"The Blackwater Gang you are talking about? A few days ago, the Blackwater Gang was annexed by a gang called the Horned Snake Gang, and now..." Cheng Shaojiu shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

"As for the other one, that gangster named Chen Biao, I heard something from my cousin."

Cheng Shaojiu's family is prosperous and well-informed, and he is considered the number one figure in several towns around Feiye City.

In addition, he himself also likes to be generous and generous, and has many friends.

Therefore, people from all walks of life have some knowledge, and you can get some news from them.

"What's the matter?" Wei He asked in a deep voice.

"It's just some gangsters from Mouse Alley who have joined the newly established Horned Snake Gang. Now they are expanding their territory and killing each other every day. It's so lively.

But why are you asking about a gangster? What? This guy has a grudge against you?" Cheng Shaojiu glanced at Wei He.

"Nothing, thank you very much. If you can help me keep an eye on Chen Biao, I will help you finish the last question."

Wei He negotiated terms.

Another reason why he was able to get close to Cheng Shaojiu was that this guy had always had a headache with cultural homework at home.

His father hired him for one-on-one lessons and gave him homework every few days.

This gave Cheng Shaojiu quite a headache.

He is just a playful person who likes to join in the fun and make friends. There is no way he can sit still and write and write.

So after discovering that Wei He had the function of ghostwriting assignments, he decisively made a request.

Let Wei He give it a try.

Unexpectedly, the homework written by Wei He turned out to be very good, and he was highly praised by his husband.

Although he only praised his neat and powerful handwriting, it was much better than his own.

As a result, the two often get what they need and learn from each other's strengths.

"That's a good relationship! I'm just waiting for your words. I haven't said it yet, Chen Biao, right? I'll help you keep an eye on him!" Cheng Shaojiu patted his chest and made a promise.

"Thank you, Third Senior Brother." Wei He nodded.

"Wei He, master asked you to come over." Suddenly, a small boy ran out from the door of the inner room of the courtyard and called this way.

"I know." Wei He put down the stone and quickly entered the inner room.

In the room, Old Man Zheng was shirtless, and behind him an old pharmacist was applying plaster to him.

The room was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

Seeing Wei He come in, Old Man Zheng didn't even raise his head, but just rolled his eyes. "Go and buy me five taels of Sapphire, five taels of Angelica dahurica, white peony root, and six coins of Scrophulariaceae. You can keep the money first, and I'll make up for it when I come back."

.”

"yes."

Because Wei He was literate and knew arithmetic calculations, after being discovered by Old Man Zheng, he was often assigned to do such work.

Putting on the cloth bag containing the medicine, Wei He went out from the side door and walked along the street in the direction of another town.

The town where Huishan Quanzheng is located is close to the inner city and is already a very prosperous area, and the shop where you want to buy medicine is in the town near the outer city.

There are more than ten towns in Feiye City, each of which is equivalent to a self-sufficient village.

There are residents, shopping streets, and various features, many of which are different from each other.

All towns surround the big square in the middle. There is a point connecting to that square.

The inner city is right across the square.

It was only then that the sky became bright.

Wei He walked quickly through the streets.

None of the shop stalls on the street are open, there are only a few bun shops with half-open wooden doors, and there are faint signs of people moving things inside.

Crossing a stone bridge between towns, Wei He quickly came to a medicinal herb shop with a dilapidated facade.

Zhao Ji Pharmacy.

There are four words hanging on the plaque above.

He was about to knock on the door when suddenly there was a rustling sound from the street on the right.

"Be reborn in bliss, smell the fragrance and cross the sea."

"Be reborn in bliss, smell the fragrance and cross the sea..."

Someone kept chanting in a low voice, and he seemed to be the leader.

Immediately afterwards, there were a large number of people's voices, chanting together.

Wei He felt nervous and quickly knocked on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

The drug store was quiet, and soon the wooden door was half-opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a black round hat pulled him in.

"Come in quickly! The people from the Katori Cult are here again!"

The shop was dark, with only some light coming from the cracks in the door and windows.

Wei He and the middle-aged man didn't say anything, and stood waiting at the door.

Waiting until the sound of chanting outside slowly fades away until it disappears.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"These Katori guys have become more and more frequent recently. I don't know when they will end." The middle-aged man let out a long breath.

"Mr. Qian, do you know that those people just now..." Wei He had seen those impressive teams before. Although the sudden encounter was a bit scary, they didn't seem to cause any trouble.

"That is the Katori Sect, a sect that has spread in the city recently. When you meet a suitable person, you will be offered incense and silver.

At first, I brought many poor people together and it became a momentum. Then I used half-robbery methods to get a lot of money and distributed it to everyone. After that, it grew bigger and bigger. I don’t know why the government didn’t care about it.”

Shopkeeper Qian sounded helpless.

"If you are met in person and you don't come out with some money, these people will block your door every day and stop doing business."

"..." Wei He was speechless.

He bought the medicinal materials he wanted from the shopkeeper, calculated the money, packed them, and left the shop again.

As he walked back, he saw the Katori Cult team again in the distance.

At first glance, there were at least two hundred people lined up in a long queue, like a long snake.

At this time, these people were confronting several officials who came forward to shout.

The leading believers were constantly being pushed around and were about to be arrested and taken away.

There was a faint aura of something wrong surging among the rest of the Katori teaching team.

Wei He glanced at it from a distance, then didn't dare to look any further, and hurried back toward Huishan Quan Zheng's courtyard.

He didn't go far when he suddenly heard a scream behind him.

"Killing people!!"

Then there was a burst of yelling, yelling, and screaming.

Wei He quickened his pace and trotted faster, heading back.

He had only practiced Huishan Quan for three months, and was barely familiar with the basic techniques of Huishan Quan. He had never even fought in actual combat.

If you get involved, who knows what will happen.

He ran back to the yard in one breath, took the medicinal materials into the inner room, and calculated the money. When Wei He walked out, he found a layer of sweat on his vest.

I don’t know if he was frightened or if he ran away.

As someone who has lived an extra lifetime, he knows best how lethal this kind of sect can be in today's world.

"What?" Third senior brother Cheng Shaojiu glanced at him, a little surprised that he was so hot after just buying medicine.

"Maybe I'm too hot from running." Wei He whispered. "Continue."

He walked to his seat and picked up the stone again to exercise.

at dusk.

After Wei He finished his work, he drank the medicinal soup, put on his clothes and prepared to collect his homework.

Collecting homework every once in a while to make money can be regarded as his long-term business.

But today he was particularly restless.

Over and over in my mind, I kept thinking about the scene I saw before, the long queue of Katori teachers.

"We must get stronger as soon as possible." He subconsciously touched the mark of the Realm Breaking Bead on his chest.

After accumulating these beads for so long, they are only half black, and the remaining half is still the original color.

After coming out of the lecture hall, he happened to pass by a drug store on his way back.
