Chapter 114
"Failed!"

The results were not surprising.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Fangzheng sighed helplessly.

He had already exhausted all means, but the opponent refused to speak, the low-level spells and talismans of the Aconitum Sect could not affect the second-blood warriors after all.

Don't talk about the secret method that directly attacks other people's minds,

Even the situation of the White Lotus Sect in Gu'an County could not be found out.

"pity!"

Shaking his head, Fang Zheng was thoughtful:
"Although the experiment was unsuccessful, it may not be impossible. It's a pity that I don't know how to torture people, otherwise I still have a chance."

"Well……"

"Perhaps, the way of thinking can be changed."

The White Lotus Sect has the Real Qi Realm method, and it is said that it is still a superior method. If you catch a core disciple, you may be able to ask about it.

of course,

The premise is how to ask.

These cult monsters are extremely fanatical in their belief in the Inanimate Mother, so they are extremely resistant to spells that confuse gods and gods.

Ordinary methods will definitely not work.

…………

The next day.

Shen House.

Unlike the Fang Mansion which was in a mess, the Shen Mansion was not attacked by refugees last night.

The gate is the same as before, and the scenery remains the same.

"Treasurer Mi!"

"Brother Han!"

……

"Master Fang!"

Walking into the courtyard, many people had already gathered here, they were all familiar faces from the neighbors, Fangzheng clasped his fists and met them one by one.

"I heard that refugees rushed into Fang's mansion last night?"

Shopkeeper Mi stepped closer and said in a low voice:
"how is the situation?"

"Fair." Fangzheng said:
"There are not many people in my yard, but the gate was destroyed and some items were damaged. Most of the people are fine. How is the situation with Shopkeeper Mi?"

Shopkeeper Mi is less than five feet tall, with an ugly face and a ridiculous mind.

It should be that the midwife failed to deliver the baby properly at birth, with a wretched face, three parts like a human, seven parts like a ghost, and she has a nickname called Sancunding.

However, this person is a good businessman, and Mijiahuo is quite famous throughout Gu'an County.

It's just ugly.

"I……"

"Hey!"

Shopkeeper Mi sighed when he heard the words:
"A warehouse on my side was turned upside down by the refugees. There wasn't even any bad rice left to feed the livestock. The warehouse was completely clean."

"Damn refugees!"

"That's the grain that I spent hundreds of dollars buying. According to the current market price, it's more than enough to double it. It's all ruined."

"Just be content with it." Butcher Zhang who butchered pigs snorted coldly and said:
"At least no one died in your family. Several people died in my house, even my concubine in the sixth house... a goddamn refugee!"

He cursed under his breath, the resentment on his face hard to get rid of.

Butcher is not a good name, but his status in this different world is not low. Without certain skills, he can't do this business at all.

In fact,

The same is true in the ancient Xia Kingdom.

According to the history of the Five Dynasties: "There is a city butcher who is strong and healthy, and many people are afraid."

It refers to the fact that most butchers are strong and strong, and people are more or less afraid.

In such a chaotic period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, even the constraints of the king's law were all gone, and people still had awe of butchers.

One can imagine the deterrence of the butcher.

For example, Jing Ke, Zhang Fei, Fan Kuai and others were all born as pig butchers, or had something to do with them.

Butcher Zhang slaughters dozens of pigs every day, employs no less than a hundred helpers, and has four stalls in Gu'an County, which is definitely a master.

He himself is also a second-blood peak warrior.

More natural power!
"It should be more than refugees." Fang Zheng said:

"Last night, a few demons from the White Lotus Sect appeared in my place. The turmoil has spread to the entire county. I'm afraid there are demons at work."

"what?"

"White Lotus Cult demon?"

"Mr. Fang's words are true?"

When everyone heard the words, their faces changed.

If it's just a refugee, it's fine. Although there will be a lot of trouble, but with the identities and status of everyone present, they are not afraid.

White Lotus Sect...

No one can guarantee that this group of monsters will survive the attack, and it is not uncommon for them to be wiped out.

"What Mr. Fang said is true."

Shen Ji stepped forward and said:

"Shen also found traces of the White Lotus Sect among the refugees, otherwise it wouldn't have been so chaotic last night, um...it should be called Wenxiang Sect."

"Wenxiangjiao?" The shopkeeper of the three-inch Dingmi opened his eyes:
"Brother Shen, what you mean is that the Wenxiang Sect in the city is the White Lotus Sect?"

"Eighty nine is not far from ten." Shen Ji nodded, with a dignified expression:
"That's why Shen suggested that we should integrate our forces and form a team to patrol the long street to deal with emergencies."

"This..." Shopkeeper Han showed hesitation:

"There is a yamen, so there should be no need for this?"

"Brother Han doesn't know something." Shen Ji shook his head and sighed:
"Last night, the yamen was also attacked by 'refugees', and two masters emerged among them, almost breaking into Master Yan's residence."

"If Patriarch Linghu hadn't come to the rescue in time, the consequences would have been unpredictable."

"However, even Patriarch Linghu is said to have failed to take advantage of anything. He just protected Master Yan and forced his opponent away."

"what!"

Everyone changed color.

"The cult monster is so courageous!"

"Aren't you afraid of being suppressed by the imperial army?"

"..."

"The mountain is blocked by heavy snow, and the imperial army will not be able to come to Gu'an County for a while, so the county government can't pay attention to me in a short time." Shen Ji shook his head:

"and……"

"Do you really want the army to come over?"

There was silence.

The bandits pass like a comb, and the soldiers pass like a grate.

Nowadays, the reputation of the imperial army is not very good, maybe when they come, everyone's situation will become worse.

"I have no opinion."

Butcher Zhang said in a muffled voice:
"Brother Shen commanded a group of guards last night to defeat the incoming refugees and keep the left and right guards safe. My nursing home can hand them over."

"Brother Zhang has said so, and I have no objection."

"fair enough……"

Many people died in Zhang Tuhu's family last night, and even he was willing to hand over the nursing home at home, which shows his trust in Shen Ji.

Others also expressed their views.

but……

Fangzheng glanced over, and knew at a glance that the ones who had agreed were all Shen Ji's neighbors, and the residents at the end of the street had not expressed their views yet.

Also.

If there is a riot, the streets and alleys will definitely be hit first. If the nursing home at home is handed over, who can guarantee that it will be fully protected.

What is controlled by oneself is called power.

How many people are willing to take big risks and hand over their own power?

As for Shen Ji's neighbors, several families joined forces to defeat the refugees last night, and they already have a certain degree of trust, and they are very close to each other.

Besides, they are too close, if one family suffers, the other families will not be spared either. It can be said that everyone is damaged, so naturally I don't mind.

The shopkeeper of Three Inch Dingmi showed hesitation:

"I'll think about it again."

"This..." Shopkeeper Han, who lives on the street, thought for a long time, then sighed softly, nodded unexpectedly and said:
"I am willing!"

"Fang also has no objection." Fangzheng spread his hands and said:
"Nevertheless, there are no more than ten people in Fang's house, and they have more than enough heart but not enough strength."

The area occupied by Fang Mansion ranks among the top three in the nearby streets, but the number of people in the courtyard is the bottom three, and there is no way to tell the difference.

"It's ok."

Butcher Zhang said in a muffled voice:

"No one, you can pay."

"The nursing home is a business of losing heads. During this period of time, it must not be paid at the original price. It will also cost money to pay pensions to people who are dead."

"Not bad." One person nodded:
"Mr. Fang is rich and powerful. He was willing to pay 100 taels of silver just to let those refugees retreat last night. Is it not too much to pay five hundred and 1000 taels this time?"

"Extremely so."

Several people echoed.

Five hundred, 1000 taels?

Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and was speechless.

This is really when you are being taken advantage of. You ask the entire Gu'an County, how many companies can take out 1000 taels of silver in total?
"You guys are joking."

Arching his hands, Fangzheng said slowly:

"Fang's family is shallow, but they are willing to do their best. I still have 200 taels of silver in hand, which can be taken out together."

Hearing this, several people in the crowd immediately became displeased.

Especially Zhang Tuhu.

"Okay."

On the contrary, Shen Ji showed a smile on his face, waved his hands to suppress the voices of the crowd, and said:

"Mr. Fang is willing to pay money because he thinks highly of Shen, but this matter is of great importance, but Shen is absolutely irresistible."

"I would like to introduce two friends to you."

"Clap!"

He slapped his palms lightly and shouted back:

"You two, you can come out now."

The applause fell, and two figures stepped out slowly from behind the screen. Before they arrived, a disgusting smell rushed over.

Fangzheng frowned, and his eyes fell on one of them.

beggar!

But the person who came was wearing tattered clothes, the skin under the clothes was also covered with dirt, his long hair was in locks, and he hadn't washed for an unknown period of time.

smell,

It just came from this person.

As for the other person...

With a jade-like face and star-like eyes, he looks like he is in his early thirties or in his 40s, making it impossible to tell the exact age.

She was dressed in white and filled with snow, and her complexion was actually a little whiter than the clothes.

Not pale.

Instead, it is as white as snow, and even if you take a second look, you can feel an inexplicable chill that makes your heart contract.

Three bloods!

These two people are actually three-blood warriors.

And different from ordinary martial arts masters, they seem to have inheritance in their bodies, and they have already condensed their energy and blood, showing a bit of detachment.

Even the beggar, obviously smelly and tattered, was not easy to provoke at a glance.

The strength of these two people...

I'm afraid it's no worse than Xu Seng, the owner of the Gunslinger Pavilion.

"This is Jiao Gujiao, the leader of the Beggar Gang."

With a smile on his face, Shen Ji didn't dislike the stinky expression on the other party's body at all. He stepped up to the beggar and extended his hand to introduce:
"Palace Master Jiao is a disciple of an elder of the Beggar Clan. He has already succeeded in refining viscera a few years ago, and achieved three bloods. His strength is not extraordinary."

"This is Mr. Fang Zhuang, Zhuang Yi."

Stretching out his hand to attract another person, Shen Ji said:
"Mr. Zhuang heard about the name of Ci'en Temple, so he came here to pay a visit. However, he was suddenly trapped in Gu'an County by heavy snowfall. Fortunately, Shen was lucky enough to get to know him."

"Brother Shen is joking."

Zhuang Yifang smiled and waved his hands:
"Zhuang is living under someone else's roof, and I will trouble everyone to take care of her in the future."

"Young Master Zhuang is being polite."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

"..."

Everyone waved their hands again and again.

In Zhuang Yifang's body, they can feel the charm of the children of a family, seemingly approachable, but actually superior.

It can be seen from a distance but not played with.

Children of the family?

Someone subconsciously looked at Fang Zheng.

Rumor has it that this Mr. Fang has a mysterious origin, and it is very likely that he came from an extraordinary background.

And after getting in touch with them, everyone could also feel that Fangzheng was different from them, and he was very different from them in every aspect.

but,
Lack of extravagance!

It wasn't obvious before.

Now compare it with Zhuang Yifang and make a verdict.

Fangzheng's body is obviously more vulgar, while Zhuang Yifang's temperament is more detached, with an inexplicable charm in his gestures.

That is the temperament that can only be cultivated by strict upbringing since childhood.

"With Hall Master Jiao and Young Master Zhuang, two three-blood masters, we can have no fear of those evil cult monsters." Shen Jilang smiled:

"Everyone sit down!"

"I have asked my servants to prepare the food and drink. I will wait for today and have a drink."

"Greedy drink is a mistake." Zhuang Yifang shook his head lightly:

"Just have a drink."

"Yes, yes." Shen Ji nodded:

"Mr. Zhuang said so."

…………

night.

After seeing off the guests.

Shen Ji walked into a room smelling of alcohol.

"Hall Master Jiao."

"Shopkeeper Shen."

In the room, apart from the burning, there were also a few beggars in ragged clothes. When they opened the door and entered, they were greeted by a pungent and strange smell.

Even though Shen Ji had already had a lot of contact with them, he still wanted to retreat subconsciously.

"sit."

Jiao Gu grinned, showing his yellow teeth, reached out and pulled out the chicken feet and pork bones on the table, and took out another roast chicken and put it on the table:
"Let's eat together?"

"No." Shen Ji smiled dryly:

"A few people can use it."

"Then we're welcome."

The beggars were really rude, they stretched out their hands and tore the roast chicken, and it was divided into pieces after a few strokes, and everyone's mouths were full of oil.

"belch……"

One of them burped, with a happy expression on his face:
"Comfortable!"

"Hall Master Jiao." Shen Ji took out some banknotes from his arms and handed them over:

"This is part of today's harvest, a total of 800 taels of silver. It is the bank note of the Tianshi Taoist Bank, which can be used anywhere."

"Ah."

Jiao Gu pursed his lips, grabbed the bank note, nodded it casually, and stuffed it into his bosom. He didn't seem to care much about the 800 taels of silver, but said indifferently:

"well done."

"Recruiting so many people, you have some skills, and the beggar gang, even in Gu'an County, it is not a small force."

"Hall Master has a great reputation." Shen Ji lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"However, there are still a few who are unwilling to send people out, and they are also unwilling to pay for it. What should we do?"

"Then wait for death." Jiao Gu grinned:
"Depending on the situation, there will be at least a month of chaos in Gu'an County. The people of the White Lotus Sect are all lunatics. They will know that they will be afraid if they destroy a few families by then."

"don’t worry."

Seeing that Shen Ji was already worried, he smiled:
"The environment is different, and the law of the jungle will be the law of the jungle for the next month. We must adapt as soon as possible. Can you tell me which ones have not paid?"

"Three streets, there are a total of nine houses that don't pay money or people."

"Several of them do not have much wealth..."

"En." Jiao Gu rubbed his chin with his big oily hand:
"Why don't we get a few first?"

"Fafali City, all of you live here are rich people, and if you just search for a family, you may get more than 800 taels of silver, right?"

"Inappropriate." Shen Ji's complexion changed:
"It's too deliberate, and it's easy to arouse suspicion from others."

"Then do it together with those who paid for it, so that no one will misunderstand." Jiao Gu snorted coldly and asked:

"Which family in these streets is the richest?"

"This..." Shen Ji thought for a while and said:
"The Mi family, the Zhang family, and... the Fang residence."

"Master Jiao, when we do this kind of thing, we still have to avoid someone with the surname Zhuang. This person is a bit... stubborn. If he finds out, it may ruin the event."

"Haha..." A beggar in the house laughed loudly when he heard this:

"Shopkeeper Shen, you are too careful. Look at Zhuang Yifang's aloof appearance, but he is willing to deal with us?"

"Where we go, he has already avoided it far away."

"He is the son of a family, and those who beg for food with us are not in the same way."

"Yes."

Shen Ji bowed his head:

"I think too much."

modern society.

hospital.

Fangzheng came to the ward with a fruit basket in his hand, opened the door, and couldn't help but pause when he saw the people inside.

Zhou Ping, his nominal senior brother, and his daughter Zhou Qingqing were also there.

"You came."

Guo Ziran was lying on the bed, smiling when he saw this:

"Is the company busy today?"

"It's nothing serious, I'll come and have a look." Fangzheng put down the fruit basket and asked:
"How are you feeling these days, master?"

"It's much better." Guo naturally motioned Zhou Qingqing to shake the bed, and said:
"This is an old problem of mine. Just check it out. There's no need to book such an expensive ward in this kind of hospital. I heard it costs tens of thousands a day?"

"Don't worry about money." Fangzheng shook his head:
"Keeping up your body is the right thing to do."

"Ahem..." Zhou Ping coughed twice:
"You send me the bill later. I'm also the master's apprentice. I'll share the money I spent later."

"Hey." Guo Ziran stretched out his hand and pressed:

"How much money do you earn a month? You don't have to argue with Fang Zheng about this matter. I am also blessed when I am old. I have such a rich apprentice."

"Ah……"

"It's still a good place to nourish your body!"

As he spoke, he stretched his muscles comfortably.

"That's right." Fang said expressionlessly:
"But for 10,000+ yuan, Director Zhou doesn't have to be polite to me."

"Brother, you are also the director of the Public Security Department, and your status is not low. Why can't you arrange an intensive care unit for the master?"

Zhou Ping opened his mouth and clenched his fingers, speechless.

"My father is innocent, so it's not as good as some people who specialize in it." Zhou Qingqing was annoyed. Seeing Fangzheng looking sideways, her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly picked up a peeled apple and put it near Guo Ziran's mouth, flattering him. :

"Master, eat some fruit."

"Haha..." Guo Ziran laughed:

"well."

"I'm going to fetch water." Zhou Ping sat uncomfortably, found an excuse and walked out.

"Fangzheng." Guo Ziran looked sideways and persuaded:
"Don't ask your senior brother for advice. He is just a bit stubborn. Now that you know his temperament, you should give way to everything."

"Master." Fangzheng sighed softly:
"You really love senior brother."

He never thought of going against Zhou Ping, but the other party never thought of letting him go, and it was impossible for the two of them to talk about going together.

Guo naturally chuckled.

At his age, even life and death have been put aside, what else can he care about?

young people's conflicts,

Let them solve it.

Both of them are good boys, and Guo is confident that he is not mistaken about this point, but the roads are different, and there will inevitably be some bumps and bumps.

"Master, rest well."

After chatting for a while, Fangzheng got up:

"I'll go to the doctor and ask about the situation."

"it is good."

Guo naturally nodded.

…………

"Mr. Fang."

Dr. Wang is the chief physician in this private hospital. He has all kinds of honors and honors on him, but now he is doing small things like physical examination.

"Old Guo's body is considered healthy on the whole, but he is old, and some geriatric diseases are inevitable. After all, his physique cannot be compared with that of young people."

"in addition……"

"It's just that he was injured when he was young, and his waist and legs are not very good. It's best to come for regular checkups."

"Ah."

Fangzheng nodded:

"Please trouble Dr. Wang for the regular checkup. If it's convenient, let the hospital drive to pick up my master. If possible, it's best to do the checkup at home."

"Yes."

Doctor Wang nodded:
"Old people, it's best not to run around."

"That's right." Fangzheng said:

"Does Doctor Wang benefit from what I said a few days ago?"

"Veritaserum?" Dr. Wang raised his head, his eyes flickered, and Fang whispered:
"Some drugs in the anesthesiology department can indeed make people quickly enter a special state of consciousness, but they can't achieve the effect of the rumored veritaserum."

"And most of them are addictive. Once there is a problem with the measurement, it will cause irreversible damage to the human body."

"In the past, some departments in foreign countries used some of these drugs as veritaserum, but it may not be true if you ask."

"No problem." Fangzheng chuckled lightly:
"Give me a few first."

Put people's consciousness into a special state?
enough!
