Carrying the book, Wei He continued to walk towards the cloth shop, but after a while, he saw that there was actually a wine shop on the side of the road.

However, there is no smell of alcohol at the entrance of the winery. Instead, there is a large smell of tea.

Even at this time of year, there is constantly the sound of bragging.

Wei He paused, walked over and lifted the curtain, and entered the wine shop.

There were more than a dozen people sitting sparsely in the workshop, most of them dressed neatly.

Most of the people who can maintain dignity in this world and come to drink tea are people from some families.

In the corner of the wall on the side, there were three unkempt thin people squatting, and a wooden sign was placed in front of the three of them, on which they each wrote crookedly: Sell your body to bury your father, sell your body to bury your mother, and sell your body to bury your brother.

The three of them lined up in a row, extremely desolate, but Wei He didn't know why, and his heart was speechless.

He walked over to an empty table with his book in his hand and sat down.

Immediately, a girl stepped forward and poured water for him. And carefully said the price.

Different teas have different prices, and there is no need to trade grains and noodles here, but to collect relief cards from the city gang.

"Tongcheng Gang Relief Card?" Wei He was surprised, "What is that?"

"The guest officer didn't know that the leader of the Tongcheng Gang was an old man, and he took pity on the big guy's hard life, so he issued batches of relief.

This relief card is used to receive relief food. A relief card can be exchanged for a certain amount of multigrain noodles. ”

The girl explained skillfully, and it seemed that she didn't know how many times she had said it.

Relief cards?

The Tongcheng Gang, one of the three gangs and two factions, would be so kind?

Wei He doesn't believe it, there is no good thing in this world for no reason. There must be a conspiracy behind it.

"If the guest doesn't have a relief card, he can also pay with the inner city golden beans. The girl reminded.

Jindou Weihe has it.

He has killed a lot of mountain bandits recently, and the most money bags he has robbed are said to be golden beans, but in fact they are just copper horns mixed with gold.

Ten of these things can be exchanged for one gold leaf, and ten gold leaves can be exchanged for one or two gold, which is the simplest circulating currency in the inner city.

The inner city can still maintain stable prices now, and it is also due to the stability of the Seven Alliances.

I just don't know how long these seven alliances can last.

Wei He sighed in his heart, asked for a pot of buckwheat tea, put it on the table, and drank it quietly, as for the price, it was a golden bean, and there was more than that.

The store gave him an extra plate of peanuts.

The peanuts and rice are a little musty, but a pot of buckwheat tea is full of buckwheat and multigrain rice, and you can still eat it as a meal after drinking water.

Wei He's peace of mind sat down, intending to listen to the current situation in the city, this wine shop and teahouse and other places are good places for chatting and bragging, and they are naturally a gathering place for news circulation.

Generally, the people who can come to this kind of place are scattered people who don't worry about eating and drinking, and have nothing to do. This kind of person often has a lot of time to spend, and since the family does not worry about food and clothing, it is naturally not an ordinary family, and they all have a certain family background.

In this way, the news is naturally well-informed.

Once these people have any interesting stories, they often come here to spread the word and share them with their friends, so as to become the focus of everyone's attention here, and gain vanity and satisfaction in status.

And the gathering of these people has further attracted people who do their business. Such as storytellers, singers, music sellers, etc.

There are more ways to entertain, which further attracts more popularity.

And these storytellers and the like, because they go south and north, can also further bring more information that is true or false.

Wei He wants this kind of channel. Anyway, now that he is behind the stone skin, without the supervision and attention of Master Zheng, he has a lot of free time. It is also necessary to spend a day investigating the situation.

........

........

........

Yonghe dart game.

Somewhat bleak on the stone square.

Several big dart heads and the main men of the Cheng family were present. There are also many dart masters, and they also come from the branch offices of various towns.

Dozens of nearly 100 people gathered together, all of them were headed, all waiting for news.

Cheng Shaojiu also stood at the forefront of the Cheng family's men, quietly waiting for news.

Waiting for the news of the chief dart head Cheng Zhengxing.

Not long after, Cheng Zhengxing and a few dart masters came in from outside the square.

His face stiffened, and he didn't say a word, and walked all the way to the top of the wooden platform for speech.

The surrounding dart masters automatically made way for him.

Not long after, when Cheng Zhengxing walked to Cheng Shaojiu's side, he paused, glanced at his nephew, and wanted to say something.

But he still didn't speak, but continued to walk towards the high platform.

On a high platform.

Soon Cheng Zhengxing walked up step by step, stood at the top, and looked down at everyone.

The crowd was also focused on him.

The atmosphere that had been quiet just now was even quieter, even a little frighteningly quiet.

Everyone held their breath slightly, waiting for the final news to arrive.

Cheng Zhengxing raised his eyes and looked around, this big dart team was built by him with one hand and one foot, and it took him decades to work hard.

And now.....

He opened his mouth to speak.

But the sun was so hot that he was sweating.

He felt tightness in his chest, and after taking a few deep breaths, it didn't help him, but he got more and more stuffy.

Recently, he has stayed up all night and traveled all over the place, just to maintain the vitality of the dart game today.

And this last single dart is all the capital he has to turn over.

He pressed everything down.

But....

Cheng Zhengxing's heart was cold, it was obviously such a hot day. But he was chilled.

He shook his hand vigorously, and there was no warmth in his palm.

"I ......"

He finally opened his mouth.

Everyone was staring at him.

Everyone was waiting for him.

Cheng Zhengxing opened his mouth again.

"I.... Let everyone...."

He suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in front of him, and his ears were blindfolded, as if he was blocked by something, and suddenly he couldn't hear anything.

The body involuntarily leaned back.

Poof.

He didn't know anything anymore.

The Cheng family is about to fall.

The news spread like a storm through the dart master who had left the settlement.

The dart masters are waiting to see if the last dart can save everything.

But alas, this dart is over and robbed.

Cheng Zhengxing, the head of the dart who had high hopes, was also completely ill and fainted on the spot and fell to the ground.

Because of the loss of the dart, Yonghe Dart will face a huge amount of compensation to pay.

And Cheng Zhengxing fell ill in a coma, and no one in the dart game could take on the overall situation. Before, it was almost impossible to pay the salary of the dart master, but now that the head of the dart has fallen, the originally gathered dart masters finally can't bear it.

Some of the old dart masters are emotional, and those who have food at home are reluctant to stay and wait.

But most of the young dart masters are on the move, leaving quickly to find other jobs.

In just one day, the dart bureau quickly became sparsely populated, and Cheng Shaojiu, with the assistance of the two dart heads, liquidated all the food assets in the family.

But I was shocked to find that there was still some way to pay for the value of this dart.

"According to the double payout rule.... There is still a shortage of at least seven hundred taels of gold...."

Cheng Shaojiu's wife, Cheng Zhang, who was born in the account room, said in a low voice.

"Seven hundred taels...."Cheng Shaojiu gritted his teeth and looked at the boxes of supplies and grain in front of him.

On weekdays, although seven hundred taels of gold is not much or less, he can also take it out.

But now...

The uncle fell ill and fell into a coma, and all the private money of everyone in the family was raised, including the full support of several big dart heads.

But there is still a shortage of seven hundred taels of gold....

Who can he borrow this money from?

Who around can get the money?

Cheng Shaojiu was confused in his heart, and at the same time, it was like a mountain, weighing heavily on his heart.

"Young dart head...."Cheng Kai, the big dart head, wanted to speak and stopped, but thinking about the gap of seven hundred taels of gold, he couldn't make up so much.

"They want us to give an answer within these two days, otherwise we will use the storage method of the silver-beaked black snake to go out to bargain. His wife Cheng Zhang's voice echoed in Cheng Shaojiu's ears.

He gritted his teeth, not knowing how he had gone back to his room to rest.

The next day, he said in a daze that he was going to find a way, changed his clothes, and went in the direction of Huishan Boxing Academy.

When he arrived in the courtyard, he stood in his corner blankly, looking at the iron sand basin with charcoal fire, motionless.

The brothers around him, who called him brothers and sisters on weekdays, didn't say a word, and they didn't come to greet him.

And Xiao Ran, Jiang Yan, Jiang and Su have long been gradually estranged from him, and they don't treat him very much.

He raised his eyes and knew that everyone should know about the dart game.

"Brother Cheng. ”

Suddenly, Wei He's figure approached him.

"I heard yesterday that something was wrong with the dart game, so if you can help, just ask. ”

Cheng Shaojiu has a bad relationship with him, he is also attached to the Yonghe Dart Bureau, and now there is a problem with the Dart Bureau, he is worried that Cheng Shaojiu will not be able to cope with it, so he hurriedly came over to ask about the situation.

Cheng Shaojiu looked up at Wei He.

Zhang Kou was about to ask about money, but suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart.

That's seven hundred taels of gold.... He knew even more about Wei He's little income, and it only added up to forty taels of gold a month.

Where can you get so much money?

When the words came to his lips, Cheng Shaojiu was silent for a long time, and then took it back, with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, I can handle it. Rest assured, creek. ”

Rather than saying it out and making Wei He worry about it, it is better to be bored by himself.

After all, this is the business of his own Cheng family, and it has nothing to do with Wei He.

Even if he said it, Wei He couldn't do anything but worry, since this was the case, it was better not to say it.

"Rest assured. Cheng Shaojiu patted Wei He's shoulder again and said with a smile.

"If you need help, just say it, you and my brother, I am still Cheng He's godfather. Don't be alone. Wei He said in a deep voice.

He has been robbing people recently, and he has gained a good harvest, and he has not used his income much, but he has saved a golden ticket in his early 1,000s, and he is thinking about seeing if he can help.

"Got it, don't worry. Cheng Shaojiu heard him say this, the more he was like this, the more he didn't want to drag Wei He down.

If you handle your own family's affairs by yourself, how can you drag down your brothers.

"It's just that this month's salary has to be suspended. Cheng Shaojiu smiled bitterly.

"That's fine, it's important to deal with your side first. Wei He nodded.

He saw that Cheng Shaojiu seemed to be really fine, so he slowly reassured.

"Are you alright?"

"It's really no problem. Cheng Shaojiu showed a bright smile.

He knew that the people around him were watching him, and the more this time, the more he couldn't show his timidity or panic.

Now that the uncle has fallen, if even he shows his cowardice and reveals his details, then those opponents of the Cheng family in the past will not be in a daze.

They will be like hungry wolves, taking advantage of the weakness of the Cheng family, they will pounce on him from all sides and tear his family's flesh!
