Early the next morning, Chen made some gruel and pickles, and the mother and son simply ate breakfast.

Chen gave a few words of advice, and then prepared to go out to work as usual. Su Mo sent her out of the door, looked at the slightly rickety back, and warned herself in her heart that she must make more money in the future, at least repay her for her parenting kindness for her predecessor.

Su Mo first walked out of the town along the long street.

The sword and dust he got from the Black Wind Dao people were buried in a small forest by him, and he was worried that Chen would see these two things, so he couldn't say that they were picked up on the road.

He walked to the place where the sword was buried, and looked at it, and the two things were still there, so he was relieved.

Although this sword and dust whisk Su Mo can't use it himself, if he sells it in the Heifang market, he can also exchange it for a few taels of silver.

Su Mo reburied the sword, and took some withered yellow leaves and sprinkled them on it, so that no one should notice that the soil here had been dug up.

On an early spring morning, there is still a layer of mist in the air.

There are many fields outside Qingshi Town, and at this time, you can already see farmers with dry food and clean water and hoes coming out of the town, and they should be going to work in the fields.

Su Mo changed into a simple linen shirt today, and as for the one that was torn by the Black Wind Dao people, he had already thrown it away before he got home last night. When Chen asked, he also made up a reason to prevaricate.

The temperature was a little cold, but Su Mo didn't care about it.

If he had been standing in the cold wind in such thin clothes, he would definitely be shivering from the cold. Not now, this is all the benefit that the river ghost yin qi brought to him.

At present, Su Mo's body has hardly changed.

However, when defeating the Black Wind Dao people, the force of his punches is difficult for even a member of a gang to do, and he is confident that he can compete with some people in the gang.

Walking back to the town along the long street, some small traders and vendors have already begun to set up stalls, mostly selling fritters, cooking cakes, buns and other food, as for some other vegetables and fruits, the stalls of rouge and gouache have not yet opened.

Bluestone is a small place after all, and there is only one gang here.

It is not correct to say that it is a gang, and the appropriate statement should be a branch of a big gang in Danyang County, and this big gang is called the Dajiang Gang.

As far as Su Mo knows, most gangs are often involved in collecting profits, collecting protection money, selling intelligence, and other matters.

In addition, regional forces such as families, casinos, and Qinglou are also inextricably linked to gangs. Some gangs will also assist the government in solving some cases, exterminating some bandits, and so on.

Gangs are independent forces that are not controlled by the government at all. But the king of Shu allowed various gangs to absorb manpower, and they became the climate.

For a lord who believes that 'the side of the couch will not allow others to sleep peacefully,' this kind of permissiveness seems a little unreasonable.

But when you think about the relationship, it's not surprising.

Behind those big gangs, there is often a big sect that supports their development, such as the Dajiang Gang, which is actually a subsidiary force of a large sect called Xiaoyao Palace.

Although most secular warriors would not get involved in the battles between the princes of the dynasty, they still enjoyed a significant position.

And some of the big martial arts sects have a deep heritage, many masters, and are independent of the world. The lord of the great sect is even higher than the lord of a vassal state.

It can be said that even if the king of a country has a high status, he is still afraid of those masters who come and go after all. Isn't it very unjust to be secretly killed by the people of the sect because of confrontation with the big sect?

As for the role of some gangs, to put it bluntly, it is to raise supplies and money for the sectarian forces behind them.

After all, no matter how people in the sect practice martial arts or cultivate, they always have to eat, and eating costs money. But they can't collect protection money themselves, so they can only give the gang some rights, and then let the gang members take care of some trivial things for them.

Su Mo thought in his heart, the person had already crossed the long street and arrived near the county office.

Qingshi Town is administratively divided into county-level counties, while Danyang County is one level higher and is at the prefecture level. In Qingshi Town, the biggest official is Song Zhixian, and his people have a relationship with Kang Zhengping, the foreign envoy of the Dajiang Gang in Qingshi Town.

Su Mo didn't know where to meet the Dajiang Gang, he only knew that Kang Zheng often came to the county government to assist the county magistrate in handling government affairs together, so he decided to come here to try his luck.

"Stop! This is a public court, and the idlers leave quickly!" A tall and thin servant saw Su Mo wandering in front of the gate, and immediately shouted.

"Two officials, I have something to see the foreign envoy of Dajiang Bangkang, I don't know if he is in the county office?" Su Mo didn't expect the two officials to drive people away without saying a word, so he hurriedly spoke.

"How can you see such a big man as Foreign Minister Kang?" said the tall and thin servant with some irritation.

"I'll tell you the truth, I want to join the Dajiang Gang, and I need Foreign Minister Kang to introduce me to me. Su Mo said lightly.

"Yo, I'm not afraid to flash my tongue when I say big things. Look at your weak look, what qualifications do you have to join the Dajiang Gang, hurry up and stay where you are. The tall and thin official sneered, and the shorter official next to him was also full of ridicule.

"Whether you are qualified or not is not up to you, a little servant, to have the final say, it is the foreign envoy of Renkang who has the final say. Su Mo secretly scolded this thin bamboo pole dog for looking down on people, and he still looked kind on the surface.

"Hey, you kid, you can't understand people, don't you? Isn't it nonsense? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you!" After speaking, the thin and tall official threw aside the killing stick, and was about to roll up his sleeves.

"You can try it. As soon as these words came out, Su Mo himself was stunned.

He didn't understand when he had become much more irritable and tougher. If it is the influence of absorbing the yin qi, then the impact is inevitably too great, I don't know whether it is a curse or a blessing.

"Good boy, punch me!"

'Whew'!

The thin and tall servant didn't even see Su Mo's movements clearly, and saw a fist stop less than an inch away from the door in front of him. If this punch comes down, he will definitely be hit by a broken nose and bleeding.

The servant swallowed hard, and then shrunk his neck in fear, knowing that he had provoked hard stubble.

"What are you doing, don't stop yet!"

Su Mo moved his neck lightly and withdrew his fist.

"This little brother, why did he hit Li San?"

"Lord Song, Lord Kang, this kid ......" Li San was about to make up some nonsense to slander Su Mo, but when he saw Su Mo's eyes glaring at him coldly, he shuddered and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Song Zhixian, who was wearing an official uniform, glanced at Li San, he knew this guy's temperament very well, and what he said was true and false, and he couldn't believe it.

Kang Zheng looks good and wears a black suit. He stared at Su Mo and said, "Little brother, it's better for you to talk about this matter, if you dare to say a lie, I will let Lord Song put you in prison for three days." ”

"Hmm. Su Mo nodded and recounted what happened before in detail.
