Chapter 14 Reading

A new day has arrived.

Dian Wei had a good night's sleep, woke up early, and started the day step by step.

While!

While!

The golden dice stopped on the ground and the result was 3 points.

"Start charging ......"

"Charge 0.01%, 0.02% ......"

Dian Wei stretched his waist, got on the donkey, and went to Cangtong Town as usual, first to the stall selling breakfast for breakfast.

After a while, more people came to eat breakfast.

"Last night, there was a fire in Yongning Fang, burning half of the street."

"yes, I've heard that there are two gangs fighting for territory."

"Yes, one is the Black Tiger Gang, and the other is the Iron Hand Gang, they are fighting very hard, and they seem to be dead."

"I've heard that six ...... died"

There was a lot of discussion, Dian Wei frowned when he heard it, he already knew a lot about Cangtong Town.

In this town, there is really no official yamen.

That's right, it's a place of lawlessness.

In the town, the four major sect leaders of Wang, Song, Zheng, and Lu are extremely powerful, like four mountains pressing on the heads of the people, but they do not directly rule Cangtong Town.

The apprentices taught by the four major leaders relied on their personal strength to recruit people to establish gangs, divide territory, and collect protection money.

Whoever has a big territory will have a lot of power.

As a result, land grabbing has become the daily routine of major gangs.

Interestingly, the four major leaders never interfere in the fight between gangs, the winner is the king, the loser is the coward, and whoever has the greatest ability is the boss.

At first glance, Cangtong Town is full of gangs and seems to be a mess.

But the fact is that several large gangs, with their own strong forces, will not go to war at will, and the lives of most people will not be affected too much.

The upper forces are basically solidified.

Those who dare to fight are basically those small gangs, or newly formed gangs, who fight to the death for the protection of a street or a stall, which is just an ordinary thing.

It's not the first time Dian Wei has heard of gang fights, it has nothing to do with him, he is not from the town and will not get involved.

Living in the middle of nowhere, not so much trouble.

Of course, you can't share the most fertile land near Cangtong Town.

Like Erdao Village, where Dian Wei is located, the soil in the valley is relatively poor, and the crops grown naturally do not grow too well, and the harvest is less than half of the fertile soil.

Moreover, living in the middle of nowhere, safety is also a big concern.

After breakfast, Dian Wei came directly to Zheng's mansion.

Just as he was warming up, a maid sister ran over and shouted, "That Dian Wei, Zheng Lao called you over." ”

Dian Wei was stunned.

Old man Zheng is usually very lazy, and except for a few apprentices who have advanced cultivation, he usually doesn't pay attention to others at all.

An apprentice like Dian Wei who was still in the stage of practicing basic skills, Old Man Zheng threw his hand and handed it to Sun Shan to teach, and he was too lazy to take a look.

Dian Wei was very suspicious.

For no reason, what did Old Man Zheng ask me for.

Dian Wei couldn't help but think of another thing, the land lord asked him to bring a word to Zheng Mao, but he didn't say it until now.

Not to say that there is a reason.

Because he can see the "Yin God", which is not something that ordinary people can do, that is, he may be an outlier.

This, if exposed, could lead to unimaginable consequences.

What if someone catches him like a guinea pig and studies it?

In short, Dian Wei didn't want people to know that he could see the Yin God, and pretending to be ordinary was the safest way to survive.

"Sister, what is Elder Zheng looking for me?" Dian Wei hurriedly asked.

"How do I know, you can ask yourself." The maid turned away, not knowing whether she didn't want to say it, or if she really didn't know.

Dian Wei wiped his sweat, tidied up the coarse linen clothes on his body, and then came to the hall.

When I looked around, I found that Old Man Zheng was meeting guests.

The guest was a middle-aged man, dressed in a simple Confucian robe, crepe, suave, and seemed to be a scholar.

Dian Wei stepped forward and said, "Old Zheng, the disciple is here." ”

Old man Zheng turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Dian Wei, are you literate or not, how are you writing?" ”

Ask me calligraphy?

Dian Wei is a little difficult, this world uses all ancient texts, it is good to be able to barely recognize it, where can it be written.

He replied, "Well-so-so, I don't know how to write a lot of words. ”

After hearing this, Old Man Zheng turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, who smiled and said, "It's okay, you can practice if you don't know how to write, I can teach him." ”

Zheng Lao nodded, and Chong Dian Wei said: "This is my friend, surnamed Qin Mingming, known as Mr. Qin, there is a lack of a scholar by his side, I want to arrange for you to go, there is money to make, how about it?" ”

Dian Wei didn't want to be a scholar, so he said: "The disciple is dedicated to practicing martial arts, and he lives in the countryside, I'm afraid it's not very convenient." ”

"Don't worry, it won't delay your martial arts practice."

Mr. Qin smiled gently, "You come to my house every day, take care of your dinner, and if you want to stay overnight, you can also eat and stay." Besides, how about giving you two taels of silver every month? ”

When Dian Wei heard this, the conditions were quite good, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What do you do?" ”

Mr. Qin: "I don't have a good hand, and I need someone to help me write letters, transcribe books and so on. ”

Dian Wei glanced at Mr. Qin's hand, and this look, he didn't find where Mr. Qin's hand was.

Taking a closer look, Dian Wei was shocked.

Mr. Qin's two long sleeves were empty, and his arms were actually mutilated!

Dian Wei's heart quickly understood, and he nodded: "The disciple is willing." ”

"Very well, you can come over tonight." Mr. Qin looked quite satisfied and left the address.

Dian Wei wrote it down, and then returned to the courtyard to practice.

"Senior Brother Dian Wei, who is that guest, and why did you call you over?" Sun Shan and a few people came over, and said with curiosity on their faces.

Dian Wei said.

I didn't mention two taels of silver, nor did I mention anything about food and shelter.

But unexpectedly, everyone didn't know this Mr. Qin, and no one had even heard of him.

"I can also write, why didn't Zheng Lao look for me?" When a young man heard this, he said a little sourly.

"Maybe you're ugly." Sun Shan ridiculed, making everyone laugh.

Everyone quickly lost interest in this matter and practiced martial arts separately.

It's time for Shen.

Dian Wei followed the address to a large compound and looked up at the gate.

The word "Qin Mansion" is particularly eye-catching.

Dian Wei knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

The porter was a strong man with a large black mole on his left cheek and one eye that was pale and blind.

Dian Wei reported to his home.

"It turns out that you are Mr.'s scholar, please come in." A smile appeared on the porter's face, and he let Dian Wei enter the door.

Dian Wei entered the door and swept his eyes, only to find that this Qin Mansion is very large, with bluestone paving, heavy pavilions, corridors, water pavilions, carved beams and paintings, just like a mansion.

"No worse than Zheng's house."

Dian Wei guessed that Mr. Qin's identity was extraordinary, and he could be a friend of Old Man Zheng, which was not simple in itself.

All the way to the study.
