"Failed!"

The results are not surprising.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.

He had exhausted all his means, but the other party didn't open his mouth, and the low-level spells and spirit runes of the Aconitum Sect were difficult to affect the second-blood martial artist after all.

Don't talk about the secret method that attacks the hearts and minds of others,

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

"It's a pity!"

Shaking his head, Fang Zheng thoughtfully:

"Although the experiment was unsuccessful, it may not be impossible, but it's a pity that I don't understand the tricks of torturers, otherwise there will be a chance."

"Hmm......"

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

The White Lotus Sect has a True Qi Realm method, and it is said to be a top-grade method, so if you catch a core disciple, you may be able to ask it.

Of course

The premise is how to ask it.

These cult demons are extremely fanatical about their belief in the lifeless old mother, so they are extremely resistant to spells that confuse the gods and bewitch the gods.

Ordinary methods certainly won't work.

…………

Following.

Shen Mansion.

Unlike the chaotic Fang Mansion, the Shen Mansion was not hit by refugees last night.

The courtyard is the same, and the scenery is the same.

"Rice shopkeeper!"

"Brother Han!"

……

"Young Master Fang!"

Walking into the courtyard, there were already many people gathered here, all of whom were familiar faces of neighbors, and Fang Zheng hugged his fists and met a few people one by one.

"I heard that refugees rushed into Fangfu last night?"

The shopkeeper approached and said in a low voice:

"How's it going?"

"Okay." Founder Opening:

"There are not many people in my yard, but the gate has been destroyed and some objects have been damaged, and most of them are fine, how is the situation on the side of the rice shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper 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 well when she was born, her face was obscene, three points like a person, seven points like a ghost, and there was a nickname called Sancun Ding.

However, this person is a businessman, and the Mijia goods store is quite famous in the whole Gu'an County.

It's just a little ugly.

"I ......"

"Hey!"

The shopkeeper sighed when he heard this:

"One of my warehouses was turned over by refugees, and there was not even any bad rice left to feed the livestock, and the warehouse was completely empty."

"Damn refugees!"

"That's the grain I spent hundreds of dollars to buy, and according to the current market, doubling it is more than enough, and it's all ruined."

"Be content." The butcher Zhang, who killed the pig, snorted coldly and said:

"At least there are no dead people in your family, there are several dead people in my house, even my sixth concubine...... refugees! ”

He cursed under his breath, his face filled with resentment.

The name of the butcher is not good, but his status in this other world is not low, and he can't do this business without a certain ability.

Actually

The same was true in ancient Xia Kingdom.

In the history of the five dynasties, it is said: "There is a city that is strong and strong, and many are afraid." ”

It refers to the fact that most of the butchers are in good shape, and people are more or less afraid.

In such a chaotic period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, even the constraints of the royal law were gone, and people still had a sense of awe for the butcher.

One can imagine the deterrence of the butcher.

For example, Jing Ke, Zhang Fei, Fan Xu and others were all born as pig butchers, or were involved with them.

Zhang slaughters dozens of pigs every day, employs no less than 100 helpers, and has four stalls in Gu'an County, which is definitely a tyrant.

He himself is also a second-blood peak martial artist.

More natural power!

"It shouldn't just be refugees." Founder Road:

"Last night, a few White Lotus Sect demons appeared there in my place, and this turmoil has spread throughout the county, I'm afraid that there are demons who will cause trouble."

"What?"

"White Lotus Sect demons?"

"Is what Fang Gongzi said true?"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed color.

If it's just a refugee, although there will be a lot of trouble, but as the identity and status of everyone present, he is not afraid.

White Lotus Sect ......

This group of demons made a move, and no one dared to guarantee that they would be spared, and it was normal for them to be wiped out.

"What Fang Gongzi said is true."

Shen Ji walked and said:

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

"Smell the incense?" The three-inch Ding Mi shopkeeper's eyes opened:

"What does Brother Shen mean is that the Smelling Incense Sect in the city is the White Lotus Sect?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Shen Ji nodded, his face solemn:

"That's why Shen proposed to integrate our forces and form a team to patrol the long street to deal with unexpected needs."

"This ......" Shopkeeper Han hesitated:

"With the yamen here, there shouldn't be a need for this, right?"

"Brother Han doesn't know." Shen Ji shook his head and sighed:

"Last night, the yamen was also attacked by 'refugees', and two masters came out of it, almost attacking Lord Yan's residence."

"If it weren't for the fox family master to come to the rescue in time, the consequences would be unpredictable."

"However, even if it is the head of the Linghu family, it is said that he has not been able to take any advantage, but he just protected Lord Yan and forced the opponent away."

"Ahh

The crowd changed color.

"Cult demons are so bold!"

"Aren't you afraid of the suppression of the imperial army?"

“……”

"The heavy snow covers the mountain, and the army of the imperial court will not be able to come to Gu'an County for a while and a half, so the county government will not be able to pay attention to us in a short time." Shen Ji shook his head:

"And ......"

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

There was silence in the field.

Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates.

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

"I'm okay with that."

Zhang Butcher said in a muffled voice:

"Last night, Brother Shen commanded a cadre of guards, defeated the attacking refugees, and protected the left and right, and my nursing home can be handed over."

"Brother Zhang said so, and I have no opinion."

"That's fine......

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

Others have also taken a stand.

But......

Fang Zheng's eyes swept over, and he knew at a glance that the current promises were all Shen Ji's neighbors, and the residents at the end of the street had not yet expressed their position.

Also.

If there is a riot, the streets and alleys will definitely be the first to encounter the impact, if the home nursing home is handed over, who can guarantee that it will be able to protect it thoroughly.

It is called power that is in one's own hands.

How many people are willing to take a big risk and hand over their own strength?

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

Besides, if they are too close, one family will suffer, and the other families will not be spared, so it can be said that they will lose both, so naturally they will not mind.

The three-inch Ding Mi shopkeeper hesitated:

"I'll think about it again."

"This ......" Shopkeeper Han, who lives on the street, thought for a long time, sighed lightly, nodded unexpectedly and said:

"I do!"

"Fang has no opinion." Fang Zheng spread his hands and said:

"However, there are only more than ten people up and down the Fang Mansion, and they have more than enough heart but not enough strength."

Fangfu covers an area of several nearby streets, which can rank in the top three, but the people in the courtyard are the bottom three, and there is no manpower at all.

"It's okay."

Zhang Butcher said in a muffled voice:

"No one, you can pay."

"The nursing home is doing a brainless business, and it will definitely not be able to be given at the original price during this time, and it will cost money to give bereavement benefits to the dead."

"Not bad." One nodded:

"Fang Gongzi has a lot of money, he was willing to pay a hundred taels of silver for those refugees to retreat last night, but this time it's not a lot of five hundred and one thousand taels, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Several people chimed in.

Five hundred, one thousand taels?

Fang Zheng squinted, his heart was speechless.

This is really when you are wronged, ask the entire Gu'an County, how many are there that can take out a thousand taels of silver?

"You're laughing."

Arching his hand, Fang Zheng said slowly:

"Fang's family is shallow, but he is willing to do his best, and I still have two hundred taels of silver in my hand, which can be taken out together."

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

Especially the Zhang butcher is the most.

"That's it."

However, Shen Ji smiled, waved his hand to suppress everyone's voices, and said:

"Fang Gongzi is willing to pay because he can afford Shen, but this matter is very important, but it is difficult for Shen to stand in the way."

"I'll introduce you to two friends."

"Smack!"

He clapped his palms lightly and shouted backwards:

"You two, you can come out."

The applause fell, and two figures slowly stepped out from behind the screen, and before the people arrived, a disgusting smell came to their faces.

Fang Zheng frowned, and his gaze fell on one of them.

Beggar!

But I saw that the person who came was dressed in tattered clothes, and the skin under the clothes was also covered with dirt, and his long hair was in locks, and he had not been washed for a long time.

Smell

It is from this man that floats from him.

As for the other one......

With a face like a crown of jade and eyes like a bright star, he looks like he is in his early thirties and looks like he is in his forties, making it impossible to tell the specific age.

Dressed in white Sheng Xue, his complexion is a little whiter than his clothes.

Not pale.

Instead, it is as white as snow, and even if you look at it more, you can feel an inexplicable chill that makes people's hearts contract.

Three bloods!

These two people are actually three-blooded martial artists.

And unlike ordinary martial arts hall owners, they seem to have a heritage, and they have already condensed their qi and blood, showing a bit of detachment.

Even the beggar, who was obviously foul and tattered, could be seen at a glance that it was not easy to provoke.

The strength of these two ......

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

"This is the scorched hall master of the beggar gang."

Shen Ji smiled, did not dislike the stench expression on the other party's body, stepped in front of the beggar, stretched out his hand and introduced:

"Hall Master Jiao is a disciple of an elder of the Beggar Gang, and he has been successful in refining dirt in the early years, and he has achieved three bloods, and his strength is extraordinary."

"This is Zhuang Yifang Zhuang Gongzi."

Stretching out his hand to lead another person, Shen Ji said:

"Zhuang Gongzi heard the name of Ci'en Temple, and came to visit, but he was suddenly trapped in Gu'an County by heavy snow, fortunately, Shen was fortunate to get acquainted."

Brother Shen laughed.

Zhuang Yifang smiled lightly and waved his hand:

"Zhuang sent someone under the fence, and I will have to take care of you in the future."

"Zhuang Gongzi is polite."

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

“……”

The crowd waved their hands one after another.

In Zhuang Yifang's body, they can feel the charm of a child of a family, seemingly approachable, but in fact high.

It can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

Children of a family?

Someone subconsciously looked at Fangzheng.

It is rumored that this Fang Gongzi has a mysterious background and is very likely to have an extraordinary background.

And after having contact, everyone can also perceive the difference between Fang Zheng and them, and he is very abnormal in all aspects.

but

Lack of extravagance!

It wasn't obvious before.

Now compared with Zhuang Yifang, the judgment is made.

Fang Zheng is obviously more cheesy, while Zhuang Yifang's temperament is more detached, with an inexplicable charm between his hands and feet.

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

"With the two three-blooded masters of Jiao Hall Master and Zhuang Gongzi, we can be fearless of those cult demons." Shen Jilang smiled:

"Sit down!"

"I've asked my subordinates to prepare the food and drinks, I'll wait for a drink today."

"Greedy cups and mistakes." Zhuang Yifang shook his head lightly:

"Just have a drink."

"Yes, yes." Shen Ji nodded:

"That's what Zhuang Gongzi said."

…………

Night.

After seeing off the guests.

Shen Ji walked into a room with the smell of wine on his body.

"Hall Master Jiao."

"Shopkeeper Shen."

In addition to scorching in the room, there were also a few beggars in tattered clothes, pushing the door in, and the first thing was a pungent strange smell came to the face.

Rao is Shen Ji has already had a lot of contact with them, and he still subconsciously wants to retreat.

"Sit."

Jiao Gu grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, reached out and pulled out the chicken feet and pork bones on the table, and took out a roast chicken again and put it on the table:

"Let's have a bite to eat?"

"Nope." Shen Ji smiled dryly:

"A few people are all you need."

"Then you're welcome."

A few beggars were really unkind, stretched out their hands to tear the roast chicken, and they were scattered in a few clicks, and their mouths were full of oil.

"Hiccup......

One person burped and looked pleasant:

"Comfortable!"

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

"This is part of today's harvest, a total of eight hundred taels of silver, which is the silver ticket of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and it can be used at will everywhere."

"Hmm."

Jiao Gu pursed his lips, grabbed the silver ticket, and stuffed it into his arms with a little bit of it, as if he didn't care much about the eight hundred taels of silver, but said lightly:

"Well done."

"Recruiting so many people into your command, you kid has some ability, plus the beggar gang, even in Gu'an County, it is a big force."

"The hall master has a good reputation." Shen Ji lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"But there are still a few who are unwilling to send people and don't want to pay for it, what should I do?"

"Then wait for death." Scorched grinning:

"It depends on the situation, Gu'an County will be in chaos for at least a month, and the people of the White Lotus Sect are all crazy, and they will know that they will be afraid when they destroy a few families."

"Don't worry."

Seeing that Shen Ji was already worried, he smiled:

"The environment is different, the next month is the right thing to do, we have to adapt as soon as possible, you can first tell me which ones have not paid?"

"There are three streets, and there are a total of nine families who have not paid for it."

"Some of them do not have much property......

"Hmm." Jiao Gu touched his chin with his big oily hand:

"How about getting a few first?"

"Fa Fa Li City, all of you live here are rich people, and you can get more than eight hundred taels of silver if you just loot a family, right?"

"No." Shen Ji's complexion changed:

"It's too deliberate, and it's easy to arouse the suspicion of others."

"Then even get it with the money, so that no one misunderstands." Jiao Gu snorted coldly and asked:

"Who is the richest in these streets?"

"This ......" Shen Ji thought for a while and said:

"The Mi family, the Zhang family, and ...... Fang Mansion. ”

"Master Jiao, when we do such things, we still have to avoid the surname Zhuang, this person is a little ...... Stubborn, if you find it, I'm afraid it will be a big deal. ”

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

"Shopkeeper Shen, you are too careful, you look at the appearance of Zhuang Yifang being high, but you are willing to deal with us?"

"Wherever we went, he had long since avoided it."

"People are sons of families, and the people who ask us for food are not on the same road."

"Yes."

Shen Ji bowed his head:

"It's that I'm thinking too much."

*

*

Modern society.

Hospital.

Fang Zheng came to the ward with a fruit basket in his hand, pushed open the door, and couldn't help but pause slightly when he saw the people inside.

Zhou Ping, the nominal senior brother of his family, and his daughter Zhou Qingqing are also there.

"You're here."

Guo naturally lay on the bed, smiling when he saw this:

"The company isn't busy today?"

"It's not a big deal, I'll come and see." Fang Zheng put down the fruit basket and asked:

"How is the master feeling these days?"

"Much better." Guo naturally motioned to Zhou Qingqing to shake up the hospital bed and said:

"I'm an old problem, just check it, there's no need to pack such an expensive ward in this kind of hospital, I heard that it costs tens of thousands a day?"

"Don't worry about money." Fang Zheng shook his head:

"Taking care of your body is the right thing to do."

"Ahem......" Zhou Ping coughed dryly:

"Wait for you to send me the bill, I am also the master's apprentice, wait for how much money is used to divide it equally."

"Hey." Guo naturally stretched out his hand and pressed it virtually:

"How much money do you earn a month, you don't have to fight with Fang Zheng about this matter, I am also blessed to be old, there is such a rich apprentice."

"Heh......"

"It's still a good place to recuperate!"

As he spoke, he stretched comfortably.

"That's right." Fang front expressionless opening:

"It's just a hundred thousand yuan, so Director Zhou doesn't have to be polite to me."

"It's senior brother, you are also the director of the Public Security Department, and your status is not low, how can you arrange a special care ward for the master and not do such a trivial thing?"

Zhou Ping opened his mouth, his ten fingers clenched, and he was speechless.

"My father is innocent, so naturally he can't compare to some people who will specialize." Zhou Qingqing's voice was not angry, and when he saw Fang Zheng looking at it sideways, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly picked up the peeled apple and put it on Guo Tiantian's mouth, and said flatteringly:

"Master, eat fruit."

"Haha......" Guo naturally smiled:

"Okay, okay."

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

"Founder." Guo naturally looked sideways and persuaded:

"Don't talk to your senior brother, he is just stubborn, since you know his character, let everything go."

"Master." Fang Zheng sighed lightly:

"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 to talk about going together.

Guo naturally chuckled.

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

The contradictions of young people,

It's up to them to solve it.

Both of them are good children, Guo is naturally confident that he is not wrong, but he will take different paths, and it is inevitable that there will be some bumps.

"Master, have a good rest."

After chatting for a while, Fang Zheng got up:

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

"Okay."

Guo naturally nodded.

…………

"Mr. Fang."

Dr. Wang is the chief physician of this private hospital, and he has all kinds of lofty honors and blessings, but now he is doing small things to check his body.

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

"Another ......"

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

"Hmm."

Fang Zheng nodded:

"It's troublesome for Dr. Wang about regular check-ups, if it's convenient, let the hospital drive to pick me up at that time, and it's best to do the check-up at home if you can."

"Yes."

Dr. Wang nodded:

"For the elderly, it's naturally best not to be running around."

"That's right." Founder Road:

"What I said a few days ago, has Dr. Wang gained anything?"

"Truth elixir?" Doctor Wang raised his head, his eyes flashed, and Fang said in a low voice:

"Some drugs in anesthesiology can indeed quickly put people into a special state of consciousness, but they cannot achieve the effect of the rumored elixir."

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

"In the past, some foreign departments used several of these drugs as real agents, but when asked, they may not be true."

"No problem." Fang Zheng chuckled:

"Give me a few first."

Putting people in a special state of consciousness?

Enough is enough!
