The river bank, Caishiji, the nameless earth temple.
A fisherman in coir raincoat walked into the temple. In the blink of an eye, the idol turned and his figure disappeared. Only the salty river breeze was still passing through the ruined temple, causing the temple door to open. Hehe.
In the underground hall, three mafia gangsters were guarding each other, each with his eyes bright and thoughtful. There was a sound of a secret door. The white tiger who was dressed as a fisherman just now changed into a black robe, and the white tiger mask was worn on his head. With his face on his face, Xuanwu sat down on Dongfang's own seat, and Xuanwu looked at him coldly: "Master Baihu, can you tell me when will you not be late?"
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "It's not like I was late on purpose. I got stuck on the way when I came. It's good to be here this time. Let's do this. In the future, if I don't arrive after more than two hours, you can have a meeting by yourself, or It’s dissolution.”
Suzaku said angrily: "Then we might as well find someone else to be the white tiger. I think Tao Yuanming is very suitable."
Bai Hu laughed loudly: "What's better, if Mr. Tao comes, Lord Zhuque will have a companion. Don't worry, he will definitely use all his conspiracies and tricks, use his pen as a spear, ink as a spear, and his articles as a throwing spear. Use his poetry as a dagger to fight against those stinky soldiers who want to overthrow the family!"
Suzaku gritted his teeth: "One day, you will die from your broken mouth!"
Qinglong smiled slightly: "Okay, Mr. Baihu, no more joking, we know that your time is tight, so let's talk about it. As soon as Liu Yi came back, he and Liu Yu started to fight, and it seemed that they were fighting against each other. What do you think about your general and your wife?"
Bai Hu sighed: "I didn't expect that Liu Yu would not give in at all this time. In fact, Liu Daolian went out to Pengcheng and searched for treasures all day long when he was not doing business. He has caused a lot of criticism. Now he uses his own People’s eating looks are too ugly, so it’s no wonder Liu Yi reacted like this this time.”
Xuanwu curled his lips and said, "Is there any way you can get Liu Yu to give in, for example, let Pengcheng's internal history be filled by someone acceptable to both parties, whether it must be Xiang Jing or Sun Chu, an old general of Beifu. "
Bai Hu shook his head: "It's too late. After the two sides had a quarrel, both civil and military guards were attacked. Liu Yi directly used the female history admonishment chart to force Queen Wang to hand over the jade seal. Madam Xie claimed that she was ill and could not come out. The next step is probably to go to court. In the middle of the attack on Wang Mi, Liu Yu also urgently transferred Liu Muzhi back from Jiangbei. I am afraid that he wanted to drive away Liu Yi as soon as possible in the name of conferring titles and awards to the heroes who had contributed to Jianyi. All we can do now is to watch them. Why are they fighting during this time? Any attempt to mediate their fight may be seen as Liu Tingyun's behind the scenes."
Having said this, Bai Hu looked at Suzaku: "Sir Suzaku, last time I asked you to investigate the Five Stone Powder transaction in Beijing, how did the investigation go?"
Suzaku nodded: "I have used all my strength to investigate this matter in the past few months, but the amazing thing is that when the young masters from various aristocratic families went to buy it, they never saw the seller."
Bai Hu was surprised: "What, you haven't even seen the person selling things?"
Suzaku nodded: "Yes, the powder of the disciples of the aristocratic family has been passed down from generation to generation. They often hang out together. When having fun, they will introduce the powder to their companions, smoke the powder, and then mix it with fine wine and some stunning beauties. I will never forget that feeling. I checked at least 60 children from aristocratic families, and they took it for the first time in more than 20 places, including restaurants, brothels, racecourses, and even in Pengcheng. I also had the experience of being taken away from the theater for the first time."
Bai Hu gritted his teeth: "How come there is such a thing even on the stage?"
Xuanwu sighed: "The theater used to be a casino, where gladiators fought to the death, and young men from aristocratic families placed bets. You have seen it, even cowardly young men and even women. There will be so much craziness in such an occasion. After the excitement of great joy and great sorrow, people who have won a lot of money need to indulge, and people who have lost a lot of money also need to vent. After all, the most people are convinced in this place. This time Suzaku found out that there were dozens of people who had taken Five Stone Powder here for the first time."
Qinglong nodded: "So, the Diao family used to be in charge of the management of this theater, is it the Diao family that did this?"
Suzaku shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. When the theater was first built, forty or fifty high-end boxes were reserved specifically for such frivolous things. These boxes are just like those in those sensual places in the capital. Even the Diao family didn't know the origin of the private room. They only knew that it was ordered by Sima Daozi before. Now both Sima Daozi and the Diao family are dead. In these places, since Liu Yu defeated Xi Chao, It’s closed and the root cause can never be traced.”
Bai Hu said in a deep voice: "It's the first time I've been to these places. What about future transactions? It's impossible for me to go to the stage again."
Zhuque said seriously, taking out a small piece of paper from his arms, which read: "March, Gengwu, Tongqing Building, second floor, Room B. I understand what you need and give you what you want."
Bai Hu sighed: "Do you mean, every time after having fun, these notes will be left to inform these children of the aristocratic family where they will go next time?"
Suzaku nodded: "Yes, if the game is interrupted for some reason, you also know that people will suffer great pain. The first few times are just to have more fun for themselves, but later on, it becomes more and more painful." It is inseparable from this thing, and there are hundreds of kinds of medicines in Wushi Powder. You can mix them arbitrarily and increase or decrease the weight to make different powders. Everyone takes different medicines. It can be said that controlling the powder is equal to It pinches the lives of the children of these aristocratic families and makes them have no choice but to obey."
Bai Hu frowned: "This person who controls the dispersion has big plans. He can control all the children of the aristocratic family in this way. It's terrible."
Xuanwu curled his lips: "It's not impossible to quit taking the powder, but firstly, you can't take too much, and the powder will penetrate into your bones. Secondly, you need to know some of the formulas, and at least do some corresponding medication. Thirdly, It all depends on one's strong perseverance. No matter how comfortable it is to quit smoking in the first place, it will take ten times more pain to quit. Lord Suzaku, you should know this best."
A combination of fear and pain flashed in Zhuque's eyes: "Until now, I still wake up from my dreams with the painful feeling from time to time. This time, thousands of children from aristocratic families went to Liu Yu for military training, but more than half of them , he quit after not being able to persist for three days. Liu Yi's solicitation was on the one hand, but these people were already taking the medicine and could hardly walk without these medicines. This was the fundamental reason. Some people still relied on this kind of medicine. High-intensity physical training can help you quit this habit, but you give up soon."
