Chu Liang looked at Lin Bei.
Lin Bei looked at Chu Liang.
It lasted for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Lin Bei then scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Yes, I mainly have to find out about the mystery."
Okay.
It's hard for you to remember.
Chu Liang complained in his heart.
Just listen to Lin Bei say: "There are indeed many rumors about the haunting of Nanshan Academy. It is said that at the beginning, it was a girl named Situ Yan who drowned herself in the back mountain lake because she was bullied in the school. ”
"Situ Yan..." Chu Liang muttered the name.
"Then seven days later, there were two more corpses of students in Houshan Lake. Their death conditions were extremely miserable and horrific." Lin Beidao said, "Now there are rumors in the school that it is Situ Yan's ghost who turned into a wraith. To take revenge on the classmates who bullied her before."
"If it's a resentful spirit that's causing trouble, then it's not difficult to deal with it." Chu Liang nodded, "But why is Li Jue so scared? Has he bullied Situ Yan before?"
He always felt that the behavior of Li Jue and his son was a little abnormal.
"Looking at his boring look, he can still bully others?" Lin Bei curled his lips, "It's okay for him to be bullied, right?"
Before the two of them finished speaking, they saw Li Jue not far ahead being blocked in a corner.
Those who blocked him happened to be the young man named Yan Xiaohu and his two book boys.
They are called Shutong, but they are actually two big men with a height of eight feet and a strong back. They are more like thugs, with a sinister face and a fierce look.
Li Jue was pushed to the corner by them, and without saying much, he took out a silver ingot from his pocket, which seemed to be quite heavy. Yan Xiaohu weighed it in his hand, then smiled and led his two men away.
It seemed to confirm what Lin Bei said.
"Go over and help?" Lin Bei wanted to get up and go over to stop him.
"No need." Chu Liang shook his head slightly and sat there eating by himself.
"Doesn't this matter?" Lin Bei said angrily.
"Looking at the skillful way Li Jue paid, it's probably not the first day he was bullied." Chu Liang said: "If we rush to help now, we may expose our relationship with him. In addition... we don't know much about Yan Xiaohu. It’s not much, let’s not add extraneous matters first so as not to delay the main business.”
"Okay." Lin Bei turned back: "Don't mess with these people...otherwise..."
Snapped.
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the back of the head, and then several dark figures surrounded him.
It was Yan Xiaohu and the two brawny book boys.
"New here." The muscular young man patted Chu Liang on the shoulder, "It's your first day here. Don't you understand the rules of Nanshan Academy?"
"What rules?" Chu Liang asked.
"If you want to be safe here, you have to pay a monthly fee of five taels of silver, and my young master will be responsible for protecting you." A strong man behind said.
"Fifty taels of silver?" Lin Bei raised his head, "You might as well go and grab it!"
Although they don't use much gold and silver to practice in Xianmen, they also know that five taels of silver is enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for several months, which is by no means a small amount.
Even if Nanshan Academy is full of young men and young ladies from wealthy families, it is true that some lions are talking loudly.
"Aren't you convinced?" Another strong man patted him on the back of the head.
"I threw thunder..." Lin Bei immediately wanted to get angry.
"Hey -" Chu Liang hurriedly raised his hand to steady him, then smiled and took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to Yan Xiaohu, "Since it is a rule, it must be followed. I will pay for two months first. , please take care of Brother Xiaohu in the future."
"Oh, you are quite sensible." Yan Xiaohu chuckled, took the silver, and said kindly: "Don't worry, you will be my brother in Nanshan Academy from now on. Mention my name, Yan Xiaohu, and I guarantee that you will walk sideways."
"Brother Xiaohu is domineering." Chu Liang complimented, and then asked: "I wonder if Brother Xiaohu can still protect him after leaving Nanshan Academy in Yanjiao City?"
"Don't worry about this..." The strong man behind said again: "My young master is the young master of the Black Tiger Gang. You can go and find out. Our Black Tiger Gang is the headquarters of the Whale Gang. Do you understand? Befriend my young master. Now, the whole Yanjiao City will be yours to run amok."
"It turns out to be the young master of the Black Tiger Gang. I'm disrespectful." Chu Liang looked like he had admired his name for a long time.
With a few words, Yan Xiaohu was happily coaxed away.
After they left, Lin Bei rubbed the back of his head and said gloomily: "Although these people have martial arts cultivation, they are at the level of body training at most. I took care of them in a few seconds, why don't you let me do it?" ?”
"The situation is unclear, so don't cause trouble first. The Black Tiger Gang looks like a local snake. If we really provoke people from the Whale Gang, the mission will be difficult." Chu Liang advised: "It's better to find out the details first. Do it again.”
"Well, I haven't received the reward for this mission yet, so I lost ten taels of silver..." Lin Bei was still a little distressed.
"Just ask Mr. Li for reimbursement later." Chu Liang chuckled.
The Whale Gang, also known as the Four Seas Whale Gang, is one of the Ten Lands, and is the only force among the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands that is a gang rather than a sect. However, it can be ranked alongside all the immortal sects. Its strength can be imagined.
The gangs under his command are spread all over the world, numbering hundreds of thousands of people, and they dominate many businesses such as water transportation, docks, etc. It can be described as a behemoth.
If the Black Tiger Gang is really related to the Whale Gang, it is no wonder that Yan Xiaohu is so arrogant.
but.
After returning to the classroom, he still leaned over and asked Li Jue, "Are you okay? Yan Xiaohu, do you need our help?"
"No need." Li Jue shook his head gently and whispered: "I have already gotten used to it, and...he won't live long anyway."
Chu Liang was about to turn around when he suddenly heard him add something. He was a little surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
"No..." Li Jue quickly shook his head and became silent again.
But Chu Liang added a little more doubt.
The afternoon was uneventful again.
When school was over, the two of them followed Li Jue from a distance, walking down the mountain towards Yanjiao City.
Lin Bei reported the investigation situation to Chu Liang, "The Black Tiger Gang said it was under the Whale Gang, but it was actually just a name. They probably wanted to gain some connections. I have never seen the Whale Gang involved in their affairs."
"It is indeed a big gang in Yanjiao City. There are dozens of martial arts cultivators in the gang, but most of them are in the first realm. There are a few hall leaders in the second realm. Only the gang leader is a warrior in the third realm."
Chu Liang nodded lightly.
In a place like Yanjiao City, such a force is indeed powerful enough to dominate.
After all, the inherent power is different from the hired thugs. Mr. Li can spend a lot of money to hire a cultivator of the divine realm for a few days, but he cannot afford to keep him at home for a long time. Moreover, the Shushan disciples must be chivalrous and righteous when they take action. They are usually only responsible for solving things involving monsters and monsters, and cannot help him with anything else.
If a gang can maintain dozens of martial arts practitioners who can fight wherever they want for a long time, and there are masters from the third level to take charge, it is indeed not weak.
But that's all.
After he knew what was going on, he looked around and quickly found Yan Xiaohu who had just left the academy.
"Brother Xiao Hu." Chu Liang took Lin Bei and greeted him with a smile.
"Xiao Chu, what's wrong?" Yan Xiaohu now feels that Chu Liang is a smart man and can be admired as a younger brother.
"Didn't you ask me to inquire about the Black Tiger Gang earlier? I went to inquire." Chu Liang said with a smile.
"Huh? So what are you going to do now?" Yan Xiaohu thought his smile was a little weird.
Hear Chu Liang say: "So I want to get the money back now."
