Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 20
Whoa!
A pot of hot water poured over his head, burning his skin a little red.

Leaving Jade Workshop, Wei Tao still didn't go to the martial arts gym, but bought new clothes, walked around the street and went to the bathhouse.

Recently, Master Zhou was not around, and the disciples in the inner court suddenly lost a lot of restraint and had a lot of free time.

As for the registered disciples of the outer court, anyway, they just pay money to study, if no one can pay the money, it can still save a lot of resources for the martial arts school.

There were not many people in the bathhouse in the morning, and he occupied a corner alone, soaking in the big pool to rest.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to deal with the pressing pressure of the Silver Wolf Gang.

The appearance of the members of the Silver Wolf Gang, and what Ying Xue said before the woman died, all showed that this incident was inseparable from the Wang siblings.

Then, how to break the situation, or at least how to ensure the safety of yourself and your family, has become an urgent problem to be solved.

Not long after, a tall middle-aged man came in from outside.

He looked around and sat down a few meters away from Wei Tao.

"Mr. Wei sent a message. I didn't dare to delay for a moment. I rushed over." The middle-aged man soaked a towel in hot water, put it on his body, and let out a sigh of relief.

Wei Tao was not polite, and said straight to the point, "Shi Huishou, I have two things, and I need your help."

"Young Master Wei, please tell me." Seeing Wei Tao's serious tone, the middle-aged man immediately became serious.

"the first thing."

Wei Tao raised a finger, "I want you to send a few brothers who are good at skills and clever people to guard around the Jade Workshop secretly."

After a pause, he continued, "If you find someone from the Silver Wolf Gang causing trouble here, don't be afraid, just fuck them."

"Silver Wolf Gang..." Shi Huishou repeated silently, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

After a moment of silence, he didn't ask any more questions, but nodded heavily, "Okay! Since Mr. Wei said so, we will do it!"

Wei Tao raised his second finger, "Second thing, I need to collect detailed information on all the senior members of the Silver Wolf Gang."

Although soaked in hot water, the middle-aged man's body trembled slightly, and after a long time of contemplation, he slowly said, "What do you mean, sir?"

Wei Tao did not respond directly, but changed the subject, "Shi Huishou established the Qinghe Association and set up a flag in the outer city. It has developed so far but is struggling to survive in the cracks. Don't you want to move forward? take the next step?"

The man sighed, "Young Master Wei should know that the current pillar of the Silver Wolf Gang is actually your senior sister... She is also a warrior who can be ranked among the top three in the entire Red Line Martial Arts Gym."

Faced with the doubts and worries of the middle-aged man, Wei Tao just shook his head, "Hello everyone is really nice, but if anyone insists on making me feel bad, then don't let it go."

"It's like the old saying, people don't attack me, I don't attack others, if people attack me, cut the grass and root out."

"Facing the Silver Wolf Gang, our Qinghe Society lacks good players after all, and there is a lot of pressure." Shi Huishou took off the hot towel on his face, his face hidden under the steaming mist was extremely heavy.

"Heh..." Wei Tao smiled nonchalantly, "I am the one who wants to collect information from the top level of the Silver Wolf Gang, so if we are confronting the Silver Wolf Gang head-on, is the leader more pressured than me?"

Having said that, he slowly sat up straight and stared into the other person's eyes.

"Of course, if Huishou Shi feels inappropriate,
Now you can put on your clothes and go,
Then no matter if you go home and shiver under the quilt,

Or go to Wang Yingxue to inform her,
I will not do any blocking. "

Shi Huishou clenched the towel tightly, squeezed out all the hot water inside, gritted his teeth suddenly and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Wei said so, what do we untouchables who come from coolies have to be afraid of?

If you win, you will be flat, even if you lose, you will die. "

"Shi Huishou, your words are unlucky, I don't like to hear them, remember not to say them in the future." Wei Tao narrowed his eyes again, and lay back in the pool water.

"Yes, yes, the young master's lesson is that I will go back to collect information and plan preparations."

"Don't be too anxious, so as not to expose the flaws." Wei Tao raised his hand, telling him to be calm, "After all, Senior Sister Wang is powerful, and I need two or three months to prepare."

"Understood, what else do you want us to do?"

Wei Tao closed his eyes, his voice was low as if he was talking in his sleep.

"For their core members, intelligence gathering must be covert and detailed.

Just like my senior sister, whenever possible, what she likes to eat, drink, and go to;
When to go to bed, when to get up, when to shit, when menstruation, it is best to check clearly. "

"Don't worry, my lord. Although our people's overall strength is not strong, they do coolie odd jobs all over the streets and alleys. We must inquire about the information in detail according to your request!"

After making the decision, the middle-aged man suddenly fell into a state of inexplicable excitement, immediately picked up his clothes and turned to leave.

For a whole morning, Wei Tao soaked in the pool, reminiscing about the battle last night.

Sure enough, as the fifth senior brother Peng Yue said, only fighting, especially the fighting between life and death, can stimulate the potential of warriors the most, and it is of great help to practice.

And compared to those beasts with no IQ, warriors who are also humans are more targeted.

After the battle with that woman, Wei Tao felt that his understanding of the red line boxing had indeed taken a big step forward.

But the struggle of life and death is like walking a tightrope,
A bad one will fall from the sky,

smashed to pieces,
There is no longer any chance of survival.

Wei Tao restrained his thoughts and turned to other aspects.

In addition to the threat of the Silver Wolf Gang,

And the murder that happened in the alley last night,

It also brought him a lot of vigilance.

This kind of evil and weird guy is definitely more terrifying than the Silver Wolf Gang, and it is also more difficult to deal with.

With the influx of disaster victims from Mozhou, the outer city became more and more chaotic.

Especially in the fringe area where he lives now, there is really no government to take care of how many people died.

It was like a filthy quagmire, devouring hope and life bit by bit.

Maybe it's time for a new place to live.

At least it must be closer to the inner city, so as to get more guarantees in terms of safety.

Wei Tao began to calculate his own money.

As the saying goes, a horse does not have night grass without fat, and a man does not have windfall without wealth.

Touched five corpses last night, although the men couldn't get out a few taels of silver from the beginning to the end,

But that woman was quite wealthy, and in a poop-dyed purse, two bank notes from Chase Bank were found.

Coupled with some scattered silver coins, the value is at least more than 150 taels.

With so much money in hand, Wei Tao began to think about buying a new house.

And it intensified until it occupied almost all of my mind.

........................

The outer city of Cangyuan, a wealthy area close to the inner city.

Wei Tao followed behind a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper, and came to a courtyard with a closed gate.

"Master Qu lived here before. They moved their family to the Central Plains a few years ago, so they left this house and sold it to Xingsheng Dental Shop."

While talking, the man took out the key and opened the crimson door that had faded paint.

There was a soft creak, and the heavy wooden door opened in response.

Beyond the stone screen inside the door, the courtyard inside is about a hundred square meters. In addition to the main hall and the main house, there are two rows of east and west wing rooms.

In addition to the kitchen, bathroom, warehouse, woodshed and other buildings, the entire area is at least several times larger than the small courtyard where he lived before.

Two rows of medium-height trees grow lushly and provide plenty of shade on hot afternoons.

"My lord, what do you think of this courtyard?"

"It looks good, shopkeeper Qi, how much does this house cost?"

"The price is 90 taels of silver. If you decide it directly, I can make a discount for you, and you can get it at 85 taels."

I thought how much such a large yard would cost, but I didn’t expect it to be only 85 taels.

Wei Tao thought in his heart, but on the surface he showed some embarrassment. After a long silence, he said, "Can it be cheaper?"

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to lower the price, it's because I've lost 85 taels."

Shopkeeper Qi was heartbroken and sighed again and again.

"The bank used 80 taels of silver to take over the yard last year, plus the cost of repair and maintenance, it has already exceeded this amount.

That is to say, this year's market is not good, and the owner of the bank in the inner city is anxious to collect money and return blood, so the price has been suppressed to such an extent. "

"And the furniture here is complete. Although it is a bit old, it is absolutely no problem to pick it up and use it again, and it also saves the cost of repurchasing it again."

Wei Tao nodded absent-mindedly, looked around the rooms, and then turned and walked outside.

When he got out of the gate, he looked back at the fairly clean and tidy courtyard, showing a slightly embarrassed expression.

"It can't be any cheaper?
I don't have enough money on hand, so I have to raise funds.

In this way, even if you buy a house,
The poor are left with only this house,

And owe others a lot of money. "

Shopkeeper Qi also smiled wryly, "Master, you don't know something. If you're buying your own house, it's okay to grit your teeth and make friends with you.
But this is the reserve price set by the big boss inside, and I don't dare to make decisions randomly. "

"It's really not good. I'll show you other houses. Although the location is not as good as this one, it's not bad."

At this moment, a group of sergeants in leather armor with swords and shields walked across the stone road not far away.

Wei Tao paused, "Master Qi, is that a patrolling sergeant?"

"Yes, this is a serious city defense army. If it weren't for the good location, the safety alone would be worth at least 20 taels of silver."

Wei Tao took a deep breath, then slapped his thigh suddenly, "difficult" made up his mind, "85 taels is 85 taels, I bought this yard!"

"My lord is wise, this house is absolutely worth the money, I'm satisfied to live in it and take care of it."

Shopkeeper Qi was overjoyed, he smiled so much that flowers could pile up on his face.
