Shifang Wusheng

Let go of the man, he didn't go in, but turned around and rushed towards the next place.

Every day, Wei Ying would first come here to buy vegetables, then go to the oil shop to get oil, and occasionally go to the cloth shop for a walk, and finally go home and start filtering water, cooking, washing clothes and cleaning.

Wei He walked along the street, left the vegetable market, and soon arrived at the oil shop.

There were only two oil shops, and there were many people queuing at the door, and the shop only opened a small door less than one meter wide, which could only allow one person to enter and exit.

People who buy oil here are much better dressed and energetic than those at the vegetable market just now.

There are also a lot fewer patches on people's clothes.

Wei He turned around, and wherever he went, people there all lowered their heads and dared not look at him.

It is true that he is 1.8 meters five, muscular all over, and killed many people and prey.

So others dare not even look at him a few more times.

Wei He turned around and walked towards the location of the cloth shop.

Leaving the short street where the oil shop is located, the houses on both sides of the road gradually cleaned up.

Apparently it was cleaned frequently.

Occasionally, some burnt incense heads can be seen on the side of the road, stuck in the soil.

Some of the doors were pasted with pictures of new door gods and generals, and some people even posted couplets written by themselves.

From the oil shop to the cloth shop, the street is not long, but there are quite a few shops in it.

This time is when the market is open, and all the shops are opening their doors one after another.

It was the first time Wei He saw such a lively scene.At this time, he usually practiced hard in the Huishan boxing academy, so how could he see such a lively scene.

The last time I saw this lively scene was before practicing martial arts.

Under the current novelty, Wei He waited and looked around, looking at these shops that are still open.

Although I didn't count carefully, there are only a dozen or so shops open, but it seems that there are many.

But there were so many people who couldn't stand it.

When there are more people, it seems to be lively.From jewelry to bamboo weaving, to chairs to medicinal materials, to farm tools, etc., everything is available.

It's just that Wei He walked around and found that the shops here are all selling some sundries.

It seems to be something that was collected from various people at a low price.

Residual traces of life can be seen on many things.

His heart moved, and he turned around.

There are also people setting up street stalls next to the shop, and they seem to sell things from their own homes.

The stalls were spread out with large straw mats, and there were pots and pans, chairs, stools, pillows, quilts, combs, hairpins, etc. on them.

Wei He walked to a stall, stood still, squatted down, and gently picked up a small wine glass.

The wine glass was made of white porcelain and looked very clean, with a stalk of red plum painted on the outside.

"A set of twelve wine glasses, take away a catty of miscellaneous grains and noodles." The stall owner said weakly.

Wei He put down his wine glass and scanned the stalls.

Soon, he focused on a mess of books.

The booklet seemed to have been gnawed by rats or something, which was very ugly.

He picked up a book and flipped through it. It was full of textbooks on the rules and regulations for recruiting the champion of martial arts.

"These books are my father's collection. There are fifteen books in a pile. Although they are missing, what about your ten catties of miscellaneous grain noodles?" The stall owner seemed to feel hopeful when he saw Wei He touch the book.

His most valuable items on this stall are these books.If it wasn't really helpless, he didn't want to sell it at all.

But now the wife and children at home are still waiting for the rice to go into the pot, and then hide and twist it. I am afraid that when someone starves to death, these things will belong to others.

Wei He flipped through the book. Although there was no teaching on martial arts techniques and moves in this book, it mentioned some related knowledge to some extent.

He also bargained with him, and exchanged the four small jerky he carried with him for such a bag of books.

Four pieces of jerky are his daily rations to supplement his nutrition.Not a staple.Not even half a catty.

After all, the world is difficult, so he has to save some food.But even so, the stall owner was quite satisfied.

Take these dried and hard jerky back, cut a little bit at a time with a knife and mix it into the porridge, which can last for a long time.

Eating miscellaneous grains alone is not enough to satisfy hunger.

Chapter 48

Holding the book, Wei He continued to walk towards the cloth shop. After a while, he saw a wine shop by the side of the road.

However, there was no smell of alcohol at the entrance of the winery.Instead, it tasted like big tea.

Even at this time of year, the wine shop was full of bragging and talking.

Wei He paused, walked over and lifted the curtain, and entered the winery.

There were a dozen or so people sitting sparsely in the workshop, and most of them were fairly neatly dressed.

People who can maintain a decent face in this world and come to drink tea are mostly people with some family background.

In the corner beside the wall, three thin and unkempt people were squatting. A wooden sign was placed in front of the three of them, each of which read obliquely: Selling one's body to bury one's father, selling one's body to bury one's mother, selling one's body to bury one's brother.

The three of them lined up in a row, extremely desolate, but Wei He didn't know why, and was speechless.

He took the book and walked to an empty table and sat down.

Immediately, a girl came forward and poured water for him.And be careful about the price.

Different teas have different prices, here we don't trade miscellaneous grains and noodles, but receive relief cards from the Tongcheng Gang.

"Tongcheng Gang Relief Card?" Wei He was surprised, "What is that?"

"The guest officer didn't know that this old man, the leader of the Tongcheng Gang, sympathized with the hard life of the big guy, so he distributed batches of relief.

This relief card is used to receive relief food.A relief card can be exchanged for a certain amount of miscellaneous grain noodles. "

The girl explained skillfully, and it seemed that she didn't know how many times she said it.

Relief card?

The Tongcheng Gang, one of the three gangs and the second faction, would be so kind?

Wei He doesn't believe it, there is nothing good without a reason in this world.There must be a conspiracy behind it.

"If the customer doesn't have a relief card, he can also pay with the inner city gold beans." The girl reminded.

There is a combination of golden beans and Weihe.

He has killed a lot of bandits recently, and the most money bag he has stolen is this kind of golden beans, which are actually just copper horns mixed with gold.

Ten of these things can be exchanged for one gold leaf, and ten gold leaves can be exchanged for one tael of gold. It is the simplest currency in circulation in the inner city.

The inner city's ability to maintain stable prices today is also due to the stability of the Qijiameng.

I just don't know how long the seven alliances can last.

Wei He sighed deeply, ordered a pot of buckwheat tea, put it on the table, and drank it quietly. As for the price, it was a golden bean, which was more than enough.

The store gave him an extra plate of peanuts.

The peanuts smelled a bit musty, but the pot of buckwheat tea was full of buckwheat and miscellaneous grains, and it could be eaten as a meal after drinking the water.

Sitting down with peace of mind, Wei He intends to listen carefully to the current situation in the city. Places such as wineries and teahouses are good places for chatting and bragging, and they are naturally gathering places for news circulation.

Generally, people who can come to this kind of place are casual people who don't have to worry about food and drink, and have nothing to do.This kind of people often spend a lot of time wasting, and since the family has no worries about food and clothing, it is naturally not an ordinary family, and they all have a certain family background.

Coming in this way, the news is naturally well-informed.

Once these people have something interesting and strange, they often come here to spread the word and share it with their friends, so as to become the focus of everyone's attention here, and gain vanity and satisfaction in status.

And the gathering of these people has further attracted people who do their business.Such as storytellers, rivers and lakes singers, music sellers, etc.

There are more ways of entertainment, which further attracts more popularity.

And these storytellers and the like, because they have traveled far and wide, can further bring more news and information that may be true or false.

Wei He wanted this kind of channel.Anyway, now that he is Empress Stone, without Master Zheng's supervision and supervision, he has a lot of free time.It is also necessary to spend a day investigating the situation.

……

……

……

Yonghe Escort.

Some bleak flagstone square.

Several big escorts and the main men of the Cheng family were all present.There are also quite a few bodyguards who also came from the sub-bureaus of various towns.

Dozens of nearly a hundred people gathered together, all of them were heads, all of them came to wait for news.

Cheng Shaojiu also stood at the forefront of Cheng's men, quietly waiting for the news.

Waiting for news from Chief Escort Cheng Zhengxing.

Not long after, Cheng Zhengxing came in from outside the square together with several bodyguards.

His face was stiff, without saying a word, he walked all the way to the highest wooden speech platform.

The bodyguards around him automatically made way for him.

Not long after, when Cheng Zhengxing walked up to Cheng Shaojiu, he paused, glanced at his nephew, and wanted to say something.

But still did not speak, but continued to walk towards the high platform.

on the high platform.

Soon Cheng Zhengxing walked up step by step, stood at the highest point, and looked down at everyone.

Everyone also focused on him.

The atmosphere that had been quiet just now was even quieter now, even a little scary.

Everyone held their breath slightly, waiting for the arrival of the final news.

Cheng Zhengxing looked around, he had spent decades working hard to create this huge bodyguard team.

And now...

He opened his mouth to speak.

But the sun was too hot, so hot that he was actually sweating.

He felt tightness in his chest. He took several deep breaths, but he couldn't relieve it. Instead, it became more and more stuffy.

Recently, he has been staying up all night and running around, just to maintain the vitality of the Escort.

And this last single dart is all the capital for him to stand up.

He pushed everything up.

but……

Cheng Zhengxing's heart was icy cold, it was obviously such a hot day.He was cold all over.

He shook hands hard, but there was no warmth in his palm.

"I……"

He finally opened his mouth.

Everyone stared at him.

Everyone is waiting for him.

Cheng Zhengxing opened his mouth again.

"I... let everyone..."

He suddenly felt dizzy before his eyes, and his ears were covered, as if blocked by something, and suddenly he couldn't hear anything.

The body involuntarily leaned back.

puff.
