"Some people say that Erjietang can bring mortals back to life. The rumors are somewhat exaggerated, but Erjietang did start to participate in things other than healing diseases before changing its name, such as providing shelter to specific people.

The world is in turmoil, cause and effect are entangled, and where there is shelter, there is harm. While saving people, they may also kill people.And everyone is mortal, no matter how much money and power they have, they can't escape sickness and accidents that may happen at any time, so an organization that is said to be miraculous is bound to become the object of competition and curry favor of the powerful, and the same is true for Erjietang.

By the time Emperor Xuantong ascended the throne, Erjietang was no longer a mere medical clinic, but an intelligence organization that gathered connections and secrets from all parties.He is not attached to anyone, and is independent from the imperial court, warlords, and revolutionary groups. He constantly masters new secrets while accepting entrustments, and gradually becomes the center of various intertwined forces.As many people seek it, as many people fear it.Some people who got asylum worried that it would be used by the enemy in the future, and if they failed to win over, they became murderous, but anyone who attacked Erjietang without exception had a bad end.

Erjietang can not only save people, but also has the ability to kill people at will.In addition, it has the power of the military behind it. "

"Didn't you say it doesn't depend on anyone?" Lian Renjun asked.

"Non-attachment does not mean non-cooperation. The idea that people from the military participated in Erjietang is not new in recent years. In the plague 100 years ago, desperate people pinned their hopes on ghosts and gods for survival, which led to the rise of cults and the destruction of their hearts. At that time, the governor of Liangjiang sent troops to suppress the cult, and protected Fu Zhongzhi, Nikaidang Anma and others until the plague subsided. It is not known whether Fu Zhongzhi himself had personal relations with the imperial court, but the beginning of the establishment of Nikaidang was indeed smooth, even during the war. It has never been attacked. After the Republic of China, the main hall of the Erjietang was moved to Tianjin. It is said that Weiju, who was then the guardian of Shanghai, was transferred to the staff of Zhili Province..."

"The Erjie Hall is in Tianjin?"

"That's right. The main hall of Erjietang is now in Tianjin, and there are six branch halls under it. The lower three halls go to see a doctor and ask for medicine, and the upper three halls go to buy information."

"What do you mean? They are still in the business of selling information?"

"The lower three halls don't collect money from the poor, and their funds come from the upper three halls. There has never been a mistake in the news about the Erjie hall, but the price is also extremely expensive. After paying the money, the deadline is three days. If you check within three days If there is no result, it will be entrusted to the upper-level branch hall, and then it will be concentrated in the main hall. The main hall will hold a four-element meeting every six months to solve the problems that cannot be solved by the previous three halls. In addition, it will accept some Special commissions, such as those mentioned just now, provide protection to specific people. As long as you are willing to pay enough money and do not violate their principles, Erjietang can do anything for you."

"Who is the hall master? A descendant of Fu Zhongzhi?"

"I don't know. The head of the Erjie Hall never shows up in front of people, and even the clients who participated in the Four Elephant Conference can only communicate with him through a third party, so no one knows his true identity so far. As for Fu Zhongzhi... Lord, I think he's more likely to be the first courier."

"By the way, you haven't told me what messenger and insider mean?"

"Those who have been in the Shangsantang and had contact with them will become insiders. In other words, as long as there is a transaction with the Erjietang, you must strictly abide by the rules there, unless you die. Five years ago, I was looking for Caiqing. It was at that time that I became an insider. After I became an insider, I realized that most of the people around me are like me... Everyone has news that they want to know urgently, and everyone has money. Those who go to protect, these people are connected with each other because of the existence of Erjietang, follow the same set of rules, and receive the same monitoring and protection.

Of course, not everyone becomes an insider because of their request to Erjietang.For example, Yun Lian, he only knew this by extorting confessions through torture and forcing those who knew the truth to tell the truth. Those two people died violently one after another because of breaking taboos, so he believed that Erjietang did have supernatural powers. "

"How did they kill people? Zhu Nanjiang said that he got into Baishu because of me. What is Baishu?"

"The hall master doesn't show his face easily, so naturally he won't do it himself. The person who kills should be the courier, or the person who gave the courier orders. I don't know how many couriers exist, but there is definitely more than one, because there are people who know I once saw two couriers appearing at the same time. It is impossible for the hall master to travel between Tianjin and Shanghai frequently, so there should be another person above the courier under the main hall, or another type of person. They call it for master."

"I know, that person's name is Mu Hua, I just met him."

"I don't know what his name is. I've never seen anyone other than Shangsantang. If Qiu Daoan told you that, then you're right."

Lu Chengzhang glanced at Lian Renjun thoughtfully, and continued, "The so-called master should be a role similar to the adjudicator, and the messenger is the executor. The adjudicator judges who should die and who should not die, and grants the executor The ability to kill and save people, because all messengers are just ordinary people before they become messengers. Of course, these are just my guesses... Sometimes I feel that he is the real master of Erjietang."

"You haven't told me what Baishu is."

"The white book is relative to the black book. When the master judges that a person deserves to die, usually because he has broken the rules of the Erjietang or is considered an unforgivable crime, his name will be recorded in the black book, and then in the Die at the right time and in the right way. The white book is equivalent to the order to avoid death. When you give convenience to Erjietang, or you have someone who the other party wants to save, your name will have a chance to appear on the white book .The content on the white book is offset against the black book, that is to say, as long as you enter the white book, you will not die even if you are recorded in the black book in the future. After the black and white offset, everything will start from scratch. Even so, no one can resist the temptation of Bai Shu, especially someone like Zhu Nanjiang who is so tyrannical that he is very likely to get a black book."

"No wonder Qiu Daoan said that no one can refuse the messenger's promise."

"He can also refuse Qiu Daoan's request. The courier will not force him to do anything outside the scope of power. But once he agrees to release him, he will die if he troubles you afterwards."

"Then I really have to thank Erjietang for saving my life."

"Erjietang rarely takes the initiative to save an outsider, and no one has ever made a request through channels other than Shangsantang and Zongtang." Lu Chengzhang suddenly put his hand on Lian Renjun's shoulder, his voice trembling, "You Did you go to see Mu Hua to ask him to save Yunlian? Did he agree to you? Why did he agree to you? What conditions did you agree to him?!"

"I……"

"Did you... sell yourself to him?"
