Hei Pi had nightmares for several days after he woke up that night. Every time, he had nightmares about Tang Yu, the evil ghost who came out of hell in the form of a ghost.
Heipi swore in his heart that he would never see Tang Qi again, but when his subordinates came to tell him that Tang Qi was a captain, Heipi forgot his oath.
If you want to get along well in the underworld, you must have connections with people in the government. Even if you are a bandit, it is true that you live a carefree life, but if you are really targeted by a thousand-householder, you will have a hard time.
Heipi thought to himself that he had not really offended Tang Qi, and that his acquaintance with him was also a chance. So he brought gifts and came to pay a visit to Lord Tang.
As for Hei Pi, Tang Qi frowned, but he couldn't help but admire his courage for coming here to build relationships. Among these people, only Hei Pi had truly seen Tang Qi's abilities, so naturally he was the most respectful to Tang Qi. After seeing Tang Qi, he immediately knelt down and said, "Sir, I deserved to die before. I offended your majesty. Please forgive me."
"Get up, and do less conscienceless things in the future. If you do bad things again and I catch you, I will never let you off easily. There are plenty of ways to get rich, so why do something that makes you feel guilty? As long as you change for the better, I will show you a way to get rich someday." Tang Lu would not frown at those who gave in to him, but instead gave them a few symbolic words to persuade them to mend their ways.
Tang Qi's words had a completely different meaning to Hei Pi. No matter how he listened to them, Hei Pi felt that this was Master Tang asking him to listen to him. As long as he listened to Master Tang, Master Tang would give him a way to make a fortune. So Hei Pi not only did not stand up, but instead kowtowed to Tang Qi happily and said, "Your Excellency is right. From now on, I will definitely reform myself, listen to your teachings, and never do such heartless things again."
Hei Pi felt that he had found a powerful figure. He stood up with a smile on his face and asked his men to present the gift. Tang Qi did not drive him away immediately, but asked him to stay and have a drink with everyone, which made Hei Pi smile even happier.
Tang Qi did not introduce Hei Pi to everyone, but Hei Pi was very capable and greeted everyone, which just took advantage of Tang Qi's intention. From Hei Pi's greetings to everyone, Tang Qi learned the names and identities of these people.
The person who took the silver note out to exchange it was a deputy captain named Zhang Niujiao. The others were captains and trial captains under Tang Qie, namely Xu Ren, Yueyang, Zhang Yiheng, Zhao Yapeng, Tang Chaosan, and Liu Yiming.
These people did not have a very good impression of Hei Pi, and they just exchanged pleasantries for a while for Tang Qi's sake. At this time, these people were more concerned about Tang Qi, wanting to know why Tang Qi was so generous today. But on weekdays, these people did not have much to say to Lord Tang, and were more afraid of Lord Tang. Now that they found that Lord Tang seemed a little unfamiliar, they didn't know what to say. The flattery and words of loyalty that they had originally prepared were too shocking because of the sudden generosity of Lord Tang, and they didn't know how to use them for a while.
The current Lord Tang has not only become more generous, but also calls them brothers affectionately. After being pulled into the house one by one by Lord Tang, they all felt flattered. This awkward moment did not last long. Qian Duoren, who went out to buy food and wine, and Zhang Niujiao, who went out to exchange silver bills, both came. After seeing the silver in their hands, those merchants and trial merchants looked at Tang Li with some displeasure. Everyone gathered around a table to drink. After three rounds of drinks, everyone started to talk more.
Tang Yu slowly got to know what kind of person the original Lord Tang was after listening to everyone's questions at the wine table. To describe him in one word, he was a vampire. It turned out that Lord Tang was not just a stingy person. He was an insatiable guy who would break people's bones and suck their marrow. His subordinates secretly called him the Vampire Thousand Household.
That Lord Tang was indeed young, only twenty years old. Two years ago, his entire family died in a plague, so he spent some money to take over his father's position as a captain. His father was already bad enough for taking advantage of the soldiers, but that Lord Tang was even more cruel. His father still knew to support twenty or so family members as personal soldiers, but he didn't support any of them. He was truly the kind of guy who valued money more than his life. Not only did he not care about other people's lives, he even seemed to not care about his own life.
After hearing the truth these people said after drinking, Tang Qi couldn't help but touch his face, thinking that no wonder this face looked so ferocious, it turned out that he was really a bad person, as the appearance reflects the heart.
Tang Qi has the true Qi of the Jade Book, so he won't get drunk even if he drinks a thousand cups. Looking at the people who were drunk by him, Tang Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that it will not be easy for him to be the Lord Tang in the future. How could he learn such a bone-sucking behavior?
It is not easy for a bad person to become a good person, and it is equally difficult for a good person to become a bad person. Fortunately, he is a good person in the eyes of Chen Yuxian and Yuan'er. Others are afraid of him, but these two girls are not afraid of him.
The next day, with the help of everyone, Tang Qi brought Chen Yuxian and Yuan'er to Weizhenso. The scene in front of him stunned Tang Qi. He never dreamed that there would be such a poor place in the prosperous Jiangnan area.

There were still about three thousand households in this thousand-household unit. Except for the households of the ten-year-old and trial ten-year-old households, all the other households, including the one in the small flag house, lived in thatched huts. The elderly and children were all skinny. The young adults were better, but they were also obviously malnourished, and most of them had pale faces.
When they saw Tang Lu coming, everyone's eyes showed hatred and fear. When Tang Lu approached a child and wanted to show his affection, the child was so scared that he started crying. The adult next to him quickly hugged the child in his arms, but he was also shaking with fear, as if Tang Lu was a man-eating demon.
The original Lord Tang was indeed a devil who ate people without leaving any bones. Under his leadership in the past two years, the people in this Qianhu Suo could be said to have no chance of survival. Many people fled to other places to make a living, and most of those left here were the elderly and children.
Tang Qi retracted his steps awkwardly. The scene before him made him feel sad and angry, but no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do, because he was now that Lord Tang. The blood debt owed by Lord Tang could only be repaid by him, Tang Qi. It was Tang Qi who had the bad luck to be possessed by this vampire.
Tang Qi took out a few large silver notes from his pocket, totaling one thousand and one hundred taels, and waved to the deputy captain Zhang Niujiao, saying, "Come here, take a few people with you and help me exchange these silver notes for loose change. I can use them."
After Tang Qi handed a 1,000-liang silver note to Zhang Niu Jiao, he handed a 100-liang silver note to Xu Ren and Yue Yang, saying, "Go buy me 100-liang worth of food. If you don't have enough people, call a few more to help. Go quickly."
Zhang Niujiao, Xu Ren, and the others glanced at Tang Qi with strange expressions, but without saying anything, they each took their banknotes and left. Tang Qi turned to the people who were looking at him with fear and said, "Listen up, everyone! Adults and children, men and women, gather on the playground. Zhang Yiheng, you take a few people to notify every household. Don't make any mistakes. If anyone is missing, I will hold you accountable. Do you understand?"
Zhang Yiheng responded and left with a few people. When everyone heard Tang Qi's order, they were suddenly in an uproar, thinking that Lord Tang had come up with some vicious plan to harm everyone. However, Lord Tang's ferocious image was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and no one dared to resist Tang Qi's order. They gathered one by one on the training ground.
Under the guidance of Liu Yiming, Tang Yu carried Yuan'er to the home of the Qianhu Suo. This home was the best house in Weizhen Suo, covering a large area, with a big yard and more than a dozen bungalows. Although it was a bit old, it was still very grand.
The gate of the yard was locked. Tang Qi didn't have the key on him, and he didn't know when the key was lost. Tang Qi had no choice but to break the lock with his hands and pushed open the gate to go in. When Liu Yiming saw Tang Qi break the lock casually, his eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly, and there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Entering the yard, there were more than a dozen peach trees planted in the yard, and there were many peaches on the trees. The whole environment was still very good. Tang Yu directly carried Yuan'er to the house.
Tang Qi broke the lock on the door and slowly pushed it open. The scene inside surprised Tang Qi.
