Chapter 115: The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are all here

There were four or five people standing in the guest room in the small courtyard, crowding the already small room so tightly that not even sunlight could get in, yet the atmosphere in the room was solemn and dignified.

"Heart-confusing grass?"

Xia Tianwu almost slammed the table in anger, his eyes full of hatred, "This Yin Zhong actually secretly put the Heart-Losing Grass in these things to make a profit? Only for the nobles and wealthy merchants, didn't anyone see it?"

The three sects, six schools and ten schools in Zhongzhou had drawn up a set of common laws for Zhongzhou many years ago. Each city, sect and family established its own set of laws. No matter what the rules of each family were, the laws of Zhongzhou must be followed.

One of the regulations is that the sale of the Heart-Loving Grass is prohibited in Zhongzhou.

Initially, the Heart-Loving Grass was considered a medicinal herb. Gradually, people discovered that it could make people feel ecstatic and happy, and that it was also beneficial for spiritual cultivation and even physical strength. Not only was it used before competitions, but also for enlightenment. Who would have thought that people would become addicted to it before they could achieve enlightenment.

If people stop using it for a few days, they will become insane and crazy, and it is called the heart-destroying grass.

The effect of the liquid medicine made from this thing is even more extraordinary.

"They named this tobacco leaf Qingxinyan. Only distinguished guests can get access to the real water tobacco mixed with Mixin grass. Guests are the selected suckers. Nowadays, many people don't know what Mixin grass is. This thing has been extinct for nearly a thousand years," Feng Yi said, "As for this rouge and powder, the dosage is negligible."

Lin Du stared at the confiscated rouge, powder, tobacco leaves, incense and pills, and let out a light click of his tongue.

These things are already covered with something with a strong smell, and the amount of the Heart-Bewitching Grass extract added is extremely small, and it is still limited to internal supply. According to Feng Yi's description, the effect of this thing is very good, and it is a valuable thing. People who have it are reluctant to give it to others. The Heart-Bewitching Grass has been extinct for a long time due to the suppression of various forces in Zhongzhou. No wonder no one has discovered it.

And Yin Zhong's shops don't just sell these things. Because he has dealings with various noble families, he also uses his good relationships to get a hand in the hot buying and selling of investments, reselling cultivation resources and information, making a lot of money and profits.

Yin Zhong is also smart. He actually knows not to cheat poor people.

Lin Du sighed, "As expected, all the things that can make money quickly are written in the laws."

The others all looked at Lin Du. She spread her hands and looked at them innocently.

"Isn't it?"

Ju Yuan was filled with fear, as he was trapped in the Supreme Sect because of Lin Du. If he entered another sect, there might be another lawless lunatic.

"In recent years, Yin Zhong's influence in the sect has been growing. Feixing Sect was originally divided into several major factions. Those whose ancestors either ascended to heaven or made great contributions to Feixing Sect, with the protection of those ancestors, gradually gathered together to form the gatekeepers of cultivation. If a disciple of Feixing Sect does not choose a gatekeeper to join, he will inevitably be excluded and will not even be able to get the full monthly allowance."

"But the power of the sect leader has been hollowed out. Over the past few years, among the six sects, the Feixing Sect has been showing signs of decline. People of common origin but good qualifications cannot get good training resources, and those who are the disciples of the sect are the ones who are arrogant and domineering. People from other families have no way to survive unless they become slaves."

Feng Yi said this not to those idiots, but specifically to Lin Du, "The head of the sect wants to support someone to take back the power, and Yin Zhong also wants power."

Lin Du already knew the purpose of Feng Yi's words, "So Yin Zhong's business sister didn't do it herself, but instead leaked this news to the gate forces that have been suppressed in recent years and the merchants who have been harmed?"

Feng Yi nodded, "Not entirely. Yin Zhong hid very deeply, and he didn't even control it personally. But our Feng family and the Supreme Sect are not idle. Your senior brother smashed the water pipe house in anger, and everything inside, including the spiritual stones and treasures, was looted by him. Only the evidence was handed over to the elders of the Feixing Sect."

"The water pipe house makes a lot of money every day. Your senior brother should have earned the money from raising the Mo Lin spirit bone this time."

Ju Yuan crossed his arms and said, "That's not what I meant. I was cracking down on those who broke the law and confiscating the illegal gains..."

Lin Du lowered his eyes and pushed the thing forward. The leader of Feixing Sect was just like a modern boss. If he wanted to lay off employees, he would first parachute in a demanding executive to take over the power and fire those who should be fired. Then he would lay off the executive and come out to appease the people and act like a good person.

The most sinister ones are the old capitalists.

Lin Du turned his thoughts back to the past, "When did he find out that Yin Zhong was not right?"

This question was asked to the leader of Feixing Sect.

Feng Yi shook his head. "I don't know, but I guess he doesn't know about Qinglu Village and the Heart-Loving Grass, otherwise..."

They are all upright people and would not be so confused.

It is permissible to seize power, but it is a serious offense to affect the lives of innocent people.

Lin Du saw that Seventh Senior Sister was thinking as much as he was, and her stern expression gave her an aura of majesty without even getting angry.

She tapped the table and said, "Seventh Senior Sister, stop worrying. You have already investigated all his legal and illegal businesses. You can let them handle them internally."

"None of these shops show any signs of being connected to the evil people in Lanjujie. So, have you checked the blacksmith shop I mentioned the other day?"

"That's the problem." Feng Yi frowned slightly. "I checked after receiving your message in the middle of the night. There's nothing unusual."

Lin Du asked cautiously, "Sister, are you really... not in the wrong place?"

Feng Yi: ...

She was used to being calm and dignified when being insulted. Now, facing the clear black and white eyes of her junior sister, she actually felt a rare sense of guilt, "It should be... not?"

Lin Du tapped the table and said, "Wait a few days until Master Nephew is better, and then we can go to Feixing Sect together and take a look."

"I have arranged for someone to monitor the place, so you don't have to worry." Feng Yi returned to normal. "If there is a real situation, it will be exposed."

Lin Du's hands were still on the table, tapping unconsciously. Feng Yi was a talisman practitioner from an aristocratic family. She understood power politics and human nature, and naturally understood shady dealings. But Lin Du always felt that there must be something strange about that weapon refinery shop.

She stood up and said, "Since there is the Heart-Losing Grass, there must be a place where it is grown. Don't the people inside know that they are breaking the law?"

"Those storekeepers and key personnel..." Feng Yi paused, a hint of hostility flashing in his red phoenix eyes, "There is a scar on the Shenmen acupoint."

Lin Du thought to himself that it was just as he expected.

"The people from the Feng family and the Supreme Sect are all trying to track down the origin of the Heart-Bewitching Grass. Don't worry, the truth will eventually come out."

Feng Yi returned to normal, "You should take good care of yourself."

Lin Du's face fell. She drank two bowls of medicine a day in Ma Po Po's yard. In the morning, it was the medicine made by Ma Po Po to nourish her mind, and in the evening, it was the medicine made by Xia Tianwu to nourish her body. She drank so much that she even lost her appetite for meals. She ate three bowls of rice noodles today.

Five days later, Granny Ma finally drove away the person who disturbed her peace.

Lin Du returned the thick book of dragons to Granny Ma and thanked her again.

Granny Ma looked at the group of people in front of her. Although the remaining poison in Mo Lin's body had been cleared, the damage to his spirit bones was quite serious and he still needed to rest well. The man hanging on the four-wheeled vehicle had shown signs of weakness in just a few days, with gray hair. There was also a young man who was lively but still pale.

The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are all here.

"Have you thought it through?" Granny Ma looked at Tao Xian.

Tao Xian smiled, took the bowl of medicine that the little corpse puppet brought to him, and drank it in one gulp, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, grandma. I have no way to repay you, but I still have a grudge in my heart, and I must seek justice for my fellow junior brothers and sisters and myself. They will not rest in peace in their graves, and I must go down and tell them that I have sought justice for them..."

"Don't say such mean things. You just don't want to be a zombie and want to be reincarnated. I have no objection to your choice." Granny Ma looked at Lin Du, "Since you have the jade pearl as a reward, you don't need to make a vow. Let's just say goodbye."

Lin Du bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandma, for teaching me about Gu Men."

Granny Ma turned her head and said, "It's not a secret."

Everything here is a secret, and this information cannot be seen by the outside world. She is not a Gu master, but she has read all the Gu techniques. There are new records at the back of the book. No matter what Granny Ma says, she is half a master to Lin Du.

Lin Du laughed, "If I encounter an evil dragon master, I will kill him immediately and send a message to my mother-in-law."

Granny Ma frowned, "No need, you're too noisy."

"Also, think about your health. I've said before that if you ever get sick, you can come find me."

Lin Du just smiled and agreed without refutation.

After they left, the gate slowly closed. Granny Ma was pounding medicine alone in the yard. After a while, she lowered her head and smiled.

"Righteous disciples, as expected..."

Even a mediocre and cowardly person like Tao Xian was no exception.
