Chapter 115 The old, weak, sick and disabled are all gathered
Four or five people stood in the guest room in the courtyard, crowding the small room to the point that not even sunlight could get in, but the atmosphere in the room was solemn.
"Heart-confusing grass?"
Xia Tian almost slammed the table and stood up, his eyebrows full of hatred, "This Yin Zhong actually secretly put heart-confusing 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 drafted a common law in Zhongzhou many years ago. Each city sect and family was established separately. No matter what the rules of each family were, the law of Zhongzhou must be followed.
And one of the rules was that the heart-confusing grass could not be sold in Zhongzhou.
The Heart-confusing Grass was originally considered a medicinal herb. Gradually, people discovered that it could make people feel ecstatic, happy, and beneficial to cultivation and even physical strength. They not only used it before competitions, but also used it to gain enlightenment. Who knew that people would become addicted to it instead of gaining enlightenment?
If they stopped using it for a few days, they would become insane and insane, and were called Heart-confusing Grass.
The effect of the liquid medicine made from this thing was even more extraordinary.
"They named this tobacco leaf Qingxin smoke. Only distinguished guests can touch the real water smoke mixed with Mixin grass. Guests are the selected fools. 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 the rouge and powder, the dosage is negligible."
Lin Du stared at the confiscated rouge and powder and tobacco leaf incense pills, and sighed softly.
These things are already covered by things with strong smells, and the dosage of Mixin grass extract is very small, and it is still limited to internal supply. According to Feng Yi's description, the effect of the things is very good. It is a valuable thing. Those who get it are reluctant to give it to others. Mixin grass has been extinct for a long time under the suppression of various forces in Zhongzhou. No wonder no one has discovered it.
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 mix in the investment and trading of popular items, and resells cultivation resources and information, making a lot of money and profit.
Yin Zhong is also smart, and he actually knows not to cheat people.
Lin Du sighed, "Sure enough, things that can make money quickly are written in the laws."
The others all looked at Lin Du, and she spread her hands and looked at everyone innocently.
"Isn't it?"
Ju Yuan looked scared. It was because of Lin Du that he ended up in the Supreme Sect. 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 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 the ones who are domineering are the disciples of the sect. 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 sect leader wants to support someone to take back the power, and Yin Zhong also wants power."
Lin Du already knew why Feng Yi said this. "So Senior Sister didn't take control of Yin Zhong's business herself, but instead leaked the news to the gatekeepers and merchants who have been suppressed in recent years?"
Feng Yi nodded, "Not entirely, Yin Zhong hid it very deeply, and he didn't even control it personally. But our Feng family and the Supreme Sect are not idle. The water pipe house was smashed by your senior brother 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 daily income of the water pipe house is not small. Your senior brother should have earned the money from the black unicorn spirit bone this time."
Ju Yuan crossed his arms, "That's not the way to say it. I was cracking down on illegal and treacherous practices and confiscating the illegal gains..."
Lin Du lowered his eyes and pushed the thing forward. The head of the 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 the people who should be fired. After firing the executive, he would come out to appease the people and act like a good person.
The most sinister ones are the old capitalists.
Lin Du turned his mind back, "When did he find out that Yin Zhong was not right?"
This question was asked to the head of the Feixing Sect.
Feng Yi shook his head, "I don't know, but I guess he doesn't know about Qinglu Village and the Mixin Grass, otherwise..."
They are all righteous people and would not be so confused.
It's okay to seize power, but it's a serious offense to affect the lives of innocent people.
Lin Du saw that the Seventh Senior Sister was thinking as much as she did, and her frowning look gave her an aura of authority without even getting angry.
She tapped the table, "Seventh Senior Sister, stop thinking too much. You've already investigated all his legal and illegal businesses outside, and they can handle all of this internally." "
None of these shops show any signs of being connected to the evil people in Lan Jujie. 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, and there was nothing unusual."
Lin Du asked cautiously, "Sister, you really...didn't go to the wrong place?"
Feng Yi:...
She was used to being humble and not surprised, and was dignified and solemn. Now, facing the black and white eyes of her little sister, she actually felt a little guilty. "It should be...no, right?"
Lin Du tapped the table. "Wait a few days until the nephew is better, and then we will go to Feixing Sect together to take a look."
"I have arranged people to monitor that place, you don't have to worry." Feng Yi returned to normal, "If there is a real situation, it will always be exposed."
Lin Du's hands were still on the table, moving unconsciously. Feng Yi was a talisman cultivator, born in a noble family, she understood the politics and human hearts, and naturally understood the secret transactions, but Lin Du always felt that there must be something strange in that weapon shop.
She stood up, "Since there is the Heart-Bewitching Grass, there must be a planting area. Don't the insiders know that they are breaking the law?"
"Those shopkeepers and core people..." Feng Yi paused, and a little bit of hostility appeared in her Danfeng eyes, "There is a scar on the Shenmen acupoint."
Lin Du thought to himself, as expected.
"People from the Feng family and the Supreme Sect are tracking down the origin of the Heart-Loving Grass. Don't worry, the truth will eventually come out."
Feng Yi returned to normal. "Take good care of yourself."
Lin Du's face fell. She took two bowls of medicine a day in Grandma Ma's yard. In the morning, she drank the medicine made by Grandma Ma to nourish her mind, and in the evening, she drank the medicine made by Xia Tianwu for nourishing her body. She drank so much that she even lost her appetite. She ate three bowls of rice noodles today.
Five days later, Granny Ma finally drove away the people who disturbed her peace.
Lin Du returned the thick book 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 not small, and he still needed to rest well. The man hanging on the four-wheeled cart had already shown signs of decline in just a few days, with gray hair. There was also a young man who was lively but still pale.
The old, weak, sick and disabled were all gathered.
"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 be sarcastic. You just don't want to be a zombie and are in a hurry to reincarnate. I have no objection to your choice." Granny Ma looked at Lin Du, "Since you have the jade bead as a reward, you don't have to swear an oath. Let's say goodbye now."
Lin Du bowed and said, "Thank you, Granny, for teaching me about the Gu Sect."
Granny Ma turned her head and said, "It's not a secret."
It's not a secret. The outside world can't see this information. She is not a Gu Master, but she has read all the Gu Sect's Gu techniques. There are new records at the back of the book. No matter what Granny Ma says, she is half a teacher to Lin Du.
Lin Du laughed, "If I meet an evil snake master, I will kill him immediately and send a message to Grandma."
Grandma Ma frowned, "No need, you are too noisy."
"Also, your body, you should consider it yourself. I said before that if your body fails, you can come to me."
Lin Du just smiled and agreed without refutation.
After the few people left, the courtyard gate slowly closed. Grandma Ma was pounding medicine in the yard alone. After a while, she lowered her head and smiled.
"Righteous disciples, as expected..."
Even a mediocre person like Tao Xian is no exception.
