Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Unlike the peaceful atmosphere of the Six Doors, undercurrents were secretly brewing in Haicheng.

The Shi residence, study.

"The Six Doors, Gu worms?" Shi Sheng's eyes flickered as he listened to his subordinate's report.

“You…” Shi Sheng began slowly.

He was indeed afraid of Li Junsu, but what he feared was the powerful figure and unknown strongman behind Li Junsu.

He wouldn't be afraid of something as trivial as tripping him up.

This reveals the difference between He Chang and Shi Sheng. Ultimately, Shi Sheng retained a degree of arrogance due to his own profound understanding of the world.

He Changze was different; he didn't care.

......

In front of the stall.

"Hey! I..." A man who had just finished drinking the Gu worm soup at the stall suddenly vomited blood, startling everyone present.

"Their...their Gu worms..." the man stammered, coughing up blood.

The Gu clan members behind the stall were dumbfounded, their minds blank.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Just as the residents came to their senses and were about to start discussing it...

"Hey! What's wrong with you!" The voice drew everyone's attention. A farmer-looking man was lying on the road, pointing at the constables from the Six Doors and shouting.

"You're in cahoots with the Gu clan, what, trying to kill me to silence me?" the farmer lying on the ground cursed.

Shi Sheng's move wasn't particularly clever, but it was certainly disgusting.

Just, the next moment.

"Make way, make way." A kind-looking old man appeared behind the Six Doors constable.

"Thank you, sir, for your contribution to the stability of Haicheng." The old man bowed as he passed the constable.

The constable instinctively helped the old man up.

The residents, who were about to follow the crowd, quieted down.

Dr. Xu is known far and wide for his compassionate heart and superb medical skills; most people have heard of him to some extent.

"Doctor Xu, please take a look at him quickly," a young boy following behind said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Xu immediately stepped forward to take the pulse of the man who had fallen to the ground.

"Don't come any closer," the man said, stepping back.

"Doctor Xu is here, what are you afraid of?" the boy said, walking to the other side and pressing down on the man.

“A family of five,” the boy said softly as he pressed the man down.

Upon hearing this, the man stiffened, a chill rising up his spine.

"Yes, Dr. Xu is truly a compassionate healer," a chorus of agreement came from the crowd.

"Strange." Doctor Xu took the man's pulse and glanced at him.

Then, Dr. Xu stood up angrily and stormed off.

"The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. I hope you will not do such a thing again in the future," Dr. Xu said as he left.

The man's pulse was steady, and his blood and energy were abundant. Most importantly, the blood was wrong; it wasn't human blood.

"He's vicious and wasted my time," Dr. Xu thought angrily as he came to his senses.

In the time it takes for him to travel back and forth, he can treat two more patients.

"Oh, so you're just jealous of them. They only make a penny selling this. They can't make any money from it, so why would they want to kill you?" The boy stood up with a look of sudden realization and looked at the man.

Then, the boy, carrying his medical kit, quickly followed Doctor Xu.

The man simply lowered his head and remained silent.

The residents were momentarily stunned by the rapid reversal, but when they came to their senses and saw the tearful young men and women of the Gu clan behind the stalls, their hearts softened.

Especially since these young men and women were all so pretty and looked so aggrieved, it made them furious and they started cursing at the man.

"Take them away." The constable waved his hand and led the two men away.

"I...we're not selling anymore..." The young people of the Gu clan had never seen anything like this before; they wanted to go back to Lingnan.

Such things wouldn't happen in Lingnan; they want to go home.

Moreover, thanks to Li Junsu's intentional or unintentional propaganda, the Gu people and the people of Lingnan truly developed a bond.

The residents were now outraged and even more convinced that the man had framed them.

These young people were genuinely packing their things; they were planning to run away.

The boy is right. What money could one possibly make from a soup that costs only a penny? As for taking lives, why would one want to take their lives?

So the residents blocked the young man's way and spoke to him politely.

But the surrounded Gu people were even more frightened, looking at them as if to say, "Don't bully me."

They didn't bring any other Gu worms with them and were no different from ordinary people, so they were really afraid that these residents would harm them.

Unlike the eerie atmosphere here.

......

"That's it?"

"Ah."

"who are you?!"

"If you have someone to blame, blame your dead son."

Simultaneously with the execution of the two men in the market, a bloody incident occurred.

"What's next?"

"Take the head with you, and let those thugs open their eyes."

......

Song Mansion, study.

"Is everything taken care of?" Song Yang asked the butler after seeing the guests off.

"Yes, just as the master expected, those thugs made their move," the butler said, bowing.

“Juyi Tower… I’ll fuck your mother.” Song Yang rarely swore.

If I hadn't gone over the possible scenarios with Feng Fan last night, this matter could have caused a huge uproar.

This matter isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either. If it gets back to Li Junsu... Song Yang shuddered as he thought about it.

This is why Song Yang cursed; he had finally started making money, and those bastards from Juyilou started tripping him up.

Was he tripping up the Six Doors? No, he was tripping up his own God of Wealth!

“You…” Song Yang then gave the order.

Now, Song Yang truly hated Juyilou.

Just as Li Junsu wouldn't bring Yan Gui and He Ningyao up, if this trivial matter were reported to Li Junsu, Song Yang wouldn't be able to continue this business.

If he can't even handle such a small matter, what use is Li Junsu to him?

The remaining few will immediately come and tear him apart. Don't be fooled by their current obedient following behind him; given the chance, none of them will hesitate to strike.

Such a trivial matter alarming the chief constable means Song Yang must be either a good-for-nothing or a moron, but he is not.

This is the survival rule for ordinary people.

......

Feng Mansion, main hall.

"How did the boy handle it?" Feng Fan asked slowly, sipping his tea.

"It's all taken care of, and the money has been paid," the butler replied.

Feng Fan nodded, signaling the butler to leave.

Dr. Xu is truly a compassionate healer, but the young apprentice beside him doesn't have such a broad mind.

This is Feng Fan's way of doing things: nine parts truth and one part falsehood, yet it is still considered true.

This little bit of pretense by the boy is harmless, isn't it?

"Juyi Tower." Feng Fan narrowed his eyes.

Anyone who blocks a merchant's path to wealth is considered a mortal enemy.

Shi Sheng never expected that the benefits brought by Li Junsu... or rather, the Gu Clan, would be so great.

This is why Li Junsu is so confident; even Fang Dayi might not be able to remain calm in the face of this business deal.

Such a trivial matter didn't even qualify for Li Junsu's attention; it simply vanished into the shadows.

The benefits are exciting.
