"A sect actually holds the power of life and death for ordinary people?" Fang Yang couldn't believe it.
"This white door has a great reputation in Dafeng City." Old Man Qi slowly explained.
Old Man Qi said slowly: "It is the branch of the Qinglong Gang, one of the ten sects of Western Shu Kingdom, in Fengcheng, Fanzhou."
From Old Man Qi's words, Fang Yang and the others knew that the Qinglong Gang was the largest force in Fanzhou, and even the government did not dare to provoke them casually.
Even though the White Gate is just a sub-stem, it owns thousands of hectares of fertile land, hundreds of shops, and thousands of apprentices. The family has a big business and is the most powerful gang in Dafeng City.
Baimen's taxes can account for more than half of the city's taxes. If Baimen is offended, the government will not be able to collect taxes and will have a hard time.
"Even the city lord of Fengcheng is extremely respectful to the senior officials of Baimen." Old Man Qi said fearfully.
Old Uncle Qi has been in Dafeng City for several years. Although he has a low status and a humble profession, he can occasionally visit the inner houses of some wealthy families, so he can get a lot of information.
"Although this place is called Dafeng City, it doesn't always have good harvests." Qi Lao said.
Because Dafeng City is surrounded by many deep mountains, there are not only a large number of rare wild medicinal materials, but also many rare birds and animals in the mountains. Therefore, Dafeng City's medicinal herbs and rare beast skins are very famous throughout Fanzhou.
Dafeng City has naturally become the cubs of the Qinglong Gang, an important source of animal skins and medicinal materials. It is also for this reason that the Qinglong Gang has set up a branch here.
"I also heard that the city lord of Dafeng City once worshiped the Qinglong Gang's leader when he was down and out. Only in this way did he get the support of the Qinglong Gang and rise all the way up!" Old Man Qi sighed.
After a pause, Old Man Qi said: "Therefore, even the city lord will take a high look at Baimen, a subordinate of the Qinglong Gang. If that man named Qian kills you, the soldiers in the city will not dare to say a word."
After hearing what Old Man Qi said, Fang Yang couldn't help but take a breath.
"I was too impulsive today!" Fang Yang said guiltily, "If it hadn't been for Uncle Qi, I'm afraid Tieniu and I wouldn't have survived."
"If anything, you are still a child, so you don't know the dangers here. Just be more careful in the future." Old Man Qi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Qi, for your advice. Fang Yang would like to express my gratitude!" Fang Yang said and bowed deeply to Uncle Qi solemnly.
"Water, water..." Wang Tieniu said drowsily while sleeping on the bed, and Fang Yang immediately fed him some water.
Old Man Qi walked over and touched Tieniu's forehead, shook his head and said, "The illness is not serious. Let's go and take Tieniu to the hospital. I'm afraid it will be dangerous if we are late."
As he spoke, Old Man Qi took out several small parcels from under an inconspicuous stone brick on the ground, containing about a few coins.
It is estimated that this is also the coffin copy of Old Man Qi.
Even though they had the money, they had to face all kinds of difficulties before they allowed the doctors at the medical center to prescribe medicine for Tieniu.
In the next few days, Fang Yang and Tieniu stayed at Old Man Qi's place.
Tieniu took medicine for three days, and his fever finally subsided, which made Old Man Qi and Fang Yang feel relieved.
After another ten days, Tieniu's pain was relieved a lot by applying some medicine on his legs.
And all of Mr. Qi's savings have long been consumed.
However, the doctor said that because the treatment had been delayed for a long time, Tieniu's leg might still have some problems even if it was cured, and it would cause extreme pain when it winds or rains.
"It doesn't matter. I'm lucky to have saved my life. Just let it hurt, as long as I can work." Tieniu was very tolerant.
That day, old man Qi went out to work, and Fang Yang was the only one in the house taking care of Tieniu.
"I just want to get up early and help Old Man Qi with the work. I don't want to be a freeloader." Tieniu said while lying on the "bed" made of hay and a few rotten wooden boards in the wooden house.
These days, not only does Tieniu spend money on medical treatment, he has two more mouths to eat. Old Qi's already poor life seems to be even more stretched.
After listening to Tieniu's words, Fang Yang also fell silent.
"In a few days, I plan to go out and find a buddy." Fang Yang said.
"Brother Yang, if you know how to read, you should be able to find it better than me." Tieniu said.
"Yang'er, Tieniu... open the door quickly, something good is going to happen!" Old Man Qi's voice came from outside the door.
"Uncle Qi, what's good?" Fang Yang asked.
"Today I went to pick up excrement from several wealthy households. I heard that Baimen is recruiting a new generation of disciples and apprentices. Many young people from rich families have come to apply with their children to see if they can make a living at Baimen."
Fang Yang frowned when he heard it was a white door.
"Yang'er, you can read and write, and you are smart. Maybe you can make a name for yourself in the White Sect. Even if you cannot become a disciple, even if you become an ordinary outer sect clerk, you will be superior to others in Fengcheng."
Old Man Qi said with a smile.
Although Old Man Qi was smiling all over his face, Fang Yang was not at all happy after hearing this. He just said lightly: "I don't want to go."
The actions of Mr. Qian and Qian Bao made Fang Yang not have a good impression of Baimen. He felt very uncomfortable when he heard that Baimen was recruiting apprentices and disciples.
After all, Fang Yang was still a young man, and his disdain for the Qian family and his son was written directly on his face, and he even disliked Bai Menmen in his dialogue.
"I know you hate that bastard father and son named Qian, but that's not all the people in the Baimen!" Old Man Qi said earnestly.
"In those days, the Qian family father and son really looked down on us mountain people and beat and scolded us at will. It was not because we had no future. Old Qi, I was already half buried, so I just thought that you could make a difference. Think about it, if you have a future
Now, he's from the Baimen, does this beast named Qian still dare to show his authority in front of you?"
"Brother Yang, I think Old Man Qi is right!" Tieniu, who was lying on the bed, struggled to sit up and said.
Tieniu endured the pain and said: "If my legs were good, I would definitely fight for my reputation. Only when I stand out can those bad guys dare not bully us. Brother Yang, I can understand such a simple truth. You are a scholar."
,Why can’t you understand?”
"That's the truth!" Old Man Qi nodded.
"That person named Qian is just an outer disciple of the White Sect. If you can become an inner disciple, you will definitely be prestigious. Even if you are an apprentice of the White Sect, you still have a decent status. That person named Qian is not like other local ruffians.
I dare to bully, let alone show off my authority in front of you!" Old Man Qi advised.
At this time, Fang Yang's mind was also racing. Thinking of the oppression of the Qian family and his son that day, he couldn't help but feel an unyielding strength in his heart.
"Well, thank you, Uncle Qi!" Fang Yang was also a smart man. He quickly figured it out and nodded with a smile, but his eyes were a little firmer.
