Chapter 87: Traitor of the Fisherman's Gang
Xiantao Town, Plum Tea Shop!

A very small tea shop. The people of Mianshui love to drink tea, so there are always tea shops in both the countryside and the city.

Huamei Tea House is a small tea shop in Xiantao Town.

It is divided into two parts: the front hall and the private rooms. The front hall usually sells large bowls of tea, which are provided to porters and small vendors.

The private rooms are for the important people in the town to drink tea.

At this time, in the private room of the Huamei Tea Shop, captain Zhao Xun was sitting there with a lot on his mind.

In front of me is a plate of plums and a cup of the best Biluochun tea.

One of his hobbies is to taste plums, drink Biluochun tea, listen to the noisy sounds outside, and enjoy his happy life.

But today, the plums did not arouse his appetite.

Even the fragrant Biluochun couldn't lure out the tea worm in his stomach.

Why?

Confused!
stomping on...

Just when Zhao Xun at the bow of the ship was absent-minded, footsteps were heard and a man walked in slowly.

I sat opposite him and asked the waiter to bring a pot of Tieguanyin.

He poured himself a cup of tea. The person opposite him was not in a hurry. He sipped the tea and looked at Zhao Xun on the bow of the ship.

Zhao Xun didn't say anything either.

The two of them remained silent. When the man drank the second cup of tea, Zhao Xun spoke.

"Don't you want to know why I asked you to come?"

"Haha, I thought you would wait until I finished this pot of tea before you spoke. You asked me out, of course, for yourself. Could it be for me?"

"So I'm not in a hurry. If you are, just say, 'No hurry, let's have another drink first.'"

The man took another sip of tea and said, "I drink this and that, but it has to be Tieguanyin. Do you know why?"

Zhao Xun did not answer.

The man laughed and said, "Because this Tieguanyin is also called Oolong, Oolong has a better taste."

"What nonsense did you say?"

Zhao Xun responded to the man without any politeness after hearing his words, and then said: "Yu Biao, you are really able to keep your composure. The battle of Baozheng is coming soon. You haven't broken through yet. Can you beat Wu Zhong?"

Yu Biao heard this and said, "I am only one opportunity away from the Flesh Training Realm, and I have made two preparations. Before the battle of Baozheng, I will definitely be able to break through the Flesh Training Realm."

"Besides, even if I can't do it, don't you still have help me?"

Yu Biao said to Zhao Xun with a smile.

Zhao Xun said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. I only promised you to get rid of Wu Zhong, but I didn't say I would betray the Fishermen's Gang. I won't do anything to let the Fishermen's Gang down."

"Haha, yes, it's enough to get rid of Wu Zhong!"

Yu Biao nodded, then looked at Zhao Xun and said, "Tell me, what do you want to tell me? If it's not important, you won't take the risk to meet me in private!"

Zhao Xun was silent for a long time, then said, "Now there is a chance to kill Wu Zhong!"

"Oh?"

Yu Biao put down the teacup and immediately became interested. Killing Wu Zhong, is this a good thing?
"Tell me more about it."

Zhao Xun fell silent and stopped talking, looking very conflicted.

He knew that if he told this matter, he would be guilty of conspiracy to murder his superior. If the gang members knew about it, he would be punished according to the rules of the underworld.

But, is there any way back for him?
His ambition is already difficult to control, he wants so badly to be the manager of the fish pen, he wants so badly to make progress, is there anything wrong with wanting to make progress?

Yu Biao was not in a hurry. He picked up a pickled plum on the table and put it into his mouth, savouring its taste.

The fact that Zhao Xun came to find him showed that he had already made a decision in his heart, and the reason why he couldn't make a choice at this time was because he couldn't make a choice at that time.

In fact, it is just a kind of pretentiousness.

Sure enough, Zhao Xun spoke again.

"Wu Zhong went up Dahei Mountain at noon today..."

"Oh, you mean, last time we followed the hall masters into the gray fog, he discovered the hundred-year-old blood ganoderma?"

"Ah."

"Wu Hong is injured and is in urgent need of nourishment. Blood Ganoderma is the best tonic?"

"Correct."

Yu Biao's mouth curled up when he heard this: "It's so easy to get into the gray fog. Wu Zhong has lost his mind, or he loves his son too much!"

Zhao Xun said nothing, and at this time Yu Biao said: "Well, this is a good opportunity, but can Wu Zhong really come back from the gray fog?"

After hearing this, Zhao Xun asked, "What if he comes back alive?"

"makes sense."

Yu Biao nodded and said, "How about this? Tonight, we go to the outside of the gray fog on Black Mountain and wait. If we find Wu Zhong, we kill him on the spot?"

Zhao Xun said: "Then throw him into the gray fog and treat him as if he died in the gray fog. There will be no evidence to prove his death."

Yu Biao smiled: "Zhao Xun, I have to say, you are the one who is cruel. Wu Zhong has been very good to you, how could you have the heart to do that to him?"

Zhao Xun said with a dark face: "Anyone who stands in my way must die!"

Yu Biao grinned even more happily: "Very good, I like it. Kill Wu Zhong, you can be the manager of your fish pen, and I can get a Xiantao Town Baozheng for free, hehe... OK."

Zhao Xun said at this time: "I can give you the position of Xiantao Town Baozheng, but if Wu Zhong really brings out the blood ganoderma, he must give it to me!"

Yu Biao heard this and said, "That won't do. The value of the blood ganoderma is higher than the position of Baozheng. I can't give it all to you. We'll each take half."

"half each?"

Zhao Xun frowned, looking reluctant, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, half for each of us."

After saying that, Zhao Xun stood up and said, "See you in the back hills at the end of the afternoon."

Yu Biao smiled and said, "See you in the back hills!"

The two smiled at each other, and Zhao Xun left the teahouse. At this time, another person walked in from outside the door, it was Yu Sanliu.

"Dad, are you really going to give him half of that blood ganoderma?"

Yu Biao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I give it to you or not, it doesn't matter if I don't give it to you. It doesn't matter."

"Dad, isn't this important?"

Yu Sanliu was puzzled, but Yu Biao drank his tea and said, "From today on, Zhao will become a dog of our Yu family. If I tell him to go east, he won't dare to go west. From now on, Xiantao Town will be named Yu!"

"Well, Dad, what do you mean?"

Yu Sanliu understood instantly and started laughing too.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter. If today's matter is successful, this man named Zhao will be a dog of the Yu family!"

In this round, it looked like Zhao Xun and Yu Biao teamed up to kill Wu Zhong.

But what happens afterwards?
Even if the fact that Yu Biao killed Wu Zhong was known, the Cao Gang would come forward to protect him. It was not uncommon for the two gangs to fight privately and result in deaths. Although the Yu Gang would definitely retaliate, there was a 50% chance that Yu Biao would not die.

But what about Zhao Xun?
He was a member of the Fishing Gang and joined forces with Yu Biao to kill Wu Zhong.

What is this called?

This is called joining forces with outsiders to murder your superiors, and the crime is called being a traitor and treasonous!
This is a serious violation of the fishing gang's rules. He will definitely die. There is absolutely no possibility of survival!
Therefore, Zhao Xun was more worried about being exposed than Yu Biao in this matter.

The Yu family's father and son have got hold of this handle, and they can rely on it to make a living off Zhao Xun for the rest of his life!

Couldn’t Zhao Xun think of this?

He might have thought of it, but his unbridled ambition made him crazy and desperate!
……

Chen Jie comforted the three people from the Bai family and went home with a bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Before leaving, Doctor Bai repeatedly emphasized that Chen Jie could only wait outside the gray fog and was absolutely not allowed to enter the black fog. Moreover, if it was after midnight, Chen Jie would not have to wait any longer because Wu Zhong would definitely not be able to come back.

Chen Jie asked why.

Doctor Bai didn't tell us the reason, he just said to remember and not to get confused because of curiosity.

Chen Jie was very sure about this. He was afraid of this world. The existence of martial arts itself was magical, and those messy, weird and supernatural things might also exist.

Therefore, although he was very interested in the gray fog and wanted to know what was inside, he didn't want to get involved with it at all.

This thing always feels evil, so it's better to stay away from it.

Chen Jie accepted all of Bai Langzhong's advice.

Never enter the gray fog on your own initiative.

Wu Hong also said, "Jiu Si, thank you for your hard work this time. I should have gone there, but I am in such a bad condition."

After saying that, he sighed.

Bai also said, "Jiu Si, I won't say more. Be careful. Otherwise, if you fail to rescue Ah Zhong, you will be implicated."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Master, Brother Hong, Auntie, don't worry, I know what's going on, but I also have something to ask of you."

"Ninety-four, you say."

Chen Jie then said, "It's like this, I'm going up the mountain tonight, and my Yunjin and Yunrui are alone at home, I'm not very reassured, so can they stay at my house for one night?"

"Hey, what's my business? Auntie doesn't have much else but a lot of empty rooms. In this case, lunch is ready, so it's just right to invite Yunjin and Yunrui to come eat together. After eating, just chat with me this afternoon."

"Don't worry, there will be no problem with safety here."

Bai agreed readily.

Wu Hong also said: "Jiu Si, don't worry. Although my body is very weak and I can't walk a long way, if there are thieves coming, even if they are Ming Jin warriors, they will not be able to get away with it. I will definitely protect my brother and sister-in-law."

Doctor Bai said, "Jiu Si, don't worry. Although I, Bai Wenjing, am a useless doctor, I still have several juniors in the Fishermen's Gang. They may not care if something unexpected happens outside, but if they dare to rush to the mansion and cause trouble, that would be another slap in the face of the Fishermen's Gang."

"When the time comes, the Fishermen's Gang will turn Mianshui County upside down to find the murderer. Otherwise, where will they put their face?"

"I am one of the Eight Great Doctors of the Fishermen's Gang. If my safety cannot be guaranteed, the Fishermen's Gang will have no face to dominate Mianshui County!"

Although Doctor Bai is a low-profile person and has no power, he is a senior figure in the Fishermen's Gang. Even the current leader of the Fishermen's Gang has to call Doctor Bai "uncle" when he sees him!

After hearing what Doctor Bai said, Chen Jie felt relieved.

For some reason, after knowing this, Chen Jie always felt that something was wrong and was afraid that something might have happened.

Therefore, I decided to think of a way out first.

Now with Doctor Bai's guarantee, Chen Jie understood clearly that if you try to deal with the Bai family by using some shady tricks without any evidence, it would be fine. But if you dare to rush into the Bai family openly, see what happens.

Doctor Bai has been treating patients in the Fishermen's Gang all his life and has a good relationship with the old gang leader. As one of the eight doctors in the inner hall, he has cured countless illnesses and earned countless favors in the Fishermen's Gang.

Doctor Bai is now living in Xiantao Town for retirement. If anything happens to him, that would be disastrous.

It is estimated that the leader of the fishing gang will personally investigate the matter. By then, who can escape the pursuit of thousands of people in the fishing gang after committing such a crime?

It can be said that the safest place in Xiantao Town is the Bai family’s mansion.

Doctor Bai's golden signboard is hanging there. Unless it is a notorious bandit like Ni Wenjun, no one in Mianshui County would dare to break the taboo and come here.

After listening to Aunt Bai's words, Chen Jie went back and called Su Yunjin and Su Yunrui to come to Bai's house for dinner.

After listening to Chen Jie's words, Su Yunjin said, "Well, Jiusi, we have to help you with this. But forget about going to your aunt's house for dinner. Let's go after we finish eating."

Su Yunrui said, "Sister, there is chicken to eat."

Su Yunjin glared at Su Yunrui, and the little kid didn't dare to continue talking. But at this moment, someone suddenly came in from outside.

"Is Yunjin at home?"

Su Yunjin was startled, and when she stood up, she saw that Bai had come. Su Yunjin hurriedly asked, "Aunt, why are you here?"

Bai said, "I realized it as soon as Jiu Si left. How can we invite people to dinner without anyone from our family? My father has bad legs and feet, and Hong Er is also injured and has not recovered. I am the only old woman left. So I came to invite you in person, you can't not give me face!"

Bai looked at Su Yunjin with a smile.

Su Yunjin had no choice but to say, "Aunt, I'm not prepared. It's my first time here, so I can't go empty-handed!"

Bai smiled and said, "What are you taking? Jiusi is my father's apprentice, and we are like family. How can family members go home to take things? Okay, Yunjin, pack up and come with me. My eyesight has not been good recently. I have two needlework jobs to do in the afternoon. I can't thread this needle. Please help your aunt..."

After a few fights, Su Yunjin was taken to Bai's house by the hand of Bai.
