I practiced with a cheat

"San Du Sect presented two packets of 'Xiao Xing Beng Qi Powder' as agreed.

"When this medicine is put into water, it is colorless and odorless, and emits poisonous gas. When ordinary people smell it, their muscles and bones will become soft and their internal organs will gradually dry up.

"Even if you have martial arts, as long as the gate of heaven has not been opened and the bridge between heaven and earth has not been opened, this medicine can make your inner energy weak, lack of energy, and even your inner strength will decline.

"This medicine is not fatal, but it is enough to spread panic, which is exactly what the young village owner wants.

"Please don't forget to get the money back after you accept it."

This is the content of the letter.

The Three Poison Sect is a subordinate sect of the Plague Emperor Sect. It is not very strong and its leader is only at the sixth level. Its members have always been secretive and are famous for selling various poisons.

The reason why Zhou Heng felt shocked was that he didn't expect that he had just asked Wu Zongshan to pay more attention to the movements of the Emperor Plague Sect, and he found that he already had something related to the Emperor Plague Sect in his hands.

If nothing unexpected happened, the two people he killed earlier should be members of the Sandu Sect.

Those two tokens are probably the identity tokens of the Sandu Sect.

However, the people involved in the content of the letter and the efficacy of the poison made Zhou Heng very confused.

Jinglei Villa is not an evil sect. On the contrary, it is a well-known righteous sect throughout Pingzhou County. Its owner, Wei Zhentian, has always been known for hating evil as much as hatred.

Even though Wei Gaopeng, the young owner of the village, is not well-known now, he often does things like helping poor people in the village, eradicating violence, and wiping out mountain bandits.

No matter how you look at it, you don’t look like someone who wants to buy poison to create panic.

But the content of the letter does not seem to be fake, unless the two people knew in advance that they would definitely be killed, and then the letter would fall into the hands of others to create panic rumors out of thin air.

This is obviously unrealistic.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Judging from what he knew about the situation now, he didn't have much clue for a while.

He had no choice but to turn his attention to the list on the side.

Listed above are the purchase details of each medicinal material, including weight, unit price, seller and other information.

Zhou Heng also saw a familiar name on it.

Liao Quancheng.

It was Dr. Liao who was in bed when Yu He was infected by ghost energy and was helpless to leave.

He is a famous doctor in Huangtong Fucheng. He also runs a pharmacy and sells medicinal materials.

This does not mean that Liao Quancheng has colluded with the Sandu Sect. After all, his family only sells medicinal materials and has no control over what people buy the medicinal materials for.

However, we might be able to get some clues about the Three Poison Sects from him.

Those who find the Three Poison Sect will have a chance to find people from the Plague Emperor Sect.

"Do you want to ask Dr. Liao tomorrow?"

Zhou Heng touched his chin and thought: "It's just that the Three Poison Sect may not leave such obvious flaws. If you don't even have this vigilance, how can you keep your whereabouts secret and difficult to find?

"Well, the girl who was hunted by the Three Poison Sect before should have more clues. Unfortunately, in order to avoid getting into trouble, I didn't leave any contact information."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret.

If I had known this, I should have had an in-depth communication with that girl.

"Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, after seeing the mansion given by Wu Zongshan tomorrow, I will go to Liao Quancheng to inquire."

Zhou Heng made a plan for tomorrow's investigation, "Well, the method of questioning should also be more careful, so that people can't tell at a glance that I am looking for someone."

…

The next morning.

Zhou Heng got up early in the morning and waited for Wu Zongshan to send someone over.

He was looking forward to it.

Enter the house seven times!

If this were placed on earth, the palace would be nothing more than that.

It can only be said that this world is really vast, and even ordinary people can live in such a large house.

——Generally speaking, "one entrance" refers to the area of ​​a courtyard, and "seven entrances" can be simply understood as seven connected courtyards, covering an area of ​​about two to three thousand square meters.

This house is located in the most prosperous Chengbei District of Huangtong City. In terms of house price, it is worth almost five to six hundred thousand taels of silver.

It's a pity that this is property seized by the Fucheng Yamen. At most, it can be used as a reward to grant people the right to live.

It's impossible to sell it.

Finally, under Zhou Heng's expectant gaze, Meng Xing, the first toolman of Huangtong Mansion, arrived.

It was not easy for the Fucheng Yamen arrester, who was a dignified eighth-level martial artist, to be sent by Wu Zongshan to show Zhou Heng the house.

However, Meng Xing himself did not feel forced to do business. On the contrary, he was quite happy to get along with Zhou Heng.

After all, Zhou Heng looked like a martial arts genius with a bright future. He might become a big shot in the third rank in the future, or even become a grandmaster!

As a small-time catcher with no background and no background, I don't have many opportunities to meet big people, so I must cherish it.

"Mr. Zhou, the carriage is ready. Please come with me." Meng Xing said with a smile. There was a luxuriously decorated carriage parked behind him, which he rented at his own expense to pick up Zhou Heng.

"Thank you very much, Meng Baotou." When Zhou Heng saw the carriage, he immediately understood what was going on and said to Meng Xing, "Meng Baotou, please come with us, the driver is here."

"No need." Meng Xing shook his head and said with a smile, "This is specially prepared for you, Master. I'll be fine outside."

"Meng Baotou is interested." Zhou Heng said with a smile, and stopped forcing him, got up and got on the carriage.

When the morning glow gradually dissipated, Zhou Heng arrived at the large house in the northern district of the city in a carriage.

The red gate, the stone lions, and the long walls made him feel a strong momentum. Compared with the room he rented before, the difference was as big as heaven and earth.

Many people in this area have heard that this house, which has been detained by the government office for a long time, is about to welcome new residents, and they are very curious about what kind of people will live here.

Therefore, as soon as Meng Xing and the carriage carrying Zhou Heng arrived, many people immediately cast their eyes over.

There were men, women, old and young, all with envy.

After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that this house is the largest and most luxurious courtyard in the northern area of ​​Huangtong Prefecture. It was once the dream of countless people to live in it.

When Zhou Heng lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out, the people present suddenly became excited.

"Oh my god! So young! So handsome!"

"This, this guy looks like he's only 17 or 18 years old! Hmm, this guy looks familiar."

"It's Zhou Heng, the Zhou Heng from Longxing Martial Arts School in the East District, a 17-year-old ninth-rank master, who made it to the Human Ranking!"

"A 17-year-old master on the Human Ranking! Still so handsome, I love you!"

"I really want to give birth to a child for him!"

There were waves of exclamations, and many parents secretly made up their minds to urge their children to practice martial arts after returning home.

Look at Zhou Heng, who has been on the Human Ranking for martial arts and has everything!

If his own children don't practice well, beat him up!

Zhou Heng ignored the exclamations of the people, and under the leadership of Meng Xing, he pushed open the door of the mansion and stepped into it.

The first feeling was not luxury.

But desolation.

And an inexplicable gloomy atmosphere.

Moreover, the carvings on the screen wall in front of him were also a bit strange.

The first thing he saw after entering the door was a square brick-carved screen wall.

The carving on it is a three-legged bird standing in the sun, about to flap its wings and fly high, but two of its legs are bound by the cloud-like patterns and cannot break free.

Three-legged bird?

Zhou Heng frowned slightly, looked at Meng Xing beside him, and asked: "Captain Meng, do you know why this mansion was detained by the government office in the prefecture, and who was the previous owner?"
