Gu Xifeng looked at the poor mother and son with a solemn expression. If he was right, the new medicine that Xiaowu bought this time was still fake medicine. If he bought fake medicine once, it might be by chance or he might have met a profiteer, but he bought fake medicine every time. Then the problem would be serious..

Either someone set up this mother and son, or there's something wrong with the medicine here..

Gu Xifeng did not have any missions on this trip. He just wanted to go to the border between Absolute Beginning and New Korea to take a look. Ever since Han Linfu accepted the title of King of Absolute Beginning Emperor Li Boqian, there had been no more wars between the two dynasties..

Especially in the past year, there has been almost no conflict on the border between the two Koreas. No matter border trade or travelers entering the customs, there has been no friction between the troops stationed on the border between the two Koreas. Especially after the Qing army assisted the western border army in deploying defense, it was peaceful..

This made Gu Xifeng suspicious. He had a feeling that Han Linfu was definitely not a quiet person. This peace was especially like the calm before a storm..

Now that he was in Fengwu County, Gu Xifeng suddenly wanted to take a look at the place where he had carried out his first mission. He especially wanted to see what Qiao County would become after Qin Chuan, the new spy of Han Dynasty, died. That was why he ran into this matter..

The spies of the Seven Kills Camp mastered a wide range of skills, and medical skills were one of the most important. As the direct disciple of the commander of the Seven Kills Camp, Gu Xifeng would only be more proficient in what he mastered..

After a short period of emotional loss, Little Five left the room. He still had a lot of things to do. Soon, he brought a bowl of porridge and a plate of dishes. After his mother ate dinner, Little Five's medicinal soup was ready. He carefully brought the medicinal soup to his mother and personally fed it to her.

In this series of processes, Xiao Wu's mother's eyes have a comforting color, but she is more guilty of implicating her son..

After Xiao Wu's mother finished drinking the medicine, she let her mother rest in bed, and she rushed out..

Gu Xifeng followed behind. Xiaowu came to a restaurant that looked a little shabby. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he began to help the shopkeeper do this and that. His movements were very skillful. Obviously, he had been working for a long time..

The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Wu's lively appearance and nodded in satisfaction." Xiao Wu, has your mother's illness improved?" Xiao Wu turned around and smiled." Shopkeeper Wang, I changed my mother's new medicine today. She should recover soon. Thanks to the shopkeeper for letting me work in the restaurant. Not only did she pay us for our meals, but otherwise we would have lost our meal schedule.".

The shopkeeper said with a trace of pity in his tone: "Don't thank me, this is all due to your work, and there are not many good children like you who are filial and sensible.".

The smile on Xiao Wu's face disappeared and was replaced by a worried face. Obviously, he was not so optimistic about his mother's illness..

Gu Xifeng sighed and returned to Xiaowu's house. Xiaowu's mother was already asleep, but she was not sleeping well. She frowned and coughed from time to time..

Gu Xifeng walked to her side and put his hand on her wrist. Whether it was the symptoms or the pulse, it seemed that Xiaowu's mother was suffering from lung fever. The doctor Xiaowu found was not wrong, so it can be concluded that there was indeed a problem with the medicine Xiaowu bought for her mother before..

Gu Xifeng stretched out a hand and pressed it on the top of Xiaowu's mother's head. He activated his internal energy and instilled traces of pure internal energy into her body. Her breath gradually stabilized and her cough eased a lot before she fell asleep..

Injecting internal energy into her body could not cure her illness, but could only strengthen her constitution and reduce her pain..

After doing all this, Gu Xifeng left Xiaowu's house and came to a remote alley in the city. He stopped at a private house..

He gently knocked on the door. After a while, the door gently opened and a head poked out. Gu Xifeng showed him a token. The person immediately respected him and led him into the courtyard and closed the door tightly..

After closing the door, the man immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed to Gu Xifeng." Xu Yi, manager of the Dark Star Qingfeng City Branch, greets the Deputy Commander..

This man named Xu Yi was about forty years old. He looked very ordinary. He was the kind of person who could not be found in the crowd. This kind of appearance was very suitable for spies. Gu West Wind also liked to disguise himself as such every time he went out..

Gu Xifeng stepped forward to help him up and said,"There's no need to be so polite.".

After Xu Yi stood up, Gu Xifeng continued," I was passing by here and noticed that there was a problem with the medicinal herbs sold in the city. Did your Dark Star Branch notice anything unusual?" Xu Yi immediately replied," Sir, not only is there a problem with the medicinal herbs in Qingfeng City, but all the medicinal herbs in Fengwu County are now controlled by a treacherous merchant named Zhuo San. The new county magistrate of Qiao County is Zhuo Zhen, Zhuo San's son. In just half a year, it has been very difficult to find good medicines in Qiao County.".

Gu Xifeng frowned and said," Has the Imperial Court of Taichu become so corrupt? Does the county governor of Fengwu County just sit back and do nothing about this kind of murder?" Xu Yi smiled bitterly and said," Sir, Zhuo San can sell fake drugs without fear. If it weren't for the county governor of Fengwu County, he wouldn't have dared to do so..

Gu Xifeng's expression became more and more ugly, and Xu Yi continued to say with some sadness,"Sir, similar fake medicines are everywhere in Qiao County. Moreover, Qiao County is already considered a peaceful place in Yingzhou. Other places are not much different from starving.".

Gu Xifeng's expression gradually calmed down, and he suddenly spat out four words: "The building is about to fall…".

Xu Yi-mo, these spies who have been away all year round can feel the changes in Yingzhou over the years. If they let things go on like this, it is only a matter of time before Taichu perishes..

"Since we've met, we can't just sit back and watch. I'll handle this matter. The Dark Star Division is waiting for instructions at any time..

"Gu Xifeng firmly said.

He said,"It is a blessing for the people of Qiaoxian County to be able to make a move, and I will do my best to cooperate.".

After asking some more questions, Gu Xifeng left the Qingfeng Branch with a heavy heart. The matter of Xiaowu and his son was easy to resolve, but the decline of the entire Absolute Beginning seemed to be a foregone conclusion. The decline of the dynasty and the common people would suffer as well..

Xinyang City, Qiao County. This was where the Qiao County Government was located. It was also the most prosperous city in Qiao County. There was a brothel at the edge of the busiest street in Xinyang City. Because Qiao County was rich, even the brothel was very luxurious..

It was late at night, and there were not many guests in the brothel. In the largest private room of the brothel, a dozen beautiful girls were waiting on a young man in official clothes..

This man had a sharp and mean appearance, and his eyes were lifeless. His dark circles were very heavy, obviously caused by excessive sex. He hugged left and right, not only enjoying the girls 'service, but also touching them all the time. The girls could only laugh, but there was a hint of disgust in their eyes..

Finally, after eating and drinking, the man's attitude was rude and he shouted loudly with a sharp voice: "Call your pimp to me!" The girls trembled when they heard this. Immediately, a girl carefully said: "County magistrate, wait a moment. I will go and call you.".

"This is the first time I've ever seen a man who's been in a state of emergency..

Zhuo Zhen waved his hand impatiently and the girl jogged out of the room..

A moment later, a middle-aged woman who was still attractive walked in with a smile on her face. When she saw Zhuo Zhen, she revealed a happy face and said,"Lord Zhuo, you had a good time today.".

"Good," said Zhuo Zhen, his eyes narrowed and his face was filled with joy."If I want to go back to the Yamen now, I will still follow the old rules and find two girls to accompany me.".

When they heard this, all the girls present showed fear. Zhuo Zhen was not only lecherous but also very violent. If they neglected him in the brothel, they might only be beaten and scolded. However, if they returned to the county government with him, they would be tortured by him when they were having fun with him. The light ones were bruised and swollen, the serious ones were injured all over, and the most serious one almost lost her life..

A trace of hatred flashed through the pimp's eyes, but it was quickly concealed. She resumed her smile and said,"Chunyi, Dongmei, you two accompany the adults back today.".

Two beautiful girls stood out reluctantly from the crowd, gritting their teeth and still keeping a smile. Zhuo Zhen laughed and stood up. One of them hugged the two girls and walked downstairs. A middle-aged man with a vulgar appearance followed closely behind..

The pimp accompanied him with a smile and sent him to the door. After the middle-aged businessman went downstairs, he quickly called the driver to stop the carriage at the door. Zhuo Zhen hugged the two girls and got into the carriage..

The pimp whispered to the middle-aged merchant,"County magistrate, since we have been in office for half a year, we have come to our Colorful Phoenix Restaurant almost every day. Naturally, we have tried our best to serve you well. It has been so long, but now the Colorful Phoenix Restaurant has already exceeded its income. Can you reward us with some money to help us tide over the difficulties?".

This middle-aged businessman was unexpectedly the county magistrate of Qiao County. The previous county magistrate resigned because he was unwilling to collude with Zhuo Zhen. Zhuo Zhen was happy to do so and immediately arranged his housekeeper to become the county magistrate..

The county magistrate's face turned cold and angry." You're asking for money from the adults? The adults are here because you think highly of you!" The brothel mistress leaned in front of the county magistrate and hugged the county magistrate's arm in her arms. She leaned against the county magistrate and whispered softly," Don't be angry, adults. The girls earn hard money. They have to eat enough to serve the adults properly..

The county magistrate pushed the madam away and sneered: "Go away, don't get close to me, my lord is the lord of Qiao County, ask for money from the lord, you are tired of living.".

"The Lord's people are silent, and their hearts are filled with sorrow.".

The curtain of the carriage was opened, Zhuo Zhen peeked out, and looked impatiently at the county magistrate and the madam. His eyes glared and said,"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and don't disturb my elegant mood, or you will not be able to eat.".

Zhuo Zhen's face darkened even more. He looked at the madam and smiled coldly." You b * tch, I'm in a good mood today. If you dare to ask me for money again, neither you nor any of your girls will leave Fengwu County alive!" Zhuo Zhen got into the carriage again. His voice came from the carriage." Let's go!".

The brothel door alone left the brothel's son alone dejected.
