Chapter 2 Heresy
Any place with a prosperous side will also have a dark and unknown side.
The more prosperous a place is, the deeper and deeper the darkness is.
That’s how it is in Greater Shanghai!
Not for anything else but profit.
Beneath the superficial splendor, gangs are rampant in Shanghai, collusion between government and businessmen, and shady activities in various concessions. A large number of people die every day, and an unknown number of people disappear secretly. The city is built with the flesh and blood of countless people.
This abnormal prosperity.
Qingwan Pier.
This is the territory of the Little Knife Gang, a small and medium-sized gang in Shanghai.
In the warehouse, Ma Rong, the deputy leader of the Little Knife Gang, said to an old man with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xu, this is the goods, please take a look."
In Shanghai, having money means being rich.
For Ma Rong, the old man in front of him is his uncle, not even his father.
Although his father was killed by him himself.
The old man nodded and calmly pulled away the white cloth on the cargo in front of him, which turned out to be a coffin.
In such a night, a coffin appears here, not to mention it is indeed a bit scary.
Moreover, there is not only one coffin, but two full rows of coffins.
However, whether it was the people on the old man's side or the people on Ma Rong's side, they all looked accustomed to it, and no one had any strange expression on their face.
There are twenty identical coffins here, and each coffin contains a young dead person.
Without the old man's instructions, the old man's men went to open the lids of each coffin, then pulled out the corpses inside, carefully looking up and down and inspecting them. It seemed that they were looking at ordinary goods rather than corpses.
After a long time, a leading man came to the old man and said respectfully: "Shopkeeper, all the goods are basically in good condition, with no defects and no signs of disease."
Hearing what the man said, Ma Rong had a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we have done transactions so many times, and our credibility is absolutely guaranteed."
Mr. Xu nodded and waved his hand. The man next to him took out two small yellow croakers and handed them over.
Ma Rong quickly took it, unable to stop the smile on his face.
For Ma Rong, they are just some corpses, and they are a huge profit.
Although what is needed is young people and there are no mutilated corpses, it may be a bit troublesome to place them in some rural areas, but it is not too easy in big Shanghai. There are more than a hundred people dying every day due to various reasons, and there are a large number of people dying every day.
Young people are coming from all directions towards Shanghai.
If that doesn't work, just one person is enough...
This is a paradise and a hell!
Mr. Xu's people left with the body. A younger member of the Xiaodao Gang couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Brother, who do you think the other party is? He actually wants the body? Isn't he selling it to foreigners?"
Ma Rong put away the little yellow croaker, looked at his younger brother sideways, snorted coldly, and said with a warning: "Humph, you don't care who the other person is, as long as he is willing to spend money to buy it and I am willing to sell it. Knowing too much sometimes doesn't mean anything.
It's a good thing, maybe he will die one day."
When the younger brother heard this, he shuddered and did not dare to speak anymore.
Only then did Ma Rong look away. Compared to the younger brother below, he knew more and understood that the world was not that simple.
Big Shanghai is a mixed bag, with not only foreigners and gangsters, but also spies of warlords, and all kinds of capable people and strangers.
Some people don't need to use knives or guns to kill people. They can kill people completely invisible.
………………
"Ahem..."
Lu Changsheng felt the cool breeze at night. To ordinary people, it was just a breeze, but to him, it was like a cold wind in winter.
Although he lived to be nearly twenty years old relying on the effects of various heresies and tonics, his body was like that of a sixty-year-old man, and it was full of loopholes, and the tonics were only half as effective.
If no treatment can be found within six months, he will not survive his twentieth birthday.
"Master."
The heroic woman on the side came to Lu Changsheng's side and looked at him with concern.
"It's okay, these are just old problems."
Lu Changsheng looked at the woman with a rare true smile on his face.
Since the death of his parents, the only people Lu Changsheng can trust are the housekeeper and his family.
The butler's name is Xu Fu, who was adopted by Lu Changsheng's grandfather since he was a child. He has been working for the Lu family for more than 40 years and manages the Lu family's huge industry.
Xu Fu's wife died young and he has a son and a daughter. The eldest son Xu Ping has a good talent for business. Now the Lu family's external business is basically handled by the other party.
The youngest daughter Xu Lixia is a warrior and is Lu Changsheng's personal maid and bodyguard.
It was precisely because of the loyalty of the housekeeper and his family that Lu Changsheng, who was only eleven years old at the time, was able to completely take over the Lu family's business. With the help of the housekeeper's family, it continued to grow and become a well-known businessman in Shanghai today.
Businessman.
It can be said that the housekeeper and his family are die-hard loyalists of the Lu family. Even if Lu Changsheng wanted their lives, they would not hesitate at all.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Changsheng did not deliberately avoid them when he practiced the 'Corpse Control' inheritance.
Cultivation is not an easy task. Sincerity alone is not enough. It also requires the four factors of "Dharma and Wealth Couple".
Especially for people like Lu Changsheng, who has no orthodox cultivation methods and only some hereditary inheritance, cultivation is more difficult than ordinary people. Without the nourishment of a large number of precious medicinal materials, Lu Changsheng would have died long ago, let alone cultivation with his physique.
.
A servant hurriedly came to the door.
"Master, the housekeeper is back."
Lu Changsheng's expression changed and he said, "Yes, I understand."
After the servants left, Lu Changsheng slowly stood up and said to Xu Lixia: "Let's go, let's go to the secret room."
Because Lu Changsheng practices the 'Corpse Control' method, whether it is for those well-known and upright practitioners or for ordinary people, it is a bit like a top-notch evil cultivator. Therefore, even when Lu Changsheng practices, he is very hidden.
The secret room practice is in the basement, not only for privacy but also to get closer to the earth energy and yin energy, which has certain benefits for practicing the technique.
When Lu Changsheng and Xu Lixia arrived in the basement, Xu Fu was the only one left there, without anyone else.
"Master, I have collected all the things you asked for."
When Xu Fu saw Lu Changsheng, he quickly stepped forward with a very respectful expression.
