When the fifth prince was in power, the three border towns were robbed by the coalition forces of Beiling and Xirong. They were taken back only after Jing Yu ascended the throne.

Mozhen is no longer the dilapidated border town it once was, but has now more than tripled in size.

Moreover, two new villages were formed at the foot of the mountain outside Mozhen City.

After the Mozhen Trade Market was established, some people who came here to do business, work, or flee the country had no money to buy a house in the city, so they cut down trees and built houses at the foot of the mountains outside the city and lived there.

Over time, two large-scale villages were formed. These two villages were built on the national boundary between Beiling and Daming. They had a complex population and included people from all religions and professions.

Because it is an area where neither side cares, the public security is also very poor, and accidents happen from time to time.

Shangguan Ruoli decided to take over the management of these two villages first, otherwise they would become a place where Beiling lurks soldiers and killers in the future.

Dongming Ziyu agreed, "But let's get a feel for the situation in Mo Town first."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "Then tomorrow, go sell the seafood you brought."

They disguised themselves as a caravan and naturally brought a lot of goods.

When I came to Mozhen, I didn't live in the county government office. Instead, I rented a private house very close to Bai Qingqing Medical Center so that we could take care of each other more conveniently.

After a good day's rest, the next day, Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli dressed like businessmen and went out with An San and An Si.

Mo Wen and Mo Xiang were Dongming Ziyu's personal symbols. At this time, they were hiding in the dark and serving as secret guards.

Shangguan Ruoli and Dongming Ziyu also regarded themselves as real businessmen and discussed it. Those who were unfamiliar with the place should not take the goods out first. They should first familiarize themselves with the market conditions before taking the goods out to sell.

Otherwise, carrying several boxes of stuff around on the street wouldn't be a big deal.

Although I stayed in Mozhen for a period of time sixteen years ago and shed my blood for it. However, Mozhen today has changed a lot, and it is no longer as barren and depressed as it was back then.

Mozhen is now the largest trading city on the border, bustling and grand. Businessmen from various countries are wandering on the streets, creating a prosperous scene.

The two of them went directly to the trading market. Both of them were dressed like nouveau riche in the countryside, belonging to local tycoons. This Mo Town is a trading town, and if there are a lot of rich people, others will look at them with a certain look.

Contempt and disgust.

Dongming Ziyu's condition is not bad. He is extremely tall, and no matter how unconventional his clothes are, he can't make him look handsome. Therefore, he doesn't look ugly, but he has the look of a cold and arrogant businessman.

The two walked around a few streets and finally found a few shops selling dried seafood.

When I walked in, I saw that there was really a dazzling array of goods from all over the world.

Among them are those selling seafood, which are all dried in the sun. Some are packed in decent boxes and covered with transparent gauze covers to prevent customers from directly handling them.

Shangguan Ruoli took a look at the logo on the box and realized that it was the product of his dried seafood factory.

Shangguan Ruoli pointed to a box of sea cucumbers and asked, "How do you sell this?"

The store clerk saw that her dress seemed affordable, so he quoted a price, "One hundred taels of silver."

The price is ridiculously high!

It’s more than twenty times higher than the market price.

As soon as the shop clerk saw Shangguan Ruoli's expression, he knew it was too expensive and his attitude was bad. He said as if to drive people away: "You two go shopping elsewhere. There are many places selling bargains in Mo Town. Don't block our way."

Storefront,”

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

She just felt a little surprised that her things were so expensive here. Could it be that she couldn't afford them?

There were still a few shops selling seafood, but Shangguan Ruoli didn't say anything. Dongming Ziyu was the one asking for prices and the market situation.

After walking a few streets and entering dozens of shops, both of them finally felt confident.

I mentally selected a few suitable stores and decided that when I was free tomorrow, I would take the goods and sell them to whomever offered the highest price.

Both of them felt very excited. This was their first experience as a businessman selling goods in person.

After securing the sales of seafood, Shangguan Ruoli took Dongming Ziyu's big hand and said, "Let's go buy some special snacks to try."

Dongming Ziyu's lips curved slightly, "Okay!"

It's been a long time since the two of them had a world together, and going shopping hand in hand like this is a new experience.

Mo Town is close to Beiling and Xirong. The folk customs are relatively civilized. Women are everywhere doing business and working. There are also many young men and women holding hands on the street.

Of course, this is inseparable from Jing Yu’s policy call for women to be independent.

Shangguan Ruoli pointed to a stall selling colorful windmills in the distance, "Let's buy two windmills for Ling Yu and Mingmin."

Suddenly, panicked sounds came from the street.

"Give in, give in quickly!"

"Hurry up, let's go to the hospital!"

"I heard that Dr. Bai is back. Send him to Tongji Medical Center!"

"Let's go take a look." Shangguan Ruoli pulled Dongming Ziyu to see the situation.

The originally bustling crowd on the street made way for them.

I saw several men carrying a young strong man. The strong young man had a ferocious and twisted face. He was tied up and could only move his head.

He struggled wildly, and when he couldn't move, he bit people with his mouth and roared excitedly.

The person who was bitten cried: "Hey, why did you bite me? I am your father! You bastard..."

Someone in the crowd exclaimed: "You are really crazy!"

"This man must have gone to Baishan."

Someone asked without knowing, "What's going on?!"

Those who knew about it started gossiping, "Hey, you didn't know, right? A lot of people have gone crazy these days. It is said that the White Mountain outside the city is haunted. These people all went crazy from the White Mountain!"

"Bah! You are so ignorant, what the hell are you doing? The doctor said that I was poisoned. Do you know that I was poisoned? It will be fine once the poison is detoxified."

"What kind of poison is it? Can it turn people crazy?"

"I have lived here for half my life, and I have never heard of a poison that can make people go crazy on Baishan Mountain. How come this year, people are always getting poisoned by crazy poison?"

When Shangguan Ruoli heard this, his heart moved and he looked at Dongming Ziyu.

When the two returned to their residence, they sent someone to Bai Qingqing to inquire about the news.

Bai Qingqing said that he was indeed poisoned by a kind of insect called snow lotus. After biting a person, it will cause hallucinations and lead to abnormal behavior.

This kind of bug lives above the snow line. Logically speaking, it is summer now, and the injured person has not crossed the snow line, so he should not be injured.

Dongming Ziyu's political acumen immediately gave him a bad feeling.

What will happen if this insect is released among the people or the army?

Killing each other, biting each other...
