A knife in love

Chapter 831

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was silent, Master Feng said that he didn't take what he said seriously, and then said: "With the shrewdness of Li Qiufeng, I also know that Feng changed the big ingot of silver into broken silver, except for the convenience of Li Daxia to reward those people in the market. In addition to disciples, there are also Feng's own plans."

Li Qiufeng didn't know what Master Feng had planned, but he didn't want Master Feng to see his embarrassment, so he just smiled but didn't speak.

I only heard Mr. Feng said: "When working in the yamen, you have to manage from top to bottom, from left to right, so that disasters can be auspicious, and disasters can be turned into good luck. Otherwise, if you offend someone, you may die imminently, and you don't know how you died. Feng At the beginning when I worked as an errand in the yamen, I didn’t understand anything, and I suffered a lot. I was pushed out several times and almost went to prison. Later, I saw a lot, and gradually learned the way to protect myself wisely. If you want to be safe, you have to let the yamen go up and down, far and near, and only talk about your good points, not your bad points, so that you can keep yourself safe. For example, just now Feng asked Lao Han to exchange three ingots of silver ingots for Scattering the broken pieces of silver is of course for the convenience of Daxia Li to use the silver. But he also has the heart to bribe Lao Han and Tolerance. How can Feng Mou not know about their small cheating methods? But if they don’t give them benefits, just I am afraid that there will be more constraints in doing things, and many things will be difficult to handle. Just now, Lao Han also mentioned the matter of Master Zhang. When it comes to shrewdness, Master Zhang is only above me, not below me. But this time People are too greedy, they eat meat by themselves, and don't even give others a sip of soup, so the servants who go up and down in the yamen, even though they know that he is the magistrate's confidant, treat him with yin and yang, everything is up to him Stumbling from behind. If it wasn't for the magistrate to protect him, I'm afraid he would have been in great trouble. Although everyone can't do anything about him right now, if one day the magistrate can't protect him, Mr. Zhang will definitely be the first to ask Unlucky guy."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "If Feng Mou wants to live with money, he has to be like a fish in water in the yamen, and he can have both sides. Therefore, in many cases, he has to do nothing. The world is turbid and I am alone. , Everyone is drunk and I am sober, these two sentences are easy to say, but it is more true, I am afraid that no one can do it."

After Master Feng finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and fell silent.The two were thinking about their own thoughts, and it was not until they left the gate of the county government that Li Qiufeng bid farewell to Master Feng.Master Feng told him a few more words, and the two bid farewell.

Li Qiufeng walked and recalled what Master Feng said, the more he thought about it, the more startled he became, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, when he was at a loss, he saw a group of people walking towards him.When Li Qiufeng caught a glimpse of the leader, his heart trembled, and he hurried to the side to blend in with the people.This group of people was walking and talking, but they didn't pay attention to Li Qiufeng, and walked past Li Qiufeng in a moment.

After the group of people had gone far away, Li Qiufeng stood by the side of the street, looked at the backs of the group of people, and thought to himself: "Why is the Kunlun faction also in Xiuwu County?"

It turned out that the person he recognized from a distance as the leader was Chu Danyang, the head of the Kunlun School, and the ones walking beside him were naturally the disciples of the Kunlun School.Li Qiufeng and Chu Danyang had fought against the enemy side by side in the underground of the imperial mausoleum, Yong'an City, and Hutouyan Shajiabao.It stands to reason that when Chu Danyang arrived, he should come forward to recognize him.It's just that dragons and snakes are mixed in Xiuwu County right now, and weird things keep happening.There are Japanese pirates hiding behind the scenes, and I don't know what conspiracy there is.Therefore, Li Qiufeng made up his mind that he must not reveal his identity.He set his mind on the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole at the back, trying to find out who was behind all these conspiracies.Therefore, although he was surprised and happy when he saw Chu Danyang, he didn't come forward to recognize him.

Li Qiufeng stopped by the street for a long time, thinking that the Qingcheng faction and the Kunlun faction arrived one after another. The leaders of the two factions, Xu Chenghe and Chu Danyang, are not only strong in martial arts, but also chivalrous and righteous. Their disciples are not weak in martial arts. The real culprit behind the scenes, these two factions can become their own strong support.Thinking of this, he heaved a sigh of relief, and then turned and walked towards the Town God's Temple.

When he returned to his room in the backyard of the Town God's Temple, he first dug a few square bricks in the ground and dug a hole in the ground.Then he took out the red cloth bag wrapped with silver, took out five or six taels of broken Jiezi, wrapped the remaining silver and buried it in the pit, and laid the square bricks, and firmly pressed the square bricks with his feet.The ground returned to its original appearance, and it was no longer possible to see what was buried underneath.

Li Qiufeng wrapped the scattered silver left outside and put it in his arms. Seeing a pot of tea on the table, he reached out and touched the pot lightly. The tea was still warm.Presumably, after he left with Yu Fan, Miao Zhu came to clear away the food tray and bring tea along the way.Li Qiufeng took out the silver needle, and after trying the tea, there was no abnormality, then he poured a cup of tea, thinking about something while drinking the tea.

After half a stick of incense, only the sound of footsteps could be heard. A moment later, Wan Congyun, Mei Dali and Bayuyan arrived at the door.Li Qiufeng invited the three of them in, and before they were seated, Wan Congyun said excitedly: "Master Commander, today's work is finally not in vain, we have found great news."

Mei Dali and Bayuyan were afraid that Wan Congyun would take the lead, so they rushed to speak.The voices of the three were so loud that Li Qiufeng couldn't hear what they were saying.In the end, he had no choice but to pat the table and said, "You guys talk one by one. Master Wan Er speaks first."

Wan Congyun was very complacent, glanced at Mei Dali and Bayuyan, first accused Li Qiufeng of a crime, and then said: "From last night to this morning, a large number of people from the rivers and lakes have poured into Xiuwu County. The villain There are more than a dozen sects identified by the disciples. But these guys are very careful, we can't find out what they are doing in Xiuwu County. Right now, the inns in the city are full. Many people have no choice but to go to the north of the city. I lived in the desolate house where the plague once happened. I heard that the yamen has sent people to the north of the city to drive them away. However, there are so many people in the world, the people sent by the yamen suffered a great loss and fled. .”

After Wan Congyun finished speaking, Mei Dali hurriedly said: "Master Commander, we have also seen many people from the Jianghu enter Xiuwu County. I saw Shijia Dao and Lei Quanmen arrive yesterday, and the names of these two sects are already quite famous. Loud, but compared with the martial arts masters who arrived today, they are far behind. In the morning, many people from the Kunlun Sect came, and other gangs and parties respected the Kunlun Sect very much. The head of the Kunlun Sect seems to have a rough surname, This surname is a bit strange..."

Before he finished speaking, Bayuyan sneered and said, "Lao Mei, you are still not convinced when you say you have no ink. His surname is Chu, his name is Danyang, and he is the head of the famous Kunlun School. You Getting people's surnames wrong, and trying to grab credit, really makes people laugh."

Mei Dali said angrily: "Damn it, I want you to talk nonsense when I talk to the commander-in-chief?!"

Bayuyan said: "You didn't even understand the matter, so you ran back and talked nonsense, which delayed the important affairs of the Commander, can you handle it?!"

Just as Mei Dali was about to say more, Li Qiufeng waved his hand at him and said, "You two don't need to quarrel. We are all doing things for the court, so we must be calm."

When he said this, he remembered what Master Feng and Yu Fan had said, so he reached out and took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, and took out a handful of scattered silver taels, which weighed about three taels, and put the silver on the table, roughly Wei Sandui said in his mouth: "The three of you will take the money first and give it to the brothers who are able to do things well. Let me tell you brothers, you must find out the names and numbers of the gangs that have reached Xiuwu County. If you can know that they went to Xiuwu The purpose of the county seat is a great achievement."

When Wan Congyun and the other three saw Yinzi, they were all elated. While putting Yinzi in their arms, they swore and swore that they must inquire about the news of all the gangs, and then come back to report to Li Qiufeng.After the three of them left, Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, today's situation is somewhat similar to that of the imperial mausoleum.The various sects were deceived and flocked here.It's just that someone deliberately spread the news that there was a treasure hidden in the imperial mausoleum that day, and today someone fabricated some rumors to lure these people from the rivers and lakes here again.

While he was thinking, Miao Zhu brought someone to bring lunch.Li Qiufeng saw that there was wine and meat on the food plate, even rich, and he felt quite sorry, so he said: "I am really sorry for bothering you. You don't need to prepare meals for me anymore, and I will go to the tavern outside the temple to eat by myself." That's it."

Miao Zhu said with a smile: "You are out of touch now. Master Wan Er asked us to be careful in serving, how dare we neglect the uncle? Besides, even if we don't give face to Wan Er Lord, we dare not disobey Yin Catcher's words. .”

Li Qiufeng was startled, and said: "Bootou Yin also looked for you?"

Miao Zhu nodded again and again, and said in his mouth: "That's right. Maybe we can delay some things based on Wan Erye alone. But Yin Butou is a member of the yamen, and he can be regarded as a well-known figure in our Xiuwu County. He personally found the villain and asked the villain to serve the uncle carefully, and he could go to the yamen to withdraw any money and goods. How dare the villain disobey the order of the yamen? As long as the uncle is satisfied, the villain's errands are done well , it can be considered that the uncle loves the villain."

After listening to Master Feng and Yu Fan's words, Li Qiufeng knew a lot about some shady methods in the yamen.Seeing Miaozhu's appearance like this, he thought to himself, Yin Butou must have agreed to benefit this temple, so he was so enthusiastic, not afraid of spending more money, but less money.It's just that the wool comes from the sheep, and the money still has to be plundered from the people in the end.

Thinking of this, he felt even more uneasy, and was about to say that he should stop preparing meals for him.Just thinking about it, this Miaozhu came up with all kinds of tricks, in the final analysis, he wanted to get money from the yamen.Even if he doesn't eat in the Temple of the City God, Miaozhu will definitely lie to the truth and still ask the Yamen for money.Unless he called Yin Butou over and said in front of the two of them that he was not eating in the temple, the temple wisher might not dare to make trouble in the middle.But if he really did this, he would not only offend Miao Zhu, but also offend Captain Yin.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng sighed in his heart, shook his head, and said to Miao Zhu: "Then thank you, sir."

Miao Zhu waved his hands again and again, and said in his mouth: "The villain will not disturb the uncle for dinner. If the uncle has something to do, call the villain to come over at any time." He nodded and bowed back as he spoke, and retreated until he reached the door. Then he opened the door and gently Walked out lightly.
