A knife in love

Chapter 949

This official was none other than Yu Fan, the magistrate of Xiuwu County.Since Li Qiufeng met this person in Luoyang City, he has fought against the enemy side by side several times, and he has a good impression of this person.It's just that after having an in-depth talk with this person, I realized that he is also a person who is keen on official career, so I became contemptuous.Seeing Yu Fan appearing at this time, Li Qiufeng just cupped his hands and said calmly, "So it's Mr. Yu. Caomin didn't go out to greet him, so please forgive me."

Yu Fan showed embarrassment on his face, and said with a sneer, "Brother Li is being polite. I originally thought that I would go to the Town God's Temple to look for Brother Li after meeting these heads. I didn't expect Brother Li to be here too. It would be the best."

Li Qiufeng glanced at him, but did not speak.Liu Yong didn't know what was wrong with the two of them. Seeing the embarrassing situation, he hastily stepped forward two steps, standing between Li Qiufeng and Yu Fan intentionally or unintentionally, clasped his fists and said, "Lord County Prime Minister, I don't know if you are here, what advice do you have? "

Yu Fan was not angry when Li Qiufeng dealt with him in a lukewarm manner. He turned to Liu Yong and said, "Early this morning, Mr. Liang Huanliang from Henan's yamen came to our Xiuwu County. I am here to inform all the masters that Mr. Liang is under strict control. If all the friends from the rivers and lakes cause troubles in the city and fall into the hands of Mr. Liang, I am afraid that things will be troublesome. Therefore, all masters are asked to restrain the disciples Brother, you must not harass the people and cause trouble."

Liu Yong and others felt a little unhappy when they heard what Yu Fan said.Liu Yong had a profound self-cultivation skill, but he just nodded and didn't speak.Although Feng Jie's lingering poison has not cleared and his injuries have not healed, but his temper is like a fire, and there is no sand in his eyes.As soon as Yu Fan finished speaking, he said loudly: "Master Huang, what are you talking about? When did we ever harass the people after we arrived in Xiuwu County? Could it be that we were willing to take the risk yesterday to help the court break down those demons outside the city? Is it okay to harass the people?!"

Yu Fan's face was quite embarrassed, he coughed a few times, and then said: "The heads have helped the court a lot, both Huangzhi County and Han Zhifu have seen it personally, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that Mr. Liang has just arrived in Xiuwu County I'm afraid I don't know the situation in the city, and misunderstandings will easily occur. Huangzhi County is also worried about the losses of all Jianghu friends, so I let the official come to inform. For example, last night, many Jianghu friends wanted to leave the city overnight. But the city gate Already locked, these people actually clashed with the city guards, trying to break through the city gate and rush out of the city. The defenders captured more than 20 people. Early this morning, the prefect of Han ordered them to be released. But Mr. Liang It's already arrived. If something like this happens again today, even if prefect Han and Master Huang want to protect them, they will be powerless. The leaders are all great heroes and heroes who are admired by everyone in the rivers and lakes. Naturally, they know In general, take the overall situation into consideration. When Mr. Huang told everyone about this matter, it was definitely not because he was worried about them, but he just begged them to restrain other gangs so as not to cause trouble."

Yu Fan's words not only explained the matter clearly, but also intentionally or unintentionally elevated the status of the four heads, which was very good-looking for the four of them.So Feng Jie nodded in satisfaction, and Liu Yong and others secretly praised Yu Fan for being very good at talking.At that moment, Liu Yong said: "Master Yu, you can rest assured that we will definitely restrain the disciples of our sect and will not cause trouble. As for other gangs and factions, Liu will also go to discuss with the gang leaders and heads, so as not to cause any trouble. .”

Yu Fan smiled and said: "It's the best. Master Liang has brought two to three hundred capable police officers. Our strength has greatly increased. Even if there are enemies who want to harm Xiuwu County, they will have to return home. Master Huang said Alright, after this matter is settled, our Xiuwu County Yamen will send you heroes out of the city with a great gift."

After Liu Yong and others said a few words of humility, Yu Fan left immediately.It's just that when he wanted to greet Li Qiufeng, Li Qiufeng just cupped his hands and didn't speak.Yu Fan had to force a smile before turning around and leaving.

After Yu Fan left, Chu Danyang couldn't help but said to Li Qiufeng: "Hero Li, you seem to be very dissatisfied with this surname Yu. Could it be that you can make a knot?"

Li Qiufeng talked about the things between himself and Yu Fan before.After Liu Yong and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.Liu Yong said: "The county magistrate speaks very decently. He looks like an old official who has been in the officialdom for many years. What he said to brother Li are all mature and prudent words, but there is nothing wrong with it. The so-called people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. In the officialdom, they have to follow the crowd. Brother Li, don't be angry with him because of these trivial things."

Li Qiufeng said: "The younger generation is not angry with this person, it's just that he finds that his words and deeds are inconsistent, and he doesn't bother to share the same path with this person."

Xu Chenghe said: "Dealing with imperial officials is the most troublesome thing. If you get too close to them, you will inevitably arouse criticism from your colleagues in the Jianghu. Always prevent them from playing tricks behind their backs and using us as a stepping stone for their promotion. Although Li Daxia doesn't like this person, he can't openly turn against him, lest there will be troubles."

When Xu Chenghe said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Since the governor's office has sent important officials to Xiuwu County, and the strength of the government has greatly increased, should we stay here and help them fight against the Japanese pirates?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes swept across the faces of Liu Yong and Chu Danyang, and finally fell on Li Qiufeng.Liu Yongdao: "Ji Dingzhong came to see us last night and deliberately told us that the Japanese pirates had changed in Xiuwu County. His purpose was to use us to deal with the Japanese pirates. He and the four families behind him, Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du, all hoped Let's fight with the Japanese pirates, so that they can reap the benefits of the fisherman. Now that we have insight into their plot, it is best to leave Xiuwu County immediately. But the Japanese pirates have never shown up, and the Yagyu family has been spying on them in all likelihood. Side. With the ability of Liusheng Zongyan, I am afraid that Ji Dingzhong is not the opponent of the Japanese pirates. Once Liusheng Zongyan and the Japanese pirates succeed in their conspiracy and control Fengmen Village, it will not be easy to destroy it. Therefore, even if we stay in Xiu Wuxian City is in great danger, but right now, you can’t just walk away and let the Japanese bandits do evil.”

After hearing this, Chu Danyang and others nodded again and again.Feng Jie frowned and said: "Fortunately, we have already seen Ji Dingzhong's tricks. When we deal with Japanese pirates, we will naturally guard against the Nie family's mischief, so that we will not be taken advantage of by these villains. Therefore, these officials in Xiuwu County, Whether it's Hu Kun, Han Qusi, or Huang Chong, they don't pose much threat to us right now. But this new official surnamed Liang, what kind of person is he?"

Li Qiufeng said: "When I was in Luoyang, I heard people talking about this person. The standard department is what the common people say, and the official name should be called 'Ti Xun Juan Si', who is in charge of litigation in a province and arrests criminals. The position is only under the governor and chief envoy, and he is a senior official of the third rank. However, this Lord Liang Huanliang's official reputation is not very good. When people talk about this person, they often call him a stupid official and a mediocre official. This person went to Xiuwu County , I'm afraid it won't help, but it will cause bad things."

Chu Danyang sighed, and said: "In today's world, from the imperial court to the local government, how many good officials are there? They are like hungry wolves, searching for the people everywhere, and doing everything they can. People like Ji Dingzhong and Zhang Baixing are vicious. , if you become an official, I am afraid that you will be even more vicious to the common people. We are here to help these people, and it is hard to calm down when you think about it."

Liu Yong said: "Master Chu, don't be angry. We stayed for the sake of the people of Xiuwu County, and we didn't want to help these stupid and corrupt officials. After the matter is completed, we will leave immediately. We will definitely not be with these people." The officials are colluding and helping the tyrant to do evil."

Xu Chenghe said: "Mr. Liu is right. Right now we have to calm down. We have to deal with Japanese pirates and guard against Ji Dingzhong and others. After a while, we will split up and say hello to the leaders of the various gangs left behind. Everyone in the rivers and lakes is also prepared."

Several people discussed again, and then Li Qiufeng bid farewell to Liu Yong and others, and went straight back to the Town God's Temple.It was almost noon at this time, Miao Zhu had been waiting in front of the door of the wing room in the backyard, and when he saw Li Qiufeng arrived, the temple owner hurriedly ordered the old servant to bring wine and food for Li Qiufeng.He poured a glass of wine for Li Qiufeng himself, and said in a trembling voice: "If it wasn't for the help of the old man last night, the villain's life would have been lost long ago. From now on, if the uncle has something to do, just say it. If the villain frowns, my mother I didn't turn on the lamp when I made the villain!"
