A knife in love

Chapter 967

After Wan Congyun and Bayuyan finished talking, seeing Li Qiufeng groaning silently, he felt a little uneasy.

After a while, Li Qiufeng said: "The afternoon before the Lantern Festival, the two of you are going to gather people to stand by in this temple. I wonder if it can be done?"

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Wan Congyun knew that he was not suspicious, so he felt relieved and nodded repeatedly.Bayuyan said: "Don't worry, Commander Li, the day after tomorrow afternoon, the villain will definitely bring people to the temple to wait for Commander Li to dispatch."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and glanced at Li Qiufeng with some hesitation.Li Qiufeng said: "Brother, if you have something to say, just say it."

Bayuyan scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, although we have the name of righteous people, the yamen does not allow us to hide swords and weapons. Although we did work for the yamen a few times, we did bring swords. But they were all given to us by the yamen, and they were taken back after the incident. In previous years, during the Lantern Festival, the yamen never asked us to help maintain law and order. Since we were asked to guard the Chenghuang Temple this year, do you see if Can you give us some swords and weapons to deter traitors..."

When Bayuyan said this, he kept silent.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, it's okay to use these market people as guides.If they were to fight the enemy knife-to-knife and gun-to-gun, I'm afraid they would have oiled their feet and slipped away.What's more, these people got the sword, nine times out of ten they will act as a domineering, but disturb the common people.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "This time we are only helping the yamen's tolerance police to maintain law and order. If someone makes trouble, we only need to report the matter to them. The matter of suppressing and arresting people is up to you." All you have to do is to catch them quickly. So don’t think about swords, it’s enough for each person to take a wooden stick that is suitable for him.”

Having said this, Li Qiufeng took out two ingots of silver ingots from his pocket and put them on the table, and said to Wan Congyun and Bayuyan: "Take these two ingots of silver and buy what you need. If you need taels of silver, just come and tell me. In addition, after the Lantern Festival, there will be other rewards from the yamen, and I will hand them over to you two at that time."

Wan Congyun and Bayuyan were originally not enthusiastic about maintaining law and order during the Lantern Festival, thinking it was just a thankless chore.But he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to reluctantly accept it.But when Li Qiufeng took out the silver, each ingot was worth five taels, and he also said that there would be silver rewards after the Lantern Festival, the two were overjoyed.After a few words of push back, he had already firmly held the silver in his hand.

After the two of them collected the money, they thanked Li Qiufeng thousands of times, and patted their chests and boasted that on the day of the Lantern Festival, not even a mouse would slip past their eyes.

At this moment, Li Qiufeng's expression changed.Wan Congyun and Bayuyan didn't know what happened, they thought that Li Qiufeng was disgusted by their flattery, so they hurriedly closed their mouths and stopped talking, with a little embarrassment on their faces.

Li Qiufeng guessed what the two of them were thinking, and said in his mouth: "I want to get angry with you two, but someone came outside."

Wan Congyun and Bayuyan's martial arts are low, so naturally they couldn't hear any strange noises outside the door.However, Li Qiufeng heard someone coming from the courtyard, and the voice of this person was very soft when walking, so it seems that the lightness kung fu is not weak.

Wan Congyun and Bayuyan looked at each other in dismay, when they heard a "bang", the door was kicked open.Then the figure flashed, and someone had already broken into the house.

Wan Congyun and Bayuyan were startled, and couldn't help but took two steps back, only to see an eighteen or nineteen-year-old man in Tsing Yi walk in.The man gave the two of them a cold look, then turned his gaze to Li Qiufeng, and said, "I ordered you to move out of the Town God's Temple immediately by the order of the county magistrate Yu!"

Wan Congyun and Bayuyan saw that the visitor was just a brat, and they were about to step forward and reprimand him for daring to show off in front of Li Qiufeng.But hearing that this person claimed to have obeyed the order of the county magistrate, the two of them took the raised foot back at the same time.

Li Qiufeng was not annoyed when he saw that it was Yu Chengsi who came and spoke very rudely.He said in his mouth: "Your Excellency is in charge of too many things. I borrowed to live in the Town God's Temple, is it hindering him from doing business?"

Yu Chengsi stared at Li Qiufeng viciously, and said in his mouth: "If it is an ordinary temple, you will live in a pile of bones, but no one cares about you. But our Town God's Temple in Xiuwu County is different from temples in other places. It’s different, it’s the property of the county magistrate’s office. Now the Lantern Festival is coming, and Lord Yu ordered the unrelated people to be cleared out, so as not to cause trouble.”

When Yu Chengsi said this, he sneered, and then said: "How about it, Mr. Li, do you go out obediently by yourself, or should I find someone to drag you out from here?"

Seeing Chengsi's vicious eyes, Li Qiufeng wished he could pounce on him and break his own neck. He thought to himself, this man is young and energetic, he speaks and does things without leaving any room, and it is easy for others to see his flaws.It is extremely unwise for Yu Fan to use this person to handle affairs!

While thinking, he slowly sat down on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then you can find someone to drag me out."

Yu Chengsi's face darkened, his eyes were like knives, and he stared straight at Li Qiufeng.After a while, he turned his head and yelled at Wan Congyun and Bayuyan: "Aren't you two dragging him out?"

Li Qiufeng knew that Wan Congyun and Bayuyan were two small people in the market, and they were best at watching their faces and demeanor, and making decisions according to the wind.The two of them naturally knew that Yu Chengsi was a follower of Yu Fan, the county magistrate, and had much higher authority than himself, the unjustly named "Commander of the Righteous People".Since Yu Chengsi gave the order, the two of them must turn against him.

With Li Qiufeng's martial arts, of course he would not be afraid that the three people in the room would be against him.He just didn't expect that Yu Fan would drive him out of the Town God's Temple so soon.Thinking that the Japanese pirates were about to attack, Yu Fan knew that he was the mortal enemy of the Japanese pirates, and he would never let himself interfere with their work in the Temple of the City God, so he tore open his face and used the power of the government to force himself to leave the Temple of the City God.The incident happened in a hurry, and he didn't think of a countermeasure for a while, so he had to delay it for a moment.

Wan Congyun and Bayuyan looked at each other, and then their gazes fell on Li Qiufeng, with embarrassment on their faces.

Li Qiufeng said: "Two brothers, this young master has given an order, why don't you hurry up and arrest me?"

Wan Congyun and Bayuyan didn't dare to make a move, they looked at each other, not only didn't make a move, but took a step back.

Seeing this situation, Yu Chengsi was furious, and shouted at Wan Congyun and Bayuyan: "This is the order of the yamen, you dare not obey, do you still want to hang out in Xiuwu County?!"

When he said this, he seemed to think of something, sneered, turned his head to Li Qiufeng and said, "There is one thing I forgot to say. Mr. Yu has already reported to Huang Zhi County that you have been removed from the position of leader of the righteous people. You were originally a grassroots person, but Master Yu praised you and rewarded you with a job. Unexpectedly, you will repay your kindness and revenge, and you will always make things difficult for Master Yu, and you will end up like this, but it is also a retribution!"

When Yu Chengsi said this, he said to Wan Congyun and Bayuyan: "There are more than a dozen people outside the door, and they are all under the two of you. I will put the words here, whoever caught the surname Li?" Yes, he will be the next commander of righteous people in Xiuwu County!"

Yu Chengsi originally thought that Wan Congyun and Bayuyan would be overjoyed when he said this, and called the dozen or so people outside the door into the room, and together they attacked Li Qiufeng.Yu Chengsi had seen Li Qiufeng's martial arts before, so he naturally didn't dare to imagine that these hooligans could catch Li Qiufeng.It's just that the room is narrow, so these ten people attack Li Qiufeng together, so he can take advantage of it.Even if Li Qiufeng cannot be killed, as long as he commits a murder, he has committed a felony, and Yu Fan can take this opportunity to ask Huang Chong, the magistrate, for orders to arrest Li Qiufeng throughout the city.At that time, not only the Xiuwu County Yamen will arrest Li Qiufeng, but the Luoyang Zhifu Yamen in the city and Henan Yanchasi Yamen will send people to hunt him down.Either Li Qiufeng was captured by the government, or he had to go far away.As long as this person is not around, things will be much easier.

Wan Congyun listened to Yu Chengsi's words, took a step forward, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Commander Li, I'm sorry..."

Li Qiufeng didn't wait for him to finish, he waved his hand and said in his mouth: "What's wrong with you? Brother, don't call me Commander Li anymore. Right now I'm just a commoner, and I don't have any errands on me. You If you want to catch me, just do it with your hands."
