I forced the master to be the leader

Chapter 12 Bounty Missions
Shopkeeper Zhuang snorted, raised his head and asked, "Did the guest offer a reward?"

The steward said: "The guest offered a reward of 1000 taels of silver."

Shopkeeper Zhuang pondered for a while: "Bring the guests in!"

"As ordered!"

After a while, the steward brought a young man in. He was dressed in green clothes and a small hat, dressed as an ordinary businessman, with an anxious expression on his face:
"Boss shopkeeper, please help me find someone who can heal my injuries... Master, my master has spoken, as long as someone can help him heal his injuries, he is willing to give 1000 taels of silver!"

As he spoke, he took out a two-hundred-liang silver bill from his pocket and placed it on the tea table in front of the shopkeeper Zhuang as a commission to pay the Nanjie Commercial Bank.

Shopkeeper Zhuang got up and saluted: "What's your name, brother?"

The young man said: "My name is Lin Feng."

Shopkeeper Zhuang nodded: "According to our store's rules for issuing bounty tasks, I still need to ask Brother Lin to explain the situation in detail."

Lin Feng hurriedly said: "It's like this, my master got up last night and accidentally fell off the bed... Now he can't get out of bed! Therefore, he came here to look for an expert in bone setting and healing."

Orthopedic healing?

1000 two rewards?

As a small successful person who started as a small contractor in Blue Star, Jiang Daqiao immediately sensed a business opportunity...

Jiang Daqiao knew that releasing bounty tasks in the store was another way for Nanjie Commercial Bank to make money.

In this world where communication is not well developed, employers often come to Nanjie Commercial Bank to issue "reward tasks". As long as someone accepts the task, Nanjie Commercial Bank will serve as a "posting platform" and the match will be considered successful. Pay a commission.

As for the final completion of the bounty task, it has nothing to do with the Southern Boundary Trading Company.

As for the content of the "bounty mission", there are all kinds of things, such as escorting treasures, searching for people on the mountain, picking a herb in the miasma forest, and returning the corpse to the hometown...

According to what Jiang Daqiao had heard, there was another task with the highest reward... flower arrangement.

In fact, it is slang, "flower arrangement" is to kill.

Compared with various bounty missions that are dangerous and abnormal, coming to the door to set bones and heal the wounds of a master, but the reward is as high as 1000 taels of silver, it is indeed a very cost-effective mission.

Because the Nanjie Trading Company is the largest martial arts trading company in Guanxi County, many qi refiners come and go here every day, and there are also "dao masters" who can make alchemy and heal injuries.

Therefore, it is reasonable to come to the Southern Boundary Trading Firm to offer a reward for a wound healing mission.

Jiang Daqiao's thoughts changed sharply: "This bounty task must be accepted by my master!"

1000 taels of silver is not... the most important thing, after all, compared to the amount I have to pay, this 1000 taels is just a drop in the bucket.

What he values ​​more is that through this bounty task, he can temper his master's will, improve his master's self-cultivation, and get to know a few noble people by the way...

Just like the master behind Lin Feng, he has a big picture, and he can pay 1000 taels of silver for any casual move.

Besides, my master often goes out to treat people, isn't it his old profession to set bones and heal injuries?

Jiang Daqiao knew very well that a good job waits for no one. Once this bounty task is released in the Southern Border Commercial Bank, a group of Qi refiners will gather around to grab the "order" every minute.

With his mind set, Jiang Daqiao didn't hesitate to pull shopkeeper Zhuang aside: "Treasurer Zhuang, take a step to speak!"

When he reached the door, Jiang Daqiao whispered, "Master Zhuang, I don't think there is any need to release this bounty task to the public!"

Shopkeeper Zhuang hummed and looked at Jiang Daqiao suspiciously.

"Do you think this customer is in a hurry to take someone back to treat his master's injury? If you want to talk about bone setting and healing, there happens to be a master here!"

Shopkeeper Zhuang asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"

Jiang Daqiao: "It must be my master ore elder!"

Shopkeeper Zhuang: "Ore Presbyterians will heal the wound?"

"Why not? Apart from alchemy, my master is best at bone setting and healing.

Let me tell you this, in our Iron Sword Sect, whenever any disciple or elder gets injured during practice, he will seek my master for treatment.

In any case, this bounty task must be accepted by my master! "

Shopkeeper Zhuang Da smiled and said: "Okay, then it's settled. If the ore elder happens to be good at bone setting and healing, then it would be best to entrust this bounty task to your master and apprentice."

Shopkeeper Zhuang wondered if the master and apprentice owed the firm more than 2 taels of silver, and he didn't know if they could get it back tomorrow. Although the current task of treating injuries was only 1000 taels, it was better than nothing.

……

After Zhuang Da's shopkeeper finished his work, Jiang Daqiao went to look for the ore elder. The ore elder was still discussing the 109th usage requirements of the earth-level alchemy furnace with the old craftsman.

Jiang Daqiao called the ore elder aside and whispered in his ear, "Master, there is a happy event!"

The ore elder was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?"

"Congratulations, Master. Just now, the treasurer Zhuang Da said that for your sake, Master, Nanjie Commercial Bank is going to cooperate with our Xiaodan Peak for a long time. In order to show our sincerity, I just entrusted you with a good job!"

"What kind of errand?"

Jiang Daqiao briefly talked about the bounty tasks of "setting the bones of a master who fell from the bed" and "rewarding 1000 taels".

In order to get the master to readily agree, Jiang Daqiao naturally made the matter of healing his injuries trivial, and the 1000 taels of silver were not much different from Bai Jian.

When the ore elder heard that this was indeed a good thing, the 1000 taels of silver won for nothing was not profitable, after all, it was Xiaodanfeng who needed to spend a large amount of silver now.

As for bone setting and healing, for a senior alchemist like him, it was not a difficult task.

"Well, since shopkeeper Zhuang said so, we naturally can't refute his face."

At that moment, the ore elder asked Jiang Daqiao to take out the bag from the deposit, opened the bag, and took out a small medicine box.

When Jiang Daqiao saw this medicine box, he was immediately overjoyed. He originally blamed his master for carrying all kinds of things, but now he admires him for his... foresight.

Next, according to the practice of "bounty missions", the employer Lin Feng was arranged to meet the ore master's apprentice, and the shopkeeper Zhuang Da naturally spoke a few words about the experience of the ore master's "bone-setting and healing".

Of course, according to the rules of the Southern Boundary Trading Company, the treasurer Zhuang Da did not mention the sect of the ore elder, but referred to him as "this Taoist leader".

After a while, with Lin Feng leading the way, when they got out of the Nanjie Commercial Firm, there was a carriage waiting on the road, and it was also four-wheeled with a canopy.

"Brother Lin, your shopkeeper is doing a lot of business, right?"

Along the way, Jiang Daqiao became very interested in this employer, and a follower directly offered 200 taels of silver, which showed the strength of the master behind him.

"Big, it must be big."

"Brother Lin Feng, what kind of business does your boss do?"

"Not necessarily, anyway, you can do whatever you want to get money from."

Lin Feng responded while urging the driver to hurry up.

Hmph, it's amazing to be rich!

Jiang Daqiao could tell that this Lin surnamed didn't seem to want to talk to him. He looked back at his master, and the eyes of the ore elder met his, and then he set his eyes on Lin Feng's right hand.

After a cup of tea, the carriage stopped at an inn in the western suburbs of the county town.

Jiang Daqiao got off the car and looked up at the signboard: "Ping An Inn".

The three of them went up to the second floor and came to the door of a guest room. Lin Feng knocked on the door lightly three times.

A vigilant voice immediately came from inside: "Who is it?"

Lin Feng whispered: "It's me, Lin Feng!"

The door opened, and Jiang Daqiao sniffed his nose. What he smelled was not a business opportunity, but a smell of blood!

The person who came to open the door was a strong man, holding a long sword in his left hand, his upper body was bare, and there was a bandaged wound on his left shoulder, and blood was still oozing out.

The room was dark, the windows were tightly closed, and only one candle was lit on the table.

The ore elder and Jiang Daqiao were hesitating when they were pushed in by Lin Feng behind them.

Lin Feng locked the door and said, "Brother Liao, this Taoist priest claims to be a master at healing wounds."

At this time, Lin Feng suddenly had a dagger in his hand, and compared to just now, there was a more fierce look between his brows.

This is not a businessman at all, and of course this "Master" must not have fallen off the bed. It seems that this situation is either caused by gang fights or the pursuit of enemies.

Jiang Daqiao knew that, according to the Tao, the master and apprentice had "stepped on a hole" today.
