Great Song catcher

Chapter 6 Lottery
Nie Feng left the martial arts arena, walked around the corridor in the backyard, and came to the main hall.

Lu Chengfeng, the chief arrester of the Six Doors in Youzhou, was chatting with a middle-aged Confucian scholar.

Dressed in white clothes leisurely and elegant, like a scholar.

However, Lu Chengfeng is not only the head arrester of the six sects of Youzhou, but also one of the eight heavenly rank head arresters of the six sects in the entire Song Dynasty, and his martial arts cultivation is at its peak.

It is said that he has surpassed the category of innate masters and reached the state of perfection, and has never had a defeat in 20 years.

Nie Feng walked in and saluted Lu Chengfeng with his fists in his hands: "My lord, do you need me?"

"It's not me looking for you, it's this distinguished guest looking for you."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and pointed to the middle-aged Confucian scholar beside him.

Hearing Lu Chengfeng's words, Nie Feng turned around in a strange way, took a closer look, and immediately saluted, "I've seen Mr. Ma before, but I'm so blind that I didn't show the courtesy. Please forgive me."

It turned out that this middle-aged Confucian scholar was actually a feudal official in Youzhou who herded horses like mountains and was in charge of the entire Youzhou Road.

Last night, Nie Feng captured Hua Yudie in his official residence, but because of the darkness of the night and the fact that Lord Ma was not wearing an official uniform today, Nie Feng did not recognize her for a while.

"Boss Nie, you don't have to be polite. I'm here to find you today." Master Ma stood up and smiled.

"Find me?"

Nie Feng looked at Lu Chengfeng with some doubts.

Lu Chengfeng explained: "Last night you captured Hua Yudie and saved Miss Ma. Mrs. Ma came to pay special thanks today."

Nie Feng shook his head and said: "Master Ma is serious. As a policeman of the Six Doors, it is my duty to hunt down the murderer. What's more, as a Shepherd of Youzhou, it is also my duty to protect your family."

"Anyway, it was Detective Nie who saved my daughter quickly. If you hadn't acted in time, Hua Yudie would have succeeded, and the consequences would have been disastrous..."

Mr. Ma shook his head, still a little scared, and took a box from the hand of the servant behind him.

"Although I have been an official for many years, I have no possessions. This is something I got by accident when I was young. It is useless to stay with me for many years. Today is the right to thank you. I also ask Captain Nie to accept it quickly." .”

With that said, Master Ma handed over the box.

"This……"

Nie Feng frowned slightly, and when he was about to refuse, Lu Chengfeng said, "Nie Feng, since it's Master Ma's wish, you can accept it."

"grown ups……"

Lu Chengfeng nodded to him.

"Well, obedience is worse than respect in a humble position."

Seeing this, Nie Feng had no choice but to thank Mr. Ma, and then took the wooden box with both hands.

Only then did Mr. Ma smile with satisfaction, looked at Lu Chengfeng who was beside him, and said, "Boss Lu, it's getting late now, I have reserved a banquet in Wangyue Tower, and I also invite Boss Lu and Nie Hurry up and reward yourself and go together.”

Moon Tower.

The largest restaurant in Youzhou City, like the Yuelai Inn, is owned by Jin Sihai, the owner of Jinshan Yinhaizhuang, and his business spread throughout the territory of the Song Dynasty, even outside the customs.

But today, besides Nie Feng and the other three, there was another person who came here.

In the private room, Zhao Kang was sitting by the window, looking out absently, as if he was waiting for someone.

After about a cup of tea, there was a sudden knock on the door of the private room, and then the door was pushed open, and the waiter walked in with a skinny middle-aged man.

Seeing this person, Zhao Kang stood up from his chair, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Master Liu, you kept me waiting."

"Master Zhao, please forgive me. I am really busy with business and cannot escape. Please forgive me, Master Zhao."

Master Liu smiled wryly, and bowed back with his fists clasped.

"It's okay, sir, please sit down!"

After the two of them sat down, the waiter also brought out the food and wine.

"Go on, don't let anyone bother us."

After the food and wine were served, Zhao Kang waved his hand, indicating that the waiter could go down, and he stuffed a broken piece of silver into his hand.

"Don't worry, son, the little one will go down first."

The waiter received the reward, closed the door with a smile on his face, and left the private room.

"Young Master Zhao invited me to a banquet today. I must have something to do. I would like to ask Young Master Zhao to speak frankly and eat the meal later."

Master Liu glanced at the food and wine on the table, looked up at Zhao Kang and asked.

"Mr. is indeed wise, so I will not hide it."

Zhao Kang drank the wine in his glass, "Tomorrow is the day of the six-door promotion assessment. I heard that for so many years, the selection of assessment tasks has been controlled by Mr. Liu alone, isn't it?"

"That's right, what does Mr. Zhao mean?"

Master Liu behaved so calmly that no one could see what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. As far as I know, in order to ensure fairness, the assessment tasks over the years have been drawn by lottery. I just hope that you can do me a little favor in this process. Of course, I won't let you In vain."

Zhao Kang took out a small wooden box from his arms, and pushed it in front of Mr. Liu, "These things are small wishes, and I will give them a big thank you after they are done."

Mr. Liu's small triangular eyes shone brightly, and he opened a gap in the wooden box. After seeing the contents clearly, a smile appeared on his thin face, and he said, "Mr. Zhao is too polite, what can I do for you?" , please say it straight, even if it’s not for other people’s sake, I have to do it for Mr. Zhao’s sake.”

In the six gates of Youzhou, besides Lu Chengfeng, the chief arrester, there are two vice chief arresters to assist him. One of them is Zhao Kang's second uncle, a congenital master, and Zhao Kangneng is also the master of the six gates. backing.

"I hope that when the lottery is drawn in the afternoon, Mr. Liu can use a little bit of tricks to let someone draw one that is enough for him..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Kang showed a ruthless look in his eyes, and gestured with his right hand under his neck.

"Who?"

Zhao Kang spit out a name with a sullen face.

"Nie Feng!"

"Nie Juyun's son?"

Zhao Kang nodded and said, "That's right, it's him. I don't know if Mister can do it?"

"There should be no problem with this matter. His father has been dead for many years, and I have no scruples. However, I can't guarantee whether it will succeed."

Director Liu didn't say anything to death, but left some leeway.

"As long as you do your best, no matter if you succeed or not, I will give you a big thank you."

"Good to say, good to say..."

The two people on this side are chatting and laughing happily.

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the private room seemed a little heavy.

Zhao Kang would never have imagined that next door to their private room was the place where Master Ma hosted Nie Feng and Lu Chengfeng.

Nie Feng picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, chewing it slowly, not showing any emotion.

Master Ma's expression was also quite ugly. As for Lu Chengfeng, although he couldn't see anything, anyone who knew him well knew that Lu Chengfeng was really angry.

"Boss Lu, this is a family matter of your six doors. I, an outsider, shouldn't be the one to talk too much, but..."

Mr. Ma finished his sentence halfway, but did not continue. After all, Lu Chengfeng, as the head arrester of the Six Sects of Youzhou, was not inferior to him in terms of official position.

This meal was extremely depressing, the three basically didn't speak much, and after eating, they parted ways and left.

On the way, Lu Chengfeng said, "What do you think?"

Nie Feng said indifferently: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up."

Lu Chengfeng glanced at him meaningfully, nodded slightly, seemed relieved, and said with a light smile, "Very good, very good..."

Back to the six doors, Nie Feng walked into his room, sat on the couch and stroked his long sword.

"Zhao Kang, in order to kill me, you are really deliberate, you don't leave yourself a way out at all..."

There was a crisp dragon roar.

The Bi Liu sword was unsheathed, and a green light flashed in the room.

"Then don't blame me. If you use this sword to kill people, you will definitely not feel pain. This can be regarded as fulfilling the little friendship between you and me in the past."

A rare killing intent appeared in Nie Feng's eyes...

…………

afternoon.

On the martial arts arena.

All the arresters from the six gates of Youzhou gathered here.

Lu Chengfeng, the Chief Catcher of the Six Doors, sat at the top, and sitting beside him were Wu Lin, the Hand of the Heavenly Gang, and Zhao Jue, the Palm of the Benlei, and the two Vice Chief Catchers.

This Zhao Jue is Zhao Kang's uncle, and also his greatest support, otherwise, with Zhao Kang's behavior, he would have died on the street long ago.

"My lord, you can begin."

Tiangang hand Wu Lin said to Lu Chengfeng.

"Wu Lin, you will be the chief examiner for this year's promotion assessment."

"Yes, my lord!"

Wu Lin got up and left his seat, came to the martial arts arena, and said to many outside policemen on the field: "I won't go into details about the details of the assessment, you all know it very well, I just want to say one thing, if Those of you who think you are not strong enough, you can quit now and join in two years later, don’t take chances, because you may die at any time during the mission.”

"Anyone want to quit?"

Originally there were more than 30 outsiders on the court, but after listening to Wu Lin's words, more than half of them were quickly reduced, and there were only less than ten people left. It's more than enough to become a yellow-level policeman, but the rules of the six doors are there, and no one can violate them.

Among the few remaining people were Nie Feng and Fang Xiao.

"Okay, let's start drawing lots now." Wu Lin beckoned, Master Liu came up with two people, Master Liu in front, and the two behind, holding a copper box in their hands.

"Who will come first?"

Master Liu smiled and looked at several people, Nie Feng sneered in his heart, this Master Liu is a typical villain.

Two-faced three swords, talking about people when seeing people, talking nonsense when seeing ghosts.

"I'll come first!"

A burly man walked over, randomly took out a note from the copper box, opened it and said, "My mission is to destroy the Black Wind Village!"

With the leader, others also walked over to take their own tasks, only Nie Feng stood still.

Fang Xiao came back with a note and asked, "Brother Feng, why don't you go?"

"What's the task you drew?" Nie Feng asked back.

Fang Xiao spread out the note and said, "It is to kill the three Taihang tigers."

"Three Tigers of the Taihang... With your martial arts, as long as you are careful, you can deal with them."

Then, Nie Feng looked at Mr. Liu and said, "I'm the only one left now. Does Mr. Liu have anything to say to me?"

Master Liu said with a half-smile: "My nephew is the son of Brother Yun, and even Hua Yudie is not your opponent. This assessment task must be easy to grasp."

"is it?"

Nie Feng glanced at him with a half-smile, walked over and took out the note from the box.

"Nie Feng, what is the task you drew?" the burly man shouted.

Nie Feng opened the note and smiled.

"My task..." Nie Feng raised his head and looked around, "It is to bring Jiang Zuo Qijian to justice!"
