Chapter 7 Are You Confused?

Zhaoyang County, Pingyang Street, Sacred Heart Residence

You have to ask, where is the liveliest place in the world and where is the best-informed place?
That must be a restaurant.

It ranges from martial arts people who are walking around, to diners who drink and speak arrogantly, to waiters in restaurants, and even those little beggars who hang out around restaurants for a long time. If you throw a few taels of silver away, they might be able to give it to you. Spit out three or two secrets about the world.

With such a good news channel, coupled with a good business, it is destined that any larger restaurant is not a simple place.

The same is true for the No. [-] restaurant in Zhaoyang County, Sacred Heart House!
Since the ten saint-level forces carved up the world, no matter what in this world, as long as it has the word "sacred" in its name, it is destined to be extraordinary.

There are nearly 62 counties in Yongzhou's 200 counties, three roads and eight prefectures. Sacred Heart House is everywhere, and its location is often close to the county government office, in the most prosperous and lively area of ​​the city.

It’s self-evident who the boss behind it is.

After all, it is a gathering place for people from all walks of life. Even if it is a Sacred Heart Residence in a small place like Zhaoyang County, a meal will cost at least three to five taels of silver.

You know, two cents for a steamed bun, one tael of silver is equivalent to one hundred cents, and three taels of silver can be enough to cover a month's living expenses for a poorer family of three.

For example, Duan Zhengqi, a true disciple of the third-rate Shanyue Sword Sect, only earns about 500 taels of silver a month through hard work. He wants to eat at the Sacred Heart Residence every day, which is a bit stressful. Other people in the world who are not as good as him, then Not to mention.

Sacred Heart Residence has a rule that no matter where it is opened, it should generally be built with at least three floors.

The first floor receives all warriors from the Kaishen Realm. The food and drinks on sale are all worth less than ten taels of silver. The second floor is a higher level. Only Gangqi Realm warriors can go up. The prices of the food and wine sold are They are all above ten taels and below one hundred taels.

No one knows the standard for the third floor, because the Sacred Heart Residence in Zhaoyang County only has two floors!
In such a situation, the private room on the second floor of Shengxin Residence in Zhaoyang County.There is still a lot of dust in the house.

From this point, we can also see that Zhaoyang County is really weak.

"Of the six counties in Xingnan Prefecture, Sacred Heart Residence in Tongling County has the worst business, and among the three counties in Tongling County, Zhaoyang County has the worst business. It only turns in more than 1 taels of silver every year. This Sacred Heart Residence is also the worst. Yuan Fu, my holy family business, is how you open a restaurant. I think you don’t want to be the shopkeeper anymore!”

On the second floor of Sacred Heart, the shopkeeper Yuan Fu is kneeling on the ground, tremblingly accepting the scolding of the maid in black in front of him. Behind the maid, there are two girls who are similar to hers. They are serving a girl in blue who is near the window at the back. beside.

As a holy religion property, the shopkeepers of Sacred Heart Residence in each county are naturally held by disciples of the holy religion.

Yuan Fu is more than 50 years old this year, and he has ten levels of cultivation. He is only the outermost and outermost disciple in the Holy Cult, so he is nothing, but in the three-acre land in Zhaoyang County, he can rank among the top in terms of status. Wu was already a big shot, but at this moment he was being scolded by the girl in black, but he was so scared that he couldn't even say a word.

From time to time, his eyes would look through the gap formed by the three maids in black and look at the girl in blue who was leaning on the window sill.

The girl in blue looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a dignified posture. She holds a sword in her right hand and holds a scroll in her left hand. Her head is covered with a layer of black gauze. Her eyebrows are sometimes gentle and sometimes solemn. She is like a goddess scanning the sky. View of the first floor of Sacred Heart Residence.

As if aware of Yuan Fu's gaze, the girl in blue turned her head slightly and looked at Yuan Fu calmly.

Those were a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to see through the world. As soon as Yuan Fu met these eyes, his whole body trembled. After three breaths, he suddenly woke up, bit his tongue hard, nodded his head and said: "Holy aunt, three grandma, Yuan Fu deserves death for his crime, but what you don't know is that Zhaoyang County is really too poor. Not to mention the dust on the second floor, even the business on the first floor can hardly survive!
Two years ago, when Black Ape Mohou Tong was not dead, the second floor was somewhat meaningful. At least the county official Ren Feng and him could come in. Now this situation..."

"Black ape demon?"

The girl in blue murmured in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in her tone. Her voice was as soft as water, gentle to the extreme. She gently raised her eyes and looked at the maid in black.

The maid in black who had just scolded Yuan Fu heard her young lady's doubts and hurriedly answered: "Miss, this black ape demon is called Hou Tong. He is a warrior in the Ninggang Realm. He is ranked 819th on the list of righteous little demon slayers. Two years ago, He was killed in Zhaoyang County."

"Two years ago...it was Zhao Ponu of Qinjian Villa who killed him?"

"Yes, it's him!"

The girl in blue nodded. It seemed that because of the mention of the name Zhao Ponu, Gu Jing Wubo's eyes showed a fleeting fluctuation. He glanced at Yuan Fu who was still kneeling on the ground and spoke softly.

"The population in Zhaoyang County is not prosperous, so I can't blame you for the poor business of Sacred Heart Residence. Don't worry, I'm not here for this matter this time. I will be staying in Zhaoyang for a while recently, so this second floor will be freed up for me." Use it!"

When Yuan Fu heard this, his face immediately beamed with joy, he kowtowed humbly and said, "Thank you, holy lady, for sparing your life!"

At this moment, there was a sudden movement from the diners on the first floor. The girl in blue lowered her head and looked down. It turned out to be three tenth-level warriors with strong auras. They were surrounded by a crowd and walked to the round table in the middle to sit down. Down.

The maid in black followed her lady's gaze and immediately looked at Yuan Fu knowingly and asked, "What's going on below?"

Yuan Fu didn't dare to be negligent. He stretched out his head and looked down, and hurriedly explained to the four people.

"Those three are local gangsters in Zhaoyang County. They are the leader of the Qinglang Gang, Tan Gang, the leader of the Flying Eagle Sect, Tie Budong, and the boss of Happy Forest, Gao Cheng. They seem to have colluded with the county leader Ren Feng recently. Let’s deal with the Hou family together…”

The saint in blue and the three maids were not in a hurry, so they simply watched the situation below and listened to Yuan Fu's introduction.

………………

On the first floor of Sacred Heart Residence, the round table in the middle has a total of five seats, three of which are already occupied.

The three people sitting there are all of the same age, about middle-aged in their 40s.

On the far right is a well-dressed thin man in black, with sharp eyes, who is the boss of Happy Lin Gao, Gao Cheng.

In the middle is Tan Gang, the leader of the Green Wolf Gang. He is wearing a yellow robe and has a downcast brow. He holds two round iron beads in his hands and plays with them from time to time. The joints in his hands are thick, which is obviously caused by playing with the two iron beads all year round. .

The taller one on the far left is Tie Budong, the master of the Flying Eagle Sect. He has thick limbs and large facial features. He has a broad face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his skin is dark. If it were not for the purple brocade robe that sets it off, Just like an ordinary farmer.

Behind the three people, there were seven or eight people standing respectively. They were obviously top-notch followers and had extraordinary momentum.

After the three people sat down, they all looked calm and silent, obviously in bad mood. They didn't stand up at the same time until they saw an old man in purple walking in the door.

"Tie Budong pays homage to the County Lord!"

"Tan Gang meets with the county magistrate!"

"Gao Cheng pays homage to the county magistrate."

Except for Gao Cheng, who seemed to be not good at dealing with people and his face was slightly stiff when he stepped forward to salute, Tie Budong and Tan Gang both had smiles on their faces and stepped forward to greet Ren Feng cordially, with humble postures. , obviously well versed in flattery.

Although the old man in purple clothes is still tall and tall, there is an obvious aura of decay in his body, which is only seen when you reach a certain age.

This is indeed the case. Ren Feng has served as the Zhaoyang County Lord for more than 20 years. Although he has cultivated the Gang Qi realm, he is still only in the first realm of Condensation. At the age of 132, he can have such a high spirit now. Already very good.

"You don't need to say more. My adopted son failed to discipline his family and allowed Hou Yucheng to act recklessly in Nanling Mountain. I put this stage today just to teach him a lesson. We'll talk about it when he comes... we'll talk about it when he comes."

Ren Feng's words brought a smile to the faces of the three of them. Tie Budong stepped forward and said flatteringly: "It is a blessing for the people of Zhaoyang to have a county official like Mr. Ren who understands justice well!"

Tan Gang followed closely and said with a smile: "How can we allow the Hou family to act arrogantly in Zhaoyang if the county magistrate comes forward?"

Only Boss Gao didn't respond, he just cupped his hands and expressed his thanks.

The three of them welcomed Ren Feng to the round table and sat down. Afterwards they chatted for a few words and then waited quietly for Hou Yuxiao to appear.

But after waiting until the end of noon, Hou Yuxiao did not appear, and the expressions on the four people's faces became more and more strange.

Especially Ren Feng's expression, which had been calm just now, became increasingly gloomy.

Today he was the host to invite Hou Yuxiao, and the agreed time was at noon, and now the afternoon has passed, and Hou Yuxiao hasn't arrived yet, this is obviously a slap in the face of his adoptive father!
Seeing the change in Ren Feng's expression, Tie Budong and the others realized this problem in their minds, and they all felt a little gloating in their hearts.

"The head of the Hou family has arrived!"

Just when Ren Feng's face was ashen and he was about to stand up and get angry, the voice of the servant at the door sounded, and everyone turned their heads to look outside the door, and their pupils shrank slightly.

A team of about thirty people, uniformly dressed in black and powerful, headed by Hou Fei, was slowly walking out of the door. They were full of blood, and they were all warriors no lower than the fifth level. .

In Zhaoyang County, reaching the tenth level is already the ceiling. Among the four major forces, warriors who have reached the fifth level or above can be said to have high-end combat power. Not to mention the three Tiebu Dong families, they are the county government. There are less than twenty at most.

The Shanhou clan can only produce thirty, not to mention that the leader Hou Fei has the eighth level of cultivation, which would make any of the three families a master who can stand alone.

"The Hou family's strength has grown too fast in the past two years, and they must be stopped."

Tiebudong, Tan Gang, Gao Cheng, and even the county official Ren Feng all came up with this idea in their minds.

Seeing Hou Yuxiao, who was dressed in green clothes, slowly walking towards the round table with an indifferent expression, Tie Budong's expression flashed, and he pretended to smile and said: "Boss Hou has just arrived. I'm so late. Please sit down." ...please take a seat!”

This was obviously a deliberate attempt to mention Hou Yuxiao's lateness in front of Ren Feng. As expected, Ren Feng's already livid face became even more gloomy.

"Do I have a habit of arriving early?"

However, no one expected that Hou Yuxiao's cold response would not only fail to give Tie Budong face, he would not even spare Ren Feng's face, and directly passed him and sat on the table without even saying hello...

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Ren Feng is Hou Yuxiao's adoptive father. Although everyone knows that this is just a deal between Hou Tong and Ren Feng in the early years, but taking a step back, Ren Feng is still the only Gang Qi realm in Zhaoyang County. Master!
Hou Yuxiao is too arrogant...

What is the way?
Ren Feng's brows jumped sharply, and his heart was obviously extremely angry. However, Tie Budong and the other two people who noticed this scene were overjoyed and looked at Ren Feng with great expectation, wishing that he would kill Hou Yuxiao.

But he didn't expect that after Ren Feng shook angrily twice, he actually took back his anger.

Not only that, he even forced a smile on his face before he stood up from the round table and spoke.

"Now that Yuxiao has arrived, I won't hold back. I invite you all here today to resolve the matter between the second son of the Hou family and Tie Tucheng on Nanling Mountain!

Although Tie Tucheng did make a mistake by glaring at Hou Yucheng first, but Hou Yucheng killed thirty people from Feiyingmen, which is really wrong..."

Tie Budong and the others were still surprised that Ren Feng could suppress his anger. When they heard Ren Feng's warm words, which were obviously different from his previous statement, their expressions suddenly changed. They were about to interrupt Ren Feng, but they didn't. Thinking that someone had made a sound before them.

"There is something wrong with my second son killing someone!"

Ren Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking that Hou Yuxiao had given up. A hint of joy suddenly rose in his heart, as did the other three people. But what Hou Yuxiao said next made their expressions freeze instantly.

"But... you also know that his name is Hou Lao Er. When he comes out to do things, he supports my Hou family and is the signature of my boss Hou!"
Whoever dares to glare at him means that he is not giving me the face of the Hou family, and is not giving me the face of Boss Hou. Who dares not to give me the face of Boss Hou in this three-acre land in Zhaoyang County? Do you dare?You dare……"

Hou Yuxiao's overbearing and domineering voice resounded in the Sacred Heart Residence, and there was a complete silence all around, especially after he finished the last sentence, he turned his head and asked Tie Budong and Tan Gang, that domineering aura matched the fierce His tone of voice, the strength revealed, really calmed the two of them.

The two of them felt Hou Yuxiao's ten-fold peak aura, and their hearts trembled slightly. Before they could respond, they saw Hou Yuxiao turn his head to the county's Ren Feng.

"Are you old and confused? Who do you think you are if you dare to imitate others and put on a show? Don't think that just because you taught me two tricks in the early years, you can talk nonsense in front of me. I won't give face to anyone who doesn't listen to your words!
You are old, over 100 years old. You are sitting in your position as a county magistrate. You are better off making some money than anything else. You are so happy after being complimented for a few words. Before you come out to support others, you are also You have to consider your own abilities, don’t fail to stand up and throw all your money into the coffin..."
