I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Chapter 55: Comprehensive Division of Labor
Senior Brother Tian's name is Tian Yuan, and he is also one of the more outstanding disciples in the martial arts school. His strength is comparable to that of Chen Yingjie.

After the autumn hunt, the performance of Songhe Martial Arts School really eased the original predicament. The previous employers of the ten senior brothers quickly renewed their contracts and renegotiated the price.

Moreover, many other employers came to the door, including some who had cooperated with Songhe Martial Arts School five years ago, and they knew each other quite well.

Senior Brother Tian and the four of them were invited by such an "old acquaintance" half a month ago.

Unexpectedly, only half a month later, something went wrong.

When Su Hanshan came to the main hall, he saw that his second uncle and senior brother were there. Senior brother Tian Yuan and the four of them had some minor injuries. After bandaging, they also accompanied them in the hall.

The old acquaintance, Shopkeeper Han, had a very good attitude. Although he lost a batch of goods, he did not appear aggressive and was eager to ask Songhe Martial Arts School to be responsible for the aftermath and compensation.

He himself was a little embarrassed, holding one of Su Tieyi's hands with both hands, and repeatedly thanked Senior Brother Tian Yuan and others for their life-saving grace.

It seemed that he was frightened by those bandits, but from what he said, thanks to the escort of Senior Brother Arita and others, he and his family members escaped, and no one was seriously injured or killed. He was very lucky.

"How come there are bandits in Cangshui County?"

Su Hanshan asked beside the senior brother with some confusion.

In his impression, since his birth, Cangshui County had never heard of any large-scale bandits.

The forces of the five major martial arts schools are located at the junction of the county's residential areas and the mountains. There are also a total of [-] county police officers inside to patrol the security day and night, so that no bandits can survive in the vicinity.

Even in the surrounding counties, there is relatively little news about bandits.

"They are not in our county. They are bandits encountered in the border area between Cangshui County and Shihao County."

Zhou Zifan explained in a low voice, "I think he came from Shanyang County."

"In September, I heard in the restaurant that as a large number of refugees came north, many of the local bandits in Shanyang also fled abroad."

"The refugees have a difficult journey, but the bandits are mostly fierce and powerful. They often rush ahead of the refugees and wreak havoc through villages, towns and counties."

Just as he was explaining to Su Hanshan, shopkeeper Han over there was also comforted and went to rest first.

With only my family members left in the main hall, it would be easier to talk about something.

"The matter of Shopkeeper Han is the first trouble that needs to be solved after our martial arts school has hope of revitalization. It must be handled safely."

Su Tieyi said, "No matter what his attitude is, we must definitely compensate according to the rules. Zifan, you are in charge of the accounts now. How long do you think it will take us to compensate?"

When they heard the topic of money, everyone looked sad, and Senior Brother Tian Yuan and others even sighed and lowered their heads.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zifan gave them good news.

"You can pay now."

Zhou Zifan said, "These days, with the help of my uncle, we practice secretly and recuperate. The amount of medicine we need to buy has been reduced a lot. The expenses in this area are far less heavy than before."

"As the number one hunter in the Autumn Hunt, the government has a reward for driving away beasts for the people. In addition, all the prey in the Autumn Hunt, except for the red fire beehive, have been sold. The money we have in our account now can directly afford the compensation. Shopkeeper Han’s loss.”

Su Tieyi perked up and said, "Okay!"

"But if we lose this money, our restaurant will have to reopen."

Zhou Zifan said, "It has been November since September, and those three businesses have passed their most emotional period. The risk of our opening is no longer that high."

Su Tieyi was silent for a while, nodded, and then cursed: "These blind bandits hurt our people and made us poor again. I will personally find them and throw them into the Nucang River one by one." go!"

"Wait!" Zhou Zifan quickly persuaded and said, "According to Junior Brother Tian's description, there are no masters among the bandits. Let Junior Brother lead the people, and we should be able to capture them."

Su Tieyi said: "Then I can go faster!"

"Uncle Master, you have something else to do."

Zhou Zifan rolled his eyes and said, "Magistrate Gao is probably very interested in the Crimson Fire Hive, and the price he offered is quite generous, but Master Shuqin still wanted to wait a little longer, so he didn't rush to agree to it before. "

"Now you send someone to send a message to the county magistrate, agreeing to the sale of Crimson Fire Beehive to him. The prerequisite is that he invites the owners of four other martial arts schools to be guests of the county magistrate's house tonight and talk about it until dawn. "

Su Tieyi was a little confused: "What are you talking about?"

"There is so much to talk about as a martial arts gym owner and a local magistrate. Mr. Gao can easily come up with a thousand reasons. We don't need to help him think about this."

Zhou Zifan warned, "When all four hotel owners arrive, let someone from the county magistrate's office notify you, and then, Uncle Master, you can bring the Crimson Fire Beehive over."

"Remember, Uncle Master, you have to restrain your breath and don't go to the place where they receive guests in front. In the backyard, just talk to Mr. Gao's butler about the hive. After the negotiation is completed, you can sit there and drink tea and enjoy the scenery. Make sure that those few The host doesn’t want anyone to leave the table midway.”

Su Tieyi nodded and went out to find someone to spread the news.

"Elder brother arranged it this way."

Su Hanshan asked, "Do you think this robbery was set up by a certain martial arts school?"

"If we could endure it back then, they must also be able to endure it and wait for a better time. They will not resort to such crude and unsafe methods."

Zhou Zifan took a sip of tea and said, "But we still have to be just in case."

Everyone nodded, understanding his intention.

But Su Hanshan said again: "We are both in the realm of heavenly ladder, and my second uncle is not a light-hearted person. Can he really hide it from those people?"

"The county magistrate has long been dissatisfied with Lei and Huang's attempts to control the county government."

Zhou Zifan was very satisfied with his junior brother's keenness and said with a smile, "Five years ago, if it weren't for the drastic changes, County Magistrate Gao would have introduced the power of our Songhe Martial Arts School into the county government and formed allies so that he could use his own methods. ”

"Now that he has expressed his intention to repair relations with us, why don't we just go with the flow?"

Su Hanshan thought for a while and couldn't help but say something bad about his second uncle: "It's not very stable for my second uncle to be responsible for winning allies."

"But for this beginning, my uncle must go there to have enough weight."

Zhou Zifan smiled and said, "I will contact Magistrate Gao about the follow-up matters."

Su Hanshan was relieved.

Five years ago, when Su Chaodong was still there, Zhou Zifan's opinions were already consulted on many things in the martial arts gym.

Manage accounts and finances, identify allies, use tepid means to increase deterrence, etc.

In this kind of matter, the senior brother can not only defeat the second uncle, but also has much better experience and details than Su Hanshan.

"Then I will be responsible for leading people to deal with those bandits."

Su Hanshan said to Tian Yuan, "Senior Brother Tian, ​​you go and rest first. We will set off again after we confirm that the four hotel owners have attended the banquet!"
