Chapter 593 The foundation of the ten surnames

 “Hero post?”

This name made Hu Ma confused for a moment: "What the **** is this?"

 “Hehe, this strict family with an iron gate is not easy to get along with.”

When Old Abacus heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You pretended to be a ghost and gave away the money to buy your life. Is this a small thing?"

"Now look at it, the Yan family has no intention of giving you any face. They have invited all the people from all over the world to go to Guazhou Fucheng. They want to talk to the Hu family, who is the ghost of you."

"Since we are inviting heroes from all over the world, this post is naturally a hero post. Of course, let alone what kind of people we invite, they just want to help the Tiemen Yan family. To be honest, even my old man, You can all go and have a meal.”

　　　…”

Hu Ma was a little surprised: "So many people who don't give the Hu family face?"

 “No one dares not to give face to the Hu family.”

 Lao Abacus said: "But not everyone knows the name of the Hu family that suppresses evil spirits."

"The Ten Surnames have always been unwilling to show up, and have been hiding very deeply, but it is also because the Ten Surnames have been so well hidden. Not to mention the common people and the world, there are many people in the ordinary sect who do not know the existence of the Ten Surnames. "

“Besides, even those who know the name of the Hu family probably know the current embarrassment of the Hu family. If they take the initiative to provoke others, it’s not a big deal, but if you provoke others..."

 “…I’m afraid that others won’t be willing to give you face.”

“But the Tiemen Yan family has a solid foundation, a great reputation, experts in the arts, spirits from the mountains, and nobles from aristocratic families. How many of them are looking for their face?”

　　　…”

"Others don't know it, but the Tiemen Yan family knows it. They even sent the ransom money."

Hearing this, Hu Ma laughed and said, "Not only do you dare to protect me, but you also engage in such a situation, how brave you are!"

 “That’s not just cowardly…”

The old abacus narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "Seven generations of officials, a wealthy family, when the emperor was here, it was a strong family. Every government official who came to take office had to visit the Yan family first. Looking around the world, who dared to look at him? ?”

"The emperor is gone, but we are even more powerful than before. Guazhou has recently gained a man named Cao Mang, who is known as the Iron Threshold King. He has 40,000 to 50,000 troops under his command. He was secretly supported by the three great families of Guazhou."

“There is a prince in Guazhou who worships him, and that is also the incense burned by the Yan family.”

“To take a step back, even the officials and servants in the government office are supported by food.”

 “Do you really think that is Guazhou? It is a small court!”

"Honestly, this means that King Tiejian is just a grass-headed king now and has no courage to ascend the throne and call himself emperor. If he reaches that step and an imperial edict is issued, the ghosts and gods in Guazhou will not obey the order to suppress the Hu family. , Treat Zhenzhen Mansion as nothing!"

　　　…”

Hu Ma frowned, feeling strange at first, but soon understood.

Today's Zhencong Mansion is unique and powerful, and is not subject to the emperor's orders. However, if a new emperor comes out and an imperial edict is issued to destroy mountains and temples, and the people return to their hearts, Zhencong Mansion will indeed lose its foundation.

This old abacus seems to be talking about Guazhou now, and he seems to be taking this opportunity to give himself a wake-up call.

 “This is just official.”

Seeing that Hu Ma seemed to have listened, Lao Abacus was very proud, picked up the tea cup that Wu Ya brought to Hu Ma, took a sip, and said: "Besides, in the world of martial arts, the Iron Gate Yan family is not easy to bully. "

“Not to mention the local high-ranking people in Guazhou Fucheng, who mostly have contacts with the Yan family and are in debt to others, let’s just talk about the big shopkeeper of the Yiming Pavilion, who is also the son-in-law of the Yan family..."

“Don’t underestimate this Ming Hall. It is as famous as Cao Xin Hall in the north. It is the two major inheritances in the Siming Sect.”

“Most of the doctors in the world are involved with him. Earlier, Yimingguan and Caoxintang had taken over the position of the chief minister of the Mingmendao, but Caoxintang was defeated by others.”

"It's also because Cao Xintang can't be a big official, so he refuses to be a small official under others, and that's why he has become like this without being an official. From this, you can also see the destiny of this hall. Are you ready?"

　　　…”

Hu Ma didn’t quite hear it and frowned slightly.

But the old abacus hurriedly said: "Don't underestimate every sect. People in the Siming sect may be less capable of harming others...but don't really think that they are less...but the important thing is, which one of them doesn't have a wide circle of friends?" , Do you have friends from all walks of life?”

“Now it is the good son-in-law of the Yan family and the head of the Yiming Pavilion who has invited so many martial arts masters!”

“Today’s Guazhou can be said to be the busiest time, so you are so lonely, killing people in the past?”

　　　…”

"well…"

As he spoke, he shook his head and said: "Regardless of the family or the world, it is actually the same truth. It is a good thing for everyone to carry the sedan chair. We don't know what you Hu...that noble man of the Hu family is thinking. ”

“The birth of the Zhenzheng Mansion has brought great glory. It’s time to take this opportunity to make good friends with various wealthy families. Why did it become so tense all of a sudden?”

“Look at the other nine surnames, how many of them usually go out on the rivers and lakes? Why are there still eyes and ears everywhere?”

"To put it bluntly, the vassals of the vassals are not your vassals. The ten surnames are too far away from the world. They rely on court officials to mediate small matters, but they rely on the support of these wealthy families to gain a foothold!"

　　　…”

Looking at his seemingly thoughtful face, Hu Ma also paused slightly, then laughed and said: "We don't know what the noble man thinks, and we don't ask. We only know that if we follow this noble man, we will have meat to eat! "

“Now that I have become a knife hunter, I will kill people honestly and ignore everything else.”

　　　…”

 Old Abacus had some reasons to persuade him to turn back. After hearing what he said, he realized that what he had just said was in vain. He sighed and said, "Are you really just thinking about this little thing in front of you?"

"It's good to eat meat, but you have to see if there is a knife in the meat..." ˆ ˆ ˆ "No one dared to offend the Hu family, but the four officials who suppressed the Hu family have now become It spread, and it sounded like a joke.”

"I just want to remind you that after arriving in Guazhou, no one may sell you the reputation of a ghost and a knife. They even say that if something unexplainable happens, you, a ghost and a knife, will die. In Guazhou, it’s not impossible…”

　　　…”

Hu Ma thought silently for a while, nodded, then thought of something, and said to Lao Baanpan: "Actually, when I came back this time, I wanted to ask my brother about something else, but I didn't expect that we talked about this."

"But that's all we have to say. Brother, you have traveled all over the country. You have a lot of experience in the world and you know the rules. We are on business in Guazhou. Why don't you do me a favor and come with me for a while?"

"ah?"

 Lao Abacus was shocked when he heard this: "I'm trying to persuade you to get out of this muddy water, but you want to pull me out?"

 “Don’t go!”

　　　…”

Hu Ma didn’t say anything else, he just said with a smile: “I also said that if you follow our noble family, you will have meat to eat!”

 “If you are willing to go, I will give you this number!”

　　　…”

　　 said and gestured with the word "二".

 Lao Abacus sneered: "Twenty blood food pills, what are they?"

Hu Ma smiled and said nothing, and Lao Baanpan's expression changed a little: "Is it twenty pounds of blood food?"

 “Two hundred catties!”

It was almost two thousand catties, but seeing that the old abacus was not very big, Hu Ma subtracted another zero and looked at him with a smile.

"my God…"

Lao Abacus had a complex expression and pursed lips. He seemed to want to pull something off, but couldn't find the words to pull him out. In the end, he suddenly had a stern look on his face and said, "Let me make an agreement first. I won't kill anyone."

“The only person who is qualified to take action is at least a small-time knife-catcher from our Zhencong Mansion. How can you be qualified?”

Hu Ma glanced at him and said with a smile: "I just see that you understand things, so I just want to ask for your advice."

 Lao Abacus said: "How can I kill him?"

"No."

Hu Ma shook his head and said: "That line is bound to die. It was determined from the moment it refused to be recruited."

 “I just want to ask you how to let him die appropriately.”

　　　…”

Such unexpected words made Lao Baanpan silent for a moment. He took a deep look at Hu Ma and put down the tea bowl in his hand.

　　道: "You have indeed begun to follow the path."

"Honestly, although I was trying to persuade you just now, I actually know that I can't help you. You have already given me the money to buy your life. Although it is only a copper coin, it is equivalent to establishing a rule. Since you have established a rule, then you We can only follow the rules of the world."

　　　…”

Hu Ma frowned: "What are the rules of the world?"

 Before he gave the copper coin, he had only heard about similar sayings in the world, just to vent his anger, but he didn't understand it.

"yes."

 Lao Abacus said: "Before that, you need to understand a truth."

"Whether you are a hunting officer or a reasoning officer, although there is an official name in the title, it is not a real official. Speaking of which, the four officials under the ten surnames are just Jianghu people and just suppress evil spirits. The Hu family seems a little different now that Zhenzheng Mansion is here."

“But in the final analysis, you must still act according to the rules of the world, otherwise even if you kill someone, you will not be able to convince the public.”

“When it comes to suppressing the Hu family, if it cannot convince the public, frighten all parties, and set rules, then killing people is completely useless.”

　　　…”

 “That’s reasonable!”

Hearing what Lao Baanpan said, Hu Ma perked up and felt that the words came to her heart. It was only after hearing these words that I was sure that Lao Abacus was really thinking about him!

 He ​​stood up seriously, bowed to Old Abacus, and said with a smile: "Then I will ask you to teach me."

　　"We are a lot of people who resort to ghosts and tricks, but this is the first time we have received orders from our family to kill people in other places. How can we kill beautifully?"

　　　…”

 “Easy to say, easy to say…”

When Old Abacus heard this, his eyes narrowed with joy: "Actually, we were planning to help you. After all, we are our brothers. You still insist on giving us these two hundred kilograms of blood food. You see..."

“…Anyway, this blood meal must count, right?”

　　　…”

Hu Ma also smiled and said: "Of course, don't worry!"

I feel quite magnanimous: One spit and one nail, of course the blood food promised to you must be counted. If the blood food given to you does not count, then how will the blood food you owe me be counted?
