Chapter 22: The Master

Zhen Yingjun was stunned and looked at Lin Fan as if he was playing a trick, a jar of fine wine appeared out of thin air in his right hand, Lin Fan put the wine on the ground, and took out a plate of roast duck and a plate of sauce duck from the bronze ring, beckoned to Zhen Yingjun, and motioned for him to come and enjoy the meal.

didn't care about being polite to Lin Fan, he was really handsome and rushed to the roast duck, holding the roast duck with both hands and gnawing on it, eating extremely indecently, and his temperament was simply like two people.

"Hiccup~~"

In a moment, Zhen Yingjun had already gnawed a roast duck to the skeleton, obviously he had already burped for a long time, but he was still sucking ten oil-stained fingers, and Lin Fan was disgusted for a while.

Lin Fan took out a jar of fine wine from the bronze ring again and shook it in front of Zhen Yingjun's eyes.

"Yes, food needs to be paired with wine, in this situation, you and I have a drink, you and I have joined hands to make a brilliant deed in the mortal world in three years"

Zhen Yingjun opened the wine jar on the ground, touched it with Lin Fan, and began to drink from each other.

The two of them didn't know how much wine they drank, Zhen Yingjun talked to Lin Fan about his past with a big tongue, Zhen Yingjun is already twenty years old this year, although Lin Fan is also twenty years old, but he doesn't know whether it is twenty or not, but he looks eight years old at the beginning, and it adds up to twelve years, so Lin Fan also thinks that he is twenty years old.

From joining the Lihuo Sect to the present, Lin Fan almost couldn't help but beat him up for being really handsome, and he was too good at talking about it, at first Lin Fan listened with great interest, but the more he listened, the more he felt nonsense, and most of the time he was talking about how his handsome face was.

In the end, Zhen Yingjun also told Lin Fan mysteriously that the cell they are staying in now is the underground passage cell of this prison, and the underground cell holds ordinary criminals, and there is only one meal a day, according to the words of the jailer, the prisoner will not starve to death, otherwise will the prisoner be full of food and have the strength to fight against the jailers, the conditions of the cell are even worse, damp straw and rats and cockroaches can be seen everywhere,

The other passage cell is the passage cell called Tianzihao, in which the prisoners are either rich or expensive, every day's breakfast, milk, soy milk, eggs are indispensable, two meals of chicken, duck and fish, as well as supper to eat wine and drink, ice cubes in summer and charcoal in winter.

And why do you take such special care of the prisoners of Tianzihao, it is because the prisoners here can't stay for long, and it can bring great benefits to the jailers, rich prisoners will let the family throw a large amount of silver, bribe the government and bribe the jailers, and they will be able to jump out unharmed in a day or two, while those nobles are different, they are basically suppressed by their colleagues, take care of these people, and their faction will also take care of these jailers, and it will not be a matter of transferring out of the cell at that time.

After Zhen Yingjun finished speaking, he got drunk with an upside-down onion, and Lin Fan was also very drunk, but he still maintained a trace of sobriety, and put in the bronze ring of the empty wine jar and duck bones on the ground before going to bed, so as not to be found and suspicious by the prison in the morning.

"Hey, hey, boy, are you using the bronze ring as a garbage dump? Beware of your spear grandpa, I'll go out and stab you"

The spear that was lying quietly in the bronze ring was coldly smashed by two empty wine jars and a pile of bones, and cursed dissatisfiedly.

Lin Fan had already ignored the voice in his head, his eyes were hazy and he was planted on the damp straw, and he fell asleep drunk.

"Oh oh oh ~ oh oh oh"

A ray of sunlight shone on Lin Fan's face through the window the size of a baby's head in the cell, and was woken up by the crowing of a rooster outside the window, Lin Fan stretched out his right hand to block the sunlight.

"Bang Bang Bang"

A jailer held a short stick in his hand and banged the wooden railing, Zhen Yingjun was awakened by the sound of the jailer knocking on the wooden railing, and looked at Lin Fan with a confused expression.

"Get up, wake up, don't sleep, you two will be escorted to the county governor's mansion and wait for the county lieutenant's sentence on the two of you."

After the jailer saw that Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun woke up, he opened the prison door, and then four jailers put Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun in shackles and escorted them to the county governor's office

When Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun were shackled, there was a small episode, that is, Lin Fan was one-armed, and it didn't seem bad if he didn't have shackles, the last shackle was locked on Lin Fan's right wrist, and the other shackle was locked on Zhen Yingjun's left hand, and for no reason the left hand was locked with two shackles, which provoked Zhen Yingjun to scream and scold again and again, and he was a lot more honest after being slapped on the back by the jailer.

When the two were escorted to the door of the cell by four jailers, there were already four arresters waiting for the two more, and after the handover, the four arresters escorted the two to the county office again.

Hengyu City is divided into five areas, which are managed by the governments of the five counties, and the area where Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun are located is the center of Hengyu City.

The county lieutenant's yamen is quite close to the prison, less than a mile, I don't know if this move can improve the efficiency of the county government, so the prison was built so close to the county government.

"County lieutenant, two prisoners awaiting conviction are here", one of the escorted Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun was arrested, and said to the county lieutenant who was sitting on a Taishi chair in the center of the lobby.

"Charge up",

The county lieutenant, who was flipping through the information of the prisoners to be sentenced today, said without raising his head.

"Let's go, don't be sluggish"

A catcher pushed Lin Fan and urged coldly.

"Which of you two...... Really handsome?"

After the two of them walked to the lobby, the county lieutenant didn't let Lin Fan and Zhen Yingjun kneel down immediately, but just looked at the name of Zhen Yingjun on the list of prisoners to be sentenced and slandered.

"I am"

Jinhandsome took a step forward.

"Boldly Diao Min, let me ask you, you bought a store last month, according to the law of my Yanguo, you have to pay a year's tax first, why do you still not pay the tax when the government officials come to collect it three times?"

The county lieutenant picked up the shocking wood from the wooden case and slapped it heavily on the wooden case.

The county lieutenant was a middle-aged thin man of about thirty-five years old, and his duty was to be responsible for the security of his jurisdiction, in charge of arrest, sentencing, and prison, and he was busy announcing and convicting prisoners from sunrise to sunset, and he was so busy that he was getting thinner.

"My lord, it's not that I don't pay, it's that I really don't have any money, and since this grocery store has been under the plate, the money I have earned can only fill my stomach, my lord knows it", really handsome and innocent.

"If you say it, I can't blame you"

The county lieutenant saw from the information that he remembered that he was really handsome, and after pondering for a while, he looked at the really handsome, the county lieutenant raised his eyebrows, and then said: "I don't have the money to pay taxes, but I can wear such an outfit?"

"Forehead ......"

This choked on the real handsome, and he didn't know how to reply.

"You have nothing to say, now I will give you two options, the first is to immediately make up the tax arrears, and the second is to send a year to the desert border pass", worthy of being a county lieutenant, a pair of poisonous eyes saw through the really handsome.

"I chose to pay taxes because I managed to raise money last night"

Zhen Yingjun replied without thinking about it, just kidding, he was banned from Lingchi, so he went to the desert to find hardship.

"Then you are Lin Fan, you have no identity card, and you have a lot of money, where are you from, where does the money come from, don't you recruit it quickly"

The county lieutenant opened the next page of the list of prisoners to be sentenced, and made a shocking sound again, but frowned again, because he saw that Lin Fan's name was still remarked: one-armed, dumb four words, how can this dumb man reply? Just as he was about to ask someone to bring a pen and paper, Zhen Yingjun answered.

"Lord County Lieutenant, what's that, he is my relative, my lobby brother, we are both from Zicheng County, Heyu City, he knows that I have no money to send money to me", Lin Fan nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"That's the case, that's good, listen to the two of you, according to the law of my Yanguo, really handsome, now sentence you to immediately make up the taxes and fines owed for a total of fifteen taels of silver, Lin Fan, you should have been sentenced to ten days of detention and deported back to your place of origin, since Zhen Yingjun testified for you, and paid twenty taels of silver, wait for me to repair a letter and send it to the Zicheng County Government for verification, if it is true, I will return you twenty taels of silver, and during the period again, you must not leave Hengyu City, otherwise you will be punished with heavy responsibility in addition to confiscating twenty taels of silver, you two understand", the county lieutenant shouted majestically.

The two nodded, and the county lieutenant ordered someone to remove the shackles and shackles on the two of them, Lin Fan thought that he would finally be really handsome and bribe the county lieutenant, it seems that this county lieutenant is indeed a good official, as for the twenty taels of silver, it was also out of his surprise, and he was also worried that the gold the size of seven fingernails was not enough.

This is mainly because Lin Fan has never been in contact with money, nor does he understand the currency of the mortal world, and the expenses of ordinary people are only five taels of silver a year, Lin Fan has a huge wealth but he doesn't know it, and he is a piece of gold and a piece of gold, and now it is only a little more than a month, and he has almost lost it.

After walking out of the gate of the county government, it was already raining lightly this day, and Zhen Yingjun enthusiastically wanted to take Lin Fan to the grocery store he placed, according to Zhen Yingjun's words, Lin Fan is now a big boss, and he is the shopkeeper, as a big boss Lin Fan, how can he not go to the grocery store to take a look, it just so happened that Lin Fan had nothing to do, so he came to the grocery store with Zhen Yingjun.

Walking around the street, walking for half an hour, in a remote corner, I arrived at the really handsome grocery store, and standing at the door of this grocery store, Lin Fan was speechless (although he was originally a mute).

This grocery store is only one floor, the walls are yellow stone tiles and black tiles, a wooden door with a few fist-sized holes, two windows on each side of the wooden door, three of the four windows are broken, and nearly one-fifth of the wooden windows are broken, and the wind is whining into the store.

Zhen Yingjun pushed open the wooden door that was too late to lock, Lin Fan stepped into the grocery store and saw it, and he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground, the appearance of this grocery store is in tatters, how to describe the decoration inside, there are only four words: unobstructed.

The whole grocery store is divided into two, the middle is separated by a wooden wall, half is used as a bedroom, and the other half is a business place, which is only four rows of wooden cabinets, on which are placed needles and threads, dishes and chopsticks, incense and various agricultural seeds, and some pots and pots and jars, and nothing else.

Lin Fan, who felt that the heavenly spirit cover was cold, looked up and saw that the roof was broken with several small holes, and the rain was dripping on Lin Fan's heavenly spirit cover from one of the holes, and that's it, the ground of the grocery store was not decorated, it was actually a rugged soil surface, and there were even a few small pits, and there was still water in the pits.

"Well, don't look at this broken house, but after all, it's close to the bustling center."

Seeing Lin Fan's loveless expression, Zhen Yingjun hurriedly took out a few wooden basins from the wooden cabinet and put them on the dripping ground.

"Yo, boy, you're back, I thought you wouldn't be back."

A middle-aged fat aunt took a look inside as she passed by the grocery store.

"You can't come back, sir, I'm very good," said Zhen Yingjun angrily.

"Just come back, or I'll have to walk a little way to buy seeds, get me two packets of greens and rapeseeds."

The fat aunt seems to have been working in the field all year round, and her clothes are sticky with some dirt.

"Four pennies", really handsome holding two bags of rapeseed in his left hand, and shaking it in front of the fat aunt with his right hand.

"Look, two steamed buns cost one penny, and four pennies can buy eight steamed buns, and you will have to eat for two pennies a day", Zhen Yingjun smiled brightly while holding two copper coins in one hand.

Seeing that Lin Fan was quite speechless, he spent a lot of money to buy this dilapidated grocery store, I am afraid that he has not been fooled by someone before he has entered the WTO, since he is willing to spend a lot of money to buy this grocery store, how can he behave like such a rich slave?

"What are you doing?"

Zhen Yingjun was pulled by Lin Fan to a square wooden table in the bedroom, and couldn't help but ask in wonder.

Fortunately, there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the grocery store, Lin Fan spread the paper on the square table, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper: How long does it take for the county lieutenant to send an official letter to the Zicheng County Government back and forth?

"If you get to Zicheng County quickly, it will take seven or eight days at the earliest, but if it is not an urgent official letter, it will take more than a month to go back and forth", Zhen Yingjun knew what Lin Fan meant at a glance, because he was afraid that the county lieutenant would know that no such person would come to arrest him.

"A month later, you and I will leave together?", Lin Fan continued to write on the paper.

"Okay, that's right, the red dust trial, you should go around in the world, but I don't know if I can transfer out of this store in a month."

Zhenyingjun pondered for a while, and felt that he had been staying here for more than a month, and it was time to move to another place, but it was a pity that this grocery store was gone, and I didn't know if I could find a buyer.

Lin Fan rolled his eyes, this guy actually felt sorry for this broken shop, it would be good to say if it was close to the city, but this place is the edge of the city, if it weren't for the fact that the hundred and ten families in the neighborhood all make a living from farming and often visit this small shop, Zhenhandsome would have starved to death.

In other words, in addition to being handsome, he seems to be useless, he can't do business, he will only sell goods and not buy goods, even if Lin Fan doesn't take him out of here, he will have to leave here for a long time, otherwise he will starve to death here sooner or later.

"You look at the store first, don't walk around, I'll buy a few steamed buns"

didn't wait for Lin Fan to react, and the really handsome ran out of the grocery store with the copper coin.

......

Gollum ~ Gollum

Zhen Yingjun sat on the bench, holding a hard Bangbang steamed bun with a small half in his right hand, and there were seven steamed buns in the small wooden basin on the square table, his eyes were hooked, and he was looking at Lin Fan who was sitting opposite, constantly swallowing saliva, and the horns of his mouth were flowing out of his mouth.

The reason why Zhen Yingjun swallowed saliva was of course not because he was fascinated by Lin Fan's temperament, but because he was drooling when he looked at a plate of roast duck and a plate of sauce duck on Lin Fan's table.

I saw that the fingers of Lin Fan's right hand smashed the dry mud on the seal of the wine jar, and untied the string tied to the seal of the wine jar, uncovered the seal covering the wine jar, and a burst of pungent wine fragrance drifted to the really handsome nose, Lin Fan poured himself a bowl of wine, and after taking a big sip of the beautiful drink, he picked up a sauce duck leg and gnawed it.

Smelling the aroma of wine and meat, Zhen Yingjun suddenly had a great appetite, licked his lips, and directly threw the gnawed buns into the wooden basin and came to Lin Fan's side.

"Brother Fan, how many good things do you have stored in that space magic weapon?"

Zhen Handsome smiled maliciously, and secretly stretched out his right hand to the roast duck when Lin Fan was not paying attention, and directly grabbed the whole roast duck and gnawed it, eating it while smacking.

"How about you say that we are brothers?"

The really handsome man who was gnawing on the roast duck said coldly.

Lin Fan, who was stunned for a while, thought about it, this really handsome didn't seem to be bad, he didn't have any scheming, and the next trials would inevitably go together, so he nodded.

Zhen Yingjun saw that Lin Fan nodded in agreement, and hurriedly went to get a porcelain bowl, according to the rules of mortal Taoyuan worship, lit three incense sticks, and each dropped a drop of blood into the wine bowl in a change of cup to drink, because Lin Fan's realm was a little higher than Zhen Yingjun, and both of them were twenty years old, so they took Lin Fan as their brother and Zhen Yingjun as their brother.

"Brother Fan, you said you would leave here in a month, so which direction are we going?"

After the simple settling ceremony, Jin Yingjun asked.

Lin Fan thought about it, pointed to his heart, and signaled to go with his heart, and go if there is a way.

"I think of a place", so handsome and mysterious.

And this place that Zhen Yingjun said, made Lin Fan tremble with excitement after hearing it, originally the place that Zhen Yingjun said did not make him so excited, but Zhen Yingjun said that there is a master living in this place, this formation master is said to be in the realm of three crossings and nine heavens of great perfection, and his formation skills are neither high nor low, but there is a reason why he is still called a master, that is, this person is good at carving talismans in various items.
