Chapter 116: Turmoil at the City Gate
Although the Eagle Claw Gate said that after this difficulty, the vitality was greatly damaged, but the volume is still not small, and the relocation of the faction requires a long preparation, and it took a month to take care of everything, and more than a dozen carriages went to She County.
After a few days of travel, outside the city of Shexian County, Chen Zhenfeng got out of the carriage, saw the city gate of people coming and going, and smiled at Hou Kaitai: "The weather here is not bad. β
Hou Kaitai glanced at the gate and secretly wondered: "I obviously wrote a letter to ask my brother to wait here, didn't he receive the letter?" β
"The master of the gate, please wait here, and I will go and call Kaishan to meet him at the gate of the city."
Feng Mo, the deputy gate master, said with a smile: "The opening of the mountain is the head of the team, isn't it okay to say goodbye to the city gate officials?" β
Chen Zhenfeng nodded and said, "Enter the city." β
So the convoy began to enter the city, and a servant saw such a large convoy and came up to him and asked, "What is in the car?" β
"We know your Hou Bantou, and please let him come and meet us." Feng Mo said proudly.
The official didn't know how many people he had seen and said that he knew Hou Bantou, but in the end they were all irrelevant people, and said impatiently: "After the inspection, you will go to find our team leader." β
Feng Mo was furious and was about to have a seizure, Chen Zhenfeng said coldly: "Let them all come out and check on them!" β
Feng Mo had no choice but to accept the order.
After the inspection, the official asked, "What do you do for a living?" What is the matter with going to the city? β
Chen Zhenfeng couldn't bear it no matter how good his temper was, they had never suffered this kind of trouble when they fled to Hongzhou and Xinzhou before, he was about to have a seizure, and suddenly two people ran out of the city, who was not Hou Kaishan's father and son.
Seeing everyone in the Eagle Claw Gate, Hou Kaishan was overjoyed and said: "Door master, big brother, you are here!" So saying, he came over to salute.
Hou Yue quickly ran to the side of a woman in black, helped her carry the salute, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhi, you are finally here!" β
This woman's name is Chen Zhi, is Chen Zhenfeng's youngest daughter, Hou Yue was very stupid when he was a child, slow to learn martial arts, and was often bullied, Chen Zhi often stood up for him, so in his young mind, Chen Zhi's image was as tall as his father.
Chen Zhi looked at his face for a while, and let out a faint "um".
At this time, a man stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hou Yue, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the head of the family has promised Sister Zhi to me." β
This person's name is Li Ping, when he was a child, he loved to bully Hou Yue, his father was a big merchant in Xinzhou, and when he was in Xinzhou, his family entertained the disciples of the Eagle Claw Gate, Chen Zhenfeng accepted the Li family's appointment because he received a lot of help from the Li family.
Li Ping relied on a little cleverness when he was a child, but he could still bully and bully Hou Yue, but because he didn't like to endure hardships, his martial arts fell when he grew up, and his status in the door became lower and lower, but by entertaining the Eagle Claw Gate in Xinzhou, he became the central figure of the Eagle Claw Gate in one fell swoop.
Hou Yue didn't realize that the other party was demonstrating to him, and said with a smile: "Then you have to be nice to Sister Zhi!" β
At this time, another person said loudly: "Hou Yue, why don't you help me with my luggage?" β
Hou Yue turned his head and said happily: "Cousin, why have you become so thin?" β
That person is Hou Kaitai's little girl, called Hou Wan'er, she has been a foodie since she was a child, and she has grown extremely fat, because she has lost some weight because she has been running around in recent years.
"It's not that I'm tired, and you won't help me carry things?"
Hou Yue was about to pass, suddenly stopped, and said with a smile: "It's better to lose weight and look good, if you exercise more, it will look better!" β
Hou Wan'er suddenly laughed and scolded.
On the other side, the official saw that Hou Kaishan was coming, and he really knew these people, so he hurriedly let the people of the Eagle Claw Gate go.
Feng Mo saw that Hou Kaishan didn't blame the servant, and snorted: "Elder Hou, who are your subordinates, it doesn't work to report your name just now, I'll help you train and train another day." β
The official said in horror: "Hou Bantou, I-"
"I asked you to carefully investigate suspicious characters, and you didn't make a mistake, so don't worry." Hou Kaishan waved his hand, turned to Feng Mo and said:
"Deputy Sect Master, I'm very sorry, that official carried out my order, and I will punish myself with a cup and make amends to you!"
Feng Mo laughed angrily and said to Chen Zhenfeng: "Door master, have you seen it, can he compare with Li Yuanwai?" It's a shame that he's still a member of our Eagle Claw Gate, I said a long time ago, don't come to Shezhou, you don't listen. β
"Hou Kaishan, don't you want us to come?" Chen Zhenfeng said in a deep voice, his beard and white face revealing majesty.
"Why, don't get me wrongβ"
"That's good, lest we be unpopular with the people." Chen Zhenfeng interrupted and took the lead towards the city.
So the convoy slowly moved again.
Not long after walking along Duanyang Street, a round-faced maid suddenly ran over from the side of the street, and after seeing Hou Yue in the crowd, she hurriedly shouted: "Hou Yue, come with me, Miss Su will let you go!" β
Hou Yue thought that something had happened to Su Liuying, so he answered, stuffed Chen Zhi's luggage into Hou Wan'er's hand, and said to Hou Kaishan: "Dad, I'm going!" β
"Be sure to protect Miss Su." Hou Kaishan instructed.
Chen Zhenfeng saw that the father and son of the Hou family did not take themselves and others to heart so much, and his face sank like water.
Hou Kaitai saw it and asked Hou Kaishan: "Kaishan, what did Hou Yue do?" β
"He was ordered by Lord Lu to protect Miss Su."
"Lord Lu?"
"She County Order."
Hearing that it was the order of the county order, Hou Kaitai couldn't blame him. His ability to observe words and emotions is similar to that of his younger brother, and he didn't find that Chen Zhenfeng's face was even more ugly, which is also the reason why his martial arts are second only to Chen Zhenfeng, but the deputy master can't do it.
After walking for a while, Feng Mo said impatiently, "Elder Hou, how far is the place you arranged for us?" β
"Deputy Door Master, didn't you find a good place to live in the county seat in advance?" Hou Kaishan said in surprise.
He never accepts bribes, and if the father and son only rely on the monthly income, they are still far from buying a house, how can they provide accommodation for the Eagle Claw Gate.
"Got it." Feng Mo arched his hand and sneered, and said to Chen Zhenfeng: "Door master, let's go back to Xinzhou." β
"Father-in-law, go back to Xinzhou, my father will definitely greet everyone!" Li Ping also said.
"It's not long before he starts the mountain to be the head of the team, so it's not necessarily his intention." Chen Zhenfeng pondered for a moment and said:
"Kaishan, the old man will tell you the truth, since we left Yuezhou, we have traveled to Hongzhou and Xinzhou, and the expenses along the way are really not low, and now there is not much silver, and the matter of residence depends on you to find a way."
If Hou Kaishan was a person like Ding Wei and Tian Yu, he would naturally be able to easily place the Eagle Claw Gate, but he had always been honest, and he couldn't find a way for a while, so he stood in place with a frown.
At this moment, a gorgeous carriage drove by, and the people in the car saw Hou Kaishan through the window and shouted: "Stop!" Stop it! β
As soon as the carriage stopped, he ran down, ran in front of Hou Kaishan in a few steps, and said with a smile: "County Lieutenant Hou, congratulations on Gao Sheng!" β
"Bai Wang, I have something to do now, and I don't have time to talk to you." Hou Kaishan said coldly.
This person's name is Bai Wang, in his forties, he was originally a big businessman in Shinshu, and after visiting She County for two months, he found that there were great business opportunities here, so he put the next development focus here.
Because he has a bit of an underworld background, he often threatens other merchants in private, forcibly buys and sells, deals with the Hou family father and son several times, is treated several times, fined some money, and is also arrested by the county government to be targeted, and it is not easy to stuff money.
Just when he was worried about this, this morning he overheard that Hou Kaishan was promoted to county lieutenant, and he made up his mind that he must take advantage of Hou Kaishan's connections, so that he can eat well in She County.
Chen Zhenfeng was shocked when he heard this richly dressed member call Hou Kaishan County Lieutenant, and asked, "Elder Hou, why does he call you Hou County Lieutenant?" β
"I'll talk to you about this ββ, another day." Hou Kaishan was worried about the placement of the Eagle Claw Gate, and he didn't want to discuss the affairs of the county government in front of him in the daytime.
Feng Mo was shocked, this kid said this, could it be that he was really an official? The county lieutenant is an official of the imperial court, but he has not been the head of the team for a long time, how can he suddenly become a county lieutenant?
For a moment, his fast-moving head, which had always been pretentious, was filled with questions.
Bai Baiwang didn't care about Hou Kaishan's indifferent attitude, and when he heard that Chen Zhenfeng seemed to be Hou Kaishan's elder, he laughed and accosted him, and asked, "Old man, are you moving?" Is there a place where you need to be contemptible and serving? β
Chen Zhenfeng didn't know the identity of this person, so he was silent.
Li Ping suddenly interjected: "Door master, if this white member is willing to help, the problem of our residence will be solved." β
Originally, he didn't plan to speak, he preferred to return to Shinshu with Eagle Claw, but he really wanted to take the opportunity to catch the daytime, so that his father's business would be much easier.
Although he is not ranked in She County during the day, he is a super businessman in Xinzhou, and Li Ping's father Li Xifu has long wanted to catch him, but unfortunately he has never had this opportunity.
He looked at Li Ping during the day and gave him a friendly smile.
"Ping'er, do you know him?" Chen Zhenfeng asked.
"Door master, the chamber of commerce outside the white staff is the largest in Poyang City, Xinzhou!" Li Ping boasted, in fact, it is more accurate to add a "one" at the end.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Chen Zhi thought to herself, this fat man is so promising, he is so respectful to Uncle Hou, it seems that he has really become a county lieutenant.
