The fire burned from night to early morning. By daybreak, the west of the city was already a scorched earth. People left one after another, and when the sun rose, this part of the city was so quiet that the wind could be heard.

The first floor of Fushun.

Nangong Jin seems to have just discovered that there is such a quiet, small bridge and flowing water in the backyard of Fushun, although the morning fog has not yet dissipated, it still makes people put breakfast here.

Qin Mancang and Qin Yongsen of the Iron Knife Hall, with more than a dozen backbone halls, stood in front of Nangong Jin with a brush, occupying the small courtyard to the fullest.

"The corpse of the woman in the alley has been disposed of. Let it escape at that time, please punish the head of the hall! Qin Yongsen respectfully pleaded guilty.

Nangong Jin frowned slightly unnoticed, "Hall Master Qin, don't mention this matter again." ”

Qin Mancang also felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately said loudly: "Up and down the Iron Sword Hall, swear to follow the second young master to the death." After speaking, he knelt down and bowed. More than a dozen people behind him also followed Qin Mancang to kneel and salute, and said loudly: "Subordinates, wait for you, swear to follow." ”

Nangong Jin smiled, "Everyone, please get up, this is what you worked hard to earn." For me, I just want to return Jingzhou to a quiet place. As he spoke, he gently helped Qin Mancang, and Qin Mancang got up, "You are tired all night, have breakfast in Fushun, go home and rest, there are still many things to rely on you in the future, but you can't be tired." ”

Qin Mancang smiled and asked Qin Yongsen to take everyone to the front hall for dinner first, and stay by himself.

Nangong Jin pointed to his side and asked Qin Mancang to sit down and dine with him, "This time, is the loss big?" ”

Qin Mancang's face was heavy, "The Iron Sword Hall has a total of one hundred and eighty people this time, and the casualties are about sixty percent. Mainly when dealing with Leshui Hall, I didn't expect that they would divide the hall to respond without the hall master sitting in the formation. Thanks to the help of Mr. Qifeng Zhuang Cheng, otherwise, even if our Iron Dao Hall wins, it can only be a miserable victory. ”

"What about the situation in Chengfengtang?"

"I told the congregation to keep an eye on it, and it was almost completely destroyed. There should be less than one percent of the people left in Leshuitang, but there are many who are seriously injured. Later, there were more and more outsiders, and it was difficult to start. ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "How to deal with people, you can do it." However, whether it is riding the wind or enjoying the water, it is not good to report that the whole hall will be destroyed. ”

"If your subordinates save it, you won't leave any troubles." Qin Mancang thought for a while and said, "Miss Li is now in the Iron Knife Hall, and it is very hard to treat the injured who have been sent to us from all over the place. ”

Nangong Jin laughed again, "Yes, Miss Li is the conscience of Jingzhou and is upright. I sent someone to invite her, and she had to work together in the rest of the matter. After all, she is also the master of one of the three halls in Jingzhou. ”

Not long after, Cheng Zhaofeng helped Zhao Fengming to arrive. Nangong Jin greeted him, "My father-in-law came early." Have breakfast available? He also held Zhao Fengming.

Zhao Fengming laughed, "What are you two doing?" Do you really think that I can't walk anymore and have to be helped? ”

"Big brother, there is a threshold here, you have to help it." Cheng Zhaofeng whispered.

"Yes, Du Ling said that his father-in-law is recovering well, but here are all gravel roads, so it's better to be careful." Nangong Jin also said with a smile.

Qin Mancang got up to greet him, "Master Zhao." ”

"Brother Qin, you're welcome."

Four people sat down around the table. Zhao Fengming solemnly took out a booklet from his arms, and handed it to Nangong Jin with both hands, "Master of the main hall, this is the property under the name of Qi Fengtang and the list of the hall, please take a look." ”

Nangong Jin blushed, and took it with an embarrassed smile, "Father-in-law......." ”

Zhao Fengming waved his hand and interrupted him, "Hall Master, you must not call it that way again in the future." ”

"Yes. Hall Master Zhao, how is the situation in Qifeng Hall? Nangong Jin was very obedient and asked directly.

Zhao Fengming replied: "Qi Fengtang seriously injured twenty-nine people and killed seven people. The aftermath of the deceased will be properly arranged by Qi Feng Tang. ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "Miss Li will also arrive in a while, Hall Master Zhao has talked to her?" ”

"Yes, she's fine."

"In that case, can I ask Qi Fengtang for someone?"

"Who?" Zhao Fengming looked at Nangong Jin and asked.

"Lin Shi, Mr. Lin." Then he explained with a wry smile, "Don't hide it, for Jingzhou, Pingyang really didn't give anything." Miss Li is not very good at business, so she has such a family background, in case she ......, so I want Mr. Lin to assist Miss Li. Moreover, the next step is to think about how Santang should be run, since everyone lives together, it must be better than the original. ”

Zhao Fengming also smiled: "Okay, anyway, there are only a few old brothers around me, Wu Xin was deceived by you to go to Quanzhou a long time ago, every time I read his letter, I always feel a little happy." Hehe, the main hall master arranged. ”

After a while, Li Qiang arrived, Qin Mancang called Qin Yongsen in, and the table was full.

Nangong Jin saluted everyone first, "This time to ride the wind and enjoy the water, Nangong really didn't expect it, thanks to everyone who was in danger and calmed down the matter." However, Hong Jipeng, the master of Chengfeng Hall, has been killed by the people of Leshui Hall, and Yang Wentian, the master of Leshui Hall, has absconded and his whereabouts are unknown. In addition, I also received a letter from the government that Yang Wentian's entire family had been imprisoned for fornicating with the enemy and stealing ordnance. He took out the main hall master token, and then said: "Therefore, Nangong Jin is here to clean up the portal, Yang Wentian is no longer under the Nangong Gate, and Leshui Hall is withdrawn." ”

Then he turned to Li Qiang and said, "Miss Li, if you don't dislike it, are you willing to enter the Nangong Gate?" ”

Li Qiang sighed softly, "Li has no one and no money, so it's better not to dislike the second son." ”

"Now that Chengfeng Hall has suffered heavy losses, I hope that Miss Li can take on the role of the hall master and rebuild this hall. Of course, Chengfeng Hall's reputation was too bad before, and if it was already in this name, it would not only stain the Nangong clan, but also stain the Li hall master. Therefore, in the opinion of Hall Master Li, what should be the name of this hall? ”

Li Qiang lowered her head and thought for a while, "Our department is upright and gentlemanly, just like a sharp sword, moving forward bravely. Pity....... Since it is a relic of the One Sword Sect, it is called the Legacy Sword, the Legacy Sword Hall. ”

Nangong Jin laughed, "Lost Sword Hall, good." Since then, Chengfeng Hall has been renamed the Legacy Sword Hall, and all the properties under the name of the original Leshui Hall have been taken over by the Legacy Sword Hall, and the residence is in the house of the original Le Shui Hall. Lin Shi is the deputy hall master of the Legacy Sword Hall and assists the hall master Li. As for the hall members, Hall Master Li, in addition to the people who have been following, also ask Hall Master Li to accept the surviving members of the original Chengfeng and Leshui Second Halls, of course, if these people are really unbearable, please also ask Hall Master Li to clean up directly, don't break the door style. ”

Li Qiang arched his hand, "My subordinates understand." ”

Nangong Jin smiled and said, "There are few people in the Relic Sword Hall now, it doesn't matter, take your time." We have lived a good life, we are upright, and we are not afraid of not coming. Then he said to everyone, "Next, we will discuss how to live our lives." ”

This discussion went into the evening, during which Lin Shi was also called to discuss. Everyone was still a little restrained at first, listening to Nangong Jin's explanation of Xiangji and Nanyang's ideas, as well as Nangong's freight to the whole Ming Dynasty. After all, they were talking about how to make money, and it didn't take long for them to express their opinions and make suggestions.

Qin's started with a dart game, and he also has his own ideas for the freight industry. Li Qiang is relatively weak in this regard, but he also listened carefully to everyone's discussion, and occasionally interjected a few words, but fortunately, Lin Shi had already represented the Legacy Sword Hall, in addition to explaining to Li Qiang in private, he also put forward his own opinions from time to time.

Although after a day of discussion, it was not decided how to operate after that, but it was clear that the reconstruction of the west of the city would be completed as soon as possible by the cooperation of Qifengtang and the Iron Knife Hall, and the property left by the Chengfeng Hall would be counted by the Iron Knife Hall and all used for the reconstruction of the west of the city, and the insufficient part of the two halls would be evenly shared. This is also an explanation to the Jingzhou government. The Legacy Sword Hall will sort out and receive the original Le Shui Tang industry as soon as possible. And the debts owed by Leshuitang and Chengfengtang before, after Nangong Jin asked Lin Shi to verify it, Cheng Zhaofeng made an appointment with the creditor, and the private debt Nangong clan did not repay, but Yang Wentian owed it in the name of Leshuitang, which was a little difficult to do, of course, Nangong Jin still had the idea of not paying it back if he could.

After they dispersed, Zhao Fengming and Cheng Zhaofeng were left.

"Uncle Cheng, I heard that you have a good relationship with Liu Mianzhi?"

Cheng Zhaofeng held back for a day, almost never spoke, and when he heard Nangong Jin ask him, he was stunned, "It's okay, I usually make appointments to drink and listen to dramas." ”

Zhao Fengming was also stunned, then thought of something, shook his head and said, "You still don't want to stay in the Iron Sword Hall?" ”

"It's not that you don't want to stay, but you have to be second-hand. Besides, no one said that Jingzhou can only have three halls, right? Nangong Jin smiled, looked at Cheng Zhaofeng, who was stunned when he heard this thought, and asked, "What do you think of Qin Yongsen and Qin Ye?" ”

Cheng Zhaofeng saw Nangong Jin asking himself, so he simply replied honestly: "It's not good." Qin Yongsen felt that his actions were a little out of place, Qin Ye seemed to be very low-key, and there was no rumor. It's not that they're bad, anyway, they haven't had much contact before, they just know that Old Man Qin is in charge of everything. ”

"That's right. There is only one person in the Iron Sword Hall - Qin Mancang, but unfortunately he is really old. Even if he sits in the Iron Sword Hall now, what will happen after that? Qin Yongsen is really ...... Limited, Qin Ye is not his grandson at all, looking at his appearance, he didn't think about how to cultivate, otherwise he wouldn't have given me all his property. ”

"Ah Jin, in fact, the same is true of our Qifeng Hall." Zhao Fengming sighed with sympathy.

"Father-in-law, how could it be." Nangong Jin laughed, "Uncle Wu, Uncle Cheng, Uncle Lin, even the cooks in the village have unique skills, this is what I saw." Qifengzhuang has such a thick heritage, to be honest, I am embarrassed to accept it. Besides, Miss Li can be the hall master, who said Rong Rong can't be? Next time, find her a husband to join her, and the Zhao family will have a queen. ”

Zhao Fengming also smiled, "The booklet I gave you is really not all the property, deducting Rong Rong's dowry." But, according to your will, the dowry is not needed. ”

Nangong Jin continued to laugh and said, "The Iron Dao Hall has injured the original qi this time, and it is almost impossible to recover. In fact, Qin Mancang also knows that fortunately, Qin Yongsen is not Hong Jipeng, if I am really no longer the head hall master of Jingzhou, I beg my father-in-law, I should be able to protect him without worry. ”

Zhao Fengming glanced at him, "It's a bit of a surprise, now this Jingzhou Santang, who else can it be?" If you want to protect others, protect yourself. ”

Cheng Zhaofeng looked at Nangong Jin, "That Li Qiang, I've been watching." Alas, you give money and give it to people, and she doesn't seem to be very grateful, is this a loss? ”

"Uncle Cheng, Miss Li is a ...... recommended by her father-in-law."

"Yes, when the eldest brother recommended it, she still had a one-sword sect, but now she has nothing. Just a dozen old and small. "Cheng Zhaofeng really feels that he is losing.

"Miss Li is from a famous and upright family, and her father-in-law has always recommended Miss Li herself, not the Yijian faction. According to our previous plan, do you think Miss Li will participate? I'm afraid that he would have scolded us for being 'despicable and shameless' and left without looking back. Nangong Jin explained.

Cheng Zhaofeng smiled lightly, "That's the same." Suddenly, a flash of inspiration, "You and your eldest brother are fighting the idea of digging the corner of the Hengshan faction." The original One Sword Sect, part of it belonged to Hengshan, and part of it entered the Nangong Gate, and then it was better to see which side of life was better. Anyway, they Hengshan now want money and not people, and our side wants people and not money, haha, it won't be long before the Nangong clan is the first in Jingzhou. ”

Nangong Jin said with a bitter face: "Who said I don't want money?" The money that Leshuitang owes, I don't know what to do. I'm the poorest in my family, and I don't give me anything. ”

Cheng Zhaofeng didn't hear it, the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he laughed and said, "Haha, even if Yang Wentian stirs up the situation, the result seems to be the same." However, I always thought you were going to keep the Iron Knife Hall. ”

"I stayed in the Iron Sword Hall because I didn't have the strength to replace the three halls in one go. To be honest, I originally wanted three halls, first, Qifengzhuang, the town can live in the field, and at that time I thought that I would recommend my father-in-law as the head of the hall, so that even Jingzhou does not need to set up three halls. In short, with Qifengzhuang, no matter what I do, at least I won't be scolded when I go back. Second, find someone who can change the reputation of the Nangong clan in Jingzhou, such as the current Miss Li, she is a famous and decent family, everyone knows this, she entered the Nangong sect, so the Nangong clan directly washed away. 3. Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Ho, how dare you think about it." Cheng Zhaofeng gave a thumbs up, "The Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce is already loose, and those businessmen are all mercenary, how can you get it?" One by one persuasion? ”

"Of course not. You have said that you are mercenary, let them see the profits, I am afraid that they will enter the noisy. ”

"What do you want them to do? And you can't fight. ”

"Uncle Cheng, what are you going to do? They will make money, and besides, I don't want them to earn all of their income, and it is enough to collect one or half of them. ”

Cheng Zhaofeng thought about it and asked, "I don't understand, why do they want to give you money?" ”

"That's the point. Wait for me to come back from the capital, find Liu Luzhi, if it really happens, put them all under Qifeng Hall first. ”

"You want to use Nanyang?" Zhao Fengming finally spoke. "How to cooperate?"

Nangong Jin rubbed her nose, "I didn't think about it, so I have to wait for the capital to come back." Besides, in the current situation in Jingzhou, there must be some results before it can be spoken. ”
