Huo Chonglou stood in front of Wei Tianya's corpse, stunned for a long time, was it the joy after defeating the strong enemy, or was he lonely because the soul searcher with the same name as the Eagle Claw Gong would be extinct? No one can see it.

After a long time, Huo Chonglou let out a sigh of relief, the demeanor of a martial arts master gradually disappeared, and the shrewdness and desire for power that belonged to the head of the Dongchang stall returned to his face - perhaps from the moment he chose to join the Dongchang and seek the wife of the high-ranking official Houlu, the latter occupied most of the position in his heart.

He pulled Qin Lin aside, and said with a smile on his face: "Qin Zongqi, Huo has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but now he recognizes the true god, this ingot of gold, I can't accept your ......."

Huo Chonglou's fist slowly relaxed, five taels of gold were deeply trapped in the palm of his hand, and he unconsciously used the internal strength of the eagle claw skill, his five fingers were open, his veins were bruised, and his scorched nails were shining with cold light, looking at his expression, I am afraid that he was not so nervous when he was fighting for life and death with Wei Tianya.

Qin Lin saw the other party's thoughts at a glance, and pushed his hand away with a smile: "Huo Stalltou is polite, you spend a lot of money and water in Beijing, and your brother is a foreign official, so you must be looser at hand, this little meaning is not anything else, just a little heart." ”

Qin Lin said to the point, the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was the lowest in all dynasties, the local officials had bad rules and fire consumption, and other means to compensate, and the central officials had three sections and two respects of silver, but the Qingshui Yamen such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Guanglu Temple, as well as the petty officials who were not in power, could not get extra money, and the cost in the capital was huge.

Huo Chonglou suffered this loss, he has not let go of his foreign post in Dongchang for more than ten years, and he has a strong sense of fame, and he refuses to break his identity to get out of the way - otherwise he will get rich even if he robs with his martial arts, so don't look at his majestic appearance, the family has long been so poor that he can't open the pot, and his wife and children are looking at him with a blank eye This trip is over, and he will go back to subsidize the family with a few taels of silver.

Hearing that Qin Lin had no intention of taking back the gold, Huo Chonglou's heart immediately relaxed, and he hurriedly took the gold back, and finally squeezed out a flattering smile on his face, which had always been flat, but with a little unnaturalness: "Qin Zongqi is too polite to say this, Huo really can't repay ......"

Qin Lin laughed twice: "It should be regarded as a meeting gift from the master to the apprentice!" ”

Huo Chonglou was stunned, he wanted to be angry, but he didn't send it out after all, his face changed a few times, and finally he just smiled and said: "Hehe, this one, Qin Zongqi laughed, but in a few days, Huo Mou really learned a lot from Qin Zongqi." ”

Qin Lin really wanted to take a master like Huo Chonglou for his own use, but now it is just a mere general flag, even if he is promoted to a hundred households, he is not qualified to get the allegiance of a Dongchang chief with the capital, but it will be difficult to say in the future, maybe many people are crying and clamoring to come to worship the door.

Look, isn't the attitude of this Huo stall head from a second kick that exploded at one point to a flattering and flattering obedient cat?

However, in the future, if you meet a master of Wei Tianya's level, just four female soldiers are a bit not enough, at least you have to add a bull to deal with it...... Qin Lin thought about it, the captains had already cleaned up the battlefield, carefully examined Wei Tianya's body, tied the body to the horse, and returned to the official road with their horses.

At this time, the lieutenants returned from the fork in the road one after another, some with the corpses of the White Lotus cultists, and some with prisoners - after all, not everyone had the courage to commit suicide.

Chen Sihai and the others came back at the end, carrying Xuanji Daoist on horseback, this Taoist man has long lost the image of fairy wind and kindness, but has a blue nose and swollen face, tied up by five flowers, and looks very embarrassed.

Qin Lin was overjoyed when he saw this, and said to Chen Sihai: "Brother Chen caught a live mouth, and the credit is not small!" ”

Chen Sihai was originally a little proud, but he was taken aback when he saw Wei Tianya's corpse: "Brother Qin killed Old Demon Wei Duge?" It's amazing, it's amazing, I catch this bull's nose at most one incense master, the White Lotus Sect has hundreds of incense masters, but there are only ten elders, and I can't catch three living incense masters against a dead elder! ”

Hurriedly dismounted and asked about the situation, Qin Lin chose to say the most important, Chen Sihai admired it so much, he didn't know how much bloodstains he had seen, this was the first time he had heard of judging the injured parts by the state of bloodstains.

Qin Lin was also very happy, Wei Tianya died without proof, and ordinary little disciples were afraid that they didn't know much if they were caught, but with the living mouth of Daoist Xuanji, what the White Lotus Sect did in Qizhou would be revealed to the world, and it would be reasonable and justified to ask for merit from above.

The brocade guards returned to the Xuanmiao Temple, and the commander Wang Jinxian had already led his own soldiers to extinguish the fire in the temple, and the White Lotus disciples fled in a hurry, only burning the Sanqing Hall in the middle, and the rest of the houses and pavilions were basically intact.

Seeing Qin Lin from afar, Zhang Gongyu and Wang Jinxian ran over with a roll, and one of them grabbed one of his hands, wanting to be more affectionate.

Zhang Gongyu gushed endlessly: "Brother Qin Shi strategizes, wins thousands of miles, densely packed strategies, and commands appropriately, he is really a hero out of a young man!" In ancient times, Ganluo was twelve years old to worship the prime minister, although the world brother was a few years late, he would be crowned a marquis in the future, it is needless to say. ”

Wang Jinxian also gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Qin is such a young hero, I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve Qi Shaobao's position in the future!" When the time comes, I don't think my brother is old, so I will be a pioneer officer under Brother Qin's account, so I can follow the blessings! ”

No wonder the civil and military duo were overjoyed, they sat in the yamen and gave them credit to the door, there are not too many such good things in the world!

Wang Jinxian also brought his own soldiers to clean up the battlefield and extinguish the fire; Zhang Gongyu, when he came with the officials, he didn't have anything to do, so he was really embarrassed, so he asked Minzhuang to sweep the ground with a broom a few times.

In this way, you can make great achievements, it couldn't be easier, and isn't this all because of Qin Lin's help? The two of them have been in officialdom for a long time, and they know the truth of drinking water and thinking about the source, and they are both thinking about how to repay Qin Lin.

Qin Lin looked at the Xuan Miao Temple thoughtfully, and said slowly: "Originally, this Taoist Temple had already won a bet......

Zhang Gongyu nodded his head and pointed straightly: "This official will find a way, don't say that it is already Brother Qin, so it will be counted as the first report, and it should also be awarded to Brother Qin." ”

"Xiaguan has a pencil shop, and now he wants to sell the goods to Wuchang in the upper reaches and Nanjing ...... downstream."

Before Qin Lin finished speaking, Wang Jinxian waved his hand and took care of it: "I will use the official ship of Qizhou Wei to transport it, and use the banner of my command envoy to ensure that you don't have to pay a copper along the way!" ”

From afar, I saw King Jing's guard of honor also coming, they only set sail from Hongjiazhuang at dawn, and now they rushed over from the dock as soon as they got off the boat.

Compared with Jing King Zhu Changjun, Wei Lingxian was more anxious, pretending to be calm, but in fact, his back was wet with sweat.

At the same time, Lu Yuanzhi accompanied Kong Qingzi and Yun Huazi out of the Xuan Miao Temple, both of them had dirty clothes and were blackened by smoke, Kong Qingzi had spider webs hanging on his head, Yun Huazi's face was full of incense ash, one was holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and the other was carrying a latch from the root, posing as a deputy for the rest of his life.
