8. Bistro. Rectify the sect
PS: Thank you "top777" for sending the monthly pass
According to Liu Meng's original plan, before Yue Buqun and the others came to Fuzhou, he first quietly sneaked to the Lin family's old house in Xiangyang Lane, and secretly took away the robe with the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, and the matter was settled unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, things changed, and the Qingcheng faction actually noticed the Lin family's old mansion in advance, and also sent Hou Renying from the four shows in Qingcheng to come to take charge. If it weren't for the fact that they accidentally met Fang Fengnan, and they demolished the yard after winning the title deed, then the evil sword spectrum would have been obtained for them!
had no choice but to kill the killer, but he had no choice but to hide his whereabouts, but he forgot that Fang Fengnan was in the bright place, and as a result, the Blue Phoenix of the Five Poisons Sect under the Sun Moon God Sect chased after him. However, the evil sword spectrum has been obtained, and if you expose it, expose it, and if you don't open your eyes, you can kill it directly.
Thinking about this, for the blue phoenix, Liu Meng couldn't kill him. He immediately smiled and said, "The reason why I pretended to be the Sun Moon God Sect was because I didn't want to show my face. Besides, eliminating harm for the people and eradicating bullies is a good thing to have a lot of face in the rivers and lakes, and it is not bad to press it on your heads. ”
The blue phoenix flashed its big round eyes, as if it didn't expect the other party's reason to be so simple. But if you think about it, the Blue Dragon Gang is indeed full of evil, and it really doesn't do any harm to the reputation of the Divine Sect. So he said softly: "Thank you Gongzi for your kindness, but the Divine Sect has always disdained any reputation, and it doesn't care what others say. ”
After a pause, Blue Phoenix said coquettishly: "Now that the matter has been understood, if the son can tell your name, I will go back to the errand." The lacquered eyes looked straight at Liu Meng, and his tone was coquettish, and those with a little worse concentration were afraid that this would already be in their minds.
Liu Meng smiled, ignoring her delicate state, and said, "Liu Meng is sent in Xia Heng Mountain." Thank you Miss Lan for your understanding, we will have a meeting later. With that, the ferry had already docked, Liu Meng hugged his fist to the blue phoenix, and drove away with Fang Fengnan and his wife.
After crossing the Ganjiang River, take Yanling to the main road, the speed is much faster. Ten days later, the group returned to Hengshan City.
It was a month and a half back and forth, and the weather was gradually early autumn, and it was already cold in the morning and evening.
went straight into the courtyard outside the city. The porter Lao Wu hurriedly greeted and helped unload the car. Let the housekeeper Huang Ping'an clean up the two houses, and then go to buy some daily necessities to settle Fang Fengnan and his wife. Liu Meng then went to bathe and change his clothes and wash away the dust.
"Master!" With a crisp cry, Qu Feiyan rushed over, hugged Liu Meng's arm tightly, and said happily: "Master, you are back!" As he spoke, his eyes were a little red.
The little girl's relatives are all dead, and now the only thing to rely on is the master. I haven't seen each other for a month and a half, so naturally I miss it tightly.
Liu Meng smiled and patted Qu Feiyan's head, and said, "I brought you a few interesting things, all of which are novelties in southern Fujian." "Don't wait for the song to be smoked and cheered. He added: "But you have to practice the swordsmanship first to show the master, if you are lazy, then there is nothing." ”
Holding the long sword tightly, Qu Feiyan first put on a Nanyue Zhitian starting posture. Then the delicate body rushed forward, and the long sword brought out a white practice and stabbed out, but halfway through the backhand. The tip of the sword burst through the air and screeched.
Not bad! Qu Feiyan's martial arts talent is indeed extremely high, and he has reached such a level in just two months, which can almost compare to his original entry. But he relied on the cheating of the auxiliary cultivation system to climb higher and higher in swordsmanship.
The other four teenagers who received the teaching, Qi Ayi, Meng A'er, Lu Ashen, and Guo Asi, also practiced diligently, and they all made progress after the school examination. Liu Meng was naturally happy, and asked Chef Sun to prepare a table of good dishes at night, one was to reward Qu Feiyan and the four disciples for their hard work, and the other was to introduce Fang Fengnan to everyone, because next, Liu Meng had a wonderful idea.
Including the housekeeper Huang Ping'an, Xiaozao is only responsible for the meals of seven people every day, and Chef Sun is uncomfortable all day, except for playing chess and drinking with the housekeeper, he is changing tricks to practice his two apprentices. Now with the addition of highly skilled Fujian chefs such as Fang Fengnan, it is indeed a bit wasteful.
Turn left when you go out, there is a barren slope not far from the road into the city, there are wild forests on the left and right, and there is a square pond below. At that moment, he asked the housekeeper Huang Ping'an to take the name card of the Hengshan faction, go to meet the county magistrate of Hengshan County, and buy this wasteland at a high price.
Then he asked Fang Qianju, the steward of the sect, to come forward and hire a group of house builders from Changsha to build a garden on the barren slope. A huge flower hall can be arranged at the same time with more than ten tables of banquets, which is used for the disciples to gather during the New Year's Festival. The others are only a pondside pavilion, a small building by the wind, a chic pavilion, and a three-story attic mixed with brick and wood.
These constructions were all sketched by Liu Meng himself, and then handed over to craftsmen to build. Although the project is not huge, due to the exquisite materials required, the estimated cost is more than 8,000 taels of silver.
Of course, Liu Meng didn't care about the amount of silver, and with a dashing wave, he gave Fang Qianju the five thousand taels of silver tickets extorted from Fuzhou Minguilou, and asked him to arrange a capable disciple to specifically supervise the construction of the garden.
Then he went to the tavern near the west gate in the middle of Hengshan City, and invested 2,000 taels of silver to renovate the interior, and replaced the tables and chairs with expensive furniture, and the tableware such as chopsticks, cups and saucers were also extremely luxurious, but in the end only two private seats were opened for business.
The name of the tavern is directly called "tavern", which takes the high-end boutique route, and opens up to four tables of wine banquets every day, and each table of wine banquets guarantees the consumption of ten taels of silver, and there is no cap. The two chefs, Sun Yimiao and Shi Fengnan, took turns to take charge of the cooking, and the ingredients were transported back from Xiangtan and Changsha by special people.
Except for Liu Zhengfeng and Lu Lianrong's apprentices, the other disciples of the Hengshan faction are relatively poor and live very poorly.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Sect Conference, Liu Meng said that in the future, he would take out fifty percent of the net profits from the tavern, of which thirty percent would be used to supplement the lives of the Hengshan disciples, and two percent would be used to maintain the daily expenses of the sect.
The development of a sect is, of course, inseparable from the support of money. And as the disciples grow old, they have to find a place for those who are alone to spend their old age in peace, right?
Therefore, Liu Meng took the initiative to take over the Hengshan faction industry, which originally only had two Taoist temples and one incense and candle shop. And for the first time, it was clearly stated that all the surrounding prefectures that borrowed the name of the Hengshan faction to walk in the dart bureau, goods store, martial arts hall, pharmacy, etc., all sent reliable and shrewd disciples to investigate and rectify.
After a month, businesses that still want to continue to use the name of the Hengshan faction must be approved by the person in charge of the Hengshan faction, and then pay a certain amount of protection fees every month according to the size. In the future, if these obedient merchants encounter any difficulties on the rivers and lakes, they will be solved by Hengshan faction. And those who continue to borrow names without permission, I'm sorry, the long sword of the disciples of the Hengshan Sect is not used for play!
This article proposed by Liu Meng has long been implemented by some powerful big factions and gangs. It's just that the Hengshan faction has always prided itself on being a decent family, and it is not good to compete with the people for profit, and the management ability of the head of the great family is really not good, which has led to today's poor situation.
All the disciples had already had enough of the hard days, and they were all overjoyed when they heard it. The golden-eyed eagle Lu Lianrong was already extremely ambitious, and of course he raised his hands to agree to strengthen the power of the sect. And the head of Mr. Mo Da personally said that he would give power to Liu Meng, but he felt that it was a little inappropriate, so he could only nod in agreement.
It is easy to investigate and rectify the merchants who borrow the name of Hengshan faction, but it is not so easy to do.
The Hengshan faction itself has a great prestige, and the Wuyue Sword Sect has joined forces, and the momentum is huge, which one who often goes to the rivers and lakes doesn't want to make friends? Besides, the head of Mr. Mo Da, the golden-eyed eagle Lu Lianrong, and the deceased Liu Zhengfeng and Liu Sanye are all extremely low-key. One does not do longevity, two does not marry a wife, and three does not marry a daughter, many people who want to cling to make friends, where can they find a way?
Nowadays, some people under the banner of the Hengshan faction are more or less inextricably linked to the Hengshan faction, and if they are forcibly stopped, it will inevitably damage the loyalty of the disciples of the sect.
Therefore, the second apprentice of the elder Liu Zhengfeng, Mi Weiyi, died for the teacher, and the tea shop opened by his brother in the same comrade, when he responded to the tax collection of the Yamen, reported the name of the Hengshan faction, can it be done?
The father-in-law of Fang Qianju, the manager of the sect, runs the largest pharmacy in Hengyang, and claims to be the exclusive special medicinal materials of the Hengshan faction, with quality assurance and no falsehood. That's not an exaggeration, right?
………… There are others, but those who are related to the disciples of the Hengshan faction are all changing their tricks and waving all kinds of banners.
Even at the gate of Nanyue Palace, the grandmother who often sells tofu flowers also asked someone to sew the noodles "delicious tofu flowers." Mo Zhangmen personally gifted" flag, hanging at the door of the shed. And the real situation is just that Mo Da went to his grandmother's stall more than ten years ago to eat a bowl.
What can you do in the face of such a situation? Let the disciples go and smash the tofu stall, or order Fang Qianju to capture his father-in-law immediately? Or ignore the resentment of the people behind Liu Zhengfeng, and force Mi Weiyi's brother to change his banner?
These problems are as difficult as climbing to the sky in the eyes of the slightly shrewd disciples of the Hengshan faction, and they can't figure it out and cut it out in a mess. Even the golden-eyed eagle Lu Lianrong and his family secretly had fun, waiting to see the young elder's good show staged.
But how could Liu Meng be as ignorant as they were? Since this plan has been proposed, it is natural that we have been fully mentally prepared.
First of all, it was ordered that all the fourteenth and fifteenth generation disciples in Hengshan City, except for those who went out on business and were injured, must go to the compound outside Xicheng where they live every day. Those who arrive late once are given a warning, those who arrive twice are punished with ten lashes, and the third time is punished with ten strokes.
And those who fail once will be punished with twenty lashes, those who fail twice will be severely punished with twenty sticks, those who fail three times will break their legs, and those who will not be able to do so four times will be abolished and expelled from the door wall no matter who intercedes!
Mr. Mo Da usually controls his disciples very strictly, so Liu Meng's order is so that no one dares to test it easily.
Every morning, Cheng Qingshan, the fourteenth generation of the Hengshan Sect's eldest disciple and the first disciple of Mr. Mo, carried out the order, and the second disciple Zhang Baifan followed behind with a leather whip and a tiger face. …… (To be continued......)
