Walking on the streets, the autumn sun hung in the air and shone on the earth, covering the roofs, streets, and pedestrians, Lin Xiao's face looked a little trance.

"Brother Shenxiao, what's wrong with you?" Tie Bi asked with a suspicious face.

"It's not a big deal. Lin Xiao responded, but his heart was dripping blood.

I didn't expect it, I never expected it, the dignified martial arts master, the master of the Zhenwu Division, Guan Leshan pretended to be stupid in order to lose the 10,000 silver.

First was hacked by Lin Sishou more than 9,000 taels of silver, and then was lost 10,000 taels of silver by Guan Governor Wu Lai, as soon as he thought about it, Lin Xiao was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, and he only felt that his life was gloomy and the road ahead was at a loss.

Black!

This town of Takeshi is a black nest.

When the thought turned, the trance was only for a while, Lin Xiao quickly regained consciousness, it was impossible to just forget it, the more than 9,000 taels of silver that were hacked by Lin Sishou were barely reasonable, but Guan Duwu wanted to get the 10,000 taels of silver back, he must find a way to get it back.

The two went to Lin'an Restaurant again to ask for a private room and ordered a medicinal meal, this time it was Tiebi invitation.

Inviting guests to dinner, just like being a person, there are contacts to last, to be long-lasting, blindly giving or blindly taking, after all, it is only short-lived, because no one can be like your parents, regardless of the cost.

Although Tiebi is thick-skinned and familiar, he also understands the truth of how to behave in the world.

You invited me, I also want to invite you, mutual contact, the relationship can be maintained, as for whether it can be better, then it depends on some details, see the subtleties, some people can have deep friendship, often from some details can be felt, people can hide themselves, but the details are the most difficult to hide, that is a manifestation of instinct.

"Brother Shenxiao, let's have a night detective. While eating and drinking, Tie Bi lowered the sound of the faint hum of mosquitoes and entered Lin Xiao's ears.

Lin Xiao nodded in response.

It is always more convenient to act at night, after all, it is not easy to be spotted when the night is dark and windy.

The task that Lin Sishou gave to Lin Xiao is to investigate first and then deal with it, and how many meritorious deeds can be obtained after completing this task depends on the specific situation, but according to what Tiebi said, it is generally one or twenty or twenty or thirty meritorious deeds, this is the harvest of the usual Zhenwu Division's mission, as for the before, it is as little as dozens of points, and more than two thousand points can be obtained by Lin Xiao, which is very rare and unavoidable.

The harvest was great, but the cost was also great, and eighteen colleagues were killed, several were seriously injured, and some were slightly injured.

Harvest is often proportional to risk.

Lin Sishou handed over this task to Lin Xiao, as for how Lin Xiao completed it, he ignored it, originally Lin Xiao could act alone and get the one or twenty or twenty or thirty points of merit, but Lin Xiao finally invited others to act together.

The main reason is that this is his first mission, which is different from the previous attack on the Yan Dynasty stronghold, it is a collective action.

As a newcomer, in order to avoid mistakes, it is better to have fewer merit points to ensure that the task can be completed smoothly.

The duty of the Zhenwu Division is to prevent, prohibit, and put an end to the use of force to prohibit things, and to do the task, it is best to complete it directly in one go.

The woodcutter is his partner, Lin Xiao looked for him at the beginning, but the woodcutter went to retreat, in order to break through the realm of true martial arts, Lin Xiao found Xiao Tianyu, which is equivalent to indirectly giving him meritorious service, but Xiao Tianyu wants to heal his injuries and recover from his injuries as soon as possible.

At that time, Lin Xiao decided that if Tiebi was not available, he would act alone.

After tasting the medicinal food of Lin'an Restaurant, Lin Xiao and Tiebi did not leave in a hurry, and left almost at nightfall and went to the northern suburbs of Lin'an County.

Lin'an County has the inner city in the middle, surrounded by east and west, north and south, each has its suburbs, there is a cool heart pavilion in the western suburbs, and after the cool heart pavilion is Yizhuang.

The northern suburbs are mostly manors, which are built by some wealthy people in the inner city, the land is relatively cheap, and the construction value is relatively cheaper, but this is not the point, the point is that the northern suburbs are surrounded by mountains, and there are streams meandering, and the scenery is pleasant, which is very suitable for building a manor to live in the hot summer and dry autumn, which will be more comfortable.

Moreover, the inner city is only so big, and it is difficult to build a larger manor, not only because of money, but also because money may not be able to solve it.

You want to build, I want to build, he wants to build, build and build, and the whole inner city will become a manor, and most of those people will have to move to the outer city?

Who can promise.

Lin Xiao and Tiebi walked out of the inner city and went straight to the northern suburbs, not at all like people who were going to perform a mission, but as if they were people who came to visit the mountains and rivers.

In the northern suburbs, there is a stream gurgling through, just at night, the coolness is already much better than the inner city, the cool breeze is slow, and it feels very comfortable.

The manors are scattered, thousands of meters away from each other, without interfering with each other, and they can also visit each other in normal times.

"There are thirteen estates in the northern suburbs. Tiebi introduced like a few homely: "There are twelve built by rich people in the inner city of Lin'an County, such as this ......"

The iron wall pointed to a manor on the left, and the lights were already on.

"It was built by the owner of Lin'an Restaurant. Tie Bi retracted his finger and said, Lin Xiao was stunned.

Of the twelve manors, which one was built by who built the inner city, the iron wall is clear, and the last one, that is, the thirteenth, the iron wall is not clear.

"It is said that it was built by a son-in-law in the county seat, but he rarely appears in the county seat. Tie Bi said, and this thirteenth manor is also the goal of the two of them tonight.

"The county town. Lin Xiao stared away and looked at the other side of the mountain, where the thirteenth manor was located.

Why did Lin Sishou come to investigate by himself and make a decision, Lin Xiao didn't understand, but he didn't know how to do it, and if he did, maybe he would understand.

"Let's go. Lin Xiao whispered, Tie Bi nodded, the two of them jumped, landed slightly, and immediately flew towards the side of the mountain, trying to bypass those manors to avoid being discovered, after all, those manors are all warriors who have a guard and a courtyard.

There is no shortage of quasi-martial artists, and there are some righteous martial artists.

If you learn martial arts, you can't commit murder with martial arts, and you don't mix in gangs, what should you do if you want to live a more nourishing life?

It is nothing more than selling some martial arts to wealthy families, giving them care of their homes, protecting their safety, and receiving high returns.

Those rich families also understand that if they want to ask a martial artist to take care of their home and care for themselves, they have to be willing to pay for it, and the more powerful the martial artist, the more they need to spend a lot of money to hire them, otherwise why would people care about you, and abuse yourself?

Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, all the exchanges in the world, the word interest is inseparable.

Money is a benefit, and human favor is also a benefit.

Of course, there are pure friendships, but it is difficult to say whether they can last forever.

"Employing warriors to take care of the homes is the norm for wealthy families. Tie Bi and Lin Xiao bypassed those manors and whispered: "But there have also been cases of martial artists guarding the home and guarding the courtyard stealing from themselves, first prostituting people's wives and daughters, and then seeking money and killing people, tsk, that cool, what a winner in life." ”

Lin Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this, not unexpectedly, but felt that doing this was too 'unsophisticated', receiving a high salary, taking care of the family and nursing home as a matter of course, but he wanted to adulterate his wife and daughter for money and kill him, then it was too much, it was too much, it was not something that a person should do, and those who did such things could be called human beings?

Beasts and animals.

As for the yin and yang weird coolness behind the iron wall, the winner in life or something, Lin Xiao didn't care.

"I did that task alone, and after I asked about it, I punched his dog's head directly. Tie Bi smiled: "In the future, you may also encounter such a bad thing, at first it is estimated that you will feel in a bad mood, and you will scold this bad world, but after encountering a few more times and listening to it more, you will gradually get used to it." ”

"Accustomed to it. Lin Xiao groaned again, and it was difficult to distinguish clearly for a while, the previous life and this life were people, and it was indeed quite amazing, but in the previous life, he lived in a peaceful and prosperous world, and he was just a little fart, and it was no problem to talk about boiling some poisonous chicken soup, but other aspects are just hearsay, even in this life, he has been running for survival since he was a child, and his background is extremely ordinary, and it is even more difficult to get in touch with those.

Someone in this family died of old age today, and someone in that family died of illness that day, so what, birth, old age, sickness and death, after all, is not a bad thing, and it has nothing to do with the world.

But Lin Xiao still felt that such a bad thing, even if he encountered ten or hundreds of things, it was estimated that it would be difficult to get used to it.

It's just that he hasn't come to that point yet, Lin Xiao himself doesn't dare to pat his chest and say in an affirmative tone that it is 100% possible, and take one step at a time, people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and so is his own heart, what has not happened, I dare not determine how.

"Brother Shenxiao, there is a rule of our Zhenwu Division, I don't know if the woodcutter has told you, but I still have to talk to you again, you must also remember, no matter what we see from that manor, remember to stay calm first, and must not be carried away by anger, and immediately draw a sword to kill, unless the other party insists on resisting. Tie Bi said solemnly: "If the other party does not resist and is very cooperative, he must be arrested and interrogated first, this is the case handling process of the Zhenwu Division, it is the rule, and in addition, the amount of merit we have obtained in the end is directly related to the interrogation result." ”

"Understood. Lin Xiao nodded, there are no rules, there is no circle, since he has entered the Zhenwu Division, what should be obeyed must still be observed, after all, the original purpose of the Zhenwu Division was to maintain the stability of the dynasty and put an end to the use of force to prohibit chaos as much as possible.

As soon as the two of them chatted like this, they had already bypassed the twelve manors and reached the thirteenth manor.

The thirteenth manor was built at the foot of the mountain, and the distance between the other twelve manors was even farther away, more than 10,000 meters, as if it existed independently, it seemed so out of place, and on the whole, its construction style was also very different from the other twelve, and it seemed to be more refined, according to the words of the iron wall, it was built by craftsmen invited from the county town, and the other twelve were built by craftsmen from the county town.

In this way, there is still a gap in the craftsmanship between the county and the county craftsmen.

Lin Xiao was once curious, why Lin Sishou had to carry out this task by himself, but he didn't tell himself what the content of the task was, he just wanted to investigate first and then carry it out.

So, what's really in the estate?

Since it is a mission, it will not be a good thing after all, thinking of this, Lin Xiao's eyes condensed slightly.

At night, the manor was not as brightly lit as the other twelve manors, but rather dim, as if no one was there.

Silence!

Tie Bi and Lin Xiao glanced at each other, Tie Bi gestured, Lin Xiao nodded, did not immediately move into the manor, but first separated left and right, slowly cruising around the manor, exploring the terrain of the manor first, and being prepared.
