As Zhou dared to expect, less than half a day after those people were kicked out of the martial arts hall, there were really people who came up to find trouble in the martial arts hall.

First of all, there are three or five local green skins in Huating County, all of whom are scoundrels who live by stealing chickens and dogs on weekdays, and they always walk around in front of the martial arts hall during the day, and they only leave when it gets dark. The disciples on duty in front of the martial arts hall were helpless, after all, although they didn't do anything bad after all.

Until one day, one of the green skins spat in front of the main entrance of the martial arts hall, and the two martial arts hall disciples who had been patient with him for a long time finally couldn't bear to come forward and scold, and the green skin was not to be outdone, and stepped forward to push it.

You must know that where ordinary people can afford to be the martial arts hall disciples from the two-story realm, a few green skins fell in an instant, and the martial arts hall disciples also know how to measure, otherwise with those two green skins with vain steps, it is not enough for the martial arts hall to fight by one person.

Staggered, the three or five green skins all fell to the street in front of the martial arts hall, crying father and mother screaming in pain, the two young disciples who didn't have much strength were at a loss for a while, and were about to go up to help them up, but they happened to run into a team of officials patrolling the street, and they took it back to the county office on the spot on the charge of committing murder on the street.

That is, Wei Changpan was practicing boxing in the backyard of the martial arts hall at that time, and he arrived a little late, otherwise he might sigh with emotion, it turned out that the methods of the children of the official eunuchs were the same.

A few green skins from mediocre families in Huating County, how dare they provoke the martial arts hall where the owner of the hall can be the guest of honor of the county lord, I think it must be your two martial arts hall disciples who are bullying, and the county government is on duty in Huating County, which is a monkey with two mouse whiskers and a sharp beak, even if he is wearing a quail complement Da Yao Zheng Bapin civil official uniform, there is not much official momentum, wearing a sharp voice, without saying a word, it is determined that it is the fault of the two martial arts disciples, each of them 20 boards are beaten, and then put into the county Yali class room closed.

It happened that Zhou Dangdang was not in Huating County that day, and the senior brother Qi Qian saw that he had not returned after nightfall, so he took a few senior brothers of the martial arts hall to visit the class room, but was blocked back by the official who suddenly did not give any affection.

Before the matter was over, there was another incident at noon the next day, and the official messenger came to the martial arts hall with a notice stamped with the seal letter of the Huating County Ya, saying that it was necessary to collect martial arts taxes and fees according to the capitation, two taels of silver per person, and the deadline was three days to pay off.

There are more than 100 disciples in the martial arts hall, each with two taels of silver, and when added to one piece, it is not a small amount of two hundred taels of silver, so that Qi Xuan, who is in charge of the accounts, can't wait to give a punch to the two officials who also carried the scales. Qi Wei didn't have a good face, so Senior Brother Wei Weiwei had to discuss with the two officials by himself, one of them stuffed five taels of silver with ingots, and the two officials smiled heartily, and the Wufu tax was reduced to one tael of silver per person.

Before piling up a smile and sending the two officials out, Wei Wei stepped forward and handed over something, as if he was inquiring about something, seeing that the two officials were hesitant, he handed some things up, and the two who smiled knowingly put the thing in their pockets, looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so they whispered a few words to him, and then walked out of the martial arts hall with a heavy cloth bag filled with silver.

Wei Wei came back and saw that Qi Wei was still squatting in the front hall sulking, so he stepped forward and said with relief: "I know, it is the father of one of those people, and he has some in-law relationship with Huating County, and the other person is the land of nearby Jingyun County. ”

"The two juniors are still squatting in the county class room, teaching me how to eat. Qi Wei's face was full of worry, "Originally, even if the disciples of the martial arts hall fought with people in the street, relying on the fact that the master had already made a good relationship in the yamen, it was just to pay some silver and beat the ass a few times according to the rules, where is there such a squatting room." ”

Wei Wei sat down beside him and said, "I just stuffed another ten taels of silver for each of the two people, and asked them to tell the few people on duty in the class room, don't wronged those two junior disciples." ”

"It's another twenty taels of silver, and more than a hundred taels of silver will be thrown out without a sound on this day, how can the martial arts hall afford it in the long run!"

"If you can't bear it, you have to eat it. A familiar shout came from outside the main entrance of the martial arts hall, "Why don't you open the door for Master soon?"

"What are you doing behind closed doors in broad daylight? I don't know what kind of obscene place our martial arts hall is. ”

Zhou Dangdang entered the door with a red light on his face, his figure looked like he was ten years younger, and when Qi Wei Wei opened the door, he strode in, and there was wind under his feet, and he went straight to the Eight Immortals table where the teapot was located in the front hall, and poured the whole pot of tea before he spoke: "We won't stay in this Huating for many days, those few are just small families with some power in Yuyin, can they reach out to Qishan?"

"But they.... Too much deception. Qi Xuan, who was the most respectful and awe-inspiring to Zhou Dang on weekdays, was blushing and had a thick neck, "The martial arts hall has weakened its momentum this time, won't it have to be underestimated?"

"Ever since your master's master died on Songfeng Mountain, the martial arts hall has been looked down upon. Zhou Dangdang sighed, reassuring the teapot in his hand, "But if it wasn't for the fact that the martial arts hall was not mixed in at that time, the hundreds of people here would have been exterminated by the government at that time." ”

Wufu is a hero, he can bend and stretch is also a hero, the inchworm is bent to seek faith, and the dragon and snake are stung to survive.

"The county master has been there, and the two of them will be released in a day. Zhou Dangdang turned his head and scolded Wei Wei, "Master's silver was picked up, how could he give those two officials thirty taels for no reason?"

Wei Wei was slightly unconvinced: "The master didn't say that the disciple saved dozens of the so-called Mrs. Wu's head taxes, the thirty taels of silver, ten taels to save the first taxes, and the last twenty taels to take care of the two junior brothers who are still squatting in the class room, how can you say it for no reason?"

"Your two junior brothers will come out tomorrow, and the taxes in front shouldn't have been given to him, so how can those two of you help me in the martial arts hall?" Zhou Dang's face was even more contemptuous, and he said from his nose, "Anyway, you Wei Wei is also the son of the master of Jingyun Zhixian County, how can you even lose the courage to teach the two officials? This is inconsistent with what the master heard about your deeds in Jingyun." ”

Wei Wei was a little embarrassed, he had also been swaggering through the city with fresh clothes and angry horses back then, but after coming to the martial arts hall, he had been seeking cultivation and cultivating his heart first, and his temperament was much more restrained, otherwise when he was still in Jingyun, maybe the evil servants and fierce dogs in the family would be released and beat out the two officials.

"Your father's master has already repaired the letters, and in a few days the land will be sad. Zhou Dangdang didn't wait for Wei Wei to come up with a reasonable explanation, then said, "As for the county lord in Huating County, who collects all the money, he will know the county to take care of it, so don't worry." ”

Wei Wei hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "This matter is indeed because the disciple is not calm, and he spent so much money in vain. ”

Zhou Dangdang rolled his eyes and said with a smile to Wei Wei, "In that case, those Martial Lady head taxes will be counted on your head?"

"As it should be. Wei Wei said.

"It is worthy of being the son of Jingyun Zhixian County, and more than 100 taels of silver will come out when he says it. ”

"Master, I say that I have been out of the city for three or two days these days. Wei Wei remembered something, and asked curiously, "What good place has Master found outside the city, can the disciple know?"

Zhou Dang's face was slightly red, stroked his white beard, and said, "It's just a place to drink." ”

"Master, don't be funny. Wei Wei couldn't help laughing, "This good wine within a radius of more than ten miles around Huating County is not most likely in your old place, where do you still need to go out of the city to find it." ”

"Wine is good here, but there is nothing to accompany wine in the martial arts hall. ”

Wei Wei was puzzled again, there are also good restaurants in Huating County, could it be that there are still some famous chefs in the deserted villages and wild shops outside the county? Or is there some unique taste in which small shop?

It's just that he never imagined that the wine in the master's mouth was cleaning up the tea and rice stall on the avenue, and rushed home step by step, with the same red light on his face as Zhou Dangdang.

Those who practice martial arts, that's it.

Qi Xuan, who had been silent, spoke: "Master, when are we going to Qishan?"

"There will be twenty more days at most. Zhou Dangdang pondered for a long time, "The expenses along the way should be planned, and how to deal with the industry in Huating County should also be planned. ”

The two lackeys of Songfeng Mountain in the Youyumen Haisha Gang coveted the land vacated by the relocation of the martial arts hall to Qishan County, but they were unwilling to pay a lot of money to buy it, and they all pressed the price to a level that was two points lower than the market price.

In addition to the two gates that only got a large windfall, the land in Yuyin County that can be found to eat the silver money of the martial arts hall can be counted on your fingers, and most of them are rich but powerless masters, and after being beaten twice by the Yuyumen and the Haisha Gang, they will negotiate with the martial arts hall again.

Such disgusting behavior, Songfeng Mountain disdains it, and it is just right to hand it over to the two major land snakes in Yuyin County.

The martial arts hall that is in a dilemma has limited choices, and if it is not sold at a low price, it can only be placed here at home, and it cannot be exchanged for silver, but the martial arts hall has limited revenue on weekdays, and Qi Xuan, who is in charge of the accounts, has already told Zhou Dangdang that the current silver money of the martial arts hall is enough to support the expenses along the way from the whole martial arts hall to Qishan, but if you want to really settle down, there is still a vacancy of 1,800 taels of silver.

One thousand eight hundred taels of silver.... It's really a penny that stumps a hero, no, it's 1,800 taels of silver, and it's not much shame to be stumped.

Master will go to the Haisha Gang and Youyumen tomorrow, he said.

The big husband can bend and stretch.
