Tianbao County is governed by Zhen'an Prefecture.

The county seat leans on the mountains, the Jianshui River meanders through the city, the city shape is narrower from north to south, the east and west two ends are pointed, the mountain city is half an arc each, just like a lotus flower, so it is called the lotus city again.

The county seat of Tianbao County is not large, but because it is the seat of Zhen'an Prefecture, the county seat is surrounded by earthen city walls, and a battalion of Xiaowei is stationed to guard it.

The city wall has four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and because the official road runs through the north and south of the county, there is more flow of business and travelers, the north and south city gates are more spacious than the east and west two gates, and they are mostly equipped with two classes of gate servants, guards.

At the end of the day, the gates of the county were opened on time by the gatekeepers, and the nearby people and merchants from all over the city were already waiting outside the gate to enter the city to catch the market, and the horse gangs who had already prepared the goods in the city, the porters who received and delivered the goods inside and outside the city, and the people who could not leave the city last night due to the curfew were all waiting to leave the city, and all kinds of people entered and exited in an orderly manner under the nuclear inspection of the gatekeepers.

Outside the south gate, Lan Feng drove a mule cart towards the city gate without hurrying.

In front of the inspecting doorman, the younger and slightly immature doorman stopped the mule cart, and was very surprised to see a person who looked like a Taoist priest lying on the car, and immediately asked seriously: "Who is the person in the car!" Get me off and check! ”

At this time, an elderly doorman came over, patted the little doorman on the shoulder, and motioned for him to handle it.

Lan Feng saw the old doorman, and greeted him with a fist very familiarly: "Master Long, you are on duty today!" Hard, hard! ”

The old doorman named Long Ye also returned the salute with a fist and smiled: "Brother Feng, this kid is new here, and he doesn't recognize Brother Feng." ”

Lan Feng smiled.

After looking at the car, Long Ye was not as surprised as the little doorman just now, but smiled calmly: "Brother Feng, this is a big fish!" ”

Lan Feng smiled and said politely: "It's not big, pick up a leak by the way!" As he spoke, he took out the document about Ma Lu Mountain from his arms and handed it to Long Ye.

Long Ye took the document and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, you are really a leak." This Ma Liushan just escaped from prison two months ago, and now he has been caught by you again. ”

Lan Feng hurriedly asked, "Really?" I knew this, but I met him halfway back, and I took him by the way. Ha ha! ”

Seeing that Lan Feng didn't know the reason, the old doorman Long Ye continued to chat: "Yes. This guy didn't commit a big deal, it was just some stealing chickens and dogs, cheating on eating and drinking, and the county government didn't bother to catch it, and couldn't help but be deceived by this guy and several large local families signed a joint complaint, so they came up with the arrest document of this reward. But this guy is a loach, slippery and tight, and he has been caught in jail five times by you bounty men, but somehow let him escape. And I don't know if this guy was intentional or stupid, he escaped, and he didn't flee far away, but he only wandered around the boundaries of Tianbao and the town, and continued to cheat in a different way. This time, he actually pretended to be a Taoist priest, tsk, it's really weird! Huh? Where did you catch him? ”

Lan Feng said with a smile: "In front of Lai's house, a big family in Banba Village, this guy happened to be kicked out by the family, saying that the Fa was not done well!" This guy is still desperate to get a ride, so I'll bring him by the way! ”

Long Ye laughed and said, "What Brother Feng said is very interesting!" I only heard last night that the Lai family opened the altar for the dead old man, invited a Taoist priest to recite a mantra and burn the talisman, lit the table, and almost burned the house, and the angry head of the family, Lai Shouyi, turned blue on the spot, hahaha! I'm still wondering, which master is this Lai family invited, I don't want to invite this bullshit fake Taoist, it's really interesting, hahaha! ”

Lan Feng also shook his head and smiled: "It's really funny! Do a law by yourself, but let people tie it up! Where to reason! The two of them burst into laughter again.

Long Ye squinted his eyes and said meaningfully: "This guy has a lot of silver, Brother Feng is really earning!" ”

Lan Feng smiled slightly and said, "It's enough to drink a pot." In two days, please invite Master Long and a few brothers, let's embroider the cloud pavilion and narrate? ”

After hearing this, Long Ye clasped his hands into fists and grinned: "Brother Feng is arrogant!" ”

Lan Feng also clenched his fists and said, "Master Long is polite!" Then I'll go to business first, let's see you in Xiuyun Pavilion tomorrow! With that, he took the reins and urged the mule cart into the city gate.

The little doorman from before hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Long, who is this?" ”

With a smile on the corner of Long Ye's mouth, he squinted at Lan Feng who was gradually disappearing into the shadows of the city gate, and said, "Well, he! is a bounty guest, specializing in revealing the list and arresting people in exchange for bounties. This man is greedy for money! If you have money, you can earn it, even if it's a melon egg, as long as there is a seam, it will fly over and bite! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the little brother who didn't know the so-called at a loss, and said slowly with a smile: "Do you know that there are many gangs on this Jianghu Road, and there are mixed fish and dragons, just our Tianbao County, there are all kinds of specialized gangs such as the Ma Gang, the Salt Gang, the Tea Gang, and the Beggar Gang, and there are also sect personnel such as the elder brother, Hongmen, Tiandihui, and Bian Banqian Hui who are wandering around, mixed with all walks of life, plus the bandits and grass who stand on their own in the surrounding mountains and villages, seem to be independent on the surface, and the well water does not violate the river water, but the undercurrent is surging, and the mud and sand are all down. It's a common thing for gangs to provoke and fetter with each other, either the people of this gang provoke the people of that gang, or the people of that gang intervene in the people of that sect, they are all cats and dogs, and the government can't control so much. The rivers and lakes have their own rules, and many times, there is a conflict between the people of the gang sect, and the people who want to take each other, if they don't want to make a big deal, they will generally find some people to help them privately, and these people are called bounty customers. ”

Long Ye paused, and then said: "Bounty customers take money to arrest people, they do business, they never care about the relationship between the sects, and they never show their bottoms, they do things neatly, they take people to deliver goods within the time limit, and ignore everything else, this is also the rule, so all the sects and factions on the rivers and lakes have also acquiesced in the business of the bounty customers." ”

Seeing that the little doorman nodded in understanding, Long Ye continued: "Of course, these bounty guests are not all in the business of selling away from the rivers and lakes, on weekdays, the official office will send some arrest lists, and these sea fishing documents will be circulated to the hands of the bounty guests at the same time, and the bounty guests will catch all kinds of important criminals according to the documents, and they can receive the reward silver when they are taken to the official office, which is also a good errand." No, the one just now was a bounty guest, named Lan Feng, we all called him Brother Feng, he picked up a bargain in the middle of the road, and took a wanted criminal who sent him to the door, and the bounty was sixty taels! said that in two days, we will invite a few Xiuyunlou to have wine! ”

Hearing this, the little doorman clapped his hands and applauded.

The old doorman glared at the little brother who was a little lost in excitement, and said angrily: "Something that has no interest! Have a drink and see how it makes you happy! With that, he walked back to the shade under the city gate with his hands behind his back to rest.

The little doorman hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "That's Xiuyun Building, I've never been there!" Huh? By the way, Master Long, what kind of sect are you? ”

Long Ye impatiently threw down a sentence: "Get out of the way!" ”
