Volume 1: The New Taxman of the Monastic Order Chapter 3 The Mountain Rain is Coming
Chapter 3 The mountain rain is coming
Is Shanhaimen considered a decent family? I'm afraid no one approves of it but themselves, but that's not the point.
"Your family actually gave two people to death for such a trivial matter?"
"It's not right to say this, it's not a trivial matter, if the world doesn't talk about dignity and humility, and it frequently disturbs, how can a monk concentrate on cultivating? I can't bear it even if I change any of them. Hu Ming said lightly.
Mistaking someone to cultivate is indeed more serious than killing him, and I can't find anything wrong.
"But, your family, this, this is too harsh, right?"
"The rules are not strict, how can we stop these dirty things, some of the famous sects are stricter than us, how can the Taoist Society still care about the rules of the various mountain gates?"
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake, and I sighed casually, no offense." The black-faced chief nodded.
The monastic society has no interest or energy to manage other people's door rules, there are all kinds of weird door rules in this world, who can manage it.
But how does this end? Although Shanhaimen is not naturalized, it is also a Daomen, the status of Daomen is high, Shanminglou is just a teahouse in the world, the status is low, and it is wrong first, now Shanhaimen is dead, do you want three people to die in Shanminglou?
"What do you want to do about this?" The black-faced chief frowned.
"There's no direction yet, so please show me the way."
The black-faced chief pondered for a long time and said, "In this way, let's come forward to discuss with Shan Minglou to see how to compensate, but please be cautious before the matter is decided, if there is any wrongdoing, the Monk Association will be held responsible, how about it?" Please, two of you, and then listen to the news! ”
Hu Ming and Qiu Yue got up and hugged their fists and left.
As they expected, it was reasonable for the monastic society to negotiate with Shanminglou, but this kind of painless consultation would hardly produce good results and would take a long time.
Hu Ming called Xue Hui, the person in charge of the Juyi Teahouse, and after explaining like this, Xue Hui nodded and left.
He arranged for the Juyi Tea House to find someone to block the front and back doors of the Shanming Building, with three principles: first, to dissuade foreign guests from entering the Shanming Building, on the grounds that the debt claimant was doing things; Second, don't take the initiative, if there is a problem, notify him and Qiuyue immediately; Three, don't kill people.
Xue will stay in Jiye Town for a long time, he is familiar with the people, the land is familiar, and the people are also shrewd, so he can take on this matter.
Shanhaimen killed two people, and it seems that there is a reason to let the other party die a few people, but this is of little significance, Hu Ming is not fond of killing, he feels that killing people will not solve the problem, but will complicate the problem.
In the past, the owner of the door showed his interest in the mountain tea building, and he has never had the opportunity to do it, if he can get the mountain tea building, the door owner will be more satisfied.
The punishment of the master was severe, and the reward was rich.
It's just that the operation is a little difficult, and the mountain tea building should take the initiative to propose, otherwise the monastic will interfere, and things will be uncontrollable, so they can't directly mention the shop, only mention that two people died in the door, forcing the other party to break their legs and escape, otherwise who would be so stupid and give up the golden bull in their hands.
Qiu Yue was not interested in these rivers and lakes, and Dao Sheng had something to contact, so he went to the market in Jiye Town alone.
Although Jiye Town is remote, it is close to the mountains and the sea, and there are many raw materials that are very rare, and they cannot be bought in the big cities outside.
Hu Ming shook his head, sat in the teahouse and drank tea, waiting for news.
On the first day, as expected, the flow of visitors to Shanminglou was greatly reduced, some people got into trouble, and the guests avoided it.
Someone in the mountain tea building came out to stop the trouble, and the two sides quarreled a few words, but they didn't do anything.
The next day, Shan Minglou couldn't help it, and more than a dozen people rushed out to fight, but of course these laymen were beaten back by Xue Hui's people, some were injured, and no one died.
On the third day, no one came out of the mountain tea building;
On the fourth day, it was still quiet;
On the fifth day, a large number of people from Shan Ming Lou rushed out of the store again to fight, and they could still restrain the people of these laymen Xue Hui, but at the moment of emergency, a few people rushed out of the street to participate in the fight, these people were actually Qi Refiners, and the people of Xue Hui repelled them, because of the participation of Qi Refiners, the people of Xue Hui had to go all out, seriously injuring five people in Shan Ming Lou, and seriously injuring one Qi Refiner himself.
By the time Hu Ming arrived, it was all over.
Hu Ming was a little surprised, there was actually a Qi Refiner who appeared, no wonder Shan Minglou has not fallen for many years, it seems that there is someone behind it.
In the afternoon, when the monastery heard the news, the black-faced principal personally came to the door to inquire about the incident, but Hu Ming only emphasized that it was not his own side that did it first, but that the other party had to defend itself. Speaking of which, they didn't do anything illegal.
But since the matter has begun, it will not end simply, and when the black-faced master leaves, he immediately summoned Qiuyue for help, and Qiuyue appeared in the Juyi Teahouse in the evening, covered in blood.
She said: "When I went shopping, I met a disciple who actually tried to do wrong, and actually followed me all the way, and was taken to the wilderness by me, and the harvest was not bad." ”
Although she was wearing a veil, her beautiful eyes revealed a smile that could not be concealed.
Hu Ming shook his head slightly, that bastard was killed by her, and I don't know who was so short-sighted that he actually provoked this killer, looking at her proud appearance, it is estimated that she will gain a lot of money. It's just that the personal affairs of the seven senior brothers and sisters of Shanhaimen are independent of each other, and they usually act separately and don't ask much about each other.
Hu Ming said: "Congratulations, junior sister, you came just in time, there is trouble here, the forces behind Shanminglou have appeared, you and I will go to see tomorrow and start solving this problem!" ”
Qiu Yue responded well and went back to the house to rest.
Hu Ming sat in the hall drinking tea and waiting,
I don't know what kind of force the backer of Shan Ming Lou is, and what the strength is, until two o'clock in the middle of the night, a rapid knock on the door startled him.
Xue Hui came over with a spy.
"How?"
"Report to the lord, the villain has heard clearly, the few qi refiners who participated in the fight that day were a few loose cultivators, all of whom were invited by Shan Ming Lou for money, and the highest strength was no more than a third-grade qi refiner."
The spy is like an ordinary person, the kind that disappears when he falls into the crowd, but his eyes are flashing and he is shrewd.
Hu Ming was already very steady, and the development of things had already made him reflect on what he had done before, and he doubted: "This is the strength of Shan Ming Lou?" Can this kind of strength occupy one of the best business locations in Jiye Town for a long time? How do you know it's Shanminglou who invited you? ”
The spy hurriedly said: "This is indeed the case of the villain's investigation, and someone in the investigation was once invited by Shan Minglou for ten spirit stones, but the person did not agree." ”
Spirit stones are cultivators to increase mana, and it is common for people to die and be injured in battles between cultivators, ten spirit stones are not much, and it is normal for low-grade monks to accept and refuse.
Xue Hui also said: "I'm afraid it's true, I don't see them interacting with the people in the rivers and lakes on weekdays, and most of them spend money to hire people to do things!" ”
Hu Ming nodded and said: "Okay, it is estimated that the fighting in the past few days has attracted the attention of the Monk Society, and there are many inconveniences in the town, tomorrow I and the Seventh Senior Sister will lurk in the rocky beach outside the eastern suburbs, you take people to surround the Mountain Tea Tower, once the Qi Refiner appears, don't fight, immediately bring it to the wilderness on the outskirts of the town!" ”
If it's just a few low-grade monks who have been paid for, it will be very easy to do, as long as he and Qiu Yue open their aura at that time, the other party will be scared and go away, and the soldiers will solve this problem without blood.
Everyone went back to the house to practice alone, waiting for tomorrow's action.
After thinking about it, Hu Ming felt that there was some uncertainty in it, but fortunately, as Shanhaimen, the only stronghold in Jiye Town, Shimen had a communication tool, and he briefly described the things here and his goals, and received a reply from Zao Wou-Ki an hour later, that is, one knows, and the others are noncommittal.
The style of the door owner is like this, it's up to you to do it, the right reward, the wrong punishment is severe. Of course, it may also be as Hu Ming understands, not doing things casually.
