Chapter 90: Jianghu Affairs

Chen Fan immediately got up, returned the salute, and said, "Then please leave everything to Mr." After speaking, he took out the thirty taels of gold that had been prepared long ago and said: "Please keep these silver coins for Huang Shi, and in the future, the wages of everyone in the house will be paid by Huang Shi on a monthly basis, Hou Feng will give 800 Wen, Ah Chun will give 300 Wen, and Huang Shi's monthly money will also be spent from this. ”

"Okay, then Langjun came over to pay the money today, and we will remember it from now on." Huang Shi said with a smile.

"This is a proper courtesy." Chen Fan didn't shirk it, since he had set the rules, let's start with himself.

He immediately took pen and ink, and wrote on the paper that on October 10, the 17th year of the Heavenly Prison, Chen Fasheng handed over 300 taels of silver, dipped his finger in ink, pressed a fingerprint, and then said: "This record will be written by Huang Shi in the future, and they will press a handprint on the back." And briefly introduced the main points of the record: date, event, amount, balance, plus a negative sign in front of the expenditure to distinguish it from the money received, and it is not easy to make mistakes.

"The record of the Fasheng is very clear, so I will do it according to the Fasheng and your method." Huang Shi nodded in agreement.

After the discussion, Master Huang resigned and left the main hall. Chen Fan let go of most of the things in his heart, and this business finally began to move, taking a solid step outward. In addition, he still has thirty taels of gold and a few taels of silver from the previous balance, Chen Fan plans to give twenty taels of silver Hou Feng, ten taels is considered a reward for him during this time, and the other ten taels are used as expenses to go to Jiankang, he has ten taels of gold and ten taels of silver on his body, and the rest of the money is kept at home, fortunately, this time Huang Shi and Xiao Qing are at home, and there is one more Ah Chun, but he is not worried about being stolen.

Xiao Qing went to the backyard to continue practicing, Chen Fan didn't go, he thought about it and called Hou Feng, Hou Feng has been with him for a long time, and he wants to encourage himself before going out this time.

"Hou Feng, these ten taels of gold, you go tomorrow to exchange for silver, of which you take twenty taels, ten taels are our expenses on the road, and the other ten taels are rewards for you, you have also worked hard during this time, buy some things by yourself, or save them, and marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible." Chen Fan said jokingly.

"Xie Langjun."

"You're welcome, do you have a favorite girl? If so, let me know and I'll help you. ”

"Not yet." Hou Feng said a little stiffly.

"You've been here for five years, and when you go back to Jiankang this time, do you have anyone you want to meet?"

"No, my hometown is in Wuxing, and I only stayed in Jiankang for a year, and I was sent to Hudu, and I followed your mother, and I didn't know anything about Jiankang."

"Who else is there in my hometown?"

"Father, mother, an elder brother, a younger brother, and the other two sisters are married."

"Okay, if you have a girl you like, just say it, and we'll help you figure it out. If you don't have a suitable one, I'll ask my mother to help you find one. In addition, in the future, you will have 800 yuan every month, go to Huang Shi to receive it, and I will ask Huang Shi to be the chief manager, and he will be responsible for the money in the future. ”

"Xie Langjun."

"You don't have to be so polite to me." Chen Fan inquired about next Zhou Chong and Zheng Yuan's affairs in Xiaohe Village, and knew that Hou Feng had paid the money that Chen Fan promised to the two, so he naturally encouraged Hou Feng a few more words, and then dispersed.

The stars are moving, and there is nothing to say all night. The next day, the dazzling sunshine illuminated Gusu, which was a good day to travel.

A four-horse carriage left Gusu City, galloping on the official road, accompanied by three fast horses, and it was the three brothers of the Hu family immediately, and there were three people sitting in the carriage, naturally Chen Fan, Hou Feng and Zhang Ke.

Chen Fan sat in the carriage, feeling the bumps brought by the galloping carriage, while thinking about the things to be done along the way, to obtain the recognition of the four products, this pass in Chen Fan's view, the grasp of passing is very large, the difficulty is that after obtaining the four products, how can you quickly learn the "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra", it seems that it is still necessary to have a good relationship with Lu Yungong, and there are quite a few people who need to visit Jiankang this time.

After sorting out what to do, Chen Fan began to think about his cultivation, since the true yuan energy ran every day, his perception ability has been greatly improved, and the wind and grass within ten meters are difficult to hide his perception, and the divine sense is different from perception, perception relies on the senses, brain, and divine consciousness relies on the spiritual power condensed in the upper dantian, the original spiritual power condensed into a spherical crystal with brilliance, and now it has become a radiant spiral crystal, which is more concise and refined than before, and in terms of extension, the ability has been greatly improved. has been able to cover one zhang, compared with before, more than doubled, and Chen Fan found that the speed of casting the Void Killing Soul is faster, the distance is farther, and the coverage of the divine consciousness is the same, it has also reached one zhang, but it is a pity that it can only be used once a day, but in general, this entry, the harvest is huge, and the ability in all aspects has been greatly improved.

At that moment, Chen Fan calmed down and comprehended the swordsmanship in his mind. "Chengying" can help people understand the meaning of the classics, but innovation still depends on personal understanding. The study of wind combined with the swordsmanship of the "Northern Zhenwu Xuanjing" is an important way for Chen Fan to improve his combat power, and the twelve-style swordsmanship created before, after entering the country, Chen Fan feels that there is still room for improvement, especially in the coordination of internal force operation and sword moves.

The carriage was moving at a rapid pace, and suddenly slowed down, "Everyone, be careful, there is someone in the way ahead." Hu Ping shouted outside the carriage.

Chen Fan was stunned when he heard this, this is an official road, there are a lot of pedestrians coming and going, can anyone dare to rob on this avenue? At present, using "Nandou Arithmetic" to calculate the good fortune and evil, although Chen Fan feels that divination is mysterious, which mortals can peep at, but since he has learned, there is "Chengying" to help understand the mystery, and occasionally use it to practice a hand, and it is okay to measure the good luck.

Chen Fan didn't bother to think about it, just according to the mystery of "Nandou Arithmetic", step by step, calculated the good luck of this trip, but soon it couldn't be calculated, because numerology suggests that this trip is auspicious with evil, and there is good luck in the evil, if you want to calculate it again, you need to spend a lot of mind, and with the help of magic weapons, you can get a glimpse of a trace of heaven, Chen Fan did not bring a magic weapon like a compass, the key is that he didn't know whether it was accurate, and immediately extinguished the mind to continue to calculate, but one thing is for sure, the things encountered in front of me may not be simple.

Soon, the carriage stopped, "Lang Jun, there are two groups of people in front, it was the Maoshan faction and the Qiuji gang who had a dispute and blocked the road. Hu Ping came over and said.

"Can you go around?" Chen Fan plans to rush to Danyang today, it is best to report the name of the test, and he doesn't want to make extraneous branches on the road, so he immediately hopes to avoid it.

"Yes, it's just a small road, and it's not easy for carriages to pass, and we have to rush back, and it will take an extra hour on the way."

"Where are we now?"

"It has arrived in the territory of Liangxi, and before that is Jinling County, and after Jinling is Danyang."

"What is the origin of this Maoshan faction and the Qiu Ji Gang, is it powerful?"

"This Maoshan sect was created by Sanmao Zhenjun, leaving the "Taiji Xuanzhen Sutra", it is said that after cultivation, you can get the immortal path and enjoy immortality. And the Qiu Ji Gang leader Wang Quan, this person has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, there are few opponents, there are four King Kongs, five heavenly kings, eight killing gods, his wife Liu Ruyu, the military advisor Wan Mochou, is also the best among the people, these people, the Qiu Ji Gang has developed into the first gang in the south of the Yangtze River, and its ability can be imagined. "Hu Ping is a dart master in the end, although he is not very old, but he has much more experience than Chen Fan, and this Maoshan faction and the Qiu Ji gang are not far from Gusu, so they have a clear understanding of these two gangs.

"This Qiu Ji Gang is so powerful, so dare the Maoshan faction provoke it?"

"The Maoshan faction has a long heritage, it is the Taoism of the Xianjia family, there are three peaks, two palaces, and four halls in the sect, among which there are countless masters, how can the Jianghu sect be seen in the eyes. And the Qiu Ji Gang has long unified the large and small gangs in this vicinity, only this Maoshan faction does not respect its orders, and naturally regards it as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, but the Maoshan faction has a deep heritage after all, and the Qiu Ji Gang does not dare to make a big move against it, so the first few years ago there was a peace on the surface, but two years ago there was a young man, gifted, and a genius who learned martial arts, it is said that the leader of the Qiu Ji Gang Wang Quan was ready to personally accept him as a disciple, and was accepted as a disciple by the Maoshan faction. ”

"What about the government?"

"How does the government manage it? Ordinary officials and officials are not capable of managing it, and it is not easy to dispatch the army, and these people are not bandits after all, so the policy of the government is that the affairs of the rivers and lakes will be solved by the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

"How many people are there in the clash between the two sides in front of you?"

"There were about 20 people on each side, and there were quite a few people waiting on the side of the road."

"Then can we talk to both sides now and let us pedestrians pass first?" Chen Fan felt that the Maoshan faction was Taoism and should be accommodating, so he didn't know if the Qiu Ji Gang was easy to talk to?

"I guess it's a little difficult, I can try."

"No, let's ask your eldest brother for advice first, and if you can negotiate with both parties, you can also call down the pedestrians on the side of the road to see if anyone is willing to go together." Chen Fan was a little worried about Hu Ping's judgment, don't eat the mutton, and make a fuss.

"Okay, Lang Jun." Although Hu Ping was a little dissatisfied with Chen Fan's obvious distrust of him, he still did not refute and followed Chen Fan's opinion.

"Lang Jun, we are still waiting on the side of the road, the horse is also boiled, just to rest." Hu Gui led the horse and walked over and said.

"It's fine." Although Chen Fan was in a hurry to go, he still respected the opinion of the dart master when he was walking outside, and it was better to have more than one thing, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

A few people just arrived on the side of the road, the noise in the distance came, accompanied by the slogan of "come on, beat him", and the cheers, no need to look, someone on both sides has already moved, although Chen Fan is interested in watching others fight, but think about so many people, forget it, continue to work hard in the car at the moment, but Hou Feng and Zhang Ke ran out of the car, and the two did not go far, fortunately, there was a tree on the side of the road, with the skills of the two, they naturally jumped to the tree to watch.
