Chapter 142: Fighting a Small Law
The next morning, outside the county office.
Wu Nuxia and a middle-aged man in a green shirt walked out of the second hall.
The so-called second hall is also the place where the county handles the disputes of the people, but it is not as serious as the lobby, compared to it, it is more like being used for civil dispute mediation.
The two looked at each other, one squinting and the other smiling.
"It's too unreasonable to act like this!"
"Why did the woman say this? The woman unveiled the list, and the list was also unveiled below, the woman went to Wangjia Village, and she also went to Wangjia Village in the next, not to mention that she also bought some things in the downstream and made some arrangements downstream, if it wasn't for the water ghost who was seriously injured in the bottom, how could she easily get rid of it with a martial artist who was a woman? β
"Fart!"
"You woman, so rude......"
"You turtle son, be careful when you walk."
"Don't worry about the woman."
The two kept walking out of the gate of the county office.
Outside the door stood a young Taoist, squatting beside him a three-flowered cat, licking its paws.
Wu Nuxia paused and looked at that side.
The middle-aged man also looked at that side.
Song You smiled, walked over slowly, and saluted the middle-aged man: "In Xia Song You, a mountain man in Lingquan County, Yizhou, I don't know where to learn?" β
"You ......"
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Song You.
Originally, he was the first to arrive in Changjing, but because the price of Changjing was too high, there was really no way to live, so he went to the gate of the city to pick a list, wanting to earn some money, so as to gain a foothold in Changjing. In order to catch the water ghost, he used the little money he had left to buy some ghost-hunting objects, but when he arrived, he found that he had been robbed of the first place, and there was no money left on him at this time, so he was really unwilling.
I heard that it was a martial artist who unveiled the list, and his mind gradually became active.
No matter how high the ability of the Jianghu martial artist is, he is also confident to deal with it, and compared with a Jianghu martial artist, he will be more willing to believe that it is the ghost he has eliminated when he comes to the county, and he is forced by life, so he has to pull down his face.
Where did I think that there was a Taoist beside the other party.
He is familiar with the martial arts of the Jianghu people, and there are many ways to deal with them, but for the people who practice the Xuanmen, he has no bottom in his heart.
Strange people in the rivers and lakes are often like this, sometimes they don't know what the other party will do, fight the law, it is difficult to say that the high line will definitely win, sometimes a little careless, a little unnoticed, unconsciously has been hit by someone else's tricks, and when they react, they are already dead.
There are so many variables.
If he had known, he would have thought again.
But now it's hard to ride a tiger.
Just now, the magistrate has already said that if anyone dares to lie and deceive him in court, he will be punished.
The middle-aged man looked up and down, and felt a little more confident.
At least this Taoist looks younger.
"Under the surname Lai, the name is Mao, the word is clear, the people of Jingzhou, are polite." The middle-aged man also bowed back, "I don't know what this gentleman is doing?" β
"I am also a cultivator at my feet, and I have some Taoism, but I am embarrassed for a while, even if I go out on the street, I can be very popular, why do I want to take our bounty in such a subordinate way?"
"Sir, don't cheat." The middle-aged man was not frightened by the fact that he could see his own deeds at a glance, "It seems that the gentleman is the companion of this heroine." I have already told Mr.'s companion that the previous afternoon in Xia also unveiled the list at the East City Gate, and the night before I also went to Wangjia Village, and made some arrangements, and fought with the water ghost, and injured it, if it were not, the water ghost would not have fled to the two, and the two would not be so simple. When I first came to Changjing, I was embarrassed for a while, and I told my husband's companion that only half of the bounty would be enough, but the two of them didn't seem to be willing. β
"I know it's fake."
"It seems that he really doesn't want to ......," the middle-aged man also looked at him, "Mr. is partnered with this woman, but he doesn't want to show up in the county office, but what are his scruples?" β
"Just lazy."
"Hehe......"
The middle-aged man laughed twice, didn't believe it, but returned Song You's words to him: "Mr. Xiaguan is also a cultivator, and there are some Taoism, it is not easy to practice, sometimes it is better to be generous, this kind of thing can be negotiated peace, it is better to talk about peace, start to do it, there are too many variables." β
"Oh?"
saw Song You with an interested expression:
"What kind of peace talks?"
"Since the gentleman is two people, he will take a step back and take eight taels of silver, and the two of them will take twelve taels. As for the county government, just find an excuse, as long as we all agree with it, it will pass, and the people in the county government are not willing to offend people like us easily. The middle-aged man said, "At that time, it is not impossible for Lai to invite the two of you to drink two cups of tea, how about it?" β
"The foot is going to be bullied." Song You smiled instead, and his tone was relaxed.
"Lai is full of sincerity!"
"See you next time."
"Mr. is going to compete with Lai?" The middle-aged man said, squinting his eyes and becoming vigilant, "Lai Mou still said that, this kind of thing, whether it can be negotiated peacefully or peacefully, fighting, no one can guarantee life and death, if Mr. feels bad, he can also discuss." β
"My companion has already said to my foot that if my life is inconvenient, I can give you a tael of silver, why don't I want to?"
"One or two is too little, not enough for a month's house in Changjing."
"I see......"
"Please also sir to clarify the words."
"I just want to make money, and I'm willing to give a chance. If you regret it, you can go to the county government to make it clear. Song You said, "If you have murderous intentions towards me, it's a different matter." β
"Then it's up to the gentleman!"
"We'll see you soon."
After Song You finished speaking, he had already taken a step.
The three-flowered cat put down its paws, turned its head to glare at the middle-aged man, and followed with small steps.
Wu Nuxia also chased after her.
Walking around the corner, she whispered:
"How?"
"It's kind of a way."
"What does it mean to be a little bit of a way? Can you beat him? Wu Nuxia followed him closely, and her voice was very low, "If you can't be sure, don't be strong, or I'll go to him for trouble, this kind of charlatan, I've also seen a lot, bells and whistles, a knife down, the head should fall off or off." β
"If nothing else, he will find the county government in a few days and explain the matter clearly."
"No accidents? So there are still surprises. β
"Accidents happen in everything."
"What do you mean?"
"It's not easy to tell." Song You said seriously, "But I, the heir of Fulongguan, walk the world, and rarely encounter this kind of accident." β
"So confident?"
"A little."
"Didn't you say he had some Taoism?"
"Just a little."
"He also said that you also have some Taoism."
"He's talking nonsense."
"That's right!" Wu Nuxia nodded, "So when are you going to go to him?" I'm with you. β
"You don't have to go."
"What do you mean?"
"I've already looked for him."
ββ¦β¦β
Wu Nuxia paused and was stunned for a moment.
Only then did he react, and it turned out that unconsciously, the battle between them had begun.
Then he felt novel, and felt that this kind of cultivation and the battle between the people in the Xuanmen was different from the martial artists on the rivers and lakes, and even his eyes lit up a little, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask for details, wanting to gain more knowledge.
β¦β¦
The middle-aged man stood in place, staring in that direction, his brow furrowed.
The young Taoist seemed to be very confident.
Of course, after just a few words of conversation, he never showed timidity - no matter what his ability is, if he walks the rivers and lakes, if his momentum is weaker, he will lose a few points first.
Momentum is indispensable.
The same should be true of the young Taoist.
Retract your gaze and head out into the street.
As he walked, he put his hand into his sleeve, took out a wooden figure about two fingers wide and less than the length of a palm, looked at it carefully, and saw that there was nothing else unusual about it, but for the sake of safety, he still threw it casually to the corner of the street, and did not stop.
This is his double.
It is also his greatest ability.
There is a double for this, unless the opponent uses a spell to burn him to ashes, or uses a knife to cut off his head, and no matter what you do, you can transfer it to the stand-in.
So it should be safe and sound.
Go back to the temporary accommodation you found and rest, but always be vigilant and don't dare to take it lightly.
Lying on the plank, I couldn't help but think crankily in my heartβ
Sometimes I suddenly get ruthless, I want to trouble the two of them, and I get rid of them unknowingly, and I swallow twenty taels of silver alone, thinking that I can live in Changjing for at least half a year, which can be regarded as a foothold. But soon I felt that it was not worth it to kill for twenty taels, and I heard that Changjing has been investigating this kind of thing very strictly recently, so it is better not to do this.
Sometimes I suddenly regret it, and I feel that I should give more steps at that time, take a little less, maybe the other party will agree, but now there is an enemy not to say, and I have to be scared, and I can't sleep well.
Sometimes I regret that I didn't do something first, so that now I am very passive.
Gradually, it was afternoon, and then it was evening.
I only ate a hu cake in the middle.
I don't know if I thought too much, or I was hungry without eating, and I didn't fall asleep until late at night.
If someone is in his room, he can see that person is lying on the bed tossing and turning, sometimes frowning because he can't sleep, sometimes he is forcing himself to spread his brows, trying to relax and want to sleep.
But no matter what, he just couldn't sleep.
His eyes are getting more and more astringent, but his mind is clear.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that the middle-aged man suddenly woke up and sat up-
This is not normal! Not normal insomnia!
It's not anxiety and worry about insomnia!
It's the young Taoist's means!
"Why?"
Why didn't the tried-and-true stand-in work today?
The middle-aged man didn't have time to think about this, so he hurriedly got up, took out a small wooden figure from his bag, held it in his hand and shook it in a circle, and recited a spell at the same time.
Whispered, read it three times.
Then he pinched the wooden man's head and pressed his hand hard.
"Smack!"
He pulled out his head directly.
"Hoo ......"
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and lay down again, his heart relaxed.
I'm afraid it's been three shifts, and it's time to sleep.
But I couldn't help but think about it in my head-
After a while, I felt that the young Taoist seemed to have some ability, whether to go to him tomorrow and be soft, just treat him as if he had lost that money, and find another way to gain a foothold in Changjing, and it is not impossible to go to the street to perform.
After a while, I thought that since others had already made a move, if I was not polite and still communicated, I was afraid that I would be looked down upon and felt that I was bullied. But if he finds it back, then the young Taoist really seems to have some ability, will he make this matter bigger and bigger, or even die?
The mind is calculating, looking forward and backward, and it is difficult to sleep.
By the time I reacted, it was already dawn.
"That's not right!"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened.
