Chapter Ninety-Four; Luo Quan
"Fifty thousand taels of silver, fifty percent of the loot after the success of the bandits."
"Is he blackmailing Benfutai? Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. ”
"I want to give him fifty percent of the booty, and he keeps saying that it is the duty and responsibility of every Daxuan common man to serve the court, and he is also an insatiable guy if he doesn't think about it!"
Zhou Futai was furious and scolded Fang Ping for being insatiable, and this anger soon implicated Chu Ying who helped Fang Ping spread the word, and today he made a big fool.
sacrificed his own sister-in-law, and he didn't commit any crimes, and he didn't know if he didn't like it or wanted to take it with his sister-in-law.
Whatever happened, it was the first time that he had hit a wall in front of a young man for so long in this Daze Mansion City.
"Lord Futai is angry." Chu Ying explained with a wry smile: "That mixed river dragon and Jinfan thief are all masters of the four-grade marrow washing realm, no matter how many soldiers and horses you give me, without the assistance of a powerful martial arts master, I can't recover the robbed tax silver, if my lord thinks that the conditions proposed by Fang Ping are harsh, we can think about it in the long run." ”
Think long-term? How to think in the long run? Zhou Futai was angry, and he knew in his heart that the matter of suppressing bandits could not be delayed, and he deserved to pay some price, "Let this Futai think about it for a day, and I will give you an answer tomorrow." ”
"My lord." Chu Ying arched her hand and retreated, suddenly remembered something, and turned around and asked; "Hasn't Captain Ji Meng returned from his travels yet?"
There are not a few middle and third-grade masters in Dazefu City, not to mention that there are as many as cows, there are also hundreds of people, but there are three-grade martial arts masters at the top level, and there are only three people who can collapse and crack the ground when they stomp their feet in Dazefu City.
Ji Meng, the official rank of the seventh rank Zhaowu Lieutenant, the rank is not under Zhou Futai, and Zhou Futai is one scholar and one martial artist, and Zhou Futai is responsible for taking charge of people's livelihood and taxes.
And Ji Meng is in charge of the soldiers and horses in the city of Dazefu, his people are brave and brilliant, martial arts talent, at the age of thirty he cultivated to the upper three grades, a year ago he went out to travel the rivers and lakes, sharpened his martial arts cultivation, and has not returned.
"If Captain Ji Meng comes back, will this Futai still need to ask outsiders for help?" Zhou Futai shook his head, he hadn't received Ji Meng's letter for a long time, and he didn't want the other party to come back.
Daxuan established the country by force, but in order to hold the generals hostage and restrict the generals from rebelling, the civil officials at the same level naturally overrode the generals in terms of power.
But then again, a military general whose strength is the best in Daze Mansion City, has a very high prestige in the army, and is also at the same level as himself, is always by his side, Zhou Futai feels awkward, and he doesn't want to share the power of one mansion with anyone.
……
……
Tongfu Inn.
Hall.
At this point in time, there was an endless stream of guests who came to stay in the hotel, and it should be a noisy and noisy scene, but after Fang Ping entered the inn hall, there was not the slightest noise in his ears, but there were many guests.
The reason is that everyone's eyes are fascinated, and they can't help but look at a figure.
It was a young man in a red robe, with a bewitching and handsome face, perfect and unrealistic, Mrs. Lieru, and Zhou Futai's sister-in-law, even though the flowers and the moon were beautiful, and there were all kinds of amorous styles, but there were slight flaws in the jade.
This person is different, with a tall nose bridge, the ghostly and bewitching facial features are extraordinarily three-dimensional, and it looks like a painting.
It's so beautiful that it doesn't matter if it's male or female.
He sat alone at the table, and his every move attracted the attention of everyone in the inn, even the shopkeeper Tong of the half-aged stared at the young man in red with stupid eyes.
"It's the guy who lives next door......"
Fang Ping once again smelled the strange and rich strange fragrance, which was the one that permeated the body of the young man in red, and it was difficult for ordinary people to smell that there was a foul smell like a rotting corpse hidden under this strange fragrance.
Suddenly.
The eyes of the young man in red looked at where Fang Ping was, a pair of peach blossom eyes were seductive, and the pupils glowing with a light purple light were as brilliant as gem agate.
For some reason, Fang Ping was restless, the hairs on the surface of his skin were also standing upside down, and the heart containing purple true blood in his chest was beating uncontrollably.
"I can't see through it."
Fang Ping, who had reached a certain level of the Turtle Breath Breath Breath Breath Technique, could tell what level of martial arts monk the other party was through the interval between a person's breath and breathing, but the red-clothed young man was not breathing!
Right! It's just not breathing!
"As strong as a third-grade martial artist, the lung capacity is huge, and it is not difficult to rest for a few hours......
Fang Ping didn't think that the young man in red was deliberately resting.
Not only did the young man in red not breathe, there was no sound of heartbeat, nor did he have the sound of qi and blood flowing, but there was a strange sound of rustling echoing in the body of the young man in red, just like ...... Thousands of bugs are crawling.
At the same time, Fang Ping remembered what happened on the way to Dazefu City, the three masters of the snake village said that there was a mysterious figure who killed bandits and robbers everywhere, and the killed bandits and robbers died very miserably, and none of them were spared and their hearts were taken away.
The man is said to be dressed in red.
Pushing back in time, there have also been many cases of bandits and robbers being killed by mysterious strongmen and having their hearts gouged out in Shanyang County, and the government has also posted notices.
"Shanyang County, Daze Mansion City, Inn, and live next door to me, is this a coincidence or ......"
Fang Ping's face was heavy, and he made a bold move, walking in front of the young man in red step by step, "Ping below." ”
As he got closer, Fang Ping became more and more restless, as if sitting in front of him was a desolate beast that could devour it at any time.
The strange fragrance emanating from the body of the young man in red, the hidden stench, also made Fang Ping feel sick to his stomach.
"Sit." The young man in red was surprised in an instant, and he probably didn't expect that the prey he was targeting would take the initiative to come forward.
"What do you call Brother Tai?" Fang Ping sat down calmly, but the true qi in the dantian, the qi and blood in the blood vessels, were ready to go, and they traveled all over the body.
The corners of the young man's mouth touched the smile that fascinated everyone in the inn, and his voice was tactful and ethereal, indistinguishable from male and female, and replied, "Name...... I got one for myself, Luo Quan. ”
"Good name." Fang Ping was silent, magnifying his perception ability to the maximum, and the wind and grass within a radius of the Tongfu Inn were as loud as the shouting of the streets, footsteps, the sound of iron, and the sound of horses' hooves in the streets and alleys.
As small as the sand and gravel flying, ants moving food, and flying insects cutting through the airflow.
As long as the sound is within a thousand zhang, it can't escape Fang Ping's capture.
However, the young man in red sitting in front of him, close at hand, was like a corpse, no breathing, no heartbeat, no pulse, no sound of qi and blood flowing.
It's weird.
Fang Ping tried his best to maintain his apparent composure, and further probed: "Mr. Luo is a talent, where did he come from and where are he going?" ”
Luo Quan seemed to be smiling, when the prey was afraid, it would exude an unpleasant smell on its body, so he couldn't make Fang Ping alert, "From a far away." ”
"Can I show you palmistry? It's okay to touch the bones. ”
Innkeeper: ???
"Excuse me, I'll live next door to you, and we'll see each other again soon." Luo Quan got up and walked to the second floor.
The eyes in the inn looked at the back reluctantly, until Luo Quan disappeared at the end of the stairs.
"Shopkeeper Tong."
Fang Ping thought for a moment and stood in front of the shopkeeper Tong.
"Borrow someone from you." Fang Ping couldn't help but say, grabbing Lao Bai and walking outside the inn.
"Don't, it's not good to pull and pull in broad daylight...... Somewhere are you going to take me, you don't want to send me to the yamen? ”
Fang Ping glanced at this liao, worthy of the words timid as a mouse, but this is not a standard to measure a person, some people are naturally timid, but it does not mean that they do not have the courage to be brave.
