Chapter 147: Thief, Inner Armor (2-in-1)
Liang Qu closed the album and put it in his arms, and took three cockscombs with his hand.
"Okay, if you want to take it, I'll make a note of it."
"Remember."
Li Shoufu licked the brush and registered the name of Xia Liangqu in the booklet, as well as the time, place and task content.
Liang Qu leaned on the case: "Is there any subsidy for this kind of work in other counties?" ”
"What do you think? It's not to go to other state capitals, the entire Huaiyin Mansion is under the management of our Hebo, how can there be additional subsidies, but there are bereavement benefits for the dead.
By the way, it's the first time you've taken on a mission, and I haven't told you about it, don't blame the old brother for speaking unluckily next, everyone has the same process. ”
【Mizusawa Essence +8.6】
Liang Qu nibbled on the cockscomb fruit and wiped the juice from his mouth: "Brother, you say, I'll listen." ”
"From the day you set off, there is no news on a date and you will disappear by default, and you will die by default if there is no news within ten days, and the difficulty of the task will be pulled from E to D.
In addition, as long as you are not punished by the Ministry of Officials, and you are not at fault in office, after three months, the Hebo Office will give a bereavement pension to your family.
Brother Liang's official position is one hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver, ten acres of fertile land, and an additional ten years of tax exemption.
You have to have a son, your son can get an official position, but you have to be demoted to a higher level, you can be a Jiupin River chief, I'll take a look......" Li Shoufu flipped through the booklet, "Huh? Didn't Brother Liang leave a pensioner? If you don't stay, that's a default to the nearest relative. ”
"Eh, eh, don't." Liang Qu hurriedly stopped, "The person who receives the compassion writes about my master, Yang Dongxiong of Pingyang County, Huaiyin Prefecture." ”
He is an orphan, and his nearest relative is not a rotten uncle Liang Guangtian.
Too buried.
"Okay, I'll write it down for you."
Seriously discussing the ownership of his bereavement, Liang Qu always felt that something was wrong.
"What, think it's weird?" Li Shoufu laughed, "There's nothing strange about it, everyone is the same, it's easy to practice in the public, but how can there be a perfect thing."
If you want to live better than others, you have to take risks, you see the fisherman, every day in the middle of the night out fishing, one day in the rain, maybe he will die in the belly of the fish.
Besides, every family has a peace tank, and which one is really on fire, so be prepared. ”
That's the reason.
"Okay, is it okay now? I'll go back and get ready, get some sleep, and leave tomorrow at noon. ”
"It's okay, rest early today."
Poof.
Liang Qu threw a sinking stone, pulled out the rope and tied a knot around the berth stakes, and jumped ashore.
The wine flag in front of the liquor store fluttered in the night wind.
The passing fisherman shouted, and Xiao Er brought a bowl of warm wine, picked up the bowl to drink freely, and threw down three copper plates, letting Xiao Er pull it.
"Uncle, it's been a long time since I've drunk, and I don't have enough money!"
"How is it not enough? Three coppers in a bowl of wine, you want to pit people?! The fisherman roared with his neck thick.
"It's already rising, what has become of the food prices outside, and you still want to drink cheap wine? Now it's 20 wen for a pound of wine, and 10 wen for a bowl of wine! ”
"Half a catty of wine costs me ten cents? Why don't you grab it? Grandpa has six copper plates on him, do you want my mother's love! ”
"Eh, it's not a fool, it's coming, it's coming, it's eating"
A terrible scream suddenly came from the houses on the side of the street, and it made people tremble in their hearts.
The screaming stopped halfway, and every house barked, and then there were chaotic human voices, like sleeping villagers all crawling up, and some people were talking loudly, and there was a lot of noise.
As a martial artist, Liang Qu has clear ears and eyes, and he can hear more clearly than ordinary people.
"Phew! Dog mongrel, come to me to steal food, and don't look at how many eyes the horse prince has! Fugui, go and get him for me. ”
"Master, no gas, dead."
"Dead? So can't help but fight? ”
"Master, you are a martial artist, how can this cripple stand up to your hands, he will be stoned to death if he throws out a stick."
"The, die in my yard, it's really unlucky, carry it away, rich, remember to talk to the government tomorrow morning, don't let people wronged me."
"Okay, sir."
Liang Qu walked a few steps forward and stood in front of the alley, and saw two people carrying a thin man out of the door.
Strings of blood slid down from the wet ends of the thin man's hair on the back of his head, rolling on the slate, stained with dust but not broken, like red beans.
The housekeeper who carried the corpse saw someone standing at the entrance of the alley, and was about to scold the other party to get out of the way, but he saw the navy blue auspicious cloud official uniform on Liang Qu by the moonlight, and immediately stopped talking, with a smile on his face.
"Uncle, don't get me wrong, you see, Yin Ye entered someone's house, it is not a traitor or a thief, we will take care of this matter."
Liang Qu didn't say anything, just left from the mouth of the alley.
The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his sideburns and breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that an official was coming to rip off the bamboo.
The barking of the dogs gradually stopped, and the candle-lit windows went out one by one.
The guy at the liquor store looked around and slapped his thigh in regret.
"Eh, what about the ugly man! I haven't paid for the wine yet! ”
One, two, three.
The third of the month.
Liang Qu walked on the road and counted silently.
On April 8, eight days had passed in the whole month, but he was already the third thief he had seen killed.
This is still seen, and there is more that is not seen.
This is how it has been.
A man with hands and feet may not be able to find a job to make ends meet.
If you can't eat, people can't starve to death, and there are more people who go out of the way.
Dashun's law does not talk about human rights, and in the era when there was no electric light, if you really want to meet a murderer, the kung fu of lighting a candle has already been cut into eight halves, so it is not forbidden to kill people at all.
Even if the thief is restrained, most of the owner's family will not report to the official, and let the subordinates beat him to death by pressing his head, killing chickens and monkeys.
The arrival of the victims is just the beginning, and the crime rate is skyrocketing throughout Binh Duong County.
It's a pity that Liang Qu can't do anything.
Don't say that he is not a county magistrate, even if he is, he does not have the ability to govern the place.
You can't make food out of thin air.
"You have to have a dog at home, and a black-toothed cub is good."
There are a lot of valuable things at home, and a few clothes in the cabinet are worth a lot of money.
Usually the little groom at home is watching, and it is enough to feed the horse at the age of thirteen, but it is unbearable when something happens.
It happened that at the beginning of March, the black teeth in Yang Shi's house were in estrus, and the last time I went to see them, several female dogs had bulging bellies.
Count the days, and he will be able to give birth to cubs at the beginning of May, and when the time comes, he will pick a strong cub and come back
Early morning.
The pool in the courtyard stirred up a ripple of water.
The fat catfish popped up with a duckweed on its head, and a pair of big eyes rolled around.
"Ah Fei?"
Liang Qu put down Fubo, wiped the sweat from his morning exercise, and wondered what the fat catfish came to him early in the morning to do.
The fat catfish shook its whiskers, raised its head, and spat out half of the inky blue broken knife by the pool.
"Did you find anything good?"
The fat catfish shook its head and spat out a series of bubbles in the water.
"Oh? You gave it to Big Brother Toad? ”
Since discovering the undercurrent that comes and goes freely, and worshipping the toad as the eldest brother, the fat catfish has gone to the door every once in a while.
Last night, the fat catfish dangled in a large treasure boat in the toad's collection, and accidentally found a small truncated knife.
After being soaked in water for so long, the blade of the knife has not the slightest sign of rust, which is very extraordinary.
The toad was not interested in the broken knife without beauty, so the fat catfish brought it back with him.
Liang Qu walked to the edge of the pool and picked up the head of the half-cut knife.
"What a heavy knife!"
The remnant knife is the width of the palm, half a finger thick, only half a foot long, it is said to be a remnant knife, it is better to say that it is a blade, but the weight is less than 30 catties.
The position of the fracture is unusually neat, like a wooden rod that has been cut off, and only this small cutter head remains.
Gently pressing with the fingertips, a small opening on the skin quickly opened, and there was a faint bleeding.
Very sharp.
Liang Qu pointed the head of the broken knife at the sun, and under the morning light, the blade glowed with inky blue light, and he could faintly see small white dots in the blade, and then looked down at the light and shadow reflected on the wall, like azure water waves.
"Water sinks gold!?"
Liang Qu's eyes flashed.
Water immersion gold, equivalent to gold!
If there is a demand, it is more expensive than gold!
At present, I don't know how much water immersion gold is contained in these 30 catties of broken knives, but it can be conservatively estimated that the content is more than seventy percent.
If it can be refined, let alone two hundred taels of gold, two thousand taels of silver!
The palm-sized blade was worth two thousand taels of silver.
Pinch mother's, which general's knife is so expensive?
Liang Qu only felt that this thing was hot, so he hurriedly ran to the house and wrapped it in a black cloth, and found a wooden box to put it on.
"Well done, Ah Fei!"
Liang Qu crossed the courtyard and did not forget to praise the fat catfish, and then rode up the red mountain to Pingyang County.
Inside the Lu Mansion, Lu Gang was reprimanding the new apprentice.
Liang Qu glanced at it, it was a new face he had never seen, he was not very old, and his body was very thin.
Seeing his junior brother coming, Lu Gang waved his hand, and the new apprentice was like a pardon.
"The newly recruited apprentice, named Li Yuan, has a very good talent, and he is good at using a hammer for the first time, but he is frizzy."
Lu Gang explained.
Liang Qu nodded, Senior Brother Lu didn't talk much, most of them hated iron and steel.
"Senior Brother Liang is in such a hurry, but there is something important?"
Liang Qu shook the wooden box in his hand.
Lu Gang understood, tacitly took his junior brother to the quiet room, closed the door, and the hustle and bustle outside the door was pushed out like a tide.
"Senior brother, look at this."
Liang Qu stepped forward and opened the wooden box placed on the table.
The tip of the half-cut knife lay in a black cloth, glowing with an inky blue light.
Lu Gang held the small half of the fragment and looked at the sunlight as well.
"What a piece of gold! Where did the little junior brother get it? ”
"Found in the water."
It's in the water again!
Lu Gang smacked his tongue, why did he think that the good things in the water had been taken away by his own junior disciples?
After living in Pingyang County for so many years, Lu Gang didn't see anyone who made a fortune by fishing for things in the water, but Liangqu fished back one by one.
"Senior brother, look at it, is this thing worth anything?"
"Value, the content of water immersion gold is more than eighty percent, and there are two thousand taels of silver just to smelt the material, junior brother, do you want to continue to add plastic? Hydro immersion gold is very adaptable, and can be integrated with most materials, but it can be added"
"No plastic." Liang Qu waved his hand, "Senior Brother will give it to Senior Brother if he thinks it is useful, Senior Brother Lu has helped me so much, and I haven't returned the love for Fubo." ”
Lu Gang took the blade and turned it between his fingers repeatedly.
"Are you really going to send me?"
"Seriously!"
Tungsten gold is not as valuable as immersion gold, but it is not cheap either.
There is also ivory white wood, which is also very valuable.
The whole Fubo alone is a material that costs thousands of taels, and Liang Qu is not a person who takes advantage of it enough.
He kept this blade and sold it for money, so it was better to leave it to Senior Brother Lu.
The water immersed in gold swung between Lu Gang's fingers, and the thirty-pound blade was no different from a leaf in his hand.
The integration of immersion gold is very good, and it is very easy to use for plastic addition and repair.
Thinking of his broken spirit soldier, if he dragged it any longer, he would damage his spirit.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Gang nodded.
"Then I'll take it."
The nature of his spirit soldier material is very special, and he has not been able to find raw materials to repair it for half a year, and water immersion gold is already the optimal solution under non-homogeneous materials.
Seeing that Lu Gang accepted it, Liang Qu's face was slightly happy.
Senior Brother Xu mentioned it to him before, saying that Senior Brother Lu's spirit weapon had been broken, and it had not been repaired because of material problems.
The biggest feature of Shui Shen Jin is that it is inclusive, and it is very good to repair weapons, so it is sent over non-stop.
Lu Gang put away the blade and was in a good mood.
"Last time I hunted the sturgeon demon, Master asked me to use the demon skin to make an inner armor for one of you, it was only good two days ago, I wanted to find a time to send it over, just when you come over, try it and see if it fits."
In a moment, Liang Qu had an extra black matte back armor on his body, and the inner armor felt good to the touch, rustling, soft and breathable, and did not affect his activity at all.
This is a serious demon beast skin! Hunt tigers against the benchmark!
Changed to a low-level wolf smoke martial artist, the weapon used almost couldn't be cut!
Dressed in a god costume, coupled with the top exercises, with both martial bones and dragon patterns, Liang Qu felt that he couldn't beat himself when he ran idle.
After putting away the inner armor, Liang Qu said goodbye to Lu Gang, who was working on repairing the spiritual weapon, went home to pack up his things, and prepared to go to Fengbu County next door.
This time, the water beast demon is in Wushui Town, under the rule of Fengbu County, and six fishermen have disappeared, and eight have been confirmed dead, all of which have happened in the past half a month.
It is rumored to be a humanoid water demon.
Arm guards, inner armor, and another layer of official uniforms, a mountain cowhide belt on the outside, and cloud boots on the feet.
Fubo, green wolf, Xuanshui fork
Liang Qu grabbed a black big coat, the big one that the second senior brother gave him was very useful, but unfortunately he couldn't wear it, the weather was warmer in April, and it was too hot to wear it.
He shoved it back into the cabinet and took off a waist tag and hung it around his waist.
The waist card of the river park is indispensable, and the identity certificate when you go out is a deterrent to the small.
Midday.
"Is the benefactor going on a long journey?"
In the stove room, the old monk saw Liang Qu and was quite surprised by his dress.
"I'm going to go out in the last three or four days, and if there's something going on at home, Master Lao will take care of it for me."
The old monk clasped his hands together.
"It should be so."
Shangrao port, Liang Qu put things in the canal, and untied the rope.
The area of the county is not standard, and most of them are divided according to the mileage of the galloping warriors running in a fixed direction for a day and a night, which is very huge.
Liangqu takes the waterway to take a shortcut, but it also has to walk for a day and a half, and when the time comes, look for the traces of the water demon in Fengbu County, and it will be done in about three or four days, and half a date can be done.
As for the five-headed water beast.
Liang Qu thought about it for a long time and decided to let the round head stay and take all the remaining four beasts away.
On the one hand, Roundhead has to take care of the little finless porpoise, and on the other hand, Roundhead can be a senior liaison in the local area.
It is smarter than the Four Beasts.
Through the spiritual link, Liang Qu can know the situation in Pingyang County at any time, and by the way, he can let the round head take over the work of the fat catfish and other beasts, so as not to let the fish gang be idle.
In this way, Liang Qu can be called fully armed.
In the lotus root waters, except for Ah Wei on his wrist, the remaining four beasts, including the little finless porpoise, all surfaced.
The fat catfish was so excited that it went out for the first time.
He put a few pieces of lotus root in his fist and put it into the boat, which was the section of lotus root with the most essence of Mizuzawa.
"Round head, the family depends on you, fishing to learn fat catfish them, don't hold on when you encounter danger, the most important thing is to protect yourself and the finless porpoise."
The round head called a few times, all of which reassured Liang Qu.
Liang Qu was confident in the wisdom of the round head, and he put two sets of "fish saddles" on the body of the immobile and fat catfish, and put his fist on it with a rope.
The fat catfish and the long tail can not be shaken, the water waves are discharged, and the strength is used to move forward.
The wind is getting stronger, and there is no trace of the water.
The whole ship was driven by two water beasts, and there was a large crab hanging at the back.
Fengbu County, let's go!
