Senior Brother Tian's name is Tian Yuan, and he is also one of the more outstanding disciples of the martial arts hall, and his strength is on a par with Chen Yingjie.

After the autumn hunt, the performance of the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion really alleviated the original predicament, and the employers of the previous ten senior brothers hurriedly renewed the contract, and the price was renegotiated.

Moreover, there are many other employers who have come to the door, and many of them have cooperated with the Songhe Martial Arts Hall five years ago, and they know each other well.

Senior Brother Tian and the four of them were invited by such an "old acquaintance" half a month ago.

Unexpectedly, it was only half a month, and things went wrong.

When Su Hanshan came to the main hall, he saw that the second uncle and the senior brother were there, and the four of them were slightly injured, and after bandaging, they were also accompanied in the hall.

The old acquaintance Han shopkeeper had a very good attitude, although he lost a batch of goods, he did not appear aggressive, and he was anxious to ask the Songhe Martial Arts Hall to be responsible for the aftermath compensation and so on.

He himself was also a little embarrassed, holding one hand of Su Tieyi with both hands, and he was repeatedly thanking Senior Brother Tian Yuan and others for saving their lives.

It seems that he should have been frightened by those bandits, but listening to him, thanks to the escort of Senior Brother Arita and others, he and his men escaped with him, and none of them were seriously injured or killed, and he was very happy.

"Cangshui County, how can there be bandits?"

Su Hanshan asked beside the senior brother with some doubts.

In his impression, since he was born, Cangshui County has never heard of any large-scale bandits.

The forces of the five martial arts halls are located at the junction of the residential areas of the county town and the mountains, and there are a total of 400 county officials inside, patrolling and policing day and night, so that there are no bandits in the vicinity who can survive.

Even in the surrounding counties, there is relatively little information about bandits.

"It's not in our county, they are bandits in the border area between Cangshui County and Shihao County."

Zhou Zifan explained in a low voice, "I think it should be from Shanyang County." ”

"In September, I heard in restaurants that with a large number of refugees coming north, many of the local bandits in Shanyang also fled out."

"The refugees are in a difficult way, but most of the bandits are fierce and strong, often ahead of the refugees, wreaking havoc in villages, towns and counties."

Just when he explained to Su Hanshan, the shopkeeper Han over there was also pacified and went to rest first.

Only his own family members are left in the main hall, and some things are much easier to say.

"The matter of Shopkeeper Han is the first trouble that needs to be solved after our martial arts hall has hope of revitalization, and it must be handled safely."

Su Tieyi said, "No matter what his attitude is, we will definitely compensate in accordance with the rules, Zifan, now you are in charge of the accounts, how long do you think it will take for us to compensate?" ”

Hearing the topic of money, everyone was full of sadness, and Senior Brother Tian Yuan and the others sighed and lowered their heads.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zifan gave them good news.

"You can pay now."

Zhou Zifan said, "This time, we have been helped by our uncle to practice and recuperate secretly, and the medicines we need to buy have been reduced a lot, and the expenses in this regard are far less heavy than before." ”

"As the first in autumn hunting, driving beasts for the people, the government has a reward of silver, plus the prey of autumn hunting, except for the red fire beehive, all have been sold, and the silver in our account now can directly compensate for the loss of the Han shopkeeper."

Su Tieyi's spirit perked up: "Good! ”

"But if we lose this money, our restaurant will have to reopen."

Zhou Zifan said, "From September to November, those three have also passed the most emotional time, and the risk of our opening is not so high." ”

Su Tieyi was silent for a while, nodded, and then scolded: "These bandits who are not long-eyed, who hurt us, and make us poor, Lao Tzu wants to find them out in person and throw them into the Nucang River one by one!" ”

"Wait!"

Zhou Zifan hurriedly persuaded and said, "According to Senior Brother Tian's description, there are no masters in those bandits, let the junior brother take someone there, and you should be able to take them down." ”

Su Tieyi said: "Then I'll go faster!" ”

"Uncle Shi, you have other important matters."

Zhou Zifan's eyes turned and said, "Gao Xianling is very interested in the Red Fire Hive, and the price offered is also kind, but Uncle Shi, you still want to wait a little longer, so you didn't rush to agree to him before." ”

"Now you will send someone to send a message to the county order, and agree to the matter of the Red Fire Hive selling him, on the premise, please invite the owners of the other four martial arts halls to the county order mansion tonight, and talk about Tianming."

Su Tieyi was a little puzzled: "What are you talking about?" ”

"There are too many things to talk about in the identity of the martial arts hall owner and the local county commander, and Lord Gao can easily come up with a thousand reasons, so we don't need to help him with this."

Zhou Zifan advised, "When the four pavilion masters arrive, let the people from the county order house come to inform, and then Uncle Shi, you will bring the Red Fire Hive over." ”

"Remember, Uncle Shi should restrain his breath, don't go to the place where they will be guests in front, in the backyard, just talk to the housekeeper of the tall man about the hive, after the negotiation is completed, you will sit there and drink tea and enjoy the scenery, and make sure that those hall owners do not leave the table halfway."

Su Tieyi nodded, and went out to find someone to spread the news.

"That's how the senior brother arranged."

Su Hanshan asked, "Do you think this robbery is a bureau set up by a certain martial arts hall?" ”

"If we could endure it back then, they will definitely be able to endure it, wait for a better time, and will not make such a rude and unsafe method."

Zhou Zifan took a sip of tea, "But it's still just in case." ”

Everyone nodded their heads, understanding his intentions.

Su Hanshan said again: "It is also the realm of the Heavenly Ladder, and the second uncle is not a light and spiritual person, can he really completely hide from those people?" ”

"The county order has long been dissatisfied with the behavior of Lei and Huang and trying to control the county government."

Zhou Zifan was very satisfied with the little junior brother's keenness, and said with a smile, "Five years ago, if it wasn't for the great changes, the Gao County Order would have introduced the power of our Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion into the county government and formed an alliance, so that he could use his own means." ”

"Now that he's talking about repairing relations with us, why don't we follow the trend?"

Su Hanshan thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but say a bad word about the second uncle: "This kind of thing is to win over allies, and let the second uncle be responsible, it doesn't feel particularly stable." ”

"But at this beginning, I have to go to Uncle Shi to have enough weight."

Zhou Zifan said with a smile, "For the follow-up, I will connect with Gao County's order." ”

Su Hanshan relieved his heart.

Five years ago, when Su Chaodong was still there, many things in the martial arts hall had already referred to Zhou Zifan's opinion.

Manage accounts, screen allies, use tepid means to increase deterrence, and so on.

In this kind of thing, the senior brother can not only beat the second uncle, but the details of his experience are much stronger than Su Hanshan.

"Then I'll take care of leading people to deal with those bandits."

Su Hanshan said to Tian Yuan, "Senior Brother Tian, you go to rest first, and when it is confirmed that the four pavilion masters have gone to the banquet, we will set off again!" ”
