Chapter 22: The Fisherman's Profit

Tan County, Zhending Tan, Xuanwu faction.

"Invincible Sect?" asked an old man in his fifties in the Ming Hall sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed. He crossed his hands on two walnuts and paused slightly, then resumed his movements.

"Back to the master. It was an invincible sect, and the disciple had never heard of it before. He Qun knelt on the ground to receive the punishment and recounted today's encounter as it was. During the day, he lost face of the Xuanwu faction in Tan County, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

There was a thirty-year-old man standing beside the old man, and he frowned and asked, "He Qun, can you hear clearly? Is it the Splendid Sect or the Invincible Sect?"

"Big brother. It is the Invincible Sect, and the young man named Guan Chang claims to be the head. He Qun said unwillingly. That Guan Chang is ten years younger than him, but his martial arts are not much higher than the head in front of him.

The man known as Senior Brother said angrily: "How can any sect dare to call the Invincible Sect? Fourth Senior Brother, you are clearly deceiving!"

He Qun hurriedly looked at the old man and said sincerely: "Please head Mingjian, he really said so." As for whether he lied to me, I don't know, but the man doesn't seem to be honest. ”

The old man is the head of the Xuanwu faction - Zhao Pushan. He Qun's eldest brother is also Zhao Pushan's eldest son, named Zhao Hui. He Qun was ranked fourth among the disciples.

"The fourth child is upright by nature and won't tell nonsense. Zhao Pushan pondered for a moment and made his own judgment. "It's just that what Guan Chang said, but you can't believe it!"

Zhao Hui glanced at He Qun and asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, tell me, that person actually claims to be the head of the sect, how is his martial arts?"

He Qun thought about it for a while, and felt that it was difficult to describe those moves that he couldn't see clearly. He thought that those attacks that kicked and hit him couldn't be called moves at all, just a few random movements of Guan Chang.

Zhao Hui saw that he was stumbling and couldn't speak clearly, so he asked again in disgust: "You just said directly, you fought with him for a few rounds." How is that man's martial arts better than mine?"

He Qun didn't understand why Zhao Hui would compare himself with the head of another faction, the two were too different in martial arts. He also has a fight with the senior brother on weekdays, and he is definitely not as good as the senior brother, but at least he can rely on brute force to force the senior brother to use six or seven points of true skills.

He Qun shook his head when he thought of this, and said, "Senior Brother is probably not Guan Chang's opponent yet. ”

"What are you talking about!" Zhao Hui's face was full of anger, he thought that his martial arts had entered the hall and he was not a master, but he was barely enough to run rampant in Tan County.

Zhao Pushan was also very surprised, but he still firmly believed that this He Laosi would not deceive people. He asked He Qun very seriously: "Is it true that Guan Chang is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his martial arts are much higher than Hui'er?"

Zhao Hui's face turned red, thinking to himself that He Qun just said that he couldn't beat Guan Chang, how could he become much higher than his martial arts in the mouth of his own Lao Tzu?

No matter how honest He Qun is, he is not a fool, he feels an unkind gaze coming from the top of his head, his forehead is sweaty, his throat is moving up and down, and he is thinking about how to open his mouth so as not to hurt the face of the senior brother.

"Guan Chang has already kept his hand, but I still can't go a round under him. ”

"Click. But it was the sound of the walnuts being crushed in Zhao Pushan's hands, and Zhao Pushan couldn't care about feeling sorry for the pair of walnuts that had been plated for more than half a year, and got up from the chair in surprise.

"What did you say?" Zhao Hui had already turned from anger to shock. He knew that his fourth junior brother's imagination was barren, and he categorically couldn't make up such nonsense.

"If you have such skills, you can barely stir up the muddy waters of Tan County. Zhao Pushan threw away the walnut dregs in his hand, shook his hand and left.

"Senior brother, I'm ......" He Qun saw that the master was gone, and he was also a little anxious, and he didn't know how the master was going to punish him.

Zhao Hui sat on his father's chair at this time and said to He Qun: "Fourth junior brother, stand up and speak." ”

He Qun was flattered and slowly got up. He knew that the head of the door usually didn't care much about the affairs of the door, and Zhao Hui had a lot of power.

Zhao Hui said unhurriedly: "Today you ruined the prestige of your own sect, and you should have been severely punished. However, Nian is loyal to the sect on weekdays, and you are also diligent in your work, and the head of the sect has decided not to dispose of you without the rules for the time being. ”

He Qun clenched his fists, and the pain in his hand made him snort: "Well-thank you, senior brother, disciple later-"

Zhao Hui waved his hand to interrupt his words, stared at his hand and said, "It's just that the fourth junior brother's hand was abolished by that Guan Chang, I don't know if I can still practice martial arts in the future...... Think about it. ”

He Qun froze in place, and when he came to his senses, he found that there was no one in front of him.

......

Late at night, the Xuanwu School, a dedicated practice room.

"Father, I have already told the fourth junior brother what you said. Zhao Hui said as he handed Zhao Pushan a towel.

Zhao Pushan was shirtless, revealing muscles that did not match the half-old face. At this time, he had just finished practicing a set of internal skills of his own sect, "Turtle Decision", and he was sweating profusely, and his head was steaming.

He took the towel and wiped it indiscriminately and said, "It's a pity that He Qun, our vein actually doesn't rely on talent. The fourth child has a simple personality, is diligent in practice and not lazy, and he will be able to make a breakthrough in half a year. Although he will not become a wasted person if he has five fingers, he will not be able to give him that kind of hope. If he cultivates martial arts with his stump limbs, he can only get half the result, and the gains outweigh the losses, and the outcome is worrying. ”

Zhao Hui pursed his lips and said, "Father, you don't tell him this. Then He Qun will most likely think that you dislike him and hold a grudge against you. ”

Zhao Pushan sighed lightly, helpless in his heart, if he said that he was disgusted, it was indeed a little, but he still regretted it mostly.

"What happened to those two disciples?" Zhao Pushan suddenly remembered something.

"I've been expelled from the division. A look of anger appeared on Zhao Hui's face, "They don't have the slightest nostalgia, even if they are killed, they deserve to be killed." ”

Zhao Pushan said: "The lives of the two of them are not much better than being killed. ”

Zhao Hui was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of this.

"You, you, have more eyes on weekdays. Our vein is the most important and strong body, and a body of muscles is important, but don't train the muscles in your brain!"

Zhao Pushan suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Those two people were sent by the Golden Ring Sect to secretly spy on our Xuanwu Sect, Jin Dazhao's methods are not clever, but his heart is really black." ”

Zhao Hui thought for a moment, and his muscular brain turned with all his might, and finally figured out the trick.

Zhao Pushan moved his toned limbs and muttered: "Golden Ring Gate, Splendid Gate, Invincible Sect...... Tanxian Wulin, to be lively. ”

......

"Senior brother, it's not good!" Wang Qiyi shouted early in the morning, pushing the door that opened and closed the room.

"Huh?" Guan Chang had just gotten up and was tying his trouser belt at this time.

"Huh?" Wang Qihe looked at Guan Chang's movements, and he was also quite shocked.

"Ahem. Guan Chang put down the placket of his shirt to cover it slightly, coughed embarrassedly, and asked, "Panicked, could it be that there is a fire?"

Wang Qihe was greatly surprised, and asked rhetorically: "Senior Brother is not only a pillar of optimus, but also like a god? How do you know that there is a fire?" ”

Guan Chang thought to himself, how did I know that there was a fire, I guessed blindly......

Wang Qihe continued: "Last night, Lao Liu's blacksmith shop was burned, and even the three or four shops on both sides were burned to the ground. ”

"But someone was hurt. Guan Chang asked.

"Two died. Wang Qihe said in a low voice.

Guan Chang slammed the table with his fist and said indignantly: "Is it still harming the pond fish and affecting the innocent! Are the people of the Xuanwu Sect mad dogs?" He felt a little regretful in his heart, knowing that most of the fire last night was filled with him and the Invincible Sect!

Wang Qihe pursed his lips and continued, "The two people who died are the two Xuanwu Sect disciples whose fingers were broken by me yesterday!"

"What?" Guan Chang was stunned, "Who set the fire?"

"It is rumored that the county Cheng and the arrester of Tan County have already closed the case at the scene, and they are only waiting for the county order to make a decision. ”

Wang Qihe continued: "Those two people drank until they closed the workshop last night, and the two of them ran to Liu's blacksmith shop to smash and take revenge when they had nowhere to stay. There were a lot of things in the blacksmith shop that started a fire, and they must have inadvertently caused the fire. Maybe they were too drunk to get out. ”

"Is Tan County's case-handling efficiency so high?" Guan Chang asked curiously.

"It doesn't seem to be either, but this time there happened to be a street patrol officer and an old man who played the watch as witnesses. Wang Qihe replied.

"We shouldn't be involved, right?" Guan Chang thought to himself, how stupid these two people must be if they can pay for themselves by setting fire. This matter is obviously full of suspicions, but he doesn't plan to solve this case, as long as it doesn't involve the Invincible Sect.

"No, it won't. The Yamen of Tan County and the well water of the rivers and lakes do not interfere with the river water, and once there is trouble, both sides will not be good. Wang Qihe gave the correct answer after a little thought.

"It's a pity for Lao Liu's blacksmith shop. And the shop next to it can't be used anymore, it's pitiful. ”

Guan Chang heard Wang Qihe's emotion, and suddenly an idea was born in his heart. He asked, "Is the location that you asked you to find in Tan County for Jiantang yet?"

Wang Qiyi was mad when he heard that it was the "store address", and couldn't help complaining: "Senior brother in charge, your requirements are too difficult to meet. It is necessary not only to have a prosperous area, but also to connect several shops together, and to have a low price. We can't take all the good things, can we?"

Guan Chang attaches great importance to the development of the church in Tan County. He wants to refer to some furniture and home improvement brands in later generations, and even the scale should be on par with those big brands. This is difficult for Song Xiong and Wang Qihe, who are in charge of finding the store location. They agreed that the construction mainly depended on manpower and craftsmanship, and that it was superfluous to have a shop.

Guan Chang touched his chin, tapped his lips lightly, and asked, "Second Senior Brother, do you think those shops that have been burned by fire, and the blackened shops in that street market, will they be cheaper?"

Wang Qiyi was stunned, his eyes widened and asked, "Senior Brother in charge, won't it be yours last night's fire-"

"Get out!" Guan Changfei kicked at this junior brother whose IQ was temporarily off.

Wang Qihe walked out of the room with a bitter face, rubbed his buttocks, and muttered, "No, it's not, why do you kick your ass again." ”

Xiao Er, who had just gone upstairs, watched Wang Qihe walk back to his own room from Guan Chang's room with strange eyes, and sighed: "The current guests, the habit is peculiar......"
