After the year, Mingzhou City has returned to its former appearance, and the people on the street are busy with their own things again.

Granny Zhang, who sells noodles, spread out a stall on the street early, standing at the head of the stall and laying noodles, as the mist disperses, the fragrance of the plain noodles also wafts through the streets and alleys.

Boss Wang of the pawnshop took a set of tables and chairs and placed them in front of the door, drinking tea calmly, waiting for the day's business. Looking at his appearance, he should be thinking about deducting a few taels of money from the pawn goods again.

Lu Laohan, who sold dry cakes, also drove the ox cart into the city today, and heard that the bandits some time ago had been exterminated, so he dared to continue to enter the city to do business.

After finding a good spot everywhere, Lu Laohan jumped out of the ox cart and set up his stall. Although there are usually not many people who buy dry cakes in the morning, he is still used to going out early. After all, selling more is some, isn't it, and in a few years his youngest son should also marry a daughter-in-law, and it is always good to prepare more dowry.

At this time, a man dressed in linen clothes with his head bowed suddenly walked over, stopped in front of Lu Laohan's shop, and asked.

"Uncle, how much is your dry cake?"

Lu Laohan raised his head and glanced at the man in front of him, only feeling that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it for a while.

In fact, standing in front of him at this time was Wada Mamoru who robbed him of two dry cakes some time ago.

It's just that Hetian Shou has cleaned up at this time, and he is no longer the unkempt appearance he had before, so it is normal for Lu Laohan not to recognize it.

"A penny. Lu Laohan opened his mouth and said, his dry cake is a real thing. The price is affordable, Tong Su is not bullied, not asking for how much to earn at one time, just asking the guests to come again next time.

"Okay, then get me two. Wada Shou said, but took out four copper coins from his arms.

He had come to pay for his mistakes this time.

For him, no matter how big or small, a mistake is a mistake, and since he wants to return to the path of the samurai, then he must make up for the mistakes he has committed before, which is called severance.

Only by cutting off the past can the samurai go to the back road. This is what his father had once told him.

After taking the dry cake, Hetian Shou put the four copper coins into Lu Laohan's hand, and then turned to leave.

Lu Laohan counted the copper coins in his hand, only to find that there were too many of them, and he was about to stop Hetian Shou, but when he looked up, he couldn't find Hetian Shou anymore.

In this way, the last fault has been paid.

In the crowd, Mamoru Wada put his hands in his sleeves and walked quietly, thinking silently in his heart.

I can also go forward, the way forward.

At the gate of the city, a young man in fresh clothes walked to the edge of the city on a tall horse with a wide sword hanging from his waist and wearing a cloak. His face was like a knife, his expression was cold, his eyebrows were like swords, and his body was straight. The appearance should be handsome, but it is also sharp.

When he hurried his horse to the city gate, the soldiers defending the city immediately saw him, stood up straight, and said politely.

"Left catcher, you're back. ”

"Well, you still have to defend the city all the year, and it's hard for you. The young man on the horse answered, turned over and dismounted, and asked with the same polite arch of his hand.

"Nothing major has happened in the city lately, has it?"

"This ······" The soldier hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.

"Nothing serious, it's really tight. ”

It's just that some Jianghu people and bandits came, and now they are all gone.

"That's good. The young man known as the Left Catcher nodded, then said with a fist at the soldier.

"So the brother went back to the government to resume his life, and you took your leave. ”

"Farewell. The soldiers also smiled and saluted, made a way, and let the young man go.

In the bustling city of Mingzhou, the young man in the black cloak led the horse slowly into the street.

······

Zuo Liangping, twenty-two years old, is a head catcher, the head catcher of Mingzhou City. But at the same time, he is also a fast catcher, a candidate for six doors. Entering the six doors has been his wish since he was a child, and now, he feels that he is very close to this wish.

His father was also a fast catcher, and since he was a child, his father liked to tell him the stories that came out of the six doors. Among them, what he likes to listen to the most is naturally the biography of Yan Tingzhi, the head of the southeast of the six gates, and the arrest of the thief Li Si.

In the story, Yan Tingzhi is always so jealous and hateful, and Li Si is always so heinous. But every time, Yan Zhutou would be a little bit close to catching Li Si. is also every time, Li Si can always escape from the round-up of the six doors.

So from then on, he swore that sooner or later he would also enter the six gates, and he would help Yan Tingzhi Yan catch his head and catch the thief Saint Li Si.

For this goal, he practiced martial arts day and night until his father died in the line of duty and his mother died of illness.

When he was seventeen years old, he swore another vow that he would put all the wicked men he saw in prison, and that he would give justice to his father and that his mother would rest in peace.

At the age of eighteen, he entered the government and became a catcher. At the age of twenty, he was honored and became a head catcher. At the age of twenty-one, he was exceptionally promoted and went to Six Doors as an alternative.

At the end of this year, he fulfilled his childhood wish, met Yan Tingzhi, the head of the southeast chief catcher of six doors, and solved a big case with him. Twenty-three key criminals were arrested, two officials of the court, and 5,000 ingots of silver, 600 horses of silk, and 313 boxes of armament were seized.

Yan Zhutou seemed to be very satisfied with his performance, and before leaving, he even explained his intentions, saying that he wanted to accept him as a student and let him consider it.

As for Zuo Liangping, Yan Zhutou is indeed the most powerful head catcher he has ever seen, with strong martial arts, decisive action, meticulous thinking, not afraid of official authority, neither humble nor arrogant to officials two levels older than him, but he is approachable to his subordinates. Everything about this man is like what he fantasized about as a child, and even more so in some places.

To be Yan Tingzhi's student, Zuo Liangping is naturally 10,000 willing, but this also means that it is difficult for him to have any time to return to Mingzhou City. He still had some things to attend to in Mingzhou City, so he took a leave of absence and came back.

Yan Tingzhi agreed, and gave him a letter to hand over to the prefect of Mingzhou City to facilitate the transfer of positions in the future.

Walking on the street, Zuo Liangping gently clenched the letter in his arms.

It was all like a dream for him, he could finally enter the six doors, and he could finally go and arrest the villains who were running in all directions.

It's a pity that his father and mother can't see all this anymore.

"Whew. Slowly letting out a breath, Zuo Liangping let go of the hand holding the letter and thought to himself.

Wait, father, mother, sooner or later, I will become a famous headhunter in the world. At that time, I will definitely not let a single person be bullied again.

There is also the thief Saint Li Si, no matter where he hides, I will arrest him sooner or later to repay the teacher's lifelong wish.

Thinking of Yan Tingzhi's expression when he mentioned Li Si, Zuo Liangping had already made up his mind.

······

"Ouch. In the backyard of Qianjialou, as a rattan fell, Ning Caihe screamed again.

At this time, he was holding two bowls of water in his hands, standing in the courtyard and squatting on horseback.

Li Si stood behind him, patting the rattan in his hand leisurely, and said lazily.

"Spill the water again, and hit it twice. ”

As for the force of the whip, he naturally controlled it very well. The pain is painful, but it will definitely not hurt Ning Caihe, and it can also help him relax his muscles and bones, so as not to stand for a long time and cramp.

"Si, Si Ge ······" Ning Caihe held the bowl, and said with a trembling voice: "I've been standing for half an hour, let me take a break." ”

Looking at his appearance, he should have been about to cry.

"You yourself said that you want to learn light skills, how can you learn without a little hardship, be good, stand for another half an hour, and we will rest. Li Si looked at Ning Caihe's appearance and shook his head helplessly.

He told Ning Caihe in advance, learning internal skills is one thing, learning light skills is much harder, and if he wants to teach him seriously, he won't release water.

Ning Caihe himself agreed to this, saying that he was ready.

But now that I'm ready to prepare, hey, this today's child is still too pampered. I think when he was learning light skills, one bad thing was to fall off the cliff and fall half to death.

Did he cry out bitterly, he couldn't shout if he wanted to.

However, to tell the truth, there is a person who is willing to learn his martial arts, and he is quite happy in his heart.

Let's also think that we have a successor.

Looking at Ning Caihe in the courtyard, Li Si smiled softly, and then, another rattan struck him.

"Hold your chest up, tuck your belly, raise your head, sink your waist, straddle your horse, tie your sides, and don't spill water. ”
