Li Qiufeng secretly thought that although most of the so-called "miracles" passed on by the people were unreliable, if we talked about the origin of the matter, there could still be some shadows of real things. Henan was originally a battleground for soldiers, and Xiuwu County was the gateway to the north of Luoyang City, an important town in Henan. Since ancient times, I don't know how many great battles have been fought here. Since the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys of various festivals supported the army and stood on their own, not only with the imperial court, but also attacked each other, and the war lasted for more than a hundred years. Thinking about it, there was indeed a tragic siege in Xiuwu County, which made the people of the whole city in a desperate situation. However, the so-called Guanyin Bodhisattva took the eighteen Arhats down to save the people, which is naturally a second-in-the-line saying that future generations will add oil and vinegar.

The two talked and talked, and soon arrived in front of the City God Temple. I saw a large open space in front of the temple, which was enough to accommodate 10,000 people. The temple faces south and is next to the city wall. Li Qiufeng looked at the temple gate, only to see the temple gate carved beams and painted buildings, more than one zhang and five feet high, and a corner door was opened on both sides. The entire wall is high, painted with white powder, and the top is paved with black tiles. The main entrance is painted in a variety of colors and looks gorgeous.

Li Qiufeng looked around and said, "This City God Temple is so gorgeous, why is it so deserted, and there is no one?"

Yin Zhutou smiled bitterly and said, "It's very lively here on weekdays, but if it's the day when the righteous people gather, ordinary people won't come here, so as not to get into trouble." At present, there is not a single ghost here, and there are a lot of ruffians who want to come, and they are all gathered in the temple at this time, so naturally no people dare to come to incense. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "I see that Huang Zhixian is a rather shrewd person, doesn't he know the disadvantages of gathering these people?"

Yin Zhutou shook his head, and said: "Lord Zhixian is a good official, he has been a county magistrate in our Xiuwu County for more than ten years, and he can be called fair and honest. I heard that he was excellent in the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials every year, and the governor of Henan, Yamen, wanted to promote his official position several times. Every time we hear the news, the people of Xiuwu County will elect the three elders and implore Huang Zhixian to stay. But these are all legends from the outside, I don't know if it's true or not. The disadvantages of the so-called 'righteous people', with Huang Zhixian's shrewdness, how can he not know the reason? But the strange is here, that Master Zhang is obviously a bastard bastard, but Huang Zhixian treats him very well, although he can't say that he obeys his words, he doesn't even say a word to him. Master Zhang used the righteous people to search for silver taels, and Huang Zhixian also turned a blind eye, teaching us to be strange. Among the county yamen, if you talk about ability, Master Feng's talent is ten times better than Master Zhang, but Master Zhang became the master of the county magistrate's book case and became his cronies. Although the magistrate treats Master Feng well, he only listens to Master Zhang's ideas in major matters. ”

When Yin Zhutou said this, seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "We have heard of one thing, and we don't know if it is true or not. It is said that before the magistrate was not promoted, his family was poor, and he couldn't even get together to go to Beijing to catch the exam. This Master Zhang is a fellow villager of the county magistrate, and his family has a lot of money. However, although Master Zhang's family is extremely wealthy, he is not the same as the county magistrate. It's just that the two have a very good personal relationship. One day, Master Zhang asked his father, Mrs. Zhang, what kind of business in the world can make ten times the profit. Mrs. Zhang replied that Shu brocade and Jiangnan silk are famous all over the world, but Shuzhong is far away, the road is steep, and Jiangnan and the north are separated by the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and it is extremely difficult to transport the silk from these two places to the north. Is it because if someone can find a proper way to traffic silk from Shuzhong and Jiangnan to the north, how can the profit be more than 10 times? Master Zhang also asked, if you want to make a 100-fold profit, what kind of business should you do? Old lady Zhang said that selling illicit salt can make huge profits. Selling illicit salt from the coastal provinces to the interior can make a hundredfold profit. Old Lady Zhang laughed and said to Master Zhang, the business that has made thousands of times more huge profits in the world is to become an official.

Master Zhang listened to the old lady's words, thinking that he was not the material for reading, so he pressed the treasure on Huang Zhixian's body. He took two silver taels and funded Huang Zhixian to go to Beijing to take the exam. In the end, Huang Zhixian was the champion of high school, ordered Hanlin, and was released as an official. In order to repay Master Zhang's kindness, he invited him to be his master. Although he knew that Master Zhang was greedy, as long as he didn't go too far, the magistrate could only turn a blind eye......

Li Qiufeng saw that Yin Zhutou was spitting and spitting, and secretly thought in his heart, this was obviously a copy of whether Lu Buwei and his father had a private discussion on whether they should help Qin Yiren return to Qin, and I thought that these were just legends that the people of Xiuwu County had added fuel and vinegar in private, and they were not reliable at all. Although Huang Zhixian was born in Kejia, he has only been a small official with the size of a sesame mung bean in Zhixian for so many years, how could he be the top student in high school and order Hanlin back then? It can be seen that most of the private discussions among the people are unreliable. It's just that Li Qiufeng didn't bother to talk to Yin Zhutou about these things, and when he saw that he was so upright, he just smiled slightly, but he didn't reveal it.

When the two were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the City God Temple. Yin Zhutou stretched out his hand to push open the temple door, only to hear the voices of people in the temple, which was very lively. When the two walked into the courtyard, they saw that seventy or eighty people had gathered in the courtyard, and they were dividing themselves into several groups and talking together. When they saw Yin Zhutou walking in, these people immediately stopped talking, and the courtyard was quiet in an instant.

Yin Zhutou put away the cautious appearance in front of Li Qiufeng, swaggered to everyone, crossed his hands on his hips, smiled, and said: "Why don't you talk when you see me, is there something to hide from me?"

But when he saw a person coming out of the crowd, he bowed his hand to Yin Zhutou and said with a smile: "How dare we hide anything from Yin Zhutou, it's just to get together and laugh." Seeing that Yin Zhutou had arrived, everyone stopped talking and listened to Yin Zhutou's teachings. ”

Li Qiufeng stood behind Yin Zhutou, and when he saw the person who spoke, he immediately recognized him as Wan Congyun, who had had several faces. knows that this person is a man of the hour in Xiuwu County, and he is called Wan Er Ye but not famous. Then Li Qiufeng glanced at the crowd again, and saw that Mei Dali and others were also crowded in the crowd. Li Qiufeng was angry and funny in his heart, and secretly thought that as Yin Zhutou said, these so-called "righteous people" in Xiuwu County are indeed some ruffians, not to mention their low skills, but they are extremely cunning. Huang Zhixian has to rely on these people to maintain law and order in the county, but he is afraid that it will backfire, and he must cause trouble.

Yin Zhutou smiled: "Lao Wan, you are making fun of me." How dare I, a little head catcher, teach you? But early this morning, Huang Zhixian sent a message and invited a chivalrous man with great skills to be your commander. ”

When Yin Zhutou said this, he turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Li Daxia, come and meet you." ”

Li Qiufeng took two steps forward, stood in front of everyone, clasped his hands into fists, and said: "In the Li Qiufeng, I have seen all the heroes." ”

Although Li Qiufeng and Yin Zhutou walked into the City God Temple one after the other, they are just like Wan Congyun and Mei Dali, who are best at seeing the wind and making the rudder and burning the stove. Seeing that Yin Zhutou had arrived, his mind was on Yin Zhutou, where would he pay attention to Li Qiufeng? At this time, when he heard Yin Zhutou say that Li Qiufeng was the commander of the righteous people appointed by Huang Zhi County, his thoughts immediately turned sharply, thinking about how to make a big deal of Li Qiufeng's ass. It's just that when everyone saw Li Qiufeng's face clearly, they were immediately dumbfounded, almost unable to believe their eyes.

Since Huang Xu ran away, Huang Zhixian once summoned righteous people to assist in finding Huang Xu. Wan Congyun and others also had a fight with Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao at the entrance of Wangmiao Village, and as a result, these people suffered a big loss under Li Qiufeng. Later, Yuntai Mountain's Wuji Temple, Xiaoyaoguan, and Kongming Temple were burned to a white ground, and Jinyiwei ordered Xiuwu County to send a mission to Yuntai Mountain to assist in handling the case. Huang Zhixian summoned Wan Congyun and others again, and went to Yuntai Mountain with Yin Zhutou and others to run errands. It's just that after arriving at Yuntai Mountain, the important officials of Jinyiwei, Henan Governor Yamen, and Luoyang Prefect Yamen were all on the mountain, and the so-called righteous people such as Zhukuai and Wan Congyun in Xiuwu County naturally couldn't get into the eyes of these big officials, so they were sent to the foot of Yuntai Mountain to investigate the suspects. It happened that Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao passed under the mountain, and they faced Wan Congyun and the others again. After these two incidents, Wan Congyun and the others all knew that Li Qiufeng was an extremely difficult master, and when they saw that this person had become the leader of the righteous people, they were stunned with fright.

Li Qiufeng saw the expressions of Wan Congyun and the others, and knew that everyone was frightened, so he smiled slightly, and said: "As the so-called life does not meet, Li and you are really fateful. However, this time I was ordered by the magistrate to work together with you to maintain law and order in the county. Li is a newcomer, and I ask you to take care of me. ”

Wan Congyun is the leader of the villain, and what he is best at is to see the wind and rudder, and slap the horse. Among these so-called "righteous people", his mind turned the fastest. Li Qiufeng's voice fell, Wan Congyun looked flattering, took a few steps in front of Li Qiufeng, slammed it to the ground, and said: "The villain Wan Congyun has seen Commander Li." ”

Li Qiufeng raised his right hand weakly, and said in his mouth: "Why do you want to make this big gift, you can't afford it." ”

Wan Congyun stood up straight, said with a smile: "Commander Li's words are laughing. In front of Commander Li, the villain is just a grass people, and the word 'second master' is just a joke shouted by the villagers, and Commander Li must not mention these two words, otherwise he will kill the villain. ”

Mei Dali's brain is not as flexible as Wan Congyun, but at this time, he also reacted, squeezed in front of Li Qiufeng, learned Wan Congyun's appearance, and also shook it to the ground, and said: "Villain Mei Dali, meet the commander." ”

Li Qiufeng listened to his nondescript title, and his heart was angry and funny. But talking to these villains in the market can't be anything special. It was he who signaled Mei Dali not to be polite, and exchanged a few words with him. At this moment, another person was squeezed out of the crowd. I saw that this man was as thin as a bamboo pole, and his horse face was very ugly. It looks like a thirty-year-old and a forty-year-old, and it is not uncommon to say that it is fifty years old. In short, this person has a strange face, which is really unforgettable.

This person squeezed in front of Li Qiufeng, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Villain Ba Yuyan, meet the commander." ”
