Chapter 48, Bandit Rent Collection, Part [-]

The old county magistrate stroked his beard, thought for a while, and said, "I think it will be tomorrow at least. After all, Jinshan County has been obedient for so many years, and the bandits should not suspect that Jinshan County will cause harm to them." What harm, if the people who came to collect the rent tonight haven't returned, most people in the mountain will think that these people don't know where to go. They will come to Jinshan County when they find something is wrong. Inquire about the news again and get the preparation information before doing it again."

After hearing this, Meng Jingye nodded and said, "Well, I'll just sit back and wait for them to come and die!" The old county magistrate was overjoyed after hearing this, and flattered Meng Jingye again. After being an official for so many years, the old county magistrate Ling's skill in flattering was not bad, and it didn't take long before he almost lifted Meng Jingye to the sky.Meng Jingye was very happy after hearing this.We also complimented each other with the old county magistrate, and everyone was enjoying themselves. It was good for you and me. After the old county magistrate was satisfied, he said goodbye and left.

Standing at the door, Meng Jingye saw off the old county magistrate. Looking at the back of the old county magistrate, she didn't know what she was thinking, but the old county magistrate gave Meng Jingye a very strange feeling.But I don't know where this feeling comes from.I can't figure it out!Meng Jingye saw that the back of the old county magistrate had disappeared at the corner of the street, so she turned and went back.

Early on the next morning, a bunch of people came to learn martial arts. They were all the remaining young people and boys. Meng Jingye thought this was normal. After all, in the Wu Dynasty, except for the fathers in the family who studied martial arts, other families basically Girls are not allowed to practice martial arts, so it is reasonable that no girls come to the door. Meng Jingye stood in the middle of the school grounds and taught them some boxing and kicks. After doing a set of boxing, she continued to fight slowly, and while I explained the key points, then played a few more times, and then let them practice by themselves, correcting their movements one by one.

There was a boy who was particularly noticeable. While the others were still imitating and doing some stupid tricks from time to time, this boy had already punched a set of punches in style!Meng Jingye was also very concerned about him, and taught him carefully. In the afternoon, Meng Jingye let others go first, but left him alone, and taught him some other things, and he learned very quickly. , Meng Jingye already had the idea of ​​accepting him as an apprentice.

So he asked: "What's your name?" The little boy said: "My name is Li Fan!" Meng Jingye touched Li Fan's head with a smile, and said: "After you learn martial arts well, what do you want to do? "Li Fan shook his head and replied: "I want to do great things like the county magistrate's grandfather! Be a person under one person and above ten thousand!" Good officer!The person under one person and above ten thousand people must be the prime minister!I have a lot of ambition~
So he said to Li Fan: "Then you have to practice martial arts well." Li Fan replied seriously: "Of course, I have to learn to be smart! I won't be as stupid as the county magistrate grandpa!" Meng Jingye said again Said: "Your Majesty is not stupid, it's just that you have no other way to get to this point." The little boy said: "You don't understand!" Then he ran out and said: "I'm going home to see my mother, otherwise she We need to hurry."

Looking at the energetic child, Meng Jingye was also happy in her heart, and thought: After the bandit matter is dealt with, I will go find his family and propose to accept him as an apprentice. With such a high understanding, he must be a good seed!I must have done such a big thing for Jinshan County by then, because it will go smoothly!Then he also returned to the house.

In the cottage, Fang Zhu, the head of the house, sat at the head, and the second head of the house sat next to a few small bosses. Fang Zhu glanced around and said, "Where did the third brother go? Didn't he go to collect rent? Why haven't you come back all night?" The little bosses below looked at each other, not knowing what to say.The Erdang family took a fan and fanned the wind, and said: "This place, we all know that a bird has gone out, so the second brother must not have gone out to wander around. I reckon, I am afraid that something happened in Jinshan County. !"

Fang Zhu raised his right foot, stepped on the tiger leather chair he made, and put his right hand on his knee.Said: "What changes can happen in Jinshan County? We have pulled out all the teeth of the old immortal, how can he support us? What can he use to deal with my second brother? If he could deal with it, he would have dealt with it long ago. There is no need to wait. How many years have you been there?”

"Crack!" The second master put away his fan, covered his mouth with the fan, and said in a low voice, "Don't you think it's strange?"

The little bosses were even more confused, Fang Zhu said unhappily: "Second brother, don't try to play tricks on me, just tell me what you have to say!" "

The second master said mysteriously: "Our good neighbor is gone!" Fang Zhu thought for a while and realized that it was indeed the case. In the past, he and Luliang Qisha would still see each other once or twice every day, with different interests and different objects. , so there will be no conflicts. Everyone occasionally exchanges things they need for electricity, but in the past few days, Luliang Qisha has disappeared from the road.

Fang Zhu said: "You mean someone is here?"

The second master clapped the fan in his hand and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. I estimate that those Lu Liang Qisha will have to be killed!"

Fang Zhu thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be! The government can't control us and won't send anyone here. The little Poison Fairy is guarding the mountain col. Our county is surrounded by mountains. People from the neighboring county have to pass there if they want to come. You It’s not like I don’t know about her virtues. Anyone from other counties is used to test the poison. Who can survive those poisons?”

Erdang spread out his fan again, continued to fan the wind, and said: "I mean, a dragon crossing the river came from another county, and the poisonous snake of the little poison fairy must have been swallowed. By the way, Lu Liang Most of Qisha's team has become dead bones in the tomb."

Fang Zhu also felt that this was really the case!It felt a little bad, so he asked: "Second brother, you are the only one who is resourceful here. Then you can give me an idea. What do you think we should do about this matter?" The second master smiled and slapped him a few more times, and said: " Brother, you’ve asked the right person. I guess this raptor doesn’t know anything yet, so why don’t we be polite first and then fight?”

"Courtesy first, soldiers later? How do you say that?" Fang Zhu asked suspiciously.

Er Dangjia said: "Of course, first find someone to come to see the situation and see what kind of person he is. If you want to provoke him, then do it, if you don't want to provoke him, don't provoke him."

Fang Zhu thought it was the same, he didn't know how many people the other party was and what he looked like, so he went to the door excitedly, afraid that he would suffer a dark loss!It's better to find out the truth first!So he said: "Who wants to go?" All the little bosses looked at each other, but no one answered, and they were not stupid. , I went to the community to send warmth?Still be an ostrich.

For a long time, no one spoke.
