It is clearly recorded that in order to build this Grand Canal, millions of people were invested in it, and an incalculable amount of money was spent.

However, after a long time, many disadvantages were born around the canal, the most serious of which was the water bandits and river pirates. In the beginning, these water bandits and river robbers only dared to rob the cargo ships of the wealthy gentry.

Slowly, even the official food, tax and silver transferred by the court were not spared.

It is extremely difficult to eradicate water bandits and river bandits. The river area in the open canal stretches for hundreds of miles, with a flat river and unobstructed view. As soon as the water bandits see the state capital sending troops, they disperse and catch a few small fish and shrimp It is easy, but it is basically impossible to completely eradicate it.

"This year, more than a dozen ships of tax money were given to the state capital, and half of them were robbed by Jinfan bandits and Hun Jianglong. The higher-ups held accountable and reprimanded the government and Taiwan for the crime of negligence. If the bandits are not suppressed, the robbed tax will be recovered. Yin, this government station is about to wear shackles and sent to the state capital for questioning."

Zhou Futai looked serious, he didn't exaggerate, this time he couldn't escape, if he didn't make some merits, the position of this Futai would not be secure.

"Master Futai means to let the lowly rank lead the army to conquer the water bandits and the river bandits?"

Speaking of this, Chu Ying did not foolishly guess the intention of Zhou Futai to summon her.

"As I said just now, my subordinates are worthy of great responsibility, and you are none other than you. This time, the matter of suppressing bandits will be handled by you."

Chu Ying thought about it for a while, then said in embarrassment: "Humble job... I'm afraid I can't afford such a heavy responsibility."

"The water bandits are cunning, and they are all familiar with the terrain of the river area. It's okay for Master Futai to ask me to kill some of the minions who can't make it to the top. If you want to encircle and suppress the martial arts masters among the water bandits, it's useless to rely on many people."

"For example, Wang Xingba, the Jinfan thief who robbed the tax money, is a master of the fourth-rank marrow washing realm. He has thousands of water bandits and river robbers under his command. A master of marrow washing."

"Is there no other way?" Zhou Futai frowned in displeasure. This time, it was the above's intention to let him suppress the bandits. Obviously, he couldn't explain it by pretending. He had to make some achievements.

"Rong Beizhi think about it." Chu Ying closed her eyes, her brain was running at high speed, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Yes! Do you still remember the person I mentioned to you before?"

"It's the kid who has cultivated to the third grade at a young age, and his strength is not inferior to yours. He joined hands with you to eradicate Lianjiabao, and refused to join the demon town and demon slayer?"

"My lord is right at all." Chu Ying's eyes sparkled, and she said firmly, "If you can convince him to join the lowly officials in suppressing the bandits, then Jinfan bandits and Hunjianglongs are all fine. It is also easy to recover the robbed tax money.”

"Where is he now? Are you willing to serve the court?"

"He came to Daze Prefecture not long ago, and he is familiar with the lowly position, but it may be difficult for him to work for the lord. This person is calm and cautious. If you want him to work for the lord, it depends on what benefits the lord can offer. gone."

These days, the slogan of serving the imperial court and eliminating harm for the common people can no longer be chanted, so it's okay to fool the fledgling, passionate young man.

"Humans have weaknesses, and warriors are no exception. This kid can refuse the opportunity to step up to the sky and join the demon slaying division and demon suppression division. It can be seen that he can't be subdued casually." Zhou Futai asked Chu Ying slanderously. , "What does he like, whether it is gold and silver, or martial arts cheats, our station can try its best to satisfy him."

"What do you like..." Chu Ying muttered. She and Fang Ping really didn't know each other in depth. If you want to talk about what Fang Ping likes.

In a short time, Chu Ying went through the pictures of herself and Fang Ping several times in contact in her mind, and she probably had the answer, and said with an unsure face: "This guy once abducted another person's wife."

Zhou Futai:? ? ?

Are young people nowadays able to play like this?

"That is to say, this Fang Ping likes mature women?"

An idea appeared in Zhou Futai's mind, "If you pass on the words of Benfutai, just say that Benfutai will host a banquet for him, and after three days, let him go to the banquet."

"The humble job takes orders." Chu Ying left, but her heart was agitated. She really regretted that she arranged Fang Ping behind her back, and she was also curious about what methods the master of the government would use to win Fang Ping.

At noon the next day, Chu Ying was still hesitating when to go find Fang Ping.

In the outer city of Daze Prefecture, Wansong Academy.

Fang Ping led Fang Ying out of the carriage, walked through the gate of the academy, and found the registration office of Wansong Academy.

According to the shopkeeper Tong of the inn, the master of Wansong Academy, when he was young, was a juren and served as a county magistrate, and later he offended him and was dismissed to open Wansong Academy.

Those who come to Wansong Academy to study are all young children from nearby families who can afford Shu Xiu.

The so-called Shuxiu is filial piety, the tuition fees that students pay teachers, ten taels of silver a year.

In the elegant and chic courtyard, the sound of reciting was constantly heard.

The old master with white beard and hair was holding a thick and yellowed book in his hand, listening to dozens of children reading in unison.

"Go in." Fang Ping watched Fang Ying enter the courtyard.

The recitation stopped abruptly, and dozens of children looked at Fang Ying in unison. The old master coughed dryly, and said sternly, "Sit down for me."

When looking at Fang Ying, the old master was also serious, with a stern look on his face: "Are you here to study? Have you ever paid Shu Xiu?"

Fang Ying nodded wisely.

"Then go..." The old master looked at the seats in the courtyard, "Go and sit in the last row."

Fang Ying walked to the last row.

The old master called out to Xiao Nizi, "A gentleman must know where he comes and goes, how did you come to the academy?"

"Come here by car."

"Okay, go sit in the penultimate row."

Suddenly, the old master asked: "Did you come by ox cart or by horse cart?"

Fang Ying blinked her eyes, very puzzled, but still replied truthfully: "He came by carriage."

"Okay, you can sit in the first three rows. Where do you live?"

"Tongfu Inn."

"Then what do you do at home?"

"My second brother is an entry-level martial artist, but he is amazing."

After questioning and answering, Fang Ying's position went from the last row to the first row in an instant.

Fang Ping, who witnessed the whole process outside the hospital, was still confused.

Has the place for teaching and educating people become so dirty and muddy?

Chapter 92;

At the hour of You, the sun goes down, everything is quiet, and a row of wild geese crosses the horizon.

"That's all for today, and the class will start tomorrow."

The old master glanced at the sky, and just as he finished speaking, dozens of children in the yard ran outside as if they had been reborn.

There are also a few children who talk to Fang Ying, saying that they are going to catch fish by the river together.

Fang Ying readily agreed, and immediately became one with several children.

But when she walked out of the academy happily, she was caught by Fang Ping.

"Run!"

A moment ago, the children who had been talking to Fang Ying about going to the river to catch fish all slipped away with oil on their feet when they saw Fang Ping's statue-like physique.

"Get in the car." Fang Ping yelled flatly, and took Xiao Nizi back to the inn, and asked on the way: "Do you understand what the old man taught?"

Fang Ying shook her head.

"Literacy and hyphenation are the same as practicing martial arts. After a long time, you will naturally gain something."

In the future, the task of picking up Fang Ying can be handed over to Li Rou. Fang Ping has opened his eyes today. He still clearly remembers the questions that the old master asked Fang Ying. The first row is really not that easy to do.

Tongfu Inn, lobby.

The business is still booming, the shopkeeper Tong, who still has charm, and the handsome and handsome Lao Bai, are so busy that they can't even drink their saliva.

As soon as Fang Ping walked into the lobby of the inn, he keenly smelled a strange and strong fragrance.

Lao Bai sneakily poured a cup of tea, delivered it to Fang Ping, and reminded in a low voice: "There is a... guest, it's a bit weird, the scent in this hall is left by that guest, be careful, he Live next door to you."

It was cloudy, Fang Ping wanted to ask something, but Lao Bai had already turned around and went to work, so he knew it from his appearance.

"next door?"

Fang Ping didn't take it too seriously, he is now a master of the third rank, and there are only a handful of things in Daze Prefecture that can threaten him.

When he returned to the guest room on the second floor, Fang Ping glanced at the room next door. Through the door, he could smell a refreshing fragrance, as elegant as a lotus, and as delicate as a gardenia, but within this refreshing fragrance, hidden There was a foul smell.

"Second brother."

Fang Ying also smelled the fragrance, but she didn't smell the rancid smell contained in the fragrance.

"Go back to the house." Fang Ping led Xiao Nizi into the house.

In the next room, a pair of eyes slowly opened.

Sitting in the shadows, a pair of eyes seemed to see through the wall, showing shock that could not be concealed.

"Up to the third rank! This kid has actually cultivated to the upper third rank?"

Simply unbelievable.

At this time last year, the boy had just entered the third-rank middle school.

In just one year, the boy actually cultivated to the upper third rank.

"Monster! There is no monster in a million! This kind of cultivation speed is no less than those young talents from the thousand-year-old family and the holy land of martial arts."

"And the mysterious precious blood contained in his heart is becoming more and more extraordinary. Could it be that this kid's ancestors also had martial arts powers that surpassed the mortal body and awakened the blood of the ancestors?"

"If this is the case, refining him today would be a bit of a waste of time. You can enjoy it when he becomes stronger."

The young man in red exuded a strange and strange fragrance with every breath, and his coquettish and beautiful facial features were as thrilling as if he had carefully outlined them. At this time, he was extremely excited.

The prey was far more precious than he expected, so precious that he was reluctant to kill him, like a person who had been hungry for half his life, but got more food in vain, and felt satisfied just looking at it.

……

The sunset outside the window was like blood, and the family of three sat at the table to eat.

Fang Ping, who could taste the strange fragrance with every breath, was indifferent at first, but now he became a little curious.

It was easy to find out, the man always had to get out of the house.

The next morning, Li Rou sent Fang Ying to the academy. Before walking, a dozen heavy armored cavalry appeared outside the inn on tall horses.

"Wait for me outside."

Chu Ying gave an order and walked into the lobby of the inn.

Old Bai shivered and hid behind the curtain, thinking he didn't come to arrest me, the shopkeeper would not allow him to run away.

Facts proved that he was overthinking, Chu Ying looked at the empty inn lobby, and shouted: "Where are people!"

Lao Bai pretended he didn't hear it, but shopkeeper Tong hurried downstairs, "Guest officer, it's so early."

"I'm here to find someone." Chu Ying expressed her intention.

A while later, in the guest room on the second floor, Fang Ping looked at the woman who came to look for him, and said displeasedly: "Master Futai invited me to a banquet? Why did you invite Fang to a banquet for no reason? Didn't you tell me not to recommend me? If you want to be effective, you want to practice martial arts."

"Don't worry, this matter involves the suppression of bandits in the canal. I want you to go with me, and that's why the Master Futai invited you to a banquet. At that time, you can offer the conditions you want, and treat it as a favor." I have a favor."

Chu Ying described what happened in a simple and easy way, so that Fang Ping could understand.

"Canal Bandit Suppression..."

"With your fifth-rank martial arts strength, you still can't wipe out a group of water bandits and river bandits?"

Fang Ping asked cautiously.

"Ordinary water bandits and river robbers are nothing to worry about, but this time Master Futai wants to take back the tax money that was robbed from Hunjianglong and Jinfan thief. They are all fourth-rank martial arts. There are thousands of water bandits."

Chu Ying explained sincerely.

"How much benefit can Master Futai give me?" Fang Ping is not short of money at present, but it does not mean that he will not be short of money in the future. According to the current consumption progress, the savings in his hand will not last long.

"I don't know, just don't open your mouth like a lion. The master of Futai can still give you 5 to [-] taels of silver. You need to have an interview with the master of Futai." Chu Ying got up, "The time is tomorrow, why don't you go? "

"Thirty to fifty thousand taels of silver, this business is quite a bargain."

Fang Ping decided to take a trip.

After Chu Ying left for a while, Lao Bai knocked on the door with a pale face.

"I don't want to eat."

"Sent, according to the rules of our store."

Lao Bai put down a few dishes, and tried not to deliberately ask: "The one just now..."

Fang Ping squinted at Lao Bai, he was clearly a master, why is he so timid, he would turn into an enemy at the slightest sign of trouble, could it be that he had done some shocking crimes, so he hid in this Tongfu Inn as a waiter.

"Chu Ying, haven't you heard of the thousand-man general who commanded heavy armored cavalry in Daze Prefecture?" Fang Ping teased with a smile: "She came to ask me to help him go to the canal to suppress the bandits. I'm out of breath."

"Suppression of bandits? Be careful, the water bandits and river bandits on this canal are all ruthless people who kill without blinking an eye, and there are a few masters among them." Lao Bai left without staying long.

One day passed away calmly, and it was Ri Fangping who arrived at the government office in the inner city of Daze Prefecture as scheduled.
