Chapter 6

After several days in a row, the Yunju county government did not have much food in storage, and every meal was less than one meal.On this day, Lord Lu called Hu Tutou, Liu Kuaizui and Zhang Wenjin into the house to discuss how to get some money to tide over the difficulties.

"My lord, Hu Butou, I have an idea. I don't know if I should say it or not." Liu Kuaizui stood up and said to Hu Butou and Master Lu.

"Old Liu, it's already at this time, what else should I say, everyone is almost out of food. Tell me." Hu catcher said impatiently.

Master Lu also looked at Liu Kuaizui.

"I have a cousin who lives next door in Wenju County. Two days ago, he asked me to find a few men to help their sect fight for the crowd. I wonder if it is..." Liu Kuaizui said.

Before Liu Kuaizui could finish speaking, Master Lu interrupted: "Isn't it appropriate? We, the majestic county yamen servants, went to help the sect to gather the number of people, and participated in the fights in the rivers and lakes. If it gets out, people will laugh at it!"

"My lord, look at what I just said. Now our county government is almost out of food, so we have to find a way to solve food and clothing." Liu Kuaizui said helplessly.

Hu Butou sighed, and everyone present was silent. Zhang Wenjin had already started planning where he should go after the gang broke up.

At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and a gust of wind Li Cheng pushed the door and walked in. After saluting Master Lu and Hu Butou, he went straight to the table, picked up the cup in front of Liu Kuaizui, and drank all the water in the cup in one go.

"Li Cheng, how is it?" Lord Lu asked concerned.

"My lord, don't mention it. The shopkeeper of the grain store said that in the future, anyone from our county government will not pay on credit when they go to buy grain. I have been arguing with the shopkeeper for a long time, and he didn't even give me a face." Li Cheng was weak. Said.

Everyone in the room fell silent again.

"That's it. Liu Kuaizui, you go and contact your cousin and discuss the price." Lord Lu pondered for a moment, then said helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Liu Kuaizui said as he got up and was about to leave.

"Slow! Tell your cousin that we can go, but we must not let people know that we are members of the county government. We have to show up in the name of the local sect." Hu Butou said.

Liu Kuaizui turned to look at Hu Butou and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to them." After speaking, Liu Kuaizui strode out of the county office.

At noon on the second day, Liu Kuaizui ran back to the county government excitedly.

"Where's the head catcher and your lord?" Liu Kuaizui asked when he saw Zhang Wenjin when he entered the hospital.

"Your Excellency and Catcher are in the backyard. Li Cheng has gone to the mountain to cut firewood." Zhang Wenjin said.

Seeing Liu Kuaizui rushing to the backyard in a hurry, Zhang Wenjin followed curiously.

"My lord, Butou, I'm back!" Liu Kuaizui said when he saw Hu Butou and Master Lu talking in the courtyard.

"How is it?" Lord Lu asked hastily.

"Good thing." Liu Kuaizui came to Master Lu and said: "My lord, I have discussed with my cousin, we will go out to occupy the venue in the name of their sect, just to increase the number of people."

"Which sect are they going to negotiate with this time?" Hu Baotou knew that some small local sects like to pull big banners, and they like to attract people to occupy the venue and create momentum when negotiating with other sects.

"This time is different. Some big sects in the Jianghu, such as the King Kong Temple, Jianshan School, Kunlun School, and some martial arts families such as the Xia Family, the Lu Family, and the Shi Family have all participated, saying that they want to create some kind of martial arts. General Assembly." Liu Kuai said happily.

"This..., will it be too dangerous this time? After all, it's not a negotiation. If the martial arts conference really takes place, and you fight with real swords and guns, I'm afraid..." Lord Lu asked.

Master Lu has not yet reached the point where he loves the people like a son. He is really afraid that if Hu Butou and the others leave and never return, he will become a poor commander, and then he will be alone. I can't stay in Yunju County any longer.

"Don't worry, my lord. There are nearly a thousand people in the martial arts participating in this meeting. It is very safe for us to paddle behind. Besides, the fee given by the other party this time is high, five taels of silver per person. The four of us, a total of It’s 20 taels, and they paid five taels first, and if anyone is injured, they will treat it.” Liu Kuaizuo said and took out the five taels of silver and put it on the table.

Master Lu smiled when he saw Yinzi.

"Liu Kuaizui, to be honest, did you earn extra money this time? Tell me honestly." Seeing Liu Kuaizui so excited, Hu Butou knew that he had something to gain.

"Hey, Hu Butou is really sharp-eyed. I contacted a few idlers in the nearby villages, a total of ten people, and gave them 30 taels of silver. I kept 20 taels and contributed all of them to our county government. This is a deposit of ten taels. "Liu Kuaizui said and took out another ten taels of silver.

"Okay, I'm in charge of the 20 taels of silver. Liu Kuaizui will keep five taels for his meritorious service, and the rest will go to the county government. This is not an example." Master Lu put away all the silver, and said: "Wen Jin , you take the money and go to the village to buy some wine and meat, let’s have dinner at night, you go out tomorrow, this meal should be regarded as my seeing you off.”

Zhang Wenjin promised to take the money Master Lu handed over, and rushed out excitedly.

In the evening, Li Cheng cooks and cooks a table of food and wine for everyone. Everyone sits around the table, eating and drinking. Everyone knows that this action is not as dangerous as before, but no one mentions it. Drink and eat, enjoying this hard-won "delicious food".

The next day, Zhang Wenjin changed out of his police uniform and followed Hu Butou and others to Wenju County outside the mountain.Master Lu sent everyone outside the gate of the county government office, and waved goodbye.

Wenju County is much wealthier than Yunju County. Wenju County is a major traffic route, and most business travelers pass by here.There are many sects in Wenju County. Liu Kuaizui’s cousin is a disciple of a small local sect, Heihumen. In this martial arts conference, all the local sects want to take the opportunity to build relationships with the major sects who came here. Find a backer for yourself.But helplessly, the small sects didn't have the skills to make a move, and there were few disciples under the sect, so they couldn't attract the attention of the big sects. Therefore, some local small sects, such as the Black Tiger Gate, the Long Spear Gate, and the Dadao Gate, etc., fought for their heads after discussion , Gather the number of people, occupy the space, and create momentum.

Hu Butou took Zhang Wenjin and others to Wenju County, was recommended by Liu Kuaizui, and soon moved into the inn under the contract of Heihumen, eating three meals a day, so uncomfortable.

There are too many people living in the inn, there are casual cultivators in the rivers and lakes, and there are idle people in the village, as long as they can stand up and take a knife or sword to count, they can be counted as the number of people.When it's time for dinner, just report your name and you can enter the hotel lobby to eat and drink for free.

Hu Butou was eating the big cake in his hand, and whispered to Zhang Wenjin and others next to him: "It's really better to let Lord Lu come too, it would be nice to have food, drink and money!"

More and more people from the rivers and lakes came to Wenju County, the inns in the city were full, and even many nearby private houses were rented.The streets are full of people, as lively as a festival.

A team of masters who came from the capital had just settled in an unremarkable small courtyard outside the city.

"My lord, the orthodox sect that these gangs are doing is too flamboyant. I'm afraid they have already moved the helm of the Heavenly Demon Palace." A man in gray cloth said to Qinglong Lingyun who was sitting in the hall drinking tea.

"What are you afraid of? They came to Wenju County this time in the name of the martial arts conference. You don't have to worry about these old and cunning guys. Do your own thing well, take care of your own people, and don't worry about other things. Remember that we are in the dark." Qinglong Lingyun put down his teacup and said coldly.

"Yes, I will obey your lord's order." The gray cloth man bowed and said.

Qinglong Lingyun came from the capital this time, bringing thirty subordinates with him.This operation is classified, so no one knows except for a few high-level people in the six doors.The house they lived in was also built by Six Gates in the early years, and it is usually used as a secret base of Six Gates.

At this time, Wenju County was more lively than usual, because people from King Kong Temple and Kunlun Mountain had arrived.They are also the initiators of this martial arts conference.

Under the leadership of Jindaomen, some small sects in Wenju County went out of the city for ten miles to meet the people from King Kong Temple and Kunlun Mountain. The grand occasion was unprecedented.

In the evening, to everyone's surprise, the two great monks of King Kong Temple, Master Huineng and Master Huiming, and Feng Yong, one of the Three Musketeers of Kunlun Mountain, did not accept the welcome banquet, but called all the invited papers. The heads or persons in charge of the rivers and lakes sect in Juxian County went to the mansion of Jindaomen for a meeting.

The gate of the Golden Knife Gate was tightly closed, with three steps, one guard and five steps, one whistle. The meeting was held for more than two hours, and it was only in the middle of the night that it dispersed.
