Chapter 205

The shed is very simple.

Four logs are inserted into the sand and covered with a layer of cloth or straw mat.

A white-robed monk leaned on a sword and sat under the shed.

Behind him stood five shirtless monks.

Two hyena wolves, nearly ten feet long, buried their heads in a big pot to eat.

There was a circle of people around, two of the children were holding empty bowls and staring at the pot eagerly.

Lu Tong looked around, staring at the white-robed monk.

"Lu Tong, the banner head of the Wolf Sacrifice Pagoda. What is the name of the fellow Taoist?"

"Flying Sand Wolf, Fang Huan."

Sand bandits are generally not called by name, but by bandit number.

The people in Dou Menta are very arrogant.

I used to be a sand bandit, but now I have entered the fort, and I still have a bandit number.

The tower master Dou Wang has 36 confidants, known as "three eagles, nine wolves, and 24 snakes".

He was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, in such a small friction, Dou Menta was one of the nine wolves who came forward.

"Fang Daoyou is here, what's the matter?"

"My Shatian was destroyed. Your people did a good job. There are three acres of ginseng and two acres of burnt wheat."

"Who did it?"

Lu Tong stared at each of them.

Only a few people dared to stare at each other, most of them all pursed their lips and lowered their heads.

"How much loss in total?"

Fang Huan rubbed his sword hilt with his fingers, and said, "Not much, more than a dozen taels. But one piece of land was destroyed, and it is not easy to reclaim the Shatian, so it is a few tens of taels."

Lu Tong frowned slightly, and asked, "Fang Daoyou, do you know who the murderer is?"

"I don't know, but it must be your people. Half a month ago, your people destroyed Shatian once, and the flag leader at that time was Fellow Daoist Feng Sanleng."

"Didn't you find the murderer last time?"

Fang Huan pressed the hilt of the sword with his palm, shaking it from side to side, with a playful smile on his face.

"No, but Fellow Daoist Feng admitted the matter, and asked one of the households to pay us a penny to compensate us for the loss."

He withdrew his eyes and thought to himself: It's really a good plan.

If you don’t pay, Dou Menta will have an excuse to come and make trouble in the future;
Lost, there is a second time, there will be a third time.And this time he admits cowardice, and even his banner head will not be able to lift his head in the future.

"Tomorrow, I will definitely explain to fellow Taoist."

"it is good."

Fang Huan stood up, walked to Lu Tong, and said, "At noon tomorrow, you can either pay someone or pay money."

A group of people, dogs, swaggered away.

Lu Tong walked to the chair and sat down where Fang Huan had sat.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

A group of people chattered:

"Too much bullying, this is the second time..."

"It has nothing to do with my family, I was in the tower yesterday..."

"They destroyed the fields themselves..."

"stop!"

He pointed to a young monk and said, "Say."

The young man was in his twenties, with fierce eyes.When others spoke, they kept clenching their teeth and remained silent.

"They have knives, and so do we!"

The faces of the surrounding people changed, and they all looked at Lu Tong.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Tong's mouth, and he said: "Last time you also had knives, why obediently pay for the money?"

"The one surnamed Feng turned to outsiders last time! As long as the head of the flag helps us, this time we will fight with them!"

Before Lu Tong could speak, several people immediately refuted.

"What are you going to fight for? People from the Dou Clan have been sand bandits and don't want to live anymore?"

"Everyone is from Xingshan Fort, so we can't fight and kill."

"This time it must be a misunderstanding. Let's go to the tower master and let the tower master and the people in Doumen Tower make it clear."

"Is it true that someone destroyed their Shatian?"

"That's right! Whoever did it, stand up and don't implicate everyone."

Lu Tong shook his head.

"Stop arguing! You have also heard that you can pay money or pay people. I will wait for you in the hut tonight. Who knows the murderer, or has other ways to come to me."

Get up and leave.

He just walked away.

The two children holding the empty bowl immediately ran over to pick up their own iron pot.

……

"Flag head?"

In the hut, Lu Tong sat cross-legged on the bed.

Zhao Xijiang came over and stood beside him.

"what's up?"

"Boss, don't be fooled by those guys, they are the best at pretending to be pitiful."

"what?"

"Eighty percent of them did it."

"how do you know?"

"Only they would do this kind of thing. Dou Menta didn't let them build a house. They wanted revenge."

"Why doesn't Dou Menta let him build a house?"

Around the hut, there are several "ruins".

It can be vaguely seen that there are traces of breaking sand and starting construction before, and even walls have been erected in some places and have been pulled down again.

Zhao Xijiang was silent for a while, and said: "They are afraid that they won't be able to keep Shatian. According to the rules of each castle, whoever is closest to the family will return to it. If you suppress it at the beginning, you will be suppressed for a lifetime."

"It seems that you know everything."

There was movement outside the door.

Lu Tong stood up and stretched his muscles.

Zhao Xijiang sighed, and said in a low voice: "Qitou, the manager Gu specifically ordered you to weigh the pros and cons."

He glanced at it and said, "What are the pros and cons?"

Zhao Xijiang's scorched face was wrinkled into a ball.

"That's right, it's good to take a step back and everyone will be safe. If you don't back down, it will be a disadvantage if you lose a lot."

"go out!"

Zhao Xijiang went out.

Three strong young monks got into the hut, closed the door, and knelt on the ground together.

"I beg the head of the flag to be the master!"

Lu Tong took out the tea set, and while making tea, he said, "What do you want?"

"People from the Dou Clan have bullied us several times, begging the head of the banner to take action!"

"You guys are being bullied. If you don't do it yourself, let me do it? Am I the leader of the flag, or is it your trick?"

"We want to make a move, but Dou Clan takes the lead at the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"I'm also building a foundation."

The eyes of the three of them lit up, and they stared at Lu Tong with wide eyes.

He smiled and said: "I won't sit idly by and let the big bully the small. The rest, you decide for yourself."

"Thank you, Flaghead!"

With fire in their eyes, the three walked away quickly.

People came in one after another.

"Qitou, I know who did it. The eldest and second child of the Xiao family, half of his house was pushed away, and they secretly retaliated."

"Qitou, why don't I collect the money for you? One money per family, so that no one will be left behind."

……

Noon the next day.

Fang Huan arrived outside the hut on time with five men and two hyena wolves.

"Friend Lu, have you not found the murderer?"

"No."

Lu Tong shook his head.

"Where's the silver?"

"Get ready, let's go, I will go there with Fellow Daoist."

Fang Huan looked around, then turned his head and glanced at his hands.

"it is good."

A group of people walked to the shed.

There is a large area of ​​simple sheds, and there are several people standing at the door of each household.

The faces vary.

Some didn't notice that something was wrong, and looked at the people of Doumen with disgust on their faces;
Some felt the atmosphere was weird, but didn't know what was going on, and looked around in panic;

Some have fierce eyes, standing motionless at the door, staring at the people in Doumen.

"Friend Lu Dao?"

Lu Tong nodded, stretched out his hand as a gesture, and said loudly, "Fang Daoyou, please! One coin per household."

Fang Huan tightly gripped the hilt of his sword.

The situation is wrong, but I can't retreat. This time, all previous efforts will be wasted.

"Old Gui, bring someone to collect the money!"

"Yes."

Behind Fang Huan, a monk took off his robe, drew out a long knife, called the four people beside him, and led the hyena wolf up.

The hyena wolf is very ferocious, with a mouth full of fangs, which can easily crush a human head.

Every time they came to a house, the hyena wolf growled twice.

The first household, one money;
The second household, one money;
……

In a blink of an eye, ten households were collected.

Fang Huan relaxed a little, and said: "You Daoist Lu wants to stand up for them, but unfortunately their bones are already weak."

Lu Tong nodded and said, "Almost. After a while, it will be completely soft. There should still be a few hard bones."

"Mouth hard or bone hard?"

He smiled and did not speak again, turning his head to look at the shed.

Under a shed, three young men lowered their heads, their heads almost tucked into their crotches.

In front of them, two hyena wolves bared their fangs.

A middle-aged woman with a haggard look leaned forward and handed over a penny.
