Cultivation of Immortals starts from the blacksmith shop

Chapter 23 Making things difficult

Lu Qi pushed the door and walked out.

at this time.

Outside the house, in front of the blacksmith shop, a group of people had already gathered.

Neighbors are watching from a distance.

Among the group of people, Lu Qi frowned when he saw a few familiar figures for the first time.

Those people were from the Lu family, and they were all dressed in silk and satin, with a big word [Lu] on their chests.

Lu Qi went up and stood behind the stone pier, separated from these people by the blacksmith shop.

And the door wasn't open.

First, there was a young man who was the same age as Lu Qi, with an arrogance on his face and an air of nobility all over his body.

Seeing Lu Qi coming out, he said, "Lu Qi, you dare to make us wait for you for so long, how brave you are."

Lu Qi cupped his hands and said, "Cousin Lu Fan, I'm sorry, I'm just too tired and overslept, so I didn't hear the shouting."

But the young man cried out strangely, and said, "Lu Qi, you are so bold, who is your cousin? You have been expelled from the Lu family, and you deserve to be my cousin?!"

Several other members of the Lu family also scolded: "Lu Qi, do you dare to seek relatives?"

Lu Qi felt chills in his heart and suppressed his murderous aura.

These people are all from the Lu family. Lu Fan is the son of the second uncle of the Lu family, and also the elder brother of Lu Yu from the secret workshop. Naturally, he is Lu Qi's cousin.

but.

Now he doesn't recognize Lu Qi.

Lu Qi didn't care too much, but he still cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm the one who climbed up."

Seeing his apology, Lu Fan snorted coldly, a little smug.

The surrounding Lu family members also sneered and sneered, as if being able to step on Lu Qi's feet would make them very happy.

As everyone knows, the so-called apology, in Lu Qi's view, is neither painful nor itchy.

To save trouble, he can apologize all day.

but.

These people are also on Lu Qi's must-kill list. If they don't die today, they will die in the future.

Lu Fan snorted, "Lu Qi, a homicide occurred in Yuexiang Tower last night. The entire family of the Jin family was killed. There are rumors that low-grade knives were used, and there is a fixed number of low-grade knives in the city. Only newcomers here can make low-grade knives." , do you know who the murderer is?!"

This is actually very inspiring.

Whether Lu Qi knows him or not, he may fall into a trap.

Lu Qi quickly panicked and said, "Master Fan, where do I know any murderer? And I can make low-grade knives, and I have registered with the county government, and I can only make qualified ones, and only for Brother Dao gone."

One day after Lu Qi was able to forge a low-grade knife, Lu Qi had already asked Li Muer to go to the county government to register.

That's why Jia San, the yamen servant, knew that Lu Qi could also make low-grade knives here.

Lu Fan naturally knew how it was possible for Lu Qi to know the murderer, he just wanted to find a reason to make things difficult, but he didn't expect Lu Qi to be so leak-tight.

Just when he wanted to continue to embarrass him, a team of yamen servants suddenly came.

The one in the lead was tall and strong, and the yamen servant next to him was an acquaintance, Jia San.

The burly yamen servant who appeared in Yuexiang Tower last night was none other than Huang Li, the head catcher of the county government. Five years ago, he was already a triple-yielding master, and he was the right-hand man of the county lord.

Huang Li caught his head and shouted: "Mr. Lu Fan, when did you have the right to interrogate the people of Qianye County?"

Lu Fan had known that Huang Li would come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, so he cursed secretly.

Humph said: "Huang Li, don't think I don't know, you want to take this opportunity to be appreciated by the giant knife gate, so that you can enter the outer gate. Humph, let's see if you have the qualifications!"

Huang Lidao: "Lu Fan, I don't know if we are qualified, but you are definitely not qualified. You want to be appreciated by Judaomen for bullying the same clan and robbing women from the common people?!"

Lu Fan was furious.

Confront Huang Li.

The rest of the Lu family and the government servants also confronted each other.

moment.

Lu Fan shook his hand and left.

Although the Lu family has a big family and a great business, it will still be very difficult if they openly confront the county government.

He even felt that Huang Li deliberately provoked him to make him do something wrong and thus be out of the game, so he calmed down and chose to leave.

as predicted.

Disappointment flashed in Huang Li's eyes.

Then he looked at Lu Qi, cupped his hands and said, "Master Lu, I have heard about you for a long time, and I have admired you for a long time."

This move can be regarded as giving Lu Qi enough face.

The neighbors were all terrified and envious.

Different from being appreciated by Master Jin, to be recognized by Huang Li's head catcher is to go to heaven.

After all, Huang Li is stronger, has a deeper background, and has a bigger backing.

One represents the thief and the other represents the official.

Who is strong and who is weak can be seen at a glance.

Lu Qi cupped his hands in return, "Don't dare to act, don't dare to act, what orders Huang Butou has, just order."

He understood that Huang Li, as a head catcher and a triple martial artist, had given him enough face in front of him, an ordinary teacher with a bright face, and even rescued him, so he must have something to ask for.

as predicted.

Huang Li showed a satisfied smile, glanced at Jia San who was beside him, and Jia San quickly smiled and said, "Master Lu, do you still remember what you promised me at the beginning? You will build something for us."

Lu Qidao: "Remember, Brother Jia has something to order, so he dare not refuse."

Jia San was immediately satisfied.

He said again: "Back then you still had work, so I didn't want to bother you. Now that the work at hand is finished, I'm here to bother you."

Lu Qi cursed in his heart.

When Brother Dao asked him to play a sword, Jia San didn't dare to provoke him, so he didn't dare to jump in line and let Lu Qi forge it.

Brother Dao and Lord Jin are both dead now.

He immediately took the headhunter to claim credit.

Lu Qi doesn't have a job right now?
Anyone can see that there are some farm tools piled up behind his blacksmith shop, which belong to ordinary people and are his daily work.

As a result, he jumped in line directly.

but.

Lu Qi wouldn't say much either.

He said: "Third brother, if you have something to do, just tell me directly."

Jia San smiled and said: "We know that you have made ten knives for Jin Ye, and all of them are good knives. Master Lu, you are very capable. The county government is very optimistic about you."

"After my struggle, the county government decided to cooperate with you and give you ten knives, ten swords, and ten axes. They are all low-grade tasks, and they will be completed within a month. No problem, right?!"

Ten knives, ten swords, ten axes? !

Different ironware requires different materials.

Just ten knives, not to mention a month, an ordinary master craftsman would also need two months.

Not to mention, there are swords and axes, and only one month is given, which is simply squeezing.

Seeing that Lu Qi didn't say a word, Jia San became anxious, worried that Lu Qi would pick him up, and said, "Master Lu, this is a good opportunity to connect with the county government. Others don't have this fate."

He deliberately raised his eyebrows in the direction where Lu Fan left.

The implication is that if you don't cooperate with the county government, the Lu family can kill him at any time!
Lu Qi naturally understood, but he didn't like being threatened the most.

It was obvious that there was something to be asked of him, but in the end it seemed as if he wanted to show favor to him.

It was still Huang Li who caught the head and said: "If you have any difficulties, just ask. I think you are no longer an ordinary person, but a warrior in the leather refining realm?!"

Jia San was shocked, Lu Qi is a warrior in the leather refining realm, is he the same? !
The neighbors were also shocked.

Lu Qi clasped his hands and said, "I'm laughing at Catcher Huang. A few nights ago when I was working hard to forge iron, I realized something by chance and gained some strength. I think it's a breakthrough."

Really, the leather refining realm.

Lu Qi understood that ten knives in seven days would definitely be suspected by others, and if he was still an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to do it.

Since someone doubts, then admit it.

Anyway, the world only thinks that he is at the level of skin refinement, but in fact he is at the level of internal energy.

There is also an advantage in acknowledging that it is a leather refining realm, and it can save a lot of trouble. For example, there are some gangsters nearby looking around, probably looking for an opportunity to make things difficult.

Whether he thinks he is weak or an old master, he wants to beat the bamboo pole, or he wants to please the Lu family, it is a troublesome matter for Lu Qi.

Now knowing that he is in the leather refining realm, the gangsters dare not come.

Lu Qi was also able to eat meat openly and improved his food.

Huang Lidao: "No wonder you can forge so fast, but ten knives, ten swords and ten axes a month is really difficult, but it is also your chance to turn around."

"You have strength, and you can also make a pinnacle knife. The Lu family will not let you go easily. If you can get things done this time, I will recommend you to the county government."

Lu Qi immediately refused. He didn't want to enter the county government. Wouldn't that mean he was living under the fence? !

He can confess love when necessary, but he doesn't want to love love forever.

He said: "Thank you, Huang Tutou, for showing your love. I'm embarrassed to use it, so I won't have a vegetarian meal."

Jia San hurriedly said: "Master Lu, you want to reject the county government? This is a rare opportunity..."

Lu Qidao: "The third master misunderstood, I refused to enter the county government, and I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned by the county government."

He called the third master, which proved to be alienated from Jia San.

Jia San didn't know it, but when he heard that he was willing to complete the task, he nodded in satisfaction.

Huang Lidao: "Master Lu, you don't want to enter the county government? Forget it, I won't force you, but this move can be regarded as the county government owes you a favor. You have this token. If you have something to do, you can go to the county government to seek asylum."

He took out his waist card and handed it over.

Lu Qi saw that it was the badge of the arresting house, one of the six houses in the county government. If he took it, he was considered half a member of the arresting house without the bird suit.

It is considered to have an official identity protection body.

Lu Qi is delighted, his strength can stop the gangsters, and this waist card can make Lu Jiaming dare not touch him.

Saved a lot of trouble.

Lu Qidao: "Huang Baotou, my family is poor, and I can build it, but I lack iron materials, and I can pay less for handwork, but I have to work day and night, and my physical fitness can't keep up, so I can't do anything..."

Huang Li snapped his fingers, and a team of mules came creaking in the distance and pulled a batch of things.

They naturally came prepared.

Never give Lu Qi the chance to refuse.
