Chapter 5 Knocked down with one shot

The spring rain is continuous.

The roads are muddy.

Zhang Lingfeng rushed to Zhou's house before Mr. Zhou sent Master Liu to the Yamen.

The Zhou family is a wealthy family.

There were servants and guards, and the walls around the courtyard were painted.

Zhang Lingfeng knew Master Liu's craftsmanship, and it was unlikely that a wall built just a few years ago would be destroyed by two months of spring rain.

So I went to the collapsed location to take a look.

It turned out that there was a drainage channel next to the wall. There was a gap in the channel, and rainwater continuously penetrated into the wall for two months before it collapsed.

Master Liu was wrongly accused.

"Master, there is a guy who calls himself Zhang Lingfeng asking to see you at the door."

In the Zhou family's living room, a servant reported.

"Mr. Zhou, it's my apprentice who wants to see you. He is currently studying martial arts at Master Ao's martial arts school."

Master Liu said excitedly, he was tied up with five flowers and his face was covered with bruises.

"Master, he is indeed wearing the training uniform from Master Ao's martial arts school."

the servant added.

"Let him in."

Master Zhou glanced at the guards beside him.

Not all those who learned martial arts at the Ao Dagang Martial Arts School could later work as class three yamen servants, and many of them worked as guards for wealthy families.

It happened that the Zhou family had a guard who had learned martial arts at Master Ao's martial arts school.

"Mr. Zhou, long time no see."

Zhang Lingfeng recognized Mr. Zhou, and he remained calm when he saw the injuries on Master Liu's face.

"You came just in time. The wall your master built broke the leg of one of my servants this morning. What do you want to do with it?"

Master Zhou asked.

The servant whose leg was injured was lying on the side.

"Mr. Zhou, things have already happened. If you send my master to the Yamen, your legs won't recover. Why don't you let my master pay some money and let him repair the wall for free? What do you think?"

Zhang Lingfeng did not argue that the collapse of the wall was not caused by Master Liu.

The Zhou family is a wealthy family, and if they go to the Yamen to make trouble, Master Liu will not be able to take advantage at all. Even if there is evidence, the Yamen will not accept it easily. Instead, it will anger Mr. Zhou and make Master Liu's situation even more difficult.

A weak person has no reason to argue in front of a strong person. This is what Zhang Lingfeng has realized over the years.

Master Liu also saw the situation clearly and did not object to Zhang Lingfeng's proposal even though he knew he had been wronged.

"How much do you think a leg is worth?"

Mr. Zhou teased.

"Mr. Zhou is a very wealthy man, so naturally your people are not cats or dogs. Why don't you make an offer?"

Zhang Lingfeng did not conflict with Mr. Zhou.

"One price, twenty taels."

Mr. Zhou said directly.

"Twenty taels? You might as well send me to the Yamen."

Master Liu became anxious upon hearing this.

He is old and frail, and his money is far inferior to that of Zhang Lingfeng. Twenty taels of silver can wipe out all the money in his family.

Zhang Lingfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although he hated Master Liu for betraying him, twenty taels of silver could indeed kill Master Liu.

"Okay, I'll take you to the Yamen now and ask Yang Tou for judgment."

Master Zhou said angrily.

Yang Tou is a chaotou who is about to retire. He has more than a hundred servants under his command. He is a big shot even in the eyes of Master Zhou.

"Mr. Zhou, why don't you listen to me? Yang Tou is busy with official duties, so don't bother him with this matter. Otherwise, let my master pay you ten taels of silver and help you repair the wall."

Five taels of silver is the average annual expenditure for a family of five. Twelve taels of silver requires years of savings. Even someone with a family like Master Liu cannot easily come up with it. But compared to twenty taels, it was less than half, and Master Liu could only admit defeat. He could see that Zhang Lingfeng was just helping to say a word and did not want to cause trouble.

The master-disciple relationship between them had been severed when he informed Zhou Damao to prevent Zhang Lingfeng from practicing martial arts.

Zhang Lingfeng was able to come to Mr. Zhou's home to intercede for him, which was the utmost kindness and justice.

Master Zhou looked at Zhang Lingfeng's training uniform and felt a little unsure. His nickname was Zhou Papi, and his neighbors had all suffered at his hands.

He would never let go of anything he could take advantage of.

But if Zhang Lingfeng becomes a sergeant in the future and comes back to settle accounts with him, it will be difficult to take advantage of today's advantage.

So he looked at the guard beside him.

"How long have you been practicing at Master Ao's martial arts school?"

The guard chief Li Yishan saw what Mr. Zhou meant. Whether Zhang Lingfeng could become a guard in the future would be known after a try.

"Just three months old today."

Zhang Lingfeng said truthfully.

"So, you have learned Master Ao's basic marksmanship."

Li Yishan smiled.

After only three months of training, if his qualifications were mediocre, he could be defeated with one shot.

"I just practiced marksmanship for two months."

Zhang Lingfeng didn't hide anything.

"I have also studied in Master Ao's martial arts school before. Let's discuss. If you can last ten rounds in my hands, I will do as you say. If you can't hold on, then do as Master Zhou wants."

Li Yishan suggested.

"it is good."

Zhang Lingfeng agreed without even thinking.

Anyway, Master Liu is responsible for winning or losing. He just took this opportunity to make a break with Master Liu.

Of course, he also knew that Li Yishan and Mr. Zhou performed this show just to see how talented he was and whether he would be recommended by Ao Dagang to be a servant in the future.

Based on Tang Baihu's teaching attitude, Zhang Lingfeng could more or less judge that his talent should be on the passing line of Ao Dagang.

Therefore, as long as Mr. Zhou feels that he may become a servant, even if he loses to Li Yishan today, he will not be embarrassed.

"Give him a gun."

He was so refreshing that Li Yishan was a little unsure.

So, the two came to the yard.
"please!"

Li Yishan got into a stance, danced his spear, and shot out a stream of gunfire for everyone to see.

"it is good!"

Zhang Lingfeng, on the other hand, skipped the fancy moves and took the initiative to attack Li Yishan with a Qinglong water-launching spear.

He has the blessing of destiny that every move will hit.

In addition, this move has the strongest attack among the basic marksmanship, and it is also his most accomplished marksmanship. The moment the spear was thrust out, Li Yishan's eyes widened, and he felt that every gun shadow was covering his body, and no shot missed. .

He immediately knew that Zhang Lingfeng had good marksmanship skills, and his Qinglong water-splitting spear move was even at the level of Xiaocheng.

This is an achievement he only achieved after one year of practice.

Li Yishan has been able to conclude that Zhang Lingfeng can become a servant, and he cannot defeat him within ten rounds.

But now that I have handed over my hand, I must show off my strength no matter what, and make Mr. Zhou proud.

"Ok?"

However, when he was about to catch Zhang Lingfeng's shot, he found that the shadow of the gun easily broke through his defense, as if it had the power of a lock, and easily knocked off his spear, knocking him down with one shot.

"boom!"

In the public eye.

Zhang Lingfeng thrust his spear forward, and at an extremely tricky angle, he shot down Li Yishan's spear and knocked Li Yishan down.

Li Yishan lost his balance and hit the ground in the courtyard head-on. His head was buzzing. He decisively closed his eyes and passed out.
