Chapter 6: Master [signed a contract

According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, when constables go to the countryside to handle cases, they can eat in the countryside.

In other words, township officials are obliged to provide meals for the case-handling constable.

Generally, in order to make the constables do their best to handle the case, the standard of this meal will not be bad.

In the battle of Xiaochen Village today, the constables lost most of the losses. Although the main reason was not in Dasang Township, in order to appease the frightened constables and to let the constables work hard to protect the village in the next time.

Li Zheng and Li Xu from Dasang Township also invested money and directly slaughtered pigs and sheep to prepare a sum of food to reward the detectives and yamen runners.

He even raised money to send a silver coin to each detective and a hundred copper coins for each yamen runner.

After Wang Cheng pulled Liu Fei to find Li Xu and asked the food, the other party directly asked the villagers who acted as chefs to bring them half a pot of cooked mutton and a pot of white rice so that they could eat with their stomachs open.

After the cooked mutton was dipped in the sauce, Wang Cheng drank five pounds of mutton and two large bowls of white rice alone.

"I'm so kind, Brother Cheng, you can really eat it. In this way, I won't dare to invite you to a restaurant for dinner, as it will make me poor!"

Liu Fei watched Wang Cheng kill so many foods by himself, and was frightened by his big appetite. He couldn't help but look at him in amazement and let out a strange scream.

"Hehe, I ate a little too much today, but today is quite special. It should be enough for two pounds of meat. I think Zhang Huai and the others usually eat this way."

Wang Cheng touched his stomach with a little embarrassed and smiled, but the words in his mouth made Liu Fei roll his eyes.

"Two pounds of meat are not enough, okay?"

He murmured softly, and then picked up the bowls and chopsticks and ate the meat in big mouthfuls.

Anyway, these meats are given in vain, and if you don’t eat them, you won’t eat them.

After eating and drinking, Wang Cheng and Liu Fei took a walk along the street to digest food, and helped to maintain public order on the street. This would not be a waste of eating the meal just now.

When I walked all the way to the street outside, Wang Cheng looked up and saw more than ten war horses driving towards the village in the distance. On the back of the war horse that was leading was Captain Du in a head-on costume.

"It's Boss Du who is back, and it seems that he has brought some amazing experts!"

Liu Fei also saw the more than ten riders coming quickly, and his face showed joy and whistled.

Soon the more than ten cavalry entered Dasang Township, and Wang Cheng and Liu Fei also saw clearly the appearance of the other knights behind Captain Du.

"Li Tong, the owner of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall, and his two second-time disciples of the blood boiling blood."

"Guo Biao, the owner of the Iron Sha Martial Arts Hall, and he is a disciple who is boiling in the second blood."

"There are also Chen Yuanlong, the chief escort of the Feilong Escort Agency, and two second-time Qi and Blood Boiling Escorts."

...

Liu Fei's eyes kept wandering around the faces of the knights behind Captain Du, and quickly reported the names and origins of these people as if they were familiar with them.

At the end of the conversation, he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "Good, how did Captain Du invite these people?"

The people he mentioned were all well-known figures in Dantu County.

Even Captain Du, it is not easy to invite any party, let alone invite them all.

"Is this necessary to think? Apart from the county master personally ordered, who else in Dantu County could have such great face and let these big guys come to a remote place like Dasang Township?"

Wang Cheng's eyes were on Li Tong, the owner of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall, for a while, then closed his eyes and answered Liu Fei's question in a plain tone.

The county magistrate of the family was destroyed and the prefect of the family was destroyed.

In a county, the county magistrate is undoubtedly one of the most powerful people.

The people who followed Captain Du may have extraordinary strength and have a high status in Dantu County.

But if they dare not follow the orders of the Dantu County Magistrate, their martial arts halls and their escort agencies will definitely not be able to continue to open, and they may also face imprisonment due to some old things.

Liu Fei also understood this truth, so after hearing Wang Cheng's words, he immediately sniffed and stopped talking.

After Captain Du entered the village, he quickly summoned all the constables and yamen runners to announce the matter.

"Dear colleagues, after hearing the report from this captain, the county master has used a quick horse to rush to the Demon Suppressing Division in the Mansion City to report the news. I think that the Tiqi of the Demon Suppressing Division will come here to deal with the matter tomorrow afternoon!"

"But before the arrival of the Tikka of the Demon Suppressing Division, we had to beware of ghosts that would cause the strong yin energy to harm people at night. Therefore, the county master specially ordered Master Li, Master Guo and Chief Chen of the Imperial Head to take people to the countryside to guard this place with us."

"So, please rest assured that with this Captain Li and Master Li, the warriors who have been boiling blood for three times, even if there are ghosts here, they will definitely be told that they will never come back and go!"

In the yard, the loud voice of Captain Du spread. Not only the constables and yamen runners in the yard clearly heard it, but also the many rural warriors and villagers gathered outside the yard could hear it very clearly.

It can be clearly seen that the Tiqi who heard the "Demon Suppressing the Demons" would come tomorrow, and four warriors who had three times of qi and blood boiling will participate in the guardianship of the countryside tonight.

Whether it is the constable in the yard, the village heroes and villagers outside the yard, they all show excitement.

Even Wang Cheng had a look of interest in his eyes.

He also heard of the "Demon Suppressing Office" and knew that it was a violent institution affiliated to the Tang Dynasty. Its nature was somewhat similar to that of a certain bureau in his previous life. There were many martial arts masters in it, and it was said that there were also people who knew magic and were specifically responsible for dealing with ghosts and evil events that were untouchable to the government offices in various places.

It can even be said that it is precisely because of the existence of the special violent organization "Demon Suppression Division", that ordinary mortals can still live a relatively peaceful life under the threat of extraordinary powers such as ghosts and evil spirits.

However, the lowest-level branch institutions of the "Demon Suppressing Division" are also stationed in various prefectures. For the original owner of Wang Cheng, who has never left Dantu County since childhood, he has only heard of various legends of this institution and has never dealt with it.

But when he woke up, he heard Captain Du mention that after the original owner and his son were killed last time, someone from the "Demon Suppression Department" in Danling Mansion City went down to dig the grave with ghosts hidden.

It’s a pity that I didn’t really find the ghost when I dig the grave. I probably ran away to hide in other places.

It is precisely because the "Demon Suppression" is very famous and has many legends.

After Captain Du finished speaking, the villagers in Dasang Township, who were originally panicked and worried about the evil spirits and evil spirits, were as if they had received a reassurance, and soon became much more at ease and their emotions quickly stabilized.

Captain Du also took this opportunity and quickly reorganized Wang Cheng and other constables, yamen runners, and hundreds of township guards organized by Dasang Township into three hundred-person teams. They were led by three qi and blood boiling warriors from the county town and took turns to patrol the surrounding areas of the township at night.

At this time, Wang Cheng took the initiative to ask for the team of Li Tong, the owner of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall, to serve as a helping hand in the management of ten yamen runners and township heroes.

"Your name is Wang Cheng, right? I heard Wei'er say just now that you were once a disciple of Li's martial arts school? Why does Li have no impression of you?"

In the evening, after Wang Cheng and his team had dinner, they were resting nearby. Li Tong, who was leading the team, suddenly called Wang Cheng to the side and asked about the matter.

Wang Cheng took the initiative to talk to Li Tong's son Li Wei about learning martial arts at the Tiger Martial Arts Hall. When he heard Li Tong ask about this, he immediately looked ashamed and embarrassed and replied: "It's shameful to say that this matter is mediocre. His disciples have not reached the level of boxing in the martial arts hall for two years. He withdrew from the martial arts hall more than a year ago. It is normal for Master Li to not recognize his disciples."

The Tiger Martial Arts Hall is the largest martial arts hall in Dantu County. Not only do people from Dantu County and surrounding towns will go to learn from their masters, but the children of wealthy families in the other two nearby counties will come to learn from their masters not far from a hundred miles away. The uninitial disciples who learn from their masters at the same time in the martial arts hall will keep up with hundreds of people all year round.

Except for those who have just become disciples who can see Li Tong, the master of the school, they are hard to see several times a month on weekdays, and the martial arts they have learned are taught by those disciples who have entered the school. At most, warriors like Li Wei will occasionally go over and give advice.

So Li Tong has no impression of Wang Cheng, which is extremely normal.

Despite this, Li Tong felt a little embarrassed when he heard Wang Cheng talk about this.

After all, when the disciples became disciples, he received a considerable gift, but now he can't even recognize anyone, which is a bit too much.

He raised his eyes and looked at Wang Cheng's face carefully, and suddenly said lightly, "Hey" and said in surprise: "But when Li saw your qi and blood floating on his face, it was obvious that he had already had his qi and blood boiling once."

When Wang Cheng heard this, he immediately said with admiration: "Master Li's eyes are as sharp as a torch, and the disciples admire him."

After saying that, he told the story of himself joining the village with Captain Du this morning.

Of course, in his statement, he was able to get the qi and blood boiling in his prime today because he fought with ghosts during the day to inspire the blood and courage, and instantly understood the true meaning of boxing.

No one can confirm this kind of thing, of course, it's okay if he says anything. Anyway, he kills ghosts because someone testifies, so he is not afraid of being investigated.

As he expected, Li Tong's face suddenly showed a look of surprise when he heard that he could kill the ghost before causing the boiling blood to occur.

After looking at Wang Cheng with surprise, he suddenly sighed with emotion: "But it was Mr. Li who missed the truth. He never thought of missing such a good seedling like you!"

"You are good, very good, very good!"

Those who could make Li Tong sigh and say "good" a few times, the disciples in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall who had reached the second boiling blood could not find many.

Li Wei, who had been listening to Li Tong and Wang Cheng's conversation, and another disciple of the martial arts school who had been listening to Li Tong and Wang Cheng's second-time qi and blood boiling, immediately looked at Wang Cheng and showed envy.

Although Wang Cheng was very happy, he could still control his emotions and said modestly: "It was just a lucky disciple. He was not wrong with his colleagues at that time. It was impossible for him to kill the ghost alone by just a disciple."
