Martial arts: A Taoist friend, Li Mochou cried

Zhang Chu took the cloth bag, weighed it casually, and said in surprise, "So many?"

Yin Li smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the sales volume is good this month."

Zhang Chu nodded, didn’t care, and handed the bag to Yin Li.

"You can save the groceries for yourself."

outside the yard.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore tremblingly came under a big tree, cupped his hands at several menacing men, and said, "Everyone, the manuscript fee has been sent over, take a look?"

A burly man snorted coldly and said: "In the future, the recruitment will be bright, and if you dare to deduct and delay this person's manuscript fee, you can't live a peaceful life in Lin'an City!"

"Don't dare."

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and bowed.

When these people came to the door in the early morning, the shopkeeper was almost scared to death.

He really didn't know when he offended Liu Fen Ban Tang.

The shopkeeper never thought that these people would come out for the author named Hong Shixian.

It is very common for their bookstores to deduct fees for delayed manuscripts.

Especially this Hong Shixian's script, the sales volume is very good, so he became greedy for a while.

In his opinion, the author is just a poor scholar, even if the manuscript fee is deducted, the other party can't do anything to him.

But the shopkeeper never expected that the author actually knew someone from Liufentang.

He wanted to cry but had no tears in his heart. He knew that the other party had such a background. If he had ten guts, he wouldn't have dared to do such a thing.

Chapter 25 Nothing to Investigate

In order to avoid Yin Li's all-day reminders, Zhang Chu had to go to a hot pot restaurant to pass the time.

After drinking a bowl of herbal tea, Zhang Chu finally felt much calmer.

"Master Zhang, this is the account book for last month." Huang Rong walked over and handed him a booklet in her hand.

Zhang Chu said with a smile, “I’m not here to check the accounts.”

Naturally, Huang Rong didn't believe it. Since the hotpot restaurant's business started to improve, this master hasn't been to the restaurant once.

But the first day of the month is here, isn't it to check the accounts, is it to eat hot pot?

"By the way, Miss Feng, I haven't eaten yet, please ask someone to bring me a hot pot." Zhang Chu said with a smile.

Huang Rong led him around the shop, then pouted, "There are no seats."

"..."

Zhang Chu was speechless.

Anyway, he is the owner of a hot pot restaurant, but he doesn't even have a seat if he wants to eat hot pot.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Brother, if you don't mind, you can sit at the same table with me."

Zhang Chuxun looked at the reputation, with a hint of surprise on his face.

It turned out to be an acquaintance.

A handsome young man with a face like a crown was sitting alone in the corner, as if he was waiting for his assistant to take the blame.

This person is Duan Yu whom Zhang Chu met once.

However, at that time, Duan Yu was only thinking about how to escape Jiumozhi's claws, and he didn't notice Zhang Chu at all.

Anyway, he is a protagonist, Zhang Chu has to give face.

"In that case, thank you, brother."

Zhang Chu was not polite, and sat opposite Duan Yu.

"Is Xiongtai a local?" Duan Yu seemed to be in good spirits and asked with a smile.

Zhang Chu nodded, and then said: “Where is Xiongtai from?”

Duan Yu replied: "Duan Yu, a person from Dali, is coming to An for the first time."

"It turns out to be Mr. Duan. I'm sorry, my surname is Zhang, and the single name is Chu." Zhang Chu said politely.

"Brother Zhang is polite."

Duan Yu said with a smile: "I really envy Brother Zhang, Lin'an is so prosperous, and there is such a novel food as Haidilao, it is really enviable."

"Dali is also good. I heard that Dali has beautiful scenery and is like spring all the year round. I would like to see it if I have a chance." Zhang Chu said with a smile.

Just as the two were exchanging polite greetings, the waiter finally brought up the bottom of the pot.

"Brother Zhang, it is fate that you and I sit at the same table today. Come, let me toast you." Duan Yu poured a glass of angelica wine and said with a warm smile.

"Good talk, good talk."

After drinking for three rounds, Duan Yu's face was already a little drunk.

He was not good at drinking alcohol, let alone this kind of alcohol.

Suddenly, Zhang Chu noticed that the drunkenness on Duan Yu's face had subsided a lot, and he immediately realized something.

"Master Duan, why is there a puddle of water under your seat, could it be..." Zhang Chu showed a surprised expression.

Hearing this, Duan Yu was quite embarrassed.

"Brother Zhang, to tell the truth, in fact, he doesn't drink too much. Just now, he used a family-inherited martial art to force out the alcohol in his body." Duan Yu explained quite sincerely.

"It turns out that there is such a miraculous martial art in the world." Zhang Chu suddenly realized.

"Small skills are not worth mentioning." Duan Yu said with a smile.

He felt ashamed in his heart, he was drinking with him with real skills, but he was opportunistic with the Six Meridians Excalibur, not a gentleman's doing.

At this time, Zhang Chu felt very lucky.

Fortunately, he was dressed thickly today, and the drink was poured into his sleeve by him, so the other party didn't notice it.

Zhang Chu coughed and said, "Come, Mr. Duan, try our Lin'an mushrooms."

Duan Yu said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, when it comes to mushrooms, I am an expert in this. In Dali, there are all kinds of mushrooms all over the mountains and plains. However, there are also some mushrooms that cannot be eaten. Once..."

Listening to Duan Yu's eloquent talk, Zhang Chu couldn't help sighing that he deserves to be a brave man.

Zhang Chu couldn't help but read: "red umbrella, white pole, let's lie on the board after eating..."

Duan Yu widened his eyes and said: "Brother Zhang, this nursery rhyme is catchy and quite interesting, I don't know where I heard it from?"

Zhang Chu said casually: “I heard a wandering Taoist sing it when I was young.”

Duan Yu said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, to be honest, people in Dali often die from poisonous mushrooms, I want to spread this nursery rhyme of Brother Zhang so that everyone in Dali can be vigilant. "

"..."

Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Duan Yu to have such a pattern.

"I didn't expect Mr. Duan to have such a bodhisattva heart. It's just a nursery rhyme. Just take it."

"Thank you Brother Zhang on behalf of the people of Dali!" Duan Yu clasped his fists with excitement on his face.

After a few polite words between the two, Zhang Chu suddenly asked, "Mr. Duan, when are you going back to Dali?"

Duan Yu said with a smile: "No hurry, since we're here, let's take this opportunity to appreciate the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains."

Zhang Chu couldn’t help admiring him. This man is really brave, and he is not afraid that Jiumozhi will catch him again and burn him to ashes.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chu suddenly wondered, where did Jiumozhi go after he left that day?

…………

Six doors.

"Uncle Shi, I found Jiumozhi's whereabouts!"

Tie Shou was a little excited, walked quickly to Zhuge Zhengwo, clasped his fists and said.

Zhuge put down the teacup and said slowly, "Where is he?"

"According to the spies' report, Jiumozhi showed up in Gusu yesterday."

Zhuge was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Go to Gusu?"

"Exactly!"

Tie Shou said in a deep voice: "Uncle Shi, do you want to gather people to arrest Jiumozhi?"

Zhuge Zheng and I hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forget it."

Tie Shou was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Zhuge Zhengwo sighed, and said: "Recently, foreign enemies have provoked wars. During this critical period, there may be assassins sneaking into the city. It is inconvenient for me to leave Lin'an."

Tie Shou frowned, and after a while, a look of depression appeared on his face.

He knew that Zhuge Zheng and I were right. At this time, the enemy might send experts to infiltrate Lin'an with the intention of assassinating the Song Emperor.

If it is a congenital master who comes here, without Zhuge Zhengwo, a congenital late master, sitting in charge, if an assassin really succeeds, those six doors will be the sinners of the Song Kingdom.

The most important duty of the six doors is to guard Lin'an and protect today's officials.

Anyway, now that Jiumozhi has left Lin'an, there is no need for further complications.

What's more, the six doors saved Dali's son, which is a great kindness to Dali, and Dali must have nothing to say.

Zhuge Zhengwo suddenly said: "By the way, you should pay attention to Liufenbantang recently, don't let them make any trouble, otherwise, even if they are the people in the court, they will not be able to keep them."

"Yes, Uncle Shi!"

…………

At the intersection of the alley not far from Lei Mansion.

Master Liu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "How is the matter you are investigating?"

A big man smiled and said, "Master Liu, the investigation has already been completed."

Master Liu was startled, and said, "So fast?"

The big man smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary citizen, there's nothing to investigate."

Chapter 26

"Are you sure it's just an ordinary person?" Master Liu frowned.

The big man said with a smile: "Master Liu, don't you still believe in the brothers? That man is called Zhang Chu. He grew up in Dengpingfang. Both his parents died, and the neighbors around him all know him."

"However, this kid recently opened a restaurant, and the business seems to be pretty good." The big man added.

Master Liu nodded, and said, "As long as it wasn't sent by someone to get close to Miss on purpose, then don't worry about him."

"Yes, Master Liu."

"What's the name of his restaurant?" Master Liu asked.

"It seems to be called Haidilao hot pot. It's a novelty. I haven't tried it before." The big man scratched his head and said.

Mr. Liu thought for a while, and said: "It is inevitable that you will encounter some troubles when opening a store. If you meet people who are not open-eyed, you can help to get rid of them."

The big man was surprised and said: "Master Liu, you don't care about the eldest lady anymore? What if the chief hall master blames you?"

Mr. Liu stroked his white beard, and said with a light smile, "Even though Missy doesn't know martial arts, she's extremely smart. Sooner or later, she'll be in Liufentang. Now she's just getting in touch with ordinary people's life for the first time. The picture is new for a while, maybe after a while." I'm tired of time, there's no need to make her unhappy because of such a trivial matter."

After finishing speaking, he paused, and continued: "From now on, sooner or later, this six-and-a-half hall will belong to the eldest lady, do you understand?"

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" the big man suddenly said.

…………

"My lord, I heard from the neighbors that Song may be going to war."

In the early morning, when Yin Li came back from buying vegetables, he hurriedly reported the news.

"War? Fight with whom?" Zhang Chu bit open the willow branch to reveal the fiber inside, then dipped it in a little good green salt, and said vaguely while brushing his teeth.
