Take a Door with You

Mr. Duan's family has a happy event, Mr. Lei came here uninvited to ask for a glass of wine, and also invited Haihan.

Duan Chong was welcoming the guests outside the door, when he suddenly saw Lei Meng leading the crowd, his heart sank, he said with a smile on his face, I don't dare to do it, Lord Lei, please come inside.

Welcome the four of them into the courtyard.

This is a well-organized house, it was only built seven or eight days ago, and it was only moved in yesterday.

To open an escort agency, you must have a facade.

The original huts and small courtyards are not enough. The escort agency stronghold should not only take into account the convenience of the location, but also have a spacious space, and it must be able to support the appearance and not be too shabby.

Although this house is just a one-time entry, it is also expensive. It is five or six times that of the small courtyard that the Cao family bought years ago.

The house where Guo Sheng, the head catcher in Luoxiu County, lived was about the same size as this one.

The price will not vary too much.

It can be seen that this headhunter makes a lot of income on weekdays, otherwise how could he afford such a yard.

This is a heavy asset.

Even though Cao Xin was rich and powerful, considering that what he confessed to Duan Chong and Ning Shuhua at that time was that he only picked up more than 7,000 taels, leaving more than 6,000 taels.

Not a luxury.

Therefore, the house is leased.

The rent is six taels of silver per month, starting from one year, the rent is paid in one lump sum, and there is also a deposit of fifty taels.

Deposit is not counted.

The annual rent expenditure is 72 taels.

It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either.

The expenditures for opening an escort bureau are in this aspect, and the purchase of horses, donkeys, escort carts, and dart boxes has not yet started, and it will really be a waste of money at that time.

At this time, Lei Meng and others didn't know that Duan Chong was about to open an escort agency.

Looking at this courtyard and many people from all walks of life in the courtyard, Lei Meng and Chen Biao glanced at each other, thinking about each other.

They are not the only ones looking at it.

Many people present were also paying attention to Lei Meng and the other four.

Since the beginning of the new year, the Embroidery Department has been making a lot of noise in Xijing City. Looking around the Jianghu of Xijing, almost everyone knows about it. Duan Chong led Lei Meng and four people in today, and everyone was also speculating about the relationship between the two parties.

Brother Duan also hired an official from the Embroidery Division today?

Tang Miao has been in close contact with Duan Chong and his wife in the past few days, and the address has long been changed to the more intimate senior sister and brother. Tang Miao and the Tang family are very clear about the main purpose of the Duan family's banquet today, so they are considered half of the hosts today. Just now, Duan Chong greeted the guests, and the four brothers of the Tang family also helped to greet them.

Seeing Lei Meng and others coming in, he hurriedly sent Tang Miao to inquire.

Unfamiliar.

Among the four, the first two came to the house in February, trying to recruit the senior brother to join the Embroidery Department, but the senior brother had no such intention. It has been more than a month since this matter happened, and I don't know why they came today.

Ning Shuhua shook her head, she was also puzzled.

And a little guilty.

When Tang Miao heard this, she was equally disturbed.

The Embroidery Department is not 100% against the Jianghu people, but it is by no means harmonious.

Today, the evil guests come to the door, I am afraid that the banquet will not be a good one!

aside.

Cao Xin also guessed the intention of Lei Meng and others coming today, but the information is too narrow to guess.

But before he could think about it, there was movement on the other side.

Mr. Duan, please!

Lord Lei, please!

When Cao Xin heard the movement, he saw Duan Chong lead Lei Meng and others to drink tea, and then went to the courtyard to set up a posture.

obviously.

This is the meaning of hands-on discussion, and I don't know what they talked about just now.

But judging from the atmosphere, it was not considered tense, and it was still within the controllable range.

Walk.

Go and see.

Ning Shuhua was worried, and rushed to the front yard with Tang Miao and Cao Xin. Seeing this, Cao Xian, Tang Piaopiao and other juniors who were in the backyard also came over.

Cao Ren had been following Duan Chong in the front yard. At this moment, he came forward to meet him. Before Ning Shuhua and the others could ask questions, he took the initiative to explain: Lei Si prison said that he admired Master's swordsmanship, so he came here today to ask for advice.

Ask for sword skills!

This must be an excuse.

Lei Meng, as the embroidered clothes prison guard, will not be indiscriminate, and this move may have other meanings.

Uncle, do you know why?

Tang Miao walked to his uncle Tang Shixiao and asked in a low voice.

Tang Shixiao is the current head of the Tang family, and he is seventy years old. Hearing this, he said with a smile: It's nothing serious. This Lei Si prison has recently visited the door to compete with many masters in Xijing City. I think it's because I heard about Duan Xian in the past few days. My nephew is famous, so I came to give it a try.

As a local snake, Tang Shixiao's news channels are wider, and he can roughly guess Lei Meng's intentions today.

Recently, the Embroidery Department has repeatedly solved major cases. Lei Meng is mainly responsible for the 'Iron Brave God' series of cases, but there has been no progress.

Are they testing senior brother?

When Ning Shuhua heard this, she would feel relieved.

If so, there is no need to worry.

Everyone knows that the 'Iron Gallbladder God' is the most mysterious, except for a few iron gallbladders, there is no trace. But Duan Chong is proficient in swordsmanship, so he can't match him.

This Lei Meng was afraid that he went to the doctor in a hurry.

Set your mind down and focus on watching the battle.

at this time.

Duan Chong and Lei Meng have already fought fiercely.

Both of them are proficient in swordsmanship, they are both excellent, as soon as they fight, the sword light suddenly rises, and the sound of clanging can be heard endlessly.

Among them, Lei Meng's swordsmanship is imposing and powerful, like a long spear and a big halberd, flying across thousands of miles, he is an upright and upright master.

Let's cut to the chase.

Eternal Human Dragon.

Floating emerald greens.

Mr. Tang Shixiao was well-informed, and recognized Lei Meng's three or five sword moves, and couldn't help nodding: It really is a disciple of Fushan!

Lei Meng entered Xijing City for two months, and did not intentionally conceal his mastery, and even deliberately leaked it to fuel the flames.

After all, the identity of Fushan's disciple combined with the official status of the Embroidery Department, once spread, it will make it easier for him to walk in the rivers and lakes and enjoy himself more.

In recent days, whenever he came to ask people for advice, he used the undisguised Fushan swordsmanship.

Although Tang Shixiao is old, he has heard of it.

Seeing it today is really true.

Disciple of Fushan?

It was the first time for Tang Miao to hear about it, and when she heard it, she turned to look at Ning Shuhua.

Others don't know.

But because of the cooperation, she and several core members of the Tang family knew that Duan Chong and Ning Shuhua were from Qishan. And Qishan and Fushan are both one of the 'Seven Mountains Sword Sect', so the relationship is not shallow.

Could it be that the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple?

Tang Miao speculated in his heart.

But there was no time to be distracted at this time, and the fierce fighting on the field became more and more fierce.

Lei Meng's Fushan swordsmanship is upright and majestic.

But Duan Chong was not bad at all.

The swordsmanship in his hand does not reveal the style of the sect, but the moves are also exquisite, and the momentum on the sword is fierce, and there is a sharp wind sound hidden in the sword force, making each sword move as fast as a sword, and the wind sound it arouses is getting stronger and stronger , like a violent wind and a huge wave, the energy from the blade gradually expanded——

hiss!

Together with Tang Shixiao, Tang Miao and others, the onlookers only felt the chill, their faces and hands were aching from the strong wind, and they retreated involuntarily.

When he regained his composure and looked again, he suddenly realized that the circle around the two Xiangdou gradually expanded to a radius of four or five zhang, almost giving them the entire front yard.
