Chapter 41 41 On Life
The next day.
Qing and view inside.
Zhang Rongfang and Xiao Jiu were sitting at the table to eat together. The sun was shining outside, and the breeze was blowing the leaves, making a crisp sound.
"Last night, I went with Brother Chen Ling and Sister Yufeng next door to the Wu Peng boat by the river. Fishing there is only five cents per time, and there is no time limit. Luckily, I caught a two-pound crucian carp. !"
Xiaojiu has been in a good mood since he came to the county seat. I don’t know how much better here than the boring life on the mountain.
You can find different kinds of gameplay every day.
In the Taoist temple, Li Hengguan’s master is absent all day long, ignoring business affairs. There is no one to supervise them whether they do morning or evening classes.
There is no one to supervise the practice of Wenxiu and martial arts. Under the temperament of a young man, Xiaojiu and the other three quickly become one, and they are extremely happy every day.
"Fishing, Wuwen, if you can catch a good big fish, you'll be lucky. The Wangjia Rice Shop on the adjacent street collects fish, and you can sell it there. The price is better than going to the fish market." Two handymen disciples The little Wang in the middle laughed softly.
"Wang's rice shop? When I went out to sell morning tea just now, I saw that the rice shop seemed to be closed down?" Xiao Jiu said in surprise.
"I also saw it. It is said that a certain master of the Mi Gang was suspected of harboring military weapons and was arrested and investigated." Xiao Wang replied.
"Military weapons? Swords?"
"No, it's a crossbow" Xiao Wang lowered his voice.
hiss.
Several people suddenly showed surprise.
"What does the owner of his rice shop hide a crossbow? Is he going to rebel?"
"Who knows. Anyway, I don't understand what those rich people think."
Zhang Rongfang on the side was eating, he took a chopstick of garlic-flavored twice-cooked pork and put it in his mouth, while listening to a few people chatting.
Hearing that Mibang Mipu was sealed, his expression remained unmoved, and his heart felt light.
Possession of military weapons, such crimes are not something that ordinary people can resist. This time, Mi Gang Chen He, as a private collector, will have to peel off his skin if he does not die.
He is not the mastermind yet. If the mastermind is found to be the master of the Mi Gang, the entire Mi Gang will be messed up.
Even if Chen He is stubborn, he will not let go. Where did the military crossbow come from and where did you get it?
These are bound to be tracked down.
As long as the noble officials do not want to be suddenly shot to death by crossbow arrows while walking on the road, they will inevitably be hunted down heavily.
That gang leader, Shao Quanhu, will definitely be implicated and held accountable.
As long as Shao Quanhu has no powerful subordinates, he is not qualified to assign people to attack the master and senior brother.
Everything will be solved.
Zhang Rongfang was happy in his heart, and he started to eat much faster.
After eating, he rested for a while, then packed his things, took the letter, and walked towards the gate of the county town.
The matter of the Mi Gang has been temporarily resolved, and the next thing is my own business.
The day after tomorrow is the day when the senior brother gets married, the first day of the new year.
At that time, I didn’t have much gifts to give my brother, so I just went to the depths of the Red Mountains, hunted some good things, and came out to make furs as gifts.
Zhang Rongfang has only broken through the secret martial arts skills. He has practiced the second-rank rejuvenation and cleansing talisman, combined with the first-rank dragon and snake lifting technique. Now that he can fight head-on, without sneak attack, he can also kill Chen Wuyou and Jiao Teng before.
Today, he basically has some self-protection power.
Go out from the county seat and go straight along the official road.
After walking a distance, Zhang Rongfang took the initiative to leave the official road and turned into the deep mountain forest on the left.
He didn't go too far or too deep, just wandered within a dozen miles nearby.
At noon, the sun is bright, and the leaves of the plants in the woods are more emerald green, like translucent jade carvings.
Not long after, Zhang Rong conveniently found a goat that was grazing with its head down.
The goat was still more than twenty meters away from him, with a leisurely expression on his face, calmly chewing the food in his mouth.
Zhang Rongfang lightly stepped and slowly approached the other side.
Just a few steps closer, there was a slight clicking sound under his feet.
The goat was immediately alert, turned around and ran away, disappearing into the jungle in one fell swoop.
Zhang Rongfang looked down at his feet, the soles of his feet were covered with layers of leaves.
He crouched down and dug with his hands.
A thick layer of leaves, the bottom is wet branches and leaves that are about to rot, and then layers of relatively intact branches and leaves are overlapped.
The outermost leaves are almost crisp.
He thought about it, raised his foot, and took a step forward.
still has sound.
Continue, step two, step three.
Zhang Rongfang kept standing in the same place, repeatedly testing the way he stepped on it.
The result has sound.
He simply didn't leave, and tried repeatedly, walking on the layers of leaves, how to reduce the noise.

The crime of possession of military weapons completely disrupted Shao Quanhu's steps.
Early the next morning, when she received the news, everyone was stunned.
When she heard that her younger brother was arrested, she immediately took a large amount of treasure money from the gang and went to the yamen to guarantor.
This matter spread widely in the county town, and the entire Huaxin County was just that big.
spread throughout the city in one afternoon.
In the evening, when Zhang Rongfang came back from outside the city, the rice gang had become the focus of discussion after dinner in the city.
All the way from the city gate to Taoist temple, he could hear several people talking about the rice gang.
Soon, new news came out. Mi Gang and Shao Quanhu were guarded and not allowed to move around.
The government dispatched a lot of people to take away the internal members of the Mi Gang and bring them back to the yamen for interrogation.
Every rice shop was closed.
Zhang Rongfang went for a few more laps outside Chen's house, and found that the door of Chen He's house was open, and officers and soldiers searched it.
The female relatives of the Chen family also stood in the yard with worried faces, watching the officers and soldiers who were searching, but did not dare to move.
Now, Zhang Rongfang is completely sure that the Shao family and the Chen family of the Mi Gang are already in the sunset.
Return immediately.
On the second day, he stayed in the forest all day, and when it was almost night, he successfully brought back a robust stag.
Pulled to the market to be slaughtered, cut off the antlers, peeled off the skins and made tanning. It can be used as a betrothal gift for a brother.

Mi Gang headquarters.
The small headquarters building that used to be crowded with people has become more and more deserted at this time.
Many people were taken away by the yamen for investigation, and only a few guys who had nothing to do with the Tibetan ordnance case were left behind in the nursing store.
At night, a black carriage drove out of the fog slowly and slowly stopped in front of the Mibang's small building.
The carriage only stopped for a while, and after a few people got down, they left quickly.
The few people who came down, bowed their heads, wrapped in black clothes, and hurriedly entered the small building.
In a small room on the inner side of the second floor.
creaked, the door of the room was opened, and three figures in black cloaks quickly entered the room.
The last person closed the door with his backhand and lit the oil lamp.
The three of them lifted their black cloaks one after another, revealing their faces.
The first person was Shao Quanhu, the leader of the Mi Gang.
She looked calm and let out a light breath.
Seeing how the room was empty and searched, a trace of loss flashed in her eyes.
"Who reported this incident? Did you find out?" Another person on the side said solemnly.
The face of that man was slowly illuminated by the light of the oil lamp, and it was the Taoist Chen Zhihan.
"I don't know, I tried to ask when I sent the money, and the county governor didn't know who it was.
I only know that someone stole the ordnance at night and threw it at the second child's house. It was framed by a frame. " Shao Quanhu shook his head.
"Is it still going according to the original plan this time?" Chen Zhihan frowned. In fact, he was not as determined as his wife.
Since his son is dead, to have another one is sad at first, but there is no need to bet all of his own, but he still wants to make a comeback.
Of course, he also knew that his wife was seriously ill, and his son was her only hope.
Now my son is gone
"Naturally we have to continue. I suspect that this matter is under the hands of Zhang Xuan. Or the rest of the Qinghe Palace. In this world, there are people who don't want to see us live well." Shao Quanhu said lightly.
"The person who reported it thought that relying on the yamen to bring us down. This kind of thinking is too naive and doesn't look like Zhang Xuan's style." The third person said.
The light illuminated his face, this person is actually Chen He who should have been arrested and brought to justice!
"The person who reported the report probably didn't know that our ordnance was originally sold by the county government. The county governor still has a commission in it, and arresting us is nothing more than extorting more money." Chen He said with some distress. .
In order to come out this time, he spent a lot of money.
"Anyway, framing this person will definitely have nothing to do with old Zhang Xuan. As long as we attack him, we can solve the troubles in one fell swoop!" Shao Quanhu calmly said.
"Kill Zhang Xintai first, then raise his head to see Zhang Xuan. I want him to experience the pain of losing his son too!"
"Let's do it together?" Chen He asked.
"Let's do it together. After getting married, I will let Li Heng design an opportunity to do it together. After killing Zhang Xintai, I will go to solve Zhang Xuan."
"That's right, a mere 2nd rank, if you kill him first, Zhang Xuan will definitely vomit blood, and it will be better to deal with it then." Chen He nodded.
"After this is done, we will leave this place and go to Tanyang." Shao Quanhu has made arrangements.
"Okay!" Brother Chen He and Chen Zhihan nodded together.
The matter has developed to this point, and after being severely beaten by the county governor, their foundation has lost too much, and it doesn't make much sense to stay here.
And most of the Mi Gang were unwilling to follow along to deal with the Qinghe Palace. After simply taking revenge, he left this bird place directly.
"When will we start?" Chen Zhihan asked.
"Tomorrow night. Let them be happy." Shao Quanhu showed a strange smile.

The third day.
Senior brother Zhang Xintai hired a band in the city, found a bunch of idlers, carried a large box of gifts, and headed towards Yang Hongyan's house.
Zhang Rongfang also followed at the end of the team, and followed the team with a smile, along with the rest of his friends.
Not long.
The team arrived at Yang's house. The sister-in-law, Yang Hongyan, dressed up. She was gentle and lovely, wearing a bright red dress with a tulle on her face. carried into the sedan chair.
Brother Zhang Xintai rode on a white horse and took the lead in walking towards the other side of the county seat.
He bought a house there as a new house after the wedding.
The team went all the way and soon came to the new house.
There are already many people watching the lively waiting by the roadside.
The aunt who threw the happy money held a wooden basin for the copper coins, grabbed a handful of copper coins in one hand, and threw them into the sky fiercely.
Amidst the clanging of copper coins falling to the ground, Zhang Xintai and Yang Hongyan held hands and ran shyly into the door of the new house with their heads lowered.
Inside the gate, sitting in the courtyard, is Zhang Xuan Laodao.
He sat on the Taishi chair with a smile, and beside him were two elders whom Zhang Rongfang had never seen before. They were not Taoists, but they had an inexplicable aura.
Immediately afterwards, he came forward to salute and serve tea.
This is a common rule here in Huaxin County.
Zhang Rongfang, as a relative of the team, entered the new house and began to receive the guests who came to congratulate.
The record of gift money, the arrangement of food tables and chairs, the roll call, and so on, all have to be done by someone.
I was busy until the evening, and the engagement was finished.
Zhang Xintai greeted his friends and neighbors who were admiring their faces, and let Yang Hongyan go to the room to rest first.
I was going to look at the recorded ritual book.
It was just that he was about to cross the yard and go to the back room when someone called him.
"Brother Xintai, can you take a step to speak?"
The man had a round figure, a chubby face, and was wearing a robe and white coat, which is common among practitioners. He was Li Heng, the master of the Qinghe Temple in the city.
"Brother Li Heng? But something happened?" Zhang Xintai and Li Heng have a good relationship. After all, he has to live in the county town in the future, so it is natural to have a good relationship with Li Heng.
