Fang Baotou is in his forties this year and has a medium build.
He has a very upright face with Chinese characters, but there is a faint air of coldness and solemnity between his eyebrows.
The moment he walked into the inn, every old Jianghu who saw him already had a consensus in their hearts that this person was not to be messed with.
They are right...
In front of him, Fang Jin's physical strength, martial arts, experience... are all at the peak of his career.
Among the six gates, he can also be regarded as one of the best.
If not, he would not have been sent to such a border town at such a time.
"It's from the shopkeeper." After Fang Jin stepped into the inn, he looked forward and said these three words loudly.
"I've seen the master!" The shopkeeper of Ke Lai Xuan responded hurriedly and came out from the counter: "May I ask what your orders are?"
Fang Jin didn't even look at him: "Let me ask you... the one lying outside is a customer in your shop?"
"Uh..." The shopkeeper has nothing to hide, because things like today have happened several times in the past month, and this is not the first time he and Fang Jin have had such a conversation, "
It's... the person who lives in my store."
"Okay." Fang Jin said immediately, "I'll take the body away..." As he said this, he took out some broken silver coins from his arms, held the silver in his fist, and stretched it out in front of the shopkeeper.
, "This money... was found from the body. Take a look and see how much money is needed to pay for his stay in the hotel and for breaking things."
"Hey~" the shopkeeper quickly raised his voice, "Master, let's see what you said... It's just a small shop like mine. How much would it be worth if I smashed three melons and two dates... As for the price of the shop...
He...he paid it long ago."
Although this shopkeeper is very greedy, he is not stupid. He knows very well that there is some money that he can ask for, and there is also some money that he cannot take even if he is beaten to death.
"Oh...that's it..." Fang Jin muttered, and took the money back into his arms. During this whole process, his hand holding the silver showed no intention of letting go, "Then...this money
, I will... hand it over to the government on my behalf."
"Hey, sir." The shopkeeper quickly nodded and bowed in reply, "Who in our town doesn't know that you, sir, are upright and upright, and you will be reborn in the blue sky... This money is at your disposal, and you will never lose a cent."
"Huh..." After hearing this, Fang Jin glanced at the inn lobby, sneered slightly, then turned around and walked out.
"Okay, okay, it's all gone! There's nothing to see!" As soon as he went out, he yelled a few times to disperse the onlookers, and then asked the few detectives he brought to roll up the body and put it on a cart.
Then they gathered up the team and left.
This isn't the first time Fang Jin has done this, and it probably won't be the last.
In this era, the imperial court and the martial arts have returned to the relationship of "well water does not offend the river"; as long as ordinary people are not involved in those Jianghu vendettas, official people usually will not take care of them; anyway, it is superfluous, let you
It is easier for the government to retaliate against wrongs.
Therefore, like the current situation in Linlu Town, when a deceased person appears, Fang Jin only needs to show his face and confirm the identity of the deceased as a member of the martial arts community, and then he can collect the body and leave; if the deceased has family members, etc., he can handle it by himself
Corpses, that way the trouble of collecting them can be saved.
However, Fang Jin doesn't mind doing this kind of corpse collection work a few more times. The reason... everyone has seen it.
These gangsters all have some money, no more, no less, just to the extent that no one will say anything if you commit corruption.
Of course, Fang Jin is a thoughtful and precise person...even if no one would say anything, he still had to have that conversation with the shopkeeper, and do it in front of many people.
Regardless of how fake the drama they sang was, at least there was nothing wrong with the plot of the drama. If anyone wanted to make an issue of this matter in the future, they would be unable to find a clue.
It can also be seen from this small incident that Fang Jin is obviously an old comrade with rich struggle experience...
…………
After finishing his official duties, Fang Jin ordered his police officers to transport the body back to the nearby county government as soon as possible. He himself went to a tea shop at the entrance of the town and ordered hot tea and some steamed cakes for the night.
Fang Jin is a good catcher who can make money, but he rarely spends money on eating, drinking and having fun.
He doesn't eat well, and he never drinks. He can wear a Tsing Yi that catches his head from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Even when it comes to women, he is extremely restrained.
This kind of self-discipline, this kind of "restraint", is an extremely valuable quality.
Many people can't even live a day like this, but they can live like this for a year, ten years, twenty years...
Therefore, he can stay awake most of the time.
Therefore, he rarely reveals his flaws and weaknesses.
Therefore, his martial arts and physical fitness are outstanding among his peers.
More importantly, he can use the money that others spend on eating, drinking and having fun to do something more meaningful.
When you are in the officialdom, it is very important to keep some "family wealth". It is useful for promotion to a higher position, and even more useful for survival in desperate situations... No one knows which day the boat you are riding will capsize. When the time comes,
"Money" is life-saving driftwood, and those who leave nothing behind can only sink into the abyss with the ship.
"Huh?" Just when Fang Jin was about to put the second steamed cake into his mouth, suddenly, the saber on his waist... vibrated slightly in the scabbard.
Others might not notice this slight movement, or even if they did, they wouldn't care.
Maybe the tip of the scabbard hit the chair, maybe the scabbard was blown by the wind and hit somewhere, or maybe someone passed by and touched it...
No one would think twice about it.
However, Fang Jin, at the moment when the knife trembled... his whole body tensed up.
"Who is it?" He immediately asked himself such a question in his mind, and quietly began to observe the passers-by around him.
It was afternoon at this time, and there were not many people going in and out of the town. But after all, this was the only main road in the town, and there were quite a lot of pedestrians, cars and horses combined.
Fortunately, Fang Jin quickly found the person he was looking for among the mediocre crowd...
It was a woman, a woman with a knife.
She was dressed in white, with a beautiful figure and a vigorous gait.
She covered most of her face with a piece of cloth, leaving only the part above the bridge of her nose exposed; however, her eyes and forehead alone were enough to tell that she was a beauty.
"How could such a thing happen..." At this moment, Fang Jin had no intention of thinking about whether the woman's covered face was really beautiful. All he cared about was the pair of swords worn on her waist.
Fang Jin knew very well that the "vibration" of his sword just now was a reaction similar to "resonance".
Few people know that Fang Jin’s sword is no ordinary sword.
Although the knife was enclosed in a very ordinary scabbard, it looked no different from the waist knife used by ordinary government officials.
But... Fang Jin himself knew that hanging on his waist was the Blue Bird, one of the four great magic weapons in the world.
The hand-rolled pearls are hung with jade hooks, and the heavy building is locked according to the hatred of the past spring.
The blue bird does not convey the message from the clouds, and the lilacs are empty and full of sorrow in the rain.
These are four sentences that everyone in today’s martial arts world knows, and among them, [Jade Hook], [Chonglou], [Blue Bird] and [Lilac] respectively correspond to four magical weapons.
[Jade Hook] is a scimitar with a "Wu hook" shape, made of a strange black jade; the last time it was seen was in a treasury of Wang Qiong's family.
[Chonglou] is a long halberd, a "hollow" long halberd; because it is hollow, it is as light as a bamboo pole. However, after it is stained with blood, it will suck the blood into the body of the halberd, and the more it sucks, the more it will absorb.
The more the Chonglou, the redder the color, the heavier the weight, and the more violent it becomes... Legend has it that after killing a thousand people in a row, the power of the Chonglou can split mountains and seas.
However, Chonglou is the only one of the four magic weapons whose whereabouts are unknown. No one has ever dared to say that they have seen the real Chonglou. Everyone only hears about it. Therefore, there are also rumors that Chonglou
Lou is basically a fabricated weapon, just made up to make up a verse with the other three.
[Blue Bird] is a short knife, slightly smaller than the waist knife used by ordinary government servants. It is undoubtedly in Fang Jin's hands at present; Fang Jin inherited it from his master "Daohuang Meng Qing"
.
As for the last [Lilac], it is a sword. The current owner of this sword is named Xie Wuhua.
This Xie Wuhua is the young master of the Xie family, a famous martial arts family. His ancestor should be familiar to everyone. He is the legendary swordsman Xie San.
In the years after "Cang Ling Discussing Swords", the Xie family also had its ups and downs, ups and downs, and flourished again when the previous generation "Confucian swordsman Xie Xiuwen" passed down the family; and Xie Wuhua was Xie Xiuwen's eldest son and grandson.
In the previous article, the young man called "Young Master" in the inn lobby is none other than Xie Wuhua. The "Uncle Liu" next to him was once a famous figure in the world when he was young, and was known as "Liu Xilai, the man with hands and eyes"
, however, Liu Xilai suffered a tragic defeat when he was forty years old. Not only was he seriously injured, but he also became disabled. He originally wanted to retire from the world, but fortunately Xie Xiuwen took him in and later became a head of the Xie family.
Let’s get back to the topic, for now, let’s finish this first.
There is a saying that "the blue bird sings, and the magic weapon appears." When Fang Jin's master Meng Qing passed the sword to him, he once said that the blue bird is a spiritual sword. If there are other magic weapons around, it will
There is a reaction.
Therefore, after feeling the sound of the sword, Fang Jin took it for granted that one of the other three magic weapons appeared nearby, but what he didn't expect was... After searching for a while, he found that the only one nearby
A master with a super strong aura, but also a wielder of two swords.
"Could it be that... there is a fifth unique magic weapon in this world?" Fang Jin was muttering in his heart. Suddenly, his [Blue Bird] trembled again... (To be continued.)
