Lu Qi pushed open the door and walked out.
at this time.
Outside the house and in front of the blacksmith shop, a group of people had gathered.
The neighbors were watching from a distance.
Among that group of people, Lu Qi saw a few familiar figures for the first time and frowned.
Those people were members of the Lu family, and they were all wearing silk and satin, and their clothes had a big word "Lu" on their chests.
Lu Qi walked up and stood behind the stone pier, across the blacksmith shop from these people.
And the door is not open.
There was a young man who was the same age as Lu Qi. He had an arrogant face and nobility all over his body.
Seeing Lu Qi coming out, he said, "Lu Qi, you dare to make us wait for you for so long. How brave you are."
Lu Qi cupped his hands and said, "Cousin Lu Fan, I'm sorry, I was just too tired and overslept, so I didn't hear the shouting."
But the young man screamed strangely and said: "Lu Qi, you are so bold, who is your cousin? You have been expelled from the Lu family, do you deserve to be my cousin?!"
Several other members of the Lu family also scolded: "Lu Qi, do you dare to recognize your relatives?"
Lu Qi felt cold in his heart and suppressed his murderous intent.
These people are all from the Lu family. Lu Fan is the son of the second uncle of the Lu family, the brother of the dark shop Lu Yu, and naturally the cousin of Lu Qi.
but.
Now he doesn't recognize Lu Qi.
Lu Qi was not surprised either, but he still held up his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too high-spirited."
When Lu Fan saw him apologizing, he snorted coldly, feeling a little proud.
The people of the Lu family around him also snorted and sneered, as if being able to trample Lu Qi under his feet would make them happy.
As everyone knows, the so-called apology, in Lu Qi's opinion, is neither painful nor itchy.
It saves trouble and he can apologize all day long.
but.
These people are also on Lu Qi's must-kill list. If they don't die today, they will die tomorrow.
Lu Fan hummed: "Lu Qi, there was a murder case in Yuexiang Tower last night, and everyone in the Jin family was killed. Some people rumored that a low-grade good knife was used, and there are fixed numbers of low-grade knives in the city. Only the newcomers here can shoot low-grade knives."
, do you know who the murderer is?!"
This statement is actually very inductive.
Regardless of whether Lu Qi said he knew him or not, he might fall into a trap.
Lu Qi quickly became frightened and said: "Master Fan, how do I know the murderer? Moreover, I can make low-grade knives, and I have registered them with the county government. Moreover, I can only make passable ones, and I only make them for Brother Dao.
Already."
One day after Lu Qi was able to create a low-grade knife, Lu Qi asked Li Muer to register with the county government.
That's why Jia San, the Yamen servant, knew that Lu Qi could also make low-grade knives here.
Lu Fan naturally knew how Lu Qi could know the murderer. He just wanted to find a reason to make things difficult. He didn't expect Lu Qi to be so impeccable.
When I was still trying to continue to embarrass myself, a group of government servants suddenly came.
The leader was tall and tall, and the government servant next to him was an acquaintance, it was Jia San.
The burly government official who showed up at Yuexiang Tower last night was none other than Huang Li, the county's top catcher. He had become a triple-level muscle-changing master five years ago and was the county magistrate's right-hand man.
Huang Li grabbed his head and shouted: "Master Lu Fan, when did you become qualified to question the people of Qianye County?"
Lu Fan had known Huang Li would come for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, so he secretly cursed it as bad luck.
He hummed: "Huang Li, don't think I don't know. You want to take this opportunity to be appreciated by the Judao Sect so that you can enter the outer gate. Hum, let's see if you have the qualifications!"
Huang Lidao: "Lu Fan, we don't know if we have the qualifications, but you definitely don't have the qualifications. You insulted fellow sect members and robbed civilian girls, and you still want to be appreciated by the Judao Sect?!"
Lu Fan was furious.
Confronted Huang Li.
Other members of the Lu family and the government officials also confronted each other.
moment.
Lu Fan waved his hands and left.
Although the Lu family has a great business, it would still be very difficult for them to openly confront the county government.
He even felt that Huang Li was deliberately irritating him and making him do something wrong and get eliminated, so he calmed down and chose to leave.
As expected.
Disappointment flashed in Huang Li's eyes.
Then he looked at Lu Qi, cupped his hands and said, "Master Lu, I have heard about his fame for a long time and admired him for a long time."
This move gave Lu Qi enough face.
The neighbors were all horrified and envious.
Unlike being appreciated by Lord Jin, getting the approval of Huang Li Capt. is something that comes from heaven.
After all, Huang Li is stronger, has a deeper background, and has a bigger backing.
One represents the thief and the other represents the official.
You can tell who is strong and who is weak at a glance.
Lu Qi raised his hand and returned the greeting, "If you don't dare to take it seriously, if Capt. Huang has any orders, just give them."
He understood that Huang Li, as a head catcher and a third-level warrior, had given him enough face in front of him, an ordinary master on the surface, and even rescued him, so he must have something to ask for.
As expected.
Huang Li showed a satisfied smile and glanced at Jia San beside him, who quickly smiled and said: "Master Lu, do you still remember what you promised me? You will create something for us."
Lu Qidao: "Remember, Brother Jia doesn't dare to disobey you if he has something to say."
Jia San was immediately satisfied.
Then he said: "When you still had work, I didn't bother you. Now that the work at hand is done, I'm here to bother you."
Lu Qi cursed in his heart.
When Dao Brother asked him to make knives, Jia San didn't dare to offend him, so he didn't dare to jump in and let Lu Qi forge it.
Now Brother Dao and Master Jin are both dead.
He immediately brought the head catcher to claim credit.
Lu Qi has no work at hand now?
Everyone can see that there are some farm tools piled up behind his blacksmith shop. They are the things of ordinary people and are part of his daily work.
As a result, I jumped in line directly.
but.
Lu Qi wouldn't say much.
He said, "Third brother, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
Jia San smiled and said: "We know that you have cut ten knives for Lord Jin, and all of them are good knives. Master Lu, you are very capable. The county government is very optimistic about you."
"After my efforts, the county government decided to cooperate with you and give you the task of ten knives, ten swords, and ten axes. They are all low-grade and can be completed within a month. No problem, right?!"
Ten knives, ten swords, ten axes?!
Different iron tools require different materials.
Just ten knives would take an ordinary master craftsman two months, let alone one month.
Not to mention, there were swords and axes, and they were only given one month, which was a squeeze.
Seeing that Lu Qi remained silent, Jia San became anxious and worried that Lu Qi would give up his choice, so he said: "Master Lu, this is a good opportunity to get in touch with the county government. Others have not had this fate."
He specifically raised his eyebrows in the direction Lu Fan left.
The implication is that if he doesn't cooperate with the county government, the Lu family can kill him at any time!
Lu Qi naturally understood, but he didn't like being threatened the most.
It was obvious that I was asking for something from him, but in the end it was as if I was going to give him a favor.
It was Huang Li who was standing by and said: "If you have any difficulties, just raise them. I think you are no longer an ordinary person, but a skin refining realm warrior, right?!"
Jia San was shocked. Lu Qi was in the Skin Refining Stage, a warrior like him?!
The neighbors were also shocked.
Lu Qi cupped his hands and said, "To make Huang Captou laugh, a few nights ago when I was working hard on the iron, I came to an enlightenment and gained some strength. I think I made a breakthrough."
It’s really the Skin Refining Realm.
Lu Qi understood that carrying ten knives in seven days would definitely be suspected by others. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to do it.
If someone doubts it, then admit it.
Anyway, the world only thinks that he is in the Skin Refining Realm, but in fact he is in the Inner Qi Realm.
There is also an advantage to admitting that you are in the Skin Refining Realm. It can save you a lot of trouble. For example, if there are some gangsters watching nearby, they may be looking for opportunities to cause trouble.
Whether he thinks he is weak or a master, wants to knock the bamboo pole, or wants to please the Lu family, it is always a troublesome thing for Lu Qi.
Now that he knows he is in the Skin Refining Realm, the gangster doesn't dare to come.
Lu Qi can also eat meat openly and improve his food.
Huang Lidao: "No wonder you can make it so fast, but making ten knives, ten swords and ten axes a month is indeed difficult, but it is also your chance to turn around."
"You have strength and can shoot a high-grade sword. The Lu family will not let you go easily. If you can get things done this time, I will recommend you to join the county government."
Lu Qi immediately refused. He didn't want to join the county government. Wouldn't that mean he was living under someone else's roof?!
He can give in when necessary, but he doesn't want to be a coward for the rest of his life.
He said, "Thank you so much for your kindness, Mr. Huang. I'm so embarrassed that I won't be able to eat without my body."
Jia San quickly said: "Master Lu, do you want to reject the county government? This is a rare opportunity..."
Lu Qidao: "Third Master misunderstood. I refused to enter the county government. And I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned by the county government."
He called San Ye, which proved that he was estranged from Jia San.
Jia San didn't know it yet, but when he heard that he was willing to complete the task, he nodded with satisfaction.
Huang Lidao: "Master Lu, you don't want to join the county government? That's all. I won't force you, but this can be regarded as the county government owes you a favor. You can take this token. If something happens, you can go to the county government to seek asylum."
He took out his waist badge and handed it over.
Lu Qi took a look and saw that it was the waist badge of a catcher, one of the six houses in the county. With it, even if he didn't wear a flying bird uniform, he would be considered half a catcher.
It can be considered as having an official bodyguard.
Lu Qi was happy that his strength could stop the gangsters, and this waist card would make the Lu family afraid to touch him.
Saved a lot of trouble.
Lu Qidao: "Huang Captou, my family is poor, I can build it, but I lack iron materials, and I can pay less for the craftsmanship, but I have to work day and night, and I can't keep up with my physical fitness, so there is nothing I can do..."
Huang Li snapped his fingers, and a team of mules came creaking in the distance, pulling a batch of things.
