Walking on the street, the autumn sun shines over the earth, covering the roofs, streets, and pedestrians. Lin Xiao's face looks a little dazed.
"Brother Shenxiao, what's wrong with you?" Tiebi asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"It's nothing serious." Lin Xiao responded, but his heart was bleeding.
I never expected, never expected that Guan Leshan, the majestic martial arts master and the military governor of the Zhenwu Division, would pretend to be stupid just to get rid of the ten thousand silver.
First, he was robbed of more than 9,000 taels of silver by Chief Lin, and then 10,000 taels of silver were stolen by Guan Duwu. When he thought about it, Lin Xiao felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. He only felt that the future of life was gloomy and uncertain.
black!
This Zhenwusi is a dark den.
As his thoughts turned, the trance was only for a moment. Lin Xiao quickly regained consciousness. It was impossible to just let it go. The more than 9,000 taels of silver stolen by Lin Sishou was barely justified, but Guan Duwu wanted to ignore that.
Ten thousand taels of silver is not enough, we must find ways to get it back.
The two of them went to Lin'an Restaurant again, asked for a private room, and ordered a medicinal meal, this time from Iron Wall.
Treating guests to a meal is like being a human being. Only by coming and going can you last forever. After all, giving or taking will only be short-lived, because no one can be like your parents, regardless of the cost.
Although Tiebi is thick-skinned and familiar, he also understands how to behave in the world.
If you invite me, I will also invite you. Only by interacting with each other can the relationship be maintained. As for whether it can be better, it depends on some details. You can tell from the smallest details. Whether some people can have a deep friendship can often be felt from some details.
People can hide themselves, but the details are the most difficult to hide. It is a manifestation of instinct.
"Brother Shenxiao, let's go on a night spree." Tiebi lowered his voice while eating and drinking, and the faint buzzing of mosquitoes reached Lin Xiao's ears.
Lin Xiao nodded in response.
It is always more convenient to move at night. After all, it is harder to be discovered when the night is dark and windy.
The task assigned by Chief Lin to Lin Xiao is to investigate first and then deal with it. How many merit points you can get for completing this task depends on the specific situation, but according to Tiebi, it is usually one or twenty or twenty or thirty points of merit.
In this way, this is what the Zhenwu Division usually gains from performing tasks. As before, it can range from a few dozen points to more than two thousand points like Lin Xiao's. It is very rare and can only be encountered.
The harvest was great, but the price was also great. Eighteen colleagues were killed, several were seriously injured, and some were slightly injured.
Gains are often directly proportional to risks.
Chief Lin handed over this task to Lin Xiao. As for how Lin Xiao would complete it, he ignored it. Originally, Lin Xiao could act alone and get one or twenty or thirty points of merit, but Lin Xiao finally invited others to join him.
action.
The main reason is that this is my first mission. It is different from the previous attack on the Yan Dynasty stronghold. It was a collective action.
As a newcomer, in order to avoid mistakes, I would rather get fewer merit points to ensure that the mission can be completed smoothly.
The duty of the Suppression Department is to prevent, prohibit, and put an end to the use of force to disrupt forbidden things. When doing tasks, it is best to complete them directly in one go. The most taboo thing is to not be able to complete the task to alert the enemy and cause subsequent troubles.
The woodcutter was his partner. Lin Xiao had been looking for him from the beginning, but the woodcutter had gone into seclusion. In order to break through the real martial arts, Lin Xiao looked for Xiao Tianyu, which was equivalent to indirectly giving him the credit, but Xiao Tianyu wanted to heal his wounds.
It would be best to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. Lin Xiao finally approached Tiebi. After much calculation, Tiebi was the third choice.
At that time, Lin Xiao decided that if Tiebi was not free, he would act alone.
After carefully tasting the medicinal food at Lin'an Restaurant, Lin Xiao and Tiebi did not leave in a hurry. They left just when night fell and headed for the northern suburbs of Lin'an County.
Lin'an County has an inner city in the center, surrounded by east, west, north and south, each with its own suburbs. There is Liangxin Pavilion in the western suburbs, and behind Liangxin Pavilion is Yizhuang.
Most of the northern suburbs are manors, built by some wealthy people in the inner city. The land is relatively cheap and the construction value is relatively cheap, but this is not the point. The point is that the northern suburbs are surrounded by mountains and winding streams. The scenery is pleasant and very
It is suitable to build a manor and live in it during the hot summer and autumn dry weather, which will make it more comfortable.
Furthermore, the inner city is only so big. It is difficult to build a larger manor. It is not only a problem of money, but even having money may not be able to solve it.
You want to build, I want to build, he wants to build too, and if they build again and again, won’t the entire inner city turn into a manor, and won’t most of the people have to move to the outer city?
Who can agree?
Lin Xiao and Tiebi walked out of the inner city and headed straight for the northern suburbs. They didn't look like people who were going to perform a mission at all, but like people who came to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
In the northern suburbs, there is a gurgling stream passing by. It has just fallen at night and the coolness is already much better than that in the inner city. The cool breeze is gentle and makes you feel more comfortable.
The manors are scattered in an orderly manner, and are thousands of meters apart from each other. They do not interfere with each other, and they can usually visit each other.
"There are a total of thirteen manors in the northern suburbs." Tie Bi introduced in a homely manner: "Twelve of them were built by wealthy men in the inner city of Lin'an County, such as this one..."
The iron wall points to a manor on the left, and the lights are already on.
"That was built by the owner of Lin'an Restaurant." Tie Bi retracted his finger and said, and Lin Xiao suddenly realized.
Among the twelve manor houses, Tiebi clearly told which one was built by whom in the inner city, but Tiebi did not know the last one, which was the thirteenth one.
"It is said that it was built by a young man from the county town, but he rarely shows up in the county town." Tiebi said, and this thirteenth manor was the goal of the two of them tonight.
"The county city?" Lin Xiao stared away, looking towards the other side of the mountain, where the thirteenth manor was located.
Lin Xiao didn't understand why Chief Lin wanted to come and investigate on his own before making a decision, but if he didn't understand, just follow the instructions. If he did, maybe he would understand.
"Let's go." Lin Xiao whispered, Tie Bi nodded, the two of them jumped, landed slightly, and immediately flew towards the mountain, trying to avoid those manors to avoid being discovered, after all, those
In the manor, there are warriors who look after the house and guard the courtyard.
There is no shortage of quasi-warriors, and there are also some serious warriors.
After learning martial arts, I can no longer use martial arts to commit crimes, and I don’t belong to gangs. What should I do if I want to live a more prosperous life?
It's nothing more than selling some martial arts skills to rich families, guarding their homes and homes, protecting their safety, and receiving high returns.
Those rich families also understand very well that if they want to hire warriors to look after their homes and homes, they have to be willing to spend money. The more powerful the warriors are, the more they need to spend a lot of money to hire them. Otherwise, why would they care about you and ruin themselves?
?
It is said that there are one thousand ways and one ten thousand. In all dealings in the world, the two words "interest" are inseparable.
Money is benefit, and favor is also benefit.
Of course, there are also pure friendships, but whether they can last forever is hard to say.
"It is normal for rich families to hire warriors to look after their homes and courtyards." Tie Bi said in a low voice as he and Lin Xiao walked around the manors: "But there have also been cases where warriors who guarded their homes and courtyards guarded their homes and robbed themselves. First, they raped wives and daughters.
If you seek wealth and kill again, tsk tsk, that feels so good, you are truly a winner in life."
Lin Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this. It wasn't that he was unexpected, but he felt that doing so was too 'unscrupulous'. It was natural to receive a high salary, look after the home and care for the home, but to rape the wife and daughter to make money and kill them, that's too much.
It's too much, it's not what a person should do. Can someone who does such a thing be called a human being?
Just like animals and beasts.
As for the strange sentence behind the iron wall, "It's so cool, you're the winner in life", Lin Xiao didn't care.
"I performed that task alone. After I inquired about it clearly, I punched his dog's head to pieces." Tiebi smiled and said, "You might also encounter such troublesome things in the future. You will probably feel uncomfortable at first.
It’s not good, I will scold this terrible world, but if you encounter it a few times and listen to it, you will gradually get used to it.”
"Have you gotten used to it?" Lin Xiao murmured once, and it was difficult to distinguish clearly for a while. It was really amazing to think that he had been a human being in two lives, but in the past life he lived in peace and prosperity, and he was just a commoner. Let's talk about it.
There is no problem in ordering poisonous chicken soup, but other aspects are just hearsay. Even in this life, I have been running for survival since I was a child, and my background is extremely ordinary, so it is even harder to come into contact with those things.
Someone in this family died of old age today, and someone in that family died of illness that day, so what? After all, birth, old age, illness and death are not bad things, nor do they have anything to do with the world.
But Lin Xiao still felt that even if he encountered such a terrible thing, it would probably be difficult to get used to it.
However, before reaching that step, Lin Xiao himself did not dare to pat his chest and say in a positive tone that it was 100% possible. Just take it one step at a time. People's hearts are the most unpredictable, and the same is true for his own heart. It has never happened.
I can't tell what happened.
"Brother Shenxiao, there is a rule of our Zhenwu Division. I don't know if the woodcutter has told you about it, but I have to tell you again. You must also remember that no matter what we see from the manor,
Remember to stay calm first and never be carried away by anger and draw your sword to kill immediately, unless the other party insists on resisting." Tiebi said solemnly: "If the other party does not resist and is very cooperative, we must capture him first.
Interrogation is the case-handling process and rules of the Zhenwu Division, and the amount of merit we receive in the end is directly related to the outcome of the interrogation."
"Understood." Lin Xiao nodded. There is no rule without rules. Since you are in the Zhenwu Division, you still have to abide by what you should abide by. After all, the original purpose of the Zhenwu Division was to maintain the stability of the dynasty and prevent the use of force to prevent chaos.
After just chatting, the two of them had already bypassed the twelve manors and arrived at the thirteenth manor.
The thirteenth manor was built at the foot of the mountain. It was farther away from the other twelve manors, more than 10,000 meters. It seemed to exist independently and seemed so out of place. Overall, its construction style was also different from that of the other ten manors.
The two are very different and seem to be more exquisite. According to Tiebi, they were built by craftsmen invited from the county town, while the other twelve were built by craftsmen from the county town.
From this point of view, there is still a gap in the craftsmanship between the county and county craftsmen.
Lin Xiao was once curious as to why Chief Lin had to carry out this task himself, but he did not tell himself what the task was. He just had to investigate and then carry out it himself.
So, what exactly is in the manor?
Since it is a task, it will not be a good thing. Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's eyes condensed slightly.
In the night, the manor was not as brightly lit as the other twelve manors. Instead, it was a little dim, as if no one was there.
Silence!
Tiebi and Lin Xiao looked at each other, Tiebi made a gesture, Lin Xiao nodded, and did not immediately move into the manor. Instead, he separated from the left and right and slowly cruised around the manor, taking in the topography of the manor first.
