Chapter 408 One Year (Subscription Request)

In the blink of an eye, one year has passed.

The Town God's Temple in Huarong County is where the Beggar Clan Incense Hall is located.

It has obviously been repaired and is no longer dilapidated and decayed.

The curl of cigarette smoke in the main hall adds a bit of mystery to the repainted statue of the City God.

A large grand master's chair is placed neatly under the statue of the god, with two benches neatly placed on both sides.

Here, it is decorated as a place for talking and holding meetings!

At this time, Jia Huan was sitting on the Grand Master's chair with his horse and golden sword, listening to the report of the disciples of Xiangtang.

"Master Xiang, the plum blossom thief has stolen the Zhang family's old house!"

"Well, you can let the brothers take action. If you are sensible, just get out!"

Jia Huan said coldly: "Remind him, if he dares to harass the people, then don't leave!"

"clear!"

The boy from Xiangtang who reported the report nodded repeatedly, and then hesitantly said: "Master Xiang, if we let things go like this, will it cause dissatisfaction with the Zhang family?"

"So what if you're dissatisfied?"

Jia Huan sneered and said: "We are not their nursing home. If something happens, our Xiangtang will have to take the initiative to take responsibility. It's a beautiful idea!"

"But Xiangtang is not always vigilant enough against outsiders. Whenever they show signs of committing crimes, they will either launch a thunderous attack immediately or try every means to drive them away!"

The Xiangtang disciple in charge of the report smiled bitterly and said: "This time the Plum Blossom Bandits are rampant and they are specifically targeting the Zhang family. We have not used all our strength to expel them. Wouldn't it easily arouse suspicion?"

"You think more!"

Jia Huan sneered and said disdainfully: "When will our actions in Xiangtang depend on the expressions of local powerful people? Are you out of your mind?"

"Besides, it's not like you don't know what the Zhang family is. They usually bully men and women, are arrogant and domineering, and often beat and scold others, killing people. They are Huarong's first-class bullies, and they deserve to die!"

The Xiangtang disciple was scolded so hard that he couldn't raise his head, but his face still looked a little dissatisfied.

This is what Jia Huan is used to, and he is now reaping the consequences.

"I have told you many times that our gang puts chivalry first. No matter what we do, we must first be worthy of our own conscience!"

Jia Huan said angrily: "I am ashamed to be with someone like the Zhang family!"

After speaking, he waved his hands and changed the subject: "Is there anything else?"

"Master Xiang, Mr. Zhao from the Yamen sent a message and invited our Xiangtang to send out experts to jointly capture the peach blossom thief who may have sneaked into our Huarong!"

The Xiangtang disciple in charge of the report was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "I wonder what Xiangtang wants to do?"

"The Peach Blossom Thief, isn't he the lewd thief who committed crimes across the river before?"

Jia Huan's eyes turned cold and he said directly: "Anyone like this who dares to enter our Xiangtang territory has nothing to say and will be killed without mercy!"

"Brother Xiangtang, have you found out the whereabouts of this guy?"

He didn't care whether he had double standards or not. As the incense owner of Huarong Xiangtang of the Beggar Clan, he had such confidence.

As for Yamen Zhao Captou's thoughts, he naturally understood. As for inviting Xiangtang's masters to take action together, isn't it just asking him to take action himself?

Time is too short, how can Huarong Xiangtang find any good people?

That is to say, he is a person whose comprehensive strength has reached the level of a second-rate player in the world, but his exposed strength is as good as that of a third-rate player in the world?

"Not yet, I guess the news from the Yamen side is better!"

The Xiangtang disciple who was responsible for reporting the news shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Before, Xiangtang didn't pay much attention to that guy. We thought he wouldn't cross the river easily. After all, we are in the area where the Beggar Clan headquarters is located!"

"Haha, how brave are the talented people? I just like guys like this who don't know how to live or die!"

Jia Huan sneered and said: "If I am captured alive by this Xiang Master, I must let him know how powerful he is!"

He has a lot of ways to concoct prostitutes and thieves here!

"Is there anything else?"

Seeing the other party shaking his head, Jia Huan waved his hand and said: "Then you go down, I want to move too!"

When he arrived at the county government office, Capt. Zhao had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Jia Xiang, I have to trouble you this time!"

Capt. Zhao was quite polite, with a smile on his face.

In the past year, his life has been quite good.

With the cooperation of the Beggar Clan Incense Hall, the security situation in the entire Huarong area is quite good.

Even if there is a fierce dragon crossing the river, with the cooperation of the Beggar Clan Xiangtang, they can either directly capture or expel it, and nothing will go wrong.

Although Beggar Clan Xiangtang received a lot of red rewards from the Yamen, he also received many compliments and rewards from the Yamen bosses, and he lived a happy life.

If there was no possibility of promotion in the county government, he would have become a high-ranking official due to his merit.

"No problem. The Beggar Gang has always been chivalrous. They will definitely not watch a being like the Peach Blossom Thief come to Huarong to run wild!"

Jia Huan smiled and said: "I heard that Capt. Zhao may be transferred to the government office. Congratulations!"

"You haven't even written your horoscope yet, it's a bit early to say this now!"

He said that, but looking at Capt. Zhao's mouth almost splitting to the back of his head, it is estimated that this matter is a foregone conclusion.

After all, this is the world of martial arts, and there are corresponding departments in the yamen.

That's right, it's the famous six doors.

Just kidding, with the Emperor Zhu’s urine, how could he really let the world go unchecked?

Not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang himself was born in the Jianghu and knew the power of the Jianghu forces. Just those ruthless people who dare to kill officials and disrupt order, can ordinary policemen be able to catch them?

As for mobilizing the garrison to deal with the ruthless people in the martial arts world, it is not so convenient.

At present, the Japanese pirates have not yet completely erupted, and the local garrisons of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the garrisons, especially the details of the local garrisons in the south, have not been completely exposed. Anyone who knows about it knows what it is.

It is almost a dream to want them to encircle and suppress the vicious and vicious martial arts strongmen.

After a while of talking and laughing, the cooperation was confirmed.

Such cooperation has taken place several times in the past year, and they have gained considerable experience.

It is not without benefits for the Beggar Gang Xiangtang to help.

If the target is the existence of the court issuing a bounty document, it is natural to issue a red reward directly.

If there is no bounty, the county government will also express it and provide certain conveniences in other aspects. In short, it is mutually beneficial.

Of course, there are also some filth and disagreements!

The most disgusting thing is that the bounty issued by the court, when it reaches Huarong Xiangtang, is only about half of the amount in the document.

According to Captain Zhao, this is because the county government has not had any experience, otherwise there would be even fewer.

Fortunately, the officials in the county government are quite aware of the situation, or their minds are still clear. They dare not really use the tricks in the officialdom to fool Xiangtang, otherwise they will suffer.

In addition, sometimes the county government is a little irrational and wants to use Xiangtang as a black glove. Jia Huan has never agreed to such a thing.

So too, the relationship between Xiangtang and the government is not close. Jia Huan has a good relationship with Captain Zhao, but he has not even met those officials a few times.

Jia Huan doesn't care. He has no intention of mixing in the officialdom, so why bother himself?

After confirming the details of the joint attack, Captain Zhao suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Master Jia, the Plum Blossom Thief's incident made the officials in the yamen very unhappy!"

"If they are unhappy, then they are unhappy!"

Jia Huan said disapprovingly, "The Plum Blossom Thief didn't harm ordinary people, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Captain Zhao smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Mr. Zhang, who had a lot of property stolen, has come to the yamen to make trouble, and he insisted that the yamen catch the Plum Blossom Thief!"

"Then you guys take action to catch him!"

Jia Huan said with a smile, "It is said that this guy is also a good Qinggong player, and it is not easy to chase him!"

"So, what those officials mean is that they hope I hope Xiangtang can help!"

"Don't dream, Zhao, you should know my temper. I usually won't be ruthless to people like Plum Blossom Bandits, as long as they don't make too much noise!"

"I know, so I have helped Xiangtang to decline. It's not a good thing to let the Jianghu forces intervene in this matter. It's better to let the Six Gates come forward!"

"That's right!"

Jia Huan said with a smile: "I want Xiangtang to come forward when I encounter some troubles. This matter is not easy to say!"

After separating from Zhao, he returned to the Chenghuang Temple. He immediately greeted five or six Xiangtang disciples and picked up his weapons to prepare for action.

The time is still too short!

These Xiangtang second-bag disciples are already considered to be good-looking warriors.

It was during this year that Xiangtang pushed them out with resources, and Jia Huan also spent some time to guide them, otherwise it would be even more miserable.

There is no way, the previous dead ghost Wuxiangzhu was too useless.

Almost all the resources accumulated by Xiangtang were taken by him. Except for the money and food that had to be handed over to the branch, the rest of the benefits were all taken by himself and his confidants.

As a result, except for him and his confidants who had free time to practice martial arts, the other disciples of Xiangtang were busy making a living. How could they have time and leisure to practice martial arts?

When Jia Huan took over Xiangtang, the three-bag disciples and four-bag disciples all went to other Xiangtangs, and their confidants also jumped ship.

The result was that Huarong Xiangtang had no one who could fight except him.

This was also a very strange thing. If the branch and the headquarters did not know the reason, Jia Huan, the owner of Xiangtang, would be in trouble.

Fortunately, practicing external martial arts is very effective, and it will be a small success in about half a year.

By then, there will be a few more people in Xiangtang, whose strength can barely reach the existence of quasi-third-rate heroes.

For Huarong Xiangtang at this time, it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

Fortunately, if they join forces at this time, with the help of some weapons and tools, they can exert the strength of third-rate warriors, which is enough for the time being.

Otherwise, what else can we do?

A good cook cannot cook without rice. The branch office and the headquarters will definitely not support people and horses.
