Loan Wusheng

Chapter 10 Winning over
Although the status of the constables is low and they are not respected in the county government.

But speaking of one thousand, preaching of ten thousand.

He was still wearing the black leather uniform that represented the county yamen's clerk.

Now that the Emperor of the Great Zhou is in power, although there are some troubles, they have nothing to do with Pingzhang County, or at least Heishan County.

This is not a time of chaos, so Hei Pi, the clerk representing the county government, cannot die in public like this!

In the past, when the Qingshui Gang attacked the police officers, they would attack suddenly like this, hit them hard with clubs, and then run away.

The lives of the arrested officers were not in danger, they only suffered minor injuries.

There was no substantial evidence against the person who struck the victim with a club, and with the County Magistrate Feng Yi as his backer, the case could only be left unresolved.

After all, the Dianshi Xu Heng suddenly attacked, so the County Magistrate Feng Yi was naturally annoyed.

But this time it was different.

This time, several of them were caught.

What’s more, the person arrested is not an ordinary person, but the brother-in-law of the Qingshui Gang leader. How will this end?
Seeing this scene, the incense master's face turned extremely pale due to excessive blood loss. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

He felt that his role as incense master had ended.

He forced a smile, bandaged the wound casually, and whispered, "Sir, let's discuss this first."

After saying this, he ordered a man holding a stick to run to the hall to report the news.

"Why should we disturb the government? We can solve the problem privately. You are putting too much blame on me for killing officials and treason."

The incense master spoke kindly to Zheng Jun, but he was cursing him in his heart.

"Damn you, didn't you say you would send some ordinary police officers who don't know how to fight? How could there be such a cruel person who can use a broken knife so well! Fortunately, it is a broken knife. If it was a whole knife, I would have been killed on the spot!"

The person he cursed was not Zheng Jun, but other people in the gang and Xu Heng, the county magistrate.

The Dianshi Xu Heng failed to catch the wave-walking thief Lou Wei, and also offended the Qingshui Gang and the county magistrate Feng Yi, so he had to show weakness and apologize. So every day he sent some ordinary constables who had not been tempered to let the Qingshui Gang beat them up to vent their anger.

It was like this in the past few days. With few people and no martial arts skills, they were no match for the Qingshui Gang.

They are often beaten with bruises on their faces and noses, and in worse cases, their arms are broken and they need to rest for several months.

Cracking down on the police officers in this way in Lingongfang will naturally make the Qingshui Gang more prestigious in the workshop.

If he is not afraid of even the county government and the imperial court, he will naturally be able to intimidate the ordinary people.

But he didn't expect that today, he would get his eyes pecked when he was beating the eagle, and the gang leader's brother-in-law who came to vent his anger by beating people was captured, so he was helpless.

Although he is just a younger brother of a concubine, he is still a brother-in-law!

Zheng Jun listened to the incense master's words and turned a deaf ear to them.

Time passed, and soon, a middle-aged scholar wearing a long robe, with a short beard, and looking weak, came over with a slight smile.

Behind this middle-aged Confucian scholar, there is a man as tall as an iron tower.

There was a dangerous aura coming from his body.

After seeing the middle-aged scholar, the incense master immediately bowed and saluted: "Mr. Mu."

"Ah."

The scholar called Mr. Mu just nodded slightly, then looked at Zheng Jun and said in a friendly manner: "It is our fault this time. I hope the three officers can show mercy and let this kid go this time. The Qingshui Gang will send you a good gift."

After saying that, the iron tower man immediately took out three purses and threw them in front of Zheng Jun.

"A little care is not disrespectful."

Mr. Mu said very kindly, "They are all for the three of you. One is for Liu Jiadalang, as our gang's apology for the medicine. One is for Officer Zhou. I have heard of Officer Zhou's name a long time ago. Please have some wine with him."

"The last one is for Zheng Sanlang. Sanlang is a young hero. I, Mu, would like to apologize to Zheng Sanlang."

After saying that, Mr. Mu bowed to Zheng Jun very respectfully.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun naturally let go of the reckless boy.

The young man seemed to have lost his soul. When he saw Zheng Jun let him go, he quickly ran behind the iron tower man, terrified.

Zhou Pu was stunned to see Zheng Jun let go of the reckless boy so decisively.

He also wanted to talk to Zheng Jun, but he told him not to be in a hurry and to wait until the official from the yamen arrived.

Otherwise, if the other party goes back on his word and beats us up, who can we turn to for justice?

Seeing Zheng Jun act so decisively, Mr. Mu was also very surprised. Then he waved his hand, and immediately two people carried the reckless boy away.

Then, Mr. Mu spoke again: "Zheng Jia Sanlang has such courage, strategy, and keeps his word. He is really a talented person! Heishan County has produced such a famous figure again!"

"In my opinion, those Zhao Da and Wang Liu are just famous early, and there are no heroes in the era. If they run into Zheng Sanlang, they are just a few filthy people."

"Zheng Sanlang has such a great strategy and courage, but it is a bit unfair for him to be a small clerk in the county government. My Qingshui Gang welcomes heroes and heroes. If Zheng Sanlang does not want to be bound by the court anymore, he can come to my Qingshui Gang. We can eat meat and drink wine with big mouthfuls. Isn't it wonderful?"

After saying that, Mr. Mu immediately continued like a string of cannonballs, "Sanlang, I'm afraid you haven't practiced blood yet? The leader of our gang is a Qi-accumulating warrior, proficient in the 'Broken Jade Pillar Technique', and he can teach you! If Sanlang doesn't like it, we also have the 'Waves Stepping Sutra' and the 'Floating Light Force', both of which are body-tempering masters who specialize in these techniques and can teach you one by one."

"Three meals of meat a day, ten taels of rice a month!"

Mr. Mu's voice was powerful, and Zheng Jun was greatly moved after hearing it.

This……

"As for the matter of lowly status, there is no need to worry... There is no need to say much about the relationship between my gang and the county magistrate. The county magistrate has many ways to change the household registration, so don't worry."

After hearing these things, Zheng Jun was a little surprised. Before Zheng Jun could speak, Liu Yaozu, who had a head injury, shouted: "I am willing to go, I am willing to go!"

Mr. Mu naturally ignored the sound.

What he values is Zheng Jun.

Rather than capture.

At the age of sixteen, he could remain calm in the face of danger and had mastered the swordsmanship.

This level of strength is nothing, but such courage and talent are truly rare!

If he joined the Qingshui Gang, since he was a young man and had never seen the world, he could most likely be won over.

In this way, there will be successors in the gang.

As for this attack, it is harmless.

If the other party is a smart person, he will not mind this abrupt behavior.

After all, interests come first, and the three types of standing exercises plus constant guidance from the gang's experts are much better than this harmless attack.

Even if we fail to win him over, there is no need to worry.

It's not bad to maintain good relationships.

The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing. When you meet such a strange man, it is not a matter of life and death. The best way is to turn hostility into friendship. If you carry out some killing and fail to eradicate the root of the problem, wouldn't you be sowing disaster for yourself?
It would be fine if the people under your command were short-sighted and didn't know the rules, but as the top leader of the gang, you still have to know your priorities.

When Liu Yaozu saw that Mr. Mu ignored him for a long time, he shrank back angrily.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Jun clasped his fists and said, "Please allow me to think about it before giving you a reply."

"By the way, this dessert shop has also suffered an unexpected disaster. I hope your gang can compensate the store for some of the losses, so as not to tarnish your gang's reputation in Lin Workshop!"

"Of course. I'll pay for the shop."

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Mr. Mu did not show any dissatisfaction or disappointment: "If Zheng Sanlang has thought it through, you can come to the entrance of the workshop to find me."

Zheng Jun nodded, and then planned to help Liu Yaozu leave.

Seeing this, a gang member immediately acted quickly and helped Zheng Jun pick up the three bags of silver, and placed them respectfully in Zheng Jun's hands.

Zheng Jun didn't hesitate and took the purse from his brother-in-law and Da Liu, then left quickly.

As he looked at Zheng Jun's departing back, Mr. Mu's expression gradually became calm.

"Zheng Sanlang has the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf. He is seven parts fierce and three parts courageous. In addition, he has mastered the sword skills in the past ten days... If he is given twenty years, he will be another 'Street Cleaner Tiger', 'Black Mountain Bandit', or 'Zhang Qingyu'!"

……

That night, at Zhao's house.

Zhao Er was lying on the couch, and a thin little girl was applying medicine to him timidly.

Zhao Er grinned, groaned, and shouted with gritted teeth: "Kill that Zheng guy! How dare that kid insult me in public, big brother, why don't you do it? Why don't you do it!"

"Shut up, isn't that embarrassing enough?!"

Zhao Da's face turned pale at this moment, and he glanced coldly at the hysterical Zhao Er with a gloomy look.

When Zhao Er saw the look in his elder brother's eyes, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He immediately fell silent and dared not say a word.

After sending Zhao Er away, Zhao Da turned around and said to the timid and thin girl, "Cui Niang, I'm sorry to bother you today. Go back and have a rest first."

The thin girl felt relieved when she heard this, but she immediately thought of something and asked timidly, "Medicine money..."

"Today's medicine money will be deducted from your grandfather's account." Zhao Da didn't even raise his head, "Your grandfather still owes my family a lot of money."

"I……"

The skinny girl seemed to want to say something, but suddenly she felt a pain in her wrist. She looked carefully and saw that Zhao Er was holding her hand tightly, leaving a purple mark.

Zhao Er glared at the girl fiercely: "Get lost!"

The skinny girl didn't dare to ask for money for the medicine anymore, and at this moment Zhao Er let go of her hand. The girl hurriedly ran out of Zhao's house, not daring to look back.

"Why are you looking for information about Zhou Pu and Zheng Jun?!"

After the skinny girl left, Zhao Da's expression changed immediately. He came to the couch, stared at Zhao Er coldly, and said, "Don't cause trouble for me at this time! If the two of them quit, Liu Yaozu alone will not be enough. Do you want to take up the missing share?"

"That old bastard Xu Heng has been planning this for a long time. If anything goes wrong, I can't protect you!"

Hearing Zhao Da's scolding, Zhao Er was very annoyed and explained palely: "Brother, I just wanted to give that Zheng guy a hand and give him some strength so that he would make mistakes later..."

"What a waste of effort! Lou Wei is proficient in the Treading Wave Blade, and his disciple Liang Fan is no ordinary player either. How could these two fail? This Zheng guy has a few tricks, but they only have a few tricks. He doesn't even have the Blood Refining Skill! If we startle them and let them notice, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

"Tomorrow you go have a drink with Zhang Qingyu's brother-in-law and persuade him. Leave this kind of action to others. If you take action yourself, there will be no room for maneuver!"

After saying that, Zhao Da waved his robe, ignored Zhao Er's wound, and turned over to look at the account book locked in the cabinet.

These account books are filled with dense writing.

Zhao Da looked at the account books, a smile appeared on his face, and he started to calculate in his mind.

"Wu Quezi still has two taels of silver to pay back. Master Zhao is kindhearted and will give him another three months! After three months, if he still can't pay back my loan, Cui Niang will sell him to a brothel to pay off the debt."

　I changed the title of the book a little bit, changing the title from "Advance Future" to "Reversing Cause and Effect"

　　Not much difference
