C11 Stubborn bear purple peak
In the dining hall of Ba Zhong County, there were a few simple tables and benches. However, the food inside was pretty good. The rice was all right, the four dishes and one soup, one meat and two veggies. The soup seemed to be a soup made from a large bone, the soup very rich and the mountain fungus and mushrooms were very tempting.
At first glance, the cafeteria wasn't very big. It seemed to have been renovated into a small room. However, it was very clean inside and there wasn't even a speck of dust at the corners. It was obvious that the chef was diligent in cleaning it.
It was already past noon, and the dining hall was empty. Presumably, everyone had already eaten their lunch. At the corner of the dining hall, a rough looking man wearing sackcloth was quietly eating a meal.
There was no need to think too much about it, this burly man was County Governor Jiang's Inner Nephew, King Kong's Disciple Xiong Zifeng. Mu Tu sat down next to Xiong Zifeng for lunch. Before he could make a sound, he heard him mutter softly:
"What the hell? If I don't let you look at me, you'll have to look at me. If you keep looking, I'm going to bite you!" With that, Xiong Zifeng opened his big mouth and started to bite at the pig head, ruthlessly ripping off a large piece of pig head meat and chewing on it.
"Puchi!" Mu Tu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Aiyah!" Unexpectedly, he tore open the wound on his stomach, and a slight pain spread throughout his entire body.
"You … Are you laughing at me? " Xiong Zifeng put down the pig head in his hands and looked at Mu Tu fiercely. A fierce glint appeared in his eyes, but his big mouth and palm that were covered in lard still looked stupid and adorable.
Mu Tu shushed him a few times with a "hiss" before finally holding back his laughter, "I didn't! I'm not laughing at you, hmm... There really isn't one! " The corners of her eyes were curved, her lips were slightly raised, and her face was red from holding it in. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Mu Tu had endured it very hard.
"My name is Mu Tu, and I am a constable of the Ba Zhong County. You should be Lord Jiang's nephew, Big Brother Xiong, the disciple of Kong Kim! "Lord Jiang told me to look for you and help me settle a murder case," Mu Tu put down the food in his hands, and said very seriously to Xiong Zifeng who had an expression of dissatisfaction as he continued to gobble down the food.
"Oh …" He had to help! "Sure, but what about the benefits?" Xiong Zifeng did not even raise his head as he continued to tear away at the pig's head.
"Benefits?" Mu Tu scratched his head, he had not thought about it.
"Nonsense. Without any benefits, how could I, Old Bear, help you? Are you that handsome?" Xiong Zifeng raised his head and looked at the dumbstruck Mu Tu with contempt, and then muttered, "He isn't ugly."
It's a good idea," he said, "to cut short the fit, to cut the shoulders, and to cut the waist." Neck prolongation, the appearance of white matter, nothing, lead. The bun looked like a feather, with white teeth and bright lips. Bright eyes, the right to support, beautiful figure, quiet leisure. She was soft and charming to her words. In this world, the bone should be shown on the map.
He truly is like jade, a stranger, a young master unparalleled." Looking at his back which was as broad as a tiger's and waist thick like a bear's, his face, alas ~ Forget about it, no matter how rough he was, his limbs were still thick and long, and he looked just like a wild king.
Mu Tu thought for a while, "Benefits, mm … "To promote the stability of society in the martial arts world, to create a better and harmonious life for the people, and to rejuvenate their prestige in the martial arts world …"
"Stop, what I want to discuss with you is the actual remuneration, you bastard, don't talk about ideals with me," Xiong Zifeng curled his lips in disdain, and casually picked up the pig head to take another bite.
"But County Governor Manor doesn't have any compensation. I don't have any myself!" Mu Tu shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands, indicating that he couldn't do anything about it.
"How could Uncle Jiang give me any money? He's determined to be a good parent. Apart from a little supporting family, he gave his salary to the poor." Furthermore, there is also the subsidy of the County Governor Manor's internal dining hall. I'm afraid that you bastards will not be able to work and cause trouble for the commoners if you do not eat your fill. "But he is him, I am me, one yard goes one yard. If you want me to help you, you have to pay me, and I'm not familiar with him!" Xiong Zifeng finally finished eating the entire pig head, and comfortably lied on the chair and burped to his heart's content.
He then slowly squinted his eyes and said, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that our Vajra Gate needs a large amount of medicinal herbs to practice the Body Protection Art. It's very expensive." It's the rule of my Vajra Gate that you have to work hard to get paid for your crimes. "
"But I really don't have any money. Can I owe you something first?" Mu Tu licked his slightly dry lips, extremely embarrassed.
"Write a promissory note for 100 taels of silver and I'll take the list." 's eyes flashed, and after carefully sizing up Mu Tu, he set a price.
"100 taels?" "Why don't you just rob them?" Mu Tu slammed the bowl in his hands onto the table, then looked at Xiong Zifeng with both of his eyes, trying very hard to resist the thought of pulling out the blade.
"Snatching more effort, I already set the price clearly, and that Yellowsand Gang is not someone to be trifled with, I have already lost my business!" Xiong Zifeng picked his teeth, and spat on the ground, which was extremely unhygienic.
Behind him, a chef quietly slipped out of the kitchen. It was as if he was afraid that the fight between the two of them would bring disaster to the kitchen.
"Why not? I led my men over there today and almost arrested Huang Shahu. If it wasn't for them not being able to help, Huang Shashi would have taken the cold jade pendant away from them …" Mu Tu argued with all his might, hoping to lower the price.
"Cold Jade Pendant? You're talking about that top-grade Frigid Profound Jade that can help people condense inner energy, how can it be taken away by someone? Let's go, I will accompany you to capture that Huang Shahu criminal. " Xiong Zifeng slammed the table fiercely, stood up and was about to drag Mu Tu out. Zi Feng! I heard that Uncle wants you to do something, but you still have to accept payment right? " The County Governor Lord Jiang walked with heavy steps into the dining hall of County Governor Manor. His face was livid, as though he would explode with thunderous fury if Xiong Zifeng did not give him an explanation.
Under Xiong Zifeng's resentful gaze, Mu Tu silently pushed his bowl to the side and changed his position.
Seeing that this brat did not care about loyalty, Xiong Zifeng lowered his head, but refused to beg, "Uncle, the rules of my King Kong Sect requires money to help people, the resources consumed for training are too expensive. I almost cannot afford the iron essence and ginseng that my fellow brothers use right now, not to mention the snow silver and 100 year old ginseng that I need, I have to save up money too."
"Zi Feng, we have to be considerate even if we have to earn money. This Yellowsand Gang has harmed our Ba Zhong County for so many years. They have suppressed the small economy with their meat and fish, and they have almost built a small city beside my Ba Zhong County. It wasn't easy to get ahold of their weakness this time, and you're not willing to lend Uncle a hand and get rid of this Ba Zhong County's tumor? " County Governor Lord Jiang's face was full of pain, but a few people beside him lowered their heads in shame.
Only Xiong Zifeng kept his neck straight, "This is a matter of principle. I don't accept money, but set this precedent, in the future, anyone who comes to my Vajra Gate to do business will all use a favor. How are we going to earn money, how are we going to cultivate?"
This Xiong Zifeng was really a fool who did not make any turns. He did not see that Lord Jiang's face had started to turn green, and did not have any sharp eyes at all. If this fellow were to be involved in a matter of principle, he wouldn't be able to pull the eight oxen back.
As if it had been silent for a century, the corners of County Governor Lord Jiang's mouth formed a curve, his eyes squinted as he looked at Xiong Zifeng and said: "Zi Feng, today in my internal cafeteria, you ate 50 taels of pig's head which was originally used to reward the little constable!"
"50 taels! Uncle, do you think you're a golden pig?!" Xiong Zifeng stood up and roared without restraint.
"Mm …" County Governor Jiang suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Xiong Zifeng.
"No, that's not it. I'm saying that no matter how much your pig's head counts, it's not worth this price." Xiong Zifeng knew that he spoke wrongly and quickly explained.
Seeing that County Governor Jiang's expression was getting worse, Xiong Zifeng could not remember what he had said, "This pig's head is too expensive, I mean this pig's head is too expensive."
"Is it expensive? This is meat and meat for those who have done well, not for a pig like you to eat. It's an honor, an honor, do you understand? " County Governor Jiang bent his knuckles and knocked on the table.
"Wha-merciful man, it's not like this kid was able to capture the culprit from Yellowsand Gang, I know the strength of the Yellowsand Gang's leader, he is a ruthless character. According to my master, the strength of the Yellowsand Gang's leader is unfathomable, not only is she a hooligan, whoever saw that fellow acting is dead. "You want to use this kid to capture someone for his crime? Are you kidding me?" Xiong Zifeng spat at the ground in disdain.
"A casual spitting in County Governor Manor fine of thirty silver taels." County Governor Lord Jiang squinted his eyes once again as he smiled sinisterly like an old fox with deep foresight.
"Master, this Little Brother Xiong also spat at first," Mu Tu followed Lord Jiang's instructions and stabbed him hard.
"Kid, you're not kind at all. You're a werewolf, and you're a bit more ruthless than others." Xiong Zifeng glared angrily at the slowly approaching Mu Tu.
"Then 60 gold coins. Adding the 50 gold coins from before, it should be enough for this round's compensation right?" County Governor Lord Jiang stroked his beard and looked at Xiong Zifeng.
"Me doesn't accept it. Why is it that even with fifty taels of pig's head, he is still unable to capture the criminal!" Xiong Zifeng was still as stubborn as before. He didn't see his uncle unable to hold back any longer and was prepared to cut him up.
In order to prevent the family from falling out, the chef at the side interrupted, "That was to reward Young Constable Mu for capturing the King of Thieves, Dao Buting. Although Dao Buting was saved by someone in the end …"
The County Governor Lord Jiang continued, "But at least we now know that the Thief King was originally a member of a premeditated reactionary organization. Our county's intelligence personnel are currently intensely investigating, and we originally didn't need to tell you about this, we can't just watch you erase Little Brother Mu's honor."
Hearing that, Xiong Zifeng's eyes immediately lit up, the corner of his mouth split into two big tiger teeth, and he laughed out loud: "You, you brat, you've captured King Thief, Dao Buting? "Why didn't you say so earlier? That old brat stole a bottle of Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pill from our head, and when our head says that he's going to cut us apart if he sees one, anyone who helps him will be our close friends, and they will do three things for him for free."
Eyebrows... Mu Tu looked at this fellow speechlessly. Who would actually go around shouting and grabbing something all day long?
"Don't change the topic. The reward has already been paid. We'll talk about three things in the future." County Governor Jiang obviously didn't want this fool to have an easy time, as he tightly grasped his sore spot and began to gobble up food.
"Uncle, don't be angry. What you say is what it is. Is that not enough?" I, Old Bear, will accompany my little brother to catch that disorderly mob from Yellowsand Gang. However, I said beforehand, I really can't beat that Yellowsand Gang Sect Master's masked Sand Monster. That fellow's yellow sand power has already entered the Transformation Realm, my half dragon king Body Protection Art can't defend against his strength. " Xiong Zifeng rolled his eyes and looked at Mu Tu beside him.
"Little brother, do you have a way?"
Mu Tu scratched his head, "I have yet to see the Yellowsand Gang's Sect Leader, I just fought with the Second Leader before, and broke his weapon."
"The poison tooth of the iron pen, Huang Shashi's iron pen, was cut by you? You are not bragging, right? That was forged from the cold iron of the Kunlun Mountains. Back then, my master went to help the craftsman pull the bellows to earn some extra money. Xiong Zifeng obviously did not believe in Mu Tu. Looking at the Twilight Knife on Mu Tu's back, it didn't look like a divine weapon at all.
"Little Brother Mu, you're not a person who runs the train with his mouth full. Since he said he would cut it, then he definitely won't lie to you!" If it wasn't for the fact that Head Constable Shui went on a business trip to the Yichang Office and transferred away the expert from my County Governor Manor, laozi would not have come to find a son of a bitch like you no matter what. " Lord Jiang saw this fellow dilly-dallying, he fiercely slapped his hand on the table, and pointed at Xiong Zifeng's nose as he scolded.
"Ai …" Uncle, Uncle, don't be like this. But at least let me understand the situation! If no one here is able to resist the yellow sand Hou, then even if I were to accompany this little brother here, it would be a wasted trip.
Xiong Zifeng respectfully ran over and rubbed County Governor Jiang's chest. After getting a slap on the head, and seeing that County Governor Jiang seemed to have calmed down, he said to Mu Tu with a bear-like face, "Little brother, it's not that I don't believe you, let's hold hands for now. If there's really hope for us to capture him, I, Old Bear, will definitely accompany you without saying anything further. If the two of us do not get along, let's wait for Head Constable Shui's return! "
When Mu Tu heard this, he realized that the donkey's words were reasonable. "Come, let's give it a hand."
The duo came to County Governor Manor to act out the stage. Even though it was called a stage, it was actually a small stage with two layers of bluestone bricks.
The sun was shining now, and he would be sweating very soon.
"Stop talking nonsense and go all out. If you win against me, I will accompany you to enter this dragon pit and tiger cave."
Xiong Zifeng took off the linen clothes on his body and threw it to the side, revealing his familiar muscles, his palm struck out at Mu Tu's face, the powerful palm wind whistled, it was obvious that he did not want to go easy on him.
Seeing that it was blocked by the ferocious curved blade, Mu Tu was immediately struck by it, causing the gold ring to resonate loudly. His palm became numb, and he was forced to retreat four or five steps. With one move, Mu Tu knew that this fellow's strength was too strong.
Seeing that he had succeeded in his first move, Xiong Zifeng felt that he looked down on Mu Tu for looking down on him for looking down on him. He only felt that it was a shamelessness, the stubborn donkey's temper flared up, and with another move that could move mountains and overturn the seas, he channeled all the energy in his body into his palms as he retracted his palms and struck at Mu Tu's waist, as if he wanted to finish him off in one move.
