Chapter 55: Comprehensive Division of Labor
Senior Brother Tian is named Tian Yuan, and he is also one of the more outstanding disciples in the martial arts school. His strength is on par with Chen Yingjie.
After the Autumn Hunt, the performance of Songhe Martial Arts School really eased the original dilemma. The previous employers of the ten senior brothers quickly renewed their contracts and renegotiated the price.
Moreover, many other employers came to the door, including some who had cooperated with Songhe Martial Arts School five years ago, and they knew each other quite well.
Senior Brother Tian and the four of them were invited by such an "old acquaintance" half a month ago.
Unexpectedly, only half a month later, something went wrong.
When Su Hanshan came to the main hall, he saw his second uncle and senior brother there. Senior brother Tian Yuan and the four of them had some minor injuries. After bandaging, they were also accompanied in the hall.
The old acquaintance, Shopkeeper Han, had a very good attitude. Although he lost a batch of goods, he did not appear aggressive and was eager to ask Songhe Martial Arts School to be responsible for the aftermath and compensation.
He himself was a little embarrassed, holding one of Su Tieyi's hands with both hands, and repeatedly thanked Senior Brother Tian Yuan and others for their life-saving grace.
It seems that he was frightened by those bandits, but according to what he meant, thanks to the escort of Senior Brother Arita and others, he and his family members escaped, and no one was seriously injured or killed. Already very happy.
"How come there are bandits in Cangshui County?"
Su Hanshan asked beside the senior brother with some confusion.
In his impression, since his birth, Cangshui County has never heard of any large-scale bandits.
The forces of the five major martial arts schools are located at the junction of the county's residential areas and the mountains. There are also a total of 400 county police officers inside, patrolling day and night for security, so that no bandits can survive in the vicinity.
Even in the surrounding counties, there is relatively little news about bandits.
"They are not in our county, they are bandits encountered in the border area of Cangshui County and Shihao County."
Zhou Zifan explained in a low voice, "I think they should be from Shanyang County. "Come here."
"In September, I heard in the restaurant that as a large number of refugees came north, the local people in Shanyang Many of the bandits fled abroad. "
"The refugees have a difficult journey, but most of the bandits are fierce and strong, and they often go ahead of the refugees and wreak havoc in every village, town, and county."
While he was explaining to Su Hanshan, shopkeeper Han over there was also comforted and went to rest first.
Only my family members were left in the main hall, so it would be easier to talk about something.
"The matter of Shopkeeper Han is the first trouble that needs to be solved after our martial arts school has hope of revitalizing. It must be handled safely."
Su Tieyi said, " No matter what his attitude is, I We must pay compensation in accordance with the rules. Zifan, you are in charge of the accounts now. How long do you think it will take for us to pay the compensation?”
Everyone looked sad when they heard the topic of money. Senior Brother Tian Yuan The others even sighed and lowered their heads.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zifan gave them good news.
"We can compensate now."
Zhou Zifan said, "These days, with the help of my uncle, we practice secretly and recuperate, and the medicines we need to buy have been reduced a lot. The expenses in this area are far less heavy than before. "
"As the number one hunter in Qiu, he drives away beasts for the people, and the government has a reward of silver, plus Qiu. All the prey we hunted have been sold, except for the Red Fire Beehive. The money we have on our account can directly cover the loss of Shopkeeper Han.”
Su Tieyi cheered up: “Okay!”< br>
“But if we lose this money, our restaurant must reopen.”
Zhou Zifan said, "It has been September and it is now November. Those three businesses have also passed the most emotional period, and the risk of our opening is no longer that high."
Su Tieyi was silent for a while and nodded. , and then cursed: "This group of blind bandits hurt our people and made us poor again. I will personally find them and throw them one by one." Go to the Nu Cang River!"
"Wait!" Zhou Zifan quickly persuaded him and said, "According to Junior Brother Tian's description, there are no masters among the bandits. Let Junior Brother take the people there. We should be able to take them down."
Su Tieyi said: "Then I will go faster."
"Uncle Master, you have something else to do."
Zhou Zifan turned his eyes and said, "Magistrate Gao is probably very interested in the Crimson Fire Hive, and the price he offered is kind, but Uncle Master You wanted to wait a little longer, so you didn’t rush to agree to him before.”
“Now you will send someone to send a message to the county magistrate and agree to sell him the Red Fire Beehive. The prerequisite is, please. He invited the owners of four other martial arts schools to be guests at the county magistrate's house tonight, and they talked about it until dawn."
Su Tieyi was a little confused: "What are you talking about?"
"Martial arts schools. There is so much to talk about as the Lord and the local magistrate. Mr. Gao can easily come up with a thousand reasons, so we don’t need to help him think about it.”
Zhou Zifan warned, "When all four hotel owners have arrived, let someone from the county magistrate's office notify you, and then, uncle, you can take the Crimson Fire Beehive over there."
"Remember, uncle, you You need to restrain your breath and don't go to the place where they are meeting guests in front of you. "In the backyard, just talk to Mr. Gao's butler about the hive. After the discussion is completed, you can sit there and drink tea and enjoy the scenery, making sure that no one of the hotel owners leaves the table halfway."
Su Tieyi nodded. Head, go out to find someone to spread the news.
"Elder brother arranged it this way."
Su Hanshan asked, "Do you think this robbery was a trap set up by a certain martial arts school?"
"If we could endure it back then, they would certainly be able to endure it and wait for a better opportunity, and would not resort to such crude and unsafe methods."
Zhou Zifan took a sip of tea, "But we still have to take precautions. Just in case."
Everyone nodded and understood his intention.
Su Hanshan said again: "We are both in the realm of heavenly ladder, and my second uncle is not a light-hearted person. Can he really hide it from those people?"
"The county magistrate said to Lei, The Huang family, a powerful local people, has long been dissatisfied with the behavior of trying to control the county government.”
Zhou Zifan was very satisfied with his junior brother's acumen and said with a smile, "Five years ago, if it weren't for the drastic changes, County Magistrate Gao would have introduced the power of our Songhe Martial Arts Hall into the county government and formed allies so that he could use his own methods. ”
“Now that he has expressed his intention to repair the relationship with us, why don’t we take advantage of it?”
Su Hanshan thought for a while and couldn't help but say something bad about his second uncle: "It's not very stable for my second uncle to be responsible for recruiting allies."
"But this beginning, my uncle must go, It has enough weight."
Zhou Zifan said with a smile, "I will contact Magistrate Gao about the follow-up matter."
Su Hanshan was relieved.
Five years ago, when Su Chaodong was still there, Zhou Zifan's opinions were already consulted on many matters in the martial arts gym.
Manage accounts and finances, identify allies, use tepid means to increase deterrence, etc.
In this kind of matter, not only can the senior brother beat the second uncle, but his experience and details are much better than Su Hanshan.
"Then I will be responsible for leading people to deal with those bandits."
Su Hanshan said to Tian Yuan, "Senior Brother Tian, you go and rest first. We will set off again after we confirm that the four hotel owners have attended the banquet!"
