The years when I explored the fairyland
Chapter 14 14: Taking Shelter
Iron gun martial arts hall,
In the living room.
Chu Zhou held the tea cup and silently filled the cup with tea leaves. His expression was serious and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Fan Zhong, on the other hand, stood behind him, bowing slightly and saying nothing.
After waiting for only a moment, Chu Zhou turned his head slightly and looked towards the gate, and saw a tall and high-spirited man walking quickly.
Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and a loud voice rang out in the hall: "Hahaha, I wonder why the sunshine is so good today, and the Taoist Priest is here to visit?
Rare guests, rare guests, poor hospitality, please forgive me! "
I have to say that although he is a martial artist, the man in front of him seems to have an all-round temperament.
But Chu Zhou couldn't ignore it. The fierce aura that hit his face seemed to make people's hair stand on end.
He paused for a moment, smiled and cupped his hands, and said, "I've met Master Wei. Please forgive me for coming uninvited!"
"You're welcome, take a seat, please take a seat, and serve tea!"
Wei Jinkui waved his hand, and a maid served tea again. After the guests and hosts took their seats, he got straight to the point and asked, "The Taoist priest is here, but do you have anything important to discuss?"
"nature!"
Chu Zhou responded like this, then looked around and asked, "Is it convenient to talk here?"
"This is an iron gun martial arts hall, it's okay!" Wei Jinkui smiled confidently: "Please tell me it's okay?"
"I really have something to ask for when I come here this time. Master, could you please take a look at this?"
Chu Zhou reached out and took out something from his arms and handed it over.
Wei Jinkui squinted slightly, but after just scanning it, his eyes widened.
"This is?"
"Five hundred acres of the finest paddy fields outside Baisha City!"
Wei Jinkui narrowed his eyes again, and there seemed to be light blooming in them: "What does the little Taoist priest mean?"
Chu Zhou smiled and said, "I remember that martial arts master Wei had the title of Juren, right?"
"Yes, in the 23rd year of Lingde's reign, he ranked fourth in the three martial arts rankings. But, what does this have to do with the field deed?"
"I heard that people in the military examinations have tax-free acres in their names?"
"Yes! But what does it have to do with this land deed?"
This was repeated for the second time. When he spoke again, Wei Jinkui's face looked a little ugly.
Because, regardless of whether it is a civil or military examination, as long as you have achieved fame, you will have corresponding tax-free acres, also known as tax-free land.
In other words, there is no need to pay taxes to the country on the output of this land, which is considered a benefit for gentlemen who have achieved fame.
From this, even if you were poor before you were successful, as long as you are successful, you can accumulate a lot of land under your name and become tax-free land.
It is normal and allowed to collect the imperial wool anywhere.
However, there is a limit to this kind of free land. For example, at the scholar level, there are only sixty acres, but at the judicial level, the maximum cannot exceed a thousand acres.
Therefore, this quota is very rare!
And for such a rare quota, you come here and just want it with the land deed?
Isn't this a joke?
It's no wonder that Wei Jinkui's face is not good-looking. You just want to get benefits by talking white teeth. How big of a face do you have? !
However, Chu Zhou looked calm and composed, and said: "What I think is that these five hundred acres of fine farmland should be under the name of Master Wei.
I, Xuanzhen Guan, can take 10% of the annual harvest, except for the share of the tenants, which is enough for us senior brothers to eat and drink.
The rest can be sent to the Iron Spear Martial Arts School. "
"Do you think my Iron Gun Martial Arts School is just a beggar? Wait, how much do you say..."
Wei Jinkui was about to get furious, but he seemed to suddenly react: "Little Taoist Priest, you just said, who gets the 10%?"
"I am Xuan Zhen Guan!"
"Then send the rest here to me?"
"yes!"
After glancing at the Tian deed on the table, Wei Jinkui felt calm.
Just because, where is the affiliation?
This is obviously giving money and food!
However, Wei Jinkui was a mature man after all. He paused slightly and did not rush to agree. Instead, he asked again: "As the saying goes, when you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something. I just don't know how much I, the Iron Spear Martial Arts School, have to pay. What?"
"Not much. I just hope that Master Wei can express some attitude to the outside world."
Chu Zhou looked directly into Wei Jinkui's eyes and said seriously: "My master has left, and Xuanzhen Temple has lost its protection. Just my two junior brothers and I, guarding this family business, are like those childish people walking through the bustling city with gold in their hands. Everyone who comes is coveted.
Of course you have to seek shelter!
The Iron Gun Martial Arts School is the most suitable one in my opinion. "
"Is that so?"
Wei Jinkui did not agree immediately, nor did he reject it. Instead, he put a big hand on the table, pointed at the table with his fingers, and made a "beep, beep, beep, beep" sound.
After a long cup of silence, he suddenly asked: "A big event has happened in Baisha City these days. Does anyone know about it?"
Chu Zhou didn't seem to hesitate at all: "Are you talking about the suicide of Xue Nu, the chief steward of the Xue Mansion?"
"Is it suicide?"
"If you tear your own neck, doesn't it count as suicide?"
"So, it wasn't you?"
"Of course, I did it!"
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhou admitted happily: "The Xue family wants to peel off my Xuan Zhen Guan and swallow it all, but they don't allow me to kill anyone?
Just targeting Xue Nu would have already left face for the county magistrate! "
"Haha, I don't think the county magistrate will like the way you save face for him."
Wei Jinkui seemed to be even more powerful as he said this. He stared at Chu Zhou and asked, "Since you have such means, why do you need my protection?"
"You have to have it, you have to have it!"
Chu Zhou was full of lies and opened his mouth: "If my master were here, of course I would be fearless, but I am not my master and I am still too young.
Moreover, you should know something about the secret technique. It can be used to save one's life, but it is not suitable for protecting one's body. "
"So, I have to seek an industry that matches my strength. If I have two or three shops to make a living, and I have enough Xuanzhen Guan to establish myself, that's it.
No matter how much, especially the top-grade acres that many people are thinking about, it is better to give them away as soon as possible. "
"So, I'm here, but I don't know if Master Wei is afraid of the Xue family?"
"Haha, don't try to provoke the general. I have eaten more salt than you have walked. This little trick is useless!"
Although he said this, Wei Jinkui still pointed his finger at the table, and the living room fell into silence amidst the sound of 'beep beep beep'.
After a long time, he raised his head again and said, "Answer my last question. If it's okay, I will accept your deal!"
"Please tell me?"
"What exactly is the secret technique left behind by Master Xuanzhen?"
Chu Zhou hesitated for a moment and then said: "In "The Art of Ghost Hunting," you can use secret techniques to imprison ghost ghosts who died from the mouths of hungry tigers, and then drive the ghost ghosts to kill people.
Although this method is beneficial, it also has major drawbacks. You must be prepared in advance when using it, otherwise it will harm others and yourself! "
"Is this the reason why Master Xuanzhen died unexpectedly?"
"Yes! The situation was critical at that time. The one-horned ghost was too fast. Even if the master wanted to use this "ghost-killing technique", he wouldn't be able to use it."
"I see!"
Wei Jinkui seemed to have solved his confusion, stood up and said: "In that case, I will take your order from the Iron Spear Martial Arts School."
Chu Zhou also stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Master."
"Now, is it inappropriate to call me like this?"
"Then thank you Uncle Wei."
"My dear nephew, don't worry. Since I agreed to this matter, I will protect you!"
"So good!"
…
When he arrived, Chu Zhou handed over a greeting card and waited for the host to speak before he could enter.
When leaving, Wei Jinkui, the owner of the Iron Spear Martial Arts Hall, personally walked to the door. The two parties exchanged greetings, saying that they were both "uncle" and "nephew", and it was so warm that it was like a show.
In fact, this is just a show!
When Chu Zhou boarded the carriage and gradually went away, Wei Jinkui did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood by the door and watched for a long time.
A figure quietly came closer, took a look, and then said: "I have seen Master Xuanzhen before when he visited me, and I didn't think there was any difference!
This time, I was surprised! "
"The little guy who can survive under the hands of the old Taoist Xuanzhen, how can the little guy be as simple as you see?"
After Wei Jinkui uttered this sentence, he asked again: "Do you think there is some truth or falsehood in his words?"
Wei Fangjie tilted his head and thought carefully for a moment, then said: "I think it must be at least 70% true! 70% true, 30% false, that's about it."
After a pause, he added: "It's true that I need the protection of my Iron Spear Martial Arts School. "The Art of Ghost Control" should be half truth and half false. As for controlling ghosts and killing people...,
It should be true! "
Wei Jinkui nodded slowly and said: "In any case, this little guy already has the capital to survive in Baisha City. I hope he will live better and better!"
"Then dad, how are you going to help him?"
"Make an appointment with the bookkeeper for me. The land deed of the five hundred acres still needs to be changed. Also, tell your mother that we will go outside the city tomorrow.
It’s been a long time since I went to offer incense to Emperor Zhenwu. We went there for three days in a row. "
"Ah, do you want to go for three days in a row?"
"When you take someone's land, you always have to do it beautifully." Wei Jinkui glanced sideways and said, "You will follow me these days!"
"What am I going to do?"
"Go and have more contact with that little Taoist priest. Even if you can't get any useful information, it's still a good idea to be more cautious."
…
Inside the carriage.
Chu Zhou sat slumped there regardless of his appearance, rubbing his eyebrows with his hands to relieve fatigue.
Although they only exchanged a few words, when they were actually spoken, they were sharp and sharp. There was no room for carelessness and the energy consumed was huge.
On the side, Fan Zhong hesitated for a long time and finally spoke: "Master, do we really have to do this?"
"Are you feeling sorry for those five hundred acres of land?"
"That's a total of five hundred acres of high-quality paddy field. The old master used a lot of tricks to do it. To give it away like this is really..."
Fan Zhong couldn't say any more, he was really distressed, but Chu Zhou opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Just for the stability of our Xuanzhen Temple, even if it is just temporary stability, it is all worth it!"
"Besides, the things thrown out are just thrown out. If we are strong enough, one day they will be sent back obediently!"
Two updates are sent, please read...
