Song State, Jiangning Prefecture, Qiantang County.

It was already dark, but the moon tonight was very round and bright. Under the bright moonlight, the beautiful scenery of Qiantang County was displayed under the moonlight.

The anger was surging, and the ground was about to float by the Luosha River.

The journey of the road contains great faith, and we also know that it will flow repeatedly.

No matter how much he throws the giants, he is undoubtedly at the bottom, and only has the head to pass Xiling.

When he was in charge of the morning, he wanted to ride a carp and ask Yang Hou.

Qiantang County in modern society is under the jurisdiction of Yuhang County and is the most famous place to watch the tide in China. Countless literati and poets have left their masterpieces here. Even Taizu of China also wrote a bold and powerful Kwun Tong poem.

Of course, this is a world of fairy tales and cannot be ignored.

Qiantang County not only has Qiantang River, but also many other beautiful places, such as the famous West Lake, etc.

By the Qiantang River, Li Gongfu, the county yamen runner, walked quickly with a torch. He was both happy and nervous.

He has been an official in the county government office in Qiantang River for more than ten years. Because it has nothing to do with him, he is still at the level of an official and cannot touch the officials.

But tonight was different, he felt that the opportunity had come.

This evening, the county master summoned him and said that he had received a secret report that it was a thief Yizhimei who would gather in the Bingui in Qiantang County tonight and discuss the issue of territorial division with other thieves.

The State of Song is located in the southeast of the mainland. With less than twenty miles east of Qiantang County, it is a vast ocean with countless islands distributed on the sea, and there are pirates on the island.

Therefore, the maritime trade of the State of Song was very developed, and its domestic goods were sold by sea to other countries, with the most developed economy.

Of course, there are pirates when there is maritime trade.

On the east coast, there is a mysterious species, Pirates!

Pirates did not emerge from the Song Dynasty. If you have to ask the bottom line, you can only say that there are them all around the world!

The so-called battle wherever there is profit!

Pirates make a living by intercepting merchant ships.

A gentle pirate who wants to do long-term business takes a commission, that is, draws money from businessmen.

A more cruel pirate is just a business, killing people and robbing people, and killing them.

They either occupy islands as dens or swim back and forth on the coastline with large ships, making it extremely difficult for officers and soldiers to clear them.

There are dozens of pirates near the waters of Qinghai County. They are not subordinate to each other and do their own affairs. They often fight with each other because of unclear territory.

However, two years ago, a thief appeared on the sea. The name on the road was Yizhimei. This man used his powerful force to suppress most of the maritime forces.

However, there are still some larger pirate forces who are unwilling to obey him and are facing him in a tit-for-tat way.

Today, the pirates gathered in Qiantang County to divide the territory and divide the numbers into the Chou Yin and Mao.

But why did they come to Qiantang County to have a party instead of going to another county town to have a party?

Do they have any secrets or conspiracies?

However, the Qiantang County Magistrate did not find out all these.

However, this is enough to allow the county magistrate to take a big risk to encircle and suppress these pirates.

After all, you must not miss the opportunity, and you will never come again!

Speaking of which, this county magistrate is also a pitiful person. Without the support of the backstage force, if he does not make great contributions in his life, becoming a seventh-rank county magistrate has ended and it will be difficult to be promoted again.

However, now that the arrival of this pirate Yizhimei is giving him a little chance.

Although this opportunity is very slim, the county magistrate seizes it firmly and does not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

For Li Gongfu, although he also wanted to make contributions, he knew that there were only a dozen constables in Qiantang County, plus dozens of temporary yamen runners, and a total of only a hundred people were found.

Moreover, most of them have never seen blood, so they usually bully the common people, so why do they fight with the desperate people at sea?

However, this opportunity belongs not only to the county magistrate, but also to him, Li Gongfu, and he did not want to miss this opportunity.

So, he thought of his wife's brother Xu Xian.

Not bad, it is his brother-in-law, Xu Hanwen.

Li Gongfu was extremely proud of his brother-in-law when he said that he was here.

When Li Gongfu met Xu Hanwen, Xu Hanwen was only over 8 years old. At that time, he didn't work hard in school and was naughty, but he was so worried about his sister Xu Jiaorong.

Xu Jiaorong and Xu Hanwen both died since childhood, and their parents had no car or house. Sister Xu Jiaorong worked hard to pull Xu Hanwen up.

Later, after Xu Jiaorong married Li Gongfu, this brother-in-law was raised and taken care of by Li Gongfu.

When Xu Hanwen grew up, he gradually became sensible. He knew his sister's hard work, worked hard and studied hard.

However, unfortunately, he is not talented and is not a good source of study.

During that time, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong were worried about this brother-in-law.

Turning around, three years ago.

That year, Xu Xian was thirteen years old, which was the time when his body began to develop and also the year he dropped out of a private school.

I have been studying in a private school for seven or eight years, but I haven’t even memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone the students who took the provincial examination. Why are they still keeping them if they don’t go home? Are you waiting for the husband to sweep the floor and go out?

That year, a young Taoist with fairy spirit came to Qiantang County and built a Taoist temple on a hillside in the eastern suburbs outside the county, called Qingxu Temple...Finguan.

This is not the point!

The point is that this Taoist temple posted a notice to recruit several Taoist children aged 10-14, including food and accommodation, with a monthly salary of 1 tael of silver, and four days off a month. Not only during holidays during festivals, but also holiday gifts are distributed.

Where can I find such a good thing?

You should know that the total income of an ordinary family of four is about 7-8 taels per year. After deducting the expenses, it is already very good to save 3 taels.

Now, a young man and a half can receive a monthly salary of 12 taels of silver a year!

The entire Qiantang County was in sensation. Even the surrounding counties received rumors, and they took their children to the foot of the mountain, waiting for the selection of the Qingxu Temple Master.

Even Xu Jiaorong was no exception. He ordered Li Gongfu to take Xu Hanwen to queue up early in the morning.

Finally, unexpectedly, Xu Hanwen was actually selected.

After some tests, a total of four teenagers, including Xu Hanwen, were selected.

Now three years have passed, the little kids have grown into handsome boys, and their food is much better than at home, and they are all more than seven feet tall.

Not only that, they also learned a good martial arts.

Thinking of this, Li Gongfu accelerated his pace.

After returning home, Li Gongfu didn't even have time to take a sip of water. After talking to his wife, he came to the west wing and knocked on the door.

A response came from the room: "Who is it? The door is not locked!"

"Squeak!"

Pushing the door open, Li Gongfu, holding a Park knife, walked in. He was not polite and poured himself a cup of tea when he entered the door.

But it is true, you don’t need to be polite with your brother-in-law.

But I saw a handsome young man in Taoist robe sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed and his body was steaming, which looked like the truth of Taoism.

Seeing this, Li Gongfu couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said with envy: "Hanwen, you are practicing internal skills. The master of the Guan is so nice to you. He doesn't care about food and accommodation, but also teaches you martial arts. If I were a few years younger, I would probably want to become a monk and become a Taoist priest."

When the boy heard the sound, he couldn't help but stop and stood up, greeting: "Brother-in-law, you are back!"

After getting off the bed and sitting at the table, the young man Xu Xian curled his lips and said, "But, don't let my sister hear this, otherwise she will be sad!"

"Haha, I just said it casually, don't tell your sister."

Li Gongfu scratched his head and said with an awkward smile.

For some reason, when facing this brother-in-law, he felt a little guilty, as if facing those high-ranking officials.

Of course Xu Xian would not keep this matter away. He changed the subject and asked, "It's so late, brother-in-law, what's wrong with you coming to me?"

"Well, this, Chinese, my brother-in-law asks you, how is your martial arts? I have no idea, and I don't dare to tell you some things."

Li Gongfu put down his Pu Dao and said hesitantly.

In fact, he made the decision to ask his wife's brother to help him after a hot head. It was just right. Xu Hanwen took a vacation these days, went down the mountain, and went home.

Besides, the county master has decided to take this credit.

Therefore, Li Gongfu had no choice but to be forced to do so. Even if he didn't want to be promoted, he had to listen to the county magistrate honestly, otherwise, he would just wait to wear his shoes!

But now he couldn't say anything at all.

After all, although he knew in the past that this brother-in-law had learned martial arts, he was also very skilled.

However, how powerful is, I have no idea.

If this brother-in-law followed him to suppress the bandits but suffered a little injury, how should he explain to his wife?

After hearing Li Gongfu's words, Xu Hanwen was confused and confused. He thought for a while and said, "You are skilled...why? I am now in the state of success. If I deal with ordinary people, it is no problem to fight one hundred!"

Then, he asked again: "Brother-in-law, why are you asking this?"

When Li Gongfu heard this, he looked shaking and said, "Chinese is true or false? Don't talk big!"
