Transmigration with Cheat Codes - Chapter 125

[126. Chapter 126]

Yunzhou is geographically closer to the Central Plains, and has a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. It should have been a popular place for people in the world to stay. Apart from Wanbao Tower and Wanjia, there were originally many places here. Small and medium-sized forces have gradually declined in recent years. What is particularly concerning is that the decline of these sects is not due to any major conflicts, but quietly disappeared.

This silent suppression is more terrifying than hostility with open swords and guns.

After Meng Jintang made the announcement, he bought some cooked food on the street and met a group of people from six doors who went door to door to collect “safety donations”.

——Pingcang City Liumen’s business is quite extensive. Meng Jintang recalled that these people were traveling together in Yezhou, but he didn’t find anything that had a strong sense of presence.

The so-called “safety donation” is nominally a security deposit paid by outsiders during their stay in Yunzhou. Since people who practice martial arts are more likely to cause trouble, in order to alleviate the problems they bring to public security Pressure, so you need to pay an additional fee, and because the employment scope of Jianghu people is relatively wide, so when it is impossible to determine whether an outsider is a Jianghu person, he will be treated as if he is a Jianghu person.

At the same time, Pingcang City Six Gates also stated that the money was only temporarily deposited in the government office. After one year, if the person involved has not committed any crime, the original amount of the peace donation paid will be returned, indicating that it has not been used. People are cheap.

Meng Jintang couldn’t help but pause – not to mention that one year is a long time, and it is still unclear whether it will be repaid in the end. Even if it is true as these people said, if the money is repaid according to the original amount after one year, the interest during that period will not be enough. You can make a lot of money.

These people dare to say this because they either lack financial common sense, or they think they lack financial common sense in order to be charged “safety donations.”

Most of the six gates were warriors, and their hands and feet were very nimble when doing daily tasks, and they were particularly quick to collect money. They soon arrived in front of Meng Jintang – beside her, the porter was charged fifty cents. But when it was her turn, the other party’s offer was ten taels of silver.

Meng Jintang showed a trace of confusion: “Why did it suddenly become twelve?”

The visitor gave her a cold look: “You are young, you are naturally full of energy, and you are carrying a knife, so it is more dangerous over there. If you don’t want to pay, you can either call someone immediately or hand it over. Wearing weapons, we are not incapable of being accommodating.”

I understand, the amount of the charge is based on the degree of threat‌.

Meng Jintang paused after hearing this and said: “Since it’s just a temporary deposit, it doesn’t hurt to pay, but I’m shy in my pocket…”

The visitor pointed to the street and told her that if she didn’t have enough money on hand to pay, she could go to the bank over there to borrow money. As long as she put in the mortgage, she could get the loan immediately, and it only cost three dollars. For profit sharing, even if there is no mortgage, as long as the person borrowing money has martial arts skills, he can quickly obtain funds through special channels in the bank – to pay off the debt through labor.

Meng Jintang was a little surprised that Pingcang City actually provided loan services before she arrived. However, she had never been in the habit of spending money in advance. When she found that the price was not lowered, she paid directly.

The visitor glanced at her and said deliberately: “Didn’t you say that you are short of money?”

Meng Jintang: “Yes, after paying this money, I still don’t know where the food money will be tomorrow.”

This gentleman in six-door clothing had a mission. He made a few sarcastic remarks, then said no more. He picked up a pen and opened a note to collect ten taels of notes, and then prepared to take the money.

At this moment, Meng Jintang suddenly stretched out his hand to hold down the small silver ingot on the table, raised his eyes, and said slowly: “I see that there is something wrong with the seal on the note.”

The man from the Six Gates immediately raised his eyebrows: “What’s wrong? You don’t want to deliberately look for trouble!”

Meng Jintang: “Why is it not the seal of the six gates on the note, but the seal of Master Xiaozhu?”

“What about Mr. Xiaozhu’s seal?”

Meng Jintang: “Since it is said that the amount will be returned in full after one year, then if Mr. Xiaozhu no longer works here after one year, won’t the note become invalid? Or is it more confusing to use a six-door seal? Peace of mind.”

When the people from the six gates heard this, their expressions darkened, and they immediately drew their swords in their hands and said sternly: “What do you mean by this? Why did you suddenly curse Master Xiaozhu?”

Meng Jintang said: “Brother, what you said is true. It would be a curse not to serve here. Can’t you, Xiaozhu, be promoted suddenly?”

When she was speaking, the sleeves of the man in front of the six doors suddenly twitched, and he flicked forward slightly like an iron fan. But halfway through, he suddenly froze. The man’s shoulders shook, as if he was being caught. As if he was whipped in front of his face, he immediately took half a step back.

——The Six Gates of Pingcang City are powerful, but not everyone is a master. Among them, the martial arts are mediocre. On the contrary, they account for the majority. For example, this person, although he has also learned some kung fu, his internal skills are mediocre, and he has mediocre internal skills. Those who have only practiced “Basic Internal Skills” are about the same. It is not difficult to deal with ordinary people, but when facing real heroes, they often can only use one move.

His martial arts skills are so ordinary, and he should not be so rash when working outside on weekdays. However, in recent years, few people have the courage to cause trouble in Pingcang City, and his words and deeds are full of arrogance.

This person just quietly made a move, intending to inflict some pain on the young man in white clothes in front of him, but before his palm fell on the opponent, he felt that his wrist was numb and weak, and he had to stop the attack immediately, and the true energy in the meridians rushed back. , a heavy feeling suddenly came from his chest.

——This young man used no internal strength when resisting, but his vision was quite accurate, and he happened to catch his own moves that were weak and almost like a small grapple.

In fact, this person’s guess was quite correct. The moves used by Meng Jintang evolved from the “Splitting Wave Palm”, which is surrounded by water chestnuts. It is indeed quite similar to the small grappler.

“Splitting Waves Palm” is not a high-level martial arts, even if the people in the six gates are surprised, the man in dark official uniform has a condensed expression, and finally carefully looks at the young man in white with a sword in front of him – because Meng Jintang only slightly disguised it, so it can still be concluded that his character is tall and elegant, elegant and graceful. He is three-quarters like a knight, but seven-quarters like a Confucian.

After all, the people in the six doors knew the importance. Now that the arrogance was gone, the agility came back. The visitor stared at Meng Jintang and asked in a deep voice: “May I ask what your name is?”

Meng Jintang: “You can call me ‘Qiu Lu Bai’.”

——Not “My name is Qiu Lubai”, but “My name is Qiu Lubai”.

This person has never heard of a rising star in any sect called Qiu Lubai. The young man in front of him is most likely a lone traveler, but it is not ruled out that he is someone who has been practicing behind closed doors for many years and has only recently set foot in the world. ‌Disciples of the sect.

There were many small vendors doing business around, but while they were talking, they quietly closed their stalls and hid, as if they didn’t dare to cause trouble and were careful.

The visitor didn’t notice the difference in Meng Jintang’s words, and said coldly: “Okay, okay, I’ll take it down.” He then asked, “I wonder who your master is? What are you doing in Pingcang City?”

Meng Jintang: “It’s just a temporary interest, just casually going out for a walk.”

Seeing her unwillingness to say anything, the people in the six doors snorted coldly, and instead of continuing to collect money, they directly collected the team members.

——When you can’t figure out the depth, you stay dormant for a while. The person in front of you doesn’t seem to be able to swallow your anger. Meng Jintang feels that the other person’s current style is probably learned from that master Xiaozhu.

When these people’s backs disappeared at the street corner, Meng Jintang clearly heard the sound of many people reciting Buddha’s breath and chanting in relief.

She originally planned to buy some more food here, but the nearby vendors witnessed the conflict between Meng Jintang and the people in the six gates. After the scene, they hesitantly shied away, and everyone said that they didn’t have anything. Well, it’s not worthy of being sold to a martial arts hero.

Meng Jintang knew in his heart that these people were afraid that the people from the Six Gates would come back and cause trouble, so they did not dare to make any mistakes with him.

A thought flashed through her mind – the few reckless men just now were just subordinates of Lord Zhu Zhu, but they could actually achieve such power.

Martial arts masters often rely on their own status and are unwilling to embarrass people without martial arts skills. If they are Taoist people, they are even less likely to fight with others just because the other party refuses to do what they want.

No one at Six Gates explicitly instructs the merchants not to do business with people they don’t like, so it’s natural for the heroes to come and cause trouble. In the end, they often have to retreat in despair because of the loss of their food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

These are all common methods of running on stocks.

Meng Jintang did not insist on buying wine and food in Pingcang City – at last Xiaozhu was lucky, she just sold wine and food in the shopping mall. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the city. At the bottom of the plaques of many restaurants, there is a small “Wan” character representing Wanbao Tower.

The Wan family of Wanbaolou comes from Yunzhou, and they are a martial arts family. No matter how powerful the Zhu brothers are, they will not conflict with the Wan family. The Wan family has its own name, and it is impossible to challenge the small officials in the six gates. Lower your head.

Now that he has an alternative plan, Meng Jintang will not immediately go across the house to talk to Mr. Xiaozhu just because he can’t buy anything.

Pingcang City is full of people, and the shouts of hawkers are coming and going. As far as the eye can see, it is a prosperous scene – Wanbao Tower Wanjia is in Yunzhou, where… Although there is a harsh government, but Wanjia is here, life is peaceful It’s always passable.

Meng Jintang has learned that in addition to Taoist sects, there are also evil forces stationed near Pingcang City, called Red Scorpion Village, which is currently located in the rolling mountains outside the city.

Yunzhou has a pleasant climate and always has good weather, which will inevitably attract some bandits. In addition, the terrain in the mountains and forests is complex. No matter how many capable men the Zhu brothers have, they cannot always send people and cats in the mountains to carefully watch the bandits‌ Towards.

On the government side, some tasks were also announced to suppress bandits. When Meng Jintang passed by, he briefly learned about it and found that Master Xiao Zhu had actually started to suppress bandits not long after he took office, but he had never been able to eradicate them.

The sun shines on her eyelashes, like a hazy light condensed on them.

Meng Jintang gave a slight click.

‌If this six-door consul’s ‌ methods were serious, how could he have delayed it until now? I am afraid that issuing this mission will weaken the local political power in some way. The meaning is, And when the surrounding martial arts sects became increasingly declining, Zhu Xiangwen asked people to eradicate the bandits’ strongholds again, and no one in the Jianghu was willing to sincerely serve him. I’m afraid I’ll be looked down upon and taken advantage of.

It’s really useless.

“…It’s really useless.”

A young voice sounded next to Meng Jintang – if it weren’t for the different tone and direction of the words, she would have almost thought that she said these words herself.[End of this Chapter.]
