Chapter 39 Today's Consumption, I'll Pay the Bill

The next day, early morning.

As soon as he walked out of the martial arts gym, he saw Douhua Lu and was very surprised. After all, Douhua Lu disappeared after the trip to Yihongyuan, and was immersed in the tenderness of women. Now he appeared, and his martial arts gym had moved to a new location. He didn't expect him to come along.

[Earn money well, Jinhua is still waiting for me (0/1), reward white wish point*1]

Good guy.

It was just as he thought. He had spent all his money and had no choice but to set up the stall.

"Old Lu, long time no see." Lin Fan took the initiative to greet Douhua Lu. The older Douhua Lu looked much thinner than before, with sunken cheeks, as if he had been sucked of his energy by some monster. Even his eyes had become cloudy.

This is because women are harmful to your health.

We have only heard of cows being worked to death, but have never heard of the land being damaged by plowing. The more the land is plowed, the better it will be. The soil will become soft and loose, making it easier to farm next time.

"Alas." Douhua Lu sighed helplessly, "Don't mention it. I regret it now. Women hurt people. That place is a money-sucking den. I shouldn't have gone there in the first place. I spent all the money I worked so hard to earn. I'd better sell tofu pudding honestly in the future."

Speaking of this incident, Douhua Lu's face was filled with pain and regret.

If I hadn't been able to see his wish, I would really have believed his lies.

Jinhua should be the tank girl. No customer was willing to order it. Only Douhua Lu liked it the most. Thinking of this, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and put it on the stall.

"Give me a bowl of tofu pudding, and give each of my martial arts apprentices a bowl, and don't give me the change for the rest." Lin Fan waved his hand with great generosity. He is now a completely different person, and these silver coins are just a drop in the bucket.

"Thank you, Master Lin. Master Lin is so generous." Douhua Lu was very happy.

[Get white wish point +1]

It is so simple to fulfill the simple wishes of others. Helping others is helping yourself.

"drive……"

"Get away, get away."

A roar was heard, and not far away, a young man in rich clothes was seen riding a horse and rushing through the streets, shocking the people.

Lin Fan frowned, very dissatisfied with this arrogant behavior. This was a walking route, not a riding route. Douhua Lu hurriedly walked out from behind the stall and pulled him aside. The horse swept past him quickly with the wind.

"Master Lin, he is Lei Hong, the son of Master Lei of Juli Martial Arts School." Douhua Lu reminded without saying much. He knew that Lin Fan had a very high status and position now, but some people were also not easy to provoke, otherwise it would easily bring trouble to oneself.

"Oh."

Lin Fan's eyes sparkled. This was the Juli Martial Arts School, one of the three lower schools. Although this man was only the son of the master, he was powerful enough to walk all over Ankang County.

"gone."

Get out of here.

……

At the Kongming Martial Arts School, two stone lions were placed at the entrance, looking very majestic. Two disciples stood at the entrance with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.

"You, what do you want to do?"

With the appearance of Lin Fan, the two disciples were obviously frightened.

They naturally recognized who the man in front of them was. It was Lin Fan, the owner of the Lin family martial arts school. Their senior brother Liang Song was still lying dead at home.

Who is the culprit?

It's this guy in front of me.

"I'm looking for your owner." Lin Fan said.

The fear shown by the two gatekeeper disciples made him very satisfied, as it proved that he had indeed gained some prestige during this period of time.

in the living room.

The atmosphere was depressing. Lin Fan and Bai Canghai sat there drinking tea. All the disciples in the courtyard stopped practicing and stood there, as if waiting for the master's order so that they could rush in and kill them on the spot.

"Master Bai, I came here uninvited because I have something to ask you." Lin Fan held the teacup, took a sip of tea, and slowly put it down. "Zhang Shan and I were on a mission and were ambushed by a killer. The killer claimed that Master Bai had ordered it. What do you think about this?"

After saying this, Lin Fan smiled and looked at Bai Canghai calmly.

Hearing this, Bai Canghai stood up suddenly and said, "Master Lin, I have never done this. Although there is a conflict between you and me, this conflict has been exposed. I am not willing to send assassins."

"Besides, Bai is not so stupid as to reveal his identity before the task is completed. Someone must have framed him for this."

Lin Fan didn't say anything, but stared at Bai Canghai.

This made Bai Canghai a little anxious.

"Master Lin, I act in an upright manner. I don't care about this kind of thing."

Lin Fan still didn't say anything and just watched quietly.

Such an attitude and such a look made Bai Canghai very anxious.

really.

Once a wish comes up, people have to push themselves to make it come true.

"Master Bai, I believe you. Since I can find you in person, I believe it was not you who did it. But who do you think did it?" Lin Fan said slowly.

The wish is fulfilled, and a little white wish is obtained.

Bai Canghai paced back and forth, lowering his brows in deep thought, then suddenly raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Pang Haichao, it must be Pang Haichao who framed me. The Three Martial Arts Hall was competing for the position of external manager. He knew that I had a conflict with you, so he wanted to kill with a borrowed knife and provoke a conflict between you and me. It must be like this, it must be like this."

Lin Fan smiled, it seemed that Bai Canghai was not stupid.

But think about it, Bai Canghai was able to gain a foothold in Ankang County. If he didn't have a flexible mind, how could he have survived until now?

Lin Fan stood up and walked out of the hall. "Master Bai, I know it wasn't you who did it. I came here to say something. Some things can be argued openly. Winning or losing depends entirely on your ability. As for doing things behind the scenes, that's really despicable."

"Thank you, Master Lin, for your trust. I know." Bai Canghai clasped his fists and saw Lin Fan out.

The disciples in the courtyard saw that the master was polite to Lin Fan and tilted their heads, very confused. What was going on? Didn’t our martial arts school have a conflict with the Lin’s martial arts school?

Why does the owner seem to be polite to the other party?

Only children talk about right and wrong, adults only talk about interests.

After Lin Fan left, Bai Canghai clenched his fists, his face was covered with frost, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

"Pang Haichao, how dare you frame me." It was nothing to attack the owner of an affiliated martial arts hall outside Ankang County, but Zhang Shan was an elite disciple. If he killed the main hall disciple, it would be useless even if he was the owner of an affiliated martial arts hall.

Pang Haichao knew that he had a conflict with Lin Fan and wanted to take advantage of it.

But now, there is no way he would give Pang Haichao this opportunity.

……

Mingxiang Teahouse.

This was the property that Ma Sandao lost to him. It had never been here since he acquired it. Now that it appeared, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to greet it respectfully.

"Master Lin, you are here."

The shopkeeper is in his fifties and life has left many traces on his face. He doesn't care who owns the teahouse, as long as he remains the shopkeeper.

"Well, serve some tea. I'll take a break."

He strolled outside every day in order to fulfill his wishes and see the scenery of Ankang County. The more places he went, the more things he saw.

The shopkeeper said, "Master Lin, Master Lei's son Lei Hong is drinking tea with his friends in the attic, and it's a bit noisy. Can we arrange for you to move to a separate room so it's quieter?"

"No, just the attic."

"Okay, Master Lin."

When Lin Fan arrived, he saw the familiar horse.

I didn't expect it to be true.

However, he did not come here to cause trouble, but to see the wishes of the upper class people in Ankang County. Even if their wishes could not be fulfilled, the information revealed was still very valuable.

For example, the deputy owner we saw earlier, he wanted to kill the owner.

Want to take over Changying Martial Arts School.

If I didn't know this, I would have thought that the deputy director and the director had a good relationship.

He did not let the shopkeeper send him up, but went alone. After all, the shopkeeper serving respectfully by his side was quite conspicuous and would easily attract attention.

Before reaching the second floor, I could already hear the light sounds of opera. Teahouses are like this, either storytelling or women singing opera to add to the atmosphere, just like a modern bar.

Of course, mixed with the sounds of drama upstairs was the noise of a group of people laughing and making noises.

I went upstairs and sat down by the railing when no one was paying attention.

His eyes were fixed on Lei Hong, a handsome man with a cheerful expression on his face as he spoke. The group of people surrounding him were also well-dressed and came from good families.

"Well, I will tell you about the things in the martial arts world. Are you eager to listen?" Lei Hong relied on his father being the head of a martial arts hall, so the information he knew was naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The young men around nodded frantically.

Apart from doing nothing, their favorite thing to do is to listen to what goes on in the underworld.

Lei Hong took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "You are lucky to know me. Let me tell you something. Recently, there was a fierce battle between Shanhe Martial Arts School and Huitong Martial Arts School in Shangsanmen, and many people died."

"what?"

"It is true."

Everyone was shocked.

Even Lin Fan frowned slightly when he heard it.

Shanhe Martial Arts School was responsible for water transport, and Huitong Martial Arts School was responsible for salt and iron.

Aren’t there people in the six sects who are in touch with each other? How could there be a fight?
Could it be that the harmony is only on the surface, and there are endless fights in secret?

Lei Hong smiled and said, "It must be true. How could it be false? Shouldn't the grain transport and salt and iron be transported out through the Huitong River?"

"Yes."

"That's right. The salt and iron of Huitong Martial Arts School must be shipped out by ship, and Shanhe Martial Arts School controls the ship. If you want to ship, you have to pay silver. This will cause problems over time. Why doesn't Huitong Martial Arts School deserve its own ship? Why must it use Shanhe Martial Arts School's ship? So, this conflict broke out."

Lei Hong talked incessantly.

Lin Fan, who was sitting alone, listened carefully and analyzed in his mind that it was not surprising that such a thing happened. It seems that the water in Liumen, Ankang County is deeper and not as simple as he had thought before.

No one would complain about having a large territory.

The fight must have been going on for a long time.

It’s just that the surface appearance is done so well that ordinary people think that the six sects are really united.

Just when he was thinking about this.

A voice came.

"Are you the headmaster of Lin's martial arts school?"

Lin Fan looked up and saw Lei Hong standing up and walking towards him, clasping his fists and asking.

"Mr. Lei, it is indeed me." Lin Fan said.

"Master Lin, do you know who I am?"

"Of course I know. I have long heard of Mr. Lei's great name."

No conflicts broke out. Lin Fan kept saying nice things to everyone and was sure to make the other person happy and beaming.

"Oh, this is just an empty reputation, an empty reputation." Lei Hong waved his hands quickly, but in fact, he was very happy inside, and continued: "My reputation is nothing. If there is anyone who is powerful, it has to be Master Lin. I have heard of Master Lin's name a long time ago, but I have never had the chance to meet him. Now that we meet, it is really fate."

"Haha, Mr. Lei, please take a seat." Lin Fan said with a smile.

Lei Hong was in a very good mood and waved his hand towards everyone.

"Today, I am meeting with Master Lin. I am in a good mood. I will pay for all the expenses. Eat and drink as much as you want."

Lin Fan looked at his aura.

Do not know why.

I actually felt that the other person exuded such a strong villain aura.
