There are many thunderstorms in summer, and the sky is still clear in the morning. After noon, the sky gradually darkens, with dark clouds, and the wind is mixed with the warm and rustic wind, mixed with a fishy smell.\\9vk.com first release\\At first glance
A big thunderstorm is about to fall.
Min Zhanlian stood in the yard with his hands behind his hands, staring at the rolling black clouds and the faint flashing lightning in the sky. He seemed to be thinking about something. Three black figures came quietly behind him.
"Say it."
"My subordinates have found out that Taoist Zhang lives in Dadianzhuang Village."
"The banker is a local gentry, and the head of the family is Zhuang Qian, who has just returned to his hometown after serving as an official in Beijing."
"Taoist Zhang went to treat Zhuang Qian's illness. Now Zhuang Qian's illness has been mostly cured, but he has been living with his apprentice at the banker's house in the name of needing recuperation."
"The banker treats him with great courtesy, and Taoist Zhang is also very popular in the banker. Everyone from top to bottom calls him a living god. He seems to have plans to live in the banker for a long time."
Min Zhanlian listened silently, and finally asked: "We want to go in and kill people, can we do it?"
All three people answered in unison: "It can't be done."
"Dadianzhuang is a small town."
"There are more than 300 village warriors in the village and four teachers, all of whom are good with guns, sticks, bows and arrows."
"To enter the banker's house, you have to pass through a double fence, and each route is guarded by local warriors and servants. They are guarded day and night, and they are extremely strict."
It would not be difficult for Min Zhanlian if he just sneaked into the other party's mansion to kill people. However, since the other party was surrounded by a rural tycoon, it was much more difficult to enter than ordinary mansions - even the mansions of high-ranking officials and wealthy gentry.
Already.
The so-called mansion is just that the walls are higher, the room is larger, and the defense force is relatively weak. Except for a few guards patrolling the courtyard, they are nothing more than watchmen working along the courtyard wall. With Min Zhanlian's ability, he subdued
Or it is not difficult to avoid several nurses and watchmen.
However, Tuweizi is actually a city in disguise - no matter how high the level of martial arts masters are, they will be disappointed once the city gate is closed. Although Min Zhanlian is young, he has been around the world for many years. No matter how big a figure you are in the world, you will never be a big person.
During the day, they openly fought with swords in the city. As for the so-called "expert" thieves, they were a step too slow when running away. The city gate was closed and they were blocked in the city, thus falling into the hands of the officers and soldiers.
At night, the gates of Tuweizi are closed, lanterns and torches are lit on the fence, and there are groups of village warriors patrolling. It is difficult to find opportunities to subdue people secretly, and even extremely skilled snitches may not be able to sneak in smoothly.&*.

Three hundred rural warriors who regularly practice, all use long spears and hard bows. Once something strange is discovered, both sides will take action, not to mention Min Zhanlian and his men, but also the most famous "heroes" and "devils" in the martial arts world.
Called into battle, he may not be a match for the local warriors.
Of course, if you insist on doing it, it's not impossible, but it's likely that a few people will die.
Min Zhanlian knew his men very well. Like him, they always put caution first in everything they do - killing people is for money, and it is useless to make more money if a person dies.
Min Zhanlian thought deeply, this matter is really difficult to handle.
Of course, there is no way to do it. The simplest one is to ask someone to deliver a message saying that a wealthy family in the city is seriously ill and wants him to come for treatment. He can be intercepted and killed on the way.
The problem is that this means it lacks the meaning of "God's punishment". Min Zhanlian thought of several ways to send Pirate Quanzi on the road, but none of them could be implemented on the road.
To kill him like this is not in line with the customer's requirements, it is a small matter for less money, and it will be a big blow to his reputation.
"I want more detailed information. Where he lives, what his environment is like, when he gets up and when he goes to bed, what items he carries with him..."
"This subordinate cannot handle this matter."
"Oh," Min Zhanlian was stunned. His three eyes and ears had been working together for many years, and he rarely heard them say "it can't be done." "Why?"
"No strangers are allowed in the big shop. A person from the shop must be the guarantor when entering the shop. If you stay overnight in the shop, three households must jointly guarantee it."
Because there have been constant natural disasters in the Lunan area in the past decade or so, every village has a strong sense of vigilance, and the security measures are much tighter than those in prefectures and counties.
The information they have gathered so far has all been obtained on the streets outside the village. It is difficult to get specific details about the bookmakers inside the big store.
If you want to enter a big store, whether you go in openly or sneak in secretly, it is very difficult for the eyes and ears because they don't have inside information - they don't even know where the store's door opens.
"You go ahead and continue to inquire about the news."
"Yes!" The three black figures suddenly disappeared from under the eaves.
Min Zhanlian was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I didn't draw any talisman, but I shouted the urgent order like a law. Why are you here?"
"I'm not a brat - looking at how helpless you are, how could I not come?" A delicate voice echoed in the yard, mixed with the rolling thunder and wind in the sky, making it look indescribably weird.
Min Zhanlian said: "You have posed a problem for us." He smiled bitterly and said, "Bullying our top students."
"This matter is not easy for me." The girl's voice seemed to be spinning in the yard, making him unable to find his footing. Min Zhanlian suddenly became alert, although he knew that the other party was just showing off, and was not necessarily interested in himself.
If he has any unfavorable intentions, he still exerts a little force in his hand, ready to draw the sword at any time.
"Don't be nervous." The giggle sounded again, "This religion has a lot to rely on you..."
Zhang Yingchen glanced at the yard outside the window. Ming Qing and his two young apprentices were collecting herbs to be dried in the yard. There was a smell of an impending rainstorm in the air. From far and near, he heard someone calling from time to time: "It's going to rain."
It’s raining, please close the curtains quickly,” and “pack your things” sounds.
He touched his satchel and walked into the courtyard. He called Ming and Qing:
"Master, I'm going to go to the upper room to take Mr. Zhuang's pulse. You can take your fellow disciples and pack your things and go into the house. Don't run around!" After telling him, he walked up the corridor to the upper room.
Since arriving at Dadianzhuang, he felt much more at ease, and at least he could sleep more soundly at night. However, he was not completely at ease, and he still made some emergency preparations with the things at hand.
When Zhang Yingchen came to Lunan, he also brought an emergency supply, which was made standard after many reviews. A small nylon waterproof bag contains the spare ammunition for the pistol: 1 magazine, 24 rounds of ammunition,
1 offensive grenade, 2 high-yield hand-launched flares, 1 "energy potion" extracted from coca leaves and 1 waterproof medicine box the size of a cigarette box. It contains penicillin v potassium tablets, norfloxacin, and benzene.
Lamin, acetaminophen, acetaminophen, domperidone, potassium permanganate, gauze, band-aid, scalpel, needle and thread. In the interlayer of the nylon bag, there is also a gold leaf as an emergency expense.
The small bag and the Taoist priest's pistol are usually carried on the body, and the Taoist robe cannot be seen. When sleeping, they are placed under the pillow. If anything happens, you can escape at any time.
Zhang Yingchen walked all the way but did not go directly to Shangfang. Since he came from the 21st century, of course he knew the importance of the mass line. What's more, he wanted to preach. In addition to the upper-level line, the mass line was also important. So every time he went to Shangfang, he took Mr. Zhuang's pulse.
Or when he had nothing to do, he would always go to the backyard, the big kitchen and the lower room where the servants lived, talk to the banker's servants, and diagnose and treat those who were sick - without charging for the medicine. The banker's servants
They all have a favorable impression of his approachable and non-snobbish style, and they all say that he is a true "monk".
When I walked to the backyard, I saw many objects piled up in the yard, including pots and pans, as well as various shovels, knives and other things. Zhang Yingchen was a Chinese medicine practitioner, and he knew at a glance that these were businessmen from a Chinese medicine store. Among them were some
There was a rectangular iron cage that looked much older and was stained with rust. Several servants were scrubbing it. Seeing him coming, these people put down their work and greeted him.
"What is this?" Zhang Yingchen was a little surprised.
"Taoist Master, this was used to raise deer in the medicine shop." An old servant said, "Look, there are some small ones over there, which are used to raise pangolins, silky chickens and the like."
It turned out that the banker had opened a large drug store in Yizhou City in the early years. Later, the drug store took away these items and they were useless, and they were kept in the warehouse in the backyard.
"Then why take it out?"
"Isn't this your merits?" Another middle-aged servant said, "Since you cured the master's disease and advised him to give up the medicine, the master said that there are constant floods, droughts and famines in the local area, and the people are suffering from diseases, so it is better to give up the medicine.
We want to open a medicine shop to help all living beings, so we took care of the little ones and took out all these guys."
"Master Zhuang is a very kind man." Zhang Yingchen immediately put a high hat on Zhuang Qian.
"Who says otherwise?" said the old servant. "The master runs a shop to make a living, and we are the ones who benefit from it: the master has already promised my fourth grandson to work as a waiter in the shop. Otherwise, the old man will not be able to pick up any errands at home, and he will eat for free."
Money and food from my parents!”
Zhang Yingchen knew that he had indeed talked with Mr. Zhuang about giving up medicine a few days ago. In fact, he had been secretly promoting the new Taoist ideas to him these days, instilling the teachings bit by bit - according to his grasp
In such a situation, without the support and protection of the local gentry, it would be difficult to reach the heavens to preach.
Originally, when he persuaded Mr. Zhuang to give up medicine, he actually meant to build a brand for Runshitang. Now it would be better if he wanted to open a pharmacy. Using the various special Chinese patent medicines in Runshitang's hands, he would not worry about being unable to control this pharmacy.
If we can completely win over Mr. Zhuang and become the backbone of New Taoism in the local area, the entire Dadianzhuang will be the "battle fortress" of New Taoism in Yizhou. I will no longer have to worry about being attacked by other forces.
.You can even use local human resources to preach. At least the local believers have a more suitable accent than the people you brought from Qiongshan.
