Chapter 461 Hu Jianbai Appears
"Captain Lu, do you believe this kind of nonsense? How could the Nine Head Mountain Fox Clan allow this child to be their son-in-law?"
Wei Yuan looked ferocious, glared at Lu Tu, and said angrily: "Captain Lu, I have never dealt with you before, let alone offended you, why are you targeting me like this?
Is it because I gave this child a copy of "The Gentleman's Words" and I was worried that if I took your apprenticeship, he would not follow the path of martial arts and cultivation, but instead prepare to study for the imperial examinations?
If this is the case, Captain Lu, you can rest assured. I am optimistic about this child's future.
But I know my own limitations. I am neither capable nor qualified to accept this child as my disciple. There is no need for you to target me because of such a small matter!"
If it weren't for the fact that the mysterious man was still lurking nearby, Tang Anzhi would have died at the hands of the other party. He didn't know whether Tang Anzhi had offended the other party before or what, but he was very worried that he would follow in Tang Anzhi's footsteps. Only with Lu Tu around did he feel a little safe.
If it weren't for his own life, which still depended on Lu Tu's protection, and Lu Tu's false accusation - ahem, suspecting him without any evidence, he couldn't help but curse.
"Who said that the story about that child becoming the son-in-law of the Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan was a lie?"
Just when Lu Tu was about to find an excuse to deal with Wei Yuan, a sneer rang out, and then an elegant middle-aged man walked in from outside. His eyes wandered around the Zhang family lobby and finally stopped on Wei Yuan, making Wei Yuan feel like he was being watched by a tiger.
'Why is he here? '
Wang Ping'an was suddenly startled, and his heart was suddenly filled with vigilance.
The visitor was none other than Hu Jianbai, the chief of the fox tribe of Jiu Tou Mountain. He was very suspicious in his heart whether Hu Jianbai showed up this time just for Wei Yuan.
If so...
He has a good show to watch!
Wei Yuan wanted to hide behind Lu Tu to avoid Hu Jianbai's gaze, but Lu Tu was some distance away from him. If he hid behind Lu Tu in shame, it would be particularly embarrassing. He said:
"Who are you?"
of course.
He did not do so because although Hu Jianbai's eyes were unfriendly, he could feel that there was no murderous intent. The other party might have bad intentions, but he would not kill him. Besides, Yu Die and Lu Tu were by his side, no matter what Yu Die and Lu Tu thought of him.
One of them is a Captain and the other is a Thousand Household Member of the Demon Suppression Division. They have to protect him, the magistrate of Qingyang County. Otherwise, once people know that they, the two Captains and the Thousand Household Member of the Demon Suppression Division, allowed him, an official appointed by the imperial court, to be killed by villains, they will more or less be severely punished.
otherwise.
If it really comes to a critical moment of life safety, let alone being embarrassed, he would be able to kneel down and call him grandpa.
"Who am I?"
Hu Jianbai looked at Wei Yuan coldly, his face full of sarcasm, and said with a smile:
"County Magistrate Wei, you often come to my Jiutoushan market, and you actually asked me who I am. Don't you find it funny?"
Jiutoushan Market receives all kinds of guests, no matter who they are or what they have done, as long as they are in Jiutoushan Market and have not done anything bad, they will be received.
Before Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Qingyang County would also visit their Jiutoushan Market, but never as frequently as Wei Yuan. He would go to Jiutoushan Market almost every time he had free time.
As for what he did, as the owner of Jiutou Mountain Market, how could he not know? And he was still hanging out with the Jiutou Mountain Fox Clan women from time to time?
He had seen many drunkards and womanizers like Wei Yuan, but he could not say that this was the first time he had seen someone as lustful as Wei Yuan, but he could say that he had not seen anyone so often. Even though Wei Yuan was the magistrate of Qingyang County, he had no interest in him, so much so that Wei Yuan had been to Jiutoushan Market countless times.
They have never met each other even once!
It's not that he has any prejudice against lustful men. In his opinion, love between men and women is just human nature. But a drunkard and a womanizer like Wei Yuan can be seen at a glance as a man who will never amount to anything. Even if the other party is the magistrate of Qingyang County, he is not worthy of his getting close to him.
"You, you, you are Hu Jianbai, the leader of the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan?"
Wei Yuan trembled all over, his face turned pale, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he denied it with a trembling voice:
"You, you, what are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean, what do you mean I often go to Jiutou Mountain Market? I, I, I rarely leave Qingyang County, how can I often go to Jiutou Mountain Market?"
Jiutoushan Market is filled with all kinds of people, evil practitioners who walk on the edge of the law, and monsters. He is the magistrate of Qingyang County. If people knew that he often went to such places, it would more or less affect his reputation.
but.
What he was thinking about now was not how to deny that he often went to Jiutoushan Market, but why Hu Jianbai appeared here.
He remembered that not long ago, he and Tang Anzhi had framed Hu Jiushisan and almost killed him. The leader of the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan, who rarely appeared in the world, suddenly ran to him. It was very likely that he came to seek revenge on him. He no longer cared about his face and quickly hid behind Lu Tu.
How can face be more important than life?
Lu Tu looked at Wei Yuan who had hidden behind him in a panic. A flash of disdain flashed across his eyes, but he didn't say much. He looked deeply at Hu Jianbai and said:
"Chief Hu, I don't know if what you just said is true or false. Are you really planning to let that child become your son-in-law from the Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan?"
He was a captain of the Demon Suppression Division, and his job was to slay demons and eliminate evil. As for the Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan, which was a kind race with a strong background and not prone to causing trouble, both he and Da Xia turned a blind eye.
With his identity, it is not convenient for him to deal with monsters. He is not very familiar with Hu Jianbai, the patriarch of the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan in the area under his jurisdiction. However, from the information he has collected, he can still know what kind of fox monster Hu Jianbai is.
Knowing that he was not a fox demon who relied on the power of others to bully others, but that he had great cultivation and made a living by his brain, he did not look down on him at all.
"Master Lu, I wonder if you have seen that child?"
Hu Jianbai looked at Wang Ping'an, an ordinary guy in Liu Dongzhu's arms, who was just a little fat. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not answer immediately, but asked instead.
Lu Tu nodded.
Hu Jianbai asked again: "Since Lord Lu, you have examined the child, Lord Lu, please tell me a fair word, is the child qualified to be a member of the Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan?"
Lu Tu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them. He took a deep breath, as if he was exhaling all his distracting thoughts with this breath, and said:
"With this child's potential, he is qualified to be the son-in-law of your Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan!"
