Chapter 481: Take advantage of others

The wind blew the green jujube trees, making a rustling sound.

The otter opened his arms like a bow, stretched his waist, and made a monkey fist posture.

Scarface put his claws together, and the yellow robe draped over his shoulders fluttered.

The murderous aura had frozen time, waiting for a flying leaf to cut through the silence, and the claw light burst out.

"Click!"

The door was pushed open.

The sound of the door hinge was like a bell, breaking the taut long string, and the balanced confrontation collapsed. The two black shadows kicked the ground together, rolling up the evil wind, and fighting in a ball.

Swish!

The claw light was shining, and the broken hair flew.

Liang Qu crossed the corridor and ran past the two river otters.

The door of the east wing was open.

He stepped in.

The old monk and Su Guishan were both there, sitting opposite each other at the desk, brewing tea and drinking tea.

"Master! Uncle!" Liang Qu shouted, sitting cross-legged at the table, "What should we do now?"

Looking at the posture of drinking tea, needless to say, he knew everything clearly.

"Don't panic, just a few snake demons." Su Guishan picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Liang Qu, "What about you? What do you think? Do you guess what they are here for?"

Liang Qu nodded silently.

Yuantou had been to Xiangyi County before, and there were four snake demons in the area. This was the information he knew early in the morning.

There were four snake demons in Xiangyi County, and there were also four treasures presented today.

The other party's identity was about to be revealed.

It was just that the behavior of the snakes was really surprising, so Liang Qu couldn't figure out their brain circuits at once.

On the way back from the pier, he understood some of the tricks.

"The leading red-scaled snake said, 'Bring gifts back and give them to the chief priest.' Today's gift must be for me.

However, I don't have much interaction with the East Snake. The only time was when I went to Xiangyi County to kill the rebellious snake demon. But this time I should have made an enemy of the East Snake, and it shouldn't have sent me a gift..."

Su Guishan nodded.

The matter of the river god can scare the people outside, but which of the three people present will take it seriously?

The sudden appearance of a group of snake demons is definitely not without purpose.

"Anything else?" Su Guishan sipped tea.

"In addition to me, there was another participant in the snake-slaying incident in Xiangyi, the white ape. Since the snake demon didn't look for me, it should have come to look for it."

"They want to bribe you to get the whereabouts of the white ape?"

Liang Qu pondered: "Probably so."

The old monk said: "They are not seeking revenge for the murder of their own people."

Su Guishan responded: "If they really came for the murder of their own people, they shouldn't just look for the white ape.

The white ape was killed because of your instructions.

Even though you are an official of the court and have received the order of the Holy Emperor, the snake demon should not act rashly. It should not choose to seek revenge on the white ape alone, but it should not give you gifts.

So the white ape itself is strange? Or does it have a deep hatred with the snake clan?

That day, you sent the white ape, which happened to expose its whereabouts and provoke the snake demon to come?"

What the two said was almost the same.

Liang Qu was silent, and did not deny it.

Su Guishan looked up, his eyes flashed.

"I see. You knew the inside story early on. But the white ape couldn't beat the four snake monsters. You didn't want to expose the white ape's whereabouts, but you wanted to get more benefits, but you couldn't grasp the right measure. You were worried that the snake monsters would jump over the wall. This is what you wanted to ask, right?"

"Uncle has a keen eye." Liang Qu flattered him.

Su Guishan didn't think it was wrong. It's natural for people to eat monsters and monsters to eat people.

"They didn't reveal their purpose this time. In any case, they must have plans to find you again in the future.

They won't let the three precious plants go to waste, and there's no saying that they give things first and then ask for information.

Now the three precious plants are mostly a gift for meeting. In this case..."

After a while.

"Take it." Su Guishan put his arms on his knees and leaned back. "Why don't you take it for free? Do you have a grudge against the treasure fish and treasure plants? You can't beat the white ape. Can't you escape even if you are prepared? Can't you cooperate with it to play a scene? Split fifty-fifty afterwards?"

Liang Qu hesitated.

That was what he originally thought.

With the talent of water walking, he could jump dozens of miles at a time. He could deceive the snake demon, tell him where he was, and then escape. He might be able to use this trick to fleece him repeatedly.

But the timing was wrong!

He had just held the River God Festival and had gained favor!

The Jiaolong knew that he had lost Jianghuai's favor again, so he would definitely send a snake to urge the snake demon to find the white ape.

When he found the snake demon and reconciled, the Jiaolong found that the timing of losing favor was when Liangqu held the River God Festival.

The white ape was not hiding in the water, nor did it go ashore. It was not there at all!

The Jiaolong would probably find something strange and change from looking for the white ape to looking for him!

Liangqu's real idea was to just fleece once, then cross the river and demolish the bridge, leaving all the snake demons behind, and let the Jiaolong send a snake to inquire, and then make sure that there was no reconciliation!

The problem was that he had to rely on himself.

It was impossible.

It was unrealistic to kill with a borrowed knife and let the frog tribe eradicate the snake.

The demon clan has a clear border with the human clan. The snake demons do not touch the frog clan. If they are thousands of miles away, there is no frog control at all.

The only hope is Su Guishan and the old monk.

Hearing Liang Qu's request, Su Guishan was puzzled.

"Do you have to kill them?"

Good things are delivered to the door, and the right way is to keep them in a steady stream!

Killing them all at once, isn't it a case of draining the pond to catch fish?

Liang Qu was helpless: "It's hard to say, anyway, there are difficulties."

Su Guishan made up his own image of the irreconcilable hatred between the white ape and the snake demon, so that he was unwilling to do anything to fleece the sheep.

"It's inconvenient for me to take action. Compared with the snake demon who has never committed any crime, the master of the Ghost Mother Sect is the top priority. However, you don't need to trouble the master to make a killing for no reason. I have a trick."

Liang Qu listened attentively: "Uncle, please speak."

"Marquis Weining, do you remember?"

"I remember, at the end of April, the court granted Ningjiang Prefecture in the south to Marquis Weining and invited talents."

"I got the news that in a few days, the fleet of Marquis Weining, heading from south to north, will inspect Daze and pass through Pingyang Prefecture."

"This..." Liang Qu understood, and his eyebrows were straight, "Uncle, what virtue and ability do I have to ask the Martial Saint to help me..."

"Who said it was help?"

Liang Qu was stunned.

...

Back at the pier, the division of fate was in full swing.

Xiang Fangsu stood on the high platform, looking around, like an eagle.

There were six long lines, some cutting meat, some weighing, and there were so many people that it would take an hour to divide them.

There was even someone on the side who dipped a brush in dye and drew a line on the inside of the wrist of the person who led the meat.

Lin Songbao's facial recognition was no longer useful.

There were few people before, and most of them were locals, so it was not so difficult to remember.

At present, it is not just Yixing Town, but the surrounding towns, cities, and towns, which contributed at least half of the people!

Tens of thousands of unfamiliar faces, some of them deliberately made themselves dirty and messy, thinking of taking advantage of the situation to get more meat, and it was difficult to identify them.

Fortunately, Chen Zhaoan had prepared in advance.

A few days in advance, he sent people to Tianbo Chamber of Commerce to buy a special blue dye. Once it gets on the skin, it cannot be washed or wiped off. You can only wait for it to fade slowly, and it will not dissipate for at least a few days.

Those who participated in the sacrifice today will be marked with a sum to receive meat.

Those who have received sacrificial meat will be marked with another sum to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation.

Liang Qu walked through the crowd and called the young man who cut the meat.

"How is the meat divided?"

The young man said respectfully: "According to the old rules set by you, Mr. Liang, last year, each person in the village will get three catties, and each old person will get an extra six taels. Regardless of adults or children, foreigners will get half."

Xiang Fangsu saw Liang Qu coming and jumped off the high platform.

"Quick, what's going on? Is there any response?"
