Chapter 42: Arrest

The next morning, Chu Danqing took Dabao to maintain the porridge distribution order.

It was the government that distributed porridge, not the Lu clan, but there was a shortage of manpower, so they asked local noble clans to help.

The Lu clan itself was caught off guard by this snow disaster and needed to purchase grain, so where would they have surplus grain for disaster relief?

After arriving, Chu Danqing took Dabao to patrol for deterrence.

After finishing, he found a suitable place to sit down and took out the notes to read carefully.

It is said to be maintaining order, but in fact, things like cutting in line and making noise do not need him to manage at all; he is only responsible for dealing with larger chaos.

"Guest Retainer Chu, you are quite leisurely." Tie Yan walked over, his gaze falling on the notes in Chu Danqing's hand, his tone sour.

He brought the apostles under his hand to dispense talisman water, in order to accumulate faction contribution for completing the task.

150 points a day, exactly completed after seven days.

As for the other apostles, Tie Yan could only let them seek their own blessings.

He had the heart to do tasks with higher faction contribution, but the first task failed and three apostles died.

One of them was a member of the Long Hu Alliance; now only Han Ying is his diehard, and the remaining apostles have their own thoughts about him.

Chu Danqing looked at Tie Yan; the other party was not doing well.

The comprehensive difficulty of joining the Taiping Dao faction is the lowest, and the return is also the lowest.

"Square Master Tie is also quite leisurely, actually having time to chat with me." Chu Danqing replied with a meaningless sentence.

Square Master is Tie Yan's position, similar to a team leader managing believers.

Except for Tie Yan, the remaining dimension apostles were just believers after joining the Taiping Dao.

Without enough strength, there is no way to obtain the position of Square Master.

They need to become Square Masters within seven days to activate the next ring of trial tasks.

"The third share of the faction shop is all in your hands, right? Make a price and share one with me." Tie Yan noticed Chu Danqing's attitude, so he went straight to the point and said in a low voice.

Chu Danqing shook his head: "I exchanged for the second one; do you think I can still have 4500 faction contributions?"

"If I really had so much, I might as well choose to save up for the first one."

Saying that, he signaled the notes in his hand.

He and Tie Yan were not related, so why should he tell him the truth?

And his attitude and tone made Chu Danqing very uncomfortable; what does "make a price and share one with me" mean? It's nothing more than wanting to take advantage of himself.

He couldn't even gather 1500 faction contributions; with this strength, why should he take out items equivalent to the Lu Clan Body Refining Secret Medicine?

Even if there is one, it is a trump card; how could he be willing to use it as a transaction item?

Tie Yan wanted to bluff, and he actually had some guesses about the actual situation.

If he could have 7500 faction contributions, he would definitely fight for the Fine-tier inherited skill ranked first in the faction shop.

His gaze fell on the notes in Chu Danqing's hand, and another idea suddenly appeared in his heart.

"You can read these notes repeatedly; Guest Retainer Chu, can you lend me a copy?" Tie Yan leaned over and said in a low voice: "One thousand Paradise Points, just treat it as making a friend."

Chu Danqing closed the notes and said: "Tie Yan, I treat you as a normal person, so don't treat me as a fool."

"With the little bit you gave, why do you think you can exchange for the content of the notes in my hand?"

After giving a good face, the other party wanted to climb up the pole.

Copying is of course possible, but at least give a sincere price.

Tie Yan just thought that both sides represented their respective forces and would not go too far in public.

Dabao stretched out his big hand at an extremely fast speed, directly pinched Tie Yan's whole head, and threw him toward the pile of Taiping Dao believers.

"If you come to provoke me again, I will send you to see the Imperial Heaven of the Taiping Dao." Chu Danqing originally had no good feelings about the Taiping Dao, and he was retaliated against last night.

Tie Yan climbed up in a sorry state, anger appearing in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

The other party was not only stronger than him but also had a larger force; conflict was unfavorable to him.

It was just Chu Danqing's behavior that made the believers unhappy, and they all surrounded him, looking at Chu Danqing with unkind expressions.

"Square Master Tie is wrong, but it's not your turn, an outsider, to discipline him; our Taiping Dao is..." The leading Taiping Dao Taoist opened his mouth to suppress people with power.

He didn't care about the grievances between the two sides, but Chu Danqing's move made their Taiping Dao lose face.

It's just that he hadn't finished speaking before he was interrupted.

"Why? Can your Taiping Dao also ignore the laws of our dynasty?" A cold voice came.

Captain Xiongquan was wearing armor, leading a group of soldiers to push through the crowd, his gaze scanning the Taiping Dao members present.

"Laws? Our Taiping Dao has always been law-abiding; how can the Commandery Lieutenant frame people for no reason?" The Taiping Dao Taoist's face changed slightly.

"Law-abiding? Heh." Captain Xiongquan dismissed it, then shouted loudly: "Your matter has been exposed!"

"Spreading witchcraft, harming the former Commandery Lieutenant, attacking the Governor's wife, intending to harm the Governor; all of you Taiping Dao must come with me."

Once the words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

For a time, everyone was whispering.

"You fart!" Han Ying was not lightly angered and cursed regardless of the consequences.

However, Captain Xiongquan didn't even look at him, just waved his hand, and a group of soldiers began to detain the Taiping Dao members.

Those dimension apostles who joined the Taiping Dao were also within the scope.

Compared to the native residents who were caught honestly, the dimension apostles were naturally unwilling to be captured without a fight.

"Those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot." Captain Xiongquan issued the order again.

"Chu Mo, Captain Xiongquan can take action against us today, and he can take action against you tomorrow."

"Join forces and kill him first!" Tie Yan's face changed suddenly, and then he thought of dragging Chu Danqing into the water.

Chu Danqing ignored Tie Yan's words directly and said slowly: "What Commandery Lieutenant Captain Xiongquan said is not empty words."

This is the information gap of too low status. Joining a low-threshold faction requires a price.

In Tie Yan's view, it was Captain Xiongquan who wanted to clear the field.

In fact, it was the government and noble clans taking action against the Taiping Dao.

But Tie Yan didn't know the truth, only thinking that Chu Danqing might also be involved.

Therefore, when hearing Chu Danqing's words, he gritted his teeth, took Han Ying, and fled directly.

Captain Xiongquan looked at Chu Danqing and nodded: "Guest Retainer Chu, there may be a chance to cooperate next time."

After speaking, he took the captured people back; he had to ask for valuable intelligence from this group of Taiping Dao.

It was enough to capture the important figures; the remaining people who fled were irrelevant, just issue a wanted notice.

After the people left, Chu Danqing understood why Lu Yin was not sure about the plan.

It turned out that he was waiting for the government to ask for intelligence from the Taiping Dao members before he could deploy.

The matter subsided, and Chu Danqing sat back and continued to look at the notes.
