Chapter 198 Reward
The reason why Lin Jiu wanted to use a meal as a reward to tell A Qiang the news that the horse thieves would come to the village to loot in such a detour was naturally not a useless move.

Sure enough, Ah Qiang's complexion became serious in an instant.

But he still couldn't help having some doubts, and said: "Guest officer, what you said is true, not just words?"

"Insincere words, for a meal?"

Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Believe it or not, it's all up to you."

hiss!
Ah Qiang took a deep breath and basically believed Lin Jiu's words, he said: "If this is true, guest officer, you are the savior of our entire village, let alone this meal, you are I also want to eat for free for a year."

If the horse thieves really attacked suddenly, but the people in their village were not even prepared, the fate would be obvious. It would definitely be a miserable scene where the village was completely destroyed and buried under the knife.

Even if he was prepared, he didn't dare to imagine how many people in the village could survive in front of the vicious horse thieves.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Qiang asked in confusion: "Guest officer, I don't know why you told me the news about the horse thief, and after knowing the news about the horse thief, you got involved in this place?"

"The horse thieves' actions are too vicious. Not far from your village, a small town has been ransacked by horse thieves, with corpses strewn across the field, and no one survived. To tell you the news, I don't want to see this kind of tragedy happen again. "

Lin Jiu sighed softly, and then made a cold and proud gesture and said: "As for the danger... I can't talk about it. After all, I am a Taoist priest from Maoshan. Although those horse thieves are evil cultivators, they know some low-level sorcery. But I'm not afraid."

"what?!"

Ah Qiang turned pale with shock: "Zhangjia Town has been ransacked by horse thieves, and those horse thieves are still evil cultivators?!"

His chubby face was a little pale, and horse thieves are vicious, but if they are still the kind of evil cultivators who run around and do things without means, then...

Thinking of this, Ah Qiang's whole body trembled violently, and cold sweat immediately flowed down.

"No, I have to inform everyone as soon as possible."

Ah Qiang panicked and was about to rush out of the inn.

'This guy, can't you see me? I said it before you heard me. I'm a Taoist priest from Maoshan. I'm not afraid of those evil horse repair thieves. You're looking for me! '

Seeing this, Lin Jiu, who was pretending to be proud, almost lost his posture. He quickly said, "Brother Aqiang, wait a minute."

"Oh, what are you waiting for? I have to inform the people in the village quickly, or it will be too late. What if those horse thieves come over?"

The impatient Ah Qiang replied anxiously, with sweat dripping down his face.

"Even if you tell everyone now, what can you do, the horse thief is attacking, should everyone run away or resist?

Escape, how to escape, leave the homeland, how to deal with the family property?
If you resist, how can you resist, how many horse thieves are there, and how strong are they?None of you know! "

Lin Jiu got up, walked around Ah Qiang and said, "If there is someone here who is not afraid of those horse thieves, maybe all problems can be solved..."

As he said that, he stood upright, with an air of arrogance, with his right hand behind his back, as if to explain that the superior person was himself.

"Yeah, it would be nice to have someone who is not afraid of horse thieves here to help us."

Ah Qiang nodded in agreement, then frowned: "But where is this person, I won't be able to find him in a while."

"Isn't this person right in front of you?"

At this time, I saw Wen Cai standing up who had already finished a bowl of rice, pointing at Lin Jiu, and said to A Qiang with some dissatisfaction: "My master is a Maoshan student known as the 'Suppressing Magician', with such a strong ability. People are here, what else are you thinking about? And my master came here for the horse thief..."

"Cough cough!"

Before Wencai could finish speaking, Lin Jiu quickly interrupted, this is a good deal, needless to say the latter, the former is enough.

"Yes, yes, guest officer, you are a disciple of Maoshan..."

Ah Qiang's eyes brightened, he looked at Lin Jiu who was standing upright in front of him, and hurriedly said: "Guest, Taoist priest, please help us, since you are willing to come and tell me about the horse thief, you are the famous Maoshan Disciple, Daoist Master, please don't refuse."

"Brother Ah Qiang, it's not like I can't help, it's just that..."

Lin Jiu frowned, looking a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Ah Qiang became anxious, and said repeatedly: "Master Dao, if you have any request, just say it."

With a casual smile, Lin Jiu said: "Well, I want you to notify the people in the village, and let them all obey my orders, and you must not act arbitrarily, so as not to cause unnecessary damage when the horse thief arrives."

"no problem."

Ah Qiang nodded quickly without any hesitation.

Then, Lin Jiu said: "One more thing, I can't help you with horse thieves for no reason, after all, it has nothing to do with me."

"I understand, I understand, Daoist, don't worry, please help deal with horse thieves, Daoist, we will pay you, and we won't let you get involved in horse thieves for no reason."

When A Qiang heard this, he was completely relieved. Since this person asked for money, it proved that he could not have other purposes, or even be with horse thieves.

At most, it's probably just cheating some money, but it shouldn't be, because the horse thief should show up, and if he doesn't show up, doesn't it just mean that he is lying?
"Haha, that's good, but the reward doesn't need to be too much, let's use our room fee as the reward."

Lin Jiu laughed.

Hearing this, Ah Qiang said hesitantly: "Is this too little?"

"A lot, a lot. Actually, to be honest, I came here to stay for a horse thief!"

Lin Jiu said coldly, and only then chose to reveal the truth.

People including the horse thief are evil cultivators, and they are at odds with him, and the town residents died tragically, etc., the reason why they told the news about the horse thief in a roundabout way, and asked for 'payment', stayed to help...

After listening to Lin Jiu's narration, Ah Qiang said in admiration: "It turns out that the Taoist priest has taken so much trouble, in order to win my trust, he actually spared such a distant circle.

But Daoist Master, what you did was right. If you really said that there were horse thieves as soon as you came, maybe I really wouldn’t believe it, and I might even think that you had malicious intentions and caused conflicts. "

"It doesn't matter, I'll explain it to you now to completely dispel your worries. I hope you and the people in the village can trust me so that I can make arrangements for dealing with horse thieves."

Lin Jiu waved his hand and said, "Okay, brother Ah Qiang, you can find someone to gather everyone in the village, I have orders to deal with horse thieves."

"well."

A Qiang continued: "The Taoist priest, you eat first, and I will inform everyone."

After finishing speaking, he trotted into the back kitchen first, and after a short while, a man's exclamation and scolding voice came out.

Then, the curtain of the back kitchen swelled, and Ah Qiang walked out with a thin man who was undressed and fleshy.

"Ah Xing, I have told you everything. You entertain the Taoist priest and his disciples well, and I will inform the others."

"Well, Brother Qiang, you can go."

Ah Xing first looked at Lin Jiu and Wen Cai who were sitting at the table eating, and then nodded quickly.

"it is good."

Patting Ah Xing on the shoulder, Ah Qiang ran directly towards the outside of the inn.
