Facing a huge beast that was paranoid and exuded a strong aura of indifference between friend and foe, Li Kui was filled with helplessness.

Zhang Dun, this old man is too cruel.

Scholars in the Song Dynasty were of all kinds, including the innocent, the resolute, the generous, the courageous, the righteous, the flatterers... There were many styles, and each type was complete. There was always one that could suit the emperor's appetite and gain favor. But only one could satisfy the emperor's appetite and gain favor.

Duzhangdun was an extraordinary scholar. The emperor must have been frightened when he saw him.

How could Li Kui not be worried about scholars who even the emperor was afraid of?

Besides, Zhang Dun’s reputation as an impoverished family is really not just talk. He really wants to do it, but he has no supporters. This makes him very angry and helpless at the same time. He doesn’t have to say anything, if the world lets him say it

After all, the Song Dynasty will probably have no party and government. Because the civil servants who oppose him will basically be killed by him, and the rest will have an illustrious reputation, arrows in their knees, and prostrate themselves before him.

Li Kui did not have these worries, because Zhang Dun had a bad reputation, but he had never oppressed the people. His father did, and he was dismissed from office once for this.

Looking around the hall, Li Kui suddenly discovered that his teacher Zhou Yuan was actually sitting at the end of the civil service. Yizhou has four county jurisdictions, plus the prefecture Yamen, magistrates, county magistrates, push officials and other civil servants.

I was accompanied by some bureaucrats from Linyi County Government, such as the chief secretary who had no sense of presence.

But even such an official ranks before Zhou Yuan...

He had previously thought that if his teacher Zhou Yuan could help and say a few nice words, Zhang Dun might be allowed to let him go. He thought that even though he was breaking the rules by standing on the roof, if he really wanted to pursue him... it would not be a big mistake. But Zhang Dun

He is a master who can kill people randomly for the sake of disgusting people. It is better to have someone speak than to have no one speak, right?

But the current situation is that Zhou Yuan is very unpopular in front of Zhang Dun. If he speaks for his disciple Li Kui, I am afraid that Zhang Dun did not think anything of it, and Zhang Dun, who is very popular with Zhou Yuan, will also vent his anger on Li Kui.

The possibility of doing a disservice to someone is greatly increased.

Li Kui said silently in his heart: "You are cheating!"

No wonder Zhou Yuan told him not to run around blindly. It turned out not to be because he was playful, but because he really couldn't protect his disciples on the ground in Yizhou.

"I don't know what you are talking about when you are hearing this?"

Li Kui had no choice but to walk in the middle aisle and stand four or five steps in front of Zhang Dun. He looked reckless, but when he opened his mouth, he spoke in a formal manner. The contrast was so great that Zhang Dun was also a little distracted.

If he were a Jianghu person, and heard his former deputy prime minister or old husband calling him, the normal way would be to fall to his knees on the ground, say a bunch of words of admiration, and beg to be taken in.

That's right.

Just take it in.

The martial arts of the Song Dynasty had no status, and the same was true in the court. Among the people, the best way out for the martial arts without foundation was to follow the civil servants, and their social status would immediately double and become a semi-official status. In the capital, the martial arts masters in the residences of high-ranking officials were not called martial arts masters, but martial arts masters.

It's Yu Hou. Lu Qian in "Water Margin" is the Yu Hou in Gao Qiu's mansion. His identity is just a Jianghu person who looks after the homes and courtyards of senior officials. He is really not an official. Li Kui does not do this, but acts like a scholar.

Standing aside, he bowed and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone. This made Zhang Dun a little curious, what is the origin of this boy?

However, his curiosity was not too serious. He stopped Li Kui just to fulfill his promise: "Boy, you don't want the money!"

"Yinzi!" Li Kui was stunned and said stupidly: "What money? I didn't hear anything?"

"I just promised to capture the bandit leader and reward you with a thousand taels of silver. Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't keep his words?" Zhang Dun stared at Li Kui, unable to tell whether Li Kui was pretending to be ignorant or just listening.

The four characters who came to the Imperial City Division were so frightened that they did not dare to ask for the reward at all.

The official on the side whispered to Zhang Dun: "Old husband, there is not much silver in the treasury to begin with. Should I change it to jiaozi or copper coins?"

"I'm doing something, why do you need you to remind me?" How could Zhang Dun not know that the price of silver is high? One tael of silver can be exchanged for two guan, and it can be exchanged for copper coins, which is 6 or 7. A few years ago, Zhang Dun wouldn't have been one.

He opened his mouth and gave a reward of one thousand taels of silver. This was government money and he had no reason to waste it. But now his mood changed.

Over the years, I have been suppressed by conservatives and have never been stable in one place. I have to go back and forth every six months and a year. And the journey is not short. The first time I was an official in Shandong, the next time I will go to Lianghu.

For the past four or five years, at least a year has been spent on the road. Now Zhang Dun is full of resentment, where is the time to listen to advice? Besides, the Gao family even gave away the land, and even sent it to four states in one breath

Even if he gave it to Xixia, she didn't feel distressed. Why should he save this money for Song Dynasty?

Li Kui felt that it was a good deal. He came here just to save Liu Baosheng's life, and he also got a thousand taels of silver for free. This was an unexpected surprise, so he bowed and thanked: "Thank you, sir, for the reward."

When he was eagerly waiting to receive the reward, Zhang Dun spoke again, but this time Li Kui exploded: "Boy, my Yamen in Yizhou still needs a head catcher, you can do it!" Zhang Dun named him.

The man surnamed Dao asked Li Kui to be the head catcher of Yizhou without even giving Li Kui a reason to object, which immediately revealed his domineering style of dealing with people.

Yan Bi, the head catcher from Yizhou who came in a hurry, was dumbfounded. He had only one reaction in his mind: "I was jerked off, I was actually jerked off!"

"grown ups!"

"Um--"

Under Zhang Dun's eyes threatening death, Yan Bi curled his neck and shut himself up on the side. Yan Bi is a small person, with a future as big as a fly. In Zhang Dun's eyes, Yan Bi's reaction will not be considered at all. Besides,

There are so many people from the Imperial City Division infiltrating the city, but you, the head catcher, don’t even know anything about it. What’s the use of keeping you?

But neither Zhang Dun nor Yan Bi expected Li Kui's reaction to be so big. He almost jumped up in anger, pulled out his throat and said angrily: "You guys won't do it!"

Why should he be the head catcher?

In Baizhang Village, the old patriarch asked him to be a policeman, but he was not happy.

Li Qing, the head catcher of Yishui County, also saw that he was a good candidate to be a catcher, so he also declined.

After finally becoming a disciple of Zhou Yuan, he has a good chance of studying. Perhaps relying on Zhou Yuan’s relationship, he can pass the Tribute Examination, go to the capital to see the world, and have a chance to take part in the provincial examination. What’s wrong with him?

The head catchers are mixed together.

Li Kui's shouting voice was like a hammer breaking a chime, and it immediately shook the ears of everyone around him. This guy ignored it and shouted: "Catching the police is just a job of the untouchables, and catching the head is the leader of the untouchables. You

Even though I am the governor of the state, you cannot humiliate me like this."

The head catcher Yan Bi who was standing closest to him breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Li Kui did not agree to Zhang Xianggong, otherwise he would have fainted from tears. Is it easy for him to go from being a catcher to a head catcher after so many years?

But after he secretly glanced at Li Kui, he decided not to thank him!

Li Kui's bad mouth is too damaging. Why is he the leader of the untouchables? In Yizhou City, except for officials, no one calls him Yan Dutou when he sleeps? How can he be the leader of the untouchables?

This bastard, catching a head is different from catching a quickie, isn't he too cheap? At this moment, Yan Bi was thinking uncertainly.

Zhang Dun was a little dazed. He had no intention of letting Li Kui continue to be a catcher, let alone a head catcher. Instead, he took a fancy to Li Kui's martial arts skills and wanted to keep him around. The reformists became more and more popular in the Song Dynasty.

It's hard to mix up. Now that the conservatives are in power, reformists like them are basically suppressed, and exile to various places has become a common thing. When Lu Huiqing, the leader of the reformists, was demoted, he didn't even dare to drink a sip of raw water on the road. He was so afraid

After falling ill, he delayed the already stringent deadline for taking office, which was used by conservatives to get him punished.

What's more, the frequent assassinations and frame-ups made Zhang Dun realize how important it is to have a martial artist by his side.

That's right.

He just took a fancy to Li Kui's brute strength, but what surprised him was that Li Kui reacted so violently, as if he was digging into his ancestral grave.

The officials present in Yizhou were also shocked by Li Kui's reaction. When Li Kui opened his mouth, he said: "You are also a scholar, and you can't do anything that will bring shame to your ancestors!"

It didn't matter what Li Kui said, but after hearing this, several officials looked at Li Kui's slovenly appearance and covered their mouths and snickered.
