At the beginning, I angrily scolded the officials, I really want to die

Hear this.

Lin Huai frowned slightly.

He showed a very interested look and asked.

"Weird?"

"What kind of weird method?"

Shi Pingshan talked for a long time.

I don't know if it was dry mouth for a while, or a little depressed in my heart.

He took off the wine gourd at his waist without any hassle, and was about to raise his head to take a sip.

But he saw Lin Huai staring at him closely.

Seeing this scene.

Shi Pingshan scratched his head subconsciously at first,

Then he raised the jug in his hand with a smile on his face, and asked Lin Huai in front of him.

"Hey hey, this subordinate is really thirsty."

"Also ask Lin Xiangda to be merciful and let his subordinates quench their thirst."

Shi Pingshan is the elder of Xiaoyao Sect.

The cultivation base is naturally good, and he has practiced to the state of the late Jindan stage in just [-] years.

But since he became the elder of Xiaoyao Sect.

Shi Pingshan was a little slack about his practice.

The pampered life for many years has caused him to develop a whole body of bad habits.

Not only is he addicted to gambling, but he also likes drinking very much, basically to the point where he never leaves his body.

some time ago.

After Xiaoyaozong was defeated by Ling Xiaoya.

After learning from the painful experience, Shi Pingshan made up his mind to abandon bad habits and devote himself to practice.

But after only persisting for a month, he committed the gambling and drinking abstentions again.

Seeing that Shi Pingshan's restraint is so weak.

As the young patriarch of the Xiaoyao Sect, Zhao Jin'an was naturally very angry.

So there was an order.

Seal up all the gambling stalls in the entire Great Zhao Imperial City!
Until the leaders of the four major families.

After pleading with Zhao Jin'an himself, Zhao Jin'an revoked the ban.

Although the gambling files are unblocked.

But Zhao Jin'an had something to say first.

If all the gambling houses in Dazhao dared to engage in Shi Pingshan's business, they would all be shut down the next day.

under such pressure.

Naturally, the four major families dare not refuse.

Since then.

Whether overtly or secretly, as long as Shi Pingshan came to the door, all the big and small gambling houses in Dazhao would quickly close their doors to thank customers.

It wasn't until Shi Pingshan's gambling addiction was completely quit that the gambling houses in Dazhao regained their former prosperity.

Perhaps it was because Shi Pingshan didn't have a deep gambling addiction, so he quit under Zhao Jin'an's pressure.

It is easy to quit gambling addiction, but it is difficult to quit alcohol addiction.

Not to mention the hometown of Shi Pingshan.

It is also known as the wine capital of the whole Dazhao.

With such prerequisites, it is naturally difficult for Shi Pingshan to quit drinking.

Although under the strong pressure of Zhao Jin'an.

Shi Pingshan greatly reduced the frequency of drinking, but still failed to quit it completely.

Lin Huai's trip to Xijin this time was naturally full of dangers.

That's why Zhao Jin'an sent Shi Pingshan and a group of Xiaoyao sect powerhouses.

Qiao Zhuang disguised himself as an envoy of the Xijin Dynasty and secretly kept Lin Huai safe.

The journey is full of dangers.

Shi Pingshan didn't want to go at first, but Zhao Jin'an was threatened by fine wine from Xijin, so he had no choice but to go with him.

Although there is good wine in hand, drinking is a waste of time after all.

Therefore, Zhao Jin'an made rules for Shi Pingshan before leaving.

Unless Lin Huai personally allows it, Shi Pingshan must not drink alcohol on his own!
He was indeed a little thirsty before, so he put this matter behind him for a while.

It wasn't until I felt Lin Huai's scrutiny that I remembered it.

Hear Shi Pingshan's words.

Lin Huai first looked around and made sure that there was no one else.

Then he smiled and nodded.

"Anyway, there are no shops in front of the village or behind here, so there must be no danger."

"If you really want to drink, drink a little to moisten your throat!"

Shi Pingshan heard this.

Sweeping away the previous full of resentment in an instant, he smiled with his eyes shining.

"Hey hey, thank you, Mr. Lin!"

Stop talking.

Shi Pingshan no longer hesitated.

Immediately raised the wine gourd in his hand, and happily took a sip.

Then he wiped away the remaining drink at the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but praise him sincerely.

"This burning knife is indeed the best spirits in Xijin! It's delicious! It's strong!"

Shi Pingshan's voice fell.

Just when he wanted to raise his head to share with Lin Huai the taste of burning knife and fine wine in his hand, he found that the latter looked at him with a half-smile.

Seeing this scene.

Shi Pingshan couldn't help but feel a tightening in his heart.

But before he could speak, Lin Huai said slowly with a faint smile.

"Drink well?"

Hear this.

Shi Pingshan's heart trembled, and he responded subconsciously.

"Back...back to Prime Minister Lin, this subordinate has a drink...it's delicious."

Just as Shi Pingshan thought.

When Lin Huai would reprimand him.

Unexpectedly, he smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Shi Pingshan's shoulder and said.

"Just kidding, you don't have to be so nervous."

"Now that you've drank the wine, shouldn't you clarify what you just said?"

Until Lin Huai's voice fell.

Only then did Shi Pingshan breathe a sigh of relief.

After hastily putting the wine gourd back around his waist and fastening it, he continued to speak seriously.

"The reason why the subordinates say it's weird is naturally because of the amount of money."

"As the villain said earlier."

"After Zhao Zu and Lao Zu passed away one after another, Da Zhao and I Xiaoyaozong went downhill one after another."

"But Dazhao is a great country after all, and the Xiaoyao Sect was also the head of the ten Dongyang Sects back then, so it will take some time for it to decline."

"But Wanbao Pavilion is different. After all, it is just a chamber of commerce, and the speed of decline is naturally much faster."

"Although Liu Wanli once earned a million-dollar net worth, there is no way for future generations to be virtuous."

"Under successive losses, I finally reached the end of the mountain ten years ago!"

"Just when the world thought that the thousand-year-old signboard of Wanbao Pavilion was about to be destroyed."

"Qian Duoduo, who was in charge of the second floor, took over the burden at this critical moment!"

Listen up here.

Lin Huai couldn't help sighing secretly.

In his opinion.

Whether it is the Great Zhao Dynasty, the Xiaoyao Sect or the Wanbao Pavilion, the reason why they will gradually decline and fade away.

Rather than saying that the future generations have no morals and it is difficult to take on this great task, it is better that the achievements of the predecessors are too dazzling!
Whether it is Zhao Zu, Xiaoyao Zong Patriarch or Liu Wanli.

No matter which era these three people are placed in, they will become the proud sons of heaven who can shake the situation.

Such talent.

Nature cannot be seen everywhere.

It is precisely because their achievements are too dazzling that future generations will live in their shadow!

Naturally, it is impossible for all living beings to be the pride of heaven.

Most of them are ordinary people like you and me.

One can imagine the difficulty for ordinary people to be compared with the proud son of heaven.

Therefore, the decline is naturally a reasonable thing.

Think here.

Lin Huai couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Although Shi Pingshan felt the change of Lin Huai's mood.

But he didn't ask, but continued on his own.

"Just when the world thought that even if Wanbao Pavilion was in the hands of Qian Duoduo, it would be impossible to escape the dilapidated ending, something weird happened!"

"Since Qian Duoduo succeeded, the four major families who originally wanted to acquire Wanbao Pavilion have all changed their minds!"

"Not only did we give up on the acquisition of Wanbao Pavilion, but we also pushed a total of 10 taels of silver to that lot of money!"

"Since then!"

"Wanbao Pavilion not only turned losses into profits, but also annexed several powerful chambers of commerce in a short period of ten years with the support of the four major families..."

Shi Pingshan said so far.

His complexion suddenly changed.

Before Lin Huai, who was puzzled in his heart, could ask, Shi Pingshan suddenly pushed him into the carriage.

Almost at the moment when Lin Huai was pushed into the carriage.

A pitch-black feather arrow suddenly pierced into the position where Lin Huai was just now!

Seeing this scene.

Shi Pingshan shouted with a gloomy expression.

"Enemy attack!"
