Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

Chiheicheng, an unknown wonton stall.

The owner of the wonton stall looked at the man and the woman and secretly complained: "The clothes are very different. Even before eating, you have to let the mice test the poison first."

Yes, these three people are exactly the three Lei Ze people who entered the city.

"Master, it's been a long time since I've eaten mortal food, and it's still as unpalatable as ever." The general said with a look of disgust.

Lei Ze said with contempt: "Then don't eat it." After saying that, he took the general's bowl and started eating it.

Xianmeng was smiling on the side and eating wontons in small bites.

"Boss, 20 more bowls."

When the boss heard what the guest said, he smiled crookedly and put a basket of wontons directly into the pot.

Aunt Zhou who was passing by watched the boss put a basket of wontons directly into the pot and said repeatedly: "Hey, Lao Liu, business is good."

The owner of the wonton stall said with a smile: "Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. Have you eaten? If not, come and have some."

Aunt Zhou said: "I ate, I ate." Then she whispered to Lao Liu, the owner of the wonton stall, "Hey, have you heard? There will be executions in the square in Nancheng at [-]:[-] noon. I saw a lot of them." Everyone went to see it.”

Lao Liu said: "It's really free. If there is no execution on a day, what's there to see?"

Aunt Zhou shook her head: "Old Liu, the one who was beheaded today was Long Yingnan, who was a high-ranking official. There was also someone named Yu, oh, yes, Zhao Qianyu. If I couldn't see blood, I would Went too."

As soon as Lao Liu was about to speak, he saw the young man who had just ordered 20 bowls of wontons. He didn't know when he arrived next to him.

The young man's speed also shocked Aunt Zhou.

Lei Ze asked eagerly: "Zhao Qianyu, are you sure?"

Aunt Zhou was startled by this young man and stammered: "Yes...ah, I heard others say that."

After Aunt Zhou finished speaking, the young man disappeared like the wind.

The owner of the wonton stall looked at the table where they had just sat, and the two women were gone.

The boss was about to burst into tears and shouted, "No, I asked for 20 bowls of wontons and you haven't given me the money yet."

After saying that, a gold ingot fell directly from the sky and smashed into the boss's pot.

The boss didn't care about ironing it, so he directly picked up the gold ingot with his hands, bit it with his teeth, and was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Aunt Zhou was also surprised: "How much I want to watch the excitement." Then he looked up at the sun and said with emotion: "It should be almost three-quarter noon. I don't know if this hero will make it in time. Oh my, it's not cold today, it's quite warm."

The sun hangs high in the sky over Chihei City. Even though it is almost winter, the sun still emits a warm light, as if it wants to retain the last touch of autumn warmth.

In the execution ground, Long Yingnan looked at the high-hanging sun, and then at Zhao Qianyu, who was also tied up and kneeling on the ground next to him. Only then did he realize that it was all a game.

He was probably going to die. Long Yingnan recalled the memories of this life like a running lantern in his mind.

He was born into a merchant family. He was not rich, but he was still rich enough to have enough to eat and drink.

And he has been very good-looking since he was born. His father named him Long Yingnan, Yingnan Yingnan, Jin Xiangyuying, Dounan one.

Jin Xiangyuying means that he is good-looking, and Dounan means that his father hopes that his character or talents will be unique.

He is indeed very up to date, and just like his father hoped, his moral character and talents are among the best in the city.

Because of his talent and unique insights, Long Yingnan quickly passed the imperial examination in the Mortal City of Cangyan Dynasty. He became the chief historian of Chihei City and was the assistant officer of the city lord, a staff official.

I usually help collect documents and give some suggestions. Although he has no real power, he is indeed regarded as an official in the eyes of the people.

But his moral character and intelligence are very high, and he can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes. This makes some corrupt officials feel uneasy. Because of his existence, many of their improper transactions and plans cannot proceed smoothly.

However, Long Yingnan was not afraid of the slanting shadow. He believed that the sages' books he read would not lie to him. He believed that good deeds would be rewarded.

As the days passed, more and more people secretly targeted Long Yingnan, but there were also many people who supported Long Yingnan.

Until one day, Long Yingnan discovered something was wrong with the Ximen family's accounts. He reported it to the city lord, but the city lord just replied that he knew it, and there was nothing more to say.

After that, there were no problems with the Ximen family’s accounts.

Long Yingnan knew that this might be a tacit understanding between the city lord and the Ximen family.

This made Long Yingnan feel deeply disappointed and helpless. He once thought that the city lord was an upright man, but now it seemed that even the city lord could not resist the temptation of power and wealth.

The right hand of the city lord is him, and the left hand of the city lord is the head of the Ximen family, Ximen Xiaofan.

Normally, Ximen Xiaofan would at least meet and say hello, but after he reported the accounting problems of the city lord Ximen's family, the two of them became like strangers when they met.

As time went by, Long Yingnan discovered that many things were not as he imagined.

On the surface, the city lord has always listened to him, but in fact, he has been doing some strange things with the Ximen family secretly.

Long Yingnan increasingly realized that his principles had become a burden for him in this world full of intrigues.

To overthrow evil, justice alone will not do.

So Long Yingnan began to collect evidence, and intentionally or unintentionally planned things that could expose the Ximen family and the city lord.

After Long Yingnan prepared to collect them, he would directly expose them to the court above.

Although it went smoothly at first, the Ximen family and the city lord soon became wary. It was difficult for Long Yingnan to collect enough evidence.

This made Long Yingnan very frustrated, and he would often go to the pub to get drunk.

When it comes to failure in officialdom, success can often be found in love.

In the tavern that Long Yingnan frequented, he met Zhao Qianyu.

Zhao Qianyu was busy in the tavern as a maid. Her movements were graceful and cautious, but also a little tired.

When she poured wine for Long Yingnan, she accidentally spilled the wine on Long Yingnan's chest.

She suddenly became panicked and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I...I didn't notice."

Long Yingnan looked at her panicked eyes, but there was no trace of blame in his heart. He smiled slightly and comforted her: "It doesn't matter, it's just a piece of clothing."

Zhao Qianyu was still very frightened. She took out the silk scarf in her arms and wiped Long Yingnan's chest which was wet with wine.

Long Yingnan watched Zhao Qianyu wipe her clothes carefully. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was afraid of making any mistakes again. She frowned, looking deeply guilty for her mistake.

"Okay, okay, just pay attention next time." Long Yingnan comforted him softly again.

Zhao Qianyu hurriedly took back the silk scarf, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked a little embarrassed. She whispered: "Yes, I will pay attention and apologize to you again."

Long Yingnan smelled the lingering fragrance in the air and smiled unconsciously. He didn't know whether it was the girl's body fragrance or the fragrance of rouge. But this fragrance is very pleasant to Long Yingnan.

The raised corners of Long Yingnan's mouth did not fall down, and he raised the cup again and started drinking with his friend.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Long Yingnan finished his drink, but he always felt that someone was looking at him. He turned around and looked around, but he only saw the usual scenes in the tavern, the guests talking, the musicians who were careless, and the waiters serving the dishes.

Long Yingnan's eyes slowly wandered around the tavern, and finally stopped in a corner.

There, Zhao Qianyu's face was still flushed, and her eyes were staring at Long Yingnan, with guilt and a trace of imperceptible emotion in her eyes.

Zhao Qianyu quickly realized Long Yingnan's gaze, her face turned even redder, and she hurriedly lowered her head and continued the work at hand.
