Sunrise in the East - Smile Allure

Bai Bai's expression did not change, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that he was mistaken, this person's kung fu is simply ordinary, and Zhuangyuan Lang doesn't know martial arts, so he was scared by him?At this moment, the number one scholar slowed down, let out a breath, and asked He Qicheng with his neck straightened: "Do you agree to the second matter?"
He Qicheng pursed his lips, and secretly grabbed Dongfang Bubai's palm, telling him not to move.The elders of Old Wang's scholar clan had accepted the benefits of He Qicheng, and immediately took a step forward, smoothing things over and saying: "Although keeping filial piety is a matter of course, but this matter is not ordered by the chief shopkeeper, it can only be regarded as God's will, and there is nothing you can do about it. How about Just ask the head shopkeeper to send a few staff to guard the grave day and night, sir, do you think it is okay?"
Zhuangyuan Lang said angrily: "No! One of these three things is not allowed, let's see you in court!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on He Qicheng.He smiled slightly and asked: "Then what is the third thing you dare to ask? Why don't you talk about it together! Don't want He to agree to the first two things with great difficulty, but has another question on the third thing." Difficult."
Zhuangyuan Lang snorted coldly, and said, "It's easy to talk about the third thing. You and other profiteers, who persecute people's lives, can be regarded as Luoyang's first crime. Now that I have discovered it, the third thing is to kill the He family. Get out of Luoyang City from now on, and you are not allowed to step into Henan Mansion again!"
As soon as this remark came out, strange colors appeared on the faces of everyone.He Qicheng seemed to have expected that Zhuangyuan Lang would say this, he exhaled slowly, looked around with a half-smile, and said with a smile: "Is it these three things? I have one more thing here, how about Let’s add it too!”
Seeing that there was a great promise in his words, everyone couldn't help but secretly surprised at He Qicheng's courage.You must know that although the He family has only been operating in Luoyang City for more than ten years, it has already faintly surpassed its peers. The annual income of various shops is at least 10 taels.He Qicheng's move is tantamount to cutting off a strong man's wrist, and it is thanks to him that he is willing to make such a sacrifice in order to settle the lawsuit.When Wang Yuanba heard this, he couldn't help smiling, and the two golden gallbladders in his left hand twirled more and more happily.
Zhuangyuan Lang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
He Qicheng took out a thin sheet of paper from his sleeve, and gently unfolded it: "This is the IOU of Old Master Wang. Since the other person has passed away, it is better to destroy this IOU." After speaking, he put the IOU in his hand on the candlelight go.
"Wait a minute!" Zhuangyuan Lang quickly reached out and grabbed He Qicheng's arm, grabbing the IOU in his hand.He thought to himself, saying that the He family usury forced people to die, after all, it was just hearsay, there was no real evidence in hand, and the interest rate was all based on circumstantial evidence.If the He family bites to death and lends to another family, it is "nine out and thirteen returns", but lending to Old Scholar Wang is only [-]% of the profit, then it will be very bad.If you can keep the IOU in your hand at this time, you will no longer be afraid that the He family will pull out some tricks.
He said loudly, "How can the teacher's calligraphy be easily destroyed", while scanning the handwriting on the paper.I saw that it was written clearly on the IOU that on a certain day, a certain month and a certain year, because I had no money to bury my old wife, I borrowed a certain amount of silver, and agreed on the term and interest. Take it easy.With a dazed expression on his face, he said with tears in his voice, "Sir, you died so badly! If the student could arrive three days earlier, you wouldn't have to die!"
On the side, He Qicheng hurriedly said, "I would like to express my condolences to the number one scholar. The number one scholar can be named on the gold list, and in Glory Township, Old Master Wang must be happy in the spirit of heaven. This excuse..."
Zhuangyuan Lang cut his mouth and said: "Of course I can't burn the IOU. I want to keep my master's calligraphy well. Seeing the words is like seeing a person. In the future, if the emperor does not give up, I can let it go, so I can always remind myself that the disaster of a profiteer is worse than that of a tiger." reason!"
He Qicheng was not annoyed when he heard that every sentence he said was full of guns and sticks. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Zhuangyuan Lang taught me a very good lesson." Said: "Oh, wrong, wrong!"
Zhuangyuan Lang frowned: "What's wrong?"
He Qicheng smiled wryly and said: "A few days ago, I asked the subordinates to look for Old Master Wang's IOU, but by chance, the governor found two similar IOUs, not only the reason for the loan was similar, the date was similar, even the signature of the borrower was similar. Do you think it’s a coincidence? I quickly ordered someone to compare Mr. Wang’s handwriting before he was alive, and then I could tell which one was written by his old man, and it was placed in the sleeve of his left hand. I was confused just now, and I took it upside down! One is not an IOU from Mr. Wang. Look at the signature, it is clearly Wang Yitian, not Wang Yifu!"
Zhuangyuan Lang frowned and looked, isn't the small print on the signature just the words Wang Yitian?The handwriting on the IOU was scrawled, but he didn't see any difference just now, so he couldn't help being a little dazed.On the side, Wang Yuanba had already realized the key point, and couldn't help feeling anxious.Before he could open his mouth, he heard He Qicheng puzzled, "It's strange... According to what your lord said, Mrs. Wang is your first teacher, and taught you more than a dozen cold and hot days. How can you not recognize his handwriting?" He took out another thin sheet of paper from the sleeve of his left hand and unfolded it, shook his head and said, "Look at the fonts on these two sheets of paper are so different, even a layman like me can tell the difference. ...is there an eye disease?"
He Qicheng's words were extremely serious, and everyone at the side didn't know what to say, and secretly felt that it was very reasonable when they heard the words, and couldn't help looking into Zhuangyuan Lang's eyes.Only Dongfang Bubai had already seen that the note that He Qicheng took out first was the IOU that he begged himself to copy a few days ago. Of course, his handwriting could not be the same as that old scholar Wang.He Qicheng made a cover early in the morning to wait for Zhuangyuanlang to jump in, but he didn't know when he realized that Zhuangyuanlang and this old scholar Wang were not real teachers and students.
Once Zhuangyuan Lang reminded him, he immediately realized the flaw, and his face flushed red.Just as he was about to defend himself, he heard a crisp female voice coming from the direction of the door——
"Zhuangyuan Lang doesn't have eye problems, he is clearly blinded by gold, and he can't even recognize his mentor!"
Everyone couldn't help but looked up at the door, only to see a little girl in green shirt leading an old man in.The old man was about 60 years old, he was energetic, with three locks of beard, his silver hair was combed meticulously, his face was stern, and he looked like a celebrity.
When Zhuangyuan Lang saw this person, he couldn't help screaming.
Part17
Lu Fei led the old man into the house, Zhuangyuan Lang wanted to step forward to help, but the old man brushed Zhuang Yuanlang's hand away with a sneer, and stood in front of the spirit tablet with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's true that Zhuangyuan Lang's mentor is indeed surnamed Wang, but it's not Wang Yifu, Mr. Wang, but Mr. Wang Longxi. Am I right, Li Zhuangyuan, Mr. Li?" Shi Shi looked at Zhuangyuan Lang with contempt on his face, and his temper became more and more frank.Seeing that Zhuangyuan Lang was full of shame and did not refute, everyone immediately believed what Lu Fei said.
Lu Fei gave a salute to everyone, and said: "Li Zhuangyuan lost his father since he was young, and was raised by his mother with all her efforts. Wang Yifu, Mr. Wang, lived in the east of Luoyang City, and Li Zhuangyuan also lived in the east of the city when he was young. I want to worship him as a teacher. However, Li Zhuangyuan's mother was afraid that Mr. Wang's knowledge was not enough to teach her son, and Li Zhuangyuan showed extraordinary intelligence when he was three years old, so Li Zhuangyuan's mother chose a teacher. She was very cautious in matters. Finally, one year, she found out that there was a famous Confucian living in seclusion nearby, so she carried her son to Longyin Mountain, thirty miles outside Luoyang City, in the cold winter months. And the boss of Wang Longxi Man, he studied under Master Wang Shouren, a master of mind learning, and he was also the number one scholar in high school. After the death of Lord Wang Shouren, he kept a filial piety for his teacher for three years, and then went back to the mountains and forests to study in seclusion on Longyin Mountain. Li Zhuangyuan's mother was in the snow Kneeling for three days and three nights, Mrs. Wang was moved to accept Li Zhuangyuan and brought him up with him. This teaching lasted for 12 years. It was not until three years ago, when Li Zhuangyuan's mother passed away, that Mrs. Wang let Li Zhuangyuan go home Li Zhuangyuan was able to go down the mountain to attend the funeral and prepare for the exam. After Li Zhuangyuan returned to Luoyang City, he happened to meet Wang Yuanba, the master of the Golden Knife Gate. A courtyard is for Li Zhuangyuan to study and study. Half a year ago, Li Zhuangyuan went to Beijing to rush for the exam. Before he left, he went to see the teacher, took a lot of exam scriptures from Mr. Wang, and even got two letters of recommendation for important officials in the court Letter. Unexpectedly, only a few months later, Li Zhuangyuan was named on the gold list and returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, but this teacher's name was placed on the head of Wang Yifu, Wang Laofuzi, which is really weird!"
After Lu Fei finished speaking, everyone around looked at Zhuangyuan Lang's expressions and couldn't help but change.Although Lu Fei didn't name her name, the number one scholar in the city only had a close relationship with the Jindao Wang family, and the Wang family and the He family were rivals in the shopping malls. The Wang family secretly instigated Zhuang Yuanlang to coerce the He family?It's just that this scheme was buried extremely deep, and now that it was revealed in a single word, everyone felt that the scheming of the Golden Knife Wang family was horribly deep.
The No. [-] scholar still wanted to plead guilty to his mentor in a low voice, but the white-haired old man simply turned his back and walked to the window without even looking at his former lover.Lu Fei sneered and said: "Hmph! What a top scholar! Disrespecting his mother's teachings is unfilial, turning his face and denying his teacher is unrighteous, and learning to use public service for personal gain before taking office is unfaithful. If the emperor knew that he had appointed such an unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous person as the number one scholar, what would he think?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuangyuan Lang's face turned pale with fright, Qi Qi Ai Ai glanced at his mentor, and then turned back to look at Wang Yuanba.You must know that he dared to act like this because firstly, he was grateful for Wang Yuanba's care over the past three years; Will not know the past many years ago.What's more, he just got engaged to Wang Yuanba's granddaughter, helping Jindaomen is equivalent to helping himself.The officialdom is dangerous, and his background is shallow. If he doesn't have a solid family background to back him up, he may be unable to move forward in the future.He saw that the matter was exposed, according to today's nature, if the matter got out, he might not even be able to keep his neck and head, so he couldn't help sweating profusely, feeling panicked and at a loss.
After all, Yuanba, the king of that chamber, had weathered many storms.He knew that He Qicheng had caused this incident, and the only way to turn things around was to start with He Qicheng.If this matter becomes a big issue, and the emperor bleeds in anger, how can he be able to afford it with a little golden sword sect?Although a champion grandson-in-law is very rare, there are still trade-offs to avoid getting burned when necessary.After he figured it out, he didn't care about his face at the moment, bowed to He Qicheng and said, "Chief shopkeeper, this is really a big misunderstanding! I only met Zhuangyuan Lang three years ago, and I only know his master and the old man." They belong to the same family, and they are all surnamed Wang, but they don’t know who their surname is. Zhuangyuan Lang went to his hometown to visit his relatives, and came to the old man’s house. While chatting, the old man mentioned that a Mrs. Wang died in the city. As the saying goes, a small difference is a thousand miles away, but now that I think about it, it turned out that such a huge misunderstanding was caused by spreading rumors. I have always admired young talents like the chief shopkeeper, and I definitely don't mean anything!"
Lu Fei snapped back and said: "Young Master, you haven't said anything yet, why is the Master Wang so eager to confess? Zhuangyuan Lang, you should say something! Is your teacher Wang Yifu, Mr. Wang, or Mr. Wang Longxi? Don't let him People think I'm talking nonsense!"
Zhuangyuan Lang trembled like chaff, plopped and knelt behind the white-haired old man, and shouted tremblingly: "Sir! The student is wrong, the student knows it!" When he thought that the only two important officials he knew in Beijing were both It was through the recommendation of the teacher. If he broke up with the teacher at this time, he might never think of having a bright future in his life. After ten years of hard study, all of it was wasted, and he knocked his head repeatedly, even bleeding from his forehead. .
The old man had already made up his mind to sever ties with Zhuangyuan Lang, but seeing that half of his face was covered with blood, he thought that this person was after all his own raised disciple, his eyes flashed with unbearable expression, and he sighed softly He said in one voice: "Forget it, forget it, get up. If I knew this earlier, why bother. From now on... you can just do it yourself."
Zhuangyuanlang stood up for a while, his legs trembled and he was about to fall, Wang Yuanba hastily stretched out a hand and gave him a slight support, which made him stand up successfully.Zhuangyuan Lang, who was still in high spirits just now, was downcast like a frost-beaten eggplant after a while.Although the people on the side didn't say anything, they secretly despised his behavior in their hearts.Everyone thought to themselves, this Li Zhuangyuan is full of knowledge, but his conduct is really bad. He learned to bully others before he became an official.Among the gentry, there were some who were proud of Li Zhuangyuan, but at this moment, all of them couldn't help feeling annoyed that they were from the same hometown as such a person.
Seeing that the situation had been reversed, He Qicheng immediately sighed and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding! If this is the case, then I will discuss with the chief of the Wang clan about the matter of Mrs. Wang Yifu and Mrs. Wang."
Wang Yuanba and Zhuangyuan Lang saw that He Qicheng was willing to expose it lightly, so they dared to raise any conditions, they hurriedly said yes.He Qicheng said again: "Old Master Wang has worked hard to educate the place all his life. Although I am a businessman, I deeply admire it. I am willing to rebuild the cemetery for Old Master Wang and his wife, send people to take care of the incense every year, and hire Master to build a cemetery in the east of the city. How about calling this private school Shaw Hall after Mr. Wang?"
Everyone applauded in unison.You must know that repairing the tomb is just a superficial effort for the living to see. Old Scholar Wang has no descendants, and He Qicheng's willingness to do this is the best of humanity.However, investing in the establishment of a private school is a great move to benefit the people. From then on, many children in Luoyang City will benefit from it. How can people not praise it?
At the moment, the people no longer mentioned the matter of killing people with money from children and mothers, but praised He Qicheng's righteous deeds.He Qicheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and Lu Fei immediately went out to pass the banquet and came in. For a while, the cups and cups were intertwined, and there was no aura of tension just now.
Wang Longxi felt depressed, and secretly sighed that he had spent his whole life studying, but in the end he taught such a disciple, who only drank three cups before bowing his hands and saying goodbye to He Qicheng.Zhuangyuan Lang wanted to get up to see him off, but Wang Longxi didn't even look at him, but he didn't refuse He Qicheng's sending Lu Fei to send him off.After drinking for three rounds, Zhuangyuan Lang was still a little out of his mind, and the gentry around him were not too rude to face him. After a few flattering words during the banquet, Zhuangyuan Lang's face obviously improved.
After a while, Wang Jiajun came in to deliver a message for his father.When he saw He Qicheng, his complexion changed drastically, and he hurried to his grandfather and bowed his head and whispered a few words.Wang Yuanba frowned, his eyes wandered around He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai for a moment, his face revealed a strange expression.He Qicheng guessed that he had heard about the dispute between himself and his two grandsons a few days ago, but he didn't change his face, and continued to exchange drinks with everyone.
Dongfang Bubai was annoyed by Wang Yuanba's look, and thought to himself, if the old man dared to strike first, he would definitely be killed by his hands, so as to save He Qicheng from trouble in the future.After thinking about it, what trouble does He Qicheng have to do with him in the future, why should he rush to stand up for him?Thinking about it again, I feel that the Golden Sword Wang family can be regarded as an orthodox sect. I heard that there is also a grandson Lin Pingzhi who joined the Huashan sect. It's perfectly normal to kill him, and it's definitely not because of He Qicheng's face that he wants to do it.I felt relieved immediately.
Wang Yuanba of that side was somewhat uncertain about Dongfang Bubai's martial arts.He heard from Wang Jiajun that it was this person who caused Wang Jiaju to fall and break his mind, but after Wang Jiaju woke up, although his mind was blank, he still remembered that Dongfang Bubai had never met him, and Wang Jiajun also said that he hadn't seen him. Dongfang Bubai made a move. Was it because Dongfang Bubai's martial arts skills were too high and his two grandchildren didn't realize it, or was it just an accident?It's just that he just reconciled with He Qicheng, but now it's inconvenient to make a move. He raised his glass to Dongfang Bubai and said, "I think this little brother has extraordinary skills. Dare I ask Gao's name, who is his apprentice?"
Everyone on the side couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this.They had already seen that the man next to He Qicheng was not an ordinary person, but they did not expect that this man was born in the Jianghu.Even Wang Yuanba, who is invincible in the golden sword, said that his skills are extraordinary, presumably the skills under his hands must not be simple, and he couldn't help but think a little bit more about He Qicheng.
Dongfang Bubai sneered and said, "You are not worthy of knowing my name."
As soon as this statement came out, let alone Wang Jiajun behind Wang Yuanba, even Wang Yuanba himself could not help but change color.Dongfang Bubai didn't even look at Wang's grandparents, stretched out his hand to cover his wine glass, pressed down lightly, and actually pressed a whole white porcelain wine glass into the nanmu tabletop!
Dongfang Bubai showed such kung fu, all the people at the banquet couldn't help gasping, and the grandparents of the Wang family were so shocked that they couldn't even speak.They are different from ordinary people, so they naturally know that it is extremely difficult for ordinary masters to do this.What's more, Dongfang Bubai is not a hard slap, and the internal strength required for slow strength is more than ten times that of rapid strength?
Wang Yuanba thought to himself, let alone saying that he could not do this, it might not be easy for the world's top masters, such as Master Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple and Daoist Chongxu of Wudang School.The high level of martial arts of this person is truly unbelievable!He said that he did not deserve to know his name, but he was right.Although this person looks young on the outside, it is hard to guarantee that he is not some reclusive expert, whose inner strength is so deep that he can already keep his face.When Wang Yuanba thought that he was colluding with Zhuangyuanlang to force the He family to leave just now, he couldn't help sweating from the back, and he couldn't even hold the wine glass steadily.
Dongfang Bubai showed off his martial arts a little bit, put on a show and ate two chopsticks dishes under the terrified eyes of everyone, then turned his head to look at He Qicheng.When he saw He Qicheng's eyes were smiling, his heart skipped a beat.He Qicheng's lips moved slightly, "Brother is missing a cup, why not use mine!" But there was an extra white porcelain wine cup in his hand.Dongfang Bubai felt that his face was slightly hot, and he couldn't help frowning. He put the wine glass in front of him, but stopped drinking.
When the banquet was about to end, He Qicheng suddenly said to Zhuangyuan Lang: "Dare to ask my lord's teacher is Zhang Juzheng, lord Zhang?"
In the Ming Dynasty, all those who passed the examinations and Jinshi were called the examiners as "Zuoshi".After the announcement of the list, the high school candidates must come to visit and listen to the teacher's teachings within seven days.In fact, it's just to get along with the high officials in the court and ask for some advice, so that they can embark on the official career from now on.Calling the examiner "teacher" is just to express the meaning of intimacy, and there is not really a teacher-student relationship.At this time, Zhang Juzheng, who is also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is the chief examiner of this subject.
Zhuangyuan Lang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, nodded and said: "My next teacher is indeed Zhang Juzheng, Grand Master Zhang."
He Qicheng nodded and said: "I heard that you will return to Beijing in the future, can you please send a message to Master Zhang for me? Just say that after Jiangling's farewell, I miss you very much. I always want to have a drink with you again, but I have never been free. Go to the capital to visit. Fortunately, there are fewer common affairs this year, and after July, I will definitely come to visit in person."
Zhuangyuan Lang couldn't help being startled when he heard this.Zhang Juzheng was the second assistant of the current dynasty, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and the great scholar of Jianji Palace, he was an out-and-out first-rank official.Although he is the number one scholar in the new discipline, he sounds majestic, but in fact he is just a sixth-rank Zhima official compiled by the Imperial Academy.He Qicheng was able to get along with Zhang Juzheng, and the strength of the backstage was simply terrifying!
Wang Yuanba was also quite surprised.When I thought that I spent 3000 taels of gold to get a governor who had returned from old age to write a plaque for the gate of the house, but He Qicheng was able to have a good time with the second minister of the court, I immediately regretted it, and wished I could marry my granddaughter to He Qicheng That's good.
After a banquet, everyone paid respect to He Qicheng.He Qicheng secretly smiled in his heart, but his mouth was full of humility.He made all the gentry admire and appreciate him, and later showed courtesy to the He family's business in Luoyang, but it was beyond He Qicheng's expectation.
It wasn't until the last guest was sent away that He Qicheng finally couldn't help laughing at Dongfang Bubai: "Brother Dongfang, you really scared them to death! Now it's all right, we're done, we'll start tomorrow Go to Shaolin Temple!"
Dongfang Bubai thought to himself, you have brought out a high-ranking official to scare people, and now you are going to laugh at yourself for showing off your martial arts.Immediately don't turn your head and snort coldly, and after a long time, he hummed again to show that he knew.
Part18
Early the next morning, He Qicheng gathered all the shopkeepers of the He family's industries in Luoyang City at the inn.
Everyone had already heard about the power of He Qicheng last night, and they were glad that the lawsuit was finally settled, but they couldn't help but tremble with fear.
Originally, the old manager of Luoyang City relied on his old qualifications and never took He Qicheng, the new general manager, seriously.All the shopkeepers believed him to be his followers, and they naturally violated the rules issued by He Qicheng after he took office.Unexpectedly, the old steward said that if he didn't have it, he would be gone, and a huge mess would be left behind after his death.Although everyone sent a letter to ask He Qicheng to come to mediate, they actually didn't expect much from him, at least they had some intentions to pull him out of the tank.Unexpectedly, it took only three days for He Qicheng to turn Zhuangyuan Lang into a shrinking turtle. How can this skill and background not shock people?So when they heard that He Qicheng was calling, they rushed to the place early one by one, and stood respectfully waiting outside the inn door.
He Qicheng didn't talk for too long.He first appointed an honest and prudent person as the new Luoyang steward, and then reiterated to everyone the eight rules he had set at the beginning of his tenure, and mentioned that when building a private school, he also fined two people who had problems with their accounts. The shopkeeper waved the crowd to disperse.This time He Qicheng repeated the old saying, the shopkeepers dared not slack in the slightest, even though they slightly disagreed with one or two of them, they still nodded vigorously, vowing to keep these eight in mind.
So far, the matter of Luoyang has finally come to an end.He Qicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and while letting Lu Fei prepare to leave, he walked towards his house.On the way, he saw a person standing in the middle of the yard with an overturned tray lying on his feet. A snow-white robe was really eye-catching on the blue brick floor.
"Brother Dongfang has finished practicing?" He Qicheng saw that Dongfang Bubai's face was unhappy, rolled his eyes, smiled and pulled Dongfang Bubai's hands, "Why don't you come with me and have breakfast! Start early in the morning Busy, but I'm starving!"
Dongfang Bubai's face paled slightly, and he snorted coldly and said, "If it wasn't for your sake, I would have killed him long ago."
He Qicheng glanced at the robe on the ground, recognized that it was the object of a dispute with the Wang brothers a few days ago, and immediately smiled and said, "What? Wang Yuanba sent someone to bring it back again?"
Dongfang Bubai said coldly: "The visitor said that his surname is Li, and invited me to drink in Taibai Building!"
He Qicheng couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words: "Just you?" Seeing that Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly, he said to himself: "This is really strange! I just wanted to say that Zhuangyuan Lang is careful in his work, and I'm afraid that I will give him trouble in the future." Wearing small shoes, he brought the things here first. But why didn’t he come to invite me, instead he only invited you out? Ah, yes, ah, he must be seeing that Big Brother Dongfang is easier to talk to than me!”
He Qicheng's heart is clear, although Li Zhuangyuan is convincing, he doesn't bother to bow his head to a mere businessman of his own. Dongfang Bubai is a strange hero in the Jianghu, and it is not a shame to meet him, so he sent someone to invite Dongfang Bubai in private.As long as he can catch the line of Dongfang Bubai, his own end will be considered over.He Qicheng couldn't help laughing secretly, Zhuangyuan Lang didn't want to "decline his status", but he didn't care about drinking at the same table with a talented but not virtuous person!It's just that Dongfang Bubai said that if it wasn't for his own face, he would kill Zhuangyuan Lang, this arrogance is really unparalleled in the world.It makes people look happy!
The smile on his face became even wider at the moment, and he said gently: "Bringing an old robe as a gift, it seems that we have no clothes to wear. No wonder Brother Dongfang is unhappy. Come, come, let's drink Luoyang Hu spicy soup Go, there is no need to be angry with these irrelevant people!"
In fact, Li Zhuangyuan didn't compare to this robe even if he put it on his body.After Wang Jiaju's accident that day, Wang Jiajun cared about his brother, and never thought of this robe at all.On the contrary, it was Li Zhuangyuan who secretly went to the embroidery shop to inquire about Dongfang Bubai's figure and figure. He estimated that he would have someone make it up again before sending him to the inn to show his sincerity.
Dongfang Bubai heard that He Qicheng's words were very friendly, and most of his anger disappeared immediately.I thought to myself, this person can be said to be right once in a while, how could I please myself with just a piece of clothes?If it wasn't for He Qicheng's sake that day, I wouldn't even be interested in going into the store to have a look.It's just that He Qicheng has "we" on the left and "we" on the right. Why does it sound like he will be with him in the future in terms of basic necessities of life?
He practiced his kung fu first thing in the morning. He planned to go to He Qicheng, but was disturbed by a book boy. He was indeed a little hungry at this time, so he couldn't help smiling and said, "Aren't you from Huizhou? You also like spicy food. ?”
Hu spicy soup is a famous dish in Henan, and it is often paired with other dim sum for breakfast.Pay attention to the three characters of fragrant, thick and thick. It is as thick as porridge, spicy and delicious.However, Huizhou cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in the world, but it has always been known for its freshness. It is good at stewing, but rarely spicy.That's why Dongfang Bubai asked this question.
He Qicheng smiled and said: "You should try everything in this world, eating, drinking, having fun, love and hatred, it would be a pity to miss any of them."
Dongfang Bubai couldn't help saying: "Then you also want to try murder and set fire?"
The smile on He Qicheng's face suddenly became stronger: "I couldn't do murder and arson. But if Brother Dongfang kindly invites you, I can give up my life to accompany you."
He said these two sentences nondescriptly, coupled with the weird expression on his face, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but turn his face away: "Eat as much as you want, but you want to be so long-winded!" But he never thought that it was he who asked He Qicheng. So to speak.
He Qicheng blinked twice, pulled Dongfang Bubai's arm and walked out, not forgetting to say loudly: "Decree!"
After two bowls of hot soup went down, Lu Fei came to report that the chariots and horses were ready.He Qicheng packed six more golden corn pancakes, and then boarded the carriage with Dongfang Bubai.
Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain in Songshan Mountain, only a hundred miles away from Luoyang, if you walk quickly, you can reach it in a day.He Qicheng was not in a hurry, stopped and stopped along the way, rested at the foot of Songshan Mountain for one night, and went up the mountain with Dongfang Bubai for a tour the next day.
Songshan is in the middle of the five mountains, so it is called Zhongyue.The mountains are undulating but there are few strange peaks. They are majestic and upright, like a sleeping dragon lying in the wild. The 72 peaks are in different shapes and gather the essence of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. It is one of the best famous mountains in the world.Since He Qicheng took over the post of chief shopkeeper, he rarely had such time to travel around the mountains and rivers, so he couldn't help being more interested.He didn't understand the origin of those inscriptions and inscriptions in the mountains. Dongfang Bubai had visited Songshan Mountain several times in the past, and he was very familiar with it.
When the two of them reached the middle of the mountain, they were stopped by several disciples guarding the mountain, saying that the Wuyue Sword Sect held a grand ceremony here on March [-]th, and that no one else was allowed to go up the mountain, and only allowed to pass after the ceremony.He Qicheng explained that he didn't want to be sent to Songshan Mountain, but just wanted to turn over this mountain and go to Shaoshi Mountain.But the other party insisted that this place is already the territory of Songshan School, and they are only allowed to take a detour and not go up the mountain until the ceremony is over.
He Qicheng couldn't help frowning, not only would it take twice as long to go around from the foot of the mountain to Shaoshi Mountain, but there were also few scenic spots to enjoy along the way, which was naturally a big disappointment.He saw that a few tourists who were visiting the mountains were stopped, but not many locals passed through, so he knew that the people nearby should have been notified long ago, and the grand ceremony for this kind of thing must have been prepared for a long time.
Just as he was thinking, the four Songshan disciples in front of him suddenly collapsed silently.He Qicheng couldn't help being startled, and turned to look at Dongfang Bubai.But Dongfang Bubai whispered in his ear: "They won't be able to wake up for a while. Let's go!"
He Qicheng couldn't help secretly praising, Dongfang Bubai's martial arts are really high-strength, he has already subdued the four of them before he knew it.But he didn't know that Dongfang Bubai had more than restrained four people, he moved his fingers slightly, and even the Songshan disciple who was hidden in the dark was touched by him.If Shaolin and Wudang were not worried about this time and sent a grand ceremony, it is very likely that Shaolin and Wudang would come to watch the ceremony. It is not appropriate to expose Xingzang before the completion of martial arts, and there should be several corpses lying on the ground at this time.
The two walked for a while, Dongfang Bubai suddenly said: "Do you want to go to see their joint ceremony?" But he has very strong ears, and he has already heard the shouts of the heroes.
He Qicheng asked: "But I don't know how to merge the Five Sacred Sword Schools?"
"Naturally, it is a martial arts competition to judge the winner or loser. Zuo Lengchan is so arrogant that he chose the place of the martial arts competition on the emperor's old son's Fengchan platform!" Dongfang Bubai sneered, but forgot that he was the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect. , the style is comparable to that of the emperor, but Zuo Lengchan is far inferior to him in terms of pride.
He Qicheng had never seen such a martial arts competition, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and said in a low voice: "I want to go. But what if someone finds out?"
Dongfang Bubai said: "There are so many people on the peak, who can tell that you and I are among them? The reason why you were stopped just now is because you really don't look like a person in the Jianghu. Anyone distracted by looking around?"
When He Qicheng heard it, he felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately held Dongfang Bubai's hand: "Let's go!" There was excitement in his eyes.
Since Dongfang Bubai met He Qicheng, he has been unable to act according to the rules of the world, and he endured it again and again, really aggrieved.At this time, I took Heqi City to the Fengchan Terrace, since this person's life is in my hands, and I can only protect it with my own efforts, so I can't help feeling very happy.He thought to himself, although he can't win the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect to do it, but it is still necessary to play by ear and show his prestige in front of He Qicheng later.
While thinking about it, I suddenly heard a burst of applause from the heroes in the distance...
Part19
He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai walked towards the crowded place.There were one or two disciples standing guard along the way, Dongfang Bubai let his momentum out a little, he didn't even dare to come forward to ask the person who came after his eyes were swept away, and let the two of them in along the way.
When they came to the Fengchan Stage, it was time for Yue Lingshan to compete swords with Mr. Mo Da. Everyone in the audience saw that she, a second-generation female disciple of the Huashan School, was able to use the Hengshan School's swordsmanship to fight evenly with the head of the Hengshan School, and they all applauded.
Dongfang Bubai saw Linghu Chong among a group of nuns at a glance, and couldn't help being secretly surprised.He thought to himself, Linghu Chong went to Heimuya together with Ren Woxing, and he is also Ren Yingying's lover, how come he is mixed among the nuns of Hengshan School and still ranks first?But at this time, it's okay to meet him, and then quietly kill this person, or cut off Ren Woxing's right-hand man.However, it is necessary to do it quietly so as not to arouse suspicion.
He was concerned that he had met Linghu Chong face to face, and even though his attire was quite different, he still had to guard against it, so he turned sideways and hid half of his body behind He Qicheng.But suddenly he saw not far from Linghu Chong, a tall man with a beard standing against a stone, he looked familiar.Dongfang Bubai has a very deep experience in Jianghu, and after a little observation, it can be seen that this person has undergone a disguise. The original figure is not only not bloated, nor even a man, but a woman with a graceful figure.He vaguely felt that this person looked somewhat familiar, and when he thought about it carefully, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his heart. This person was not Ren Yingying, the holy lady of the Sun Moon God Sect whom he had grown up with, but who was it?
Dongfang Bubai thought to himself, Ren Yingying was no better than Linghu Chong, she would definitely be able to tell her identity at a glance by his appearance at this time.At the moment, her footsteps moved slightly, and she was a little closer to He Qicheng, so that Ren Yingying could use the angle of sight to let Ren Yingying
He Qicheng pursed his lips, and secretly grabbed Dongfang Bubai's palm, telling him not to move.The elders of Old Wang's scholar clan had accepted the benefits of He Qicheng, and immediately took a step forward, smoothing things over and saying: "Although keeping filial piety is a matter of course, but this matter is not ordered by the chief shopkeeper, it can only be regarded as God's will, and there is nothing you can do about it. How about Just ask the head shopkeeper to send a few staff to guard the grave day and night, sir, do you think it is okay?"
Zhuangyuan Lang said angrily: "No! One of these three things is not allowed, let's see you in court!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on He Qicheng.He smiled slightly and asked: "Then what is the third thing you dare to ask? Why don't you talk about it together! Don't want He to agree to the first two things with great difficulty, but has another question on the third thing." Difficult."
Zhuangyuan Lang snorted coldly, and said, "It's easy to talk about the third thing. You and other profiteers, who persecute people's lives, can be regarded as Luoyang's first crime. Now that I have discovered it, the third thing is to kill the He family. Get out of Luoyang City from now on, and you are not allowed to step into Henan Mansion again!"
As soon as this remark came out, strange colors appeared on the faces of everyone.He Qicheng seemed to have expected that Zhuangyuan Lang would say this, he exhaled slowly, looked around with a half-smile, and said with a smile: "Is it these three things? I have one more thing here, how about Let’s add it too!”
Seeing that there was a great promise in his words, everyone couldn't help but secretly surprised at He Qicheng's courage.You must know that although the He family has only been operating in Luoyang City for more than ten years, it has already faintly surpassed its peers. The annual income of various shops is at least 10 taels.He Qicheng's move is tantamount to cutting off a strong man's wrist, and it is thanks to him that he is willing to make such a sacrifice in order to settle the lawsuit.When Wang Yuanba heard this, he couldn't help smiling, and the two golden gallbladders in his left hand twirled more and more happily.
Zhuangyuan Lang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
He Qicheng took out a thin sheet of paper from his sleeve, and gently unfolded it: "This is the IOU of Old Master Wang. Since the other person has passed away, it is better to destroy this IOU." After speaking, he put the IOU in his hand on the candlelight go.
"Wait a minute!" Zhuangyuan Lang quickly reached out and grabbed He Qicheng's arm, grabbing the IOU in his hand.He thought to himself, saying that the He family usury forced people to die, after all, it was just hearsay, there was no real evidence in hand, and the interest rate was all based on circumstantial evidence.If the He family bites to death and lends to another family, it is "nine out and thirteen returns", but lending to Old Scholar Wang is only [-]% of the profit, then it will be very bad.If you can keep the IOU in your hand at this time, you will no longer be afraid that the He family will pull out some tricks.
He said loudly, "How can the teacher's calligraphy be easily destroyed", while scanning the handwriting on the paper.I saw that it was written clearly on the IOU that on a certain day, a certain month and a certain year, because I had no money to bury my old wife, I borrowed a certain amount of silver, and agreed on the term and interest. Take it easy.With a dazed expression on his face, he said with tears in his voice, "Sir, you died so badly! If the student could arrive three days earlier, you wouldn't have to die!"
On the side, He Qicheng hurriedly said, "I would like to express my condolences to the number one scholar. The number one scholar can be named on the gold list, and in Glory Township, Old Master Wang must be happy in the spirit of heaven. This excuse..."
Zhuangyuan Lang cut his mouth and said: "Of course I can't burn the IOU. I want to keep my master's calligraphy well. Seeing the words is like seeing a person. In the future, if the emperor does not give up, I can let it go, so I can always remind myself that the disaster of a profiteer is worse than that of a tiger." reason!"
He Qicheng was not annoyed when he heard that every sentence he said was full of guns and sticks. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Zhuangyuan Lang taught me a very good lesson." Said: "Oh, wrong, wrong!"
Zhuangyuan Lang frowned: "What's wrong?"
He Qicheng smiled wryly and said: "A few days ago, I asked the subordinates to look for Old Master Wang's IOU, but by chance, the governor found two similar IOUs, not only the reason for the loan was similar, the date was similar, even the signature of the borrower was similar. Do you think it’s a coincidence? I quickly ordered someone to compare Mr. Wang’s handwriting before he was alive, and then I could tell which one was written by his old man, and it was placed in the sleeve of his left hand. I was confused just now, and I took it upside down! One is not an IOU from Mr. Wang. Look at the signature, it is clearly Wang Yitian, not Wang Yifu!"
Zhuangyuan Lang frowned and looked, isn't the small print on the signature just the words Wang Yitian?The handwriting on the IOU was scrawled, but he didn't see any difference just now, so he couldn't help being a little dazed.On the side, Wang Yuanba had already realized the key point, and couldn't help feeling anxious.Before he could open his mouth, he heard He Qicheng puzzled, "It's strange... According to what your lord said, Mrs. Wang is your first teacher, and taught you more than a dozen cold and hot days. How can you not recognize his handwriting?" He took out another thin sheet of paper from the sleeve of his left hand and unfolded it, shook his head and said, "Look at the fonts on these two sheets of paper are so different, even a layman like me can tell the difference. ...is there an eye disease?"
He Qicheng's words were extremely serious, and everyone at the side didn't know what to say, and secretly felt that it was very reasonable when they heard the words, and couldn't help looking into Zhuangyuan Lang's eyes.Only Dongfang Bubai had already seen that the note that He Qicheng took out first was the IOU that he begged himself to copy a few days ago. Of course, his handwriting could not be the same as that old scholar Wang.He Qicheng made a cover early in the morning to wait for Zhuangyuanlang to jump in, but he didn't know when he realized that Zhuangyuanlang and this old scholar Wang were not real teachers and students.
Once Zhuangyuan Lang reminded him, he immediately realized the flaw, and his face flushed red.Just as he was about to defend himself, he heard a crisp female voice coming from the direction of the door——
"Zhuangyuan Lang doesn't have eye problems, he is clearly blinded by gold, and he can't even recognize his mentor!"
Everyone couldn't help but looked up at the door, only to see a little girl in green shirt leading an old man in.The old man was about 60 years old, he was energetic, with three locks of beard, his silver hair was combed meticulously, his face was stern, and he looked like a celebrity.
When Zhuangyuan Lang saw this person, he couldn't help screaming.
Part17
Lu Fei led the old man into the house, Zhuangyuan Lang wanted to step forward to help, but the old man brushed Zhuang Yuanlang's hand away with a sneer, and stood in front of the spirit tablet with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's true that Zhuangyuan Lang's mentor is indeed surnamed Wang, but it's not Wang Yifu, Mr. Wang, but Mr. Wang Longxi. Am I right, Li Zhuangyuan, Mr. Li?" Shi Shi looked at Zhuangyuan Lang with contempt on his face, and his temper became more and more frank.Seeing that Zhuangyuan Lang was full of shame and did not refute, everyone immediately believed what Lu Fei said.
Lu Fei gave a salute to everyone, and said: "Li Zhuangyuan lost his father since he was young, and was raised by his mother with all her efforts. Wang Yifu, Mr. Wang, lived in the east of Luoyang City, and Li Zhuangyuan also lived in the east of the city when he was young. I want to worship him as a teacher. However, Li Zhuangyuan's mother was afraid that Mr. Wang's knowledge was not enough to teach her son, and Li Zhuangyuan showed extraordinary intelligence when he was three years old, so Li Zhuangyuan's mother chose a teacher. She was very cautious in matters. Finally, one year, she found out that there was a famous Confucian living in seclusion nearby, so she carried her son to Longyin Mountain, thirty miles outside Luoyang City, in the cold winter months. And the boss of Wang Longxi Man, he studied under Master Wang Shouren, a master of mind learning, and he was also the number one scholar in high school. After the death of Lord Wang Shouren, he kept a filial piety for his teacher for three years, and then went back to the mountains and forests to study in seclusion on Longyin Mountain. Li Zhuangyuan's mother was in the snow Kneeling for three days and three nights, Mrs. Wang was moved to accept Li Zhuangyuan and brought him up with him. This teaching lasted for 12 years. It was not until three years ago, when Li Zhuangyuan's mother passed away, that Mrs. Wang let Li Zhuangyuan go home Li Zhuangyuan was able to go down the mountain to attend the funeral and prepare for the exam. After Li Zhuangyuan returned to Luoyang City, he happened to meet Wang Yuanba, the master of the Golden Knife Gate. A courtyard is for Li Zhuangyuan to study and study. Half a year ago, Li Zhuangyuan went to Beijing to rush for the exam. Before he left, he went to see the teacher, took a lot of exam scriptures from Mr. Wang, and even got two letters of recommendation for important officials in the court Letter. Unexpectedly, only a few months later, Li Zhuangyuan was named on the gold list and returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, but this teacher's name was placed on the head of Wang Yifu, Wang Laofuzi, which is really weird!"
After Lu Fei finished speaking, everyone around looked at Zhuangyuan Lang's expressions and couldn't help but change.Although Lu Fei didn't name her name, the number one scholar in the city only had a close relationship with the Jindao Wang family, and the Wang family and the He family were rivals in the shopping malls. The Wang family secretly instigated Zhuang Yuanlang to coerce the He family?It's just that this scheme was buried extremely deep, and now that it was revealed in a single word, everyone felt that the scheming of the Golden Knife Wang family was horribly deep.
The No. [-] scholar still wanted to plead guilty to his mentor in a low voice, but the white-haired old man simply turned his back and walked to the window without even looking at his former lover.Lu Fei sneered and said: "Hmph! What a top scholar! Disrespecting his mother's teachings is unfilial, turning his face and denying his teacher is unrighteous, and learning to use public service for personal gain before taking office is unfaithful. If the emperor knew that he had appointed such an unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous person as the number one scholar, what would he think?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuangyuan Lang's face turned pale with fright, Qi Qi Ai Ai glanced at his mentor, and then turned back to look at Wang Yuanba.You must know that he dared to act like this because firstly, he was grateful for Wang Yuanba's care over the past three years; Will not know the past many years ago.What's more, he just got engaged to Wang Yuanba's granddaughter, helping Jindaomen is equivalent to helping himself.The officialdom is dangerous, and his background is shallow. If he doesn't have a solid family background to back him up, he may be unable to move forward in the future.He saw that the matter was exposed, according to today's nature, if the matter got out, he might not even be able to keep his neck and head, so he couldn't help sweating profusely, feeling panicked and at a loss.
After all, Yuanba, the king of that chamber, had weathered many storms.He knew that He Qicheng had caused this incident, and the only way to turn things around was to start with He Qicheng.If this matter becomes a big issue, and the emperor bleeds in anger, how can he be able to afford it with a little golden sword sect?Although a champion grandson-in-law is very rare, there are still trade-offs to avoid getting burned when necessary.After he figured it out, he didn't care about his face at the moment, bowed to He Qicheng and said, "Chief shopkeeper, this is really a big misunderstanding! I only met Zhuangyuan Lang three years ago, and I only know his master and the old man." They belong to the same family, and they are all surnamed Wang, but they don’t know who their surname is. Zhuangyuan Lang went to his hometown to visit his relatives, and came to the old man’s house. While chatting, the old man mentioned that a Mrs. Wang died in the city. As the saying goes, a small difference is a thousand miles away, but now that I think about it, it turned out that such a huge misunderstanding was caused by spreading rumors. I have always admired young talents like the chief shopkeeper, and I definitely don't mean anything!"
Lu Fei snapped back and said: "Young Master, you haven't said anything yet, why is the Master Wang so eager to confess? Zhuangyuan Lang, you should say something! Is your teacher Wang Yifu, Mr. Wang, or Mr. Wang Longxi? Don't let him People think I'm talking nonsense!"
Zhuangyuan Lang trembled like chaff, plopped and knelt behind the white-haired old man, and shouted tremblingly: "Sir! The student is wrong, the student knows it!" When he thought that the only two important officials he knew in Beijing were both It was through the recommendation of the teacher. If he broke up with the teacher at this time, he might never think of having a bright future in his life. After ten years of hard study, all of it was wasted, and he knocked his head repeatedly, even bleeding from his forehead. .
The old man had already made up his mind to sever ties with Zhuangyuan Lang, but seeing that half of his face was covered with blood, he thought that this person was after all his own raised disciple, his eyes flashed with unbearable expression, and he sighed softly He said in one voice: "Forget it, forget it, get up. If I knew this earlier, why bother. From now on... you can just do it yourself."
Zhuangyuanlang stood up for a while, his legs trembled and he was about to fall, Wang Yuanba hastily stretched out a hand and gave him a slight support, which made him stand up successfully.Zhuangyuan Lang, who was still in high spirits just now, was downcast like a frost-beaten eggplant after a while.Although the people on the side didn't say anything, they secretly despised his behavior in their hearts.Everyone thought to themselves, this Li Zhuangyuan is full of knowledge, but his conduct is really bad. He learned to bully others before he became an official.Among the gentry, there were some who were proud of Li Zhuangyuan, but at this moment, all of them couldn't help feeling annoyed that they were from the same hometown as such a person.
Seeing that the situation had been reversed, He Qicheng immediately sighed and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding! If this is the case, then I will discuss with the chief of the Wang clan about the matter of Mrs. Wang Yifu and Mrs. Wang."
Wang Yuanba and Zhuangyuan Lang saw that He Qicheng was willing to expose it lightly, so they dared to raise any conditions, they hurriedly said yes.He Qicheng said again: "Old Master Wang has worked hard to educate the place all his life. Although I am a businessman, I deeply admire it. I am willing to rebuild the cemetery for Old Master Wang and his wife, send people to take care of the incense every year, and hire Master to build a cemetery in the east of the city. How about calling this private school Shaw Hall after Mr. Wang?"
Everyone applauded in unison.You must know that repairing the tomb is just a superficial effort for the living to see. Old Scholar Wang has no descendants, and He Qicheng's willingness to do this is the best of humanity.However, investing in the establishment of a private school is a great move to benefit the people. From then on, many children in Luoyang City will benefit from it. How can people not praise it?
At the moment, the people no longer mentioned the matter of killing people with money from children and mothers, but praised He Qicheng's righteous deeds.He Qicheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and Lu Fei immediately went out to pass the banquet and came in. For a while, the cups and cups were intertwined, and there was no aura of tension just now.
Wang Longxi felt depressed, and secretly sighed that he had spent his whole life studying, but in the end he taught such a disciple, who only drank three cups before bowing his hands and saying goodbye to He Qicheng.Zhuangyuan Lang wanted to get up to see him off, but Wang Longxi didn't even look at him, but he didn't refuse He Qicheng's sending Lu Fei to send him off.After drinking for three rounds, Zhuangyuan Lang was still a little out of his mind, and the gentry around him were not too rude to face him. After a few flattering words during the banquet, Zhuangyuan Lang's face obviously improved.
After a while, Wang Jiajun came in to deliver a message for his father.When he saw He Qicheng, his complexion changed drastically, and he hurried to his grandfather and bowed his head and whispered a few words.Wang Yuanba frowned, his eyes wandered around He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai for a moment, his face revealed a strange expression.He Qicheng guessed that he had heard about the dispute between himself and his two grandsons a few days ago, but he didn't change his face, and continued to exchange drinks with everyone.
Dongfang Bubai was annoyed by Wang Yuanba's look, and thought to himself, if the old man dared to strike first, he would definitely be killed by his hands, so as to save He Qicheng from trouble in the future.After thinking about it, what trouble does He Qicheng have to do with him in the future, why should he rush to stand up for him?Thinking about it again, I feel that the Golden Sword Wang family can be regarded as an orthodox sect. I heard that there is also a grandson Lin Pingzhi who joined the Huashan sect. It's perfectly normal to kill him, and it's definitely not because of He Qicheng's face that he wants to do it.I felt relieved immediately.
Wang Yuanba of that side was somewhat uncertain about Dongfang Bubai's martial arts.He heard from Wang Jiajun that it was this person who caused Wang Jiaju to fall and break his mind, but after Wang Jiaju woke up, although his mind was blank, he still remembered that Dongfang Bubai had never met him, and Wang Jiajun also said that he hadn't seen him. Dongfang Bubai made a move. Was it because Dongfang Bubai's martial arts skills were too high and his two grandchildren didn't realize it, or was it just an accident?It's just that he just reconciled with He Qicheng, but now it's inconvenient to make a move. He raised his glass to Dongfang Bubai and said, "I think this little brother has extraordinary skills. Dare I ask Gao's name, who is his apprentice?"
Everyone on the side couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this.They had already seen that the man next to He Qicheng was not an ordinary person, but they did not expect that this man was born in the Jianghu.Even Wang Yuanba, who is invincible in the golden sword, said that his skills are extraordinary, presumably the skills under his hands must not be simple, and he couldn't help but think a little bit more about He Qicheng.
Dongfang Bubai sneered and said, "You are not worthy of knowing my name."
As soon as this statement came out, let alone Wang Jiajun behind Wang Yuanba, even Wang Yuanba himself could not help but change color.Dongfang Bubai didn't even look at Wang's grandparents, stretched out his hand to cover his wine glass, pressed down lightly, and actually pressed a whole white porcelain wine glass into the nanmu tabletop!
Dongfang Bubai showed such kung fu, all the people at the banquet couldn't help gasping, and the grandparents of the Wang family were so shocked that they couldn't even speak.They are different from ordinary people, so they naturally know that it is extremely difficult for ordinary masters to do this.What's more, Dongfang Bubai is not a hard slap, and the internal strength required for slow strength is more than ten times that of rapid strength?
Wang Yuanba thought to himself, let alone saying that he could not do this, it might not be easy for the world's top masters, such as Master Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple and Daoist Chongxu of Wudang School.The high level of martial arts of this person is truly unbelievable!He said that he did not deserve to know his name, but he was right.Although this person looks young on the outside, it is hard to guarantee that he is not some reclusive expert, whose inner strength is so deep that he can already keep his face.When Wang Yuanba thought that he was colluding with Zhuangyuanlang to force the He family to leave just now, he couldn't help sweating from the back, and he couldn't even hold the wine glass steadily.
Dongfang Bubai showed off his martial arts a little bit, put on a show and ate two chopsticks dishes under the terrified eyes of everyone, then turned his head to look at He Qicheng.When he saw He Qicheng's eyes were smiling, his heart skipped a beat.He Qicheng's lips moved slightly, "Brother is missing a cup, why not use mine!" But there was an extra white porcelain wine cup in his hand.Dongfang Bubai felt that his face was slightly hot, and he couldn't help frowning. He put the wine glass in front of him, but stopped drinking.
When the banquet was about to end, He Qicheng suddenly said to Zhuangyuan Lang: "Dare to ask my lord's teacher is Zhang Juzheng, lord Zhang?"
In the Ming Dynasty, all those who passed the examinations and Jinshi were called the examiners as "Zuoshi".After the announcement of the list, the high school candidates must come to visit and listen to the teacher's teachings within seven days.In fact, it's just to get along with the high officials in the court and ask for some advice, so that they can embark on the official career from now on.Calling the examiner "teacher" is just to express the meaning of intimacy, and there is not really a teacher-student relationship.At this time, Zhang Juzheng, who is also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is the chief examiner of this subject.
Zhuangyuan Lang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, nodded and said: "My next teacher is indeed Zhang Juzheng, Grand Master Zhang."
He Qicheng nodded and said: "I heard that you will return to Beijing in the future, can you please send a message to Master Zhang for me? Just say that after Jiangling's farewell, I miss you very much. I always want to have a drink with you again, but I have never been free. Go to the capital to visit. Fortunately, there are fewer common affairs this year, and after July, I will definitely come to visit in person."
Zhuangyuan Lang couldn't help being startled when he heard this.Zhang Juzheng was the second assistant of the current dynasty, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and the great scholar of Jianji Palace, he was an out-and-out first-rank official.Although he is the number one scholar in the new discipline, he sounds majestic, but in fact he is just a sixth-rank Zhima official compiled by the Imperial Academy.He Qicheng was able to get along with Zhang Juzheng, and the strength of the backstage was simply terrifying!
Wang Yuanba was also quite surprised.When I thought that I spent 3000 taels of gold to get a governor who had returned from old age to write a plaque for the gate of the house, but He Qicheng was able to have a good time with the second minister of the court, I immediately regretted it, and wished I could marry my granddaughter to He Qicheng That's good.
After a banquet, everyone paid respect to He Qicheng.He Qicheng secretly smiled in his heart, but his mouth was full of humility.He made all the gentry admire and appreciate him, and later showed courtesy to the He family's business in Luoyang, but it was beyond He Qicheng's expectation.
It wasn't until the last guest was sent away that He Qicheng finally couldn't help laughing at Dongfang Bubai: "Brother Dongfang, you really scared them to death! Now it's all right, we're done, we'll start tomorrow Go to Shaolin Temple!"
Dongfang Bubai thought to himself, you have brought out a high-ranking official to scare people, and now you are going to laugh at yourself for showing off your martial arts.Immediately don't turn your head and snort coldly, and after a long time, he hummed again to show that he knew.
Part18
Early the next morning, He Qicheng gathered all the shopkeepers of the He family's industries in Luoyang City at the inn.
Everyone had already heard about the power of He Qicheng last night, and they were glad that the lawsuit was finally settled, but they couldn't help but tremble with fear.
Originally, the old manager of Luoyang City relied on his old qualifications and never took He Qicheng, the new general manager, seriously.All the shopkeepers believed him to be his followers, and they naturally violated the rules issued by He Qicheng after he took office.Unexpectedly, the old steward said that if he didn't have it, he would be gone, and a huge mess would be left behind after his death.Although everyone sent a letter to ask He Qicheng to come to mediate, they actually didn't expect much from him, at least they had some intentions to pull him out of the tank.Unexpectedly, it took only three days for He Qicheng to turn Zhuangyuan Lang into a shrinking turtle. How can this skill and background not shock people?So when they heard that He Qicheng was calling, they rushed to the place early one by one, and stood respectfully waiting outside the inn door.
He Qicheng didn't talk for too long.He first appointed an honest and prudent person as the new Luoyang steward, and then reiterated to everyone the eight rules he had set at the beginning of his tenure, and mentioned that when building a private school, he also fined two people who had problems with their accounts. The shopkeeper waved the crowd to disperse.This time He Qicheng repeated the old saying, the shopkeepers dared not slack in the slightest, even though they slightly disagreed with one or two of them, they still nodded vigorously, vowing to keep these eight in mind.
So far, the matter of Luoyang has finally come to an end.He Qicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and while letting Lu Fei prepare to leave, he walked towards his house.On the way, he saw a person standing in the middle of the yard with an overturned tray lying on his feet. A snow-white robe was really eye-catching on the blue brick floor.
"Brother Dongfang has finished practicing?" He Qicheng saw that Dongfang Bubai's face was unhappy, rolled his eyes, smiled and pulled Dongfang Bubai's hands, "Why don't you come with me and have breakfast! Start early in the morning Busy, but I'm starving!"
Dongfang Bubai's face paled slightly, and he snorted coldly and said, "If it wasn't for your sake, I would have killed him long ago."
He Qicheng glanced at the robe on the ground, recognized that it was the object of a dispute with the Wang brothers a few days ago, and immediately smiled and said, "What? Wang Yuanba sent someone to bring it back again?"
Dongfang Bubai said coldly: "The visitor said that his surname is Li, and invited me to drink in Taibai Building!"
He Qicheng couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words: "Just you?" Seeing that Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly, he said to himself: "This is really strange! I just wanted to say that Zhuangyuan Lang is careful in his work, and I'm afraid that I will give him trouble in the future." Wearing small shoes, he brought the things here first. But why didn’t he come to invite me, instead he only invited you out? Ah, yes, ah, he must be seeing that Big Brother Dongfang is easier to talk to than me!”
He Qicheng's heart is clear, although Li Zhuangyuan is convincing, he doesn't bother to bow his head to a mere businessman of his own. Dongfang Bubai is a strange hero in the Jianghu, and it is not a shame to meet him, so he sent someone to invite Dongfang Bubai in private.As long as he can catch the line of Dongfang Bubai, his own end will be considered over.He Qicheng couldn't help laughing secretly, Zhuangyuan Lang didn't want to "decline his status", but he didn't care about drinking at the same table with a talented but not virtuous person!It's just that Dongfang Bubai said that if it wasn't for his own face, he would kill Zhuangyuan Lang, this arrogance is really unparalleled in the world.It makes people look happy!
The smile on his face became even wider at the moment, and he said gently: "Bringing an old robe as a gift, it seems that we have no clothes to wear. No wonder Brother Dongfang is unhappy. Come, come, let's drink Luoyang Hu spicy soup Go, there is no need to be angry with these irrelevant people!"
In fact, Li Zhuangyuan didn't compare to this robe even if he put it on his body.After Wang Jiaju's accident that day, Wang Jiajun cared about his brother, and never thought of this robe at all.On the contrary, it was Li Zhuangyuan who secretly went to the embroidery shop to inquire about Dongfang Bubai's figure and figure. He estimated that he would have someone make it up again before sending him to the inn to show his sincerity.
Dongfang Bubai heard that He Qicheng's words were very friendly, and most of his anger disappeared immediately.I thought to myself, this person can be said to be right once in a while, how could I please myself with just a piece of clothes?If it wasn't for He Qicheng's sake that day, I wouldn't even be interested in going into the store to have a look.It's just that He Qicheng has "we" on the left and "we" on the right. Why does it sound like he will be with him in the future in terms of basic necessities of life?
He practiced his kung fu first thing in the morning. He planned to go to He Qicheng, but was disturbed by a book boy. He was indeed a little hungry at this time, so he couldn't help smiling and said, "Aren't you from Huizhou? You also like spicy food. ?”
Hu spicy soup is a famous dish in Henan, and it is often paired with other dim sum for breakfast.Pay attention to the three characters of fragrant, thick and thick. It is as thick as porridge, spicy and delicious.However, Huizhou cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in the world, but it has always been known for its freshness. It is good at stewing, but rarely spicy.That's why Dongfang Bubai asked this question.
He Qicheng smiled and said: "You should try everything in this world, eating, drinking, having fun, love and hatred, it would be a pity to miss any of them."
Dongfang Bubai couldn't help saying: "Then you also want to try murder and set fire?"
The smile on He Qicheng's face suddenly became stronger: "I couldn't do murder and arson. But if Brother Dongfang kindly invites you, I can give up my life to accompany you."
He said these two sentences nondescriptly, coupled with the weird expression on his face, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but turn his face away: "Eat as much as you want, but you want to be so long-winded!" But he never thought that it was he who asked He Qicheng. So to speak.
He Qicheng blinked twice, pulled Dongfang Bubai's arm and walked out, not forgetting to say loudly: "Decree!"
After two bowls of hot soup went down, Lu Fei came to report that the chariots and horses were ready.He Qicheng packed six more golden corn pancakes, and then boarded the carriage with Dongfang Bubai.
Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain in Songshan Mountain, only a hundred miles away from Luoyang, if you walk quickly, you can reach it in a day.He Qicheng was not in a hurry, stopped and stopped along the way, rested at the foot of Songshan Mountain for one night, and went up the mountain with Dongfang Bubai for a tour the next day.
Songshan is in the middle of the five mountains, so it is called Zhongyue.The mountains are undulating but there are few strange peaks. They are majestic and upright, like a sleeping dragon lying in the wild. The 72 peaks are in different shapes and gather the essence of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. It is one of the best famous mountains in the world.Since He Qicheng took over the post of chief shopkeeper, he rarely had such time to travel around the mountains and rivers, so he couldn't help being more interested.He didn't understand the origin of those inscriptions and inscriptions in the mountains. Dongfang Bubai had visited Songshan Mountain several times in the past, and he was very familiar with it.
When the two of them reached the middle of the mountain, they were stopped by several disciples guarding the mountain, saying that the Wuyue Sword Sect held a grand ceremony here on March [-]th, and that no one else was allowed to go up the mountain, and only allowed to pass after the ceremony.He Qicheng explained that he didn't want to be sent to Songshan Mountain, but just wanted to turn over this mountain and go to Shaoshi Mountain.But the other party insisted that this place is already the territory of Songshan School, and they are only allowed to take a detour and not go up the mountain until the ceremony is over.
He Qicheng couldn't help frowning, not only would it take twice as long to go around from the foot of the mountain to Shaoshi Mountain, but there were also few scenic spots to enjoy along the way, which was naturally a big disappointment.He saw that a few tourists who were visiting the mountains were stopped, but not many locals passed through, so he knew that the people nearby should have been notified long ago, and the grand ceremony for this kind of thing must have been prepared for a long time.
Just as he was thinking, the four Songshan disciples in front of him suddenly collapsed silently.He Qicheng couldn't help being startled, and turned to look at Dongfang Bubai.But Dongfang Bubai whispered in his ear: "They won't be able to wake up for a while. Let's go!"
He Qicheng couldn't help secretly praising, Dongfang Bubai's martial arts are really high-strength, he has already subdued the four of them before he knew it.But he didn't know that Dongfang Bubai had more than restrained four people, he moved his fingers slightly, and even the Songshan disciple who was hidden in the dark was touched by him.If Shaolin and Wudang were not worried about this time and sent a grand ceremony, it is very likely that Shaolin and Wudang would come to watch the ceremony. It is not appropriate to expose Xingzang before the completion of martial arts, and there should be several corpses lying on the ground at this time.
The two walked for a while, Dongfang Bubai suddenly said: "Do you want to go to see their joint ceremony?" But he has very strong ears, and he has already heard the shouts of the heroes.
He Qicheng asked: "But I don't know how to merge the Five Sacred Sword Schools?"
"Naturally, it is a martial arts competition to judge the winner or loser. Zuo Lengchan is so arrogant that he chose the place of the martial arts competition on the emperor's old son's Fengchan platform!" Dongfang Bubai sneered, but forgot that he was the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect. , the style is comparable to that of the emperor, but Zuo Lengchan is far inferior to him in terms of pride.
He Qicheng had never seen such a martial arts competition, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and said in a low voice: "I want to go. But what if someone finds out?"
Dongfang Bubai said: "There are so many people on the peak, who can tell that you and I are among them? The reason why you were stopped just now is because you really don't look like a person in the Jianghu. Anyone distracted by looking around?"
When He Qicheng heard it, he felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately held Dongfang Bubai's hand: "Let's go!" There was excitement in his eyes.
Since Dongfang Bubai met He Qicheng, he has been unable to act according to the rules of the world, and he endured it again and again, really aggrieved.At this time, I took Heqi City to the Fengchan Terrace, since this person's life is in my hands, and I can only protect it with my own efforts, so I can't help feeling very happy.He thought to himself, although he can't win the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect to do it, but it is still necessary to play by ear and show his prestige in front of He Qicheng later.
While thinking about it, I suddenly heard a burst of applause from the heroes in the distance...
Part19
He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai walked towards the crowded place.There were one or two disciples standing guard along the way, Dongfang Bubai let his momentum out a little, he didn't even dare to come forward to ask the person who came after his eyes were swept away, and let the two of them in along the way.
When they came to the Fengchan Stage, it was time for Yue Lingshan to compete swords with Mr. Mo Da. Everyone in the audience saw that she, a second-generation female disciple of the Huashan School, was able to use the Hengshan School's swordsmanship to fight evenly with the head of the Hengshan School, and they all applauded.
Dongfang Bubai saw Linghu Chong among a group of nuns at a glance, and couldn't help being secretly surprised.He thought to himself, Linghu Chong went to Heimuya together with Ren Woxing, and he is also Ren Yingying's lover, how come he is mixed among the nuns of Hengshan School and still ranks first?But at this time, it's okay to meet him, and then quietly kill this person, or cut off Ren Woxing's right-hand man.However, it is necessary to do it quietly so as not to arouse suspicion.
He was concerned that he had met Linghu Chong face to face, and even though his attire was quite different, he still had to guard against it, so he turned sideways and hid half of his body behind He Qicheng.But suddenly he saw not far from Linghu Chong, a tall man with a beard standing against a stone, he looked familiar.Dongfang Bubai has a very deep experience in Jianghu, and after a little observation, it can be seen that this person has undergone a disguise. The original figure is not only not bloated, nor even a man, but a woman with a graceful figure.He vaguely felt that this person looked somewhat familiar, and when he thought about it carefully, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his heart. This person was not Ren Yingying, the holy lady of the Sun Moon God Sect whom he had grown up with, but who was it?
Dongfang Bubai thought to himself, Ren Yingying was no better than Linghu Chong, she would definitely be able to tell her identity at a glance by his appearance at this time.At the moment, her footsteps moved slightly, and she was a little closer to He Qicheng, so that Ren Yingying could use the angle of sight to let Ren Yingying
