Gospel of Lazy Cancer

In Jiangnan, you may not know who the governor of Zhejiang is, but you must know the Xie family.

The Xie family is famously rich.It opened up fields and houses extensively, was rich in gold and jade, and invested tens of millions of dollars. The fields and shops were all over the south.

In addition to the family property and farm house, Xie's bank is more famous.

For every three banks in the world, there is one named Xie.

This is not only something that can be achieved with a lot of money, but also means a tangled background of connections, a hidden powerful armed force, and a century-old reputation.

At this time, Xie's family was involved in the treason case of Luo Shumeng, which was really a headache.

The yamen guards were at a loss. Although they were polite every time they came to thank the family, instead of overpowering others, they even asked them to search the plum garden to prove their innocence. Naturally, they found nothing in the search.

If you can't clearly observe, then you can only make unannounced visits.But this is also full of difficulties. The Xie family is heavily guarded, and the servants are more loyal to the family. They have also recruited all kinds of expert guards, so that the defense is airtight, and external forces cannot penetrate at all. The case has not progressed so far.

These are the news that Park Jiayan got from Jin Yiwei.

He had a vague premonition that if there was a breakthrough, it would most likely be on the owner of the inn.However, these days, he almost went in and out with him, ate and slept together, and did not notice any abnormal behavior.

On the other hand, the surrounding Jianghu people, seeing that the two of them are outstanding in appearance and intimate in manner, especially one of them with low martial arts and an indistinguishable appearance between men and women, they showed either probing or contemptuous expressions.

Actually, Yao Chen didn't do nothing, he was watching, listening, thinking, passively receiving a lot of information.

Judging from the Jianghu people invited by the Xie family this time, there are both black and white, which shows that they are powerful and have a wide range of contacts.Yao Chen discovered that most of them spoke with a northern accent. Xie’s family is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many talented people in the south. Logically speaking, this should not be the case, unless the forces in the south of the Yangtze River are hostile to them. Without showing up, Yao Chen felt that the latter was more likely.

Did the Xie family do it on purpose?Have a plot against the North?

I always feel that there is no good banquet...

There was a weird atmosphere among the guests, they were not friendly, they were on guard against each other, and they seemed to be competing for something. Many people didn't mind eradicating their opponents and eliminating their dissidents before the banquet.

Just like the provocative swordsman in front of him, nicknamed Guanzhong Ba Dao, it is said that his sword skills are extremely domineering, open and close, and picked up many hills in the north. He likes to drink with the skull of a robber, cruel and bloodthirsty, ruthless .It is rumored that he used to be a captor in Guanzhong. Because he captured many bandits, he was revenged by the bandits and killed the whole family. Because of the inaction of the government, he rebelled against the public. He hated bandits the most in his life. Identity is full of hostility.

It turned out that the Yanshan Escort Agency, on the surface, was engaged in the Escort business, but in fact it was doing business without capital. It often robbed the accompanying caravans. Because it was not powerful and only operated in a small area, its reputation was not spread.

Yao Chen and the little wolf dog were eating quietly at the same table, but the swordsman came over without saying hello, patted the table, and asked rudely.

"Three years ago, a caravan passed by Yanshan, a total of 16 people were killed by you. Do you plead guilty?"

Yao Chen originally wanted to say, "There are some witnesses", but when he thought of his current vest, he suppressed his professional habits and snorted arrogantly.

"There are so many dead souls under the sword, how can you remember them all?"

His reaction directly angered the swordsman. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing through the ends of his hair, his eyes blurred, and then he heard the sound of hitting the ground, and the swordsman flew out and hit the wall , Cracks appeared on the wall immediately.The swordsman slowly stood up from the wall, clutching his chest, his face distorted by the pain, he wobbled two steps forward, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Little Wolf Dog is awesome!

Yao Chen saw that he used to eat public food, and his behavior after resignation was considered decent, and he didn't hurt innocent people, so he didn't let the little wolf dog kill him.

"Get out." He raised his chin in a pretentious manner, acting like a villain. If it wasn't for that handsome face, he would really make people want to punch him.

Seeing this, the expressions of the people around them changed. They thought they were little-known characters, but unexpectedly one of them was a top-notch expert. He was so young and had such a high skill at the age of a weak crown. The future was boundless, and everyone raised their praises. Be vigilant and secretly guess where the two of them came from.

After returning to the room, Yao Chen thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever heard that apart from birthday celebrations, what purpose does the Xie family have?"

Pu Jiayan shook his head: "Never." He thought that the owner of the inn would know.

Yao Chen sighed, he was here for Mingjiao, and he didn't want to get involved in other troubles, but once he stepped into the rivers and lakes, it was like stepping into a quagmire, the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.Although Dongchang has fully cooperated in providing clues, in the opponent's territory, the imperial court's control is weak, and they are fighting away, making things difficult.

What Park Jiayan did today not only shocked Xiao Xiao, but also attracted the attention of others. As Mr. Xie's birthday banquet approached, the atmosphere became more tense. The wolfhound was kept in the dark.

In the end, it was Park Jiayan who found out the truth from other people's whispered comments.

It was rumored that Mr. Xie wanted to choose a son-in-law for his granddaughter, and his granddaughter admired the northern heroes, so he specially invited the northern heroes to this banquet.

Unknowingly, he was regarded as the biggest competitor. In this face-seeking world, the rivers and lakes are not so simple!

Yao Chen felt that other people didn't need to regard him as an opponent at all, let's not say that he was a masculine man, since all the girls said they liked northern men, they definitely didn't like handsome men, they probably liked muscular men... …

That swordsman is more likely to be selected than him.

This year, Mr. Xie's birthday banquet was held in two places, one was in the family mansion to receive high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the other was in the plum garden to entertain guests from all corners of the country.With such thoughtfulness, both sides will avoid embarrassment when they see each other.If a famous arrester sees a fugitive, should he be arrested or not?What if a high-ranking official and a beggar have a banquet at the same table, and both of them walk away at the same time?

The banquet in Meiyuan was presided over by Mr. Xie's youngest son, Xie Xuan. He is a Jinshi scholar, also trained in martial arts, has a straightforward personality, and likes to make friends.

He moves through the crowd with ease, neither arrogant nor humble, just right to make people feel welcome, without losing Xie's bearing.He was exchanging greetings with people, when he suddenly saw a tall and straight figure dressed in common clothes appearing at the door, his eyes lit up, he politely stopped talking, and went to greet the guests with apology, the other party showed a look of understanding when he saw the person coming.

"Guo Daxia is able to come to the humble house, it is really full of splendor. If you are disappointed, you will welcome Haihan."

"Don't dare."

The man was about 40 years old, with a good appearance, gentle eyebrows and eyes like warm spring water, wearing a coarse cloth jacket and cloth shoes, the material of the clothes was washed white, and his breath was stable and restrained. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, with only a handle The simple long sword, the scabbard is very old, with obvious signs of wear and tear, rolled up with rags a few times, and hung on the waist.

Yao Chen was sitting at the table, and suddenly heard people discussing enthusiastically: "I didn't expect that the Xie family invited Guo Daxia to come."

Some people speak highly of it, and their great achievements are precious.

For example, when I was young, I was taught by an expert in the world. After learning three tricks, I ran across the rivers and lakes.There are two things about him that people talk about: the first thing is that Dongying swordsmen once came to the Central Plains to challenge, and picked countless masters, disgraced the Central Plains martial arts, and finally lost to Guo Daxia. The Dongying swordsmen were impressed by their swordsmanship and virtue. Dache Dawu escaped into Buddhism; the other was a peerless beauty who secretly promised her, because his brother had feelings for the beauty, and he didn't want his brother to be in trouble, so he cut off his affection and left, and even gave the beauty a large dowry.

The more Yao Chen listened to it, the more he found it interesting. He looked up, and when he saw his face clearly, he froze for a moment.

If a regular guest of the inn sees him, he will definitely recognize him as the quack master who is said to have held the record for the longest time in the proprietress' room for less than half an hour.

Pu Jiayan paid close attention to him all the time, and immediately noticed his abnormality.

"What's the matter?" He also looked at the respected Guo Daxia.

"Meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land." Yao Chen smiled.

Because Yao Chen's identity was not obvious, Guo Daxia didn't see him in an inconspicuous corner, but his instinct as a swordsman told him that danger was approaching.

At the banquet, delicious food and wine, delicacies from mountains and seas, everyone exchanged cups, enjoying themselves.

While enjoying Jiangnan's delicacies, Yao Chen justly condemned the Xie family's overreach and extravagance.

At the beginning, in order to prevent the extravagance of the world, the Tai/Zu established a strict hierarchical system in the diet. His old man has the temperament to take care of big things and small things, not only the cost of each meal, but also the texture and material of the eating utensils. detailed regulations.

Dukes and officials of the first and second ranks use gold for wine infusions and wine cups, and silver for the rest of the utensils; other officials cannot use all-gold wine infusions and wine cups, and use porcelain instead; Silver is used for the lamp, and porcelain and lacquer are used for the rest.

Today, this law has been relatively loose. Today's emperor allows first-rank and second-rank officials to use gold for eating utensils, but jade is not allowed.As for those merchants and craftsmen's homes, silver is not allowed to be used for food and drink utensils.

And the people in the rivers and lakes in front of them obviously didn't pay attention to the court's laws. The jade pot, the cup, the cup, and the chopsticks were afraid that others would not know that they had dug a jade mountain.

In this banquet, the most crude lacquered wooden utensils inside are all made of vermilion edged gold, Yao Chen noticed carefully, there are carved patterns like dragon and phoenix on them.

Tsk tsk tsk, who are you copying?

As the saying goes, a penny beats a hero.Heroes also have times when money is tight. The Jiangnan Xie family often donates money and has a long-standing reputation in the Jianghu. People in the Jianghu are willing to generously donate money whenever they have difficulties. In this way, people from all walks of life owe a lot of favors. The means of winning people's hearts should not be underestimated.

Yao Chen is playing with the wine glass in his hand. As a running dog of the imperial court and a hawk dog of the temple, he is planning how to disintegrate a power in the world that can disrupt social stability with one response, and at the same time have huge financial resources and even cause the country to go bankrupt.

Don't blame him for being vicious, it's just that Mr. Xie's birthday banquet was chosen at a time when the government suspected that he had something to do with Luo Shumeng, so it made people think deeply.

Is it to show strength to the imperial court and other forces in the world, so that they will be afraid and dare not act rashly?

Who gave you the courage?Liang Jingru?

As for the emperor's bad temper, don't take this as a provocation and I will take your surname!

After the birthday banquet, all the people in the world did not leave directly, but were invited by Xie's family to compete for the position of Xie's grandson-in-law.

The Xie family announced the rules for recruiting a son-in-law. All unmarried and healthy men between [-] and [-] can participate. The winner will be determined through martial arts.

Guo Daxia also stayed. Although he never married, it was not for Miss Xie's family, but to be a witness here to show the fairness and justice of the competition.He cherishes words like gold, and often sits at the head in silence. Xie Xuan seems to understand his character very well, doesn't care, and still talks to him enthusiastically.

Yao Chen and Park Jiayan seem to have been signed up, and everyone agrees that they came for the rich dowry of the Xie family. After all, they are gangsters, and they have a pretty face. How can they let go of the opportunity to make money in front of them?

When Yao Chen walked to the arena, halfway through the martial arts competition, everyone was already a little tired. At this moment, he suddenly saw an incomparably handsome young man, and couldn't help but cheer up. Regardless of his martial arts skills, it's fun to see a good-looking person being beaten. !

Yao Chen bowed his head to the top, with a graceful demeanor and a chic demeanor. In terms of appearance, no one can match him.

Xie Xuan admired this young man's outstanding appearance, but unfortunately his footsteps were flimsy and his martial arts skills were poor, but his opponent was the famous thunderbolt hand in the world, the kind who could crush iron walnuts with one hand, the winner was clear at a glance.

At this time, Guo Daxia also saw the young man's face clearly, a crack appeared on the calm face, Xie Xuan was keenly aware of it, and asked curiously: "You recognize this person? But is there something wrong?"

"She can't win."

Xie Xuan was shocked at this moment, he knew that he was just and chivalrous, but this was the first time he saw him do something unfair.

"Alas..." Guo Daxia sighed, full of helplessness.

To everyone's surprise, Yao Chen won.

He said a few words to Thunderbolt.

The first sentence: "Thunderbolt Palm Kungfu has flaws. The higher the level of the mental technique is, the less you can control the true energy in your body. This is the reason why your people are short-lived. You have good talent. If you continue at this speed, you will die within ten years." Will explode and die."

The second sentence: "The only genius doctor in the world who can save you is dead, but I know where his apprentice is."

Thunderbolt's face changed rapidly, and finally he was decisive, and he clasped his fists to the referee: "I admit defeat."

"Assignment."

There was a buzz of discussion among the spectators.

"This..." Xie Xuan was in a bit of a dilemma. Although Yao Chen won by strategy rather than martial arts, he did win, and Guo Daxia clearly expressed his opposition before.

"It's okay, I will talk to her afterwards, and I won't embarrass the Xie family." This was the first time Xie Xuan heard Guo Daxia utter a long sentence with so many words, and he became even more curious about the young man. Yao Chen was declared the winner and the next group was allowed to play.

In the next few games, Yao Chen won. He could always find the opponent's weakness. As long as he was given a chance to speak, no matter if he was a gangster or a white knight, they would all kneel under his three-inch tongue.

That's right, mouth/job is so good!

On the other hand, Park Jiayan, who was first-class in kung fu, conceded defeat after making a few gestures in the first round.

As Yao Chen advanced all the way, Guo Daxia's face became more and more ugly, to the point where anyone with eyes could see it.

Guo Daxia finally couldn't bear it and went to the door.

"What is your purpose?" He tensed up, not daring to relax in front of Yao Chen.

"Still the same, straight to the point, no foreplay at all." Yao Chen has become the proprietress of the Wuyou Inn again. With an infatuated and heartless smile, his eyes seemed to be looking at a cold hearted man.

Guo Daxia was silent for a while.This tone is easy to misunderstand, okay? !

"There are rumors all over the world that you even gave up your beloved woman for the sake of brotherly loyalty, and even gave you a dowry? You really deserve to be a hero Guo."

"...The past, why bother to mention it again."

Yao Chen put his smile away, and angrily threw the unfinished teacup in his hand at Guo Daxia, who caught it firmly without spilling a drop of water.

"I'm going to mention it!" Yao Chen said naively and stubbornly.That appearance is almost childish, unreasonable and unreasonable. Those who are familiar with him know that only when facing people who are close to him and trusted by him will he behave like this.

"Don't make trouble for no reason." The voice of the older man was full of helplessness, but his tone softened, and it was no longer as rigid as it was at the beginning.He persuaded earnestly: "It's dangerous here, you shouldn't come."

"Where is the danger?" Yao Chen felt that he touched a little bit.

Guo Daxia moved his lips, but still didn't say anything.

Yao Chen began to cry fakely: "I knew that in your eyes, I am nothing. Who am I here for? I heard that Xie's family is going to harm the northern rivers and lakes. I don't know if it is against you, so I ran away eagerly." Come on, but instead of pretending not to know him, the first thing you said was to interrogate me as a prisoner..." The voice behind was choked up, unable to speak.

"Don't you want to be like this... Is it still not enough to rely on you?" Guo Daxia almost knelt down to her, why did he have such a strange thing?

Pu Jiayan hid on the beam and heard everything in his ears. He was a little confused and a little enlightened, as if he understood something, but he seemed to have fallen into even greater confusion.

It turns out that the owner of the inn also has a heart, but that heart has already been given to someone else.

He wanted to hold that person in his arms immediately, coax her not to cry, persuade her to still have herself, not to care about others,

But in what position?

He is more despicable than other men, and his connections are all for ulterior motives.

What is it between them?

The identities are fake, the names are fake, the relationships are fake.

Ironically, just the feelings are real...

He concentrated and held his breath, even though his heart was overwhelmed and the wind and rain were miserable, he was perfectly hidden in the darkness without revealing anything.
