19, Sword God Villa poisoning case (I)
Pu'er before the Ming Dynasty, please use. Feng Zhinian's language was concise and indifferent.
Yan Li looked at the thin middle-aged man in front of him, and couldn't help but recall the conversation with Gu Caiwei in his mind.
They took a boat to Kowloon City, asked for the path, and went directly to the foot of Kowloon Mountain to start climbing. This Jiulong Mountain is magnificent and colorful, between the mountains that stretch and rise and fall and cover each other, if there are nine sleeping dragons circling each other, so it gets this name. The Sword God Villa is built on the fairy rock, because the mountain is amazing, from a distance, the fairy rock is like suspended in mid-air, so it has the reputation of "fairy".
"Feng Zhinian, vice president of the Sword Holding Association, Feng Jiu's biological father, second only to Yang Qiusheng in status, he is also the deacon elder of the outer gate of the Sword Court Tianjian Peak, his strength is very strong, he once killed nine in and nine out on the battlefield of the demon clan, the name of the sword god Feng Zhinian, decades ago it can be described as a thunder in the fairy world, but unfortunately he was plotted by the enemy and injured the foundation, and now he is cultivated to one out of ten, it's a pity. You may not know that most of the industries in Jianzhou are in the hands of the Sword Execution Association. ”
"What?
"I know you don't believe it. Little, there are so many things in this world that you can't think of. Generally speaking, the Dao Tong is indeed the master of a domain, and of course the Sword Court is also, but many years ago, since the birth of the Sword Ruling Association, the economic lifeline of the Sword State has been taken away by the Sword Holding Association, and most of the industries are managed and coordinated by the Sword Holding Association, and only thirty percent of the profits are handed over to the Sword Court, and the rest have fallen into their own pockets. ”
Yan Li was surprised: "I have never heard of the Sword Fighting Association before, and I hope that the master will give you advice." ”
"You are arrogant and boundless, and it is rare to be humble-minded, and it is rare for Master Ben to be kind enough to point at you. Gu Caiwei Ge Jiao smiled, "Let's start from hundreds of years ago, there are four major mountain villas in Jianzhou, they are Sword God Villa, Xiaoyue Villa, Tianxuan Villa and Yanming Villa. ”
"It sounds more majestic than the other. ”
"It's really majestic. They have one thing in common, that is, the first owner of the village once served as the head of the Sword Court. ”
"That can be regarded as the incense passed down from the Sword Court. ”
"Not bad. But after all, it does not belong to the Sword Court, although the villas have stunts, but there is no stunt, if you want to climb the cloud peak, you still have to worship the Sword Court. ”
"What's always going on with the sword?"
"About two hundred years ago, there was a rebellion in the Sword Court, when the Heavenly Sword Peak was powerful, and the rest of the veins were seriously suppressed, so they united to attack the Heavenly Sword Peak, after the rebellion was suppressed, the head of the sect happened to be born in Yanming Villa, in order to prevent further rebellions, he united the four major villas and built the 'Sword Guarding Hall', which is the predecessor of the 'Sword Holding Association'. The vitality of the various veins of the Sword Court was greatly damaged in this turmoil, and the overall strength of the Nine Great Dao Unified fell to the eighth place, and the 'Sword Protection Hall' took the opportunity to thrive. The birth of the 'Sword Guarding Hall', whether it was a conspiracy or not, is now impossible to verify, and with its growth, the four major villas almost monopolized the position of the head of the sect. I don't know the specific details after that, but before Guanshan Hai took office, he had already changed his name to the 'Sword Carrying Association'. Gu Caiwei was tired of walking, so she sat down by the stream, poked her bare feet into the water, and squinted her eyes comfortably.
With Gu Caiwei's narration, the 'Sword Will' unveiled layer after layer of mystery in front of Yan Li's eyes
Yarn, although there is still a distance from really seeing it clearly, is no longer unfamiliar. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall a conversation with Ye Qinglan, and the other party said secretly, "The water of the Sword Court is very deep", and now he looks back and tastes it carefully, and only then does he realize the deep meaning.
"Why do you think the head of the sect is the head of the sect?"
Gu Caiwei pondered Yan Li's words carefully, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, this is the result of the compromise of the seven veins of the Sword Court. ”
Yan Li couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, even an outsider could see the situation of the Sword Court so clearly? The so-called strength of the Sword Court now, as the master of the sect was trapped and demonized, it had turned into a bubble, and as long as there was an external force, it would be completely defeated. If you continue to let the sword wielding always develop, it will not be surprising that it will replace the sword court in the future. Elder Zijun said that the previous head of Wang Hu was also a person from Yanming Villa, and he appointed Guan Shanhai, who was born in Jixia School Palace, as his successor, in order to appease the first seat of the Zhumai, but the condition was that the next successor must be a person from the Four Great Villas.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that at the Sword Conferring Conference, the First Seat of the Six Veins didn't seem to have any objection to Senior Brother as the successor, so weren't they worried? And this time, it was the Law Enforcement Academy and the Elders' House that joined forces to attack Senior Brother, wouldn't it be the Sword Execution Association to deal with the Sword Execution Association? Thinking of Yang Qiusheng, he couldn't help but ask, "Yang Qiusheng has a foreign surname, how can he be the president of the Sword Execution Association?"
"He is Wang Hu's personal disciple, Wang Hu values him very much, and he gives him his great-great-granddaughter for many generations. In the past, everyone thought so, until their husband and wife both entered middle age, gave birth to a child, and were actually surnamed Wang, so everyone understood it, saying that it was a good match, but it was really a big deal. ”
"Can't get used to drinking?"
The faint and concise voice dragged Yan Li out of his contemplation, it turned out that he didn't drink the tea cup for a long time, and the host thought that he couldn't drink the tea, so he asked loudly.
"No, it won't. Yan Li said vaguely, took a sip of the teacup, and slowly put it down, "Ming Qian is a famous species, and I can't drink it ordinarily." Does the owner know what the younger generation is coming?"
"Hmm. Feng Zhinian just drank tea, and he answered, and I don't know whether he knew it or not.
Yan Li said: "The younger generation is here for the senior brother. Presumably the owner of the village has heard that the senior brother is in a difficult situation now. ”
Feng Zhinian paused while holding the teacup, his eyelids raised, and his eyes became extremely sharp, "He asked for it!"
Yan Li's heart sank, knowing that this trip might not be easy. "The younger generation just wants to know what happened to the poisoning case back then, and they don't mean to be offended. ”
Feng Zhinian Huo Ran stood up, "The hospitality is not good." So saying, he turned and left. The man's back was thin, and he was in a hurry as if he had lost his soul. After he left, a white-haired old man who looked like a housekeeper came in and smiled bitterly at the two, "The owner of the village is moody and has neglected the two distinguished guests." Old Chen Ke, the manager of the villa, has spent most of his life in the villa, and some things are more detailed than the owner, if you don't dislike it, let the old man answer. ”
Yan Li originally wanted to ask about the poisoning case, but suddenly a thought came to him, and he couldn't help but say: "Manager Chen, this is a rare opportunity, I want you to tell us about the senior brother first." ”
The envoy brought a chair, Chen Ke sat down with the armrest, sighed, and began to speak slowly.
Feng Jiu ranked ninth, and because of Jiulong Mountain, Feng Zhinian named Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu's biological mother Tao is a native of Chai County, a hundred miles away from Kowloon City, that year Feng Zhinian was plotted by the enemy, seriously injured and recovered, in order to relieve the boredom of the road of cultivation was cut off, he went to Chai County Dongbi Lake boating and fishing, met Tao Shi, who was still a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and fell in love with it at first sight.
A few years later, Tao was married back to the Sword God Villa, and at first it was a few years of love and sweetness, but compared with the days that once dominated the fairy world, it was quite dull and tasteless, plus Tao gave birth to two children successively, her figure was out of shape, and her appearance changed greatly, and Feng Zhinian gradually alienated her.
Tao was born poor, the daughter of a fisherman, it was difficult to get into the elegant hall, married into the Sword God Villa, and couldn't even get the position of a flat wife, just a concubine. When she was favored, the master mother wanted to give her three points, and once she lost power, even the slaves and maids did not take their mother and son in their eyes.
Chen Ke did not shy away from telling Feng Zhinian's change of mentality, which made the two of them listen to it is an eye-opener, maybe in the mind of this old man, Tao's experience is too tragic, and he also uses memories to express his emotions. However, he only said a word about Dow's tragic experience. "Sword God Villa, everyone uses a sword, the owner of the village is even more fond of swordsmanship, the talented children in the village, have been given great preferential treatment, each room is to practice the sword as a way out, the talented son and girl, even if in the village to kill people and set fire, the owner of the village is only not seen. However, the ninth prince was born with a hand disease, and he couldn't crush the ants, and Hugh said that he couldn't lift the sword when he practiced the sword, and he couldn't lift it, so that the owner of the village didn't want to see Yu Shuju. The housemother is fierce, often forcing Tao Xiaoniang to kneel and beg for mercy, and it is common to be whipped. But, I didn't expect it......" Chen Ke recalled that time, and couldn't help but be full of nostalgia, "Miss Lin, the sister of the ninth prince, is a natural embryo who practices swords, she was only nine years old that year, and she stood out in the big competition in the village, and even awakened the second-class sword god, and was regarded as the heir by the owner of the village......"
"Miss Lin?" Yan Li and Gu Caiwei glanced at each other, they didn't expect that the two brothers and sisters were very different, they really couldn't imagine how Feng Jiu could finally break out of the encirclement in that environment.
"What happened later?" Gu Caiwei urged.
"Girl, don't worry, let the old man drink saliva to moisten his throat. Chen Ke took the teacup from the envoy's hand, took two sips and swallowed it, and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm getting older, I can't say a few words, I hope that Yan Gongzi, Miss Caiwei will forgive me." Later, Tao was killed, and Miss Lin was passed to the long house and became the daughter of the housemother, and within two years, there was a poisoning case. Thinking about it now, it can only be the Ninth Prince's doing, after all, ......"
"Uncle Chen!"
At this time, two people suddenly walked outside the door, a man and a woman, the man was about thirty years old, three points similar to Feng Zhinian, and his figure was slightly fat, seeing Gu Caiwei was first amazed, and then flashed greed;
"Wu Gongzi, Miss Yu. Chen Ke hurriedly stood up and saluted the two, and the man showed a smile that he thought was appropriate, "There are some things that can't be said nonsense, how could Tao Xiaoniang be beaten to death? It is clear that she stole the man and died of an obscene disease! You are old and confused, but you can't mislead your guests." He turned to Yan Li and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Yan, I am Feng Chengwu, I also learned swords in the Sword Court in my early years, and my father is old, so I have to come back to help take care of the family business." ”
