Volume 3 The Storm Rises Chapter 230 Hu Yu's Changes
Unlike the stone house, which reveals delicacy everywhere, the top floor platform is much more ordinary, and the ordinary stone paved ground is surrounded by the same as the terrace on the second floor, there is nothing surprising.
Ma Yunlu walked to the stone table in the center of the platform, and then chose a stone bench and sat down.
Hu Yu did not rush to the stone table, but walked around the edge of the platform with great interest, and finally stopped at a position with a panoramic view of Yilian Lake.
"Uncle Ma, this platform is really an excellent place to view the scenery, the scenery around Yilian Lake is vividly displayed in front of you, and it will not be noticed by those people downstairs, it is really wonderful. ”
After a short period of adjustment, Hu Yu's agitated mood has completely calmed down, although he is still extremely eager to know his life experience, but his mood at this time is not so urgent, since Ma Yunlu is willing to say, then Hu Yu is in a hurry or not is the same thing, but he was looked down on in vain, so Hu Yu took the initiative to temporarily divert the topic, just to be able to calmly listen to Ma Yunlu talk about his life experience.
After Ma Yunlu sat down at the stone table, he kept staring at the smooth tabletop, as if the tabletop was a curtain, reflecting the indelible pictures in his heart.
Ma Yunlu muttered to the smooth tabletop: " Speaking of this Lin Youlou and your origin is not small, the territory around Yilian Lake was the territory of the Guogong Mansion, under the account of the Guogong Mansion, although it was already a famous fireworks place in the imperial city at that time, but the imperial city at that time had not been expanded, Yilian Lake has always been a place outside the city, far less prosperous than now, these green buildings are just a thatched hut at that time, more or the flower boat wandering in the lake, the current Lin Youlou was still a small courtyard at that time. ”
Hu Yu asked, "Are you talking about fifteen years ago?"
Ma Yunlu said with emotion: "That's right, in fifteen years, the imperial city can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, the suburbs at that time are now the most prosperous area in the outer city, and the small courtyard of the year has also become today's Lin Youlou, this stone table is left in the small courtyard at that time, it witnessed the friendship between me and your father, so after the completion of Lin Youlou, I moved it here." ”
Ma Yunlu gently wiped the stone table with his wet cuffs, obviously in his heart, the weight of the stone table was much more important than the luxurious robe.
Hearing what Ma Yunlu said, Hu Yu glanced at the buildings around Yilian Lake, without exception, these buildings are all the same green buildings as Lin Youlou, and at this moment they are also brightly lit, with many guests, obviously business is very good.
"According to what you always say, I am also the top boy in this imperial city? And these green buildings around me have to pay me land rent every year? My family is the head of the green buildings in this imperial city?" Hu Yu's thinking is obviously different from Ma Yunlu's, he focuses on the benefits that these places can bring to him, rather than lamenting the things and people over the years.
Hu Yu secretly thought to himself in his heart, it seems that it is not for nothing that he likes to visit Qinglou before, this is genetic, it is his nature buried in his blood.
Silently counting how many green buildings there are around Yilian Lake, Hu Yu kept thinking in his heart how many taels of silver these green buildings should pay him in a year, since the Guogong case fifteen years ago, these territories were occupied by whom, and whose hands did these silver money fall into, Hu Yu kept these in his mind.
Hu Yu doesn't have many hobbies, and silver money is one of his biggest hobbies, how much rent should be paid in these green buildings in the past fifteen years, and after thinking about it for a while, Hu Yu couldn't figure out how much silver money he lost, Hu Yu couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: " Bastard, how much advantage has I taken over my family over the years, even if a store collects 1,000 taels of silver a year, there are more than 10 green buildings next to Yilian Lake, and it is 200,000 taels of silver in fifteen years, so much money, even if I have a lot of fish and meat every day, I can't spend it in my life, no, I have to take back these rents, I can't cheapen these bastards for nothing. ”
Ma Yunlu, who was still immersed in sadness, was stunned by Hu Yu's words, and the emotions that had been brewing for a long time also dissipated, even the sadness seemed inserious.
Ma Yunlu raised his head, looked at Hu Yu puzzled, and asked, "Virtuous nephew, what did you just say?"
Hu Yu said righteously: "Didn't you say that these lands are my family's, these Qinglou bosses should rent my family if they build buildings here to make a living, and my family has no one over the years, these Qinglou bosses have not occupied my family's land for more than ten years in vain, and now that I am back, then of course I have to take back the rent they owe over the years, Uncle Ma, do you say this is the reason?"
"Rent collection?" Ma Yunlu twitched the corners of his mouth, he didn't know what to say, although this land did not belong to the Guogong Mansion, but it was only a change in the ownership of the site, and the rent that they should pay for the owners of the Qinglou was also a lot of money, but the rent collector had changed.
Originally, Ma Yunlu thought that Hu Yu would reminisce about the past with him, who would have thought that Hu Yu's head was pretending to be these trivial things, collecting rent?
"Hey. Ma Yunlu sighed deeply, his face looked a little lost, if Hu Yu is this kind of temperament, then what he said just now was a little early.
Hu Yu has been paying close attention to Ma Yunlu, not missing any look on Ma Yunlu's face, seeing that Ma Yunlu's face showed a very obvious sense of loss, Hu Yu laughed slightly, until this time, he was able to completely put his mind at ease, after confirming that Ma Yunlu was sincere to him, Hu Yu walked to the stone table, hugged his fist at Ma Yunlu, and then bowed deeply.
Hu Yu put away the smile on his face, and said with a very cold expression: "Uncle Ma, please tell your nephew what happened at the beginning, why the Guogong Mansion was reduced to nothing overnight, so that the nephew's family was ruined, and he lost his loved ones since he was a child." ”
Hu Yu's temperament has changed very obviously from before, if Hu Yu's body just now is full of market spirit, giving people the feeling of being stubborn and not doing his job, then now Hu Yu is a sharp arrow ready to go, full of bows and bends, and the whole person exudes a breathtaking aura.
Ma Yunlu's eyes were slightly condensed, the changes before and after Hu Yu were too huge, even if he had countless experiences, it was difficult to adapt for a while, and he couldn't help but have an illusion in his heart, was the person standing in front of him Hu Yu? Or did the person who had disappeared for fifteen years come back again? Because at this time, Hu Yu and the original Gu Bin knew each other, from the appearance and figure, to the momentum of the whole person, they were the same as the former grandpa of the country, which made people unable to distinguish the difference between the two for a while.
The qi emanating from Hu Yu's body flashed away, and just when Ma Yunlu was slightly stunned, Hu Yu was already sitting opposite Ma Yunlu, and like Ma Yunlu before, staring closely at the surface of the stone table, as if he was completely attracted by some invisible picture, the whole person was integrated with the stone table, as if it did not exist.
Ma Yunlu's eyes stared at Hu Yu for a moment, he wanted to determine whether the picture that just appeared in his eyes was an illusion, but Hu Yu was like an old monk who had settled down, and there was still a little bit of momentum on his body, which made Ma Yunlu even more puzzled, so Ma Yunlu had no choice but to ask: "Virtuous nephew, what will you do after knowing your life experience?"
Hu Yu raised his head slowly, the three-color aura in his eyes slowly turned, staring at Ma Yunlu and said word by word: "If there is a grievance, it will be avenged, and if there is a revenge, it will be avenged!"
Looking at Hu Yu's eyes, Ma Yunlu's mind appeared in the scene of killing for no reason, he saw the outbreak of war, countless people died in the war, he saw the collapse of the earth, the destruction of mountains and rivers, and these pictures without exception are without any color, the whole world is only black, white and gray, including which heads are separated, and the soldiers who died on the battlefield are splashed with gray blood.
The illusion in front of him disappeared, and Hu Yu's figure appeared in front of Ma Yunlu's eyes again, but at this time, Hu Yu had closed his eyes without any expression on his face, as if the words he just said were not an oath, but a trivial matter.
But Ma Yunlu's wrinkled face at this time was full of shock and fear, yes, fear.
You must know that Ma Yunlu is a monk, and he is not an ordinary monk, but he was distracted for a moment just now, if Hu Yu sitting opposite him had bad intentions, then Ma Yunlu would have died of anger at this time, and the reason for his distraction was just a glance at Hu Yu, what does this mean? represents that Hu Yu's strength is far superior to him, although there is a reason why he has no defense against Hu Yu, but as a top master, his mind has long been as solid as a rock, like the situation just now, Ma Yunlu has only appeared twice in his life, and the last time he appeared, his own strength was far inferior to now.
But how can Hu Yu's strength be far superior to himself? Ma Yunlu had countless questions in his heart, although he was not an easy to perceive, but when Hu Yu was in a coma, he carefully probed Hu Yu, although Hu Yu's dantian was destroyed at that time, but Ma Yunlu can still make corresponding judgments on Hu Yu's strength, among the younger generation, Hu Yu's strength can definitely be regarded as the best among them, but compared with the monks who have completed his exercises, Hu Yu's strength is still inferior.
