In a gorgeous inn in Jinling City, Lu Yaoyuan was boiling tea with a smile, and opposite the desk by the stove, a middle-aged man with a cold face was sitting quietly. ”

Lu Yaoyuan, alias Qin Yuan, heard the man ask, smiled a little stronger, put a wet towel on the iron handle of the teapot, poured a cup each, put down the teapot and picked up the teacup and blew it gently, took a long sip, and looked intoxicated, "Although Jinling is a rich and noble place, I still prefer the red water technique for this tea brewing technique. ”

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Lu Yaoyuan's case was the deputy envoy of Jinling Jinyiwei, Wave, hearing this, Wave's brows wrinkled slightly, but he still pinched the teacup and took a sip, his mouth was very bitter, and he frowned: "It's a little wrong to drink tea in the morning." ”

Lu Yaoyuan smiled, poured another cup of each, and said, "Today, the deputy envoy of Yolang has some things to discuss. ”

The words got to the point, the wave of eyebrows and eyes were revealed, Panasonic teacup, a little anxious, "Brother Qin, please say, the conditions of Jinyiwei have not changed, as long as Brother Qin takes the lead in revitalizing Jinling's economic qi, my Jinyiwei will let Qinfu be Jinling's richer in the future!"

"Hehe, Deputy Envoy Lang, is the benefit you giving me a little bigger, the Deputy Envoy Whispering also approached me a few days ago, but the conditions are not as rich as the Deputy Envoy Lang's side. Lu Yaoyuan looked like a businessman seeking profit, but it made the wave more confirmed.

"Qin is a businessman, or a small family that travels far away to resell. Lu Yaoyuan pinched the teacup and said with a light smile: "There is a saying in my Chishui business world, what you plan is big, you must pay big, it seems that Deputy Envoy Lang needs Qin to pay more, does Deputy Envoy Lang want to be the governor of Jinling?"

Lu Yaoyuan's face was obviously displeased when he said the last few words, but he was very well disguised, and said indifferently: "Brother Qin is a smart person, he is willing to give up, and he is willing to be willing to write, and he is willing to write, and he weighs it in Brother Qin's thoughts, a few years ago, Lang also passed by Yelang Chishui, but it can't be compared with Jinling." ”

Lu Yaoyuan pretended to be contemplative, his brows were squeezed into a word, as if it was difficult to weigh it, he sipped tea for a long time, his lips were a little tangled, he looked at the wave, and said: "Qin is just the shopkeeper of the house, tens of thousands of people can still be decided, but the deputy envoy of Lang needs to be tens of thousands, Qin really doesn't dare to make a decision." ”

When the tide was cold, Lu Yaoyuan smiled and said: "However, my third master is not far from Jinling at this time, the third master likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, and he went to play when he first arrived in Jinling, no, I only came back a few days ago, or I will make an appointment with the third master tonight, and then the deputy envoy of Lang will discuss with the third master?"

"Oh~ The third master is the third young master of my Qin Mansion, the future helmsman of the Qin Mansion. ”

Hearing this, the wave suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Lu Yaoyuan's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin has seen the outside, Lang is setting up a banquet tonight, and I hope that the third master, Brother Qin, will appreciate the light, so that Lang can do his best to be a landlord!"

Looking at the wave that disappeared out of the inn and disappeared into the streets and alleys, Lu Yaoyuan's smiling face gradually converged, his palm was raised, and a young man quietly appeared behind him. ”

"Also, except for the special dark spots, the rest of the red water protects the third master, and where the third master passes, whether it is the street, the house, the woods or the water, the incense is cleaned at the time, and today is a special day, so as not to spoil the third master's mind. Lu Yaoyuan commanded a few more words, and then slowly exhaled.

Chishui had already prepared a carriage on the official road, Xu Yunshan and Chishui were outside the carriage, and the carriage was in Shu Meier's arms three times, enjoying her exclusive kneading techniques, and unconsciously came to Jinling City.

The guards under the city were still checking one by one, Chishui stopped the horse a mile away from the city, Xu Yunshan sat on the frame and turned around and whispered to the carriage, "Third brother, it was Jinling in front of you." ”

Gou San lifted the curtain, squinted his eyes and looked at the city wall, looked back at the former cold-armored battlefield in front of him, jumped out of the carriage and walked to the side of the road.

Chi Shui held a bamboo basket in his hand, covered with a black cloth, and took out a few stacks of paper money, a stick of incense and two red wax, Xu Yunshan squatted down and lit the paper money with a fire fold, plugged in the incense and wax, Shu Meier also put a fruit plate, Gou San held the wine pot and faced the former cold armor battlefield, and the apricot blossom wine fell out of several lines.

"Let's go..."

Gou San recited a sentence silently in his heart and bowed deeply.

Climb on the carriage and travel to the north and south, and worship in all four cities.

Gou San held the passage documents in his arms, and the entry into the city was very smooth, Xu Yunshan asked: "Third brother, go to the city first or the vegetable market?"

"Let's go to the vegetable market first, and go around Tiger Street to Fengqiao. ”

The entrance of the vegetable market is located in the east of the city, which happens to be the place where Gou San entered the city for the last worship.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market, the wind was coming, and there was an old man smoking a cigarette gun sitting on the side of the street, looking at a few people walking slowly with bamboo baskets, and couldn't help shouting, "Hey, are you here to pour vegetables?"

Gou San frowned, looked at the rickety old man running in small steps with a smile on his face, and asked, "Uncle, who are you?"

"Did the proprietor come to the vegetable market to pour vegetables? Come and come, come to my house, my family has a lot of agricultural vegetables, and they are fresh. The old man pinned the cigarette gun to his waist, and his wrinkled face was blown by the spring breeze, so he almost enthusiastically pulled Gou San's sleeves and walked to his house.

"Uncle, you misunderstood, I'm not the owner of the poured vegetables, I'm just here to have a look. Gou San smiled lightly, seeing that the old man looked disappointed, he used to be the sales director to see the doorway, and asked, "Uncle, can't you sell the vegetables at home?"

The old man sighed, grabbed the cigarette gun again, shook his head again and again, and said, "I'm afraid you don't believe it, in the past two months, you are the first outsiders I have seen." ”

"The government won't let the vegetables be poured?" Shu Meier asked puzzled, the entrance of the vegetable market is a place to pour vegetables, and the flow of people is bustling.

"Hey, miss, you don't know anything. The old man pointed to the spacious area dozens of feet behind with the cigarette gun in his hand, and said: "Just because of that, two months ago, more than 300 heads were cut off in one day, and even for several days, I often heard wailing at night, and I didn't dare to turn off the lights, because the government also issued a notice to set up the entrance of the vegetable market to the west of the city, how can we live?" ”

Gou San's indifferent face didn't see any fluctuations, and Shu Mei'er's palm tightened tightly, holding his arm.

When the old man sighed, Gou San had already entered the vegetable market, Chishui also lit the paper money and incense candles, and Gou San took the wine pot handed by Xu Yunshan, uncovered it and sprinkled it.

Along the way, Gou San was silent with his eyes closed, and Shu Meier's careful guidance only squeezed out a few "um" and "oh".

Or under the influence of the old man at the entrance of the vegetable market, Gou San just bowed slowly to the ruins of Gou Mansion and then walked towards the cemetery.

The Gou Mansion Mausoleum is located on the mountainside five miles away from Gou Mansion.

The green mountains contain green, the stone steps are winding, the pavilion is ten, if the only thing that can remind outsiders of the glory of Gou Mansion at this time should be this Gou Ling.

Halfway up the mountain, Gou San, who deliberately restrained his true qi, also sweated a little, the afternoon sun was cracking, and he took off his coat and only wore a wrap.

The two new graves have been blown out of the new grass by the spring breeze, and Gou San carefully pulled them out one by one, looking at the previous few handwriting on the tombstone with pink stone, which was diluted by the wind and rain, and picked up small stones to retrace deeply according to the original handwriting.

On the side of the carved words "Tomb of the Eighteenth Ghost", the tomb of the righteous father and the ninth looks a little warmer.

Gou San never spit out a word so far, sat in front of the tombstone, put the small stone on the top of the stone tablet, personally burned paper and incense, put chickens and ducks on the fruit plate, and finally brought three jars of apricot blossom wine.

Gou San's indifferent face showed a rare smile, stood up and grabbed the wine jar, and the apricot blossom wine fell into the jar and poured it, "The first altar, respect three years ago." ”

Gou San grabbed another altar again, and said as he poured it: "The second altar, three years later." ”

Followed by the third altar, he said: "The third altar, relieve your cravings." ”

After the three jars of wine were toasted, Gou San took three steps back, Shu Meier, Xu Yunshan, and Chishui stood behind them respectively, clasping their fists and bowing deeply.

"I'm coming to see you this time, let's see if I can come back and give you some wine money during the New Year, save some drinks below, and give me dreams if you need anything, ah~"

The new grave next to the old nine graves, Gou San did so.

After sitting in Gou Ling for half an hour, Gou San took the clothes handed over by Shu Meier and put them back on, and asked, "Fat man, where is Uncle Xu's grave?"

"It's in Xu's house. Xu Fatzi chuckled.

"You, is this what you said about choosing a random place?" Gou San glared angrily.

"My father, he looks very honest, but he is actually a pervert, otherwise he would not have caught the road of Dongchang, when I sent my father back, my mother also hit her head and died, and the little concubine also hanged herself, so I simply put them there, and we have a home together, which is good. ”

Gou San put away his smile, reached out and patted Xu Yunshan on the shoulder, and took the lead to walk down the mountain.

Xu's mansion is a private mansion rewarded by the imperial court, and it has been shelved since Xu Changhai was killed, and it is Changning Street on the Qinhuai border in the east of the city.

In just over two months, Xu Mansion has grown a lot of cobwebs, and Xu Yunshan led the way and used a wooden stick to remove the dust cobwebs.

What Xu Yunshan did was simpler than he said, in his opinion, it was a pit to bury three people, not only to save trouble, but also to please his father, as long as his father was happy, then it would naturally not be a matter for him to sleep with his father's concubine.

Gou San burned paper and incense, Xu Yunshan poured wine, and finally the two of them picked up a handful of new soil and sprinkled it on the grave, but they didn't have time to pat off the mud stains in their hands, but a crisp applause suddenly sounded.

Gou San's eyes slowly raised as he looked down at the palms of his hands, and a woman dressed in a six-door costume clapped her hands with a smile on her face.

"Is that you?" Xu Yunshan frowned deeply.

"See you again... Xu Yunshan..."The woman smiled with her eyebrows, as if she was in control.

"She's the six door envoys I met on my way to Yulang County!" Xu Yunshan clenched his fists behind him.

"Should I call you Qin Huai, or... What about the third young master..."The woman turned her eyebrows to look at Gou San, smug.

Gou San frowned, and said to herself, "She would actually know that Qin Huai is Gou San, wouldn't the six doors know?"

"No, if the six doors know, how can I live in Lujia Town in a good way?"

"She asked Xu Yunshan first, knowing that Xu Yunshan fell down with me, and she took advantage of the Qingming Festival to squat here and wait for the rabbit, try to turn it over. ”

"She should have guessed and didn't decide. ”

Gou San thought about it thoroughly, even if there were some mistakes, it must not matter, feeling that the Xu Mansion had rushed into more than a dozen Dawson's cold breath, a smile appeared on his indifferent face, and said, "What, I guessed that I didn't go to ventilate first, I wanted to take the credit for myself?"

"What's the matter? Heaven and earth, I see how you can escape today!" The fan made his face cool and smiled, his palms slowly raised, and more than a dozen figures stood on the roof of the house and raised their bows and crossbows to aim at Gou San.

Gou San smiled disappreciatively, pulled up Shu Mei'er's palm, and whispered in her ear: "Girls still rarely see some blood, let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious." ”

Gou San turned around and slowly lowered his raised palm.

In an instant, more than a dozen people died under the wrist crossbow, and the female fan of the six doors was hit by twenty-seven crossbow arrows, and she did not blink an eye.

Walking on the street, Gou San bought a string of sugar gourds and handed them to Shu Meier, as if all this had never happened.
