Shi Shi Xing, Long Shao asked Zhang Tianyi about the ins and outs of this medicinal material business, and listened to Zhang Tianyi say that since the Qingliu Society was dispersed, he has been planning for his future livelihood, and he wants to sell illicit salt and make a living illegally with usury before After all, it is not a long-term solution, and the only mine that can be regarded as legal is now in the hands of Qiu Yinming, but the emperor pays off, although the old road is not, the new road is open again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info talked about Qiu Yinming's seizure of his old department, his face was uncomplaining, and he said it lightly. Long Shao couldn't help but provoke a sentence from it curiously, but who knew that neither of them cared, and suddenly it seemed that he was bored. So he didn't speak much all the way, listening to Zhang Tianyi's details. It turned out that he had inadvertently obtained some elixirs to prolong his life, which were all loved by civil and military officials in Jingzhou, wealthy businessmen, but the number was limited. Recently, with the help of Zen Master Kuyun in Jiuhua Mountain, he cracked the formula, so he went south to find a seller of medicinal materials. Knowing that trade in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was prosperous, there were often merchants who trafficked rare medicinal materials from overseas, so they went all the way south from Nanjing, and finally found a suitable seller in Hangzhou.
After hearing this, Long Shao was a little disapproving, but he didn't talk about it, but said: "Mr. Zhang is running around for his livelihood and has worked hard. Your so-called panacea is the one you gave to my eldest brother last time, right? Zhang Tianyi nodded in confirmation. Long Shao squinted slightly and said, "You do your business and make your fortune." I want to persuade my eldest brother not to be like those corrupt officials, bullies, and profiteers, greedy for pleasure, and tainted with bad habits. Please Mr. Zhang do not deliberately indulge him. Zhang Tianyi said with a smile: "The second owner of the village has extraordinary knowledge. After all, Zhu Zhuang was born noble, loves some rare things, and occasionally indulges, he can understand it, and there is no need to worry. ”
Qiu Yinming just heard the words "no one loves Jingzhou's civil and military officials" in Zhang Tianyi's words, and his heart moved: it turned out that he bribed officials not only for money, but also for this mysterious and secret elixir, no wonder it worked so well. Those corrupt officials have seen a lot of gold and silver treasures, and ordinary things will not be rare. In this way, Zhang Tianyi's business is worth noting.
The place where the medicinal herb merchant entertained Zhang Tianyi was quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle in the north corner of the city, in the small alley with lush flowers and trees, and it was only half a cup of tea to walk through the downtown along the river to the mansion with a high courtyard wall, but it suddenly separated the noisy market behind him. Fang sighed that this place was quiet, but after entering the door, it was a completely different kind of excitement.
The back garden is unique, several pavilions and tactful corridors reflect each other, there is a pool of clear water, vines hang down on it, soft branches shine shadows, and there are red and white carp floating and frolicking below. Although the grass and trees are still sluggish in early spring, the camellias, spring plums, rhododendrons placed on the windowsill table, and the yellow orioles and thrushes in the birdcage under the porch can make the courtyard vibrant. There are also several famous prostitutes in Hangzhou Fengyue Field who came to accompany the scene, singing and dancing, music and laughter, and the garden is full of spring.
Most of the guests invited were pharmacists in the guild, and Zhang Tianyi introduced to the host that the two who came with him were the sons of the big bosses, and the host's family was very hospitable. Halfway through the banquet, listening to Zhang Tianyi and the medicinal herb merchant talking about the business and bargaining, Qiu Yinming and Long Shao both felt that it was not very interesting and left the banquet. The master immediately summoned two beautiful prostitutes and let them accompany them to enjoy and play at will.
At this time, the two of them sat in the small pavilion on the top of the rockery by the window, one prostitute held the flute and played an elegant tune slowly, and the other stood and poured wine. Long Shao looked sideways at the garden, tasting the wine in the cup, looking leisurely. Qiu Yinming's hand on the table was clenched into a fist, and he asked, "Why did you attack her?" Where did she offend you? ”
"No why." Long Shao turned his gaze and did not shy away from it, "Master wants to dominate, and I will remove all obstacles for him." She is a pillar of the Western Sea Alliance, and sooner or later she will be a scourge. He sighed lightly and said, "If you knew that you were Master's son and she was your woman, why bother." ”
"Bastard." Qiu Yinming gritted his teeth and said, "But you tell me, who came up with this idea in the first place?" ”
Long Shao took a sip of the wine in the cup, stared at Qiu Yinming's eyes and said, "Is this important?" Anyway, I shot the poisoned arrow. A hint of mockery appeared on his lips and he said, "If I tell you that I regret it, do you believe it?" He leaned forward slightly, "If you do it, you do it." How many reasons to have! To tell you the truth, her father personally traveled to Wushan and asked me the same question. Later, I didn't admit it. There are so many unscrupulous people in the world. Chaoqiu Yinming raised his chin, "Can you say that you are white?" Even if you are innocent now, can you be innocent for the rest of your life? ”
Qiu Yinming's clenched fist loosened. Long Shao saw it in his eyes, "sneered", and said, "Now they are all their own people, confess." I don't believe it, you are really a decent gentleman. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, how many have you done? ”
Qiu Yinming was calm and calm, and said without pain: "I have a clear conscience, and I don't need others to comment on it." ”
Originally, his anger made Long Shao feel a little strangely refreshing, but it can be seen that he quickly calmed down, but Long Shao was a little faintly disappointed, and turned his head to the flute prostitute and said, "Change the tune." ”
As soon as the flute turned, Fang was the tune of Qingling and secluded, and now there was a little bit of clear and beautiful jumping, which was very pleasant, it was "Falling Plum". Long Shao's eyes darkened, his brows were slightly locked, as if he suddenly had something tangled in his heart, and looked out the window.
"Second Zhuang Master, I understand your filial piety to your father and the brotherhood of Zhu Zhuang Zhuang." Qiu Yinming's low and slow voice pulled Long Shao back from his contemplation, "My father is famous all over the world, and although there are many people who come to serve, there are a few who can be like you. I think it's mostly through the high branches in the hope of getting a piece of the pie in the future, which is okay, but the trouble is that if there are honey-bellied sword disciples lurking in it, they will seize the opportunity in the future, and they will steal the day. ”
Long Shao guessed who he meant, but he refused to relax, and sneered: "The thief shouts to catch the thief." ”
Qiu Yinming was not annoyed, and replied: "Although I don't dare to call myself a gentleman, do I have any plans against my biological father?" You also know that my father is extraordinary, although the owner of Zhu Zhuang has a heart, but he may not be powerful, if you and I are-for-tat, we will not be able to compete for the Xihai Alliance at that time, which is also reasonable. Long Shao said: "What kind of calculation are you making?" The leader of the West Sea Alliance will be your father-in-law sooner or later, if you are willing to stand on our side and be his enemy, it can really be regarded as a two-faced sword. After that, he looked at him proudly and smiled, and said, "Miss Evergrande's eyes are really not flattering." ”
"Say whatever you want." Qiu Yinming was still not annoyed, "You know in your own heart that father and son, master and apprentice, which one is more encrypted and inseparable." ”
This sentence really stabbed Long Shao's sore spot, making his face gloomy and his eyes look vicious. Qiu Yinming smiled slightly and said, "What's the hurry, in my opinion, my father is much more down-to-earth in believing in you than in me." In addition, I tell you the truth, the West Sea Alliance is not a harmonious group, and the real troublesome opponent may not be the leader of the alliance. Don't say that I have something to do with the Xihai League, you must already know the origin of my father and Mr. Qi, wouldn't it be thicker than me. As for what kind of medicine this Mr. Zhang, who sells medicines, you should pay more attention to it. My man said he had snuck out early this morning and had met some mysterious person. ”
Long Shao was taken aback: "What else do you know?" ”
"That's all. I can't hide it from you. ”
Long Shao glanced at him suspiciously, pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, I believe you for the time being." Whether you mean it or not, if there is a battle tonight, you will know immediately. ”
I don't know when Zhang Tianyi negotiated the price with the medicinal herbs, the banquet was halfway through, it was late, and the host wanted to stay, but because there was still a big thing to do in the evening, the three of them did not stay to eat, and returned to the inn quickly, without saying anything all the way.
When he arrived at the lobby of the inn, Qiu Yun had already come down, there was food on the table, and the number one master was all present, but it was Lu Changqing who had not shown up for the past two days who sat next to Qiu Yun and talked to him. Seeing outsiders, Lu Changqing got up and greeted the three of them with a smile on his face, and after taking a seat and being polite again, he learned that he had come to say goodbye and had just arrived.
Hearing that everyone was about to go to the appointment of the leader of the West Sea Alliance that night, Lu Changqing politely praised Qiu Yun for having such a mind, and said with concern that the current situation in the martial arts is turbulent, and the people are unpredictable. Nowadays, neutral sects such as Hengshan and Shenjian Villa, who are unwilling to come out on the cusp of this storm, have quietly left Hangzhou. Lu Changqing said that on the way back to his hometown, he would visit some heads of the family and say a lot of good words for Qiu Yun. is also thanks to his ability to speak well, and he originally withdrew when he heard the wind, and Mingzhe's trick to protect his life was said by him to be reasonable.
After dinner together, Lu Changqing got up to say goodbye, and Qiu Yinming sent him out of the door. The two walked a hundred steps away in parallel, Lu Changqing changed his face, and sighed a little melancholy: "I really can't imagine it, it turns out that things have come to this point." The old master is so high-flying, I'm afraid that returning to Chunlin Villa will not be a long-term solution. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qiu, it turns out that you and the grandmaster are father and son. May I dare to ask, what are your plans for the future? Seeing Qiu Yinming hesitate for a while, he explained: "I am an idler in the mountains, and it is enough to seek a clear name in the rivers and lakes, and I have no intention of attaching myself to power, let alone participating in any bloody battles." I hope that martial arts colleagues will be good friends from generation to generation and respect chivalry. If this Chunlin Villa and the Xihai Alliance are in full swing, out of morality and friendship, it is impossible to stay out of the world. Young Master Qiu, you understand, my sect has few people and is weak, and it can't withstand such storms. ”
Qiu Yinming said: "I can understand Brother Lu's intentions and hardships. To tell you the truth, it is difficult for me to ride a tiger, and every step is like the tip of a knife. My father's ambition is a son who has to support it, but in the old department of Chunlin Villa, I am still an outsider after all, not to mention all the mustards before, which made me enemies on all sides here. The Xihai Alliance also has an inseparable relationship with me, but the people on their side are not in agreement, the dark tide is surging, and no one can say what the situation will be in the future. In my opinion, neither side is reliable, and now I can only stay here and act as an opportunity, but there are still two brothers in Wuchang who recruit men for me and set up a reserve property, and I am afraid that these people will inevitably be involved. He shook his head, "I don't know what's going on over there." ”
Lu Changqing said: "The last time Gongzi Qiu helped him, I never had a chance to repay him. Why don't I take care of you when I go back to Wuchang this time? ”
"Isn't Brother Lu going to visit the famous places in the south of the Yangtze River?"
"Well, that's not an excuse. How can I feel that way now. ”
Qiu Yinming thought for a while and said, "Then I'll thank you first." So, he explained the situation of the mine in Daye County, Wuchang Mansion to Lu Changqing, and said: "Actually, the most important thing is to let Brother Chen and them have a good relationship with the local government and gentry. I will ask Liu Lihao to go back to do this, he is an expert, so I will ask Brother Lu to take care of him before this. Here in Chunlin Villa, no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely not let them embarrass you. ”
