There is a mansion not far from Wucheng Dongcheng and Liufu, only look at the towering gatehouse, the heavy black tung oil gate, the courtyard wall that extends from the shoulder of the gatehouse, and the four golden characters of "Huaiyang Bofu" on the door, it looks incomparably magnificent.

It is even more majestic and imposing than the mansion of Lord Zunliu of Wucheng Mansion.

The four little guys at the door stood on both sides, all dressed in black clothes and black pants, tall and stout, and even fierce. When an irrelevant person approached, he only made a face and frightened others away from it.

At this time, just after noon, there were very few people moving around, and the four little guys yawned idly and talked about the gambling money last night.

As soon as he said Xingtou, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and after a while, he came to the front, and the two of them, if Liu Cheng was here, they would recognize at a glance that they were his two friends, Ning Zhiyuan, the eldest young master of the Ning family, and Zhao Song, the second son of the Zhao family.

The Ning family and the Zhao family are both well-known wealthy businessmen in Wucheng, and the two have always been friends, and this Ning Zhiyuan and Zhao Song have the same smell, so it is even better.

"Young Master Ning, Young Master Zhao, you are here."

The little guy at the door flattered him.

This Young Master Ning and Zhao Gongzi are the guests of the uncle, so they naturally won't offend.

"Where's Uncle?"

Hearing Ning Zhiyuan's question, a small man replied respectfully: "Uncle is still in the mansion, or the two of you will wait in the mansion first, and the younger one will inform the uncle." ”

Before Ning Zhiyuan could speak, he heard a male voice smile heartily: "Ning boy, Zhao boy, you two came early." ”

"Uncle has an appointment, how dare we not come early and wait."

"Haha, Zhao boy, your mouth is sweet, much stronger than Ning boy."

"Hehe, Uncle Xie compliments."

The other quit, "How am I inferior to him." Uncle is really eccentric. ”

"Haha......"

Laughing out of the door was a medium-sized, round-looking and stocky man, in his early forties, with a kind face. It's just a face of flesh, and when I smile like this, both eyes are gone, as if Maitreya Buddha is reincarnated.

This person is Huaiyang Bo Cao Shen.

Huaiyang Bo Cao Shen is a real relative of the emperor, and two years ago he sent the eldest girl to the palace to participate in the general election. Unexpectedly looked down upon by the emperor, he stayed in the palace, and was named a noble man because of the emperor's favor.

Cao Shen, as the father of the nobleman, was given such a title by the emperor, but he only enjoyed the title without a title, and his descendants could not attack the title, which was regarded as a nominal name.

Even so, no one dared to underestimate him.

What's more, the Cao family in Wucheng and Cao Guifei, who is in power in the palace, are still distant relatives, and Cao Shen is Cao Guifei's distant cousin.

Huaiyang Bo, who has these backstage, is a special storage in Wucheng and does not hold an official position. is not constrained by officialdom, but no one in officialdom dares to provoke him.

Other Jianghu factions and **** forces have to take a detour when they see him, and no one wants to offend such a character who has to tremble when he stomps his feet in Wucheng for no reason.

If Ning Zhiyuan and Zhao Song are small gentlemen, then this Huaiyang Bo is an old gentleman.

Huaiyang Bo has two hobbies in his life, one is to visit the flower building, the other is gambling, he likes to gamble is not the dice in the casino, but the popular things of the aristocracy, such as dog fighting and cockfighting, the new one is dog fighting. Recently, a new way to play has come from the imperial capital, cockfighting.

No, as soon as lunch passed, Huaiyang Bo made an appointment with Ning Zhao's two fox friends and dog friends, and prepared to go to the Cao family's courtyard to preside over today's cockfighting competition.

As a representative of Wucheng Gentlemen. Huaiyang Bo has always been the caller and organizer of various activities, fully demonstrating the role of an example.

In order to better organize all kinds of activities, Huaiyang Bo also specially placed an industry as the base camp of the event, which is the Cao Family Courtyard.

Caojia Courtyard is located in the southwest of Beicheng. It is not very far from the flower street of Yanyu Lake, and it was originally placed in such a place to facilitate his visit to the flower building.

The three of them rode horses, and the three of them rode in cars, and they arrived at the annex in a short time.

At the gate, the housekeeper had already waited with the servants and took the three of them in.

"Are the guests here?"

Huaiyang Bo asked as he walked.

The housekeeper replied respectfully, "Young Master Chen, Master Wu, Young Master Zhang...... They're all here, waiting in the antechamber. ”

The housekeeper recited a list of names, all of whom often came and went to the Cao family's courtyard on weekdays and made good friends with their uncles.

"Well, it looks like it's just the three of us."

Huaiyang Bo smiled at Ning Zhao and the two behind him: "Ning boy, Zhao boy, you two are not allowed to rob me of the leader of the chicken king today." ”

Ning Zhiyuan had a bitter face, "Uncle is like this, isn't it just that the two of us won't be allowed to compete." ”

"Haha, Ning boy, you are so confident, okay, today I want to see if your rhubarb is better or my black male is better."

"Uncle, rhubarb is my dog."

"Uh, that'...... What's that chicken of yours? ”

"Erhuang."

"Alas, Ning boy, it's not Uncle I'm talking about you, you said that you have been reading for a few days, why don't you have any ink in your stomach, look at what your name is, and then look at what I called, Black Tiger, Black Male, how magnificent, how imposing."

Huaiyang Bo was proud, and Zhao Song laughed.

Ning Zhiyuan secretly rolled his eyes, and said that I have no ink on my chest, uncle, you are not much better, our eldest brother Mo laughs at the second brother, each other.

Everyone in the front hall heard Huaiyang Brown's laughter.

Everyone came out to give Huaiyang Bo a gift.

Whether it is age or status, Huaiyang Bo can be regarded as the boss in this group of people, so he accepted everyone's courtesy with peace of mind, and then led a group of people to the cockfighting arena.

The cockfighting arena is set up on an open field in the garden, enclosed by a wooden fence, and a circle of high seats is set up next to it, each table is placed with tea and fruit snacks, and there are many beautiful maids waiting next to it, responsible for pouring tea and wine.

If it is the first person to come back, he must greatly sigh that Huaiyang Bo will enjoy it, but this group is often frequent, and it is not strange to see it early, so they each found a place to sit down, and waited for the draw to decide the order of the battle.

Huaiyang Bo's black male really did it, and he passed all the way, fighting the other chickens so much that he had no power to fight back.

Huaiyang Bole couldn't stop laughing, the flesh on his body trembled, and the maid ring waiting behind him was stained, and he was beaten and tasted a silver ingot.

"Thank you, uncle."

Yahuan thanked her softly, which made Huaiyang even more happy.

"Ning boy, wait for me to come back, don't run away before you start a fight."

Huai Sunshine was full of pride, got up to change clothes, and didn't forget to laugh at Ning Zhiyuan.

was supported by two beautiful girls and went to the courtyard to the west. Those little guys who followed their own families were scattered on the periphery, chatting in twos and threes, and when they saw Huaiyang Bo, they were busy bowing and saluting.

"Have you heard that Dongxue, the sister of Drunken Chunlou, is going to redeem herself."

"Really, who did you listen to?"

"I still need to listen to who said, when I accompanied my young master, I heard with my own ears what the son said to Xie's mother, Dongxue is really a blessing, that son was born handsome, and he is not very old, and he will have a good life in the future."

The two little guys with their backs didn't know at all, and Huaiyang Bo behind them listened to it.

And the more I listened, the darker my face became, and a wave of anger welled up in my heart. (To be continued.) )
