Chapter 5 Straw for life

Shen Yan stood quietly in front of the window of a private room on the third floor, gently pushed open the window and looked at Qin Shui at dusk, the golden sunset was sprinkled on the water, and Qin Shui was shining like a magical little star. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you Gongzi for your help today, otherwise we will inevitably get into an inexplicable lawsuit in Wangjianglou." Cheng Ke'er's white right hand made a gesture of please, and a trace of gratitude appeared in her bright eyes, "I should have thanked Gongzi at that time, but the scene was chaotic at that time, so I had to arrange for Gongzi to rest first, and I hope Gongzi will not blame him for his neglect." ”

"It's just a matter of effort." After half a day's rest, Shen Yan's spirit recovered.

"It's a gesture for the son, but for us Wangjianglou to avoid an inexplicable lawsuit, for me it is not inferior to the grace of reconstruction, and now I have a thin wine and hope that the son will appreciate his face." A middle-aged man in a gray short shirt had a hearty smile on his face.

"This is our master Uncle Lin." Cheng Ke'er had an indifferent smile written on her delicate cheeks, pointed to the middle-aged man in gray shorts and introduced it to Shen Yan, and then pointed to a man in a cyan robe who was about fifty years old, "This is the seventh uncle of our shopkeeper in Wangjiang Tower." ”

"I've seen two." Shen Yan smiled faintly and gestured to his chin, "I'm just a person in distress below, I don't know if I'm full tomorrow after today, and I can eat such a sumptuous banquet today, how can I talk about rewarding my face or not." ”

"Childe is too modest." Cheng Ke'er's face was suspicious, but when she saw Shen Yan's dress, she realized some details that she had ignored before, "Childe has a great mind, and the predicament in front of him is just an ordeal. ”

"The owner, it's not good, there are a lot of ruffians and officials downstairs." When Shen Yanzheng didn't know whether to say that he should borrow your auspicious words or be embarrassed, an anxious voice came from outside the private room.

"I wanted to have a good banquet for my son, but I was disturbed by some trivial matters, and I hope my son will forgive me for one or two." Cheng Ke'er's brows frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed quickly in her eyes.

"It doesn't matter." Shen Yan's mind appeared with Doctor Luo's eyes leaving with hatred, and he knew that this matter would not be easily stopped, "Let's go down and take a look." ”

With Cheng Keer and the others coming to the lobby, Shen Yan leaned on the stairs, only to see Dr. Luo standing by the counter, with a hint of pride in his expression, behind him stood more than a dozen cyan short-beaten people, holding wooden sticks with unruly faces, standing on the side of the hall with four servants, looking indifferent, facing the corner of the stairs sat two young men in brocade, one with a slightly pale face, holding a folding fan, fanning in a chic manner, and the other staring at Dr. Luo and others with a slightly complicated expression, Shen Yan saw this scene, A faint smile flashed across his face.

"Cheng Dongjia, we meet again." Seeing the person in charge appear, Dr. Luo glanced at Cheng Ke'er with an arrogant expression, and said in a slightly lowered voice, "I said that things at noon will not be good." ”

"What do you want? They all said that the incident at noon was an accident. Looking at Dr. Luo's invincible look, Cheng Keer was angry.

"Accident?" The corners of Dr. Luo's mouth flashed with a sneer, "When Xu Dagui had food poisoning at noon, we were all stunned, and we happened to be fooled by you, we originally thought about the reputation of Wangjianglou's century-old store and stopped, but your style of disregarding human life really makes me feel cold, and today Wangjianglou will not give a reasonable explanation, we will not give up." ”

"You deceive people too much!" Cheng Keer pointed at Dr. Luo, trembling slightly with anger.

"Joke, you Wangjianglou didn't pay attention to food safety and caused food poisoning to customers, and you didn't think about solving it properly after the incident, and said that we deceived people too much." Dr. Luo's face was cold, and he pointed at Cheng Keer domineeringly.

"Wow, that's really hilarious." Shen Yan wanted to quietly enjoy the scene in front of him, but for some reason an inexplicable emotion surged in his mind when he saw Cheng Ke'er being bullied by Dr. Luo, "Isn't this Dr. Luo, why are you so free to come to Wangjianglou for a party again, I don't know what Dr. Luo wants to eat?" ”

"Boy, how do you talk to Dr. Luo." A cyan short-beaten young man glanced at Dr. Luo flatteringly, brandished a wooden stick, and arrogantly pointed at Shen Yan and scolded loudly.

"Ah, I'm so scared." Shen Yan patted his chest gently, his expression was extremely exaggerated, "The master hasn't spoken yet, and I didn't think that the dog would steal the limelight from the owner." ”

"Boy, who do you say is a dog?" The arrogant young man first hit the counter with a wooden stick, and then pointed at Shen Yan with a wooden stick and said loudly.

"Whoever barks is whoever." Shen Yan gently plucked his ears with the little finger of his right hand, and then blew lightly on his fingers, looking at the arrogant young man with disdain.

"You kid is looking for ...... death," the arrogant young man waved his wooden stick angrily and rushed towards Shen Yan.

"You see, the master didn't say anything, and the dog began to bark again." Facing the arrogant young man, Shen Yan looked at Doctor Luo without changing his face, his eyes were full of provocations that seemed to see through everything, and he muttered in a low voice, "After the vicious battle on the edge of the forest, I was still afraid of fighting." ”

The reason why Shen Yan is so sure is that he believes that this fight can't be fought, although there are more than a dozen people gathered around Dr. Luo, all of them have fierce and vicious expressions, their real purpose is to support the scene and smash the field, not to fight, and there are four people in the lobby, they are obviously colluding together, and they are forcing Cheng Keer to give in by means of intimidation to achieve their expected goal.

"That's enough." Sure enough, just as Shen Yan was determined, Doctor Luo stretched out his hand to grab the arrogant young man, scolded in a low voice, and then stared at Shen Yan with a cold look in his eyes, "Foreigner boy, thank you for telling me at noon that food is mutually reinforcing, otherwise we will definitely not be able to know about Wangjianglou's evil behavior of deliberately murdering Xu Dagui by this obscure means." ”

"High!" After listening to Dr. Luo's remarks, a mocking smile appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and he gave a thumbs up on his right hand, "It seems that Dr. Luo came prepared this time, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal." ”

"Outsider, this is a matter of waiting for Wangjianglou, you'd better not interfere." Seeing Shen Yan praising himself, Doctor Luo's expression was a little embarrassed, but then the scene when the master reprimanded him for not completing the task flashed in his mind, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but aim at the young man in brocade in the corner of the lobby.

"You're right." Shen Yan nodded lightly.

"Count you as a kid." Hearing Shen Yan's words, the corners of Dr. Luo's mouth rose slightly, and a confident smile appeared, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"How could Shen Gongzi be like this." A hint of loss appeared on Cheng Ke'er's face, but his face immediately returned to normal, "Shen Gongzi is not a relative, how can you ask him to help Wangjianglou say something." ”

"Doctor Luo, I wonder if I can ask you a question?" The corners of Shen Yan's mouth flashed with a faint smile, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes, staring at Dr. Luo, "I am a foreigner, penniless, and unfamiliar with life in Jinling City, fortunately, Cheng Dongjia saw that I took me in pitifully, and asked me to help in Wangjiang Tower, do you say that I should repay my kindness like this, or do I see someone bullying Cheng Dongjia and avoid it?" ”

"Boy, you dare to tease me." The smugness on Dr. Luo's face suddenly turned into annoyance, "It seems that your kid is toasting and not eating and drinking." ”

"Cheng Dongjia, you are going to see the official today, there are just a few big brothers from Jinling Mansion here, you want to be private, we can sit down and talk slowly." Doctor Luo couldn't wait to let the people around him beat Shen Yan to vent his hatred, but the task of taking Wangjiang Tower could not be lost, so he had to endure his dissatisfaction, and turned his head to Cheng Keer and said hypocritically.

"Doctor Luo, you are so unkind." Shen Yan deliberately pinched the orchid finger with his hand, pointed at Dr. Luo with a look of grievance, like an abandoned resentful woman, and then his face returned to normal, and he said seriously, "Doctor Luo, the purpose of a person's work is nothing more than fame or fortune. ”

"You don't hesitate to set up a situation with your human life, and you definitely won't do it for a few small bucks, right, Doctor Luo." Shen Yan's bright eyes revealed a hint of confidence, like a detective who had mastered all the clues, and glanced at Dr. Luo intently, "Since it's not for money, then for what?" ”

"Your purpose is Wangjiang Tower." Shen Yan glanced at Dr. Luo, and then glanced at the people in the lobby, "As we all know, Wangjianglou is not only a century-old store, but also a location backed by Qin Shui, which is a good place for literati and scholars to gather. ”

"Doctor Luo, if you don't understand the principle of food and mutual restraint, don't you look down on you?" Speaking of this, Shen Yan looked at Dr. Luo with a smile on his face.

"Clever tongue." Doctor Luo was greatly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this foreigner to figure out the means of seizing Wangjiang Tower, although he was surprised, but his face did not change in the slightest, "You said that I want to eat Wangjiang Tower, ridiculous, I am just a sitting doctor, where can I get such a big financial resource." ”

"Doctor Luo, it's not that I look down on you, it's a fool's dream to want to eat Wangjiang Tower with your strength, you are just a tool in the hands of some people, or even a dog with useful value." Seeing Dr. Luo's angry appearance, Shen Yan smiled indifferently, "Don't be angry, what I said is the truth." ”

"When a person is in adversity or extremely unconfident, he will always unconsciously want to find someone or something that can help him, just like a drowning person will always scratch things indiscriminately, the purpose is to find a life-saving straw." Shen Yan said this, his eyes showed a hint of indifferent sadness, "Maybe you didn't even notice it, just now your eyes unconsciously glanced at a corner of the lobby." ”

"Well said." At this moment, a hearty voice came from the gate of Wangjiang Tower.
