Liu He said calmly: "Some people are like this, they don't know how to be watery, so they think that if they fall into the river, they will definitely die." But I've grown up so big, and I've never seen anyone drown in a ditch that isn't waist-deep. ”

When the young man heard this, he stopped struggling, got up from the water, looked down at the river that reached only the base of his thigh, and was stunned.

After a long time, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, he raised his head suddenly, but he could no longer find Liu He's trace.

Liu He, who left the young man behind, was already in a teahouse not far away at this time.

"Boss, I have already arranged for Tai Meng and Qian Zhuan to do the things you explained, but I don't understand something, this scholar is crazy, why do you bother with such idle things?"

Liu He picked up a bowl of tea and blew it gently, but he didn't rush to drink it, but put down the tea bowl again and said slowly: "What do you say is the most bitter thing in this world?" ”

Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

Liu He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the young man who was still standing in the water in the distance, "He loved that girl deeply, but because he couldn't break the door, he had to give up this relationship, but in his heart, he couldn't let go, and even began to hate that cowardly self." ”

Liu He retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Wei Xiao, "There are three hardships in the world, you can't ask for it, love parting, and hatred will meet, he has tasted them all." ”

Wei Xiao nodded silently and stepped aside, obviously understanding Liu He's intentions.

When Li Qin took the young man to change into clean clothes and came to the teahouse, the bowl of tea in front of Liu He had already bottomed out.

"What the hell is Childe doing?" As soon as he saw Liu He, the young man couldn't wait to ask.

Liu He smiled faintly, "You are really an urgent person, before I help you, you have to tell me what your name is." ”

Only then did the young man realize his gaffe, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "In the next Zhongli Xun." ”

"Zhongli?" Hearing this name, Liu He was a little surprised, "I didn't expect it to be a compound surname." ”

Zhong Lixun said respectfully: "Exactly, in the next Fu surname Zhong Li, the ancestor Zhong Lifu, was once a general under the account of the overlord of Western Chu. ”

Liu He gasped when he heard this, this Zhongli is so bold, no matter how he says it, this is still the world of the Han family, and he dared to call Xiang Yu, who competed for the world with Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, as the overlord of Western Chu, obviously he didn't take the son of heaven of the Han family in his eyes.

Fortunately, at this time, he was surrounded by Liu He's cronies, and he didn't have to worry about Zhong Lixun's words being heard by outsiders, but this kind of thing was better to say less.

Liu He hurriedly diverted the topic, "I have already arranged for someone to handle your business, and I can give you an answer today." ”

"So fast?" Zhongli Xun was taken aback, obviously not believing that such a difficult problem could be solved in one day.

Liu He looked at the unbelievable Zhong Lixun, smiled and said nothing, until he saw Tai Meng and Qian Zhuan standing outside the door, and then said to Zhong Lixun: "I'll go out, you are here, wait for good news." ”

Walking to the gate, Liu He turned around again and instructed: "Remember, no matter what you see or hear for a while, don't panic, don't speak, just keep smiling." ”

Zhong Li Xun was even more puzzled when he heard this, it could be seen that Liu He looked confident, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Liu He walked out of the door, and Tai Meng greeted him and said, "Boss, everything you asked us to do has been done, and the details of the two families have also been figured out." ”

Liu He looked up at the sky and waved his hand, "Let's be a little short on time, lead the way, go to the first one first, and talk while walking on the road." ”

Along the way, Tai Meng and Qian Zhuan told Liu He about the information they got one by one, and when they were almost introduced, the group also came to the first family that Tai Meng said, that is, outside the house of the rich merchant Tao.

"Lao Wei and I go in, you can just wait here, this matter, it's not easy to handle it with too many people." Liu He said, straightened his clothes, took Wei Xiao, and the two walked towards the gate together.

"Boss, what should I do in a moment?" Wei Xiao asked cautiously.

Liu He smiled playfully, "You don't have to do anything, just be on the side, let them know that I'm not an ordinary person." ”

Wei Xiao suddenly understood, and said respectfully with a posture that only the descendants of a large family would have: "Yes, son." ”

After some briefing, the servants of the Tao Mansion led Liu He and Wei Xiao to the meeting room.

Don't look at the gate of this pottery mansion, there is no mountain and no water, but there is a hole inside.

Not to mention the elegant attic and quiet corridors, the pots of precious flowers that can be seen everywhere in Nafu and the large pond located outside the meeting room are enough to show the wealth of the owner of the Tao Mansion.

The old man Tao was by the pond at this time, holding a piece of delicate pastry in his hand, breaking a small piece and scattering it in the pond, and suddenly countless koi fish surfaced to scramble.

Looking at the scene of these koi competing for food, Master Tao seemed to be very happy, and couldn't help laughing, but he turned a blind eye to Liu He and Wei Xiao who were standing aside.

"Master Tao is really interested." Liu Helang said.

Master Tao snorted coldly, didn't even raise his eyelids, and said arrogantly: "I can't imagine that a native bun from the countryside can recognize me as a koi." ”

In the face of this humiliating speech, Liu He laughed instead of being angry, "This pool of koi, the smallest, I think it is seven or eight inches." ”

"Let me tell you, the big ones are sinking at the bottom of the pool, and the biggest one, one foot three!" Master Tao looked proud.

Liu He nodded, and suddenly his face sank, "As far as I know, such a big koi is only found in the deep palace, and if the koi raised by the people is more than five inches, it is an arrogant move!" ”

Master Tao was shocked when he heard this, and then the arrogance on his face just now was gone, and he hurriedly threw down the pastry in his hand, and welcomed Liu He and Wei Xiao into the living room with a smile.

While instructing his subordinates to serve tea, he knocked on the side and said tentatively: "The two of you are so familiar with the rules of the palace, I don't know where to get high?" ”

Liu He stood in the middle of the living room, there was nothing behind him, but he sat back unhurriedly, Wei Xiao took a chair from the side with lightning speed, put it behind Liu He, and waited for his body to fall, and he happened to sit on the chair.

During the whole process, Wei Xiao did not make the slightest sound, and Liu He's face always had a flat look that seemed to be used to it.

The actions of the two were all seen by Master Tao. Able to accumulate family wealth to such an extent, he is naturally well versed in the way of observing words and feelings, although the young man sitting in the middle does not look special, but when he looks at the person next to him, he knows that he is a person who has been trained for many years and has a careful mind.
