Surrounded by willows, lotus reeds, small bridges and pavilion trees, mountains and waters, like a fairyland on earth, a piece of elegance, there are several grass houses.

Bypassing a spring, there is a small bridge in front of you, and there is a grass pavilion next to the bridge, which is very simple. There is a wooden workshop not far from the small bridge, and there are four big characters on it, "Penglai is close at hand".

Go further, only dozens of steps, and see a wooden workshop, on which there are still four ancient big characters: "Gu Zhan gentleman".

The grass sandwich path, walking through a bamboo forest, in front of Huo Ran cheerful, a few grass houses, is the first academy in Lantian: Yingzhou Academy.

The mountain chief of the academy here is named Lin Yuhan, the word Boju, and the number is like water. This is the Longxi Di Dao people, the young man, the official to supervise the imperial history, the living house, the middle-aged Zhishi, the hair into the Tao, in the court for Confucianism, in the opposition for the Tao, but also chic very.

Lin Shan has been in the Tao for ten years, and returned to the vulgar, opened this Yingzhou Academy, concentrated on lecturing, Guanzhong talents are mostly gathered under his disciples, is a famous Confucian in Guanzhong, and has a very high reputation among the celebrities of the Guan Sergeant clan.

But few people know that this Lin Shan Chang has been in the eyes of the old lady Li of Longxi since he was a teenager, and it is precisely because of the cultivation of the Li family in Longxi that he has a lofty position in Shilin today, and this person is now in charge of the Heavenly Viewing Department of the Succession Hall.

Early in the morning, Zhang Zirui rushed to the academy with the four treasures of the study and the scrolls and papers. Zhang Zirui is a native of Lantian County, with hundreds of acres of fertile land at home, two workshops, and three shops in Chang'an South City.

This son is young and intelligent, very studious, and is favored by Lin Shanchang, and is Lin Yuhan's personal disciple. He must come to the academy every day, no matter the cold or summer, rain or shine, and he is always the first to come.

When Zhang Zirui arrived at the college, he knew that he had come early, so he first went around to the grass house behind, a low fence wall, there was a clay stove in the corner, and a scholar was burning a fire there, Zhang Zirui knew that his teacher had the habit of getting up early to drink tea. Hurriedly quickened his pace.

Bypassing a trace of miscellaneous dwarf willows, Zhang Zirui suddenly felt that there seemed to be a cyan figure flashing in the courtyard, like a spirit fox running into the weeds outside the fence wall, Zhang Zirui was stunned, and then looked at the courtyard was still lonely. The child was cooking tea by the wall, and the gentleman was dressed in sackcloth like snow. Bo with a high crown. Dressed neatly at the stone table under the ancient acacia.

Zhang Zirui breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and said, "Zi Bu is strange and confused......

Zhang Zirui hurried over, opened the firewood, first gave Lin Yuhan a long look, and said respectfully: "Student Zhang Zirui has seen Mr. ”

Lin Shanchang sat on his back. Motionless, the scholar who was cooking tea by the wall turned around and said happily: "It's the most ...... of Zhang Jialangjun again."

The scholar didn't finish his sentence, and suddenly his face changed greatly. The voice was choked in his throat and could no longer be spoken, he stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed at Lin Yuhan, trembling for a long time, and suddenly screamed, and fell on his back.

The scholar fainted beside the stove, and the firewood and grass in the stove were about to burn his clothes, Zhang Zirui was shocked, and quickly threw down the four treasures of the study, pounced on and dragged the scholar away, and extinguished the fire with a slap, and looked back with palpitations, Zhang Zirui also screamed, although he did not faint on the spot, but his hands and feet were cold, and his face was pale.

Lin Shanchang was still sitting on the stone bench, with a high crown and sackcloth like snow. But the red blood was draped down his face, covering his facial features, and his chest was bright red......

There is no green forest road in Chang'an, but there is an underworld.

It is the underworld that entangles a group of scoundrels, who specialize in abduction and extortion in the streets. It is also the underworld that controls all the gambling houses in the city, but the status of the two is very different. There are only three people in Chang'an who can really be called the underworld uncle, and Wu Ran is one of them.

Wu Ran lived in Chang'an City, but his business was on the Chang'an Ancient Road to Guanlong in the west, and all the underworld transactions on the road from Guanlong to Chang'an were controlled by him, and there were six or seven hundred brothers under him.

The big people on the underworld in Chang'an know how powerful Second Master Wu is, but they don't know that the reason why Second Master Wu is called Second Master is not only because he is second, but also because there is another person behind him, and that person is called Shen Mu.

Wu Ran's open business in Chang'an is to sell wine, Wu Ran himself is also good at drinking, usually he will sit in the counter, a plate of smoked pig's ears under the wine, half a day can drink a jar, if one day the person sitting behind the counter is replaced by the second shopkeeper, it must be Wu Da shopkeeper personally "into the wine".

After noon, Wu Ran sat at the counter, a plate of pig ears and a jar of old wine, pouring himself and drinking, enjoying himself. Suddenly, a cart pulled by a small donkey came in front of the store, and a large wine sea was placed on the cart. Wu Ran glanced at it, but didn't care at all, just thought it was from home to buy wine.

The vendors who sell loose liquor in Chang'an City usually sell liquor by car. Those who carry and sell wine will carry a wine man on each side of the flat burden, and walk through the streets and alleys to sell it to the people. If you sell alcohol in a car, you put a big wine in the car.

"Tell the shopkeepers, let your shopkeepers come out! You guys sell fake wine in this shop, and the fake wine is mixed with water, it's really unconscionable! Come out and call your shopkeepers out! ”

There were four or five people around the donkey cart, and they were bluffing as soon as they arrived at the store. The guy who greeted him diligently and went out was also pushed by them. Wu Ran frowned, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He naturally knows whether he has ever sold fake wine in his shop. Looking at these people who came to denounce them, although they were dressed as ordinary wine sellers, they shrugged their shoulders and tiptoed, and they looked frivolous, and they looked like they were dressed as splashes in the streets. And the footman who led the donkey had a wooden face, which was incompatible with these splashes, and it was obvious that he was not a person all the way.

With Wu Ran's eyesight, he could see at a glance that this was a group of pimples who hired a footman to get some fake wine to blackmail in their own store. Wu Ran was a little funny, the bamboo knock actually hit the head of his thief ancestor, this group of blind thieves is really interesting.

This shop is Wu Ran's den of thieves, everyone in the store is Wu Ran's henchmen, even if a guy has a superb martial arts, it is naturally easy to deal with a few splashes. But after all, they have a public identity to open a store, and they can't be full of old punches as soon as someone comes to the door to look for it.

Besides, these people shouting in front of the door have attracted many neighbors and pedestrians, if they are driven away, this bad reputation for selling fake wine will definitely spread, so the guy is not annoyed, he still has a smile on his face, but his eyes are a little cold.

"You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Our old Wu family store has been selling wine for many years, and no one has ever said that our store sells fake wine, let alone mixed with water. These guest officers are nervous, the little one doesn't remember that you have drunk in my store, if you don't recognize the wrong person, then please show evidence, otherwise ......"

Several guys in the store went out and surrounded the hawkers who were carrying wine, and the second steward of the store slowly paced out with a gloomy face.

"Ouch! Not to mention that you sell fake wine, you still want to bully people! Fathers and fellow villagers, you big guys give comments, do we seem to be deliberately blackmailing? The Wu family's old store sells fake wine, which can make us miserable, we have a small business, and we can't stand the toss! ”

"Folks, the Wu family's hometown is a black shop!"

Wu Ran was furious, slammed the wine glass, pushed open the small door next to the counter and strode out.

The second steward hurriedly greeted him and said, "The big shopkeeper!" ”

Wu Ran pushed him away and said loudly: "The wine in the old man's shop, move out a jar of everything, please taste it, if there is a jar that is the same as the fake wine in your wine sea, it is the fake wine sold by the old man." The old man took off the liquor license, and from now on he will not do this business, and he will pay you ten times the wine money! If there is no fake wine in our shop, hey ......"

Wu Ran said as he strode forward, his burly and majestic figure and non-angry and self-righteous appearance made the most ferocious one shrank a little.

Wu Ran walked to the car, stretched out his hand and patted it on the sea of wine, sneered "hey", and wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly, the change suddenly occurred. The somewhat shrunken cheeky man suddenly looked terrible, took a step forward suddenly, and suddenly arrived in front of Wu Ran, his fists came out together, and he slammed it into his chest.

I saw a little chill between his fists, obviously carrying a hidden weapon. Wu Ran was taken aback, how experienced he was, as soon as he saw the ambush, he immediately retreated, not wanting to fight with him at all, this retreat was really the best choice, not only did he avoid the Ling powerful blow of the person carrying the hidden weapon, but the two black fists on the left and right that suddenly smashed into his ribs also failed.

As long as Wu Ran took two more steps back and retreated behind his men, no one would be able to hurt him in the slightest, at this moment, the donkey leader who had been wooden and restrained suddenly moved, and a treacherous and gloomy smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and his originally very honest face with such a gloomy smile looked extremely terrifying.

As soon as he raised his hand, the horsewhip in his hand stabbed straight at Wu Ran. His position was still some distance away from Wu Ran, and he could not pose a threat to Wu Ran, if he attacked with a punch, he would have time to block it completely with Wu Ran's martial arts, but with the length of the horsewhip, it was enough to touch Wu Ran in an instant.

Wu Ran shot like electricity, grabbed the bamboo pole, laughed cruelly, tightened his five fingers, only heard the sound of "snap", and the thin handle of the horse whip rod was pinched and cracked by him, but the horse whip was not broken in response, the bamboo pole cracked, and a thin and tough iron thorn suddenly drilled out of it, piercing out of his palm, like a snake spitting out.

Wu Ran's neck artery was devoured by the "poisonous snake", and the blood was marked. All this happened in an instant, and when the stewards of the Wu family's old store roared and pounced, Wu Ran had already covered his bloody neck and fell on his back.

The glass of water and wine on the counter in the old store of the Wu family, after being eaten by Wu Ran, is still rippling, and the wine is rippling with the endless stories behind ....... (To be continued......)
