Chapter 551: Bet
This old man is none other than Shen Canghai, the official head of the Shen family of the Golden Needle.
After listening to Shen Canghai's words, many elderly clansmen also nodded helplessly and sighed: "Alas, what the head of the family said is right, our Shen family has always been based on the rivers and lakes with the life of hanging pots to help the world, that is, acting among the various factions of the martial arts, and always upholding it." People don't offend me, I don't offend people's purpose, so there is a hundred years of reputation that has been accumulated with great difficulty, if we rashly do it to the common people, it is not played by people with a heart afterwards, and the name of indiscriminate killing of innocent people will never be washed away. ”
“……”
Suddenly, a melancholy mood enveloped the heads of the people of the Shen family of the Golden Needle, and everyone lowered their heads silently, really unable to think of how to act in order to solve this matter satisfactorily.
It was at this time.
"Report!"
The disciple of the Shen family who led Zuo Yang to this place had already come to the door of the hall, and then he bent down and arched his hand, and reported loudly to Shen Canghai on the Taishi chair in the south of the hall, "Family master, a young man with a golden needle came outside to ask to see, and the disciple personally inspected the golden needle, which is indeed a token of our Shen family, so I brought him over." ”
"Oh?"
Shen Canghai responded, and when he raised his eyes, he had already seen Zuo Yang who was following behind the disciple, but then there was an unfamiliar look in his eyes.
"Who is this?"
"I've never seen it before, I look very young......
"Our Shen family's golden needle is not easy to give to others, and only the head of the family and Uncle Tianhuai are qualified to give it, so how did this person get it?"
Everyone also looked at Zuo Yang with curiosity, and began to secretly guess his identity in their hearts.
"Dare to ask your Excellency ......?"
Shen Canghai, the head of the family, was on the spot, so naturally it was not the turn of others to ask, and he only looked at Zuo Yang for a moment, and then a polite smile appeared on his face, and he asked.
"Big brother, I know this young man, and the golden needle in his hand was given to him by me."
Without waiting for Zuo Yang to answer, Shen Tianhuai on the side had already stood up and introduced Shen Canghai and the others with a smile, "Do you remember that I went to Suzhou City to investigate the plague before?" At that time, this young man helped me a lot, and even single-handedly razed the thieves' dens entrenched in Suzhou City, and the exact news that the plague incident I brought back was actually related to the Dongying Japanese Invaders, and it was also obtained from the letters seized by this young man, so I saw that this young man was righteous and Bo Yuntian, so I gave him the golden needle. ”
After speaking, he naturally didn't neglect Zuo Yang, and hurriedly ordered: "Come on, why don't you hurry up and watch the tea on the seat, do you want the young man to think that our Shen family has no courtesy?" Shaoxia, don't stand outside the door, please come in and catch up. ”
After such an introduction, everyone in the Shen family naturally looked at Zuo Yang a lot, came up to greet him one by one, and finally arranged him on a chair next to Shen Tianhuai.
"It doesn't have to be so polite......"
In the face of such enthusiasm, Zuo Yang was a little embarrassed, so he had to return the salute again and again.
"Alas! Shaoxia deserves such courtesy, our Shen family has always respected chivalrous people like you, but until now, I still don't know who Shaoxia's surname is, and where he studied from? ”
Shen Tianhuai asked again with a smile.
"If you go back to your predecessors, you will be called to be an iron mouth and cut off, and you will learn from the Shifting Flower Palace."
Zuo Yang stood up again, bowed to Shen Canghai, Shen Tianhuai, and the rest of the Shen family one by one, and then said truthfully with a smile.
Unlike many previous tasks, this time he came to the Shen family to ask for help, so it was naturally best to lower his posture, and there was no stake between the two, this kind of normal and formal contact had no need to hide his identity at all, otherwise if there was any unnecessary misunderstanding because of this, it would be very unbeautiful.
"Shifting Flower Palace? Could it be that the young man is the unique and flawless son of the Flower Shifting Palace!? ”
After listening to Zuo Yang's words, everyone instantly guessed Zuo Yang's identity, and they were taken aback at the moment, and at the same time, they looked at Zuo Yang many times again.
After all, although the Shifting Flower Palace has rarely made appearances in the rivers and lakes in recent years, the reputation of the Xichi Palace Master and the unconventional style of the Shifting Flower Palace have also left a very deep impression on the various sects in the rivers and lakes...... And the unique male of the Shifting Flower Palace, the Innocent Child, such a special and unique identity, is naturally difficult to ignore, and even sometimes, the Innocent Son himself represents the entire Shifting Flower Palace.
"I've seen all the seniors in the next place."
Zuo Yang smiled humbly and nodded slightly.
"Hahaha, I should have thought of it a long time ago!"
Without waiting for everyone to react again, Shen Tianhuai next to him had already patted the handrail and stood up, laughing and praised, "It seems that a young and promising young talent like Shaoxia must be a talent that all sects and factions compete for in the rivers and lakes, how can he be nameless, it was also my clumsy eyes, and I actually wanted to accept Shaoxia as a disciple, but I didn't know that Shaoxia had already fallen into his family." ”
"The seniors praised it falsely, and it was just a fluke in the next."
Zuo Yang was praised for being very comfortable, but he still said very humbly.
"Okay, good, with such achievements at a young age but not arrogant or impatient, with this virtue alone, the young man will definitely be known in the world in the future."
Shen Tianhuai was still praising him over there, and on the other hand, he did not leave the head of the Shen family with the golden needle cold, and introduced him to him, "Shaoxia, this is the head of my family, and it is also my eldest brother - Shen Canghai, Shaoxia came to the Shen family with the golden needle this time, presumably he should have encountered something that needed the help of the Shen family, you might as well take this opportunity to say it first, my eldest brother is open-minded and reasonable, if he can help, he will definitely help." ”
"Yes, Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Seeing Shen Tianhuai say this, Shen Canghai on the Taishi chair also said with a smile.
"In that case, there will be no beating around the bush."
Zuo Yang didn't come here to reminisce, since the people of the Shen family took the initiative to bring it up, he naturally wouldn't be polite, no matter what, he had to explore the attitude of the Shen family first, so he smiled and said to Shen Canghai directly, "Actually, this is the case, there is a friend who was born with damaged meridians, resulting in frail and sick since he was a child, and he has asked countless doctors to cure it, and now this friend's life is in danger, and I heard that the Shen family's unique mastery has a miraculous effect on dealing with this disease, so I specially came to your mansion for help, I hope that the seniors can come to the rescue. ”
"Hahaha, if that's the case, Shaoxia can be regarded as finding the right person."
After hearing this, Shen Tianhuai was already laughing very confidently.
"For the old man, this matter is just a gesture."
Shen Canghai also nodded confidently, looked at Zuo Yang with a smile and said, "It's just that before that, the old man still has to ask one more question according to the rules of the Shen family, what is the identity of the person Shaoxia wants to save." ”
"If you go back to your predecessors, this person is a family member of Murong Villa, called Murong Yan."
Zuo Yang knew that Murong Yan's identity would definitely not be able to be hidden, coupled with Shen Canghai's stubbornness, in order to prevent it from becoming self-defeating in the end and delaying Murong Yan's life, he didn't plan to hide it from them at the beginning, but only planned to solve the problem in an extremely positive way.
"Murong Villa?"
Hearing these four words, Shen Canghai's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and then his face sank again, just as the nurse of Murong Villa said before, he was unwilling to make a move for the people of Murong Villa.
In addition to him, Shen Tianhuai's brows also furrowed slightly, and after looking at Zuo Yang who was silent for a moment, he finally said, "Shaoxia, if Shaoxia wants to save other people, the Shen family will definitely help with this golden needle alone, but if it is Murong Villa...... I'm afraid I'm going to have to run away in vain. ”
"Why is that?"
Zuo Yang deliberately pretended not to understand and asked strangely.
"The young man doesn't know that the Shen family has three incurables: one is not to treat the arrogant and unreasonable people; Second, people who do not treat wealth and light on body; Three incurables are the people who bring disaster to the world. ”
Shen Tianhuai shook his head and explained slowly, "And that Murong Villa boasts of Emperor Yan's relics, and fantasizes about recovering the great cause all day long, so he has done many unseemly things in private, and even sacrifices the lives of the people in the world...... Such a person who is a disaster to the world, it is absolutely impossible for the Shen family to come to the rescue, so this golden needle should be taken back by the young man, if there are other things that need help in the future, it can still be counted. ”
“……”
It turned out that this was the case, after listening to Shen Tianhuai's explanation, Zuo Yang thought for a while, and then asked, "I don't know if your mansion has received the news, now that Murong Villa has changed owners, Murong Qing, the son of Murong, is in charge?" ”
"Naturally, I know that although Murong Qing's reputation is acceptable, it can't hide what the Murong family did in the past."
Shen Tianhuai said again.
"But there is one thing that your mansion must not know, now Murong Villa has become a related sect of the Shifting Flower Palace, everything is based on the Shifting Flower Palace, a few days ago, the Dongying Wokou made trouble everywhere, it was Murong Villa who secretly helped me, so I was able to cut off the head of Sato Kenshin in one fell swoop."
Zuo Yang continued to argue with reason, "This matter alone is enough to prove Murong Qing's determination to turn back with the prodigal son of Murong Villa, so I hope your mansion can give them a chance, not to mention that Murong Yan is just a family member of Murong Villa, no matter how much Murong Villa does, it doesn't have much to do with her, can't she be accommodating?" ”
"This ......"
Shen Tianhuai was suddenly stopped by Zuo Yang's words, and showed a slight hesitation.
"Young man!"
At this time, Shen Canghai finally stood up, looked at Zuo Yang and said in an unquestionable tone, "Shaoxia, the Shen family has its own rules of the Shen family, no matter who can influence the Shen family's decision, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, if Shaoxia has nothing else to do, now the Shen family is also very chaotic, Shen will not be polite to Shaoxia, please go back." ”
This is a direct order to expel the customer, and it seems that there is no way to convince this stubborn old man with just one mouth.
So, Zuo Yang pondered for a moment, and finally said with a smile again: "What the predecessors said is good, the Shen family is really in chaos now, if this matter cannot be properly resolved, the disciples of the Shen family will not even be able to go out, and their reputation will definitely be seriously damaged...... Forgive me for saying something that shouldn't be said, the seniors, as the head of the Shen family, don't seem to be very competent, maybe this has a lot to do with the stubbornness of the seniors. ”
“!?”
As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly seemed to be frozen, and the silence was a little terrifying, no one could have imagined that Zuo Yang would dare to go to the Shen family of the golden needle to say such a thing, even Shen Tianhuai had never thought about it.
After a while, someone finally reacted and immediately scolded:
"Speak wildly!"
"Even if you are a flawless son, don't think about it today!"
"Is it true that my Shen family is muddy? Please order the head of the family to order immediately, take down this thief and correct the name of the Shen family! ”
“……”
This is simply a blatant provocation, and there are really few people in the rivers and lakes who dare to run to other people's territory alone, pointing at the nose of other people's family owners, and counting them down, it is simply looking for death!
"Shut up!"
The expression on Shen Canghai's face was also quite angry, he first shouted to stop everyone in the Shen family, and then looked at Zuo Yang coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "You said that the old man is incompetent, if it were you, how to properly solve the situation in front of you, and at the same time protect the reputation of the Shen family...... If you can say it, the old man will spare you from dying, if you can't say it, then don't blame the old man for not giving you face to the master of Xichi Palace, and he will forcibly leave you in the Shen family! ”
"Why should I tell you?"
Zuo Yang rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.
"You!"
Shen Canghai's beard suddenly exploded in anger, and with a shake of his body, his right hand was already slapped on a wooden table beside him.
"Boom!"
Shen Canghai is also a master of the "Grandmaster" realm like Lord Nian Luoba, how can that ordinary table withstand this full palm, it naturally collapsed in an instant, shattering into sawdust sticks on the ground.
“!!!”
Seeing this situation, everyone in the Shen family felt an unprecedented pressure.
They know Shen Canghai's temperament, as a doctor, Shen Canghai's concentration and patience are definitely much stronger than ordinary people, so that many of them have lived in the Shen family for most of their lives, and they have never seen Shen Canghai so angry, which shows how much Zuo Yang's previous performance is owed, almost to the extent that a dead person can be angry.
"Young man! If you know how to advance or retreat, immediately apologize to the head of the family and ask for forgiveness, otherwise I won't be able to help you! ”
Shen Tianhuai on the side also had a straight face, putting pressure on Zuo Yang, although he was caught in the middle, he was still a member of the Shen family after all, so he naturally wanted to stand on the side of the Shen family.
"Apologize? Inexistent! ”
Zuo Yang looked at Shen Canghai neither humbly nor arrogantly, and without waiting for everyone to be angry, he said again, "Do you dare to bet with me, if I can't solve the Shen family's predicament, how to deal with it; But if I can solve it satisfactorily, it will prove that the senior's way of doing things really needs to be changed, and the senior will make an exception for me and take action for Murong Yan, how about it? ”
