Chapter 53: Pressure

Xia Fanxing still went to ask the residence of the Hengdao people.

No way. This is very exciting news. His own master was a Taoist person, and he actually left the sect at such a time to accompany a woman shopping in Chang'an City? What is the relationship between the two of them? Why did he never know that his master was outside... But Xia Fanxing is not afraid to speculate with the worst thoughts. After all, after experiencing the matter of Xuan Neng, Xin Heng turned out to be not such a righteous gentleman.

As for the question of why he Xia Fanxing appeared here, Xia Fanxing thought. Since I have already seen Master come out to go shopping with others at such a time in the sect, am I still afraid that he will know about my affairs? Now he is not afraid to negotiate terms with Master.

What's more important is that in the past month, what has happened in the secret realm, what has happened in the Yin Sha Sect, and so many things that have happened in Chang'an City, he wants to talk to someone, and he has to find someone to talk about. Burdened with unknown secrets, he already has the feeling of being on his back.

After all, it's his own master. Xia Fanxing thought of the day before entering the secret realm, and his heart balanced his teachings. Therefore, Master should still be trusted, and it is still worth trusting.

"That Daoist Master spent a whole piece of gold to ask me to order boots, can you see if this is a little less?" the boss bargained in the not very fluent Central Plains dialect. Xia Fanxing looked at the silver ingot in his hand, gritted his teeth and took out another piece from the silver bag. The boss happily accepted it and told him the address that Xinheng had given him.

"Master Dao, the young lady just now seems to be a little afraid of the cold. So the Taoist chief told me to send it early, and I plan to let the guy do it as soon as possible, and it will be done in about three days. ”

Xia Fanxing said: "When the time comes, I will come to you and say that you will pay for me to send it." ”

Boss Hu thought about it for a while, and after making sure that there was no disadvantage to him, he responded with a smile. He opened his mouth again and said, "Dao Master, either the villain is talkative, or he is curious, what is the relationship between you and that Dao Master?"

Xia Fanxing thought about it, took out another piece of broken silver, and couldn't help but order with some pain: "Don't tell anyone about me and him today!"

The boss was happy - the middle-aged Taoist chief also stuffed a piece of broken silver to him, making him keep his mouth shut. These Central Plains people are really afraid to do things, and they have earned it again!

......

In the past few days, Xia Fanxing and the three of them have been going in and out of Qianshan Meijiu, buying one or two bottles of soju every day before leaving, but naturally they don't dare to drink it again.

Duan Qianshan came back in the afternoon, and when he saw that these guys who wanted to buy Jiannan Burning Spring, he really planned to wait for the new batch to come out of the cellar. Although it was still a problem for these people to learn about Jiannan's channel of burning spring, their own things were so loved that he was also happy in his heart, who was already an alcoholic. It's also a good idea to show off a few words of wine with them. Duan Qianshan even instructed his men to sell the unmixed vinegar soju to Qin Blind to drink, but unfortunately the three of them didn't know.

In order to understand the details of Qianshan Meijiu, the three of them also dealt with the winemaking guys in the cellar. Especially the adulteration project in Qianshan Meijiu, it was all done by the young man named Li Si, who is usually fine, but he may have been drinking a lot recently, and the amount of adulteration cannot be controlled, and he even did such a stupid thing as adulteration with vinegar.

But the other boys were obviously not interested in the brewing business, and working here was just a gangster life. Li He, these little gangsters, can talk to each other the most, and they smelled like each other on the first day. It is worth mentioning that after the relationship became acquainted, they told the three of them about Jiannan Yaochun without reservation, but as long as they hinted at the topic of bamboo leaf green wine, they suddenly became smart, and they all acted like walking on thin ice and kept silent.

And the three of them didn't intend to get any news from them. The best way, of course, is through Duan Qianshan, an alcoholic idiot. In Qin's blind words, the purpose of them doing this was to "put pressure" on Duan Qianshan. If they are familiar with the people of Qianshan Meijiu, or they are close to Duan Qianshan, it will be easier to try to talk to them. Of course, the most important thing to defeat Duan Qianshan is to have a pot of fine wine and its recipe.

Not only that, but starting the next day, the blind man Qin also followed Duan Qianshan to the so-called "drinking party" that he would go to every afternoon.

The beautiful name is "drinking party", but in fact, it is a gathering in the "Heyi Building" near Dongshi, occupying a few tables and chairs, dozens of drunkards asking for a few bowls of dry rice and soup, and a few pots of shochu, talking about their own "wine way", and drinking together. But it's also rare, and after a few years, these drunkards still get together and come here for fun whenever they have time.

The perennial reception is often filled with idlers. There were not a few copper coins in his pocket, so he gathered a piece of wine to drink. Over time, I also developed my own unique opinion on wine. Duan Qianshan obviously does not belong to this kind of poor people, but he is very interested in the unique "wine culture" of these drunkards, and even thinks that he can really inspire his own winemaking. Therefore, he can also be regarded as a big alternative to the Heyi Tower cocktail party!

Qin Blind has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and in order to win Duan Qianshan's trust, he also spoke out at the reception. Drinking, Lao Tzu knows a lot!

A few people came prepared, and Xia Fanxing and Li He even visited the neighbors in this alley in their spare time every day. There were some unexpected gains - I learned some about Duan Qianshan's life, and even some deeds about Qiu Wuyue.

When I first met Duan Qianshan, the aunt who chased him and scolded him on the street was surnamed Wang. Her husband died early and she had an only daughter. A few days ago, it happened to be the death day of my deceased husband, so I bought a few pots of wine from Chiyama Mijo and worshiped at home. After finishing it, I was reluctant to throw it away, and I drank it myself, but it was full of vinegar. It is simply disrespectful to the deceased to pay tribute to the deceased with fake wine. She immediately became furious, and as soon as she saw Duan Qianshan, she chased after him and scolded her.

Although Boss Duan's business is shameless, he is also a little conscientious. I felt sorry for it, and the next day I came to the door with the best soju to apologize. Aunt Wang scolded a few more words, and then she lost her anger. That night, the two carried a pot of Shanxi Fen wine bought in the market, and when they visited her, the aunt was chatting with each other, and inadvertently revealed some of the past stories of Duan Qianshan, an old neighbor.

β€”β€”More than ten years ago, when Duan Qianshan first came to this alley to open a winery. He has always been a fox friend outside, and he comes here every day to drink, draw fists and chat, and make the surrounding noisy.

However, at that time, the good thing was that Qianshan Meijiu had not yet begun to be mixed with water, so Aunt Wang often went to buy it. Almost every time I entered, there was a miasma of smoke, and several men were drunk. The strange thing is that such a group of rough people in the countryside, all of whom seem to be messing around, often play a gambling game called "pitching pots" in the winery.

This pot throwing game comes from archery, and in ancient times, the family feasted guests, and often invited archery as a ritual. At the time, it was a shame not to know how to shoot arrows, but remembering that some guests really couldn't shoot arrows, he invented this game of throwing arrows into a flask. This was originally a game for scholars to feast and drink, but I didn't expect these rough blanks to be played.

But she later heard that Duan Qianshan had a very good friend in the imperial court, and his official position was not small. The identity is mysterious, but he jokes that this person is an alcoholic, and he often comes to his store to buy alcohol and drink. Aunt Wang thought of the group of gangsters who often haunted Qianshan Meijiu, and actually played the game of throwing pots. Guessing that in the middle, is there a big official inside?

Aunt Wang said that when those gangsters saw her come in after they were drunk, their eyes were straight and their hands were very dishonest. It's really disgusting to watch, where do you think that there may be a big official mixed in the middle!

However, later, I don't know when, Duan Qianshan's contact with these people was broken, and he couldn't see those people when he went in the afternoon. Aunt Wang frowned and thought for a while, and said indignantly: "This Wang Balamb seems to have started selling fake wine at that time!"

This official went deep into the bottom and did not hesitate to lower his status. And that organization is also fanning the flames among the common people. Xia Fanxing thought of this and seemed to understand something.

In addition, there lived an old widower in the front alley, surnamed Wu, who liked to practice martial arts very much. Helplessly, he was old and frail, and he couldn't practice boxing anymore. He has a good relationship with Qiu Wuyue, and drunkards occasionally go to his side to sit when they go out. Xia Fanxing showed a heart-to-heart fist technique there, and the old widower was deeply amazed and talked happily with the two.

The two got an anecdote from Old Man Wu,β€”β€” Qiu Wuyue's father was not from a poor family. Both parents died when he was young. He once scattered all his family wealth and followed the former Zuo Jinwu general Pei Min to learn swords. But his talent is very low, and he only learns one and a half moves. But very seriously, General Pei Min took every word and deed to heart and excerpted it on paper. After Pei Min's death, he practiced hard and couldn't help it, and told Qiu Wuyue about the sword trick, but found that his son's talent was much higher than his own, and he practiced swords for several years, and his sword intent had already taken shape.

Lao Qiu didn't want to waste his son's talent, so he saved money for him to practice martial arts. Qiu Wuyue's mother was a spicy woman, watching her husband stubborn, she went back to her parents' house under the scolding and never came back. The most regrettable thing is that a year before Qiu Wuyue reached the age of martial arts, his old father fell ill and died. If the old enemy was still there, as a disciple of General Pei Min, those rich people who participated in the martial arts would not dare to bully him like this.

After getting these news, Xia Fanxing felt more and more that the big net that the mysterious organization had laid here in Duan Qianshan was about to be broken.
