Chapter 253 The Encounter of a Life Apart (I)
Zhao Ning returned to the cabin, and the flower girl with a cloak was brought to him.
When Hua Niang threatened the people in Tsing Yi before, she said that her master's family was extremely powerful in Yunzhou City, so Zhao Ning wanted to ask her master who her family was by the way, and whether she wanted to "visit" by the way this time.
Hua Niang, who had always been worried that she would be thrown into the river to feed the fish, so she was full of fear of Hu Honglian and others, found that she had not died in Yunzhou City, and she couldn't help but ignite a fire of hope in her heart.
The Fang family is strong and has interests in all walks of life, from the restaurant owner to the peddler's pawn, there will be no minions of the Fang family anywhere, although Hua Niang is just a character who is not in the stream, and she can't get on the stage, but because she runs a painting boat, when she was still in Yunzhou City in the past, she didn't entertain the characters of the three religions and nine streams, and she was especially familiar with the Fang family's low-level eagle dogs.
She was sure that as long as she was allowed to step off the ship, it wouldn't be long before the Fang family would know that she needed to be rescued, and they would send cultivators over in time.
She may just be a small person, but what is related to the face of the Fang family, in the Yunzhou territory, no one can move the Fang family's people and get out of the way, even if they move the Fang family's dog.
"The master's surname of the slave family is Fang, and the son only needs to inquire a little to know. Seeing that Gongzi is also a nobleman, if he wants to be a guest in Yunzhou City, the Fang family will inevitably do his best to be a landlord. A little misunderstanding before, the host family will definitely not care, and this is not a good acquaintance. If the son believes in the slave family, the slave family is willing to introduce it in person. ”
Hua Niang tried her best to make herself smile sincerely.
She believed that as long as these people in front of her got off the boat to inquire about the existence of the Fang family, they would definitely be frightened. In this place of Yunzhou, the Fang family is the same as the iron-beaten Fang family's flowing water thorn history, and he is the real emperor of the soil.
Moreover, the Fang family's power is not only limited to Yunzhou, but also has close contacts with the big clans in several nearby states, and the family business is connected to the land of Qilu and the Central Plains. The masters in the clan are like clouds, the warriors are like rain, and there are too many treasures to count, once the Fang family has any big trouble, with the Fang family's interests to the government over the years, the assassin will personally come forward to solve it.
In Hua Niang's opinion, if the other party is not scared and runs away immediately, she will inevitably apologize to the Fang family, and as long as she behaves generously now, the other party is very likely to treat her politely, let her help intercede, and take the initiative to make friends with the Fang family.
Of course, Hua Niang will not intercede with these people, what she wants is for these people to pay! The best thing is to let Hu Honglian, who beat her, be slapped to death! Otherwise, it is not enough to reduce the hatred in her heart.
Zhao Ning took in the subtle changes in Hua Niang's eyes, and asked lightly: "In this way, you are very familiar with the Fang family, and you can also contact many people from the Fang family?"
Hua Niang immediately smiled proudly: "Childe really has a vision, don't look at the current appearance of the slave family, when he was young, he was also a generation of Oiran in Yunzhou City, and even the head of the Fang family was a benefactor of the slave family at that time." Over the years, the slave family has run a painting boat for the Fang family, and they have always been in Yunzhou City, and they only went to Songlin Town to tour around, looking for good seedlings, and the big and small housekeepers of the Fang family on weekdays, how could they not come to find the girls under the slave family? The slave family is familiar with them!"
Zhao Ning smiled with satisfaction.
Just when Hua Niang was also laughing happily, and when she felt that she was about to be treated as a guest of honor and had a great opportunity for revenge, she saw Zhao Ning practice to Hu Hong: "Take it down and torture it well." ”
Hearing the word "torture", Hua Niang's face froze, and she didn't know why Zhao Ning was doing this to her, so she hurriedly shouted: "Son, the Fang family is the same."
Overlord of Yunzhou, you can't treat the slave family like this, otherwise the Fang family won't let you go......"
Before she finished speaking, she was slapped to the ground by a man in Tsing Yi, "Shut up!" Then the other party dragged her and walked to the bottom after Hu Honglian, no matter how she shouted, she completely ignored it.
Hua Niang was shrouded in panic again, she did not wait for the opportunity to take revenge on Hu Honglian, but she had to be tortured by Hu Honglian. She didn't know what she was about to face, but she knew it would definitely be more painful than breaking her two arms!
"How are you going to deal with the Fang family?"
After the flower girl was dragged away, Yang Jiani, who was sitting on the side, asked simply and straightly.
"It's not an easy thing to do. Zhao Ning touched his chin and groaned.
The Zhao family and the Yang family do not have much power in Yunzhou City, if it is an ordinary time, Zhao Ning, the heir of the Zhao family, comes to Yunzhou City, whether it is Fang Dawei or the assassin history, he will warmly welcome and flatter him. But this time, Zhao Ning wanted to move their interests and ask for Fang Dawei's life, and they couldn't expect them to cooperate. It will not be useful to use the prestige of the Zhao and Yang clans to exert pressure.
As for letting Yipinlou dispatch a large number of Yuan Shen Realm masters to directly break into Yunzhou City and attack Fang Dawei at night, destroy the family and the clan, and create a shocking bloody case, no matter how busy the emperor and the imperial court are in the power struggle at the moment, they will immediately send ministers and officials to thoroughly investigate the case and hunt down the murderer, and they will definitely not give up.
This is a matter of strategy.
You can't be soft when it's time to kill, but you can't just use assassination.
Just when Zhao Ning was thinking, there was a sudden commotion outside the boat, and shouts such as "someone fell into the water", "help", "save people" and so on exploded all of a sudden.
Zhao Ning got up and came to the window, looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that a person in Tsing Yi had picked up a person from the water, and was grabbing a rope thrown from the boat, and jumped up with his strength.
The cultivators of Yipinlou on the boat do such things as chivalry and righteousness, and of course they will not hesitate to rescue someone when they see someone falling into the water.
Lou Chuan stands out in Songlin Town is very conspicuous, but when it comes to Yunzhou City, it is nothing, people who see this scene applaud, although some people are curious about the identity of the owner of Lou Chuan, but they did not pay much attention, and soon turned back and continued to do their own thing.
Zhao Ning and Yang Jiani came to the deck, the rescued person had woken up, although the other party drank a stomach of water, but because of the timely rescue, there was almost nothing wrong.
It was a man in his thirties and forties, and he should be a scholar in terms of clothing style and temperament, but his family background must not be said to be solid, and his clothes are thin in the cold sky, and he is still a middle-aged and down-and-out scholar in terms of his eyebrows and eyes, and he is estimated to have no fame, at most he is a showman.
When we meet, Zhao Ning waved his hand, signaled the Tsing Yi people to take the other party into the cabin, changed him into clean and warm clothes, and asked him why he fell into the water.
However, this down-and-out middle-aged scholar, after looking at Zhao Ning, Yang Jiani and others in brocade clothes and jade belts, rejected Zhao Ning's kindness, and there was a strong vigilance and hostility between his eyebrows, and even hatred that could not be concealed.
The man in Tsing Yi who rescued him actually saw that he was diving by himself, and kept him a few times, saying that if he was in trouble, he could help him, and no matter how he changed his clothes before leaving, otherwise he would get sick in this cold day. Although the middle-aged scholar repeatedly bowed down to thank him, but
The attitude of leaving as soon as possible was very resolute, and from beginning to end, he didn't look at Zhao Ning, a rich and noble son, for fear of staining his eyes.
"You hate rich people so much, are you being oppressed by the powerful?" Zhao Ning's fluttering words made the middle-aged scholar's figure pause.
But he still didn't mean to stop.
Until I heard Zhao Ning's second sentence: "You think that the powerful are all raccoon dogs, and this son will definitely not help you, even if this son's people have just saved your life." ”
Although the middle-aged scholar stopped, he did not look back.
Until he heard Zhao Ning's third sentence: "The powerful people who oppressed you should have a lot of power in Yunzhou City, and you don't think that this son can help you get ahead." However, what Ben Gongzi can tell you is that even if he is the most powerful in Yunzhou, Ben Gongzi may not take it seriously. ”
The middle-aged scholar turned around, hesitated, and asked hesitantly, "Is Childe really willing to help me?"
His words were full of suspicion and distrust.
Zhao Ning beckoned casually, and a man in Tsing Yi immediately moved a chair over and placed it behind him. Zhao Ning took his robe and sat down on the Taishi chair, looking like a middle-aged scholar with ease.
This made the middle-aged scholar's face flush, and he seemed to recall something extremely painful, and he was so angry that he turned around and was about to leave.
"Even if you suffer injustice, after all, you have both hands and feet, and your body is fine, and you actually jump into the water to seek death, this kind of cowardly behavior without responsibility, don't say that you can't be called a scholar, and you can't even say a man, right?"
Zhao Ning's tone, which seemed to know everything and was under control, made the middle-aged scholar's facial features distorted, and he roared hoarsely: "I'm not a coward! I'm not even afraid of death, how can I be a coward?"
Zhao Ning laughed, looking at the middle-aged scholar's eyes even more contemptuous, "What's the point if you're not afraid of death." To be able to live in distress day after day, year after year, in the midst of despair with no edge in sight, there is still the will to fight to the last moment with the suffering that comes one after another, that is the real courage. ”
The middle-aged scholar was stunned.
Zhao Ning's lofty attitude was undoubtedly destroying his already fragile self-esteem, making him want to bite Zhao Ning and then turn around and leave without stopping, but Zhao Ning's words were like morning bells and dusk drums, hitting the softest place in his heart.
"Childe was born with everything, how can he know what real despair is? Childe is full of ambition, and where will he understand what real pain is?" The middle-aged scholar laughed miserably, and his face full of vicissitudes of life was full of sadness.
Of course, Zhao Ning knew what real despair and pain were.
In the past ten years of national wars, repeated defeats and repeated defeats, seeing the mountains and rivers sinking inch by inch, seeing the clansmen and relatives die one after another, and finally dying as the prince of the town when the country was destroyed, even Zhao Qiyue, who loved him the most, couldn't protect him, no one knows better than Zhao Ning what it is like to despair and pain.
But at this moment, under the gaze of Yang Jiani and others, facing Zhou Ying, who is at the lowest point in his life - of course he will not be mistaken, and he will not admit mistakes, the down-and-out middle-aged man in front of him is Zhou Ying, a famous minister who was famous in the late stage of the ten-year national war and was regarded as the hope of Daqi Zhongxing, in fact, Zhao Ning recognized the other party at first sight, after all, in their previous life, they had fought side by side for several years, they had experienced blood and fire together, and they had escaped death together many times, they were like siblings, and the other party in the previous life also did not drown today- He didn't say that he understood it very well, but said it without being salty or light:
"I want to hear about it. ”
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
