Chapter One Hundred and Four: Jiang Rang
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head
Luo Xiaofeng stood on the post road outside the city, and the tattered and simple carriages and horses were parked aside.
Looking back at Yongning City, the picture passed in front of me in a trance.
From the unambitious, to the sudden assumption of power, to the achievement of fame with divine help...
Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, isn't he the son of destiny, how did he become like this?
Luo Xiaofeng couldn't figure it out, a few days ago he was still the third young master of Wan Jingcong, and the future leader of the Luo family.
After a day, it was deprived of all honor, and was expelled from Yongning, so that it could only go to the border village to become a small landlord.
The servants dispersed overnight, and the red-faced people who were not allowed by the king did not leave.
When the tide of power receded, Luo Xiaofeng realized that all the honors in the past were all tied to the identity of the Luo family's three young men, and he had nothing.
"Young master, don't wait, let's go."
The old servant of the family led a carriage, walked to Luo Xiaofeng's side, and suggested in a low voice.
"I'm not waiting, I'm remembering today's downfall!"
Luo Xiaofeng looked resentful, raised his hand and pointed to the tall buildings of Yongning City, and said coldly: "I will, and will definitely return to Yongning in style, when the time comes, I will return all the contempt and indifference, ten times and a hundred times, I will let this city kneel at my feet!" ”
The old servant in the family looked extremely excited young master, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say a word.
Compared with the subdivision of Hedong in the past 30 years and Hexi in the 30th year, the pragmatic old servant is more worried about the food problem along the way.
The departure of the third young master means that Yongning Luo's completely quit the business of revitalizing rice seeds.
For all the high-ranking families in Yongning, this is out-and-out good news, and they are all smiling when they meet.
As for the people at the bottom, they didn't feel any difference, and they were really frightened for a while on the night of the battle.
But because the beginning ended so quickly, even some mobs that would have given birth to evil thoughts did not have time to carry it out.
Seeing that it is spring ploughing again, thinking back to last year's harvest, how can the people still pay attention to Luo's.
It was in such an atmosphere that Luo Xiaojun and Luo Xiaojie came back.
With most of Luo's lines still in Daoyuan City, these two sons quietly returned to Yongning City on a Xuanxi Cloud Boat.
It is also inaccurate to say that it is back to Yongning City, because the cloud boat finally stopped in the Changning Mountains, a peak overlooking the whole city.
"Senior brother, since the clan trial, why don't we go into the city?"
Luo Xiaojun and Luo Xiaojie are a pair of siblings, they look very similar, but they give people a completely different feeling.
Luo Xiaojun's tone is gentle, and he always gives people a feeling like a spring breeze, but Luo Xiaojun always has a cold expression, so although his body looks very similar, it is very easy to distinguish.
Under normal circumstances, when communicating with people, Luo Xiaojun usually speaks.
And the object of his inquiry was one of the thirteen ancestors of the Daoyuan Sect, the true lineage of Duobaofeng, a disciple named Jiang Rang.
"Before the clan trial is over, don't call senior brother in a hurry."
Jiang Rang replied without being salty, motioned for the two to get off the cloud boat, and then pointed to the city in the distance, and asked the two brothers, "Tell me, that area is where your clan land is located?" ”
"It's Xiaojun who is abrupt."
Luo Xiaojun's smile was still warm, and he used his hand to indicate the location of the Yi Jiang Rangluo clan.
Jiang Rang nodded, then faced the direction of Luo Xiaojun's finger, and pointed into a sword, pointing between his forehead.
The forehead, which was like a white jade without pores, appeared with a golden mark as the sword pointed at a point.
Then Jiang Rang put down his fingers, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, and said to Luo Xiaojun and Luo Xiaojie:
"You will stay in the mountains this month, and you will not be allowed to have any contact with the outside world, and you will be free to do anything else."
The two brothers, Luo Xiaojun and Luo Xiaojie, could never have imagined that Jiang Rang would sit here for a month.
The first sentence of getting up made the faces of the two of them change greatly.
"You have not passed the trial."
Although Jiang Rang sat quietly for a whole month, without eating a grain of rice or dripping water, the whole person was still in good spirits, just like when he first came out of the Daoyuan Sect.
But at this time, the two brothers didn't care to observe these miracles.
Luo Xiaojie's face was completely gloomy.
Even Luo Xiaojun, who always had a smile on his face, had an ugly expression at this time.
"I know that His Majesty is the true lineage of Duobaofeng's ancestor, and the Luo family is just a pawn in Yongning. The identities are very different, but we have passed the three levels of the Daoyuan assessment in a dignified manner to win this opportunity to worship the Daoyuan Sect. Is it a bit hasty to declare the failure of our clan trial like this? ”
Luo Xiaojun suppressed his displeasure and asked in a deep voice.
"In the house of goodness, there will be afterglow, and in the house of unkindness, there will be aftermath."
Jiang Rang looked at the black-faced two brothers, and asked with a smile: "It's thanks to me that I came to the clan trial, if you change the peak person, it's not just as simple as failing the clan trial, but you feel wronged?" ”
"The House of Bad Things?"
It is not difficult to deduce the reason for the failure of the clan trial from Jiang Rang's words, but Luo Xiaojun is really difficult to accept, so he blackened his face:
"The clan trial is the right of your subordinates, and we have nothing to deal with, but in the past month, you have only meditated on the mountain, not entering the city for half a step, and you have not heard of the slightest rumor, so it is a bit too much to smear it! Who in Yongning doesn't know that the Luo family cherishes loneliness and widowhood, helps the weak and alleviates poverty, repairs bridges and roads, and does countless good deeds, if this is not good? Then I have to ask Your Majesty what is the accumulation of goodness! ”
"The house of goodness is defeated, and the people are weak and helpless; The house of bad is destroyed, and the people are relieved. ”
Jiang Rang explained lightly, then stared at Luo Xiaojun's eyes and asked, "Although there is some trouble, I am not in a hurry to go back, do I need to help you distinguish and see clearly?" ”
"No need!"
There was a chill in his heart for no reason, Luo Xiaojun quickly refused with a white face, and said to his brother whose face was getting worse and worse: "Let's go!" ”
The two young masters of the Luo clan retreated, Jiang Rang wanted to sacrifice Yunzhou and return to the sect, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he muttered "trouble" and put Yunzhou away again, turned around and jumped off the cliff, and his clothes fluttered and flew towards the city
After a month of observing the fortune, he already knew the flow of wealth in Yongning City.
This is also the reason why the two young masters of the Luo family failed to conduct a clan trial.
On the three sides of Yongning City, the southeast, north and south, the flow of wealth and qi is like stagnant water, even if it is the four large square cities that are famous for their prosperity, they are not enough.
However, in Yongning Xicheng, the flow of wealth is very active, and the flow of transmission is so swift that it is only seen in life.
What is even more rare is that there are not just one but many places like this.
Such a large amount of wealth is gathered and circulated, but it does not produce a huge amount of accumulation.
This kind of wealth flow speed, Jiang Rang has only seen it in Daoyuan City, but Daoyuan City can do it because of special means.
How did a tiny city of Yongning reach this level?
Jiang Rang was a little curious and planned to see it for himself, so he chose the first stop, which was the Vientiane hypermarket.
Today, the Vientiane hypermarket on Long Kok Street has become a consumption mecca for Yongning people.
Not only the residents of Xicheng are willing to spend here, but the people of Yongning on the other three sides have to buy something here even if they take a long detour.
So today's Vientiane hypermarket, it's called a noisy and lively.
As soon as Jiang Rang walked into the hypermarket, he saw a crowd of people in front of the long counter, and several long and orderly queues were slowly marching.
Those people who lined up at the counter were obviously empty-handed, but they paid directly to the counter.
'What is this doing?' ’
Just when Jiang Rang was puzzled, a young man sitting at the front desk, with dark skin and a smile on his face, walked towards him.
"Hello officer, I'm a guy from this hypermarket, I look at your face a little raw, it should be the first time to come to our store, why don't I introduce you?"
The person who came was Goubao, and now he is the shopkeeper of the head office on Long Kok Street.
Since cultivating this one, Zheng Qian has rarely come here.
Dog Bao is also very competitive, since he served as the shopkeeper, there has been almost no mistake in the head office, plus he is diligent and has no shelves, and is deeply loved by the guys and residents.
It's the same today, seeing a face standing at the door and a little confused, Goubao greeted him as soon as possible.
Jiang Rang, who was full of doubts, naturally would not refuse this kind of service, so he should accept it.
Then Gou Bao took Jiang Rang around the store and introduced them one by one.
At the same time, Jiang Rang also saw that there were a lot of people in the store who were like dogs, and they were wandering with new customers who were a little confused.
Regardless of the new guests' clothes and appearances, these guys are all enthusiastic and make people feel like a spring breeze.
In addition to the fact that the service staff did not praise the poor and love the rich, the way this hypermarket operates is also very special.
It's not a traditional shop, it's a storehouse.
In each warehouse, there are one or two guys who are responsible for delivering the goods.
All kinds of food, materials, and tools are placed in partitions, and the price of each product is clearly marked on the pallet.
Not only the selling price, but also the purchase price.
In addition to the clear division of the area, the sale is fair.
Another feature of Vientiane hypermarkets is the way they trade.
The warehouse does not accept cash, and customers who want to shop must first go to the counter to hand over the money, receive a ticket, and then with the ticket, they can go to the corresponding warehouse to pick up the goods.
This strange way of trading made Jiang Rang interested, so he asked Gou Bao: "Little brother, aren't you afraid of mistakes in the accounts when you do this?" ”
"If you return to the customer officer, our store has been operating like this since it opened, and the goods, revenue, and tickets have been summarized every day and every month, and there has never been a mistake."
When it comes to this, the dog baby's face is full of pride and honor.
"What about corruption and smuggling of goods, is there no such thing?"
Although Gou Bao said proudly, Jiang Rang didn't believe it.
"Never!"
Gou Bao was categorical: "Our hypermarket guys are all selected from the Qiankun Collection, and they will never be sorry for the owner and do this kind of thing." ”
"I see."
Jiang Rang nodded thoughtfully and left from the Vientiane hypermarket.
For the second stop, he chose the Five Emperors Gym outside the West City.
I couldn't understand why a Daoist hall outside the city would circulate such a huge amount of wealth, and Jiang Rang planned to go up the mountain to take a look in person.
When Jiang Rang was wandering around Yongning City, the two brothers, Luo Xiaojun and Luo Xiaojie, also returned to the Luo family's land.
As soon as I came back, I saw the collapsed archway, on the white bricks and white columns, it was actually smoked black.
The people of the Luo clan, who were rushing to repair the archway, saw the two young masters coming back, and they were overjoyed and ran to tell each other.
What's more, when he came to the two of them, he talked about the sadness of the third young master when he was in power.
At first, it was smooth, but then I didn't know how to go down.
Hearing that in the end, the Shang Alliance defected and the Luo family was defeated, the two young masters were stupid, and they couldn't believe that so many things had happened in Yongning just by going to Daoyuan City.
is different from Luo Xiaofeng's departure, which no one cared about.
Luo Xiaojun and Luo Xiaojie, they are both teenagers, and they won the middle grade early.
Carrying the future of the Luo family, especially the people who have just been defeated, the Luo family really needs a lifting news.
And what other news can be more uplifting than the fact that the two young masters have already worshiped the Dao Source Sect.
Of course, Luo Xiaojun understood the expectations of the clansmen, but Jiang Rang's ruthless verdict made it impossible for the two brothers to respond.
Just when the brothers were a little at a loss, Luo Tianxiong appeared with Luo Tianying.
As soon as Luo Tianxiong heard the news of the return of the two brothers, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't hide his tracks anymore, so he rushed to the archway as soon as possible.
Seeing the expressions of the two brothers, Luo Tianxiong confirmed his guess in his heart.
After dragging the two brothers away from the eyes of the clansmen and letting Luo Tianying guard the gate of the ancestral hall, Luo Tianxiong asked about the clan trial.
"I'm sorry Father, I disappointed you."
Luo Xiaojun and Luo Xiaojie knelt in front of the ancestral tablet of the Luo clan and reported the situation of the clan trial to Luo Tianxiong: "The one who gave us the clan trial is a true legend of Duobaofeng, named Jiang Rang. A month ago, he took us back to the city by flying boat, and after a month of meditation on the top of the mountain, he directly announced that our clan trial had failed, and the child asked the reason, and Jiang Rang said that it was because our Luo clan was a bad family......"
"The House of Bad Things..."
Luo Tianxiong was a little distracted, he never thought that the reason for the failure of the clan trial would be so ridiculous.
It's ridiculous and makes you want to laugh!
"What is good or not good, it's just some excuses, I can see it clearly, the sect has a lot of jealousy of the family, even a place like the Daoyuan Sect is not exempt from vulgarity."
Luo Xiaojie, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "Compared to the attitude of the Daoyuan Sect, the child wants to know more, where did this Qiankun business house come from?" ”
"Yes, Dad!"
Luo Xiaojun was also a little puzzled: "With the strength of our family, even if the Shang Alliance defects, with the uncle in charge, and those secret hands left by you, should you not be defeated so simply, why did you even demolish the Luo's archway?" ”
"Dad wants to split the Luo family from the Shang Alliance, so as to help you pass the clan trial smoothly, but I don't know that the result of the clan trial has been determined long before the clan trial."
Luo Tianxiong smiled bitterly: "It's the family that drags you down!" ”
"There is no family, how can there be us, dad, don't say that!"
As soon as he heard this, Luo Xiaojun hurriedly comforted: "If you can't worship the Daoyuan Sect, you can't worship it, the Qinglian Sword Sect and the Four Images Sect are not weak, with the qualifications of me and my second brother, it may not be superproductive, why bother to die!" ”
"Yes, Dad!"
Luo Xiaojie also echoed: "I think it's a good thing that the Dao Source Sect doesn't accept us, so we don't need to be so restrained!" ”
