Ji Yuan looked at the laughter and saw a burly man striding towards the small courtyard.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help frowning, although there are not so many rules in the Taoist temple, anyone can come to the door to worship incense, but it is limited to the main hall where the gods are worshipped, and the small courtyard on the side is no longer among them.

On the other hand, now he has a much worse perception of this chief catcher of Qianyu City, and even has some disdain in his heart.

Liu Hongsheng has always had a chivalrous reputation, and he enjoys a very high reputation in the rivers and lakes within a radius of hundreds of miles, and is deeply respected by Baixin, but he hid when the county encountered a disaster, and waited until the overall situation was decided before he showed up to take the credit.

If it weren't for the scruples of the other party's official skin, he would have slashed out with a sword at the moment, but now that the other party came to visit, he walked into his own courtyard, which made him even more embarrassed. @精华\/Shuge*First update~~

"Liu came uninvited, and I hope Daoist Ji will forgive me."

Liu Hongsheng stood in the small courtyard, his face full of smiles, and said, "Mrs. Qian, let's meet again!" ”

Now that Qianyu City is closed, let alone outsiders, even the people in the city are not allowed to go out unless they bury their bodies.

And Mrs. Qian was able to enter the city, obviously because she was also out of the relationship, and it was not surprising that she had met Liu Hongsheng once or twice.

It's just that she didn't pay any attention to Liu Hongsheng, who is now in a position comparable to the county order, obviously the most amiable businessman, but there was a touch of coldness on her face.

However, when the rough man saw this, he didn't show any different colors, and after laughing, he turned his gaze to Ji Yuan's body.

"Seeing that Ji Daochang was seriously injured and in a coma that day, Liu Mouke was really worried for several days, and now he is completely relieved."

Liu Hongsheng opened his mouth to speak in a scene, but with that meaningful look, it made people feel a little unnatural.

And after a pause, he simply said that the purpose of this visit was not much different from what Ji Yuan expected, it was nothing more than hoping that a few people in the Taoist temple could cooperate with the county government to deal with the chaos in the city.

However, there was a condescending feeling in this person's words, as if he was giving orders, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Such a posture naturally made Ji Yuan's brows furrow slightly, and some doubts couldn't help but arise in his heart.

No matter what the other party says, it is also a city of general catchers, and after so many years, it has accumulated a good reputation within a radius of hundreds of miles, and before this matter, even if it is mentioned by people in the rivers and lakes, they have to give a thumbs up.

But now this person is stunned to make an arrogant appearance that has no scruples and does not put anyone in his eyes.

This is something that only a fool would do, and the last thing that should not appear to him is as if he was breaking a jar.

"Zhao Daoyou, they are not Taoist people, they just have a good personal relationship with the channel, but they can't make any decisions for them."

After thinking about it, Ji Yuan pretended to be sorry and said: "But it is a bit unfortunate that in the previous fight with the demon, several Taoist friends were seriously injured, and now they are still in retreat and recuperation, and they can't come out to meet guests for the time being. ”

A few days ago, several people had already talked to each other about this matter, and once Liu Hongsheng came to visit, he asked Ji Yuan to come forward and prevaricate for this reason.

After all, Ji Yuan is the only one among the few people, not only has a good relationship with Xu Liuqing of the Three Swords Society, but even has an unsettled deal with the knife holder of the Ming Jian Division.

Under the rat trap, it is expected that Liu Hongsheng will not dare to do too much, even if he knows it, but he is helpless.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the person didn't say anything more, and left after a few greetings.

It's just that when he turned around, he said a few more words to Mrs. Qian, and invited the other party to come to the county office to sit down if he was free, and he could talk about both official and private matters.

After saying a word, he didn't wait for the other party's reply, he laughed and walked outside the Taoist temple, and after a while, he couldn't see his figure.

is so neat and tidy, but it makes Ji Yuan a little uncomfortable, in the original conjecture, this person should be entangled for a while.

"Are you curious about my relationship with him and why this person is so unusual?"

Mrs. Qian suddenly spoke, and without waiting for him to speak, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She didn't have any scruples, even when she told a little thing these days, her words were full of coldness and disdain.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, she came to Qianyu City, and in the county office, she met Liu Hongsheng, who was a little famous in the county.

And when the two sides met for the first time, this rough man made a disrespectful speech and made a wanton teaser, if it weren't for his official skin, Mrs. Qian would have slapped this person to death.

As for Liu Hongsheng, why is he unusual, he doesn't even want the disguise that has been maintained for decades, not only does he expose his true face without scruples, but he even looks unscrupulous.

It's not that he can't figure it out for a while, and he has to do such a stupid thing, but there is a rumor in the county town, and he will take it to the top of the tank afterwards and bear most of the responsibility for this disaster.

"There has been an order in the county town, so that the people in the surrounding counties, villages and towns will always stay around Liu Hongsheng, cutting off the possibility of him absconding."

Mrs. Qian sneered: "As for how heavy the final culpability is, whether he can pick up a life depends on what contribution he can make now, but even if it is not a capital crime, it has to be peeled off a layer of skin, and then he will be like a waste." ”

Tens of thousands of people in a city were almost sacrificed by the devil, and even though the disaster was finally solved, tens of thousands of people died tragically, and the entire county fell into chaos.

Such mistakes and losses always need to be borne by people, and Liu Hongsheng is the best scapegoat.

Otherwise, under the anger of the imperial court, I am afraid that even the county guard will have to be put on death row and finally beheaded in public.

"Originally, he could have taken credit and become a big hero, not only did he not need to be questioned, but he could even rise to prominence from now on."

When Mrs. Qian said this, a little mockery couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

However, Liu Hong's life is not good, if he hadn't met the sword wielder of the Mingjian Division, his plan would not have failed, even if he took this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step and get a rich reward from the imperial court, it was normal to break through the bottleneck and enter the second realm.

It's a pity that no matter how he calculates, in the end, not only will he not get anything, but he may even be arrested and held accountable at any time, bearing heinous charges and scolding.

It is no wonder that Liu Hongsheng has completely given up the disguise that has been maintained for decades, anyway, it is a death left and right, but now it is just a little more miserable to die, and it is more comfortable to die.

In this way, Ji Yuan can also understand why the other party would change his normality, this kind of thing is put on someone else's body, I am afraid that he has already collapsed in his mood, and it is good not to give himself a good time.

"Alright, now that the matter has been done, I should also go, there are still a bunch of things to deal with."

Mrs. Qian smiled slightly, wanting to take this opportunity to make up for the merits she needed to break through the realm, it was not as simple as throwing out a lot of silver.

And Ming Xinxuan is not the only one who came this time, more than 100 men from the Qian family will also arrive in Qianyu City with a large number of materials one after another.

"Then I won't keep the owner."

Ji Yuan laughed, and then got up to send him off.

When the three of them walked outside the gate, Mrs. Qian paused, turned around and said, "If you are ready in these two days, you can come to Mingxinxuan." ”

Hearing this, he nodded with a smile and said yes, saying that he would go tomorrow, and he could open the furnace for alchemy at any time, and keep it to the satisfaction of the owner.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Qian couldn't help glaring at him, and said with some curiosity: "You are also strange, you have two faces, and one owner is so smooth." Initial update @ "

Before receiving the special offering jade card, the little Taoist priest had a straight face, but after receiving the jade card, he immediately put on a smiling face, which was not flattering or deliberately flattering, but his attitude obviously became much closer.

It's as if the two have gone from strangers when they first met to old friends who have known each other for many years, but it makes her feel less snobbish, but as if it should be.

"There should not be many people in this world who can't get along with silver."

Ji Yuan was not polite, and said what was in his heart straightforwardly.

However, it was precisely because he did not hide it and tell some beautiful scenes, but it made Mrs. Qian look up to him even more.

"My real name is Qian Nishang, but I have to remember it, don't Liandong.

I don't know the name of the home. ”

She took another serious look, and then left slowly and leisurely with Liu Ruyan.

It wasn't until he saw the two of them at the mouth of the alley and boarded a carriage that Ji Yuan withdrew his gaze and turned around and returned to the small courtyard of the Taoist temple.

He sat back in his chair, and the smile on his face suddenly retracted, and he turned to a solemn look.

At the same time, the door of a hut was opened, and Zhao Yuansong and several people walked out of it one after another, each moving a chair and sitting down.

"This mountain and river bag looks much better than the one that the elders in the door want to hang on!"

Xu Qiqi looked at the cloth bag on the table, and his eyes also showed envy.

But how many monks in the world don't want to hang a mountain and river bag around their waists?

Not only for convenience, but also as a status symbol among low-level monks.

After all, if you don't have any skills, or have a prominent enough family background, how many people are willing to spend so much money to buy a mountain and river bag that only has the ability to store things, but has no ability to attack and protect themselves.

"Your choice today is not sure whether it will be a blessing or a curse."

Zhao Yuansong groaned for a while, but finally couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that his face was worried, and his eyes were even more complicated, Ji Yuan's heart immediately moved: "What do you say?" ”

He had thought that there was something strange about this matter, but no matter how he thought about it, the advantages should outweigh the disadvantages, so after a little contemplation, he agreed in one bite.

Seeing the other party with such a look at this time, I am afraid that it is indeed as he expected, and there are some things that he does not know.

"Ming Xinxuan's signboard, even if it is in Feiyun County, is also quite famous."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yuansong spoke.

Although Ming Xinxuan only opened a branch in Luoxia County, its business spread all over the country, that is, Feiyun County outside the county, and there were many forces that had a good relationship with it.

Even the Jiuxuanmen itself has a lot of dealings with Mingxinxuan, and in the fang town outside the mountain gate, there is still a shop opened by it for contact.

And he also happened to hear a piece of news from the mouth of an elder, saying that one of the owners of Ming Xinxuan a few years ago, that is, the Qian family where Qian Nishang was located, one of its ancestors at the peak of the Three Realms, Shou Yuan, had run out and had passed away.

The key is that in recent decades, the Qian family has no other clansmen in the Three Realms, and after the death of the ancestor, many enemies from the past took the opportunity to retaliate.

Therefore, the reputation of the Qian family has plummeted over the years, and the family industry has also been shrinking, and the other two owners of Ming Xinxuan have taken a lot away from them.

If in the next twenty or thirty years, the Qian family cannot give birth to a strong enough Three Realms cultivator, I am afraid that they will be completely kicked out of Mingxinxuan, and thus be eaten up by those who have been watching for a long time.

"So you become a special worship of the Qian family, and I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

Zhao Yuansong shook his head and said.

If it were in ordinary times, this would naturally be a great thing, even better than becoming an elder of the Nine Xuanmen.

But in the current situation, it is not impossible to say that everything is difficult, and even a good thing to turn into a disaster.

Even if the Qian family is true and can come up with the many benefits promised, it is likely that before Ji Yuan can fully digest these benefits, he will be assassinated by the other two first.

And although Ming Xinxuan is mainly a chamber of commerce, there are still a lot of Three Realms monks who can be driven, and even with the financial resources of the other two, a little leakage from the fingers is enough to secretly hire a killer with the strength of the Three Realms.

It's just that after Ji Yuan heard this, he didn't show much worry, as if he didn't care about it.

"Don't underestimate Ming Xinxuan's strength, and don't miscalculate the bottom line of those people."

Seeing this, Zhao Yuansong couldn't help but remind.

He seemed to be deeply afraid of the other party, because he had never stepped out of the realm of Qianyu City, and he underestimated those monks outside.

Because in the Nine Xuanmen, there are many disciples every year, and under the experience and advice of the elders, they still suffer a big loss in this regard. @精华\/Shuge*First update~~

"If they have the ability, send a master to kill.

Entering the Nine Xuanmen, no matter how worried I am, it will be in vain. ”

However, after Ji Yuan heard this, he winked at Zhao Yuansong.

Hearing this, the other party smiled bitterly, and then he realized that he had such a plan in his heart.

It's just that after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yuansong still has a little doubt: "If you take the benefits and run, it's still a little unpleasant, right?" ”

The reason why the Qian family paid such a huge price was to bring hope to the family.

Once he released the news and told everyone outside that he had won over a proud son of heaven who would definitely be in the Three Realms in the future, and he was also the best among the monks of the Three Realms, he would definitely be able to buy a respite for the family.

And in this time, whether it is to find an opportunity to turn the tables, or to wait for this proud son of heaven to grow up thoroughly, it can solve the crisis that the Qian family is encountering now.

But if Ji Yuan took the benefits, he chose to slip away and hide directly in the Nine Xuanmen, which would be a catastrophe for the Qian family.

"You still don't get together with Huixin in the future, and you have come down from the rivers and lakes a few times, why are you suddenly so stupid?"

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes and glanced at Zhao Yuansong angrily. Initial update @.
