"Mr. Duan's family has a happy event, Lei came to ask for a glass of wine to eat uninvited, and invited Haihan."

Duan Chong was greeting the guests outside the door, and suddenly saw Lei Meng leading the crowd to come, his heart sank, and he still smiled on his face: "Don't dare to be, Lord Lei, please." ”

Welcomed the four into the courtyard.

This is a house that has been entered quite neatly, and it was only brought down seven or eight days ago, and it was only moved in yesterday.

To open a dart game, there must be a façade.

The original hut courtyard is not good, and the dart bureau stronghold must not only take into account the convenience of the location, but also be spacious, and it must be able to support the façade without being too shabby.

This mansion is just a one-time entry, but it is also expensive, and there is no fourteen or five hundred taels to take, which is five or six times the small courtyard purchased by the Cao family years ago.

The house where Guo Sheng, the head catcher in Luoxiu County, lives, is about the same scale as this one.

Prices don't vary too much.

It can be seen that this head catcher has a lot of money on weekdays, otherwise where would he have bought such a yard.

This is a heavy asset.

Even though Cao Xin was wealthy, considering that he had only 'picked up' more than 7,000 taels with Duan Chong and Ning Shuhua at that time, there were still more than 6,000 taels left.

Not a luxury.

Therefore, the house is leased.

The rent of six taels of silver per month, starting from one year, is paid in one lump sum, and there is also a deposit of fifty taels.

There is no deposit to be counted.

The annual rent expenditure is 72 taels.

It's not expensive, but it's not cheap.

The cost of opening a dart board is in this aspect, and the purchase of horses, donkeys, dart carts, and dart boxes has not yet begun.

At this time, Lei Meng and the others didn't know that Duan Chong was going to open a dart game.

Looking at this courtyard and many people in the courtyard, Lei Meng and Chen Biao glanced at each other, each thinking about it.

It's not just them.

Many people present were also paying attention to the Lei Meng four.

Since the beginning of the year, the embroidery division in Xijing has been a lot of movement, looking at the Xijing rivers and lakes, almost everyone knows. Today, Duan Chong led the four of Lei Meng in, and everyone was also speculating about the relationship between the two sides.

"Senior Brother Duan also invited the official of the Embroidery Department today?"

Tang Miao has become closer to Duan Chong and his wife in the past few days, and his title has long been changed to a more intimate 'senior sister and senior brother'. The main purpose of the Duan family's banquet today is very clear to Tang Miao and the Tang family, so they are also half the hosts today, just before Duan Chong welcomes guests, and the four brothers of the Tang family are also helping to greet them.

Seeing Lei Meng and others coming in, he hurriedly sent Tang Miao to inquire.

"Not familiar."

"Among the four people, the first two came to the house in February, wanting to recruit the senior brother into the embroidery division, but the senior brother had no such intention. It's been more than a month since this happened, and I don't know why it's happening today. ”

Ning Shuhua shook her head, she was also puzzled.

There is a bit of weakness in my heart.

When Tang Miao heard this, he was also worried in his heart.

The embroidery division and the Jianghu people are not 100% opposed, but they are by no means a group of harmony.

Today, the evil guest comes to the door, I am afraid that there is no good banquet!

Side.

Cao Xin also guessed that Lei Meng and others came today, but the information was too narrow to guess.

But before he could think about it, there was movement on that side.

"Mr. Duan, please!"

"Lord Lei, please!"

When Cao Xin heard the movement, he saw Duan Chong leading Lei Meng and the others to use tea, and then went to the courtyard to put on a posture.

Obviously.

This is the meaning of hands-on discussion, and I don't know what they just talked about.

But looking at the atmosphere, it is not tense, it is still under control.

"Let's go."

"Check it out."

Ning Shuhua was worried, so she rushed to the front yard with Tang Miao and Cao Xin. Cao Xian, Tang Piaopiao and other juniors who were in the backyard also came over when they saw this.

Cao Ren followed Duan Chong in the front yard, and at this time, he came forward, and without waiting for Ning Shuhua and the others to ask, he took the initiative to explain: "Lei Si Prison said that he admired his master's swordsmanship, and he came here today to ask for advice. ”

Please teach swordsmanship!

This must be a pretext.

Lei Meng, as the secretary of the embroidered clothes department, will not be untargeted, and this move may have another meaning.

"Uncle do you know why?"

Ning Shuhua found her uncle Tang Shixiao and asked in a low voice.

Tang Shixiao is now the head of the Tang family, he is seventy years old, and he said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, this Lei Si Prison has recently come to the door and studied with many masters in Xijing City. I think I heard about Duan Xian's nephew's reputation in the past few days, so I came to give it a try. ”

As a local snake, Tang Shixiao's news channels are wider, and he can roughly guess Lei Meng's intentions today.

"The Embroidery Division has repeatedly solved major cases recently, and Lei Meng mainly complicates the 'Iron Courage Shenhou' series of cases, but there has been no progress for a long time."

"Are they tempting Senior Brother?"

When Ning Shuhua heard this, she would come to her senses.

If that's the case, there's no need to worry.

As everyone knows, the 'Iron Gall Divine Marquis' is the most mysterious, except for a few iron galls, there is no trace. And Duan Chong is proficient in swordsmanship, and he can't catch up.

This thunder is afraid that he is in a hurry to go to the doctor.

Once you have settled down, you will focus on watching the battle.

At this time.

Duan Chong and Lei Meng have already fought fiercely.

Both of them are proficient in swordsmanship, both are superior, as soon as they fight, the sword light suddenly rises, and the sound of clanging is endless.

Among them, the thunder sword technique is majestic, such as a spear and halberd, spanning thousands of miles, and it is a dignified and upright teacher.

"Get straight to the point."

"Ancient Dragon."

"Stacked green."

Mr. Tang Shixiao and Old Mr. Tang were well-informed, and recognized the three or five sword moves performed by Lei Meng, and couldn't help nodding: "Sure enough, it's a disciple of Fushan!" ”

Lei Meng entered Xijing City for two months, and did not deliberately hide his mentorship, and even deliberately leaked and added fuel to the fire.

After all, the identity of the disciple of Fushan and the official status of the embroidery department, once it spread, it can make it easier for him to walk on the rivers and lakes and eat more openly.

Recently, he has always come to the door to ask people for advice, and he has also performed undisguised Fushan swordsmanship.

Although Tang Shixiao is old, he has also heard of it.

When I saw it today, it was true.

"Fushan disciple?"

Tang Miao heard it for the first time, and when he heard it at this time, he turned his head to look at Ning Shuhua.

Others don't know.

But because of the relationship of cooperation, she and several core figures of the Tang family know that Duan Chong and Ning Shuhua were born in Qishan. And Qishan and Fushan are one of the 'Seven Mountains Sword School', and the relationship is not shallow.

"Could it be that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple?"

Tang Miao speculated.

But there was no time to distract at this time, and the fierce fight on the field became more and more ferocious.

The thunderous Fushan sword technique is upright and solemn.

But Duan Chong was not half a point.

The swordsmanship in his hand can't see the number of sects, but the same tricks are exquisite, and the momentum on the sword is fierce, and the sword momentum is implied in the fierce wind, so that the sword is as fast as a sword, and the wind stirred up is getting stronger and stronger, like a storm and waves, and the momentum emitted by the sword edge gradually expands-

"Shhh

Together with Tang Shixiao, Tang Miao and others, everyone in the audience only felt that the cold was pressing, and their faces and hands were faintly painful by the wind, and they involuntarily retreated.

When I came back to my senses and looked at it again, I suddenly realized that the circle around the two of them gradually expanded, and there were actually four or five zhang square, almost giving them the entire front yard.
