Chapter 405: Second Master Tong Feihu
Luan Xiu is such a smart woman, of course she understands Shao Xi's intentions.
Shao Xi is telling her that the kindness of people close to her can be accepted calmly, and there is no need to think about returning, because the dedication of people who are full of kindness to herself does not ask for anything in return.
On the contrary, you should be cautious about accepting the gifts of strangers, because many people are befriending you with a purpose, and the benefits given by such people must be reciprocated.
So Shao Xi wants her to understand, don't refuse true kindness, but know how to reject false kindness, some things you accept does not mean that you take advantage, and some things you refuse does not mean that you suffer.
As Shao Xi said, it is important to be able to distinguish between good and evil.
People in this world who can't distinguish between good and evil tend to go to two extremes, or they are greedy people, who take from good and evil regardless of good and evil, and only want to gain for themselves.
Either they are extremely noble people, who do not take what others give in their eyes, and refuse both good intentions and malicious intentions, and never accept them.
Shao Xi felt that these two approaches, these two kinds of people were problematic, so Shao Xi wanted to guide Luan Xiu to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, and know how to make trade-offs in everything, only in this way can he lead Qianyumen to continue to gain a foothold in the martial arts in the future.
Now that she understands Shao Xi's intentions, Luan Xiu also let go of the undue burden in her heart, and Su Ying showed the innocence and naughtiness that a girl should have, the two not only eat hard, but also compete for the dishes on the plate from time to time, just like two children.
Shao Xi looked at their appearance, and felt very happy in his heart, when he was an only son at home, he had no brothers and sisters, and he had never experienced the family affection between brothers and sisters, but now looking at the two little girls in front of him, he really found a trace of the feeling of being a brother.
For so many years, he has been reminding himself to take care of the people around him, and the happiness of the people around him is his happiness, and the wine in the cup seems to feel much more mellow when drunk.
As a result, the five of them sat in the private room, and they all ate and drank heavily, regardless of their appearance.
It was the first time for Luan Xiu and Su Ying to come to such a restaurant when they were so old, and most of the wine and food on the table were something that the two had never seen before, and the two who let go at this time also ate very happily.
Shao Xi drank wine and asked casually, "How much do you two know about the Tong family?" Tell me about it. ”
Luan Xiu stopped the chopsticks in his hand, blinked his eyes and thought about it, and said with some hesitation: "I don't know much, I only know that the Tong family has opened a lot of gambling houses and green buildings in Fengyang County, and it is a well-known underworld family in Fengyang County."
"The head of the family, Tong Tao, heard that he is a distant relative of today's Hubu Shangshu, but I don't know if it's true or not? The ancestors of the Tong family are from this Shimen Town, so although the family property is in Fengyang City, most of the people in the family still live in this Shimen Town. ”
Su Ying hurriedly added on the side: "The head of the Tong family lives in Fengyang City all the year round, and his two sons, Tong Feilong and Tong Feihu, live here in Shimen Town.
"These two guys are worse than his father, bullying men and women in the area of Shimen Town, seizing people's houses, and doing all kinds of evil, causing the local people to complain, but they dare not speak out against them.
"Although we can't get used to it, but the uncles don't want us to get into trouble, so as long as they don't provoke our people from Qianyumen, we will always keep the well water from the river."
After listening to Luan Xiu's introduction to the Tong family, Shao Xi probably knew in his heart that the Tong family also relied on his own people in the court to run rampant in the countryside and bully the weak, as if they had become a local evil.
Referring to this household Shangshu Yu Ji, Shao Xi couldn't help but think of the Yu Ming who had been cleaned up by himself in the Shangyuan Festival before, wasn't that his son?
It seems that this is the tradition of their family, why is this family like this?
Although Na Yuji has met Shao Xi a few times, he has never had any contact, and he has greeted him at a banquet in the palace before, but he doesn't seem to look down on him.
This person in charge of the world's money and food, if his family is full of people with bad conduct, wouldn't it be a hidden danger in Jing Yuanguo?
Previously, Shao Xi was hindered by Yu Ming being the son of Yu Ji, and he didn't do too much, but now this distant relative has made Shao Xi make up his mind, whether he Yu Ji is loyal or traitorous, just look at what his reaction is after he provokes the Tong family, you can get a glimpse of one or two.
Thinking about it this way, Shao Xi became interested in the Tong family, and said in his heart that there is such a relationship, even if you don't provoke me, I'm afraid that your trouble will come to the door.
Thinking about it, Shao Xi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth to reveal a wicked smile, and Luan Xiu and Su Ying, who were sitting opposite, saw Shao Xi's smile, and they didn't know why, why did this senior brother hear about the Tong family as if he had picked up a treasure?
But these two little girls didn't think much about it, they naturally didn't know what Shao Xi wanted to do, in their hearts Shao Xi was just a senior brother with strong martial arts and quite ability, as for his origin? What do you want to do? It's not their concern at all.
So the two little girls started eating again.
After a storm, several people had eaten enough to eat and drink, and got up and went downstairs to settle the bill.
The shopkeeper of Fuguixuan saw a few people coming down from upstairs, and hurriedly greeted them, asking Shao Xi if they were still satisfied?
Zhao Xi nodded, raised his hand and threw him a tael of silver, the shopkeeper caught the silver with a surprised expression, and hurriedly said that it didn't need so much, Shao Xi waved his hand and only said that more was a reward, and then took a few people out of Fuguixuan.
Luan Xiu saw Shao Xi making such a generous move, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, when she bought silk for herself and Su Ying before, she spent a full one or two silver, but Shao Xi didn't seem to care about it just for a small amount of money.
Now that she has a meal, she actually throws a tael of silver to others, she really can't understand why her senior brother is so rich?
Luan Xiu couldn't help but reach out and touch the purse on his waist, the dozens of dollars in it were all for the daily needs of the sect this month, which was simply poor compared to Shao Xi.
Thinking that Shao Xi had spent so much money for herself, Luan Xiu began to feel a little unhappy in her heart, after all, one or two pieces of silver was a lot of money for a person like her.
Shao Xi turned his head to see the expression on Luan Xiu's face, and guessed her thoughts in his heart, although this Qianyumen has a prominent reputation in the martial arts, he couldn't imagine that the daily needs of the sect were so scarce, it seems that he should do something for Qianyumen before leaving.
Now it has nothing to do with the previous reparation, but as a disciple of the Thousand Feather Sect, I really can't bear to see the female disciples in the gate can't even wear a favorite dress at such a fancy age.
Just as Shao Xi was thinking about it and walking out of the gate of Fuguixuan, a group of people suddenly rushed out from around and surrounded several people in front of Fuguixuan.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant knew who was coming when he saw the outside, and hurriedly ran out and bowed to the person who was the leader, and said resignedly: "It turned out to be Second Master Tong!" I don't know that Second Master Tong came to the shop today, and the small one is far away, so please sit upstairs with Second Master Tong. ”
From the shopkeeper's words, Shao Xi heard that the person who was the leader was Tong Feihu, the second young master of the Tong family, and seeing that the posture in front of him was the group of guards who had just run back to complain, the second young master of the Tong family brought people to find his bad luck.
That Tong Feihu glanced at the shopkeeper, and just replied, "It's none of your business here, get out of here, otherwise I will beat you together, the second master." ”
The shopkeeper of Fuguixuan was so frightened when he heard this, he hurriedly retreated, and secretly glanced at Shao Xi before turning around and entering the door, as if to remind Shao Xi to be more careful.
Shao Xi smiled and nodded slightly to the shopkeeper, turned his head and put the folding fan in his hand on his chest, just looking at the tall and black man with a beard in front of him with a smile, as if he had expected his arrival.
This Tong Feihu brought more than two dozen guards here, including the six who were thrown down from the second floor by Shao Xi before.
The leader of the guards was pointing at Shao Xi with an aggrieved face at this time and said to Tong Feihu: "Second master, this person is the one who threw a few of us from the upper floor, his martial arts are not weak, and even I, a five-grade person, have no power to fight back in front of him, today it depends on whether you can take this breath for the little ones." ”
In fact, it's no wonder that he feels wronged, the existence of Wupin in the rivers and lakes is already extremely enviable, let alone being a guard.
You must know that when Shao Xi accepted Fu Biao, who was also a five-grade guard, as a guard, he was still sighing that he was a little condescending, so there are indeed not many people who can afford to raise a five-grade guard.
It can be seen that the Tong family is also wealthy, and has recruited a group of people with good martial arts skills from the rivers and lakes as the guards of the family, and it must have cost a lot of money to recruit people with five grades.
But now that even the guards of these five products have been beaten outside, the Tong family naturally feels resentful, thinking that no one in the Tong family has dared to take the initiative to offend them in the local area for so many years.
Even the Qianyu Gate on Lingyu Mountain near here and them only keep up with each other, and they don't offend each other, I don't know which guy who is not long-sighted and impatient today dares to do something to the people of his Tong family?
However, Tong Feihu also knew that a person who could easily defeat the leader of the guards who was a fifth grade would have to have a martial arts rank at least above the sixth grade, so as a person in the early stage of the sixth grade, although his eyes were sharp and his face was not good, he did not dare to be careless in his heart.
However, for those who offended his Tong family, he naturally had no politeness at all.
So after looking Shao Xi up and down, he asked unceremoniously, "Boy, who are you?" What is the origin? Why do you dare to beat my Tong family in Shimen Town? Do you know what kind of trouble you've caused yourself? ”
Shao Xi shook the folding fan in his hand, still looking at Tong Feihu with a smile and not saying a word, just shook his head gently, which made Tong Feihu a little dazed for a while, I don't know if Shao Xi didn't understand what he said, or was he too lazy to take care of him?
"Damn, I'm asking you! How dare you pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu broke your dog's leg today? ”
Shao Xi still smiled and shook his head, but still didn't reply to him.
