Chapter 37: Absurdity
"Zhang Taixu?"
Lu Zhaozhao's eyebrows frowned slightly...
Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan asked puzzledly: "The poor Dao's surname is Zhang, and the Dao number is too empty, is there anything wrong with calling himself Zhang Taixu?" ”
"Nope..."
Lu Zhaozhao smiled, and a pair of good-looking dimples were squeezed out of his unpowdered face.
"I've heard of this name, and it is rumored that Zhang Yangming and Zhang Daochang, who are too imaginary, are also called Zhang Taixu, but I don't know what the relationship between friends and that Zhang Daochang is?"
"That's the family teacher..."
Zhang Xiuyuan explained: "The name of Taixu is the name of the Lord of Taixu Guan, but the family teacher has passed away, so it is now inherited by the poor Dao. ”
"Oh~"
Lu Zhaozhao nodded suddenly, and a bright smile appeared on his face, and said: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the jokes of Taoist friends, the little woman has admired the name of the Taixu Master for a long time, and she still wanted to go to the Taixu Temple tomorrow to worship one or two, but I never thought that today I would meet the master of the Taixu Master, and now the Taixu Guan Master, which is really a blessing." ”
“……”
Zhang Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and asked with a strange expression: "Lu Daoyou actually knows the name of the rivers and lakes such as 'Taixu Shangren'?" ”
"Why can't I know the names of the rivers and lakes?"
Lu Zhaozhao asked rhetorically, and then smiled: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the jokes of Taoist friends, the little woman has always admired chivalrous people, and the Master Taixu walked the rivers and lakes in the early years to punish the evil and eliminate the evil, and help the poor as their own responsibility, thirty or fifty years ago, who in the rivers and lakes around the Jiangnan Mansion did not admire the Taixu Master?" ”
She didn't lie about this, since he got the Holy Leader's Holy Statement, he took over the task and came to Jiangnan Mansion and began to investigate the life and history of the Holy Seed 'Zhang Yangming'.
He found that among the older generation of Jianghu people in Jiangnan Mansion, there were two small poems that described Taixu Shangren.
One is 'thick eyebrows and vertical words are like thunder, and when you hear that you are uneven, you will put the cup';
The second is 'the sword rises and the stars run thousands of miles, and the sound of rain is rough when the wind and thunder are rough'.
The former refers to the appearance and character of the Taixu Venerable, with thick eyebrows and a voice like thunder, even if he hears injustices during meals and tea, he will put down the matter at hand and take care of it.
The latter refers to the cultivation and character of the Venerable Master, and even if the thief is thousands of miles away, even if it is windy and rainy on the way, he will kill him with a sword in the starry night.
Not only is his cultivation extremely high and his heart tenacious, but he is also chivalrous and courageous, and his conduct is noble.
Lu Zhaozhao grew up in the Holy Fire Sect since he was a child, advocating great light, and the teachings he received since childhood were the opposition between light and darkness, the confrontation between good and evil, and the victory of good over evil.
Therefore, although she is a woman, she is still one of the three candidate saints in the sect, but she is also as fierce as fire, and she also respects the chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes.
In her inherent thoughts, she also faintly 'understood' why Zhang Yangming became one of the holy seeds of the Holy Sect.
“……”
At this time, Zhang Xiuyuan's face was very weird...
Especially when I saw that Lu Zhaozhao said with a straight face that he admired the chivalrous man and admired his master, his expression did not seem to be fake, and a sense of absurdity rose inexplicably in his heart.
First, he thought of the identity of the other party's 'person behind the gambling house', and there was a strong sense of disobedience in what he said and did.
The second is that he thought that his master had searched for immortal fate all his life, but he didn't find it until he died, and he never thought that there was a little fan sister of a qi refiner?
The two are blended together, and the sense of absurdity is even more absurd.
Weird...
Zhang Xiuyuan smiled inexplicably and asked, "Lu Daoyou admires chivalrous people, but I don't know how this gambling house has become a place to hide filth and dirt?" Where do you want to make money? ”
"Why did Daoyou say this?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao glanced at Jin Chuanchang on the side, saw that his eyes were dodging, and he looked anxious, and thought of Zhang Taixu in front of him who came to the gambling house even though he was a qi refiner, and seemed to understand something.
She arched her hand and said: "I also came to Gusu today, thinking of settling here to rest for a while, I really don't know what is hidden in this gambling house business, and I hope that Daoyou will say it clearly." ”
"Oh?"
Zhang Xiuyuan saw that Jin Chuanchang's face on the side turned a little pale, and asked: "Lu Daoyou, didn't you know that there was a gambling service drug at the door of the gambling house this morning?" ”
"I know this..."
Lu Zhaozhao nodded sharply and said: "But the gambling house business has always been regular, and the gambler is also willing to play here, it is a gamble, naturally there are losses and wins, and it is not the gambler's intention to lose money and take drugs, is there any hidden meaning in this matter?" ”
Zhang Xiuyuan also recognized some of what she said, and responded: "This is a gambling house, and it is indeed something that gamblers are willing to play here, and it is indeed reasonable to gamble and win and lose." ”
He smiled secretively, and then changed his words and said: "But what Lu Daoyou said about the business here has always been regular, but Poor Dao does not dare to agree. ”
“……”
Hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao looked at Jin Chuanchang on the side again, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss Yu..."
Jin Chuanchang was so frightened that he fell to his knees and explained tremblingly: "The person who took the poison is called Wang Binggui, this person is a gambler, and he is a famous loser in the neighborhood. He used to have some family assets, and he often played in the gambling house, and he was also familiar with the people in the gambling house. It's just that later he lost all his family assets and played less. ”
At first, the people below just thought that Wang Binggui had no money to gamble, so they ignored him. Xu is that Wang Binggui can't accept such a gap, so he often shows that his ancestors are wealthy and the ancestral house is spacious. The people below were annoyed by him, so they set up a game to win the title deed of his family's ancestral homestead. ”
"That Wang Binggui lost the title deed of the ancestral house, and owed a lot of gambling debts, and he had been hiding from people a few days ago, and his old mother was blind to crying for him. Yesterday, I don't know where he got some money, and he came here to play again, and after losing the money, he came forward and took arsenic, and when I sent someone to send him to the hospital, the person was already dead. ”
“……”
Lu Zhaozhao's face was cloudy when he heard this...
Secretly thinking that it was no wonder that he came to the gambling house to settle down, Jin Chuanchang was trembling and didn't dare to look at himself more, it turned out that he had done something contrary to the teachings, and his heart was weak!
The most important thing is that this guy still dares to deceive himself!
Thinking that she had just sworn that the business of the gambling house had always been regular, she only felt that her face was hot for a while, and there seemed to be a fire in her heart.
She snorted coldly and looked at Jin Chuanchang, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked coldly: "Jin Chuanchang, you are also an old man in the family, do you remember the family rules?" ”
"Please also Miss Mingjian!!"
Jin Chuanchang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly defended: "The small one who runs the gambling house here can't be on the table, and his subordinates have three sects and nine streams, and the people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is difficult for the small ones to ensure that the people under them will abide by the rules!" ”
He sighed, and said with a bitter face: "Let's talk about it again, although the small one is not in the stream, it is not down to the point of calculating a market gambler." If it weren't for Wang Binggui taking poison in front of the gambling house this morning, the little one wouldn't know who he was, let alone know that there was such a thing! ”
"Wrong is wrong..."
Lu Zhaozhao shook his head, and said: "Since you are responsible for running the gambling house here, it is also your own responsibility to know people who are not clear and the emperor is not strict. ”
“……”
Jin Chuanchang's heart trembled when he heard this, and he wanted to defend himself, but his lips were simmering but he couldn't speak, so he only leaned over and kowtowed bitterly, and said: "The little one has been ordered to run here for many years, even if he has no credit, he has a little hard work, and I hope that Miss... Spare a little life. ”
“……”
Lu Zhaozhao did not answer, but looked at Zhang Xiuyuan, who was silently on the side, and said apologetically: "Let Daoyou see and laugh, I really don't know about this matter." ”
"I see..."
Zhang Xiuyuan bowed slightly, and he understood why Jin Chuanchang glanced at the second floor when he mentioned Wang Binggui at the gambling table just now.
Lu Zhaozhao saw that he didn't care much, and reminded him meaningfully: "Since Daoyou has come here to stand up for that Wang Binggui, how to punish this matter should be based on the opinions of Daoyou." ”
"Lu Daoyou misunderstood..."
Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Poor Dao is not here for anyone, but I don't want an old mother to go with regrets." ”
"Dao Ye is benevolent!"
Jin Chuanchang's throat rolled up and down, and kowtowed to Zhang Xiuyuan: "The little one is willing to go to Wang Binggui's old mother in person, present the ancestral house deed, explain the reason and make amends." If her old family is willing, the little one is willing to support her old man! ”
“……”
Zhang Xiuyuan was silent.
He didn't come here to stand out for anyone, but simply felt that if the Li family learned the news that his son Wang Binggui had died, it would probably be difficult for him to live alone.
Go down the mountain to the gambling house, redeem the ancestral house deed, end the cause and effect of the red dust and fireworks served by their mother and son, and by the way, see how ugly the gambling house is.
All I ask for is a thought to be attained...
Now that the words have come to this, he is not an outsider who is not in charge of the Li family, and he no longer has the mind to measure how ugly this gambling house is.
"No need..."
He shook his head and said, "Poor Dao and Wang Binggui and his old mother have only had a one-sided relationship, and they can't make decisions for them. ”
"This ......"
Jin Chuanchang's kowtow action froze in place...
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't want to deal with them more, so he walked to the gambling table and said, "Poor Dao won twenty games here, and he won about 10,000 taels of silver, and these silver coins can be regarded as redeeming the title deed." ”
With that, he folded up the title deed on the gambling table, folded up his cuffs, arched his hand and said 'farewell', and walked out of the door of the gambling house.
The scoundrels outside the door were all startled when they saw the man go out, or turned their eyes away and pretended not to see it, or looked at the sky and muttered that they were going home to collect their clothes.
