Fifty miles outside the city of Wanzhou, in a mountain forest, there was a caravan on the way.

The caravan was small, led by a carriage driven by an old man who seemed to be asleep. The carriages are tightly covered by dark red curtains. Behind the carriage, there were about a dozen wagons loaded with goods. After a long journey, dozens of guards and chariot men on both sides were a little listless, and the pace of the horses was also messy.

In this way, it is very common for caravans to travel without magic weapons and rely on guards to protect them, and there are not a hundred but eighty people who come and go to Wanzhou City every day.

As the capital of Suzhou, Wanzhou City has a population of one million and covers a wide area, in addition to large and small family chambers of commerce, many small caravans like to go to Wanzhou to resell goods. First, because of the large demand for goods in the evening boat, whether it is ordinary people, dignitaries or monks, as long as the goods are good, they must have a price and a market. Many businessmen who have small assets in a county like to pour some fresh goods and pull them to Wanzhou City, maybe something in their hands will be looked at by a certain eldest son or young lady, and a trip to buy and sell is a million profits.

Businessmen are profitable, especially small traders. Buying and selling, some people buy and sell, gold and silver are like gambling, it may soar into the sky, and if you lose it, you will go bankrupt. It turned out that there was a merchant who had bought a full fifteen truckloads of red coral in the East China Sea, and wanted to come to the evening boat and sell it at a good price. After entering the city, it was found that the prosperous decorative things at this time were the Shaoyan red stone transported from the northwest thousands of miles away, which was more powerful than the red coral, the color was red and transparent, and it was slightly pondered by the Seiko craftsmen, and the shape felt good, so it was all the rage. The merchant had no choice but to sell the coral to a restaurant at a very low price, and then walked out of the city with tears in his eyes. But not long after, when the mother of the courtier's waiter was in the evening boat, it was the old lady's 80th birthday, and the great eunuch in the palace came to celebrate the birthday on behalf of the Holy Emperor, and told the old lady that he liked the strange red coral at home, and asked the old man where he got it. Originally, it was just a housekeeper who accidentally bought it back as a decoration in the restaurant, but he didn't expect to be looked at by the big eunuch, just ordinary coral, but suddenly it became popular, and the restaurant made a lot of money, but it had nothing to do with the businessman.

At this time, the convoy also looked like one of the caravans rushing to Wanzhou City to try their luck, but for some reason they did not take the official road and walked through this forest.

"Sir. A young man in black with a sword walked up to the lead horse and called out to the car. Judging by the appearance, he should be the leader of this group of guards.

"What's the matter?" A low, slightly hoarse voice came from inside the car, the voice was lazy and a little weak.

"Master, my subordinates don't understand, since we have been disguising ourselves as a caravan all the way from the official road to here, why are we going to take this forest path instead when it is almost night?"

"Save money. The middle-aged man in the car was concise and to the point.

Hearing this, the young man did not know how to reply for a while.

"You, everything is good, but after following me for all these years, some eyes are above the top. The middle-aged man in the car had a somewhat admonishing tone, and the young man was shocked when he heard it, and bowed his head to be taught.

"Underestimating a god king is the stupidest thing in the world, especially a person who once single-handedly formed the Huangquan Army. No matter what Zhou Yuan's own strength is or how old he is, the people who have underestimated him since many years are now chatting and drinking tea together in the underworld. The middle-aged man in the car said in a mocking tone, he could directly call King Yong'an's real name, and the people in the car should have a great background.

The young man was in a cold sweat when he heard this, he only followed the master in the car in the capital six years ago, and saw King Yong'an from a distance, and he was not impressed by the thin old man, let alone in awe.

"On this trip, I didn't even think to avoid the eyes and ears of King Yong'an, probably the moment we set off from the capital, he already knew. Since you know that I am coming, you know the purpose of my coming, this is only fifty miles away from Wanzhou City, and some of the customs clearance fees along the official road are going into the pocket of the prince, and the purpose of our coming here is to kill his so-called daughter. Since he has such a deep hatred, why should I give him a few taels of silver?" As we all know, King Yong'an has only one daughter, Zhou Zhi, the small county lord of Yong'an Palace, and the person in the car actually killed a god king county lord and said it in a grand manner, which is really incredible.

The young man nodded, not knowing if anyone in the car could see it. Then he spoke again, "Master, that little county lord, is it really .....?"

"Shut up!" the middle-aged man in the car suddenly burst into rage. The old man driving in front of him opened his eyes slightly, and then fell into a half-asleep state again.

"Bastard! How many times have I told you, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just keep what you think in your heart! Why, after going out for half a month, you have forgotten the methods of the Prison Lord?!" When the young man outside the car heard this, he immediately bowed his head and walked beside him, not daring to breathe.

The people in the carriage fell silent, and the only sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling was clearly visible in the entire caravan.

"Well, not at you. The middle-aged man in the car suddenly sighed, and his tone softened a lot: "As a teacher, I have been learning from the previous generation of adults since I was a child, and I am proficient in intrigue and planning." Over the years, countless people inside and outside the government and the opposition have disappeared because of me. But Miao Wen, Lord Jianguo, is the only one who makes the teacher feel afraid, a young man who has just turned twenty-five years old, and you are not unaware of the methods he has shown in the past few years!"

Six years ago, after a series of shocking changes in the imperial court, the Holy Emperor retired to the Hidden Palace to cultivate, but it was not passed on to the crown prince or other princes. What is surprising is that when the Holy Emperor was in retreat, he passed the edict that no one knew at that time, and Li Wang, the eighteen-year-old disciple of Tianxinglou, was the prisoner. If the Holy Emperor hadn't written it by hand before the death retreat, even the chief eunuch would have doubted the authenticity of the edict.

The Holy Emperor's cultivation was ostensibly a retreat to reach a higher realm, but in fact, after that major event, the Holy Emperor was disheartened and no longer wanted to ask about the court. Cultivation means abdication, and a new emperor should be appointed to the throne. Even if he is temporarily appointed to supervise the country and take charge of the country, he should also select a person of high moral integrity from the three provinces and six ministries. Accepting the order of a young man who has never sought official positions and is only 18 years old is simply a ridiculous joke in the world and an unreasonable troublemaker! Not to mention that the old supervisor of Tianxinglou died in a shocking change, and the young man has no foundation in the government and the opposition, how can he take on the position of supervising the country. The crown prince and the third prince even rebelled on the grounds that their father was trapped by demons!

However, what surprised the whole world was -

One month!

Just one month!

This young man named Li Wang, calmed down all the opposition and sat firmly in the position of the prison country, a month of bloody rain, I don't know how many heads fell to the ground, the crown prince and the third prince were still imprisoned in the deep palace at this time, and they had not taken a step for six years.

For six years, whether it was the imperial court or the sects in various places, all of them really appreciated the horror of Li Wang. All kinds of layouts, one link to the other. A number of well-established but corrupt and money-hungry officials were ousted. The former head of the household department, because the financial aspects blocked Li Wang, he found out some "conclusive" corruption and bribery. A total of 243 people in the whole family were washed in blood, and the family was wiped out, and it is said that the blood seeped into the ground three feet deep at that time, and the old Shangshu Mansion did not grow a single inch of grass from then on.

Although the hundred officials were afraid, they had to admit that the efficiency and financial resources of the entire imperial court were better than before, and more talented and ambitious young people walked out of the academy and began to shine in the imperial court. The mountain sects and the Jianghu sects also kept to themselves more peacefully, and paid materials to the imperial court on time every year, which were used for the construction of the border army to prevent the invasion of enemies such as the northwest grasslands and the southern Wu tribes.

In the past six years, the fear of the hundred officials for this prison lord has become deeper and deeper, and it has even penetrated into the bone marrow, but the people have become more and more supportive of him. But this lord of the prison who is in charge of the world does not seem to have the slightest thought about the dragon chair, and every morning in the morning, he will kneel with the hundred officials like the empty dragon chair above. When deliberating, he has always stood below, and has never trespassed at all.

At this time, the middle-aged man in the carriage was also very afraid in the hearts of the hundred officials, but in the midst of fear, there was more of a deep disgust!

The history of the law of the Butterfly Courtyard - Xiahou Lian!

.......

In the west, above the clouds.

Huge magic weapons are flying in the sky.

The distance between the east and west, north and south sides of the ritual vessel is more than ten miles, and the lotus flower shapes cover the sky and the sun.

The lotus flower is divided into three layers, the outermost layer is one hundred and eight petals, the petals are white, and there are completely different formation symbols engraved on the petals. The two layers of pale yellow petals have two out of seventy, slowly rotating clockwise, and seventy-two handmaidens are faintly visible. The third layer of petals is golden, only 36 petals, the golden light flows, the treasure is solemn, just like the release of the family "Pan Jin Lotus turns into the other side of the sentient beings".

Above the lotus flower, there is a huge manor like a fairyland!

Qionglou Yuyu, the pavilion is meandering, several acres of spiritual fields in the park, planted with thousands of rare and exotic fruits, thick as the essence of the aura condensed into a colorful rainbow hanging high in it, hundreds of wonderful girls of green silk and thin sand walk through it, a fairyland on earth!

In the middle of the manor, there is a white jade tower, the tower is nine stories high, looking at its material, it should be an extremely rare East China Sea grandmother jade. On the jade tower, nine real dragons are carved and circling upward, the dragon is mighty and majestic. What's even more amazing is that the whole jade pagoda doesn't seem to be built, but a huge piece of grandmother jade, carved into shape!

Tenren Palace!

The second largest family chamber of commerce in the mainland, a family comparable to a country's huge wealth, the treasure of the Murong family!

"The ancient lotus, the essence of heaven and earth, turns into seven seeds, and falls all over the world. This is the description of Tianlian in the book "All Things" compiled by the Academy. Tianlian was born in the ancient Kunlun Immortal Pond and is one of the most cherished treasures in the world. There were only seven seeds in the world, five of which were missing, one was cultivated by the Murong family to become such a palace, and the other was in the Dragon Tiger Mountain Dao Hell Thunder Pool, waiting for the destined disciples to collect them.

At this time, above the ninth floor of the White Jade Pagoda, a middle-aged fat man with a big belly was lying on the white jade railing, raising his eyes and looking into the distance. is different from the third son of the Yongan Wang family, this is not just a round face, it is really fat, with a fat head, big ears, a big waist, wearing ordinary cloth clothes, a pair of shrewd little eyes on a round face, and two mustaches above the mouth, no matter how you look at it, she looks like an ordinary nouveau riche.

However, next to the fat man, two stunning twin girls in golden robes and rare in the world are slim!

"If the smoke and rain are idle, the immortals in the world will fall. ”

The two women are the seventeenth in the "Immortal Face List" of Taiping Academy, and the twin sisters who were adopted by the Murong family since childhood, Ting Yu and Ting Yan.

And the fat man in the middle is the chief steward of thousands of Murong family firms and countless stores in the world, known as the walking money bag - Liu Yueyue.

Yes, that's right, it's not Liu Peng, it's Liu Yueyue.

The Murong family has a history of more than 4,000 years, and the ancestor is the seventh disciple of the ancestor of Shangdao and the disciple of the closed door, Murong Zhiqiu. In the Murong family, there is one of the most important family rules: in the family, the chief steward is respected, but the chief steward is not necessarily a member of the family!

Every ten years, the Murong family will compete with the chamber of commerce and the family to screen out ten outstanding people, let them enter the family forbidden land to be tested, the test can only be completed by one person, and the one who completes the test will replace the previous chief steward and become the new steward, in charge of the entire family industry and destiny, if the test is not completed, the previous chief steward will continue to serve.

The so-called chief steward in charge of the entire family business is not just talking. The chief steward can operate all the funds and properties of the family at will, and the entire family and its properties must cooperate unconditionally. For example, if you pass the test and become the chief steward and want to use all your wealth to attack the Shanhai Holy Dynasty, the entire family will not only not be able to stop it, but will have to fully cooperate! This seemingly unreasonable clan rule precisely reflects the Murong family's supreme understanding and pursuit of their own business ways, as well as their absolute confidence in the family test.

For thousands of years, not only many people want to take advantage of the test of the Murong family to leap to the sky. However, no matter what family cultivated elite geniuses, they could not pass the final test, and those who failed were all convinced, never mentioned the content of the test, and most of them worked hard to study business in the rest of their lives, and achieved small successes. Therefore, in history, all the chief stewards were served by members of the Murong family, and most of them were served by the descendants. However, fifteen years ago, a man with a strange name, from an ordinary guy in the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce, passed many tests, and finally reached the top and became the first head of the Murong family with a foreign surname. This incident shocked the whole world, and even the Holy Emperor personally inquired about the authenticity. What's even more admirable is that the Murong family not only did not feel ashamed of this, but instead hyped up building momentum for the new housekeeper.

The law of thousands of years was broken by a chubby young man who was not well known, which made the world in an uproar and at the same time wondered how the guy named Liu Yueyue would use such a huge wealth. However, in everyone's imagination, the scene of the Murong family's property being squandered did not appear. First, because the Murong family is too rich, even if a pig is released as the chief steward, all the clansmen squander it at will, and it is difficult to sit and eat without a hundred years. The second reason is that Liu Yueyue, the new chief manager, spent ten years to raise the entire family industry to a higher level! And the ability of the ancestors of the Murong family to raise the wealth of thousands of years was nothing more than that. Ten years later, the new trialists passed the test, so the position of steward remained the same.

At this time, the fat man who is rich in the world seems to be a little hungry.

"Tingyu, I'm hungry. Feed a lychee to eat, just the one that the group of old men in the south paid tribute to, what kind of lychee in the South China Sea, it tastes good. Liu Yueyue was like a child, put her chin on Magnolia to catch up, touched her stomach and said to her sister Tingyan on the left.

"Hee-hee. My sister's beautiful face showed a cute and playful smile, and the entire Heavenly Lotus Palace seemed to be brighter. "Chief steward, you said that this time you took us out to play, and you also want our sisters to get to know your handsome and dashing little brother who is a hundred of yours, and what did you say to let him marry both of us at the same time. Then now let's feed you lychees, isn't it unseemly?"

"Yes, that's right. Sister Tingyu also nodded in agreement.

"Alas. Is.... Is.... Two white-eyed wolves! Tell me, you tell me! I picked you two home, what did I want to do? At that time, your two sisters were small, dark, and thin every year, and there was no sign of growing into what they are now. In the future, I still have to take the five of them when I go out, and I will take the initiative to feed the stutter or something at every turn. Give it back to the master, I hung my shoulders and pinched my back, oh I remembered the feeling of Xiaohong's shoulders, and I missed it!" The fat man was thinking about it on the side, and my sister Tingyan couldn't listen to it, so she reached out and summoned a string of lychees that were not like ordinary products, picked one off, and did not peel off the skin, and stuffed it directly into the fat man's mouth.

"Hey, hey. Liu Yueyue smiled, the South China Sea tribute lychee, not only will it not be difficult to swallow with the skin, but it has a special aroma. The fat man ate the belt meat in three or two bites, and sighed with satisfaction.

"Steward, you said that there will be some earth-shattering events in Late Boat City, is it related to your little junior brother?"

"Yes, yes, so you see, how conscientious I am as a senior brother! The junior brother is in trouble, not only to help, but also to send her a pair of stunning beauties in the top twenty on the Tianji List, a senior brother like me, I can't find it with ten lanterns, right?" the fat man patted his stomach and said with a smile.

The two sisters had apparently been accustomed to his since childhood, and did not care at all.

"Then what is the matter, you still need to take Tianlian with you?" the younger sister became more and more puzzled.

"Hey. The fat man suddenly sneered.

"In this world, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. Some people always try in vain to control forces that do not belong to them, and try in vain to eliminate hidden dangers beyond their capabilities. The hearts of the people of this world can't help but be tested. This was true 2,000 years ago, and it is true 2,000 years later. It's just that people will always learn lessons, eat a cut and hurt once, hurt once and grow wiser, and it is always good to take your time. But you can't stop some fools who are not afraid of death, relying on some natural truths, doing murder and overselling goods. It's like the group of small butterflies raised in the courtyard of the imperial court. The fat man looked at the sea of clouds in front of him, and his eyes gradually became cold.

Then he laughed again, because he remembered a sentence that someone had once said.

- "Little fat man, it's okay to make money, don't be greedy!"

Oh, everyone in the world is not as good as a fox, he thought.

But in this world, who can compare to that fox?

.......

Evening Boat City, in an ordinary house,

A thin old lady was sitting cross-legged on the bed. The old man was very old, and the dense wrinkles of old trees were crammed into her thin face, and on his head, he wore a huge alien hat, two earrings made of unknown bones on his ears, and a staff of strange shape spread out on his legs.

The old man closed his eyes tightly and his face was gloomy.

Inside, in addition to the old man, there were four other women dressed like the old man, except that all four of them were covered with black veils, two of them were stationed in front of the hut, and the other two were meditating with their eyes closed on another shabby bed.

The only thing that caught people's eyes was a young girl sitting at the wooden table, the girl was also dressed as an alien, with a beautiful and lovely face, shoulder-length short hair, and a purple flame mark between her eyebrows. The short dress and short skirt reveal a small waist and slender legs, and a complex totem mark tattooed on the navel. The girl was barefoot, with a string of small bells hanging on each ankle, and as the girl shook her legs, a subtle sound was constantly heard.

What an exotic Miaojiang girl!

It's just that when you look past the girl's youthful and beautiful body and beautiful face, and see the old wooden table, you will be shocked to find that what the girl is teasing is actually a palm-sized blood-red spider!

"What's so noisy out there?"

At this time, the old man, who was meditating, suddenly heard some noise outside the house, and asked, his voice hoarse and dilapidated, extremely gloomy, like the legendary Meng Po who sent soup from hell.

A moment later, the door was pushed open, and an ordinary woman dressed as a Central Plains person walked in.

"Back to Grandmother. The woman knelt down in front of the old man, her index fingers and ring fingers together, and the rest of her fingers were put together, making a standard ancient witch worship ceremony. "The lights are hanging in the Roland Building. ”

"Oh?" the old man opened his eyes, and there was a sudden glint in his cloudy eyes.

Luo Lan Building, the world's No. 1 auction house, is one of the pillar industries of the Murong family.

"How many lamps have you lit?" asked the old man.

"Grandmother," the woman hesitated, as if she didn't quite believe what she saw, "yes... Seven.... Seven lights. ”

The old man jumped out of bed.

"Are you sure?" she stared at the woman, and the two women who were meditating on the bed across from her also got up and surrounded her.

"Sure! Back to Grandmother, not only are there seven lights, but two Jade Accounts are appearing at the same time!"

"Hehehehe..."The old man sat back on the edge of the bed and used his staff as a crutch on the ground. "Luolan Lou Seven Star Sky Lantern, if I remember it well, the last time was in the capital fifteen years ago, and the surname Liu had just become the head of the Murong family. Unexpectedly, at this time, it actually appeared in the evening boat. What do you want to do? Do you want to make a lot of money from this opportunity, or do you want to listen to the truth for some purpose?"

The old man was talking to himself on the bed, and several other people were standing with their heads bowed on the side, and the lovely witch girl, still not caring about herself, teasing the spider on the table.

"In any case, the seven-star auction of Roland House is rare. It's a must, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains!"

"Xiao Luan. The old man turned his head and called out to the girl, and his voice was obviously much kinder. "It's useful to get a few emperor spiders out. ”

The girl turned her head, stuck out her tongue, and smiled sweetly.

......

The seventh day of the third month

In the middle of the city, there is a magnificent seven-story pavilion. From top to bottom, hang out seven ever-bright lights.

Shock the world!

Countless big names heard this.

In the Yong'an Palace, the young scholar was in the room, put down the scroll in his hand, and stretched out his right thumb in the direction of the tall building outside the window.

"Senior brother!
