Chapter 8 Who's Behind the Scenes?

"Rude!"

Huo Ran, the short-haired old man of the hedgehog, stood up, his voice was like a thunderbolt, "Elders speak, how can you interject!"

"What a bastard who doesn't know the rules. "I don't know the number of etiquette, where is it like my high-ranking disciple?" Yigan Elder was speechless, frowning and glaring.

"Dare to ask you, what is etiquette?" Zhi Zhenzhen snorted lightly, didn't care about the fierce eyes cast around, and said calmly, "The former Supreme Grandmaster Kong Ni once said, 'When you meet the wise, talk about etiquette and music. When encountering birds and beasts, use knives and guns. It can be seen that the rites vary from person to person. ”

"Little rabbit cub, you actually compare us to beasts, it's just disrespectful, how can this be reasonable!" The hedgehog short-haired old man was furious, smashing the seat with one palm, and the residual energy that was emitted rushed towards Zhi Kari.

Zhi Zhenzhen turned sideways and avoided it, and sneered: "Do you understand the etiquette? The old lady and the patriarch haven't spoken yet, but you are rushing to blow your beard and stare at your hands, don't you have no respect for the elder? This is the Yongning Marquis Mansion, as a clan elder, you smash his family's things at will, I don't know which principle to follow?"

"Bastard! bastard!" The hedgehog short-haired old man was so angry that his face was bare-necked, and he almost wanted to do it, but he didn't dare to go too far. The boy who looked up and rolled his eyes stood in the corner, his mouth wide open, staring at Shin Zhigari in surprise.

The clan elders shook their heads one after another. The old man in colorful clothes said with a smile: "This young white horse lang has not yet entered the Hou Mansion, so he is so arrogant and domineering. If he really became the son of the world, he would not climb on top of us?"

That's not true. "The arrogant, arrogant and imperious." Domineering, domineering and arbitrary. Dare to ask this elder, how is he tyrannical and domineering? Could it be that he refutes people with reason, and acting according to etiquette is arrogant and domineering? I think that you want me to drop blood to test my relatives, so that you can be arrogant and domineering!"

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, he no longer quarreled with the young man, and bowed upwards and said: "Old lady, patriarch, this son is arrogant and rude, and he doesn't want to drop blood to test his relatives, it is better to drive him out of the Hou Mansion, so as not to make the Yuan family a laughing stock in Jiankang." ”

An old woman with goosebumps said: "If you refuse to drop blood for a family test, you must be a fish-eyed confuse and pretend to be the heir of Yuan Dun." Simply take down the prison and torture him. ”

Everyone said yes again and again, Wang Yifu's eyes were anxious, and he repeatedly told him in advance to be cautious, how could he be so presumptuous?

The old lady paused for a pause, and the audience was silent. She looked at Zhi Zhenzhen quietly for a while, and then asked, "The clan elders want you to drop blood for a blood test, how can it be rude?"

"The old lady is graceful. Zhi Zhen first saluted respectfully, and then said, "Isn't it rude to be difficult for a strong man?" My real name is Zhao An, and it was only because I listened to Wang Changshi and my mother's words that I traveled thousands of miles to the Hou Mansion. The original intention was just to take care of the pain of the loss of the Hou Ye's son, and to save his eyes and greet him, and he did not have the heart to cling to the wealth. ”

His eyes slowly swept around, and he said proudly: "You are indiscriminate, as soon as you see each other, you want me to drop blood to recognize your relatives, try to ask where is the number of etiquette?

"Hee-hee, he's right. A crisp voice came suddenly, and the red-crowned crane opened and closed its long beak, and its pupils flashed a naughty smile.

The clan elders were shocked, this crane and the original old lady have been together since childhood, and they have long been psychic, does the old lady mean ...... Everyone had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while, only the old man with short hair on the hedgehog shouted angrily: "You don't dare to take a blood test, you just have a ghost in your heart!"

"What if I dare?"

"You are the prince of Yongning!"

"Okay!" Zhi Hunt Zhen immediately took over, "Then drop blood to verify to distinguish the authenticity!"

Yuan Lao Taijun nodded, Yuan Taiqiu hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and ordered.

Only then did the old man in colorful clothes react, and his heart was not good. These clan elders do not doubt the bloodline of the young man, and the blood test is just a formality, and the difference between the scholars and the family is the highlight of the other party. Unexpectedly, he was provoked by the young man's words a few times, but the focus fell on the blood test.

This son is so deceitful! The old man in colorful clothes suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and the young man refused to take a blood test before, which was obviously a means of wanting to welcome and refuse! At a young age, how could he be so scheming? His eyes wandered, peeking at the old man with short hair on the hedgehog, did Lao Liuyuan Tianxi blurt out on impulse, or did he secretly collude with the young man and act in a double reed play?

In front of everyone's eyes, a glazed jade bowl was presented and handed to Zhi Hunt Zhen. There was a blood bead rolling at the bottom of the bowl, shining red, like a gem, exuding a wisp of masculine aura, which was a drop of essence blood of Hou Yuandun of Yongning.

Zhi Zhenzhen bit his middle finger and was about to squeeze his blood, when the old man in colorful clothes suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

Yuan Taiqiu asked, "What's the matter with Jing Zhong?"

Yuan Jingzhong bowed his hand to the original old lady and the original Taiqiu: "The blood test is a big matter, let me wait for the clan elders to extract it more steadily." ”

"I'm coming!" Yuan Tianxi didn't say anything, and rushed forward.

Yuan Jingzhong narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yuan Tianxi, feeling more and more inappropriate. Yuan Tianxi rolled up Zhi Zhenzhen's sleeves, pinched his five fingers, scratched his forearm, and a large piece of blood oozed out and threw it towards the glazed jade bowl.

Dozens of pairs of eyes were cast at the bottom of the bowl at the same time.

"Rebel! Say, by whom!"

In another mansion in Qinghua Lane, Pan Bigao, the patriarch of the Pan clan, sat in the main hall, his face gloomy as haze.

Pan Anren knelt underneath, trembling. Pan Shilang stood on the side and couldn't help shaking his head: "Second nephew, you stopped the boat and provoked, and you lost the face of the Pan family, the clan elders will be very dissatisfied, and there are also whispers on the side of Dongzhen Wuzhitian." If we don't tell the truth, we will only cause even greater harm. ”

Pan Anren's face was pale, and his voice trembled: "Father, second uncle, I, I ......"

"Still want to swallow and spit out?" Pan Bi sneered, and the cracks in the center of his eyebrows suddenly opened, shaped like vertical eyes, and white light flowed. A head the size of Ganoderma lucidum poked out of the vertical eye, the face was no different from Pan Bi, the complexion was pale, full of folds, the tongue spit out a roll like a snake, and there was a sound of "sizzling", and the tongue coating was covered with small ears and small eyeballs, trembling and blinking from time to time.

Pan Shilang exclaimed: "Big brother wants to use Bai Ze's puppet, this will damage An Ren's divine sense!" Pan's descendants were born with three eyes, and the bloodline birthmark on the center of the eyebrows is the third eye, also known as the heavenly pupil. Once the cultivation enters the refining of the gods and returns to the void, the heavenly pupil opens by itself, giving birth to a variety of supernatural powers. The Heavenly Pupil's supernatural powers vary from person to person, each with its own power, but once the Heavenly Pupil is activated, it will also consume the foundation.

"It's a big deal, and we have to find out. You also know that Buddhism has not been in Beijing for a long time, and the dark tide of all parties is surging, and the situation is about to erupt. If this little beast is used by someone and gets involved, won't it affect the entire family?" Pan Bi Senran said, his heavenly pupil magic power is this Bai Ze puppet, who is good at understanding everything, distinguishing between truth and falsehood, peeping at mistakes, and detecting everything.

"Dad, I said, I said, don't use my supernatural powers!" Pan Anren's face was full of horror, if his divine sense was damaged, his path would definitely be greatly affected.

"It's too late. Pan Bi shook his head indifferently, and the white puppet in the center of his eyebrows stared at Pan Anren, flashing a mysterious milky white light.

Pan Anren's expression froze, as stunned as a wooden chicken.

Bai Ze's lips squirmed, and his voice seemed to be mixed with countless strange noises: "How do you know about Yongning Hou's private son? How do you know that he is on that merchant ship, and why do you want to stop the ship and provoke?"

Pan Anren Mune replied: "Ten days ago, I played a few hands at the Silver Hook Gambling House in the west of the city, and my luck was very bad, and I lost more than 100 pieces of honey jade in a row. ”

"A hundred yuan!" Pan Shilang exclaimed, he served as a servant in Shangshu Province, and his annual salary was only thirty pieces of honey jade.

Pan Anren continued: "I don't have gambling debts yet, and I'm afraid that the people in the gambling house will make trouble at home, and they will be scolded by the clan elder and my father." The owner of the gambling house told me that there was a customer who was willing to pay my debts for him, as long as I helped him do a small thing. ”

Bai Ze's puppet's gaze suddenly fell on the tortoiseshell wrench on Pan Anren's middle finger, his tongue was elongated, he curled the wrench, licked it carefully, and the small mouth and small eyes on the tongue kept trembling. "This wrench was given to him by the guest, and there is a rune array for communication. The other party was wearing a dream raccoon mask, and his voice was also disguised with exercises, so he couldn't distinguish the authenticity. After a while, Bai Ze retracted his long tongue and said slowly.

"A priceless dream raccoon mask?" Pan Bi Senran smiled, "What a big stroke!" "The dream raccoon dog is a strange beast of Zehuang, and the mask made of raccoon dog skin is ever-changing, and the profound Taoism is difficult to see.

Pan Anren continued: "The matter of the Yuan family's private son was revealed by that guest. He promised me that as long as I let the private son make a fool of himself in public, he would not only help me pay off my gambling debts, but also give me another twenty pieces of honey jade. I thought to myself, our Pan family is already at odds with the Yuan family, and it will be good for the Pan family to make the other party embarrassed. ”

He paused, and then said, "If you step on Yuan's face, Daddy will be happy." Since I was a child, I couldn't compare to my eldest brother, and in my father's eyes, I only had my eldest brother. I know I'm useless, but I want my dad to praise me......"

"Big brother!" Pan Shilang shouted categorically, "Just ask here, he is your own son after all!" His nails were deeply embedded in his palm, thinking "From childhood to adulthood, I can't compare to my eldest brother, and in my father's eyes, I only have a big brother." Looking at my favorite nephew again, my heart ached.

"In front of the interests of the Pan family, he is nothing. Pan Bi's expression was cold, and Bai Ze's puppet closed his eyes slightly, as if he was silently pondering.

Pan Shilang said eagerly: "Big brother, this matter is still unclear, the other party is most likely from the original clan of Boling County, and he doesn't want that private son to inherit the title, so he makes a hindrance." Although An Ren made a mistake and was taken advantage of, it was not a big deal. ”

"Brother Xi, what you think is too simple. Pan Bi shook his head slightly, "The real boss of the Silver Hook Gambling House is actually Zhang Jiying, a waiter in Menxia Province. Who is Zhang Jiying? He is the prince's man!"

Pan Xi Pan Shilang was stunned: "The prince wants to engage in the Yuan clan?"

"Not true. Bai Ze suddenly opened his eyes, his long tongue trembling frequently, "Who has benefited the most from this matter?"

Pan Xi was stunned and said, "It should be that private son, stepping on his nephew to make a name for himself." ”

"That's him, at least it's about him. Bai Ze yawned, lazily retracted his eyebrows, and the crack slowly stitched up.

Pan Xi was stunned for a long time, and shouted in shock: "Is this private son setting up a game and looking for someone to step on himself?"

"So I picked something that didn't make it!" Pan Bi paced to the front of the hall, pushed open the blue cage screen, and looked deeply in the direction of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, "This matter also involves the prince. I don't know who is behind that private man, who actually laid out such a game of chess?"

Under the moonlight, Prince Qiao was dressed in a starry coat and held a jade flute, floating on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
