Chapter 146

To be honest, Lu Chuan's hand was something that everyone present didn't expect, only to see him raise his sword eyebrows and say: "Xiong Binan, I sacrificed my life to save your life, what did I say to you when I was about to part? Every time I see you in the casino, every time I see you being beaten by ruffians and hooligans, who are you worthy of doing this!" said two slaps again.

Xiong Bi Nan didn't even dare to move. Blame it, I feel sorry for others, how much risk did Lu Chuan take to save him? However, people didn't ask for reciprocation, they only said two things, one was to kill Liao Hui, but he didn't do it, Liao Hui was killed by Jiang Bin, and one thing was to persuade him to quit gambling, but he didn't do it. Don't mention it when you think of this, you can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

On the side, Wang Shouren and everyone persuaded for a long time, and Lu Chuan was relieved. Wang Shouren said, "Senior brother, where do you think we are going now? It's not a problem to be a cat in the woods, if you are seen by passers-by, and you mistake for a villain, won't it be troublesome to attract officials?"

Lu Chuan nodded and glared at Xiong Binan, "Let's go to Jieqiao Village in the north of the city and let him lead the way." ”

Xiong Bi Nan is a good guy who doesn't remember what he eats, and when he heard about Jieqiao Village, he forgot about the beating just now, "Are you going to see our brothers?"

"Kumamuro Minami is also in Jieqiao Village?"

"Yes, our brother is studying with Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan don't look old, he is highly educated, once when I went, there was a horse parked at the door, and there was an official standing errand, I thought something was wrong, it turned out that I was here to give Mr. Yan a gift. ”

"So Mr. Yan is at home?"

"It's not at home, Mr. Yan just came back from the capital last month, there is something at home, his health is not good, and he has never been out. ”

Lu Chuan was stunned, "Are you sure he just came back from the capital last month?"

"Of course it's confirmed, Mr. Yan is an official next to the emperor Lao'er, and I heard that he will be the prime minister in the future, if it weren't for his grandfather's death, he would go home to keep filial piety, I remember that the old gentleman also told me a word, what is Ding, or what is guarded......"

"Guarding the system. ”

"Yes, they are officials and keep filial piety and call this thing. If Mr. Yan hadn't been worried about the system, would he have been willing to come from the capital to this poor place?"

Lu Chuan frowned and asked Wang Shouren in a low voice, "Senior brother, when was the last time we saw Yan Song?"

Wang Shouren counted on his fingers, "That's still in April." ”

He said that he was recuperating at home and had long since resigned. ”

"It's kind of weird. ”

But his handwriting is indeed the handwriting of a scholar, and that cannot be mistaken. But...... Compared with the reader, his kung fu is inevitably too good. ”

"Is it that you are thinking too much, junior brother, Mr. Yan in Xiong Bi Nan's mouth is not Yan Song?"

"No, Xiong Huanan said clearly, the officials around Zhu Houzhao will be prime ministers in the future, what else can a scholar of the Hanlin Academy who is not known as the prime minister? Although Jiangxi is a talented man, and he is known as a courtier and a half of Jiangxi, there are not two scholars in a village, right? And they are both surnamed Yan? Senior brother, you have been in the capital for many years, do you know what Yan Song's situation is in the capital?"

"I've only heard others say that he is a Jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, ranked thirty-eight, and ranked second in the second class of the palace examination, that is, fifth. After that, he was selected as a Shujishi, and when I was in the capital, he had not yet graduated, and he should have completed it last year or this year. ”

"But when we first met, I heard from my senior brother that he was in poor health, and he retired and returned home that year, what is going on?"

"He was not in good health at the beginning, but he said that he wanted to return to his hometown, but he didn't retreat. However, when I met him in the capital, he personally told me that he had graduated from the Shuji Shi and was working as an editor of the Hanlin Academy. Anyway, it's confusing, and I don't know what the hell is going on. ”

"Looks like we'll have to see him again to tell the difference. ”

Just ten miles in the blink of an eye, not long Lu Chuan and others arrived at Jieqiao Village in the north of the city, just arrived at the gate of the village, and saw a person standing on the side of the road, wearing a moon-white straight jacket, wearing a scarf, his face was like a crown of jade, three locks of beard, and there was a car parked next to him, and a servant who was not young was sitting on the wheel. It was Yan Song's master and servant.

Without waiting for Lu Chuan to speak, Xiong Bi Nan stepped forward and bowed first, and smiled before he spoke, "I said sir, you are really in good spirits today, Xiong Bi Nan has passed." ”

Yan Song nodded slightly, walked up to Luchuan Wang Shouren and the others, and swept the floor with a bow, "Song has seen Mr. Lu and Mr. ”

Wang Shouren hurriedly returned the salute, Lu Chuan smiled slightly, leaned over and whispered, "Brother Wei, did you send my pair?"

"What Gongzi explained, Song'an dared not to do it. ”

Lu Chuan laughed, "That's good." But brother, this is not a place to speak, since we are in front of the door, why don't you invite us to sit at home, so that you can give Mrs. Yan a stick of incense, and Mrs. Yan a peace. ”

Yan Song mourned when he heard this, "It's not that Song doesn't know the etiquette, it's really that my family is poor, and the house is dilapidated and the courtyard is small, so I can't entertain you." Let's go to the teahouse. ”

Lu Chuan nodded, and everyone came to the teahouse to sit down with the guests, and ordered Dr. Tea to serve tea, and talked about the past.

Lu Chuan spoke, "Brother Wei, Brother Shu Yi and Liang Shu, who I entrusted to you, don't know where he is now? Why didn't he come with you? Oh, old brother, why are you standing, sit quickly, sit quickly." ”

Yan Song's old servant saw Yan Song nodding, and also sat down, sitting next to Wang Shouzhang.

Yan Song explained: "Master Shu Zhai stayed in my house for half a month and left, saying that he was going to find his master, but he didn't know where he was now. ”

Lu Chuan nodded, "Oh, then King Ning, after we separate, only the middle brother can have contact?"

"Yes, Song personally went to King Ning's mansion and talked with King Ning for a long time, I found that this person is smart and virtuous, corporal Lixian, and he is really Mingjun. ”

"That's good, it seems that he is the only candidate to replace Zhu Houzhao. Oh, after we separated, my senior brother and I went to Wuyi Mountain, and met your master Yue Huasheng, and the seniors asked me to bring you something, and this time I came specifically for this. Where are the things...... You let me look for ......"

Saying that, he groped in his arms, and after a long time, he clenched his fist and took it out, "But brother, you reach out and come here." ”

Yan Song didn't know what it was, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw Lu Chuan's wrist flip and clasp his vein!

"Childe...... What does that mean?"

Lu Chuan sneered slightly, "It's a good look, even my senior brother didn't see the flaw." Say, who the hell are you, and what is the purpose of being so close to me?"

Yan Song smiled bitterly, "Childe, who else can I be if I'm not Yan Song?"

"It seems that I won't say anything if I ask you, Yin Huai, go over and take off his fake face for me. ”

Tong Yinhuai used to scratch Yan Song's face for a long time, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but he couldn't remove anything.

"Lord Liuzhai, he ...... No fake faces. ”

Lu Chuan frowned, and Yan Song laughed, "Childe, look, it's a misunderstanding." ”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment, and sneered: "It doesn't mean anything without a fake face, Qiusheng, go over and break this guy's hamstrings, bring it back and let us interrogate it slowly." ”

Jiang Qiusheng divided the crab double sword, stood up, and walked over to Yan Song.

At this moment, the old servant suddenly burst out and reached out to Lu Chuan's throat!

As soon as the old man's butt left his seat, Wang Shouzhang made a move, raised his hand to press the old man's wrist, took off the wind and fire five elements wheel with his backhand, and rushed to the old man's door to slash his head and cover his face.

The old man hurriedly withdrew his hand, jumped back, and withdrew three feet away, which was able to avoid Wang Shouzhang's killing move.

But after such a slow effort, several others came up. Tong Yinhuai lifted the dagger, Jiang Qiusheng took the double sword, Ke Juxian and Yan Jiading were empty-handed, and the four of them surrounded the old man from all sides.

Don't look at the old man's age, old but not old, strong in martial arts, and the fifth little one really can't fight him. Just when the fight was inseparable, Yan Song spoke up, "Brothers, stop it! Brother, don't fight, Liuzhai Master, that's it." ”

He said it from beginning to end, and everyone knew that his name was Shi Song, who lived in Chong'an County, at the foot of Wuyi Mountain, and was robbed up the mountain by Wuyi Palace since he was a child, and worshiped Yue Huasheng, the master of Wuyi Palace, as a teacher to learn martial arts. "I know a little about the traces of the immortals, the clouds are ethereal, Shi Zhengrong", the disciples of Wuyi Palace are all surnamed Shi for men and Yun for women, and this is how Shi Song's name was derived. Later, Yicheng went down the mountain and roamed the rivers and lakes, because of his strong martial arts and lustful life, so he was named Shen Xiang, and he was also a famous swordsman. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, Leng Longling was established, he joined the gang and was sent to be in charge of the capital, and the Songqing Pavilion in the capital was opened by him, and later he left the capital before being taken over by Lu San and Lu Songliang. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Yan Song went to Beijing to catch the exam, passing by Songqing Pavilion, Shi Song was standing on the door, and he saw Yan Song at a glance, and he was quite surprised in his heart, so he quickly invited Yan Song to the store, and when Yan Song cleaned his face, both of them were stunned. Because the two of them look average, it's like looking in a mirror. In the end, Shi Song said, since the two of us look so similar, and we can meet here, it seems that there is a providence in the dark, we might as well become brothers of the opposite sex, I don't know if Mr. is willing? Yan Song was naturally happy, so the two of them kowtowed to the north, worshiped eight times, and formed brothers in life and death. Later, Yan Song won the high list and entered the Hanlin Academy, Shi Song thought, since my brother is in the palace and cannot easily show his face, why don't I take his name to walk the rivers and lakes and do things for Leng Longling? From then on, he studied poetry and books hard, imitated Yan Song's style and handwriting, words and deeds, and "became" himself into Yan Song. What Wang Shouren saw in the capital was actually Shi Song, and Shi Song felt that he had imitated it almost, so he wanted to go out for a walk to see if he could hide it from Yan Song's acquaintances. After verification, he felt that it was okay, so he left the capital and went to Yan Song's hometown of Jiangxi, where he opened a treasure bureau in the name of Yan Song, robbed darts and silver, and walked the rivers and lakes, and was named Hu Yan'er. Originally, he didn't want to meet Lu Chuan, but he was brought out by Xiong Binan, and when he learned that Lu Chuan was going to Danmo Pavilion, he specially prepared more than 100,000 taels of silver, and planned to give it to Lu Chuan, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. I didn't know that Lu Chuan didn't collect cash tickets, so he had to see him, so he appeared and met Lu Chuan in Guixi. As for this time, he was waiting at the entrance of the village, for fear of being recognized by Lu Chuan, but he didn't expect Lu Chuan to see through it.

After listening to him, everyone suddenly realized, Shi Song himself was relieved, but when he looked at Lu Chuan again, his eyebrows stood up, and his face was ugly, and he didn't kill much with a layer of dry frost, "Shi Song, you opened a casino, defrauded the world of money, and harmed the world's swordsmen, who gave you the courage!"

Tong Yinhuai was excited, and hurriedly responded, "Here!"

"What are the sixty-four mountain rules of our Lenglongling, what is the thirty-first one?"

"Brother Yamashita, a hundred lines of livelihood, but not to open a casino brothel. ”

"What about the violators?"

"The head of the owl is on display. ”

"Shi Song, can you hear clearly?"

Shi Song bowed his head and was silent.

"This is the Dharma Field, kill!"

"Lord Liuzhai, Shi Song is the leader of the Jiangxi region of Lenglongling, is it necessary to kill him...... Tell the lord of the village?"

"You mean that Benzhai has no right to kill him?" Lu Chuan said and took out the order of Lenglongling from his arms and raised it above his head, "This is the order of Lenglongling's soldiers, and the order is like the lord of the village coming in person!

Lu Chuan is really angry today, his voice is violent, it is really like a killing god possessed, everyone present is silent, and no one dares to plead.

Tong Yinhuai was carrying a dagger, his brain hurt, kill it, that is the leader of one party, it is a brother on the mountain, don't kill it, Lu Chuan spoke. Article 3 of the prohibition law of Lenglongling Mountain, those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy. In other words, if he doesn't kill Shi Song, his Tong Yinhuai's head will have to move!

At this moment, Lu Chuan only heard a pop behind him, and an old voice shouted: "Liuzhai master leaves people under the knife!" turned his head to look, but saw Shi Song's old servant kneeling on the ground.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"If the villain has something to say, my son-in-law is not wrong! My son-in-law doesn't dare to violate the rules of the mountain even if he borrows the guts, the reason why he does this ......"

As soon as he said this, Shi Song was anxious, "Brother, I Shi Song dare to be bold, I opened a casino without permission and violated the rules of the mountain, and I am convinced that the lord of Liuzhai killed me, so don't quibble for me anymore!"

Obedient and listening, as soon as he heard this, Lu Chuan knew that there was an article in it, stopped Shi Song, and said to the old man: "Old man, just say it, as long as you are reasonable, I will spare Shi Song." ”

The old man kowtowed up and said: "My son-in-law was ordered by the lord of the village, so he pretended to be Yan Song and opened a casino under the pseudonym Hu Yan'er." ”

"Liuzhai master, you don't want to listen to his nonsense, I don't know anything about opening a casino!"

In fact, the more he said this, the more Lu Chuan didn't believe it. Therefore, Lu Chuan ignored him, but asked the old man, "Old man, do you have any evidence for saying this?"

"Yes! The credential is the villain, and the villain is on the spot when the master of the village speaks! If you don't believe it...... The villain will show you his heart!" Saying that, no one was defenseless, only to see him suddenly pounce on Jiang Qiusheng's side, snatch a sword and stab it into his heart.

Everyone present couldn't help but close their eyes and couldn't bear to look at it. Where to find such faithful servants?

But after waiting for a long time and not moving, when I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Chuan standing in front of the old man, holding the sword tightly in his hand, and blood was dripping down from between his fingers.

"You...... What do you mean by that?"

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, shook off the short sword, tore off half of his sleeve and wrapped it around his hand, and said, "I believe it." When I saw you here today, I knew that this was not something you could do behind my brother's back. One million taels of silver is not a small amount, how can my eldest brother not ask about it? Except for my eldest brother and second brother, who would dare to ignore the rules of the mountain and give such an order? But now that the matter has come to this, you have to continue to do it. It's too late to stop now, those swordsmen will doubt you, and Leng Longling will have no place to stand. Get up, old man, don't hate me, Shi Song. ”

"The subordinates don't dare. ”

"Don't say that, the second article of the mountain rules, everyone who enters the Cold Dragon Ridge is a brother. We are brothers, nothing subordinate to us. Let's go, the tea is cold, let's go meet Mr. Yan. ”

At the moment of turning around, everyone felt that Lu Chuan seemed to be a few years older suddenly, and there was a feeling of a lonely lamp facing dusk.

Yan Song was born in the first month of the sixteenth year of Chenghua, ranked third, and had two older sisters. His ancestor Yan Mengheng was a thirteen-year jinshi in Yongle, and the official went to Sichuan to make a political envoy, and he was honest and honest as an official. Great-grandfather Yan Lian, grandfather Yan Ji, and father Yan Huai are all cloth people. Mother Yan Lingxiu, her mother's family is a new metaphor, rich in land, her great-grandfather Yan Dazhang helped the victims, and the imperial court once issued a seal book to show its door. It's a pity that Yan Song came to the world, and the Yan family is no longer a wealthy family, and the Yan family is poor, so they can't afford to pay the honorarium of the teacher. However, Yan Song is very intelligent, and he never forgets it in the book, and he is famous as a prodigy in this ten miles and eight villages. Knowing the county Mo Lizhi heard about it, he was summoned to the county school, and took the ceremony, Yan Song was eight years old this year, and he was a disciple of the doctor of Fenyi County. Two years later, Jiangxi made Ao Shan inspect and test Yan Song, which was very appreciated and replaced. In the eighth year of Hongzhi, Yan Song County completed his studies, and it was the period of the township examination, Yan Huai died of illness suddenly, and he was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination during the Ding worry, so Yan Song walked 200 miles to Qingyuan, and invested money to be cautious. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, he was a jinshi, and the palace tried to award Shu Jishi. During the examination of Shu Jishi, he often crowned the top of the group, and Li Dongyang and Li Ge were called "Xianwei Qicai", and people all took the public auxiliary period.

When these Lu Chuan were in Quanzhou, he instructed Bai Junyu to check it clearly, so he sponsored it in front of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning. This time, in fact, I came to visit Xian.

When he arrived at the gate of Yanfu, Lu Chuan led the crowd to wait at the door, and sent Shi Song to go in. Shi Song and Yan Song are sworn brothers, they are naturally very happy to meet, not long after, Yan Song personally came out to greet each other, Lu Chuan bowed and swept the floor, Shi Song introduced on the side, Yan Song heard that it was Shi Song's boss, and quickly put his hands together, confessing his guilt, and saw other people, Yan Song and Lu Chuan, Wang Shouren joined hands and entered the house. first gave Yan Lian incense, and then went to the hall to worship his mother, and saw Mrs. Yan's family, and then everyone sat down as guests.

Xiong Mulinan served tea to everyone, and Lu Chuan looked around with a coarse porcelain teacup, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. What is the name of a family with four walls, how can it be so poor? Yan Song's family is it. Seeing this, Lu Chuan glared at Shi Song fiercely, and spoke in his heart, You have one hundred taels of silver to save Yang Yiqing, but you can't take out one hundred and ten taels of silver to help this orphan and widow?

When Shi Song saw Lu Chuan's eyes, he couldn't help but shiver, and quickly took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Yan Song. Yan Song looked at the silver ticket, and almost slipped off the chair, obediently, 10,000 taels, he had never seen so much silver since he was born!

Lu Chuan smiled, "Mr. should take it, Lu is a good friend, if you don't have it, or don't give it sincerely, you won't take it out." 10,000 taels of silver is nothing, Mr. is just worried at home, in addition, Huai Cai is not met, otherwise take Mr.'s talent, what is this bit of silver? Lu came in a hurry this time, did not bring gifts, just a small gift, not a respect, and please Mr. smiled. ”

As soon as he said this, Yan Song had no choice but to refuse, and carefully put away the silver ticket, and his tears almost didn't fall. After holding back for a long time, he proposed to kowtow to Lu Chuan Chongbei, and bowed eight times. Everyone present was almost happy when they heard it.

This is not to blame him, he has not walked the rivers and lakes, he does not know the Taoism on the rivers and lakes, and he kowtows to Shi Song, so he thinks that people on the rivers and lakes have to kowtow when they make friends. Take Lu Chuan as an example, what kind of identity is that? The Liuzhai Master of Lenglongling, the disciple of Qinglian Zhenren, the head of Wudang, the junior disciple of the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the apprentice of Zhang Shaotian, the Fishy Wind Great Sword! The Zixiao Silver Moon Sword traveled south and north, killing the dragon hand in a fit of rage and specializing in fighting swordsmen, how many people in the world did not know his name as a little Northern Demon? Look at Yan Song again, and say that you have read a book, and say that you have talent and talent, but now you are not a poor teacher? Ke Juxian has never kowtowed to Lu Chuan, which green onion are you, Yan Song?

Thinking of this, the four children of Leng Longling and Wang Shouzhang looked at Shi Song one after another, and their eyes were like knives. Shi Song's face turned blue and white, and he hurried over to persuade him. As soon as Yan Song said it, he understood, his face turned red as soon as he swooped, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't hide his face and run away.

Not only was Lu Chuan not angry, but he stood up, waved his hand to signal Shi Song to retreat, looked at the brothers and said, "I think the weather is very good today, so it's suitable for worship." But what is the two of them bowing? Juxian, Yinhuai, Qiusheng, Jiading, and Shouzhang, the five of you are also here, and besides, there is another person who is not here, but it has to be counted, and the eight of us are bowing. Senior brother, forget it, you and Mr. Yan are not the same seniority on the side of the scholars, and Shi Song is also counted, you and Mr. Yan have already been married. ”

As soon as the arrangement was made, everyone was happy, and the two Xiong Binan brothers were sent to the county to buy wine and meat, and the seven people put incense on the incense table in the courtyard of the Yan family, offered three animal sacrifices, kowtowed to the north, and made friends for eight worships.

Yan Song is the oldest in terms of age, followed by Tong Yinhuai, and then Li Yunsheng, Ke Juxian, Jiang Qiusheng, Lu Chuan, Yan Jiading, and Wang Shouzhang. Coincidentally, Lu Chuan was still sixth.

After that, it was natural to celebrate, and someone went to the inner room to send a letter to the Yan woman, and the old man was also very happy, and the Yan Mansion was rewarded. Nothing was said all night.
