Chapter 289: Judging the Situation
An old man in a Taoist robe beside Zhao Gongzi was of medium stature, with crane hair and a childish face, and he looked good.
I saw him look at the three people in front of him, and then look at a few companions who came with him, and then asked, "Since you appeared, these three people have always stayed here?"
Zhao Gongzi smiled and said, "Yes, I guess I'm scared stupid." Or it's a martial artist who has never seen the world, and thinks he is invincible in the world, so he doesn't take us seriously. It's ridiculous and pitiful. ”
Jin Daochang ignored Zhao Gongzi, his eyes were fixed on the three people in front of him, but he asked, "Do you see anything?"
One of the people who came with him said, "I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but there is no qi stirring around these three people. Either it is a mortal body, or it is so much more than me, and I can't look at it. ”
Zhao Gongzi just wanted to laugh when he heard this, is there any difference between saying this and not saying it? But he also knew that these people were definitely not something he could provoke, so he lowered his eyebrows and stayed aside at the moment, all as if he was listening to a joke.
Jin Daochang's surname is Jin, his name is Jin Feihong, and he has opened a loose cultivation of an innate acupoint. Because of the relationship between the lotus root and the broken thread, he was able to garrison a Taoist temple on the periphery of Tianyun Mountain.
Although it is thousands of miles away from Tianyun Mountain, it has a strong aura, which is almost comparable to ordinary cultivation places.
Blessed with unique resources, coupled with the fact that Jin Dao Chang's mind is active, and sometimes he earns some windfalls in exchange for some pills for cultivation, so that he is now in the late stage of the Jindan realm, and he wants to further increase his life span for a thousand years, but it is far away, and it is almost impossible.
Seeing that most of Shouyuan had passed, Jin Daochang was even more indifferent. I feel that it is a blessing that I can live for more than 200 years with my qualifications. For the rest of his life, he should know that he has done his best. Make friends, win friends like clouds, and be a good thing in life.
This Zhao family is one of the sources of Jin Daochang's windfall. The distance between the two families is not far away, and the Zhao family is generous, and under the mediation of someone with a heart, Jin Daochang has become the worship of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family's requirements are also simple, they don't ask Jin Daochang to stay for a long time, as long as they help the Zhao family when they encounter extremely difficult things to solve.
On this day, Jin Daochang was drinking tea and discussing Taoism with a few friends in the Taoist temple, and suddenly received a summons from the Zhao family, and even if he came with a few friends, he relieved the immediate worries of the Zhao family.
But Jin Daochang looked at the main owner in front of him, although he was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, but the man was handsome and extraordinary, and the woman was naturally beautiful, and he looked extraordinary, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Jin Daochang had the privilege of going to Tianyun Mountain several times, where he had seen many people who had cultivated to the heavens, and that momentum and demeanor could be compared with the two people in front of him, and it suddenly seemed as if he was a few levels lower. There is no other reason, just a confirmed look.
Jin Daochang has a wealth of experience and knows that no matter how much a person pretends to be on his face, it is often his eyes that expose his heart.
Jin Daochang looked around, only to feel that the eyes of the three people opposite, the woman among them, were naturally as calm as water. And the eyes of the remaining two men were indifference, or the kind of naked and unadorned indifference. It's as if a dozen people on my side are like air.
From this, he was alarmed, and secretly made up his mind that this matter should not be reckless. First of all, I inquired and understood, if the signs were wrong, I immediately withdrew from the situation and was able to protect myself.
It can be seen that among the cultivators in the rivers and lakes, which one is not a wise man? If you want to mix in the wind and waves, or you will cultivate to stand alone in the world and be fearless in everything. Otherwise, you'll be able to call friends and make a wide network. Otherwise, you have to be like Jin Daochang, observing words and colors and understanding people's hearts, so that you can avoid evil and protect yourself.
After Jin Daochang made up his mind, he first stretched out his hand to stop a few people around him who were eager to try.
At the moment, he took a few steps forward, and he didn't care about his white-haired elder, so he did enough etiquette and said, "Poor Dao Jin Feihong, I have seen three. I am a deacon on the periphery of Tianyun Mountain, and I have been summoned by the Zhao family to say that someone has taken it forcibly in the Zhao family. But I've always acted fairly, so I have to ask the three of them a question, so I don't want to be biased. Would you like to ask the three of you to do it?"
These words can be described as low, and the few people who came with Jin Daochang were stunned at first, and then they all leaned close behind Jin Daochang, faintly distinguishing themselves from Zhao Gongzi and others, and opened a distance.
They are all cultivators, so how can they not hear the meaning of Jin Daochang's words? Moreover, they all come with him to support their personal scenes, so naturally they all look forward to Jin Daochang's horse. 315 Chinese Network
After Jin Daochang finished speaking, the scene was quiet for a long time.
The three people on the opposite side, one wearing a hat, leaned against a big tree, as if looking at the scenery in the sky. A expressionless face, as if he couldn't be interested in anything, thinking about his thoughts.
Only the woman, seeing that the atmosphere was slightly awkward, glanced at the two men a few times, then stood up with a smile, looked at Jin Daochang and the others and said, "Jin Daochang, you can ask me if there is anything." The two of them, the original plan has failed, and they are depressed, and they have no time to deal with you. ”
Jin Daochang said "Oh!" in his heart, and he was sure that he was afraid that he would be kicked on the iron plate today, and if he didn't handle it properly, he was afraid that his life would be lost here. Just because when the woman finished speaking, the man next to him inadvertently glanced at this, and that look was full of indifference, and it was the kind of shocking glance that ignored everything.
At the moment, he was only more cautious, but he smiled very kindly on his face, and said: "Okay, it's just a little thing, this girl, you just need to tell me if what the Zhao family said is true." ”
Zhang Wanqiu sneered at the son of the Zhao family, and then said: "He, the Zhao family, together with several big families in the town, took advantage of the year of the insect plague to raise the price of grain. The rice that was originally ten yuan is now sold for 100 yuan. These two strong men acted chivalrous and righteous, and when they saw that the people had no rice to eat, they taught them a lesson, and opened a warehouse to release grain to help us and other people tide over the difficulties. ”
The son of the Zhao family was no longer silent when he heard the words, and before he came, he listened to the words of the old lady Zhao and must listen to the orders of the golden daochang, and immediately reprimanded loudly: "A woman with water-based poplars, there is no place for you to speak here!"
After speaking, he didn't forget to hug his fist to Jin Daochang, and then said loudly: "The rice is the rice collected by my Zhao family, and I don't need capital to store it for two years? Besides, my Zhao family doesn't sell rice as much as you want, who dares to care? If it's too expensive, then don't come to buy it if you starve to death, and my Zhao family didn't force you, right?"
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and took out an account book in his arms, opened it and handed it to Jin Daochang, and said: "Dao Chief, please look, there is an account of my family's grain in and out, a total of 20,000 tons of grain, this is good, all of them are cheaper than those untouchables." My Zhao family has suffered huge losses, and I ask the Taoist chief to make decisions for us. ”
Jin Daochang took the account book, read a few pages casually, and couldn't help but scold the son of the Zhao family in his heart for being a straw bag. Not to mention that the account book clearly says that the rice collected is five wen and one pound, and you still can't understand the current situation? There is a way that the master of art is bold, and those two men are as stable as Mount Tai there, can't you see the problem?
Jin Daochang had the intention to fool this matter, and as for whether he could look away and try it, he didn't think about it at all.
What are you kidding, if you try it, he Jin Feihong can get some more silver taels at most, but he is still suspected of helping to abuse. If one of the temptations is not appropriate, wouldn't it be easy for him to throw his old life here? And seeing that the three of them have a fearless appearance, maybe there is a backer behind him.
Jin Daochang flipped through the account book, pretending to be angry, and said in a deep voice: "I am honored by your Zhao family, in order to prevent a small night, not to rely on your Zhao family for being rich and unkind! Zhao Gongzi, you go back and report to Mrs. Zhao, but I, Jin Feihong, can't help with this matter. ”
Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, and pointed at Jin Daochang with a trembling finger and said: "You have to pay my Zhao family's five hundred taels of silver filial piety every year, but you don't do anything when something happens, I'm afraid it's you who is black-hearted!"
Jin Daochang was worried that there was no step down, but when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and his face was full of anger, and he shouted: "Shut up! It is a year of continuous disasters, and your Zhao family does not do good deeds, but now it is still strange goods to live in and earn ill-gotten gains! I am really blind to be with you! Zhao Gongzi, when I look back, I will return the silver and two hands of your family in the past few years, and I, Jin, will no longer have anything to do with your Zhao family." ”
Zhao Gongzi was furious and wanted to make a big fuss, but one of the attendants behind him saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect him behind him, and said with a smile to Jin Daochang: "Immortal Chang is angry, my son-in-law is still young, please forgive me if you offend." Immortal Chief, let's go back and explain this matter to the old lady and take our leave. ”
After speaking, he took Zhao Gongzi's arm and took a few brothers to stay away from this place of right and wrong, but he overestimated his son-in-law's IQ.
I saw that Zhao Gongzi struggled to break free from the attendant's hand, and roared with anger on his face: "Let go of me! What is the use of my Zhao family raising you in this group? Why are you still stunned, why don't you quickly take down those three dog men and women for me! If others don't help, then let's do it ourselves!"
The guards who said something were dumbfounded, and in an instant, the leader of the attendants whispered in Zhao Gongzi's ear: "Shaodong, we can't beat them in the town, and then we called Jin Daochang?
Zhao Gongzi was even more furious, pointing at the attendants and shouting: "Then you will die! Be my Zhao family's dog, don't go up when you see bones, but don't dare to bite people when you see them!"
Several attendants were extremely embarrassed when they heard this, but the head of the attendant was ruthless, and immediately planned to forcibly take Zhao Gongzi back, and after making a look at a few brothers, they wanted to step forward and capture Zhao Gongzi back.
At this time, I saw that the man who had always raised his eyes to the sky finally spoke: "You guys have good intentions, but if you go back like this, can your lives be saved?"
