Chapter 183: Trading
Before coming to Feng's mansion, the five of them saw the white cloth hanging at the gate, and immediately understood what was going on, Feng Ning was already dead, his great-grandson Feng Lian had just passed away a few days ago, and this time there was another funeral, and the Feng family could be described as a disaster.
"Several, please inside. Han Ying stood at the door, smiling sadly and calling everyone in.
Li Zhengdao was in front, and the five of them entered the Feng Mansion together, and when they arrived in the hall, a big red lacquered wooden coffin was already placed there, without a coffin lid, and a group of teenagers below were burning paper money.
The deceased is the greatest, even if Feng Ning did something to murder everyone, in front of the family, a few people can't ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, Li Zhengdao bowed to the front, and a young man immediately kowtowed in return, this is the basic rule of the world, the descendants of the deceased must kowtow in return in the face of the people who pay tribute, no matter what identity the person is, what status, how to salute, they are the younger generations, only kowtow.
There is a folk proverb: As soon as the filial son enters the door, he kowtows and scares people to death, which is the case.
These are all secular etiquette, and other people don't care about it, but they shouldn't have seen it before, and after a few more glances at it, it makes him even more unexpected, this custom has become a secret murder method in the future, and it really kills people.
But those are all things that happened later, and I shouldn't be interested in what I'm looking for, just curious.
"A few of you, please. Han Ying greeted.
Entering the side room, a maid served tea, and Han Ying smiled and beckoned everyone to use tea.
"I see that there are a lot fewer people in this house?" Ying Wuxin took a sip of tea and said.
Han Ying sighed heavily, "The Feng family has suffered this great change and has declined, and there will not be so many people in the future, so before the master left, he dismissed some of the people, and the rest of them will go their separate ways when the master's funeral is completed, and from now on, there will be no Feng family in Taoxi Town." β
"Then where are the people of the Feng family going?" asked Li Zhengdao.
"Some of them went back to their hometowns, and some of them went to the royal capital to find Xiangye. β
Sun Xiaoman sneered: "It's a quick hand and foot, so he slipped away so quickly." β
Han Ying's face was embarrassed for a while, and with apologies on his face, he lowered his head again.
"Don't talk nonsense, our intentions, I think Steward Han should already be very clear, let's talk about it, why do you want to deceive us?" Li Zhengdao said with a sinking face.
This matter is not only related to him and his two junior sisters, but also Ying Wuxin and Wang Banxian, and it is also related to the reputation of Zhengyang Daomen.
Han Ying frowned vigorously, and after a moment, he stretched out and sighed, "It's the old man who wants to live forever." β
"Ask for whom?" should not be heartless.
"Spirit monkey. β
Several people glanced at each other and exchanged meanings, and Li Zhengdao asked again: "How to ask the spirit monkey for immortality?"
Han Ying said: "The way of the spirit monkey cultivation is a little peculiar, if it is a coincidence, the play can impress it, the spirit monkey will fulfill a wish, but the arrangement of the play must be real enough, the more difficult it is to find flaws, the higher the authenticity, the more it can impress the spirit monkey, so you appear in Taoxi, you will be favored by the master, because you are a Taoist, if you can't find out that you are acting, then the spirit monkey will most likely recognize it." β
"So Feng Ning is using us as pawns. Sun Xiaoman said angrily: "This matter is not over, even if Feng Ning dies, these debts must be paid by the people of their Feng family, our Sun family is like this, and the same is true of Zhengyang Daomen." β
Han Ying hung his head and said nothing.
Li Zhengdao stretched out his hand, comforted Sun Xiaoman, and said: "Take the lives of the five of us to act, and kill us in the end, Feng Ning is so ambitious, I just don't know what Your Majesty's attitude will be when he knows about this matter?"
"The lord said, Zhengyang Daomen will not want to see that scene, and it is not the master's intention to kill you, the master just wants to act in a play, let the spirit monkey recognize, realize one of his wishes, there is no need to kill you, offend Zhengyang Daomen, those are all accidents. Han Ying smiled treacherously.
The faces of the five people present were all dark, which made it clear that they did not admit their accounts.
Ying Wuxin said: "Feng Ning is very calculating, knowing that the Zhengyang Dao Sect wants to save face, he will definitely not publicize this matter, otherwise the matter of the chief disciple being used as a pawn will seriously smear the reputation of the Zhengyang Dao Sect, and it is really cunning!"
Han Ying saluted respectfully and said with a smile: "The master has nothing else, he has lived long enough, and he is naturally thoughtful in doing things." β
Li Zhengdao said proudly: "Then did he ever think that because of his arrangement, his plan, and his deception, he used me as a pawn, which put me in danger, thus stimulating the instinct to survive, and breaking through from a Taoist in one fell swoop to become a Taoist sect?"
"Dao Sect?" Han Ying's face changed drastically, and he looked at Li Zhengdao's rather young face in surprise, he was only sixteen years old, and he became a Dao Sect, this is simply a genius, there has not been such a Tianjiao in the cultivation world for many years.
"Yes, thanks to Master Feng's arrangement, I, Li Zhengdao, am fortunate to advance to the Dao Sect at the age of sixteen, becoming the youngest Dao Sect in the world. Li Zhengdao smiled brightly.
Han Ying's face was ugly for a while, if Li Zhengdao became a Dao Sect, then things would be completely different, Feng Ning's use would not only not discredit the Zhengyang Dao Sect, but would instead become a laughing stock for their Feng family when the Zhengyang Dao Sect became famous all over the world.
Because he failed, it can be said that he lost his wife and his soldiers, but instead made Li Zhengdao's cultivation a great advance and his reputation was shocked.
Ying Wuxin said proudly: "With the dazzling achievement of Brother Dao becoming the youngest Dao Sect in the past thousand years, your master's layout will only become the laughing stock of the world, not only that, but there will be more people who will take advantage of this to attack the Feng family, when Feng Ning died, he definitely didn't expect that his Feng family would become a water dog, and he couldn't escape if he died." β
Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen let out a long breath and smiled with satisfaction, now that most of the resentment in their hearts has dissipated, next, it will be up to the Feng family to suffer.
"The master is no longer here, everyoneβ" Han Ying pleaded in a pleading tone.
"Jokes, begging for mercy, it's not Feng Ning's character, because he knows very well in his heart that no one will pity the Feng family and let the Feng family go because he is dead, on the contrary, more people will choose revenge, this is the cruel reality. Sun Xiaoman said disdainfully.
Han Ying sighed, his face was full of sorrow, and he didn't say anything more.
Li Zhengdao smiled and said: "This time, I will tell the sect later, I believe that the head of the sect will definitely seek justice for us, this matter is decided for the time being, let's talk about the person who assassinated us." β
Han Ying said: "The person who assassinated you is Mrs. Gu, she is the wife of Feng Daozun back then-"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the five people changed, even Wang Banxian was stunned, he still knew how much weight the name of Daozun was, and now when he heard that the person behind the scenes was Daozun's wife, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Feng Dao Zun, wasn't he already killed by the Three Great Dao Gates back then?" Li Zhengdao said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, but Mrs. Gu is still alive, and she has the treasure of heaven and earth refined by Feng Dao Zun back then, because she has a grudge against the Three Great Dao Sects, but she has no strength to avenge her husband, because she has hit you with the idea, she knows that the master wants to ask for immortality, so she gave the master an elixir and renewed the longevity of a Jiazi, in exchange, the master helped her establish a dojo in Sanliuzhuang. Han Ying said, his face became more and more sad.
Later, Mrs. Gu knew that the master wanted the spirit monkey's wish, so she proposed to cooperate again, this time she wanted to arrange the second dojo and collect some things, and she could help the master to use the heaven and earth left by the Feng Dao Venerable to arrange the stage, so there were things such as the Red Maple Forest and the Red Mansion Town that you went to. β
"But the lord didn't know Mrs. Gu's identity, until the news came from the spirit monkey, he didn't know that he had been deceived, the lord wanted to save it, but it was not Mrs. Gu's opponent at all, many of his subordinates were injured, and he couldn't save you. β
Li Zhengdao glanced at Steward Han coldly, and said, "Save us, it's really a joke, at that time, Feng Ning was thinking about how to kill people and kill people, so he sent someone to find Mrs. Gu first, instead of entering a world to find us, or inviting the spirit monkey and his own Dao Sect to come to support, I am not wrong about this." β
Han Ying's face was ugly for a while, and he lowered his head again and remained silent.
Ying Wuxin got up, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you are also a housekeeper, it is not interesting for you to be embarrassed, when you come to the royal capital and see Prime Minister Feng in the future, we will definitely have a good chat with him at that time, and calculate today's account." β
Han Ying lowered his head again, and his waist was bent more respectfully.
Li Zhengdao got up and said, "Since everything has been clarified, then we will leave here, and we will ask Feng Xiang for an explanation in the future." β
Sun Xiaoman snorted and said, "Don't think that Feng Ning wants to make a big deal when he dies, this time, we must make the Feng family pay a painful price, otherwise in the future, no one in the world will look down on our Zhengyang Daomen, as well as our Sun family." β
"Senior sister, let's go. Bai Miaozhen stepped forward and pulled Sun Xiaoman away, Wang Banxian looked around, wanting to get something to take away as compensation, but seeing that the others had already left, he had to follow quickly.
It took Han Ying a long time to straighten up with difficulty, pounding his sore old waist, looking at the backs of the five people leaving, his eyes gradually cold.
"Did you hear that?"
A white-haired old man walked over to the door, and said lightly: "Naturally, I heard it." β
"They're going to deal with Xiangye. β
"Just come, Xiangye has been in the court for so many years, when have you ever been afraid of your opponent!" the old man said proudly.
Han Ying smiled and said, "That's right, Xiangye can even compete with the great masters, and he will be afraid of a few hairy boys, let them make trouble this time, and see what benefits they can get in the end?"
The white-haired old man said: "Benefits, Li Zhengdao and Zhengyang Daomen have gained enough benefits, and that kid named Ying Wuxin, as soon as the words come out, he will also get huge benefits in the future, this time only Master Feng, he didn't get any benefits, he lost his life in vain, and he provoked so many enemies." β
"Well, who would have thought that would be the case?"
"After the funeral, go back to your hometown early, be optimistic about Feng Lian, don't let him be known by outsiders, otherwise there will be trouble. The old man said.
"Understood, what about you?" asked Han Ying.
"These boys don't open their eyes, and they want to find trouble with Xiangye, so I have to go to the royal capital one step ahead of schedule and make some preparations. The old man's eyes flickered with a cold light.
"Got it, I hope you have a good trip. β
