At this time, it was already dark, and Zhuge Chen sat on a chair in the main hall of a compound rented by the Cuiyue Commercial Bank, watching the crescent moon gradually rise, and it was slowly covered by dark clouds.

Because he had drunk a lot of wine at the engagement banquet on the roof of the heavy snow, Zhuge Chen replaced the wine with tea, although he was not happy, but in order to barely maintain his sobriety, he could only make this decision.

Besides, Bai Yi is not an alcoholic, and it is still possible to not drink for a moment. He is here just to see what kind of means the Ma family, which is powerful in Xiaoyao City, will use.

If it is only aimed at him and Wang Daxue, it is just a simple grudge, and it does not involve endless death. But if you do it to the mortals of the Pure Moon Firm, it will be a big deal. This Ma family, there is no need to exist. When it comes to killing them all, Zhuge Chen is very good at it.

It's just that they waited until the sky was slightly bright, and the Ma family still didn't move. In the end, Zhuge Chen, who was really tired, glanced at the teapot at the bottom and went back to sleep.

It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, it was originally a good weather, but in an instant, a downpour fell in the small Xiaoyao City. The sound of the bean-sized raindrops hitting the bricks and tiles, coupled with the thunder, made Zhuge Chen turn around and couldn't sleep. In the end, he simply laid the sword array of Xiaolou Tiandi in the house, and then regained his peace and slowly fell asleep.

As for the people who went out in the city, they were drenched with a soup chicken, and they hurriedly went to find the eaves to shelter from the rain while scolding. In Zhuge Chen's eyes, the Mid-Autumn Festival rain is as expensive as oil, but for those of them who are running around all day long for their livelihood, the rain will only affect their business. When I returned home and looked at the child waiting to be fed, I felt sad and couldn't sleep. All kinds of troubles converge in the heart, and the wine in the throat is not interesting.

Although, at the end of the day, they haven't tasted good wine either.

In front of Ma's house, many people would rather get drenched than hide under the eaves to avoid the rain. There are lessons from the past, and they are afraid that they will be severely beaten by evil slaves because of this.

There was once a scholar who worked extremely hard despite his family being surrounded by walls, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he didn't hear anything outside the window.

The imperial examination system of Dashang is very good, appointing people on the basis of merit, as long as there is real talent and real learning, there will definitely be a position to give full play to their talents. Although the officialdom can't rely on talent and smooth sailing, it is undoubtedly much cleaner than the same stream in the Yunmeng court.

The scholar also had the ambition to revitalize the family, and he was also modest, and he was never arrogant, and the people who knew him well had a surprisingly good opinion of him. The only bad thing is that there is weakness, but if you think about it, it's not a good thing not to compete for the sake of the moment.

Scholars have always believed in reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, keeping knowledge in mind and implementing it in their hands, which is truly out of the mud without staining. At a young age, he won the opportunity to enter the capital in one fell swoop, but after saying goodbye to the people in the city who knew him well, the rain fell sharply.

The scholar who had nowhere to shelter from the rain had to hide under the eaves of the Ma family, who expected that a Ma Mansion attendant would run back to the Ma family in a hurry. One of them didn't pay attention, and knocked the reader to the ground and fell into muddy water.

The scholar, who knew that the Ma family was domineering, stood up and apologized first, but he still didn't miss a scolding. The other party even

The combination of fists and kicks left patches of bruises on the reader's face.

This matter has developed to this point, which should have ended here, and a bad breath in his heart came out of nowhere, and continued to be his Mafu minion. The other didn't mind the ubiquitous beatings from childhood to adulthood, leaving Little Escape City, taking office, and being his own Qingtian master.

But when evil thoughts arise in the heart, there is no end.

When the Mafu attendant saw the appearance of the scholar clearly, he actually punched again, right in the opposite direction. At the same time, he drew his saber from his waist and cut a deep wound in the scholar's chest.

The blood dripped and pooled in the rain, and in an instant it lost its color. And the reader grabbed forward weakly, his eyes darkened, and he fainted to death. The infinite hope for the future has also been cut off, and life is gone, so how can there be anything else?

As for the Mafu attendants?

Hehe sneered, shook the drops of water from his hair, and walked into the Mafu compound.

In fact, his experience is similar to that of a scholar, his parents died when he was young, and he was pulled up by his grandmother next generation. When he saw much of the evil in the world, he fell into it. The most important thing he could not see in his life was the goodness of others. Especially those people who are in a similar situation to themselves may one day be above him.

Is it pathetic? Damn it?

It seems like they should all be.

is just the death of a scholar who should have become a loud scholar in the court of the Great Shang Dynasty, and in the end he was only exchanged for a hundred taels of silver as compensation. And the murderer, who was an attendant of the Ma Mansion, is still at large.

As he himself said, Lao Tzu is a neighbor next to Ma Dagongzi, can he die?!

It is reasonable to say that the people dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Therefore, these rain-drenched people can only continue to be drenched in the rain, and there are rain-sheltering eaves not far away, but compared with life, which is more important?

The Ma family is here, and the people of Xiaoyao City only have bitter words.

At the end of the street, there was a man in Tsing Yi walking with a veil on his face, making it impossible to distinguish between male and female. But looking at the body shape, it should be a weak young man. Although he did not hold an umbrella, the heavy rain could not stain his green clothes. If you look closely, you can see that the raindrops are flowing backwards into the sky before they touch him, like an upside-down waterfall.

Tsing Yi walked under the eaves and stretched out his hand to take a handful of rain food. You are wandering, and you don't care about the frightened eyes of the people.

A well-wisher pinched his throat and reminded: "Hurry up, you don't want to die." When those evil slaves of the Ma family come out, they won't have to kill you?"

But Tsing Yi just smiled gently, scratched his head shyly and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but it's okay." ”

He walked up the steps and knocked on the door of the Ma Mansion, and after a while, a steward opened the door, bowed down and said respectfully: "You are finally here, the master is waiting for you in the middle hall!"

Tsing Yi replied politely: "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

The steward hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where are you talking about this, this is what I should do." Please, don't be so polite, the old slave can't afford it!"

I saw Tsing Yi smiling, took the oil-paper umbrella handed by the steward, lifted the hem of Tsing Yi and walked into the rain.

Outside of Mafu, there are people

scolded in a low voice: "Okay, it turned out to be a raccoon dog!"

I don't know if Tsing Yi really heard it or what, but he glanced back, but didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the middle hall.

The head of the Ma family, who looked old, sat on the chair and frowned. In the past day, he had thought of countless countermeasures, but the realm of the two Heavenly Mandate cultivators on the other side was there, and no matter how many people there were, it was just a joke.

After thinking about it, the only way to do it was to send someone to the mountains to ask for Tsing Yi. Many years ago, he was already at the peak of the Mandate of Heaven, and now, even if it is not the bamboo basket that draws water or the Zhen Dao that can stand at the peak of the world, the realm should be deeper!

Tsing Yi put the oil-paper umbrella against the door, sat on a chair and asked, "Tell me, what is the head of the family looking for me again?"

The head of the Ma family did not tell the whole story first, but talked about his past: "Do you remember the meeting between the two of us?"

Tsing Yi nodded and said, "Of course I remember, it's the same rainy day as today." It's here, but it wasn't called Mafu at the time. At that time, I was hit hard by the curse of God because of the breakthrough, and I turned into the appearance of a green snake again, if it weren't for you, the head of the family, I would have become a snake soup on the table. ”

The head of the Ma family rubbed his hands and did not answer.

"But I've helped the Ma family do so many things over the years, so I should be able to repay this kindness. How many times have I killed people and crossed goods, and I myself am in danger......" Tsing Yi muttered expressionlessly, and everyone who is familiar with him knows. If he can make his always good-natured man do so, it is time to be angry.

The head of the Ma family, who had an excellent grasp of proportion, hurriedly said: "This is the last time, the Ma family is in a deep crisis, it is not a last resort, I also know that I can't beg you anymore." But after thinking about it, there is only one way to live, and I have no choice but to do it! I am also old, and I have few years to live. When my unsuccessful son succeeds to the position of head of the family, our incense will be cut off. Just put it on to help me once, one last time. ”

Tsing Yi stood up, his brow furrowed, and he kept staring at the waterhole outside the middle hall. Raindrops fall on it, creating ripples. It took him a long time before he spoke: "Say, who will kill this time." ”

"I've inquired about it, there's a team of men in a private house in the south of the city, you just have to kill them, and that's it. When the time comes, we will not get along with each other, I just hope that when I am dying, you can come to see me. The head of the Ma family said slowly: "It's just that this time is different from the past, the other party has two heavenly mandates, you must be careful!"

Tsing Yi bent down to pick up the oil-paper umbrella and went straight out, leaving only the voice echoing in the middle hall: "The two of you are destined to do so, what do you need to pay attention to? Besides, you don't have to die in front of me, for us big shape-shifting demons, the threshold of heaven for drawing water with a bamboo basket, anyone has to swallow their anger and lower their eyebrows!"

......

Zhuge Chen woke up in his sleep, looked around, and waved his hand to disperse the Xiaolou Heaven and Earth Sword Array.

He shouted Wang Daxue twice, but there was no answer, so he thought that the other party had gone to the city to have fun again.

say

It's strange to come, Wang Daxue, who is also a second ancestor, likes to visit the Qinglou, but he has never had skin to skin with those dusty women, and he has always been watching from afar, and he can be satisfied with a few words.

Zhuge Chen laughed and said that he gave birth to a saint's heart, and his relatives were not close to him, which was commendable.

Regarding the ridicule of his brother Chen, Wang Daxue regarded it as a deaf ear. Listen to it and forget it, anyway, don't bother.

But it stands to reason that it is approaching dusk, no matter how heavy Wang Daxue's heart is, it is time to come back for dinner. With his stingy nature, he doesn't have to think about spending money to eat in his life.

Zhuge Chen frowned and shook his head suspiciously, and at this moment, he suddenly found that the treetops outside the window were still.

got up and got out of bed, and said in a deep voice: "Who is sneaky, why don't you come out and see it?"
