The sun was high and the weather was hot, but the atmosphere in the Zheng family's living room instantly froze like an ice cave.

The maid who poured the tea, and the little maid who was waiting outside the door, were all frightened, until Zheng Qin waved his hand, and then he got out of the house as if he had been amnesty.

Tian Huan didn't expect Zheng Qin to be so direct.

This was his second accident today.

Originally, in his plan, after coming to the door, it would be Zheng Tao who would receive him, and the two sides were polite for a while, and then he said that the Yuan family wanted to ask the teacher for the crime, Zheng Tao pretended to be angry in his heart, and he provoked a few more words, and by the way, he threw out a bait that had been prepared for a long time to see the effect.

After all, the interests hidden under the face are the most realistic things.

All this was cut off under Zheng Qin's straightforward inquiry.

However, there is always no shortage of conspirators.

"Uncle Shi, I'm here to ask you for help. ”

Looking at Tian Huan's sneer, Zheng Qin raised his eyebrows, which can be regarded as a reply.

Tian Huan pretended not to care, patted his thigh, and lamented: "I thought I could get some benefits, but who knew that I got a hot potato!"

Zheng Qin is indifferent, and will give you one more sentence, if you can't get to the point in three sentences, you can get out.

Tian Huan cried with a sad face, "The head of the fire gate has come to my house!"

Zheng Qin made a straight face, "It's my business." ”

"Uncle Shi, I don't mean anything else, the heads of the family are here in person, which shows the sincerity. Why don't you let Xiao Chao and Xiao Xi meet with that master, whether they succeed or not, how about forming a good fate?"

Zheng Qin stared at Tian Huan's face and looked at it, as if he wanted to see through the depths of his heart.

Mr. Shi behind him seemed to be able to feel the nervousness of his own family owner.

Zheng Qin suddenly smiled, "I have nothing to do, so how about inviting that head to have a meal the day after tomorrow?"

Tian Huan was overjoyed, "Thank you Uncle Shi for your understanding." ”

Zheng Qin waved his hand and was about to serve tea to the guests.

Tian Huan suddenly approached, lowered his voice and said, "To show gratitude, tell Uncle Shi a message." The patriarch behind the Yuan family has been confirmed to have been expelled from the Hall of Elders. ”

Then in Zheng Qin's shock, he turned around and walked out.

Zheng Qin held the teacup and silently watched the two figures leave far away, with mixed feelings.

Out of Zheng's house, the carriage was already waiting outside the door.

"Master, go home or not?"

The coachman who knows his duty will only ask at this time.

Tian Huan dropped a sentence, "Go to Yuan's house." So he got into the carriage.

Sitting down in the car, Mr. Shi was slightly puzzled, "Master, go to Yuan's house again at this moment?"

The tacit conspirators are naturally tacit.

Tian Huan smiled, "Naturally, go and sprinkle some bait on Yuan Hong, otherwise how can he take the bait." ”

Mr. Shi nodded, and learned another lesson, this is Yangmou.

At the door of Yuan's house, Tian Huan stood quietly at the door, beads of sweat like beans, dripping down little by little, and even Mr. Shi behind him had irrepressible anger on his face, and he still looked calm.

A few small servants at the door of Yuan's house were pointing there with a smile, looking at the head of the Tian family, who also belonged to one of the four surnames, there was no respect in his expression, only undisguised ridicule and contempt.

Their arrogance can also be explained by the fact that for many years, this city has nominally had a county magistrate, but the people only know that there are four surnames, and most of these four surnames only recognize the surname Yuan.

This is also the reality of most small towns, the officials are the ones who really contact the people, the high commander, it is naturally good to be mellow and practiced, if you want to do something, and the means are not high enough, it is actually a good result to be elevated.

And most of these officials in Hengyang City belong to the Yuan family.

In general, in a word, the remaining three families together may not be able to compete with him and the Yuan family.

The Yuan family, in this city, is always above the top.

Also eligible for eye above the top.

Finally, a steward slowly paced out, walked slowly in front of Tian Huan, and gave his hand perfunctorily, "Master Tian." ”

Tian Huan has an official position in the city, but neither of them seems to think that there is anything wrong with this title.

This is the distinction between family and country in Hengyang City.

Tian Huan smiled with him, "Steward Chen, is Master Yuan at home?"

The steward stretched out his hand to the side and took it, "Master Tian has something important at the moment, Master Tian will follow me to the side hall to sit for a while." ”

Tian Huan looked at the steward's arm and pointed, there was a side door there.

He looked at the steward's face, as if he was a little unsure, but the steward's look told him that he meant it.

Tian Huan stood steadily, and suddenly chuckled, "Steward Chen, the threshold of this Yuan Mansion is high, it is true, no matter how long you leave me Tian outside the door, Tian will not care." But there are always some bottom lines that can't be touched, and after they are touched, the nature will change, and then my Tian will become a laughing stock, and your Yuan family will also be angry. ”

The steward's expression changed as if he had just remembered at this moment that the humble middle-aged man in front of him was also a head of the family surnamed Hengyang.

Or, at this moment, he really regarded this person as the head of a surname with equal status with the Yuan family.

He saluted respectfully, "Master Tian, please sit in the foyer for a while, and I will return to the head of the family immediately." ”

When Tian Huan was just sitting down in the foyer, as soon as the hot tea brought by the little servant was placed in his hand, Yuan Hong's figure appeared in the foyer.

Tian Huan also regained his humble look.

When he came to the main hall and sat down, Yuan Hong was as heroic and free as ever, "Brother Tian is rare to come to the door, but there is something important?"

Tian Huan's hands were clenched into fists between his legs, he was very restrained, gritted his teeth and spoke, "I'm here to ask Brother Yuan for help." ”

Yuan Hong looked at the humble and obedient person in front of him, and the little good feeling he had just raised because of his words at the door disappeared in an instant, and he even felt a little ashamed of being in the company of this person.

He said indifferently, "I have nothing to help you." ”

Tian Huan moved forward, leaving only half of his butt on the chair, telling about the domineering of leaving the fire gate, forcing his family to hand over the Zheng family brothers and sisters, and he went to the Zheng family and ate the closed-door soup.

Yuan Hong sneered even more, "You are lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot." ”

Tian Huan smiled bitterly: "Who said it wasn't." But now there is no way, so I have to ask Brother Yuan to come forward, if it is done at this time, my Tian family will definitely take Brother Yuan in the future, and the Yuan family will be the leader!"

Yuan Hong was unmoved, "Even if what you say is true, in order to get your Tian family, what is the point of me offending a Zheng family? Not to mention that the strength of the Zheng family seems to be higher than yours." ”

Tian Huan looked at Yuan Hong, wanting to read something from his majestic face, but failed, so a trace of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes, "What if you add the Li family?"

Yuan Hong was finally moved, "The Li family?"

I can't help but be excited, just now, he got the flying pigeon to pass the book, and his biggest reliance is completely gone.

Yuan Di, the third elder of the Yuan family, was finally stripped of his elder's hat after losing power for nearly a year.

Those opponents who have coveted their own territory for a long time in the past year and have been bitterly suppressed will come to the surface, show their claws, and pounce on their fat piece.

Just now, I was really talking with my own worship in the secret room, and I understood the severity of the situation more and more.

If what Tian Huan said is true, the Li family is willing to fall to themselves together, and simply take this opportunity to destroy the Zheng family directly, wouldn't it be able to build this Hengyang City into a monolith, and then go to the family to slowly figure it out, maybe you can escape.

Tian Huan looked at Yuan Hong's expression eagerly, and hid the victory in his heart very well.

A person who is facing a difficult situation will not let go of any possible chips and capital.

Sure enough, Yuan Hong tried his best to hide his excitement, and asked calmly: "Li family, why can you be the master of the Li family?"

Tian Huan's appearance was still humble, "If I can be the master of the Li family, what else will Brother Yuan worry about about this matter?"

Yuan Hong didn't think about it, "Naturally, it's the mysterious person who looms behind the Zheng family." ”

Tian Huan sighed, patted his knees, and sat up a little, "That's why I can be the master of the Li family." The man had a bad relationship with the truth-seeking. ”

Yunluo strolls on a hill.

In this land, there is a very famous mountain, the mountain is like a weighing instrument, so it is called Hengshan, and there is a city in the south of the mountain, so it is called Hengyang.

But now Yunluo, instead of going to the Hengshan where it is said that the ancient gods were sealed, there are lush forests and bamboos all the year round, and strange flowers and plants are fragrant at all times, but came to an unknown hill, Shigu Mountain.

It is surrounded by emptiness, and its shape is like a drum.

He came here just to see someone.

Looking at the small thatched house next to the Truth Seeking Temple, the looming figure inside, he smiled and said to himself, "Good luck." ”

When Yunluo approached the thatched house, the owner of the thatched house was already standing at the door to greet him.

Yunluo saluted respectfully, "Ling Xun has seen Li Gongzi. ”

The master smiled gently, "Young Master Ling, please come in and use a cup of tea." ”

Yunluo followed the master into the thatched house, the furnishings were simple, and the most was the book.

At the moment when the owner of the thatched house was making tea, Yunluo smiled and said: "I thought that the mouth of the market was exaggerated, but when I saw it today, I felt that they could be more vivid." ”

The owner of the thatched house was sitting in a precarious position, meticulous in his actions of making tea, and when he handed the tea cup full of clear tea soup to Yunluo, he responded with a smile, "What do you want from me?"

Yunluo nodded, "If someone comes here, Li Gongzi will personally greet him?"

The owner of the thatched house glanced at him angrily, "I'm not here to open an inn tea shop." ”

Yunluo laughed, "Then Li Gongzi is here to study, or to escape, or both?"

The scene was still full of smiles, but the topic was already very deep.

The owner of the thatched house, the eldest son of the Li family in Hengyang, Li Kuan.

A strange person who was nagged in the mouth by the entire Hengyang City, put away the glory and wealth, but went to live next to the truth-seeking view.

Some people speculate that it was instigated by the Li family, and it was deliberately done in order to better establish a good relationship with the truth-seeking concept behind the Li family;

Those who know a little bit about the inside story know that this eldest prince Li used to be a cultivator, and it is estimated that he came to seek the truth and learn the Tao;

As for the deepest insider, perhaps only a few high-level executives with major surnames know.

This Li Gongzi is a cultivator, but he did not worship Taoism, but he didn't know what he was crazy about, and he became obsessed with a little-known small sect, Confucianism.

That sect didn't even have a place to live, and there weren't any famous monks, and they couldn't fight, and they didn't have a good mouth, and they were just some disciples wandering around, muttering about those useless benevolence and righteousness.

I just confused this Li Dagongzi so much that he couldn't let it be controlled at home, so he simply ran to find the truth and squatted in a thatched house next to him.

What's even more strange is that the viewer of the truth-seeking view is still accurate, not only that, but also took the initiative to speak for him and persuaded Li Ji, the head of the Li family, who was determined to tie Li Kuan back.

Li Ji, the helpless head of the Li family, said a cruel sentence before leaving, "I should not have given birth to your son!"

When he returned to Li's house, he was beaten by his wife's pink fist and jade legs, "You didn't give birth to anything, it was born by the old lady! Why don't you say you don't want it, have you asked me? I don't care, my good son can't suffer!"

So, I climbed the mountain in person, persuaded for a long time with snot and tears, and finally reached an agreement after many tug-of-wars, Li Kuan agreed that his mother would help repair the thatched house and make it more comfortable.

Then Li Kuan looked at his mother and waved his hand, and the mason craftsman who had already prepared quickly appeared, and he could only smile bitterly, knowing his son Mo Ruomu.

At this moment, Li Kuan looked at Yunluo intently, "What does Ling Gongzi think of this world?"

Yunluo lowered his head slightly and was silent for a while, "It's not good." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Why not?"

"How to get better?"

"What is good?"

Li Kuan threw out four questions one after another, and as soon as he waved his sleeves, he was about to sit down and discuss.

An old voice sounded, "Li Kuan, this matter is not in a hurry. Ling Gongzi, why don't you take a look?"

Yunluo raised his head, "Old Viewer?"

The old man's voice was a little smiling, "The old man doesn't talk about being old in front of him, and he only praises beauty in front of the woman." ”

Yunluo arched his hand again and again, "The Lord is not only clever in Taoism, but also lives transparently. ”

The Lord of the Truth-Seeking Observatory smiled, "In Li Kuan's words, the son can be taught!"

was disturbed, Li Kuan was not a little dissatisfied, picked up the teacup and toasted Yunluo with a cup, "We'll talk later." ”

When Yunluo walked into the view, in the main hall, an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard was holding a whisk of dust, a meridian hairpin and a hibiscus crown on his head, and looked at Yunluo with a smile.

After the two of them saw each other, the old Taoist priest smiled and looked at Yunluo, "Jiaolong is prosperous everywhere, and Yun Gongzi is coming to Hengyang, and there will be storms in this city." ”

The clouds fall like a great enemy.

In the main hall, there was suddenly a sky-high sword qi hanging unveiled.
