CHAPTER XLIV

Yue Xian said with a smile: "Wei Xiang is a contemporary scholar, and his character costs five thousand taels to say the least." As far as I know, the annual silver of the Ministry of Shangshu is two thousand taels, and if the calligraphy and paintings in this house are genuine, it will take twenty years, right?"

Xu Wen didn't answer, just snorted. Yue Xian suddenly raised his hand, and the words Wei Xiang was shattered like snowflakes and flew down. Xu Wen was shocked: "What are you going to do?" Looking at Yue Xian again, he saw that he only had a folding fan in his hand, and he didn't have any sharp weapons, but he didn't know how he smashed the word in an instant.

Yue Xian smiled: "Lord Xu, don't be surprised, this is a fake. Tomorrow, I will present you with a true painting of Wei Xiang. ”

Xu Wen trembled and said, "You...... What do you mean?"

Yue Xian said: "Lord Xu's family has a lot of money, and these more than 60,000 taels are naturally out of the question. But he came here today, not to collect debts. ”

Xu Wen hadn't come out of the panic yet, and said, "What happened to the son?"

Yue Xian sat back in his chair, pushed a few IOUs on the table in front of Xu Wen, and said, "I heard that your son is in some trouble and borrowed some silver. Then he ordered them to be collected, and today he has only come to return them. ”

Xu Wen was quite surprised, the person in front of him had just said and done, obviously threatening himself, but now he suddenly showed favor to himself, and he really couldn't figure out what medicine he was in the gourd. Xu Wen said: "Why is the son like this?"

Yue Xian smiled: "I just ask Lord Xu for a word." ”

"What?"

Yue Xian looked at Xu Wen and slowly spit out two words in his mouth: "Qin He." ”

※※※

After Yue Xian came out of Xu Wen's mansion, he heard the doorman say to the people waiting outside: "My lord is tired today, please go back, come back tomorrow!" Everyone scattered in a sigh.

Xiao Tong came up and asked, "Agreed?" Without waiting for Yue Xian to answer, a sturdy man walked closer, saluted Yue Xian and said, "Villain Tu Hai, I have been waiting for my son-in-law here for a long time on the order of Lord Feng, please ask my son-in-law to come over the house." ”

Yue Xian said: "I also have something to discuss with Lord Feng, please lead the way." ”

"Please!" Tu Hai beckoned, and the sedan chair waiting next to him fell down, Yue Xian said to Aemon and Xiaotong, "You go back first", and after speaking, he sat in with a low body.

This is the third time Yue Xian has been to Feng Weiming's mansion, but his mood is very different from the previous two times.

The two exchanged a few words, Feng Weiming did not mention the matter of Lei Shuangjian at all, and Yue Xian did not take the initiative to mention it. Feng Weiming said: "The first time I saw Gongzi Yue, I felt that Gongzi's bearing was extraordinary. It's just that he is entangled in official business, and he has not been able to get closer. I'm finally free today, and I want to ask my son-in-law some questions. ”

Yue Xian lowered his head slightly and said, "Don't dare." ”

Feng Weiming said: "I heard that Gongzi Yue has been in the capital for more than half a year, I don't know what I think of the terroir of the characters in Beijing?"

Yue Xian said slowly: "The lively scene in Beijing is very different from the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh, I wonder what difference my son-in-law thinks?"

Yue Xian said: "Lord Feng is interested in the rivers and lakes?"

Feng Weiming said: "This official is also a person who practices martial arts, and his wish in his life is to walk the rivers and lakes with three feet, but he is favored by the saint and is in charge of this Shiliang Gate, and it is difficult to get out." But in this Shiliangmen, it is inevitable that there will be contacts with the rivers and lakes. Not to mention...... Brother Ling is still the fast son-in-law of Chenglong who wants to drink from the master of the Martial Arts League, Yue Jian Villa, it's not simple!"

Yue Xian said: "The Northern Xinjiang faction, why worry about it. ”

Feng Weiming fiddled with the tea bowl in his hand and said, "If you can catch Chen Quan in the water, how can a small sect do it?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Feng Weiming raised his head and said, "Chen Quan is a first-class master of Shiliang Sect, and his underwater kung fu is even more superb. If it weren't for seeing Chen Quan wet and tied to the ground by you that day, I would never believe that there could be someone in this world who could capture Chen Quan underwater. ”

Yue Xian looked at Feng Weiming, but did not answer. Feng Weiming leaned forward and asked, "I don't believe that you are just trying to avenge Xia Taoxia Town, what is your purpose?"

Yue Xian stared at Feng Weiming's eyes, and said word by word: "The winter cold moon is full of body injuries, and the long clothes and porridge are heartwarming. ”

Feng Weiming instantly struck his body like thunder, and the old things of more than twenty years ago came to his heart one by one, he looked at Yue Xian in a daze for a long time, and then asked, "You...... Who the hell are you?"

Yue Xian smiled: "In Xia Yue Sword Villa, Yue Xian." ”

"No...... No" Feng Weiming has never been so out of shape in front of outsiders: "How do you know this poem? Who told you that?"

Yue Xian said, "Aunt Fang told me. ”

"Aunt Fang?" Feng Weiming was very unfamiliar with this name.

Yue Xian said: "In the past, she was called Meizhi. ”

"Mei Zhi, what is her relationship with you?" Feng Weiming asked eagerly.

Yue Xian said: "She used to be her mother's maid. ”

"Yes, yes", Feng Weiming's secret hidden in the depths of his memory slowly began to wake up, and he finally began to understand why he had a strange feeling when he saw Yue Xian for the first time, and why he had been eager to explore Yue Xian's details. He raised his head and looked at Yue Xian carefully, only to feel that Yue Xian's eyes looked more and more like her. Feng Weiming asked, "Your mother, her?"

Yue Xian's eyes dimmed: "Twenty-two years ago, I died under the knife of the Zuo Army. ”

Feng Weiming sighed, he had already guessed such an ending, but he just didn't want to believe it. Suddenly, Yue Xian got up and knelt down in front of Feng Weiming: "I feel the grace of Lord Feng to save his life back then." ”

Feng Weiming didn't move, but smiled bitterly: "What are you doing when you come back? Since you escaped, you should have fled far away, why do you want to come back?"

Yue Xian raised his head and said: "Lord Feng is my mother and my life-saving benefactor, I dare not hide it, I came back to get justice for my parents!"

"Justice?" Feng Weiming's wry smile actually carried a bit of crying: "How can there be justice in this world? Don't you understand the truth of becoming a king and defeating a thief? Justice? Only the victor is fair! Do you think that someone can get justice for Li Jiancheng?" Feng Weiming's voice became louder and louder, and the last sentence was almost shouted.

Yue Xian said hatefully: "My father is not Li Jianchen, and he is not Li Shimin. If I don't seek justice from him, how can I be worthy of those souls who have died unjustly?"

Feng Weiming said angrily: "Presumptuous! How dare you say such a thing? You can go! It's just that I haven't seen you today!"

Yue Xian stood up, stared at Feng Weiming's eyes and said, "Everyone in this world deserves justice!" After speaking, he turned around and walked to the door, Yue Xian said: "Lord Feng, I won't force you into the water, but please don't obstruct me." With that, he left, leaving only the stunned Feng Weiming.

Yue Xian knew that it was undoubtedly a gamble for him to say this to Feng Weiming, but he was sure that he must have made the right bet: since Feng Weiming was willing to save his mother and himself back then, he would definitely help himself today, at least not demolish himself.

After Yue Xian left, Feng Weiming fell into painful memories again, those two nights were so similar, both were windy and snowy, and the cold wind was biting. The only difference is that once he was rescued, and once he saved someone. Twenty-two years ago, Feng Weiming was ordered to hunt down the anti-thief remnants, and the three of them chased more than 100 miles north and caught up with Lu Zhuo and her two servants: Mei Zhi, Tao Zhi, and her newborn child.

Although Lu Zhuo's kung fu is quite high, he has given birth to a child for less than half a month, and his family is ruined, his mind is sad, and he has long lost his strength when he has run all the way here. Mei Zhi and Tao Zhi stood in front of the hostess, but they were gently pushed away by Lu Zhuo, kneeling in front of Feng Weiming and the others, and said with a sad face: "Feng Dutong, it's not a pity for me to die, but please spare this child for the sake of the old days!"

Feng Weiming said next to him: "My lord, the order from above is to eradicate the grass!"
