Chapter 231: Ironwood Order
When he came out of the boudoir of Ximen Shuang, it was already in the middle of the moon, and the guests in the hall had already dispersed, leaving only the servants who were cleaning up in the hall.
Seeing Zhang Wuyi and the two coming, one of the servants hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Zhang Shaoxia, the goddess doctor, my master said, please go to the side hall in the backyard to talk!"
Wu Yi and Zi Yan glanced at each other, and without saying much, they let the servant lead the way.
The servant led the two of them, bypassed a verandah, walked to the west, and identified its location, which was actually a small building in the middle of the lake.
"Zhang Shaoxia, the goddess doctor, please inside!"
When he reached the door, the servant pushed open the door, made an invitation, and then departed.
In the small building, Ximen Leopard sat on the master's seat, and Zhou Changfeng, Ruoxian and others sat on the rattan chairs on both sides, with a solemn expression and a solemn face, as if they were discussing something.
"Brother Wuyi, Miss Ziyan, I'm waiting for the two of you!" Zhou Changfeng walked over and asked again, "How is Ling Xian's nephew?"
Zi Yan replied: "Uncle Zhou, please rest assured, Brother Wuyi and I are here from Sister Shuang, Brother Ling's injury is not serious, he has woken up, but he is still very weak, with Sister Shuang's care, I believe that within three days, he should be able to get out of bed and leave!"
Zhou Changfeng nodded again and again after hearing this, and praised: "It seems that Miss Ziyan has done her best to pass on the true biography of Mr. Zhang, and I believe that it will not be long before she will be better than the blue!"
Although Zhou Changfeng's words were deliberately praised, they also implied seven points of admiration, just imagine, if it weren't for Zhang Ziyan's coincidental arrival, who would have such a great ability to detoxify everyone? Moreover, Ziyan is just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and her medical skills have reached such a point of superbness, which is really terrifying.
At this time, Ximen Leopard also stood up and thanked the two: "Today's matter, it all depends on the amazing means of the two little friends, so that the Iron Fist Gate can escape, the so-called great grace is not thanks, the old man will definitely keep it in mind, if he has the Iron Fist Gate in the future, just say it, the old man and the Iron Fist Gate will definitely go to the soup and fire, and do not hesitate!"
Zhang Wuyi saw it, and hurriedly bowed and returned the salute: "Senior, you are serious, but it's just a gesture, why worry about it, but I've always had some doubts, I wonder if my predecessor can solve my doubts?"
Ximen Leopard paused, didn't seem to be surprised, and said, "Zhang Shaoxia wants to ask about the Temuling?"
Zhang Wuyi was slightly stunned and exclaimed: "Exactly, how do the seniors know?"
Since Ruoxian saw through Jiang Liuxiang's identity of the Xuanyin Sect, he had doubts about his motives lurking in this Iron Fist Gate, Ruoxian had previously guessed that this Jiang Liuxiang was stealing the day for the position of the head of the sect, forcing Ximen Leopard to hand over the Iron Wood Order, and it can be seen that the sect master of the Xuanyin Sect suddenly woke up after the appearance of the sect master, things are by no means so simple, how can a mere position of the head of the Iron Fist Sect attract the dignified Xuanyin Sect Sect Master to show up? There must be some ulterior secrets in this.
At that time, Ruoxian told Zhang Wuyi his thoughts privately, and Wuyi also felt that what Ruoxian said was reasonable, but he couldn't figure out the reason, and now when he saw Ximen Leopard, he couldn't help but ask.
Ximen Leopard was stunned for a while, smiled bitterly, and sighed: "The young man asked well!" The tone was a little sad and a little vicissitudes, as if he couldn't kick it up under a heavy burden.
Ximen Leopard returned to his position, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Everyone, don't hide it, today the old man summoned everyone to come here for this matter!"
Zhou Changfeng frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked, "Oh, Brother Ximen, is there really any secret hidden in this iron and wood order?"
As soon as these words came out, Ruoxian and Duan Yu on the side all looked sideways at this side, and even Zi Yan became curious.
Ximen Leopard interrupted Zhou Changfeng and said: "Brother Zhou, this matter is a secret that is not passed on in my Iron Fist Gate, the old man originally didn't want to mention it, it's just that Jiang Liuxiang turned out to be a spy sent by the Xuanyin Sect, so speculated, the other party must have known something, which makes Lao Yu really feel uneasy, everyone here is either a confidant of Lao Yu, or Yu Tie Fist Gate and Lao Yu have a great favor, therefore, Lao Yu will tell you the ins and outs of this today, and I hope you can give Lao Yu ideas." โ
Simon Leopard said it was extremely sincere and serious, which made everyone feel that this matter would never be simple.
When Zhang Wuyi heard this, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Senior, it doesn't matter, I will do my best!"
Ximen Leopard nodded with satisfaction and sighed: "Everyone, in fact, the old ancestor is not surnamed Ximen, but surnamed Shen!
As soon as the words fell, everyone was taken aback, this Ximen Leopard ancestor was actually surnamed Shen, but why did they change their surname?
After a pause, Ximen Leopard suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of the name Shen Fu?"
Ruoxian was suddenly startled, and blurted out: "Shen Wansan?" Recruiting land, his heart tightened, as if he suddenly thought of something.
Ximen Leopard was also stunned, few people know Shen Wansan's real name, but this alias is famous all over the world, I don't want today, someone can blurt it out, which makes Ximen Leopard a little surprised.
"If the fairy girl is really knowledgeable, yes, this Shen Fu is Shen Wansan!"
Ruoxian refused to stop there, but continued to ask: "Wan San Gong is the richest man in Jiangnan, and his industry is all over Jiangnan, why did the seniors mention him? I heard the seniors just now say that the ancestral surname is also Shen, is it ...... with Wan San Gong?"
Ruoxian is so smart, he quickly found the clue from this few words.
Ximen Leopard's eyes became a little confused, and he sighed: "Yes, this Wansan justice is the next ancestor!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, one martial artist and one businessman, the richest merchant in the dynasty would be the ancestor of Ximen Leopard, which seemed unconvincing.
Simon Leopard didn't pay attention to the mood changes of the crowd, but fell into the memories by himself, as if he had expected this reaction from everyone.
The past is like the wind, but it can't blow away the eternal pain in Simon Leopard's heart.
Ming Dynasty Hongwu six years, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to attack Suzhou City, Zhang Shicheng led the troops to defend desperately, during the period, because of the strong financial support of the rich people of Gusu, it was stubborn in August, at that time, as the head of the rich Ming Shen Wansan naturally made extraordinary efforts, after the city was broken, the Ming army rode into the city, Zhu Yuanzhang hated these Gusu rich people, especially Shen Wansan, therefore, took a lot of retaliatory measures. Shen Wansan is undoubtedly a smart person, in order to be able to survive, to avoid the emperor's revenge, had to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build Nanjing City, Shen Wansan proposed to pay money to help build one-third of the capital, and also to pay to reward the three armies, who would have thought, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious after hearing this, thinking that he was a chaotic move, and wanted to kill him, but fortunately, Queen Ma dissuaded him in many ways to save his life, but the living crime can be avoided, and the death penalty is inevitable, and finally all the wealth of his life is confiscated, and then distributed to Yunnan.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to spare Shen Wansan so easily, and ordered him to be sent to Yunnan just to perfunctory Queen Ma on the surface, and behind his back, he ordered his subordinates to secretly give Shen Wansan to death in the middle of the road, fortunately, Shen Wansan had long expected that there would be this day, and had made preparations earlyใ
"Later, they came to Cangzhou, incognito, and founded the Iron Fist Gate?" Ruoxian asked, seemingly knowing the ins and outs of it.
Ximen Leopard nodded and said: "Yes, back then, my ancestors went all the way east, came to this land of Cangzhou, used the only money left on their bodies to buy this house, and in order to avoid people's eyes, changed their surname to Ximen, and then recruited a large number of martial artists to create this Iron Fist Gate, you know, they are all powerless businessmen, and the establishment of this Iron Fist Gate is not for anything else, just to be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court!"
