Chapter Seventy-Nine: Entering the Chen Mansion
Last night's vignette, that is, vignette. It's not a killer's plan, it's not an inn for money and murder, it's just an accident.
It was just a pure accident.
The air in the early morning is always nice and cool. He Shang faced the wooden window of the guest room, savoring the coolness of the morning breeze. After a heavy rain, the breeze that washes away the dust in the air is really soothing.
The breeze blew on his face, and this coolness made He Shang smile slightly.
He's in a good mood today, especially good. Not just for such a comfortable morning, but also for those silver tickets.
Three silver tickets of ten taels of silver, a total of thirty taels of money, always made He Shang very happy.
Especially when he got up early in the morning, the innkeeper waited at the door with a smile on his face, and stuffed himself with a silver ticket of thirty taels.
The beautiful scenery admired the beautiful things, and He Shang's mood suddenly became happy.
Holding a white porcelain bowl in his hand, the bowl contains white white porridge, which is just warm. He Shang stood in front of the window, looking into the distance.
The rain was refreshing, and the eaves were still dripping with water. Wisps of cooking smoke slowly rise, and the chirping of unknown birds mingles with the early cries of selling.
He Shang was very happy, and he was inexplicably happy when he thought of the thirty taels of silver. So he took a few sips of the white rice porridge and turned his head to eat the rest of the breakfast.
Half a bucket of small white rice porridge, a few dishes of congee dishes, and a large greasy roast chicken that is out of time.
These dishes are giveaways, that is to say, they are the breakfast that the inn gave to He Shang for free. With a free breakfast and thirty taels of silver tickets, He Shang happily hummed a little tune.
With a great appetite, he ate these things cleanly, perhaps because he had already entered the stage of qi training, He Shang had a great appetite for eating.
After eating, He Shang wiped his mouth, and walked directly out of the door regardless of the messy breakfast endgame.
They had already planned to visit Chen's house early this morning and began to talk about the business of buying slaves and supplies.
Walking out of the door, ignoring the innkeeper who bowed his head, He Shang found the two long-awaited figures.
On the carriage of the horned unicorn, Niu Erjiao and Gao Zhu were eating a roast chicken, eating happily, dripping oil with their hands.
He Shang approached, refused a piece of chicken handed over, and said, "No need, I've eaten it." ”
After saying that, he walked straight into the carriage and got into the carriage.
Knock!
He Shang banged on the wooden planks in the carriage, waiting for Niu Erjiao and Gao Zhu to finish eating the roast chicken.
A moment later, a mouthful of oil-covered horns drilled into the carriage. Gao Zhu is a coachman, and he has to stay outside the carriage to drive the carriage and horses.
Niu Erjiao was a little happy, because he ate the free roast chicken given by the inn, as well as the five taels of silver secretly stuffed to him. The remaining eyes were full of pride and joy, and his hand unnaturally touched the five taels of silver hidden on his body.
He Shang saw all this, but he didn't say anything.
He just waited quietly, listening to the sound of the carriage and the noise outside the carriage.
At first, the noise outside was only faint, but then the cultivation became louder and louder.
At the end, He Shang felt that the speed of the carriage had slowed down.
The speed of the carriage slowed down, followed by the hoarse voice of Gao Zhu outside: "My lord, it's here." ”
The carriage stopped in a noisy street, He Shang got out of the car, and Niu Erjiao followed.
It is really not ordinary, the streets here are prosperous, the people are prosperous, and the excitement is different from the usual. When I got out of the car, I was faced with a magnificent mansion.
The vermilion gold and bronze portal stands at the beginning, conspicuous and magnificent. Two large stone lions squatted on both sides of the door, looking like life, presumably spending a lot of money to hire a big carver. There were also two burly men standing in the doorway, holding black watchmen with rough faces.
There is also a big plaque hanging on the head of the gate, the plaque is golden lacquer, and the two big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - Chen Mansion!
Gao Zhu comforted the two horned unicorns, walked straight to the two gatekeepers, and muttered a few words. The two gatekeepers leaned slightly towards Gao Zhu, and one of them stepped into the door, presumably to inform his master.
He Shang played with the hilt of the sword he was carrying at his waist in his hand, and when he saw Gao Zhu turn around, he explained everything to himself.
"Lord Ho, please forgive your sins. For the time being, I had to leave for a while, and settle the two beasts pulling the cart. Gao Zhu's hoarse voice sounded, with a look of apology on his face, "My lord go in first, Niu Erjiao has also been to the Chen family." I believe that he can lead the way for adults. ”
After hearing this, He Shang directly waved his hand to signal Gao Zhu to leave, and in his heart he was even more satisfied with Gao Zhu, and at the same time he was slightly surprised by Wang Fangdao's power.
I don't know how many subordinates like this are Wang Fangdao? Subordinates who know how to advance and retreat and are not weak are really scarce.
Gao Zhu left, and He Shang was not stunned. He was the first to step into the threshold of the gate of the Chen Mansion, followed by a cow and two horns.
"You lead the way. ”
As soon as He Shang entered the door, he couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw the complicated path in front of him. No wonder Gao Zhu reminded Niu Erjiao to lead the way before, it turned out that the scale of this Chen Mansion was so large.
Tree-lined and built in Kaohsiung. From time to time, one or two servants appeared, or sprinkled water to sweep the floor, or strolled by. I can hear the chirping of birds and insects, and I really have to sigh at the size of the Chen Mansion.
On the way, Niu Erjiao said that the Chen family was rich, but it turned out that they were really rich to such an extent.
For fear of getting lost, this time he was replaced by Niu Erjiao in front, and He Shang followed.
As he walked and watched, He Shang's mind became more and more shocked.
The Chen family's mansion is big, it is really big, He Shang thought, I am afraid that some wealthy businessmen's mansions in Liucheng will not be able to match the Chen family's mansion.
Continuing to walk forward, He Shang and Niu Erjiao met a middle-aged black man.
"Li Tou. ”
"Brother Niu. ”
The man was dressed in black cloth with silver threads on his head. With a knife stuck in a scabbard around his waist, his limbs are strong, his skin is dark, and his breath is long and powerful, which shows that he is a guy who eats with martial arts.
Obviously, this person and Niu Erjiao knew each other, and Niu Erjiao stepped forward to say a few words. introduced He Shang and the other party again, and He Shang knew that this black and thin man was Li Shengtian, the head of the Chen Mansion's houseguards.
Niu Erjiao said a few more words, and then hugged his fists and said goodbye.
The Chen family is not simple, He Shang peeked at Li Shengtian who was leaving. From his perception, although this housekeeper has not reached the last realm of mortals, it is not far behind.
A rich Chen family is not simple.
Thinking about the sentence that the old man of the Chen family wants to share seventy percent of the profits of Shenghe's slaves, he doesn't think this is an abrupt situation.
After all, the tree is very popular, and the rich family will naturally hire some people who are not weak in martial arts to guard the residence.
After leaving Li Shengtian, Niu Erjiao continued to take He Shang into the depths of the Chen family.
He Shang noticed that the buildings on the road were taller, and he knew that this was the deeper part of the Chen family's mansion.
Niu Erjiao led the way, but met a few small guys on the road.
The one who took the lead said, "The old man made the immortal envoy wait for a long time, and he was deeply disturbed. Specially let the subordinates come to greet the immortal envoy. ”
