Chapter 1: The Beginning
"The paradise of the people of the rivers and lakes is really not bad. ”
"There is only one thought between heaven and hell, and at the same time of being at ease, it is often dangerous and unpredictable. ”
Lin Ziming and Dai Qisi came on horseback, and it took a long time to finally arrive at Shalan Mansion, and they couldn't help but feel a little bit about what they saw and heard along the way.
The two had just entered the city, and the Ouyang family had been waiting for a long time, bringing Lin Ziming and Dai Qisi to the Ouyang family, at this time Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Qing were chatting in the side room, and Ouyang Yun was waiting in the hall.
"Lin Shaoxia, the purple-shirted dragon king. ”
Ouyang Yun saw Lin Ziming walking forward, and took the lead in saying hello, and then his eyes fell on Dai Qisi, and then looked back at Lin Ziming and said: "In the past, the purple-shirted Dragon King came out of the Western Regions, and there was an endless stream of followers, so I didn't want Lin Shaoxia to hug the beauty." ”
"You two, please be seated!"
"Come on, serve tea. ”
Ouyang Yun, Lin Ziming and Dai Qisi sat down in turn, and when they took the tea from the servant's hand, they took a look, the tea was prominent yellow, except for the tea leaves, there was half a scorpion, Dai Qisi couldn't help asking: "Is this not dry scorpion tea." ”
"The Dragon King is so knowledgeable. Ouyang Yun nodded, "Dry scorpion tea is unique to the Ouyang family, it is very precious, it is not used by non-distinguished guests, and it may not be famous outside, but drinking it is of great benefit to cultivation." ”
Saying that, Ouyang Yun blew the hot air and took a sip, Lin Ziming also took a sip when he saw this, the fragrance had a hint of bitterness, thinking about it carefully, there was a sweet taste, under one sip, it was like experiencing spring, summer, autumn and winter, it was really wonderful.
"Bitterness comes sweetly, refreshing people's hearts. ”
Being able to taste the artistic conception shows that Lin Shaoxia is also a person who understands tea. Ouyang Yun smiled faintly, and praised it without hesitation.
"Praise. ”
Even so, dry scorpion tea is indeed a rare good tea, pleasing to the eye, immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves, the two of them are not here to drink tea.
"Why don't you see Senior Ouyang?"
Ouyang Yun said: "He still has some things to deal with, and he will come over later." ”
"The head of the family, something is wrong. ”
Suddenly, under the guidance of the guards, an embarrassed person walked into the hall, covered in rags and bloodstains, holding a steel knife in his hand, and hurriedly reported to Ouyang Yunyu.
"Why are you so flustered?"
"The subordinates are incompetent, and the tax money of the Salan Mansion was robbed by a group of masked men in Hak City. ”
"What!" Ouyang Yun slapped the case and said angrily: "Who gave birth to a bear's heart and leopard guts, and dared to fight the tax money of the Ouyang family in Shalan Mansion." ”
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Yes!"
There are four major families in Shalan Mansion jointly controlled, and at this time of the year it is the time to pay taxes and silver, who dared to fight the idea of these silver in previous years, this time such a thing happened, how can it not make people angry.
After a while, Ouyang Feng walked out, and just heard this, he also frowned, although he had not participated in the decision-making of the Ouyang family for more than ten years, he also knew that this tax was a huge amount of money.
"Old Seven, you go and deal with this matter first. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm one step ahead. ”
"I hope to find the real culprit as soon as possible. Lin Ziming got up and said.
When Ouyang Yun walked out of the hall and came to his study, his brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't find out the suspicious person after thinking about it, let alone talk about the truth of the matter.
This matter is not as simple as just a million silver taels, but also related to his face and reputation, if it is not handled well, it will inevitably give people a handle and attract gossip.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in the study, fixed next to Ouyang Yun, Ouyang Yun looked sideways, he didn't have much defense, looking at the person in front of him, but he thought of a possible clue in his mind.
"No night, uninvited, what's the matter?"
was called by Ouyang Yun as a person who has nothing in the night, just like his name, dressed in a black robe, handsome and strange, with a transcendent and earthly meaning.
"For the things that are on your mind. Ye Wu said lightly.
"Zi Fei Fish, the joy of knowing fish?" Ouyang Yun is ordinary, not chaotic in the face of danger, ordinary people can't find his weaknesses at all, and he asks rhetorically without a sound.
Ye Wu took out a piece of silver, and Ouyang Yun's eyes lit up, "Is this possible?"
Ouyang Yun nodded, he was at a loss for what to do, and now Ye Wu brought him a message, "Say, what conditions do you want?"
"Six reincarnation woods. ”
Ye Wu's words were not loud, but they shocked Ouyang Yun's heart, and said: "The reincarnation wood is the foundation of the Ouyang family, how can you give it to each other at will." ”
"You misunderstood, what I want is not the reincarnation wood that has been processed by the Ouyang family's secret method, but just an ordinary reincarnation wood raw material around the Flame Mountain. ”
"That's fine. ”
Ouyang Yun responded, looked at Ye Wu, and said, "Now that you have mentioned the conditions, should you tell the truth of the matter?" ”
"Wang Shichong. ”
When there was no word at night, people also turned into a wind and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sentence in the room: "The tax silver is in the west of the city, don't forget the reincarnation wood when you come to get it." ”
"Wang Shichong?" Ouyang Yun sneered at the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneer: "You actually hit me on the head with the idea, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
Immediately, he was seen writing with a pen, placing it on top of the pigeon, throwing it out of the window, and watching the pigeon fly away.
In the hall, after Ouyang Feng, Lin Ziming and Dai Qisi talked about it, they saw Ouyang Yun coming, and Ouyang Feng asked, "Is there an eyebrow in the matter?"
"This incident was actually done by Wang Shichong. Ouyang Yun said to Ouyang Feng, and everyone was shocked, but it is unimaginable that this kind of person who is doing such a thing for his own interests.
"What are you going to do?"
"Everyone else has pulled on their heads, how can they let it go. Ouyang Yun said sharply: "Even if you tear your face with the Great Ming Zun Sect, you will not hesitate to do so." ”
"You are the person in charge of the Ouyang family in Shalan Mansion, since you have a plan, I won't say anything. Ouyang Feng said: "But I still say that, don't forget to think about cause and effect when doing things." ”
"Got it, Fifth Brother. ”
"In that case, it is time for me to take my leave of you. ”
In the back garden, the three carts were ready to go, and they had already driven to the door of the mansion, just waiting for Ouyang Feng, Lin Ziming, and Dai Qisi.
Ouyang Yun personally saw him off, and when he left: "Take care all the way." ”
"Let's go!"
With Ouyang Feng's loud shout, the convoy slowly moved and left Shalan Mansion.
A high ground, looking down from a distance at night, taking in everything just now.
"It's time to inform the Dragon King. ”
Just as he was about to leave, under the blue sky, a black dot swooped down, approaching at a rapid speed, but it was the twelve beasts who sent a message to the eagle to come.
"After retrieving the reincarnation wood, you can return to Tianning Mansion. ”
