Zuo Lengchan endured the pain brought to him by the cold ice true qi swimming in his body, and at the same time admired Tian Duming's wail. It's like an art master appreciating his own work, "Mr. Tian, how is it? Zuo's cold ice true qi tastes good, right? Since Zuo's practice, Zunjia is still the first to try to recruit, Mr. Tian has made Zuo have a feeling for the cold ice true qi again, and in the future, Zuo can achieve something, and he will not forget Mr. Tian's contribution to the cold ice true qi." Zuo will definitely keep it in mind, and please rest assured Mr. Tian. ”

Listening to Zuo Lengchan's teasing, Tian Duming didn't mention how uncomfortable he felt in his heart, but the sharp pain in his crotch made him unable to refute. In fact, he has nothing to refute, in the martial arts, the sword comes first. Gold and silver treasures, power and dignity, and beautiful women and curiosities all require a pair of fists that are so hard that others can't stop them to seize them. This is not a gentle court, this is the rivers and lakes... The court and the public criticized it as a river and lake that did not know etiquette and righteousness and had no program. Nothing else will help you get the position of power you want. The only thing that can help you is your own fist.

Back then, Tian Duming was able to destroy the whole family of the sect, he could deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and he could survive the pursuit of countless heroes in the martial arts. It is not his clever tongue, nor is it that his head is brighter and rounder than other Jindingmen**, but his hard fists.

Now, with a bigger and harder fist, his good days will naturally come to an end. What Tian Duming is hesitating now is, whether to ask for mercy or not? In fact, there is nothing to worry about. Although Zuo Lengchan turned Tian Duming into a eunuch, what is this compared to a life? The only thing that needs to be considered is how to surrender decently. Although he has nothing to say about it anymore.

But whether it is Zuo Lengchan who seems to be mocking but is actually pranayama standing on the side, Tian Duming who is thinking about how to surrender in his mind to be valued, or a group of Tian Duming's henchmen who are shocked by Zuo Lengchan's magical cold ice true qi. I didn't see it, in the dense woods, a little cold light.

Just when Tian Duming had thought about how to negotiate with Zuo Lengchan before he could surrender with dignity and was about to speak.

"Boom", and then Tian Duming only felt as if something was flowing out of his Yin Hall. Then there was another sharp pain, and it was dark in front of my eyes...

With a "squeak", the door of the main hall slammed shut.

"Master Zhou, have they all settled down?" No, it should be the current Hejiabao Fort Lord He Chengliang sat beside Old Man He, closed his eyes and asked.

"It's settled, but Ma Qianhu said that there has been a big move in the court recently, and the affairs of the yamen are busy, so they won't bother. "The second master of the He family is also depressed now. It's no wonder that his father is suddenly gone, can he not be depressed?" When my father was alive, which of them didn't come to see it in person during the New Year's holidays? It was Emperor Taizong's five expeditions to the desert, and they didn't run to our house. Now that my father is gone, they think that our family is not a good family, and they don't recognize people or anything. ”

"Silence! What kind of bastard are you talking about!" He Chengliang suddenly opened his eyes, scolded, and then said as if talking to himself, "Our father is the founding father, and he has a number in his heart today." Although after retiring, Emperor Taizu only rewarded him with a meritorious name from the five grades as a reward, and officials could not interfere in local military affairs without office. But even those grandfathers and marquis's mansions can come and go at will, calling them brothers. Those prefects, counties, thousands of households, and commanders must not be polite to our father? If our father is good, they will naturally continue to be polite. But when our father goes, I don't know what old relationships can be used, so they will naturally not continue to be polite. ”

"That's... After that, our family's business..."The second master of the He family listened to the eldest brother's self-talk, and seemed to think of something, and his face turned a little pale.

"Take it. He Chengliang's face was calm, but the fists in his robe were clenched tightly by him, and the green tendons burst out.

"Has it really come to this point?" The second master of the He family's face became more and more pale, he was really reluctant to exchange grain for salt, and nearly half of the expenses of nearly 2,000 people in Hejiabao every year were due to this. Without this income, the nearly 2,000 family servants of the He family would have to be cut off at least half, not counting the losses caused by the families who were intercepted and killed by Tian Duming before and the pensions that needed to be allocated. Thinking of this, the second master of the He family had a headache.

"Be careful, if it weren't for the old man's foresight, let Zhiqian and Zhihao go to the imperial examination, I'm afraid our He family would really be eaten this time. He Chengliang gently rubbed his old father's cheek, trying his best to smooth the furrow on his face. But it turned out that all this was in vain, "As for He Fugui and their pensions, they sold the two pieces of watered land in Fenzhou, and if it was not enough, they sold one of the shops in Datong City." When our father was alive, he said that he could owe everything, and the only thing he couldn't owe was the family's pension. If we lose our trust in others, then there is really no place for our He family. ”

The second master of the He family clenched his fists and hit the pillar, "Hey... When did our He family fall to the point where we had to sell our house and land? That is the family foundation that our father has worked hard to earn all his life, and it is also your hard work, big brother!"

"Don't care too much about money and other things. As long as people are still alive, our He family is still there, and we can slowly save in the future. He Chengliang knew what his brother was thinking, the third son of the second family had lost his name to Sun Shan several times in the exam, and he thought about it a few years ago and sent it to Jiangnan to find a famous teacher after this birthday, hone it for a few years, and then return to the north to take the exam. Datong's shop is managed by the second child, and the expenses of the second family and the three boys in Jiangnan are afraid that they will have to go from the account of the shop in Datong. But the current situation of the He family, I'm afraid that kid's trip to Jiangnan can only be done. "Zhiming's matter, drag it back, and let's talk about it after that. Chengdong, you can choose a fast horse to go to Datong now, and while the people over there don't know the news of our father's death, you can still sell it for a good price. If they knew, they wouldn't be able to sell it for a few bucks. ”

"Big brother... All right... I'll go. The second master of the He family saw that the eldest brother had made up his mind, although he was unwilling in his heart, but he was helpless. Thirty years ago, He Yuantu had already handed over the affairs of the family to He Chengliang, and He Jiabao had the final say from top to bottom, except for the old lady of the He family who died not long ago, it was this Uncle of the He family.

Looking at the departure of his compatriots, He Chengliang said softly, "Do you still insist on going to Taiyuan?"

A sturdy young man came out of the side hall, and it was He Zhihao, the head of the He family, who had a hot fight with the children of the army before. A pair of heroic eyes looked at his father, "The He family suffered a catastrophe, as the eldest grandson of the long house, Zhihao should not have traveled far to Taiyuan." However, Brother Qian came with news from Beijing that recently, Fang Shixue Xu Hui was stationed in Taiyuan with the army westward, so I must go. I think that if we can have a waiter to come forward, the situation of our He family may be better. ”

"Hey... If you have half the hard work of Qian'er in your studies, and don't indulge in poetry, songs, horseback riding and archery, and other side playthings, where will you be left behind by Qian'er? With your talent, you should have entered the Hanlin Academy a long time ago, if that is the case, what are we afraid of the He family this time?" He Chengliang sighed, and he didn't know if it was for the rise and fall of the He family or the future of his beloved son, "Since Fang Shiyu is coming, then you can go." The big celebrities around the prince, if they can help us say a few words, those Qiu Ba and corrupt officials will not dare to do anything. ”

He Zhihao respectfully gave his father a big salute, "My son will definitely let Fang Shiyu help our He family survive this catastrophe this time." ”

He Chengliang flicked his sleeves and said, "Go!

He Zhihao got up from the ground, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around and was about to go back to his room to pack some clothes, and wait for the old man to go to Taiyuan after the funeral. But I heard He Chengliang say: "When you arrive in Taiyuan, remember to find your Uncle Wu, he will help you." (To be continued.) )
