There is Liuquan County in the west of Lingnan Road, adjacent to Jiangnan Road. It has many mountains and rivers, the sky is never clear for three days, and the land is never three miles flat. Military strategists have always tried to avoid this place when fighting. It has neither a favorable geographical location nor is it rich in rice.

It can't raise many soldiers, and it has little strategic value. It's purely useless. It's a pity to abandon it and it's tasteless. The poorest road in the entire Great Shang Kingdom is Lingnan Road, and this Liuquan County is relatively poor in Lingnan Road.

Where can one get rich?

There are only two good things about Liuquan County. The first is that Liuquan is rich in fine wine, and the second is that the girls are very beautiful. It is hard to imagine that such a remote and remote place can have so many beautiful girls. Many officials and gentry of the big merchants thought that they could marry Liuquan County.

Girls from Quan County are proud of it. Speaking of who is the most beautiful girl in Liuquan County? People from Liuquan County will tell you that she is a girl from the Shui family, named Shui Ruyue.

The Shui family is in the south of the city, five miles away from the Liuquan County Sheriff's Office. The head of the family, Shui Yundong, has a son and a daughter. The daughter is Shui Ruyue. This Miss Shui is beautiful and talented. She was given to Shui Yundong since she was a child.

Sent to Heyue Academy for further study. I heard that this girl is also among the best among the students in the inner courtyard of the academy. She is already very good at studying in the Heyue Academy of Dashang Kingdom. The students of the inner academy of the academy are all

A genius level person.

The Shui Family is a four-in-one courtyard, a typical Jiangnan garden. To have such a luxurious manor in this remote place in the countryside is inevitably surprising. It is no wonder that the owner of the family, Shui Yundong, runs many industries.

There are tea houses, silk shops, grain stores, etc. If you are rich, it is not surprising to have such a big house. Shui Yundong is tall and handsome. He is known as the number one master in Liuquan County and a second-grade martial artist.

The Shui family has a guest these days. He is in his forties, fair-faced and of medium build. He carries a knife. His surname is Guan and his name is Guan Deqiang. He is a lone ranger. He is righteous and has high martial arts skills, so he is nicknamed by Jianghu people.

I can’t control it. Guan Deqiang has lived in Shui’s house for more than 20 days and has never left. He lives in the front yard and never leaves. I heard that Mr. Guan and the owner of the house, Shui Yundong, are good friends. What difficulties are they encountering now?

, just came to join an old friend.

Shui Yundong was already hospitable, especially since this old friend had saved his life back then, so he was even more hospitable. He would have meat for every meal, wine for every meal, and occasionally he would invite this old friend to a brothel for a drink.

Flower wine is the ultimate expression of friendship to the landlord.

At noon that day, Shui Yundong and Guan Deqiang drank happily for a long time. Guan Deqiang was already drunk. Shui Yundong returned to the back house drunk and went up to the second floor. His wife Chen Yingcai had already asked the maid to prepare sobering soup.

When the master came back, he quickly asked the little maid to bring him the hangover soup. After Shui Yundong drank the hangover soup, he felt much better. He leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to rest.

Mrs. Chen Yingcai, whose natal family is in Tianchang Mansion, Jiangnan Road, is also a young lady from a wealthy family. When Shui Yundong went to Tianchang Mansion to do silk business, he met Mrs. Chen’s father, Chen Yongzhi. After a few days of contact, Mr. Chen saw this young man.

My son was quite nice, cheerful, handsome, good at martial arts, and his family had property. So I asked the young man if he had a family. Shui Yundong was not married yet, so he answered truthfully.

Mr. Chen was very happy and laughed and said: "I have a daughter. To be honest, she looks like you. She is also good at martial arts. She is not bad at being a heroine. She has a bit of a shrewd personality, but she can run a household. You want

If you don't mind, come and meet us at our house?" Shui Yundong is an upright man. Since the old man is interested, let's take a look!

It was also a destined marriage. When the two met, they were really in love with each other. They were already talented and beautiful, so it was great that they could discuss martial arts with each other. Shui Yundong's parents died in his early years and he had no brothers, so he could arrange the marriage by himself.

He made the decision, so he paid a betrothal gift to marry Chen Yingcai and returned to Liuquan County, Lingnan Province. Chen Yingcai also lived up to his expectations and gave birth to two children, a son and a daughter. Shui Yundong loved his wife and two children like treasures.

Shui Yundong hoped that his son would become a dragon, his daughter would become a phoenix, and his daughter Shui Ruyue would be sent to Heyue Academy when he was a child. He would enter the inner courtyard to study literature and martial arts with the old gentleman Qiu Shanze. Although Qiu Shanze was only in the second level, Shui Yundong knew

, the old gentleman had entered the first rank before, so he felt free to let Shui Ruyue learn the martial arts from his master. What's more important is that Shui Ruyue's master's wife, Gu Qingfeng, has higher martial arts, and the female disciples were all brought out by Gu Qingfeng himself.

His son Shui Rulong became a disciple of Cheng Chang'an from the Fire God Peak of Niu'er Mountain in Shannan Road. Cheng Chang'an was Shui Yundong's elder brother and a great hero in the world. Although he was not on the hero list, he was by no means better than the majority of those on the hero list.

The hero's martial arts skills are poor. He is just indifferent to fame and wealth, so he lives in seclusion on the Vulcan Peak of Niu'er Mountain. Shui Yundong devoted all his energy to making money, so his martial arts level stopped at the second level, making him far inferior to his senior brother, so he entrusted his son to the big brother.

Senior brother teaches.

When Shui Yundong was a boy, he worshiped Cheng Lingfeng as his teacher at the Vulcan Peak of Niu'er Mountain. Cheng Lingfeng was the head of the Optian Sect, and Cheng Changan was Cheng Lingfeng's son, Shui Yundong's senior brother. The Optimist Sect was one of the ten major sects.

One of them, Shui Yundong, is also a famous disciple.

When Mrs. Chen Yingcai saw her master leaning on the couch drowsily, she wiped Shui Yundong's head with a hot towel and couldn't help but said a few words, "Master, you are already going to your fifties. Drink less."

Wine, drink more tea. Alas, the girl's sons are not at home. One is studying in the mountains, and the other is traveling all over the world with his senior brother. Fortunately, Tang Jiusheng strives for success with this child. Although he has suffered some hardships, he is now a prince after all.

Our girl is really discerning!"

Shui Yundong leaned on the couch, opened his eyes and said with a proud smile: "That's right! It doesn't matter whose daughter she is? I am Shui Yundong's daughter, how can it be any worse? She can be the son-in-law of my Shui family.

Then you must be the best among men!"

Chen Yingcai, who is in her forties this year and looks like she is thirty years old, smiled and patted her husband's arm, "Master, do you know what I liked about you back then? It's this confidence, not just confidence.

, sometimes I feel conceited. In your eyes, is there any man in the world who is better than you?"

Shui Yundong was leaning on the bed, and even when he was drunk, he kept joking, "Those who are more handsome than me are not as good at martial arts as me, and those who are better at martial arts than me are not as handsome as me!" Dong'er, the little maid next to her, couldn't hold back and let out a puff.

He laughed and quickly stuck out his tongue.

Chen Yingcai smiled and said: "Master! Look, even Dong'er is laughing at you!" Chen Yingcai suddenly remembered that the servant Chen Ma said that Guan Deqiang, who lived in the front yard, brought a bag and did not allow anyone to touch it.

, so he asked softly: "Sir, Mr. Guan has been living in our house for more than twenty days. I heard from Chen's mother that when she went in to clean the house, she accidentally touched a pocket that Mr. Guan was carrying, and it was picked up by him.

I was scolded."

Shui Yundong said in a daze: "This is normal. Who doesn't have some privacy and doesn't want others to know? Just ask Mrs. Chen to pay attention when cleaning!" The couple chatted about one thing and another.

Drinking.

Just as Shui Yundong was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard loud shouts outside. Shui Yundong was so excited that he sat up, shook his head, walked to the window, opened the window on the second floor of the main room, and looked out. Oops.

, I saw soldiers and horses surrounding my courtyard. Shui Yundong was very surprised. He was a martial arts scholar, he never crossed the line when doing business, and his relationship with the local officials was pretty good. Why were the soldiers surrounding my house?

A few years ago, Yu Desheng, the steward of the Shui family, defrauded many people of their money under the banner of the Shui family and fled to Jiannan Road. Shui Yundong returned all the money, but he only got the exact information about Yu Desheng and sent

His daughter took two guards, Huang Qiwan and Shuangji Feiting, to Jiannan Road to find trouble for him.

This matter has already been settled with the officials. Besides, even if it is because of this matter, it is not necessary to send troops to surround the village.

?Biejia from the county and Mr. Gongcao have a friendship where they drink together whenever they have nothing to do.

Shui Yundong was wondering, when the old housekeeper Shui? hurriedly ran into the back house. Shui? raised his head and saw Shui Yundong standing in front of the window in a daze. Shui? shouted upstairs: "Master, something bad happened.

Come on! Many officers and soldiers came outside the courtyard, saying they wanted to capture the imperial convicts Guan Deqiang and Shui Yundong! Please go out and have a look!"

Shui Yundong who was standing upstairs was shocked. This is really a disaster coming from the sky for people sitting at home. I didn’t even leave Liuquan County and I became a prisoner of the imperial court? Don’t think the government made a mistake! Shui Yundong

He quickly went downstairs, and his wife Chen Yingcai shouted from behind, "Master, don't panic, don't conflict with these officials. After all, they are officials, and no matter how rich we are, we are just citizens." Shui Yundong didn't even answer, and replied,

"Don't worry, madam, I know!"

Shui Yundong, who was feeling uneasy, hurried to the front door with his old housekeeper Shui?, and saw a large group of police officers standing outside the door, as well as many officers and soldiers. Judging from the bright armor, they were not the county's garrison. Shui Yundong

Standing firmly on the steps in front of the door, he looked at the two leaders.

The two leading men are both riding tall horses. One of them is wearing a purple brocade robe and has a carved ebony hairpin on his head. He is turning a large jasper finger on his finger with great pride. The other is cross-eyed and about thirty years old.

At this age, he wears the clothes of a guard and carries a single sword on his back. Judging from the degree of energy flow in his body, his martial arts level is not much worse than his own. There are two guards behind them, both of whom are at least the third level.

Lu Congyi, the county's head catcher, also rode a horse and followed the two men with a troubled face. Seeing Shui Yundong walking out of the courtyard, Lu Congyi quietly spread his hands and said that he had nothing to do. Shui Yun

Dong nodded, he just ate this bowl of rice, and he couldn't disobey the orders given by his superiors. After all, he was holding the official bowl. Shui Yun Dongchong, the leader of the two men, cupped their hands and said, "Liuquan County Martial Arts Examination Shui Yundong meets

Pass two officials!"

The head catcher Lu Congyi moved his horse forward and introduced loudly: "Master Shui, these guys are from the Lingnan Palace. This is the Ranger General Zhu Juxian, General Zhu, and this is Ye Huwei from the Palace. These two

They are also the guards of the palace, He Guards and Zhang Guards..."

Zhu Juxian whipped the head catcher Lu Congyi with a whip, which shocked Lu Congyi. Zhu Juxian raised his chin arrogantly and nodded at Lu Congyi, "Who is named Lu, which one here is Master Shui? There are only imperial court officials here.

Fuck Shui Yundong! Are you a little head catcher getting close to an imperial prisoner? You are screwed alive, you want to be executed by the whole family!"

Zhu Juxian humiliated Lu Congyi in public, which was actually a disguised slap in Yundong's face. Lu Congyi's face was so gloomy and scary, he was also a head catcher after all, and the man named Zhu was merciless, in front of all the arrests and onlookers.

Lu Congyi was extremely angry and whipped him in front of him. However, this guy was a general from the palace after all, and he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only protest silently.

Shui Yundong was drunk and asked Zhu Juxian loudly, "You are General Zhu from the Lingnan Palace, right? OK, let me ask you, what crime did I, Shui, commit, and how did I become a prisoner of the imperial court? I am Tangtang

With a background in martial arts, what's wrong with Mr. Lu calling me Lord Shui? Are you going to humiliate him in public?"

Zhu Juxian rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, old man Shui, you're just a prisoner of the imperial court, why are you so arrogant? Don't mention beating him, I will slap you later! Because you are having an affair with an imperial prisoner, I have already reported you.

The prince has stripped you of your fame, and you are now a pariah. Why don't you kneel down when you see me? Huh?" Zhu Juxian also specially lengthened the final sound of the word "hmm".

Shui Yundong was furious in his heart and sneered: "So what if you come from the Lingnan Prince's Palace? Juren cannot be expelled without imperial approval! Although I, Shui Yundong, am only a small juren, I only recognize the emperor's imperial edict! No matter what the prince says,
Chapter completed!
