Liang Yan watched Yun Xuzi leave, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but after a moment, he just sighed slightly.
He has been following Yun Xuzi for almost twenty days. During these twenty days, he has tried all kinds of methods and methods, but he has never been able to force the poison out of his body. For this, he can only secretly lament the methods of Master Zhuji.
extraordinary.
Yun Xuzi was so confident about him that he even let him walk around the city alone. He was obviously sure that he could not detoxify, so he must not dare to escape.
However, Liang Yan is optimistic. Since he can't do anything about the current situation, he simply lets it go. Anyway, Yun Xuzi still has something to use him for, so it won't be detrimental to him for a while.
Seeing that Yun Xuzi had disappeared, Liang Yan moved his steps, climbed down from the city wall, and landed lightly in Mingyi City.
At this time, night falls. Although it is cold in the depths of winter, Mingyi City is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights everywhere. Various lanterns are hung on both sides of the streets. There is an endless flow of people and it is very lively.
"Could it be that tonight is a lantern festival here?"
After all, Liang Yan had a young mind. When he saw the streets brightly lit and bustling, he couldn't help but get interested and walked alone among the bustling crowds.
"Let's guess the lantern riddles, guess the lantern riddles, and you'll be polite if you guess the right one!"
Liang Yan stopped at a stall and saw a short, chubby boss looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Brother, I see that your heaven is full and full, and your temperament is elegant and easy-going. You look like a person who has read poetry and books. How about guessing a lantern riddle? It only costs ten pieces of paper once, and the prizes are very generous!"
Liang Yan glanced at the prize area and saw that they were all calligraphy, painting, calligraphy and the like, as well as the Four Treasures of the Study, most of which were of high quality. However, he didn't care about these in the first place. He just came here to have fun, so he smiled slightly and said:
"Then let's take a guess."
He took out ten copper coins from his sleeve and threw it to the stall owner. He then reached out and took out a lantern hanging on the string. He saw the words on the lantern: Don't be impulsive.
"Not impulsive?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly, while the pudgy boss said with a kind smile: "Just because I'm not impulsive, guess the name of an emperor from the previous dynasty."
"this"
Liang Yan secretly smiled bitterly. He was not from the Zhao Kingdom in the first place. He was just brought to the Zhao Kingdom from the Yue Kingdom by an old monk. How could he know who the previous emperors of the Zhao Kingdom were.
Upon seeing this, the short and fat stall owner took out an hourglass with a smile on his face and said: "If the sand leaks out, this guessing game will be considered a failure."
"Okay, I can't guess. I'll give you another ten coins. Just tell me the correct answer!" Liang Yan waved his hand and said directly.
The smile on the boss's face became even wider, and his small eyes were squeezed into slits. He nodded hurriedly and said: "Of course it is, of course!"
Just when he accepted Liang Yan's copper coins and was about to tell his answer, there was suddenly a burst of noise from the other end of the street, and the crowd around him surged towards that direction.
Liang Yan turned his head to look, a faint blue light filling his eyes. After a moment, a strange look appeared on his face, and he followed the flow of people around him and walked towards the source of the sound.
"It's so strange in this world that someone is dragged out and paraded through the streets at night!" someone from the surrounding crowd commented.
"Yeah, I don't know who was the unlucky one, or what kind of immoral thing he did." Someone else echoed next to him.
Liang Yan followed their gazes and looked forward, and saw a team of more than ten people. Two of them were dragging a trailer. There was a wooden cage on the trailer, and a handsome scholar was sitting in it.
This scholar has a handsome face, is dressed in white Confucian clothes, and has a brocade robe and jade belt around his waist. He looks like a romantic and talented man. However, he has an abacus hanging on his waist, which is incompatible with his elegant and suave image.
His hands were tied behind his back at the moment, and his whole body was covered with melon rinds and fruit husks. It was obvious that he had been beaten, scolded and tortured a lot along the way. However, he seemed to not care at all, and even stared at the people around him and laughed.
I wonder if the onlookers are watching his joke, or he is laughing at the onlookers?
"Dear fellow villagers, this man is a debauched man, and he actually seduced my young lady at night. You must know that my young lady is pure and pure, and she is already engaged to the prince of the Wang family. This man is so shameless. According to the rules of our ancestors, he has to walk around the streets and soak in the water.
Pig cage!”
"Bah! Shameless!"
"This kind of person deserves to die!"
Many people in the crowd echoed, and some even threw eggs, banana peels and the like at him, but most people still looked at the fun and pointed at him from time to time.
"Haha, Miss Lin family was born with a beautiful country, talent and talent, but such an outstanding daughter wants to marry the idiot son of the Wang family. If it is not a waste of natural resources, what is it?" The scholar in the cage didn't care about the people around him, but smiled on his face.
said.
"What did you say?"
A fat man in the team shouted angrily. Everyone turned around and saw that this man had a chubby figure, a lot of fat on his face, and a bit of chin at the corner of his mouth, giving him a look of dementia.
Everyone knew without asking that this man must be the "bastard son" in the scholar's mouth, and they all burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at! What are you laughing at!"
The servants of the Wang family stepped forward and shouted: "Lin, the marriage of the Wang family has been arranged long ago by the previous generation. Our Wang family has a great business, how can we humiliate the Lin family?"
At this time, the scholar in the cage sighed and said seriously:
"Have you, the previous generation, ever considered Miss Lin Yan's own thoughts about the marriage? She is not a talented scholar, but she is determined to save thousands of lost girls like Miss Lin Yan and bring them out of the sea of misery. This is not a good thing.
Even if the scholar is shattered to pieces, he should not forget his original intention and continue on this path firmly."
Liang Yan smiled in the crowd. He was obviously trying to attract someone else's daughter, but he made it sound as if he was performing great merit.
"However, although this person seems absurd and unruly, he is actually a real cultivator, and he is at the seventh level of Qi training!"
Liang Yan has the Hun Gong, so he can easily see through other people's cultivation. However, due to the Tianji Pearl, ordinary monks of the same level cannot see through his realm.
"You shameless person, you are still talking nonsense like this." Everyone in the Wang family looked angry, and some rolled up their sleeves as if they were going to beat him.
"Why should the in-laws be angry!" said a member of the Lin family on the side: "This man is full of fallacies, so what's the point of arguing with him? I'll put him in a pig cage later and see how he can confuse the public with his evil talk!"
"It's over, it's over! Dipping a pig cage can kill people!"
The scholar in the cage showed fear for the first time, and said with a fierce face: "Since I can't protect myself, I don't care about the rules of the world. Wang, if you are in the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being in the fifteenth year! I will
You asked me to reveal all the good things I did!"
"What good thing? What did I ask you to do? Don't talk nonsense here!" the fat man named Wang yelled angrily.
"Hmph, didn't you ask me to seduce Miss Lin Yan back then? You said that the Lin family is now in a state of decline, and that finger-tip marriage was a foolish thing of the previous generation. The current Lin family is not worthy of your Wang family. You want me
Ruin Miss Lin Yan’s reputation so that you can legitimately break off the engagement!"
"Nonsense! When did I tell you such a thing?" Fatty Wang's face turned red.
"Hmph, you are just talking nonsense here when you are about to die. Do you think I will believe it?" A tall middle-aged man from the Lin family also frowned.
"Don't believe it!" The scholar said anxiously: "Come here, I will only tell you this!"
The middle-aged man from the Lin family was doubtful and approached the scholar. The scholar leaned forward and whispered something in his ear.
But even though the voice was soft, how could it be hidden from Liang Yan's ears and eyes.
Liang Yan was secretly working on his gangster skills, and only heard the scholar say:
"Fat Wang secretly said that you are old and disrespectful, don't know how to work hard and make progress, and just want to be rich with your daughter. In order not to be dragged down by your Lin family, you specially invited me to act in this play. He has even written the divorce letter. You
If you don’t believe it, look at this.”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it into the hands of the elderly Lin family members. He also said: "You also know that I am a gentleman in Liang Shang. I specially reserved this hand for self-protection."
The elderly man in the Lin family unfolded the paper and took a closer look. His face immediately changed color and he said, "It is indeed that bastard's note!"
He turned to Fatty Wang and angrily yelled: "Wang, you are going too far! Back then, your grandfather was just a fish seller. If it weren't for my father's help, would your family be as prosperous as it is today? I didn't expect that you guys didn't know this.
We are grateful, but they think of ways to humiliate us, what a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"
Fatty Wang was inexplicably scolded by him, and he couldn't help but angrily said: "Lin, what are you talking about? I don't even look at your family's current virtues. We, the Wang family, don't care about your poor settlement, but you are kicking your nose in the face?"
"Fuck you white-eyed wolf!"
"Ouch!"
I don't know who made the first move, and the two families instantly got into a fight, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
In fact, the Lin and Wang families have long had a quarrel. Their grandparents used to have a life-long friendship, but they both died young.
In the following decades, the Wang family prospered, while the Lin family declined, and a gap developed unconsciously, but they never openly broke up.
At this time, the scholar secretly provoked, which was like a spark igniting a dry firewood. The two families vented their grievances accumulated for many years, punching and kicking each other, and many servants fought together.
In the chaos, the two servants fought near the prison car and happened to pass by the scholar.
The scholar was looking at the sky and whistling when he suddenly stretched out a leg from the wooden cage and tripped the man who was fighting to the ground.
The key flies away.
The key drew an arc in mid-air and landed in the wooden prison. The scholar reached out to take the key, leisurely took off the handcuffs in his hands, opened the wooden prison, and got out with a short body.
At this time, everyone in the two families was already blushing and neck-deep from the beating, and the onlookers were also excited, trying to stop the fight and applauding, but no one paid any attention to this person who was supposed to be a "prisoner".
The scholar patted his clothes, removed the peel and eggshells on them, and looked elegant again. Then he put his hands behind his back, swayed slightly, and disappeared into the crowd.
"What a great way to drive away wolves and tigers!"
Liang Yan knew clearly from the onlookers that although this man was a monk, he did not use any force. He actually solved the trouble for himself with just a few words. As for the divorce note, it was certainly a forgery by the scholar.
