He took out a silver coin and put it in front of Qingpi's eyes. He probably thought it was a bit too much. With a pinch of his fingers, the silver coin was neatly cut in half, as if it had been pinched by silver scissors. The cross section was as smooth as a mirror.
This made Qingpi immediately realize who he had met, a person who could decide his life or death in an instant, a person who could throw him into prison and no one would dare to save him, and a person who would benefit if he cooperated!
This silver coin is the beginning. Whether he can get it or even get more depends on his subsequent performance.
Hou Zi smiled slightly and asked, "What's your last name?"
Qingpi said without hesitation, "My surname is Sha, Shagua."
This guy is not stupid. Hou Zi got straight to the point, "How much do you know about Wen Mansion and the Wen family?"
Sha Gua is worthy of being a promiscuous person. Countless pictures immediately appeared in his mind: a gangster? A government official? A cultivator?
But he wouldn't ask these questions. It might be safer if he didn't know anything about this person.
"What do you mean, are the conflicts within the clan after the death of the old uncle of the Wen family? Dirty factions? Infighting? Property division? Resource inheritance? Change of power?"
Hou Zi smiled with satisfaction, this is the advantage of this kind of people, they can always meet your different requirements, no matter how big or small, everything is available.
After drinking this pot of tea for two full hours, Hou Zi was satisfied and Agua was relieved.
He found a nearby inn and settled down, and decided to visit the Wen Mansion in a few days; it was difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, he was not an upright official, and the Wen family was still a wealthy family...
After a night of silence, the next day, rumors began to spread in the market. It was said that a friend of Wen Taoist when he was still alive brought a large number of treasures to pay homage to an old favor, and by the way, he supported the next generation of the Wen family to ascend to power, etc.
.
In the next few days, such rumors became more and more outrageous and exaggerated. Some said that the Wen Dao people's friends were rich and powerful, and some said that the treasures were originally kept by the Wen Dao people and were released elsewhere for fear of disputes among the people below.
, various and numerous.
Sanjiang Prefecture is a prefecture under Guangchuan Prefecture. There is no Taoist palace, but there are practitioners. Their levels are very limited and their eyesight is shallow. Whether it is true or not, there are quite a few people who believe it. There are many more people who believe it.
People who take a piece of the pie and take advantage of others.
Suddenly, an undercurrent surged, and more and more people came in and out of Wen Mansion, and some of them were obviously cultivators.
Three days later, Hou Zi paid his respects to Wen Jing and wrote that he was Wen Jing's friend. There was no such possibility of their age difference, but in the world of cultivation, one cannot simply judge a person's age by his appearance.
It's not that he wants to take advantage of anyone, but it will save a lot of trouble if he does this. He needs a reasonable identity, otherwise the current Wen family probably hates people interfering in their housework.
Those with vested interests hope that the rules will continue, and those on the verge of collapse hope to get a chance to make a comeback, but none of this can be solved with a sword.
He was welcomed into the ancestral hall, and there was a large crowd of dark people, all of whom had glaring eyes and glaring eyes, as if he was a walking cornucopia. Of course he didn't recognize these people, but because of Wen's huge family fortune, these two
There has been no result from the quarrel in the past month. They are all gathered here. Without a definite result, no one will leave.
The acting patriarch was a trembling old man who struggled to walk. Someone helped him to stand in front of him.
"I have met Shangxiu, but I don't know what his surname is and which sect he comes from?"
Hou Zi glanced at him and knew that the current acting patriarch of the Wen clan was just a puppet and could not decide anything at all. The most important reason why he was chosen as the acting patriarch, apart from his good-natured character, was that he was old and could die well.
soon.
He ignored him, but instead offered a note of incense on the memorial tablet and muttered a few incomprehensible words. Yu Zhengxing was his respected elder, and this literary Taoist was Master Yu's uncle.
If you are a close friend, you should show some courtesy and respect.
Then he turned around and said, "Who am I and where do I come from? You don't need to ask any more questions. I came here this time just to review the old agreement and see if the Wen family has any material that can be used. I will leave the sacrifice and leave."
"
He looks young, but no one wants to question him. It's not for anything else, just for the legendary windfall.
The Wen family has a big business, but the expenses are also high. There are hundreds of people gathered in this big house now, and they may not be able to hold on for a long time. When there are literary people around, Sanjiang Mansion can still handle several profitable businesses, but
Now that the thigh is broken, who among the competitors will look at the face of a dead man?
This is the last chance to make money. If you miss today, I'm afraid there will never be such a victim again.
No matter what the occasion is, I take out a treasure gourd and pour it on the table, leaving behind a dazzling array of pearls, spiritual stones, treasures, all kinds of spiritual things, and of course, yellow and white things in the world, which makes people dizzy.
He reached back and put the things back, lifted up his belt, and like a nouveau riche, revealed eight small and exquisite treasure gourds hanging on it.
"I heard that there are thirteen veins in the direct branch of the Wen family? It's really a good life and prosperity! So, I have eight treasure gourds here, and I don't bother to pour them out to distinguish them one by one. One gourd counts as one. You can think of a way for yourself.
, let’s see how to distribute it.”
The knowledgeable people below all shook their heads. In ancient times, two peaches killed three people, but now eight gourds can kill thirteen people?
Some people are very reluctant, "I heard that what the Taoist monks brought was the belongings deposited by my ancestors? In this case, why not give these belongings to us to distribute among ourselves?"
Taoist friends who have traveled thousands of miles to fulfill their promises are said to be righteous in the world and should be passed down as good stories; but it is not appropriate for outsiders to deal with family matters, or is it safer to resolve them internally?"
Hou Zi was unmoved, "It's in my hands, so of course it's up to me to decide. It's very enlightened to let you make your own decision. If you really let go, you won't be able to turn into a pot of porridge?"
The Wen family members are a little dissatisfied, especially some of the more powerful ones. The Wen family is a cultivating family, and although Wenjing is the only monk who has Tongxuan, there are quite a few cultivators below, including seven.
Eight, plus a dozen foreign cultivators found from nowhere, the formation is not small.
They may not be able to guess Hou Zi's age, but the realm cannot be hidden from anyone. Even a person in the Bigu realm dares to speak shamelessly here. I respect you because you brought back wealth, but not everyone has to listen to you.
, this is my duty.
Now that you have entered the Wen family, are you still allowed to be so presumptuous?
Someone looked slightly sideways, and a bigu practitioner got his instructions, shook his body out, and made a fierce look.
"That Taoist man doesn't know what's good or bad. Once the things are delivered, I have nothing to do with you anymore. If you listen to my good words and advice, you can still gain some friendship from Mr. Wen. If you keep your kindness to yourself, I'm afraid you will fall into trouble today."
As he spoke and gestured, he was about to come up and pull; he was still a little wary and kept a certain reaction distance. He didn't really want to do anything, but mainly threatened and frightened.
Unexpectedly, when he stretched out his hand, a flash of sword light flashed, and one hand was severed at the wrist! He was also a ruthless person in the circle of cultivators, and he did not feel pain. The other hand was about to touch his waist, but he quickly
However, with the sword light, the other hand was also completely broken!
The man was very tough. He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes angrily, "If you have the ability, kill me today and see if you can get out of this house?"
The sword flashed again, and the head fell to the ground.
He flicked the sword back into its sheath and said, "I am the most fair person! Since I came here as promised, how can I let it go?"
... Go and live wherever you know, and you will be able to move with a single sword. Even if you kill people, you should take the right approach, but you should love fairness in your affairs.
