I followed the deer into the manor, passed through the corridor, and came to the back garden.
The spacious back garden has already been decorated.
Next to the windproof glass room are several rows of seats, which are specially prepared for guests.
In the open space directly opposite, there are three braziers.
Further forward, there is a huge gong and drum tied with red silk.
Next to the gongs and drums, there is a red wooden frame, and on top of the wooden frame is a golden copper basin.
At this time, Zheng Ruhuan was standing aside, talking with a few friends.
When he saw us arriving, he immediately came over, exchanged a few words, and whispered:
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, no matter what happens, no matter how bad it is for me, you should not get involved..."
It was obvious that Zheng Ruhuan already knew something. I immediately asked:
"Why?"
Zheng Ruhuan looked solemn and said slowly:
"Since we are washing our hands in a golden basin, we have to make a break with the past. I will be responsible for all the karma and retribution alone. When I smooth these things out, you can also take over smoothly..."
Zheng Ruhuan has some considerations for me. He doesn't want me to have to bear the grievances he had in the past after taking over. But how can I just watch others make things difficult for him?
While talking, I heard the governor shouting from the porch:
"Brother, sir, sir is here!"
Zheng Ruhuan listened and immediately said:
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, you can't offend me in Bashu. Although there will be a rift between you and me now, remember, you must find an opportunity to mend it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in Bashu..."
I agree with this point. After all, Ge Lao Hui has a history of hundreds of years in Bashu.
Brothers in the association are spread all over the province.
Following Zheng Ruhuan to the door, he saw the elder Huo Yuhan, the second uncle and Zhai Huaiyi walking in from the outside.
As soon as they met, everyone clasped their hands and performed a Jianghu salute.
After exchanging a few words, Huo Yuhan said to Zheng Ruhuan:
"The world is far away. Huo Yuhan, on behalf of his elders, would like to congratulate Boss Zheng on behalf of his brothers and sisters to wash his hands in a golden basin and return to his fields!"
Zheng Ruhuan hurriedly returned the courtesy, and the two exchanged a few words.
Just as he was talking, the governor shouted again:
"Master Sui of the Orchid Sect has arrived!"
Looking back, he saw Sui Jiangwan, dressed in white, walking in from the porch with Su Yuzhu.
Zheng Ruhuan stepped forward and greeted her.
Sui Jiangwan turned her head and met Huo Yuhan's eyes. The two of them were stunned.
"Uncle Huo, long time no see!"
The corners of Sui Jiangwan's mouth raised, revealing a sneer that was hard to detect.
Huo Yuhan's expression suddenly became stern, showing an air of contempt and said:
"It's best not to see you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhan walked directly towards the guests' seats.
It can be felt that Huo Yuhan hates Sui Jiangwan extremely.
Sui Jiangwan looked at Huo Yuhan's back coldly for a while, then said to me:
"You know him, right?"
I nodded.
"Do you know who he is?"
"Brother will be the master!"
"Uncle? Hehe, what kind of uncle is he? Let me tell you, Mello's death has something to do with him!"
I frowned and couldn't help but ask:
"What's the relationship?"
"Have you forgotten? What is the name of the person I asked you to find?"
"Thousand-Handed Jade Fox Huo Yutong!"
"That's his biological sister. I just don't know if the two of them still have contact..."
I'm a little confused, why don't brothers and sisters interact with each other?
Sui Jiangwan did not explain anything and went directly to the guest seat.
There are more and more distinguished guests coming and going, and it is almost time to wash hands in the golden basin.
At this time, Zheng Ruhuan was talking and laughing with the guests, but I could always feel the hidden worry behind his smile.
More and more guests are coming, some of whom I am familiar with, like Qi Lan, Qu Fengmei and others.
I was talking to Qi Lan when I heard the governor shout again:
"Master Yun Dian, Qilu Gambling King Li Jianlu is here!"
Zheng Ruhuan walked to me from the side and followed me to the porch to receive a few people.
Liu Xiaoshou and Li Jianlu walked in, followed by several professional bodyguards.
When I saw Zheng Ruhuan talking to me, Liu Xiaoshou was still smiling.
Putting his left hand on his disabled right hand, he made a quaint salute to Zheng Ruhuan and me and said:
"Congratulations to Boss Zheng for washing his hands and enjoying his old age!"
After a few polite words, Li Jianlu looked at me and smiled sinisterly.
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, there are still some accounts between us that have not yet been settled!"
He was referring to the bad things about Mr. Wu. I replied to him coldly:
“Always welcome!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jianlu snorted, and he and Liu Xiaoshou found a place to sit down.
The governor came over and said to Zheng Ruhuan:
"Master Zheng, the auspicious time is coming, let's get ready to start?"
Zheng Ruhuan let out a long sigh, looked at all the guests, and then said slowly:
"Okay! Let's begin!"
The governor slowly walked to the stage, picked up the gong hammer, and struck the gongs and drums hard.
With a "dang" sound, the huge garden immediately became silent.
The governor then shouted loudly:
"Get up!"
As soon as the voice fell, two teams of young men in short black clothes ran over in neat steps and stood on both sides of the Yong Road.
Zheng Ruhuan also put on a black Tang suit and stood solemnly aside.
