Chapter 76: I'm Not Interested in the Mistress's Wife
In Yun'an City, the wind is warm and the sun is beautiful.
The warm summer sun shines on the eaves of Mingyu Tower, and the breeze blows the wind chimes at the corners of the eaves, making a soft and ethereal sound:
Ding bell~~Ding bell~~~
A white screen is placed in the window to block the sun. In the resplendent study room, the woman in the python robe is sitting with her back straight. There is an open book on the desk in front of her. In front of her is a pen mountain made of gold and jade. There is a white porcelain tea cup at her hand. The whole
She looks like a cold female CEO working hard in the summer.
The only disharmonious thing was that the jade-white cheeks showed a strange color from time to time. I quickly turned the page of the book and skipped the illustrations...
The study was silent for an unknown amount of time, when a gust of wind suddenly drifted into the room, and the white-haired old woman landed silently in front of Dongfang Liren's desk.
Dongfang Liren was startled because he was so elusive that he didn't say hello. He quickly closed the book and hid it behind his back, looking slightly unhappy.
"Your Highness, Li Huai from Xiwang Town rushed to send news overnight, saying that Ye Jingtang was assassinated by Blood Bodhi, Heart-gouging Hand Chen Ming, and Seven-Foot Spear Lu Ruan together last night..."
"Um?!"
Dongfang Liren, who had always remained calm when a mountain collapsed in front of him, his eyelashes twitched when he heard this, and all the books behind him fell to the ground. He stood up and his eyes were filled with anger:
"How could it be...what happened to Night Terror Hall?!"
The white-haired old woman felt that Prince Jing was tense and responded quickly:
"Li Huai visited the young master who spent the night, nothing serious happened."
"call……"
Dongfang Liren was relieved and patted the desk:
"These thieves are really brave. With my king's order, they asked Jinjiang County Governor to mobilize 8,000 armed guards and surrounded Xiwang Town for me. If they can't catch the thieves, they can bring them to the meeting..."
The white-haired old woman raised her hand slightly to signal Prince Jing to calm down:
"No need. Blood Bodhi, Chen Ming, and Lu Ruan all died at the hands of Ye Jingtang last night. The bodies of both of them were beaten, and Blood Bodhi was beheaded..."
"Um?"
Dongfang Liren was stunned for a moment, a little baffled:
"How is it possible for an old master and two first-class gangsters...it doesn't seem impossible."
Thinking of the terrifying potential of Night Terror Hall, Dongfang Liren felt relieved again.
"According to Mr. Ye's own statement, he discovered the whereabouts of the thief in advance and succeeded in the sneak attack. With Mr. Ye's background and sword skills, Chen Ming and Lu Ruan are no match for him. Blood Bodhi was seriously injured last time, so it is not impossible to accomplish this feat.
.”
Dongfang Liren nodded slowly, remained silent for a moment, and then said coldly:
"After several years of investigation, we still haven't found out the ins and outs of the Green Bandit. I and the people around me have been assassinated one after another. Isn't it true that the Hei Yamen support so many people for free? Let them investigate."
"yes."
Baifa Diting turned around and was about to leave, but found that the book had fallen to the ground. He wanted to bend down and help Prince Jing pick it up, but as soon as he raised his hand...
The breeze blew through the pages of the book, revealing the exquisite illustrations...
??
The white-haired old woman took back her hand, pretending she didn't see anything, and floated out of the room like a ghostly shadow.
Dongfang Liren was thinking about the feats of the Night Terror Hall, but he really didn't pay attention. When the white-haired old woman left, he found that the "Tears of the Heroic Girl" on the table was missing. He searched back and forth, his face froze, and he quickly picked up the book to make up for it.
Here comes the sentence:
"Ahem... Your Majesty wants to read this book, so I can review and annotate it first."
"I understand."
…
-----
The sky is getting brighter, the rain along both sides of the river is gradually decreasing, and it will probably clear up in the afternoon.
Koi Street has returned to calm, and the craftsmen hired are cleaning up the damaged streets.
In a teahouse in Xiwang Town.
Ye Jingtang sat on the couch with fruits and snacks beside him, and Niao Niu squatted beside him and was responsible for eating.
Pei Xiangjun was leaning on the other side of the tea table, listening to the storyteller talk about past events in an old-fashioned tone.
Next to her was a young girl wearing a veil, playing a Jiangzhou tune with her pipa in her arms.
Dong dong dong~~
"It is said that the sun, moon, darkness and wind were high, and Mr. Fu walked alone outside the Qixuan Sect..."
What the storyteller was talking about was the assassination of the Qixuanmen Grandmaster by Blood Bodhi. At that time, the incident was widely spread in the world, but decades later, few people remember it.
The storyteller is talking about this today, naturally because the notorious Blood Bodhi died in Xiwang Town last night.
After Ye Jingtang bandaged the injury last night, he took the head and the sign given by Prince Jing to find the head catcher of the black yamen on duty here.
This move was not for the huge bounty on the heads of the three gangsters.
The Green Bandit wanted to kill Prince Jing. He was called upon because he had protected Prince Jing. Now that the assassin has been eliminated, if no one was told about the "murder without leaving a name", wouldn't he be assassinated in vain?
Report it directly to Heiya, and Prince Jing will remember his contribution, which will be of great benefit to saving Chou Tianhe in the future and even observing the 'Jade Bone Picture'.
Now that everything has been settled, he is quite free.
There are many trivial matters in Honghua Building, such as north-south business scheduling, industrial development direction, etc. It takes at least three to five days to complete the discussion.
Night Terror Hall's job is to be the 'double red stick' in the gang. He has a white paper fan to think about this kind of thing. It's not his turn to waste his brain. He can rest for the next few days.
As the headmistress, Sanniang was supposed to go to the meeting, but he was injured. Sanniang was afraid that he would get into trouble or get bored while walking around alone on the street, so she stayed with him.
Goulan listens to music and has the pretty female boss waiting beside him. To be honest, it's a bit arrogant. According to the gang rules, I'm afraid I'll be 'castrated'.
Ye Jingtang declined, but Sanniang was bored sitting in the conference room, so she came anyway.
At this time, Pei Xiangjun was leaning on the tea table, skillfully cooking Yuqian Yinfeng from Jiangzhou in the tea tray. There was also a beauty fan in his hand, and his posture was quite elegant.
Pei Xiangjun couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ye Jingtang sitting with his back straight and looking at the old storyteller with bright eyes:
"Jingtang, you usually listen to music so well?"
Ye Jingtang picked up the small tea bowl handed over and took a sip:
"It's a little uncomfortable on my back and it's inconvenient to lean on."
Pei Xiangjun's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he gestured to the Pipa girl playing music in the distance:
"Would you like to call me over and use me as a pillow for you? I heard that men are like this outside."
Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly and signaled Sanniang to lower her voice:
"That's a naughty hall, you can listen and touch it at the same time. This place is a vegetarian hall, you can't mess around."
Pei Xiangjun snorted faintly: "You know very clearly? It's not that you don't want to listen and touch at the same time, but it's not allowed in this place?"
"grumble."
The birds nod like garlic.
Ye Jingtang rubbed the head of the nagging Bird and changed the topic:
"Why did Blood Bodhi go and kill the leader of Qixuan Sect?"
Pei Xiangjun held up the side of his face with his hands, patted his chest with a fan, and explained casually:
"There are many sects in Jianghu in Tiannan, and they are very complicated. It is said that the reason is because Master Fu killed a gangster in the past, and he did not kill the gangster in order to uphold the morality of the gangster. As a result, the gangster's son grew up and accumulated a lot of money in business.
He hired Blood Bodhi to take revenge... There are endless grievances in the world. This kind of thing is too common, but most people can't take revenge..."
When Pei Xiangjun said this, he suddenly remembered something and said again:
"Toad Palace Goddess, have you heard of her?"
Ye Jingtang held the tea table with his arm and helped Sanniang pour tea:
"I heard that the former most beautiful woman in the world married the leader of Pingtian."
"The life experience of the Goddess of Toad Palace is similar to this. It is said that she is a young lady from a Jiangzhou Jianghu family. As a result, her enemies came over and many people in her family were killed or injured. In order to take revenge, she went around looking for famous teachers. She even looked for Honghua Tower, but she couldn't find them.
The Pingtian Sect was the last one to go and became the wife of the leader. She probably wanted to use the power of the Pingtian Sect to avenge her, but unfortunately nothing happened..."
"Pingtian Cult Leader only cheats and doesn't do anything?"
"Pingtian Cult Leader is invincible under the mountain. He is a true hero. How can he be unfaithful? If he doesn't help avenge him, he is simply unbeatable."
"Can't beat it?"
Ye Jingtang picked up the pine nuts that Niaoniao had managed to push away and threw them into his mouth:
"I'm already invincible, but I still can't beat him? Who is the opponent?"
"Zen Master Shenchen of Qianfo Temple in Shazhou, one of the two saints. The enemy of the Goddess of Toad Palace, somehow had an epiphany, put down his butcher knife and converted to Buddhism, and was accepted by Zen Master Shenchen as his disciple. Goddess of Toad Palace wanted to kill people in Qianfo Temple, but they would definitely not
I will agree, no matter how powerful Pingtian’s leader is, he can’t reason with the real gods.”
When Ye Jingtang heard this, he shook his head and said: "What a destructive immortal, you can wash away your grudges by putting down your butcher knife. Then I will destroy the Thousand Buddha Temple another day and convert to Buddhism. I'll see if he accepts it or not."
Pei Xiangjun shrugged slightly: "We can't understand the thoughts of these enlightened people. If you sincerely repent, they may really forgive you."
Ye Jingtang was shaken by Niao Niu holding his sleeve in his mouth. He raised his hand and rubbed it to comfort him. He stopped talking about this boring topic and asked instead:
"How beautiful is the Toad Palace Goddess?"
When Pei Xiangjun heard this, he straightened his posture a bit, waved his fan slightly, and glanced at the Night Terror Hall with charming eyes:
"very interested?"
"How can I be interested if the famous flower has an owner? I'm just curious. I don't think there is any beauty in the world who can be more beautiful than Sanniang, right Niaoniao?"
"Ji." The bird spread its wings and gestured - the sky is big and the earth is big, not even as big as Sanniang!
Pei Xiangjun was very pleased with the compliment, and of course she was quite confident. She said casually:
"When the Goddess of the Toad Palace was fifteen or sixteen, she ran around in the world, and her beauty was naturally famous all over the world. I have been the eldest daughter of the Pei family since my fifteenth and sixteenth years, and I never leave the house or step out. If I run around like her..."
Pei Xiangjun wanted to say, "What else can happen to her?", but he was arrogant, so he changed his words and said modestly:
"It should also give you some good reputation. If you want to meet the Toad Palace Goddess, you should be able to do so soon."
"Really? Haha... The goddesses of the Toad Palace are already married, so I'm not even remotely interested..."
"Hmph~ Just keep your mouth strong. Don't look at me and you won't be able to turn your eyes away..."
