It was late at night and there was no view. Xia Shang followed the doorman through the layers of bamboo barriers, and then passed a stream passing through the bamboo, and then he saw a manor surrounded by bamboo fences.
After entering the door, the doorman didn't stop and still led the way quickly, as if he wanted to find a place to rest after completing the task.
Finally, he sent Xia Shang outside a bamboo house, then turned around and saluted Xia Shang: "My master is inside, please come in by yourself."
After that, the doorman took the lantern and left.
The bamboo house in front of us is not big, and there is light spilling out of the window, which shows that there are still people inside who are not sleeping.
Xia Shang arrived at the door and whispered: "Xia Chunqiu, a merchant from Yangzhou, came here to pay a special visit."
"Mr. Xia, I have been waiting for a long time, please come in."
A slightly handsome male voice came from inside the house, and his voice was extremely pleasant.
Xia Shang pushed the door open and walked in. Inside a small bamboo house of more than ten square meters, there were tables and chairs placed opposite the door. The oil lamp was on on the table, and a petite man was sitting at the table.
This man was dressed like a scholar and looked somewhat elegant. He turned around when he saw Xia Shang entering the room.
Looking at this man's face, Xia Shang couldn't help but be startled. He actually looked a bit similar to Xian'er.
"You are the master of Bihaiqingtian? I don't know how to call you?"
"Everyone calls me Mr. Luo."
"Mr. Luo." Xia Shang clasped his fists, but felt a little weird in his heart. He was a young master, but he wanted to call himself sir.
Mr. Luo waved his hand and motioned for Xia Shang to take a seat. Xia Shang was not polite and went up to sit down.
After sitting down, Xia Shang asked first: "I heard that Mr. Luo has been waiting for Xia for a long time. I wonder why Mr. Luo knew that I would come?"
"There are no secrets in Suzhou City. If Mr. Xia pays more attention, you will know that Suzhou City is actually the world of the White Clothes Sect. And naturally, every move of the Young Master cannot be hidden from the White Clothes Sect."
Xia Shang was shocked. It turned out that the other party did not know his whereabouts through calculation. Has the White Clothes Sect really developed to such an extent in Suzhou that his every move is under the control of the other party?
"Young Master Xia, don't be alarmed. We don't mean any harm. It's just that we, the White Sect, will keep an eye on every stranger who enters Suzhou. And Young Master Xia is someone that my little sister values so I naturally have to pay more attention to him."
"Little sister?"
"This is the fairy that the young master is looking for."
"Are you Xian'er's brother?"
"Exactly."
"No wonder they are so similar. Where is Xian'er?"
Mr. Luo smiled: "I don't want Xian'er to see you because I don't want Xian'er to be involved in too many emotions. Mr. Xia, do you understand?"
"Emotions? What emotions?"
Mr. Luo's expression was strange. He paused and then frowned and said, "I heard Xian'er say that when she was in Yangzhou, she and the young master were friends in times of need. Don't they have any feelings at all?"
"What does this have to do with our conversation? Mr. Luo, I don't like to mince words. I hope you can speak frankly."
Mr. Luo frowned slightly: "Mr. Xia, have you ever considered joining the White Clothes Sect? After all, Xian'er is a member of the White Clothes Sect. I don't want her to..."
"Wait!" Xia Shang interrupted in a deep voice, "I am here to see Xian'er this time, and I have no intention of talking about anything else. If Miss Xian'er wants to see me, let her come out. If she doesn't want to see me,
I'll leave right now."
“Mr.
This is the first time that Jingshen is so careful with others. Xian'er also does it for Gongzi's good. If the young master joins the Baiyi Sect, with the young master's talent, it can be said that he will be able to win everything, even if he collects beauties from all over the world.
Impossible!"
"Since you are Xian'er's brother, you should protect Xian'er well instead of letting him roam around in a cult and harm others. Although Xian'er has a perverse temperament, fortunately he has a true temperament, dares to love and hate, and can still
Even if you have gone astray, you have not gone far. I advise you to let Xian'er know when he has gone astray, otherwise it will be too late for him to regret it."
"Young Master Xia keeps saying that the White Clothes Sect is a cult, but what evidence is there? And why do you have the right to say that joining the White Clothes Sect is going astray?"
Xia Shang replied coldly: "I have heard about all the evil things the White Clothes Sect has done in Suzhou. They confuse the people, raise women privately, and do whatever it takes to develop. Are these all the right ways?"
"Hahahaha..." After hearing this, Mr. Luo burst out laughing, "I didn't expect Mr. Xia to say such childish words based on his knowledge. What you said was learned from other people's mouths, but have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"
Have you seen it? Besides, there are not many people in the world who deceive the people. If you want to say that the one who is best at deceiving and bewitching the world is the current imperial court? Then why can’t the bandits in Taihu Lake be eliminated? Isn’t it because the officials and bandits collude, and the imperial court turns a blind eye?
Close one eye, but insist on saying that banditry is rampant and difficult to eradicate.
The world seems to be peaceful and changing with each passing day, but in fact how many people are suffering, does the young master himself know? Among those who joined the White Clothes Sect, who has not seen through the darkness of the world and cannot rise up to fight back? What does it mean to raise a private woman?
?Did you know that there is an organization called the Metropolitan Procuratorate under the imperial court, and there is a Chunfang Division in it. The women in it are privately raised by the imperial court. At the beginning of the period, these women were used to monitor the ministers of the court to prevent them from being disobedient.
My heart. All the things the Young Master said were all done by the imperial court. If these are evil ways, may I ask whether the imperial court is righteous or evil?"
"So what? If what you said is true, one day when I have full wings, even if the imperial court has a root cause, I will cure it for the imperial court. But now if there is a problem with your Baiyi Sect, if I am convinced that you have done many things that are against the law.
Regarding the affairs of heaven, even if Xian'er blocks it in front of me, I will do what I should do. As for me now, except for myself, my family and my friends, I don't care about anything else."
"You don't even care about the seventeen women you brought from Yangzhou?"
Hearing this, Xia Shang was startled and saw Mr. Luo getting up and opening the door.
Through the door, Xia Shang saw several torches set up outside the house at some point, illuminating a large area outside the house.
Under the firelight, there seemed to be shadows moving around, and a woman's voice could be faintly heard.
Xia Shang stood up and took a look, and found a group of women standing outside. He couldn't see clearly due to the light and distance.
"Mr. Xia, let's get closer and take a closer look."
Xia Shang went out. As the distance got closer and closer, Xia Shang gradually recognized these women.
Isn’t it the batch I brought from Yangzhou?
At the same time, the girls all recognized Xia Shang, and each of them embraced him with surprise.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Master..."
Xia Shang couldn't believe it and rubbed his eyes: "You... are you all okay?"
The girls were also very excited when they saw Xia Shang, and some of them began to wipe away tears: "Thank you, Master, for caring about me. All the girls in our group are safe and sound."
At this time, Mr. Luo whispered behind Xia Shang: "These are the illegitimate women that the young master said. Can you see if our white-clothed sect has touched a single hair on their hair? Instead of arguing with the young master, it is better to let the young master see it."
Look at the reality and think about what our White Sect is like?" (To be continued)
