The noisy suona sounded and the sound of firecrackers reached my ears. The wedding team of the Guan family just welcomed the bride back. Outside the door, a group of ragged beggars and children watching the excitement rushed to the door to beg for lottery tickets. The steward happily grabbed a handful of money from a basket covered with red cloth and scattered it. came out, attracting a rush from the crowd.
The hall was crowded. Guan Shanyue and his wife and his in-laws Liu Nanting and his wife were sitting on sandalwood chairs. Cao Kui smiled and said: "The auspicious time has come. Let the bride and groom bow to heaven and earth." The groom Guan Xiaofeng and Miss Liu's family bowed to the door. Cao Kui said again: "Second bow to the high hall." The newlyweds bowed to the four elders above the high hall.
Guan Shanyue's face was red and beaming with joy. But Mrs. Liu, the mother-in-law, had tears in her eyes. Most married daughters would inevitably feel sentimental or cry with joy. After the young couple pays their respects, the bride is led to the new house by the accompanying maid.
Guan Shanyue took a glass of wine handed by his servant and said: "Today is Quanzi's wedding. You have come all the way to show off Guan's face. Let's have a glass of wine and express our feelings. Please." He raised his head and took a sip. Drink up the wine.
There was a roar of joy among the heroes. Wu Yingxiong, the second in command of the Three Great Masters of Taihang, was a funny person and hurriedly interjected: "A glass of this thin wine is not enough. I want to drink a thick wine." The heroes couldn't help but smile, knowing that he would be indispensable for making witty remarks in such an occasion. , without any obstruction. Guan Xiaofeng smiled and said: "The glass of wine that daddy offered is naturally a bit thin, so I can offer Uncle Wu another glass."
Wu Yingxiong rolled his eyes and said, "No, I told you to drink a lot of wine today, but you can't get it out. Don't blame Uncle Wu for falling out." Cao Kui walked up to him with a smile, reached out and touched his belly and said : "There is plenty of wine, but I'm afraid Wu Daxia's stomach is not enough to show off."
Wu Yingxiong pushed his hand away and said: "I, Wu Laoer, only drink heavy wine today. I don't have anything in Daguan or Xiaoguan. So I'm going to be very disappointed." At this time, Xiao Yunfan came out of the crowd. He walked out and said with a smile: "No, no, it's just a glass of thick wine. I'll get some for you if I don't know."
Wu Yingxiong opened his eyes and said, "Seriously, then find me a thick glass of wine to try. If you can't get it, Wu Laoer will get angry and tell you to suffer." Xiao Yunfan said, "If I get it, I wonder how many kilograms Wu Daxia can drink?"
Wu Yingxiong said: "Then you get a kilogram to taste first." Xiao Yunfan said: "No, this thick wine is calculated by a hundred kilograms. If you can drink a hundred kilograms, I will ask Master Guan to give it to you. Come on. If you can’t drink it, I’ll bring out the heavy wine, wouldn’t it be very disappointing?”
Everyone was surprised to hear this, and those who wanted to do something good encouraged Wu Yingxiong and said: "Wu Daxia might as well agree to him. It also allows us to see what thick wine is." Wu Yingxiong rolled his eyes at the man, put one hand on his waist, and said Pointing at the man's nose with one hand, he said: "You're so full of bad things, damn, they really brought out a thousand kilograms of heavy wine, and you drank it for Uncle Wu?"
The man couldn't help but blush when he said that. Wu Yingjie scratched his head and asked his two brothers: "Brother, third brother, do you think I should drink this rich wine?" His eldest brother Wu Yingjie said, "Drink. I don't believe that he can take it out." "
Wu Yingjie whispered: "No matter what he brings out, if we refuse to admit it, this kid will lose." Wu Yingjie said: "Brother is right." He turned to Xiao Yunfan and said: "If you can't bring it out , what should I do?" Xiao Yunfan said: "If I can't take it out, I will leave it to the three of you." The three of them smiled and said: "Okay, then you can take it out quickly." Xiao Yunfan said: "You three are sure you want to drink?" The three nodded.
When Huo Zhongyuan and others saw what Xiao Yunfan said, they must have felt confident. Xiao Yunfan walked up to Guan Shanyue and whispered a few words to him, and then said loudly: "Okay, then Mr. Guan will prepare big vats, each of which will hold a hundred kilograms of wine." Guan Shanyue knew that the three masters of Taihang loved Nonsense, he immediately advised: "The three of you should think about it before responding. This is not a joke."
Wu Yingxiong said: "A gentleman's words." His two brothers answered: "A horse cannot be chased." After a while, three jars of wine were delivered to the hall. Xiao Yunfan took a ladle and poured it into a bowl. He took three ladles in succession, and then mixed the three kinds of wine together. He smiled and said: "Don't Wu Daxia want to taste thick wine? This is thick wine."
Wu Yingxiong said: "Nonsense, how can you call it a thick wine by just mixing three kinds of wine?" Xiao Yunfan knew that they were trying to be rogue, so he immediately asked someone to point to the scale with a ruler and said: "This amount is too thin." Is it fairly thick?" Wu Yingjie said, "Three feet should be considered thick."
Xiao Yunfan put the ruler into the wine vat and said slowly: "Wu Daxia just said that three feet of wine is thick, so if I use this ruler to measure three feet of wine, it will naturally be thick wine." Wu Yingxiong opened his eyes wide. Said: "This...this counts." Xiao Yunfan said: "Don't you think that Master Guan's wine is too thin? I gave you a heavy measure of wine to drink. Is it possible that you want to regret it?"
The three of them have also been in the wine shop for many years, and they know that if the three types of wine are mixed together, even a cow will be drunk to death. Wu Yingxiong grimaced and said bravely: "If you drink, you will get drunk at worst." He picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp, and his head suddenly became dizzy. The other two people each finished a bowl and were also unconscious at the moment.
Guan Shanyue asked with a smile: "Are the three of you satisfied with the rich wine from my village now?" Wu Yingxiong could hardly keep his tongue straight when he spoke, and Guan Shanyue immediately asked someone to help them down.
In the hall, the absence of these three living treasures has dampened the interest of many people. Guan Shanyue said: "The three heroes of Taihang have a limited capacity for drinking. You can't imitate them. Come on, you guys must eat well and drink well." After he said this, no one could disrespect him, so they picked up the wine glass in front of them and drank it. . After a while, the hall became noisy again.
Xiao Yunfan was also in a good mood that day. Everyone who came to toast him was always welcome. He drank quickly and urgently, and he was still drunk after drinking more than ten kilograms. Fortunately, he was self-aware and fell asleep on the table. Although Chi You's blood can detoxify, it cannot detoxify wine.
When he woke up, he felt a dry mouth and a splitting headache. With sleepy eyes, he vaguely saw a girl sleeping next to him. He couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and quickly sat up, and saw himself, naked to the upper body, wearing only a pair of shorts.
He glanced at the girl again and saw that her eyes were bulging and her mouth was wide open. There was a circle of black and blue around his snow-white neck, and he was completely naked. He reached out to touch the girl's cheek, which was very cold. She had obviously been dead for a long time.
Xiao Yunfan was at a loss. He slapped himself hard and said, "Xiao Yunfan, Xiao Yunfan, could it be that you were drunk last night and did that beastly thing?" He glanced around again, and there was a sticker on the wall to the north. The red candle is half burned.
The fear in his heart was self-evident. He got out of bed and saw the bride's clothes piled on the floor. The groom, Guan Xiaofeng, turned blue and fell to the ground, his head tilted to one side. Xiao Yunfan leaned down to examine the cause of his death. His neck bones were twisted and broken.
At this moment, a maid outside the door called: "Master, Mistress, it's time to serve tea to the master and his wife." Xiao Yunfan walked to the door numbly and opened it. When the maid saw Xiao Yunfan's naked upper body, she also saw the young master lying on the ground bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and the copper basin in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
She exclaimed: "No, it's a murder." Then she turned around and ran outside. Xiao Yunfan stood in the courtyard with a dull expression. After a while, Guan Shanyue and other heroes rushed over. Guan Shanyue was greatly surprised when he saw Xiao Yunfan looking like this. He hurried to his son's wedding room, and when he saw his son dead, his knees became weak.
A trembling hand touched his son's cheek, and he stayed there for a long time and cried bitterly. When the heroes saw Xiao Yunfan standing in the courtyard, they couldn't help but point at him. Huo Zhongyuan stepped forward and said, "Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" Xiao Yunfan said with a pale face: "I, I don't know what's wrong. More I don’t know why I’m in the young master’s room.”
Inside the house, Mrs. Guan saw her son died tragically and her daughter-in-law was naked. At that moment, I burst into tears and passed away. Guan Shanyue said loudly: "Madam, madam, wake up." Guan Shanyue held on to the door frame, his eyes were blood red. He looked at Xiao Yunfan and roared: "It was you, you thing with a human face and an animal heart, who killed my son. Today I will I want you to pay with your life.”
As he spoke, he raised his fist and struck Xiao Yunfan in front of the door. A hand suddenly grabbed his wrist, and Huo Zhongyuan persuaded him: "Brother Yue, I'm sorry, I think there is a reason for everything. Brother Xiao would not do such an animal thing."
Liu's family members also arrived after hearing the news. When they walked into the house and saw their daughter's tragic death, they burst into tears. Mrs. Liu pointed at Mrs. Guan and cursed: "Why did my good daughter marry into your Guan family... why did she die?" As she said this, she rushed towards Mrs. Guan and started beating her. Liu Nanting hurriedly grabbed his wife and said, "Madam..." Mrs. Liu fell into her husband's arms and cried loudly.
Guan Shanyue said angrily with red eyes: "Huo Zhongyuan, let me go. My maid saw him walking out of my son's room with her own eyes. Look at what he looks like now. Who else killed my son if he didn't?" He asked Qunhao. He took a look and said: "Comrades, please stand for justice for Guan." The heroes looked at each other, and their eyes were like blades, all directed towards Xiao Yunfan.
Someone in the crowd said: "I didn't expect the Jade Lion to be such a man with a human face and a beast's heart. It's a shame that I drank with him yesterday. It's really disgusting to think about it now." Someone else said: "Master Guan, don't worry, I'll get it back for you." To be fair, even if he is very skilled in martial arts, if we all come together, we will chop him into pieces."
More humanely said: "Xiao Yunfan was drunk and had sex, so he was indeed not a hero. What a jade lion, he just deceived the world and stole his reputation." He spat fiercely.
Cao Kui and a group of guards surrounded Xiao Yunfan with weapons in hand. Huo Zhongyuan saw this posture, let go of Guan Shanyue's hand and said slowly: "Brother Guan, please allow Huo to say a few words. I trust Brother Xiao's character, and I guarantee that someone framed him."
As he said that, he turned around and cupped his hands to the heroes and said: "Comrades, please don't fall for the enemy's deception and wrongfully accuse good people. My nephew Chu Fangzhou died tragically that day, and someone blamed Brother Xiao. Huo pledged his life. Brother Xiao is innocent." Yin Zhonghao also said loudly: "I, the Bashan Sect, believe that Brother Xiao is innocent."
Xiao Yunfan looked at everyone pointing fingers at him, feeling extremely sad and angry for a moment. Seeing so many people, only the Bashan sect was willing to stand up and speak for themselves. My nose couldn't help but feel sore, and I almost shed tears.
He clenched his fists, closed his eyes and thought: "What on earth is going on? Why am I in the groom's room? Now the owner of the village has probably identified me as the murderer, and I appear now in the groom's room."
In front of everyone, and with the thin finger and claw marks on my body, anyone who sees me will think that I am the murderer. They won't believe anything I say now, they only believe their own eyes. "
Huo Zhongyuan said: "Brother Xiao, please say something." Xiao Yunfan sighed and said: "Everyone now thinks that I, Xiao Yunfan, am a murderer, and I can't defend myself now. Thanks to Master Huo for his kindness, Xiao Yunfan is willing to be punished."
Yin Zhonghao said: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? You were not like this in Bashan back then. Everyone wronged you back then, and you still tried your best to defend yourself. Why are you so depressed today?"
