Regarding the information about Hua Man Lou, currently very few people in the world know the details.
Tong Xiangyu also had some impression after hearing Bai Zhantang, who was knowledgeable and experienced in the world, talk about it.
Huamanlou basically matches the image of the young master in front of her, except... his eyes?
Bai Zhantang said that this handsome young man is obviously blind!
But the young man in front of him had warm eyes and a gentle face. He didn't have the slightest trace of sadness like a disabled person, and he didn't look like he was blind.
At least there was no one to guide him during the process when he walked into the inn from outside and then went upstairs, and he didn't make any mistakes.
Every step was accurately placed on the steps.
Is this a blind man?
Tong Xiangyu was slightly curious, stretched out a finger and waved it tentatively in front of the other party.
Immediately, the playboy was still smiling, but his eyes did not move.
However, he seemed to be aware of Tong Xiangyu's every move, and smiled warmly.
"Shopkeeper, there's no need to test it. I really can't see it."
really!
While Tong Xiangyu felt certain, she felt pity and injustice at the same time.
How could such a good young man be blind? God is really blind.
But as a blind man, he didn't even show any sign of resentment. Instead, he was more genial and enthusiastic than ordinary people. This was even more surprising!
But what troubles Tong Xiangyu the most is why Huamanlou appears here?
It seemed that Hua Qishao, who was born into a wealthy family, was not just here to join in the fun, but had other important matters.
Combined with the recent abnormal situation in the town, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but feel a little worried, thinking about telling Yan Ming about this matter and letting him check it out.
"Manager Tong, the two of us have something to discuss, so go ahead and do your work. Don't bother."
After Hua Manlou finished speaking to Tong Xiangyu, he entered the room with the worried Zhu Ting.
Hearing Tong Xiangyu leaving, Hua Manlou nodded to indicate that he could speak.
Zhu Ting couldn't wait to ask: "Did something happen to the printing plate again?"
The printing plate Zhu Ting mentioned was the master plate of the banknotes issued by Datong Bank, and it was also a work carved by him himself.
Zhu Ting has done many strange works, so many that he can't remember them all, but the printing plate of this bank note is too important to ignore.
Although Datong Bank was nominally a private bank, its business spread throughout the Ming Dynasty and was widely recognized.
The Chase banknotes issued by it can be exchanged for cash at any bank branch, which is very convenient.
So much so that both businessmen and martial artists have a very high degree of recognition for Datong Bank.
Of course, the fact that Datong Bank's business has become so large is all thanks to the two owners behind it.
On one side is the Ming Dynasty!
The imperial court intended to use Datong Bank to mediate the silver coins circulating in the market. With the secret support of the imperial court, Datong Bank's business could proceed unimpeded at any time and anywhere.
On the other side is the Jiangnan Flower Family, which is the richest in the world.
As long as the foundation of the Hua family is there, there is no need to worry about Chase Bank not being able to exchange the money.
It also shows that people all over the world recognize the Hua family's wealth.
However, recently the bank has had problems one after another.
Counterfeit banknotes appeared at Chase Bank!
It is said to be a fake banknote, but it can be mistaken for the real one. Except for the same serial number, it is difficult for even Chase Bank's own people to tell them apart.
Branch offices across the country received varying amounts of counterfeit banknotes, which were discovered only after they were exchanged for cash, thus causing huge losses.
The masterful boss Zhu Ting was the engraver of the banknote printing plate and claimed that no one in the world could imitate his craftsmanship. Naturally, he was immediately investigated by the government.
After struggling for a long time, Zhu Ting was barely ruled out as a suspect, and Liumen took over the case and turned to other directions for investigation.
Zhu Tingcai appeared in Qixia Town.
This was also the reason why Zhu Ting felt depressed and irritable when he first met Yan Ming.
Originally, Zhu Ting was immersed in creation during this period and put the matter behind him, but when he saw Huamanlou today, he suddenly became nervous, fearing that there was a bigger problem with the banknote.
Although Zhu Ting didn't feel much about money, since the fake banknotes appeared, Datong Bank caused losses to the Hua family every few days ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of taels.
Even Zhu Ting felt a little sorry.
But he couldn't figure out why his unique printing plate was being copied...
Huamanlou heard that Zhu Ting was nervous and spoke to comfort him.
"Boss Zhu, don't worry. The case of counterfeit banknotes has been investigated intensively by the Six Doors. This is not your fault."
"Alas!" Zhu Ting still sighed.
"But in addition to the six doors, I have asked another friend of yours to help investigate the case. I believe there will be results soon. It's your friend with the four eyebrows."
"Lu Xiaofeng!" Zhu Ting's eyes lit up.
If this clever man takes action, he will surely gain something.
But Zhu Ting was also puzzled. Lu Xiaofeng had such an idle temperament. His only love was women and wine, and what he hated most was trouble. He hadn't seen him for a long time. How did Huamanlou entrust him to come forward?
Hua Manlou heard Zhu Ting's doubts, smiled mysteriously, and didn't explain much.
"Then Young Master Hua Qi is here..."
"I heard that Ji Le Lou has been around recently, so I came to take a look." Hua Man Lou said.
…
"Bliss Building?"
Yan Ming's voice sounded.
At this moment, he and Shi Weiyu were sitting across from each other for a drink, and the two of them happened to talk about this topic.
"That's right."
Shi Weiyu nodded and said: "This is also what the Wen Da head catcher specially told you when we received the news, and wanted to remind you specifically."
"The Bliss Tower is extremely mysterious and has always been erratic, so much so that there are rumors in the world that it is a gold-selling cave flying in the sky. Even after six gates have been tracking it for a long time, its location has never been determined, let alone its origin."
Shi Weiyu guessed: "But if Jile Building can reach such a scale, the water behind it must be very deep."
"Recently, there have been signs of Jile Tower appearing near your Seven Heroes Town, which may cause some trouble, so I want you to pay special attention."
After listening to Shi Weiyu's words, Yan Ming nodded.
Since the Paradise Tower is rumored to be flying in the sky, it will definitely not be fixed in one place and change locations frequently.
Unexpectedly, this time I chose a place near Qixia Town!
I don’t know if the other party did it intentionally or unintentionally.
No wonder, Yan Ming also noticed that recently many wealthy upstarts came to Qixia Town, carrying large sums of money but not doing business.
It turned out to be for the Bliss Building.
Even Wang Baotou of Zuojiazhuang reported that he had discovered the same situation.
However, Yan Ming is familiar with the plot and knows much more about Jile Tower than others.
"Besides this matter, there is also the fact that your cultivation has advanced too quickly. I was originally worried that you wouldn't be able to cope with the trouble, so I wanted to help, but it turned out that I was worried unnecessary."
Shi Weiyu felt a little depressed when he talked about this.
He had thought about recruiting Yanming into the Guangyun League before, but now he has completely stopped mentioning the matter.
At the rate at which Yan Ming was improving, it was almost time for him to step down and make way for someone more powerful, and make him the leader of the alliance.
To be honest, Shi Weiyu was a little frightened by the fact that Yan Ming easily crushed and defeated several Grandmasters this time. She didn't say anything, but in her heart she kept lamenting the evil nature of this kid.
"This is both a good thing and a bad thing. I won't ask you how you did it, but in the future, many people will definitely be concerned about your secrets. You should be more careful." Shi Weiyu reminded her with a steady click.
This is the same as what Fang Zheng Chongxu reminded him before. Yan Ming nodded to indicate that he had remembered it.
Shi Weiyu knew that Yan Ming was a smart man, so he didn't say much, telling Yan Ming not to be polite if he needed help, just ask him and Wen Zhongjun for help, and then continued drinking with Yan Ming.
On the other hand, Shi Ruyan in the distance was kicking the stones on the ground boredly with her hands behind her back, looking up from time to time to look at Yan Ming in the distance.
Recalling the first meeting in Weigong Village, when Yan Ming fought against several masters of the Black Lotus Sect, even though it was only not long ago, it actually felt like it was a lifetime ago.
The key is that his father later mentioned that he should get closer to Yan Ming, with the intention of bringing them together.
As a result, before even a few words had been exchanged, the gap between the two suddenly became irreparable.
This feeling made Shi Ruyan, who had always been pampered in the Guangyun League and was used to everything going smoothly, very uncomfortable and felt indescribably awkward and uncomfortable.
When it was getting dark, Yan Ming ended his short gathering with Shi Weiyu and walked down the street.
Qixia Town is still very lively now. There is no curfew, and it happens to be the fifteenth day of this month. There are people everywhere attending the night market.
Residents shopping, men and women taking the opportunity to have a tryst, vendors coming to do business nearby, warriors coming to join in the fun...
The streets are bustling with people.
People kept saying hello to Yan Ming, but no one disturbed him from patrolling the streets.
As he was walking, Yan Ming suddenly glanced across the crowd and noticed at a glance Hua Man Lou, who was holding a folding fan and wearing a warm smile on his face, shopping leisurely.
There is no way around it, Hua Qi Gongzi is so outstanding both in appearance and temperament that it is difficult not to notice him, not to mention that Yan Ming has such a keen six senses.
Huamanlou didn't seem to be feeling any discomfort at the moment, wandering around the streets like a normal person, enjoying the uniqueness of Qixia Town.
Yan Ming took two steps and suddenly heard Yue Buqun and Feng Buping arguing over the concepts of the two sword qi sects from the second floor of Tongfu Inn, and he couldn't help but frown.
"These guys can really make a scene! Looks like we need to find a way to solve it."
Although they didn't dare to start a fight in Qixia Town, they bickered almost all the time, and over time they would destroy the harmonious atmosphere.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yan Ming suddenly focused his eyes and noticed a figure walking through the crowd.
I clearly saw a person moving, but I couldn't see the specific details around him.
In just a few steps, he swept across a long distance like the wind in the crowded crowd.
What a brilliant move!
Yan Ming could see that his body skills were as exquisite as his own magical movements.
This figure had a clear goal, which was to head towards Huamanlou. He ducked out of the way and the moment he passed by, the jade pendant under Huamanlou's folding fan disappeared.
Huamanlou seemed to be unaware of it and continued to move forward while waving the folding fan.
Since Yan Ming became famous, pickpockets in Qixia Town have almost disappeared.
How dare this guy do something small under his nose?
Yan Ming immediately became interested.
"Uh-huh!"
In just a few steps, Yan Ming passed through the crowd in a flash.
The figure in front was thin, but extremely fast. He seemed to have noticed that Yan Ming was following him, and suddenly accelerated his pace.
The two of them were like two breezes blowing through the street in an instant, and soon arrived outside the Seven Heroes Town.
As soon as he left Qixia Town, the pickpocket was faster and rushed forward lightly.
The two seemed to be interested in competing with each other on their feet, and their speed was getting faster and faster.
However, no matter how fast he is, Yan Ming can keep up with him. He can perform it without leaving any trace on the snow, which is more elegant than his light skill.
The pickpocket in front kept looking sideways. At first he was surprised, then shocked, and then turned into disbelief.
How could someone be so powerful in Qinggong?
But before he could think too much, Yan Ming was already approaching.
"Come down!"
As Yan Ming opened his mouth, suddenly a fierce force of claws spread all over the man's body.
"Ah?" He exclaimed, and the air around him seemed to be shattered inch by inch.
It seemed that he had been caught by Yan Ming's huge claws in the void.
However, at the moment when the claws reached his body, the man's whole body bounced with strength, and he actually got out in a very weird posture, which was very slippery.
"Sikong Zhaixing, known as the King of Thieves, is indeed extraordinary, but you can't run away!"
Yan Ming actually revealed the other party's identity.
"You're such a strange official. I just thought that the pendant was interesting, so I borrowed it for two days to play with. Why are you so entangled in it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sikong Zhaixing rushed into the trees with a whooshing sound.
Yan Ming arrived later, but he lost sight of him.
But Yan Ming didn't panic, he immediately activated his eyesight technique and followed in one direction.
Not long after, Yan Ming saw an old man with wrinkles on his face, walking along the road.
Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
"Why aren't you done yet!"
The old man suddenly ran away, his stature instantly became shorter, and his appearance also changed. He was none other than Sikong Zhaixing just now.
It is said that Sikong Zhaixing's disguise skills are also very extraordinary. He can be fat or thin, tall or short, and can change his appearance in an instant.
He actually changed his image in such a short period of time. Even his clothes were specially made and he could change his style as soon as he turned them over. It was really extraordinary!
But Sikong Zhaixing ran away quickly, and Yanming was even faster, and his claw power incorporated a bit of Xuan Qian Huan Shou's hidden weapon skills.
Sikong Zhaixing dodged to avoid the incoming locust stones, but his flexibility was limited, and he was caught by Yan Ming from the air within a few moves.
Then the dragon-binding rope was swung, and as soon as Sikong Zhaixing touched it, the dragon-binding rope automatically curled up and tied him up in circles.
"Ouch!"
Sikong Zhaixing landed screaming and was captured by Yan Ming.
"What a powerful method. Are you the Yan Catcher they have been talking about recently?"
Although Sikong Zhaixing was arrested, he didn't seem to be afraid and asked.
After seeing Yan Ming's face clearly, Sikong Zhaixing shook his head.
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced, I don't dare to do it anymore! In the past, the person I, Sikong Zhaixing, feared the most in the Gongmen was Jin Jiuling, but now there is another one like you. No, you are more difficult to deal with than that guy Jin Jiuling. .”
Yan Ming also walked over and looked at Sikong Zhaixing curiously.
"He stole on the street in Qixia Town, so he will be temporarily detained as a punishment."
Yan Ming mentioned Sikong Zhaixing.
[Captured Sikong Zhaixing, a pickpocket in Qixia Town, and gained +8000 cultivation points]
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I came to Qixia Town for something. I was entrusted by someone to help find Jile Tower."
Sikong Zhaixing called out hurriedly.
