"Are you Qin Ziling from Hantie Zhangyuan?" the tall and thin man asked.
"Yes, who are you?" Qin Ziling nodded and then asked.
"Liao Sen from Youlongzhangyuan, have you ever heard of him?" Liao Sen said.
"It turns out to be Brother Liao from Youlong Zhangyuan. I've heard about his name for a long time. What's the matter?" Qin Ziling cupped his hands and said without much change in his expression.
When Liao Sen announced his name, he still had a strong aura that forced him away. His sharp eyes were fixed on Qin Ziling, but he couldn't see anything unusual.
"I heard that you had conflicts with Yan Kui from the Yama Gang and my junior brother Zhuang Gaochi before." Liao Sen asked.
"That's right! The owner of the 'Hua Yun' gouache and rouge shop paid for me, and I have to stand up for her. What? I heard that something happened to Yan Kui and Zhuang Gaochi. Brother Liao didn't suspect that I was that bad. How courageous are you? Even if I have that much courage, I still have to have the ability!" Qin Ziling said with a trace of self-deprecation on his face.
"That's true." Liao Sen nodded, then stepped out of the aisle, made a gesture of invitation and said, "I'm sorry to offend you, Brother Qin, please."
"Brother Liao, what you said is serious. It's human nature to be confused if you care." Qin Ziling replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and then passed by Liao Sen and Liao Sen calmly.
Liao Sen looked at Qin Ziling's leaving back, and his face suddenly darkened. He put his toes on the ground, jumped up, put his five fingers together like a knife, and slapped him on the back. At the same time, he shouted coldly: " Look at the palm!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ziling "hurriedly" rolled around to avoid the slap, then stood up suddenly, stared at Liao Sen with a "shocked and angry" look on his face, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing? I just felt itchy suddenly and wanted to fight with Brother Qin." When Liao Sen saw Qin Ziling, he rolled on the spot in embarrassment, and then looked "shocked and angry". Although he had already expected it, Still a little disappointed, I just replied with a smile on my face.
He was just a cowhide-level martial arts disciple who had exhausted his potential in Hantie Zhangyuan. If it hadn't been for the case of the Yan Luo Gang and Zhuang Gaochi that no suspicious characters could be found, he wouldn't have suddenly tested Qin Ziling on a whim today.
"Brother Liao, are you bullying the people in our Hantie Zhangyuan? If your hands are itchy, I will help you with a few tricks!" At this moment, the roller curtain of the third private room opened, and Zheng Xinghan appeared with an ugly face. On the corridor, Yu Yan and Muxuan were followed behind them, and they glared at Liao Sen.
"Brother Zheng is joking. Your Hantie Palm Academy is full of talents, and recently you have a genius like Nangong Yue. How can I dare to bully you? There are no people in your Hantie Palm Academy. I just suddenly felt itchy, haha!" After Liao Sen said this, he laughed loudly and turned around and went downstairs with the people around him.
Zheng Xinghan watched Liao Sen and his men turn around and go downstairs, his expression getting uglier.
After a while, Zheng Xinghan turned to Qin Ziling and asked, "Are you okay? Why did you have a conflict with Liao Sen? This man is a notoriously ruthless guy in Youlong Zhangyuan. You should be more careful in the future."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng. I'm fine." Qin Ziling waved his hand and glanced downstairs through the guardrail of the corridor, a chill flashing deep in his eyes.
"It's okay. Let's go into the private room." Zheng Xinghan didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and turned around and entered the private room.
The first to arrive are Zheng Xinghan, Muxuan, Yu Yan and Qin Ziling.
Soon Shen Xiujin, Luo Yuke and Lu Taiqiang also arrived one after another.
"Brother, since everyone is here, let's get to the table and start!" Lu Taiqiang, the last one to arrive, glanced at the private room and said to Zheng Xinghan.
"Wait a minute, Nangong Yue hasn't arrived yet." Zheng Xinghan said.
"Nangong Yue will definitely not come. I heard that today Lin Zhengji hosted a banquet for some rising talents recognized in various martial arts schools in the outer city, and Nangong Yue was also on the list. Lin Zhengji is one of the top six in our Fangshan County. One of the young masters, he is already a Yunjin martial arts master at the age of 23, and his father Lin Tianrui has just been appointed as the captain of Dongcheng School. It can be said that among the six young masters, except for the Pang family, Lin Zhengji has been the most popular recently. . He invited Nangong Yue to a banquet, can Nangong Yue not go?" Lu Taiqiang said.
"That's right, Nangong Yue went to attend Mr. Lin's banquet and can't come tonight." Luo Yuke took over and said, with a proud look on his face.
Lu Taiqiang frowned, looked at Zheng Xinghan and said, "Brother, why didn't Nangong Yue mention it to you?"
"Haha, it's the same thing with Junior Sister Luo! Everyone, come to the table." Zheng Xinghan's face changed slightly, and then he said haha.
"What's the same? You are the senior brother. You are in charge of all the daily affairs of Hantie Zhangyuan. You also arranged this New Year's dinner. If Nangong Yue can't come, he has to tell you in advance. He is like this It's obvious that I don't take your senior brother seriously." Mu Xuan said angrily.
"Okay, it's common for people to be careless and forget. Let's serve them all." Zheng Xinghan said solemnly.
Muxuan's lips moved and she was about to speak. Qin Ziling next to her nudged her with her elbow. Muxuan then swallowed the words that were on her lips.
Everyone came to the table, because when Nangong Yue made a fuss, except for Luo Yuke, everyone else not only didn't think that Nangong Yue went to Lin Zhengji's banquet, but as brothers from the same discipline, they were all a little annoyed with Nangong Yue's behavior, so Even though the food and drinks were served, the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Lu Taiqiang looked up at the "Hua Yun" gouache and rouge shop across the street. He had an idea in his heart and said to Qin Ziling with a hint of ambiguity: "Junior Brother Qin, I heard that the 'Hua Yun' gouache and rouge shop across the street The owner of the shop, Yun Lan, is a pretty beauty, and she is also very good at making money. She runs the "Hua Yun" gouache and rouge shop prosperously, but there are many people around her who are staring at her, hoping to gain both personal and financial benefits.
You are handsome and talented, and now you happen to have a name in the "Hua Yun" gouache and rouge shop, so you have a head start. You must go to this rouge shop more often to avoid missing out on this good opportunity. "
Women love to gossip, and men love to talk about beautiful women.
With Lu Taiqiang's words, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became lively, and everyone turned their attention to Qin Ziling.
"That's right, that's right. If I really marry Miss Yunlan, Junior Brother Qin will get both people and wealth, and his life will be more prosperous in the future." Yu Yan, who had always been as silent as a stone, said with his eyes shining brightly for the first time.
"Let me tell you, Junior Brother Qin has been blessed with good fortune recently. He must not miss this opportunity before it comes again. He should really visit rouge shops more often." Shen Xiujin said while waving his paper fan.
This person is the most handsome among them all, and has an elegant temperament. Like Lu Taiqiang, he likes to shake his fan when he has nothing to do.
Lu Taiqiang did it to show off his status as a young master, while Shen Xiujin pretended to be gentle and attracted many brothel girls for this reason. In fact, he didn't have much ink in his stomach at all.
"How do you say this?" Even Muxuan became more energetic this time and asked quickly.
"There used to be many people who coveted Miss Yunlan, and one of them was Zhuang Gaochi from Youlongzhangyuan. Recently, I have had nothing to do, so I heard a lot of gossip in the teahouse." Speaking of this, Shen Xiujin shook his head. He started selling his fans.
"That's a teahouse, I think it's a brothel." Lu Taiqiang revealed unceremoniously.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Shen Xiujin just blushed slightly and didn't feel anything ashamed.
We are all brothers who have been in the same school for several years, and basically know everything about it, and it is common for rich and capable men in this world to visit brothels.
"Senior Brother Lu, both junior sisters are here, it's not kind of you to say this!" Shen Xiujin said.
"Tch, you think I don't know your virtues!" Muxuan curled her lips.
"Ahem!" Shen Xiujin coughed twice, and then continued: "Speaking of which, I was in a brothel. Bah, bah, I heard a lot of gossip in the teahouse. It was said that Zhuang Gaochi had been coveting Miss Yunlan's wealth before. I wanted to He wanted to take charge of the Rouge Shop, but Miss Yunlan hired Junior Brother Qin instead, so Zhuang Gaochi secretly used the Yama Gang to cause trouble.
Then you also know that Junior Brother Qin and Yan Kui had a fight. As a result, the day before the fight, the Yan Luo Gang was almost wiped out. At first, everyone thought it was the military advisor Y People discovered in Xianhe that there was obviously someone else behind the scenes.
You guys think that Junior Brother Qin is so lucky? If the Yan Luo Gang hadn't been brought under control, there's no telling what the outcome of the fight between Junior Brother Qin and Yan Kui would have been! Even if he wins, with Yan Kui's fierceness, the matter may not end so easily.
This is the first one, and the second one, ahem, I heard from the storyteller in the teahouse that later on, Zhuang Gaochi refused to give up and continued to pester Miss Yunlan. Once, he directly threatened Miss Yunlan in the store, and she happened to be Junior Brother Qin bumped into him. I heard that Junior Brother Qin drew his sword to help when he saw an injustice, scolded Zhuang Gaochi in person, and had a conflict with him, and then Zhuang Gaochi walked away angrily. Junior Brother Qin, this should be correct, right? "Speaking of this, Shen Xiujin looked at Qin Ziling specifically.
Qin Ziling nodded noncommittally, already understanding why Shen Xiujin knew so much about these gossips.
Brothel girls often visit the "Hua Yun" gouache and rouge shop, and the girl's family generally loves gossip, so they naturally know this news.
"As it turns out, Zhuang Gaochi happened to be killed that day by coincidence!" Shen Xiujin saw Qin Ziling nodding and continued waving his fan.
"It turns out that Junior Brother Qin had a conflict with Zhuang Gaochi that day. No wonder Liao Sen stopped you just now and suddenly attacked you." Zheng Xinghan frowned when he heard this.
Zhuang Gaochi was shot to death in an alley more than a month ago. This incident had already spread in martial arts circles in the outer city. Zheng Xinghan had also heard about it, but he did not expect that Zhuang Gaochi had a conflict with Qin Ziling on the day he was killed. , and the fact that Yan Kui, who died earlier, deliberately bullied the "Hua Yun" gouache and rouge shop has something to do with Zhuang Gaochi.
