The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.
Every time Xu Gong visits Yu Mansion, he can't help but feel a little sad - although his father's business is getting bigger and bigger thanks to the support of the Chamber of Commerce, in order to attract the Yu family to join the business, he uses all kinds of exquisite gadgets He often gave away gifts, and the Chamber of Commerce would not reimburse him, so Xu Gong had to pay for these gifts himself.
Of course, Xu Gong himself thinks that the lost meat is valuable. Once the Yu family can become a member of the Chamber of Commerce, he will be the number one contributor, and his father's status in the Chamber of Commerce will also rise. By then, whether it is Yu Maosheng or Mu Jiao They all have to obey the Xu family's words, and Yu Ruyi... is even more easily available.
Yes, the reason why Xu Gong is so attentive is still because of Xiao Yu. Although it was the task assigned to them by the Chamber of Commerce to win over the Yu family at all costs, Xu Gong's ability to walk through the door of the Yu family every two days was actually because of his lust.
From the day he returned to Yueyue City after an absence of more than ten years, the graceful and graceful Yu Ruyi deeply attracted Xu Gong's eyes and mood, and the more Yu Ruyi expressed her alienation and concern for Xu Gong. Indifferent, Xu Gong became more and more fascinated by her, and even applied to the Chamber of Commerce for "medicine" for this.
The power of the Chamber of Commerce is actually very large, and their methods of controlling their subordinates are also endless - one of the most commonly used and most effective is the use of various strange drugs.
For example, Song Wuyan committed suicide by taking poison and used the pair of "enemies' medicine" named after Cain and Abel. However, this medicine is generally used by middle- and lower-level personnel in the chamber of commerce, and it can be discarded when necessary. Object".
What Xu Gong offered to the Yu family was not something that would kill someone if eaten. The thing he sent was more vicious and more difficult to guard against than something that could simply kill people. From a certain point of view, this medicine was better than The poison that kills you immediately after eating is much more terrifying.
Shengxian Pill, this is the real name of the pill sent by Xu Gong.
Judging from the name, this pill is obviously not a good thing. As the name suggests, after taking it, three souls will leave the body and seven souls will ascend to heaven. Even the gods will be finished after taking it.
Of course, if the effect is immediate, it would not be so dangerous. The secret is that people who take this medicine will feel refreshed and energetic within seven days, but after seven days, the effect of the medicine will take effect completely. It makes people gradually fall into that kind of ecstasy feeling, and then they will feel weak and confused in the next seven days. Only taking another Shengxian Pill can relieve this symptom, and as time goes by, taking Shengxian Pill The more and more times you take Xian Pill, the effect of the drug will take effect faster and faster... until the user becomes irreversibly dependent on Sheng Xian Pill, which is also known as "addiction", and finally becomes completely addicted to Sheng Xian Pill. Until Senmaru’s sacrifice.
Shengxian Pill is different from Shengguo's poisons and poisonous poisons. The latter usually brings pain and torture, while the former brings a perverted and abnormal pleasure, like traveling in a fairyland, and Gradually get lost in it. People with a strong spirit and a determined will can certainly restrain the pain they suffer to a certain extent, but happiness makes people lose themselves more easily than pain...
Many self-proclaimed heroes were forced to become tools of the Chamber of Commerce after being fed the Shengxian Pill by the Chamber of Commerce. It’s not that no one has tried to resist the effects of the Shengxian Pill through the pain of self-mutilation or preferring suicide rather than being humiliated. However, once the Shengxian Pill attacks, all limbs and bones will be paralyzed, making it impossible to attack oneself, and the mind will be in chaos. Sometimes he is awake and sometimes he is drowsy, so no one has been able to resist the erosion of people's will by the Shengxian Pill.
And if you don't want to become a puppet of Shengxian Pill, the best way is not to be contaminated - but you must know that people's hearts are far apart. Although there are people like Xu Gong in the Chamber of Commerce, it cannot be said to be countless, but there are also many. They The usual method is to trick those who can be exploited into taking the Shengxian Pill in the name of relatives and friends.
Of course, the medicinal materials used to make Shengxian Pills are relatively rare and difficult to preserve, and the production process is also quite cumbersome and time-consuming. Therefore, Shengxian Pills are also equivalent to a "truck card" for the chamber of commerce. Use them as little as possible. .
But the members of the Yu family are worthy candidates for the Chamber of Commerce to use Shengxian Pills, so even though Xu Gong has selfish motives, the Chamber of Commerce still gave Xu Gong four pills - the target is naturally the family of four, the head of the family, Yu Maosheng. , they are the backbone of the Yu family, Taiping Escort Bureau and Ruyi Trading Company. If they can control one of them, they can take all the properties of the Yu family into their hands.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu followed He Nan and accidentally came into contact with the Chamber of Commerce in Fuyang County, so he was spared the poison of this crazy method. Although Liu Qingfeng misunderstood the nature of the Shengxian Pill, at least he got the result right. Of course, this cannot be blamed on Brother Liu. After all, this is a thing from a foreign country. It is normal for him to have never seen it before. .
Now that Xiao Yu has seen through Xu Gong's conspiracy, it is naturally impossible to fall for it again. In addition, Liu Sange wants to help her vent her anger, so he has been staring at Xu Gong's door at the Yu family's house in the past few days.
Of course Xu Gong came. This time he deliberately waited a few more days and did not come until ten days after donating the medicine.
"Master Xu, you are here again." A servant of the Yu family greeted Xu Gong when he saw that it was Xu Gong who came to visit again. Of course, the Yu family's wariness about Xu Gong and the Chamber of Commerce cannot be told to everyone, because the more people know about it, the more people can't hide it. If any servant accidentally has a different attitude towards Xu Gong, he will notice it. That was all in vain, so only the two generations of the Yu family and Liu Qingfeng were the only ones who knew about it.
"Both the master and his wife are not in the house today. The young master also went out with him. Only the eldest lady is here." This servant of the Yu family had a pretty good impression of Xu Gong, so he informed him.
When Xu Gong heard this, his face didn't show anything, and he felt happy in his heart - the two masters of the Yu family were gone, leaving only Yu Ruyi, a weak woman. After all, this should be It was time for the Shengxian Pill to show its power. Wasn't he just lucky? How did he know that Yu Ruyi not only threw away all the pills, but also had a superb kung fu? In his mind, he only felt that it was easy for a man to deal with a weak little girl named Liu Fufeng. Even if Yu Ruyi had some martial arts skills, he would be unable to use them due to the Shengxian Pill. Of course, even if he had an agenda, he couldn't be in Yu Mansion, but today was just the right time to take a look at the situation.
"Brother Xu is here?" A fragrant breeze blew by, and Yu Ruyi floated in from the hall. She was still wearing a bright red dress as usual, with cold eyebrows, but her slender jade fingers were hidden under the sleeves that others could not see. He had already picked up his water arrow and was waiting for the opportunity - as long as Xu Gong dared to do anything evil, Yu Ruyi's temper would definitely kill him on the spot.
Xu Gong was about to approach Yu Ruyi with a smile, but when he saw an extremely handsome man following behind Yu Ruyi, his face froze with joy: "This is..."
"Let me introduce you... This is my good friend, Mr. Liu Jiu, who is known as Caokui layman." Yu Ruyi pointed at Liu Qingfeng and said.
How can a person wander around the world without a nickname? Yu Ruyi had the identity of Hongyu, and Liu Qingfeng had a pseudonym when he was wandering around the world. It could even be said that Liu Jiu was his real name. This grassroots layman was not groundless.
Liu Qingfeng's family has been practicing medicine for generations, and he himself suffers from serious illnesses. Naturally, he is very familiar with various herbal medicines. Cao Kui is another name for tea, so he also has deep experience in drinking tea. Many of the teas in Li Zhanchun's home are Liu Qingfeng chose it for him.
It is true that Xu Gong's appearance is also very handsome and full of masculinity, but it pales in comparison to the Liu Qingfeng in front of him - Liu Qingfeng is holding a handkerchief to his mouth and coughing up blood even more than Xu Gong. striking.
"Hmph, I thought I was some great person, but it turned out to be a terminally ill man." Xu Gong muttered in his heart, but he still bowed his hands.
Liu Qingfeng's acting skills were also very exaggerated, and he coughed quite hard. If Xiaoyu hadn't told him to restrain himself with his eyes, he would have probably vomited out his lungs.
"Mr. Liu, Brother Xu Gong, let's go into the room and talk." Xiao Yu nodded to the two of them, saying so, but Xiao Yu held the third brother's arm and slowly held his arm. He walked back and left Xu Gong where he was, as if he was the same without him.
When Xu Gong saw this situation, he felt angry for no reason, and thought viciously: "You are talking about a friend, I think he is your mistress! Humph, when the effect of the medicine takes effect in a few days, I wonder how you can still pretend to be like this Looks so pure and pure.”
But thinking about it, Xu Gong was not slow at all and followed them angrily.
After the two sat down, Yu Ruyi ordered the servant: "Go and serve tea to the two young masters. Remember to make a few more pots of good tea from our house." The servant snorted and trotted out to prepare.
"Mr. Liu, Ruyi has long heard that you are good at tasting tea. No matter what kind of tea you are, you can tell the source. I wonder if I can see you today?" Yu Ruyi is really not good at acting. At this moment, she can only turn her head to her third brother. He said while suppressing a smile.
On the contrary, if Liu Qingfeng pretended to be serious, his ability would not be inferior to that of He Nan. He deliberately showed "unintentional pride" and said: "The Yu family sister is joking, this is just a joke." It's just a little trick." After saying that, Liu Qingfeng glanced at Xu Gong as if he was in a show of protest.
Xu Gong couldn't bear this anger and interrupted: "Ruyi, I have a lot of experience in tea tasting." In fact, he may not have any experience, but he is also a kid from a rich family and has drunk a lot of good tea.
"Oh?" Yu Ruyi had to adjust her expression and turned her head to pretend to be surprised: "Brother Xu Gong also has such a method? Then you two have to give it a try today!"
It is said that he has no talent for acting, but following He Nan these days, Xiao Yu's ability to control fire has improved a lot, and just one sentence ignited the fire in Xu Gong's heart.
Everyone in the Yu family was very agile. In a short while, several pots of tea were brewed and brought out, and they were placed on the round table in the center of the hall.
"Which one of you will come first?" Xiaoyu sat down at the table first and filled two teacups with fragrant tea.
"Please go ahead." Liu Qingfeng stretched out a white-gloved hand to signal Xu Gong.
Xu Gong snorted coldly and sat next to Yu Ruyi. He reached out and took out a tea cup, blew a few breaths and said: "This tea has just been brewed. The tea is scalding hot. How can you taste it? You are like this The grass-roots layman doesn’t even understand this? Could it be that he is someone who deceives the world and steals his reputation?”
Liu Qingfeng showed a guilty expression on her face, and deliberately concealed it. Finally, she said forcefully: "It is this boiling water that makes tea the most worth tasting." After that, he picked up another tea cup and brought it to his mouth. There was also a look on his face that said he was too stubborn to drink.
Seeing the grass-roots layman pouring boiling water into his mouth with a heroic look on his face, Xu Gong was a little stunned - even if he had to show off in front of Yu Ruyi, he didn't have to do it to this extent.
As soon as the cup of tea was in his mouth, Liu Qingfeng suddenly felt as if he was suffering from stranguria. He vomited and coughed out a lot of tea in his throat, and his limbs were dancing. This time, Xu Gong was really frightened, and he quickly jumped away from the table. Afraid that the layman Liu San was going to spill hot water all over him, even Xiao Yu, who knew what Liu San was doing in advance, didn't expect him to work so hard, so he hurriedly took a few steps back.
Liu Qingfeng became more and more enthusiastic. After noticing the frightened expressions of the two of them, he quickly stopped going crazy and pretended to say: "It is indeed good tea."
It's not fair to say that Liu Qingfeng's acting skills are not inferior to He Nan's. He is the kind of person with a perverse temperament. At this moment, he vividly interprets the image of a person who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, with a false reputation but a pig's nose with a green onion stuck in his nose to pretend to be an elephant.
"Yu Liu! Come clean it up!" Liu Qingfeng made a mess on the table. Yu Ruyi called the servant to clean it. At the same time, she glared at Caokui layman with feigned disgust - and Xu Gong naturally saw all this. In the eyes.
Not long after, Liu Qingfeng offered Xu Gong a cup of tea with an embarrassed expression: "Mr. Xu, what a joke."
Xu Gong also wondered how this person had the nerve to stay here, but since the owner Yu Ruyi didn't say anything, he couldn't issue an eviction order on his behalf, right? Then he said sarcastically: "You are an idiot? I think you are an idiot!"
You don't have to give face to this idiot, but you have to give face to Yu Ruyi. Xu Gong ignored Cao Kui's offer of tea, and instead took the initiative to offer one to Yu Ruyi.
Watching Xu Gong drink the tea, an imperceptible smile appeared on Liu Qingfeng's lips, but it might look more like a sneer to others.
Xu Gong never expected that others did not eat a single grain of the poison he sent, but he drank all the poison given by others. This shows that viciousness and intelligence cannot be generalized.
If you want to poison Xu Gong, Liu Qingfeng has countless ways. With Liu Qingfeng's ability, he would not be seen through poisoning in front of Xu Gong, but he chose the most ridiculous method - this method It was so much fun.
So is this poison.
