One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone in the hall was dumbfounded by Fang Zilan's words, but she didn't care, and turned the sword in her hand carelessly, "What do you think, do you want to read it, Master Geng?"
Geng Nan's face turned the color of pig's liver. If the cloth was uncovered and there wasn't a plum sword inside, his face would be in disgrace. What's more, if this woman is really from Qianjinfang...
"Qianjinfang never appears in front of people, let alone being in the limelight like this?" Someone questioned, but many people agreed, "Yes, Qianjinfang is very low-key. She probably used the name Qianjinfang. With ulterior motives!”
Seeing that Geng Nan had no intention of looking at the sword, Fang Zilan sat back down again, picked up the tea that A Wan had poured for her, and took a sip, looking calm and relaxed.
Ming Xiang stood up and said, "My master never likes to be disturbed when he is having tea. If you have nothing to do, you can go your separate ways."
Everyone looked at each other and wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to say it. Geng Nan was the first to respond, "Qianjinfang has the world's best knowledge and knows people the best in the world. How could you not recognize me just now?"
Before he finished speaking, everyone responded, but Ming Xiang didn't even raise her eyelids, "What's so difficult about knowing people? My master doesn't want to know Geng Daxia because he wants to save face for the hero. Are you right? Canghai Liu gentlemen?"
As she spoke, she looked at the man who was trying to comfort Huo Chun'er. She was stunned when her name was called, "Have you seen me, girl?"
"Never." Ming Xiang said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I just guessed it because I saw Mr. holding a sword and he cared deeply about Miss Huo."
Hearing the word "Miss Huo", Huo Chun'er jumped up and said as if she had been stepped on, "I am the Huo heroine of the Huo family of Daomen!"
"Yes, Huo Nuxia." Ming Xiang changed her words calmly, and her eyes fell back on Geng Nan again, "The Xiaojinghu faction, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, there are few people who are clean and self-sufficient, my master remembers the ancestors Our superficial friendship has already saved face, does Geng Daxia really want my master to tell everyone what you have done?"
Geng Nan's face turned white and he said, "You...you don't have to talk nonsense!" He suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Ming Xiang straight at her.
Ming Xiang did not dodge. The moment the sword fell, there was only a crisp sound. A copper coin was thrown from nowhere, and the sword broke unexpectedly.
Under the shock, the Jianghu people present showed their weapons one after another, but they saw the shopkeeper in the building walking towards him, his round face full of smiles, "Dear distinguished guests, be friendly and make money. As early as when this girl entered the building , I checked her invitation, and there is no doubt that she is from Qianjinfang. As for this Geng Daxia, martial arts are prohibited in the building. It is helpless for my men to break your sword. This building is willing to pay you the equivalent of gold as a token of gratitude. apology."
After he said this, he waved, and a waiter brought a tray up, but what was placed on it was only a gold leaf.
Seeing this, Geng Nan said angrily: "You Zuiyuelou, you have a dog's eye and look down on others. This sword I have..."
"If Geng Daxia's sword is a genuine Qingping sword, whether Zuiyuelou can afford to pay for it is another matter." Ming Xiang quietly stopped Geng Nan's words, "But if it is broken casually by a small copper coin, it is impossible to think about it. .”
Everyone who was originally stunned finally realized that what Geng Nan was holding was not the Qingping Sword, the treasure of the Xiaojing Lake Sect, but a similar imitation. No wonder it broke so easily.
After being pointedly exposed by Ming Xiang, Geng Nan became angry and embarrassed, but did not dare to do anything again. He took the piece of gold leaf angrily and left Zuiyue Tower in disgrace.
The shopkeeper and Fang Zilan sat at the same table and nodded, "It is really our fault for disturbing the elegance of the girls in Qianjinfang. All the expenses incurred by them at the spring party will be recorded in our account."
Zuiyue Tower is a gold-selling den for those who are obsessed with money. Moreover, for more than ten days before and after the Spring Festival, one person's expenses are already a large amount. However, the three people's expenses are covered by the shopkeeper. This naked compliment obviously convinced Fang Zilan. The identity of the group Qianjinfang.
Only then did everyone in the hall react, and the more discerning ones finally understood what Fang Zilan meant by saying that he was half a Jianghu man, and the Qianjinfang Zhen family.
It is rumored in the world that when Zixiu destroyed the entire Hidden Sword Villa, one of Zhen's servants escaped by chance. Although his face was burned, his desire for revenge was still there, so he founded Qianjinfang and wandered on the edge of the rivers, lakes and courts. Buying and selling the world's news in order to get revenge one day.
Therefore, the people in Qianjin Square all call themselves the Zhen family. The most valuable thing in the square is the news about Zixiu, and all transactions are worth a thousand taels of gold.
However, Zixiu's whereabouts are mysterious. Since the establishment of Qianjinfang, only one person has bought Zixiu's whereabouts for a day with a thousand gold, and no one has bought or sold it since then.
Fang Zilan turned a blind eye to the various glances around her. She put the tea cup on the table slowly and said, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper, but it's only a mere hundred taels of gold. I can still afford it."
"What the girl is saying is that I have lost my sense." The shopkeeper still had a smile on his face, "In that case, if the girl has any instructions, I will do my best."
"No orders, but your tea is pretty good. Here's another pot." Fang Zilan said, looking around, "Also, I don't like to be disturbed."
"Yes." The shopkeeper greeted everyone to sit down again, winked at the waiter, and ordered him to serve tea.
Ah Shi, who was always hidden behind the curtain, watched the hall return to normal, but he was filled with doubts in his heart.
Just now he saw clearly that it was true that the man's copper coin broke Geng Nan's sword, but the sword was not as bad as the girl said, and she was deliberately hiding her weakness for the Fang family. Fang Zilan must be the third Miss Fang.
But Qianjinfang Zhen? The shopkeeper had told him when he checked the sign at the door, and when Fang Zilan raised questions, it was suspected of being public. This is even more true now. Is the identity of Qianjinfang deliberately made public to attract attention?
But is this eye-catching identity real or fake? If this is true, why have the Fang family’s repeated invitations to cooperate been ignored? If it is fake, if Qianjinfang finds out, a storm may be imminent.
There is also the plum sword that everyone calls it. He once saw Fang Zilan's sword in the Duke of Yue's mansion. It is indeed in the shape of a unique plum branch, but he doesn't know if it is called a plum sword. However, just now Fang Zilan personally said that the plum sword was the physical evidence of the case of escaping from the residence of Mr. Xu Youtong in the capital. If this statement is true...
Ah Shi had a stern look on his face. Although he didn't know much about the Xu Mansion leak case, he also knew that when the house was ransacked, Mo Han was sent to the Xu family as a slave. With Fang Zilan's temper, she would never be able to watch something happen to Mo Han. She must have been present that night when the Xu family was compromised...
If the plum sword is the plum branch-shaped sword in Fang Zilan's hand, then the Duke of Yue State Fang Zilan, Miss Fang San, and even Zi Xiu are all the same person?
