Martial Arts: Gain a Jiazi internal force at the beginning!

Chapter 183

The scene was awkward for a while.

Yan Wushuang blew it out, but the result seemed to be broken.

Jiang Ran put the teacup on the table and pushed it in front of Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang held his sleeves, picked up the tea cup, brought it to his nose and smelled it, his face froze.

Then smile:
"Maybe...maybe I'm too anxious.

"Although the treasure is good, it also takes time. If we wait a little longer, maybe there will be changes."

Jiang Ran said with a smile:

"The lake is very beautiful today. If nothing happens, it doesn't hurt to wait for a while.

"To be honest, Jiang is still busy, so I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here any longer."

Yan Wushuang nodded when he heard this:

"If Young Master Jiang is involved in something, I naturally don't dare to force him to stay.

"Well... I think with this little effort, it should be almost done."

She poured out the lake water in the teacup with her backhand, opened the purple jade gourd and poured another cup.

This time he didn't give it to Jiang Ran, but picked it up and smelled it himself.

The next moment, her face became extremely gloomy:
"This is impossible...this is not a purple jade gourd!!"

Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi looked at each other and thought to themselves that the vice president of Baizhen Society would not be the first to call them over to make a joke for them.

After pondering slightly, Jiang Ran said softly:
"Yan Huishou, I wonder if I can have a look at this gourd?"

Yan Wushuang nodded and pushed the gourd in front of Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran reached out and took it, touching it inch by inch, then raised his head and looked at Yan Wushuang:
"May I ask Yan Huishou, what is the purple jade gourd made of?"

Yan Wushuang said in a deep voice:
"Although this purple jade gourd is called purple jade, it is not.

"Although if you look carefully by the light of fire, you can see that it is as transparent as jade, it is extremely hard and cannot be melted by fire, flooded with water, or broken into pieces.

"It's neither gold nor iron, neither jade nor stone. It's hard to say for sure."

Jiang Ran nodded:

"Then this is indeed not a purple jade gourd."

When he said this, he raised his hand to hold the gourd, and when he exerted slight force, he heard a click.

The gourd immediately broke into pieces, and the fragments and the lake water inside were scattered all over the floor.

Yan Wushuang took a deep breath:

"This is not right... I just inspected it carefully two days ago, and there is nothing wrong with the purple jade gourd.

"Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Tang Huayi squatted down and picked up a piece of 'gourd fragment' and said to Jiang Ran:
"Look, there are words on the inside of this gourd."

Yan Wushuang was stunned, and immediately asked someone to collect all the gourd fragments to see what was written inside.

Finally it came together into one paragraph:

[I have heard for a long time that there are many rare and rare treasures in the Baizhen Society, so I expected that having a lot of money would be unusual. 】

[The world is in poverty, and most of the people have no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. Therefore, I took advantage of the darkness to come to the Baizhen Society to find and borrow the treasure. 】

[After this thing is raised and sold, the money will be exchanged for the people. 】

[The people of the world will surely shed tears of gratitude to you, and this act should also serve as a good deed for the Baizhen Society. 】

[This is a great good deed! 】

[The great virtuous man Ximen Feng left a message! 】

[You may not be able to see the words left! 】

【Can’t even see it! 】

[I can’t find it but I can’t catch it! 】

【I’ll make you mad! 】

【Hahahahahaha! 】

puff!

Tang Huayi couldn't hold it back and laughed directly.

Jiang Ran tried his best to think about the tragic things he had experienced in this life, but found that it was not enough, so he thought about the tragic things in his previous life again, and then he barely suppressed his smile.

Looking at Yan Wushuang again, she still had an angry look on her face.

Turning around, he opened the other two pieces of red cloth, and after checking the things on them one by one, he became furious:
"You bastard! This is really unreasonable!"

Her voice came out along with her internal energy, causing the lake light to fluctuate, and several water jets erupted one after another.

When Tang Hua saw this, he tried his best to hold back his laughter.

It was extremely interesting to see Yan Wushuang, who had just shown no expression of emotion and anger, and was still suppressing bragging to Jiang Ran, being so gaffe-like.

"Yan Huishou, please be patient and don't be impatient."

Jiang Ran couldn't say anything else at this moment, he could only persuade in a low voice.

Jiang Ran's words seemed to be heard by Yan Wushuang. Finally, he took a deep breath and waved gently:

"Go back."

Looking back at Jiang Ran, he sighed again:
"This makes Young Master Jiang laugh. Unfortunately, a thief has been recruited into our family.

"All the gifts I prepared for Young Master Jiang were stolen and replaced by this thief.

"I originally wanted to trade these things with Jiang Shaoxia for this Jiaowei...

"Now it seems that it can't be done."

"It's okay."

Jiang Ran waved his hand: "No one wants to attract thieves in the family. But who is this Ximen Feng? I have never heard of him?"

It would be fine if he were an ordinary person.

However, this person has great magical powers and is able to manipulate the situation in Baizhenhui's hands.

It makes people like Yan Wushuang confused.

There shouldn't be no record of such a person in the Sword Holding Department's book.

Yan Wushuang was really worried now. She sighed and said:
"To be honest, this person... we are also investigating.

“This is not the first time he has attacked me, Baizhenhui.

“The first time was probably two years ago.

"It happened to be Huishou's sixtieth birthday, and on the day of the birthday banquet, a birthday gift of a rare jade that had been handed down from generation to generation disappeared.

"The person left no writing at that time, and we have been investigating for a long time but have not found any trace of the thief.

"Similar things happened several times after that, but this man was very clever, and he always succeeded no matter how hard he tried.

“And this person seems to have decided on me, Baizhenhui.

“I am becoming more and more courageous, and I even dare to leave my name...

"It's embarrassing to say that if he hadn't taken the initiative to leave his name, we still wouldn't know the three words Ximen Feng.

"I didn't expect that he would chase me all the way to Changqing Mansion. In order to steal these three treasures, he would even make fakes."

"This person is really good at making this fake look like the real one."

Jiang Ran chuckled lightly: "In that case, Jiang will not disturb Yan Hui's arrest of the thief, and take his leave."

"Wait a minute!"

Yan Wushuang stopped Jiang Ran:

"Young Master Jiang, although our Baizhen Society is a force in the world, in the final analysis, we are still businessmen.

"So-called businessmen usually welcome customers from all over the world with a smile and are unwilling to make grudges with others.

"It is precisely because of this that if we want to get Jiaowei, we can only barter.

"Now the deal can't be done, but the benevolence and righteousness are still there, Jiang Shaoxia is a hero, and I, Baizhenhui, are also willing to make friends like Jiang Shaoxia.

"We already know about the tea tasting and piano appreciation conference.

"Now that Young Master Jiang has arrived at Changqing Mansion, he will definitely prepare for the relevant matters for the conference.

"It's just that these things are so complicated. I'm afraid they must be Director Jiang Shaoxia, right?"

"Yan Huishou will speak directly if he has something to say."

Jiang Ran smiled: "Don't make any detours with me."

"kindness."

Yan Wushuang smiled and said:
"If Young Master Jiang can trust me, I can leave all the expenses and arrangements for this tea tasting and piano gathering to my Baizhen Club."

"...No wonder Baizhen will make a lot of money."

Jiang Ran was stunned, and then asked:

"But I don't know how much silver is needed?"

"Young Master Jiang, wait a moment, Baipi."

She shouted, and the young man who had led Jiang Ran and the others immediately came to her:
"The head of the meeting."

"Get the list of arrangements for the tea tasting and piano appreciation conference that I compiled earlier and show it to Young Master Jiang."

"Yes."

The young man agreed, turned and left.

Only then did Jiang Ran realize that this person's name was Bai Pi... This name was a bit strange.

Baipi left quickly and came back even faster, with an extra stack of paper in his hand.

After handing these papers to Jiang Ran, he returned to his position and stood up.

Jiang Ran lowered his head and looked through the things in his hands. He looked at them and pondered them, and at the end he didn't forget to click his tongue in admiration.

Sunset Ping was originally an open space.

If you want to hold a tea tasting and piano appreciation meeting above, you must first have seats, and tables, chairs, and benches are inevitable.

There is no need to buy these things because they are used once and then not used again, so they have to be rented.

The rented tables, chairs and benches are also divided into different grades due to different quality, and the cost is naturally different.Later, people had to transport the things up.

This cost is naturally another sum.

Then there is tea... tasting tea and enjoying the piano, without tea, it is naturally empty talk.

What kind of tea you use is very important.

It's too bad to be embarrassing, it's too good to be wrong, it's better to have something new... something that everyone can accept without blurting out "What the hell".

After all, the real focus is still the Jiaoweiqin on Jiang Ran.

Therefore, several suitable teas are listed on this paper for Jiang Ran to choose.

After talking about tea, there is also water. Good tea must use good water, and bad tea uses good water. Although it is a waste, it also adds a lot of color.

Where to get the water, how much to get, who to send it to, how much money to spend, etc...

These things were so complicated that Jiang Ran was indeed a little dizzy.

He smiled bitterly and thought to himself, in the past when watching TV series, people said that the entire conference was the entire conference, and there was no need to worry about these minor details.

But when it was his turn, it was obviously not that simple.

After reading the whole thing, Yan Wushuang wrote three options: upper, middle and lower on the paper.

The top grade is the most expensive, costing a total of 9000 taels!

Whether it is tea, water, or tables, chairs, and benches, including the incense burner on the table, the incense in the incense burner, the futon under the buttocks, or the stools, they are all of the best use.

Coupled with the surge in the number of attendees, the cost will become unaffordable.

The average one costs more than 8000 taels of silver.

Everything is a compromise, so that it can be on the table without being overly extravagant.

The lowest-grade ones are the cheapest, only costing 500 taels.

In Yan Wushuang's opinion, this was just a reluctant meeting.

Everything is not too shabby, not too good, not eye-catching, and looks a bit crude.

After Jiang Ran read it, he said to Yan Wushuang:
"Yan Huishou, where can I pay one thousand and five hundred taels of silver?"

"..."

Yan Wushuang was stunned when he heard the words, with a somewhat disappointed look on his face, but also a little confused:
"As far as I know, Jiang Shaoxia is a knife catcher and has caught many criminals.

"The reward money earned is quite a lot..."

"I am a poor kid, so if I have money, I can't spend it recklessly."

Jiang Ran touched his pocket and took out fifteen 100-tael banknotes:
"I'm sorry to trouble Yan Huishou... However, Yan Huishou will have to take care of all the expenses at that time to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"This is natural, just leave it to us."

Yan Wushuang forced a smile: "Would Baizhen have ruined her own sign?"

"That's good."

Jiang Ran nodded, but then thought of something and asked:
"Speaking of which, Yan Huishou must have been here in Changqing Mansion for some time, but I don't know what the news is. Is he not well informed?"

"Young Master Jiang originally wanted to buy information from our Baizhen Association."

Yan Wushuang's eyes lit up: "I'm too well-informed to say anything, but that's pretty good. But I don't know, what does Young Master Jiang want to know?"

"..."

They sell all the news. This Baizhenhui really spans all walks of life.

Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:

"To be honest, today..."

Jiang Ran separated himself from Cheng Tianyang and others when they came to Changqing Mansion, and then went to look for the people from the Tianyang Escort Bureau, only to find that they were all dead in the woods behind the Zhou Mansion. This series of things was simple. Said it again.

Yan Wushuang didn't seem to take it to heart at first, but her expression changed a little as she listened.

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, Yan Wushuang said:

“I happen to know the Zhou family you’re talking about.

“When I first came to Changqing Mansion, I took a fancy to the quiet location of his house and planned to buy the village and rebuild a summer resort.

“Unfortunately, he was rejected by his family’s head.

"That's why I investigated the details of Zhou Zhou's family and found that there is nothing special about his family. It is just an ordinary wealthy family.

"The Baizhen Society has strict discipline. If the other party has a background in martial arts, it doesn't hurt to use some means.

"But it was just the people's words that made me dare not act rashly, so I had no choice but to abandon that house and build the Qingshan Villa here instead.

“I didn’t expect that something like this would happen afterwards.

"Well, don't worry, Young Master Jiang. I, Baizhen, will help investigate this matter. If there is any news, I will ask Baipi to inform you."

"Okay, then Lao Yan will come to the meeting."

Jiang Ran clasped his fists slightly: "Farewell."

"Baipi, see you off."

Yan Wushuang spoke softly, and Baipi immediately stepped forward:
"Young Master Jiang, please."

Jiang Ran nodded and led Tang Huayi out.

Watching Jiang Ran and his group gradually move away, the faint smile on Yan Wushuang's face completely faded away.

Her red and phoenix eyes looked cold and stern once she lost her smile.

His eyes passed over the fragments of the 'Purple Jade Gourd', and he slowly took a piece and placed it in his palm, rubbing it gently.

After twisting the fragments into powder, he breathed out gently, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"I finally took the bait, and in two years... stole all kinds of treasures from our Baizhen Society, causing our Baizhen Society to lose millions of taels of silver.

"Do you really think that I, Baizhen, will be so easy to handle?"

She sat under the pavilion, picked up the jug and poured herself another glass of wine.

Before the glass of wine was finished, someone came over.

There were many people coming, all dressed in smart clothes.

Four of them were carrying a soft sedan chair, with Baipi in front of them:

"The head of the meeting."

Yan Wushuang's body swayed and he was already on the soft sedan.

He put his back on the back of the chair, stretched his body, and then drank the glass of wine in his hand. He threw it away, and the glass flew out in a swirl and landed steadily on the table:

"Let's go, come with me and meet this Ximen Feng."

……

……

"Are you saying that this Yan Wushuang already knew that Ximen Feng would come to steal things?"

The Baizhenhui carriage at the foot of Qifeng Mountain left slowly, while Tang Huayi looked at Jiang Ran in disbelief and said astonishingly:

"Then why is she still so shocked?"

"It was just because she was so shocked that I felt a little weird."

Jiang Ran said:

"As one of the second guilds of Baizhen Hui, she must be able to hold the position of vice president, and she must be able to express her emotions and anger.

"Especially for businessmen, the most taboo thing is to show everything on your face.

"What's more, she has known Ximen Feng for a long time.

"Knowing that getting angry will never help the situation, let alone in front of outsiders like you and me...

"Isn't it weird that it's so demeaning?"

Tang Huayi thought about it:
"Then why would she do that?"

"I don't know... but I'm guessing, it's probably just a show for the audience.

"This audience may not be Ximen Feng himself, or his minions, or they may even be watching it for you and me.

"After all, she was so generous with her fists. Now she has lost something. If she behaves so plainly, it will inevitably make people doubt whether what she said before is true."

Jiang Ran said with a smile:

"Moreover, if you think about it again, if she was really so angry and lost her temper, how would she be in the mood to talk to me about the various matters at the tea-tasting and piano-tasting ceremony?

“So I was thinking about it all the way back.

"You can't hunt for treasures, so it's fake to change Jiaowei.

"What people really want to do is to fish out the thief.

"By the way, ask me to do business for a tea tasting and piano appreciation conference...

"When I look at her today, what really made her lose her temper was when I chose the lowest option."

"...So, it wasn't Jiaoweiqin that they were interested in in the first place?"

Tang Huayi curled her lips:
"If this is true, then we have really underestimated Yan Wushuang."

"Such people cannot be underestimated."

Jiang Ran shook his head gently: "She spends every day in several assassinations, so her thoughts must be meticulous. What she really wants to do must be hidden under many illusions.

"I never thought of this in the past, but I have learned some skills today."

"Don't learn badly."

Tang Huayi glanced at him.

"...Is this what you, a little demon witch like you, should say?"

"Then what happened?"

Tang Huayi snorted: "The human heart is deceitful, and gods and demons are hard to guard against. Even though I am a witch from the Demon Cult, people like me from the Demon Cult, who pursue the purest of hearts, are not as good as these bright and righteous paths, which are twists and turns and twists and turns. Thousands of threads and hundreds of knots.”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and found that he could not refute Tang Huayi's words.

Although the demon sect has an unpleasant name, the so-called freedom of demons it pursues comes from deep within.

What they want is the ultimate freedom, to act according to their heart and go as they please, without being bound by any etiquette and rules in this world.

Isn’t it just the purest intention that you seek?

This is why they are called demons... because they only ask what is in their hearts, not good or evil.
