Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 67

Chen Zheng didn't know the many thoughts coming out of the little Taohua's head behind him, so he just stared at the Wang family crowd below.

Soon a rather special figure came into Chen Zheng's eyes. It was an old man who looked about 70 to [-] years old. His hair was already pale, but he was well groomed. His face looked nothing like an ordinary old man. Different, covered with wrinkles, not looking very old, as if with some elegance.

In his eyes, he looks no different from ordinary people, but there is always a feeling of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world.The strangest thing is that the old man's hands seem to be covered with calluses, which should be caused by heavy labor or martial arts practice.

But Chen Zheng didn't notice any traces of the old man's physical labor, and he didn't notice the aura of a warrior on his body, so he immediately became interested.Moreover, the people around the Wang family were all reporting to Huang He in an attempt to mitigate their crimes. The old man didn't really care, he was too calm. Although there was a wry smile on his face, it was more of a kind of sadness for himself. It doesn't seem like the affection for Wang's father and son and Wang's family.

It must have a story, Chen Zheng thought to himself.

Quietly called a city guard next to him to inquire about the identity of this calm old man, the city guard took a look and replied: "My lord, this old man is the steward of the Wang family, his name is Wang Sanyun, he seems to have been in the Wang family for a long time. At that time, he was responsible for managing some trivial matters of the Wang family. If I remember correctly, he was a homeless person rescued by Wang Xuanmian. Wang Xuanmian found him seriously injured on the side of the road and treated him. Some talents stay in the palace as housekeepers. I heard that with his help, Wang Xuanmian became the number one family in Tugen County so quickly, but I don’t know if it’s true.”

Hearing what the city guard said, Chen Zheng became interested. Generally, such a person, according to the routine in the novel, is either the protagonist or an important supporting role. He is treated for serious injuries and repays his favor with all his might. He looks like a weak chicken , is actually an old man with a particularly high cultivation base, and various examples began to echo in Chen Zheng's mind. This kind of person who has a different template at first sight must be received in his hands.

Afterwards, Chen Zheng came to Wang Sanyun's side, pretended not to know anything, sized him up, and then asked, "Who are you? Why are everyone registering, but you are the only one standing here? Why? I don't want to mitigate the crime." ?”

Wang Sanyun smiled wryly and said: "Responding to my lord's words, my next son, Wang Sanyun, will be added as the steward of the palace. As for the registration issue, my lord is joking. Who wants to mitigate their crimes, but Beiyan has never heard of such rules. Moreover, there is actually no difference whether to register or not, if the adults don't let us go, we can't leave, it's all a matter of the adults."

Chen Zheng was a little surprised. This old man has a strong ability to make up for himself. Although Beiyan didn't have such rules before, the final fate of this group of people was actually a word of his own, but he really wanted to let this group of people do nothing. Those who are involved should relax as much as possible. After all, the culprit is dead, and it is of no value and effect to attack these people.

Chen Zheng slightly supported his forehead and said: "Well, old man, you have a lot of ideas. I learned from the city guards that you were rescued by Wang Xuanmian and then became the housekeeper of the palace? I can also be regarded as the unlucky murderer of the palace. Revenge?" There was a sense of teasing behind the words.

Wang Sanyun shook his head and said: "I don't have that kind of thought. It is true that the Wang family saved me, but I have served the Wang family for so many years, which is enough to repay the kindness at that time, and I just noticed some things Wang Xuanmian did. Some brows, but I can't control it as a powerless person, I speak lightly, and no one believes what I say, so many people died, and there is part of the reason for me."

Chen Zheng admired his statement: "Then what are your plans for the future, old man?"

When Wang Sanyun heard that Chen Zheng wanted to recruit him, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he found that Chen Zheng didn't look at him. He didn't know what Chen Zheng was thinking, so he still said his plan, "I don't have any plans. After the kindness of the Wang family is over, I can retire this old bone, find a place to live in a hut, and end my life, which is not bad in my opinion." After finishing speaking, he seemed to stroke his beard leisurely.

Chen Zheng approached Wang Sanyun's ear mysteriously, and said softly, "Then you don't want to take revenge, old man?" In the eyes of outsiders, a young man seems to be flirting with an old man at this moment, with a style of painting Surprising, unbelievable.

Hearing Chen Zheng's whisper, Wang Sanyun's eyes suddenly widened, filled with a coldness different from just now, and no longer had a bitter, gloomy face, as if a strong murderous aura was coming at Wang Sanyun's eyes. Appearing on the body, the surrounding temperature seems to have dropped, making one unable to help but want to sneeze.

Wang Sanyun, an ordinary-looking ordinary person, did not know where the strength came from. His right hand was placed on Chen Zheng's throat in an instant, and he whispered, "Who are you? Who sent you?"

Feeling that the seemingly old hand on the throat was still trembling, but Chen Zheng believed that the old man could tear his throat with his hands in the next moment, but Chen Zheng was not nervous, and put his hand on Wang Sanyun's with a smile. shoulder, said.

"Hey, old man, you're too nervous. I'm not a human being. I'm just an ordinary embroidered guard. But I think a lot. Ordinary people get ahead a lot with their brains. But I heard that you were injured before. At your age, if you were just an ordinary person, you might have died a long time ago, so I boldly guess that you are actually a warrior, and your cultivation level must not be low, but the reason for the injury or some other problem, now the martial arts are not obvious , must be a person with a story, I don’t know if I’m right?”

After hearing this, Wang Sanyun's expression softened slightly: "What if you secretly investigated me?"

Chen Zheng replied: "I know I didn't say that I have sufficient evidence to prove that I am just guessing, but let me put the words here first, you think for yourself. Since you were injured before, this is not something you can do alone , I can give you a way, old man, we cooperate, I will find a way to start from the embroidery guards, help you collect information, and even restore the natural treasures of cultivation, I need my husband to provide me with experience in the world, and help me manage my subordinates people. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to have a win-win situation?”

Wang Sanyun chuckled: "What a big tone, a small banner of the Embroidered Yiwei has such a big confidence?"

Chen Zheng didn't care about the irony in it, and replied: "But no matter what, it's a way. Sir, you have been in Tugen County for so many years. It's not that you don't want revenge, but you have nothing to rely on. You are alone, and at this age, sir, you are still injured. If there is a place to take people without cultivation base, my husband will not live in Tugen County for so many years. I am just a small flag now, but with the help of my husband, I believe that I will be able to get rid of my identity as a small flag soon Now, Mister, you should think about it carefully, after all, actions are always more important than ideas."

After saying that, Chen Zheng bowed his hands to Wang Sanyun and left.

Wang Sanyun was left in place with an uncertain expression on his face.
