Start with Tongfu

Chapter 261 Picked Up

dong dong dong~!

After three knocks on the door.

squeak~!

The door of the guest room where the three of Lu Yiming lived opened.

Looking at Tong Xiangyu and Fang Yang who were smiling outside, Zhu Xiaoyun who came to open the door hastily cupped her hands at the two of them, and stretched out her hand to draw in: "Please come in, both of you!"

"Thanks!"

Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu smiled and nodded to Zhu Xiaoyun, and walked into the guest room with Fang Yang.

Just got in.

Seeing that, Lu Yiming and Zhou Dunru who were sitting on the wooden couch hurriedly got up and greeted Fang Yang and Tong Xiangyu.

After some courtesy, everyone took their seats.

"Shopkeeper Tong, what can you do?"

Looking at Tong Xiangyu opposite, Lu Yiming asked suspiciously.

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Tong Xiangyu glanced at Fang Yang beside him, then turned to look at Lu Yiming again, "Actually, it's not a big deal." Then, she took out the bag of money that Lu Yiming had just given, and put it on the table.

See here.

Lu Yiming, who had been watching Tong Xiangyu's movements, was taken aback for a moment, and then he misunderstood Tong Xiangyu's meaning and suddenly reacted: "Shopkeeper Tong, but this silver is not enough? But... this is the most silver taels that the three of us have raised so far! If the money is really not enough to hold the headmaster’s celebration..."

As he said that, Lu Yiming thought for a while: "Look at this, you take the money first, and prepare it first. If it is not enough, we will find a way!"

After speaking, he looked at Tong Xiangyu firmly.

"No~!"

Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu didn't know what to say anymore, she completely lost her aggressive posture before, showing a wry smile, "The amount of money is not a problem, even if it is not enough, I can help you to fill it up!"

Is it not that there is not enough money?

The three of them looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Then, Lu Yiming cupped his hand at Tong Xiangyu, and pointed to the silver on the table, "Then what does shopkeeper Tong mean?"

"This……"

When the words came to his lips, Tong Xiangyu suddenly found that he couldn't speak. It was really not easy to ask someone face to face if they were going to steal money.

This, this, this...after a long while.

Tong Xiangyu turned his gaze to Fang Yang who was on the side.

It was obvious that she was going to tell Fang Yang to open the mouth and retreat to the second line by herself.

Looking at Tong Xiangyu's eyes, Fang Yang kept silent, Tong Xiangyu is more suitable for this kind of thing, he can't!
I don't know.

Seeing that Fang Yang kept silent, Tong Xiangyu immediately covered his face with a fan to prevent Lu Yiming who was opposite from seeing him. At the same time, he kept winking at Fang Yang, asking him to speak.

resignedly.

Looking at Tong Xiangyu's threatening and pleading eyes, Fang Yang shook his head.

Looking at Lu Yiming opposite, Fang Yang raised his hand to pick up the silver on the table, weighed the money, and said slowly: "Young Master Lu, I'll get straight to the point, and I won't tolerate any twists! If I've offended you in any way, I hope you'll forgive me. crime!"

The voice fell.

Lu Yiming hurriedly said: "Mr. Fang, but it's okay to say!"

Nod.

Fang Yang smiled, and put the money on the table: "Dare to ask Lu Shaoxia, where did you get this money? I remember a few days ago, you were going to pawn swords for a bunch of candied haws, why did you suddenly take out such a big one now?" Got some money?"

After saying that, Fang Yang stared at Lu Yiming, observing his expression.

very natural.

After Fang Yang finished speaking, Lu Yiming didn't show any flaws, and said directly with a little dissatisfaction that the money was earned by the three of them doing art.

heard.

Fang Yang raised his eyebrows, performing arts can't fetch so much money!
After looking at Lu Yiming for a while, I thought about it, since Lu Yiming didn't tell the truth, then he could only be rude once!

Then, he whispered a few words in Tong Xiangyu's ear.

"Okay?"

After Tong Xiangyu listened, she turned her head to look at Fang Yang in surprise, and asked in a low voice.

"can!"

Fang Yang gave Tong Xiangyu a reassuring look.

See here.

Tong Xiangyu looked at Lu Yiming and the other three on the opposite side. After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yang nodded as if he had made up his mind.

smile.

Fang Yang raised his head suddenly, looked at the three of Lu Yiming, and shouted at the same time: "Look into my eyes!"

Finished.

The conditioned reflex was normal, and the three of Lu Yiming looked directly into Fang Yang's eyes.

With just one glance, they couldn't look away anymore, they stared at Fang Yang firmly, and at the same time, their faces became dull, and there was even a hint of joy in it.

Fang Yang's eyes turned completely white.

After the three of them were all affected by his secret method, Fang Yang said to Tong Xiangyu: "Shopkeeper, if you have any questions, just ask now! They will answer you truthfully!"

heard.

Tong Xiangyu didn't ask the question immediately, but stared blankly at Fang Yang, shocked in his heart.

Is this also martial arts?
Isn't martial arts all about fighting and killing?Swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, fist and kick kung fu... How can there be such kung fu that can affect people's minds?
This is not sorcery!
Although she is the lord of Qijue Palace, to be honest, she is not interested in martial arts, so she learned a little hypnotism, otherwise she wouldn't make a lot of sense.

Because hypnosis needs to be combined with psychology!

But although hypnotism can also achieve some of the effects of the secret method Fang Yang cast on Lu Yiming and the other three, it is definitely not so exaggerated.

You can control others by looking at your eyes!

That's why Tong Xiangyu looked at Fang Yang in shock. She had never heard of such a secret technique, let alone read it.

And Fang Yang.

After feeling Tong Xiangyu's shock, he smiled: "Shopkeeper, why don't you ask them why they are looking at me!"

"Oh oh oh~!"

After hearing Fang Yang's words, Tong Xiangyu came to his senses, and turned to look at the three of Lu Yiming and the others with dull faces, "To be honest, where did you get this money?"

"Broker!"

Hearing this, Lu Yiming spoke in an emotionless voice.

Hmm~?

Frowning, Tong Xiangyu looked at Lu Yiming suspiciously, did he make a mistake?Didn't they steal the money from the shopkeeper?
This is really the money they earned as a performer!
And just when Tong Xiangyu doubted himself.

Fang Yang asked, "Only performing arts?"

The voice fell.

I see.

Lu Yiming, who was supposed to be sluggish and expressionless, showed a trace of struggle on his face.

Looking at all this, Fang Yang understood that the occurrence of this situation meant that the next words, for Lu Yiming, were extremely ashamed for him, and had already touched his moral bottom line.

That's why he showed signs of struggling when he was already under control.

really.

Lu Yiming still couldn't resist Fang Yang's skill.

moment.

Lu Yiming's face became sluggish again, and he said mechanically: "We can't make much money from performing arts, but just today, after we finished performing arts, we actually picked up a purse! Open it, and there are 50 taels of silver in it!
Because we were anxious about the master's succession ceremony, we hid the money instead of returning it to the owner!I am really ashamed of my master! "

Saying that, Lu Yiming sighed.

Obviously, although this kind of thing is not a crime, it is obviously inconsistent with the ideological education they have received since they were young, and chivalry is the first.

Let them feel ashamed of their master, their master, and the ancestors of Hengshan!

See here.

Tong Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief, it's not as good as stealing it. Although if you pick it up and don't return it, you should be condemned morally, but in terms of the bottom line of morality and law, it is not a serious crime!
then.

"Where did you pick it up?" Tong Xiangyu asked.

50 taels of silver is not a small amount of money, how anxious people are if they lose it!

Therefore, Tong Xiangyu was going to return the money after asking clearly.

I don't know.

She just finished asking.

Lu Yiming immediately said, "At the door of Wanli's pawn shop!"

heard.

Fang Yang and Tong Xiangyu looked at each other, and at the same time, the image of the chubby money shopkeeper popped up in their hearts!

Could it be that...the money that Lao Qian said was stolen is really this?

Looking at Tong Xiangyu's suspicious eyes, he knew that the money in Wanli Pawnshop belonged to Shopkeeper Qian himself, and Fang Yang, who called out to catch the thief, smiled: "Shopkeeper, do you think some people stole the money from Shopkeeper Qian's house, and when they went out , accidentally dropped the silver.

And it just so happened that the money was picked up by the three of Lu Yiming! "

"Hey~!"

Hearing what Fang Yang said, Tong Xiangyu's eyes lit up, "It's really possible? But... who stole the old money?"

"This is out of our control, there is Lao Xing!"

Fang Yang smiled at Tong Xiangyu, then shouted at Lu Yiming and the others, "Wake up!"

The word 'wake up', like the evening drum and the morning bell, directly woke up Lu Yiming and the three of them.

And Fang Yang's eyes also returned to their original appearance, no longer white.

Frowning, they looked at each other suspiciously.

The three of Lu Yiming who woke up didn't know anything about what happened just now, but they always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't say it out, not to mention how uncomfortable this feeling was.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the three, Fang Yang smiled.

He stood up and said to Tong Xiangyu: "Shopkeeper, let's go!"

"Okay~!"

Grabbing the silver on the table, Tong Xiangyu reassured Lu Yiming and the others that she would definitely finish the ceremony, and with the thanks of Lu Yiming and the three, they walked out of the guest room.

go down.

Fang Yang said to Tong Xiangyu who was on the side: "The shopkeeper, now that you know that the money was picked up, why don't you continue to spend it?"

heard.

Tong Xiangyu gave Fang Yang a blank look: "How can this be possible! I want them to rest assured that I am going to take out my own money to help them complete the grand ceremony of the master! After all, I am Xiaobei's sister-in-law, so it is right to help her." ! As for the silver..."

Tong Xiangyu raised his hand, looked at the 50 taels of silver in his hand, and said reluctantly: "Let's give it to Lao Xing! Let's say it was picked up."

"Ok!"

Nodding his head, Fang Yang also expressed his agreement, although there is a very small chance that the money was not lost by the money shopkeeper, after all, there is no evidence to prove that the money belongs to Lao Qian.

But as long as there is this possibility, it is best to leave it to Lao Xing and ask Lao Xing to deal with it. Regardless of his final result, at least he has a clear conscience.

Seeing that Tong Xiangyu was in pain because he wanted to hand over the 50 taels of silver to Lao Xing, Fang Yang just smiled.

Immediately afterwards, he said to Tong Xiangyu: "Shopkeeper, how about I pay some money for the succession ceremony of the master! Let's do it together. After all, this Xiaobei is also my apprentice! I, the master, will help her out." , and it should be."

Immediately.

"real!"

After listening to Fang Yang's words, Tong Xiangyu patted Fang Yang's arm with excitement, completely forgetting about the 50 taels of silver.

To be honest, 50 taels is nothing compared to the amount of money this kind of celebration consumes!
Originally, Tong Xiangyu was ready to bleed heavily, but Fang Yang was willing to help and pay a part of the money. How could Tong Xiangyu, who is stingy, not be excited.

Going downstairs, after talking about the matter with the waiting people.

Everyone began to get busy under the command of Tong Xiangyu. The next seven days will be the real test for everyone.

It is really that these seven days are too short, but there are too many things.

First of all, the venue for this celebration has to be determined, okay?

In this arena, most people with a reputation will come to this grand ceremony, after all, this is the succession ceremony of the head of the Hengshan School.If they bring their apprentices with them, there will be thousands of people at least, and the venue must be large!
second.

The venue needs to be arranged!

The high platform, the scenery, and the chairs where the masters and Jianghusu elders sat on were not allowed to invite people to participate in the grand ceremony, and they were still standing.

third.

The food and drink expenses for thousands of people have to be arranged. This is another huge project. Where do you live?what to eat
People in different regions have different tastes, and there are also differences in monks, laymen, and Taoists. These are all things that need to be paid attention to.

fourth.

There must be some entertainment.

These thousands of people, gathered together, are still people from the rivers and lakes. If they don't give them some place to vent, if they start fighting, the scene will be chaotic.

fifth.

security measures...

…………

Anyway, there are a lot of miscellaneous things that need to be dealt with.

And this requires everyone to work together.

Of course, relying on Fang Yang and Tongfu Inn alone is definitely not enough, so he first went to Lou Zhi County and asked Lou Zhi County for help.

To this, Lou Zhixian agreed without any hesitation, and he directly called all the yamen servants and policemen in the yamen to help set up the stage, while Lao Xing seemed to be a contractor, constantly Supervise everyone's work.

In addition, of course, there are professional construction workers specially invited by Fang Yang and others.

As for the food purchase, it must be left to Dazui.

For this reason, he also went all over the various food suppliers around Qixia Town, asking them to deliver the food on time, according to the order and quantity when the ceremony is held.

Guo Furong, Bai Zhantang, and the others also have their own affairs, and they are so busy that they can't keep their feet on the ground!

Fang Yang even went to the six gates of the capital.

After all, they were inexperienced in holding such large-scale celebrations, so they went to the six doors to see if there were any professionals in this field.
