the enlightener says

As for Cai Yan, he only did four things from the beginning to the end: first, he made some fancy movements in a pretentious manner, second, he knocked Gongshu out with a knife in his hand, and third, he tied Gongshu with a rope and threw it away Get into the carriage, the fourth is to drive away...

Gao Yishui put down his wine glass at this time, and asked with a serious expression: "The third master said...the boat capsized in the gutter? Could it be that the third master guessed that someone was going to tie up your ticket?"

Gongshu laughed loudly, slapped the table vigorously, and said: "Mr. Gao is a smart man, he only speaks half a sentence, and he can hear half a sentence. Alas...the family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate, so let's not mention it. "

However, Gao Yishui frowned, as if he had heard some meaning, and said in a low voice: "The family is unlucky? Does the third master think that the person in charge is really the loser's own family?"

Gongshu was picking up a piece of crispy and tender hibiscus bamboo shoots with his chopsticks, and he shook his head helplessly, "What did I say just now? Don't mention it. Mr. Gao, why do you have to poke the rotten sore in my heart?"

Gao Yishui was still smiling, and looked around. The servants were standing at a distance with their heads down, waiting for orders. In the whole hall, there was only the bubbling and bubbling sound of the fresh fish pot on the inner circle of the round table, as if it was chattering with the outside of the window. The sound of waterfalls echoing each other.

He pointed at Gongshu Jiu's heart with his hands, and said with a smile: "The third master said that there is a rotten sore here, and it must have been in pain for a long time. Now that you know it is a rotten sore, you have to pierce it and treat it cruelly, right? Is it? If you let this rotten sore rot all the way to your lungs and affect your whole body, then... the third master may suffer even greater crimes..."

With a sound of "click", Gongshu put down the chopsticks in his hand lightly, while the other hand was clenched into a fist. His head was buried a little low so that Gao Yishui and others couldn't see his face clearly, but when he came again When he raised his head, there was no smile on his face, only bitterness.

He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Gao is really a bosom friend!"

However, as soon as Gongshujiu finished speaking, Abu heard Cai Yan whispering to a piece of meat in front of him: "I'm still a bosom friend... Obviously I want to do it but I dare not do it, and I want to borrow someone else's hand to do it. But you still have to put on an appearance of a gentleman..."

Of course, Abu is also aware of the internal strife among the public losers. They want to take the five elements of the public losers, so naturally they can't fight openly.Not to mention that he, Gao Yishui and even Qin Ke may not be able to defeat the public loser head-on, even if they are able to defeat the public loser, if the public loser hides things, how will they find them?

Therefore, in the first few days after Gao Yishui arrived in Jinzhou, he never visited the public loser directly, but inquired about the public loser in various teahouses and restaurants.

In fact, it’s old-fashioned to say that Gongshu Ren, the master of the Gongshu family, is currently sick in bed. It is rumored that he is terminally ill. Even Qin Yueren, a genius doctor from Jicheng, can only prescribe a prescription of "doing your best and keeping the destiny" Son, there is no other way.In order to compete for the family property and the hereditary title of the public loser, although the water is calm on the surface, there is already a torrent in the dark.

Once Gong Shuren passed away, the son Gong Shu Yinyu left behind by Erfang should be the first heir. This kid lost his father at a young age, but luckily he has a second old man who loves them and a shrewd and capable sister , and the uncle has no children under his knees, it is only logical that the family business falls to him.

Of course, he is too young to bear the burden of the entire family for the time being. After Gong Shuren died of illness, if he really wanted to find someone capable enough to support the loser, the third grandfather, Gongshu Jiu, and the fourth Grandpa Shucha is a better candidate.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that Gongshujiu and Gongshucha will have some conflicts on the surface. Of course, there are more temptations in the dark.

It's just that, now that the head of the family, Gong Shuren, is still there, Gong Shujiu and Gong Shucha are not too presumptuous, and no one will really use their capable people to go out to "do things".

Abu actually hates people like Gongshujiu, but he also has to admit Gao Yishui's words: "If the public loser is a seamless egg, how can we flies get in and get Wuxing Sinan?"

After a few glasses of wine, Gao Yishui and Gongshu Jiu had already had a very happy conversation. It was like a pair of close friends who rarely met. After a long discussion, he finally discussed with Gao Yishui in a low voice: "Mr. Gao thinks, how should we poke open this rotten sore now...and cure it thoroughly?"

Gao Yishui took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "Didn't the third master already have the answer in his heart? Otherwise, it's just a mere 'life-saving grace', just give a few hundred taels of silver and thank you in person, why bother?" Seriously invite us to drink?"

"Mr. Gao knows me." Gong Shujiu cupped his hands again, and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Gao mentioned this, I will say it clearly. Just one sentence, if Mr. Gao can pierce my rotten sore, Give it a complete cure, then you can ask for anything you want."

Whatever you want...you can just ask?Abu's heart moved, looking at Gongshu, he couldn't help but wanted to say: "We..."

However, as soon as his voice came out, it stopped abruptly. It wasn't because he suddenly couldn't continue speaking, but because he felt Cai Yan's foot stepping hard on his instep under the table.

He looked at Cai Yan with puzzled eyes, but Cai Yan looked like he was looking at a fool. In the process of holding a crab with chopsticks, he intentionally or unintentionally raised a finger and shook it around his mouth. .

Abu knew that she was warning him not to talk nonsense, but they came here for the loser, the Five Elements Sinan, and now they have such a good opportunity, why didn't they say it?

When he was still in a daze, he touched a broad palm on his leg. Abu looked at Gao Yishui, but Gao Yishui didn't even glance at him out of the corner of his eyes. Said: "I can give you anything you want? I'm embarrassed to speak when the third master said so."

Gongshu's promise is not insignificant, and of course Gao Yishui would not be so stupid as to really believe him——

Can a guy who thinks about how to plot against his own brothers and nieces all day long be someone worthy of entrustment?

Gongshu looked at Gao Yishui with a hearty smile, and laughed along with him. The two cups were paired in the air, and they both drank them in one gulp. Their eyes were so sincere that they couldn't be more sincere.

After chatting for a while, Gongshu straightened his body, and as he clapped his hands in the air three times, there was the sound of rustling footsteps outside the hall, and a maid came stepping slowly, holding a bag in her hands. The one-foot-square tray walked straight to Gao Yishui's side.

There was a faint smile on the corner of the maid's mouth, she bowed her body full of charm, her eyebrows, eyes and face were very delicate, even Abu could see at this moment that her behavior was to Show favor to Gao Yishui.

However, Gao Yishui's gaze didn't linger on the maid, but quickly fell on the tray covered with bright red cloth. Such a subtle reaction made Gongshu Jiu's eyes flash with brilliance.

Not lewd?Should that be love of money?

Gongshu cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Mr. Gao, this is a greeting gift. Caiwei, take off the cloth."

"No need, I'll do it myself." Gao Yishui looked a little anxious at the moment, and his breathing was a little short. He stretched out his hand, held the corner of the red cloth, and pulled it lightly. A golden light shone, illuminating Gao Yishui and others. human eye.

There are more than ten layers of gold leaves neatly stacked on the tray, and each piece is carved lifelike, as if hanging them on the branches, they will really flutter in the wind.

"This time I want to thank Mr. Gao for saving me from a dangerous situation, and secondly, I hope Mr. Gao will help me in the future..." Seeing that Gao Yishui could barely take his eyes off, Gong Shujiu laughed with satisfaction.

In this world, people who are greedy for money are easier to win over than those who are lustful. He also sent people to find out the details of Gao Yishui all day and night. Speaking of which, he was a little surprised when the servant came to report, because he never thought It's just that a seemingly down-and-out wandering luthier can have so many important names at the same time.

Chapter 349 A wild man?

While speaking, Gao Yishui couldn't hold back and reached out to grab the pieces of gold leaves. At this moment, the greedy look in his eyes no longer hides, like a hungry wolf seeing the flock of sheep that has been longing for him day and night generally.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Gao Yishui paused, and cupped his hands to Gongshu, his eyes still did not leave the golden leaves, and said: "Don't worry, third master, since we are destined, I will naturally help you with this favor. What's more The third master is so kind to invite me, how can I refuse?"

"Good! Good! Good!" Gongshu Jiu nodded again and again, laughing loudly, "Drink! Drink! I respect Mr. Gao!"

However, at this moment, there was a commotion in the courtyard under the pavilion. It seemed that the maid who came to serve food bumped into a woman. The swearing, the sound was so loud that the people upstairs could hear it clearly.

"Are your eyes all the way to your buttocks? You don't even look at them when you walk! Look at your soup, it's a good thing it's splashed on my legs. If it's splashed on my face, I won't be disfigured? "

The attention of the three of Gao Yishui was attracted to them for a moment, and they looked down at the woman from a high position. She was dressed in noble clothes, with red hairpins inserted in her bun, and she had a bit of grace, but her eyes were fierce, and she followed behind her. The two maids were also arrogant. Under the woman's instruction, they both stepped forward together, slapped left and right, and beat the maid who made a mistake until she cried heart-piercingly.

Gongshu Jiu's face turned red and white, and saw that Mrs. Huafu was his first wife. Although she was the head mother of the third room, it was understandable to dispose of a maid who made a mistake, but this upstairs was his Gongshu. Looking at the banquet for the guests, she abused wantonly here, turning the peaceful atmosphere in the hall into a mess, it was like slapping herself in the face in public!

Gongshu rolled his eyes, thinking that his wife, as the head mother of the third room, had a bad temper, but at any rate he knew the general situation, so he suddenly stood up and smiled awkwardly, "You three laughed, laughed ... The servants are ignorant, and my wife can't tolerate sand in her eyes, but she didn't distinguish the seriousness for a while, and didn't take the person away for punishment, which disturbed the good interest of the three. In this way...you eat first, and I will go Go and come."

Gao Yishui has already taken the tray with both hands, and the greedy look in his eyes has not faded away. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Where is there? Third Master, please go ahead, the three of us just wait here."

Gongshu Jiu babbled a few polite words again, but when he heard the scolding downstairs getting harsher and the crying more horrific, he finally couldn't hold back his face and left in a hurry.

For a while, all the servants and maidservants in the hall were completely removed. Abu turned his head and looked at Gao Yishui, only to find that his eyes had already returned to normal, even tinged with sarcasm.

"Want to bribe me with money?" Gao Yishui smiled contemptuously, "I used to be really tempted, but now my employer is Zhuge Wanling. In terms of strength, apart from those who are competing for supremacy, who can compare with him? Prime Minister Jing Wu has more weight?"

Abu just wanted to nod in agreement, but his expression suddenly became obscene, his hands drew arc-shaped lines in the void, and said with a smile: "But the maid's figure is pretty good, with protruding front and back, and a beautiful woman." The mole looks pretty even when she smiles, she's really charming."

Cai Yan rolled his eyes, and said, "Then why don't you just take that maid in as well? Wouldn't it be more to your liking to have both money and sex?"

"Go, let's play." Gao Yishui grimaced, grimacing, and casually handed the tray to Cai Yan, as if throwing away a piece of toilet paper that had wiped his butt.

Cai Yan took a tray of heavy gold leaves very generously, but she used the gold leaves to build a city wall on the tray and played a game of war. She is Cai Yong's daughter, and she has been loved by everything since she was a child. Even Li Qiuhuang, the lord of the Tang Kingdom, often ignored the rewards, let alone such a mere plate of golden leaves.

Abu looked at the two people who were calm and composed, and felt ashamed, so he could only silently drink a bowl of thick soup made from abalone, and licked his lips: "It's not very tasty."

Gao Yishui squinted and said with a smile: "Delicates from mountains and seas, do you think people really eat that taste?"

"What is that to eat?" Abu shook his head. He was born in poverty, and he just couldn't understand that a bowl of such food was worth a month or even several months of rations for ordinary people. If such money can be invested in ordinary people's homes, the world Where will there be people suffering from hunger and cold?

"The beauty of meat is the lips of orangutans, the beauty of fish is the bighead carp of Dongting." Gao Yishui said with a playful smile, "But in the final analysis, how can tender meat be so tender? What they are after is just a kind of 'possession'. People This is the biggest reason. It’s like the third master of the public loser. Even if he doesn’t fight for the property, he will be rich enough for the rest of his life, and he doesn’t have to work hard to manage the family. Come on, how can he be willing?"

He took a meaningful look at the table full of delicacies that hadn't been touched much: "On a larger scale, this world is like a table of delicacies, and the heroes who competed in the past are like the people who dine. You think their eyes are all here. In terms of dishes, they are actually fighting for the few chairs. Now there are only Jingwu, Canghai, Tang, and Mohists left in the world, and those who should be stepped on have already been stepped on... Next, they will It's time to fight for the exclusive right to enjoy this table."

It's a pity... the people who suffer in this world are those people who can't even see the legs of the bench.

Abu suddenly thought of those refugees outside Jinzhou city, all of them were ragged and listless. Some of them were lucky and traveled faster, and escaped to Jinzhou early and entered the city. After being displaced, at least they saved their lives. But then there were more and more refugees, and Jinzhou City gradually became overwhelmed. Yesterday, the gates of the city were temporarily closed, and refugees were no longer allowed to enter the city.

He had seen the tragic situation after the disaster in Wu County, and at that time he had no choice but to order the rioting refugees to be killed.But since then, he has always had a knot in his heart, feeling that he owed a debt, and one day, he will have to pay it back with his own hands.

It's just that this is not Jingwu, but Jinzhou, and what he can do is limited after all.

At this time, Gao Yishui started to fill a bowl of fish soup carelessly. A gust of wind swept through the clouds, and he said vaguely: "Who will get the world in the end? What does it have to do with me? I am a loner, wandering around the world, Live happily."

"Hey. Hey." Cai Yan pricked up his ears at this time, and while reaching out to poke Gao Yishui's arm, he said, "Did you hear that, they seem to be saying that their niece is back, and brought back a... wild man ?”

Her bright eyes suddenly flashed a bit of brilliance: "This public loser is very interesting. The uncle and niece and nephew are fighting openly and secretly. This niece is also a bold person. Marriage is a big deal, and she alone decides."

"You can be regarded as a hero in the female school." Gao Yishui smiled, and of course he also heard the movement below the pavilion.

It's just a pity that at this moment, the two people probably realized that talking here is easy to be heard, so they gradually moved away and disappeared.

With a "bang", the door was hastily closed by a pair of big hands, making a very discordant sound. Gongshu looked at the closed door and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

But when he released his hand from the doorknob, he realized that his hand was trembling a little.

3 Chapter Fifty

Yes, he is afraid.

He thought that his arrangement was perfect: in the name of the granary in the city being military rations, he advised that a large granary should not be opened to release grain. , and the niece Gongshu Yinxue was eager to prove her ability, so she volunteered to take up the burden, fell into the trap, and left Jinzhou City with her without saying a word.

Afterwards, he bought a few foreign priests to help him find practitioners, pretending that he wanted to recruit some guards to defend himself, but the people he found were disguised as stragglers of the Tang army and attacked the grain team outside the city Well, although the second old man had kept an eye on it and brought a priest from home with him, the person who came back earlier clearly said that the priest escaped in embarrassment with a sword in his chest, and it seemed that he would not live long.

However, when he heard that those "invited" practitioners had suffered heavy losses this time, he didn't dare to ask Gongshu Yinxue whether he was dead or alive. The person who returned only said that no one was left alive. Should be dead.

However, Gongshu Yinxue did not die, and came back intact...

If the matter of hiring a murderer is exposed...

Although the housekeeper's Gong Shuren has been lingering on the sick bed, his wrist is still there, and he has always hated family affairs the most, and it is not a matter of a word to deal with him.

But after thinking for a while, he gradually calmed down, turned around, looked at the panic-stricken wife, and said solemnly: "Yinxue...she really came back?"

"Oh, Lord, I would still tell you a lie about such an important matter?" Mrs. Lin said eagerly: "I heard it really from the side, that dead girl Yinxue is really not dead, it is said It was the wild man she brought back who saved her life, that's why she promised to marry him. After hearing this, the uncle not only didn't scold her for making decisions without permission, but praised her for knowing how to repay her kindness ..."

"Repaying kindness?" Gongshu's eyes widened, and there was a burst of anger in his words, "What kind of repaying kindness is this? Hey, he saved a life, so it's fine to give some money, gold and silver, anyway. The daughter of our public loser has her own elders to make decisions about her marriage. How can she just find a wild man outside and marry her? If the news spreads, where will we put the face of our public loser? Is the elder brother also in a daze? I don’t know The bastard boy who came from here is also worthy of marrying our public loser?"

"Master, I think there is something strange about this." Lin lowered her head, changed her eyes, thought for a long time and said, "Think about it, she is a girl, she should have married a few years ago, and her uncle loves him, so let her Pick young Junyan. But for several years, she didn't like any of them, because of what? Wasn't it to stay at home and help her brother fight with us? Now she also knows that she is too old to keep, so she chooses I thought of such a way to find a wild man to marry, so that she is still the daughter of a public loser, and naturally has the right to help her brother fight us."

Gongshujiu's face was heavy, and he said in a low voice: "You're right, I've already thought of that. It's just that I don't understand...why is she in such a hurry?"

Lin was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What do you mean?"

"She had just narrowly escaped death, but brought back a man in a hurry, no matter what, it was a bit too sudden." Gongshujiu mused, "I'm afraid that she has already guessed something... …Originally, this matter was not difficult to imagine. The way she traveled was arranged by the second old man, and only our family knew about it. As a result, she was attacked on the way, and everyone was killed. Except for me and the fourth child at home... …”

"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Lin was a little panicked, "If she really reports the matter to the uncle, then we..."

"What are you panicking!" Gong Shujiu yelled, "Even if she guessed that this matter is related to us, what evidence does she have to sue the uncle? The Tang Kingdom was already on the border of my Mohist family, and a small group of scouts took advantage of it. It's not impossible, why did she put this shit on our heads? You know, what the elder brother dislikes the most now is the fights among his own family, otherwise, why should the fourth child and I be so restrained, even our subordinates Don't dare to use it? She... probably can only suffer from being dumb."

There was a bit of hatred in his eyes, and he said: "If it weren't for the big brother to watch closely, it would be with the elm head of the fourth son... and Gongshu Yinxue, a half-grown girl who doesn't know good and bad, what can He De do?" Worth fighting with me?"

"Then what should we do now?" Lin's heart relaxed slightly, "Yinxue has returned to the house, and the uncle is preparing to clean her up at the moment. After a while, the uncle will definitely invite someone to invite us. When the time comes to eat at a table, we will have dinner again." How should I deal with myself?"

Gongshu Jiu snorted and said: "What else can I say? You are also her aunt after all. This time she escaped from death, you can just say more consoling scenes, what else do you want? Could it be that we are the second old lady's aunt?" Die, hug your head and cry?"

"Relieved? Will she believe it?"

"Believe it or not is her business. At least in front of the elder brother, we have to pretend to be good. I don't think there are many days left for the elder brother's body. Sooner or later he will die of illness in bed, but as long as he lives for a day, he will still be the loser." It's the final decision. This time it's not a loss-making deal, at least the second uncle didn't come back, right? Without this biggest backer, how much trouble can she make? The power of the housekeeper..." Gongshu gritted his teeth, " Sooner or later it will be mine."

"Go, go and have a look." He sneered, "I want to see, is this girl really attracted to this man, even if she doesn't care about her own face, she wants to agree with her body, or is she just planning to borrow this man to marry her?" , continue to stay at home and fight with us... No matter what, I will not let her succeed!"

After Gongshu made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, and even the original fear turned into a bit of anger at this moment.

But before that, he went back to the pavilion hall again, put on a smiling face, and said softly: "I'm sorry, you three, I just took care of some housework... um, are you still used to the dishes? Don't be polite, if there is anything that is not fully prepared, just point it out, since the public loser is here, I will always do my best to be a landlord."

But you are not yet a landlord.Gao Yishui sneered in his heart, but the smile on his face was like a sunflower in the spring breeze, making people look beaming.There is also the sincerity that can almost flow out of the eyes, so sincere that Cai Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes four or five times.

"Whatever, the courteous treatment of the third master has already flattered us. There are so many masters who have broken through the three realms. Even if we didn't make a move that day, with the strength of the losers, the three It's impossible for Grandpa to have an accident."

With a sound of "Puchi", Cai Yan couldn't help laughing out loud, then hurriedly pretended to talk to Abu's ear, and then put her ear to Abu's mouth, as if the two had been talking about something interesting just now .

Gao Yishui glared at her, Cai Yan was Cai Yan after all, just hearing that he was flattering Gongshujiu, although this Gongshujiao did not lack the masters of the three realms and the small masters, but those people were How could he obey his orders and be driven by him?Only the ancestors of Gongshuren or Gongshujia are eligible to be protected by them.

Secondly, these little masters who have broken the three realms are probably not young enough to make a move easily. After all, if Gongshu is tied up, they may immediately think of reporting to the government.

However, Gao Yishui's flattery hit Gongshujiu's heart, and his humble attitude also made Gongshujiu very useful. In this case, he did not hesitate to say something nice: "Mr. The little brother is also a person of great talent. He has already entered the third stage at a young age, and it is certain that he will become a little master in the future. And Mr. Gao himself is unparalleled in the world in piano skills, and he is also excellent in strategy. Even if someone is a different person, he will definitely have a place even if he enters a certain court, and Miss Cai is like a fish and a wild goose, with a graceful posture. Thinking about it, she is not an ordinary person. I am so lucky to have the help of three people..."

"Where where..."

"How dare you dare..."

Both of them are persistent, flattering each other with sympathy, you come and go, so happy.

Later, the smell of fart in the air was so strong that it almost made Cai Yan vomit, but Abu kept smiling wryly, thinking that if Qin Ke was here, he might not be able to stand kicking Gao Yishui under the table. .

However, after all, Gongshu wasn't thinking about it, so he stopped properly when he found a gap, told the three of you to "use it slowly", turned around and left the pavilion in a hurry.

Chapter 351 Sudden Goodbye

Gongshu went out the door, Lin was waiting for him at the end of the corridor, and the two walked towards the other direction of the mansion, one behind the other.

As soon as the person left, Cai Yan couldn't help spitting out the food in her mouth that was used as a cover. She laughed wantonly with a clear voice, pointing at Gao Yishui with one hand, but put it down again because her stomach hurt from laughing: "It's also thanks to you Being able to argue with him for so long, I almost vomited those words...haha..."

Gao Yishui gave her a blank look, and resentfully said: "You think I don't want to vomit? If it wasn't for this errand, why should I say such nasty things against my will?"

Cai Yan narrowed his eyes: "I didn't see how against your will at all, your words are as fluent as if you have said them a hundred times, and there is no flaw in your expression. Tell someone?"

"It's because of my good acting skills. You should praise me for being great, instead of belittling me here." Gao Yishui glanced at him and ate a spoonful of shrimp.

Cai Yan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "However, I'm more interested in another thing."

"I knew you would be interested..." Gao Yishui looked like an old and cunning businessman, just sniggering because he extorted a little more money from his customers.

"You too?" Cai Yan smiled like a little mouse that has succeeded in tricking, shrunk his head, covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered: "Why don't we go and see?"

Gao Yishui's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.
