Kirin family

The Langchong Mountains spanned the entire dynasty, and even the country was divided into two parts. The security in the south of the mountain was excellent, while the north of the mountain was in chaos.Most of the boundaries in the south of the mountain are called Yang, while those in the north of the mountain are mostly called Yin and Sichuan. You can know where it is just by looking at the name of the place.The distance between Xingyang and Fuyang is not too far, after more than ten days, Gu Ya and his party arrived at the border of Xingyang.

Zhou Yunfeng's death didn't seem to have any effect on Zheng Shaoheng. The four sworn brothers had turned against each other long ago because of Song Qingsong's death, and more or less people in the Jianghu knew something about it. Naturally, it is not surprising that Zheng Shaoheng married his wife just after Zhou Yunfeng died.On the contrary, because this wife had some relationship with Zhou Yunfeng's widow, they all focused their eyes on Xingyang City.

"It's terrible." Qi Guanyan opened the curtain of the carriage, and whispered to Gu Ya: "In such a chaotic scene, I still think I went to Shanbei by myself. There have been no accidents in Shannan in the past few years. It is really unimaginable." There is still such a day."

Gu Ya looked out along the curtain of the car he opened. The streets outside are spacious and flat, with many shops and hawkers shouting one after another. Except for some Jianghu people with swords and swords, it looks like any city in the south of Shannan. There is no difference, but it is three points busier and richer than Fuyang City.

"Chaos?" Gu Ya frowned and looked at Qi Guanyan.

Qi Guanyan nodded, and pointed at a girl who was wearing an apricot-colored skirt and Ping Ping Tingting walked past: "Look at her, her hands are pale, her knuckles are swollen, she looks like she is practicing hand kung fu, and the hairpin carving on her head It is a swallow, it should be Yan Xiaotong, the 'little flying swallow' who has been quite famous in Jianghu for the past two years, although she has not yet been ranked in the list of celebrities in Jianghu, but her ranking should be around [-]."

Gu Ya nodded, he didn't know much about these people, so let's just listen to what Qi Guanyan said.

Qi Guanyan knew at a glance that he didn't listen, and whispered: "Don't look down on her, why is she not on the list, do you know?" Gu Ya shook his head: "I don't know." "Because she didn't do it. The business of licking blood with the tip of a knife." Qi Guanyan put down the curtain of the car: "She is a well-known habitual thief. 'Xiao Feiyan' is just a good name. In the past, most people in Shanbei called her 'Liangshang Feiyan'. I heard that she They all went in and turned around."

"Snitch?" Gu Ya raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested.

"That's right." Qi Guanyan nodded: "It's not just her, I also saw a few thieves with famous names earlier, I'm afraid they all have their own plans."

Gu Ya touched the cloud pattern ring on his finger: "They want to steal the treasure map?"

"Who knows." Qi Guanyan sighed: "Xingyang was already in chaos in Shannan, but now it's even more chaotic. With everyone gathered here, I'm afraid the days to come will not be peaceful."

Gu Ya wanted to say something more, but the carriage stopped suddenly, and the disciple driving the carriage said in a low voice, "Master, we're here."

"Understood." Gu Ya responded, and the door of the carriage was opened, and the disciples outside jumped out of the car, and brought a stepping bench. Neither Gu Ya nor he used these, but Qi Guanyan still needed them. Yes, when he jumped out of the car and almost sprained his foot when he was on the way, the small bench has been hung beside the carriage.

The place where the carriage is located is a secluded courtyard. There is only one main house and two side rooms. The courtyard is very clean. Outside the courtyard gate is a bluestone road. where to go.

"Villa Master." Yan Xiuwen and Lin Xuan came here one step ahead of Gu Ya, seeing Gu Ya and Qi Guanyan got off the car and walked over: "Xingyang is not peaceful, so I dare not live outside, this is Liuyun Villa's own property. It’s much safer to live here than outside, we’ll rest here for now, and the manager here will come over later.”

Gu Ya nodded: "Well, I got it, let them prepare water..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Qi Guanyan ask with a smile: "Doctor Yan, this place is so beautiful, what kind of business is it?"

Lin Xuan's face was a little uncomfortable, and he replied coyly, "It's... the backyard of a teahouse."

Although Gu Ya didn't care about things, he also knew that the teahouse would not have such a big backyard, so he frowned suspiciously: "Teahouse?"

Qi Guanyan immediately understood, winked at Lin Xuan and said, "The kind of teahouse where there are girls drinking tea with you? Isn't that right?" Lin Xuan was a little embarrassed, and responded with a muffled "Yes."

Gu Ya didn't react for a while, but when he realized it, he was a little unnaturally embarrassed at first, and then he immediately became angry. Liuyun Villa does not involve casinos and brothels, and he usually doesn't look carefully at those account entries. Seeing him open a brothel and come out: "Lin Xuan!"

Lin Xuan quickly replied: "Vendor Master, I can't help it. Xingyang is a city of wind and moon. It seems that anyone can come here if you want to spend time and money, but it's not easy to get in. People from the government have to look at Zheng Shaoheng three times. If I don't follow the trend and squeeze into a brothel, I'm afraid there won't be a place for us here now."

Gu Ya's face was not very good-looking, and he wanted to say something more, but Qi Guanyan smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, why are you angry... Although Liuyun Villa doesn't do these things, Manager Lin always has his reasons, otherwise Wouldn't it be embarrassing now? Besides, although Guanshi Lin opened this brothel, no one in the world has talked about Liuyun Villa, so he must have done a good job."

Lin Xuan nodded: "When I first opened the brothel, I didn't say that it was Liuyun Villa's property. I only recorded it under the name of the steward here. According to the obvious, this is actually her shop."

Gu Ya kept a straight face, as if he was very angry, he only stared at Lin Xuan, and didn't speak.

Seeing that the atmosphere was really embarrassing, Qi Guanyan coughed lightly and said, "Then invite the steward here, it's not easy for her to support such a large property for Liuyun Villa, so she should get to know her well."

Just as Lin Xuan was about to speak, he heard a woman's voice coming from the gate of the yard: "This young man can really talk, I am very happy to hear that." Qi Guanyan passed Lin Xuan to look at the gate of the yard, and saw a woman leaning towards him. Leaning obliquely on the arched door at the entrance of the yard, holding a black gold and jade pipe in his hand, he was watching him puffing and puffing.

The girl was extremely beautiful, she was around thirty years old, she was no longer the youngest and most charming girl, but her age did not affect her appearance, she still looked stunning.

"This is Mingyue, the steward of Caiyunxuan." Lin Xuan said to Gu Ya and Qi Guanyan: "She has been here for about five years, and she has been in charge of Caiyunxuan's affairs in the past five years. There are many romantic places in Xingyang, It was also through her means that Caiyunxuan gained a foothold in Xingyang City."

Mingyue twirled her pipe in her hand, tapped the ash into the pouch tied around her waist, then put the pipe into her sleeve, and bowed to Gu Ya and Qi Guanyan: "Mingyue, I have seen you The owner, the owner's wife."

Qi Guanyan couldn't help being a little embarrassed, it's a bit delicate to be called Mrs. Zhuang by such a beautiful woman.

Gu Ya unexpectedly calmed down, not as angry as he was at first, he nodded to Mingyue and said: "Ms. Mingyue." Qi Guanyan followed him and nodded to Mingyue: "Ms. Mingyue."

Mingyue smiled and said: "This is the first time for the slave family to see the owner of the villa, there are so many things to report, the owner will not invite the slave family to sit in?" Gu Ya is not very good at dealing with women, he was originally standing side by side with Qi Guanyan Blocking the path, after hearing this, he turned sideways and squeezed aside with Qi Guanyan, leaving a passage for Mingyue.

Mingyue smiled and walked into the room first, twisting her waist and hips.

Qi Guanyan stabbed Gu Ya with his elbow: "Why are you treating me like this?" Gu Ya looked at him blankly, "Huh?" Caiyunxuan is here now, it’s not easy for a girl, since you are the owner of the villa, you have to praise her no matter what.”

Gu Ya nodded in a daze: "Let's talk later."

Qi Guanyan shook his head, followed Mingyue into the room, and Gu Ya followed at the end in a daze.

"This Xingyang is becoming more and more abnormal now." Mingyue didn't seem to have any concept of master and servant. She sat down at the small table by herself, picked up the melon seeds in the small basket on the table, and knocked: "Xingyang was in Xingyang before Zhou Yunfeng died. There has already been a change, and the slave family knew what was going to happen at that time. Unfortunately, during that time, the entire city of Xingyang was closed, let alone the messenger, and even the bird that sent the letter could not fly out. By the time the ban was lifted, Zhou Yunfeng was already dead. gone."

"You said there was a change in Xingyang at that time?" Qi Guanyan looked at Mingyue, seemingly a little surprised: "Could it be that Zheng Shaoheng also intervened?"

"What meddled." Mingyue shook her head: "Let the servants see it, I'm afraid he killed him."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience was stunned, and Qi Guanyan tentatively said: "Ms. Mingyue, you can't talk nonsense. If someone with a heart listens to it, the situation will become more complicated." Mingyue let out a disdainful "tch". , slapped the melon seed husks on the table: "They are all from my own family. Are you still afraid that you will go out and gossip? Why? Look down on Caiyunxuan?"

As soon as she said this, Qi Guanyan immediately apologized with a smile: "Miss Mingyue is serious, it's my fault."

Mingyue snorted softly, seemed a little unhappy, but didn't take it to heart, and continued: "At that time, Kui Yongtang said that Zheng Shaoheng was ill, and he hadn't appeared on the streets of Xingyang for more than half a month, and Xingyang was closed again. In the beginning, everyone thought that he was plotted by someone, and he was about to die, and the children in their family were not up to the mark. If Zheng Shaoheng really disappeared in Kui Ning Hall, I am afraid that it will become a mess in a few years. We are waiting As for the news of Zheng Shaoheng's death, I didn't expect to hear the news of Zhou Yunfeng's death."

"Aren't you laughing to death? If the sworn brother passed away, it would be a big blow, right? Zheng Shaoheng is fine. Zhou Yunfeng died for more than ten days, and he reappeared, vowing to avenge Zhou Yunfeng , It’s only been half a month since Zhou Yunfeng Sanqi passed, and he’s about to marry a wife, so what’s the revenge?” Mingyue said to Gu Ya: “Later, I calculated the time and calculated the left and right, I’m afraid It was Zheng Shaoheng who moved his hand."

"I'm afraid Song Yan is afraid that Zhou Yunfeng's family will not be able to kill dozens of people with his own efforts." Lin Xuan sighed: "Zheng Shaoheng killed someone, Song Yan? Is he responsible for venting his anger?"

Gu Ya mused, "I'm afraid the relationship between Zheng Shaoheng and Zhou Yunfeng is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I'm afraid the two have deep grievances, otherwise Song Yan would not ask Zheng Shaoheng for help."

"So," Qi Guanyan straightened his mind: "Song Yan and Zheng Shaoheng had formed an alliance a long time ago. When Song Yan went down the mountain, Zheng Shaoheng and Song Yan joined forces to kill Zhou Yunfeng, and then returned to Xingyang without stopping, while Song Yan stayed behind. After arriving in Fuyang City, while killing the rest of the Zhou family, while searching for the whereabouts of the treasure map and the Qilin sword, come to Xingyang to join Zheng Shaoheng after finding the things?"

Mingyue nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case."
