[Comprehensive] Code of conduct for famous ministers

There is no signature on the signature of the short note, and it is obvious that such a piece of letter paper is not suitable for writing one's own name.

Yan Xiubai really appreciates the words on it, the handwriting is neat and sharp, and one can vaguely imagine the demeanor of its owner.

However, Yan Xiubai took pride in not expressing his thoughts when he saw the people who came to visit from time to time wiping his sweat with handkerchiefs.

The surname is Zhuang, Zhuangzi's Zhuang. The Zhuang family started by selling cloth and has been in business for several generations. Now it is also the top one among the wealthy households in Hezhou Prefecture.

Master Zhuang is a shrewd businessman. He has no hobbies in his life, but he likes to collect all kinds of jade. Jade can support people, and Master Zhuang is rich. There is nothing wrong with this hobby.

A few days ago, he got a new exquisite pagoda carved in white jade. It is said that it was a treasure buried with Emperor Taizong of the former dynasty. Yes, but who knew that it was such a treasure who was missed by the rampant thieves.

Yan Xiubai held the plain white note and smiled faintly: "The tone is indeed a little arrogant, but Zhuang's family has a great career, so it's not enough to be afraid of a small thief."

Master Zhuang got up quickly, cupped his hands and said: "Don't dare, dare not, I can't be called Mr. Zhuang, Sir, you can call me by my name."

"Elder Zhuang is an elder after all, and he is also an old man in Hezhou Mansion. I am a newcomer, and I will definitely need Elder Zhuang to take care of me in the future. A mere title is nothing."

Yan Xiubai still had some talent in coaxing people, and with a few words, Master Zhuang's face was flushed. Even though his heart was still burdened with something, he was much more relaxed than when he first entered the door.

The two of you came and I went back and forth for a while, before Master Zhuang smiled wryly and said: "If it was an ordinary thief, how could I be like a big enemy, what I fear is not the thief, but the tulip on this note. "

Yan Xiubai was surprised: "Is there any explanation for this?"

He was surprised, Master Zhuang seemed to be more surprised than him, looked at him strangely and said, "Have you never heard of Bandit Commander Chu Liuxiang?"

"Who is that?" Yan Xiubai blinked.

Master Zhuang had an incredulous expression on his face, as if it was quite ignorant not to know such a number one person.

Of course, he would not be so stupid as to say it in front of the magistrate, so he gave Yan Xiubai a popular science.

Chu Liuxiang, known as Bandit Commander, Fragrant Commander, is suave, resourceful, especially in lightness kung fu, which is probably unmatched by anyone in the world.

He has been famous all over the world for a long time. He is the generalissimo among robbers and the best son among hooligans. There are many stories about him, all of which are legends, or he himself is a legend.

"Although the old man is not from the rivers and lakes, he has heard many legends about him. The young master loses his beauty with flowers, and the handsome thief steps into the moon to leave his fragrance. This is Chu Xiangshuai."

Master Zhuang's tone was not entirely hatred, but a little admiration, which surprised Yan Xiubai.

It seems that although Chu Xiangshuai is an elegant thief who steals treasures, he is very popular, and even the suffering master who is about to be harmed by him did not try his best to discredit him.

Master Zhuang's words made Yan Xiubai a little curious about the legendary Chu Xiangshuai. Anyway, he was too busy, so he decided to take this trip himself.

The short note clearly marked the time when the other party came to steal the treasure. It is said that after receiving the tulip-scented letter paper, someone invited more than 20 Jianghu masters to guard the treasure designated by the thief commander. At the appointed time, the treasure was stolen under the eyes of more than 20 masters, and none of the twenty or so people noticed it. It was not until dawn that the owner opened the treasure box with a smile on his face, only to find that the contents inside were gone. And flew away.

It can be seen that the bandit handsome is terrible.

Yan Xiubai was aroused to be competitive, if it was him, could he stop this Chu Liuxiang?Boring days finally have some fun.

It was almost midnight, if it was a normal day, the people in the Zhuang Mansion would have fallen asleep long ago, but tonight was different.

The entire Zhuang Mansion was brightly lit, and more than 30 servants stood guard outside the hall with sticks, and all the doors and windows were tightly guarded to ensure that no fly could fly in.

In the hall, Mr. Zhuang, his two sons, and the two martial arts masters he hired with a lot of money were all sitting on chairs with solemn expressions. It is the treasure to be protected this time.

Yan Xiubai sat a little further away from them. He propped his chin and lay on the window sill, staring at the full moon in the sky for a long time.

The moon is bright and the stars are twinkling. Tomorrow should be a fine weather.

As the child's time gets closer, Mr. Zhuang's heart becomes more and more anxious, and he is not as calm as he shows. The two sons are afraid that he will not be able to bear it when he is old, so they have already urged him to go to bed several times. But they were all rejected by Mr. Zhuang.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yan Xiubai who was sitting by the window, walked over, cupped his hands and said, "My lord is tired."

Yan Xiubai turned around and nodded slightly, "Mr. Zhuang is very polite."

Elder Zhuang seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "It's an honor for the dealer to come here in person, but I'm a little old and don't understand, why don't my lord bring more officials over here?" The more people there are, the better the chance.

Yan Xiubai rubbed his chin and chuckled, "Some things cannot be solved with a lot of people."

"But tonight is special." Elder Zhuang sighed, "No one knows what will happen later, it's really not safe for your lord to come here alone."

In fact, he was a little distressed. He originally planned to ask the government to move some rescuers, but he didn't expect that the rescuers didn't move, but invited a big Buddha. If there was chaos later, he really didn't know what to do To protect the treasure, we should protect the Buddha first.

Just when Mr. Zhuang was annoyed and tangled, there was a sudden noise outside. At the critical moment, it was inevitable that his nerves were too tense. Mr. Zhuang jumped up almost immediately. The two masters guarded the brocade box closely. The son went out to see what happened.

The eldest son came back soon and said that there was a small fire in the firewood room and it was nothing serious.

Mr. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief at first, but soon became nervous again, even more nervous than before. If there is no fire in the morning, it will not happen later, but it happened at this time. Is there such a coincidence in the world?At least he absolutely does not believe it.

"Is that Bandit Commander here?" He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said nervously.

"Master Zhuang, don't worry, even if this chaos was created by Chu Liuxiang, as long as we are not fooled, his plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain will not succeed, and he will still be rampant under the noses of so many of us!"

"But, that so-and-so back then, didn't they invite more than 20 masters, and they still succeeded." Master Zhuang was worried, "Boss, what time is it now, has the time come yet?"

Under the nervous gaze of the old man, the boss of the dealer nodded his head with great difficulty.

"How credible are the rumors in the Jianghu? Go to Wuying, supernatural powers."

Old man Zhuang was even more dizzy. The two masters he invited were good in every way, but the younger one was too young and arrogant. The other party was a few years younger than his second son, but he couldn't offend them. The last thing these business people want to provoke is the grievances of the Jianghu.

"Alas..." A sigh came, and Yan Xiubai said something that shocked everyone in a very calm voice, "But the other party has already succeeded."

"what?!"

Mr. Zhuang ran over at a speed that definitely didn't match his age, and the one-foot-tall brocade box was placed there neatly, without any sign of being tampered with.

The four people looked at Yan Xiubai suspiciously with four pairs of eyes. If it wasn't for his special status, some people might not be able to help but get angry at him.

Yan Xiubai raised his chin, and said indifferently, "Open it and have a look."

What he said was so sure that Mr. Zhuang's heart skipped a beat, he took out the key from his bosom, and opened the brocade box on the table.

The empty box made everyone stunned. They didn't understand how the things disappeared under their noses. In the hall, no one came in except them!

Almost trembling, Mr. Zhuang took out a piece of letterhead from the box, and the mysterious and strong smell of tulips came to his nostrils.

There is only one word on the note - thank you.

The handwriting is tall and straight, with hidden sharpness.

The first reaction of the two masters was to run outside, trying to find traces of Chu Liuxiang.

The boss of the dealer supported his father to sit down, comforted him, handed him water, and patted his chest. He was very busy all of a sudden.

Yan Xiubai finally stood up. He straightened his clothes, casually touched the dagger hidden in his cuff with his fingertips, and said softly, "Since you're here, why bother to hide your head? The beams are dirty. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sit down, and just let me see what the well-known Chu Xiangshuai looks like in the world."

The weight of this sentence was not lower than that just now, Mr. Zhuang stopped panting and trembling, and both father and son looked at Yan Xiubai, their eyes widened.

But Yan Xiubai looked up at the beam, and not long after, a chuckle sounded, the laughter was magnetic and sweet, and it was indescribably elegant and pleasant.

Under Yan Xiubai's gaze, a blue figure fell down lightly, with agile and elegant movements, and there was no sound when it landed on the ground.

Yan Xiubai nodded secretly, just by looking at it, one can see that the rumor that Bandit Marshal is unparalleled in lightness, that there is probably no one in the world who can match him, is probably true.

"I've heard of Chu Xiangshuai's reputation in Jianghu for a long time. When I saw him today, he really deserves his reputation." This sentence was of course a lie. After all, he only found out that there was such a person as Chu Liuxiang in this world this morning.

"Don't dare." The man rubbed his nose and smiled wryly.

"Chu Xiangshuai why bother to be self-effacing." Yan Xiubai said sincerely: "You are really fast when you strike. I think my eyesight is pretty good, but I didn't see your movements clearly."

"If it's really fast, I won't be discovered by you. If you sit there, you will cut off all the ways for me to leave." Chu Liuxiang said helplessly, "If I had known that there was a number one person like you in Hezhou Prefecture, I would not have come .”

It's good now, being caught in the urn, is this the first time he has missed?If Lao Hu finds out, he will die of laughter!
