Just remember

Ruoshui Xiaozhu is quiet and quiet throughout the year, and the bustle of the past few days seems to have made up for the popularity of the past years.

But thinking about it carefully, Liuli left directly, and Pei Xiaoyi came in sideways and stood out, which was equivalent to a one-way movement, so only Qi Wanguan was left who came and came back and came again. Therefore, this brother did his part and became the main force of the uproar——

"Master Ding, sit still. The secret I'm going to tell you next will set off a bloody turmoil. If it's bigger, it may directly overturn the foundation of the Central Plains martial arts for thousands of years!"

"So serious? Then what should I do? Will I be responsible after I hear it? I, can I stop listening..."

"That won't work! How can I let you waste money!"

"Then... well then, I'll sit still, please speak."

"This time, for you and Chun Shaoxia, I really went into the tiger's lair, entered the dragon pool, the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire..."

Chun Jinran, who sent the man back home, heard Qi Wanguan complain about the history of blood and tears as soon as he entered the door. You don't need to look at it, you can imagine the man's spit flying all over the place.

"Pray to the Lord," interrupted without making a sound, fearing that his soul will return to the west, "We are so shy in our pockets that we really have no way to add more money."

The face that was originally full of energy suddenly became unrequited. Turning around, Chongchun nodded slightly, and his voice was half-dead: "I knew it. Sit down, I just don't need to say it twice."

Chun Jinran picked a chair closest to Qi Wanguan and sat down, suddenly feeling nervous for no reason, as if what he was going to hear next was not about other people's secrets of the world, but about his own life and death.

Seeing that the customers were all seated, Qi Wanguan cleared his throat, bowed his head for a while, finally raised his head, and said faintly, "I don't even have a bowl of tea..."

Chun Jinran, who held his breath in anticipation, almost fell under the stool: "It's okay to buy you a drink after finishing speaking!"

Only then was the owner of Qi satisfied, restrained his jokes, and said in a serious tone: "Chun Shaoxia asked Wanguanlou to inquire about everything about Pei Xiaoyi, but after our investigation, we found that there are too few clues about Pei Xiaoyi left in the Jianghu. Mysterious, but he is even more mysterious than Tianranju, so even if a lot of information is found out, there is no way to determine whether it is true or not, I hope you understand."

Chun Jinran nodded, expressing her understanding.

After finishing the foreshadowing, the next step is the main text: "Pei Xiaoyi's first appearance on the rivers and lakes, or the first time there is evidence to check, was 13 years ago, when Xiahou Zhengnan, the owner of Xiahou Villa, celebrated his 90th birthday. On. At that time, he came to celebrate his birthday with Mrs. Jin, but because of the large number of guests, few people noticed this teenager. Fortunately, he has a pretty face, and Kuyi Shitai of the Xuanmiao School always remembers him. until now."

"Are you sure the source of the news is... Master Kuyi?" Although Qi Wanguan had a rare serious face at this time, "a highly respected monk girl remembered a boy in his early ten years because of his good-looking appearance." This incident seriously shakes Chun Jinran's perception of everything in this world.

"Of course," Qi Wanguan nodded without hesitation, "We inquired about this from Kuyi Shitai's most trusted disciple. She said that she went out with Master three years ago and met Pei Xiaoyi by chance. Tai then recalled the first meeting in Xiahou Villa back then, and said that at that time, she felt that this child was obviously good-looking, but his eyes lacked vitality. He never thought that when we saw each other ten years later, there would be vitality in his eyes, but there was something hidden under the vitality. But it’s deeper, it’s uncomfortable, and it’s hard to forget.”

"So this is the reason why Master Kuyi is so unforgettable..."

"Yeah, it's obviously very beautiful..."

"The point is the second half of the sentence that is lifeless!" Chun Jinran rolled his eyes, but stopped entangled with the other party, "Forget it, you continue." Yes.You must know that the Xuanmiao sect is not only full of women like Tianranju, but also has one more procedure than Tianranju - becoming a monk, so Qi Wanguan can get news from the nuns, which is really awe-inspiring.

"Then let's go back to 13 years ago," Qi Wanguan tried to follow the timeline, "After Xiahou Zhengnan's birthday banquet, Pei Xiaoyi often followed Mrs. Jin, but because Mrs. Jin hardly showed up in the Jianghu, so Only a few aristocratic patriarchs such as Hang Bandit and Xiahou Zhengnan who had some personal relations with her knew that there was such a person around her. Until recent years, Tianranju's petty actions have become more and more, and he seems to have gradually become Tianranju's Spokesperson, many things are done by him.”

Chun Jinran frowned, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his heart: "The little trick you mentioned is..."

Qi Wanguan pondered for a moment: "This is just my understanding, and it may not be appropriate. But there are signs that a large part of the inexplicable and sudden deaths of people with surnames in the world in the past two years have something to do with Tianranju."

"Perhaps, this is their business," Chun Jinran recalled what Pei Xiaoyi said, everyone has to eat, "Like Anhualou, it's not just a group of killers who are paid to kill people."

"However, there is a clear price tag for the money and murder in the Anhualou," Qi Wanguan said, "They only keep the identities of their customers secret, but they will never keep their own actions secret. That's why there is such a rule in Jianghu , For those who are killed by the Anhualou, the bitter master wants to seek revenge and go to the client, if someone who is not open-minded finds the Anhualou, no one will bury him if he dies."

"Indeed, if Anhualou had murdered people secretly from the very beginning, it wouldn't have achieved the reputation it has today." Chun Jinran was thoughtful.The rivers and lakes are like a pool of ferocious beasts. In order to survive, you will kill me and I will kill you every day. However, whether it is a confrontation in a narrow road, or a revenge and revenge, there will always be a reason, and the winner is Wang, sometimes killing people is also a chance to become famous.So like inexplicable sudden death, either the cause of death cannot be found out, or the murderer cannot be found out even if the cause of death is found out, it seems very strange.

"But it's strange. So far, there is no evidence that Tianranju wants to do something earth-shattering and bad. As for secretly providing some assistance to those who want to harm others, it can also be understood as women. The means of doing business are elusive, so to speak. OK." Qi Wanguan shrugged his shoulders, giving Tianranju's behavior a certainty.

Chun Jinran accepted this explanation. After all, Mrs. Jin's business experience has nothing to do with him. It just happened that the person he cared about stepped on this business circle: "You said that Pei Xiaoyi first appeared 13 years ago. The implication is that all his previous life experience cannot be tested, right?"

I thought that Qi Wanguan would use the slope to get down the donkey. After all, it is amazing to be able to find out what happened 13 years ago. Tianranju acted so secretly, but unexpectedly the man pretended to shake his head and said, "No, no. It was him 13 years ago. The time when he first appeared on the rivers and lakes was not the first time when he appeared in my Wanguanlou's line of sight."

Chun Jinran resisted the urge to practice martial arts, and continued to greet him with a smile: "All ears."

"The next thing I want to talk about is that there is no way to determine whether it is true or not. Anyway, what I found out is what it is, so I will tell you exactly what it is." Qi Wanguan first put aside the relationship before continuing, "Ms. Jin It was announced to the public that Pei Xiaoyi was an orphan who was met by her when she was four years old. Seeing that she was pitiful, she adopted him as a foster son and brought him up carefully. However, according to the information obtained from many sources, Pei Xiaoyi was taken away by Mrs. Jin when she was four years old. Huitianju is true, but no one knows who his parents are and whether they are really dead. In addition, Mrs. Jin is not as loving as she claims. I found a maid who escaped from Tianranju Of course, she is now anonymous, and she is probably not an important person, so Mrs. Jin did not kill her. According to her, Mrs. Jin treated this adopted son harshly and cruelly, especially in the first few years when Pei Xiaoyi was still A milk doll who doesn't understand anything, is often beaten by Mrs. Jin with a whip for trivial matters. Often the old wounds are not healed, and new wounds are added. There is no meal, and sometimes he is even starved on purpose. He didn't dare to cry, because if he cried, he would be beaten again, and he would even eat leaves when he was so hungry. If it weren't for some maids who couldn't stand it and gave him something to eat from time to time, he probably wouldn't be able to grow up..."

"Stop talking," Ding Ruoshui, who had been silent all this time, interrupted, his brows were tightly frowned, his eyes were reddened, and his voice was a little hoarse, "It's too uncomfortable to listen to."

Talking about Ding Ruoshui, even Chun Jinran, when he thinks of such a little child, who should be acting like a baby in the arms of his parents, but suffers from this, it feels like someone is squeezing his heart hard, twitching and twitching. ground pain.

"Well, if these are true, I can only say that the heart of a woman is the most poisonous." Qi Wanguan sighed, "Fortunately, he persisted and grew up slowly. Madam Jin probably saw that he could do something for her. When the matter is over, the attitude will ease, and he will be regarded as his right-hand man."

Chun Jinran was upset, but still had doubts: "Why do you think these might be fake?"

Qi Wanguan replied: "First of all, this is just a one-sided statement of the fled maidservant. It's hard to guarantee that she didn't hate Mrs. Jin and deliberately smeared it with embellishments; second, if Mrs. Jin really treated Pei Xiaoyi so cruelly, why didn't he grow up? To run away, you must know that when he came out to do things for Tianranju, he had a lot of opportunities to disappear directly, but not only did he not, but he continued to work for Tianranju, wouldn't it make sense?"

No, if you add Pei Xiaoyi's poisonous body, it makes sense, including Pei Xiaoyi's vigilance, distrust and even hostility towards people, it all makes sense.

"Chun Shaoxia?" Qi Wanguan didn't wait for Laichun's serious response, and saw that he was lost in thought and didn't know what he was thinking, so he could only make a sound.

"It's okay." Chun Jinran smiled, subconsciously concealing the fact that Pei Xiaoyi was poisoned, and only asked, "Is there anything else?"

A trace of frustration flashed across Qi Wanguan's face: "No more. This person is really simple and clear. As long as he shows up in the Jianghu, he must be doing things for Tianranju. He has no sense of existence on weekdays, as if there is no such person in the Jianghu. Yes. But—” he changed the subject, “Tianranju is like this, but the girl Jin Liyun is more lively and walks around the rivers and lakes more. In other words, if I have a face that is as beautiful as a country, I am willing to do it more. Come out and walk around, who doesn't love the feeling of being surrounded by stars."

"Jin Liyun?" Chun Jinran knew that this was the young owner of Tianranju, Mrs. Jin's favorite jewel, but didn't know her appearance, "...is she beautiful?"

Qi Wanguan nodded fiercely for the first time: "It is light to say that sinking fish, falling geese, closing the moon and shameful flowers are all light. It is like a nine-day fairy descending to the mortal world. It is said that some people only saw her once, but they did not eat or drink. Lovesickness became sick, and they died of depression!"

"Understood, I understand, don't get excited." Chun Jinran wiped away the saliva splashed on his face with his sleeve in disgust.

When the inn first met Pei Xiaoyi, he seemed to be looking for Jin Liyun who had run away from home. If he was really Mrs. Jin's adopted son, he would be Jin Liyun's adopted brother. Logically, he should be very familiar with him, even close.Although Madam Jin may not have treated him well, how should he feel about such a beautiful and lovely younger sister?

Chun Jinran found that he was not willing to think deeply about this issue.
