Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 29 The Tang Family (2)

"The Tang family asked me to do it!" Zhao Si hissed with tears streaming down his face.

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng looked at each other.It is impossible for this Zhao Si to know their relationship with the Tang family, but he called out the only family in Hanye City who had a relationship with them, so it is certain that he is telling the truth this time.

Since the enemy has such a big background, of course they have to silence them.Gu Feng added a sword and sent Zhao Si back to the west.

Then, the two turned out of the house, went to a place where no one was there, dealt with their whereabouts, and secretly discussed: "Let's rest for the night first, and tomorrow, we will split up and investigate the news of the Tang family."

The plan was made, and the two returned to Fengqi Inn to rest.

On the second day, the sky was about to rain before it rained, and it was gloomy for half the day, with lightning beating in the distant clouds.

On Yanxing Street, in a small restaurant, the drunken guests were still making loud noises to show off their knowledge, clamoring that winter thunderstorms are unique to Leizhou.According to legend, the accompanying wizard at that time said that Donglei was an omen of dragon movement.

Gu Feng sat alone on a small table outside the restaurant, holding two glasses horizontally.

After a while, Ye Ziqi also came wearing a straw hat.

"Have you heard clearly?"

Ye Ziqi nodded, sat opposite Gu Feng, drank the wine glass and said:
"The Tang family is indeed a rich family. Our ancestors were prime ministers in our country of Ju. Now these two generations have declined, and only Tang Sizhou, the old man of the Tang family, is still working in the weaving and dyeing department of the Shaofu. In Tang Zhao's generation, he simply abandoned his official position and went into business. Although the power is no longer, but after all, he participates in the management of a country's finances, and I heard that the luxurious furnishings in the mansion are as expensive as before."

Gu Feng said indifferently: "Of course, this kind of rich and noble family will not feel the same way as people like us. You go and tell them that the Ye family is gone and it is difficult to keep the previous appointment. You have fulfilled your responsibility to him, but they will only think, A poor family has wasted a piece of silk cloth on them, and it is not enough to pay for their lives."

Ye Ziqi Nai said: "My mother taught me to do my duty to others since I was a child. I do what I should do, and what he does is his business."

"Almost died, do you still think so?"

"Some ideas are different."

"Understood? It's nothing, you have to listen to your parents."

"I get it - not everyone has a mother-in-law."

"Cough, cough cough..." Gu Feng choked on a rare occasion.

People who read a lot, swearing is different.Gu Feng thought to himself.

The light rain fell, pattering, as fine as needles.

"After this rain, some people in Huazi Cave will freeze to death again." Ye Ziqi said with emotion.

"Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered that when I was inspecting the Tang Mansion just now, a few sedan chairs left the mansion and went to the Fragrant Leaf Tower. It is said that there are little monsters sleeping in the Xiaojin Cave, so it is warm in winter."

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone?"

"Yes. Are you saying that those who died of freezing were wronged? When they died, they could only look at those dignitaries and dignitaries, enjoying themselves behind the lights and windows, but they didn't know that it was those people who created the 'loss, help' There are more than 'human truths, I should hate them."

"Ah."

"This is also a lie. So what if it's hatred, do you dare to take revenge with them if you hate it?" Ye Ziqi shook his glass lightly: "But I've been a wimp all my life, why don't I dare?"

Gu Feng put down his wine glass: "Do you want revenge?"

"Correct."

Lightning is like a snake running between the windows of the houses, and the thunder suddenly explodes in the ears, indicating that the storm is coming.

"Yezi, you are always looking for death."

"I want to die."

"why?"

"Because I've sorry too many people." Ye Ziqi lightly sipped his wine glass: "I hate horse thieves, and I want to avenge them every day. But I also know that what I hate the most is actually myself.

Do you remember?Before the horse thief entered the mountain, what did I do to my parents and Ye Lingsha?Every day I go to recall the events of that day, but living like this is really too painful.

I should have entered the demon way a long time ago, my incompetence made them all die, and my stupidity made them restless before they died! "

Gu Feng didn't say anything, just poured wine for Ye Ziqi again.

"Gu Feng, what you said is right. People in the Tang Mansion will not feel the same way as us, because their lives are valuable, but mine is not.

But since I myself feel that my life is worthless, why should I be submerged in the sea of ​​mediocrity full of hardships and burdens?I'd rather have a happy one. "

"Yes." Gu Feng just agreed.

"Don't just tell me." Ye Ziqi said helplessly: "How about you? You are the one who has been favored by the Hanshan Demon Elimination Sect. You should have a good future. There is no need to accompany me to take risks."

"To die with you? Thinking too much." Gu Feng poured himself a cup, "Yezi, I only want to tell you one thing."

"what?"

"I was also taught by my mother."

"what?"

"My mother also taught me to do my duty to others. If I have enmity with others, I have to repay it. This is also my duty to others!"

"boom!"

Thunder boomed.

Glasses collided.

"go!"

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng stood up.

"Wait two!"

A cry stopped them.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier, and the drinkers were already rushing home, and it was a waiter who stopped them at this moment.

"We paid for the wine." Gu Feng said.

"It's not about the money for the wine." Xiaoer said: "Could it be that you two are going to the Tang Manor to make trouble?"

When Ye and Gu heard the words, their faces changed drastically, and they thought that their voices were not loud, and the sound of rain was mixed with other people's noises, so could this be heard?Is this okay?Dang even wanted to leave.

But Xiao Er immediately stretched out his hand to grab the two of them, Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng pulled their arms together, but they couldn't pull them away. They were shocked to realize that this person had kung fu, he was only taller than them, and his face became even uglier for a while.

"Don't panic, you two! I'm not your enemy!" The shop clerk said anxiously: "Although I don't know what kind of festival you have with the Tang Mansion, but if you go to the Tang Mansion to make trouble, please take your subordinates with you. I'll wait for this day, and I will Been waiting for a year!"

"Huo Er, what are you doing? The guest officer has already given you money, how dare you stop him?" the restaurant owner shouted angrily.

The rain hit the three of them, looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Boss, the two of us and this Mr. Huo Er are old acquaintances, and I just recognized it. Let us have a few drinks, and we will pay for the drinks." Ye Ziqi said.

"No problem. There is only your table left, let Huo Er serve you two."

The waiter then heaved a sigh of relief and let go of their wrists.

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng pulled another stool, sat down and said, "Let's talk."

"Don't dare to sit down." The waiter clasped his fists and said, "You two young heroes, to tell you the truth, my name is Huo Geng, and I used to be the shopkeeper of Yimanying Pawnshop."

This time it was Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng who stood up.

"I'm sorry. Brother Huo, please sit down first. I heard that there is a pawn shop in Hanye City, and even ten thousand taels of silver can't afford it. Why—"

"This is going to tell a joke to the two of you." Huo Geng said, finally sat down, took a sip of wine, and said:

"In the final analysis, it was the Tang family who caused it! You two, let me have a drink and listen slowly."

"I am originally the son of the Huo family, and my family was originally a big family on Jinyun Street. When I was 25 years old, my father asked me to take over the pawn shop at home due to physical disabilities. I have been in business for two years, and I dare not say anything Business is booming, at least the reputation of the store is getting better and better.”

"But there are unpredictable things in the sky, and there are villains in the world. One day, a bastard named Jia Huajing came to my shop and wanted to be a family-inspired fire method. My family has been in trouble since then!"

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng served Huo Gengman the wine again.

Huo Geng said with anger on his face, "At that time, we appraised this volume of exercises. The sixth grade of the ground volume was only worth 3000 taels of silver at most, but he insisted on selling it for [-] taels. If it is sold, it will be sold." Give us a half commission."

"We thought, anyway, we just came here for consignment, and we agreed without paying anything. After more than three months, although people occasionally asked, when we knew the price, we were so scared that we stuck out our tongues and refused to bargain. of."

"If it's not that Jia Huajing is a layman or an idiot, then there is something wrong with it?" Gu Feng asked.

"I should have thought like this brother!" Huo Geng sighed, "After three months passed, there was an expert who really liked this volume of exercises and was willing to bid [-] taels, and we made a deal on the same day. "

"The expert said that there is no cash at the moment, so we have to take 500 taels to make a decision. After ten days, we will make a contract. Within ten days, this practice will not be sold to others. If we sell it, we will pay him two taels." Ten thousand taels is not enough, so this volume of exercises will be sold.

But eight days later, before the expert came to pay the bill, that Jia Huajing came to knock on the door in the middle of the night. "

"What's the matter with him?" Ye Ziqi asked.

"He came here crying in the middle of the night, saying that he had received a family newspaper. The old lady left, and he wanted to go back to his hometown for the funeral in the starry night, and take back the fire element skills that were consigned to us. But one day is the deadline for the transaction , how can we give him?
I persuaded him to wait for a day, but he refused. How could he wait if he could speak the obituary of his parents?
In the end, I had no choice but to be in a hurry, so I thought, anyway, the things have been sold, and the time for the transaction is coming, so why not exchange the money to him first.So he deducted 1000 taels of rebate and exchanged 9000 taels of silver to him.Afterwards, he took this volume of fire-type exercises and just waited for the expert to give his account. "

"The next day, did the expert come?"

"The next day?" Huo Geng slammed his fist on the table, and roared miserably: "Since then, I have never seen that expert who bought goods again!"
