Chapter 96 Strange Man from Yicheng
Liang Yan watched Yun Xuzi leave, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but after a moment he just sighed slightly.
He has been following Yun Xuzi for almost twenty days. During these twenty days, he has tried all kinds of methods and methods, but he has never been able to force the poison out of his body, so he can only secretly I lamented that the method of building the foundation was extraordinary.
Yun Xuzi was so confident about him that he even let him walk around the city alone. He was obviously sure that he could not detoxify, so he must not dare to escape.
However, Liang Yan is optimistic. Since he can't do anything about the current situation, he simply lets it go. Anyway, Yun Xuzi still has something to use him for, so it won't be detrimental to him if he doesn't do it for a while.
Seeing that Yun Xuzi had disappeared, Liang Yan moved his steps, climbed down from the city wall, and landed lightly in Mingyi City.
Night falls at this time. Although it is cold in the depths of winter, Mingyi City is decorated with lights and colorful lights everywhere. Various lanterns are hung on both sides of the street. There is an endless flow of people and it is very lively.
"Could it be that tonight is a lantern festival here?"
Liang Yan is a young man after all. When he saw the streets brightly lit and bustling, he couldn't help but get interested and walked alone in this bustling street. Among the crowd.
“Guess the lantern riddles, guess the lantern riddles, you’ll have to guess for ten pieces, it’s polite to guess correctly!”
Liang Yan stopped at a stall and saw a short, chubby boss looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Brother, I see that you are plump and plump in heaven, and you have an elegant and easy-going temperament. You look like someone who has read poetry and books. Why don't you guess a lantern riddle? It only costs ten pieces of paper once, and the prizes are huge! "
Liang Yan glanced at the prize area and saw that they were all calligraphy, paintings and copybooks, as well as the Four Treasures of the Study, most of which were of high quality. However, he didn’t originally have any intention of doing this. He just came here to have fun, so he smiled slightly and said:
“Then let’s take a guess.”
He took out ten copper coins from his sleeve and threw them away. To the stall owner, he reached out and took down a lantern hanging on the string at random, and saw the words on the lantern: Don't be impulsive.
"Not impulsive?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly, and the short and fat boss said with a kind smile: "Just because you are not impulsive, guess the name of an emperor from the previous dynasty."
"This"
Liang Yan secretly smiled bitterly. He was not from the State of Zhao. He was just brought to the State of Zhao from the State of Yue by the old monk. How could he know who the emperors of the previous dynasties of the State of Zhao were.
The short and fat stall owner took out an hourglass with a smile on his face and said: "If the sand leaks out, this guessing game will be considered a failure."
"Okay, I can't guess. I'll give you another ten coins. Just tell me the correct answer!" Liang Yan waved his hand and said directly.
The smile on the boss's face became even brighter, and his small eyes were squeezed into slits. He nodded hurriedly and said: "Of course, of course!"
Just as he closed his eyes, Just as Liang Yan was about to give his answer to the copper coins, there was suddenly a burst of noise from the other end of the street, and the surrounding crowd surged and rushed towards that direction.
Liang Yan turned his head to look, a faint blue light filling his eyes. After a moment, a strange look appeared on his face, and he followed the flow of people around him and walked towards the source of the sound.
“It’s so strange in this world that someone was dragged out and paraded through the streets at night!” someone in the surrounding crowd commented.
"Yeah, I don't know who was the unlucky one, or what kind of immoral thing he did." Someone else echoed next to him.
Liang Yan followed their gazes and looked forward, and saw a team of more than ten people. Two of them were dragging a trailer. There was a wooden cage on the trailer, and a handsome scholar was sitting in it.
This book has beautiful features, is dressed in white Confucian clothes, and has a brocade robe and jade belt around his waist. He looks like a romantic and talented man. But there is an abacus hanging on his waist, which is incompatible with his elegant and suave image.
His hands were tied behind his back at the moment, and his whole body was covered with melon rinds and fruit husks. It was obvious that he had been beaten, scolded and tortured a lot along the way. But he seemed to not care at all, and even stared at the people around him and laughed. I don’t know if the onlookers are watching his joke, or if he is laughing at the onlookers?
“Dear fellow villagers, this man is so debauched and debauched that he actually seduced my young lady at night. You must know that my young lady is innocent and pure, and she is already engaged to the prince of the Wang family. This man is so shameless. According to the rules of our ancestors, , you have to go out and dip into the pig cage!”
"Bah! Shameless!"
"This kind of person deserves to die!"
Many people in the crowd echoed, and some even threw eggs, banana peels and the like at him , but most people still have an attitude of watching the fun and pointing fingers at it from time to time.
"Haha, Miss Lin family was born with a beautiful country, talented people and talents, but such an outstanding daughter wants to marry the idiot son of the Wang family. What else is it if it is not a waste of natural resources?" The scholar in the cage did not care about the people around him. He didn't care, but said with a smile on his face.
“What did you say?”
A fat man in the team shouted angrily. Everyone turned around and saw that this man had a chubby figure, a lot of fat on his face, and a bit of slack at the corner of his mouth, giving him a look of dementia.
Everyone knew without asking that this man must be the "bastard son" in the scholar's mouth, and they burst into laughter for a moment.
"Why are you laughing! What are you laughing at!"
The Wang family's servant stepped forward and shouted: "The marriage of Lin and Wang's family was arranged long ago by the previous generation. Our Wang family has a great cause. , will it still humiliate the Lin family?" At this time, the scholar in the cage sighed and said seriously:
"Have you, the previous generation, ever considered Miss Lin Yan's own thoughts about the marriage? She is not a talented scholar, but she is determined to save thousands of lost girls like Miss Lin Yan and bring them out of the sea of misery. This is not a good thing. scholar vertical Even if your body is shattered, you should never forget your original intention and walk firmly on this road."
Liang Yan smiled in the crowd. He was obviously trying to win over someone else's daughter, but he spoke as if he was good at it. Great merit.
"However, although this person may seem absurd and unruly, he is actually a real cultivator, and he is at the seventh level of Qi training!"
Liang Yan has a gangster skill. With his body, he can naturally see through other people's cultivation levels easily, but due to the Tianji Pearl, ordinary monks of the same level cannot see through his realm.
"You shameless person, you are still talking nonsense here." Everyone in the Wang family looked angry, and some rolled up their sleeves as if they were going to beat him.
"Why should the in-laws be angry!" said a member of the Lin family on the side: "This man is full of fallacies, so what's the point of arguing with him? I'll put him in a pig cage later and see how he can confuse the public with his evil words!"
"It's over, it's over! Dipping in a pig cage can kill people!"
The scholar in the cage first appeared He looked frightened and said with a fierce look on his face: "Since I can't protect myself, I don't care about the rules of the world. Mr. Wang, if you are in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame me for being in the fifteenth grade! I will do the good things you asked me to do. Shake it out!"
"What good thing did I ask you to do? Don't talk nonsense here!" the fat man surnamed Wang said angrily.
"Hmph, weren't you the one who asked me to seduce Miss Lin Yan? You said that the Lin family is now in a state of decline, and that finger-tip marriage was a foolish thing of the previous generation. The current Lin family is not worthy at all. Go to your Wang family and ask me to ruin Miss Lin Yan’s reputation so that you can legitimately break off the engagement!”
"Nonsense! When did I tell you such a thing?" Fatty Wang's face turned red.
"Hmph, you are talking nonsense here when you are about to die. Do you think I will believe it?" A tall middle-aged man in the Lin family also frowned.
"Don't believe it!" The scholar said anxiously: "Come here, I will only tell you this!"
The middle-aged man from the Lin family was doubtful and came to the scholar. , the scholar leaned forward and whispered something in his ear.
Although the voice was soft, how could it be hidden from Liang Yan's ears and eyes.
Liang Yan was secretly running his gangster skills and heard the scholar say:
"Fat Wang secretly said that you are old and disrespectful, do not know how to work hard and make progress, and only want to get rich with your daughter. In order not to be dragged down by your Lin family, I specially asked I'll do the show, he Even the divorce letter has been written. If you don't believe it, look at this."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it into the hands of the young man in the Lin family, and said: " You also know that I am a gentleman in Liang Shang, and I stayed here specially for self-protection. "
The young man in the Lin family opened the paper and took a closer look, his face immediately changed color and said: "It is indeed that bastard's note!"
He turned and yelled at Fatty Wang. Said: "My surname is Wang, you are bullying others. Too bad! Back then, your grandfather was just a fish seller. If it weren’t for my father’s help, would your family be as prosperous as it is today? I didn’t expect you to be ungrateful and instead think of ways to humiliate us. What a bunch of white-eyed wolves!”
Fatty Wang was confused by the scolding, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Lin, what are you talking about? I don't even look at your family's current virtues. We, the Wang family, don't care about your poor settlement, but instead you are kicking your nose in the face?"
“Fuck you, you white-eyed wolf!”
“Ouch!”
I don’t know which one made the first move, and the two families instantly got into a fight, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
In fact, the Lin and Wang families have long had a quarrel. Their grandparents used to have a close friendship, but they both died young.
In the following decades, the Wang family prospered while the Lin family declined. Unknowingly, there was a gap between them, but they never openly broke up.
At this time, the scholar secretly provoked, which was like a spark igniting a dry firewood. The two families vented their grievances accumulated for many years, punching and kicking each other, and many servants fighting together.
In the chaos, the two servants fought near the prison car and happened to pass by the scholar.
The scholar was looking at the sky at the moment, whistling in his mouth, but suddenly stretched out a leg from the wooden cage, tripped the man who was fighting to the ground, then raised his toes, and knocked the man to the ground. A bunch of keys flew away from his waist.
The key drew an arc in mid-air and landed right in the wooden prison. The scholar reached out to take the key, leisurely took off the handcuffs in his hands, opened the wooden prison, and got out with a short body.
At this time, everyone in the two families was blushing and neck-deep from the beating, and the onlookers were also excited. Those who tried to stop the fight were applauding, but no one paid any attention to the person who was supposed to be a "prisoner."
The scholar patted his clothes and removed the peel and eggshells on them, looking elegant and suave again. Then he put his hands behind his back, swayed slightly, and disappeared into the crowd.
“What a good man to drive away wolves and tigers!”
Liang Yan’s onlookers knew clearly that although this man was a monk, he did not use any force. He actually solved the trouble for him with just a few words. . As for the divorce note, it was certainly a forgery by the scholar.
