Chapter 29 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 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 this time

It's the truth.

Since the enemy has such a powerful background, of course he must silence him. Gu Feng made up for it with a sword and sent Zhao Si back to the west.

Then, the two of them got out of the house, went to a deserted place, took care of their whereabouts, and secretly planned: "Let's rest for the night. Tomorrow, we will split up to find out the news about the Tang family."

After the plan was decided, the two returned to Fengqi Inn to rest.

By the next day, it was about to rain, and it was gloomy for half the day, with lightning dancing in the distant clouds.

In a small wine shop on Yanxing Street, the drunken guests were still loudly showing off their knowledge and shouting that winter thunderstorms are unique to Leizhou. When Dayu entered Leizhou, he encountered winter thunder and named the state. According to reports

According to legend, the wizard who was accompanying him at that time said that winter thunder was a sign of dragon movement.

Gu Feng sat alone on a small table outside the wine shop, holding two glasses of wine.

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

"Did you find out clearly?"

Ye Ziqi nodded, sat opposite Gu Feng, drank the wine glass in one gulp and said:

"The Tang family is indeed a large family, and our ancestors served as prime ministers in our Ju Kingdom. Now these two generations have declined. Only Tang Sizhou, the old man of the Tang family, still works in the Shaofu Weaving and Dyeing Department. By Tang Zhao's generation, he simply gave up his official position and went into business.

Although his power is no longer there, he is still in charge of a country's finances. It is said that the furnishings in the palace are luxurious and the expenses are still the same as before."

Gu Feng said indifferently: "Of course such a wealthy family will not feel the same way as we do. If you go and tell people 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 man cost them a piece of silk cloth in vain, and even his life is not enough to compensate."

Ye Ziqinai said: "My mother taught me since I was a child that I should do my duty to others. After I have done what I should do, it is his business to do what he does."

"You almost lost your life, but you still think so?"

"Some ideas are different."

"Do you understand? It doesn't matter what you do, you have to listen to your parents."

"I understand - not everyone has a mother-in-law."

"Cough, cough..." Gu Feng was rarely choked.

People who read a lot are different when it comes to swearing. Gu Feng thought to himself.

The light rain fell, the patter was as thin as needle pricks.

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

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

"It's nothing, I just thought that when I was exploring the Tang Mansion, several sedans left the mansion and went to the Xiangye Tower. It is said that there are little demon insects in the Xiaojin Cave, so they are warm in the winter."

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

"That's right. Do you think those people who froze to death were unjust? Until they die, they can only watch those dignitaries enjoying themselves behind the lamp windows, but they don't know that it is those people who created the world of "inadequate losses and economic benefits".

There are enough human principles, and I should hate them."

"Um."

"This is also a lie. So what if you hate them? Do you dare to fight for revenge against them if you hate them?" Ye Ziqi shook his wine glass: "But you have been a coward all your life, so why don't you dare?"

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

"right."

Lightning flashed like snakes through the windows of houses, and thunder suddenly crackled in my ears, indicating that a storm was coming.

"Yi Zi, you are always looking for death."

"I want to die."

"Why?"

"Because I have sorry for too many people." Ye Ziqi sipped his wine glass: "I hate horse thieves and want to take revenge on them every day. But I also know that what I hate the most is actually myself.

Do you remember? What did I do to my parents and Ye Lingsha before the horse thief entered the mountain? I recall what happened on that day every day, but it is really painful to live like this.

I should have entered the demon realm long ago, my incompetence made them all die, and my stupidity made them uneasy before they died!"

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

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

But since I myself feel that my life is worthless, why should I drown in the sea of ​​mediocre people all over the city who are struggling to survive? I would rather change to something happy."

"Yeah." Gu Feng just agreed.

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

"I will die with you? You are thinking too much." Gu Feng poured himself a glass, "Zi Zi, I only tell you one thing."

"What?"

"I was taught by my mother too."

"ah?"

"My mother also taught me that I must do my duty to others. If you have a grudge against others, you must retaliate. This is also your duty to others!"

"boom!"

Thunder rumbled.

Wine glasses clash.

"Walk!"

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng stood up.

"Wait a minute, you two!"

A shout stopped them.

By this time, the rain was getting heavier, and the drinkers were already busy going home. The person who stopped them at this moment was a waiter.

"The wine is paid for," Gu Feng said.

"It's not about the drink money." The waiter said, "Are you two going to the Tang Mansion to cause trouble?"

When Ye and Gu heard this, their expressions changed greatly. They said to themselves that their voices were not loud, and the sound of rain was mixed with other people's noises. How could they be heard? Is this okay? They immediately wanted to leave.

But the waiter 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 man had some skills and was only taller than them, and his appearance became even more ugly for a moment.

"Don't panic, you two! I'm not your enemy!" The waiter said anxiously: "Although I don't know what the two of you have with the Tang Mansion, but if you go to the Tang Mansion to cause trouble, please be sure to take me with you. I'll wait for this day.

Been waiting for a year!"

"Huo Er, what are you doing? The guest officer has already paid me, and you still dare to stop me?" the wine shop owner shouted angrily.

The three of them looked at each other in shock.

"Boss, the two of us and this Mr. Huo Er are old acquaintances, and we just recognized each other. You let us have a few drinks, and we'll pay for them," Ye Zi said.

"No problem. Your table is the only one left. Let Huo Er take care of you two."

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

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

"I don't dare to sit down." The waiter clasped his fists and said, "Two young heroes, to be honest, my name is Huo Geng, and I was originally the shopkeeper of Yimanying Pawn Shop."

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

"I'm sorry. Brother Huo, please sit down first. I heard that a pawn shop opened in Hanye City, and they can't even get ten thousand taels of silver. Why now-"

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

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

"I am the legitimate son of the Huo family, and my family was originally from a wealthy family on Jinyun Street. When I was twenty-five years old, my father asked me to take over the family pawn shop due to physical inconvenience. I have been running the business for two years, and I have always put my righteousness first.

I can say that business is booming, at least the store’s reputation is getting better and better.”

"But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and there are villains in the world. One day, a bastard named Jia Huajing came to my shop and wanted to sell a volume of fire-based exercises passed down from his family. That's when my family's troubles started!"

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

Huo Geng had an angry look on his face and said: "At that time, we appraised this roll of skills. It was a sixth-grade earth roll. It was worth only three thousand taels of silver at most, but he insisted on selling it for 20,000 taels. If he sold it,

Just give us a half-percent rebate."

"We thought that we were just here to sell goods on consignment, and we didn't have to pay anything, so we agreed. We had been like this for more than three months. Although people occasionally asked about it, when we found out the price, they were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and refused to bargain.

of."

"If this Jia Huajing is not an amateur or a fool, then there is some fraud involved?" Gu Feng asked.

"I should have thought like this brother!" Huo Geng exclaimed: "After three months, an expert really fell in love with this book of exercises and was willing to offer 20,000 taels. We settled the deal that day.
