Chapter 471: Temptation in Leping Tower

 The next day, early in the morning, Lu Zheng was awakened by the crow of chickens outside the door.

"what's the situation?"

"Sir, there is a man outside the door, carrying two old hens. He said they were sent here on the order of Old Man Wai, the king of the north of the city."

Lu Zheng put on his middle coat and went out, and saw Uncle Li coming to the backyard to report.

"Old Wang is very polite, I will start delivering them today." Lu Zheng whispered, then nodded and said, "I understand, accept it."

Of course, Uncle Li didn't know anything. He listened to Lu Zheng's instructions, agreed, and then prepared to go out.

"By the way, from time to time, people may send some chickens, just accept them." Lu Zheng reminded.

"Yes, I got it!" Uncle Li turned around and responded. He probably had some idea in his mind, so he went out to pick up the old hen, and then rewarded the man with a few pennies.

"Keep one at home and send the other to the Liu family." Lu Zheng said, then went out and drove Lepinglou.

really……

"Mr. Lu, please morning!" Mr. Wang also came to Leping Building.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wang!" Lu Zheng said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Wang. There will be no shortage of chicken at home in the future."

"We have a chicken farm at home, and there are so many chickens that we can't finish them all. It's Wang's honor that the young master is interested!" Mr. Wang said with a smile.

Several regular customers nearby were a little confused. Mr. Lu and Mr. Wang used to sit quite far away from each other. Why did they suddenly become so familiar with each other?

However, judging from the attitude of the two people just talking, it seemed that Mr. Wang had received a favor from someone else. However, if he didn't tell others, it would be hard for him and others to make random inquiries, so they came up to say hello, and then sat down separately.

Mr. Wang, a familiar person, sat beside Lu Zheng and asked the waiter for fragrant tea and snacks.

Lu Zheng glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appearing in Leping Building yesterday.

Lu Zheng saw him, and he also saw Lu Zheng. He nodded and was led to a seat behind Lu Zheng by the waiter.

Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, he turned sideways, smiled and asked, "I've seen this gentleman before. I'm Lu Zheng. What do you call him?"

The middle-aged man waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't dare. How can I be called a gentleman? My surname is Fan, Fan Boyu."

Lu Zheng smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Fan is in a hurry. Did you just move to Tonglin County? Or did you accompany your family to the county to take the exam?"

"No, I'm running some traveling business. I'm not suffering from rheumatism, so I'm going to stay in Tonglin County for half a month to recuperate." Fan Boyu said with a smile, and then added, "Master Lu is very familiar with several doctors from Renxintang.

?”

Lu Zheng nodded, "We are all neighbors."

Fan Boyu nodded and smiled, "Neighbors should help each other."

Mr. Wang looked over here, his eyes flashed, and he answered with a smile, "I don't know what kind of business Mr. Fan is doing. Why don't you tell me about it? I am also a businessman. Let's see if we can cooperate?"

Fan Boyu was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately said, "I just run some mountain product business. I do a lot of miscellaneous things, such as medicinal materials, furs, game, etc., but the quantity is not large, and I sell them here and there.

"

"Oh?" Lu Zheng said with a smile, "This business has to rely on mountains. Mr. Fan should be from near the Lingshan Mountains, right? Is he from Rongzhou or Lingnan Taoist family?"

"Rongzhou Linling County." Fan Boyu said with a smile.

"Oh? What a coincidence. I have been to Linling County several times. The delicacies and game served in Shanlou in the county are outstanding." Lu Zheng said with a smile.

Fan Boyu nodded, "The most famous one is a braised meat dish, which is mixed with more than a dozen kinds of game delicacies such as pig, deer, tiger, and dog. It is Kanshanlou's signature dish."

Mr. Wang answered, "I went there once ten years ago, but I don't know that the most famous street in Linling County now is the Luoxia Tower in Nanjiefang City?"

Fan Boyu shook his head, "No, the largest brothel now is called Fengqi Pavilion."

After a pause, Fan Boyu said with a smile, "The old man may have remembered wrongly. Luoxia Tower is not in Nanjiefang City, but in North Street."

Mr. Wang patted his forehead and said, "I'm really old, my memory is bad."

After the words fell, the storyteller invited by Lepinglou entered from behind the curtain.

A row of gavel trees, a sip of fragrant tea.

"The book picks up from yesterday, but it says that the romantic and talented Wang Sheng said goodbye to the talented Qin Hongyu and went to Beijing to take the exam. That day, he was walking on the official road and happened to come to a mountain temple..."

The storyteller was speaking on the stage, and everyone was listening in the audience. They drank tea and had snacks from time to time, which was very comfortable.

"Wu that storyteller, you just said that the female ghost ate all the passers-by and was so cruel, but why did you feel pity for a hare on the roadside? Isn't this nonsense?" asked a man in the audience.

Broken road.

"Otherwise." The storyteller shook his head, "The female ghost is cruel to people because she was killed by others, and she pities the hare naturally because she is not bad in nature."

"Then since she is cruel to people, why didn't she kill Wang Haoran?"

"Of course it's because Wang Sheng also felt pity for the hare, which made her love the house as much as the rabbit." The storyteller explained again, and then continued.

Fan Boyu nodded, "It's rare. This story is good. It's rare to have a character who is both good and evil, neither good nor bad."

In ordinary stories, most of the characters appear in facial makeup, which is easy to understand and easily replaced. This story rarely portrays a female ghost who is cruel and yet soft-hearted in some aspects, which is eye-catching.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth, "This "The Story of Two Sisters" is so famous. Why, Mr. Fan has never heard of it before?"

Fan Boyu's expression paused, then his expression remained unchanged, he just smiled and said, "I used to be so busy running business that I really didn't have time to listen to books. Now that I have rheumatism, I can't run anymore, so I have time to wander around and listen to books."

.”

"From what Doctor Du said, the rheumatism in Mr. Fan's legs is actually still in its early stages. Not to mention affecting walking, running and jumping, even the symptoms are not obvious on rainy days." Lu Zheng asked, "It seems that Mr. Fan's family is quite wealthy.

, you just had some symptoms and you stopped completely?”

Fan Boyu took a breath and said, "The main reason is that I am tired from running around for so many years and have accumulated some wealth, so I am not in a hurry."

"I see……"

Lu Zheng nodded and looked at Fan Boyu, who also looked back at Lu Zheng.

The storyteller was in full swing on the stage, but the two of them were speechless for a moment. The aura around them was a bit solidified. Mr. Wang swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but lean away a little.

"You..." Fan Boyu narrowed his eyes and felt deeply angry.

"It turns out that our family is really well-off. You can't have any thoughts about Dr. Du, right?"

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "I am twenty-eight years old, beautiful as a flower, and my family is not short of money, so I will not leave my hometown and go to Rongzhou for yellow and white things."

Fan Boyu:???
