Chapter 216 Couplet

I said I was a little curious. Even the dignified Tiandao Xu Kaishan could only be locked in Room No. 2, and the one who was imprisoned in that room must be a great hero who stood upright.

Old Sun said suddenly, this is not the case. The prisoner in Room No. 1, Tianzi, was surnamed Meng. He was once the chief constable of our Six Gates. He was once a powerful figure back then. Later, he was imprisoned here for more than ten years because of political mistakes.

I can't help but sigh that from ancient times to the present, many heroes and capable ministers in the temple have been imprisoned because of this political mistake!

After coming out of the six doors, I disguised myself as Jiang Xiaobai again, and the eunuch's clothes were also hidden. There were dragons and tigers hidden in the palace, so I didn't plan to go back. When I returned to the White Tiger Hall, Qi Xiaowei saw me back and asked, where have I been in the past few days, why can't I find you?

I asked, do we also have to go to and from get off work on time in Baihu Hall?

Qi Xiaowei smiled and said, there is no need. Why, sisters can’t care about you?

I made up a reason casually, saying that I met an enemy recently and almost couldn't come back alive.

Qi Xiaowei was a little angry when she heard this. Who is so bold that she dared to challenge our Sihetang in the capital? Should my sister take action? I quickly declined, thinking that I thought not to say it was you, Jian Wushuang, even Feng Wanli, is not her enemy in one move. However, I was very moved by her being able to say such words, at least she regarded me as her own.

I asked how the situation in the hall was recently. Qi Xiaowei said happily, the new policy on protection fees you have introduced in the past few days has gained a lot, which has made our White Tiger Hall turn a comeback. I highly recommend you in front of Master Jiu. Tomorrow, our Sihe Hall will hold a meeting, Master Jiu will reward you on merits and deeds. What will you say when you think about it?

I had something wrong with him in my mind, but I didn't care. Qi Xiaowei noticed it and asked, why are she unhappy?

I said I had money, so of course I was happy.

Qi Xiaowei didn't doubt anything else, but just advised, Xiaobai, from the first sight of you, I knew that you were a person who did big things. As a human being, the pattern should be high. Tomorrow Hall will be a major event in our Sihe Hall every year. If Jiuye wants to reward you, you can't just ask for some money.

I wondered, what do you want?

Qi Xiaowei's eyes are shining, power! Although you have been in Beijing for a short time, Jiu Ye values ​​you, and I am optimistic about you. If you want to make a name for yourself, you must make good use of all opportunities and pursue the highest power. With power, money, status, and women, nothing will be missing. She smiled and said, maybe one day, even my sister will embrace you.

I quickly defeated and said, "Sister, please spare me." To me, you are a noble woman, and I have no inappropriate thoughts. However, Qi Xiaowei said, you dislike your sister Pu Liu's figure."

I quickly shook my head and said, "Sister, you are a superior person, and I can't even admire you."

Qi Xiaowei sighed. To be honest, sometimes I don’t know what I want. When I was a child, my family was poor and I couldn’t even eat. Later, I followed Master Jiu to conquer the world. I had money, power and status, and I always felt that I was missing something.

I listened and remained silent, and she suddenly asked, do you think your sister is a lewd person?

I said, how could you have this idea?

Qi Xiaowei said, I know that others are talking about me outside, saying that I am a woman of Jiu Ye.

I said that none of these matters. What you have to do is yourself, and it doesn’t matter how others talk about you.

Qi Xiaowei said yes, someone used to laugh at me in person at the Sihetang Internal Affairs Office, but I had already killed me. I had a cold war in my heart. Qi Xiaowei smiled at me and said she had a good rest and went to the party with me tomorrow.

When I returned to my residence, I couldn't fall asleep. In fact, I haven't had much rest in the past few days. I have experienced too much life and death, which makes me feel sleepy at all. I was chewing on what Qi Xiaowei said to me, what is the purpose of my life?

When I first went down the mountain, although Ximen Chulan arranged a task for me, there was no forced request. I just wanted to be able to make a living in the world and not expect to be famous all over the world. As long as I enjoyed it, I would like to go there.

However, after coming to Liushemen, he began to run away and escort Xu Kaishan to work for Liushemen of Jinling. He was involved in the dispute between the Netherworld Sect and the Jiangnan martial arts world. In addition to going to Haining to find Xu Ruonan, he seemed to have always been busy with the life arranged by others for me.

The world I imagined is to be a hero, to be righteous, to help the poor, to walk around, to eat meat and drink wine in big mouthfuls, but the experience over the past year has been a fucking and exhausted life. To others, it seems to be very accomplished, but it is not the life I want.

Nowadays, I always feel like I am trapped in a quagmire, and the people and things I come into contact with seem to be as arranged by others. However, I feel very helpless. Only when I am with Xu Ruonan can I relax for a moment, and when I interact with her, I can feel that I am an ordinary person.

Xu Ruonan said that he would come to me in a year.

But now the Netherworld Divine Sect has launched crazy revenge against the sects in the Battle of Fengyun Island, causing bloody storms in the world. The two immortals of Xiaoyao traveled westward and killed all the way. Even Xiaosheng didn't stand it, and published a post to fight against such atrocities in the latest issue.

However, after the Battle of Fengyun Island, the Wulin Alliance fell into silence. The Xie family rose and the entire Jiangnan martial arts world was reshuffled. However, Shaolin and Wudang, the transcendent sects, ignored the rise of the Netherworld Sect. I don’t know whether it was because the six gates were severely cracked down on each other a few years ago, or whether they reached a tacit understanding between them.

I began to worry, worried that Xu Ruonan and her Netherworld Divine Sect would get deeper and deeper in the disputes between the world. After the one-year agreement expired, can she escape from the struggles between the world? Am I also gradually involved in the disputes between the world and the temple, and have a close connection with the struggles between the world and the imperial power?

Thinking of this, I made up my mind to come to the world to experience it, instead of thinking about getting out of the way, it is better to move forward bravely and get the whole thing out. Even the Ximen Blowing the Lights out, what else can I do?

The first thing to do is to promise Shen Wushuang what he promised to do, take out the daily notes that led to the destruction of the Shen family, and find the East Gate to pull out the wax.

I got up and changed into a night clothes and went out pretty. The New Year is approaching, and the curfew is not as strict as before. I crossed a few streets and came to an abandoned mansion in the east of the city. With the dim starlight, I could vaguely see two big words at the door: Shen Mansion.

Before Shen Zhengdao had an accident, he was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His family was rich enough to rival a country, but he did not expect that his mansion was so ordinary. Before Shen Zhengdao had an accident, he was a second-rank official. His mansion was five rooms and nine houses, and his gates could be accessed and eight large sedan chairs. However, this old mansion looked no different from the homes of ordinary people.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu established a strict hierarchy system, with officials of several ranks of people building a wide range of doors. People of different identities wore clothes of different materials, otherwise they would be illegal and transgressive. However, nowadays, the implementation has long been no longer strict. Business families like Zhang Youqian have built magnificent doors.

The true essence in the starry sky spreads out like spider silk.

I couldn't help but sweat a lot in this test. Just inside the Shen Mansion, I sensed three or four martial arts masters lurking among them. I don't know if they were from the world or sent from the palace, and the martial arts of these three or four people were above the Zhixuan Realm. If it weren't for the Jingshen Formation, my true energy in my body was strengthened, I was afraid that I would rashly go in, and the consequences would be very likely to be trapped in the siege.

After thinking about it, I retreated.

The next morning, when he arrived at Baihu Hall, Danmu's face was blue and swollen. He was telling someone to post Spring Festival couplets. After the new policy on protection fees, his status in Baihu Hall increased and he had enough confidence in speaking. However, the words of the Spring Festival couplet were so unsightly that they were written, and the left and right couplets were also posted.

The first couplet is: The human palace has lost its kindness; the second couplet: The immortal class in the heavenly palace is full of kindness. Horizontal book: immortality

I couldn't help but curse, where did you get the couplet?

Shan Mu said yesterday that a scholar set up a stall to sell couplets at Zhushikou. I thought about the New Year promotion. I gave him a 20% discount on the protection fee, so he gave me a few couplets. How about it, are we becoming more and more popular with the people? As the saying goes, those who win the people win the world.

I said okay, don't show off your literary talent.

Shan Mu asked, why, is there any problem with the couplet?

I said you want to stick to your home, and your parents will beat you up so much that they don’t even recognize you in the mirror.

Shan Mu pointed to his fat face and said, "Do you know this?"

I thought to myself, so I asked him to find red paper and pen, and with a big stroke, I wrote several Spring Festival couplets in cursive script written by Sun Guoting. You should know that I was in the Thieves Sect, and I personally booked the Spring Festival couplets for the New Year, and I also won the seventh place in the Second Spring Festival Couplet Competition of the Thieves Sect.

According to the rules of Sihe Hall, today the masters of the four and eight halls, deputy masters and assistants of the four halls must attend the meeting. After the meeting of the main hall, each branch will come back to hold his own meeting. The single wood is just a book and is not qualified to attend the meeting of the main hall.

The hall is the most important meeting of the Sihe Hall in the year. The various branches gathered together to listen to the lectures of the chief executive, comment on the work achievements over the past year, and set the work goals for the following year. Of course, at the end of the hall, the chief executive will reward the merits and distribute the bonuses of each hall.

Qi Xiaowei has not arrived yet, and the deputy hall master Li Laohu has arrived at some point. When he saw the couplet I wrote, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Jiang's handwriting was so good. Even if you don't live in Sihetang, I believe you can make a world of things at Zhushikou street stalls."

According to Shan Mu, Li Laohu is the veteran of Sihetang. He is the oldest in Baihutang and is quite capable. He almost became the master of the hall several times, but Mr. Zhao Jiu didn't like him very much. He was fifty years old and retired a few years later, but he was still unable to enter the core of Sihetang. Li Laohu had a lot of opinions about Qi Xiaowei, and of course he didn't like me either.

I said Deputy Master Li had a too-win award, and I dare not say anything else. If you have fun in your family, you should speak as soon as possible. I will write it for you overnight. Not only that, I also bought a full set and wrote all your family's couplets in advance.
Chapter completed!
