Chapter 805
After a while, Quan Bo reluctantly came back with a back injury, and Gu Quan winked at Zhao Zilei when he saw this.

Zhao Zilei stepped forward and stroked Quan Bo's waist, and Quan Bodun's pain subsided a lot.

"Old man, are you feeling better?"

Uncle Quan didn't know how to address him, so he thanked him repeatedly.

Gu Quan ordered: "Old man, open the door."

Xie Li gave Uncle Quan a secret wink, Uncle Quan understood, there was no secret in it, it was such a desolate and dilapidated place in the mansion that it was not easy for distinguished guests to see.

Fumbled around, pretending that the lock was rusted and couldn't open the door.

Gu Quan looked at Zhao Zilei.

"The old man get out of the way."

As Zhao Zilei said, he drew his sword and cut off the lock, and the gate of the courtyard opened slowly with a creaking sound.

Zhao Zilei stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door, and what came into view was weeds as tall as half a person. At this moment, late autumn, the weeds have withered and yellowed.

Thank you and said: "Master Gu, I told you it's a deserted courtyard."

Gu Quan smiled: "The door is open, let's go in and have a look."

Without ordering, Zhao Zilei cut the grass to open the way, passed through the yard full of weeds, and a house came into view. The locked doors and windows were already full of old dust, obviously old and uninhabited.

Standing in front of the porch, the scene of the whole yard is already clear at a glance.

Zhao Zilei asked softly: "Master?" Does it mean to go into the house?
"Quiet, alone."

After Gu Quan said two words, he pushed open the door himself, and a puff of dust rushed towards his face. Gu Quan raised his sleeve to brush away the dust, and walked into the room first.

The sun shines into the room, it is gray, but it is a simple and unusual room, a wooden bed, a wardrobe, other than that...

Gu Quan's gaze suddenly noticed a small desk, and he blurted out, "Where does the child live?"

Could it be that he died young, so it was dusty.

Quan Bo shook his head and said, "No." But he cherished words like gold and didn't say much.

Gu Quan approached the book case. From the size of the book case, it is a children's book case, but the height is...

Looking down, as expected, the four legs of the desk were raised with bricks.

Moreover, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone under the desk are also in sight.

Gu Quan looked at Xie Li and Quan Bo in puzzlement, but they didn't intend to explain at all.

Curiosity made Gu Quan look like a detective who wanted to solve the mystery of this room himself.

Looking towards the wooden bed, this angle is just right to see the mountains of books under the bed.

Gu Quan approached and squatted down. Seeing Gu Quan condescending in such a dirty place, several guards couldn't help calling out: "Master."

At this moment, Gu Quan turned his ears off and was absorbed in it. He directly reached out to take out the book, but it was a dilapidated book.

The thread of the book had been torn, but it was stitched together again with needle and thread, and the cover was also lost. It was covered with a piece of white paper, with the title of the book "Benji" handwritten on it.

Seeing these two words, Gu Quan blurted out: "Good words!"

It takes at least ten years of hard work to write such characters, and it is definitely not something a child can write.

At this time, Gu Quan was already more curious about the owner of this house.

Take out the books one by one from under the bed, it looks like a messy pile, but they are actually classified.

None of these old books are intact, or they were burned with missing words or missing pages, or were spilled with wine, and then dried and flattened again.

Regardless of its appearance, each copy has been restored to the greatest extent.

Looking at these, there are only four words in Gu Quan's mind - love books like life.

Finally couldn't help but blurted out and asked: "Who lived in this room before?"

Quan Bo's eyes followed Gu Quan all the time, he saw what Gu Quan saw, and only now did he deeply feel how mean he was to the second young master before, and how sorry he was to the second young master.

The dignified second young master of the Xie family lives in such a place, he is not even as good as a servant.

Filled with guilt, he replied, "It's the second young master."

Gu Quan was surprised and said, "The Xie family still has a second young master?"

From Xie Guangde's point of view, Xie Fu is ignorant, and he is afraid that outsiders will know that there is such a prodigal son in his family, so he has always publicized the gift of thanks as a platoon.

Xie Li answered, "It's my cousin Xie Fu."

Gu Quan said loudly: "That is the son of the Xie family, can you let me meet?"

Hearing Gu Quan's words, Uncle Quan couldn't help remembering that Xie Fu was chasing him with a stick, his eyes turned red.

Seeing Uncle Quan's appearance, Gu Quan said softly, "Could it be..."

This should be the case, otherwise the courtyard would not be deserted and dusty, and Gu Quan would not be able to continue to ask about other people's sad stories, but he was inexplicably regretful that he did not have the chance to meet the second son of the Xie family who loves books like his life.

Xie Li wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, after all, this was a scandal in the family, and he didn't want to explain the reason and smear this cousin.

Gu Quan walked to the closet, opened it, saw a few worn clothes, and blurted out: "It is often said that the way to study lies in tranquility and indifference. Only when you are poor and poor can you concentrate your mind and body. Today is also an eye-opener."

Seeing several manuscripts in the closet, Gu Quan Fuchen read them and was immediately attracted by the opening chapter.

……

Here Xie Guangde was able to be alone with Huo Duan, and asked softly: "Master Huo, to be honest, what do you want from our Xie family?"

Xie Guangde is an elegant person, and since Huo Duan can't deal with those flirtatious things, it's better to get straight to the point and make it clear.

Huo Duan smiled and didn't answer, Xie Guangde said bluntly: "Master Huo, just tell me, what can I give you, within the scope of my acceptance, I will not be stingy."

Huo Duan paid such a large amount of debt for the Xie family, relieved the Xie family from losing their ancestral home, and proposed to build a cemetery for the ancestor Yaoqing, which was also a great kindness to the Xie family.

Since there is kindness first, satisfying other people's intentions is also considered repayment.

Huo Duan laughed and said: "Old Master, could it be that I, Huo Duan, have a notorious reputation and made the Old Master suspect that I have some evil intentions."

"Oh, Mr. Huo, don't hide it. You should take a good look. If you want money or power, this mansion is the only one you can sell, but this mansion is for you, Mr. Huo. Say, what is it?"

Huo Duan thought to himself when he heard the words, you have a grandson who is about to become Jiedushi, and the backers behind him are getting bigger and bigger, I suspect that he has the capital to rebel.

Huo Duan laughed and said: "Master, to be honest, I know Xie's family from Lingsun Lang."

If you know the family style, you can know people, and you can also know people and know the family style.

Huo Duan was taken aback when he heard the words: "Thank you?" Just now Xie Li and Huo Duan didn't have any conversations, they didn't seem to be acquainted at all.

Huo Duan was also taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and said, "No, your other grandson."

Xie Guangde was startled, and asked softly in an unbelievable tone: "You mean..."

Huo Duan nodded: "That's right! Thank you, Master Xie!"

Xie Guangde also heard these two words from other people's mouths. Every time he caused trouble or got into trouble, the first time he heard these two words from others, he was so radiant.

Xie Guangde is completely confused, it is hard to imagine how the prodigal son of his family has a relationship with a big guy like Huo Duan, why don't they get along, it's like him Xie Guangde went to make friends with a beggar, you think it's strange or not .

Huo Duan said with emotion: "Mr. Xie and I are too late to meet each other!"

Xie Guangde blurted out: "Master Huo, are you lustful?"

This prodigal son's ability to visit brothels is first-rate, and after much deliberation, this is the only way to match Huo Duan.

Huo Duan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Xie Guangde said this, he smiled awkwardly: "I am indeed a beautiful woman, but it's a pity that Mr. Xie is dignified and not a fellow."

Xie Guangde blurted out: "If he is dignified, there will be no apprentices in the world."

Huo Duan couldn't help keeping his eyes open when he heard the words, and asked instead: "Is Mr. Xie so pretty?"

Xie Guangde's face darkened: "Of course!" The prodigal son lived in the brothel.

In Huo Duan's heart, oh, Master Sun Mo Ruo, if Xie Guangde said so, then it must be true, Mr. Xie, you hide very deeply, even I Huo Duan was deceived by you, it's really cunning.

That's okay, knowing that you have this hobby, I can also follow suit in the future.

Xie Guangde saw Huo Duan kept laughing, and gently reminded: "Master Huo."

Huo Duan smiled and said: "So that's the case. I want to have a good communication with Mr. Xie in the future."

If a junior said this, Xie Guangde would definitely sweep him out, but Huo Duan said that Xie Guangde would only be embarrassed.

"Old Master, it's like this, Mr. Xie and I are business partners."

Xie Guangde was surprised that Huo Duan was not doing a small business, so he asked, "What kind of business do you cooperate with?"

"For the grain business, Mr. Xie has already obtained the license of the Jiangnan Dongdao Grain General Merchant."

Xie Guangde is not a businessman and doesn't understand the weight of this license plate at all, so Huo Duan explained it carefully.

After hearing this, Xie Guangde was surprised and said: "You mean that the grain of the entire Jiangnan East Road has to go through his hands."

Huo Duan said with a smile: "Yes! Old master, this business is big enough."

Xie Guangde calmed down after a wave of turmoil in his heart, this prodigal son was actually... quite outstanding, at least he didn't have to look at the woman's face to get by.

While Xie Guangde felt relieved, he was actually proud of Xie Fu, at least he became a respectable person, and he was not ashamed.

Xie Fu is doing well, and his unqualified grandfather is also happy and relieved!

After Huo Duan gave Xie Guangde a meal to digest, he said: "Master, Mr. Xie asked me to visit the house more. I returned to Yangzhou a few days ago. I was going to visit the house, but I have a lot of business to deal with. I heard that the old man There was an accident at home, so I hurried over here, but luckily I came in time."

Xie Guangde said gratefully: "Master Huo has a heart."

Huo Duan said modestly: "Whatever the old man said, the matter of the Xie family will be my Huo Duan's business."

While talking, there was a burst of intensive footsteps outside, followed by a loud voice: "Lord Inspector is here!"

Xie Guangde was surprised, today is really lively, even the governor of Yangzhou has arrived, the Xie family seems to have no connection with the governor of Yangzhou.

Huo Duan smiled slightly, he is really a rare visitor.
