This late Ming Dynasty is outrageous

Chapter 257 14: Want to be pretty and filial

The Mandala Villa was originally owned by the Wang family. The Wang family was a well-known family in the Song Dynasty, and there were not a few high-ranking officials.In ancient times, people lived and lived with clan power, and big families married each other.

This mandala villa occupies Taihu Lake, the owner of the villa and Mrs. Murong Fu are blood relatives, both belong to the Wang family.

In the Song Dynasty, the culture was noble and the military was light, and the big family with a long history must be the heir to the poems and books. They didn't even look down on the generals, let alone the mere Murong family, a rivers and lakes family.

What's even more outrageous is that the young master of the Wang family in Mandala Villa actually married Li Qingluo as his legal wife, and Li Qingluo and Duan Zhengchun not only hooked up, but also gave birth to a daughter and occupied the Wang family's property.

Moreover, Mrs. Wang can marry the head of the Murong family and become the mistress.

Either the Gusu Wang family is not strong enough, or the Murong family is colluding with the Wang family.But looking at Li Qingluo occupying the Wang family's property, but the Wang family is helpless, the Gusu Wang family is probably not very powerful, but it is really amazing that this unscrupulous strength can occupy a small island in Taihu Lake and build a villa. Wonderful.

The Murong family is very ambitious and wants to marry someone.It is outrageous enough not to choose the big faction of the rivers and lakes, not to choose the martial arts family, but to choose the Wang family who is not very powerful.

The original book said that the Murong family has been developing power for generations and wants to restore the glory of their ancestors.However, judging from the whole book, the Murong family really didn't have any cards other than the four great ministers.The argument that these generations have developed power is simply untenable.

Even if Murong's family is brain-dead, they went the wrong way.But you should also understand that you need money and food, and you need your subordinates.But Murong's family has nothing, only a name that repays him with his own way.Throughout the whole book, Murong Fu actively participates in major events in the world. When encountering any incidents, he always thinks of being kind to others, but is often destroyed by others. This road direction is not wrong.

However, their several generations of management have left no industry or subordinates to rely on. This is simply the author saying that a certain supporting role is awesome, but he was hanged and beaten as soon as he touched a pig's foot, and found that the supporting role was useless.

Cao Kun walked on the pier of Mandala Villa with his hands behind his back, but he was thinking about everything about Murong's family in his mind.He doesn't see the mere Mandala Villa in his eyes. In the whole Tianlong world, the only ones that Cao Kun can take a look at are the sweeping monk and the invisible Xiaoyaozi.

Now it seems that this Murong family is really useless.

Now Murong Fu is probably dead, even if he is not dead, there is no threat.There is only one old woman left in Murong's family and Murong Bo who is dying.

Murong Bo seems to be powerful, but he is also on par with Xiao Yuanshan.Cao Kun ran away like a mouse who could beat Xiao Yuanshan, let alone Murong Bo.

"Son..."

Cao Kun walked into Mandala Villa, and was immediately recognized by the maid who stayed behind.A group of maidservants exclaimed, and several old women ran out behind them, and everyone knelt down in front of Cao Kun as if they had seen the backbone.

Cao Kun said with a smile: "The madam has been rescued, and the young lady is fine. Hao Lian Tieshu of Xixia has been killed, which is regarded as revenge for the villa. Has anyone been injured in the villa?"

Granny Rui quickly shook her head: "Master, the Western Xia army was oppressing that day. We wanted to fight each other, but we were stopped by Madam, so we didn't fight. Although Madam and Miss were taken away, the leading general was quite afraid. Everyone in the villa is not injured, I'm just worried about Madam and Miss. It's fine now, it's fine."

Cao Kun walked in the villa, looking around with a smile: "Is there someone making trouble in the villa?"

Granny Rui shook her head: "There are servants to take care of you, and everyone follows the rules. Those little hoofs who wanted to escape were all killed by the servants, and I ask you to forgive me."

Cao Kun frowned slightly. In the past, there were many old women in Mandala Villa, and they were all Mrs. Wang's thugs.But after Cao Kun came, there were more beautiful maids in this villa.

The runaway hooves Granny Rui was talking about were probably a few young and beautiful maids.

However, Cao Kun just smiled lightly and said, "If you are unfaithful as a slave, you will be killed if you kill him. You go down and prepare food. I will go to Zangshu Pavilion to have a look, and I will order you after dinner."

Li Qingluo moved all the collections of the Xiaoyao Sect to Mandala Villa, and these collections contain the martial arts secret books of most sects in the world.Although they are all inexperienced cheats, they are compared with peerless magic skills.Cao Kun has read all these cheats in previous years and practiced them all.Now I just pack it up and take it away, and when I go back to Daming, I will build my own library.

Turn on the mechanism, enter the cave, and look at the neatly arranged bookshelves. With a wave of Cao Kun's hand, all of them are put into the space ring.

The so-called Langhuan Jade Cave is just an ordinary cave.The reason why it is famous is because there are a lot of martial arts cheats hidden in it.

In the original book, in order to please Murong Fu, Wang Yuyan kept reciting the secret scriptures in the Langhuan Jade Cave, and then passed them on to Murong Fu, instructing him to practice.However, the Huan Shi Shui Pavilion of the Murong family also possesses martial arts from all over the world, is assisted by Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, and also practiced various moves, so the name of the Murong family's Huan Shi Bi Shen from the other's way came from this.

To put it bluntly, the secret is so simple.

It's just that Shi Shui Pavilion clearly contains the world's secret books, which are comparable to those in Langhuan Jade Cave, so why does it need Wang Yuyan to come and recite them, and finally pass them on to Murong Fu?

There is only one possibility, the Murong family's martial arts collection is not as good as the Xiaoyao faction's martial arts collection, and even the origin of the martial arts secret books in Shishui Pavilion is very problematic.

And the reason why the Wang family married Li Qingluo, even ignoring Li Qingluo's flirting relationship with Duan Zhengchun, was probably because of the secret.

But it is obvious that Murong's family has a problem with their heads, or the author wants them to have a problem.

Murong Bo has participated in good fortune and is one of the best masters in the Jianghu.There are countless ways to restore the country, but they choose to hide in the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple to practice some 72 unique skills.

This is obviously going astray, and the original book says that the Murong family has accumulated for generations, just to restore the country, but it is in conflict with Murong Bo's actions.It can be seen that the tragedy of the Murong family was doomed from the very beginning.

Because their setting is a group of families with brains.

After Cao Kun collected the cheat books of Langhuan Jade Cave, he immediately closed the door of the secret room.Among the secret books, the Little Formless Kung Fu is the most exquisite, but the Little Formless Kung Fu has already been taken out and given to Wang Yuyan and Li Qingluo.The rest are nothing more than the magical secrets of the various sects in the world.With Cao Kun's current accumulation, these martial arts have long been useless to him.

However, courting death, internal strength, meridians, etc. can inspire Cao Kun.

After walking out of the cave, Granny Rui and the others were ready to eat.AZi looked at Erlang's legs, eating with Lan Jian.Although the Vulture Palace is full of women, but because of the geographical location and the environment, the Vulture Palace doesn't have much food.This mandala villa is located in Gusu. Since the Sui Dynasty, the style of writing in the south has flourished. What do literati like to do most?Naturally, it is eating, drinking and having fun.

Therefore, there are many delicious and fun things in the south.If not, there would not be a poem of "the warm wind makes tourists drunk, making Hangzhou Bianzhou" have been passed down through the ages.

"My lord, do you want to drink?"

Granny Rui stood beside her with a smile and asked, Cao Kun waved her hand, and sat between Ah Zi and Lan Jian: "No, I have something to tell you."

Granny Rui bent slightly: "My lord, please tell me."

Cao Kun said with a smile: "Madam and Miss have already gone to live in the Vulture Palace, and they will not be able to come back for a short time. You have to make up your own mind whether to stay in the villa or go to wait on it. But no matter which one is, I will You are allowed."

Seeing Granny Rui's flattered look, Cao Kun shook his head: "I have been taken care of by you since I was a child. Although you are cruel and ruthless, you are elders to me. If you have any ideas, I will try my best to satisfy them."

Granny Rui was moved and happy when she heard the words. She turned her head and looked at the old women, then she smiled and said, "My lord, if you have this heart, my mother-in-law is already satisfied. It's just that this villa cannot be separated from people. If there is no one to take care of it, the flowers and plants will become wild. When Madam returns, how can we live? We old women are also getting old, and it is quite inconvenient to travel across mountains and rivers. Besides, the young master is taking care of them, so we may not necessarily need us to serve them diligently."

"You want to stay?" Cao Kun looked at Granny Rui in surprise.

Granny Rui nodded with a smile: "We want to help young master and young lady guard the property. This place is next to Yanziwu. The Murong family is not easy to get along with. They have been thinking about our family's money and land in the past. If we all leave, I'm afraid it will be snatched by the people in Yanziwu."

Cao Kun couldn't help laughing: "What you said is also reasonable, but Murong Fu may be dead, so you don't have to worry. I will go to Yanziwu to invite the old lady to live in Vulture Palace. Before Brother Murong died, I promised him to take good care of the old lady."

Granny Rui and the others changed their expressions, but looking at Cao Kun's expression, it didn't look like they were lying.They suddenly lost their voices: "My lord, are you serious?"

Cao Kun nodded.

Granny Rui took a deep breath: "That servant can't go anymore. The Murong family has no heirs, but there are also side branches. The servant stays here and holds Taihu Lake in his hands. When you and the young lady get married and have children, it will be counted. A family business is not."

Cao Kun laughed out loud, not expecting that Granny Rui was so loyal, she only wanted to be loyal to Li Qingluo, and even more wanted to expand the family property.He took out a cheat book from his pocket and threw it over.

Granny Rui hurriedly continued: "My lord, what is this?"

Cao Kun said with a smile: "If you want to occupy Taihu Lake, you can't if you don't have the strength. This is a small non-phase skill. Choose someone close to you to teach it. The practitioner can prolong your life and you will live a few more years."

Grandma Rui was pleasantly surprised, several old ladies immediately kowtowed to thank: "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Although they are servants, they are also people in the Jianghu. From the fact that Li Qingluo sent them to chase and kill Qin Hongmian many times, it can be seen that these old women are also decisive in killing.

But thinking of Qin Hongmian, Cao Kun suddenly smiled and said: "If someone comes to make trouble, if you can beat him, take him down and send him to the Vulture Palace. If no one comes to make trouble, you can rest assured."

"Yes."

Cao Kun waved his hand, and several old women led a group of maids to retreat.

After dinner, Cao Kun took Ah Zi and Lan Jian and left by boat again, heading straight for Yanziwu.Murong Bo and Murong Fu are the only powerful members of the Murong family. Murong Fu is probably dead now, and Murong Bo is hiding in the Shaolin Buddhist scripture pavilion.This Yanziwu is almost unguarded and has no strength at all.

Otherwise, in the original book, it is impossible for the Qingcheng faction and others to directly hit the door, and let Azhu and Abi deal with the great monk Jiumozhi.

It is a joke that a family determined to restore the country is so dilapidated.

Cao Kun rushed out of the reeds by boat, and saw a large manor located on the water village from a distance.AhZi next to her gazed in admiration, and said in amazement: "This place is so beautiful, I want to live here."

Cao Kun said with a smile: "This is Canhe Village, and Huanshui Pavilion and Yanziwu are in it. If it used to be, Abi and Azhu would be on duty outside the villa to see them off. But after I bought these two girls , this place is abandoned.”

Cao Kun jumped onto the pier, looked at the small houses beside the pier, shook his head and said with a sigh.The two maids lived here before, and they got along very well.Now weeds are overgrown, houses are dilapidated, and things are different.

"Is there no one in Murong's house? The door is closed in broad daylight. Should we knock on the door, otherwise it will be impolite."

"That's not necessary, just push the door and go in."

Cao Kun thought to himself that Murong's family really had no one left, so he immediately pushed the door, but was met with resistance.Immediately, the palm shook, and with a click, the door was pushed open.

"who!"

An old voice came, and Cao Kun walked into the gate to look, but saw a white-haired old butler looking out vigilantly with a sword in his hand.Seeing Cao Kun coming in, the old man looked surprised: "Mr. Cao, why are you here?"

Cao Kun said with a smile: "As entrusted by brother Murong, I am here to pay a visit to the old lady."

"Madam is paying respects to the Buddha in the nunnery, Mr. Cao will wait for a while."

Cao Kun nodded, entered the living room, and looked around with his hands behind his back.However, it was found that the house was in disrepair and lacked popularity.After waiting for a long time, two plainly dressed maids came to serve.

Cao Kun didn't drink tea, and waited for a while, and saw the old butler walking slowly with the support of the old butler, a beautiful woman in her forties.Cao Kun paused at the opponent's feet, smiled and saluted, "I've seen the old lady."

"Hero Cao, why didn't Fu'er come back?" Mrs. Wang didn't come in, she stood at the door and looked at Cao Kun with a cold face and asked.The old housekeeper took the bloody coat in his hands suspiciously, and then spread it out in front of Wang Shi, the master and servant shook their bodies and turned pale in an instant.

"Fu'er..."

Wang groaned, rolled his eyes and passed out.

Three days later, Mrs. Wang, dressed in white, sat down on a small stool with a sad face and burned paper for Murong Fu, but muttered coldly: "Master Cao, the relationship between my Murong family and Mandala Villa is not harmonious. Fu'er died." In front of you, have you ever rescued me?"

Cao Kun looked around and saw that there was no one around. He bent down and looked at Wang with interest: "What conflict do you have with Li Qingluo, why do you blame me? When I begged for Abi Azhu, you just opened your mouth for 10 taels." Baiyin, you want to make me look bad. Madam, you have made enemies innocently but want me to save Murong Fu, you are beautiful and you think you are beautiful."

Wang gritted her teeth and turned her head angrily: "I chose those two to be Fu'er's bed warming maids. If Fu'er hadn't been obsessed with martial arts, how could it be your turn? The surnamed Cao, you hold grudges against me because of this, what kind of hero are you? Good guy. Fu'er and Yuyan are cousins ​​at any rate, aren't you afraid of Yuyan's anger if you die? What's more, I am Aunt Yuyan, please be respectful."

Cao Kun's face was serious: "Auntie, it's my nephew Meng Lang."

Wang snorted coldly: "Which villain did Fu'er die at?"

"Only I know the truth about this matter." Cao Kun said with a chuckle, bent down and tilted his head, looked into Wang's angry eyes and said slowly: "Promise my nephew one thing, and my nephew will tell you the truth."

Wang raised her eyebrows and was about to scold.Cao Kun squeezed her wrist and said threateningly, "Only I know about this matter."

"Cao, don't regret it."

Wang's face was full of resentment.

Cao Kun pursed his lips with a provocative face: "As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you should be filial. I promised Brother Murong to take good care of you. If you don't walk carefully and don't care about your stomach, I'm afraid Brother Murong will scold me if you know it later. .”

When Wang heard this, she trembled with anger.

After a while, the candlelight on the table trembled.

Gritting her teeth, Wang said in a trembling voice, "Evil thief, tell me who that person is."

Cao Kun leaned over with a playful face, and said slowly, "Of course it's...his father."
