Chapter 7 The Dirty Place in the Wealthy Family’s Mansion

"Mistress!"

Seeing that his plan failed and that his beloved general was still captured, Scarface suddenly shouted angrily, drove away the escort leader Zhao with a knife, and then rode towards Zhang Wei's motorcade.

Under Scarface's screams, or in other words, under the intimidating power of the long knife in his hand and the tall horse on his hip, a bandit's charge forcefully made him feel like a general charging into battle.

He rushed past the two bodyguards who were blocking the way, but he didn't even look at his good brother who was restrained by Zhang Da and others, but went straight to Zhang Wei's carriage.

Obviously, he, the boss, had the same plan as his younger brother.

However, Zhang Wei would not get what he wanted.

Zhang Wei stretched out his hand like lightning, took off an exquisitely crafted sachet from his waist, and then threw it towards Scarface's head.

Scarface stared, and when he saw that what was thrown over was just a sachet, he immediately curled his lips and thought to himself that these gentlemen from noble families really all have embroidered pillows, and now they all threw out their sachets in a panic. .

Do you think you can delay time in this way?

joke!

The scarred face laughed ferociously, and swung the long knife forward in his hand. A flash of silver light flashed, and the exquisitely crafted and valuable sachet was immediately split into two.

However, Scarface's expression suddenly changed.

Because as the sachet was cut off, a ball of white powder stored inside also exploded. Coupled with the galloping of the horse under his crotch, his entire body was covered tightly with white powder.

"ah---"

When the white powder entered his eyes, Scarface immediately let out a scream, and the stinging sensation in his eyes told him what it was.

lime!

Gan!

You bastard is not a son of a man. If you don’t put spices and rouge in a good sachet like other young men, why put lime in it?

Then, before Scarface could call for help, Zhang Wei rushed out of the carriage, stepped on Scarface's crotch on the horse's head, jumped into the air, and kicked Scarface on the head!

"ah!!!!"

Scarface was hit hard on the head, his body suddenly lost balance, and he fell off the horse. Then before he could get up, Zhang Da and the others next to him immediately jumped up with ropes, three times five divided by two. So he tied up Scarface and Five Flowers.

"The boss's failure——"

Seeing that Scarface was captured, the gang of bandits blocking the road across the street suddenly let out a strange cry, and then they immediately dispersed, rushing towards the mountains and forests on both sides of the road. Zhang Wei's sharp eyes saw the man who had spoken before The stupid little brother ran extremely fast. He disappeared in a flash. Zhang Wei was so fast that he even doubted whether the other party had specially practiced the movement technique.

At this time, the escort leader Zhao quickly ran up on his horse, then got off his horse and knelt down with the knife in his hand. He apologized to Zhang Wei with an annoyed look on his face and said: "Young Master. Our Fuwei Escort Agency did not do things well, which made this young master suffer." I’m frightened, please give me a heavy punishment!”

Zhang Wei glanced at Bouncer Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly: "You can talk to my brother about this later."

After saying that, he didn't care about the dejected look on Zhao's head's face, and got directly back into the carriage.

Having encountered a setback from Zhang Wei, escort leader Zhao had to vent his resentment on Scarface, who had caused his escort agency to lose face in front of the nobles. He stood up and kicked Scarface hard on the knee.

"It's all you who suffered a thousand blows!"

Scarface groaned in pain and knelt down on one knee, but he still held his neck and taunted Zhao Biaotou: "Longyou was tricked by shrimps in the shallows, and tigers were bullied by dogs when they fell flat. That's all you can do. If you can, let me go and fight with me for three hundred rounds!"

"Shut up!" Bouncer Zhao angrily slapped Scarface a few more times, then threw him to the two escorts accompanying him, and said viciously: "Tie them up and throw them into the trunk. The horse bandits who managed to escape from other places have been involved in several bloody cases, and they will go to Luoxia County to exchange bounties for the nobles to make amends for their crimes! "

"yes!"

The two escorts immediately agreed, and then with gloomy expressions they roughly pushed the scarred face to the back of the convoy. After all, it was because of each other that they had not made any money on this trip. It’s good for the Zhang family to apologize!

One hundred taels of silver, their escort agency has to take two heavy escorts!

Therefore, the two escorts were very rude and wanted to tear Scarface's shoulder blades apart.

However, even so, Scarface still shouted reluctantly when he passed by Zhang Wei's carriage: "Huh! You yellow-haired kid! If you hadn't used some dirty tricks, how could I have gone down the mountain in a dignified manner like a tiger wearing a tiger?" Follow your path! I don’t accept it! You have the ability to fight to the death with me!”

"Shut up!"

When the escort saw this, he kicked Dai Hu again. You bastard are afraid that this man will not be able to vent his anger, right?

And just when he took out a piece of rag to stop Dai Hu's mouth, the curtain of Zhang Wei's carriage was opened again.

Zhang Wei looked coldly at Dai Hu outside the car, who still looked unruly, and snorted: "You are not convinced, are you? There is something even more dissatisfying for you."

"Zhang Da, pick out his hamstrings and hand tendons for me to prevent him from finding a chance to escape. Anyway, just leave him open for interrogation by the government."

After saying that, he directly lowered the car curtain regardless of Dai Hu's reaction, leaving only Dai Hu and the people around him with shocked expressions.

"yes!"

Zhang Da responded, then pulled out the knife from his waist with a grin on his face, and walked slowly towards Dai Hu.

When Dai Hu saw this, his unruly expression finally couldn't be maintained anymore, and he shouted in horror: "Stop... stop, don't come over, don't come over! Ah!!!!"

With four popping sounds, Dai Hu screamed in pain, and the escort beside him stuffed the rag in his hand into Dai Hu's mouth, blocking his voice.

Then, the two of them dragged Dai Hu away like a dead dog. There were two red marks along the way that were so dazzling.

Escort Zhao swallowed, and then glanced at the carriage with fear, thinking that this time Fuwei Escort would have to bleed heavily, otherwise he would not be able to satisfy this man.

Officer Zhao sighed, then waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

After solving Dai Hu's gang of horse bandits, Zhang Wei and his party never encountered any other troubles on the way down, and they arrived at Luoxia County smoothly.

Opening the curtain and looking at the five-foot-tall Luoxia City gate tower in front of him, Zhang Wei let out a sigh.

"It's finally here, my ass is about to fall apart!"

Looking at Luoxia County in front of him, information about Luoxia County gradually emerged in Zhang Wei's mind.

Luoxia County is one of the thirty-six counties in the Yun Kingdom. It is named after the Luoxia Mountain, which covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles. At the end of each month, colorful rays of light will fall in the mountains and forests.

Even because of this wonderful scenery, Luoxia County organizes Luoxia Poetry Festival every once in a while, inviting a group of literary talents to a temple in Luoxia Mountain to recite poems and compose poems. The literary style here has increased day by day, and now it has become a local A business card to attract tourists from out of town.

However, Zhang Wei learned from the records of the Five Realms Miscellaneous Affairs that Luoxia Mountain is actually the clan land of a cultivating family in the Yun Kingdom with a foundation-building expert, and the colorful Luoxia Mountain is just used by their clan. It's just a strange phenomenon that occurs when the ten thousand rays of light array that locks Luoxia Mountain's inspiration from being polluted by the outside world is activated.

It can be seen that this world of immortality is quite close to ordinary people. It's just that most people don't have the opportunity to break through that layer of mist. Sometimes, it's often only a mountaintop away, but it's an insurmountable chasm.

At this time, after Zhao escort leader finished talking to the officer on duty at the city gate, he saluted Zhang Wei and said: "Second Master, the procedures for entering the city have been arranged. And we also found out the whereabouts of the tiger who went down the mountain. It is said that he is The wild ghost who had just escaped from Moya County escaped to Luoxia County because he accidentally killed the legitimate son of a county lord and was wanted by all parties.

This incident caused quite a stir in Moya. It is said that in order to take revenge, the county master promised to pay two hundred taels of silver to anyone who could avenge his beloved son! Later, I will exchange this sick cat for a reward of silver and deliver it to your house in person! "

Hearing what escort Zhao said, Zhang Wei couldn't help but look at him one more time.

Because the bounty mentioned by the escort leader Zhao was a bit too high. After all, in this world, gold and silver are also valuable to immortal cultivators, so money is still quite valuable.

A strong man working in the city can burn high incense for one penny a month. Otherwise, how could the elders of the Zhang family see him spending hundreds of taels of silver on a spiritual stone that is of no use to ordinary people and call him a prodigal?

According to the exchange rate in the world of immortality, two hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for twenty taels of spirit stones. It is more than enough to invite some immortal cultivators in the middle stage of Qi refining to arrest him. How can he give Dai Hu a chance to escape from Moya County?

Therefore, I am afraid that a considerable part of the two hundred taels of silver was the compensation money given to Mr. Zhang Er by the Fuwei Escort Agency, who borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha.

"Two hundred taels of silver. It seems that this sick cat made the county magistrate very angry, and he was willing to spend such a huge sum of money. Okay, I'll do as you say." Zhang Wei chuckled twice. , glanced at Bouncer Zhao meaningfully, and then lowered the car curtain again.

"Zhang Da, let's go, we have to go to my uncle's house to express our condolences."

"Yes, Second Master." Zhang Da nodded, and then drove into the city.

Watching the carriage go further and further away, escort leader Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a look of pain.

Two hundred taels of silver, Dai Hu's sick cat's head is only worth thirty taels, the remaining 170 taels have to be paid by their Fuwei Escort Agency. It can be expected that the food treatment of brothers in the bureau will drop a lot in the next period of time.

"Forget it, as long as it can calm down the Zhang family, it's worth it!" Zhao Biaotou sighed, and then led the Fuwei Escort Agency to their destination in Luoxia City.

On the other side, Zhang Wei also followed his memory to the front door of Li's house and handed his greetings to the housekeeper at the door.

When the butler saw the name on the sticker, he was shocked and said: "It turns out that Mr. Zhang Er is here! Please come quickly! I will inform the master now!"

After saying that, he welcomed Zhang Wei and others in, and while serving them carefully, he ordered his servants to help Zhang Da and others move in some of the things Zhang Wei had brought.

Zhang Wei walked into the mourning hall. His uncle Li Defu's coffin was placed in the center, and the white candles placed in all directions illuminated the mourning hall warmly.

In front of the coffin, in addition to the sacrifices placed, there is a lifelike black and white portrait. The one painted on it is his uncle Li Defu.

This scene with a strong sense of déjà vu did not make Zhang Wei's expression change at all, because this was also his fault.

Ever since his brother Zhang Xiong used the portraits Zhang Wei had drawn for them to commemorate the guests at his parents' funeral, the custom of painting a black and white portrait of the deceased and hanging it in the mourning hall has inexplicably spread in Luyang County and even the entire Yun Kingdom. Now this custom is said to have spread to several neighboring countries.

Those with connections will even hire cultivators who are good at painting to paint before the deceased dies, as if not doing so is unfilial and will be expelled from the circle of wealthy families.

And Zhang Wei, the "originator", inexplicably gained the reputation of a filial son, and then under Zhang Xiong's operation, it spread to several surrounding counties. Everyone who heard it was in tears, and even many literati used him as material for writing poems and essays.

Shaking his head and sighing, Zhang Wei then followed the etiquette of the Yun Kingdom and performed the etiquette to his uncle's remains meticulously, and then knelt down and kowtowed four times.

Then his cousin, Li Sheng, who was dressed in plain clothes, came forward to return the greeting. Zhang Wei quickly helped him up, patted his hands and said, "Cousin, I am very sorry for your loss."

Li Sheng nodded with a sad face and said, "Zijie, before my father passed away, he always missed you and Zhongxiu and often urged me to learn more from you two. But I didn't expect that I didn't have time to do something to make my father proud. My father..."

At this point, Li Sheng started crying again. The housekeeper next to him saw that Li Sheng was still holding Zhang Wei's hand, so he quickly reminded him.

"Master..."

After Li Sheng came to his senses, he said to Zhang Wei apologetically: "I'm sorry, Zijie, I made you laugh. You have come from afar and must be tired from sleeping in the open air. I will arrange a welcome party for you."

However, Zhang Wei refused: "Cousin, you are still keeping vigil, and I am your uncle's nephew. How can you ignore etiquette and entertain me instead of being filial to your uncle?"

"Besides, we are also here to pay our respects. Don't make a big fuss. Just arrange two rooms for us to rest."

"This... okay..."

Li Sheng hesitated and sighed, then instructed the housekeeper beside him: "Old Li, take my cousin to the backyard and arrange a good wing room. Don't neglect it!"

"Yes! Master." Butler Li responded, and then asked Zhang Wei: "Second Master, please follow me."

Zhang Wei nodded, and walked towards the backyard of the Li Mansion with peace of mind under the guidance of Li's chief steward.

It has to be said that both the Li family and the Zhang family, as powerful families in the area, enjoy the best configuration in the local area.

There are pavilions, towers, exotic flowers and trees along the way. Zhang Wei also saw many bright birds unique to Luoxia County being raised in bird cages on both sides of the corridor. The crisp bird calls in his ears all the way made people feel happy and diluted the solemn and depressing atmosphere in the front hall.

However, just when he passed a corner, Zhang Wei suddenly felt a sense of coldness. He looked towards the source and saw a big stone at the corner. There was a small well under the big stone.

It was not too big or too small, just enough for a person to fall in.

"What is that?" Zhang Wei pointed to the well and asked, "Why is it a good well pressed with a big stone?"

"Ah?"

Butler Li was stunned, then looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw what Zhang Wei was pointing at, his face suddenly changed and became very unlucky.

Then he quickly smiled and said to Zhang Wei: "It's just a scenic stone to suppress Feng Shui. This place is quite yin, and many family members in the clan feel uneasy when passing by here. After asking an expert to look at it, he said that this place is the gathering place of yin in our Li Mansion, so he asked us to put a piece of fire smoke stone to suppress the yin.

As a result, you know what, Second Master, this expert is an expert. Since placing this fire smoke stone, everyone has never felt anything strange when passing by here, except that it is a little cold."

"Oh..."

Zhang Wei nodded, but his eyes glanced at the fire smoke stone.
