The prince of heaven only wants salted fish
Chapter 56: The Lazy and Good-for-Nothing Wu Alliance Leader (4)
Jicheng: "Tell me, why do you want to spread those things outside?"
Bai Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment: "Which ones?"
Xiaolian, who was standing behind Jicheng, silently drew out her sword.
Bai Xiaosheng: "Oh, I know what they are. Hey, those, didn't I just explain them all? If this storyteller doesn't come up with a gimmick, who will buy it and give him a reward?"
Jicheng asked again: "Seriously?"
Bai Xiaosheng: "...if I answer the truth, would you believe it?"
Ji Cheng smiled and nodded: "Of course."
"However, the fact that I bought the title of the leader of the martial arts alliance is still the highest level secret in the martial arts world. My father has personally entrusted the leaders of several martial arts sects not to spread the word casually, so very few people know," he said slowly. He added, "As far as I know, Young Master Jiao is backed by Baihua Valley. Therefore, if Young Master Jiao nods, this young village owner will acquiesce. Young Master Jiao leaked this matter because of Baihua Valley's instructions."
He looked at the other party with a smile: "If you don't give me the face of Mingju Villa, the young owner of the village will have to write a letter to my father and ask him to go to Baihua Valley to find Master Jiao Valley and ask him personally."
Bai Xiaosheng's expression changed: "Do you know my identity?"
Jicheng raised his eyebrows: "What do you think? Mr. Jiao Liren——"
"Don't call me Jiao Liren!!" Bai Xiaosheng jumped up on the spot, "I am a dignified seven-foot man——"
Xiaolian took a step forward and pushed the person back to his original position.
Jicheng continued with a smile: "Don't arouse Mr. Jiao Liren. Let's go back to the question we just asked. Now please give me an answer - why do you pretend to be a storyteller and slander the reputation of Mingju Villa and Wulin outside?"
Bai Xiaosheng: "..."
He meant to say that I had only slandered your reputation, but thinking of the quarter of an hour in the bath before, he still answered honestly: "...well, someone paid me to tell the story. "
Jicheng: "Oh?"
Bai Xiaosheng continued: "What I said this time is true! What I did has nothing to do with my sister... that is Baihua Valley. My sister and I had a falling out a long time ago, and she gave me all my financial resources. No, I... Then I was short of money, so I went to Jiang'an City to work as a scholar and pick up some jobs in the world to make extra money. "
"After all, many people still believe in our Bai Xiaosheng name. If we sell some little information and make a fortune, we can maintain our livelihood without any problem."
"I just received an order two days ago. The employer specified the content and asked me to incorporate it into what I usually talk about - it's just like those of you doing chores and saying that the more exciting the material, the better," he muttered. , "Originally I would not do such an immoral thing, but he gave me too much."
Jicheng asked: "Then who is this person who hired you?"
Bai Xiaosheng said: "The identity of the employer is a top secret. I still pay attention to credibility when doing business!"
Jicheng slapped another silver note on the table.
Bai Xiaosheng: "Well, actually, I don't know who he is. He just wears a ghost mask, which is quite distinctive."
He thought for a while, then approached Jicheng and said: "Master Ju, I suspect that this person is jealous of your beauty, so he wants me to spread these things outside. He is really cruel!!"
"And I didn't know about the fact that you bought your title as leader of the martial arts league from my sister," Bai Xiaosheng added in a low voice, "You have been... ahem, you may have been reclusive in the past few months, so there is not much news. Well-informed, but in fact, your stories have been vaguely spread in the world in the past few months, so I just quoted and adapted them.”
Jicheng raised his eyes slightly and looked at him. Bai Xiaosheng immediately sat upright and raised one hand as if to swear: "Really, I'll serve four!"
Xiaolian: "Then you said that people in the world of charlatans don't lie to people in the world of charlatans."
Bai Xiaosheng: "... Jianghu people don't lie to Jianghu people!!"
Xiaolian's eyes showed surprise, and she turned to Jicheng and said, "Young Master, this person doesn't even care about the most basic bottom line of Jianghu people."
Bai Xiaosheng: "? What I said is really true!!"
Jicheng chuckled: "Young master Jiao Liren, don't worry, I believe what you say."
Bai Xiaosheng didn't even care that he was called by his real name again: "Really?"
Jicheng nodded and tapped the table with his fingertips: "But in the final analysis, you still insulted the reputation of my young master. I can promise you not to pursue this matter anymore, but accordingly, there are some things that I have to ask you to do."
Bai Xiaosheng was a little wary and said, "What?"
"After the conversation just now, I deeply feel that Mr. Jiao Liren's writing style and eloquence are amazing," Jicheng said in a gentle tone, "So the next task of establishing a reputation for this young master in the world will be left to you. ”
Bai Xiaosheng: "Wha, what?"
Jicheng: "To put it simply, it's just issuing a press release and creating hype."
Bai Xiaosheng: "?"
A few simple words succeeded in making his head spin.
Bai Xiaosheng tried to understand: "...you mean, let me use my Bai Xiaosheng's intelligence line to brag about your good reputation in the world?"
Jicheng nodded: "A child can be taught."
"That's not possible!" Bai Xiaosheng said excitedly, "I also have to pay attention to credibility when doing business! Are you asking me to sell false information to others?"
Jicheng slapped the third silver note with a face value of one thousand taels on the table.
Bai Xiaosheng: "...But proper beautification is not impossible to consider."
Xiaolian couldn't help but show contempt on her face.
Jicheng smiled and said, "The room is ready. Mr. Jiao, please go wash up and change clothes first."
A servant came forward in response, and Bai Xiaosheng followed him to the room, only to find that even hot water was ready inside - the other party had indeed planned this! You can almost predict when he will give in!
He took a hot shower, dried his hair and changed his clothes. When he went to the main hall again, the sky outside had completely darkened. The oiran's boat not far away was brightly lit, and there was a stage in the center. The courtesan wearing a veil played the harp under the moonlight.
The melodious sound of the piano makes the sparkling river water appear as beautiful as a fairy.
The previous collision didn't cause any disturbance. I don't know if it's because there are many accidents here, so everyone is not surprised, or if the rich owner of Ju Shao Village has already settled everyone.
Jicheng was leaning on the couch lazily watching the oiran's performance. There was a fruit plate and snacks beside him. Seeing Bai Xiaosheng come out, he said hello to him in a leisurely manner: "Here he comes."
Bai Xiaosheng nodded reluctantly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had fallen into someone else's trap.
At this time, Jicheng didn't know who to teach: "Other people's maids peel the fruits and feed them to the master's mouth."
Xiao Lian said in a disgusted tone: "Young master, if you don't have hands, my slave can help you chop it off."
Jicheng let out a disappointed sigh: "Before, you had to give me medicine yourself."
Xiaolian thought for a while: "Fifty taels of silver."
Jicheng: "Why do you still bring the price increase?"
Xiaolian: "If you don't pay me, I'll peel it off myself."

Seeing that a pair of masters and servants were about to quarrel, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but get closer and said, "I didn't expect that we are from the same profession. What do you call this girl?"
Xiaolian said expressionlessly: "Your father."
Bai Xiaosheng: "..."
Why are you attacking someone so well?
Jicheng: "Xiaolian is more concerned about me. Her words to outsiders are often offensive. Mr. Jiao, please forgive me."
Bai Xiaosheng: "…………"
Fortunately, the sound of bidding came from outside at this time - on the night of oirans, these oirans who come to perform their talents will naturally be auctioned. Whoever bids the highest price will have the reputation of these oirans rising to the next level. Not only that , the person who photographed them would be more proud to tell the truth.
The oiran who just played the piano has stood up. She is standing on the stage gracefully, with a hibiscus face faintly visible under the semi-transparent veil.
The shouts for the price of the boat below also became more and more passionate, reaching as high as five hundred taels.
Bai Xiaosheng: "Well, I just thought about it. Although we are paid to work for you, this beautification needs to be based on facts before I can process it for you."
He said cautiously: "But I don't seem to have any material now..."
Jicheng seemed to think for a moment: "Then what kind of things do Mr. Jiao think would be better for my reputation if publicized?"
This is simple. Bai Xiaosheng immediately said: "What we people in the world pay attention to is punishing evil and promoting good, gratification and vengeance, and if we want to tell a story, it must be some story about a hero saving a beautiful woman, fighting and killing, etc." It's eye-catching, but I heard that you don't seem to know much about martial arts..."
Suddenly a male voice came from the boat next door: "One thousand taels."
The boat owners shouting prices on the river fell silent.
Xiaolian went out to take a look and came back to report: "There is the emblem of the Dongmen clan on the boat next door."
The Dongmen family, a local snake family in the Jiang'an area, is quite powerful and has a reputation for bullying men and dominating women. However, it is deeply rooted in the family, and the eldest son of their family has joined the Qingyun sect among the four sects, and is backed by a big tree. It's really hard for anyone to do anything to them.
And the male voice from the boat next to him said loudly as if he was confirming: "Liniang, I'm going to make a decision. I want to see who else dares to compete with my east gate to the south?!"
To be honest, this kind of arrogant words are standard for dandies. Under normal circumstances, there will be a few compliments or a choking one. Bai Xiaosheng has made up this routine countless times in storytelling, but But at this moment, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
And the next moment, as if in response to his guess, Ji Cheng's voice sounded lazily: "One thousand and one tael."
In order to compete with the other party, he also added: "I also want to decide on this fruit peeler. I want to see who else is richer than me?"
Bai Xiaosheng: "..."
Xiaolian: "Why is it so expensive for her to peel fruit?!"
Dongmen Xiangnan didn't hear Xiaolian's protest. He only heard Jicheng's quotation, and immediately said angrily: "Two thousand taels!"
Jicheng: "Two thousand and one tael."
The east gate faces south: "Three thousand taels!"
Jicheng: "Three thousand and one tael."
Dongmen Xiangnan: "Who the hell are you? Are you looking for trouble with this young master?"
Jicheng: "What, you're not convinced?"
Dongmen Xiangnan: "Do you want to die?"
Jicheng: "You want to fight?"
Dongmen Xiangnan: "This is what you said!! If you can, don't leave after the bidding is over later!!"
Jicheng: "I'll see you in the woods on the riverbank after the show. If you don't come, you're not a real man."
Following the roar from the next door, "Come here, who's afraid of you?" Jicheng turned to Bai Xiaosheng and said calmly: "Okay."
"Isn't it okay for heroes to save beauties and fight and kill?"
