Chapter 584: Hongmen Banquet (I)

No one cares about Ouyang Feng's life or death. At least after the incident of Princess Jenny, everyone chose to forget him.

Although Ouyang Feng is a god-level master and is also very important, this is not a topic that ordinary people are concerned about. Catching a thousand and ten thousand god-level masters has no impact on the lives of ordinary people. In other words, it is too far away.

Compared with Ouyang Feng's case, a princess who can provoke more gossip among the public, and a person who has been arrested, of course, is more eye-catching than a princess whose life and death are unknown.

Especially some people who are familiar with Ouyang Shi, the royal family and the official three parties of Mengge City, a princess kidnapped Miss Huo Wu, the sister of the evil god of Huoyun. This princess is also the future daughter-in-law of the Ouyang family, and is also related to Ouyang Feng's uncle and nephew, which drags all the three parties into it!

How far is the sister of the Fire Cloud Evil God? No one knows how good is that he has learned from the Black Tower Province, but in the Black Tower Province, everyone knows that if the Fire Dance is activated, it is equivalent to the Fire Cloud's reverse scale, which is going to be in trouble.

Who is not good for Princess Jenny to kidnap? She kidnapped a woman like Huo Wu who is powerless. Isn’t this intentional way to provoke Huo Yun’s gunpowder barrel?

What is the difference between this and seeking death?

Princess Jenny is a little girl under twenty. Why is she so brave to do such a thing? Thinking of the imperial guards who appeared around her when Jenny kidnapped Huo Wu, more people think of the two imperial envoys who investigated the case, especially Liu Kuisheng!

Liu Kuisheng regretted it, so he shouldn't have softened his heart. He agreed to Princess Jenny to meet Huo Wu and sent the imperial guards to follow him. This is a good thing, he is involved and can't escape.

What if Princess Jenny has something to do, the emperor has no choice but to take the Black Tower, Huo Yun and others, but it would be a piece of cake to ask for his head?

So Liu Kuisheng was the most active person in finding the princess, and he did not hesitate to take action personally and chased him along the route of Princess Jenny leaving Mengge City.

Of course, losing the princess cannot be said that it was Liu Kuisheng's fault, but His Majesty the Emperor would not tell him this truth. Even if the Tian family is ruthless, they will not pursue him at all.

Liu Kuisheng regrets why he kept Princess Jenny at the beginning? If he had been cruel at the beginning, wouldn't he have nothing to do?

But does he dare to make such a cruel thing in this matter?

Dong Jianhui's life was not easy. He ran away from Lin Pingzhi and captured Ouyang Feng. This Ouyang Feng was a hot potato. Although he was thrown to the Black-hearted Governor, how should he be punished? This old man really doesn't know how to attack!

Ouyang Ke's case is basically clear, and the person who should be arrested was also arrested. Lin Pingzhi is not the main culprit, and even if he runs away, he will be punished first, which will have no impact on the verdict of the case itself.

The only thing that made Dong Jianhui happy was that the final judgment power of the case was handed over to the Mengge City Public Security Bureau in the three chapters of lawmaking with the Black-hearted Governor!

In other words, after he made the case document confession clear and handed it directly to the Public Security Department, how to sentence it and what sentence it was all about is the Public Security Department's own business.

As for the Ouyang Fen case, it is not that easy. It is not the time for him to throw it away. If this case is not used as a shield, he will have to take on the heavy responsibility of finding a princess with Liu Kuisheng. A willful and willful princess would rather find two unjust, false and wrong cases to rehabilitate.

There have been two important versions of the rumor about Princess Jenny's purpose of kidnapping Huo Wu, and the people of these two versions support their own statements, teahouses, restaurants, etc. in Mongo City, and all public places are basically talking about this.

The first statement was instructed by the imperial envoy, because when Princess Jenny was kidnapping people, there were imperial envoys guards on the side. Although they did not help Princess Jenny, they did not help Huo Wu. They did not help each other and watched Princess Jenny take away the master and servant of Huo Wu.

If it weren't for the instruction from above, why would the imperial guards neither help Princess Jenny nor come forward to stop them?

There are quite a few people who speculate this way, mainly those who support Governor Heita. They believe that the imperial envoy has ulterior motives for Governor Heita this time, so they naturally suspect that Liu Kuisheng is the mastermind behind Princess Jenny's kidnapping Miss Huo Wu.

The second version is that Princess Jenny is Ouyang Ke's fiancée. Although many people know about the scene that happened at the gate of the city, Ouyang Lin terminated the engagement with Princess Jenny on behalf of the Ouyang family in public, but Ouyang Lin is not the head of the Ouyang family after all, and the marriage contract with the royal family cannot be easily terminated with just one word. Princess Jenny came to Mengge City, naturally to save her husband. The people of Mengge City did not know how famous Princess Jenny was in search of the imperial capital. Instead, they believed that this Jenny was a kind and righteous woman. In order to save her review, she kidnapped Huo Wu and tried to exchange Huo Wu for her husband!

It is really difficult for such a woman who values ​​love and friendship. I wonder how many men envy Ouyang Ke, why did he find such a good wife?

Most people still believe in the second version, because this motive involves Princess Jenny's own interests and saves her fiancé. Although this is a bit outrageous, her courage is commendable and she has seen all the important figures in Mengge City. It is also the easiest way for Miss Huo Wu, who is powerless, is the easiest to start, and it is impossible for others to do so!

The second version is also beneficial to Liu Kuisheng. If Princess Jenny kidnapped Huo Wu to save Ouyang Ke, then Liu Kuisheng can only be a crime of poor supervision. Princess Jenny just made a little nonsense. Although this crime is true, as long as both parties are fine, they can still turn the position of war into a jade.

Liu Kuisheng was also willing to believe that Princess Jenny kidnapped Huo Wu for Ouyang Ke, but with his understanding of Princess Jenny, this narrow-minded princess would never kidnapped Huo Wu for exchange for Ouyang Ke, the so-called fiance. She only had herself in her eyes, so Liu Kuisheng had guessed that Princess Jenny had probably kidnapped Huo Wu, and used it to threaten Huoyun and the Governor of Heita to let them vent their anger on Ouyang Lin and the Ouyang family!

If someone terminates the engagement in public, this is even an ordinary person who can't swallow this breath, let alone the princess with golden branches and jade leaves?

He knew that even though he knew, he could not say it. Although Ouyang Lin verbally announced that the marriage contract between the two was terminated on behalf of the head of the Ouyang family, several days have passed, and there was no news about the Ouyang family and the imperial capital. Whether the marriage contract was terminated or what Ouyang Lin said did not count. There was no accurate letter, and these were all speculations in his heart. Without any evidence, he might even be charged with "slandering the princess", so Liu Kuisheng felt so distressed.

Ouyang Lin also knew this, and of course he would not say it. Both the first version of the speculation and the second version of the speculation were beneficial to him. Of course, under this premise, he rejected Ouyang Song and others' proposal to create momentum to use the rumors of the first version to provoke the relationship between Menggecheng and the imperial envoy, but chose to believe in the second version. The unified caliber also invisibly encouraged the possibility that the second version will be recognized more and more!

If Ouyang Lin used the first version to create momentum, he would probably force Liu Kuisheng to a dilemma of defeat. Although it might destroy the relationship between the imperial envoy and the official Mengge City, the rift between the Ouyang family and the royal family would have to increase a large part.

The relationship between the Ouyang family and the royal family has always been interdependent, and the consequences of breaking up are unimaginable. These are not what Ouyang Song, who only knows how to practice, understand.

As the first lawyer of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Jian understood this truth more and was consistent with Ouyang Lin’s opinion!

Speaking of which, Ouyang Ke did not commit a serious crime. So much has added a lot of sympathy to Ouyang Ke. People are always forgetful. Ouyang Ke’s arrogance and evil deeds are not directed at ordinary people. I love the house and the Ugly. If Princess Jenny really kidnapped Huo Wu for Ouyang Ke, she could get some sympathy. At least when the trial of Ouyang Ke, she would also have some emotional tendencies. The man who can make a princess infatuated in a country should not be too bad.

During the trial, the jury's opinion is also very important.

Of course, Ouyang Lin would not be stupid enough to oppose things that are beneficial to him or not. The first kind of pleasure that can be seen for a while will be left with all kinds of troubles!

"Ouyang Lin is a character. This person is a mainstay in the Ouyang family. No wonder Ouyang Xiong sent him here!" Xiao Lu heard Jian Wu's report on the trends of the Ouyang family.

"Ouyang Ke is still the same. Sir, has Ouyang Ke really lost his memory?" Jian Wu asked in confusion.

"Why, do you believe he has amnesia?" Xiao Lu asked with a smile.

"No, sir, I just think that it is very powerful to be able to pretend to be amnesia like this." Jian Wudao.

"I can't tell whether I am amnesia is gone, but even if Ouyang Ke is fine, he will have to go to prison for ten years. This is the order given by his lord!" Xiao Lu said.

"Ten years?" Jian Wu said astonished.

"If Ouyang Ke can really pretend to be crazy and have lost his memory for ten years, the lord's meaning is to end him!" Xiao Lu said with a cold smile.

"Kill him?" Jian Wu asked in surprise.

"Of course. A person can endure ten years of prison and pretend to be crazy and stupid without revealing flaws. If he is so tolerant and let go, wouldn't he become a strong enemy?" Xiao Lu explained.

Jian Wu nodded and asked, "What if I can't hold it in, it will be exposed?"

"Then I will destroy him. Ten years later, I will be a disabled person when I go out, and I will never have the chance to recover!" Xiao Lu said.

"Why don't you kill him?" Jian Wu asked strangely.

"Because it's too cheap to kill him!" Xiao Lu smiled.

"Can the Ouyang family be willing to do this?" Jian Wu asked carefully.

Xiao Lu smiled and said, "So what if the Ouyang family is unwilling to give up? Isn't Ouyang Chun the hands of my lord? Is it early for me to be a slave for a hundred years!"

When the lights were on, Hua Ming served Xiao Han to change into a navy blue silk, called black fast boots with thin bottoms, held a folding fan in his hand, and then made a pair of brown eyes. He walked quietly on the street alone, and his destination was naturally Piaoyulou.

"Is this person sick? He is so dark that he is wearing sunglasses?"

"Tsk, I'm blind, don't you see that?"

...

Xiao Han ignored the discussions coming from around him. The purpose of wearing sunglasses was to try not to recognize this face. Even if he closed his eyes, he could walk to Piaoyu Tower!

It is a distance from the yard bought by Hua Ming to Piaoyu Building, unless he is not afraid of shocking the world and has to find a tool for transportation.

Walking on the streets of Mengge City, you can still feel the heat of the sea breeze, but this temperature is nothing to him. Compared with the sweaty coachman on the street, he is also a middle-class among ordinary people.

Rickshaws, this kind of transportation tool has never disappeared from the earth with developed mechanical civilization, and can be seen everywhere on the vast continent. Although there are more comfortable and fast carriages, horses are not something that ordinary people can own. In addition to the preciousness of the horses themselves, there is also the food and drink of flattery not a small number. Most people cannot afford it. Therefore, horse carriages are generally used for long-distance transportation, while rickshaws are more popular in cities. Even if some nobles own horse carriages, they still use rickshaws when traveling. After all, rickshaws are much cheaper than horse carriages.

"Sir, where are you going?" Rickshaw drivers are the lowest class of society. They rely on hard work to make a living, but they still have to be exploited. It is difficult for a single rickshaw driver to survive in a city. Basically, more than half of their profits are to be respected to small groups, commonly known as gangsters!

Gangs are also at the bottom of society. If you know a few tricks of fighting spirit, you can pull up a team. Usually, you will change the head of the coachman in two or three months. The coachman does not belong to the coachman. Whoever controls the territory they are running will pay for them. They have no power to resist. Therefore, being a rickshaw driver is less than a beggar!

Therefore, rickshaw drivers generally don’t have enough food and don’t wear warm clothes. They don’t have a decent piece of clothing. Their rickshaws may not be their own, and they have to pay a considerable rent. Maybe it’s good to survive in one day and make enough money for the whole family to have enough food!

In Mengge City, a high-consumption place, a family of three needs at least three silver coins to eat every day. When they take a train, one silver coin nearer or five far away, they only earn twenty or thirty silver coins a day. Most of this money will be respected and controlled by gangs in various parts of the city. After this, it will probably be one or two tenth of what can be put into their hands. If they have to pay for renting rickshaws, they will likely not make anything and pay for it in that day!

Except for Xiao Han who was short of money at the beginning, when he invented the Crescent Paper, money had become a bunch of numbers. Even when he built the Fengcheng City, he had such a large funding gap. He never worried about holding a big gold mine like the Crescent Paper, and he no longer worried about being short of money.

But he was short of money today, not much, only two silver coins, but he searched through all his pockets and couldn't find two silver coins. Of course, he had also found all the space rings, and the lowest currency was gold coins.

So Xiao Han had no choice but to take out a gold coin to make change for his coachman!

Looking at the golden gold coins, the coachman's eyes suddenly shone. One gold coins were enough for him to pull it three or four times. Under normal circumstances, it is rare to meet someone who would use gold coins to make changes. Those who asked for rickshaws would bring their own change, especially those who were stingy would bring dozens of copper coins, and they would be stingy about one or two copper coins!

The coachman is an honest man. Although he looked at Jin Cancan’s gold coins very attractive, he resisted the temptation and said that he could not find it at all!

Xiao Han is not a stingy person, so there is no problem in giving this gold coins to the coachman, but the problem is that there is no free lunch in the world. Anyone wants to get it for nothing, so who will work?

So Xiao Han thought of a flexible idea, and gave him a gold coin to the coachman, asking him to wait outside the Piaoyu Tower, wait for him to finish his meal, and then send him back, and all the gold coin was given to him.

One round and one round requires four silver coins, and one gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins. That is to say, there are six silver coins. Six silver coins will take three rounds, which will take one or two hours. Sometimes it may not be possible to attract guests. You can get six silver coins for a free time after staying outside for an hour or two. Such a cost-effective business, the coachman happily took over.

As for whether he would run away with this gold coin, it was not Xiao Han’s concern, it was a matter of human heart.

A gold coin can see a person's heart clearly, which is worth more than a transaction for Xiao Han.

In fact, Xiao Han was testing the driver, and he was testing himself. In the past, he asked himself that he was not much better than the rickshaw driver, but there was no such cruel living environment on the vast continent. A rickshaw driver might earn more than he, a glorious people's teacher, but he was more comfortable than others and did not need to come from the wind or go from the rain. What kind of mentality is that? And now he is this mentality!

This is a question of the soul. Should he become a god who is superior and is an ants in the world? Or should he regard himself as a flesh and blood person?

What is the difference between man and God?

With this question in mind, Xiao Han stepped onto the steps of Piaoyu Tower!

Piaoyulou is a little good at doing, and there is no phenomenon of bullying customers in the store. Even if a beggar wants to enter, no one will stop him, but the premise is that it does not affect the consumption of other customers!

Only in this case can Piaoyulou chase people!

Even if a beggar is covered in patches, as long as he is clean and spends money, he will naturally be a guest in Piaoyulou. As for the problems that affect the appetite of other guests, he can open a private room, just be clear.

Piaoyulou is very famous for "Welcoming guests from all over the world with a smile".

"Welcome!" A crisp and sweet voice made Xiao Han feel like he was back to Earth.

Yes, this is the attitude you want!
