Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 98.layout
After the 1 taels of silver were exchanged, the rich boy and the maid accompanied him. Fan Xian watched them follow behind, frowned and asked, "Are they following all this time?"

"My lord, you are smarter than me, and you should know why." Yu Ping'er said with a smile.

Of course Fan Xian understood what Yu Ping'er meant.

The main hall is the densest place and the real core, so everyone who enters here must be equipped with a maid and a money boy, and these two people may be responsible for monitoring everyone.

It must be ensured that these people do not have any purpose. If these people are just here for fun, then there is no problem, and nothing will happen. But once there are people with impure purposes, the Xiuyutang will send people who specialize in watching the scene Come clean up these troublemakers.

That being the case, Fan Xian had to be more cautious when talking to Yu Ping'er.

"Let's play for a while, it seems that there is no dark head today." Yu Ping'er said.

Fan Xian nodded.

He also knew that after all, the dark head is something that only comes after the appearance of outsiders. If there are no foreign caravans or people with some strange things passing through Cangzhou City, or people with a relatively high risk factor come to Cangzhou City, These people will not do it easily.

If you don't do it, then the dark head will not appear, so it is understandable that there is no dark head today.Moreover, Fan Xian, who came here for the first time, didn't want to do big things, but just wanted to figure out this place. After all, it was right to lead by example and not do dangerous things.

Fan Xian and Yu Ping'er also wandered around here. They played Pai Gow, looked at the dice, and then looked at mahjong. Fan Xian also threw a few bets. It's more losses than losses, but it doesn't hurt.In less than an hour, Fan Xian withdrew from the gambling place, found a teahouse for rest, and then sat down.

"Pu'er." Fan Xian said to Xiao Er who had just walked over, and Xiao Er yelled, "Okay." Then he left.

After a while, the tea arrived at Fan Xian's table, and the rich boy was standing behind him with the banknote and the maid side by side, never leaving. Fan Xian looked at the other guests, and they were all the same.Coincidentally, at this time, Kong Cheng also came to the resting place here, made a pair of eyes, and saw Fan Xian.

"Yo!" The moment Kong Cheng looked at Fan Xian excitedly, although his heart was pounding, he still walked over with some excitement. After all, here, in the Xiuyu Hall, even if he was a rank nine, he couldn't just kill people casually!
"Master Kong!" Fan Xian stood up.

Kong Cheng was surprised and frowned, "How do you know my name?"

Fan Xian smiled all over his face and said, "Did you forget the person who told you to leave? That's mine!"

At this time, Wang Qinian's tall and mighty body suddenly reappeared in Kong Cheng's mind. At this time, Kong Cheng suddenly realized why he escaped so easily that day. It turned out that he was covered by a ninth-rank master. No wonder there were no more people looking for trouble later on, and the Fifth Master Cheng was murdered at home the next day. Thinking about it carefully, it must be Fan Xian in front of him who helped him!
After thinking about these things, Kong Cheng's eyes on Fan Xian had changed drastically. At this time, Kong Cheng looked at Fan Xian with a smile, "Hero, can you tell me your name?"

"My surname is Chen." Fan Xian said indifferently, this surname was the surname he often used in disguise.

"Brother Chen!" Kong Cheng began to flirt. He looked at Fan Xian with a smile, "I didn't think you would like to come to this place, brother. You should have told me earlier. I know this place well! I'll take you!"

As he was speaking, he was about to take Fan Xian to his desk. At this moment, he averted his eyes and saw Yu Ping'er beside him.

Yu Ping'er was not angry when she looked at Fan Xian, but when she saw this Kong Cheng, she was so angry that she couldn't forget it no matter what, and Yu Ping'er who stood up directly scared Kong Cheng so badly!Kong Cheng took a few steps back, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked tremblingly, "This...Brother Chen...Brother Chen, what's going on?"

"Don't panic, Brother Kong." Fan Xian smiled, and then Fan Xian said to Ping'er in a low voice, "If you make a mistake with me, be careful to pay for it!"

Yu Ping'er was startled. Looking at Fan Xian, she seemed to have made up her mind, so she nodded.

"My friendship with the Yu family is like that of your Kong family, you don't have to worry, I will have no problems here." Fan Xian said confidently.

Kong Cheng suddenly realized, and smiled knowingly with his mouth half-opened. The evil smile hung on his face again. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Fan Xian, "In this case, we are a family, Brother Chen, You are from another place, since you are in the country, you have to do as the Romans do, let me show you around!"

"Since you are so warm and hospitable, brother, I'd rather be obedient than respectful." Fan Xian smiled at Kong Cheng, then turned his head to look at Yu Ping'er, who just blinked at him. , and did not say too much.

The three of them walked down with two maids and the money boy.

Fan Xian followed all the way, and Kong Chengcheng walked out with ease. They bypassed the first floor of the hall and walked up. Fan Xian looked all the way, and Yu Ping'er behind said to Fan Xian in a low voice, "This There is actually no difference between the first and second floors, but the second floor is more suitable for friends to come together, and the first floor is more for juggling with a group of people, and the grades are actually opened between the first and second floors."

"Every venue on the second floor has a fee. It's not just that one person can play here casually. The venue on the second floor is charged according to the hour, 80 taels of silver per hour." Yu Ping'er explained.

Fan Xian continued to walk up and followed the crowd to the second floor. Kong Cheng was at the very front and called to Fan Xian, "Brother Chen, this way!"

"This is a private room, 120 taels of silver for an hour." Yu Ping'er blinked, "You can decide what to play in it, usually people come here only for friends' gatherings, there should be friends in him, you should pay attention."

Fan Xian nodded, seemingly not worried about his friend.

Kong Cheng pushed open the door, and Fan Xian walked in.

But the moment his footsteps were at the door, Fan Xian was stunned. He looked at everything in front of him, his eyes widened!

A person was pointing a knife at the body of a young girl in front of him at this time, drawing casually, with blood flowing all over the ground. At this time, the person turned his head slowly, and the moment he saw Fan Xian, he Grinning his mouth, he smiled naively.

It was none other than Cheng Dalong!

"The Cui family is in front of you." A person with a low voice said.

Cangzhou City under the night sky is now hidden. It seems to be covered with an invisible layer of mist, which is very strange. Three people are in the dense forest. It is not difficult to find out if you look closely, one of them is Shi explained.

As for the other person, he was wearing a tight night gown and a black silk mask on his face. He couldn't see anything except his eyes, so he couldn't tell who he was, let alone who he was.On the contrary, Shi Chanli was wearing plainclothes, not fully wrapped like him.

"Miss, are you sure you don't want us to accompany you?" Shi Chanli asked worriedly.

The girl waved her hand, "No need, thank you for your kindness, you don't need to wait here, I will go back to the inn to meet you."

"Okay, girl, be careful!" After the two of them cupped their hands, there was a sudden wind in front of them, and the girl who had just stood in front of him jumped up. The fallen leaves falling from the air just flew towards them, and the two of them stared at it in amazement. I'm afraid they will never achieve this kind of skill in their lifetime.

The residence of the Cui family is located on the south side of Xiuyutang, and there is only a wall separating the two places, so the security here is as strict as that of Xiuyutang, and the level of defense here is even higher, although it is not enough to compare with Ouchi. But in folk houses, it is already very powerful.

However, such power seems to no longer exist in front of the girl who just entered. This girl is extremely agile. The secret whistle outside the Cui family was completely ignored by her with such a light leap, and even the patrol whistle inside was completely ignored. They didn't even notice the existence of the girl. The girl jumped into the rockery and disappeared.

………………

………………

Fan Xian looked at the situation in front of him in shock. He felt as if someone had punched him from the top of his skull. Anger and patience appeared in Fan Xian's mind at the same time, but in the end he chose to endure it.

There were bloodstains everywhere in the house, and the owner of the bloodstains was the three maids on the wall. The three women were tied to the wall, their hands and feet were tightly bound to death, and their arms were thick and thin. The hemp rope was nailed to the wall, and there was no escape. The woman was dressed in rags, and a lot of meat was cut off from her back. There was still boiling water in the hot pot in front of her, and the meat was cooking in it.

"Here we come." Cheng Dalong's obese appearance is honest and cute, his smile is in front of him, he doesn't look like someone who can attack these three women, but obviously the reality is like this, the facts are all in front of him, Fan Xian couldn't help but not believe it .

"Here we come." Kong Cheng laughed heartily, "Dalong, this is the new friend I introduced to you. The relationship above my family is a ninth-rank master! Mr. Chen!"

"Dalong?" Fan Xian looked suspiciously at Cheng Dalong in front of him.

"This is Cheng Dalong, the son of Cheng Wuye in Cangzhou City today. Although I look up to Cheng Wuye, I have never met him, but Cheng Dalong and I are life and death friends." Kong Cheng laughed.

Yu Ping'er and Fan Xian were both shocked by this simple sentence!
Kong Cheng said that he didn't see Fifth Master Cheng, so who was it if he wasn't in the Beishan Gorge earlier?He was so vicious at such a young age, almost killed the other party's father, and now he is called brother and brother with Cheng Dalong, which makes people feel hatred in his heart.

But the two couldn't express it. Fan Xian looked at Kong Cheng, but didn't speak. When he was trying to find a way to get out of this room, Cheng Dalong spoke.

His voice was very slow, and he murmured, "Ninth Grade...is... strong?"

Cheng Dalong spoke very slowly. If he hadn't seen him here, Fan Xian would have thought he was a poor man with the same mental illness as Lin Dabao, but obviously not. The woman's dagger on the wall slowly walked in front of Fan Xian.

Fan Xian didn't back down, he looked at Cheng Dalong calmly, the other walked up to Fan Xian step by step, Kong Cheng didn't care what he wanted to do, just watched quietly from the side.

Suddenly, Cheng Dalong raised his dagger and stabbed it directly at Fan Xian's chest, right where his heart was. It is impossible to guard against, and it is a must-kill move!

But this is Fan Xian, not someone who is waiting for you, but Fan Xian with ninth-rank strength!
Immediately, Fan Xian grabbed the handle of the stabbing dagger, and struck down with one foot. Cheng Dalong's puffy body immediately flew up, and Fan Xian didn't follow. aside.This momentary movement caused Yu Ping'er to let out a loud cry.

Cheng Dalong was not angry or angry when he was thrown like this. Instead, his face looked very wronged. Fan Xian looked at the strange person in front of him and didn't say anything, and the other person seemed to be lying on the bed as if nothing happened. The ground picked up the flying dagger, and he slowly stood up with his head down, muttering, "Eating hot pot is fun, fighting is not fun!"

Kong Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, "Sure enough, he is a master of ninth-rank strength. If this move is changed by others, there is really no way out. Brother Chen is amazing! How powerful is he? Hahahahaha.

The laughing Kong Cheng did not relieve any embarrassment. Fan Xian looked at him, without any anger on his face, but a smile. Suddenly his body moved, and he stood in front of Kong Cheng in an instant. Pointing, pointing at Kong Cheng's chest!And that Kong Cheng thought that the scene just now was repeated on his body, and immediately took three steps back in fright, leaning against the wall!
Fan Xian didn't intend to kill him. After forcing Kong Cheng back, Fan Xian still had the same expression just now, but Kong Cheng was already full of panic!He didn't expect that when the opponent's overwhelming aura appeared in front of him, he would feel so oppressive!
With a disdainful laugh, Fan Xian turned around and walked out of the room.

Yu Ping'er followed, and Kong Cheng in the room was obviously still in a state of confusion and had not recovered.

"What's the situation?" Yu Ping'er didn't understand Fan Xian's actions just now, and asked with some doubts.

"Did you see those three women on the wall?" Fan Xian asked.

Yu Ping'er nodded, "I see, isn't such a thing normal? The more you are here, the more you will see."

"Hey." Yu Ping'er sighed, and shook her head, "You don't know, after others come to Xiuyutang, what they lament is not that it costs money to play here, but that it costs people to come here for a walk."

I guessed it, of course Fan Xian guessed it, the difference between this and Baoyue Tower is that they prefer gambling to flesh and blood business, so the current Xiuyutang is actually no different from Baoyue Tower, and that's why Fan Xian guessed it A more terrifying thing.

The function of the Xiuyutang is not just to make money for the Cui family.

He is very likely to be a large-scale money laundering organization, laundering the money smuggled in the internal treasury.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian realized how big a quagmire he had stepped into. Now he had some doubts about the position of the eldest princess in this matter. He didn't think that the eldest princess could hold such a large industrial chain and let He is living in such a smooth manner, this place is too close to the capital city, if it is placed in Danzhou and beyond, Fan Xian thinks that the eldest princess may be able to control it, but Cangzhou is too close, it has nothing to do with the emperor's feet The difference is that Emperor Qing can keep this place alive until the present, it cannot be covered by the power and face of the eldest princess.

Things have to be dug out slowly, of course one bite won't make you fat, and Fan Xian didn't expect to be able to completely wash away the dirty water in one night. It seems that he will have to stay a few more days in Cangzhou City It's night.

Fan Xian suddenly turned his head and asked Yu Ping'er who was beside him, "Do you know who that Cheng Dalong is?"

"Cheng Dalong, he is one of Cheng Wuye's sons. You have met Cheng Wuye. That time we photographed the old man in the dark, that's him." Yu Ping'er said, "This Cheng Dalong is not very famous on weekdays, and he is almost old. I'm 30 years old, basically I don't seem to have accomplished anything, I heard that my brain is not very smart, this is not the first time I met you, I didn't understand the behavior just now, I look like a fool."

"The Cheng family has not been going well recently. Cheng Wuye was originally the only connection between the Cheng family and the Cui clan, that is, Xiuyutang. Now that Cheng Wuye died suddenly at home, the life of the Cheng family may be coming to an end." Yu Ping'er pursed her lips, "Hey, the world is impermanent."

"Not necessarily." Fan Xian smiled.

"Ah?" Yu Ping'er blinked, "What's wrong?"

"The three women who were tied to the wall just now belonged to Cheng Dalong." Fan Xian said, "And they have a certain skill in their hands, even Cheng Dalong is not easy."

"Why do you see it? Aren't skilled women also very common?" Yu Ping'er asked.

"When we entered the room, although those women screamed terribly and the scene was very bloody, they didn't show any intention of resisting, which means that these women were forced to do this by Cheng Dalong voluntarily." Fan Xian said, "And Cheng Dalong The knife was stabbed in a lot of places around the waist and shoulders, and the rest of the place was intact. He seems to be performing an operation..."

"Hand... what?" This word is very unfamiliar to Yu Ping'er.

Fan Xian sighed, "I don't know why, but I always feel that this Cheng Dalong has something to do with Cheng Wuye's death..."

Yu Ping'er was confused, but followed Fan Xian and continued walking.

"You can go to a slightly higher floor." Yu Ping'er said, "Be careful of the blood splashed on you at night."

Fan Xian smiled contemptuously, and followed Yu Ping'er to the third floor.

"The third floor is actually no different from the second floor, but the rooms on the third floor are more luxurious, so the price of these rooms will be more expensive than those on the second floor. I don't know the exact amount." Yu Ping'er said , "I've never come up, basically go directly to the fourth floor."

"What is the fourth floor for?" Fan Xian asked.

"You'll know when you go up." Yu Ping'er led Fan Xian up.

After going up to the fourth floor, Fan Xian understood why Yu Ping'er often came here. The fourth floor was basically full of rich ladies.Looking at the past, this floor may be the most friendly floor. It is all gambling games of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the number does not seem to be very large. The people here are all brightly dressed, and they all look polite The appearance of talking and laughing, the smile is all over the face, and the red light is full of arrogance.

"The gamble here is quite interesting." Fan Xian said with a smile.

"Looking at it this way now, you will find it interesting, but if two sons come here and fall in love with a young lady, then you won't find it interesting. The water here is still very deep." Yu Ping'er said.

"Keep going up." Fan Xian said.

The Xiuyu Hall has a total of seven floors. The two walked up and down. In fact, the construction here is very beautiful and luxurious, but Fan Xian can't see it here. There is too much blood buried here, which makes Fan Xian feel the stench. breath echoed in the air.

The gambling games on the fifth floor are more advanced, and the silver limit is also very high. Fan Xian can barely enter with 1 taels of silver. This is what surprised Fan Xian. The gambling games on the fifth floor have everything , the guards here said that there is no limit to any game, as long as it is something that can be gambled, it can be counted as a bet, as long as it is a gamble that can be picked up, it can be gambled.

After doing some research, Fan Xian turned around and went straight up to the sixth floor, only to be told that he couldn't enter without a token.

"I've never been here, but I heard that someone bought this floor specially, but I don't know who it is." Yu Ping'er said on the way down with Fan Xian, "And I never I didn’t see anyone who could enter here, and it’s generally not open.”

Fan Xian nodded and walked down.

"It's almost time, you should be able to watch what you want to see." Yu Ping'er said.

"What?" Fan Xian asked.

"Dark water."

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd below had been dispersed, and Fan Xian and others had already reached the third floor.Looking down, the field of vision is also very wide.

The presenters and the like that Fan Xian imagined did not appear, but at this time the entire Xiuyu Hall became quiet, and some people gathered below. Yu Ping'er suddenly pushed Fan Xian's arm, and Fan Xian turned his head. looked over.

Only then did I see that it was not the bottom that announced things, but the top. From the seventh floor, three flags fell down. The height of the flags can be directly lowered from the seventh floor to the height of the third floor. Long, the flag is double-sided, the same number is written on the front and back, each flag has a number written on it, the color on the flag represents the order, the red flag represents the maid in red clothes, and the golden flag represents It is the rich boy in golden clothes beside him, and the white color represents the blank paper.

Immediately after the figures were announced, someone was thrown from upstairs.

He fell directly in front of Fan Xian. Fan Xian subconsciously reached out and grabbed the man who was thrown down in front of him!

"Ah!" The man looked at Fan Xian in front of him in horror. He was panting heavily, and firmly grasped Fan Xian's cuff. At this time, Fan Xian didn't know whether to let go of his hand, he just subconsciously He grabbed the person in front of him, but once he was caught, he couldn't let go. After all, it was a life.

"Fuck you aunt! Boy, how dare you stop me!" A voice fell from above, and Fan Xian could hear it clearly. It came from the fifth floor where everything was gambling. Said, "Boy, you fucking wait for me!"

While talking, people disappeared.

When Fan Xian heard this, he became very angry, and immediately grabbed the person in front of him to the top. The maid and the rich boy behind him were all taken aback. They didn't seem to expect that Fan Xian would save this person. They looked at each other. After taking a look, the maid said to Fan Xian in front of him, "My lord, you have violated a taboo."

"What taboo?" Fan Xian looked at the maid in front of him with some disdain, "I just watched him die?"

"You must watch him die," said the maid.

Fan Xian ignored her, but looked at the person he had saved on the ground, but at this glance, the person who had just been thrown on the ground had disappeared!
"He was right to run away." Yu Ping'er sighed, and said to Fan Xian, "You don't know, this is actually the biggest taboo, if he runs away, maybe you can be fine.
