Chapter 132 Madam: Jiusi, is this the Avici Hell?

Ah!
Looking at the information refreshed by the system today, Chen Jie's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because today's intelligence actually includes the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms that he had been dreaming of!
Moreover, intelligence showed that the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms was at the Jixiang Temple that he had visited today.

[Room No. Tianzi Jia] This sounds like the room where the top leader in Jixiang Temple lives?
Is this Master Shizuka’s room?
But why is the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms placed in the Jixiang Temple? Could it be that this old beggar is having an affair with Master Jingxiang?

Chen Jie thought of a possibility, but it was just a guess and there was no real evidence.

Or maybe the old beggar deliberately found a place that was far away from the place and put the secret book there, so that no matter how hard anyone tried, they would never find the Jixiang Temple.

If he hadn't been thinking about the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms all the time and hadn't accidentally broken into the Jixiang Temple, he probably wouldn't have been able to directly activate the intelligence system and give the exact location.

After many experiments, Chen Jie discovered that the mechanism for refreshing intelligence in this intelligence system requires previous contact.

After the upgrade, there is an additional function of locking information with the mind, but this function also seems to be related to contact.

For example, in recent days, Chen Jie locked onto the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, and all of them were obtained some unimportant information. Only this time, after going to Jixiang Temple, the system immediately locked onto Jixiang Temple and gave the exact location.

If I hadn't come across Jixiang Temple today, the information I would have obtained would probably be that the location of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms was in a large area thirty miles south of Mianshui City.

It won't be specific to a specific room.

Now, in Room No. 1 of Tianzi, Chen Jie thought about it and decided that it was not appropriate to go there today. The city gates were closed and the people of the Fishing Gang had withdrawn. If he left the city again, he would be too conspicuous and that would not be a good thing.

Especially when looking for peerless magical skills like the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, one should be more cautious.

Let’s go tomorrow, and explore Jixiang Temple at night!

After making up a plan in mind, I looked at other information.

The first piece of information solved a puzzle for Chen Jie. The reselling of ironware had been going on for more than a year. Why was it not discovered earlier or later, but at this time? It turned out that there was a secret behind it by Feng Xuanming.

Let’s think about Si Xi’s reactions before and after Wang Da became rich.

Chen Jie got an answer. Zheng Chuan had indeed done the stupid thing of colluding with Zoroastrianism to engage in smuggling, and was also the murderer of Lao Si.

But there has actually been a driving force behind this, and that is Feng Xuan.

All of this was a trap set by Feng Xuan, a trap targeting Zheng Chuan.

Chen Jie suspected that Feng Xuan knew about Zheng Chuan's smuggling of ironware from the beginning, and it was even a trap set by Feng Xuan to trick Zheng Chuan into falling into. Zheng Chuan was stupid enough to actually fall into it.

Then he forced Zheng Chuan to this point step by step, and finally he reported it, which ignited a fire among Darughachi.

With the status of Darughachi, he put pressure on Peng Shizhong, forcing him to take ruthless action to deal with Zheng Chuan.

Chen Jie could see through Peng Shizhong's character. He had the typical mentality of a parent and was somewhat doting on his children. If Darughachi had not intervened in this matter, Peng Shizhong would never have been so cruel as to kill him.

And Feng Xuan obviously knew his adoptive father very well.

If you don’t take action, it’s fine. But if you do take action, it’s a killing move.

My elder brother is really as venomous as a snake.

Chen Jie became wary of Feng Xuan. He had to be careful with people like him, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

Let’s look at the second piece of information.

There were actually 10,000 taels of silver hidden in the Zheng Mansion, and Zheng Chuan buried it under the lotus pond.

Ten thousand taels, this is really not a small amount of money. Well, it's unexpected money. I'll grab it when I get a chance. It will be just right to fill my own piggy bank.

Then there is the third and fourth pieces of information. Putting them together, it turns out that Master Jingxiang was originally an outer disciple of Emei, but unfortunately an abandoned disciple.

What is an abandoned disciple?

That is, the disciple who has been abandoned by the sect. From then on, Emei will no longer recognize you as an Emei disciple. And whether you live or die in the martial arts world, whether you are successful or destitute, it has nothing to do with Emei.

This is the abandoned disciple, the disciple who draws a clear line between himself and others.

But even though he is an abandoned disciple, he has good vision. After all, he has been in the big sects in the martial arts world.

It seems that I have to be more careful when I visit Jixiang Temple at night.

After checking the intelligence, Chen Jie slowly stood up, but unexpectedly he alarmed Su Yunjin.

The young lady hugged Chen Jie and said, "Today, don't go practice shooting today, stay with me!"

"You didn't sleep?"

Chen Jie turned to look at the young lady, who looked at him and said, "I slept for a while, and I woke up when you moved."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie stretched out his hands and hugged the young lady’s slender waist and said, “It’s impossible not to practice with the spear, come on, lady, you practice with me.

Woohoo...

The night was filled with boundless spring beauty, and the two were intimate with each other.

There was no talking all night, and the next morning.

Chen Jie felt refreshed, but the young lady was unable to get out of bed. Although a night of spring flowers was better than countless other things in the world, it still made her muscles tired and her body sore.

But it is not the case with Chen Jie. Practicing martial arts has made his body extremely strong.

His foundation is too good, no delicate girl can compete with him.

"Ah~Brother-in-law, where's my sister?"

The little bean came out yawning, and Chen Jie said, "He's staying in bed."

At this time, Su Yunjin in the room wanted to get up, but the numbness in her waist and knees made her curl up in the quilt.

Hearing this, Xiao Douding laughed and said, "What a lazy bug! The sun is about to burn your butt."

Hearing this, Chen Jie smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, let your sister sleep for a while. Come on, brother-in-law will take you to have breakfast."

"What do you want to eat today?"

“Meat wontons.”

"Okay, let's have the meat wontons."

"I want two bowls."

"Okay, brother-in-law will order four bowls for you. Eat two bowls. How about two bowls?"

"No, it's a waste if you can't finish it. Ruirui, two bowls are enough. Don't order too much."

Chen Jie said, "Okay, then leave two bowls for my brother-in-law to eat."

The two, one big and one small, left the yard chatting and laughing, while Su Yunjin in the house wrapped herself in a quilt and breathed a sigh of relief.

I was so exhausted from practicing shooting yesterday...

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she was so excited during practice last night that she even screamed twice. She couldn't help blushing. My husband, you won't think I'm a loose woman, will you? I can't do that again in the future, but I can't help it!

So ashamed...

In the morning, Chen Jie and Xiao Douding ate wontons from Yang Laosan's family. Their wontons tasted particularly good, but the price was one penny more expensive than other restaurants.

Chen Jie is not short of money now, so he doesn't have to be as frugal in food as the people in Mianshui County.

After having a full meal and returning home, Su Yunjin was finally able to go out and eat the breakfast that Chen Jie brought back.

"My lady, you eat first. I'm going to the White Tiger Hall first. I have a lot of things to do today. I may come back late tonight, or I may not come back at all. I will come back early tomorrow morning."

Su Yunjin froze while eating breakfast after hearing this, and then asked, "Is there any danger?"

Chen Jie said: "No."

"Oh, be careful then."

Chen Jie said: "Well, don't worry."

After watching Chen Jie leave, the little kid next to him looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Sister, are you feeling unwell today? Why are you staying in bed?"

"Didn't you tell me that a day's plan begins in the morning? Last time I stayed in bed late, you made me copy the Three Character Classic three times as punishment..."

"You also want to punish me by making me recite the Three Character Classic three times?"

Su Yunjin looked at the little kid, who grinned and said, "Actually, I wanted to eat fried meatballs for lunch today..."

"Well, in a moment, I will go and copy the Three Character Classic five times! We will have tofu and cabbage for lunch today!"

Um? ?

The little kid was confused and stared at his sister blankly. What? How could there be such a person in the world who would rather copy books than eat meatballs!

……

White Tiger Hall.

The White Tiger Hall looked solemn and heavy today, with two large white lanterns hung at the door and all the servants in the mansion wearing white belts.

There was no smile on anyone's face.

After entering the White Tiger Hall, the main hall was set up as a mourning hall, with a half-covered coffin placed in the hall.

A tablet is enshrined in the mourning hall.

A day later, another funeral took place in the White Tiger Hall.

The fourth brother died first, followed by the second brother.

All the people from the White Tiger Hall who did not have time to leave yesterday gathered together again and expressed their condolences to the Second Master.

Not far from the mourning hall, a group of women were kneeling. They were all Zheng Chuan's wives and concubines.

Among these wives and concubines, there were three children standing there. They were all descendants of Zheng Chuan.

Peng Shizhong still softened his heart and found a separate courtyard for these women and children and raised them well. Although they no longer had the splendor they had before, they could be said to have no worries about food and clothing.

The women knelt on the ground and sobbed.

I don’t know whether they are crying for their men or for their lost wealth and glory!
Tears could not stop flowing, and gang members gradually entered the White Tiger Hall.

Chen Jie arrived very early and stood beside Peng Shizhong. Peng Shizhong looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, Lao Er has already paid the price for his wrongdoings. His family has not been affected by the disaster. Don't pursue his children, wives, and concubines. You should treat them well."

Although Chen Jie did not agree with Peng Shizhong's words, he still nodded in agreement.

Just then the eldest brother Feng Xuan and the third brother Lu Rong arrived.

The two arrived at the mourning hall. Lu Rong was a little sad and shed tears silently.

The eldest brother seemed even sadder, and cried loudly: "Second brother, why are you so confused? We have such a good relationship as brothers, and you leave me like this. I am heartbroken. Second brother, I can't get over it. We are not reconciled enough, second brother, ah ah..."

The eldest brother cried so hysterically that if you didn’t know him, you would think he and the second brother had a very good relationship.

Some people even commented below.

"Look how sad the old man is crying. I didn't cry that much even when my mother died. It seems that even though the old man and the second master are fighting, they still have real feelings for each other."

"Yes, Master, I value friendship. If Second Master hadn't pressed me so hard these years, Master wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation."

"Isn't it? It's not easy for me!"

Everyone talked at once and praised Feng Xuan highly, thinking that he was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.

Comparatively speaking, Master Wu was a bit cold-blooded. He hadn't shed a single tear from the time he entered the door until now.

Everyone was thinking about this. Peng Fu saw Feng Xuan crying sadly and said, "Master, that's enough. Stop crying. The dead cannot be resurrected."

"Ah, Uncle Fu, my heart aches, my heart aches!"

Feng Xuan cried loudly, and Peng Fu said, "I know, I know."

"Come on, family members return the favor."

After hearing this, Feng Xuan was helped to the front of the group of women. Mrs. Zhao led the sisters to return the greetings and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Feng Xuan supported Madam Zhao with his face full of grief, but his eyes glanced at Madam Zhao's beautiful body and thought, is this the apple of the second son's eye?
Not to mention she does look good.

Mrs. Zhao was such a shrewd person. She started out as a peasant girl with no background, but she relied on her own means to gradually suppress the eldest lady from a wealthy merchant family in the Zheng residence.

Using a concubine to suppress a wife is not something that ordinary people can do. It requires considerable skill.

And she did it, so she is definitely not an ordinary woman.

She keenly caught the strange look in Feng Xuan's eyes.

Men are a kind of strange animals. They are very combative and like to show off after winning a fight.

Others did not know the relationship between Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan, but Mrs. Zhao knew it and had guessed a little that Zheng Chuan's death must have something to do with this uncle.

Maybe he was the one pushing this behind the scenes.

After a man defeats another man, he will want to completely possess everything of the other man in order to achieve spiritual transcendence.

Women are the worst offenders.

Just think about it, your mortal enemy's woman is enjoying herself under you, begging for mercy in pain. By the way, think about how painful and devastated this damn enemy would be if he saw this scene...

This kind of pleasure goes straight to the soul.

And this is not a bad thing for women.

This is a patriarchal society. Women are dependent on men. Since they are dependent, they must seize every opportunity. When the other party is torturing themselves for happiness, isn't it also an opportunity for themselves?
Mrs. Zhao was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for her. I looked up at Feng Xuan, and the two of them looked at each other. The woman's eyes seemed to be able to draw silk, seducing the man.

Zhao Xun's heart was moved...

"Thank you, uncle."

"No, no, sister-in-law, my second brother is gone. If you have any difficulties at home, please come to me. I will definitely take good care of you and your family."

"Thank you, uncle."

Mrs. Zhao thanked him repeatedly. Zhao Xun then let go of Mrs. Zhao's arm and turned to look at Peng Shizhong. His performance was not over yet.

At this time, he came directly to Peng Shizhong crying and said, "Foster father, please accept my condolences. I just took a wrong step. I think I have repented, but it's too late."

Peng Shizhong looked at Feng Xuan and said, "Oh, that's enough, Boss, stop crying."

"Yes, but I can't help it. Thinking back to the past, you brought me and the second child up. We were so happy back then, but now we are separated forever. I am heartbroken."

Peng Shizhong also had tears in his eyes, but he still said, "He brought this upon himself. He deserves it."

"Godfather, my second brother was also confused for a moment. Sigh~ You should give him a chance."

Feng Xuan said with tears in his eyes.

Chen Jie was listening at the side, squinting his eyes. This Feng Xuan was really a sinister guy. He had hurt others and now he was acting as a sympathizer.

Thinking of this, Feng Xuan turned his head and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Hey, Lao Wu, don't think too much. I'm not talking about you. I heard from Uncle Fu about the situation at that time. The situation was critical and you had no choice. It's just that I feel sorry for Lao Er."

Feng Xuan turned to Chen Jie and said.

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Big brother and second brother have a deep brotherly love, I know that, but the person is already dead, big brother, please accept my condolences."

"Hey, what Fifth Brother said is true. I just feel sorry for my brother. You don't know how difficult it is for him..."

Chen Jie laughed along. Even though he knew Feng Xuan was talking nonsense, he still laughed along. This is how the world is. Hypocrisy is a necessary social tactic.

Lu Rong cried at this time: "Although Second Brother has brought this upon himself, we are brothers after all. Big Brother is expressing his true feelings, and Fifth Brother was forced by the situation. Let's not talk about this, let's just get this funeral done first."

"Godfather, are the second and fourth sons buried together?"

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, "Well, let's be buried together."

"When will the coffin be sealed?"

Peng Shizhong said: "Don't worry, wait for someone."

"Who else?"

Lu Rong asked, and Peng Shizhong said: "The person who decides whether Lao Er can be buried safely is also the person who decides whether his family can survive."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Zheng Chuan's family.

At this time, the rest of the Zheng family members were huddled together in fear, and only Mrs. Zheng was pretending to remain calm.

Sure enough, at this moment, Zhou Chu shouted from outside: "Commander Qimuge is here!"

With a shout, Qimugege led a group of black-armored guards into the White Tiger Hall, with Zhou Chu leading the way.

Peng Shizhong saw Qimuge coming and went to greet him. Chen Jie, Feng Xuan, and Lu Rong followed behind. Qimuge came forward and clasped his fists with Peng Shizhong: "Master Peng."

"Lord Commander."

Qimuge asked, "Where is the prisoner?"

Peng Shizhong said: "In the coffin."

Qimuge walked over, looked at the person in the coffin, waved his hand and told the black-armored guard beside him, "Remember this, and verify his identity."

Then Qimuge asked: "Where is the evidence?"

Peng Fu immediately brought over a tray containing the accounts receivable and payable and Wang Dafa's confession.

Qimuge asked, "Have you captured the Zoroastrian demon?"

Peng Shizhong said: "The building has been empty for a long time. It seems that they move to a new location after completing a transaction."

After hearing this, Qimuge asked, "Where's the payment?"

Peng Shizhong said, "The 100,000 taels of silver seized from the Zheng residence have all been sealed. As for the remaining silver, I will pay for him."

Qimuge waved his hand and said, "No need. The Lord said that Hall Master Peng has made great contributions to the court, so we will not pursue it any further."

"Thank you, Commander. Oh, I have one more favor to ask of you. What about my useless son's family?"

Qimuge said: "The Lord has ordered that only the main culprit be executed, the debt be paid, and the burial be allowed, and no wife or children be pursued."

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Peng Shizhong immediately bowed.

Chen Jie and others also bowed and followed suit.

Qimuge said, "Don't worry about it. My work is done and I won't stay any longer."

Peng Shizhong said: "The banquet has been prepared."

Qimugege said, "No need. The adults are waiting for my report. Goodbye." Seeing the people from the Darughachi Mansion leave, Peng Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief, and Zheng Chuan's family also breathed a sigh of relief that their lives were saved.

What follows is the normal funeral procession.

Once everything was done, the meal began.

When all the dishes were served, Peng Shizhong stood up and said, "Everyone, I have something to announce. Although Zheng Chuan is dead, the affairs of Yongchang Street cannot be left unattended. Jiusi."

"exist."

"You have made great contributions in the arrest of Zheng Chuan this time. Yongchang Street will be under your management from now on. You don't have to interfere with all the business operations. You just need to pay a tax of 1,000 taels of silver every month."

"In addition, all the troops that were previously affiliated with Yongchang Street will be under your jurisdiction."

boom!
After hearing this, almost everyone was shocked, and at this time, everyone looked at Chen Jie.

Peng Shizhong meant that Chen Jie should fully accept Zheng Chuan's previous legacy and replace Zheng Chuan.

Even though Peng Shizhong appointed Chen Jie to take over the management of Baihu Hall yesterday, that is just a title. In fact, there is very little he can do.

Because Peng Shizhong did not take away the power of the eldest or second-in-command, especially the people, and gave them to Chen Jie.

In other words, there are very few people that Chen Jie can use.

It looks very glorious, but in fact it is equivalent to being sidelined. But now it is different. Chen Jie has completely accepted the foundation left by Zheng Chuan.

In other words, Chen Jie can completely manage all the businesses in Yongchang Street. It doesn't matter how much money is earned, as long as the taxes are paid on time. What is this? This is financial power.

Then there are the more than 200 subordinates of Zheng Chuan.

These younger brothers were also directly given to Chen Jie. It was true that Chen Jie could not accept all of them unchanged, but after his transformation, it would be no problem for him to train one hundred and fifty or sixty loyal subordinates.

This is a real right, not an empty one.

It can be said that Chen Jie had only been on the stage before.

With this decision today, Chen Jie has completely become the chess player in this game.

He can compete directly with Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan's face turned pale at this time. He didn't expect that his adoptive father would give all of Zheng Chuan's inheritance to Chen Jie.

He thought that his adoptive father would at least divide it fairly, letting him get Zheng Chuan's subordinates, or all of Zheng Chuan's property.

But now, Chen Jie has inherited all of Zheng Chuan's industries, and is nominally in charge of the entire Baihu Hall. This is a complete burden on his head.

It's true that Zheng Chuan left and Chen Jiusi came.

When a vicious wolf leaves, a fierce tiger comes.

Feng Xuan felt so pitiful. How could he have such a godfather? He was too biased.

After Peng Shizhong finished his announcement, he turned to Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, it is not appropriate for you to live in the big vegetable market with your current status. The mansion of the second brother has been vacated, so you can move there. In addition, Peng Fu went to the pawnshop to select a group of maids and servants for you."

"When the time comes, you can ask your family to take good care of you. Also, if your family needs anything, tell Peng Fu and the hall will give you money to buy it."

"Ah, godfather, this is going to cost a lot of money."

Chen Jie spoke, and Peng Shizhong said, "Bear it. Your current status is different from before. As the manager of our White Tiger Hall, it is impossible for me to live in a small courtyard. Otherwise, what will the gang members think?"

Chen Jie understood what Peng Shizhong meant.

Sometimes the upper class has a good living standard, which is instructive and is specifically for the subordinates to see.

For example, Chen Jie.

You are now second only to one person in the White Tiger Hall and above hundreds of people. You can't still live in a small house.

Otherwise, how will the gang members view you? Even if you work hard for the gang, it's useless to get promoted. You'll still be living a poor life, no different from us.

This is wrong.

You need to let the gang members see that when you get promoted, your treatment will be different. You will be able to live in a big house, have countless maids and servants serving you, and live a life of luxury. This is what they need to pursue, and only then will they work hard for the gang!

Chen Jie knew what Peng Shizhong meant and did not refuse, "Yes, godfather, I understand."

Peng Shizhong said: "You guys continue to eat and drink, I feel a little uncomfortable, I'm going to rest first."

Peng Shizhong left, and Peng Fu followed him. A group of people immediately came up to toast Chen Jie. Chen Jie is now a very popular figure in Baihu Hall. The Second Master did not have such favor back then.

Therefore, the gang members immediately came to toast, and some of Zheng Chuan’s former subordinates also came to pledge their loyalty.

Chen Jie responded one by one.

Feng Xuan watched this scene with a smile on his face, not showing any displeasure. He even took the initiative to stand up and toast Chen Jie with a glass of wine, saying, "Fifth brother, come here, I'll toast you a glass."

"Ah, brother, you are too polite. I should be the one toasting you."

Chen Jie was also hypocritically polite. The two of them laughed, clinked glasses, and drank them all in one gulp.

"Cough cough..."

After drinking, Feng Xuan coughed twice deliberately and said, "Fifth brother, my injury hasn't healed yet, so I won't stay any longer. You guys drink, I'll leave first."

"Ah, brother, have a couple more drinks. The brothers all want to get closer to you."

"Ahem, no, no, I'm not feeling well."

Feng Xuan said this, and then turned to leave. Chen Jie said, "Brother, I'll take you there."

"No, no."

Feng Xuan waved his hand and left Baihu Hall.

This matter happened in Baihu Hall.

Peng Fu looked at Peng Shizhong and said, "Master, what happened today was too reckless. I'm afraid you will feel resentful if you treat me like this."

"Ahem... He, he still has complaints. Why didn't I give him a share of the second brother's inheritance? Didn't he know what was going on? How did the second brother die? Does he dare to say that it had nothing to do with him? Ahem..."

"I won't give him any. I just want to tell him that I know everything he did. If I want to investigate, he can escape. Ahem…"

"Is he still thinking about the second brother's inheritance? No, not at all!"

Peng Fu heard this and said, “Master, the fact that the Second Master was involved in this matter is just a guess.”

Peng Shizhong continued to cough: "Ahem...guess, ahem...I know him too well. He has been calculating since he was a child. I thought he would be better when he grows up, but I didn't expect that he would even calculate against his brothers. I want to teach him a lesson, ahem..."

"Yes, sir, please drink some ginseng soup. Your body cannot afford to get angry again."

Peng Shizhong said: "I don't want to either, but I won't get angry. They are not something that can make people worry-free."

Peng Shizhong smiled bitterly, took a sip of ginseng soup, turned to look at Peng Fu and said, "Sometimes I really want to just ignore everything and have a good rest. I'll leave all the affairs of the martial arts world to these young people."

Peng Fu said: "That's not a bad idea."

Peng Shizhong said: "But who can take on this important task? Do you think Lao Wuxing can do it?"

Peng Fu said: "Fifth Master, your methods and abilities are all sufficient, but your foundation is still weak and needs some time to be polished."

"But it's a good opportunity to see what Master Wu is capable of. You don't need to worry about it these days. Just take a good rest. By the way, in seven days, Miss Huadie will perform at the Chunfeng Opera House. Master, you can go and relax."

"Hua Die? That's good. I haven't seen him for a long time."

As Peng Shizhong spoke, a smile appeared on his face.

Peng Shizhong didn't like listening to opera, but he liked watching Hua Die perform. Whenever Hua Die performed, he would go to support her and spend a lot of money without any regret.

The reason is simple, this flower and butterfly looks like an old friend.

That is his junior sister.

Because of that incident, he reported Nan Batian, which resulted in Nan Batian being beaten with three knives and six holes by the old gang leader for violating gang rules.

At that time, the junior sister couldn't bear it because the incident was caused by her.

Nan Batian caused such a terrible disaster because of her, so the little junior sister committed suicide at the young age.

Because of the suicide of his junior sister, when the master was executing Nan Batian with three swords and six holes, he had an affair with her, and Nan Batian was able to survive.

Because of this incident, he and Nan Batian broke off completely and became enemies.

In the past, the three of them were as close as siblings.

And he has always had a crush on his junior sister.

Because of that incident, Peng Shizhong felt guilty for his entire life and never married or had children. This could be considered a punishment for himself.

Just half a year ago, he accidentally went to Chunfeng Theater for a social event and saw Huadie being insulted by the big stars backstage.

He looked twice more, and this time he actually saw Junior Sister. Junior Sister looked the same when she was scolded by the Master before.

And this Huadie really looks exactly like Junior Sister, extremely similar.

From then on, Peng Shizhong, who used to dislike listening to operas, started watching operas and spent a huge amount of money to support this beautiful girl.

From an unknown minor role, Peng Shizhong promoted her to the top Qingyi in Chunfeng Theater.

Really big horn.

"Well, you make the arrangements and prepare some golden beans. I will go see her."

Peng Fu said, “Yes.”

In this era, the audience's means of supporting actors were very simple. Apart from bringing people to support them, they would give crazy rewards. In this era, rewards did not involve sending rockets, but directly throwing silver or gold onto the stage.

And Peng Shizhong would always throw handfuls of golden beans to praise this beautiful girl.

……

Snapped!
In the secret room of Feng Xuan's mansion, Feng Xuan broke a stone tablet with one palm and said angrily, "Old villain, you are bullying me too much!"

Fa Cai, who was following behind him, said, "Master, calm down."

Feng Xuan said: "How can I calm down? The twenty years of friendship between him and me cannot compare to the few months of friendship between Chen Jiusi and me. What is this? What is this? What does he think of me?"

"When the second brother was here, he favored him. When Chen Jiusi came, he favored Chen Jiusi. He didn't treat me as his adopted son!"

"Master, be careful with your words."

Fa Cai reminded.

"What are you talking about? Am I wrong? Am I wrong?"

Feng Xuan was venting his anger madly, and then he slammed his palm hard again, breaking a piece of the stone tablet.

If Chen Jie was here, he would definitely be surprised to find that he was using the famous [Brick Opening Hand].

You know, Peng Shizhong never passed on the [Brick Opening Hand] to him.

"Haha... Sure enough, what he said was right. The so-called deep love between father and son is all a lie. He would rather pass the [Brick Opener] to Chen Jiusi than to me. He never treated me as his son. He just treated me as a tool!"

"I am his tool!"

Feng Xuan roared madly, venting his anger for a long time.

Feng Xuan was lying on the ground with his face up, and he said with a crazy look on his face: "If you don't give it to me, don't give it to me, hehe... If you don't give it to me, I will take it myself. If [Brick Opening Hand] doesn't teach me, someone will teach me. If White Tiger Hall doesn't give it to me, someone will help me take it. Peng Shizhong, from now on, you and I are irreconcilable! We will not stop until we die... We will not stop until we die!"

"grandfather."

Fa Cai was standing nearby and was terrified when he heard this. Feng Xuan said, "Go to Luoguxiang tonight. There is a shoe repairman there. Tell him: [Sui Yang killed the emperor, so he was able to ascend the throne. I want to follow his example.]"

"Ah! This, Master!"

"Go, go..."

Feng Xuan waved his hand and said angrily. After hearing this, Fa Cai hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

Turn around and leave.

After Fa Cai left, Feng Xuan looked at the sky and said, "Haha, you will never get ahead in my life, you will never get ahead in my life!"

Feng Xuan roared angrily!

The sound echoed in the secret room!
……

Chen Jie drank with everyone until the afternoon. As it was getting dark, Chen Jie stood up and said goodbye.

He told everyone that he was going home, but in fact he secretly rode his horse out of the city and headed straight for the outside of the city.

He didn't want to be seen leaving the city, so he left early to reduce the possibility of arousing suspicion.

After leaving the city, Chen Jie found a secluded place, sat cross-legged, and waited for dark.

After waiting for about an hour, it was getting dark and Chen Jie headed towards Jixiang Temple.

When he got closer, Chen Jie tied up the horse at a distance, and then jumped into Jixiang Temple alone under the moonlight.

At this time, food was being served in the nunnery.

Nuns of all ages held their own alms bowls and lined up to get their meals. However, there was a private seat not far away where a beautiful and charming woman in a green monk's robe sat.

Her long black hair was draped over her back without being combed too much, making her look very relaxed.

He was holding a scroll of Buddhist scriptures in his hand, in front of him was a plate of cabbage and tofu, a plate of cold cucumber salad, and only half a bowl of rice in the bowl.

A maidservant was serving quietly at the side.

The woman was reading a Buddhist scripture while eating rice, and she hardly touched the dish in front of her.

He just stared at the scriptures and didn't put the book down.

"Is this Madam Huang so fond of studying?"

Chen Jie was very confused.

The maid looked at the sky and saw that the moonlight was not bright tonight, so she said, "Light the lamp!"

After hearing this, a nun immediately went to light the lamps. All the expenses of the temple were provided by Nan Batian, so when asked to light the lamps, they did it.

Chen Jie was hiding on the roof at this time. When he saw the other party was about to turn on the lamp, he was immediately frightened. It was too bright outside. Wouldn't he be exposed?
But there are so many houses down there, which one is Room No. 1?
Chen Jie looked around and saw Master Jingxiang coming out of a room. He wondered if this was the old nun's room. So he slipped along the roof and when he saw no one noticed him, he went straight into the old nun's room.

After coming in, Chen Jie began to look everywhere.

I saw that the old nun's room was full of scriptures, two wardrobes and a couch.

Chen Jie came to the scripture, looked through it, and then immediately restored it to its original state.

I opened the closet and saw some clothes inside.

No no.

Then he came to the couch, on which was a straw cushion. Chen Jie lifted the cushion to see if there was anything inside.

nor.

Where can it be hidden?
As Chen Jie was thinking about this, he suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the bed under the futon. He knocked on it, but it was empty.

Is there a secret compartment?
Chen Jie's eyes lit up, and he tried it immediately, and found a pull-out secret compartment, which he opened.

In an instant, he was stunned!
"Fuck~"

Chen Jie looked at the secret compartment in surprise, and saw that there were some strange wooden sticks inside. They were very smooth, realistic, and well-maintained, and it was obvious that they had been used.

Chen Jie didn't even dare to touch it, this...

I'm sorry to bother you, Master. I've discovered your damn secret.

Chen Jie quickly closed the secret compartment and then placed the cushion on it. You sit cross-legged and chant scriptures here every day. No wonder you were driven out of Emei. Your six senses are not pure.

However, he was not in the mood to care about the nun's private life. What he cared about more was what the secret book of Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms was!
Tread...  

Just when he was wondering, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. Chen Jie was startled and quickly jumped onto the beam.

Hide on it.

At this moment, the door creaked open and half of the nun's body came out.

At this time, a little nun suddenly came over and said, "Master, Room A needs hot water for bathing. Would you like to take a bath too?"

Hearing this, Master Shizuka said, "Oh, that's fine. By the way, the water temperature must be appropriate. Forget it, I'll go and check it out myself. Madam's affairs cannot be sloppy."

With that she left the room.

Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief: "Room A, could it be that this is not Room A, and the one where Madam Huang lives is Room A?"

After figuring this out, Chen Jie left immediately.

He didn't want to stay here any longer. The old nun would come back soon and take a bath and change clothes. It would be an eyesore if he stayed here alone.
Chen Jie immediately slipped out to confirm the direction.

Mrs. Huang's room, um, it should be here, I seem to have noticed it.

Chen Jie thought about it and slipped directly into Mrs. Huang's room. The room was very simple and elegant, with almost no extra furniture.

Chen Jie looked everywhere but found nothing.

At this moment, the door suddenly moved. Chen Jie was startled and flew directly onto the beam.

"Come on, put this tub here, all right, you guys can go down."

The maid sprinkled flower petals on the tub, reached out and shook the water in the tub, and found that the water temperature was just right, and immediately called out, "Madam, it's ready."

At this time, Huang Wan'er walked into the room slowly.

At this time, Chen Jie turned his head and looked at the pillar beside him. "Hey, what is this?"

Chen Jie moved his position and came directly to the top of the bathtub. At this time, Huang Wan'er came to the bathtub and reached out to gently stir the water in the bathtub. But just as her hand was about to touch the water, she was stunned, because in the reflection of the water, there was a man squatting on the beam.

Huang Wan'er was about to shout, but when she looked closely, she found that it was the protagonist of the Avici Hell that she had imagined last night, Chen Jiusi!

How could it be him!

Huang Wan'er remained calm.

At this time, Chen Jie's attention was not on the ground below, because he saw someone using internal force to forcibly stuff a bamboo tube into the wood of the beam.

"This is?"

Chen Jie reached out and grasped the bamboo tube.
