Chapter 258: Acting and Pretending
The first case Lu Xiaofeng appeared on was the "Jin Peng Dynasty Treasure Mystery Case".
Huo Xiu used Huo Tianqing and Shangguan Feiyan to kill King Jinpeng and Shangguan Danfeng, then lured Lu Xiaofeng to get rid of Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe, and finally used Huo Tianqing to take the blame to achieve his goal of monopolizing all the wealth.
Sure enough, my summary is still so insightful!
At this time, judging from the fact that Huo Tianqing has invited Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, the plot has reached the early and middle stages.
Lu Xiaofeng agreed to the fake Jinpeng King's invitation to help, confirmed that he was telling the truth, and also invited Ximen Chuixue to prepare to deal with Yan Tieshan, Dugu Yihe and Huo Xiu.
Their first stop was Yan Tieshan's Jewelry Pavilion!
…
Yan Tieshan is a rich man in Shanxi. The reputation of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion north of the Yellow River is no less than that of Hua Yuxuan in the south of the Yangtze River. Although one is tacky and the other is elegant, the fact that they can be called the same shows that they are equally wealthy.
It's just that Yan Tieshan is in the jewelry business, while Hua Yuxuan is famous for his jade calligraphy and painting.
The Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, which is famous for its jewelry, is naturally a nine-curved corridor, magnificent. The large manor has small bridges, flowing water, ponds with lotus fragrance, pavilions, green tiles and red pillars.
Before Su Shaoying met Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, she met Huo Tianqing and Ma Xingkong first.
Huo Tianqing, the general manager of Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion, the head of Tianqin Sect, and the uncle of Shan Xiyan, the hero of the Three Jin Dynasties, joined Yan Tieshan's sect as the general manager because his life was saved.
"Yunli Shenlong" Ma Xingkong, the chief bodyguard of the Shanxi Joint Security Bureau, was injured by Huo Tianqing with his air-splitting palm three years ago. Now his kung fu is only 50% at most.
"Mr. Su." Huo Tianqing looked at Su Shaoying with a hint of amusement in his eyes, but it didn't show it at all on his face. Instead, he laughed harmoniously, "Mr. Su also knows martial arts, and he must have heard of Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou. "
Seeing Huo Tianqing's gentle and powerful look, Su Shaoying also smiled.
Well, who doesn’t know how to act?
"I've heard of it." Su Shaoying smiled and said, "I heard that Lu Xiaofeng's two fingers can hold all the weapons in the world. Although Hua Manlou is blind, he can see more than ordinary people. These two are both in A very famous figure in the world."
At this time, his name was not Su Shaoying, but Su Shaoqing, and his identity was the teacher of the Yan family.
This was the arrangement of his master Dugu Yihe, and Yan Tieshan was very cooperative. Although the original person didn't know why he did this, he didn't get to the bottom of it.
Thinking about it now, it was probably to avoid suspicion. They were now figures at the top of the pyramid in the Central Plains martial arts world, and they did not want to expose their identities in the Jinpeng Dynasty and attract strange looks from outsiders.
After all, Yan Tieshan is in Shanxi and Dugu Yihe is in Sichuan. Logically speaking, the two of them should not know each other or have any friendship.
However, after the death of the original body and Yan Tieshan, Dugu Yihe appeared in the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion openly. Why is this?
Is it because he knows that the real culprit behind the scenes has already taken action, and there is no point in covering it up anymore?
Su Shaoying was just thinking when she heard Ma Xingkong smile flatteringly, "Hua Manlou is just a blind man, and no matter how smart Lu Xiaofeng's fingers are, can he still use those two fingers to pinch the wind of Manager Huo's palm?"
Huo Tianqing smiled indifferently and shook his head seemingly modestly, but everyone could see the confidence in his eyes.
"I'll go to the gate to greet the guests. Please take your seats first," Huo Tianqing said.
…
Su Shaoying and Ma Xingkong first went to the water pavilion in the center of the pond, and they soon waited for the guests.
Huo Tianqing walked in front, followed by two young men in brocade clothes.
The person on the left has a careless smile on his lips and his eyes are lively.
The person on the right has an elegant figure and walks calmly, as if he is walking in the garden and woods.
Of course they are Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou.
In fact, Huo Tianqing met Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou for the first time today, but he is someone who can make friends with others immediately, so it seems that he is already very familiar with them.
"This is Mr. Su Shaoqing, the teacher of the Yan family, and this is Ma Xingkong, the dragon in the clouds. Mr. Lu and Mr. Hua must both know each other," Huo Tianqing said.
Lu Xiaofeng had met Ma Xingkong, but he was very curious about Su Shaoying, "You were staring at me as soon as I came in. What's so good about me?"
"I'm looking for your other two eyebrows." Su Shaoying smiled harmlessly, "I've always heard people say that Lu Xiaofeng has four eyebrows. I'm very curious. Can I ask where your other two eyebrows are? ?”
Lu Xiaofeng's smile suddenly stiffened.
He has always been proud of his four eyebrows, but this time in order to invite Ximen Chuixue, he had to shave off the two on his lips. At this time, the green stubble had just grown and had not yet reached the stage of appearance. When it looks like eyebrows.
Hua Manlou, who was standing next to Lu Xiaofeng, smiled. Huo Tianqing was not an annoying person. He didn't expect that there was another very interesting young man here.
"Please take a seat."
Huo Tianqing asked Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou to sit down, and then the waiter served tea.
"This is this year's Mingqian Longjing. It has been specially sent from Suzhou and Hangzhou. Let's try it to see if the tea shop is substandard." Huo Tianqing personally poured water for several people.
Ma Xingkong hurriedly clasped his fingers on the table and said repeatedly, "That tea shop is so bold that it dares to send fake goods. It doesn't even require Manager Huo to take action. I, Ma Xingkong, will take people to smash their signboard!"
Su Shaoying raised the cup and sniffed it, then took a sip, and with a sip of his tongue, he knew that this was indeed the newly produced Mingqian Longjing this year.
There was no way, whether it was Yihua Palace or Jiang Family Courtyard, there was no shortage of this kind of good tea.
But he didn't say anything, because Hua Manlou had already said, "It is indeed the newly picked Mingqian Longjing this year, and it is the first-class Longjing produced by Suzhou and Hangzhou Yunwu Tea House."
Ma Xingkong couldn't help asking, "How do you know?"
Hua Manlou said lightly, "Because Yunwu Tea House is my family's industry."
Of course he wouldn't let Ma Xingkong smash the signboard of his own industry.
Ma Xingkong didn't say anything. He was not deaf. Of course, he had heard of the Hua family, the largest landlord in Jiangnan, and at this time he naturally knew that Hua Manlou was a member of the Hua family.
"I heard that the first-class Longjing produced by Yunwu Tea House is only a few hundred kilograms a year. Those who can drink it are either nobles or wealthy businessmen. Manager Huo is worthy of being Manager Huo. I, Old Ma, can buy this first-class Longjing. I am lucky today." Ma Xingkong said.
He flattered two people with one sentence. Ma Xingkong is worthy of being Ma Xingkong.
"Longjing is the best green tea, and Yipin Mingqian is the best Longjing." Su Shaoying smiled, "It is sweet and soft, fragrant in the mouth, and has gone through at least 18 tea-making processes. When frying green tea, no more than one or two grams of tea are put into the pot at a time. The masters are the ones who control the heat."
Hua Manlou raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect Mr. Su to be an expert in tea ceremony."
Su Shaoying smiled slightly and said lightly, "You will know after drinking more."
Pretending, who can't?
