Chapter 181 Two Swallows
Chapter 181 Two Swallows
After Liu Fugui left Yunhai Tower in the afternoon, he was in a state of high spirits. When he met familiar people, he started bragging about what he had seen and heard in Yunhai Tower.
In the story he described, Ye Xiaochuan, a disciple of the Cangyun Sect with an IOU, only used a few words in the understatement of Spring and Autumn. It mainly told about a peerless fairy who was more beautiful than the Tianxian'er. He lifted a hundred kilograms of fragrant wood table with one hand. It was thrown from Yunhai Tower to the Yangtze River, which was a distance of one or two hundred feet!
Then, the fat man started frothing at the mouth and said that the beautiful fairy not only said a few words to him when he left, but also patted his shoulder affectionately.
In the envious eyes of countless people, he decided to enshrine the clothes he wore as if they were his ancestors, and anyone who touched his legs would get a discount!
No, he really broke the leg of a person, a tenant who rented thirty acres of farmland from his family. In this lean March day, this hateful tenant still owed last year's land rent. What does the drought last summer have to do with you? What does the flood last autumn have to do with you?
The landlord’s family is also short of food!
So, he broke the tenant's legs and asked the tenant to deliver his long-coveted daughter Xiaohua to his house.
Thinking of the little flower, Liu Fugui couldn't keep quiet. Today, he was patted on the shoulder by the fairy. His little brother, who had been silent for ten years, started to become restless again. The tigress in his house was weak at first glance, and he was still a little flower girl. He looks very young and fresh. I saw him once when I was inspecting my property last year, and I will never forget it.
Looking at the little girl being escorted into the house by two servants, Liu Fugui smiled with only two rows of yellow teeth.
Yun Qiyou, Ning Xiangruo, and Yang Liudi almost walked out of Yunhai Tower together with Liu Fugui. Yun Qiyou was taken advantage of today. They couldn't turn a blind eye to Ye Xiaochuan, a shameless person who ruined the reputation of Cangyun Sect. Not only did he repay the one hundred and thirty taels of IOU left by Ye Xiaochuan, but he also paid for the fragrant wood table that Baili Yuan threw into the Yangtze River. The table was worth more than the meal, more than two hundred taels of silver.
It didn't matter that Yun Qiyou spent the money, but she couldn't bear it when she saw that the signature on the IOU left by Ye Xiaochuan was her own name.
There is almost no need to guess. The first deal that Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan made down the mountain must have fallen on Liu Fugui, who was as fat as a pig. This must be taken care of, and this guy's conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed.
Yun Qiyou and Ning Xiangruo found an inn in the east of the city and opened three rooms. Yang Liudi went to follow Liu Fugui to find out where the big landowner nicknamed Liu Dashanren lived.
As for the boring job of monitoring people, Yang Liudi actually enjoyed it very much. It seemed that he had been lonely on Cangyun Mountain for too long in the past few decades.
At dusk, Yang Liudi came to the inn. As soon as they met, he drank half a pot of herbal tea, and then began to curse: "What Liu Dashan! That fat man is simply Liu Bapi! He has thousands of acres of fertile land and many shops. The industry, especially the silk industry, is huge, and with so much money, he is still so shameless! After following him for a long time, I wanted to sneak into his house tonight and cut off his head!"
Ning Xiangruo said: "How could this be? When I was at Yunhai Tower, didn't I hear that he often contributed money to repair bridges and roads?"
Yang Liudi said: "If you do too many bad things, you must accumulate evil virtue. Let me tell you, this Liu Bapi is simply not a human being..."
She briefly talked to Ning Xiangruo and Yun Qiyou about what she saw and heard following Liu Fugui. When she heard that the honest tenant's legs were being discounted and the tenant's daughter was raped, Ning Xiangruo, who had always had a mild temper, slapped the table on the spot. .
Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan were also plotting big things in the inn. It was impossible for these two shameless people with similar odors to get together and anything good would happen.
They were not as rich as Yun Qiyou, so they stayed in a small inn near the Liu Mansion. The inn room was on the second floor. As soon as they opened the door, they could see the brightly lit Liu Mansion not far away.
Bailiyuan stood at the window and took a look at Liu's house, and said: "Junior brother Ye, I heard that Fatty Liu is a rare good man in the city. He has done a lot of building bridges and roads. Are you sure he is a profiteer?" ?”
Ye Xiaochuan was lying on the table writing furiously. He raised his head and said, "How many times have I told you, from now on, call me Tao Xia Chuan. You are Tao Xia Kite. You have to love what you do."
Baili Yuan shrugged and said, "Okay, Young Master Chuan, we are doing justice for heaven and we must not harm good people."
Ye Xiaochuan was still drawing with a brush and said: "I have seen countless people, and I can't make a mistake. The fat man has a fat head, a big head, and a fat brain. He is followed by two fierce thugs. This kind of person is the legendary profiteer. He must have done a lot of bad things, so it's right to have him stabbed, and the painting is done..."
He cheered and blew the ink dry on the paper. Baili Yuan walked by and saw that they were two flying eagles.
She said: "At such an exciting moment, do you still have the heart to draw two eagles?"
The expression on Ye Xiaochuan's face froze slightly, and he said: "What two eagles, they are obviously two swallows! Look at how realistic the tails of these swallows are painted? I have no idea! You idiot!"
Baili Yuan recognized it for a long time, and then reluctantly recognized that the things Ye Xiaochuan painted might actually be swallows, but this painter was simply unflattering. He could paint the light swallows into two soaring goshawks. This There is no one left.
Ye Xiaochuan also felt that his painting style was a bit disgusting, and said: "There is nothing you can do, just make do with it."
Baili Yuan said: "Why did you draw two swallows?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Mark! Since we two are planning to make a name for ourselves in the world, we naturally need a unique mark. We are doing the job of climbing walls and flying over rooftops. After thinking about it, I think swallows are more in line with the nature of our work. It is perfect to use swallows as marks. For example, the lone thief Yizhimei, this plum blossom is his mark."
Bai Liyuan thought it made sense and said: "That's what you said, but the swallows you drew are too disgusting, let me do it."
Bai Liyuan painted with his bare hands, and a moment later, two swallows playing in the air appeared on the paper, very realistic.
Ye Xiaochuan was astonished. He looked at the two swallows he had drawn and immediately tore them to pieces. He said, "I didn't expect you to have such a talent. You are not a thief. You can support yourself by drawing for others!" Baili Yuan showed a proud look on his face and said, "My master is a master of painting with a brilliant brush. I have been around her since I was a child and have learned a little bit. I am far behind my master. I heard that decades ago, my master also drew a picture of the rising sun in the East China Sea and gave it to your master. It is worth a million gold!" Ye Xiaochuan thought about it and then said awkwardly, "It seems to be the case. But I heard that my master sold it to Uncle Yunhe for 800 taels of silver to buy wine after receiving it. Now the picture of the rising sun is hanging in Uncle Yunhe's room."
