The governance of Xu Du is basically in the hands of the local family, headed by the Gao family, the lord of the city. In addition to the administration of Xu Du, the Gao family also has its own family business and business, which are all taken care of by the second young master Gao Ruxin.

Sitting in this seat, socializing with various forces is indispensable, and an invitation from the Wen family allowed him to make time to go to Changchun Pavilion for an appointment.

In the Changchun Pavilion, the wine, vegetables, fish and meat have been gathered, the banquet can be called sumptuous, the amber daughter red, full of jasper cup, the reflected candlelight, like the bright moon in the cup, reflected in the wine.

Wen Quzhi smiled, in this banquet, he was not only the protagonist, but also an irrelevant idler, after all, with the number of enemies of his family, it was impossible for others to know that the head of the Wen family was close to Xudu, if this news spread, even allies might be willing to be assassins.

Therefore, he hid his identity and handed over the negotiation work to Wen Xihong, who had a relationship with the Gao family for a long time......

"Brother Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time, why didn't you say hello when you came? ”

"Haha, the senior brother is too polite, the younger brother has just arrived, and he is so busy that he is dizzy, and finally has time, so he immediately booked Changchun Pavilion and came to tell the senior brother that he was drunk...... Come on, brother, you must not get drunk tonight. ”

Wen Xihong raised his glass to dry first, and after drinking, he turned the wine glass upside down to show that there was no remaining drop, and he was sincere, and introduced Gao Ruxin to a young man next to him.

"This is the second young man of the Gao family, Xu Du has the final say in the Gao family for nearly two hundred years, the head of the family, Lord Gao, has been named Cheng Zhengbo, although the new brother is the second son, he has taken over most of the Gao family's business, young and handsome, is a great figure. ”

Wen Quzhi already knew about these information, but he still cooperated and asked: "The second son is really talented, but ...... Why did the eldest son of the Gao family ......"

Gao Ruxin smiled slightly, and said: "My brother is obsessed with martial arts, and he will inherit the title in the future and become the head of the Gao family. ”

Wen Xihong said: "Good teacher Junyan, you know, the Gao family is as high as the highest, the teacher is the Fengdao Alliance, and he is a very famous star list master, and his future is unlimited, how can he care about this business." ”

"Star list master?"

For the sake of the atmosphere, Wen Quzhi screamed silently, looking frightened, giving Zugao as a new face.

The impact of the Great War of the Hundred Clans on the human race is that the style of martial arts is flourishing, as long as it is still an individual and the limbs are sound, it is necessary to learn a few martial arts, and those who can have outstanding performance in martial arts are highly valued by all parties, and the pinnacle of this situation is the three lists of the sun, moon and stars.

The sun, moon, and star lists are the three lists specially arranged by the empire during the Great War of the Hundred Clans for the strength of the warriors of all parties. After the war, this matter was also retained, and it was updated once a month, with three lists, one list was stronger than the other, but after the war, there were few peak strongmen on the daily list, and it didn't mean much.

The star list is mainly for the newly rising young people, the quota is one hundred, it is the most dynamic list of the three lists, although it is far less than the strong man on the daily list and the monthly list, but it is not something that can be easily followed, countless junjie are vying to squeeze their heads to get on the top, and all factions are concentrating resources to help the new generation rush to the list, as long as they can be on the star list, they will make a big profit, it can be said that everyone who can be on the star list is a master who should not be underestimated.

The Sealing Knife Alliance is one of the eight gates, Gao Rujin worships the Sealing Knife Alliance, and can squeeze into the star list, he is an important person who bears the expectations of the two parties, the resources of the Gao family and the Sealing Knife Alliance must be inclined to him, and his existence is also equivalent to the friendly alliance of the two families, and those who want to provoke the Gao family cannot ignore the behemoth of the Sealing Knife Alliance.

“...... Although my brother is diligent, he is only new to the star list, and there is still a long way to go, and Brother Wen and Brother Jia are too famous. ”

Gao Ruxin's face bloomed with joy, but he was curious in his heart, Wen Xihong invited himself to the banquet, but he brought unrelated people, this person's identity is probably not simple, and what is even more strange is that this person has no qi on his body, does he not even have a little force?

After the end of the Great War of the Hundred Tribes, the style of martial arts is very strong, everyone pursues martial arts, the characters with heads and faces will have a few martial arts, and those who have no power to restrain the chicken will only be looked down upon, if this person really has a background, how can he not have any force at all?

"I haven't consulted yet, this is ......"

"Below is Xihong's friend, Jia Junyan, who works as a broker. Wen Quzhi said with a smile: "I heard that the big and small things in Xu Du are all the masters of the Gao family, and the auctions to be held in the black market recently, the goods inside, Brother Gao must know a thing or two." ”

"This ......"

Gao Ruxin's face was embarrassed, the dark market in Xudu was ostensibly controlled by local gangsters, but in fact, without the permission of the Gao family, which gangster could survive in Xudu?

This kind of thing is naturally not easy to admit to face-to-face, but the other party is not the kind of perfunctory with scenes, and he intends to make friends, if he pretends to be stupid on this topic, the atmosphere will be embarrassing......

Gao Ruxin's hesitation, Wen Quzhi saw through it at a glance, and glanced at Wen Xihong, who immediately cooperated, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, my friend, a big man on behalf of the county, specializes in traveling around and buying treasures, this time I heard that Xu Dubao came here, I said that it is best to find out the news from you first, if it is just a gimmick, there is no need to waste time to adjust the money." ”

“...... I see. ”

Gao Ruxin was immediately relieved, like those top big families and big sects, there are indeed special purchasers, who travel all over the world, and some brokers take the initiative to search for treasures everywhere and find out the news, so they will send the information back to the one or those employers behind them, and take money from the employers to shoot on their behalf, if this surnamed Jia is a full-time broker, it is normal to inquire about this.

"Speaking of tomorrow night's auction, what can attract the attention of the two of you is the Nine Yin Fragments, right?" Gao Ruxin smiled bitterly: "I originally thought it was a gimmick made by the merchant himself, but I didn't take it seriously...... That fragment, it's hard to say whether it's true or not, I also think that if it's genuine, take it to the county capitals or imperial capitals, and the amount earned must be many times more than here, there is no reason to come to this auction, but ...... It's really not a gangster homemade, but a consignment by others. ”

"Consignment?" Wen Quzhi smiled slightly, "What kind of consignment is it, and where does it come from?"

"I can't tell you the details, but it was commissioned by a thief. ”

Gao Ruxin talked about this strange incident, it was more than a month ago in the early morning, someone was lying at the door of the auction, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, said that it was the secret of Jiuyin, and wanted to consign, and he died after speaking.

“...... After the autopsy of the gangster, it was found that he had died of poisoning, and his identity was also found out, and it was the famous ghost outside the city of Xudu......

"Situ is not empty, is he, is he...... He's dead?"

Wen Quzhi was quite surprised, and Wen Xihong, who was also shocked next to him, knew very well why the head of the family had this expression.

Situ Bukong is a well-known thief on the road, the reason why he is nicknamed "Ghost Sees Sorrow" is not that he has any amazing art industry, but that this person specializes in digging graves and robbing tombs, and he is also worried when he sees ghosts, if the person who sent it to auction is really him, then it is reasonable to infer that he found something in the process of robbing the tomb, but he was also highly poisoned, and he sent things with his last breath, but unfortunately died of poison......

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are other accomplices, who distribute the spoils unevenly so that they do it, or they are seriously injured, and after the auction of the consignment, they may be processed and killed by the gang or the Gao family.

This information doesn't mean much to others, but it's enough for Wen Quai, he nodded, and Gao Ruxin also looked regretful, saying that if he had known that a friend was interested, he would have tried to transcribe the fragment before and forward it as a gift, but now it's too late, it's a pity.

Impossible to achieve polite words, naturally no one will take it seriously, Gao Ruxin was very interested in Wen Quai, and took the opportunity to probe, "Brother Jia has a peculiar breath, I don't know which school and which faction is the master?"

"Haha, life in the world is not only martial arts. ”

Wen Quzhi smiled, took the initiative to stretch out his arm, and the pulse gate stretched out in front of Gao Ruxin, the unsuspecting movements, Gao Ruxin was shocked, after all, he couldn't help but be curious, and took his hand to probe the pulse, and after a probe, he was shocked.

"How, how so?"

Within reach, Gao Ruxin found that this person's meridians were broken inch by inch, not to mention that he couldn't practice martial arts, couldn't awaken his bloodline, and even should have been a dead man a long time ago.

“...... Are you surprised?" Wen Quzhi said with a smile: "Recently, the waste stream of divorce has been popular, just go with the flow, don't be surprised." ”

"Brother Jia is a master, unfathomable, admired, admired. ”

Gao Ruxin was shocked, looking at this Jia Junyan, like looking at a ghost, Wen Quzhi laughed, withdrew his arm, and began to persuade wine and ruffle, planning to mix up the dinner party like this, but unexpectedly, things changed again.

At first, Wen Xihong deliberately greeted Gao Ruxin's third brother and was brought by the other party with a wry smile, saying that he didn't know what the third brother Gao Ruhui was doing?

In the information that Wen read before he went to illness, this third young man of the Gao family, who has no ability of the eldest brother and second brother, is the famous Huahua Tai Sui of Xu Du, relying on the shade of the Gao family, he made up for an official vacancy, bullied men and women in the city, and caused a lot of controversy.

"Actually, I said, people are not romantic teenagers, the three young are nothing more than a little profligate, and it is not a big deal, those who are known to be self-righteous, I am most unaccustomed to this kind of face......"

Talking nonsense, Wen Xihong took advantage of the wine, showing the attitude of standing on the same front as the Gao family, Gao Ruxin was also quite moved, saying that those scholars had a false appearance, but in fact they did not abide by national laws and regulations, and played to bully the people.

“...... As Xu Du people, we don't want to do too much killing, the main thing is to deprive them of citizenship, sell them into slavery and prostitution, and leave them a chance to serve the country to reform, alas, this is also a ...... of virtue."

Gao Ruxin sighed and said: "Your business is for this business, this time you can just buy goods, pick some high-quality goods to go back, and fulfill their hearts for the country and the people." ”

"This is natural!"

Wen Xihong laughed out loud and raised his glass to toast, but his eyes glanced at the head of the family. The scene I saw at the city gate yesterday is now roughly answered, I wonder what he thinks?

Wen Quzhi was indifferent, and didn't seem to hear anything, but Gao Ruxin said, "Ah, I forgot to say, among those women, one of them has already been ordered, please don't make a move at that time, otherwise...... It's not fun to talk to yourself at any time. ”
