Taiping Inn

When I walked past the bluestone road and walked near the manor, I could see a black-bottomed plaque hanging on the gate, with four big words "Lingxiu Villa" written on it. Li Xuandu's calligraphy is not very good, but It can also be seen that these four characters are vigorous and elegant, and they exude a heroic spirit.

Next to the four big characters, there are four small characters "Xu Shisong's inscription".

Li Xuan pointed to four small characters and asked the little girl beside him, "Shuning, take a test, do you know who Xu Shisong is?"

Zhou Shuning thought for a while and replied, "I heard from my father that it seems to be a great hero in resisting the Jin Horde during the reign of Emperor Shizong."

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "That's right, Xu Gong is a hero who resists foreign captives. He has served as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of War. Among the four ministers of Gushi, Xu Ge Lao is his son and nephew. This Lingxiu Villa can be passed by Xu. I think there is something extraordinary about the inscriptions of the public."

Zhou Shuning nodded and immediately developed a lot of affection for this Lingxiu Villa.

Li Xuan even thought more deeply.

From Lingxiu Villa’s attitude towards Hu Liang to the plaque hanging in Lingxiu Villa, it shows the attitude of Jianghu towards the temple.

In fact, in the early years, Hu Liang did not have the title of "Northwest One Knife", but the "Northwest One Knife" with a very devilish look. It can be seen that although Hu Liang was not a great traitor at the time, he was also known as Not as good as good people. Of course, the Zifu Sword Immortal was also very famous at that time. It can be seen that when the two of them were rampant in the northwest Gobi Desert together, they were called the northwest double evil spirits.

However, after the battle of Emperor Beijing, the reputation of the two people in the world suddenly changed. Li Xuan didn't need to say more. The Sword Immortal of the Purple Palace was no longer the devil who attracted the heroes of Jiangbei to chase and kill him, but instead Yan Feiqing, Su Yunying and Yu Qingning are ranked as the four junior masters. These three are the best young heroes among the twelve sects of the righteous path. The Zifu Sword Immortal can rank in front of them, ranking among the four junior masters. The leader of the master shows the reputation of the world. Hu Liang changed from the original "Northwest Owl" to the current "Northwest One Knife". Even Hu Liang cut off the arm of the Qingluan Guard Governor with one knife during the battle of Chengtianmen, and there was also a "Hu Yidao". ”.

From this we can see that the world is far away, but it is definitely not about not interacting with the temple.

Li Xuan has caused countless enemies in Jiangbei. These enemies have more or less profound or shallow relationships with the twelve sects of the righteous path. As a person from the Butian Sect, Hu Liang is even more in the evil path in the eyes of the twelve sects of the righteous path. People, the two of them were recognized by the righteous people. In the final analysis, they were because they stood on the side of the four ministers and were not tolerated by the temple, but were highly regarded and praised by the world.

Now even Lingxiu Villa, far away in Jiuhe Prefecture, Luzhou, knows that the four ministers are loyal and kind, which shows how Jianghu is approaching the change of imperial capital to seize the palace. This is also the fundamental reason why the court did not investigate the four sects that supported Zhang Suqing and other four ministers, but the six sects that supported the empress dowager gradually became alienated from the empress dowager.

People's hearts are available.

Li Xuandu was not a rude man who was ignorant of the affairs of the court, especially during the time he spent with Zhang Suqing, he gradually understood what the height of the temple was, so his idea was not as simple as Hu Liang thought.

When Empress Dowager Xie killed someone and killed Zhang Suqing, she would also have to give him a crime of treason. If he became the invincible number one person in the world, he would kill him with one sword. In the imperial capital, the so-called Zhang Suqing's name of rebellion was confirmed, so Li Xuan thought about how to use the general trend of the people to rehabilitate Zhang Suqing and give him a name for his life and death.

After entering the villa, it was indeed a winding path. Wang Lie first invited three people to the main hall to have tea, and an old manager stood with him, and then he went to invite the owner of the house himself.

In fact, as Li Xuandu guessed, the foundation of the He family's ancestors established Lingxiu Villa was divided into two parts: north and south. Nanshan Garden was built on the Chaoyang side and was regarded as the gateway to the entire villa, but it was rarely visited. Beishan Garden is the back house of the villa. The construction here is quite exquisite and is not suitable for welcome guests from all directions, but it is suitable for living, staying away from the world, and calming your mind and nourishing your energy.

Wang Lie walked quickly along a pebbly path and soon came to a loft hidden in the trees. This was the study of the great manor He Jin. Although this great manor was born in a noble family, he was a literati. He is not interested in martial arts, and likes to dance and ink. After the old owner passed away, he naturally could not support the Lingxiu Villa, which was sunny and sunny. Therefore, this big owner, who was infected with too many literati temper, became more and more worried and depressed. He spent most of the day. Keep yourself in this study and ignore ordinary affairs.

In this way, the burden of dealing with the mundane affairs of the villa fell on Wang Lie, the owner of the third country. Before joining Lingxiu Villa, Wang Lie was a half-right and half-evil figure in the Luzhou River. I remember that he had once buried the double domineering with one hand at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain, blocking the road to save the orphans, and then killed 18 good players from the Water Dragon Gang with just one pair of flesh palms to kill the riverside. It was also a very good figure, but later he He was ambushed and killed by his enemies, and almost died. He was rescued by the old owner of the passing manor. In order to repay his great kindness, he joined Lingxiu Villa and worked hard for his own good. Before his death, the old owner knew that his son would not be the main task of the villa, so he promoted Wang Lie to the third owner. If this Lingxiu Villa is regarded as a small court, then Wang Lie is undoubtedly a minister of his life.

But the ministers are just taking care of their lives after all, and there is a difference between the king and the minister, so there are some things that the master should make a decision.

So he came here.

Wang Lie came outside the door and knocked gently. Soon, a decadent voice sounded inside the room, "Come in."

Wang Lie pushed the door open and entered. The house was divided into two rooms, the outer room was a study, and the inner room was a place for rest. Although there were not many conspicuous antiques, in terms of the family's wealth and background, it was not inferior to those of the scholarly families.

After all, Lingxiu Villa was a legacy of hundreds of years, and it was once glorious. In the early years when it was at its peak, there were masters of the Xiantian realm in the villa, and the social circle was even more extensive. It was evident that Xu Shisong could write the plaque himself. Even though it is in decline now, the foundation is still there. Not only is there money accumulated over the years, but there are also various industries. Take Jiuhe Mansion for example. There are more than a dozen industries under the name of Lingxiu Villa, including pawnshops, money houses, printing houses, gambling houses, drug stores, porcelain shops, antique shops, bookstores, brothels, grain stores, restaurants, blacksmith shops, etc. There are two He's mansions in the city, more than a thousand acres of fertile land outside the city, two farms, and more than a hundred tenants. Therefore, there is never a shortage of gold and silver.

However, the big owner of Lingxiu Villa may not know how much wealth there is in the major banks and bill houses, but he should ask the second owner who is in charge of money. Speaking of the second owner, he can be said to be the accountant of the entire Lingxiu Villa. In the words of the people in the villa, the He family's huge family business, gold and silver mountains, seven or eight accountants can't calculate it clearly, but it is this second owner who has an iron abacus and calculates the huge villa foundation clearly, without any error, and all kinds of business are also in order. He is really like the God of Wealth.

However, the second owner does not participate in the disputes in the villa, so he rarely shows up in such matters.

At this time, there was only a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk in the study. He looked handsome, but he was listless and in poor spirits. There was a cup of tea at hand, which I think was used to refresh his mind.

This person was He Jin, the big owner of Lingxiu Villa. Compared to the second owner who had to spend money like water on his ten fingers, or the third owner who had once made a name for himself in the martial arts world, this big owner was really inconspicuous. Although he had changed from the young owner to the current big owner, if you think about it carefully, he seemed to be no different from the young owner at that time.

This reminded Wang Lie of the scene when the old owner was still alive. Although the biggest regret of the old owner in his life was that he had not been able to step into the Xiantian realm, he never lost his will because of it. Even after being seriously injured by Chen Guhong, he still stayed on the sickbed and made arrangements for his afterlife. How could the current big owner be so depressed and dejected? He was in his prime, but he looked even more decadent than the old owner.
