Chapter 207 Luoyang
In the Song Dynasty, in the city of Luoyang, Henan, Yuelai Inn.
A carriage was parked in front of the inn gate for a long time. The inn servants wanted to come forward to ask several times, but they were driven away by several tall men standing next to the carriage.
These men are all wearing strong clothes and long swords hanging around their waists. You can tell at a glance that they all have martial arts skills and are very difficult to mess with.
But the carriage stuck in front of the door will definitely delay business.
The guy had no choice but to go to the inn and report the situation to the shopkeeper.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out.
He heard from the guy that he knew that the man and others were not allowed to get close to the carriage.
So after coming out, he didn't step forward and stood at the door and bowed to the bearded man in charge.
The bearded was ignored, but the shopkeeper kept asking for help and kept the polite posture, obviously he was going to talk to the man.
He thought about it and it was not easy to be too domineering and rude, so he walked towards the shopkeeper.
"Are the guest passing by or do you have to take care of the shop business?" asked the shopkeeper.
"I'm going to stay in a hotel. But in the end I can't live. I can't make the decision on which one I want to live in. I'll have to ask my young master to tell you." The man replied.
"That's the young master?" The shopkeeper looked at the carriage.
"My young master is... sleeping, and he has to wait for him to finish sleeping."
"Sleep?" The shopkeeper looked at the shaking body and felt a little strange.
Besides, shouldn’t it be waking up? How come it is said that it is finished sleeping?
However, when he saw that the man was willing to talk to him, his attitude was normal. He felt that he should not have come to find fault on purpose, so he felt relieved.
The shopkeeper was about to exchange a few greetings with the man, but when he returned to the inn, he saw the trembling of the carriage suddenly become violent.
A faint strange voice came out.
However, the owner of the voice was suppressed and he was vague and could not hear it in a real way.
The violent tremor continued for a while, then slowly subsided, and the strange sound disappeared.
After about a cup of tea, it took another cup of tea.
The curtain was lifted, and a man in a big red dress walked out, and then two young women with flushed faces and slightly messy hair came out.
"Young Master." He hurried forward and wanted to help the man get out of the car.
The man waved his hand, jumped out of the carriage quickly, carried the two women down, gave the money to send them away, then looked at the beard and asked, "Where are you? How far is it from Leigu Mountain?"
This man was not someone else, but Chen Sheng, but at this time he did not use his true form, but turned into An Shigeng's appearance.
The An family was the richest man in the Song Dynasty, but the An family's business was not limited to the Song Dynasty. Important cities in various countries had their own sub-colons.
That day, Chen Sheng left the palace and directly transformed into an image. He found the An family's semicolon in Xingqing Mansion to indicate his identity, and asked them to arrange someone to send him to Leigushan.
An Shigeng is the only son of the An family, and the future head of the An family, and the branch manager recognizes him.
I dare not be negligent, and immediately arrange everything along the way.
Even the technicians who were relieved on the way had prepared several batches of semicolons along the way on Feige's journey.
The men guarding the carriage were all guards of the An family's business.
They were going to escort a batch of important goods to Bianjing, but they were directly transferred to serve as Chen Sheng's guide and followers.
The bearded name is Zhou Zhuo. Before joining An’s family, he stayed in the world for a long time.
Although he has not made any name for himself, he has been to many places and is familiar with the geography of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Chen Sheng is the leader and arranges his journey along the way.
"Young Master, we have arrived in Luoyang. This place is only a hundred miles away from Leigu Mountain where the Deaf and Mute Sect is located." Zhou Zhuo replied, and then asked for instructions: "But it's getting late today. Do you think you're resting in the city overnight and continuing your journey tomorrow morning?"
"Then let's stay in the city." Chen Sheng looked at the inn signboard. The regular inn was not a brothel. He was a little disappointed, but he agreed.
"Customer, I have worked hard all the way, please come in." The shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to greet him when he heard Chen Sheng's words.
"Well, it's quite hard."
Chen Sheng nodded and raised his foot and was about to walk in. He accidentally found that many pedestrians on the road were wrapped in a piece of white cloth around their arms. He couldn't help but ask: "Why are so many people wearing mourning? Is the emperor dead?"
"I dare not say anything. I curse the official family. I want to be beheaded. Please be careful when I speak, please be careful when I speak." The shopkeeper was shocked by Chen Sheng's words. He looked around and saw that no one noticed it. He then breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "It is the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect. He was killed two days ago. Now he is stopped at home, and martial arts people around Luoyang have come to burn incense and worship."
"The Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world. The deputy leader was actually killed. The world is probably going to be lively." Zhou Zhuo said in surprise, and then said to Chen Sheng: "Young Master, our An family has some friendship with the Beggars' Sect. Since we have met, should we go to worship?"
The An family business was spread all over the Song Dynasty, and the Beggars' Sect made a living by begging or collecting protection fees. Naturally, dealings were inevitable.
Moreover, An Yunshan was determined to usurp the throne. He has been spending money to buy fame over the years and has done a lot of things like helping poor beggars.
In other words, the An family is considered to be half of the financial backer of the Beggars' Sect.
"Okay." Chen Sheng nodded. It was great to have friendship, so he didn't have to find a reason.
...
"An family in Bianjing, An Shigeng, and Young Master An arrive."
"Five Thunder Swords, Zhou Zhuo, Zhou Daxia is here."
Outside the gate of the Ma Mansion, a disciple of the Beggars' Sect asked about the two of them and sang their names loudly.
After the show, Chen Sheng was about to walk in when he saw a group of people in the mansion greeting him.
"Have you arrived at Mr. An? Qiao is in a position to welcome him. I will forgive you for your crimes." Ang Zang, a big man in the crowd bowed.
The man was extremely tall and handsome, with a strong and heroic spirit in his words and deeds. He was the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng.
"I dare not, I have seen the leader Qiao and the elders in An Shigeng." Chen Sheng bowed and replied, and then said, "An passed by Luoyang and suddenly heard the bad news about Deputy Leader Ma. He was shocked and sad. He came to pay tribute to one or two, and put a stick of incense to express his feelings."
"Young Master An is in love, and the Beggars' Sect feels full of affection, and Qiao also remembers it in his heart." Qiao Feng said, then reached out and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Young Master An, please."
Chen Sheng, accompanied by Qiao Feng and the elders, came to the mourning hall.
Ma Dayuan's coffin is placed in the middle of the mourning hall, with a large lettering on the front.
There is an incense table in front of the coffin. The incense cauldron on the table is now filled with incense, and the mourning hall is filled with smoke.
During his lifetime, Ma Dayuan had no children, nor did he have uncles, uncles, and brothers. Therefore, the family members next to the coffin were the only one who died, Ma Ma, kneeled alone on the cushion.
Mrs. Ma's name is Kang Min. She is a young woman in her early thirties. She has a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance.
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you will be filial.
Kang Min was originally very soft and beautiful. Now she is wearing a mourning dress, which adds a little more color and makes people feel more pity.
All the people who came to the mourning hall, except Qiao Feng, were involuntarily betting on her.
Feeling the gazes of everyone, Kang Min's expression became more and more cold, and she looked like a chaste and virtuous woman.
Just based on her appearance, others would never have imagined that it was Ma Dayuan who was instructing her adulterer Bai Shijing to kill. She had lost her virginity to Duan Zhengchun, the King of Dali Town, long before she got married.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, I am mourning and following the changes." After celebrating the incense, Chen Sheng said to Kang Min.
"Thank you." Kang Min replied lightly, with a cold expression, keeping people from thousands of miles away.
Chen Sheng felt it was necessary to educate such a slut who was different from each other and had a heart.
It’s a pity that I came early, and I can’t do anything in broad daylight.
After leaving the mourning hall, Chen Sheng said goodbye and left.
