Cui Wentian did not expect that more than two years after arriving in Tianliang, the swordsman priests of Sanxian Village still did not take him seriously.

He was one of the three elders of the three major chambers of commerce in Tianliang City, but in the eyes of others, he was just an outsider. This attitude of the swordsmen made Cui Wentian very unhappy.

I think back then, as the leader of the Sihetang Gang in the capital, he held a high position, and hundreds of brothers under his sect responded to his call. After the Sihetang was involved in the dispute over Princess Taiping, and was taken over by the six gates, Cui Wentian came with his money and the girl.

He went to Tianliang City to seek refuge with his old friend, the previous Third Elder. Half a year later, the Third Elder died suddenly, and he succeeded in taking over, ranking third in Tianliang City. But in Cui Wentian's eyes, this so-called

The three major chambers of commerce, Sanxianzhuang and Suihan Sanyou are not even one-third of the size of Sihetang in its heyday. Choosing to make a comeback here is overkill.

However, he still couldn't figure it out.

Originally, Tianliang City was located in an important commercial area and should have been a good place full of gold. However, due to the short-sightedness and infighting of the three major chambers of commerce, this small city seemed to be in decline, at least it did not achieve the results he wanted. After all,

He is a person who has seen the big world.

Cui Wentian was about to get angry when he heard a voice, "You bastard!"

Fan Xiaodao followed the sound and saw two middle-aged people walking out of Sanxian Village.

The leader was bloated, with a face like Maitreya, and always had a smile on his face. The other man was burly, with a fleshy face. It was obvious at a glance that he was not an easy person to deal with. The angry curse just now came from the mouth of the smiling fat man.

, even though he was cursing, there was no trace of anger on his face.

These two people are the two elders of Sanxian Village, Elder Song and Elder Zhu.

The two of them, together with Cui Wentian, are called the Three Friends of Suihan. However, the pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms are inherently proud things. People call them the Three Friends of Suihan together, which highlights their noble character. However, there is no trace of anything from these three people.

any relationship.

Cui Wentian was stunned when he heard this, "Great Elder, are you scolding me?"

Elder Song smiled and waved his hand, "President Cui, you are also one of the owners of Sanxian Village. Even if I am angry, I can't vent it on you, right? I make the decision for you!" He spat again.

The black-clothed swordsman led by Yi Yi said, "You bastard!"

Cui Wentian breathed a sigh of relief. He had been in Tianliang City for more than two years. Although he had become one of the three leaders, he had always been wary of Elder Song, who was known as the Smiling Butcher. There were too many legends about this person, and

In the past two years, he has rarely appeared in public. Even I have only seen him a few times in more than two years.

Hearing Elder Song scolding the swordsman in black, a smile appeared on his lips.

The swordsman in black lowered his head and said: "Yes."

Elder Song said slowly: "Qi Baifeng, as the leader of the guests, you openly disobeyed the third elder's order. Do you know your crime?"

The black-clothed swordsman said: "I am aware of my guilt."

Elder Song smiled and said: "As long as you admit your guilt, it will not be the same again!"

Finished?

If you don't set an example, just take it out on yourself?

However, due to the great elder's face, he had no choice but to give up.

Only then did Elder Song come up to meet Fan Xiaodao, "I don't know that Mr. Fan is coming here, but I missed you from afar. I hope Fan will forgive you!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Do you know me?"

Elder Song smiled and said, "To be honest, I am half a member of the world. Half a year ago, Master Xiao Fan defeated Li Juefei with one sword. The news has already spread throughout the world. I have been yearning for Master Xiao Fan's reputation for a long time. I have always wanted to

I know you, this young hero. So, as soon as Mr. Xiao Fan entered Tianliang City, I received the news. I originally thought about paying a visit in two days, but I didn't expect you to come to our village. It really makes our village shine.

"

Being able to talk is just different.

Elder Song's gentle words were like a spring breeze in his ears, but Fan Xiaodao knew that becoming the master of the largest chamber of commerce in Tianliang City would not be able to stand on his own. Since he is known as the Smiling Butcher, he would probably never kill anyone.

Soft-handed.

Fan Xiaodao laughed.

Elder Song glanced at Tang Bufan again and said, "Tang Bufan, right?"

"Exactly down there!"

Elder Song looked at him with a smile, "Your father, Old Tang, was a well-known good man in Tianliang City back then. Now that I have given birth to such an outstanding son like you, I should be happy to know that I know you now."

Tang Bufan said, "Do you know my father?"

Elder Zhu, who was standing aside, was shocked. He stared at Tang Bufan with a wary look on his face. Elder Song said calmly, "We were considered comrades fighting side by side back then. In a flash, we have been together for more than 20 years."

Fan Xiaodao coughed twice and said, "After standing here for so long, we don't need to go in for a cup of tea, right?"

Elder Song slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I deserve to be punished. I have such a bad memory, please let me know!" As he said this, he faced everyone and walked towards Sanxian Manor.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Elder Song whispered to Qi Baifeng, "You did a good job today. Go to the accounting room to get one hundred taels of silver and invite all the brothers to drink together."

Qi Baifeng held his sword and thanked him.

He knew that although they were guests of Sanxian Village, there was only one master in Tianliang City and Sanxian Village.

This one hundred taels of silver was a reward for his anger at Cui Wentian just now.

Sanxianzhuang is very large, more like a northern manor. After entering, a main road running from south to north divides Sanxianzhuang into east and west parts. The ancestral hall is directly opposite the gate, the reception hall is on the left, and the reception hall is on the right.

It is the meeting hall, and almost all the core departments and personnel of the three major chambers of commerce are located in the manor.

After entering, there is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and the guards are tight.

Everyone came to the meeting hall, and after serving tea, Elder Song said: "Master Xiao Fan, why are you here today?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "To be honest, when I first came to Tianliang City, I didn't make any enmity or offend anyone. However, as soon as I entered the city yesterday, I was assassinated again and again. After an investigation, I found the source of all the problems.

It pointed to Sanxian Village, so Tang Bufan and I came to Guizhuang to find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, as soon as we came here, we met Elder Cui, who turned out to be an old friend of Liangzi when we were in the capital."

Elder Song glanced at Cui Wentian, "Is this happening?"

Cui Wentian had a sullen face and nodded.

Elder Song's face darkened, "Cui Wentian, you assassinated an official of the imperial court without consent. Do you know your guilt?"

Cui Wentian nodded again.

Elder Song said sternly: "Why don't you kneel down and apologize to Master Fan?"

Cui Wentian's face was livid. Who was he? He was one of the two big bosses of the underground underworld in the capital. He was a man of great influence who made the capital tremble every time he sneezed. But now he is ranked second in this humble little place.

Third, it’s not a pleasant feeling to be under someone else’s roof.

However, the underground emperor of Tianliang City, Elder Song, known as the Smiling Butcher, was not Yi Yu's master.

Isn't it just kneeling down to apologize? A man can bend and stretch.

The worst case scenario is to keep an account first and then pay back double in the future, no, ten times or a hundred times!

Cui Wentian knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Fan Xiaodao and confessed, "I am not sensible, please punish Master Fan!"

Elder Song said: "Okay, Master Xiao Fan, Elder Cui is not sensible. Since it is a misunderstanding, how about betraying me to save face and let this matter be over?" Before Fan Xiaodao could answer, he poured a glass of wine and said

, "Elder Cui, why are you still standing there, why don't you propose a toast to Master Xiao Fan?"

Cui Wentian took the wine glass, held it up with both hands, and said, "I would like to offer a toast to Master Fan!"

Fan Xiaodao sneered in his heart.

Send someone to assassinate me, you kowtow here to admit your mistake, and then toast with a glass of wine and that's it?

You are really proficient in your skills with Xini.

If it had been in the past, Fan Xiaodao would have poured this glass of wine on his head. However, now Fan Xiaodao has matured mentally and has passed the age of fighting bravely. Moreover, the other party did not know what he was doing today.

What kind of medicine is being sold in the other person's gourd?

He didn't accept the drink.

Cui Wentian said again: "I would like to toast Master Fan!"

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "Isn't this wine poisonous?"

When Cui Wentian heard this, he drank the glass of wine without hesitation and poured another one, "I would like to offer a glass of wine to Mr. Fan!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "I have mysophobia and I am not used to using cups that have been used by others."

Cui Wentian took another wine glass and poured wine again, "I would like to offer a glass to Master Fan!"

Fan Xiaodao added: "The wine is not poisonous, but it is not certain whether this cup is poisonous or not."

Cui Wentian had a hundred mothers in his heart greeting Fan Xiaodao's ancestors. One moment he said the wine was poisonous, the other moment he said the cup was poisonous. Are you deliberately torturing me? When you fall into my hands in the future, I'll see if I don't take care of you.

Don't worry about it.

However, now that the Great Elder has spoken, he does not dare to disobey.

So he put the wine glass into the tea cup, brewed it with boiling water, poured the wine again, raised it above his head, and said, "I would like to give you a glass of wine, Mr. Fan!"

Fan Xiaodao patted his head, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I quit drinking! How about some tea?"

Cui Wentian, who was already holding back his anger, finally couldn't hold back his anger after a lot of trouble. He stood up suddenly and dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground. He stared at Fan Xiaodao with his eyes fixed on him.

His hatred was not concealed at all.
