He took the porcelain bowl from the fifth lady's hand and drank it all in one gulp.
The concoction is very bitter, but Han Dazhong's heart is sweet. The truth is revealed only in adversity. The fifth wife is the only one left among the wives and concubines. Although there are no servants in the mansion, they have been worried these days .
If it wasn't for the fact that the slave hadn't left, he would have been beaten to death as a fugitive slave if he ran away. I'm afraid this huge Han Mansion would have been empty long ago.
In the past, he stomped his feet and didn't dare to say that the entire martial arts world, at least the rivers and lakes in the Qing'an Prefecture, would cause turmoil. To avoid being affected, he drew a clear line with them early on. As for those friends on the surface, after a symbolic visit to Han's mansion, they would secretly mention the evil sword manual. Han Dazhong had long since given up on asking them for help. hope.
Perhaps the Han family has been reduced to the current miserable situation, and they have played a part behind it.
Fortunately, there are still people who are loyal to him after all. After taking a look at the delicate and beautiful fifth lady, she lay down on the bed.
Thinking that he has been in the martial arts world for decades, there was a day when he was so angry that he was bedridden. He had never been so weak in his life, and today he didn't know what happened. He just woke up for a while, and he felt sleepy again, and his eyelids became heavier , the line of sight gradually blurred.
Fifth Madam smiled at him by the bed, smiling beautifully... This is probably the last image left in the mind of Senior Han, a generation of martial arts hero.
…
…
Goulan is very lively today, guests whispering to each other, the voice is noisy, the only tea delivery guy, his leg is about to break, and the tea is delivered out pot by pot, the broad beans made by Xiaozhu have been sold out, and the five cents are just that. Xiaodie, there are often customers who think it is not enough, and it is only ten cents for throwing away, and ask him to change it to a larger one.
A curtain was hung in front of the originally open stage, covering the stage tightly. The eyes of the guests glanced there from time to time, and their curiosity was firmly grasped as to what the painted skin stage play was.
Lin Dabao is the only clerk here, and he feels a little nervous at the moment, and his palms are sweating while holding the teapot.
Don't be nervous, Grandpa Sun and the others have been busy for so many days, and they are just waiting for today.
This is related to what kind of life they will live in the future. If they fail today, they will all have to leave with their burdens tomorrow.
No, I can't think about it anymore, there are still a few pots of tea left, I can't make the guests wait anxiously, I wiped the sweat from my palms, picked up the teapot and ran over.
As early as a few days ago, a large notice was pasted outside the gate of Washe, which can be seen by both pedestrians and guests.
The content of the notice is very simple. On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the stage play "Painted Skin" will be performed in Goulan. The location of Goulan is marked on a small map below. Everyone is welcome to come and watch.
No one knows what a stage play is. But they are no strangers to "Painted Skin".
That was the most popular story in Goulan a few days ago. The content of the story is extremely exciting. It is said that it can stop children from crying, and even the courageous man will shiver when he hears it. Even the security of Qing'an Prefecture City at night has improved a lot. Because after hearing that story, fewer people walk at night.
Although I don't know what a stage play is, it's definitely not the old man telling stories dryly. With the reputation of "Painted Skin", after the advertisement was released, the first performance was almost full of seats.
Li Yi sat in a remote corner, and Lao Fang sat next to him, a little listless, not even in the mood to watch a movie.
Thinking that he was having an awkward fight with his mother-in-law again, Li Yi didn't pay much attention to it. Suddenly, someone squeezed into the empty seat beside him. Wu Er leaned over and said in a low voice, "Han Dazhong is dead."
Wu Er has been very concerned about Senior Han's affairs these past few days. He knows that the county captain is more concerned than him, and he will come and report as soon as he has any news.
"When the government received the report from the servants of the Han family, Han Dazhong had already died on the bed. It is said that he was poisoned to death. The entire Han family was turned upside down, and all the gold, silver and property were gone. I got some clues. It is said that it was the Fifth Lady who he just married back home not long ago. That woman had an affair with a disciple of Han Dazhong, added arsenic to his medicine, and the two fled with the Han family's property. Now Already wanted."
Wu Er said it very carefully. In fact, the Han family has been on the cusp these days, no matter what movement there is, it will be spread quickly.
"Half a foot is almost in the coffin, what kind of concubine do you want to marry? Now it's all right, I didn't die at the hands of others, but at the hands of my own." Regarding this matter, Wu Er was actually very surprised .
According to the news he heard, there are already many forces on the rivers and lakes ready to move, and the target is the Han family's evil sword manual. As a result, Han Dazhong died before they could do anything.
It is estimated that many people will be disappointed this time. According to the previous speculation, Han Dazhong should be the only one who knows the sword manual in the entire Han family, and he has not passed it on to any disciple. After Han Dazhong died, the evil sword technique will naturally be lost. , I believe that after hearing this news, there will be many people who beat their chests and regretted that they did not make an early move.
In the next period of time, the Han family will probably be very lively. Han Dazhong has no heirs, but there are quite a few disciples. Except for the one who ran away with the fifth lady, the remaining disciples and wives and concubines will probably try their best to put the whole family together. The Han family was divided up.
Of course, there will always be people who don't give up in the Jianghu. The swordsmanship is amazing. Wu Er is sure that if they can become the best in the world, many of them will cut off that thing without hesitation. Han It's not enough for people to search through the house. Those people won't give up until they dig three feet to find that thing.
Even Wu Er once thought in his heart whether the thing is more important or the most important thing in the world. After struggling for a whole day, when he told his brother his doubts, he was almost beaten to death by him, and he never thought about it again. Became number one in the world.
Li Yi has almost completely integrated into this world, where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive. Some people do things unscrupulously, and no one punishes them when they do something wrong. If someone punishes him, do it yourself.
Yesterday, I slapped myself hard several times, and then I erased the thought of number one in the world from my mind.
After waking up, Wu Er finally realized that the evil swordsmanship and the number one in the world were all a story casually told by the county captain from the beginning to the end, and this story was spread from his mouth.
In his eyes, the huge Han family was destroyed and fell apart because of this one story. Thinking about the source of this incident, it was nothing more than the story that the county captain spent a quarter of an hour in the room for him to remember.
Wu Er doesn't sympathize with the Han family at all. On the surface, he is a martial arts senior, but in fact he does all kinds of shitty things. What Han Dazhong did is enough for him to die more than ten times, and he can personally eliminate this evil for the martial arts. Wu Er still has a faint feeling in his heart. I'm a little excited.
Suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Li Yi, and asked in a low voice: "Master, Han Dazhong is dead, and Zhao Yuanwai?"
