Chapter 71
Shen Wanwan watched Leng Yingchun leave, returned to the department store, hung up the "out of business" sign, closed the door, took a vine basket and went to the courtyard inside.
Sitting on the stool next to the well in the middle is a handsome man wearing white clothes. His fair face and strong body look a bit nondescript.
He is Yan Zipiao, a subordinate of Wanshi Pavilion, and he is devouring the food on the table.
Shen Wanwan threw the vine basket in front of the man, "Inspect a little girl for me."
"Is there any mistake? I just came back from the border. I sent you the news about Dayu's seizure of the city and gave you ten taels of silver. I haven't sweated yet and my butt is still hot. You just let me Doing the work? It’s mindless, and you just give me a basket? What to check? I won’t check it, I definitely won’t check it!”
Yan Zipiao took the basket and took a look. With a twist of his fingers, the basket spun aside. He opened his mouth and plucked at the food on the table.
After running such a long way, rushing through rapids and rafting, and then rushing across the land, it took two bloody horses to get back three times faster than the people from the government. To eat, I ate dry food while rushing along the roadside. Just keep on living, I haven’t eaten enough, I’m really hungry!
"Are you sure you don't want to investigate?" Shen Wanwan sat down and made a pagoda shape with his hands, showing a calculating look.
"No!" Yan Zi Piao Ku Ku replied. As he ate, he felt that the atmosphere was too condensed, as if something was about to happen.
He glanced at Shen Wanwan carefully, then slapped his chopsticks on the table, picked up the fan on the table and opened it with a bang, stood up and said, "How much will you give me?"
Shen Wanwan stretched out two fingers.
"Twenty taels of silver?" The man smiled disdainfully, shook his fan vigorously, and said weakly, "Give me twenty taels of silver and it's more than enough."
Shen Wanwan took off his fan and sneered, "You're overthinking, it's only two copper coins!"
"Depend on!"
The man closed his fan and clapped his hands. His face was twisted as if he had eaten a fly. After a long time, he raised a finger and pointed at Shen Wanwan.
"You are indeed an iron rooster. If you were just a little more generous, there wouldn't be so many people rushing to leave, and our world-famous 'Wanshi Pavilion' wouldn't be reduced to the two of us now."
"I have no money!" Shen Wanwan spread his hands. He also wanted to spend generously, but his strength did not allow it.
"Okay, you are old, useless and can't make much money. I can understand that. What's too much is that sometimes I have to spend money to buy information from other people to tell you! Your evil-hearted behavior is nothing like this. He should be despised by everyone in the world."
"A penny stumps a heroic man. I'll give you two copper coins as an allowance. I think I'm worthy of you. Don't forget, you eat my food, drink my food, buy a peach and beg me for money. I'll give you two copper coins as your pocket money." I feel sorry for you!"
Shen Wanwan looked at Yanzi Piao indifferently and said so miserably that those who didn't know thought I was abusing you. In fact, you were abusing me. I didn't even earn enough to spend on you.
"What can you do with two copper coins? Even a cup of tea is gone!" Yan Zipiao approached Shen Wanwan with a smile, "Old man, boss, please give me a little more, ten copper coins!"
That means ten copper coins will be spent immediately and exhausted, and then die.
"No, no, there's so much nonsense, should we go or not?" Shen Wanwan looked at the man closely and threw down two coins.
"Go!" The man was as decisive as a strong man breaking his wrist. He picked up two coins, sat down, picked up a fan and shook it, "I think of Yan Piao, a handsome man from the great Yu Kingdom who has excellent qinggong. I just blinked and he was fascinated. Thousands of girls are flocking to me, who would have thought that they would be reduced to accepting tasks for two copper coins? Hey, life is so gloomy!"
"Stop crying about being poor. Will it be difficult for you to get money? Leave some dignity to Wanshige!" Shen Wanwan sat down and picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it twice before spitting it out. He stood aside and said, "It tastes terrible!"
"Na na na, you finally realize how unpalatable the food you cooked is, right? Even dogs won't eat it!" Yan Zipiao grabbed the chopsticks and turned over the vegetables carefully, and finally found the green leaves. He put it in his mouth and chewed it, "It still has some flavor."
"What did you just say?" Shen Wanwan narrowed his eyes and pointed at Yan Zipiao. There is a price to pay for slapping someone.
The swallow stopped chewing and swallowed hard, "Woof woof!"
"It's not loud enough, I can't hear it!" Shen Baiwan said, covering his ears.
Yan Zipiao grabbed Shen Wanwan's hand with both hands and broke it off, then brought it close to Shen Wanwan's ear, "Ow, woof woof woof..."
"Noisy!" Shen Wanwan pushed Yan Zipiao away and rubbed his ears. The voice was really harsh.
Yan Zipiao sat down and fanned seriously, "Old man, I don't understand. Why do you want me to pay attention to the war between Dayu and Qingyan? What does it have to do with you? This is what I have received. The most useless task."
"Keeping abreast of the border situation at all times will enable you to make accurate judgments when danger is approaching. If the time is not right, go to the ocean!"
Shen Bai put his hands on his neck, mainly to see if there were conditions and opportunities for a comeback.
If the Kingdom of Dayu was destroyed by the Kingdom of Ancient Chu, he would never re-establish Wanshi Pavilion and let Wanshi Pavilion continue to wither.
This idea kept flashing in his mind and he never mentioned it to Yan Zipiao.
Yan Zipiao couldn't see Shen Wanwan's mood changes, nor could he guess his thoughts. He put his legs on the table and faced Shen Wanwan with the smell of dryness in his shoes, "Old man, I also want to resign. !”
Shen Wanwan raised his elbows and said, "Reason!"
"I've put this in front of you, do you still need a reason? The environment is changing, and everyone is moving to higher places. I can't do it anymore!" Yan Zipiao touched his weathered face, "I started following it when I was two years old. You traveled around the world, through wind and rain, non-stop, how much information did you investigate?"
"This is the duty of Lord Wanshi's subordinates, and you still took my money, using other people's money to eliminate disasters for others." Shen Wanwan snorted coldly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't mention the money. Every time I take money from you, I feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly. Look, I am now thirty years old and I don't even have a woman by my side. If I waste any more time, I will be just like you. , I have been a bachelor all my life, is there any hope for our Wanshi Pavilion? Its century-old foundation is ruined in your hands. In your hands, don’t you feel ashamed of your ancestors?”
Yan Zipiao guessed that Shen Wanwan was reluctant to let Wanshi Pavilion disappear.
"Are women important?" Shen Wanwan asked back.
"Of course, you will feel sorry for you, take care of you, cook for you, rub your shoulders and beat your back, twist your ears harshly and say to other women, 'Get out of here, he's A man who is my mother will shyly rely on you to give you all the face, and will give birth to your little one..."
Yan Zipiao immediately listed countless advantages of having a wife.
The most important thing was that he really couldn't stand the food cooked by Shen Wanwan. It was tasteless.
"There are indeed many benefits. By the way, don't you like the miracle doctor Feng Bei'er? She is so elusive, and you can still see her? Are you willing to marry another woman?" Shen Wanwan asked back.
In order to pursue Feng Beier, this boy disobeyed Wanshi Pavilion's instructions and left privately. He was caught by his companions and imprisoned. Unconvinced, he wanted to run away from home and almost destroyed Wanshi Pavilion.
"I can't bear it!"
Yan Zipiao sighed and sat down, patted the table, closed and opened her fan, and her eyes were extremely firm.
"I will never give up on Bei'er. From today on, I will post hero posts widely. If anyone can make me eat regularly and bring me to Bei'er, I will abandon the dark side and join the bright side. Under his command, he Let me go east, but I will not go west, and I will never complain."
Shen Baiwan clicked his tongue and shook his head, "No future!"
"If you have no future, you have no future. Look at this food... woof woof... Food is the most important thing for the people. The sky is falling down for me. What else do I need to do for a living?" Yan Zipiao pointed around and swung his fan back and forth. Go, "Look at the dilapidated house, the dilapidated table, you are aging, there is really no hope. If I stay, won't you have to take over this shop of hundreds of things for the rest of your life after a hundred years? I don't want to be so unambitious." .”
Shen Wanwan suddenly fell silent, and after a long time he said leisurely, "Why did I close Wanshi Pavilion and hide here incognito to collect groceries and sell them? You know better than anyone else!"
"..." Yan Zipiao no longer laughed and laughed, but calmed down.
Wanshige is a Jianghu organization that collects intelligence from all over the world. At its peak, it gathered two thousand top Jianghu masters.
They know everything and everything, attracting forces from all over the world to come and buy the information they want.
If there is important information that Wanshige does not have, if the customer places an order on the same day, Shen Wanwan will send someone to investigate on the same day, and a reply will be given soon.
Because it feeds back information so quickly, and can also search for information that guests didn't expect, it has attracted various forces to work hard to keep it under their control and work for it.
As incidents involving the death of masters continued to occur in the cabinet, Shen Wanwan felt the crisis, but he did not take timely response measures.
Soon, the masters were wiped out with only 500 people left, and Wanshi Pavilion faced an unprecedented crisis.
Only then did Shen Wanwan come to his senses. Seeing all the forces in the world eyeing Wanshi Pavilion, he understood deeply that a big tree attracts wind.
He made a prediction: if the Wanshi Pavilion continued to stand in the arena, more people might die, so he opened a "Zhun Ci" channel to allow the experts in the pavilion to leave, go far away, and remain anonymous.
Many masters no longer wanted to make a living on the knife's edge, and wanted to retire and become ordinary people, so they left one after another.
Of course, they would also send messages to Shen Wanwan from time to time, but not so often.
Yan Zipiao, as Shen Wanwan's child, couldn't bear to have Shen Wanwan alone, so she didn't leave. She continued to travel around the country, serving as the main force to provide Shen Wanwan with information about various places.
He came back from the border this time and witnessed with his own eyes Su Jingxian's help with young men.
He just thought that after delivering this message, he would retire and find a beautiful mountain village to spend the rest of his life quietly.
"I'm going to investigate that little girl!" Yan Zipiao picked up the vine basket and looked at it carefully, "I think I've seen this weaving technique somewhere before?"
"Did your sweetheart weave it?" Shen Wanwan asked back.
"I am loyal to Bei'er, so what's the difference?" Yan Zipiao sat down, thinking carefully about what he had experienced, and suddenly slapped the table, "I remembered, I once went into the palace to look for valuables. Something like this, I saw an iron basket with this weaving technique in the palace of Princess Fang Yang."
"It's okay. Why did you go into the palace? There are many secret guards there. Are you afraid of being caught and castrated into a man and a woman?"
Shen Wanwan looked at Yan Zipiao in confusion, "Old boy, you can do it. How many things are you hiding from me?"
"It's all your fault! If you give me a little more money, will I go find something to sell? Thieves have a way of saying that if I don't take the common people's money, I will take the palace's." Yan Zipiao looked at it with dignity. Shen Wanwan said, "Quake So So Sou, if people find out that you are the master of Wanshi Pavilion, you will be laughed out of your wits?"
"Stop being so talkative, that little girl is really not simple. You knew she was related to Fang Yang even before you investigated!" Shen Wanwan frowned, "She is really arrogant."
"She is such a powerful person, and you still want me to investigate?" Yanzi Piao snorted coldly, is it interesting?
Shen Wanwan raised his eyes with a sharp look. Yan Zi fluttered his fan and sat down again, "Give me a hint, who is this little girl?"
"She said she lives in Lishuping!" Shen Wanwan said lightly, "Be careful, don't be discovered, or she will make you a ghost!"
"Ho! I, Yan Zipiao, can walk with my eyes closed. Do I need to be careful when facing a young girl?"
"boom!"
A certain arrogant brother bumped into the table, fell down and ate dirt on the ground.
