Chapter 5 Jinghang Office in Jinguan City

Wei Chaozong noticed the strangeness of Chongguang, and he was determined to attract the other party, so today, in addition to meeting his deceased, he also wanted to show his network power to Mr. Xiao, who has the best martial arts skills, as a preparation for attracting. The world has been inheriting for a long time, and he is rich in literature and martial arts. He is a businessman, but he can make friends with these dignitaries. Naturally, the * power behind him is self-evident.

He specially sent his entourage to invite Chongguang to the banquet, which was also an opportunity to enhance their relationship and integrate Chongguang into his social circle. However, since Chongguang met Liu Xiaosheng by chance and even found the whereabouts of Hua Gu, all he has been thinking about are all those messy clues. Thousands of clues come. How can he have the leisure to socialize? What's more, he is not good at talking. He has always been far away from this kind of banquet.

Wei Chaozong also found that his wishes didn't seem to have started. Mr. Xiao simply couldn't get in. He sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he raised his wine glass in the spring breeze: "Gentle brothers, it is up to Mr. Xiao Yixiao, who can travel through Tibet and Qinghai this time and return safely. Don't look at him as polite. It seems that he has no power to bind chickens. In fact, he is beautiful and skillful. With the power of one person alone, he has wiped out the mountain sculptures that have been rampant in Qinghai for many years and ensured the safety of our business travelers. It is really gratifying and shocking. Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wei would like to give you a toast. Please take care of everything in the future. After saying this, he drank a glass of wine in his hand.

Seeing that he was so polite and could not refuse people thousands of miles away, Xiao Chongguang filled himself with a glass of wine, dried it and said, "Don't be polite." Without saying much, the two looked at each other and sat down separately.

Seeing this, Li Shanheng also stood up. The glass in his hand was overflowing and said in a clear voice, "Yutang and I are friends of the general horn. We know each other. Mr. Xiao saved Yu's virtuous brother, just like saving me. I also have a drink." The two of them touched each other, making a crisp sound and drinking this cup again.

Most of the people present were prosperous. Seeing that Lord Taishou and Wei officials were like this, they also raised their wine glasses to respect the light. Naturally, Chongguang will not pay attention to this amount of alcohol. Those who come will not refuse to drink until the glass is dry. At this time, the luncheon suddenly had the taste of the guests' joy.

At the end of the banquet, most of the guests were already red-faced, but Chongguang and Li Shanheng's appearance did not change. Li Shanheng had already ordered his servants to prepare sobering tea soup and wait for the guests to take a rest. Then they were sent out of the house one by one. When they left, they said goodbye and made an appointment to meet for the future.

After Chongguang and Wei Chaozong returned to the Junyue Inn, Wei Chaozong showed his intention to solicit. He said his words and eagerly, but Chongguang did not say anything. The owner of Junyue Inn, surnamed Huang, has been operating in Shu for many years and is also a leading figure. Wei Chaozong was very familiar with him and could send him at will.

There was no abnormal movement in the next few days, just ordinary entry and exit of the government office. Chongguang went to the courtyard several times to investigate, and only saw Mr. Min, Xiaolei, A Shu and others. Aunt Hua's condition seems to have gradually stabilized, and she has no more wild shouting, but her mind is still not awake, and she is muddle-headed every day.

Mr. Min's medical skills are indeed very good. Hua Gu originally described her as haggard and miserable. She was gradually recovered by him, and her eyes were slightly clear. Although her mind did not get much better, her ability in daily life gradually returned to normal. When Shu and others cleaned her and fed her food and medicine, they gradually learned to cooperate.

Wei Chaozong later went to the Taishou Mansion several times, and sometimes asked Chongguang to go with him, but he was rejected by the other party. Chongguang looked on coldly and gradually found that Wei Chaozong was not an ordinary businessman. In the past few days, although his whereabouts have been low-key, the people who come in and out have some contact with various forces in Shu. In addition to meeting with him every few days, Li Shanheng, the governor of Chengdu, also keeps writing letters every day. If it is said that he met with old friends, his affection is strong, but it does not look like him.

He is in the inn, but most of his thoughts are in the quadrangle courtyard. He has found out that Liu Xiaosheng's name here is called Liu Yi, and he has been a secretary in Chengdu for three years. In other words, at least three years ago, he left the Xue family and left the northwest.

In fact, as soon as Xue Muyun died, the Xue family had no leader. I was afraid that they could not resist the erosion of the Zhou and Tang families at that time. In terms of the background, the two families were far above the Xue family. If it hadn't been for the Gantong faction behind the scruples and had the idea of balanced forces, they would not tolerate the Xue family to show off their power.

What Chongguang didn't know was that as soon as Xue Muyun died, the Xue family was already lingering. After Tong Guxian took action with the Tang family, the two sides completely tore their faces. As soon as Tang Fuli returned to the northwest, he joined hands with the Zhou family to uproot the Xue family. Now there are only two of the three valves in the northwest. Before that, Liu Xiaosheng had already left the northwest.

That quadrangle is not Liu Xiaosheng's house, but an industry outside the surname He. This He's real name is He Hanshan. He is a famous squire in Chengdu. He is rich. Two of his three sons have been promoted. He is an official in other places, and one is staying at home to adopt his parents.

Liu Xiaosheng seems to have a good relationship with the He family. When the third son of the He family was happy with Lin'er, he went to send gifts to congratulate him. That quadrangle is the other business of He Zhixuan, the third son of the He family. He Zhixuan usually lives in the He family compound in the south of the city, which is rarely used. Mr. Min is a guest invited by Hefu, so he arranged to stay here temporarily.

On the surface, everything is fine. Of course, for Chongguang, all this ordinary means that it has been premeditated. What role did the He family play and how much inside information he knew? Chongguang didn't care. He just paid wholeheartedly attention to the movement in the courtyard, and occasionally paid attention to the deeds of Wei Chaozong and others. He always has a feeling that there is some connection behind all this fog.

The beginning of winter has passed, and Chengdu is full of coolness. Chongguang walked aimlessly on the street, allowing the wind of early winter to sing softly in his ear. Today is October 15th, which is not only the full moon, but also the day of the Chengnan Temple Fair. He has been in Chengdu for ten days, and eight days have passed since the luncheon at the Taishou Mansion, and he has never found anything. Although he is now profound and powerful, many things in the world cannot be solved by Taoism.

People come and go in the market, and the cold wind can't extinguish the flames of people's enthusiasm. Chongguang walked along the alley and unconsciously walked to a fork in the road. There was a brisk cheer in his ear. He followed the sound and unexpectedly found that it was Mr. Min's two female disciples.

The girl called Xiaolei looked excited. Her two big watery eyes looked at the lively crowds on the street and said enviously, "This Chengdu Mansion is really lively and much more interesting than ours. Sister, the temple fair has begun. We have to go faster. Shu patted her sister on the shoulder and signaled her not to be impatient.

The two sisters slipped out to visit the temple fair. Chongguang didn't care about such small things and was about to turn around and leave, but there was a sudden jump in the sea of knowledge: a strong vitality fluctuation was approaching, and it should be a practitioner!

He put his consciousness outside and searched the situation around him for a moment. He had seen a man in gray standing a hat a hundred steps behind the two sisters. He could feel the man's sharp eyes like an eagle through the veil and staring at the two sisters through the heavy light.
