The Hook of Flowing Water and Flowers

Chapter 3 Three Blossoms

"The silver hook was handed down to the beauty by my son. You have to accept this kind of beauty." Ling Yi pinched Hong Yu's face affectionately, and gave it a "boo".The beauty smiled shyly, and gently pushed the young master.

Brother Young Master smiled recklessly on his face, squinted his eyes and looked sideways at Yan Zhan: "Brother Yan is new here, and he doesn't understand our customs here. Newcomers must first accept a gift, so when you are next to you, you can Don't hide it, tell me honestly, maybe brother can help you. You can take care of me in the future, Brother Yan, don't you think so?"

Yan Zhan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, saying no.

Ling Yixu saw that the wooden man was having no fun flirting with him, so he passed it.

His next family, Hong Yu, was in a very relaxed state. She hooked Ling Yi with a pair of winking eyes, and said in a coquettish voice, "Master Ling is really too bad. He hurt me every time, and he was voted for many times..."

Ling Yi put his left arm around her waist, and said close to her ear, "What are you afraid of? How much will you pay, brother?"

The woman covered her mouth and "giggled" and laughed, pretending to push Ling Yi away, and didn't continue talking.

When he was next to Hua Tian, ​​he coughed twice in embarrassment: "It's time for me to talk. I don't know anything." He raised his hands and spread his five fingers, indicating that he didn't take anything.But in this game, which fool would hold the hook firmly in his hand. "The information I can give you is that I just gave away the wooden hook before the music stopped." He gave Lu Da a wink and continued: "As for Mr. Ling and his little lover, I can't say. But everyone here can think about how many disasters our Hongyu girl has prevented Mr. Ling, right? And, Mr. Ling, please forgive me for admonishing you. Then those who are facing Qin Muchu, I am afraid that they will never be able to embrace the beauty."

Ling Yi lowered his gaze coldly, and looked at Hua Tian with a half-smile, noncommittal.In the end, she cast an ambiguous look at Yingying who was at the side.

Hua Tian continued: "Brother Yan, you don't look well, there is a problem."

Yan Zhan smiled at him, and he found that Hua Tian's eyes were so deep that people couldn't see through them.No, it's a little strange, he doesn't seem to be looking at himself.

Looking away, Yan Zhan found a faint smile on the corner of Su Ming's mouth, and his eyes were so clear!

Hua Tian on the opposite side was still eloquently analyzing the ownership of the four hooks. He kept saying that he didn't know, didn't understand, but explained clearly the ownership of the four hooks in one mouthful.How much of it is true and how much is false is unclear.It's just that Yan Zhan found that when this man was talking, his eyes would always drift to his side, and they would be subtly staggered, as if he was looking at Su Ming, and at the same time he seemed to be looking at Bai Yiqian.Most of the talkative words are not nutritious, and he can't tell whether there is something in the words.

At the end of a long speech, Hua Tian finally concluded his statement: "Mugou, I'll give it to Lao Lu, pass."

Lu Da pretended to be panic, looked at Huatian, and argued: "My little ancestor Huatian, don't dirty me, the people on the same boat, can we get along well?"

Hua Tian|Smiled mischievously at him with an innocent face.

"Well, stop pretending, I did take a wooden hook from him, but I changed hands immediately. Just a moment before the music stopped." He pointed to Han Xiao on the left, "He definitely didn't have time to make a move, wooden hook Hook, trust me." Then, he talked to his son through someone else, "Son, trust me or this person, it's up to you. If you trust him, don't call me dad again."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaochong's father blinked mischievously and stuck out his tongue, probably already used to this tune.

Lu Da then swept his eyes around the table, "There is a copper hook and a gold hook in front of the wooden hook. Counting the number of people, there must be two of Bai Da, the newcomer, Mr. Yan, and Qi Qi." The person holds the copper hook and the gold hook. I see that Mr. Yan's face is really not very good, but the gold hook is in your hand?"

Faced with Lu Da's question, Yan Zhan remained calm.

The shrewd middle-aged man smiled slyly: "Mr. Yan, don't worry. My father and son were squeezed out of half a dime when we first arrived. You see, we are doing well with Sister Cai? There is an old saying Is it right? It’s a blessing in disguise, but you don’t know it’s a blessing. Is there any bigwig in Sister Cai’s place? If you get close to one or two, you’ll be happy. But Mr. Yan must have good eyes, don’t imitate children, the loss outweighs the gain.” Finished, he He glared at Han Xiao again.

Yan Zhan was really puzzled, the performance of these two plays was also inexplicable.It's obvious that they are hooking up lines and building bridges in secret, but they still have to pretend that they don't deal with it.Is it true or false?

"Old Lu, why do you do this? We are the real family, aren't we? How can you pour Huatian's dirty water over? If you didn't get the wooden hook from him, just honestly confess that you didn't .Who in this game would be stupid enough to hold the hook in his hand? Don’t you think his behavior of raising his hand to prove himself just now is contrived? Anyway, I don’t believe it. The wooden hook must be in Hua Tian’s hands. However, I also There is indeed information. I have a copper hook here." Han Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, calmly swept around the crowd, and said in a mysterious way: "It may still be in my hand, or it may be at the last moment. So I don't Maybe with a wooden hook, but if I have two hooks in my hand, I'm out of the game."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows, and Lu Da's teeth were itching with hatred, so he could only keep winking at his son, asking him to shoot this man to death together with Lao Tzu.

But not only women's colleges are not accepted, but men's colleges are also not accepted.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes and took Han Xiao's words: "I don't have anything. Xiao said he has a copper hook, so he has it. Anyway, I have never seen a copper hook or a wooden hook. I have seen a gold hook. Brother Bai, right? You know, I gave it to you. I was shocked when Xiao gave me the golden hook. At this time, the music felt like it was about to stop. I quickly gave the golden hook to Brother Bai. Yes. Later I saw Brother Bai give the golden hook to that drunkard over there, and the drunkard must have given the golden hook to that Mr. Yan, right? The music stopped at that time, I remember, so it must be true."

After speaking, Lu Xiao handed his eyes to Bai Yiqian on his left.

Bai Yiqian was still under the table flexibly fiddling with a pair of dice conjured up somewhere, and he said concisely, "Golden Hook, Su, Yan, Pass."

"That's Xiaobai's disrespect for me." Su Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled hippiely at Bai Yiqian.

Bai Yiqian glared at him with ill intentions. This man has always looked like a dog skin plaster, and he still pokes people when he speaks. Sew on.

Su Ming didn't care about the resentment from Bai Yiqian at all, and continued: "I didn't give the golden hook to the beauty beside me. I didn't get the golden hook at all, Xiaobai lied to you."

As soon as these words came out, all eyes in the room shot at him.

Su Ming admitted for a second: "All right, all right, to be honest, I did give the golden hook to brother Yan. Don't be so hostile, it's just a game, take it easy."

There is a row of black lines on everyone's foreheads, don't be scary this drunk.

The trick to deceiving people is to arrange Bai Yiqian in the upper house of the target.

Bai Yiqian is undefeated in a thousand rounds in all major gambling houses in Kyoto.Invincibility has its own luck, but more importantly, of course, is his sharp eyesight and quick hands.He can change cards invisibly and will never be discovered, thus making him invincible forever.

This great god was brought here by Huatian, he cherishes words like gold, and is very indifferent to people. Except for Huatian, no one has ever seen him say a word to anyone else.Only in this kind of game would he come over to join in, and he still sold Huatian's face.

Therefore, placing him on top of the target is just to make it easier for him to change hooks.It's very simple, he already has a golden hook in his hand, as long as he cooperates with the musicians to hand the hook to the target at the last moment.At this time, the real holder of the golden hook only needs to tacitly hide the hook.

But today, an uninvited guest broke in, caught between Bai Yiqian and the target, which added more variables to the original plan.

After hearing that Su Ming said that he had given the golden hook to Yan Zhan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.This half-awake young master probably didn't even figure out the situation, let alone lie to cover a stranger he met for the first time, right?They also took this into consideration, so they acquiesced in Su Ming's intervention.

What's more, they actually have a backhand.The first wooden hook prepared for Yan Zhan was coated with drugs that would make people insane. As long as Yan Zhan picked up the hook, he would definitely touch the drug, and it was impossible to resist.Of course, Su Ming, who broke in suddenly, would not know about it. Now he and Yan Zhan should have been poisoned by this drug.

Hua Tian, ​​who was facing each other across the table, was looking at this side with a very distrustful look.

Yan Zhan turned his head and glanced at Su Ming again, knowing that the two were making eye contact.Hua Tian's eyes were cold, but Su Ming's eyes were full of smiles.He nodded imperceptibly, and Hua Tian finally looked away.

Yan Zhan didn't know what Su Ming's purpose was, and he couldn't tell whether Su Ming was with them, but the fact was that Su Ming didn't hand him the golden hook, and the golden hook was probably in the In Su Ming's hands.

But why did Su Ming help him?If he is an uninformed person, it is absolutely impossible to hold the hook and not pass it to the next person, because in the end, the person holding the hook can only lose the game.But if he is an insider, it means that they are in the same group, so why should he come to help him?Moreover, Hua Tian and Su Ming obviously have a close relationship, is there something that I haven't noticed?

"Brother Yan?" Yan Zhan was patted on the shoulder, and he turned his head to see Su Ming's happy face. "It's your turn."

Just when he was about to speak, a gust of strong wind knocked open the windows of the house and blew out the candlelight in the house. In an instant, the house was pitch black, and the wind whistled in his ears.

Everyone fell into a panic.

A shrill female voice exclaimed, and a male voice weakly comforted: "Don't be afraid, beauty, brother is here."

Hong Yu threw her head into Ling Yi's arms, her pupils dilated, and she kept searching for safety in the dark.

After a while, her trembling voice sounded: "Young Master Ling, why are you sweating so much?"

The man's voice was obviously trembling: "Hold me tighter, I... feel cold all over."

Suddenly another male voice sounded: "Look, everyone, there is someone outside the window!"

Under the teasing of the evil wind, the windows swayed back and forth, half-open and half-closed, making a "squeak, creak, creak" sound.

The moonlight flickered outside the window, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, mottled tree shadows hit the window, flickering with the swing of the window.

Through the half-covered window paper, the outline of a person can be vaguely seen. The figure should be a man, with long hair hanging around, standing there motionless. It is said that he is a person. Under the background of this atmosphere, it is more like a—— Zombie?

"Yang... Boss?" A young voice rang out tremblingly.

Another stern voice immediately dismissed the statement: "Don't talk nonsense, Boss Yang won't play tricks!"

At this moment, a figure in the room boldly walked towards the window: "May I ask what is your majesty? Please don't play tricks here." It can be heard from his voice that he is deliberately restraining his trembling.

However, the figure over there remained motionless.

"Father, we are not..." Lu Xiao's voice was very soft, he almost said it in Lu Da's ear, but he could only blame the room for being too quiet, almost everyone heard these words .

Sister Cai couldn't stand anymore, and sternly shouted: "What did you do?"

Lu Xiao was shocked by this roar, and his eyes immediately turned red.He grabbed his father's hand tightly and hid behind him.

Sister Cai was in front of them, her back was facing the window, her face was bright and dark, like a nightshade.Lu Xiao burst into tears with a "wow".

"Father, I, I don't know anything..."

Sister Cai pressed forward with every step, and a flash of lightning outside the house lit up half of her face, making her look even more ferocious.

Lu Da made a "tsk" sound in his heart, this is worthless.

If you want to die together, why cover that kind of person?

"We locked Boss Yang in the Yuelai Inn. Han Xiao wanted to threaten him to hand over the position of boss and take all the money he had saved over the years for himself. Moreover, he also wanted to develop our organization, which pretends to be a house, into a His own power makes it easier for him to climb up step by step. After all, hmph, which high-ranking official in the officialdom is clean?"

"So you're going to threaten that trash?" Sister Cai snorted disdainfully, "I asked my mother if I agreed?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood.

In fact, everyone had also vaguely noticed before that the leader of this group of people was obviously Boss Yang, and this shrewd and ruthless woman was controlling behind them.

Sister Cai turned around and closed the window neatly, and the figure also disappeared after a flash of lightning.

She took out the fire folder from the cabinet, lit the oil lamp, and the room was bright again.

I saw Lu Xiaozhan hiding behind his father tremblingly, showing half of his head, timidly looking at the aggressive woman in front of them.

Han Xiao leaned against the window and looked at the three of them coldly, without saying a word, his face very ugly.

"How much money did Han Xiao give you?" Sister Cai asked straight to the point. She didn't know the father and son, and they would do anything as long as they had money.

Lu Da opened his five fingers.

Sister Cai sneered disdainfully: "The [-]-[-] discount will make you die for him? Is it for nothing that I have raised you this year?"

Lu Da lowered his head and remained silent.

Lu Xiao looked at Han Xiao by the window with pitiful eyes like a small animal. He moved his lips and called softly: "Xiao..."

"Oh, that's how it is." Sister Cai suddenly realized, and her face became even colder, "Beauty tricks? Han Xiao, you are really good at it. You said earlier that my mother asked you to serve a few big customers in our building, so you can hook up with someone who is enough You paid back the book, so you want to spy on my old lady's things?"

At this time, Han Xiao had already calmed down, and said unhurriedly: "Since Sister Cai doesn't like that trash surnamed Yang, why don't you cooperate with me? I'm sure I can take care of our two stores. It has become the first choice for those fat sheep to send money."

Sister Cai turned around, pointed her sharp eyes at Han Xiao, and shivered uncontrollably at the man.She raised her hand and stroked the man's face with her fingertips, leaving a shallow mark with her sharp nails.

She twitched the corner of her mouth emotionlessly, and the smile on her face was extremely cold.

A cold and seductive voice: "You? Can he be obedient?"

Han Xiao only felt a chill from the top of the sky to the soles of his feet.The woman in front of him had the word "dangerous" written in her eyes, and he admitted that he was careless.He never thought that women could be so greedy and ruthless.

The cold hand lingered on Han Xiao's face for a long time, and finally let him go.

Sister Cai breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Forget it, you won't be able to make any waves under my mother's nose. Besides, it's only been a year. Could it be that the calm days have hardened your wings?"

There was an undeniable threat in his tone.

The faces of everyone present changed suddenly.

She laughed twice, her eyes lingered on everyone in the room, and finally settled on Ling Yi.

The man who was watched by the audience was lying in the arms of the beauty, sweating and panting.

"Young master!" The burly man behind him pinched his pulse gate with one hand, and frowned.

Yan Zhan's heart sank, and he suddenly thought of the small movements of Quan Quan's hands before the music stopped. Could it be that he really did something?

In a panic, he wanted to go up to check on Ling Yi's situation, but someone grabbed one of his hands, and when he turned around, Su Ming shook his head at him.

The vigilant Hua Tian caught the words in Sister Cai's words: "One year? What happened one year ago?"

Sister Cai glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Our Chinese ancestors are really noble people who forget things. Do you need my mother to remind you of the embarrassing things you did here a year ago today?"

Hua Tian scratched his head, and laughed twice: "Sister Cai said that we stole Brother Ling's hairpin?"

Ling Yi on the other end got up angrily, and stared at Hua Tian angrily: "The hairpin? You took it?"

"Ah..." Hua Tian looked like a child who had done something bad and accidentally slipped his tongue. He slapped his head and said to himself remorsefully, "I forgot that Mr. Ling didn't know about it."

Ling Yi rushed to Hua Tian, ​​pinched his neck with one hand, and said fiercely: "Say! Where did you put that hairpin?!"

"Brother Ling, don't worry, it's been a year, so what can you do if you find it? Brother Ling is rich and powerful, you can pick the golden hairpin and silver hairpin at will, why stick to which one?" Hua Tian said easily, without ignoring Ling Yi's anger at all. Looking at it, it seems that the one who caught him was just a mischievous child.

Sister Cai retreated to the side, the expression on her face was four words: self-inflicted.

That day, Hua Tian happened to be bumped into by Sister Cai when he was hiding the hairpin. When pressed, he could only tell the truth, and begged Sister Cai to keep the secret for him with snot and tears.

Sister Cai was moved with compassion, and thought that this kid was smart and capable, and could do a lot of things if he stayed under his command, so she agreed to him.

Furthermore, the robbery of the hairpin has already cost a life, and she doesn't want her shop to be stained with blood again.

Ling Yi gritted his teeth, with a fierce look in his eyes: "I bought that hairpin specially for Princess Pingyang. She only loves this hairpin. How much effort did I have to get it? Do you know that after losing it, she has never been with her again?" I said a word! It turns out...it turns out that the marriage agreement between father and the emperor has been written off!"

A cold light flickered in Hua Tian's eyes, and the next moment he returned to his cowardly look, begging for mercy: "Brother Ling, calm down, I really don't know that this thing is so important to you. But now the money has been exchanged, and it's all spent, let the villain go Where can I find it for you?"

"You!" Ling Yi was so angry that he couldn't say a word. After that incident, not only Princess Pingyang ignored him, but also His Majesty the Emperor, who had always loved him so much, became lukewarm. Less caring.In the past year, Ling Yi has been hanging out in Goulan Washe every day, and there are many reasons for this.

"That's enough, Mr. Ling, there are distinguished guests here today, but you've spoiled my mother's good deeds?" Sister Cai's tone was full of dissatisfaction and unresistable majesty.

Ling Yi vented it quickly, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Everyone else in the room also faced to one side, each with their own thoughts.

For a moment, the atmosphere was strange and erratic.

Yan Zhan looked at Su Ming, and saw that the man was staring at Hua Tian with deep eyes.

They exchanged lips with each other for a few rounds, and Yan Zhan didn't know what they were talking about.

Then, Sister Cai turned her head and smiled brightly at Yan Zhan: "Young Master Yan laughed, let's continue."
