"That kid still dares to come to the door?"
"Humph, you are so complacent, you are going too far to deceive others!"
Inside the gate of the Zhou family, several disciples lowered their heads and whispered.
Their eyes were all focused on the Zhang family's team.
In addition to the Zhang family father and son and their disciples, there are two eye-catching guys there: one is wearing a black military robe with sharp eyes, and the other is tall with a bald head and beard, none other than Li Yan and Sha LiFei.
The disciples of the Zhou family were all a little angry.
It's okay to say that the other forces are all on the Xianyang City road, and they have some grudges with the former Zhou family. Today we have to make it clear.
But who do you Li Yan be?
When Xianyang came, he crippled Zhou Bai and became famous. Zhou PeiDe even took risks because of this and was sent to prison. After the fall, he was asked to kill him.
Inside and out, I have never suffered a loss.
I have to come to the door today. Isn't this embarrassing?
Of course, no one of them dared to say anything about the current situation.
After the anger, helplessness and sadness came to my heart.
Li Yan Spiritual Sense is keen and naturally detects the unkind glances.
He didn't bother to pay attention, but glanced behind him.
There stood a middle-aged man, dressed in black and wearing a square hat. He was tall, with gray hair on his temples, and his facial features were majestic. There were two Yamen Runner behind him.
It is Xianyang who catches the head Guan WanChe.
When Sha LiFei next to him saw this, he said in a low voice with disdain in his eyes, "It depends on what he does. He is just a villain who can act according to the wind. There is no need to pay attention to him."
Sha LiFei is right. Many people on Guanzhong Road know that Guan WanChe and his father Li Hu were close friends in life and death. In terms of relationship, they are much closer than Old Master Zhang.
However, his father did not show up when he died, and he had not visited Li Family Fortress for many years, and Li Yan did not even know that such a person existed.
According to Zhang ShiTong, when Guan WanChe was transferred to Xianyang as the head catcher, many people thought he was looking for trouble with Zhou Pan, but nothing happened.
The only time he took action was when Zheng Xianhuai's family was exterminated. Yamen Runner wanted to use him as a scapegoat, but was stopped by Guan WanChe.
Li Yan doesn't care about the warmth or coldness of human relationships.
In the rivers and lakes, it is common for the tea to get cold before people leave.
What's strange to him is, what is Guan WanChe doing here?
As if aware of his gaze, Guan WanChe walked up directly, expressionless, looked at him a few times, and said calmly, "Do you have a grudge against me?"
Li Yan said calmly, "How can there be hatred between strangers?"
"That's fine."
Guan WanChe nodded and sneered, "Your father and I were close friends for eight years, but he failed my sister. People came to Tai Bai Mountain to worship him and made my mother cry all day long. Have you ever seen such a brother?"
Li Yan's face froze, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "This... I don't know much about the previous generation."
Speaking of this, he remembered what happened back then.
My father didn't come home for the Chinese New Year, which made my grandfather angry. But two beautiful women showed up, got jealous at the door, and started fighting, which made my grandfather very angry.
One of them seems to have the last name Guan.
And from what they said, their father's romantic debts don't stop there...
Thinking about this, Li Yan felt a little helpless.
Looking around again, not only Sha LiFei's eyes widened, but even the Zhang family's father and son and his disciples next to him all pricked up their ears, their faces full of gossip.
"Go, go, go."
Li Yan pushed Sha LiFei away and said sternly, "I can't say more about the older generation, but if there is any grudge, just follow it up."
"Receive?"
Guan WanChe sneered, "My sister is honest and swallows her losses even when she suffers. But some women are not easy to mess with. Can you handle it?"
As he said that, his face softened slightly, he sighed, and patted him on the shoulder, "He is the son of an old friend after all. Now that you have entered the world, you can do your own thing. Don't imitate your father."
Then he turned around and strode into the Zhou family mansion.
Zhang YuanShang on the side also stroked his beard and nodded. "It seems that this Constable Guan is not an unrighteous person, but he just has anger in his heart."
"Let's go, I'll give away Old Monkey today."
With that said, he led everyone into the mansion.
Li Yan deliberately lagged a few steps behind and remained calm. He took out a piece of paper from the seam of his shoulder. When he saw the writing on it, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
The Zhou family's compound is really spacious, with several courtyards inside and outside. Each courtyard has a martial arts arena and many weapons on display. It is said that there were hundreds of disciples in the past.
These are just martial arts disciples, not counting the peripheral members of Eight Great Vajras.
It is conceivable that the Zhou family once had great glory.
But now, there are less than a hundred disciples left, many courtyards are empty, and the ground is messy and no one is cleaning up.
Soon, the main hall of the Zhou family was filled with people.
This main hall is also not small, it is more than three times larger than the one in the Zhang Family Martial Arts Hall. Reputable people sit on both sides, and the disciples stand behind them.
At this point, there are still quite a few empty areas in the lobby.
The one who presided over the Washing Hands in a Golden Basin ceremony was Zhou Pan, one of the Eight Great Vajras disciples, Zhou YuanShan, who was also a disciple of the Zhou family. But unlike Zhou PeiDe, he was tall and had a dull and honest appearance.
He cupped his hands in all directions and said, "Today is auspicious and auspicious, it is the time of my master Washing Hands in a Golden Basin. You all come to watch the ceremony, and the Zhou family will shine brightly."
"Stop doing these nonsense."
A man in Tsing Yi looked a little worried. He took a sip of tea and said in a cold voice, "With so many fellow Jianghu people coming, Zhou Pan didn't say to greet them at the door, but also asked them to wait. It's a bit too arrogant!"
The person who spoke was Han Kun, the leader of Cao Gang.
Cao Gang is a real behemoth, dominating many docks in the north. Wherever the rivers go, there are Cao Gang disciples walking around, and there are many halls.
Cao Gang in the north, Raft Sect in the south, and Four Seas Gang in the sea. Everyone who lives on the water in the world is basically related to them.
Xianyang Cao Gang is just a small sub-rudder among them.
But even so, this Gang Leader Han's status is truly extraordinary, and he is also a Transformed Strength master at the same level as Zhou Pan.
It was precisely because of the joining of Cao Gang and Tai Xing Cart and Horse Company that Zhou Pan was afraid and had the idea of shrinking his strength and preserving his strength.
When Zhou YuanShan saw Han Kun getting angry, sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. Just as he was about to explain, several old coughs came from behind.
"Gang Leader Han, I'm not a bigot."
I saw an old man slowly walking in from the side door of the main hall, it was Zhou Pan.
But at this time, his face was full of fatigue, his beard and hair were withered, and he seemed to have aged much in a short period of time.
"I made you laugh."
Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Zhou Pan laughed at himself, "I just took care of some household chores, but it's just that my apprentice refused to come to the house. Even my own Zhou family members are making noises about separating the family. Haha, it's really ridiculous."
Many of the people present were heads of family.
If you are not a householder, you will not know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.
But when you become a family, you realize that food, rice, oil, and salt are just trivial matters, and that discord between people is really frustrating.
Thinking of the arrogance Zhou Pan once had, everyone couldn't help but feel sad. The world is in trouble, and who knows what day it will be their turn.
Zhou Pan seemed to have lost his temper. He cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said in a clear voice, "I have always been competitive in my life. I have few friends and many enemies. Only now have I discovered that everything is determined by fate, and I have no control over it."
"If you have offended me in the past, please forgive me."
Seeing that everyone was silent, he smiled hoarsely, shook his head and said, "I'm tired now. I want to go back to my hometown and become a farmer. If you have any grudges, let's get together today."
"Death or life, all grudges will disappear!"
After saying that, he looked to the side and nodded.
A copper basin has been prepared over there. The wooden frame below is made of fine sandalwood. The copper basin is also high-end. It is shining with gold and carved with five bats. It is filled with half a basin of water.
Zhou YuanShan picked up three incense sticks, lit them, bowed three times to the portrait of the Patriarch in the main hall, and then inserted them into the incense burner.
Cao Gang, Tai Xing Cart and Horse Company, and various martial arts schools headed by the Zhang Clan Martial Hall had plans in advance, so naturally they would not be in trouble.
The leader nodded, and a disciple immediately came forward with a red cloth strip and tied it to the shelf under the copper basin, indicating that he had no objection.
And when Three Incense Sticks is clicked and no one raises any objection, you can start Washing Hands in a Golden Basin and completely withdraw from the world.
"There are some things that really should be talked about!"
Luo ShiHai put down the tea cup and said coldly, "Old Monkey, don't pretend to be pitiful here. When you were showing off your power, you wouldn't have thought about this!"
Zhou Pan seemed to have expected it. He bent down and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Luo, it was me who couldn't help you in the past. Someone come and bring him up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two disciples dragged one person into the main hall.
He was a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance. He was obviously talented, but his eyes were swollen and he looked like he was drunk. His face was full of fear. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Uncle, have mercy on me, uncle, have mercy on me!"
Zhou Pan sighed, "As my family grows, there are many things that I can't help but do. My mother was still alive at the time, so I could only offend Brother Luo when I gave the order."
"Zhou LuoHai He has also committed some crimes. I have already reported him to the official. Constable Guan If he comes today, he will be taken away. He is probably a prostitute."
"Brother Luo, are you satisfied?"
"Ha!"
How could Luo ShiHai be satisfied, and mocked. "You old guy, you know how to kill relatives out of justice, what have you been doing?"
Even so, he had no reason to stir up trouble. He looked at Zhou Pan bitterly and asked his disciple to go up and tie the red belt.
Zhou Pan looked calm and clasped his fists at the people around him:
"Everyone, is there anyone who wants to settle their grudges?"
Although he said he was losing everything, since he wanted Washing Hands in a Golden Basin, how could he be unprepared? He had secretly contacted all parties in advance and made many concessions.
The only difficult one, Luo ShiHai, also has countermeasures.
Just wait for Washing Hands in a Golden Basin to end and leave Xianyang immediately.
But just when he was feeling proud, Li Yan slowly stood up.
"Oh?"
Zhou Pan's eyes became gloomy, "Boy, it's okay for others, but you crippled my Zhou family's children, but we are the ones who have the complaint!"
"This is not how we settle grudges..."
Li Yan came to the hall with no expression on his face and asked unceremoniously, "I just want to ask, is my father's death that year related to you?"
Zhou Pan shook his head and said, "Your father died in a dishonorable manner. If given the chance, I would rather defeat him openly."
"So upright!"
Li Yan's eyes murderous intent flashed. "Anqing Hall, Lu Gongyuan, if your surname is Zhou, don't say you forgot!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Pan immediately changed his expression...
