Chapter 20: Severing All Ties, Punishing the Wicked Young Master
With "Qing Yu An Yuan Xi", Zhao Ji successfully entered Wan Qiu Yun's room, Yang Jia and Liang Xin Bai went to the main hall of Tian Xiang Lou to feel the atmosphere.
Upon arriving at the hall, Yang Jian chose four girls to attend to Liang Xin and himself. It must be said that although Yang Jian was no longer human, his eyesight was still quite good, and the four girls he chose were all of high quality.
The hall was not a place where only ordinary wealthy people or those with insufficient status would sit, and many young masters from powerful families also sat inside. Yang Jia glanced around casually and saw several familiar young masters, and he quietly told Liang Xin about their family backgrounds.
Liang Xiao and Yang Jiaolong were watching the performance on the stage in front of them, listening to the musicians playing, occasionally pouring wine and chatting happily. Suddenly, the little girl who had gone to inform Zhao Ji earlier came over and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you, may I ask which one is Mr. Yang Jiaolong?"
Yang Jiaolong was slightly stunned, someone called him "Mr. Yang Jiaolong" and he was still a bit unaccustomed to it. However, Yang Jiaolong quickly reacted and stood up saying: "That's me."
The little girl slightly bowed to Yang Jia and said: "Mr. Zhao Renji is looking for you."
Zhao Renji was the name Zhao Ji gave himself before he went out in disguise. Yang Jia heard that Zhao Ji had found him and immediately nodded: "Trouble Miss to lead the way."
"Yes." The little girl turned around and walked ahead to lead the way, Yang Jiaolong turned his head and said to Liang Xin: "Xin'er, you just play here for a while, Uncle will be back soon."
"Yes, Uncle." Liang Xin nodded in response.
Yang Jian left with the little girl, and Liang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The four girls rubbed him all over, and he didn't need to suppress himself to avoid revealing any marks underneath. If the four girls came to rub him again, he would unhesitatingly rub them back, and his rubbing technique even included acupoint stimulation methods, making the four girls moan with pleasure, their eyes rolling back in ecstasy, almost unable to help themselves from taking Liang Xin's virtue.
Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted in the hall.
Li Xiang raised his head to look at the stage, only to see that the actors who had been performing earlier had already withdrawn, leaving only a turtle official standing in the center of the stage holding a red cloth and saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, today our Qin Qing girl has come up with another question, still following the old rules. If someone can answer Qin Qing's question correctly, and then propose a question that Qin Qing thinks she will never be able to answer, then they can go and drink with Qin Qing."
"Alright, alright, it's not the first time I've come here. Today, I, young master, have been waiting specifically for Miss Qin Qing to announce the questions. Hurry up and reveal the topic, there are over a dozen talented scholars here who can't wait any longer."
Liang Xun looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a fat man with a face full of arrogance, dressed in luxury. Turtle Officer was clearly somewhat intimidated by the fat man, and immediately nodded his head: "Gao Gongzi is right, I won't delay your time any longer, please look at the topic."
A red cloth unfolded and hung down from the stage, with a couplet written in large characters on it. Of course, there was only an upper line without a lower line. As soon as this couplet came out, someone applauded and shouted "Bravo".
Liang Xin read it in a low voice and also felt that Qin Qing was indeed a talented person. The couplet's upper line was: Guest on the natural residence, living in the sky guest.
Literally, the couplet means that a guest walks into an inn called Tian Ran Ju and it turns out he is a heavenly guest. The clever part of the whole couplet lies in the fact that "guest from heaven" is actually the reverse of "Tian Ran Ju".
"Quickly, quickly..." The fat man who was previously called Gao Gongzi by the Turtle Lord saw the upper couplet and hurriedly urged the dozen or so so-called geniuses beside him to come up with a matching lower couplet.
But this couplet is not so simple to match, and more than a dozen talented scholars have racked their brains without being able to come up with a match.
Liang Xin tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands. The girl who was good at observing expressions immediately asked excitedly: "How did you think of the next couplet, sir?"
Liang Xinhuan smiled and nodded: "I have two options for the lower couplet, but I don't know which one Miss Qin Qing likes."
"A couplet to match?" The young lady was shocked. As a courtesan of the Tian Xiang Lou, she also had some knowledge of poetry and music, but that couplet was really as difficult as climbing to heaven, she thought it was impossible for anyone to come up with a matching one in such a short time, yet this handsome and generous young master not only came up with one, but also claimed he had two more.
The girl was half-believing and half-doubting, and immediately stood up and raised her hand: "This young man has already thought of the next couplet, and it's two lines."
"Wow!" For a moment, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Liang Xin. Liang Xin smiled lightly and drank a sip of wine without much movement.
The old turtle smiled and asked: "Since the young master has already thought of a matching couplet, would you please say it out loud for everyone to appreciate?"
Liang Xin stood up and bowed to the people around him, just about to say the next couplet when that young master suddenly shouted loudly: "Hey, I'm talking to you, pale face. Before this young master comes up with a matching couplet, none of you can try to match it."
Li Wei turned his head to look at the high-ranking young master with a face full of scars, and immediately sneered: "Are you my son? Does being a father mean I have to listen to you?"
"How dare you scold me?" Gao Gongzi was both shocked and furious, suddenly jumping out and rushing towards Liang Xin. He relied on his tall and large stature, thinking that he could definitely take down Liang Xin with a single move.
When Gao Gongzi ran to the front of Liang Xin, Liang Xin immediately took action. He saw Liang Xin flashingly grasp Gao Gongzi's wrist and twist it with force, causing Gao Gongzi to cry out in pain and squat on the ground.
Liang Xian stepped on the back of Gao Gongzi with one foot and said with a smile: "Call out 'good father', I'll let you go immediately, otherwise I'll let you experience the power of my 'one needle ghost sees sorrow'."
"How dare you! Let me go at once! I'm telling you, my father is a high-ranking official..."
"Slap!" "You thing with no memory, remember your father's surname is Ri."
“Do you dare to hit me?” Gao Gongzi was stunned, he had never thought that there was still someone in Bianjing City who dared to lay hands on him. Before, he beat a rich merchant's son, the guy subconsciously kicked him back with one foot, and finally he broke his leg. This time, Gao Gongzi thought in his heart that he must chop the person in front of him into minced meat.
"You're just going to hit me? What else do you want? I see you're still quite arrogant. Fine, let me show you what 'a single needle can make a ghost anxious' means!"
Liang Xin took out five silver needles from her bosom, each of which was inserted into one of Gao Gongzi's five acupoints. Gao Gongzi immediately felt a mixture of pain and itching all over his body, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Li Xue sneered, "These five silver needles of mine were forged from the venom of centipedes, poisonous toads, snakes and seven other rare poisons after being refined for 49 days. If you're stabbed by these needles without my antidote, your body will itch unbearably until it rots away. Are you... still so arrogant?"
Liang Xin said that Gao Gongzi was already trembling with fear, and on top of that, he had an unbearable itching sensation all over his body. Gao Gongzi's face turned pale as he shook his head and said, "I dare not, I dare not! Master Gao, please give me the antidote, I will never dare to again."
Liang Xin smiled slightly and said: "Huh? Still calling me a superior person? Didn't you hear what I just said?"
Gao Gongzi's expression hesitated, and after a moment of silence, he spoke with difficulty: "Good father, I was wrong. You, the elder, do not hold grudges against me, please give me the antidote."
"Hmm, that's still a pretty big deal." Liang Xin took out a delicate small bottle from her bosom and said: "I'm asking you, do you know what your father's surname is now?"
"Family name Sun, family name Sun." Gao Gongzi stared at the small porcelain bottle in Liang Xin's hand with wide eyes and immediately gave the answer that Liang Xin wanted to hear.
Liang Xian smiled and said: "Mm, not bad, you've become a lot smarter. Here's the antidote."
Liang Xin handed over the antidote and suddenly shrank back again. Liang Xin asked, "Let me ask you again, what's your father's full name?"
Gao Gongzi was taken aback for a moment and could only smile awkwardly, asking Liang Xin: "Dad, what's your name?"
Liang Xiao pretended to be displeased and patted Gao Gongzi's face, saying: "Your father told me to call you Ma, but you've forgotten."
"Oh, right, right." Gao Gongzi chuckled and said: "Dad, you're calling Ri Yima, Ri Yima..."
Suddenly, Gao Gongzi's face stiffened, "Ri Wo Ma" isn't that "Ri Wo Mama"? The onlookers around immediately burst into a loud laughter that could shake the roof.
