Chapter 393
On New Year's Eve, the living room of Tianji Hall was full of people, but Fan Jiannan stood alone in front of the window.Fireworks, the fireworks in the night sky are blooming everywhere, very beautiful, like planting a sky garden for the city, appearing and disappearing from time to time, very beautiful.

The street outside is full of the smell of Chinese New Year, this is the Chinese people.For us, the faint scent of gunpowder and the warmth of family affection are the New Year.

"Do you think they will come?" Fan Jiannan asked looking out the window.

"Don't worry! Jia Zixun is always punctual. Now that our invitations have been delivered, they will definitely come. Even if he doesn't want to, someone will force him to come." Zhao Gongming whispered. "Where is Mr. Wang?"

"Inside, play go with Long Ge. I have to say, he is more calm than us." Fan Jiannan glanced back and said.

Zhao Gongming smiled, "It's not that he can hold his breath, but that he knows Jiazi Xun better than us."

Fan Jiannan nodded, and he said strangely, "I've always been wondering, who is that old woman? She seems to be one of the Liujia Xun, but she seems to have a special status in the Liujia Xun. If everyone, I'm a little afraid of her. When I met Jia Zixun last time, both sides agreed not to do anything. But she still troubles me, it seems that she doesn't care what Jia Zixun thinks?"

Zhao Gongming was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I know who you are talking about. She was not like this at first. This is because after her husband died, her temperament became a little extreme. Her husband was also One of Liujiaxun. He was also very conceited. After being defeated by his father, he was depressed to death. At that time, Jiazixun and I were still young. I left with your father, but Jiazixun was brought up by her .”

"So that's the case." Fan Jiannan nodded after a long time. "No wonder she hates me so much."

Zhao Gongming said with a wry smile, "People in Liujiaxun are more sympathetic to her than they are afraid of her. Sometimes, hatred will always make people lose their minds. Especially, the longer this hatred accumulates, the more it will affect people. The more it hurts. So, this is a poor woman."

"I can understand, just like my father. Most of his life was spent in hatred and sadness." Fan Jiannan said sadly. "I know what it feels like. I want to cry, but I can't cry. The sadder I am, the more resentful I feel."

Zhao Gongming was silent.

A few people walked slowly on the street in front of the Tianji Pavilion. The leader was a tall and thin man who seemed to have seen no sunlight all year round. His face was sickly pale for a while, but this paleness gave him a strange charm.Behind him is an obscene mustache, an old lady, and a young woman.

"They're here." Fan Jiannan slowly lowered the curtains.

As if sensing his gaze, the pale Jia Zixun raised his eyes and looked upstairs.Then he led the Liujiaxun people into the Tianji Hall slowly.

Fan Jiannan came down from upstairs, greeted him with a smile and cupped his hands, "Jiazi is here, I'm not far away to welcome you. I've prepared a table of wine, please come inside."

"I'm not here for the New Year's Eve dinner, I just came to see two people." Jia Zixun said with a smile.

"You didn't come to see people, you came to kill people." Mrs. Li said slowly.

"Zhao Gongming and I are here, why don't you come up to talk?" Mr. Wang spoke from above.

"Master, is it really you?!" Mustache asked in surprise.

Mr. Wang's voice was full of helplessness, "I'm not your master anymore, according to Liujiaxun's school rules, I'm just a traitor now."

Mustache was about to speak, but was stopped by Jia Zixun. He smiled slightly, "Okay, let's go up and talk."

"What right does he have to let us go up? He should come down to see us!" Mrs. Li said bitterly.

Jia Zixun said calmly, "Anyway, this place belongs to Fan Jiannan, and it also belongs to the Wushu people. We are guests from afar, so we can't overwhelm the guests. House rules are one thing, but etiquette is another."

After speaking, he walked up the stairs slowly, and the others followed him up, and Mrs. Li followed behind angrily.

After going upstairs, he saw Mr. Wang playing chess with Long Ge without even raising his head.

"Get up!" Mrs. Li shouted angrily.

Mr. Wang smiled, and said to Long Ge, "It seems that this game is endless. The debt collector is here."

Long Ge touched his bald head and said with a smile, "Looking at it now, I lost to Qimu and a half. But it's good, there will always be a chance to play again."

Mr. Wang smiled slightly, "Maybe there is no chance." He turned his head to Jia Zixun and said, "Jia Zi, how are you?"

"Same as usual. You look better than me." Jia Zixun smiled.

"I'm sorry to call you all the way here. But Zhao Gongming and I have discussed it. Some debts have been owed for too long and still have to be repaid. Today is the New Year's Eve at the end of the year. Everyone should settle the debts. Next year Take it easy." Mr. Wang said lightly. "Have you brought the instruments of torture?"

"It's already ready." Mrs. Li gritted her teeth. "We'll wait until the torture hall is opened to deal with you two traitorous scum."

"Eat slowly, I don't know if I can use you here to deal with our Liujiaxun's internal affairs, is it okay?" Jiazixun looked at Fan Jiannan and said slowly.

What he said about Liujiaxun's internal affairs, the meaning is already very clear, and he hopes that others will avoid it first.But Fan Jiannan just sat down, he smiled and said, "I would like to stay."

"Fan Jiannan! Make it clear to me, this is an internal matter of our Liujiaxun." Mrs. Li said angrily.

"Things inside Liujiaxun? So they are still from Liujiaxun? Since they are still from Liujiaxun, how can you say that they are scum of traitors, and they will be punished by opening the punishment hall? On the other hand, if they really rebel If they are out of Liujia Xun, then they are no longer from Liujia Xun. Since they are not from Liujia Xun, what reason do you have to deal with them?" Fan Jiannan said with a smile.

"You..." Mrs. Li was furious, but she couldn't say anything about Fan Jiannan's eloquence, trembling with anger, she pointed at Fan Jiannan and said, "Fan Jiannan, I haven't settled your debt with you yet!"

"Fight with me, what's the deal? Figure out how I saved you in the fire in the underground parking lot? It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about." Fan Jiannan waved his hand coolly. "I've always been happy to help others, respect the old and love the young, and of course I'm brave enough to do what's right."

"You... you... despicable!" Mrs. Li stared at Fan Jiannan, almost vomiting blood with anger.

"I don't think saving you is a despicable thing. I am a person who respects life, and every human life is precious. No matter how despicable this person is, when his life is in danger, I will still stand up .In fact, don't look down on yourself, you are not despicable, at most you just have a bad temper." Fan Jiannan shrugged.

Mrs. Li was so angry that she was shaking all over, she pointed at Fan Jiannan and was speechless.

Long Boldly blinked and said, "I agree with Fan Jiannan's statement. I am a doctor, and I take treating diseases and saving people as my life's work. So once some people have a stroke due to anger, I am also willing to help them. Who told us to be warm-hearted?"

Feng Yuan couldn't help but press his mouth.She knew that as soon as these two people played and sang, it was clear that they were going to mess around with this old lady.

Zhao Gongming said slowly, "Okay, Jiannan, stop making trouble. You go to the next door first. We will handle this matter ourselves."

"No, it's fine for Mr. Fan to stay here. We are guests, but it's against etiquette to drive the host aside. As he said, if he is kind to Aunt Li, then he is kind to Liujia Xun. Everyone, too. We are all colleagues in the art world, although we Liujiaxun do not have contact with outsiders, there is nothing invisible in our actions." Jiazixun finally said, "In this case, I will temporarily borrow your place and open a fragrant hall."

The Xiangtang he mentioned was the term used by the old gang. After Liujiaxun broke away from the royal family, it has always existed in the form of some kind of secret gang.Therefore, many places still retain the ancient community customs.Xiangtang refers to a certain kind of assembly, because this kind of assembly is very serious, and incense must be offered to worship the ancestors, so it is called Xiangtang.

Xiangtang is generally divided into three categories: the first category is "Happy Event Xiangtang", such as accepting apprentices, passing on ritual notes, and patriarchs passing on cigarettes to future generations; "Four Young Masters" to discuss important matters within the gang; the third category is the "Criminal Xiangtang", which punishes violators of gang rules.At that time, the three elders and four young people should also be invited to the Xiangtang to make a statement and discuss the fact that the punished person violated gang rules and the method of punishment, and enforce the law.

In short, the incense hall is opened only when there are major events, so the ceremony is solemn and the gang attaches great importance to it.There are many gang customs in the old days, and there are many coded sign languages, and even ritual items.But now, many things have been very simplified.

The beauty of Liujia Xun slowly took out the joss stick tablet from her bag, and placed an altar table in the middle of the hall facing south, with five big characters "Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent and Teacher" written on the tablet.He took out several small objects and put them on the table, including a ruler, a mirror, a scale, and other objects.

Roughly speaking, the scale is the rule, the mirror symbolizes the mirror hanging high, and the scale symbolizes fairness.This is an ancient tradition left by the elders.Fan Jiannan was not surprised when he heard his grandfather talk about some affairs in the world.Everything was arranged properly, and then everyone in Liujiaxun offered incense.

Jiazi Xun is the head of Liujia Xun, and he is the first to burn incense, and burn incense one by one according to seniority.Jia Zixun sits at the top. Although he is young, his status is different.At this moment, he was no longer that sick looking Jia Zixun.Instead, it represents the head of the Liujia Xun, the great master who is in charge of the lineage of the Liujia Xun.

Mrs. Li held an old knife in her hand, and shouted, "Wang Da, Zhao Gongming, kneel down!"
