Chapter 127 Boss Zhao
Zhao Laosan personally sent the beautiful concubine back to his hometown, and Li Daoxuan spent a day at Zhao's house. During this time, Zhao's wife Zhang came to visit him and told him a lot about the Zhao family, mostly complaints.

The three brothers of the Zhao family have never been on good terms, especially the second and third brothers, who have always quarreled with each other since childhood. The eldest brother, Zhao Zhiyuan, is quiet and dull, the second brother, Zhao Zhixue, doesn't like to study and only likes to spend money and drink, and the third brother, Zhao Zhishu, is a kind person, but he can't stand some of the second brother's behavior.

Therefore, there were often quarrels between the two, and in the end it was usually the eldest brother who mediated.

Later, the eldest brother Zhao Zhiyuan followed Master Zhao to learn how to manage the family property, and the conflicts between the second and third brothers became more and more frequent. The most serious conflict was when the third brother got married. The second brother wanted to make trouble in the bridal chamber, but the third brother refused to do so, and the two brothers even had a fight in the end.

Because of these things, Zhao Laoer couldn't stand Zhao Laosan even more. As for Zhao Laoer's wife, she couldn't stand his dissolute nature and divorced and returned to her parents' home. Although couples can divorce nowadays, if the second brother doesn't agree, the government will not issue this "letter of divorce", but the second brother actually agreed immediately.

Then, when Mr. Zhao got into trouble, the eldest son took care of all the family business affairs. He had to go to Zhenjiang Prefecture for something, so the eldest son entrusted the family affairs to the third son. Without the discipline of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao, the second and third sons became even more violent. The third son invited the opera troupe, Taoist priests and monks to come back, so the second son also invited a witch to play music at home.

These magicians were useless and even repeatedly molested the maids in the courtyard. Finally, they were driven out by Zhao Lao San, and the second and third brothers had a big fight over it.

After listening to the old lady's words, Li Daoxuan finally understood why Zhao Laoer disliked him so much when he first came to the Zhao family. It was probably because he took out the anger he felt from Zhao Laosan on himself.

"I never thought he would do such a beastly thing, nor did I expect he would leave like this. The second son was just not well brought up since childhood, why does he have such a miserable life?" The old lady cried, and Li Daoxuan could only comfort her with kind words.

"Madam, the dead cannot be resurrected. Please don't worry yourself. The eldest and third young masters are still waiting to be filial to you, madam."

"Ah, I know, I know."

Madam Zhang left, and when she left, she asked Li Daoxuan to stay well and to tell the servants if he needed anything. After all, he had temporarily controlled Mr. Zhao's abnormality, and the master and servants of the Zhao family knew it. They knew in their hearts that this young Taoist priest was a capable person, different from those outer Taoist priests and monks who only knew how to play music and drums.

Li Daoxuan did not reject the old lady's kindness and stayed in the Zhao family with peace of mind.

A day later, Zhao Zhiyuan, the eldest son of the Zhao family, came back.

When he first met Boss Zhao, Li Daoxuan realized that there are some people in the world who are "born with evil looks".

In fact, if you just look at the appearance of Boss Zhao, he is not that big and strong, and he doesn't look like a bad guy. In fact, he even gives ordinary people the first impression that he is honest and loyal.

But his eyes were like knife blades and his thick eyebrows were cut in the middle, which made him look lonely and disabled.

People with this kind of face will have conflicts with their brothers and bad family conditions. Although they look honest and loyal, they can be extremely cruel when they get angry. They are truly vicious.

Li Daoxuan looked at his nose and mouth again. His nose was like an eagle hook, and his lips were thick but thin on both sides. Judging from his appearance alone, there seemed to be nothing wrong with him, but there was murderous intent hidden in it.

Even worse was the top of Boss Zhao's head. Li Daoxuan opened his eyes and looked at the energy, and was also shocked by a blood-red mist.

The blood mist was like thick blood, with figures struggling constantly. It also contained black mist, which was also mixed with some white frost.

The blood mist was wrapped around Boss Zhao's head, and in the dim shadows, Li Daoxuan could actually hear the sound of crying.

"." Li Daoxuan was shocked. He had never thought that someone's luck could be so strange. This Boss Zhao was definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, based on the thick blood-like mist, this person should have died thousands of times. Even if he was not dead at this moment, he should have been seriously injured.

But he was still standing in front of Li Daoxuan intact, without even a scratch on his body. Li Daoxuan looked calm, but he was alert in his heart.

He bowed to Boss Zhao, leaned forward and said with a smile: "I am Li Daoxuan, I am honored to meet you, young master."

"Are you the little Taoist priest my third brother mentioned?" Boss Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked Li Daoxuan up and down. Although he looked honest, he had a strong aura and a hint of ferocity in his expression. Anyone with a slightly bad mentality and sensitive mind would be scared by him.

Just like Li Yanming beside Li Daoxuan, he was hiding behind him in fear at this moment.

Li Daoxuan didn't care much about Boss Zhao's fierceness. He had seen people who were more fierce than him, and they would kill people with one move. Boss Zhao's fierceness was far inferior to that of the Taiping people. It was okay to bully some poor people, but it was really ridiculous for him to scare Li Daoxuan, who looked like a child.

Li Daoxuan smiled and said to Boss Zhao: "My surname is Li, I am the little Taoist priest that the Third Young Master mentioned. You can call me Taoist Xuanren, the First Young Master."

Li Daoxuan was weak and sickly since birth, so the Li family never gave the child a full name. They only called him by a nickname, hoping that the name would be humble and easy to raise, and would not die too early. It was not until that year that Changming Zhenren took him to the mountain to enter a temple, and then he was given the Taoist name "Daoxuan".

The old Taoist priest was a Taoist priest of the Maoshan Qingwei sect with the character "Zong". As Li Daoxuan was the old Taoist priest's disciple, it was natural for him to take the character "Dao".

"Xuanren" is the Taoist name given to Li Daoxuan by Changming Zhenren when he granted him the Taoist certificate and accepted him as his direct disciple. It was also for the convenience of Li Daoxuan when he went down the mountain in the future.

As long as this name is spread, no matter which Taoist temple of the Zhengyi Sect you go to, you will be treated with courtesy.

"Ha, it turns out to be Taoist Xuanren. I was a little rude just now, I hope you won't mind." Boss Zhao's expression suddenly changed, revealing a kind smile. He bowed to Li Daoxuan, and then greeted him respectfully. "I was worried that my third brother would be deceived by the quacks, but now I see that the young Taoist priest is so handsome and talented, he is really a fairy boy who has descended to the earth. I think with the young Taoist priest's help, my father's condition will definitely get better."

"Master, you are too kind. I am just doing my duty." Li Daoxuan said with a smile. "But your father's condition is indeed serious. I wonder when we can go to the Zhao family's old house to see him?"

"No rush. After Zhao has arranged things at home, he will go to the old house with the Taoist priest." said Boss Zhao.

Then he called to the servant beside him, pointed to the kitchen in the inner courtyard and said, "Go and tell the kitchen staff that I will host a banquet for the Taoist priest at home today. Do not neglect the distinguished guest."

"I understand, young master." The servant said respectfully and ran quickly to the backyard.

The eldest brother Zhao invited Li Daoxuan into the house with a kind face and said, "The Taoist priest has been in my Zhao family for a few days. I guess my third brother has never hosted a banquet for the young Taoist priest. As the eldest brother, I am ashamed for not educating my younger brother well. I hope the young Taoist priest will not blame my third brother."

"What are you saying, eldest young master? The third young master has treated us two to good food and shelter. We are so grateful that we cannot thank him enough. How could we blame him? It's just a banquet. We can have it anytime." Li Daoxuan was not stupid, so he went with the flow.

The two of them talked back and forth, each trying to test the other's background.

Although Li Daoxuan was a social animal and had not experienced much intrigue, he still understood some social ways. He could guess what Boss Zhao meant with a little thought.

"It seems that Boss Zhao is also hiding something." Li Daoxuan smiled but muttered in his heart.
