Chapter 870: Helping Others
Lin Wan also did not hide it, nodded, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Mr. Qiu, this matter is indeed related to the Seventh Prince, and it is very important to us, and it is related to the life and death of five hundred soldiers." ”
Qiu Ming nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "The Seventh Prince went to Northern Xinjiang, and the person who Wanxin Duke wanted to inquire about was also in Northern Xinjiang, so it was naturally related to the Seventh Prince. After thinking about it, he frowned and said: "Qiu thought of a person, but he is not surnamed Xu, his surname is Gu, and he is a classmate and friend of mine." He missed the imperial examination that year because he was involved in a murder case in Jiangnan five years ago. If he had been there, I might not have been able to become the champion of both civil and military affairs that year. At least, the one who took the Chinese exam is most likely to be him. ”
Lin Wan was stunned, he didn't expect Qiu Ming's evaluation of this classmate surnamed Gu to be so high. Qiu Ming is known as the son of Jiangnan, and is respected and respected by all the scholars in the Great Feudal Kingdom, whether it is learning or political opinions, he is one of the best in the Great Feudal Country, and even Zhou Changan respects him very much.
However, there are two more important reasons why Qiu Ming is respected by scholars all over the world, one is because the Jiangnan Academy of the Qiu family is the largest, best and most famous academy in the Great Feng Kingdom, and the other is because Qiu Ming has taught and educated people in the past five years and has cultivated many very outstanding students, which can be said to be all over the world. And the most outstanding representative of them is last year's champion of liberal arts, and now Su Ziran, a celebrity next to the emperor.
Qiu Ming looked at Lin Wan lightly and continued: "This classmate of mine is surnamed Gu, his name is Wen'an, and the word is expected. The word 'expectation' was given to him by my father, who had high expectations for him. However, five years ago, a student died at Jiangnan Academy, and that student had had some unpleasant encounters with Wen An before his death. Therefore, the government thought that Wen An was the most suspicious and put him in prison. Although in the end, the government found out the truth of the matter, and the case had nothing to do with Wen An, but Wen An missed the imperial examination that year. Wen An thought that it was the fault of the government that delayed his future, so he was very dissatisfied with the government, and wrote an article satirizing the county officials who handled the matter at that time, which was widely circulated in Jiangnan Academy. He also offended the people of the government and left Jiangnan Academy. Wen An was originally an orphan taken in by my father, and he had nowhere else to go, no family, and even no friends except Jiangnan Academy. Where exactly he went, no one knows. ”
Lin Wan nodded slightly, thinking in his heart, since he was the only person Qiu Ming could think of, then there should be no mistake, frowning and asking: "Mr. Qiu, can you tell me all the things about Gu Wen'an, including his origin, his temperament, his preferences, his temperament, and also, to what extent do you have a relationship with him?"
Qiu Ming frowned and asked suspiciously, "What happened, did he do anything serious to the Seventh Prince?"
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Mr. Qiu, do you mean that it is possible that he will be unfavorable to the Seventh Prince?"
Qiu Ming was stunned, sighed lightly, nodded, and said, "Although Wen An never mentioned his family and life experience, I have been a classmate with him for many years, and I have also seen some clues. He seems to have a great hatred for the people of the royal family, and he also has some resentment towards the government. Wen An is an upright person, a pure heart, amiable to others, very smart, and extremely hard at studying. Once, when a martial arts senior came to visit his father in the academy, he saw that he had excellent muscles and bones, and he was a wizard who practiced martial arts, and wanted to take him as an apprentice. But he flatly refused, saying that he wanted to concentrate on his studies and did not want to be distracted from learning martial arts. I don't know what else he likes, he doesn't care about anything other than his studies. I have been a classmate with him for many years, and I often sleep together, so I can be regarded as very good friends. However, he always seemed to have a lot on his mind, and he refused to say, and I didn't ask. ”
Lin Wan listened to Qiu Ming's narration, looked at the sadness and regret in his eyes, and the painful look when he recalled, it was not difficult to imagine that the friendship between him and Gu Wen'an must have been very deep.
After listening to Qiu Ming's narration, Lin Wan found that there were indeed many similarities between this Gu Wen'an and the three masters. In his heart, he has roughly determined that Xu San's master should be Gu Wen'an in Qiu Ming's mouth.
Lin Wan didn't want to hide anything, waiting for Qiu Ming to finish telling Gu Wen'an's story. She carefully told Qiu Ming what happened to Zhou Tianqi in Baifeng Mountain, as well as the situation of the three masters of Baifeng Village.
After listening to Lin Wan's story, Qiu Ming nodded slightly, and asked thoughtfully, "Princess Wanxin suspects that Gu Wen'an is Xu San's master, right?"
Lin Wan nodded without hesitation and said, "According to what Mr. Qiu said, Wan'er thinks that Xu San's master of Baifeng Village should be Gu Wen'an, what does Mr. Qiu think?"
Qiu Ming nodded helplessly and said, "I really didn't expect that Wen An would go to Northern Xinjiang and fall into the grass." Over the years, I've been to many places and have been asking for news of him, but nothing has come of it. ”
Lin Wan thought about it, bit her lower lip lightly, and slowly spoke, "Mr. Qiu, Wan'er has a reluctant request, I wonder if Mr. Qiu is willing to help?"
Qiu Ming raised his eyes to look at Lin Wan, smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "As long as Qiu can help the Seventh Prince and Princess Wanxin, he will definitely do his best, Princess Wanxin will do his best." ”
Lin Wan smiled and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Qiu is serious, where is Wan'er qualified to tell Mr. Qiu what to do? Mr. Qiu is not helping me and the Seventh Prince, Mr. Qiu is for the country and the people, and he is helping the people of the world, just helping us by the way, and also helping your old friends." ”
Qiu Ming hooked his lips and smiled, nodded and praised: "Princess Wanxin is really good at talking! Say, what do you want Qiu to do?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Mr. Qiu can call me Wan'er, and call me Princess Wanxin, which will inevitably look rusty." ”
Qiu Ming nodded slightly, smiled lightly, looked at Lin Wan with a smile, and waited for her to say the ultimate purpose of coming here today.
Lin Wan thought for a while, and said: "If you can, Wan'er hopes that Mr. Qiu can write a handwritten letter to Gu Wen'an, as long as he is willing to cooperate with the Seven Princes to go out of the valley and successfully complete the delivery of disaster relief materials, we can also try our best to help him keep Baifeng Village and the people in Baifeng Village." ”
Qiu Ming frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Qiu can write this letter, but we don't know what entanglements there are between Wen'an and the royal family? We don't know what kind of order the four princes received, and whether they are willing to let Bai Fengzhai go? Whether Qiu's letter is useful or not? We are not sure at all. ”
