Volume 2 The Lights of Ten Thousand Homes Chapter 80 Qingzhou Talent
"Boss, it's not that we don't do things, it's these people...... Oh no, it's this case that's so weird. The man in court clothes said urgently.
Sima Ruian put his hands behind his back and walked a few steps before continuing: "What kind of bizarre thing is it?"
The man said with a happy face: "There was an old farmer in Jiaoshan who ate some eels and suddenly had a stomachache, and then died. The neighbor sued the old man's wife to the yamen, saying that she had framed the old peasant. But there is no evidence in this case, so I really don't know how to settle the case?"
Sima Ruian pondered: "Has there been a forensic examination?"
The man replied, "The old peasant was indeed poisoned and died. ”
Sima Ruian then asked, "Since he died of poisoning, why didn't he convict the woman?"
The man then said: "I have been an official for decades, and I still have this bit of eyesight. The old woman didn't seem to be telling a lie, if she was poisoned, it would be good to admit it at such an advanced age, and if she didn't admit it, she wouldn't have a few years to live. ”
Sima Ruian smiled: "This woman is innocent, let her go." ”
The man said strangely, "Boss, how do you know that she is innocent?"
Sima Ruian sighed: "This old farmer must have eaten the snake diet by mistake, the snake diet looks quite similar to the eel, if you put it in the water and shine it with the light of the fire, there are white spots under the abdomen, and the whole body floats on the surface of the water." After you go back, tell your county lord about it, and ask him to tell the villagers not to eat snake food again, and lose their lives. ”
The man hurriedly thanked him, led the horse and left.
Lin Ziyun saw the scene just now, admired Sima Rui'an's intelligence in his heart, and sighed at the fate of this person.
"Mr. Sima, I wonder if your old man still remembers me?" the demon laughed.
The girl was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't remember it. Sima Ruian glanced at Lin Ziyun and the demon, shook his head and smiled.
"Then let me ask you a question. The demon laughed.
Sima Ruian didn't greet the two either, and seemed to be a little more curious about the problem.
The demon said: "The palace is full of ninety-nine red lights, starting from zero, when the number of guests who step into the palace is a multiple of two, three, four, and five, one light will be extinguished, and only one lamp can be extinguished at most at a time." When the thirtieth guest enters the palace, how many lamps are there in the palace?"
Sima Ruian clapped his hands and laughed: "You are that ghostly girl, Su Xianggong's disciple, right?"
The demon smiled and replied, "How is your old man's health lately?"
Sima Ruian sighed heavily and said: "The country will die, and the people will be crippled, which is insignificant! Alas, ......"
Lin Ziyun made a junior salute and said, "Mr. has a splendid ambition in his heart, why do you sigh?"
Sima Ruian snorted coldly: "This is the will of heaven, and it will kill my Great Qin." Hmph, why are you young man talking so wildly? ”
The demon hurriedly pulled Sima Ruian and said, "Uncle, don't you know, Brother Lin is a cultivator, not a lie. ”
Unexpectedly, after Sima Ruian heard that Lin Ziyun was an immortal cultivator, he rushed with a sense of righteousness. He didn't seem to be the hunchbacked old man, standing there was a generation of Confucianism, a high mountain.
After Lin Ziyun felt the fierce momentum emanating from Sima Rui'an, he said in his heart: "Sure enough, the world is in chaos, demons and evils are born, and saints are born." This Sima Ruian has been famous in the world for a long time, and he has even penetrated a trace of heavenly power and cultivated spiritual power. ”
This person seemed to look down on Lin Ziyun, but it aroused a trace of stubbornness in his heart. Lin Ziyun said with a smile: "I thought that everyone in the world respects Sima Xianggong, who even political enemies have to admire, is a great man with ideals, responsibilities and a sense of responsibility." See you today, but that's it. ”
Sima Ruian was irritated by Lin Ziyun, and he was furious, and scolded: "Huangkou Xiaoer, I don't know how thick the sky is. ”
Lin Ziyun was not angry, but said, "Xianggong, do you know why your new law failed?"
To this day, Sima Ruian will not admit that his reform failed. Not long after he was implemented, Li Long died, and the new law was equivalent to being strangled in the cradle.
Lin Ziyun didn't give this person a chance to speak, and continued: "I have traveled all the way to Lizhou and Qingzhou. The common people are deeply poisoned by it, and everyone says that the harsh government is as fierce as a tiger, and the reform you think is actually just a more poisonous means of scraping the people's fat and ointment than poisoning the world's servitude and taxation. ”
Lin Ziyun was heartbroken, and Sima Ruian coughed angrily.
Lin Ziyun continued: "When Lin escorted Princess Zhang Le and his relatives, he met a woodcutter. ”
Sima Ruian suddenly said, "Have you ever been with Princess Zhang Le?"
Lin Ziyun sneered: "Exactly, I am friends with Qin Song, the invincible general of Tianbao. ”
Lin Ziyun said this, sighed and said: "Lin was born poor, lived with his sister since he was a child, and also longed that the new policy of Xianggong could bring different things to Daqin and bring changes to our lives. It can give the poor peasants in every household a full meal, and let the displaced people in the troubled times have a bite to eat. ”
Lin Ziyun sighed: "I once asked myself all night, why does my husband live in this world?"
"The eldest husband may hold a three-foot sword and kill no enemies. Maybe you should serve the country and do a career. However, Lin felt that the eldest husband should be born in the world to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of the study for the saints, and peace for all generations. ”
Lin Ziyun looked at him with a shocked face, and muttered "Establish a heart for heaven and earth...... Sima Ruian, who was trembling all over, continued: "Born in sorrow, died in peace. Sima Xianggong, how can you give up lightly when you have done something that no one has ever done before? Even though this road is bumpy and full of thorns. But thousands of students and thousands of people in the world are eager to wait for you to take this step. What reason do you have to give up?"
"Sima Xianggong, do you know how many people have been harmed for no reason because of a new law you implemented in front of the emperor? The woodcutter Lin met almost froze to death in the mountains. Lin asked him why he didn't follow the others to open up the wasteland and reclaim the land? As the prime minister of the dynasty, how could you know that the situation was not in danger? As a bachelor who everyone admired every day, how did you know that even if the people had cultivated good land, they had no rice to grow, and how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials under you were ready to make a move for this little new appropriation?
Sima Ruian seemed to have lost all his strength, bowed his head and remained silent. Suddenly, there was a light in his eyes, and he looked at Lin Ziyun and said loudly: "Listen to Mr. today, I read the book of sages in vain. I wonder if Mr. has any clever plan to solve the suffering of the people in the world?"
Lin Ziyun took a deep look at Sima Rui'an, and said secretly: "This person is really a contemporary master, this kind of attitude of seeking knowledge and thirst for talent, others say that this person has a withdrawn temperament, but in fact, he was born in a high place and saw the loneliness of seeing things that others can't see." ”
Sima Ruian was emotional, Lin Ziyun knew that he was just a lesson from history, and what he said really couldn't stand the gift of this contemporary master, so he hurriedly supported Sima Ruian.
At this moment, a woman wearing a long blue dress and a red and blue shirt on her waist rushed out. The girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a graceful figure and beautiful eyes. The woman said softly: "Daddy, are you not honest when you are a master at home?"
Sima Ruian smiled dotingly at the girl, and introduced to the demon and Lin Ziyun: "This is my daughter, Qing'er will entertain the guests quickly." ”
Sima Qing'er made a gesture of invitation to Lin Ziyun and the demon, and said to Sima Rui'an: "The guests have been standing at the door for a long time, and you are not invited, I don't dare to let people in." ”
Lin Ziyun said with a smile: "Miss Qing'er is serious, I and the demon girl came here today because we have something to discuss with Sima Xianggong, you don't have to be polite." ”
"There are a lot of people who come to Daddy these days, but they are all rejected. You guys are so lucky!" said Sima Qing'er with a smile.
She suddenly spoke up again: "Daddy, you haven't told me the answer to what your daughter asked you yesterday?"
Sima Ruianqi said, "When did you ask me a question yesterday?"
Sima Qing'er smiled and said: "Then let me tell you again, the master moved the books, three books were put together, and in the end there were two more books, five books were put together, four more books came out, seven books were put together, the extra six books were put together, nine books were placed together, eight more books came out, and eleven books were placed just right, and the master asked how many books there were at least?"
Sima Qing'er didn't go to see Sima Rui'an, but fell on Lin Ziyun.
Lin Ziyun smiled in his heart: "This girl must have seen me arguing with Sima Xianggong in the house just now, and deliberately asked me to test me?"
Sima Ruian seemed to really think that Sima Qing'er was asking him for advice, and he stretched out his finger to dip his finger in water and pointed to draw on the table.
Lin Ziyun said in his heart: "If the real person doesn't show his face, if he does, he will make you stunned." ”
"Two thousand five hundred and nineteen copies, I don't know if Miss Qing'er's answer is this?" Lin Ziyun said with a smile.
Although Sima Qing'er was scheming, but Lin Ziyun answered correctly, she had nothing to say.
Sima Rui'an's eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Ziyun with an incredulous face and said, "How did you figure it out?"
"Miss Qing'er's question just now, if you assume that there is one more book, it will be just stacked. Therefore, the number of books is a multiple of the number of stacks, that is, a multiple of three, five, seven, nine. Because nine is divided by three, it is an integer of three hundred and fifteen to the number of books. Because the number of books is an integer of eleven, we can find out that the Master's collection of books is 2,519 volumes. Lin Ziyun said.
Sima Ruian worked hard to use the elimination method and exhaustive method to solve the problem, but he never expected that there would be such a method to solve the problem, and he opened his mouth to praise: "Okay, Mr. is really clever, admire and admire." ”
Lin Ziyun said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Sima Xianggong, the students are still far behind." The demon girl just said about the lamp question, the kid thought about it for a long time, and he only thought of the answer when he saw Miss Qing'er just now. ”
Sima Rui'an, when the demons heard this, they all laughed, only Sima Qing'er didn't know why they were laughing.
"Brother Lin, are you laughing at Miss Qing'er for making things difficult for you?" the demon laughed and trembled.
Qingzhou is a place, the god of Zhong Tiandi is beautiful, gathering the handsomeness of the world's mountains and rivers. In early spring, it looks like a gentle woman in a boudoir to be married. On the bank of the Yanyun River, the willow tree sprouts, and it is the green eyebrows that she paints with a pen. The boxy terraces, fragrant wheat and golden gold, are her smudged flowers. The mist and rain dyed the ink-colored landscape, as if she was smiling and shy, and smiled.
On this day, on the Yanyun River, a small black canopy swayed and floated. The paddle swings lightly, the water ripples, and the spring water of the river is wrinkled.
The water waves are gentle, and a river is as blue as a green cloud. Looking from the boat, the fertile fields on both sides of the strait are beautiful and picturesque, but there are also many growing and declining grasses, branches are broken and intercepted, and the houses are lonely.
There was a drizzle of rain in the sky, and the rain fell on the body as if it were a cloud. It thickened, and the hair was curdled with raindrops. It approached quietly, quietly, and you were unguarded. The smoke and rain in Qingzhou suddenly broke into your eyes and your dreams.
On the small canopy boat, one old and one young. The old man stroked his beard, his eyes were long, and his face was pale and yellow. At the bow of the ship is a captain who boils water and boils wine. Xu has seen the waves and flowers, and the old man's brows are wrinkled. The old man fetched a jug of water and filled it with it.
The water boiled, and a pot of fine wine was warmed. The boatman rocked the oar and said, "Master, you have reached the boundary of Wangjiang Mansion. ”
Before the old man could speak, a handsome man with a sword beside him, dressed in a gorgeous costume and wearing a square scarf, spoke: "Coming along the river, it is full of devastation, this Qingzhou landscape is stained with blood, the world is buried in the bones, and the world is in danger. ”
This man in Chinese clothes was born in a wealthy family, with a pure nature, and everything he saw along the way was a homeless mourning. Xu is that cup of strong old wine woke him up from the tenderness of Qingzhou, and he couldn't help but feel sad for the suffering homeless people in the world.
Qingzhou's terrain is full of lofty mountains and mountains, and a small boat rides the wind down. The dangerous peaks on both sides of the strait overlapped, and the ape could not stop singing. One old and one young, can't help but arouse their hearts. I just feel that the ears are full of sad sounds, lingering in my heart, lingering.
The worry of the heart, I sing and Yao. Thin green smoke, scattered in the mountain clouds, sprinkled on the green of the river.
The boatman sang indulgently with an accent along the river: "A river of red water flows through the outer building of the building." Looking at the three ridges of the river, the four oceans, the silver of white flowers. Greedy for food, greedy for life, greedy for life and afraid of death, no matter whether the wife or son loses the old man......"
The boy in a Chinese costume is sentimental, and when he hears this song, his eyes are red. The sad song of the end times, the tears wet the long shirt. The prince of Huafu can only hate his iron sword as useless in his hand, and he can't kill the enemy's head.
Dark clouds, drizzle toppings. The sky is like a funnel, and the mountains that are more and more powerful dissolve into hills. In the rain, a few lonely birds stand on the branches and leap over the water. The moment of the shock, it was like the sword intent of destroying the world.
About half an hour later, the clouds passed and the sky was clear, and a wisp of green sun hung obliquely on the mountain, reflected in the water, which was extraordinarily bright and bright, and the purple and red were general.
An old man in a blue silk robe paced back and forth, and when the boy in a fancy dress saw him walking around, he was not troubled, and said, "Master, you can put your mind at ease." You are a master of swordsmanship, what are you worried about this sword competition?"
The white-eyed and long-bearded old man sighed and said, "I have been in retreat for more than 30 years, although I have realized a trace of mystery. This time I went south, but I was apprehensive. ”
Seeing that the old man was so cautious, the man in fancy clothes restrained his smile. He only said secretly in his heart: "That person is really so powerful? Master's Taishang Yuanji Sword Technique is already the world's first-class swordsmanship." ”
After a while, the boat arrived at the ferry, and the old and the young went ashore. The old man instructed: "Jing'er, in addition to swordsmanship for the appointment between the teacher and that person, there is another thing you must not forget. ”
When the man in Chinese clothes heard this, he solemnly replied, "Master, the apprentice remembers. ”
The young man in fancy clothes was walking slowly with his head down, scratched in the face by a furry thing. The man in the fancy dress was furious, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be a golden monkey.
The laundry woman by the river and the merchant who took the boat all laughed, and the man in fancy clothes was ashamed and scolded: "Where did you come from, the monkey, the master is going to skin you today." ”
The monkey landed in a small boat, scratching its head and grinning. Seeing that this beast dared to laugh at him, the young man in the costume couldn't help but pull out the sword at his waist.
"Look where you're going, you plague god. ”
This monkey actually peed in front of people, and the man in fancy clothes came over with a sword, and the monkey jumped on all four legs, dodged a sword, and jumped to a boat next door.
One person and one monkey, five or six small boats rolled overturned. Although the monkey was nimble, he did not know the nature of water, and jumped on a wooden plank swinging on the surface of the water.
The man in the Chinese costume slashed with a sword, and this little monkey would drown in the water if he did not die.
The sword light is like a rainbow, and a sword slashes. Suddenly, a splash of water rose from the river, like a dragon out of the water.
"Why are you bullying my little monkey? Out of the water came a boy of eleven or twelve, with his bun combed.
This boy is white and pure, and the man in fancy clothes has a good impression when he sees the whiteness of his birth. He smiled and said, "This monkey is not interesting, did you raise it?"
The boy in the water smiled and said, "I raised it, I can only bully it, why are you bullying?"
The young man in Chinese clothes said angrily: "Since you are his master, then I won't trouble that monkey, what do you say you should do?"
The white-faced boy stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "My little monkey decided fairly with you, and you can't take it even after more than 30 tricks." If I were you, I would slip away from you, so I wouldn't be ashamed. ”
The young man in Chinese clothes was magnificent, and said, "You kid, talk nonsense." Master has to catch you today, let you taste the power of my 'sword slapping double strands'. ”
"With you, you can't even catch grandpa's hair. The boy laughed and plunged into the water.
The young man in Chinese clothes said angrily: "There is a kind of you don't get into the water." ”
The boy saw that he did not know the nature of water, and that he was a landlubber, and he even frolicked in the water, which made him angry.
Although the young man in Chinese costume was angry, he restrained his sword moves so as not to injure the boy by mistake. It is because although the young man in Huafu is strong in martial arts, there is nothing he can do about that boy.
The young man in the Chinese costume jumped to his feet angrily and scolded: "Shameless boy, do you dare to show up?"
The boy seemed to be bored when he saw that the boy in the fancy clothes couldn't do anything with him for a long time. He got out of the water, crossed his hands on his hips, and said, "Come out, come out, I don't expect you to have a good move." But if you want me to come out and fight with you, I have a request. ”
The young man in Huafu held his own martial arts, and he didn't take the child in his eyes at all. He was afraid that the boy would stay in the water, and when he came out, everything would be fine.
He looked handsome, the jade tree was in the wind, and said with a smile: "You say, what are the requirements?"
