Chapter 200: Dragons and Tigers Don't Fight
Duanmu Xu never thought that this old gentleman in the primary school hall might be related to the Demon Sect, and because of himself, he would suddenly disappear.
And the trouble caused by the disappearance of the old gentleman to this Danzhou town found their heads at this time. Because someone saw that Duanmu Xu had gone to the elementary school hall to see the old gentleman.
The old gentleman has been in this Danzhou town for so many years and has never left. On the contrary, after Duanmuxu and them came, they disappeared. No matter how much the people of this town think, they will think that it has something to do with these strangers.
So, the people of Danzhou Town surrounded Duanmuxu and their residence. Let them hand over the old gentleman who taught.
If it is usual, if it is just a few people, they may not have the courage to surround these outsiders who obviously have a background. But this time is different from the past, and this is the work that the people of the entire Danzhou Town have put down their work, just because this time it is related to the disappearance of the old gentleman respected by the whole town, and it is also related to the studies of the children in the town.
Looking at the dense crowd of people outside, Duanmu Xu was in trouble. It's not that they can't rush out, but these people are ordinary people, and others just want an explanation. It's just that they can't give Duanmu Xu this statement.
After all, the people of Danzhou Town didn't dare to rush in, so they surrounded them like this.
Duanmu Xu: They are trying to figure out a way.
If you can't use force, how can you convince these people? Of course, if the identity of Duanmu Luojia's princess is clear, these people will only kneel and worship, and they will definitely not dare to surround here anymore. But none of this is the way they want.
Duanmu Xu thought for a while, then saw Fan Lu in the room, and said with a smile, "I remember that when I was in Huaishuo City, Brother Fan once said that he really wanted to go to the school to teach. At that time, there was naturally no school, and the primary school hall here, I don't know if Brother Fan can be wronged and teach here for a while. ”
Duanmu Xu mentioned this, and everyone present at the time remembered it. Duanmu Luojia remembers, and Pan Zhiyan also remembers. However, Pan Zhiyan was a little unhappy, "Brother Fan is teaching here alone, will we just walk away?"
Duanmu Luojia said, "After we go back, we will naturally arrange someone to take over, and it won't be too long, not to mention, Zhiyan, you can also stay." I don't know what Brother Fan thinks?"
Duanmu Xu mentioned it, Duanmu Luojia said that Fan Lu didn't want to be trapped here like this, but he heard that it wouldn't be too long, so he could only reluctantly agree.
"Then I'll stay too. Pan Zhiyan said.
With such a teacher who could substitute for teaching, Duanmu Xu and they pushed Fan Lu out, negotiated with the squire of Danzhou Town, and finally left with Duanmu Luojia and them.
After leaving this Danzhou Town, Duanmu Xu's mind was no longer on Shen Yin, but on the old man who was teaching. He is very urgent now, and wants to go to Uncle Huangfu and ask properly, but he doesn't know how to find it. At this time, he felt that he wanted to know more about Uncle Huangfu, he used to pay too little attention to things, and it was always arranged by Uncle Huangfu and pushed him forward, but now it is very different.
Especially about his mother, Uncle Huangfu didn't say a word about this kind of dear matter, and he ruined his previous opportunity to rescue his mother. If he had known about it a long time ago, then he would have done everything possible to recognize Luojia, and then the two would join forces, and there would always be a chance to take his mother out of the palace. In that way, a family of three can at least live a reunion life.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Xu finally understood why Uncle Huangfu didn't tell him, maybe in that case, his desire to take revenge would not be so strong.
However, revenge or not, in the end, it is still up to you to think about it. Although now, Duanmu Xu's desire for revenge is heavier, but at the same time, he is also a little dissatisfied with Uncle Huangfu.
Perhaps, his fate can't just be put in the hands of Uncle Huangfu.
Duanmu Xu looked at Luo Jia beside him, and he still had someone to protect.
For the time being, I couldn't find Uncle Huangfu, and the old teacher who taught was nowhere to be found, and Duanmu Xu had to pretend to find that Shen Yin again.
Suddenly, Duanmu Xu thought of something and laughed. Since the old teacher was related to the Demon Sect, the words he said at the beginning were no longer meaningless. But what does that mean exactly?
"Shi Long to Shi Hu, gold and silver are ten thousand five, who can see through it, buy Yangzhou Mansion. ”
Then why did the old gentleman deliberately say these words, and what was his purpose?
Is it really about Shen Yin? or is it something else?
Since he thought of the old teacher, he thought of the placement of the wooden benches and wooden tables in the school, and also thought of the magic circle he had seen, and also thought of the stone dragon and stone tiger, as well as the Wan Wanwu.
If these words were about Shen Yin, then this old teacher already knew where Shen Yin was, so why didn't he take it? Maybe he didn't need it anymore.
If these words mean otherwise, then the old gentleman wants to let more people hear them. He's waiting for someone.
So who is this old gentleman waiting for? At his age, he must be waiting for an old man. If he is related to the Demon Sect, then the person who has to wait for him will have nothing to do with the Demon Sect.
It's just that these words have not been passed out for a year or two, but for many years, but this old gentleman is still here, presumably he has not waited for the person he is waiting for.
For the Demon Sect, Duanmu Xu did not have a good impression. He remembered that in Master Fayin's dormitory before, Master Fayin had warned him, and then he really encountered the poisonous hand of Kongjian who had fallen into the demon in the purple bamboo forest. What the Demon Sect did was against heaven and humanity. This is categorically unacceptable to Duanmuxu.
Thinking all the way, Duanmuxu and the others went back to their homes and returned to Yangzhou City.
After the eldest princess listened to their experiences in Henghe Fengxiandu and Danzhou Town, she felt that this son-in-law could be regarded as having experienced to find the sinking silver. As for Fan Lu, who was detained to teach in Danzhou Town, and Pan Zhiyan, who volunteered to accompany him, the eldest princess arranged it, and naturally someone would replace them back.
Shen Yin had no result, and the eldest princess guessed what the imperial brother meant, so I was afraid it would be too early to go back.
Sure enough, the eldest princess's guess soon came true.
A decree came from Xianjing City, and the household servant went south, together with Bai Xu, the supervisor of the country, to assist Princess Subai in investigating the Lingnan sales.
Lingnan has always been wealthy, and over the years the taxes paid to the imperial court accounted for a considerable part of the entire Daxian.
However, due to the long distance between Lingnan and Xianjing, the sales of Hengbei and Hengnan provinces were not as timely as those of other provinces. At this time, the waiter of the household department went south, whether it was really intended to check the accounts, or just to create an opportunity for Bai Xu and Luo Jia to make contributions, the eldest princess couldn't help muttering in her heart.
Duanmu Xu's entrenchment in Yangzhou City was only a few days, and Wu Zhengrong, the head of the household, came.
This is to check the accounts of Hengbei and Hengnan, but it starts from Hengnan, although everything is headed by Princess Xubai, but there is always some meaning in it.
The eldest princess knew that the royal brother also had such a mind and wanted to get more money and food from Lingnan. Otherwise, the annual work did not start at all, and it never began to work at the end of the year.
The royal brother wants to enrich the treasury, and the eldest princess also recognizes it. But after all, she felt that sending this household squire didn't seem to be the original intention of the imperial brother, maybe it was someone else's intention.
The eldest princess told them about her thoughts and Duanmu Luojia, naturally to let them guard against the meaning of the household servant.
Since there is the emperor's will, and now that Princess Subai is in Yangzhou, the natural audit will naturally start from Hengnan Province.
The political envoy of Hengnan Bu was like a great enemy, and all the accounts of the year were brought up by the servants in the yamen for inspection by the people brought by the household servants.
Of course, Wu Zhengrong, the head of the household, naturally asked Princess Xubai for instructions on everything, and even specially asked Duanmu Xu's opinion. Everything is done according to the rules.
However, there are many accounts in this province after all, and it always takes some time to check and verify the accounts.
On this day of auditing, Fan Lu and Pan Zhiyan had already returned from Danzhou Town. With the gentleman sent from the county school above, the people of Danzhou Town are naturally indispensable. After all, the old gentleman is gone after all, and the children's studies cannot be delayed, and now that there is a gentleman from the official family in the county school, they feel that it is a good thing that they have finally received the attention from above.
As for the specific audit and accounting, Duanmu Xu doesn't have to do it in person after all, just wait for the people below to implement it. So these people continued to play in Yangzhou City, waiting for the results of the final audit.
Although it was a play, Duanmu Xu and they were not at ease after all. Especially the details of that Wu Shilang's background is unknown, and now he is doing such an important thing, there are too many people involved, and it is too important.
Sure enough, when Wu Shilang and his team checked the accounts, they finally found out that there was a big discrepancy between the money and grain payable in Hengnan Province and the actual payment.
The political envoy of Hengnan Province was extremely afraid, after all, at this time, he wanted to hand in the accounts after a slight adjustment, but he got a hint from the eldest princess that everything was handed over truthfully. But now some discrepancies have been found, how to level this account.
The political envoy was in a hurry, and although Wu Shilang found out that there was a discrepancy, he did not draw a conclusion, but reported the situation to Princess Xubai.
Before Duanmu Luojia said anything, the eldest princess unexpectedly admitted these accounts, and she had taken some money and food by herself, and took out all the money and food.
And the reason for her taking away the money and food, the eldest princess's explanation is very simple.
After the earth in Huazhou moved, I thought that the emperor would leave Beijing and go to Daishan to worship the sky, maybe he would go south, so that he could use it to receive the emperor at that time.
Naturally, others can't say such things, and no one believes them when they say them. However, when the eldest princess said this, others naturally believed it too.
What's more, the eldest princess admitted it, and these accounts have not been tampered with.
When Wu Shilang reported to Princess Xubai, he complimented him well.
The audit of Hengnan Province is about to come to an end, and it will end with the eldest princess taking out a lot of money and food.
Since the account of Lingnan is checked, after checking the Hengnan, it is natural to check the Hengbei.
After receiving great cooperation in Hengnan, Duanmu Xu and they got up and headed for Hengbei.
However, Qian Xiaoxiao and the others did not accompany them at this time, after all, since the incident with Henghai Tianchao, Xiao Zhanyuan's attitude towards Hengnan is a little difficult to understand.
In this way, the group passed through the third crossing and the five Yundu again, and came to Danzhou City, the capital of Hengbei.
As the head of a province, especially where Lingnan is located, Danzhou City is naturally extremely prosperous.
However, Duanmuxu and they did not receive such a warm reception here as Yangzhou City.
Xiao Zhanyuan even only showed his face when he received the holy decree, and then asked the political envoy of Hengbei to coordinate the audit and audit of the accounts.
After Duanmu Xu and them moved in, the matter of checking and checking the accounts was handed over to the household servant to deal with.
However, Duanmu Xu is not that they have nothing to do, but they have big things to do.
During this time, Duanmu Xu has been pondering about Shen Yin.
The Shen Yin of the year must be true, otherwise it would not have been spread so well, and the Demon Sect did have a large amount of wealth back then, and its whereabouts were unknown in the end.
The identity of the old gentleman in Danzhou Town is extremely crucial, but it cannot be checked.
The only thing I could do was the arrangement of the wooden stools and wooden tables that were somewhat similar to the patterns on the circle, as well as the four sentences of the old gentleman.
Duanmu Xu pondered like this. Suddenly it occurred to him that according to the calendar of the Daxian people, there are also corresponding zodiac signs, the dragon and the tiger cannot be opposed, one is ranked third, and the other is ranked fifth.
If you want to put the two against each other, there must be a shift. If the whole zodiac is re-encircled, if you want to make the two opposites, it must be one of the symmetrical points of the rabbits in it.
So what does that mean?
Duanmu Xu thought that this might be a change in the displacement of the Henghe, or maybe it was a change in the position of the sinking silver.
Then this sinking silver is not in the dragon, nor in the tiger, but perhaps in the rabbit. When he was in Yangzhou, Duanmu Xu asked what are the more famous mountains from Fengxiandu, among which Fan Lu mentioned a mountain, Yutu Mountain. And this Jade Rabbit Mountain is downstream of Danzhou Town, and it is not far from the Wuyundu below.
This is Duanmu Xu's guess.
This sinking silver is related to the Jade Rabbit Mountain.
