68: Autumn Night Rain
"Bai Yujing in the sky, twelve cities on the fifth floor. The immortals caressed my top and gave me immortality. ”
As mentioned in this poem, Baiyujing, the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, has five floors and twelve cities. Among the five floors, the most important and highest status is the Xiuchun Building.
Xiuchun Lou is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, responsible for driving the guards, patrolling the world, checking for ills, and enforcing prisons. The weight of power can be called the first in the dynasty. The former owner of the building was the only one in the hundreds, and he personally mastered the Xiuchun Building as a clan. It seems that he is under the Son of Heaven alone, above all officials and all the people.
After the death of the Baili Duguan. The Chinese military officials of the imperial court all believed that the Son of Heaven would choose another person from the clan, or directly send a certain prince to serve as the new lord of the Xiuchun Tower. But in the end, the Son of Heaven surprised everyone and appointed the prince of the dynasty to serve as the owner of Xiuchun Building.
When the court Taifu is also a strange person. When he was young, he served in the public service, and he didn't know how many big and strange cases he had solved, and how many big and evil murderers he had arrested. When Xiaoxiao on the rivers and lakes hears the name of Taifu, he often hasn't seen anyone yet, and he has been frightened.
Taifu martial arts is not only a first-class master in the world, but also full of economy, rich and rich, which can be called both civil and military. When today's son was still the prince, he was taught to read by the prince in the East Palace. Therefore, when today's son has great trust in Taifu, he not only named him Taifu, but also canonized him as "Loyal and Brave Marquis".
Taifu had no children and no daughters in his life, but he adopted four orphans as apprentices. not only taught them martial arts, but also taught them the great principles of how to behave in the world. After these four people grew up, they also joined the public family and served the imperial court. Immediately, under the guidance of Taifu, he joined Xiuchun and served as the head of the stall. Holding the "Peaceful Jade Jue" given by the Son of Heaven, officials below the fourth grade can be cut first and then played.
The four stalls have their own nicknames, which are "amorous and tender, soul-grabbing". The rivers and lakes collectively call them the "four major stalls".
Among them, the first amorous is a woman, whose real name is "Yulin Ling". Once in a small town in Liaodong, indirect contact with Cheng Li was made, but the two sides never really met.
In second place, it is said that she is also a woman. It is rumored that she has the deepest internal strength among the four major stalls. No, Cheng Li didn't have any degree of contact with her.
The third ranked snatcher, whose real name is Water Dragon. He loves fine wine, and he loves beautiful women even more. is suave and suave, and is a character who "has been in the midst of thousands of flowers, and not a single leaf has touched his body". He used to be known as "Fenglang Jun Xi Yinchun" and walked on the rivers and lakes. It is considered to be the first among the young generation of Jianghu. Cheng Li and he met in the previous incident of selling gold caves at sea. The two sides were born and died together, and formed a very deep friendship.
The ecstasy of the four stalls at the bottom is the autumn night rain. It is said that he was withdrawn and taciturn by nature, but he was extremely skilled in swordsmanship. Listening to Shui Longyin's introduction, this fourth junior brother has a stoic personality, and the stronger he becomes, the stronger he becomes, and there is no retreat. The shot is ruthless, often sealing the throat with a sword. That's why it's called ecstasy.
The two Dharma Protector Elders on the left and right of the Lei family, Lei Teng and Lei Zheng, have never seen autumn night rain. But the names of the four major stalls in Xiuchun Building, no one in the world knows it, and no one knows it? So when I suddenly saw this person, coupled with the verses he recited in his mouth, the two Dharma Protector Elders immediately knew that the other party was ecstasy!
Autumn Night Rain looked cold, standing on the hilt of the sword with one foot, condescending, looking down on the audience. The body of this sword seems to be very soft, and it is as narrow as a snake. Not to mention adults, even if it is a three-year-old child, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold on it. But the autumn night rain stood as steady as Mount Tai, and the whole body did not tremble. This hand alone can already be seen to be as high as its light skills, and it is by no means inferior to its swordsmanship.
Suddenly, hearing Lei Teng and Lei Zheng blurt out their names, Qiu Yeyu snorted coldly, and said, "Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall Lei Family, do you also know me?"
Lei Teng and Lei Zheng glanced at each other, and deeply felt that those who came were not good, and those who were good did not come. This ecstasy came too coincidentally, and things were tricky. But the four major stalls are not sesame mung bean officials, and they should not be underestimated. At that moment, Lei Zheng stepped forward with a hard head, clasped his fists and bowed his hands, and saluted: "The four major stalls of Xiuchun Building are prestigious, and the rivers and lakes are like thunder. Of course, our Lei family has also admired it for a long time. ”
Qiu Yeyu sneered: "Since you know Qiu, you should know that Qiu is also an official of the imperial court." How dare you make a move against the imperial court officials in front of your own officials? Hmph, what a bold man!"
In fact, Lei Teng shot at the county magistrate in front, and Qiu Yeyu appeared behind. So the phrase autumn night rain is actually a bit strong. But he is an official, and Lei Teng and Lei Zheng are the people. The people do not fight with the officials. What's more, even if you want to fight, you can't win at all.
Lei Zheng was helpless, and said with a smile: "The head of the Qiu Da stall is serious. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. We ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Yeyu had already taken the lead in snorting heavily. shouted: "This official is ordered by the Son of Heaven to patrol the world and strictly investigate lawlessness. When I came to Hangzhou, what I saw, what I heard, and what I heard was everywhere how your Lei family was rampant and domineering, and the great achievements in the fish and meat township. Hehe~ I think Lei Wanjun has been the emperor of the soil for too long, so much so that he thinks he is the real emperor, right?"
These few sentences can be said to be extremely serious. Although the Lei family has a certain degree of ambition because of the appearance of the glazed treasure knife. But now that the ten strokes haven't caught a glimpse, how dare Lei Teng and Lei Zheng openly say in front of outsiders, "Our Lei family just wants to be the real emperor"? You need to know that the two of them have no water in their brains.
No matter how short-tempered Lei Teng is, he also knows how wrong it is to say at this time. So I had to keep my mouth shut and sulk by myself. Lei Zheng continued to laugh and said: "Qiu Da stall, it's really a big misunderstanding. Our Lei family has always been loyal and patriotic, and has never dared to have the slightest disobedience. And hearsay may not be accurate. But ......"
Lei Zheng paused, and said in a deep voice: "The county lieutenant of this county, Lei Dachuan, the official of the ninth grade, Lei Dongqing, the head of the left team of the county government, Lei Chi Falcon, the head of the right team, and Lei Fengyu, Lei Shi, Lei Wuwei, etc., a total of six people, are indeed killed by the murderer Cheng Li in this public court just now. It was only to protect the magistrate that we took the risk to force this ruthless thief back. Please be aware of it. ”
Qiu Yeyu turned around, glanced at Cheng Li, and said expressionlessly: "Oh, you are Cheng Li?
Cheng Li smiled faintly: "The Black Demon God Monarch doesn't dare to be anything." I am Cheng Li. Qiu Da stall, Xi Yinchun is okay?"
Qiu Yeyu nodded: "The third brother has been doing well recently. Brother Xie Cheng cares. This time I got the news from Senior Brother Huang, and the third brother should have taken a trip. However, in Xiangxi, a strange case happened some time ago. The second and third brothers both went over to check. The eldest sister wants to sit in Xiuchun Building again, and she can't move lightly. I'm the only one who is the most free, so I'm here. Brother Cheng doesn't mind, right?"
The master of the four stalls is the prince of the dynasty, Zhongyonghou. And Taifu and Wulinqi Tianyi are brothers. Therefore, the heir of Tianyi Jushi, Huang Lei, the owner of the third floor of Canghai Yueming Building, and the four stall heads can also be regarded as brothers. This is not a secret in the martial arts.
But not long ago, Lei Jiacai colluded with Badoutang in an attempt to trap Huang Lei and kill him. Now that I suddenly heard the words "Senior Brother Huang" again, Lei Teng and Lei Zheng, as well as other Perak Hall disciples, all felt "click~" on the spot, and I felt very bad.
Cheng Li didn't look at the Lei family, and said: "The four stall leaders are united, and everyone is the same." Last night, I asked the owner of the Yellow House for an arraignment. The autumn stall is here now. I guess I was in a hurry all night, and I didn't even sleep. Laborious. ”
Qiu Yeyu waved his hand and said, "It's just a few hundred miles away." It's nothing. The stakes are very high, not to mention not sleeping for one night, even if it doesn't fit your eyes for three days and three nights, it's just a daily routine. So Brother Cheng, what you said in your letter about the glass treasure knife is all true?"
Cheng Li's jaw said: "It's true." 'Where to find the blessed land of the cave, the glass under the moon ascends the fairy spoon'. The secret contained in this sentence has been unraveled by me. However, in order to truly enter the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and embark on the road to ascend to the Immortals, it is necessary to have a complete glass treasure sword. ”
Qiu Yeyu asked, "What is a complete glass treasure knife?"
Cheng Lidao: "The glazed treasure knife is composed of three parts. They are the child knife, the mother knife, and the crystal bead. The integration of the three is the complete glass sword. Both the mother and the son are here with me. But ......"
After a pause, Cheng Li turned around, glanced at Lei Teng and Lei Zheng, and said calmly: "The Lei family of Thunderbolt Hall, the hot hand killed the koi dart bureau all over the door and snatched the crystal beads. He also plotted to snatch the two swords of the son and the mother, so the wicked man sued first, and poured dirty water on my head. ”
Qiu Yeyu's face sank, and he glanced at everyone in the Perak Hall, and said coldly: "If this is the case, the heart of the Perak Hall can be punished, and its actions can be punished! The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The court will never allow anyone to ignore the laws of the court and cover the sky with one hand. ”
Cheng Lijaw said: "Yes, I think so too." That's why I came to this county government to report to the official, and I want to ask the county official to give me back a clean slate. Unexpectedly, among the county officials, they were all controlled by people surnamed Lei. I went to court, and before I could say a few words, the people of the Lei family had already done something to me, shouting and killing. Qiu Da stall head, what do you think I should do in this situation?"
Qiu Yeyu's eyes were solemn, and he said in a condensed voice: "Since the public court has become a private court, Brother Cheng naturally has no need to tie his hands and feet. What to do, what to do. ”
Lei Zheng listened to the two of them sing and harmonize, as if he had sung a double reed with the lines in advance, and he felt bad in his heart. hurriedly said: "Qiu Da stall, don't listen to this murderer's words." Let him say that he is in a mess, after all, he killed the county Cheng. The law of the country does not tolerate the killing of officials by the people. Qiu Da stall, you can't bend the law for personal gain!"
Qiu Yeyu nodded and said, "That's right." It is true that the law of the country does not tolerate the killing of officials by the people. But...... Who said that Brother Cheng is a citizen?"
Lei Zheng was taken aback and asked, "He's not a citizen?"
Qiu Yeyu said indifferently: "Naturally, he is an official." Needless to say, he reached into his arms and took out a thing and held it high. He said loudly: "In the words of the saint, Liaodong is at ease in the village master Cheng Li, loyal and brave, upright." is in the grass, and the heart is attached to the court. Therefore, a special reward is given, and the embroidered spring building is sealed to the hundred households. He also gave a hoe to rape Yujue, hunt on behalf of the sky, and strictly investigate the lawlessness. Officials below the seventh rank can be cut first and then played. I hope that Cheng Qing's family will hold this hoe in the future, show the avenue, correct the law and discipline, drive away the evil atmosphere, and revitalize the dynasty to repay the emperor's kindness. Chin this. ”
Cheng Li smiled indifferently, stepped forward to take Yu Jue with both hands, and said, "Thank you Tianzi for your kindness." ”
This sentence means that from this moment on, Cheng Li is no longer a civilian, but a real official.
