79 [Man is not for himself]
"I've heard the name Pan Xu." While feeding the little fourth son, Gongsun asked Zhao Pu, "It happened a few years ago, I have always heard how powerful he is, but he was suddenly exposed to evil and killed many people...... Why is this Pan Laosan? ”
Zhao Pu shook his head with some regret, "I was worried about fighting when Pan Xu was evil in Kaifeng, so I wasn't very familiar with it, but then I heard someone say something about him, tsk......" As he spoke, Zhao Pu shook his head, "It's a pity that I can't kill him." ”
"So bad?" Gongsun was curious, "What did he do?" Is it corruption or murder? ”
"He's done it all." Master Pang held a wine glass and shook his head while drinking.
Everyone looked at each other - ah, worse than Master Pang?
Master Bao seemed to like Xiao Wu a lot, and took a skewer of barbecue to tease him, "Pan Xu, how can you say it, that sentence is really suitable for him if he doesn't kill the heavens and the earth for himself." ”
"People don't destroy heaven and earth for themselves?" Gongsun repeated, "This sentence is the best reason for many people to do evil!" ”
"Pan Xu was born in Jiangmen, and he is different from ordinary gentlemen, he is ambitious and desperately wants to climb up." Pang Ji sighed twice, "The ancestors of the Pan family did have merit in assisting the emperor, but it is a pity that the people withered. Pan Xu's father Pan also died on the battlefield in his early years, leaving his orphans and widows to stay in Kaifeng. Although there are a lot of money every year, many of his father's colleagues have already been in Kaifeng and have made a name for themselves. And Pan Xu is also a military general, and he refuses to go to the barracks, and he has no connections in the court, so his career is not smooth. ”
"A military general is not a soldier? For what? Gongsun was curious.
"What future can he have in the barracks?" Ouyang Shaozheng nibbled on a roasted chicken leg, "The prince of the military camp is in charge, and several generals are younger than him, and he has a limited future if he wants to climb up." ”
"So he stayed in the Imperial City." Gongsun nodded, "That can be the commander of Huang Chengjun, the second-rank general, is also very powerful." ”
"No one has ever said that Pan Xu can't do it, but if he is capable, he must pay attention to methods." Bao Zheng said lightly, "Pan Xu is unscrupulous in order to climb up, he has killed a lot of people along the way, and in addition, his ambition is more than that." ”
"What else? Plotting to usurp the throne? ”
"Almost, but it didn't materialize, and someone found out." As he spoke, Bao Zheng glanced at Zhan Zhao, who was munching on beef skewers on the side.
Everyone looked at Zhanzhao and seemed to be in a good mood when they ate, I don't know when Lu Dao was full, and talked about this Pan Xu.
Zhanzhao finished nibbling on the beef skewers, went to get a skewer of mutton skewers, and when he looked up, he saw everyone looking at him and blinking.
Bai Yutang took a piece of soft white silk and wiped his mouth.
Zhan Zhao took a sip of the wine glass, and the little fourth son hurriedly filled it for him.
Zhan Zhao probably also knew that everyone in the Dao Dao noticed that he was a little different, and said slowly, "Things started seven years ago. ”
Everyone was stunned - did it take so long?
Bai Yutang was also quite surprised.
The fourth son snapped his fingers - he wasn't born seven years ago!
"I went down the mountain at the age of sixteen to enter the rivers and lakes, ate the world's food all the way, meddled all the way, met a few friends in one place, and lived very happily." As soon as everyone heard this, they were a little powerless - Zhanzhao, a Nanxia, was famous all over the world, and everyone thought that he was nosy all the way, but now that I think about it, his itinerary may be set according to the world's food, for example, I went to Shuzhong today, in order to eat hot pot, but I didn't expect to run into nosy, I ate hot pot after being nosy, and then went to Qiangui to eat steamed pot chicken, and then went to Hangzhou to eat West Lake vinegar fish, and I was nosy while eating...... Nosy is for eating.
Thinking about it this way, everyone had some impulse to hold their foreheads.
"I have been in the rivers and lakes for a while, and once I got lost......"
Before Zhan Zhao finished speaking, everyone looked at him suspiciously - once lost? Aren't you always getting lost?
Zhan Zhao frowned and continued to nibble on meat skewers, which meant - I didn't want to hear it.
"Let's talk about cats." Xiao Sizi continued to pour wine for Zhanzhao doggedly.
Zhan Zhao touched the head of the little fourth son, and then said, "When I asked for the way, it was too late to rush to the next town store before dark, so I had to sleep in the wilderness." I happened to pass by a ruined temple on a small hillside, and it was still raining, so I took Duoduo in to avoid the rain.
When I entered the ruined temple, I saw a light inside, and it turned out that someone in the temple had set up a pile of firewood and lit a fire, and was sitting next to the firewood and grass and drinking.
Everyone then listened, Jianghu people, a broken temple, a bonfire, a pot of wine, and a night, which can be regarded as some kind of unique feelings.
"The man was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, more than ten years older than me, wearing a beige robe, a wine bag in his hand, a knife and a burden in his hand." Zhan Zhao said as he seemed to recall the scene of meeting at that time, "He was quite tall, tall but thinner, and his hair was amber, which was rare, and he combed it at random and tied it at the back of his head, and when he saw me enter the door, he glanced at me." ”
"What does he look like?" The little fourth son was curious, and Zhanzhao seemed to be very impressed by him.
"You're handsome." As soon as Zhanzhao's words came out, the fourth son asked, "Is there Bai Bai Handsome?" ”
"It's a different feeling." Zhan Zhao shook his head.
Bai Yutang drank with a wine glass.
"Is there a ninety-nine handsome?" The little fourth son then asked.
Zhan Zhao smiled, "It's not like it, he feels very gentle, gentle, and soft-spoken." ”
"Is it a student?" The little fourth son thought for a while, "If you still have a knife, does your father also carry a knife, and does it look like your father?" ”
After everyone heard this, they all wondered if they looked at Gongsun - you still have a knife? Where's the knife?
Gongsun was embarrassed.
"It's not like, he's not the type who is amazing at first sight, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye, his appearance is very upright, his eyes are beautiful, and he gives people a sincere feeling when he looks at people." Zhan Zhao smiled, "You will feel it when you look at him, huh? This must be a good person, such a feeling. ”
"What's it called?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Wind Falls." Zhan Zhao opened his mouth, but it was a little desolate, "Ranger Wind Falling Rock." ”
In fact, strictly speaking, there are Bai Yutang who is a Jianghu person of the True Sect, Gongsun is a sheng, and the others are officials or soldiers, and I don't know who this ranger Feng Luoyan is, only Bai Yutang frowned slightly and was silent, as if he had thought of something.
"Heard?" Zhao Pu asked Bai Yutang.
"I've not only heard of it, I've seen it." Bai Yutang spoke.
"Well, he's seen you too." Zhan Zhao nodded with a smile.
Bai Yutang was a little strange and asked Zhanzhao, "He told you?" I didn't know him, I had only met once. ”
"Yes, he didn't say he knew you, but he said he had seen you." Zhan Zhao smiled, "After he knew me for a while, he asked me if my current descendants are so powerful?" I've seen a guy surnamed Bai before, who is about the same age as you, has a big temper and good kung fu, but he is not as energetic as you, and that old-fashioned Hengqiu is like someone owes him hundreds of taels of silver. ”
"Poof......" everyone laughed.
Bai Yutang was a little helpless, "The time I saw Fengluoyan, it seemed to be a martial arts event. ”
"What did you do when you were a teenager at a martial arts event?" Zhan Zhao was curious.
"To be exact, my master took me and then lost myself." Bai Yutang seemed slightly dissatisfied when he said this.
Everyone admired Tianzun a little.
Zhan Zhao also understood why Bai Yutang was so young, and the rumors in the rivers and lakes were so weird, most of them said that he had a very bad temper or something...... It is estimated that when he was looking for Tianzun to get on fire, some people saw that he was young and his mouth was not inferior, of course, it was most likely that some people who were not long-eyed praised him for his good looks, so he was beaten.
"I went into the ruined temple to hide from the rain and talked to him." Zhan Zhao continued, "That time he was looking for a kidnapped child for a couple, and there was a group of mountain bandits on the mountain not far away, who often committed crimes. ”
Everyone nodded, no wonder he was called a ranger, and he probably liked to do good things and be nosy.
"After rescuing the child together, I became good friends with him, brothers are commensurate, I call him big brother, he calls me little brother, and then we often meet, as soon as we meet, we drink and chat together, he takes very good care of me, and he has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and tells me a lot of things." Zhan Zhao sighed, "About four years ago, when I met him again, it was near Kaifeng, and he was catching two thieves.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh that this ranger was really nosy to a certain level.
"After I helped him catch the thief, he handed it over to Pan Xu."
As soon as Zhan Zhao's words came out, everyone was surprised - why did you give it to Pan Xu?
"Pan Xu had a good reputation in the early years." Pang Ji helped explain, "None of the people of Kaifeng said that he was not good, oh? As he spoke, he asked Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng nodded, "At that time, the security of Kaifeng was still all in charge of the Imperial City Army, and Kaifeng Mansion did not have as many garrisons as it does now, nor did it have such a large scale, and any difficult criminals were handed over to Pan Xu's Imperial City Army to arrest." ”
After thinking about it, everyone thought that it was true, very few officials would have a master like Zhanzhao, no matter what thief could be caught, and ordinary masters should not send troops to help.
"Is Fengluoyan helping Pan Xu?" Bai Yutang asked, "The relationship is very good?" ”
"It's the same brother." Zhan Zhao said lightly, "Their personalities are completely opposite, Pan Xu is eager for quick success, and Fengluoyan is at peace with what happens, but God favors it, whether it is appearance, temperament, kung fu and resourcefulness, Fengluoyan is above Pan Xu, the only thing that can't compare to him is probably that he doesn't have that wolf's heart and dog lungs." ”
Everyone frowned.
"This mansion actually didn't know the Feng Shaoxia who I knew before the Zhan Guard, this person is really funny, and kind-hearted, and likes to laugh and be easy-going. I invited him to the house to drink, and the maids were fascinated by him one by two. Mr. Bao shook his head as he spoke, and seemed to recall some beautiful scenes back then.
Pang Ji held his face, "He still gives you face, he will go if you invite him to dinner, and the old man has invited him to dinner a few times, but he doesn't pay attention to me." ”
"Who called you a corrupt official?" Bao Zheng glared at him.
Ponji pouted.
"Isn't he a quack?" Gongsun wondered, "The Lord and the Taishi also know each other?" ”
"Oh, I know." Bao Zheng nodded, "It's also a coincidence, there was a demon sect making waves for a while, when I solved the case, I found that they were going to assassinate the emperor when they were sacrificing to the sky, and in the process of investigating, I found that someone was secretly helping me, it was Fengluoyan." It turned out that he was originally helping Pan Xu catch the thieves, but he felt that those thieves seemed to be secretly plotting something, and found out the plan to assassinate the king, so he secretly came to inform me. ”
"In fact, he not only notified Bao Zheng, but also Pan Xu." Taishi Pang sneered, "But the strange thing is that Pan Xu didn't notify Bao Zheng or me, didn't even remind the emperor, didn't tell anyone...... Instead, he used all means to prevent Feng Luoyan from interfering in this matter again. ”
"For what?" Gongsun was a little puzzled, "Are you worried that Fengluoyan will steal the limelight from him or do you have a ghost in his heart?" ”
"It's all there." Bao Zheng spread his hands, "Fortunately, Feng Luoyan informed me, and after I started to investigate the matter, I informed the emperor." The Forbidden Palace Army took strict precautions, and later the assassination was taken down by Nangong...... For this reason, Pan Xu was very displeased. ”
"Wind Falling Rock is really smart." Pang Ji held his chin and seemed to feel sorry, "He caught the remnants of the Demon Sect by touching the vine, Bao Zheng and I strongly recommended him in front of the emperor, and the emperor also intended to recruit him as an official, but people were unwilling." ”
"It's all said to be a ranger." Bai Yutang shook his head, "He looks like he is a fool, and it is impossible for him to be an official." ”
At that time, the emperor was still a little naughty, after all, he was young, so Nangong Ji inquired about Fengluoyan. I don't know which one Nangong found for him to say back, and the emperor was itching, so he had to make friends with this hero, so he pretended to be my nephew and met Fengluoyan. After chatting for a few words and dealing with it for a while, the emperor became commensurate with his brother.
"He mentioned that there was a Bao brother, which was very interesting." Zhanzhao asked Bao Zheng, "It turned out that you were talking about the emperor?" ”
Bao Zheng nodded.
"And what happened next?" Xiao Sizi heard them say that this Fengluoyan was dead before, and he felt that it was a pity, it would be good if he was still alive, and Kaifeng Mansion must be even more lively.
"Ugh." Pang Ji shook his head, "The fault is that he is too smart, he always feels that there are still some things that the Demon Sect has not understood, so he digs deeper." ”
Zhan Zhao also nodded, "He mentioned it to me, and he always felt that some things didn't make sense. ”
"Should it be ......," Bai Yutang asked, "After finding the most luxid, but finding Pan Xu?" ”
"Huh." Bao Zheng sneered, "Pan Xu colluded with the Demon Sect and foreign clans to seek to usurp the throne. Originally, Ji Lu drew very well, but he didn't expect to let Fengluoyan spoil a good thing, in order to hide people's eyes, he killed those demon cults and foreign accomplices, but unfortunately, the paper can't hold the fire. ”
"That's troublesome." Bai Yutang frowned, "Feng Luoyan must have thought of his fellow disciples and wanted to let him go." ”
"Fengluoyan found Pan Xu and asked him not to make mistakes again, so there is a limit to being a good person sometimes." Bao Zheng shook his head, "Fengluoyan was plotted by Pan Xu and died tragically. ”
Everyone frowned when they heard the word "tragic death", but they felt that it was too unworthy, because what heroes and heroes were the most lost in the hands of some villains.
"Wind Rock just disappeared silently." Zhan Zhao sighed, "Coincidentally, I asked him to drink before, and he is a heavy promise, and he will definitely do what he promised, and he has never broken his promise." And I also know that he was investigating Pan Xu before, so I looked for clues from Pan Xu. ”
"Then again." Pang Taishi suddenly said faintly, "To deal with people like Pan Xu, Fengluoyan can't do it, and his kung fu is not good than him, and he can't stand him from playing yin, so he has to show this kind of guard." ”
Everyone was puzzled, "What do you say?" ”
Pang Ji touched his chin, "It's not that I'm boasting, to deal with Pan Xu, there are two people who are most suitable for the whole Kaifeng, one is me, and the other is Zhanzhao." ”
The corners of Lord Bao's mouth twitched, "Don't put gold on your face, do you want face?" ”
"Go!" Pang Ji pouted, "I still don't believe it, dealing with a slut like Pan Xu, either it's like me, more cheap than him, or it's like a guard, wilting bad!" ”
The crowd pressed the corners of their mouths.
The fourth son raised his face and asked Gongsun, "What's bad for Daddy?" ”
Gongsun thought for a moment.
Zhao Pu leaned over and stuffed a soup bag into the mouth of the little fourth son, while explaining, "It doesn't look bad at all, a bad belly, the face is very white but the belly is black!" ”
After Zhao Pu finished speaking, everyone nodded, and the little fourth son drilled over to lift Zhanzhao's clothes to see his belly, and Zhanzhao pinched his cheeks - against you, dare to tease adults!
Gongsun hurriedly grabbed the little fourth son back, and the little fourth son was full of thoughts - black belly, black belly, black belly......
"With Pan Xu's character, he should destroy the evidence and never suffer in the future, how did you find his flaws?" Bai Yutang asked.
"It's all about it." Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "I've been with him for about half a month." ”
Everyone's eyelids twitched, it was terrifying...... Zhan Zhao's light skills are excellent, and he walks without sound, like a cat, he is like a ghost and is silent, and when it is critical, people will swallow flying, and being followed by him is almost no different from being ghosted, Pan Xu is estimated to be restless.
"You scared him?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Clever, you're also bad?" Zhan Zhao teased Bai Yutang, the little fourth son subconsciously looked at Bai Yutang's belly, and Gongsun glared at Zhao Pu fiercely - this time the little fourth son should see who looks at whose belly, call you nonsense!
"I did follow him, and not silently." Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "I found someone to make a set of clothes that Feng Luoyan usually wears, and tied a hair similar to his, for the sake of realism, I also made some amber silk mixed in his hair, and often acted as his back spirit at night." ”
Everyone subconsciously took a breath of cold air - it's broken!
Gongsun smiled, "He killed Fengluoyan with his own hands, wouldn't he think that the ghost would come to him for revenge, and he must not be driven crazy?" ”
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "The first time I scared him, he looked depressed, I felt that there was a problem!" ”
Everyone nodded - indeed, Fengluoyan is his fellow disciple, that is, a friend, it stands to reason that even if he sees Fengluoyan in the middle of the night, he doesn't have to be afraid, seeing it is like seeing a ghost, and he must have done something wrong.
Zhan Zhao continued, "I scared him a few more times, and once he drank too much, he went crazy in the yard and said something like 'you are dead and you still refuse to let me go' or something." ”
Everyone knows.
"After that, of course I want to avenge my brother, it's not difficult to kill Pan Xu, but I can't be so cheap for him." Zhanzhao's eyes were cold, "I started to collect evidence of his crimes, okay, I don't know what to do if I don't investigate, it's a lot of crimes, and he still has a good reputation all day long, hypocrite, the more I think about it, the more angry I become!" ”
Seeing that Zhanzhao was angry with the beef balls, Xiao Sizi poured him another glass of wine.
"After that, Pan Xu's official luck was smooth." Pang Ji hehele, "But one early in the morning, Kaifeng was plastered with all kinds of lists, all the way from outside the gate of Kaifeng Mansion to the gate of the palace, and it was densely detailed with every bad thing Pan Xu had done. ”
"Actually, how long have you been writing about those things?" Zhao Pu seemed to have been puzzled by this question for a long time, and asked Zhanzhao, "There are so many words, let's write it for three or four months, and in triplicate, one is pasted all over the imperial city, one is placed on the emperor's dragon case, and one is placed in Lord Bao's room." ”
"It's just one night." Zhan Zhao was slightly proud.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then pointed at him with meat skewers - deceitful!
Zhanzhao frowned.
"Senjusheng wrote it to you, right?" Bai Yutang asked, "There is a master in the Demon Palace, known as Wei Qian, who is born with a thousand hands. ”
Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and nodded at Bai Yutang, "Insightful, worthy of being Tianzun's apprentice."
"Thousand Hands?" The little fourth son was hit again after the black belly.
Zhan Zhao rubbed his face, "He practiced a thousand palms, and he used copying to practice, usually he can finish copying a book with a cup of tea, god." ”
Bao Zheng nodded, "It's such a talent...... The Demon Palace is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”
"Isn't Pan Xu ruined?" Bai Yutang asked.
"The emperor is furious, especially after knowing that Pan Xu murdered Fengluoyan." Bao Zheng shook his head, "Pan Xu didn't admit that he died, but unfortunately the evidence was conclusive, he was supposed to be beheaded, but he took out the promise of the emperor to his ancestors to save his life, so the emperor sent him to northern Xinjiang." ”
"He should be in the extreme cold, how did he get here?" Bai Yutang frowned.
"He should indeed be in northern Xinjiang, but this kind of thing, when he arrives in northern Xinjiang, the emperor will be far away, maybe he bought the guards, and randomly got a prisoner to replace him, and when the time comes, he will say that he is dead, and he will go to the Baizhou Mansion incognito. It's far away from Feng here, no one will know him, and there are not 10,000 people in the world with the name Pan Xu, but also 8,000, after a few years, people's appearance will change, and if they change their clothes and leave a beard or something, they can become another person. Bao Zheng shook his head, "There is no proof of death." ”
"Then it's a matter of rivers and lakes." Zhao Pu held his chin, looked at Zhan Zhao and then at Bai Yutang, "You two can kill him any of them, this kind of person will not die and will be harmful, after all, it will be a disaster." ”
Bai Yutang nodded to Zhan Zhao - you can consider it.
"That's a good idea." Zhan Zhao hugged his arms, "But it's not that cheap for him!" ”
"And what do you want?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Tianmu's case is complicated, and it must be no good thing to have him in peace." Zhan Zhao ate all the meat skewers, took the bamboo skewer and shook it, "Find out the evidence of his guilt and let him bow to the law again, this time he will definitely be sent to the dog's head!" ”
After eating the hot pot, there was a thick layer of snow in the yamen, and the little four sons wanted to build a snowman, Zhao Pu was interested, and said what a small pile of small shapes, so he took a group of shadow guards out to shovel snow and build a big one.
In the early morning of the next day, the people who got up early and went out saw a rabbit as high as a three-story building piled up in front of the gate of the Baizhou Mansion......
