Chapter 168: May Song

The Buddha Bathing Festival came to an end, but the effects of Gao Hui's death were quietly spreading. Heavenly Master Tao in Yangzhou for decades, the depth of the foundation is far from comparable to Buddhism, although that day in the Dade Temple, Zhu has no leakage of tongue and lotus, so that many converts are convinced of his statement, but looking at Yangzhou, Buddhism believers are just a drop in the ocean, insignificant, how to block the mouth of the people?

"Ha, Buddha...... Buddha! ”

He Wei opened his green robe, revealing the white undershirt inside, leaning on the stone pillar of the pavilion, pouring wine into his mouth like a waterfall in the pot, wetting his clothes, and said: "Zhu Wuwu has not leaked milk, but his ambition is really not small, but he probably didn't expect that Gao Hui's death would be so unfavorable." ”

Holding the sunspot in his hand, he stared at the chessboard for a long time, but he couldn't fall, and sighed and admitted defeat. Xu You threw away the white child, stood up, stretched his waist lazily, and said lightly: "From the snow monk to the Buddha, Zhu Wuxuan walked too easily, and it is good to be a little frustrated." Moreover, Gao Hui's family is really pitiful, but anyone with clear ears and eyes can see that it is greasy, hindering the strength of Buddhism, but he can't help it, but he will inevitably criticize a few words in private. If you want me to say, Zhu Daorong and Zhu Fayan are a little too hasty. ”

Shan Zong didn't know how to play chess, but he was happy to see Dark Yao being humiliated by Xu You on the chessboard, so he kept squatting next to him, watching the game with great interest, this time he saw Dark Yao helplessly admit defeat, smiled and looked at his face, and then sat on the futon with satisfaction, raised his head and took over the words: "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, what did Gao Hui say before he died, what did the heavens and the earth fail, what did the sky and the earth fail, what nonsense did not die, and the water was cut off, what did it mean?" ”

These four sentences are simple, since last year, there has been a great drought in Qiantang, the grain harvest has failed, and the water has been cut off, which can be said to be the way of God, or it can be said that the court is malfunctioning, a little bolder, and it can even be said that An Zidao is stupid and incompetent. As for Hu Buying, the farther point is the Hu people in the north, and the closer ones are ......" He Wei smiled and said: "Heavenly Master Dao has always called Buddhism a Hu monk from the Western Regions......"

Xu You also said: "These proverbs are obviously aimed at attacking Buddhism, and they are far-fetched to pull up the celestial phenomenon of this year's drought. However, under the heart, Meng Zhangxiu. Ginseng, according to the bullfight...... These four sentences are very difficult to understand, specious, and if they have a point......"

He Wei frowned, the wine in the pot entered his throat one after another, his eyes looked at the red sun in the distance, and he was silent. Xu You glanced at him strangely and didn't say anything.

Entering May, the cicadas on the treetops were still chirping, but the drought continued, and the people's commotion gradually appeared uncontrollable, and many villages fought for water sources, killing and injuring many people. At the same time, the price of grain in the market began to rise, at first it was only a small-scale fluctuation, and in less than half a month, it was even a market overnight, which also intensified the panic psychology of the people, and the panic buying trend began to appear, and it intensified.

Yangzhou has been rich since ancient times, but after a hundred years of war, thousands of miles of red land, uninhabited, all rely on the two generations of An's father and son, but only with these twenty or thirty years of recuperation, the vitality has recovered slightly, but most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the gate valve, and the storage of the people is not enough to cope with the tragic situation of the two seasons of harvest. Xu You was in Jingyuan, and he had hoarded a large amount of grain in advance, so he didn't feel deeply about the current situation, but after all, he was a human being in two lives, and he knew that once there was a food shortage, there would be great changes, so he sent someone to send a letter to Gu Yun, asking him to pay attention to this drought no matter what, and not to be negligent.

Gu Yun's reply was quickly sent to Qiantang, in which he told Xu You about the overall situation in Wu County and even Yangzhou. Except for a few counties, the whole Yangzhou was affected by the drought, April and May was the rainy season, but this year there was not a drop of rain, not only the spring wheat harvest, other crops were all affected, and even some inland rivers and lakes even fish and shrimp began to extinct, he was the Taishou of Wu County, sleepless nights, has been on the imperial court, reduced the taxes of Wu County this year, and is ready to set up a Taiping at the junction of Wu County and Huiji County, to help the victims of Qiantang Xiling Zhuji and other thirteen counties, and at the same time carry out dredging water conservancy projects, work for relief and so on.

Xu You learned that the imperial court was going to set up a peace of affairs, and most of the worries in his heart were put down, as long as there was food to eat, it would not cause chaos, and some people might have to suffer, but at least they would not starve for thousands of miles, and the people would not be able to make a living.

On this day, Wu Shan came to report, Crouching Tiger Division came, Xu You greeted out of the gate, saw Wang Fu next to the ox cart, and said with a smile: "Wang Langjun, it's too late, no wonder!" ”

"Don't dare!" Wang Fu bowed and saluted, he had always been very respectful to Xu You, walked two steps quickly, and walked to the front of the steps, which was to avoid letting Xu You walk down the steps, and his posture was very low, and said: "Xu Langjun, my subordinates are ordered by the fake Zuo to send things to Lang Jun to eliminate evil." With a wave of his hand, the four servants took down several chests from the ox cart, containing feather fans, dragon skin curtains, silk mats, porcelain pillows, and bamboo ladies.

The ancients used to call the heat as evil, and the evil is the meaning of avoiding the heat, in the gift sent by Meng Xingchun, the fan is a common thing, not unusual, but the dragon skin curtain is made of python skin, the texture is exquisite, very precious, the silk mat is woven with silk, which is more rare than rattan, reed, and bamboo, as for Mrs. Bamboo, it is a kind of green bamboo long cage gadget, for the noble woman to play in the summer.

These things are not too valuable, but the courtesy is light and affectionate, and Xu You is already proud enough to make Meng Xingchun bothered so much. After accepting the gift, he invited the king to re-enter the inner house and sit down with the guests. Xu You asked, "Is it good to fake Zuo?" ”

"Tuo Lang Junfu, pretend to have three meals on the sun, drink wine, and be healthy."

"Then rest assured, I often worry about fake Zuo in Qiantang, from Jinling to Wu County, the atmosphere is very different, you are with you, day and night to take care of, it's really hard."

Wang replied: "This is what subordinates should do!" Lang Jun's kindness, when he returned to Wu County, he should pay a false report. ”

After a moment of greetings, Xu You ordered someone to call the winter solstice, Wang Fu was very surprised by the performance of the winter solstice in Wu County last time, so he did not have the slightest rudeness because she was a woman, and said: "I've seen a girl!" ”

Dong Zhi smiled: "Wang Langjun is here, but is there any good news?" ”

Wang Fu showed a wry smile on his face and said, "The news is there, it's just ...... I don't know if it's good or bad! The Crouching Tiger Division was sent to investigate Du Mingyu's apprentices, and seven people disappeared in the past three months, and a 500 general installed in Linwu Mountain was also beheaded by Du Mingyu for bullying a few days ago......"

Xu You was slightly shocked, his eyes flashed with almost invisible points of light, and said, "Is it missing, or is it dead?" ”

"There was no one alive, no corpse was dead, and seven people disappeared out of thin air. However, the Crouching Tiger Division has strict rules, and if he doesn't reply for nine days, he should be dead! ”

The apprentices of the Crouching Tiger Division are not all masters on the nine-rank list, but they are all elite talents who are one in a thousand, and with the blessing of the golden signboard of the Sili Mansion, no one dares to provoke them, let alone disappear seven people at once.

Xu You fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said, "Can you catch Du Mingyu's handle involved in the case?" ”

Wang Fu shook his head and said, "The difficulty is here, there is no evidence that Du Mingyu and Heavenly Master Dao are involved, and the eyeliner we sent around Linwu Mountain has not found that there are manpower mobilizations on the mountain......"

"I'm not belittling your company, but sometimes, to deal with seven people, it is not necessary to mobilize manpower on a large scale!"

"I understand what Lang Jun means, but since Du Mingyu and below, almost none of the masters who are famous in Linwu Mountain have come down the mountain. If you want to deal with the seven apprentices silently, you must at least have a cultivation of more than six grades......"

Dong Solstice took over and said: "So, Du Mingyu has Olympic aid!" ”

"Exactly!" Wang Fu glanced at the winter solstice appreciatively, and said, "Du Mingyu does not rely on all the forces of Linwu Mountain, but secretly has other Austrian aid, but I can't find a clue yet. Come to Qiantang today, ask Lang Jun if there is any information here......"

Crouching Tiger Division is the ancestor of intelligence, and now he is asking Xu You for help, which shows that the millions of money allocated to the winter solstice have not been spent in vain. Throughout the ages, leaders have been the most important component of intelligence matters, otherwise without the special skills of Zhou leadership, they may not be able to compare with the central leadership of Dai Zhi.

Xu You sighed: "Your company has not been able to understand the details of Du Mingyu, and I naturally can't do it." However, in the huge Yangzhou, in addition to Buddhism and Taoism, and the gate lords of the surnames, what other forces can easily send the masters of the six grades? ”

Wang Fu frowned, obviously thinking about this question. Dong Solstice suddenly asked, "Does Wang Langjun know about the wind gate?" ”

Wang Fu raised his head in astonishment, his face full of surprise could not be concealed no matter what, and said, "You...... Do you know the damper? ”

Dong Solstice said with a reserved smile: "I heard it by chance when I was in the Boat Pavilion before, and now that the investigation of Du Mingyu is at a dead end, I suddenly remembered the wind gate." I heard that the wind gate knows everything and knows everything, if the Crouching Tiger Division has a way to get in touch, why don't you go and inquire? ”

Wang Fu hesitated, as if he was considering whether to say or not, and finally turned his mind, now is not the time to conceal it, and said: "The girl doesn't know, Fengmen is secretive, unless you get permission, it is extremely difficult to find their whereabouts, even if you are lucky, you will not make any deal with you." ”

Xu You was able to cooperate with Fengmen before, mainly because of what kind of introduction, otherwise, it would be impossible to have any intersection at all. Dong Solstice raised his eyebrows and said, "Even the Crouching Tiger Division of the Sili Mansion, the wind gate dares to refuse?" ”

Wang Fu smiled bitterly again, and said: "I'm not prestigious, let alone the Crouching Tiger Division, I'm afraid that the entire Sili Mansion may not be in the eyes of the wind gate......

Dong Solstice and Xu You ignored a glance, and at the same time, they found that their perception of Fengmen had a little deviation, perhaps, the backers behind this mysterious organization were not the He family.

Because, just one He family is not qualified to let Sili Mansion bow its head!
