The white snake has been a sacred object since ancient times, and later Liu Bang killed the white snake and won the world, so that the meaning of the white snake was more deeply combined with the change of the real regime. Therefore, Xi Yuanda may not be guilty of death because of the dozens of dry bones that were unjustly killed, because there is no direct evidence to prove that it is related to him, and the Heavenly Master is powerful, and there is still a possibility of survival if he dredges it up, but he was furious and slashed the white snake with a knife, even if Xu You did not plan to kill him, the emperor would not spare his life.

Xu You said pleadingly: "Thanks to Feiqing's help this time, otherwise the Zhan clan would have become someone else's bag." ”

Gu Yun Zhengse said: "There is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, the Heavenly Master Dao is doing mischief in Yangzhou, seeking people and money, destroying the human race, and people and gods are angry!" As the commander of Qiantang County, I only did my best to do my best, and I really regret it compared to the small strategy! ”

"Fei Qing's words are serious, the killing of Xi Yuanda this time depends on the collective wisdom of all the monarchs, I just happened to have a meeting, how can I talk about strategizing?" Xu You paused and said, "Besides, I am a substitute, if I come to Qiantang for the first time, I will get involved everywhere, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient......"

Gu Yun nodded and said, "I understand what Weizhi means, the official document submitted to the Assassin's Mansion and the lord's report do not mention Weizhi's matter, you can rest assured!" ”

The object of Xu You's conspiracy before and after was only Gu Yun, as long as he didn't say it, neither Heavenly Master Dao nor anyone else could know Xu You's role in the whole incident.

The time has not come, he doesn't want to be in the limelight!

Gu Yun's interest shifted to Hunting, and said, "How did that white snake get stuck in place, and how did it get to Yuanyang Jinglu?" ”

"Yuanyanglu is just a fake, Feiqing must not take it seriously!"

"True or false, who can tell clearly? Now not only Qiantang, but also the whole Yangzhou who does not know that the Yuanyang Jinglu established by the mixed yuan has appeared, maybe someone will come to burn incense and worship in a few days. ”

Xu You also smiled and said: "When the fake is true, the truth is also false, but this is the truth!" As for the white snake, I don't know much, according to the snake catcher, he has a family secret medicine, drawing circles on the ground to make gestures, no matter how fierce the snake is, it will curl up in a ball, not daring to move. After that, with the sound of the flute as a guide, the same secret medicine was spread on both sides of the road, leaving only the middle feasible, and the white snake naturally entered the Yuanyang Lu along the road set in advance......"

"Oh, and such wonders?"

Bao Xi said suddenly: "I have traveled in Yizhou, and I have indeed heard that some snake catchers have strange skills, which can make snakes and insects dance with the sound of the flute, and let the east and the west ...... the west, like an arm.

This is the same root and different fate, think about the snake catcher described by Liu Zongyuan in "The Snake Catcher Says", the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and the poison of the endowment is even more than that of the snake, and the fate is miserable, which makes people pity. And the snake catcher in the Six Dynasties, because he can pretend to be a ghost, is actually rich, which is also a great spectacle.

Gu Yun stroked his palms and said, "If you can't travel thousands of miles, how can you know the wonders of the world?" When you take off this official uniform, you will definitely join hands with Weizhi in all directions to visit the cultural attractions in various places......"

Xu You said with a smile: "Feiqing is a person who wants to enter the Taiwan Cabinet, and if he resigns, it will take decades." ”

"Hey!" Gu Yun hung his head melancholy, and his palm groped for the ribbon around his waist, quite helpless.

"What's so hard about that?" Xu You said with relief; "With Feiqing's talent, if you stay in Qiantang for two or three years at most, you can move to a certain county and county guard, and if you wait for another year or two, I am afraid that you will have to travel to Jinling. When that time comes, a few months along the way will be enough to see the customs and customs of the left and right sides of the river. ”

"That's right!" Gu Yunxi came from it and said, "Why don't you and I make an appointment first, and when I go to Jinling, you must go along!" ”

"It's a deal!"

Gu Yunri's logistics and political affairs, step by step, are not the credit of today's agreement. Gu Yun was in a good mood, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "I was about to ask Weizhi, who wrote the words engraved on the Yuanyang Lu stone?" ”

Xu You had a headache and prevaricated: "I really don't know this, it seems that Qiyi has seen it in an ancient book, it is rumored to be the authentic handwriting of Lao Tzu, and then traced it with memory......"

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Gu Yun said a few times in a row, it was a pity, he was excellent in both calligraphy and painting, and naturally regarded this thin gold book that he had never seen before as a treasure. Last time, Xu You gave him a black mustache, and his handwriting was already amazing, but after all, Wang Xizhi's book body was born in his previous life, and there are traces to follow, but he didn't expect that there would be a thin gold book with a unique pattern in the world.

Xu You discussed the next countermeasures with him again, they were busy, broke up and said goodbye, and sent them outside the yamen, Gu Yun turned around and went back, but Bao Xi chased after him, walked beside Xu You, and said in a low voice: "The Assassin Mansion will send someone tomorrow, there is no shortage of experts in the case, can everything in Yuanyang Lu be guaranteed?" ”

Xu You also said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the white snake is dead, the origin is nowhere to be checked, the snake repellent medicine along the road has been cleaned, and the snake cave of the white snake has also been poured into the lake water of Qiantang Lake, as for the stone carvings of Yuanyang Lu, the old craftsmen are exquisite, and they can't see the flaws, even if someone is really powerful enough to see through it at a glance, but who can say that the stone carvings set up by Lao Tzu himself can't last for thousands of years?" ”

Bao Xi looked at Xu You with a complicated expression, and said: "Lang Jun is meticulous and interlocking, I sigh to myself!" ”

Xu You arched his hand and said: "When the imperial court receives the report, it will definitely order the state government to strictly investigate this case. Also, it is necessary to find out the identity of those dry bones, and find a burial place for these people who died in vain. In this way, we have a clear conscience, and we also have an explanation for Li Shu! ”

Bao Xi nodded and said, "Sending out inspectors and raising criminal disputes is what the county government should do." Even if Lang Jun doesn't ask me, I should do my best. ”

Xu You nodded, sighed softly, and waved goodbye to Bao Xi. In the eyes of outsiders, it is already a great merit to be able to avenge the grievances of these women who died in Yuanyang Lu, but in Xu You's heart, he would rather not have these merits, and he doesn't want anyone to encounter such a tragic thing that disregards heaven and humanity.

Bao Xi looked at Xu You's back and fell into deep thought. He has been in Huan Hai for a long time, and his eyes are very vicious, so he can naturally see Xu You's last unspoken compassion. As the saying goes, a traitor is like loyalty, and a great hypocrisy is like goodness, whether this Xu Qilang is loyal or treacherous, it still takes time to verify.

Fortunately, Xu You was trapped in Qiantang, and he had a lot of time to observe this person!

The appearance of Yuanyang Jinglu directly affected the distribution and balance of power in Yangzhou, first Xi Yuanda's body was brought back to Wu County by the officials sent by the Assassin Shifu, and the governor of Yangzhou, Shi Yusun, personally went to Linwu Mountain and handed it over to Du Jingzhi. Then, fifty black-armored black feathered Mo Yun blocked the inside and outside of Yuanyang Lu, and the idlers were forbidden to enter the Sanzhang, and the ten most famous servants of Sanwu conducted a deep excavation and examination of the corpses, and the autopsy conclusions were unknown for a long time. But there are gradually rumors among the people that these poor women were sucked up by ghosts and died, and they underwent all kinds of terrible torture before they died, causing ghosts to cry near Yuanyanglu every night.

It is also said that this is some kind of sacrificial ritual of the Heavenly Master Dao, through the blood and souls of eighty virgins, it is possible to communicate with the impermanence messengers of the Netherworld and Hell, and then drive them to kill people for thousands of miles, without finding the slightest trace.

All kinds of rumors are varied, even absurd, and the brain is open, but under the intentional guidance of the boat pavilion, thousands of waterways return to the sea, and the final point of public opinion is to Du Jingzhi, the heavenly master of Yangzhou.

The wind and rain are shaking, and with the Jinling Sili Mansion sending people, Du Jingzhi's sacrificial wine throne is already precarious.

Fuchun County is more than 100 kilometers downstream of Qiantang County, and the county has been placed along the bank of the Fuchun River in the Qin Dynasty, so it has this name. Since the Han Dynasty, the ancestors of the Zhu family settled here, which lasted for more than 300 years, and developed into a great family of Weiran, successively eleven generations of Tongxian, and finally became the first surname in Wuzhong.

Zhu's manor is different from the defensive dock fort of ordinary clans, but along the Fuchun River, which has "a river flowing with clear water and red frost on both banks", it forms a vast and open area, bypassing the dense maple and cypress, and the unique courtyards, vertical and horizontal ridges, and soft lines of the wind and fire walls, looming in the wisps of cooking smoke. The whole manor is based on the mountain by the potential, the echelon is built, the white clouds are in the mountain, the stars are in the water, the victory of feng shui is poured to the fullest, and then the peach and plum mulberry trees are planted all over, the thatched eaves chicken dog can be faintly seen between the interweaving of the Qianmo, the pastoral wonder, full of interest, the extraordinary handwriting of the craftsman can be seen everywhere, so that people can forget the worries.

"In the lower capital Mingyu, I came to meet General Jianwu......"

The boy looked at the visitor, took the post, and went in to report. There were two people sitting in the hall, one with a black face and long hair, over half a hundred years old, looked at the post, smiled and handed it to another young man next to him, and said, "Du Jingzhi still sent someone!" ”

The young man respectfully took it, read it for a while, and said, "Du Mingyu? This surname is very rare, very ......"

"It's not uncommon," the middle-aged man leisurely brushed his long hair and said, "The surname of the capital began with the grandson of Zheng Guo, and there are clansmen in Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Yizhou and Longxi Longyou. ”

"Gongsun grandson? But Gongsun Run, who is known as the most beautiful man in Zheng Guo? ”

"That's it! Therefore, Du is famous for its abundance of beautiful men, and this Du Mingyu is not only in the position of the correct ruler of the Heavenly Master Dao Yangzhou, but also very important to Du Jing, but also eight feet tall, beautiful in appearance, and good in martial arts......"

"Oh?" The young man became a little interested, and he could be said by the uncle who was above the top of his eyes that his martial arts were good, and he was already very remarkable when he thought about it, and said, "How about comparing with Zi Yu?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said to the boy, "Please let him in!" ”

The young man also smiled, no matter how good Du Mingyu was, he really couldn't compare with Zhu Rui, who was known as a martial idiot.

In this world, the only person who is qualified to compare with Zhu Rui is Xu You of Yixing!

Du Mingyu entered the lobby and presented a blessing talisman written by Du Jingzhi himself as a gift, with an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, and said: "I have seen General Zhu!" ”

The middle-aged man's name is Zhu Li, the current general of Jianwu, Yongjia Taishou, but everyone knows that Zhu Li is proud of his military position and ashamed of his civilian position, so he is mostly called Zhu Jianwu, not Zhu Taishou.

"Du Langjun is a lobbyist for Du Daoshou?" Zhu Li is straight to the point, just like his long knife, straight to the point, without the slightest room for maneuver.

Du Mingyu obviously has a deep understanding of Zhu Li's character, and between the responses, a faint sword appeared, and said: "I came here just to see if the Zhu family of Wu County is as praised by the world, and can be the first surname of Wu County?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Before Zhu Li could speak, the young man sitting next to him frowned and reprimanded: "You are a mere ruler of Yangzhou, and you dare to speak out and talk about my Zhu family?" ”

Du Mingyu looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't you dare to ask Lang Jun's name?" ”

"Zhu Cong!"

"It turned out to be a two-legged book, disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Zhu Cong is an outlier among the children of the Zhu family, as a strong sect of force, the Zhu family has always been more martial than the style of writing, such as Zhu Rui, martial arts is the best among the younger generation. But Zhu Cong is not, he has been weak and sick since he was a child, he can't learn martial arts, and he is not interested, but he likes books and ink, and he has read the four books and five classics to the weak crown, but he can recite it backwards, known as the "two-legged book", that is, the human-shaped bookcase!

However, few people dare to mention the nickname of the two-legged book in front of Zhu Cong, because during the Wuhu Rebellion, the Han people were often called "two-legged sheep", as the food of the three armies when the grain and grass were insufficient, the two were similar, so although it sounded elegant, it was actually bloody and dark.

Zhu Cong was angry, and he was about to have a seizure, but he saw that Du Mingyu was elegant and graceful, not in a hurry or slow, and had the demeanor of a famous man.

It's not good, you can't fall for this trick!

Zhu Cong reined in his mind and said, "Du Langjun came to Fuchun at this time, just to make a fool of himself?" ”

Du Mingyu shook his head and said: "The Heavenly Master Dao's governance in Yangzhou has been in chaos, as a righteous ruler, where do I have the mind to make a fool of myself?" It's just that Lang Jun asked and couldn't help but answer! ”

"That's it! When a distinguished guest comes to the door, Ziming must not be rude! Zhu Li knew that this nephew was full of articles, but he was unruly and lacked the city government, so he was by no means Du Mingyu's opponent, so he scolded and said, "What does Du Langjun think of my Zhu family, can I be worthy of the honor of the first surname of Wu County?" ”

"Wu County Zhu's family, the music garden is known for Taoism, Boliang is shown for the festival of death, the husband is known for filial piety, He, Xue, and Zhou's mothers are chaste, and the descendants are polite and poetic, and the Zhu family can be described as a person."

Du Mingyu praised the celebrities of the Zhu family for a hundred years in one sentence, that is, Zhu Li listened to it, knowing that he had something to ask for himself, and his words may not be sincere, but he couldn't say a word, and said solemnly: "Exactly, the Zhu family can have today's situation, all relying on the ancestors to learn from the Tao, and to show it with the festival of death, the younger generations are not talented, and they dare not say that there are people, so they can only tremble, and it is fortunate that they do not dishonor the name of their ancestors!" ”

The three of them have met so far, and there are only a few breaths, but they can go toe-to-toe and make moves to each other, Du Mingyu, as a foreigner, faced Zhu Li and Zhu Cong on the Zhu family's territory, but he did not fall behind, and the Heavenly Master Dao was full of talents, which can be seen from this.

"General Zhu is too modest, he doesn't talk about others, just says that Zi Yu Langjun, in Qiantang with the power of one person, the Heavenly Master Dao persecuted at a loss, looking at the world, how many people can do it?"

Du Mingyu smiled, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he looked at Zhu Li aggressively. Zhu Li smiled slightly and said, "Du Langjun doesn't look like he's here to admit defeat, but it's ......like a war book."

"Not bad!"

Du Mingyu stood with his hands in his hands, like a crane singing Jiugao, and said: "On the order of sacrificial wine, I want your Zhu family to recall Zhu Rui immediately, and promise not to interfere in the affairs of Qiantang again." All kinds of past grievances can not be blamed in the past. Otherwise......"

Zhu Li held the handle with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and a majestic momentum of murder came to his face, and said, "Otherwise, what will Du Jingzhi do?" ”
