Section 41: Strange Kidnapping
Jiang Tian had already noticed that the situation was not good since he got on the boat, but don't look at the canal is not wide, he has no possibility of escaping ashore.
"A few heroes, if you rob money, there are still a few taels of silver, if you kill me, I have no grudge against you, right?" Facing the bright steel knife, Jiang Tian wanted to protect the trembling Xiyun, but he didn't have this ability at all.
One of the shipwrights at the head laughed a few times: "We are not trying to make money, and it is up to us to decide whether we will harm or not." ”
In fact, Jiang Tian also paid attention to it secretly, if these people are ordinary robbers, they are not like ordinary robbers, the knives in their hands are all official and military waist knives, but whether it is the blade or the scabbard, there is a very vicissitudes of life, and it is impossible to identify their identities based on this alone, because I heard Liu Baokai once say that the emperor likes the kind of troops composed of pure firearms, and cold weapons have been reduced to a secondary position. It is not too difficult for the people of the green forest to complete the waist knife of Yishui, but it can be said that they are the thieves who cut the path, and the murderous aura expressed by these people is definitely different from that of Jiangyang thieves, especially when dealing with scholars and maidservants like themselves, they still instinctively present a fighting formation around them. Jiang Tian had no other choice but to obediently tie his hands and be caught, and then was pushed into the cabin.
At the same time, Linglong was about to be much more entangled, just when she mustered up the courage to avenge her grievances in this Jinluan Palace, the emperor rushed to the front and spoke first.
"I heard that the people who taught you these tunes are Jiang Tian and Jiang Muhua from the capital that has caused a sensation recently? This fancy dress is also his work, right? ”
When the emperor asked, she had to answer first: "Your Majesty, it is Mr. Jiang's masterpiece." ”
"Hmm......" The emperor nodded slowly, making an affirmative look: "I'm afraid this person has a lot to do with me." ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was instantly covered with buzzing discussions, the legendary story of the emperor is not much to say, everyone knows that his whole family did not survive many people when defending Jiangnan, if it were not for the fact that today's saint relied on hundreds of cronies to pull up a strong team, which turned the tide and restored the Han family, maybe those various officials of the former Ming Dynasty would not be able to survive to this day as long as they did not follow the thieves. But about why this emperor, that is, the generalissimo of the year, was able to win, and how those strange things were created, this question is not only discussed by the people, but also by the court, so after all kinds of speculation flew all over the sky, the generalissimo finally "drunk and spit out the truth" one day, admitting that he had worshiped under a strange man who returned from overseas. As for what happened to the old gentleman, the emperor only shirked and said that the old man did not want to be restrained and traveled all over the world, and there was no news after the fall of the capital. If you think about it carefully, this Jiang Tian is also an extremely abnormal person, I am afraid that it is not something that a traditional teacher can cultivate......
On Xun Qi's side, Liu Junding and Song Yingxing glanced at each other, they had the most contact with Jiang Tian, and the various strange talents around this talent were also the most seen, at this time they all thought that from tomorrow onwards, the name of that kid would be changed.
Seeing that Linglong was still a little stunned, His Majesty the Emperor said to her very kindly: "After you go back, you should learn more new things from Jiang Tian and make more contributions to the development of music in my Chinese Dynasty, so let's go on......"
In this way, Yi Red Mansion won the crown of this music Grand Prix, but the winners were not happy at all, except for the painless encouragement award, the funniest thing is that the person who did not want to leave the nationality at all was expelled from the capital, as an industry under the Ministry of Rites, although Yi Red Mansion still maintains the characteristics of the official camp, but the actual management is all the old bustard surnamed Chen has the final say, and the oil and water here can be known without asking. If it is said that there is anyone in the entire Yihong Mansion who is the most unwilling to leave the country, I am afraid that no one will dare to say that Chen's mother claims to be the second. It's strange why the emperor kicked away an old bustard inexplicably?
In fact, the entire Qinglou industry is paying attention to this competition, which is not only to win a smile from heaven, but also to determine the direction of the industry in the future, after all, Zhu Hongwu in order to accumulate people's wealth, but also to put some of the lowly classes he dislikes into hell, the Qinglou official camp is a major feature of the entire Ming Dynasty, but later the civil forces are also competing here, especially the various Oiran beauty pageants in the Jiangnan area, which is a grand event in the cultural world. People know that the new emperor is also a veteran of wandering among the flowers before Rong, but the original colleague who made a mistake has become the mother of a country, so after the former Nanjing city is in power, will he worry that his background will be criticized and killed? With today's results, they seem to smell something unusual.
Correspondingly, the three major eunuch families, who were already closely related, all got together to drink tea after the banquet, and it is self-evident where to drink this cup of tea. When Liu Baokai, Song Yi, Tian Xuhai and others arrived at the teahouse in a hurry, all they saw was Zhao Zhi, who was anxious and wanted to cry, and Zhao Zhi, who was still calm and light.
After Boss Zhao saw them, he bowed his hand slightly and said calmly: "It's unfortunate that the three sons came, Jiang Gongzi left this morning and has not yet returned." ”
"Absent?" The pervert was a little surprised: "Where can he go today?" ”
Song Yi's eyes were sharp, and he happened to see Zhao Zhi with a crying face, and then reached out and grabbed his shoulder: "You say, where is your master?" ”
"I don't know!" Zhao Zhi was even more aggrieved: "This morning he took Sister Xiyun to the workshop outside the city, but he never came back. ”
"Faith!" Tian Xuhai turned his head to look at Boss Zhao.
"That's right, Jiang Gongzi did leave a book, but the letter did not mention the three." When he got here, the old man didn't finish his words, and the letter mentioned that he would leave a hundred taels of silver, which was Zhao Zhi's living expenses before he became an adult, and the old man was troubled to take care of it.
The pervert couldn't help but giggle when he remembered what his father had just said to him.
Song Yi looked at this brother smirking alone and was a little confused: "He obviously ran away, what are you laughing at?" ”
The pervert shook his head: "My father said just now, the saint has been watching Brother Jiang's every move, but the person sent to keep an eye on him is too unexpected, who would have thought that the prince, the prince and a future earl would take turns looking at him?" It can be seen that the saint promised to give him a foreigner to do, but he just pushed the boat down the river, and he never thought that he would accept it, today he can escape from the capital, I estimate that he will not be able to get out of Shuntian Mansion at all! ”
Old man Zhao, who has always been unruly, finally couldn't help frowning, he thought that Jiang Tian could stir up the restlessness of these three officials was already unexpected, but he didn't expect His Majesty to value this kid so much, the spies sent over were more advanced than the other, thinking of this, he turned his eyes to the water filter jar on the table, what secrets does this person have that can make the powerful people like today so nervous?
Liu Baokai saw the reaction of the shopkeeper Zhao, and he thought that the old man was worried about Jiang Tian's safety: "Although the old man can rest assured, judging from the words of the saint today, he must have known the details of Brother Jiang for a long time, and he also appreciated his talent very much, maybe Brother Jiang will never be able to resign this time!" ”
Corresponding to this, it is the strange atmosphere up and down the red building on the other side of the street, since the eunuch who passed the decree left, Chen's mother cried and wiped her tears and rolled around for half an hour, she was reluctant to this cornucopia, even if the holy decree did not say that she would not be allowed to take away her private property, but how could dozens of acres of land be compared with the magnificent green building. And the holy decree did not specify who would take her place, this appointment should be handled by the Ministry of Rites, maybe the current Ministry of Rites Shangshu has not thought of this problem, so the original few sycophants who were circling around Chen's mother started to think, if they can take the first step to dredge up the relationship and become the old bustard, it can be regarded as the highest position in this industry, as for Chen's mother who used to call for wind and rain, no one paid attention to it.
The old bustard cried for a while, seeing that no one came to persuade him, he knew that he was too harsh and unpopular before, and he would not get any benefit from crying again, and his eyebrows and eyes instantly became hideous: "Jiang Tian, you are a dead star who has suffered a thousand cuts, if it weren't for the overseas songs you taught, it wouldn't have hurt my mother, I should have thrown you out to feed the dogs......"
Before she finished scolding, she saw a young man striding in, and slapped her with a big mouth, and the old bustard who hit her fell to the ground one by one, and the turtle slaves and maids around him didn't even dare to come out. Chen's mother sat on the ground, covering her face, and she didn't dare to stand up.
It was Liu Baokai who beat people: "The old woman's mouth should be clean, lest you don't even know how you died!" ”
This sentence is not a threat, because from the attitude of the emperor today, it can be seen that if Jiang Tian's future is not unexpected in the future, he will at least be ranked as the third prince or enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and if he can't get to be on an equal footing with the prince of the Liu family who has been awarded the title by his military exploits, the pervert smacking her mouth can also be regarded as a kind reminder, some people are not just scolded and scolded, even if Jiang Tian doesn't care, there will be people who rush to rectify this shrew to make a sycophant.
As the center of the whole incident, Jiang Tian didn't feel anything to be happy about at the moment, since he accidentally got on the thief ship, he was ready to sacrifice his wealth to save his life, anyway, he didn't plan to really escape overseas, as long as he and Xiyun could go ashore safely, there would always be a chance to recover the silver that had been buried. But he has been tied up for a day and a night, these people just locked themselves and Xiyun in two cabins and disappeared, listening to the movement, it seems that they have already stopped driving on the shore, but what do they want to do? Money, they didn't move, and the silver on their bodies was a lot. People have never heard the sound of Xiyun calling for help or struggling, which shows that these people are not trying to rob sex. If it is a kidnapping, then at least let yourself write a letter asking for help, so that you can inform the family to prepare a ransom, but so far no one has paid attention to it except for the person who came to deliver food. So what is the value of yourself? You can't be sold into slavery in some remote mountainous area, right? Even so, you shouldn't look for a powerless scholar like yourself! I am really unlucky, the original Jiang Tian came to the capital and fell in love with the way of a liar, but now he wants to leave the capital but is held hostage by robbers, can it be said that this capital is a besieged city that cannot be walked out?
Just as he was thinking, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from a distance......
