Volume 1 Mountains and Rivers Change Hands Chapter 4 Desolate Chang'an Road 13 since ancient times
The boatman shook his head and said: "Master, we are a small boat, it's okay to walk in the canal, if you want to go to the river, you still have to change to a big boat, go fast and steady, I think so, don't bother the two masters, I'll send you to Shao Bozhen first, where are you, if you can't find anyone, I'll send you to Jiangdu, my brother also has a big boat, send you to Taiping Mansion." What do you think? ”
Zhang Shixing felt that what he said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Then there is a labor boat family." ”
He felt that this boatman was extraordinary, so he looked at him carefully, and saw that his complexion was copper, his muscles were tight, his face was full of wind and frost, and his lines were vertical and horizontal, so he gave a deep salute and asked, "Dare to ask the boatman's surname?" ”
The boatman smiled while rocking the oar: "The little old man's surname is Yu, and the family is three, and the master can call me Yu San." ”
Zhang Shixing said: "Under the surname Zhang, the third brother can call me Brother Zhang." ”
Yu Laosan smiled and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare we, who ferry people by boat, dare to call the officials brothers." ”
Zhang Shixing said with a smile: "How can you fly across the river without a boat?" Those of you who travel boats and boats can be regarded as ferrying countless people, and your merits are immeasurable. ”
Yu Laosan smiled and said: "The master is right, we are people on the water, available between urgency and urgency, that after the next battle, the overlord of Xichu was left to ride alone, didn't he meet a boat on the side of the Wujiang River, but he himself refused to cross the river." In the future, if the master encounters any emergency, he only needs to shout on this riverside, and I will come to pick you up without taking a penny. ”
Zhang Shixing knew that this was the usual saying of the Jianghu people, and he didn't take it seriously, so he smiled and said: "Third Brother Yu is really heroic, and the boat price is doubled today, which will be used as a deposit in the future." ”
When Yu Laosan heard this, he hurriedly threw off the handle, thanked him again and again, and his eyes narrowed happily.
Zhang Shixing said: "Third Brother Yu, you can't take this money for nothing, I want to go to Shao Bo Town quickly, you have to send me over quickly." With that, he handed over two Baiwen treasure bills.
Yu Laosan hurriedly put the treasure money into his arms, shook the oar, and the boat went north along the canal in the sound of the boat, and came to Shao Bo Town.
Yu Laosan was quite interested, stood up to the stern, and sang loudly: "The wind at the head of the five-mile beach is calm, Zhang Fan lifts the boat and feels light, and the soft oar does not stop but is the boat." The eyes are full of turmoil and sparkling, but they seem to be coming to greet them. Look carefully at the mountains and mountains not moving, it is a boat line. ”
This Shao Bo Town is only a few dozen miles away from Jiangdu County, and Yu Laosan has been rocking the boat for more than an hour.
Yu Laosan moored the boat at the dock and said to Zhang Shixing: "Master, I will park the boat at this dock, and after you do good things, come to me again, go to Yangzhou and Beijing." ”
Zhang Shixing agreed, then the boat landed, only to see a magnificent temple standing on the shore, on the book Fanxing Temple, the temple is full of camellias, the flowers are like brocade, delicate and gorgeous, the leaves are like jade, the fragrance is pleasant. Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, once praised in a poem: "Camellia is relatively planted by Ah, and I come alone in the drizzle." It seems that it will not be with Junjun, and the rotten red is like a fire and snow. ”
There is a pavilion next to the temple, the name is called Douye Pavilion, the eaves are warped, the momentum is extraordinary, you can climb high and look far, open your mind.
Zhang Shixing had something in his heart, and he was not a literati, so he had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him, so he walked south along the bluestone road by the river, passed through the Qingyun Building across the street, turned west, and came to a house to stop.
When Zhang Shixing saw this, he was angry and said secretly: "This Imperial Doctor's family is really strange, could it be that his family knows that Lao Tzu is coming and is hiding?" ”
He raised his leg and kicked it, with a bang, kicked open the door, and walked into the courtyard, the main room of this small courtyard is three, and the east and west wings are one each, he pushed open the door of the main room, only to see a thin layer of dust on the furniture, it seems that no one has lived in this room for a while, he looked around for a long time, and found that the cage was not locked, and the clothes were still there.
I heard a commotion outside the house, and a group of people rushed in, led by a fat man, holding a wooden stick, pointing at Zhang Shixing and saying: "What kind of person are you, so bold, in broad daylight, trespassing into private houses, is there still a king law in your eyes?" ”
Zhang Shixing flashed his waist card and said: "Jinyi Wei is ordered to run an errand, Hut Deluo." ”
The fat man hurriedly bowed down and said, "Wang Shunyi has seen the old man in the three squares of Shao Bo Town. ”
Zhang Shixing heard his name pleasing to his ears, so he stepped forward and grabbed it, and shouted: "Who are you Wang Shunhe, recruit from the truth, otherwise you will be better off than dead." ”
A trace of panic flashed on Wang Shunyi's face, and then he calmed down and hurriedly said, "Master, let go of your hand and listen to my careful reply." ”
Zhang Shixing snorted, let him go, and said, "You come here." ”
Wang Shunyi bowed down slightly, flattering: "Back to the master, Wang Shunhe is my distant brother, a month ago he said that his maternal uncle was sick, and he left in a hurry with his son. ”
Zhang Shixing heard that he was not leaking, so he knew that there was a fake, and asked: "What about Wang Shunhe, has he ever come back?" ”
That Wang Shunyi blinked his eyes and said strangely: "Didn't my brother work as a doctor in the capital, what did he do when he came back?" Sir, why are you looking for him? What happened to him? ”
Zhang Shixing ignored him, dusted off a chair next to him with his sleeves, sat down, and said to Wang Shunyi: "I don't care if he comes back or not, you bring him a word, I, Zhang Shixing, are waiting here, today we are still friends, and tomorrow we will be enemies." ”
Wang Shunyi stomped his feet and said: "The prince is here, during the national funeral, as a lizheng, I am very busy, where can I go to the capital to pass a word to him?" ”
Zhang Shixing said: "Then I don't care, if I can't see others today, I will arrest you and enter Beijing tomorrow, so that you can taste the taste of prison." ”
Wang Shunyi was startled, turned around and fled, everyone behind him heard the words, and they all dispersed in a hurry, Zhang Shixing didn't chase after him, but just sneered behind him, and said secretly: "Imperial Doctor Wang, Imperial Doctor Wang, I want to see if you are a human or a ghost." ”
After sitting so dry all day, until the sun set, the twilight was vast, and there was no ghost in sight, Zhang Shixing was a little apprehensive in his heart, could it be that Wang Shunhe really drowned in the canal? Or did Wang Shunyi really not know his brother's whereabouts? If his person is not in Shao Bo, do you really want to go to Taiping Mansion to find it, and where can you find it in the vast sea of people? If you can't find someone else, how can you go back to Beijing to recover your life?
Thousands of clues, like a mess, lingering in his arms, making him dizzy, so Zhang Shixing walked to the courtyard, only to see the courtyard in the begonia tree, the leaves are broad, lush, extremely luxuriant, the bark is like dragon scales, this is black and blue, in the afterglow of the sunset, it reflects ten thousand points of golden light, the trunk is like the golden dragon with teeth and claws, proudly to the sky, as if to take off.
Zhang Shixing was looking at the gantang tree in a daze, when a young man walked in from outside the courtyard, dressed in a soapy coat and a short beat, but he was handsome and straight, with a serious face, seeing Zhang Shixing, he gave a deep salute and said: "Dare to ask this old man is Zhang Shixing, the general banner of Jinyi Wei?" ”
Zhang Shixing looked the young man up and down and said, "Who are you?" ”
The young man said, "My master asked Master Zhang to go and talk about it." After that, without waiting for Zhang Shixing to answer, he turned around and left.
Zhang Shixing yelled at the young man a few times, but he didn't stop, Zhang Shixing had to go back to the house and grab the baggage, carry it cross-legged on his back, and followed.
The young man seemed to be very familiar with this place, and turned east and west on the bluestone street, and after a while, he walked out of the town, and came to a large road, and at this moment the sky was completely dark, and on the left was the canal, and the boats on the river were shining with lights, and on the right was the plain wilderness, shrouded in the thick of night, and there was no human figure ten paces away.
Zhang Shixing's eyes widened, and he paid attention to the somewhat vague figure of the young man in front of him, and he was slightly remorseful. On this business trip, because it was an unannounced visit, he did not carry a blade with him, and he was confident that with his current internal fist cultivation, ten or eight enemies would not be difficult to deal with, but in this dark night, if someone suddenly launched a cold arrow, it would be difficult to say.
The young man in front of him suddenly stopped, Zhang Shixing's nerves tightened, his fists immediately made a door, his feet did not stop, and he quickly stepped forward to check the movement.
The young man made a gesture of please and said to Zhang Shixing: "Please Zhang Ye get in the car." ”
Zhang Shixing only saw a carriage parked on the side of the road this time, the carriage was very tall, he hesitated, jumped into the car, lifted the curtain, and lowered his head to get in.
One of the people in the carriage said with a smile: "Let Zhang Zongqi wait for a long time, and I am ashamed." Listening to the voice, it was Wang Shunhe who fell into the water on the canal in Jiangdu County that day.
In the dark, he couldn't see his face clearly, Zhang Shixing listened to the sound and argued, and as soon as he stretched out his right hand, he grabbed Wang Shunhe's left wrist, if the other party dared to move, he only needed a slight force to break his wrist.
At this time, the body sank slightly, and with a whip, the carriage began to move slowly, and it was obvious that the young man also got into the car, and his body was light and agile.
Wang Shunhe blurted out: "What a handsome kung fu." "I don't know if he's praising Zhang Shixing or the young man.
Zhang Shixing said hatefully: "Imperial Doctor Wang, you have deceived me so hard. ”
Wang Shunhe pressed his finger to his lips and made a boo, and lowered his voice: "Zhang Zongqi, please remember that there will be no Wang Shunhe in the world from now on, whose surname is Qin, and his name is Lide. ”
Zhang Shixing asked in a low voice, "Imperial Doctor Wang, oh no, Mr. Qin, what are you doing?" ”
Wang Shunhe snorted in a low voice and said, "Brother Zhang, if I don't make some fame, will I still have my life today?" ”
When Zhang Shixing heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and said quietly: "You know all about the funeral of the Fang Yuan envoy?" ”
Wang Shunhe hummed and said, "After all, I have been working in Tai Hospital for so long, how can I not know such a big thing?" Miserable, fifty-three lives. ”
Zhang Shixing also nodded and said, "Yes, I was also acting on orders, and I watched them die in front of my eyes, but I couldn't do anything." Hey, the prince's body bones are too weak, causing them to die innocently. All this is providential, and I can't blame others. ”
Wang Shunhe sneered and said, "Do you think all this is providence? ”
Zhang Shixing pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't it? ”
Wang Shunhe said: "Then what are you looking for me to do?" Hold on to me again? ”
