Chapter 303: Letters and Tips
"Engong, this Yingbu seems to be a bad person, you have to be careful!" Riding forward on the horse, Yu Wuya couldn't help but remind.
"Do you really know how to look?" Chen Xu turned his head to look at Yu Wuya in surprise.
"Hehe, I said a long time ago that I learned the Twelve Divine Palace Phase-Breaking Method of the famous Xiangshi Gu Bu Ziqing, and ordinary people can see their heels at a glance!" Yu Wuya smiled proudly and turned his head to look at the crowd, and then pointed at a person with a horsewhip and said, "Engong, please look, this person is destined to be poor and miserable all his life!" ”
Chen Xu's face darkened when he glanced at it: "I can also see that this is a beggar!" ”
"Hee-hee~" Shui Qing, who was riding the horse next to him, couldn't help but cover his mouth, and his big eyes smiled like a crescent moon.
"No, this person is indeed a beggar, but a beggar may not be poor all his life, you see his face is miserable, his eyebrows are scattered, his eyes are blank, other beggars are begging along the street with bamboo sticks and broken bowls in their hands, but he hugs a jagged huddle in the cold corner of the wall and shiveres, I can't find a place to bask in the sun, I have seen him like this every day recently, so it is not strange that this kind of person is poor to death!" Yu Wuya pointed at the beggar and said loudly
"What's the difference?" Chen Xu asked curiously.
"Chen Lang, jagged is a combination of bamboo flutes of different lengths of musical instruments, which can make different sounds when played, so it is also called pan flute or cloud flute, according to legend, it is made by the Yellow Emperor's musicians, and now it is said that unevenness comes from this!" The water explained softly beside her.
"Oh, it turned out to be a pan flute!" Chen Xu nodded again and again, he knew the idiom of unevenness, but he didn't know that uneven originally referred to the pan flute, and he naturally knew the pan flute, there was once an Indian movie with a very nice pan flute playing music called "Song of the Eagle", which was intoxicating and heartbreaking to listen to.
Chen Xu stared at the beggar a few times and said to Yu Wuya: "I think your level of appearance is really not very good, since this beggar can play the pan flute, he must be a musician, I think he is going to get rich soon!" ”
"Impossible, this man's mind is ...... weak"
Before Yu Wuya finished speaking, Chen Xu jumped off the horse and walked to the beggar and squatted down, "Hey, do you know how to blow the flute?" ”
The unkempt beggar wrapped his tattered clothes tightly and shrank back, nodding his head blankly.
"Blow one to listen, and if it sounds good, I'll reward you with a hundred dollars!"
The beggar shook his head.
"A thousand dollars!" Chen Xu's face was a little dark.
The beggar shook his head again.
"10,000 yuan...... Chen Xu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words
The beggar still shook his head.
I'll go, Chen Xu's face was black and almost dripping ink, Yu Wuya was right, this is a beggar who is destined to be poor to death, and the gods can't save him.
Looking at Chen Xu's depressed face, the flowers and branches that Shui gently rode on the horse and covered his mouth and smiled, Wang Wu and the others also grinned, Yu Wuya said proudly: "Engong, you see what I said is right, this person is a musician but he is unwilling to play, he must be depressed, his mind is confused, his mind is declining, not to mention making a fortune, he will definitely die soon!" ”
"Forget it, let's go!" Chen Xu sighed and prepared to get on the horse and leave.
"Wait!" An extremely hoarse voice came from behind him.
Chen Xu looked back at the beggar.
"I can play for you, but you're going to help me kill someone!" The beggar's voice was like a piece of sandpaper stuffed in his throat, and the listener was covered in hair.
"Kill whom?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Zhao Gao!" The beggar said in a deep voice.
Chen Xu's feet slipped and almost hit the ground with a pestle from the rope, staring at the beggar and asking, "Which Zhao Gao?" ”
"Taifu Zhao Gao!" The beggar also stared at Chen Xu.
"Did he offend you?" After a moment of daze, Chen Xu slowly walked to the beggar and squatted down again.
"I turned out to be a famous musician in Xianyang, often in and out of the princely mansion for them to play and sing, three years ago, I took the thirteen-year-old girl to the Zhao Mansion banquet to perform, I didn't expect that after the banquet was over, the little girl was robbed into the back room by the Zhao family servants, and when I found it in the backyard, it was already dead, naked, I tried to ask Zhao Gao for justice, but he arranged for the servants to catch and beat the bruises, and also poured poison on me and threw my throat poison outside the house, these three years, I have been staying in Xianyang wandering and begging, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to kill Zhao Gao to avenge the little girl, but unfortunately Zhao Gao is accompanied by guards when he goes in and out......"
"Then why did you come to Nanyang?" Chen Xu interrupted the beggar.
"I'm here for you!" The beggar said in a hoarse voice.
"For me?" Chen Xu almost sat on the ground and couldn't help but scream.
"Yes, I heard in Xianyang that there are immortal disciples in Funiu Mountain near Nanyang, so I wanted to see if I could meet, maybe the fairy mercy on the little girl can help me avenge, I took the caravan to Wancheng for more than a month, has been begging near the Qinghe store, I saw him a few days ago......" The beggar pointed at Yu Wuya with a dark and dry finger.
"How about seeing him? Do you know him? Chen Xu asked in surprise.
"Yes, when I was following Zhao Gao in Xianyang City last year, I saw him jumping down from the roof to assassinate Zhao Gao......"
I'll go! Chen Xu covered the beggar's mouth in fright and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this matter, you will come with me!" ”
There are people coming and going on this street, and there are all kinds of people on this street in front of the Qinghe store, and there are even the emperor's eyes and ears and the history of the emperor.
So Chen Xu instructed Wang San to turn around and find a carriage and take the beggar back to Qinghe Town.
Killing Zhao Gao is naturally something that Chen Xu is very willing and very willing to do, but it is too tasteless to do it in order to listen to a song, if Zhao Gao did rape this beggar's thirteen-year-old daughter in the mansion, then it is not too much to cut the oil pot Ling Chi with a thousand knives, but this matter has to be considered in the long run, and the biggest possibility of the mastermind of this matter is Zhao Gao's unsuccessful son Zhao Zhe, Zhao Gao is almost fifty years old, and there are many beautiful concubines in the house, and it is unlikely that he will do this kind of thing.
After the carriage and horse left the city, Chen Xu took out a bag and a letter and handed it to Yu Wuya: "Brother Wuya, you go to the emperor's trip and give this letter and this bag to the emperor!" ”
Yu Wuya didn't ask much after receiving the letter and tips, and drove his horse straight to the emperor thirty miles away in the western suburbs, while Chen Xu and the others continued to go north, taking the beggars to Pheasant County.
The emperor was solemn at this time.
Hundreds of corpses were densely packed all over the ground, and the grass and trees everywhere were stained with congealed blood, exuding a strong smell of blood under the strong warm spring sun.
Under the leadership of Ma Boyuan and Gao Yan, all the officials of Wancheng fell on the ground on all fours, trembling and not daring to raise their heads.
Qin Shi Huang sat on the jade chariot, his face seemed calm, but there was anger burning in his eyes.
A big man with his hair covered in blood was tied up with five flowers, and his body was full of wounds, and at this time, his head was lowered and he was pressed by several Xuanwu guards to kneel in front of the jade chariot.
Last night's sneak attack, although Chen Xu reminded in advance, but under the impact of nearly 400 trained dead soldiers led by the Great Han, the forbidden army still died more than ten times, and there were fifty or sixty wounded, and one lieutenant was beheaded by the Great Han, this result Qin Shi Huang was naturally very angry, and even more angry at the officials in Wancheng.
The workshop rebellion launched in advance last night was planned for a long time because Ran Feng had been planning for a long time, and it happened suddenly, although Gao Yan had already prepared and arranged, but it was still a step too late, and hundreds of copper and iron workshops along the river were set on fire, and hundreds of slaves were killed under the chaos, and it took most of the night to suppress the rebellion, beheading and capturing nearly a thousand people, but the loss of the workshop was immeasurable, and even Ran Feng's workshop in that hill was all burned, resulting in the copper and iron production near Wancheng falling by nearly half in the future.
"Jiang Fu Order, Spread My Order!"
"Yes!" Jiang Heng stood on top of the jade chariot with a roll of fine silk in his hand, and unfolded it to read out the emperor's will aloud.
"Nanyang County Shou Ma Boyuan neglected his duties, set up bandits, took the post of county guard, the whole family was reduced to a commoner, and Yanmen County in the north was reclaimed, and it will never be returned!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Boyuan, who was kneeling at the door, trembled and hurriedly thanked him loudly.
"Nanyang County Cheng Cao Kun, accepted money and goods from the bandit leader Ran Feng, committed the crime of collaborating with bandits, seized the position of the county leader, and escorted Xianyang to the Tingwei Mansion for disposal."
"Nanyang Prison Imperial Shi Yongpo, guilty of lax supervision, conniving at officials and bandits to collude, seizing the post of Imperial Historian, escorting the Xianyang Imperial Governor's Mansion to prison, and waiting for the Imperial Doctor to return to Xianyang to deal with it!"
"Gao Yan, the county lieutenant of Nanyang, although he has long been aware of the rebellion of the bandit leader Ran Feng, but the mishandling caused serious consequences and took the post of county lieutenant, but he still temporarily acted as the county lieutenant and arrested the fleeing bandit leader Ran Feng and the bandits' family as soon as possible."
"The other officials will be handed over to the county governor's office for temporary interrogation and will be dealt with according to the law."
"Behead the bandit leader Ran Xun sacrifice flag!"
As Jiang Heng finished reciting the holy decree, the two Xuanwu guards pulled up the big man who was kneeling on the ground and dragged him to the open space ten zhang away, and several forbidden soldiers unfurled a black dragon flag.
"Chop~" With a loud shout from a captain, the golden sword in the hand of the executing forbidden army fell, and with a snort, a big head rose in the sun, and a warm blood spurted out and fell on the dragon flag, and the answer dripped down the dragon flag in an instant.
After the sacrifice of the flag, Jiang Heng took out another fine silk, which was a letter of appointment stamped with the emperor's jade seal.
"The Chinese scholar received the order, quickly went to Pheasant County to announce, and ordered Jiangbei Pavilion to Wancheng to temporarily take the post of Nanyang County Guard!"
"喏~" The confessor stepped forward to receive the order, and then rode his horse straight to Pheasant County under the escort of several forbidden troops.
Zhao Gao, Li Si and other officials stood next to Yu Yuan, looking at Jiang Heng, who was in the same car with the emperor to announce the decree, their hands clenched and their faces gloomy.
Being able to parade with the emperor in the same car, such a great honor is not himself, this should have been his own position, the Jiang family not only broke his son, but also occupied his own position, and now Jiangbei Pavilion was promoted to the Nanyang county guard, which made the Jiang family more and more powerful, more and more unable to move, the more Zhao Gao thought about it, the more ruthless his eyes became, and at the same time he began to resent the left minister Li Si who was standing in front of him, if it wasn't for Li Si to make a hindrance, the emperor would never marry the Wang family, and there would be no son to come to Nanyang, It is even more unlikely that there will be everything that happens later.
"Li Spiff, all this is caused by one hand, and the old man vows not to give up with you!"
Zhao Gao stared at Li Si's back viciously and swore through gritted teeth.
"Kick and Tap" galloped from the north on a fast horse, and soon appeared outside the Xingyuan garrison, but was blocked by the Forbidden Army.
"Your Majesty, some people claim to be a disciple of Lushan Gong and ask to see Your Majesty!" A leader of the forbidden army rode a horse to Qin Shi Huang's car to report it.
"Liezi disciple?" Qin Shi Huang bowed slightly, raised his hand and said, "Xuan!" ”
"喏~"
Soon, Yu Wuya, dressed in black and carrying an iron sword, strode over, turning a blind eye to hundreds of forbidden troops standing on horses and holding bows and crossbows, and bowed twenty zhang away from Qin Shi Huang's carriage and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Xu asked me to send me a letter and a bag!" ”
"Bring it on!" Although Qin Shi Huang was in a bad mood at this time, he was still full of interest in the things sent by Chen Xutuo's disciples.
A letter is written on snow-white flat bamboo pulp paper, the handwriting is beautiful, and it is a woman's handwriting at a glance, and this handwriting is very familiar to Qin Shi Huang, it must be written by a woman called Qingrou, and the words on the original white snake biography are almost identical.
"His Majesty the First Emperor: Although the turmoil in the southeast is sinister, His Majesty is the king of heaven, and he will be safe.
"Today's China, only Qin, the center can be obtained immediately, but not immediately cured, the former soup, Wu rebel to take and obey it, Emperor Wen used both, long-term art also."
"Kyushu Yizhiyun: The king is the boat, and the people are the water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Now the land of the six countries is the land of His Majesty, and the people of the six countries are also the people of His Majesty, and they can all be treated kindly. ”
"Xu Ben cloth, ploughing in Nanyang, living in the mountains and wilderness, not seeking to be heard in the world, but His Majesty does not think Xu is despicable, condescending to the noble, so that Xu is grateful."
"Yesterday, His Majesty asked about the immortal road, Xu didn't dare to say much, this is the heavenly machine, but in the three volumes of the book of heaven granted by Taiyi Xianzun, Kyushu Yizhi recorded the ancient gods, Taigong Wang assisted Zhou Gong from Qishan, destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and issued the god list by the heavenly order, the gods are all fixed, and the immortals are all cut off the way, this matter is unknown to the mortal world, and the god list is also recorded, the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty have a fixed number, Qin took the Zhou Dynasty, it is the destiny of heaven, but the god list has not mentioned the future generations of Qin, so the future fate of Great Qin is all related to His Majesty, because of the unpredictable nature, I hope Your Majesty will be cautious. ”
"Your Majesty is going to the southeast, Xu has a bag to offer, there is a warning book, if you pass by a place called Bolangsha, don't be careless, please burn incense and clean your hands in advance and watch near the fire, but if you don't go here, you must not open it! Chen Xu, the husband of the mountain village, bowed. ”
After reading it, Qin Shi Huang silently sat on the jade chariot, stared at the bag for a long time, and then put away the letter and bag closely, and said to Yu Wuya with a warm face: "I have accepted the bag and letters, please go back to restore your life!" ”
"Farewell!" Yu Wuya nodded and turned around and strode away from the forbidden army in the formation, and after walking a few zhang, his body suddenly expanded and stepped forward a few steps, his body swept forward like a fallen leaf, and instantly landed on the back of a horse dozens of zhang away, and then with a whip, the horse galloped away.
"Liezi disciples, they are really gods!" After a long time, Jiang Heng, who was standing next to Qin Shi Huang, was stunned and couldn't help muttering to himself.
"Out~" Qin Shi Huang had no intention of lingering on anything here at this time, and looked ahead and gave an order.
"Woo~~" With the sound of several low and long horns, thousands of forbidden troops and Xuanwu guards began to move, protecting the jade chariot and dozens of carriages in it and heading towards the southern Chu land along the Qin Chu Road, leaving only the muddy blood and dead bodies all over the ground, as well as the officials of Wancheng who knelt all over the ground trembling in the sun.
