Chapter 253: A Mysterious Letter
() A new moon rippled from the bottom of the lake, and Qin Lou Yu was so distracted that it seemed that even Xue Tan was still in this room and forgot that he played a pipa song by himself.
"Childe, look at this bright moon, it actually sank to the bottom of the lake, do you say that the moon in the sky is rounder and brighter, or is it at the bottom of the lake? Which of these two bright moons is real? ”
Xue Tan sighed and said: "The girl is too sentimental, although I am a woodcutter in the wilderness, I know this astronomical thing, this moon is the moon, it is in the sky, and it is also the moon in Li Lang's text, this moon is only one, this thing should only exist in the sky, so in the mortal world, how can there be such a pure object conceived?" ”
"However, I am curious about one thing, I heard that the girl found this Haichun courtyard by herself, but why? With the girl's beauty and talent, you can marry a good family, an official and a rich businessman, you can choose, why do you do this business? ”
"Are you urging me to do good?" Qin Louyu stared at Xue Tan, as if he was looking at an extremely interesting object, and looked him up and down, "Do you know that in these thousands of worlds, what can be done and what cannot be done?" ”
"Xiaosheng is ignorant, I hope the girl will guide me." Xue Tan arched his hand and said to Qin Louyu.
"In this world, stealing, abducting, buying, killing, robbing, arson, rape, and cheating are to persuade people to be good, not allowed."
Qin Louyu looked at the empty pool in the courtyard, and the stump of the lotus flower looked even more delicate on the hazy moonlit night.
"If you call the man who steals chickens and dogs, kills people and sets fires to be good, it is to cut off their dead end, they have no ability at all, they can only make a living from this, if you force him to add your own truth to him, it is to force him to a dead end, tell him that he must be good and upright."
"But he has done too many bad things, no one believes in him anymore, and he has no skills, so he can only starve to death, and when he dies, you will become a wicked person, do you understand?"
"Just as you said that in the court, officials protect each other, and the top and bottom are united, if a link is suddenly broken, and which official suddenly goes to prison, no one will do the things that are sympathetic to his subordinates and curry favor with the above, one after another, if no one is slapping the horse all of a sudden, no one will be reused."
"Maybe the only thing they can do is that no one can do it anymore, and there will be thousands of people starving to death, rioting, and no one
Governance, no one suppressed, and the regime was unstable, which led to the destruction of this great country. ”
"Do you really think that this great country survives only by its loyal subjects? You are wrong, if there were no these thousands of corrupt officials who ate official food and took their money, without this flattery from top to bottom, there would have been no one to really govern this big country a long time ago, what does that person want to be an official for? For power, money, and interests, how many are there to strengthen the prestige of our country? ”
"Childe, you are just a woodcutter, although you may not understand the words of the sages in the books, but you are also a person who has tasted the disease, unlike those hairy boys, fledgling sons, and the little girl is just a little woman, in this world, in addition to the skills to make a living, to be good? That's a real dead end. ”
"The girl is serious, and I don't want to persuade you to be kind, but I'm just curious about why you want to fall into this romantic field with your appearance."
Xue Tan looked at her, and Qin Louyu stood in front of the window, like a poignant portrait, which was fascinating.
"Although I am not a person who practices martial arts, I also know about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, people are in the rivers and lakes, and acquaintances are not guilty? Although the wicked do a lot of evil and deserve their crimes, they can't take people's turn to have mercy, and the heart of mercy should have been reserved for those who are kind, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, as for us humble people......" Qin Louyu glanced back at Xue Tan.
"Son, please go back, the concubine is a little tired." Qin Louyu gave Xue Tan an eviction order, and when he turned around, Xue Tan saw her full of crystal tears.
"By the way, there is one more thing to ask for, I heard that there is one of you here, the handwriting is wild and uninhibited, and the poetry style is chic and free, I don't know if he is from Yangzhou? I would like to meet this 'weirdo' in the future. ”
Qin Louyu still understood at this moment, it turned out that this person was really different from those people, he didn't want her to be beautiful, but came for the name of this Haichun Courtyard, to put it bluntly, he was still aiming at that person's calligraphy and painting.
"Childe didn't know, that person was not from Yangzhou, because of his drunken gaffe, offended a big official in the capital, originally with his fame, that kind of official is not enough to trouble, and asked someone to put a few tables of wine, but that person holds a grudge, has a backer in the capital, and was humiliated by that person after drinking, where did he receive such anger, he was angry for a while, and he reported to the court."
"The people in the capital knew about this and ordered him to kneel down and apologize, how could he do such a thing with Anren's temperament? So he came to Yangzhou
Looking for old friends in the city, it is also considered to find another errand to do, a while ago, I have been here for a long time, listening to the little woman playing the piano and playing Xiao, but I don't often come recently, whether I can still be in Yangzhou City, I don't know. ”
Xue Tan nodded, saluted and said goodbye to her, and released the ingot of silver, which was considered to have paid for the wine, Qin Louyu insisted on refusing, saying that he invited him to come, how could there be any reason to let him pay separately, Zhang Ruoxu shirked for a while and left by himself.
After Xue Tan left the Haichun Courtyard, he went straight to the inn, and the city gate had already been closed at this time, and a curfew was imposed.
Let's talk about Du Jiang.
Du Jiang was puzzled in his heart, could it be that Siniang was really like a divine help, escaping and ascending to heaven? It stands to reason that this matter is only known to himself and Dong Yu, and there is no reason to leak the news, where else can he go except to go directly to Yangzhou to find himself?
I was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, Du Jiang hurriedly called someone to look at it, but found that there was no one outside the door, only a letter, the next person quickly picked it up, went to the house to deliver it to Du Jiang, Du Jiang waved his hand to signal him to go down, closed the door and window, and then put it under the lamp to see.
There was only one line on the letter, and nothing else.
"Except for Siniang, I will keep you from dying."
Since Siniang came to Yangzhou, she naturally wanted to find an inn to live in, not to mention that Naji, who was arranged into Yangzhou City by herself, if Siniang knew, she must also go to see it.
Thinking of this, Du Jiang had a plan.
Du Jiangcheng hurriedly summoned his subordinates, instructed them to hurry up and whip them, rushed to the capital overnight, and told the people about the benefits and harms of this matter, and asked him to recall the killer who was ambushed on the road, and immediately go to the capital to find Dong Yu's one, prepare a few fast horses, and get rid of Siniang as soon as possible, this matter should not be underestimated.
I also had a sleepless night.
There is no movement in Beijing now, and Dong Yu has already urged several times to catch Siniang alive, but if there are branches at this time, I am afraid that it will disturb the imperial court, but it will not be good.
It is also possible for him to suffer the disaster of no reason, and now there is no one in the city who can be trusted, if he really wants to raise an army, there must be someone in the palace to answer, and he can't die yet, if he even dies, the matter is hopeless.
In the capital, there are many dangers.
And Du Jiang is also very strange, it stands to reason that no third person knows about the matter of Siniang, why did he suddenly receive such a letter?
Could it be that General Dong Yu suddenly changed his mind?
