Chapter 289: Four Rank Masters
This is an ordinary inn, exactly like the other inns built by Qin Wang, and the house is surrounded by the fragrance of wood and the smell of tung oil. If you look closely, you can see some fresh wood chips left in the cracks in the wall.
Qin Forget walked to the door and glanced back at Dong Tianxiang and his men a few times, "You all disperse, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
After saying that, he ignored them and knocked lightly on the door.
"Squeak!" The door opened, and a fierce and unusual man looked Qin Forget up and down slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his original state, ignored him, and turned his head to leave.
Qin Forget hurriedly followed, looking at the man in front of him as he walked. He is tall, with a rare horizontal knife at his waist, and a delicate bow and crossbow behind his buttocks.
"Elite, the absolute elite of a hundred battles!" This thought popped up in Qin Wang's heart.
The big man walked so fast that Qin Forget didn't have time to look at the situation in the courtyard at all, and only roughly noticed that there were a few equally elite big men standing on the side of the road, all looking at him with curiosity and surprise.
"My lord, he's coming!" Soon, the two walked to the door of a guest room, and the big man whispered.
"Come in." A soft, shrill voice came from within.
"You, go in." Dahan glanced at Qin Forget coldly and said to him arrogantly.
"Thank you." Although Dahan had a poor attitude, Qin Forget still thanked him.
Qin Forget opened the door, it was brightly lit, and the first thing that caught his eye was the two people sitting on the stool. The person on the left has a white face and beard, and a pair of triangular eyes look very feminine. He was wearing a dark crimson round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, a square patch on his chest, embroidered with small flowers one inch in diameter, and a black gauze crown on his head, which made his face even fairer, and his right arm was still lying in the snow-white dust, and he turned out to be a eunuch.
The one on the right was about forty years old, similar to the eunuch's costume, also dark crimson, except that a lifelike lark was embroidered on the complement, and he wore a black-gauze hat with hard feet on his head, and a silverfish belt hanging from his waist.
Four-rank members and four-rank attendants?
Qin Forget was very surprised in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down, "Grass people Qin Forget, I have seen two Shangguan!" Although he was unwilling and unwilling in his heart, Qin Forget still pretended to be surprised and respectful, and knelt down to salute.
Dayan, like other countries, has continued the official system of the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, and the corresponding food and clothing culture has not changed much, especially the changes in official uniforms.
Purple above the third grade; Four products, deep crimson; Five-pin, shallow crimson; Six-pin, dark green; Seven pins, light green; Eight pins, dark blue; Nine pins, light green. Floral ornaments of the clothing: embroidered patterns above three grades: one product, with a diameter of five inches; two products, two inches in diameter; Three products, no branches and leaves. Four to seven embroidery patterns, all of which are small flowers with a diameter of one inch; Eight to nine grades have no embroidery pattern. Shu people only
I can wear white cloth. It's just that now the world is in chaos, the etiquette and religion are not as strict as before, and the clothing of the common people is a little more casual.
The complement on the chest of the official is also very particular, according to the "Tang Huidian" record, Gong, Hou, Concubine, Bo: Qilin, Bai Ze; Civil officials embroider birds to show civilization: first-grade cranes, second-grade golden pheasants, third-grade peacocks, fourth-grade cloud geese, fifth-grade white pheasants, sixth-grade herons, seventh-grade yellow orioles, and ninth-grade quails; Military attachés embroider beasts to demonstrate fierceness: first-grade and second-grade lions, third-grade and fourth-grade tigers and leopards, fifth-grade bears, sixth-grade and seventh-grade biao, eighth-grade rhinoceros, and ninth-grade seahorses; Miscellaneous duties: Lian Que; Wind Magistrate: Hedgehog. In addition, there are also complementary motifs for pythons, bullfights and other themes.
Based on these, Qin Forget would quickly judge the rank of the two.
The two fourth-rank masters did not speak, and quietly looked at Qin Wang, who was kneeling on the ground.
The young one was surprisingly young, but he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, six feet tall, with a fair complexion, red lips and white teeth, and a very tall nose. Especially those eyes, narrow and contoured, like a deep pool, flashing a cold light from time to time. Although it looks like a serious illness has not been cured, it is as sharp as a knife.
"What a heroic young man!" The two of them secretly praised in their hearts.
Especially the civil official on the right, he also found a trace of bookish qi from Qin Wang, and he inexplicably had a good impression of Qin Wang.
The two of them stared at Qin Forget intently, until they saw a trace of cold sweat oozing from his head, and then the two nodded with satisfaction.
"Qin Wang, fifteen years old this year, a native of Qinjia Village, Chicheng. Two years ago, his father Qin Duanshan and the men in the village mysteriously disappeared, and his mother died, resulting in no one to discipline him, and he did a lot of illegal acts. Entangled with Yang Xuan and other bandits, occupied Chicheng and Yexian, and attacked Xinzhou and Changxing Island to control the Yellow River, intending to control Chama City. Disrespecting teachers, disrespecting superiors, being bold and reckless, and committing rebellion. Qin Forget, are you guilty? Just when Qin Wang's kneeling was tired, a shrill voice suddenly sounded above his head.
Qin Wang's heart suddenly suddenly, it seems that these two people came prepared, but he is not false.
"Dare to ask Shangguan, the two of you are ......" Qin Forget pretended not to dare to raise his head, knelt on the ground and asked in a muffled voice.
"Haha...... Lord Li, look, look, this kid is so bold! He didn't admit his guilt, but first asked about the identities of the two of us. The eunuch on the left screamed at the civil official on the right, "Okay, let you die clearly, Chen Liang, the young eunuch of the imperial palace in our family, and the one next to him is Master Li Ming, the right man of Shangshu." ”
"It turned out to be two adults, the kid is rude and offensive, and I ask the adults to forgive me!" Qin Wang's kowtow to the two of them heavily.
Qin Forget secretly hated in his heart, he had grown so big and had never knelt down for anyone except his parents. It's just that this time he really can't help him, Akagi's strength is too weak, and he can't bring disaster to Akagi because of his honor and disgrace. He decided to endure this humiliation, and one day he would be in front of the snow
Shame, he swore in his heart.
Seeing Qin Wang's respectful appearance, the faces of the two of them eased a lot.
"I don't know how the two adults learned about these things, but there are many hidden secrets in it, and I ask the two adults to give the grass people a chance to defend themselves." Qin Forget paused again.
"Hmph, since I didn't go directly to Chicheng to get you, I will naturally give you a chance to plead, if you have something to say, our family's time is precious!" Chen Liang said coldly, but he still didn't mean to let Qin forget.
Qin Wang's knees were numb, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. He understood that a single word from these two people could decide his life and death.
"Back to my father-in-law, my lord, everyone in the world says that I am Qin Forget to fly and act recklessly. Who can understand my difficulties? Since five years ago, I have been suffering from snowstorms in the north of Dayan. Especially my Yunzhou, I am starving for thousands of miles. At that time, the Golden Mountain, which was the history of Yunzhou Thorn, did it have a little disaster relief? In Chicheng alone, ten people died of starvation, the people were displaced, they were eaten, and there were white bones everywhere! Qin Forget said and his voice choked up.
"No, as far as I know, the household department has been giving relief in the past few years, so why not. Qin forgets, framing the three high-ranking members of the imperial court is a capital crime! At this moment, Li Mingzhi suddenly interjected.
"Does the imperial court have relief?" Qin Forget asked in a half-truthful voice, "Lord Mingjian, how could I have a tael of silver shipped from Chicheng?" How could there ever be a grain of rice that was given to the people? If you don't believe me, you can just go to the street and ask. ”
Hearing Qin Wang's words, Li Mingzhi and Chen Liang glanced at each other with solemn faces, the matter of the imperial court's relief is indeed true, and what Qin Wang's words should also be true, so what is in between...... Both of them understood that the Golden Mountain had done something from it.
"Golden Mountain really didn't give any relief to the victims of your Akagi? Would you like to testify? Li Mingzhi is Li Chengan's person, and he is naturally unwilling to let go of the handle of Wen Man's henchman Jinshan, so he hurriedly asked.
Although Qin Forget didn't know who he was, seeing that he was also surnamed Li, thinking about the contradictions between the left and right prime ministers, he guessed a rough idea. Give the Golden Mountain eye medicine, of course he is willing, "It's true, the grass people are naturally willing to testify." ”
"Okay, let's get down to business, don't take the conversation off the rails. Qin forget, you continued. Chen Liang glanced at Li Ming dissatisfiedly. He knew what Li Mingzhi was thinking, but when it came to the envoys of the three states, he didn't dare to be hasty, so he diverted the topic at the moment and urged Qin Wangdao.
Qin Forget and Li Mingzhi glanced at each other, and both tacitly agreed not to mention this matter, but neither of them planned to let go of the Golden Mountain like this.
"My Qinjia Village is just a small village that lives on hunting, and I just want to survive in this disaster year, but Huang Ling, the commander of Chicheng County at that time, couldn't tolerate me, I really can't, I can only build a village to protect myself. has experienced the Chicheng refugee riot and the attack of the Dulong Peak bandits, and was able to survive, all relying on the prestige of the imperial court, the two adults! Qin Forget continued.
