Chapter Forty-Three: Darts Destroy People
Duan Canghai was surprised: "The Marquis of Zhongyi didn't come over? ”
Gu Qinghan shook his head and said: "When the general was alive, our Hou Mansion and the Zhongyi Hou Mansion had always had a very good relationship, I thought that if I knew the news of the general's death, the Zhongyi Hou would come over immediately, but ..... Up to now, the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion has only casually come to pay respects and go, and no one has come since then. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yang Ning asked on the side: "Did the Marquis of Zhongyi see that his father passed away, and our Jinyi Marquis Mansion is gone..... There is no mountain, so ......! ”
"Ning'er, don't talk nonsense." Gu Qinghan glared at Yang Ning, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Why do you think so?" ”
Yang Ning also said casually, seeing Gu Qinghan's resentment, he said, "I'..... I'm talking nonsense, I won't say it. "I thought that the two strongest people in the Qi family have passed away, and the group of people who stayed behind, swept over at a glance, there is no man who can really stand alone, and the weakening of the Jinyi Hou Mansion seems to be inevitable, this situation, I am afraid that many people are well aware, if they underestimate the Qi family or even distance themselves because of this, it is not impossible.
Duan Canghai looked serious, shook his head and said, "Speaking of loyalty and snobbery, there should be no such possibility." No matter what he thinks in his heart, but on the scene, he has never been picky. After a pause, he lowered his voice: "Third lady, is it possible..... It's something wrong in the palace. ”
"Something happened in the palace?" Gu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes rolled and he said softly: "It's a bit of a coincidence that you say this." When the general's body was secretly sent to the capital, the matter had already been reported to the palace, but the palace had not sent anyone over, and the Marquis of Zhongyi did not come to the door at such a time, could it be .....! He frowned and did not continue.
Gu Qinghan and Duan Canghai didn't say much about the things in the palace, after all, this kind of thing should not be discussed behind their backs.
Yang Ning stayed in this Hou Mansion for a long time, and received a lot of news before and after, and he already had a general understanding of the Jinyi Hou Mansion in his heart.
There is no doubt that the Jinyi Marquis Mansion once had infinite scenery, and even once was the pillar of the Great Chu Army, but with the death of the Jinyi Marquis Qijing, the situation has undergone extremely subtle changes.
And this Jinyi Marquis Mansion does not seem to have the kind of extravagance that he imagined, and he is worried about thousands of taels of silver, and he even has to take out a pawnshop as collateral to borrow silver.
However, from their mouths, Yang Ning also heard that the Hou Mansion also had a lot of sources of income, but he couldn't understand why Jiangling had silver to send to the Hou Mansion.
He knew that there were some things that he couldn't rush to understand, so he could only understand them slowly, and it didn't matter if he occasionally pretended to ask casually about some information, but if he kept an eye on many things, it would definitely make the people in the mansion feel abnormal, and he still had to use the power of the Hou Mansion to find Fluttershy, and he didn't want the people in the Hou Mansion to see through it too early.
They mentioned the palace several times, and it was naturally the imperial palace within the Great Chu Imperial City.
Yang Ning knew in his heart that with Qi Jing's status in Dachu and his contribution to Dachu, it was impossible for the emperor to die for the country without any expression.
Even if the emperor will not come to pay tribute in person, he will definitely send a prince or someone from the royal family to mourn, and no matter how bad it is, he will definitely send a eunuch to announce a decree, praise and mourn, which is an indispensable link, and the emperor should also give a reward.
Now the palace has not sent people for a long time, which is naturally very abnormal.
However, Yang Ning really didn't care too much about these things at the moment, and was thinking about how to ask Duan Canghai to help him explore those dart games next.
If you want to have something, you must pay.
Yang Ning returned to the mourning hall and assumed the identity of a filial son as a matter of course, but thinking that this Marquis of Jinyi was also a famous general of the Great Chu generation, and he belonged to the dragon and phoenix among people, and it would not hurt to kneel down by himself.
Naturally, no one came to worship at night, and there were also people inside and outside the mourning hall, Duan Canghai and the others had just returned home, so a few people accompanied Yang Ning to keep the spirit together this night.
Keeping vigil at night, naturally he will not kneel all the time, and someone has sent supper, and in the second half of the night, Qi Yu came to the mourning hall, and Yang Ning didn't say much to him, leaving him in the mourning hall and resting by himself.
In the next two days, there were not a few people who came to pay tribute, all of them were officials in Beijing, and the news of the death of the Marquis of Jinyi was not publicized, and the officials from other places were only notified of a few people who were friends with the Marquis of Jinyi before his death, and these people worked hard all the way to the capital, but the food and accommodation were also arranged by the Hou Mansion.
Everything is according to Gu Qinghan's arrangement, Qi Yu is not qualified to meet with the officials who come to worship, but whenever someone comes, it is Yang Ning who comes forward, fortunately, Yang Ning doesn't need to talk much, Manager Qiu is always on the side to take care of it, the officials who come, Yang Ning will naturally not be familiar with it, Manager Qiu occasionally introduces, and Yang Ning quickly forgets.
The clansmen of the Qi family still come to help every day, and the third old lady also appeared twice, but he didn't enter the mourning hall, and he didn't look at Yang Ning, obviously he was still angry with Yang Ning, but the fifth master and the sixth master did not appear.
Seeing that the day of the funeral was approaching, the palace had not sent anyone over, and it seemed that he had forgotten this general Wei who had made great contributions to the empire.
In the afternoon of this day, Yang Ning was sitting in the mourning hall, bored and lazy, and suddenly saw Duan Canghai enter the mourning hall, approached Yang Ning's side, and said in a low voice: "Lord Shizi, do you remember the dart game you talked about that day?" ”
Yang Ning perked up, and secretly praised Duan Canghai for his good eyesight, he had never found an excuse for him to inquire about the situation of the dart game, and he didn't want to mention it last time, but he had already gone to investigate, it seemed that this person was really attentive and promising, so he hurriedly asked, "Did you go to inquire about the news?" ”
Duan Canghai shook his head and said, "Don't ask, Qi Feng heard someone outside that something happened to the dart game." ”
"Something?" Yang Ning asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Duan Canghai lowered his voice and said, "The prince naturally remembers that there are three major dart games in the capital. ”
"The three major dart games of the four seas, Changping and the rising sun." Yang Ning's memory is already good, and he is particularly attentive to the dart game, and the last time Duan Canghai talked about the three major dart games, he had already kept it in mind.
Duan Canghai nodded and said: "Yes, this time things are not small, the two major dart games of Sihai and Rising Sun are all ruined by darts." ”
"Darts ruined?" Yang Ning's heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, "What's going on?" ”
"The dart is ruined and people are dead, that is, the dart cart is gone, and the escort is also dead." Duan Canghai said in a deep voice: "This is something that rarely happens, and what happens is the northern line. ”
Yang Ning frowned, and knew in his heart that he was attacked by the cicada in the wine shop that night, and the Four Seas Dart Bureau must have suffered, and when he left, there were still a few people in the Dart Bureau to support him, and now it seems that the whole army should be wiped out in the end.
Duan Canghai only thought that Yang Ning didn't understand, and explained: "Of the three major dart games in the capital, the Changping dart game is mainly to the south, the Sihai dart game is to the west, and the Rising Sun dart game is to the north, but in the past two years, the Northern Han people have been fighting in Huaishui, and the north has not been peaceful, so the Sihai dart game will also run the north line." ”
"Second Uncle Duan, how is that Rising Sun Dart Game compared to the Four Seas Dart Game?" Yang Ning asked, "Which of these two dart games is stronger?" ”
In fact, he already had a guess in his heart that since the Changping dart game had been on the southern route, it should be excluded, and the only thing that Fluttershy could take away was the Rising Sun or the Four Seas Dart Game.
Although he saw the four seas dart team on the way, and found no trace of Fluttershy, the suspicion is much smaller, but there is no guarantee that it was not the work of the four seas dart game, since it is one of the best dart games in the capital, then there is no way that there is only one dart team.
"It's really hard to say which one is stronger." Duan Canghai thought for a while, and then said: "These two dart bureaus are somewhat involved with the princes and nobles of the capital, most of the dart masters of the Four Seas Dart Bureau are from the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts are not bad. If you go to the west, the Four Seas Dart Bureau has a wider network of contacts, and the black and white courses are more face-saving, which naturally has the upper hand over the Rising Sun Dart Board, and on the contrary, to the north line, the Rising Sun Dart Game is more open. ”
Yang Ning nodded slightly, thinking in his heart, if the Rising Sun Dart Bureau has more connections on the northern front, then its suspicion will naturally be greater.
"Both boards had a team that was robbed and killed halfway through." Duan Canghai said: "I heard that the Sihai Dart Bureau was robbed in a wine shop on the edge of the official road, and all the dart cars disappeared, but all the dart masters and executioners died in the wine shop, and the chickens and dogs of the entire wine shop were not left, and when they were discovered, there was not even a single live mouth." ”
"Didn't leave any clues?" Yang Ning asked, he actually knew very well in his heart that since it was the cicada secret forbearance, those people acted strangely, and naturally they would not leave any clues.
Seeing Duan Canghai shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly what's going on." However, the robbery of darts happens every year, but even people are killed, this is rare, the people of the dart team are measured, if they can protect the dart, they will go all out, but if the opponent is too hard, knowing that they are invincible, the dart team will not fight hard, first save people, and then look for darts. Killing them all like this is not like a robbery, but like a revenge. ”
Yang Ning thought to himself that it was really not a revenge hunt, it was just being implicated by someone, if it weren't for Xiao Guang, the Four Seas Dart Game would not have fallen into the sky.
When he thought of Xiao Guang, he thought that the kid still owed him five hundred taels of gold, if he could really get those five hundred taels of gold, I was afraid that Gu Qinghan would not have to worry.
But I thought that although the stinky boy let himself go to the capital to find him, he didn't even have an address, so how could he find someone in this sea-like capital?
It's just that he also understands that even if he really gets the five hundred taels of gold, he can't give it to Gu Qinghan, after all, the prince he pretended to be was not a powerful character before, so where could he get five hundred taels of gold? If he really wants to take it out, Gu Qinghan will definitely go back to the source, but things are not good, and once Xiao Guang appears, he will inevitably recognize himself, so it is very likely that his pretending to be the son of the world will be exposed, and he thinks that it is better not to meet the stinky boy until he finds Fluttershy.
"And what's going on with the Rising Sun Dart Game?" Yang Ning asked.
Duan Canghai said: "Although the Rising Sun Dart Game is also a dart destroyer, it is a little different from the Four Seas Dart Game. ”
