Section 5 Heaven and Sea Wang observe the festival
The fifth company is even more turbulent......
-------------------
In the seventeenth year of the emperor's middle school, the sixth day of the fourth month, Yuan Zhou, Wu Ming
Last night, Yuan Tianyan was found dead in his house: he was horrible, naked, and the skin of his limbs had been cut open with a quick knife, carefully twisted out the veins, and then slowly scraped off one by one with a quick knife – instead of cutting off. Before that, his tongue had been cut off by Zigan and stuffed back into his mouth to make sure he didn't make a sound.
Before stuffing it back, the other party even stopped the bleeding and poured ginseng soup to ensure his vitality...... Judging from these wounds, during the entire cutting process, Lord Yuan still remained awake enough. ”
Even if it was just repeating these descriptions, it made the angry voice of the man who had seen many murders tremble, what kind of bitter hatred should this have, so that he would not care about the risk, he must stay in Yuan Tianyan's bedroom and complete each step carefully?
"Lord Yuan sent me out to investigate...... Check a few people. No matter how late I am, I have to report it as soon as I get back, if not, I may not find out until this morning. ”
Carmen left with the front foot, and Yuan Tianyan sent Ma Daokong out with the back foot - not to recover the money--- for him, that money was really nothing, but there was a person who investigated himself so carefully when he didn't know it at all, which made him creepy.
It took a little time for Ma Daokong to ask from Shaluzhi's mouth about Carmen's origin, he actually didn't mind using force, but Nashaluzhi was really a soft bone, and he only ate him slightly, and then sold the bottom to a clean line, including Carmen's shot this time was an order he placed a month and a half ago, and he drew a total of thirty and a half percent of the arrears, etc., and there was nothing to hide.
Originally, he could go back to his life, but Ma Daokong acted quite meticulously, and finally wanted to clear the bottom of Carmen's sea, so he traced it along the line, and found out from several Carmen's peers that Carmen was now picking up three fat sheep and preparing to take them to Wurong.
It was late at night at the moment, but he followed Yuan Tianyan for more than a year, and knew that if he didn't have news tonight, he wouldn't be able to sleep well, so he would go inside, but who would want to ...... The inner room has long been turned into a Shura slaughterhouse!
While he was afraid of the officer, the first thing he thought of was Carmen! On the one hand, he informed the location of the Shaluzhi branch of the government, and on the other hand, he personally brought people here, as for the discovery that the "three fat sheep" turned out to be the "three big people" who had visited Yuan Tianyan during the day, all kinds of panic and surprise, there is no need to go into detail.
After knowing the identities of the three people, the arresters in Wuming City completely dispelled their previous suspicions, and as for who the murderer was, they also had clues.
"It must be the remnants of Taiping Dao, or the rebel of Bai Yuncai."
When he said this, one of the catchers looked at Ma Daokong with bad intentions: obviously he had the sixth level of strength, even if he could tear this group of people apart piece by piece with his bare hands, he curled up at this time, and he didn't even have the courage to go back angrily.
Zhang Yuankong understood as soon as he heard that most of these catches had been prepared with both hands, if he could find some clues at the scene, if he couldn't find them, he would catch a few fish that he kept on weekdays to deal with it...... Naturally, there are fewer grievances in this, but what does this have to do with the three of them?
Just as he was about to say a few polite words and reveal the matter, Zhang Yuanjin frowned and asked, "Taiping Dao...... Blatantly murdered the officials of the imperial court, they were so rampant in Wuming? ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yuankong and Zhang Yuanhe shouted at the same time in their hearts: the three brothers have different temperaments, Zhang Yuankong is dedicated to the Tao, young and old, Zhang Yuanhe is meticulous, and he is a calm person. Only Zhang Yuanjin, on the one hand, is uninhibited, and on the other hand, he is good and stubborn. On weekdays, he is the one who likes to listen to Zhang Dian's stories about walking the rivers and lakes when he was a teenager, and often expresses his opinion: "Master is still soft-hearted, if I was there at that time." How can you be polite to this group of thieves! "When the three brothers went out of the mountain to practice, they also thought that he was the most troublesome, smashing obscenity, ruining the appearance, Zhang Yuankong and Zhang Yuanhe combined, not as much as Zhang Yuanjin alone. Especially Taiping Dao, in Zhang Yuanjin's opinion, these people defile the Dao Fa, confuse the Dao name, not to mention the abominable Wutong Divine Consistent Dao, they are a few points better than the bald, poisonous and poisonous bald heads!
Zhang Yuanhe knew this brother's temperament very well, and he wanted to speak immediately, but it was too late, the old glass monkey who led the team to catch fast was so oily that he couldn't twist his hands, pressed his finger, and the news around him moved, where he couldn't hear the opportunity? With only a few words of flattery, Zhang Yuanjin immediately looked at Zhang Yuankong and said, "Senior brother, look at ......" The expectation and longing in his eyes were unobstructed.
With a bitter smile in his heart, Zhang Yuankong said: "Yuanhe, I'll take care of the rest." You go with Yuanjin. ”
Seeing that Zhang Yuanhe agreed, he said with a gloomy face: "We don't have much time...... Whether you find out or not, you have to leave tomorrow. Naturally, this was said to the head catcher.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The three of them were divided into two, Zhang Yuankong walked by himself for a while-no one was around, but he felt very neat, and what he originally planned to do until the afternoon was actually finished in the middle of the day, and he returned to the left side of the inn, and he was a little bored for a while.
Among the three, Zhang Yuankong is the most hard, he was born with a pure heart and few desires, except for studying Taoist books and practicing Taoism, he has no hobbies, and the habit of "not doing his job" is the habit of listening to Zhang Dian talk about the ancients and saying some interesting things when he walked the rivers and lakes. At this time, he had nothing to do, so he casually found a storytelling restaurant and went in, and said in his heart: "Let's listen to the book and go back." He thought again: "Yuanjin is as evil as hatred, it is good...... But he is impatient, does not know how to be flexible, and is stubborn and self-serving, so he must always persuade him in the future. But there was an uproar in the audience, and when he looked up, the storyteller who had just started actually rolled up the wood and walked away.
"Hey, storyteller, this is leaving? What about the following? ”
"Below, there's no more below!"
In the commotion of the audience, some sneered, some scolded, but it didn't seem to be unexpected, Zhang Yuankong looked at Wei Shi Nahan, and couldn't help but call a guy to ask, Fang knew that this book store was actually pitiful.
"At the beginning, this store invited Mr. Zhu Crow Zhu, who talked about the books of cultivating immortals and swordsmen, the white jade pillar of the sky, and the purple gold beam of the sea, which was called a good one!"
slapped his thigh heavily, and the guy seemed to be immersed in the glory of the year again, and was stunned for a while before sighing: "It's a pity...... No more below! ”
It turned out that Zhu Crow talked about the most wonderful book, but he suddenly abandoned the book, and since then there has been no news, and he does not know whether he is dead or alive, and he does not care how many die-hard listeners in the audience are scolding or begging bitterly.
"Later, the boss finally found another Mr. Yuan Yuanyuan, who still talks about cultivating immortals, that's called a good!"
slapped his thigh hard, and the guy sighed: "It's a pity...... It's also an eggless one! ”
Like Zhu Crow, at the climax of the talk, Yuan Yuan also mysteriously disappeared, leaving a group of listeners who had been played with twice in a row, and almost burst out and burned the book.
Helpless, the boss searched in every possible way, and finally invited a new debut gentleman, surnamed You Lingji, the word water mine, Mr. Water Lei, he learned the previous lesson this time, and invited a book dedicated to the founding of the country, but who would have thought, this gentleman came up well, but then Liao Liao, after the audience was held, he tried every possible way to shirk, and the boss had to ask for three or five times before he came to the stage once, if he was slightly unsatisfactory, he immediately turned his face and left. Just like Fang Cai, he clearly said that today's manuscript was ready, but as soon as he heard the boss say that he was very tight recently, he immediately turned his face and said: "That is the case, then I will talk about it tomorrow!" ”
"These people...... Don't you know that there is a beginning and an end to your work? ”
"yes, yes."
It's been a long time since I've seen such an indignant customer, and the guy felt like a confidant, nodded again and again, and finally said, "Guest officer, are you a newcomer?" We've always been like this in this place, and six or seven out of ten gentlemen are gone. ”
Zhang Yuankong laughed for a while, and his mood was much more relaxed, but he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, it was the horse Daokong, sweating profusely, running in, plopping down, and kneeling in front of Zhang Yuankong.
“…… Ask for mercy from the Taoist Lord and save a little life! ”
Immediately, his face sank - but he looked behind Ma Daokong, Zhang Yuankong said, "What's going on!?" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I think this person can be used."
It was Zhang Yuanhe who brought Ma Daokong, he was capable, and he had explained the situation clearly in a blink of an eye, it was nothing more than that when he accompanied the visit in the morning, Ma Daokong looked at it more and more frightened, and finally did not dare to stay any longer, and found an excuse for the two to be alone, and immediately knelt down to show his loyalty, wanting to find a way out.
"It's not a small boast, the armament in Master Yuan's mansion was arranged in the next hand. can kill Master Yuan quietly like this, it is definitely not something that these goods can catch! ”
Although Yuan Tianyan is treacherous, he is an official of the court after all, and he is so abused and killed that it is impossible for the gourd to expose it. Ma Daokong has a criminal record, but now he has lost his backer, and he is really a good candidate for the black pot. Even he felt that there was no second one so suitable.
“…… Therefore, even if what you say is true, I ask you, Why should I save you? ”
Hearing Zhang Yuanhe ask this sentence, Ma Daokong felt relieved, groaned, kowtowed heavily, and said: "The little one was the leader of Baiyuncai, and the large and small sects in Wurong are all familiar with ......" said and kowtowed, and said: "Lord Yuan's knowledge is all in my ears, not enough to believe, what I know is all obtained with my own eyes, no matter what the three Taoist masters want to do here, the small self-confidence can still be useful." ”
“…… What do you want to do in the future? ”
Ma Daokong also had a plan: since Yuan Tianyan died, he, the co-leader, would not be able to continue, so he could only try to get out of the immediate calamity first.
"The villain has some savings in recent years, and he is willing to dedicate them to the Taoist master, if he does not give up, he is willing to make a firework, if he does not have this blessing, after the three masters Wu Rong is done, he will find a fleet of people in the next place, and go to sea with them."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After thinking about it, Zhang Yuanhe felt that it was still valuable to take in Ma Daokong, but he still had to ask Zhang Yuanhe to decide what the final result would be.
"There's no need to trust his loyalty...... Just as there is no need to trust Carmen. ”
"That's right."
After thinking about it, Zhang Yuankong also agreed with Zhang Yuanhe's judgment. He also has a lot of praise for Ma Daokong's ability, it is not easy to see the situation clearly in time and turn around successfully, if a person can make such a determination twice in a row, then he deserves a chance. As for the government, when Zhang Yuanhe revealed his identity and said that he could guarantee Ma Daokong, the head catcher had nothing to say except for scolding Ma Daokong for being shameless and changing the court as soon as the master died.
"Well, Yuanjin also made a friend today, and he will come to visit in the evening."
This person is the second young master of the local family "Tianhai Wang Family" in Yuanzhou. It is said that he is Yuan Tianyan's junior, and he is very familiar with it, when he heard that Yuan Tianyan had an accident, he took the initiative to ask for help. As for the character, Zhang Yuanhe described it as "very good, at least better than that Ma Daokong...... A young man who has never suffered a loss. In other words, in his eyes, this is a straight-hearted person, and it is likely that he still has the kind of straight-hearted eyes that have a special ability to cause trouble.
…… However, when he saw this young man named "Wang Shoujie" for the first time in the evening, Zhang Yuankong couldn't help but understand why Zhang Yuanjin became friends with him: this is a heroic young man, confident, sharp, and at the same time sunny and lively, which makes it easy for people to have a good impression.
At the banquet, the four of them talked happily, but what no one expected was that when Wang Shoujie occasionally saw Ma Daokong, he suddenly sank his face and stood up patting the table.
"You dog...... It turned out that they escaped here! ”
Zhang Yuanhe opened his mouth to resolve it, saying that there might be some accidents in the middle, and Ma Daokong should not be a murderer, but Wang Shoujie said disdainfully that of course he knew that Ma Daokong could not be a murderer.
"This dog...... He has this backbone, this kind of guts! ”
It was easy to figure out the relationship here: it turned out that from the time Ma Daokong worshiped under Yuan Tianyan's door, Wang Shoujie resolutely opposed it, because ...... He looked down on Ma Daokong.
"The husband should go straight, the first is not to do, the second is not to rest, and if he dies, he will die and die as a martyr...... It's better than being born a traitor! ”
When it turned out that this was a conflict at the level of outlook on life, the three of them felt absurd, but they also admired it a little, especially Zhang Yuankong and Zhang Yuanhe, in their eyes, Wang Shoujie's idea may be a little ridiculous, but at least it is worthy of respect, only Zhang Yuanjin put forward a different opinion.
"But, Brother Wang."
It was proposed that Ma Daoguang should not be considered a "traitor", that he was "repentant".
"He killed people from Taiping Dao, he rebelled from the white clouds, which is a good thing."
"A traitor is a traitor, no matter how noble the reason."
Looking at Ma Daoguang contemptuously, Wang Shoujie thought about it, and added that it was actually Taipingdao...... It doesn't have to be that damn it.
"Third brother, you probably know less, my family is in business, I have traveled all over the world since I was a child, I have also been to the sea, and I have also entered the mountains, I ...... Met a lot of people. ”
There was some cover-up at first, but young people are young people after all, and under the lure of Zhang Yuanhe, he quickly said all his opinions.
"Taiping Road...... Just like when Bai Yuncai was first designated as a demon cult, there are indeed many traitors in it, but most, most of them are pitiful. ”
Born in a wealthy family, but with a kind heart that sympathizes with the poor, Wang Shoujie does not think that Taiping Dao and the like are so sinful and deserving of death.
"In the end, it's the imperial court...... No, it's because the local government has no way to soothe the people, if there is a big road to go, how many are willing to follow the demon road to kill the head and rebel? ”
Excited for a while, he almost said something rebellious, Wang Shoujie changed his words and almost bit his tongue, Zhang Yuanhe saw it in his eyes, but he felt relieved: he finally believed that the person in front of him was not a fraud and righteous indignation and wanted to say something.
Probably thinking that it was too dangerous to continue to discuss the topic of "why would anyone want to rebel", Wang Shoujie quickly brought the conversation back to the choice between "death" and "survival".
"The sage has already said that life and righteousness cannot be both, and if you sacrifice your life to take righteousness, will the sage be wrong?"
was so excited that his whole face turned red, Wang Shoujie said that he was not talking big, if one day, he also encountered such a test, absolutely, absolutely, he would never be a shameful traitor.
"It is better to die a glorious death when you are young than the shameful memories of old age...... Lead the knife into a fast, live up to the boy's head! ”
