Chapter 654: Happiness and Hardship
For the people of Jinling City, the sudden robbery of the Dharma Field on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month is enough to be used as a talking point in this life. After all, have you ever seen a murder or a robbery? Don't talk about you, your father, your grandfather, I'm afraid your grandfather's grandfather, can't have seen such an unbelievable scene in Jinling City. It can even be said that this life has not been in vain.
However, the people are talking about it, but the parties involved are in an unprecedented predicament. Especially not long after the new official took office, he had just passed the position of head to Yue Qianqiu, and he planned to do a big job, which was even more angry and corrupt. He was going to personally supervise the beheading today, but who knew that the emperor was suddenly summoned, so he sent two captains with a group of elite escorts, thinking that with the coordination of the Wude Division and the Chief Capture Division, there would be no problems, who knew that such a big basket would be stabbed in the blink of an eye.
This is a robbery field! Maybe those backwoods may happen, but it has never been in Jinling City!
Regardless of violating the rules of Jinling City, he rushed to the execution ground at a gallop, and as soon as Yan Xu jumped off the horse, he angrily grabbed a captain and asked sharply: "What about people?" Didn't catch up with Liu Guofeng? ”
The Xuanlong Division is full of people who have been promoted by the eldest princess of Dongyang one by one, and now although the old master has to "give way" after being "seized power", they all know that the eldest princess of Dongyang is willing to let her son come up, plus Yan Xu has not changed the rules before him since he took office, and he also attaches great importance to them, so no one has ever seen him so angry.
Knowing that the matter was serious, even if the captain was pulled by the collar, he didn't dare to complain, so he could only say ashamed and frightened: "Captain Qin rushed to the hole of the sinking hole as soon as possible, but as soon as he went down, the tunnel was blown up. If it weren't for his quick reaction and our quick action to peel off the soil, I'm afraid he would have been buried alive in the ground......"
Seeing Yan Xu's pupils shrink suddenly, he was obviously very angry, he knew that just complaining about the difficulties, Yan Xu might not buy it after coming back to his senses, and hurriedly explained: "After the incident, Wu De Si Han Du knew that he arrived as soon as possible, blocked all the surrounding places, and checked the onlookers one by one before gradually letting them go, and then began to pull the net to check the nearby houses with the chief arrester. Liu Guofeng's appearance is that we can recognize it even if he turns to ashes, and he will never let people go. ”
What if they dug two tunnels nearby? Maybe I'll have left the area around the execution ground a long time ago!
Hearing this, Yan Xu sighed deeply, and then let go of his hand. If he had been there at the time, he could only do so - but ask yourself, he was afraid that he would jump into the tunnel faster than Captain Qin, and with his speed, he would chase deeper and farther, and at that time, as soon as the gunpowder exploded, he would have lost half his life even if he didn't die.
His eyes suddenly deepened a lot, and then he asked in a deep voice: "That hole happened to hit Liu Guofeng's feet, this is definitely not a coincidence." Has this matter been investigated? ”
"Naturally, I checked."
With this voice, it was Du Bailou who appeared in front of Yan Xu. Yan Xu didn't know if the other party had seen the scene where he had just lost control of his emotions and grabbed someone's collar, so he made some unnatural gestures to dismiss the captain, and then greeted Du Bailou.
"The execution ground for people in Jinling City has always been used in this place. But there are rules about where everyone should be when they are executed. There are a lot of killings today, so a small official of the Tianfu Ya who has been in charge of this matter for many years is responsible for surveying the position. It is said that this is because although killing people in the city is conducive to the spread of yin qi, it cannot hinder the dragon veins and the like. ”
Yan Xu has always been an unbeliever, and at this time, in the face of this superstitious thing, he snorted very disapprovingly. Du Bailou didn't care about this attitude, because he himself also scoffed at such exquisiteness.
"All in all, it's the kneeling position of eight condemned prisoners who are condemned by such a small official. Therefore, the hole in the ground can be hit at the feet of people. ”
Yan Xudeng's brows stood up: "After the incident, this person ran away?" ”
Du Bailou narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "No, this person is dead." A sword pierced the heart and killed him on the spot. When I found him, my heart was still warm, and it was clear that he had been dead for a short time. And his expression was full of incredulity, which showed that he probably didn't think that he would be killed at all. And I personally asked the people around him, and found no sign that he had a lot of money, but I found fifty taels of gold in his house, which shows that this person is very cautious. ”
Fifty taels of gold is not a big number for dignitaries, but for ordinary people, it is not trivial. Therefore, Yan Xu can naturally understand the greed of the little official. Of course, if he knew that such a trivial matter was arranged, but in the end it was a robbery of the Dharma Field, and in the end he even gave his own life, this guy would definitely not do it.
He took a light breath, looked around, and suddenly caught the restaurant with the best view near the execution ground, and immediately asked with a finger in his hand: "Have the people who are watching the execution here today asked one by one?" ”
As soon as these words came out, he found that the expression on Du Bailou's face was extremely strange. After being slightly stunned, he felt a little headache and toothache: "Could it be that they are here too?" ”
Du Bailou was angry and funny: "You just went to the Wuying Pavilion today to teach them, and they sent a large group of people out and kidnapped His Royal Highness, don't you know?" ”
Yan Xu only felt that one head and two were big. If nothing happens, it would be fine for these teenagers to come out and show off in the market, but since something happened, the appearance of such a large group of people here is likely to attract some verbal criticism. He rubbed his eyebrows, looked up again at the third floor where there was no figure in sight, but suddenly heard a sound from Master.
Looking down, he saw Yue Qianqiu with Yun Feng, a disciple of Tianqiao Pavilion, walking briskly towards him and Du Bailou. If it was in the past, how could he have found some time to talk to others, but at this time, he had to sink his face, put on a businesslike posture and shouted: "There was just a mess of being robbed of the Dharma field here, what are you still making a fuss about?" Hurry up and escort the King back. ”
But as soon as the words fell, Yan Xu saw Yue Qianqiu grab his wrist and drag him aside without saying anything. On the other side, Yun Feng, a disciple of Qiaoge that day, was whispering something to Du Bailou. Sensing some kind of signs, he hurriedly broke free of Yue Qianqiu's hand, and asked with a tiger face: "Don't sell Guanzi, if you have something to say!" ”
"Master, here's how it ......"
Although he had prepared for the worst before he came, after listening to Yue Qianqiu's explanations and speculations at this moment, Yan Xu still couldn't help but gasp. Compared with the little apprentice who has only been to Beiyan once, and has stayed in Jinling Yue's house most of the time, although he is not as real as Yue Xiaosi, he knows the details of Tianqiao Pavilion far better than Yue Qianqiu.
Today's Tianqiao Pavilion seems to be a trap, a trap, a hidden weapon, these unique martial arts, but a hundred years ago when the Great Wu was founded...... Hehe, what Tianqiao Pavilion is best at is siege ladders, siege tunnels, artillery, catapults, etc., as well as a variety of construction methods! It was only later that Wu Pin was recorded and clamped down on them so much that he gradually changed his career.
It can be said that when the Shengong Gate arrives in Beiyan, it may not be able to cultivate a bunch of sharpshooters in a short time, but if there is a traitor in Tianqiao Pavilion, it will be a big trouble to start a war. In particular, he had heard Master Yun say that some of the artillery pieces in the Tianqiao Pavilion in the past were not inferior to the things of the current Weapons Bureau, and some of the details and performance were even better.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ordnance Bureau was not angry and was robbed of the limelight by civilian institutions, so with the support of some non-martial arts giants in the military, Yu Wupin recorded the crazy suppression of Tianqiao Pavilion, it is estimated that there would be no then, and the Ordnance Bureau would have become Tianqiao Bureau!
Although he thought about it quickly, when Yue Qianqiu repeated the words of the little fat man, Yan Xu was still quite moved. He coughed, suddenly patted Yue Qianqiu's shoulder vigorously, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, when my mother said that the emperor was going to make a prince, I was still not very optimistic about the dead little fat man, but just these words, I will take back those prejudices before!" ”
Thinking that he ran away from home and lived in Jinling City, and later accepted Yue Qianqiu as an apprentice and then entered the palace again after many years, and the little fat man taught people a hard lesson when they met for the first time, but the emperor invited the eldest princess of Dongyang and the old lady Yue to enter the palace together, and the three parents talked about it, and he only felt that it seemed to be close to yesterday. I didn't think that the little fat man would grow up!
"Speaking of which, the little fat man has indeed grown over the years, although it is not too big, but he can barely get by. Thanks to you, otherwise that kid really wouldn't know what kind of crooked melon and cracked jujube would grow into! ”
Not far away, Du Bailou, who was talking to Yun Feng, moved his ears, and the corners of his mouth twitched. If you say such a big rebellion, you dare to say it on this street. Even if there are no idlers around, his ears are not long! However, if he compares Yue Qianqiu and Yunfeng with distraction, he really has to admit that this time the King of England performed really well.
Of course, when this word spreads, some officials in the court who are still hostile and vigilant to the martial arts will not think so.
He came back to his senses and bowed slightly to Yun Feng, who was full of panic, and said, "Thanks to Qianqiu's ability to see and know, you can also explain this joint clearly." With this clue, you can avoid many detours if you want to visit. Rest assured, scum is scum, Tianqiao Pavilion is Tianqiao Pavilion, and General Yan and I will naturally be able to distinguish clearly. This is not a place to stay for long, and you should go back sooner. ”
Yun Feng saw Du Bailou's kind attitude, his mood finally improved slightly, and when he saw Yue Qianqiu smiling at Yan Xu, he also strode over, he hurriedly bowed to Du Bailou, and then followed Yue Qianqiu back to the restaurant just now, and waited on the third floor, before he could speak, he only heard someone suddenly slam the table.
"Yue Xiaojiu, have you forgotten one thing?" When the little fat man saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he said angrily, "First of all, we haven't eaten yet. And then...... Can we still make it to the afternoon class? ”
For half-grown teenagers, eating is a big problem, but absenteeism for no reason...... Same a big question! Seeing Yue Qianqiu suddenly patting his head in annoyance, the little fat man suddenly became proud.
"I just asked someone to deliver the food quickly while you went down, and as for being late for class, I have already asked the guards to send a letter back to the division commander of the Wuying Pavilion. As long as you make up for your homework, you don't think they will be too harsh! ”
Only then did Zhou Jiyue know that when she went down to look for Han Yu, the little fat man also slipped out, what was this for. Although it was funny that he had to catch even Yue Qianqiu's little omission, and this little opportunity had to be performed, but no matter what, the little fat man made up for it well, so she smiled and said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's thoughtfulness, otherwise we will definitely be trained after we go back!" ”
Yue Qianqiu glared at the little fat man slightly angrily, seeing that he looked at him vividly, he was really too lazy to raise the bar with people in such a small place, so he couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay, it's you who are wise and martial, right?" I didn't see it as lively, but it caused a commotion. Everyone hurry up to eat, and leave quickly when they are done eating. After today's class, we'll bump into each other, and then it's time to make a plan. ”
Seeing a person with different faces, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he said word by word: "Have you ever thought about it, this is a bit similar to the Shengongmen defection incident that suddenly broke out when the martial arts record was rebuilt?" ”
Until a large group of people finished the meal with chewing wax, went out of the restaurant to the carriage and horse shop to retrieve the horses, and then got on the horse and roared away, and returned to the Wuying Pavilion to start the class after being reprimanded lightly, they didn't return to the class at all, and they were all chewing Yue Qianqiu's words.
The one who was able to stay and be pulled to the Wuying Pavilion by Yue Qianqiu was either befriended with him not long after he came to Jinling, or from the Qunying Society, after experiencing that night of chaos, he found that the essence of the Qunying Club was not pure, so he turned back to the young heroes of the shore, not to mention, the lessons of the car in front of the Shengong Gate are still there, and because of that incident, not only did Qing Yunian and the others and the two elders be robbed, but even almost calamity to other sects, who can sit and listen to the lecture?
Especially the three disciples of Tianqiao Pavilion, the more they think about it, the more they are afraid, the more they think about it, the more worried they become, all that is turning in their minds is a conspiracy against Tianqiao Pavilion, and they can't wait to get out of class immediately at this time, and then rush back to Tianqiao Pavilion's contact point in Jinling to send a letter back. Of course, there is also a hidden fear of the greatest in them.
If it's just that the three uncles and nephews of the public loser insist on going their own way, if the entire Tianqiao Pavilion is bought by Beiyan, and the previous disposal of the rebel Liu Guofeng is just a cover-up, then where will they stand?
Although the two military strategy classes in the afternoon were originally in the Wuying Pavilion, they were also specially transferred to the afternoon in order to take care of the little fat man's progress, so it was long and difficult, and there were many people who were distracted.
Why does Wuyingguan look more terrible than Guozixue?
Yue Qianqiu is used to the setting of the in-class exam, and as soon as Mr. left at this time, he knocked on the table and said, "Okay, everyone will worry about the exam later." I just had a bold guess to say it out for everyone to discuss and discuss. ”
After a pause, he smiled and said, "You say, will Lou Ying come back?" ”
Well, this is not called opening the mouth, this is called bold assumptions, careful verification...... Anyway, there is a powerful imaginary enemy, and it is easier to motivate everyone to work together.
After a moment of silence, there was an uproar. At this time, he said with a smile: "Although everyone once picked up all the nets of the Autumn Hunting Division in Jinling because of Gonggong Chen's orders, it was only a small drill after all. This time, let's take Lou Yingchang as an imaginary enemy and take this incident as an annual practical lesson in Wuyingguan, how about it? I'll go to the gentlemen to discuss it in a while, and try to squeeze out ten days and half a month to settle the matter of this robbery first! ”
He glanced at the little fat man as he spoke, and coughed dryly: "Of course, during this time, if His Royal Highness the King of England comes, he will go to the King of Jin to listen to the lecture alone." ”
Unexpectedly, the little fat man, who had always been sticking to Xiao Jingxian, changed his face several times at this time, and finally said categorically: "No, since we are classmates, we share blessings and difficulties, and I want to join in such a big matter!" ”
