Chapter IX Invitation
The moon is thin, the wind is quiet, the cicadas and insects are nowhere to be found, and the big trees outside the courtyard are also shrouded in mist.
"Who the hell are you?"
Wang Qian stubbornly raised his head and stared at the man in black in front of him, he was exhausted, but the steel knife in his hand did not dare to relax for a moment, just when he thought that the other party would say to Yang Er, "The one who killed you", the man in black spoke.
"The deceased."
It was still that faint tone, as if the things in front of him were so insignificant to him. The man in black quietly raised his head and looked at the sky, and said, "This is the same thing as I thought, but there is such a variable as you." ”
Wang Qian frowned, standing in the courtyard, the wounds on his body had already solidified, he still couldn't figure out what the man in black was coming from, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to listen to him continue.
The man in black glanced at Wang Qian and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, you will know who I am now." ”
The man in black slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing a face with good facial features and good atmosphere.
Wang Qian's pupils shrank, his heart was shocked, and his expression instantly stiffened, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Yes.... It's you! ”
The man in black grinned at Wang Qian: "Yes, it's me, Qian'er and nephew, I didn't expect to meet again so soon after I said goodbye last night." ”
Wang Qian never expected that the man in black who had been hiding in the shadows tonight was Lin Yongquan. Wang Qian had already understood this case before, at least the perpetrator within the range of Yongqing was Yang Zhi, but he still didn't know what role Lin Yongquan played in this play.
"Why are you here?" Wang Qian was full of incomprehension, just like a mess, and he didn't know where to start.
Lin Yongquan replied with a smile: "Isn't this what I should ask you?" ”
Wang Qian squeaked: "I... I came with these wicked people. ”
"Hahaha, okay, I'll show you this."
Lin Yongquan looked up to the sky and laughed, took out a sign from his arms, and threw it at Wang Qian with a wave of his hand. Wang Qian grabbed it quickly, glanced at Lin Yongquan with puzzled eyes, and then looked down, this bronze medal was impressively engraved with the four big characters of 'Nanzhen Fusi'.
Seeing this, Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and shouted:
"Zhenfu Division, Nanzhen Fusi, you are Jinyiwei's person!"
During the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei had jurisdiction over two yamen, the North Town Fu Division and the South Town Fu Division, the former inspecting hundreds of officials, and the latter inspecting the former.
Wang Qian was annoyed, he only thought that Lin Yongquan was a businessman with a background, but he should have thought that this Lin Yongquan was a person from Jinyiwei, otherwise how could the two Jinyiwei who appeared in Yongqing that day stand in front of the Lin Mansion so respectfully, Jinyiwei is a special institution in this era, not to mention an ordinary businessman, if it is not a member of the imperial court, they will not care about the military and civil officials below.
"Yes, that's right, I'm a thousand households of the Fusi of Nanzhen under the command of Lord Mu Bin, and I have made a special trip to investigate this arms smuggling case in Yongqing this time."
Hearing this, Wang Qian's face sank, Jinyi Wei Qianhu, that was an official of the fifth grade, four levels older than Wang Mao, a small magistrate, and then muttered: "Does my father know about this?" ”
"No, he doesn't know, your father is upright, if he knows about this, he may be startled, you know, this matter is inseparable from Yang Zhi, so for more than a year, I have been secretly visiting and secretly collecting evidence."
Lin Yongquan still has that salty and non-salty tone, as if everything is under his control.
"Yang Zhi is the mastermind of this matter, he has nothing to do with my father, and he still wants to frame my father." Wang Qian shouted at Lin Yongquan.
"Framed? Can Yang Zhi's little tricks hide from us? He is a fool of us Jinyiwei, hehe, I deliberately said that when I went to the banquet at the county government yesterday, in order to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, let them move first. Sure enough, today Yang Zhi sent two letters here, all of which were intercepted by my Jinyi guard, and then forwarded to them after reading them. But to say that Yang Zhi is the mastermind is really worthy of him, he doesn't have that much ability, he is just a pawn, but the big fish on it can't be caught now, so he can only clear the small shrimp in Yongqing first to deter them. ”
Wang Qian was silent, and Lin Yongquan continued.
"Hehe, I know, this matter has nothing to do with your father, but I was very surprised that you would appear here today, just now in front of the window, the light was dim, and I didn't see that it was you, so I exposed your whereabouts and wanted to see who it was, because you led away Yang Er's people, but it was also convenient for me to go down to the tunnel to investigate."
"But speaking of which, I was really surprised when I first saw you, I said how did you appear here, and I thought you had something to do with this matter, and then I listened to your conversation, and I realized that you were completely by mistake today, or you heard something and went here alone, I am not interested in these, I just want to know, who did you learn your good martial arts from? To tell you the truth, I can't beat the eight of them unscathed, you're strong. ”
Lin Yongquan put away his smile and asked as soon as he changed his words.
Hearing this, Wang Qian was embarrassed, but he didn't know how to answer for a while, his kung fu himself knew that it was learned in the army in later generations, and in their army, all kinds of masters in the world would come to serve as instructors, such as the "Easy Footwork" he used just now, that extremely elegant body method, that was at that time, a Taoist of Longhu Mountain was invited to teach them.
After thinking about it, Wang Qian looked at Lin Yongquan squarely and said, "This ability of mine was taught by my master. ”
Lin Yongquan frowned, and then asked, "Master?" Then who is your master? Where are you? ”
"Master, he is a Taoist master on Qingcheng Mountain, traveling all over the world, came to Yongqing two years ago, saw that I have some talent, and taught me some self-defense skills, you ask me where the old man is now, I don't know, because I haven't seen him for almost a year."
Wang Qian had a countermeasure in his heart, so he spread his hands and said without being arrogant or humble.
A smile appeared on Lin Yongquan's face again: "That's right, I see that your body technique is quite a bit of a fairy wind and bones, I think only such a master can teach an apprentice like you, that's it, it's enough, if you have the opportunity, I really want to meet your master." ”
"If there is a chance, the little nephew will definitely be introduced, in this case, Uncle Lin, can I go?"
Wang Qian put down the knife and asked Lin Yongquan.
"Naturally, but there is one more thing, I hope Qian'er and nephew can think about it."
Wang Qian stared, looked at Lin Yongquan, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Lin Yongquan thought for a moment, sighed secretly, and replied solemnly: "The big fish court above has no intention of arresting it at present, this case is so far, it can be regarded as a preliminary result, I have sent a secret letter to Lord Mu Bin, it is estimated that the holy decree will arrive in about three days, and when the time comes, none of the officials related to Yang Zhi and Chen Linchang's subordinates will be able to escape, and even your father should be convicted of negligence, Yongqing's team is only afraid that they will all be replaced." ”
Wang Qian frowned, secretly thinking about this crime of negligence, as if it had existed since ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, this oversight seemed to be punishable by demotion, imprisonment or exile. If that's the case, it's a big deal.
"You know, my father didn't know about this at all, and he has been trying his best to investigate the case, but he was deceived by the gangsters." Wang Qian was unwilling.
Lin Yongquan shook his head with a smile and said: "I understand, your father is upright and upright, but the law of Da Ming is like this, you and I can't control it, I have already inherited the specific rules to Lord Mu Bin, I believe that the above will also be light on your father." ”
Wang Qian sighed, closed his eyes and said, "I know, now I can go, right?" ”
Lin Yongquan smiled even more and said, "What? Before I finished speaking, are you in such a hurry to leave? ”
Wang Qian stood still and didn't answer, just looked at Lin Yongquan quietly.
"I want to invite you to add you Jinyiwei, with your martial arts and the ability to conceal and track, if you don't enter Jinyiwei, it will be a condescending talent. And don't worry, with my guarantee, you are at least a flag officer! ”
Lin Yongquan raised his head and said to Wang Qian.
The summer night breeze gradually blows again, turning the dead branches of the road, as if singing a wonderful symphony.
"Hehe, that's a big temptation."
Wang Qian lowered his head and sneered, then raised his head, and the corners of his mouth drew a range and said, "You think I will be willing to set foot in your muddy waters?" ”
The chief flag officer of Jinyiwei is the lowest official position in Jinyiwei, but even so, he is also a serious seventh-grade official. You must know that at this time, a county is only seven products, and Wang Maoju was born in his forties and only mixed with a seven-grade county. Wang Qian, who was born in Xiucai, can become the general banner of Jinyi Wei before he is twenty years old, which can really be regarded as a step to the sky.
"What? You don't want to? Lin Yongquan's eyebrows were locked, and his eyes looked at Wang Qian with doubt.
