Chapter 82: Investigate the clues of the two paths

Peach Blossom Nunnery is indeed under the name of Hua Xue, but it is not a household three years ago, but when the hermit settled down with the young Xiao Hua Xue, it was directly transferred to the name of Xiao Hua Xue, and it has been ten years.

The original owner before the transfer was indeed a descendant of Tang Yin, but after asking, he said that the deceased elder in the family was familiar with Mr. Na, and he made the decision to transfer the ownership. When asked by the family who the person was, the elder only said that he was his own person and did not give a detailed description.

He also asked the owner of the pear orchard, after all, the news said that the two almost talked about marriage. But the owner of the pear orchard didn't even know his origin, he only said that he was overwhelmed by his talent and temperament, and he didn't know his name in the past, and he was only called Mr.

Mr. Na lived in the Peach Blossom Nunnery for seven years, and did not deal with outsiders, but only wrote some lyrics and sold them to the pear orchard to live. The surrounding neighborhood only knows that there is such a person, but there is no acquaintance.

After checking and checking, no one knew the origin of the gentleman.

"But since the elders of the descendants of the Tang family are familiar with him and call him his own, there must be no doubt that Tang Yin is in the same vein." Chen Hongmi reported the results he had found in the past few days and concluded.

Chongzhen has also ordered Jinyiwei to investigate, after all, he has been getting more than Chen Hongmi, so he can only count on more time, maybe Jinyiwei can find more clues.

The two drank the tea boiled by Wang Chengen, talked, and watched the grand scenery of Tiger Hill on the other side of the river outside the building. After a while, the ordered dishes were served, and there was a brocade guard on the side who tested it to be non-toxic.

Even if Chongzhen is not fond of appetite, the taste is also used to the imperial kitchen for many years, and the food on the boat and the Suzhou Mansion, although he does not dare to slack off, is still far behind, Chongzhen has had a poor appetite for many days.

This delicious meal with all the color and flavor finally made Chongzhen's appetite great, and even Wang Chengen, who was waiting on the side, also ate more.

Out of the Deyue Tower, Chen Hongmi led Chongzhen to enjoy the garden.

"The closest garden to Deyue Tower should be the East Garden." Chen Hongmi introduced to Chongzhen while leading the way, "The East Garden was originally the private garden of Xu Taishi, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple of the Wanli Dynasty, and later after Xu Taishi died, the descendants were not interested in the garden, and now compared with that time, it is slightly deserted, but it is also one of the top gardens." ”

"Xu Taishi?" Chongzhen recalled for a while, but he didn't have any impression, so he asked, "Why don't I have an impression?" ”

"Xu Taishi was born in the eighth year of Wanli, and in the seventeenth year of Wanli, he was appointed as the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and he was ordered to return to his hometown to listen to the survey. When I got home, I didn't care about the outdoors, and I was able to treat the garden. On the basis of his great-grandfather's other business, he mixed flowers and bamboos, and wandered in them with boards, and finally built this east garden. After a pause, Chen Hongmi then introduced Xu Taishi to Chongzhen, "Xu Taishi's real name is Sanxi, and he was renamed Taishi after the palace test, he was forty-one years old at the time, and he was the director of the Ministry of Labor, presided over the restoration of Cining Palace, and personally planned and directed the construction in detail. Because of his merits, he was promoted to the camp Langzhong. After the construction of Shouling, the soil to set the height, careful accounting, saving hundreds of thousands of money, was given a lin suit, in order to show the favor of the strange, and entered the rank of the temple Shaoqing. ”

Chongzhen pondered for a moment what Chen Hongmi said about Xu Taishi's resume, and asked strangely: "I heard that Xu Taishi's past is worthy of the word Nengchen." I remember that Wanli was calm in the seventeenth year, and there were no major cases, why did such a capable minister have to return to his hometown to listen to the investigation? ”

Chen Hongmi was a little embarrassed, the reason for saying it was not very respectful to Emperor Wanli, but he was also a sycophant, and he still told the truth: "Xu Taishi is Gengjie, dares to speak out, is generous in his life, is hated by others, is excluded by his colleagues, and accuses him of taking bribes." In fact, think about it, if he loves money, how could he save 100,000 yuan when he built Shouling? ”

As soon as he said this, Chongzhen understood, Xu Taishi and Wang Xinyi were virtuous, and they both dared to speak, and it was estimated that the emperor's grandfather was also annoyed by him, so he directly asked him to go home when he was accused, otherwise if there is such a thing as accepting bribes, where can going home solve the problem? Don't you have to spit out dirty silver? And who is the bribe?

Chongzhen was a little envious when he thought about it, that is, there was no shortage of capable ministers in the early days of Wanli, so he didn't pay attention to talents so much. It's like him now, there are not enough talents, and greed for money or something is a small problem, as long as it can solve the problem. Just like this Wang Xinyi, he said that he was a great talent in the world, but he didn't have it, he could only say that he was talented, and he still had a bad temper, and he had to invite him back.

I also remembered that Hua Xue refused to go out, this is a great talent, at least in astronomy and martial arts, I don't think about it as a second person in the world. But think about it again, when personal courage is not the day after tomorrow, he does not have the ability to change the overall situation, astronomical attainments, and it is enough to be willing to help the staff officer, and the official position of Qin Tianjian will not affect the overall situation if he does not take office. So just think about it.

Chongzhen thought about it, Chen Hongmi and the others naturally didn't bother, but they heard a woman's voice from the river on the side of the road: "Someone! Help me! ”

Chongzhen was naturally alarmed, and Chen Hongmi's face was also bad, in this Suzhou City, is it possible that someone dares to commit murder on the street?

Everyone looked and found that the wind and waves on the river were calm, but on a flat boat in the river, a young girl was crying and shouting with an anxious face. A man was faintly visible on the boat, his age was unclear, but he was undoubtedly an adult man. Looking at the costumes, the two should be ordinary fishermen and boatmen begging for a living on the river, not tourists who don't worry about eating and drinking.

The passers-by around were also alarmed at this time, and they all gathered by the river, but apparently, like Chongzhen and the others, did not understand what was happening.

Chen Hongmi's heart was first loosened, and then tightened. It is loose because the girl's call for help should not be a matter of public order, and it is tight because since the call for help, the person who fell to the ground should be in danger.

As soon as Chongzhen waved his hand, there was a brocade guard who didn't take off his clothes, jumped directly into the river, and swam towards the boat. The rest of the brocade guards were wary of the gathered passers-by and guarded Chongzhen.

The river is not wide, and in a blink of an eye, the brocade guard swam to the side of the boat, and flipped on the boat with his hand on the edge of the boat, and the onlookers cheered, and saw that the girl was still pear blossoms with rain, and thought that it was not the time to cheer, and the cheering stopped abruptly.

When Jin Yiwei got on the boat, he saw that the man who fell to the ground was an old man, who should have been the father or grandfather of the girl, and there was no movement at this time. Approaching to investigate, I found that there was no breathing and heartbeat, and although the body was not yet cold, unless Hua Tuo Bian Que was alive and the medicine king Sun Simiao was in the world, there was no help.

When he looked closely, Jin Yiwei found that there was something wrong, although this man looked old, he was actually very strong, and he turned out to be a person who practiced martial arts.

Just about to be on guard, he saw that the old man's eyes suddenly opened, and he quickly made a few movements in his hand, and then his hand returned to its original state, and his eyes were still closed, returning to his previous appearance. It's as if the opening of the eyes and the gesture just now are all hallucinations.
