Chapter 53: The Lock of the King's Key

"Lord Wang, why are you here?"

Unbeknownst to Corning, King's Key had already changed his life. In the original history, he only came to Shandong during the Apocalypse to serve as the deputy envoy of the judicial department. And now, in order to help him forget his New Year's Eve Shi Ziming, he came to the land of Qilu in advance, which was not very peaceful in the Ming Dynasty.

"It's not the case in Yizhou that made a fuss." Wang Zhijian said with a smile, "Since I impeached Zhang Zhizhou, that guy has been borrowing wine all day long to drown his sorrows. The affairs in the yamen are directly left alone. The whereabouts of the two fugitives have not been clarified for a long time. ”

Speaking of the two fugitives, Corning's psychology is somewhat unpleasant. That was the first big deal I made when I came to the Ming Dynasty, and it was inevitable that there would be some misses. After the two fugitives escaped from prison, they may continue to endanger one side again.

However, the king's next words wrote off his conscience debt.

"I can't just do it myself and lead the officials to investigate. However, as soon as we started arranging the arrangement, we received a document from the Qingzhou Mansion saying that two fugitives intended to collude with the White Lotus Sect and were arrested by them. ”

"Okay." Corning couldn't help but praise.

"Good is good." Wang Zhikey continued, "It's just when I bring someone to pick them up. When they heard that I was the newly appointed deputy envoy of the Shandong Provincial Judicial Department, they all knelt down in front of me and asked me to redress their grievances. ”

"Ahh Kang Ning was taken aback, subconsciously glanced at Chai Yinbin not far away, and found that he was still talking and laughing with the people around him, and couldn't help but wonder, when was he wronged? When did he get the love of the officials and the fast ones, and he was able to let the officials avenge him.

If you can't figure it out, you can change directions, and soon, Kang Ning remembered that Chai Yinbin's predecessor, Li Yan, seemed to have an unknown cause of death.

Kang Ning's mind turned, and he suddenly felt that this matter was likely to be related to the White Lotus Sect.

So he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Wang Zhijian replied: "It is the former prefect Li Zhuo, whose cause of death is unknown. The crowd quickly thought that it was the White Lotus Sect's demons, not the accumulated work that seemed to be a disease. So they asked me to find out the truth. ”

It turned out that after Li Zhuo's death, the official version was that he became ill from hard work and died in office. Although the people were reluctant to accept it, they basically agreed with this statement. Because Li Zhuo has indeed done a lot of practical things in office.

However, the prefect who was closer to them was the messenger in the yamen, and they knew more about the inside story, and the suspicions they gave were probably not groundless.

"Why do they think that?"

Wang Zhijian thought for a moment, it is said that this kind of thing involves the confidentiality of the official case, and it is not suitable to tell Kang Ning, but in his impression, Kang Ning is a rich man who has been wary of the White Lotus Sect, and to some extent he is a comrade-in-arms on the same front, and he admires this kid very much, so he no longer hides it, so he said to Kang Ning: "Because Li Zhuo once secretly trained fast archers to eradicate the White Lotus Sect forces in the territory. Therefore, the White Lotus Sect is likely to hold a grudge and seek revenge. ”

"Ahh Kang Ning was stunned, "I've only seen people who criticize the teachings of the White Lotus Sect with articles, and I haven't heard of it, and someone has already done it to them. ”

"Not only did he do it, but it worked very well. According to what the catchers told me, most of the White Lotus Sect members in Qingzhou Mansion had been wiped out. At first, I didn't believe in their ability, so I asked the Yizhou Catcher I brought to fight them, but they were all beaten down in an instant. Some people are so fast that I can't even see clearly. It seems that Li Yan's training with them has been quite successful. ”

Kang Ning hadn't paid attention to this situation before, and he didn't know what Li Zhuo's skills were, and he was able to train a group of officials who were eating and waiting for death to be so skillful. What's more, the White Lotus Sect that he actually forced had to kill him. It's not easy.

As for why the White Lotus Sect wanted to destroy him, Kang Ning already had a basic guess in his heart.

Wang Sen's teachings inherited the teachings of the White Lotus Sect in terms of demagoguery, but in terms of ordinary teachings, he was the inheritor of the Luozu Sect.

The center of the spread of Luozu religion is Jimo. After Wang Sen inherits it, he will definitely not give up here easily. And Jimo used to belong to Qingzhou Mansion, and now although it belongs to Jiaozhou, Laizhou Prefecture, but if you want to come from Luanzhou in the north, it is impossible not to pass through Qingzhou, unless they take a boat to bypass the Shandong Peninsula, otherwise, the north of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, across the Qingzhou Mansion west of the Shandong Peninsula, is their only way.

However, there is suddenly another Li Yan here.

Between the two major mission centers, Luanzhou and Jimo, there was suddenly an additional Li Yan, cutting off the connection between the two mission centers, and it is conceivable that Wang Sen must have gritted his silver teeth.

Sure enough, the speculation of the catchers is not unreasonable. It just so happens that Kang Ning is also carrying out an undercover plan, so he might as well find an opportunity to help the king's key, and in the future, he can climb higher in the Ming Dynasty with this feat.

"Big brother, the kid has been planning something recently, maybe it will help you."

Kang Ning's words stopped here, naturally because he was worried that there were many people around him, and it was inconvenient to talk more.

The king's key has been through vicissitudes, how can he not understand this little thing, so he said: "It just so happens that I want to visit the Chai prefect's mansion, so it is better to go." ”

"Yay!"

At this point, their energy is back to the ongoing competition.

Shi Dian glanced at the distance and diameter of the tree, and then glanced at the bow and arrow provided by the school field here, and after laughing, he took the initiative to give up the first round.

Tan Yixun walked behind the willow tree with great interest to see if Hu Luguang's arrow had penetrated the old willow tree. However, the other side of the willow tree looks intact, not with a large hole in the front.

"It seems that this person's archery is not very strong." Tan Yixun was thinking about it when he suddenly noticed an abnormal protrusion on the surface of the willow tree. Curious, he reached out to touch it, but the bark happened to fall off at this time.

"Ahh Tan Yixun screamed miserably, because his hand touched the sharp arrow cluster and accidentally cut a hole. Although the wound is negligible, even a scholar should not scream. However, Tan Yixun was still shocked, and it was not the wound that shocked him, but the cluster of arrows that came out after the bark fell off.

The people who heard him scream thought that he had encountered some fierce beast, so they rushed over, but unexpectedly, Tan Yixun stared at the cluster of arrows in surprise. Thinking about the location of the arrow shot by Hu Luguang, everyone immediately understood that the feathered arrow had penetrated the old willow tree of the politician.

In the midst of this amazement, Chai Yinbin glanced at Zhang Yuanwai, meaning looking at this situation, do you think it is still worth comparing?

But Zhang Yuanwai knew that Wen Wu was the first and Wu Wu was the second, and now if he told Shi Dian to let him give up this competition, they would have been friends in general, and they might not have friends in the future.

So Zhang Yuanwai finally chose to remain silent. Chai Yinbin turned his head indispensably, and continued with great interest: "Then let's start the second game." ”

Only then did everyone break free from their surprise and look forward to the next competition.

Chai Yinbin said loudly: "In the first round, we competed in the bow and arrow that Hu Lu Zhuang was good at, so in the second round, I don't know what Mr. Jing Yan is good at?" ”

"Marksmanship."

Two red tassel spears were handed to the two of them. Shi Dian quickly played a beautiful spear flower, but Hu Luguang was in a daze with this thing.

The lance is also short.

The spear is a lite version of the spear, which may be difficult to accept, but from the perspective of the history of weapon evolution, weapons such as the Zhanghachi snake spear can still be used on horses, but in foot combat, it is not as "short and dangerous" as the spear.

Since the remnants of the Tang Dynasty in the fifth dynasty, the horse lance weapon to which the Zhangba snake spear belongs has gradually withdrawn from the historical stage, and the spear has become an important weapon for cavalry fighting. In the Five Dynasties and the two Song dynasties after that, there were also many famous generals who were good at spears.

Before that, there were not many generals who used spears, and more of them wielded their horses to fight. The so-called overlord gun, in fact, Xiang Yu should be more grateful to the novelists of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

There is also Zhao Zilong's white horse and silver gun, which is also the same.

The white horse silver spear with deep skill in history belongs to Gao Siji in the Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. It's just that the period of the remnant Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties was the period that literati were most reluctant to mention, so a large number of famous generals, including Wang Yanzhang, were little known in later generations.

And Hu Luguang is a figure in the Northern Qi era, and he doesn't have a lot of contact with guns.

As soon as the two sides fought, Hu Luguang was obviously at a disadvantage, always burly, and in front of Shi Dian, who had flexible marksmanship, he could only be left and right.

Kang Ning quietly poked Yang Dayan and asked him, "If you play, are you sure to take Shi Dian?" ”

Yang said with big eyes: "If I am asked to make a horse lance on a horse, this person is not my triad." ”

Kang Ning smiled: "If you can use a horse lance, one round of Hu Lu Mingyue is enough." ”

Yang's big eyes were slightly embarrassed. Kangning didn't look at him, turned around and went to chat with the king's key.

"I look at this case, and I don't need to look for any evidence, the Eight Achievements were done by the White Lotus Sect demon disciples. It's better to wait for me and the Chai Governor's plan to be completed, and the old and new accounts will be settled with them. ”

Although Wang Zhiji didn't know what their plan was, there were some principled things, and as a scholar, he instinctively didn't want to back down: "Catch the traitor, catch the thief, take the thief, and take the stolen goods." How can you do it without evidence? If you're afraid I'll ruin your plans, I'll keep it a secret. ”

Corning waved his hand and said, "It's best to keep it secret." Not for our plans, though. Rather, for your safety, old brother. ”

"Jokes." Wang Zhijian smiled, "I'm an old man, and I'm not a feudal official on the ruling side. What are they doing to me? ”

Kang Ning shook his head and said, "They don't care if you're an old man or not, or if you're a feudal official. What they care about is that if you report the real cause of Li Yan's death, then the court will definitely not let them go. But then they had to rebel in advance. In order for their plans not to be broken, they will definitely stop you. ”

"It's better to disrupt their plans." Wang Zhiji couldn't listen to Kang Ning's advice, and generously stated, "I wish I could force them to rebel in advance, the long pain is better than the short pain." ”

Hearing this, Corning looked worried.

Although the key is usually able to open the lock without any problems, there are times when it breaks. I don't know if the "lock" in front of Wang Zhi's "key" can be opened smoothly.

Let's hope everything goes well.
