Chapter 27 The Twin Swords and the Beginning of the Storm

Righteous Alliance!

Ning Jiang wrote these three words on his Shu paper, circled them with a quill pen, and connected them with thin lines such as "Hechongmen" and "Five Thunder Views".

The Quanqing faction developed rapidly, and in just a few years, there was a huge force in the capital, but its weakness was precisely that it developed too fast, and many of its hands and tails had not been wiped clean. Although the oppressed and annexed small gangs, one or two alone can no longer resist the Quanqing faction, but once they are connected, this force will not be lost to the Quanqing faction.

Killing Bao Qing, on the one hand, is to suppress the forces behind the Quanqing faction and Chun Jianli, and on the other hand, it is to cut off the tentacles between the Quanqing faction, which is not stable enough in the capital, and the nine lower ranks such as kabuki and pawns at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, so that they can't pay attention to the secret conspiracy.

But now, with the return of thousands of people who went to the capital, the elites of the inspection department from all over the country will also leave the capital and go to various places. The invisible sword hanging above the rivers and lakes of the capital will also be relaxed. After all, the rivers and lakes will always be there, and in order to try, there is no problem in suppressing it for a month, but it is impossible to suppress it all the time.

Even, in the month during the examination period, the "rivers and lakes" that were like a pool of stagnant water, with the dispersal of thousands of students, have begun to rebound in the corners that the imperial court cannot notice. As for the Sanfa Division Yamen, which is called the "Six Doors" by the characters in the rivers and lakes, although he noticed this, he didn't care too much.

If you want to avoid this kind of thing, unless the world bans weapons, but that is impossible to do. Or, like Confucianism and Taoism, open an ascending channel, so that every martial artist, like a Confucian student, becomes cautious for their future, but to let the Confucian officials in the court give an ascending channel to the warrior, it is even more impossible than banning martial arts in the world.

It's just that the corpse splitting case in the capital that appeared during the examination attracted most of the attention of the Kaifeng Mansion and the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions, and they have not yet realized that this year's rivers and lakes are more turbulent than usual.

On the eighth day of April, the weather has become extremely hot.

The status of "tribute student" obtained by the examination is only a transitional nature, unlike when you are just raised in the examination, there is a lot of entertainment.

But because "small three yuan" is relatively rare, Ningjiang is naturally inevitably invited by some dignitaries. It's just that this time, as long as he can accept the entertainment, he basically doesn't refuse, and he copied a few poems on the way, and his reputation became even more famous for a while.

On this day, Ning Jiang received an invitation from the Ministry of Officials, of course, it was not the Ministry of Officials who invited him, but Zheng Xian, the son of the Ministry of Officials.

Although Zheng Xian did not participate in the examination and was not a tribute student, because he was a "superior student" of Guozixue, he could enter the palace examination without examination, and it was normal to invite well-known students who came out of the examination to enter the relationship in advance.

Just because he is the son of the official book, the invited tribute students have no reason not to go. After all, once they are released as officials in the future, the officials will manage their performance evaluation.

Of course, Ning Jiang had no reason to refuse, so in the afternoon, he just called his sister over and arranged for her to do something at night, and then went to the meeting.

Xiaomeng, who was given the task by his brother, was a little pale......

***

Ning Jiang came to the Zheng Mansion where Zheng An, the secretary of the ministry, was located.

On this trip, Zheng Xian invited a lot of guests, and most of them were first-class students who would take the test this time.

Zheng Xiang, as Zheng Xian's younger brother, naturally came out to entertain him, but unfortunately Lu Zhiyuan didn't appear, otherwise Ning Jiang would like to ask him what his ranking is?

However, Zheng Xian actually invited Song Junzhe.

When Song Junzhe saw Ning Jiang, his face was pale, but he still arched his hand after all. Ning Jiang didn't care about returning the gift.

Because it's a banquet for young people...... said to be young people, in fact, there are a few new tribute students in their forties, and most of the students are also in their twenties and thirties, and there are not many young people like Ning Jiang. However, among the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty, more of them are ranked according to the year of the scientific examination, and those who are guests today are either Zheng Xian's friends, or they are about to participate in the upcoming palace examination with Zheng Xian, so no matter how much age difference there is, it can be regarded as the same generation.

Zheng An and his wife also came out, said hello to everyone, and then returned to the back house.

When he took his seat, Zheng Xian wanted to ask Huiyuan, who was taking the exam, to sit in the first place, but Ning Jiang naturally refused...... It's not because he's humble, it's the "proper righteousness" of a scholar. If Zheng Xian didn't invite him to the first seat, it would be Zheng Xian's faux pas, and if he really sat in the first seat, it would be his arrogance. Pushing back and forth is a must, no way, how tired the reader is.

Of course, in the end, because Ning Jiang repeatedly resigned, he still arranged the seats according to his age...... Although according to his status, Song Junzhe, as a member of the royal family, has the highest status, but tonight is a "scholar's banquet", and the identity of the prince of the county prince's mansion does not play a role on such an occasion.

After everyone sat down, Zheng Xian said: "Actually, I also invited a beautiful woman today, but that beautiful woman said that she offended a certain guest and talent here, and claimed to be shameless......"

He paused deliberately, and when the others heard it, since they were "beautiful", what were they waiting for? Hurry up and have a look? As for offending someone here, no matter who offended, please come and give a salute, and everyone will be considerate.

The vast majority of people don't remember any "beauty" who offended themselves, besides, since it is a "beauty", what does it matter if it is offended, I must be magnanimous to the beauty? So, they all coaxed Zheng Xian to hurry up and invite the beautiful woman out.

Zheng Xian saw that the atmosphere was coming, so he clapped his hands and asked everyone to stop the noise first. Then he said: "That beautiful woman said that she had made amends, and she was willing to make amends with the qin song and obtain the forgiveness of that talented man, so that she dared to show up, and I would like to ask you to reward it." ”

Everyone quieted down, three rockeries, synthesized into a "mountain" shape, on the other side of the mountain, the sunset was long. Green smoke was rising, and it was clear that someone was burning incense on the stove on the other side. Then, the sound of the piano is like a pearl and jade, and the linlang sounds, first like silk bamboo, pleasant to the ear, and then like spiritual rain, quiet and quiet. All of them here are talented people with learning, just at the beginning of this one, you know that the beauties behind the mountain, with outstanding attainments, are holding their breath.

The sound of the piano is melodious, narrating the romance, and the audio-visual entertainment is extremely enjoyable, even Ningjiang can't help but be slightly moved, the person behind the mountain, in the piano skills, is only afraid that it is no less than Qimeng.

In the sound of the piano, a slightly sad, girl's voice on the side of the heavenly sound, sounded beautifully: "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart." Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound......"

***

At the same time, in the inner city, the detailed inspection of the department's office, the "iron-faced divine decision" Cen Feihu took the report submitted from around the capital, and frowned tightly.

Beside him, there were several white dao masters of the detailed inspection department, one of whom said: "Boss Cen, do we care about this dispute or not?" ”

Cen Feihu said angrily: "What's the matter? This is a gang dispute on the rivers and lakes, and looking at it like this, it is clear that He Chongmen invited helpers from all over the world to retaliate against the zombie door, we didn't care when the zombie door killed He Chongmen, and now He Chongmen in turn kills the zombie door, let's take care of it, this is not a clear pull bias? If you really want to do this, what will the rivers and lakes say about us in the future? ”

During the day today, because of the annexation of Hechongmen, the zombie gate that was in the limelight, the rudder of each branch was suddenly picked, and it is conceivable that Hechongmen came prepared this time. No one thought that the revenge of He Chongmen, who was about to be driven out, came so quickly, so violently, and it was chosen not long after the end of the test, and the rivers and lakes in the capital that had been forcibly suppressed for more than a month appeared again in various disputes, and the main force of the inspection department dispersed in order to ensure the peace on the road to the hometown, and the Qifeng Mansion was not able to solve the murder and dismemberment case within the time limit stipulated by the Son of Heaven, and the Kaifeng Mansion Yin Gou Wenbin had just been deposed, and the newly appointed Qifeng Mansion Yin had not yet been selected. It's a headache for them.

The other person frowned and said, "At least press them, the palace test is not over yet!" ”

"How?" Cen Feihu said, "Tell the young master of Hechong Gate that you are too eager to attack this time, and the zombie gate is not ready, so you will do it when they are ready?" People's fathers are dead, and they didn't do it until the end of the test, which has already given us face. ”

Throwing the report into the pile of papers next to it: "Throw this report here...... You don't think you see it. ”

In order to ensure the safety of these scholars, but also to maintain the prestige of the capital, even if it is a small case, it must be dealt with as a big case, not to mention this kind of deliberate provocation of the imperial court.

But now, in addition to the more than 100 tribute students, talented people have left Beijing, and the security is naturally much lax. In addition, disputes like this kind of rivers and lakes are not under the control of the Kaifeng Government, as for the Criminal Department, as long as the inspection department below does not report, the power has not happened, let alone enough to support it, and it will be played in front of the Son of Heaven.

It is precisely because of this that the murder and dismemberment of the corpse during the examination, although only one person died, it was a major case that shook the capital and made the Son of Heaven angry, and He Chongmen's revenge on the zombie gate, although there were many more dead, but as long as the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions did not report it, the Son of Heaven did not know, the court did not ask, and the place did not matter, after a year or two, it would be as if there was no such thing at all...... Anyway, the people who died were those Jianghu people who had no roots and no roots, and if they died, they died.

In the distance on the other side, in Xinzheng Lane, in an unmanned pavilion, a girl in a white dress and white skirt had a white flower with filial piety on her bun, with Mai as her half arm, and a mandarin duck knife in her waist.

Behind her, stood a young woman, ordinary, at first glance.

This girl is Ning Xiaomeng, but after Qin Wuyan's disguise, even if her brother is here, at first glance, I am afraid that she will not be able to recognize her.

In the courtyard of the house ahead, a group of men and horses galloped out and hurried to the gate of the outer city. Behind her, Qin Wuyan whispered, "Girl! Dian Jie, who the master wants you to kill, lives there, Dian Jie himself does not know martial arts, but he has five powerful guards by his side, in addition, there is also a master of the zombie gate, called Kang Taiping, who is good at using poisonous knives and hidden weapons, when facing him, you must be careful. In addition, the lord's request ...... Girl, do you remember? ”

"Kang Taiping must die, Dian Jie's head must be cut off and taken away, but the other people I met on the road all picked off the tendons, and none of them could be allowed to die, right?" Ning Xiaomeng lowered his hand slightly and looked out the window. Although it was not the first time to kill someone, at that time, when I killed those people outside the True Martial Arts Temple, I thought that my brother had been killed by them, so I didn't think too much about it.

But this time, it was a little different, the step-by-step plan in advance was to take someone's life, and before she could do it, it brought her an inexplicable sense of nervousness, and she had to cut off the person's head and take it away...... However, she had to do it.

- "This kind of thing in the future...... Let the little dreams do it. ”

If she doesn't do it, then her brother has to do it, she feels that she has grown up, she has to do more and more things for her brother, she can't always let her brother take care of her, but she can't share her brother's worries.

The fiery sunset slowly dissipated as the sky darkened. In the courtyard of the mansion, the last group of men and horses were transferred because of the picks in various strongholds, and rushed to other places to help.

Qin Wuyan said: "Girl...... It's time to get your hands dirty! ”

A beautiful figure flew out of the window, landed on the ground, and rushed towards the mansion in front of it at a speed like lightning. With a loud shout, it was obvious that someone was about to ask a question, followed by two sword lights, flying in the darkness, and slaughtering into the hospital like a dragon.

Qin Wuyan stood at the back of the house, looking at the figure who had not been admitted to the hospital, and thought in his heart: "Will the master be too cruel to the girl?" This kind of thing doesn't have to be left to the girl! ”

……

***

The sound of the piano is melodious, floating in the garden, the crane flies to, and the clouds are light.

The girl's voice is like the sound of heaven, as if it has driven the rain of flowers in the sky, fluttering and wonderful: "Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it." Even if I don't go, Zining won't come...... Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like a ...... in March"

With a soulful singing, it slowly dissipated behind the rockery. The students in the banquet were still immersed in the afterglow of the three feet around the beam, and it was unforgettable for a long time. After a while, Song Junzhe put down his wine glass and praised it: "This woman's piano music is comparable to that of the eldest princess, even in the entire capital, there are few people who can match it, I don't know which girl it is, and which talent here is offended?" ”

The others also praised and wanted to invite the beautiful woman who played the piano out to see her. Ning Jiang was rubbing his wine glass, looking a little cold, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth...... It turned out to be her?

Zheng Xian looked at Ning Jiang and said with a smile: "That beautiful woman admits that she has offended Ning Dacai, and she doesn't dare to show her face in front of Ning Dacai, I wonder if Brother Ning Xian can forgive her for her sin in the face of the foolish brother and everyone?" ”

Ning Jiang said lightly: "Brother Zheng, don't laugh!" Xiao Sheng really doesn't remember, when did Miss Jianli offend Xiao Sheng? ”
