Chapter 2: The Past
In the afternoon in the city of Nanjing, the scorching sun is high. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAnd this sunlight also illuminates all parts of the city brightly.
But even such a strong sunlight could only make this Jinyi Guard's Zhenfu Si Yamen look less dim.
At this time, a young man wearing a flying fish suit and holding a slender embroidered spring knife was passing through the inner hall of the yamen and walking towards the file library in the yamen.
"Senno-sama"
"Ki-sama"
"Adult"
Whenever he saw his colleagues along the way, greeting him, Ji Gang would also smile and nod his head. He didn't have the official authority of the other thousand households. On the contrary, he is very affinity, and it is precisely because he has no so-called official frame that his reputation as Ji Gang is very good among the brocade guards.
Among the brocade guards, there are 1,000 households and 14 people. Above the thousand households, there are two pacification envoys, one is Huangquan, who destroyed the Shenjian Villa a few years ago, and the other is Liu Jin, who is crossing the Western Ocean with Shi Wuwei. And the pacification is the commander of Zhou Boyong, and the commander-in-chief Qin Weiming.
Therefore, as a thousand households, Ji Gang's identity and status are also very important in this brocade guard. Otherwise, Qin Weiming, as the commander, would not have fought with the criminal department Shangshu in front of the palace gate for him.
However, Ji Gang didn't care about the torture he suffered in the prison of the Criminal Department more than nine months ago. It's just that Ji Gang blames himself very much for the duel between his mentor in front of the palace gate. He knew that his master, who had always been cautious, would make such an outrageous move for him.
Just in Ji Gang's mind, when he was still in a state of contradiction, he had already unknowingly come to Jinyiwei's dossier.
The file vault of Jinyiwei is located in the southeast corner of the inner courtyard of the yamen. There are dozens of shelves in the library, each of which is about ten feet high, and there are eight rows of wooden boards above and below the shelves for placing files.
At this time, Ji Gang was slowly walking to a bookshelf hidden in the inner corner of the library, reaching out and starting to look for a dossier he wanted to know.
Time is passing in a hurry.
Just when Ji Gang opened a dossier with the fifteenth year of Hongwu, a voice that shook his heart suddenly sounded behind him.
"In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, what do you want to do when you look for this dossier from more than 20 years ago?"
As soon as the words fell, Ji Gang quickly turned around and looked at the person who spoke.
In fact, the reason why Ji Gang's heart was shocked was not because of the person behind him. On the contrary, from the moment this person spoke, he already knew the identity of the other party. To his shock, he didn't understand how the other party was able to enter the heavily guarded brocade guard yamen like a ghost.
So, after settling down, Ji Gang opened his mouth and said "Senior Brother".
He just said these two words and did not answer the other party's question.
After that, he looked at the senior brother he was talking about.
A long scar ran from the bridge of the nose through the opponent's left ear and extended to the right ear. And it should have been an extremely delicate face, but because of such a daunting scar, it looked very hideous and terrifying.
He remembered that the first time he saw this senior brother, the scar had already appeared on the other person's face.
And that year, he was six years old, and his senior brother was only fourteen.
At this moment, seeing this senior brother in a linen robe in such a dim room with him, Ji Gang inadvertently remembered the nights when he was a child.
The same dimly lit room, dozens of children of the same age. In order to survive, they picked up their swords and slashed the children in the room. Eventually, the surviving child was able to get out of the room.
But the winner of the moment can't really live, because there is a new round of fighting waiting for him.
And just like that, round after round, round after round. The young Ji Gang couldn't remember how many children he had killed, and he couldn't remember why he was able to survive to the end.
Sometimes, in the dead of night, he wondered if that night would be a dream.
However, when I felt that the countless scars on my body were faintly itchy, such a dream became so clear and so real.
This is the origin of the scar on Ji Gang's body.
This is why even the criminal department Shangshu Jingge, who is used to seeing people who are tortured, will be shocked in his heart when he sees the scars on Ji Gang's body. Because of these scars, many are shocking and shocking.
Thankfully, most of his injuries could be covered with clothing. And the scar on his senior brother's face can't be covered no matter what.
His master only accepted him and his senior brother, two apprentices.
His brother was one of the first children to walk out of that room.
And he Ji Gang is the second batch.
But he often sometimes thinks that if he is the same age as his senior brother and is in that room at the same time, it should not be himself who can finally come out alive.
Because the senior brother in front of him is really strong.
………
Previously, the scenes in his mind were actually only flashed through Ji Gang's mind in an instant. And when he came back to his senses, he remembered that the two were talking to each other in the Jinyi Guard's yamen, and he also frowned, and said, "Senior brother is here, what is the so-called matter?"
His voice was soft, but there was also a hint of urgency. It seems that he does not want to alarm others.
However, in the face of the driving implication in the words of his junior brother, the linen-robed man said with great interest, "What, are you afraid?" ”。
Ji Gang did not answer.
He just quietly looked at the other party's pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"Are you afraid that people will know that you and I have known each other for a long time, and it will be bad for you?" The words of the man in the hemp robe were still relaxed, as if the two were just talking casually in a teahouse, not caring that he was actually in the yamen of the Jinyi Guard.
Actually, what the linen-robed man said was not wrong.
The battle at Osan has been recorded by historians. And the case also mentions a military advisor wearing a linen robe. It was because of the existence of this military advisor that Zhao Banshan's army was completely annihilated.
However, for this linen-robed military division, the imperial court was unable to find the slightest clue. The only thing I know is that this military advisor is wearing a linen robe and has a hideous scar on his face, nothing more. Then, gradually, some people who investigated the Battle of Osan called this military advisor 'Ma Pao'.
Therefore, if others know that Ji Gang has actually known the other party for a long time, then no matter how strong Qin Weiming is, he will definitely not be able to keep Ji Gang's head.
In the face of this senior brother's words that pierced people's hearts, Ji Gang didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, he did not answer, but continued to wait for the other party to say the purpose of this.
Then, when Ma Pao saw Ji Gang's appearance, he also smiled and said, "Okay, let's get down to business......... When the fleet to the west returns, the rivers and lakes will be in chaos. At that time, Wang Zhengnan will also go south. Therefore, the master asked you to inform the sect master of the Yaochi Immortal Sect of the news of Wang Zheng's southward journey...............".
