Chapter 52: There is a sword leader in Gangneung
The clouds are gone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The summer rainstorms came and went, tearing a crack in the sky that had been dense with ink, the dense cumulonimbus clouds had fermented, the sharp storms had stopped their strength, and the rushing streams had merged into lakes after the torrential rains.
The pond overflows the edges, and the white lotus flowers are covered with crystal clear water droplets, shining in the sunlight. The red dragonfly flapped its wings and stayed on the lotus petals, and the sound of the carriage wheels pressed over the bluestone street on the riverbank, startling the carp that was breathing, and turned and dived to the bottom of the river, leaving only layers of spreading ripples.
Chen Zhongqing sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, although the Qin family had agreed to cooperate, but he was still not at ease enough, after all, there was no basis for what he said, but even if they wanted to regret it, he was ready for the follow-up. Because for the imperial court, whoever is the emperor and merchant is a truth, as long as the brocade silk supplied to Bianliang continues, they don't pay attention to the intrigue between the merchants, and Qin Shaoyou and Qin Danqing have a chance to take advantage of it because both families are surnamed Qin.
The second move has been dropped, and the big dragon that begins to surround the opponent is the next step to enter the most crucial move. He opened his eyes and said to Jia San outside the car curtain, "Old Jia, please do one thing." ”
"Huh?"
Chen Zhongqing narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice, and said to the people outside the curtain, "Find a way to spread the rumor that I want to settle accounts with Qin Shaoyou, and be sure to let the young master of the Qin family hear about it." ”
When Lao Jia heard that it was such a thankless chore, he immediately frowned, raised his long whip in one hand, and said after discussion, "Young master, you are difficult for a strong man, Lao Jia is just an old servant, do you say that you want to settle accounts with their family?" People don't think I'm crazy, can't I? ”
Chen Zhongqing picked up the "Spring and Autumn Period" in his hand again, turned the first page, closed the book in his hand again, and was irritable in his heart, regardless of his complaints, he insisted, "Nonsense, two jars of high-quality Huadiao wine." ”
“……”
Chen Zhongqing said calmly, "Three altars of high-grade Huadiao wine. ”
A flattering reply immediately came from outside the car, "...... Okay, no problem, I promise to do it properly for you. ”
Chen Zhongqing closed his eyes again and stopped talking.
After returning to Tsing Yi Lane, Chen Zhongqing said hello and went to Zhang Xun next door to play chess, and then there was nothing for him to do, and everything to be done had been done. It's up to the other party to take the next step.
Lao Jia took off his hat and clothes, put on a light short placket, looking like a servant of a down-and-out family, he said hello to Chen Zhongqing and turned around and went out, walking on the road, no one would care about this rickety old servant, he lowered his head, the folds on his face almost wrapped the originally small eyes into it, the shabby straw sandals trampled on the stagnant water, and walked in the direction of Yutoufang, walking through the streets full of sewage, and the thieves and thieves stared at him with malicious eyes, and his eyes wandered over Lao Jia. After confirming that this was a poor ghost who couldn't squeeze a penny, he glared at him unwillingly, and scolded in his mouth.
Lao Jia is like a slave who has been bullied, only to avoid those idle gangsters. Finally, his footsteps stopped at the door of Jufu Building, he looked at the plaque, his originally squinted eyes suddenly opened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he walked in.
There are many people in the Jufu Building, and the poor and destitute scholars hide in the corner and eat quietly, ignoring the things outside the window, the outlaw holds a toothpick in his mouth, and puts one foot on the bench, looking at the passers-by with gloomy eyes, ready to take on the black work at any time. There are also rich and noble people who are richly dressed, picky and picky, and then throw down a bag of silver and report the other party's name in their mouths.
All kinds of people with evil intentions gathered here with different secrets, Lao Jia's intrusion was like a wolf pack breaking into a sheep, the originally noisy hall calmed down, all kinds of complicated eyes focused on him, the shopkeeper frowned, stepped forward, and took a few copper plates to send him away.
"I'm looking for someone."
"There's no one you're looking for here, get out of here."
The other party's answer was crisp and neat, and Lao Jia glanced at him and was indifferent.
The shopkeeper shook his head, didn't talk nonsense with him, and gave a look to the people around him, and one of the strong men with a dark body immediately stood up and walked towards Lao Jia. They will never show mercy to idle people who get in the way.
The shopkeeper turned around and left, leaving only one sentence, "Abolish him, and then throw it out, don't smash the tables and chairs." ”
The strong man laughed fiercely, the scar shook with the horizontal flesh on his face, and his left hand stretched forward to grab Lao Jia's neck, but the old man who was not amazing made a preemptive move, grabbed his thick arm with his left hand, and his right hand made a knife at an indistinct speed, and a short knife ran through the back of his hand and was nailed directly to the table.
The action is done in one go.
The attack was too fast, and no one could see what had just happened, only to see that the murderer who had just done it had already knelt in front of him, and a long knife stained with blood penetrated the palm of his hand, and the blood kept dripping down the tip of the knife. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, including the arrogant shopkeeper just now.
The people around all stood up, realizing that something was wrong, and the rich and noble people who entered the house to negotiate fled in a panic, and soon only a group of murderers were left in the hall to surround the old servants who were angry and drew knives and hurt people.
The hall was filled with cold light flickering, and swords were facing each other.
"I said, tell your shopkeeper to come out."
Lao Jia's voice was not loud, and he only said two words, but it made some people present feel stunned and involuntarily clenched the knife.
The shopkeeper's face was pale, and he said to the murderers who were doing business around him, "What are you doing in a daze, abolish him." ”
Lao Jia took out a short knife from his sleeve with his right hand, glanced at the people around him, and asked word by word, "Do I kill all these people and go up to the second floor, or will he go downstairs by himself." ”
After speaking, he clenched the dagger stuck in the table with his left hand, and rotated it ninety degrees clockwise, and the shouts of the man who fell on the table were heartbreaking, and the people who listened were terrified.
Everyone was about to make a move, when a deep and calm voice came from the second floor.
"Stop."
Everyone looked upstairs, only to see a man in a green shirt standing on the second floor, looking at the railing, frowning at everyone downstairs, and no one dared to move his steps for a moment.
Only Lao Jia looked at the calm man upstairs calmly, and the movement just now finally led to the great Bodhisattva hidden behind him.
"A few of you take Ah Fu down to heal, and the idle people will go out, Xiao Er, Jufu Building will close early today."
The shopkeeper nodded knowingly and immediately ran to close the door. At this time, the others put away their swords and sent the injured servants to heal, and soon the entire hall was empty, leaving only Lao Jia, who was shrunk in his sleeves with his hands, half-squatting on the stool, looking at the old ghost Qi in front of him, and said with disdain, "The little ghost head who led the donkey to Qi Lao Dao back then has grown up now, and he has started to kill people and trade, if your master who has ascended to the gate of heaven knows about it, he will definitely be angry and come back to life." ”
The old ghost Qi, who was still very young, touched his head, disapproving of Jia San's ridicule, and said with a smile, "When Master Qi Huangting was seated, he once said that I am not suitable for the path of cultivating immortals without fighting with the world to explore immortality, and the red world is my destination. I also thank the master for teaching the three-legged cat kung fu back then, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take on the porcelain work of killing people and buying and selling. ”
Lao Jia sighed dejectedly, "It's a pity that I can't see the grandeur of Qi Immortals slashing Qiantang with a sword anymore." ”
The old ghost of Qi sneered, "Jia Ye is not the same now, he is willing to enter the Chen family as a servant, and the Jiangling Sword Leader of the past is now also dying, with all due respect, now this world is no longer the rivers and lakes of the past, can a person fight again, can he beat the trampling of thousands of troops and horses in the imperial court?" Don't keep worrying about the rivers and lakes, they are already old. And Jia Ye, you also have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what are you looking for today? ”
Jia Sanye said calmly, "Someone bought a friend from you who murdered my young master, and almost even took my young master's life." ”
Picking up the teacup casually, Qi Lao Ghost slowly tasted the fragrant tea on the table, and almost spit out all the tea in his mouth when he heard this. He hurriedly cleared up the relationship, "What did you say?" Who would dare to attack the son of Shangshu's right servant so boldly? Crazy? Jia Ye, I swear to God, I really don't know about this. If I knew, I wouldn't dare to take this business. ”
"The news is quite well-informed, I even know about serving as Shangshu's right servant, don't worry, I will calculate this account slowly in the future, now I ask you to do another thing, do it well, Shangshu's right servant shoots Lord is not to blame in the past, if you don't do it well, after Qin Shaoyou's family is full of beheading, it will be your turn next."
The other party wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied repeatedly, "Okay, you can do whatever you want me to do." ”
"You asked someone to tell Qin Shaoyou, just say that Chen Zhongqing will definitely not let him go about this, and it is useless for the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to stop him. Whatever you do, I'm going to let him hear about it in a few days. ”
Old Ghost Qi's mind was lively, and he generally understood something with a few rounds of his eyes. But what this kind of high-ranking official of the court wants to do, he can't refuse.
Lao Jia waved his hand and asked, "Do you want to charge me money just to tell you this sentence?" ”
After hearing what he said, Old Ghost Qi shook his head with a wry smile, "If you don't accept it, who of course won't accept it, dare not ask your old man for money?" ”
