Chapter 64: Strange
As Mr. Wen Duan said, the little evil thoughts that He Junhao initially surged up in his heart may have been just because of the battle of will, but after he actually took action, everything became out of control.
Using the power of the Lu family, with the assistance of the Fan family and Xiao Ting and others at home, the time for the whole matter to investigate the cause and effect was only three days.
On the evening of the same day when the two gentlemen had a quarrel as before, Fan Yangming came to visit and brought all the news that had been thoroughly investigated.
"Qu Zhenhai once did it under He Ji. This plan, it is said that he is a native of Xinxiang, who was conscripted to the northwest frontier in the early years, and he didn't know how to get started, and he mixed into the position of the current Beijing garrison. ”
Fan Yangming glanced at Chu Feng, and then said: "He Junhao is his only son, it is said that He Ji has never treated this son very well, especially after this incident, when the news of He Junhao's arrest and imprisonment reached He Ji's ears, He Ji only said one sentence - life and death are up to him." ”
"At first, I didn't care about life and death, but at this time, I did something like this...... Prison robbery? This is a great sin of the Nine Clans. Mr. Wen Duan said.
"His family has long since run away." Fan Yangming shook his head, "I sent someone to inquire, whether it was He Ji's family or Qu Zhenhai's family, they all ran very thoroughly." Na Qu Zhenhai's hometown is not far from the city of Tokyo, and I asked Qi Da to go on a trip, but it was already empty. I asked the villagers, and they said that they had moved away for seven or eight days, and needless to say, you also know that they probably had premeditated this matter a long time ago. ”
"Premeditated is not terrible, the most critical problem is that a small Jingshi garrison is willing to do such a thing for him...... Take people away from the prison in Tokyo Prefecture. Don't tell me it's something one person can do. Mr. Wen Duan frowned.
Fan Yangming let out a sigh of relief and nodded: "The old gentleman got to the point, what is this plan, we are afraid that we really looked down on him before...... After the autumn season, there were eight fewer people in the camp garrisoned by the Beijing Division. Among the officials of Tokyo Prefecture, there are also five people who have disappeared. Disappeared overnight, and not only themselves, but their families disappeared from the city of Tokyo without a trace. How can this fan many more people than we first imagined......"
"If it just disappears from now on and no longer has any impact on Chu Lang, I don't think any of us will mind." Mr. Wenduan's fingers tapped on the table. "It's just that, judging from Qu Zhenhai's revenge, I'm afraid this He Junhao won't let go easily. Scold! The guards of the academy actually let Qu Zhenhai slip away easily! The old man will definitely investigate this matter to the end! ”
"I'm afraid you don't need to go out, old man." Fan Yangming smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Chu Feng's shoulder, "I can't tell whether this thing is good or bad, but what happened in Qiu Yu of the Painting Academy somehow reached the ears of the official family." I heard that the official family had been angry in the court yesterday and said, 'The imperial examination is not quiet.' How can the name be corrected?' and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. No toleration. ”
Everyone couldn't help but look at Chu Feng, Chu Feng was a little embarrassed by this gaze, scratched his head, and didn't know what to say: "Uh, I should ...... Thank you, official? ”
"If you don't thank you, the officials won't hear it." Mr. Wen Duan shook his head and smiled. "And to be honest, the reason why the official family ordered a thorough investigation has nothing to do with you personally. It was really a shameless thing for the imperial court to have such a thing happening in the imperial examination. It would have been a simple accident if it had been, but now it seems ...... Something we can all find. The details on the court side are naturally more substantial, and I am afraid that the official side has already understood all kinds of things here. A Beijing garrison actually did this kind of thing for his son, escaped from prison and took revenge in the imperial examination, if the court didn't do something, I am afraid it would be unreasonable. ”
Chu Feng nodded when he heard this, but he couldn't help but think of Huizong's noble and leisurely figure in his heart. He couldn't help but think to himself, when Huizong saw his freehand landscape, he didn't know if he would appreciate it......
Seeing that Chu Feng was slightly in a daze, Fan Yangming thought that he was recalling what happened at the imperial examination that day, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I think this is also fate." I also heard about what happened in the field, and after hearing that Chu Lang was burned, not only did I give up, but even rushed the remaining short time to remake a painting...... Now that this matter has gradually spread, everyone is also amazed, saying that Chu Lang is an extraordinary person, and he didn't panic in that situation, which is no longer something that ordinary people can do. Hehe, Chu Lang is a person who can see open. This time, if it is really in the middle of the year, it is naturally very good, if not, there will be a chance in four years, fortunately, Chu Lang is still very young, haha! ”
"Yes, these **** also persuaded him like this." Mr. Wen Duan smiled slightly, "It's good for young people to experience some more ups and downs, and Chu Lang has naturally honed a lot after this battle." And as Brother Tong Fan said, four years is just the kung fu of the white horse, Chu Lang is in his prime, so there is no need to worry. ”
Chu Feng listened, smiled, and didn't say anything.
In fact, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, this kind of freehand painting was not absent in the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was too novel, and it was somewhat similar to the avant-garde fashionism that was a thousand years later, and it was difficult to be accepted by the public.
Moreover, Huizong Zhao Ji can be said to be a representative figure of courtyard painting. Although the style of courtyard paintings will be different depending on the painter, most of them take the noble and delicate road, which is very different from the almost bold style of freehand. If Huizong can't accept it, his last bit of struggle in the examination room can be regarded as useless.
As for what to plan after four years, that is the path that Chu Feng can't choose, but he can't talk about them now.
Qu Zhenhai's escape...... Chu Feng was not completely unforeseeable, when he was painting at the end, Chu Feng saw that Qu Zhenhai was taken out by his Shangfeng, but that Shangfeng looked at Chu Feng a few times with a very peculiar gaze, and now asked from the missing people, sure enough, that Shangfeng was also one of them.
A Jingshi garrison can make so many people die for him, and it is difficult for Chu Feng to imagine what kind of person this plan is. He Junhao has such a father, but he wants to make some achievements in Danqing, which is actually a bit peculiar.
"That's not a good man, there are rumors that his wife was beaten to death by his own hands." Fan Yangming shook his head and talked about He Ji's family background, "He Ji's wife was also born in the family of Shili and the gate of the official eunuch, but her family was in the middle of the road and was raided, and she only married He Ji with the remaining little thin field." The two have been married for a long time, but they only got He Junhao's son, He Junhao is like his mother Thank you, since he was a child, he didn't love those who fight and kill, his brain is clear, and he is very good at reading and writing. I heard that when I was seven years old, I hired a gentleman to teach painting, and since then I have been out of control. ”
Fan Yangming sighed slightly, and continued: "He Junhao's talent is indeed very good, I have seen a lot of his paintings, and there are not many young people like him in the entire Tokyo city. The point is that he is not only talented, but also willing to work hard. Nowadays, there are too many young people who are flashy and loose, and there are not many people who can really work hard......"
Speaking of this, Fan Yangming remembered something, and he laughed himself: "Chu Lang, I didn't say you with this painting. Although Mr. Lu and Mr. Cheng Yuan don't say it, I have heard about your hard work as early as in the calligraphy and painting industry. I heard that you kid is curious about everything, and he is willing to learn everything, and nothing is perfunctory, occasionally he gets a painting he likes, and he often forgets to eat. Ha ha! Now these things are also a strange story in the calligraphy and painting industry! ”
Chu Feng scratched his head when he heard this, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a stupid bird who flies first, and I don't have much talent, so I have to put a lot of effort into learning." ”
"Why should Chu Lang be humble, how many catties and taels of your talent is, don't the people here know it? Ha ha! Fan Yangming shook his head with a smile, and said, "Actually, I have to say that He Junhao's child is really pitiful." has such a talent, and there are more such fathers. On a rainy night about ten years ago, He Junhao, who was in his early teens at the time, climbed out of the wall of his home and found the soldiers who were patrolling the night, saying that his father had killed his mother...... The soldiers just thought it was a child messing around, asked He Junhao's home in a daze, and sent him back. It's just that the next day, He Fu really came to the funeral, saying that the wife of the family passed away due to a sudden illness......"
"There is such a thing." Mr. Wen Duan's eyebrows furrowed, "If the matter is true, then this plan is really not as good as a beast!" ”
Fan Yangming nodded and said, "At that time, after the two night patrol soldiers knew about the funeral of He Mansion, they naturally thought of He Junhao as a child. They didn't dare to hide it, but they didn't want to cause trouble, so they just told the Tokyo Prefecture that they knew. The affairs of Nafu weighed the pros and cons, and they did not want to offend people easily, so they suppressed this matter...... Nafu Shi is now old, and runs a liquor store in the West Market, and I have been there a few times, but I poured him once in the day yesterday, and I finally got these words out from him. Whether it's true or not, it's actually hard to say. I'm afraid only the person concerned knew what happened at that time......"
……
……
At this time, among the towering palace walls in the center of the city of Tokyo, in the quiet and graceful Baohua Palace, Huizong also listened to the same story.
The storyteller is Wang Huang, his eloquence is excellent, and the narration of the entire He Junhao's life experience can be described as high and tidal, which makes people can't help but admire.
"Everything in this world is really bizarre." Huizong leaned on the soft couch and sighed, "It's much more interesting than in the novel." (To be continued.) )
