Chapter 14 The Fundamentals of the State
"I want to thank Yuanming and Kaigu this time, if I hadn't met the two of you, the old man would have been worried about his life," Di Renjie got out of the carriage and thanked Li Rong and Li Kaigu.
"Di Gong has a good reputation, it was a gesture, and he should have helped," Li Rong arched his hand and said, "However, how did Di Gong offend the Wu family, the person who fought with me just now was Wu Chonggui, the third-generation disciple of the Wu family. ”
"Samurai?" Di Renjie frowned and stroked his beard.
"Shisha" Chang Jian made a feud with himself because his sworn brother was killed, but the Wu family has no enmity with him. Now that I think about it, it was the "Dancing Phoenix" who sheltered Shi Sha and the others, so it's no wonder that they haven't been caught. However, the Wu family will not help Shi Sha and others avenge their blood hatred for no reason, on the contrary, the Wu family is the mastermind behind the scenes, directing Chang Jian's action.
What does Wu Sansi want to do? Di Renjie was once one of the controllers of the underground order of the Tang Dynasty, and he was no stranger to Wu Sansi, he thought that he had not directly offended him, let alone angered the queen of heaven, so Wu Sansi must have ulterior motives.
Di Renjie shook his head, he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only put it down first.
The masked samurai retreated in a hurry, leaving behind nearly ten corpses, more than half of whom died.
Before the operation, Wu Chonggui apparently sent people to intercept pedestrians at both ends of the official road, so that no one could approach the scene.
After a while, a group of travelers hurried over, wanting to take advantage of the nightfall, the county seat closed and went to the city.
"Ah" saw blood all over the official road, and stumps everywhere, he couldn't help but be frightened, and ran away.
After Di Renjie thanked Li Rong, he walked up to the corpses of the masked black-clothed warriors and examined the corpses with a solemn expression.
"What's so nice about this corpse?" Li Rong said in his heart, "Anyway, it has been determined that it is the Wu family." ”
But Di Renjie examined it quite carefully, lifted the black scarf on the warrior's face, observed the face of the deceased, and then examined every detail of the corpse from head to toe.
After a while, more than a dozen heavily armed officials came running from the direction of Huichang County, presumably because they had received reports from the fleeing merchants, and these usually slow officials would come so quickly.
Now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and the people can still be called rich, although they can't talk about the road, and there are not many things to cut the path, ordinary people just fight and make a drink, and there are murders and goods, and it also happens on the official road, near Gyeonggi.
The death of a person is a major event, which is related to the performance appraisal of the county order, and if several people die at the same time, it is a first-class case, which will definitely affect the promotion of the county order. Following the official was the Huichang County Order and the County Cheng.
"You and other thieves, you are not tied up, and you dare to rob and kill merchants in broad daylight?" Huichang County Cheng held a horizontal knife and pointed at Di Renjie and others who were conducting an autopsy and said sharply.
"Shut up, this is Lord Diren Jiedi of Ningzhou Assassin, Lord Di returned to Beijing after being edicted, and was robbed and killed by thieves on the road, and these corpses were left by thieves." Defoe exclaimed.
"I don't know if Master Di has an official to guide him?" Huichang County ordered the crowd to make his debut.
Huichang County is close to Chang'an, which is considered the land of Gyeonggi, and the officials who can serve here have some eyesight, and they recognize Di Renjie, who is wearing an official robe, as an official, and the few people next to him are not ordinary people. Of course, if these people really killed people for no reason, they wouldn't stay here and wait for the officials to come over.
Di Renjie had barely finished examining the body at this time, it was already dark, and he couldn't look too closely, so he turned around and looked at the Huichang County Order.
"Di Fu, go and show the official to this official," Di Renjie said.
Di Fu took out the official guide from the car and handed it to the county magistrate for inspection.
The county magistrate took it and opened it for a closer look, and then returned it to Defoe.
"Du Yu, the lowly Huichang County Order, has seen Di Yuanjun, but I don't know that Di Yuanjun is here, and he was robbed and killed by thieves, all of which are the crimes of this county, I hope Lord Di will forgive me." Du Yu bowed his hand and said, with a wry smile in his heart.
Du Yu is a descendant of the Jingzhao Du family, he was a jinshi at a young age, and he got the beauty of the Huichang County Order, he wanted to be safe for a few years, and then he was recommended to serve in the ministry with the power of his family, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. He naturally knows who Di Renjie is, that is a figure who has been recognized by many bigwigs in the DPRK and China, and will definitely enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, but he was robbed and killed in his own territory, although he was not injured, but if he was in a bad mood and became angry with himself, no matter how strong his family power was, he would be implicated, and his promotion would be hopeless.
"Those who don't know are not guilty," Di Renjie said, "first transport these bodies to the county government, and then make an autopsy and bury them somewhere." ”
"Who are these people who actually attacked and killed court officials in broad daylight?" Du Yu thought to himself.
Under his rule, someone attacked and killed the five members of the imperial court, and his sin was not small, and it would be very troublesome for people to take it out.
"I will repair a letter to explain this matter to Lord Su, the heir of Su Liang, who stayed in Xijing, and will not implicate you." Who is Di Renjie, he saw Du Yu's concerns at a glance and spoke.
"Thank you Di Envoy, thank you Di Envoy!" Du Yu hurriedly said, "Di Envoy, please enter the city first." ”
"You lead the way!" Di Renjie said, "By the way, let the officials appease the passing merchants, so as not to cause panic." ”
"Yes, Envoy Di." Du Yu replied, and hurriedly instructed the officials to clean up the corpses and pacify the passers-by.
More than a dozen officials endured the bloodshed, requisitioned several carts from the merchants, loaded the corpses on the carts, and followed the county magistrate back to the city.
In Huichang City, Du Yu and other cadres from Huichang County refused to pay respects, and Di Renjie took everyone to live in Huichang Station.
"Yuan Ming's martial arts are very high, and his martial arts are so exquisite that the old man has never seen them before." Di Renjie asked.
After entering the post house, Di Renjie asked Li Rong to go to the room with him to talk.
"Although I don't know martial arts, my eyesight is still there, the martial arts you make are extraordinary, not like Li Shangshu's Xuanyin Wonderful Sword, but not worse than it, and not under any kind of martial arts in the world." Di Renjie said, "One of the true qi is the Vajra Demon True Qi of Shaolin Temple, and the other seems to be Daomen Qigong, which is not under the Halal Qi of the Heavenly Master Dao. ”
"Master Di has a good eye," Li Rong said, "I have been practicing with Master Puhui of Shaolin since I was a child, and the true qi of the Taoist sect comes from my father. ”
Di Renjie is one of the few people who has been praised by Li Hui, whether it is his character or ability, Li Rong respects his father very much, and naturally believes in his vision.
"To be honest, it is indeed not easy for you to be able to fuse two different True Qi Peerless Sects at a young age, and the talent is not below the Heavenly Master Dao's "White Yunzi" Sima Chengzhen. Di Renjie said.
"Bai Yunzi" Sima Chengzhen is the first of the eight masters of the Earth List, the seventh-grade grandmaster who has the best chance to impact the Heavenly List, and the next heir of the Heavenly Master Dao, the leader of the White Dao. Sima Chengzhen has always been good friends with Di Renjie, and the "bloody" You Shan and others were defeated by Sima Chengzhen and fled in embarrassment.
"I have a good relationship with your father," Di Renjie said, "After arriving in Luoyang, I will also go to the mansion to visit Ling Zun." ”
"Di Gong is too worried, I heard what my father said." Li Rong replied.
The two talked for a while, and Li Rong said goodbye and went back to the house.
Unexpectedly, Di Renjie was not only extremely wise, but also knew a lot of things in martial arts, and his insights were not inferior to those grandmaster-level masters, and Li Rong benefited a lot. It turned out that Di Renjie was proficient in medical skills, and seemed to have seen many martial arts classics, and had a special insight into martial arts theory.
"You've been talking long enough," Mr. Li said.
There are not many rooms in the post station, two people in one room, Li Rong and Li Kaigu are divided into one room.
"Di Gong is not an ordinary person," Li Rong said, "Today you beat Wu Zaide again?" ”
Wu Zaide's Xuanyang True Qi characteristics are obvious, even if Li Rong didn't fight him, he could see it from a distance.
"Wu Zaide just lacks a little courage, and the real strength is above me." Li Kaigu said in a deep voice.
In the two battles with Wu Zaide, Li Kaigu benefited a lot, although they both won, but they were all reluctant, on the contrary, Wu Zaide's true qi and swordsmanship surpassed Li Kaigu.
"Do you know why the Cypriot tribes can't subdue Middle-earth?" Li Rong said
"I don't know," Li Kaigu said.
"Take martial arts as an example, the martial arts inherited by the martial arts family is the top mastery in Middle-earth, and it has been polished by countless masters for thousands of years, and the degree of subtlety is not comparable to you." Li Rong said, "This is a kind of accumulation, the martial arts of Middle Earth have formed a complete system after thousands of years of accumulation, and all kinds of miraculous skills and strange arts are constantly emerging, which is incomparable to the foreign races." ”
Speaking of which, Li Kaigu's talent should be above Wu Zaide, but he can't control the deep accumulation of martial arts and exquisite martial arts, coupled with carefully concocted pills and rigorous training methods, so that Wu Zaide's martial arts surpass Li Kaigu.
Li Kaigu nodded helplessly, there are few written languages in the tribes outside the Saiwai, and there is no inheritance at all. From the Xiongnu to Xianbei, from Rouran to Turkic, the rise of one race often represents the demise of another, and the disappearance of this nation is accompanied by the demise of the civilization of the race.
"Martial arts is just a trail, a hundred enemies, and ten thousand enemies are the right way for our generation," Li Kaigu said.
"Dead duck has a hard mouth!" Li Rong shook his head and said with a smile, "Whether it is martial arts or the art of war, it cannot and is not the foundation of the country, martial arts is the enemy of 100 people, the art of war is the enemy of 10,000 people, and the number of people in one country and one clan is hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions, it is not possible to rely on martial arts and the art of war, it depends on the governance, this is the real enemy of 10,000 people." ”
