Chapter 108: Twin Wings
Chapter 108: Twin Flying Wings
At two o'clock in the morning, Xiao Qi sent me out of the palace gate and said in a low voice: "Official, Xiao Qi is not by your side, the official family takes care of himself." ”
I patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder: "Xiao Qi, if there is an urgent matter in the court, you can find the dragon tooth to send a message to me." ”
"Yes, official."
Saying goodbye to Xiao Qi, I walked towards Shifeng Shang with Yuan Jian, Lan Yu, and Shen Mo.
After nearly half a year of practice in the third section of Changquan, my speed and strength have improved a lot, today is just the day of the break again, there is silence outside the palace, under the cover of night, the four of us are extremely fast, and in a moment we arrived at the Shifeng Trading House. After meeting Fang Ling, who was waiting at the trading house, a group of five of us stepped on horses, went out to the south gate of An, and went south along the official road.
Since the return of Huiji Province, I have also put a lot of effort into equestrianism, coupled with unremitting martial arts, the comprehensive surname of the body is no longer comparable to the original Zhao Yu, and the riding skills are also becoming exquisite.
After passing through the station of the young man, Wen Zhang, who had been waiting for a long time, had already prepared water, dry food and other materials and joined our team.
The air in the suburbs is exceptionally fresh and refreshing. From a distance, the morning sun showed a hint of ruddy, and the surrounding clouds became brighter. From time to time on both sides of the road, the purple air is permeated, and the early farmers are shadowed in the mist, which is a typical agricultural scene in the south of the Yangtze River, full of the charm of ink and wash, which can be seen and heard, and the occasional rooster crow in the farmhouse seems to announce that it is a new day.
New day, new hope.
I took a deep breath and ordered, "Go." ”
Shen Mo took the lead, I followed closely, Fang Ling and Wen Zhang protected me on both sides, Yuan Thorn, after the blue feather was broken, although my riding skills could not be compared with others, but they were also very fast.
The name of the horse I stepped on was Feiyan, which was taken from the meaning of horse stepping on Feiyan, and it was a BMW that paid tribute to the Western Regions.
All the men rode on Ouchi's horses, and they galloped south at my speed.
Jinhua is located on the eastern edge of the Jinqu Basin, called Wuzhou in the Song Dynasty, about 20 kilometers away from Jinhua in later generations. In my memory, Jinhua is most famous for the two caves in Jinhua, and people in our time grew up studying this text.
Running all the way, I finally arrived at Jinhua City before the fall, if it weren't for my riding skills not being perfect enough, it is estimated that I could arrive an hour earlier. This is the first time I galloped a horse for a long time, although the action is out of shape, physical exhaustion, but this feeling is really exciting, no wonder many rich second generations in later generations like drag racing, that kind of galloping feeling makes people forget everything.
Compared with Lin'an, Jinhua is much smaller, the city wall is low, and the area is only one-eighth of the capital.
We stayed at the Yuelai Inn near the official yamen, which was a small inn, and Shen Mo, who had arrived a few moments earlier, had six rooms on the second floor. After a long journey, it showed the level of everyone's skills, Yuan Jian did not change at all, Lan Yu Fang Ling and the others breathed a little rapidly, and I was already out of breath, but fortunately, my body is not what it used to be, and after resting for a while, it will basically return to normal.
After dinner, Shen Mo brought Song Chengzu to my room.
"Song Chengzu visits his son." On the way, Shen Mo told Song Chengzu, who arrived in Jinhua yesterday, the identity of my son Huyan.
"Mr. Song, sit down and talk."
"Gongzi Xie." After Song Chengzu sat down, he looked at the few people next to me, "Childe has worked hard all the way. ”
I smiled: "Mr. Song, I'm just touring the mountains and rivers this time, and by the way, let's see if there are any business opportunities, these people are all from my business bank." A few days ago, I heard in the capital that Mr. came here to investigate the case, but I don't know how it progressed? ”
Song Chengzu said a little restrainedly: "Childe, I was ordered by the Criminal Department to come here to investigate the case of Gai Zhaotian, and now the only suspect is Hu Yun, the former Jinhua Prison Division, and I visited Hu Yun's residence in Jinhua, and asked the surrounding neighbors, and I didn't find an important clue until dinner today." Hu Yun is single, renting in Jinhua, he hired a middle-aged woman named Li, this Li will go to Hu Yun's house two or three days apart to help clean and wash clothes, just two days before the case, Li found an extra set of other men's clothes when washing Hu Yun, Li has been washing Hu Yun for many years, naturally knows Hu Yun's condition, so he asked casually, Hu Yun didn't care at the time, saying that it was his brother's. Later, Hu Yun remembered something and told Li not to tell others about it. The Li family was not a talkative person, and it was not until Hu Yun disappeared and I went to inquire about it. ”
"Hu Yun's brother, Hu Feng?"
"Quite possibly."
"If it's really Hu Feng, it's a little strange, if you don't come early or late, you just come when something happens."
"yes, Childe, I think there's something wrong with that too. Gai Zhaotian was escorted to Jinhua Prison, and it was only half a day, the murderer could not be known in advance, only people in the government had the opportunity to know, at least it could be judged that the murderer had an internal response in the government, and only Hu Yun was missing, and for the time being, he became the only suspect. We also investigated the insiders at the time, but there was no result. ”
"Well, Mr. Song will go back first, and I will go to Hu Yun's residence with you to have a look."
"Yes, Childe."
After Song Chengzu left, Fang Ling said with great interest: "Brother, it's still early, let's go out for a walk." ”
"Okay, go for a walk."
I feel more and more that Fang Ling is cute, Fang Ling rarely asks me about things, even if he knows that I know the dignitaries in the capital, and also knows that I have a huge influence in the capital, he only regards me as the owner of the Shifeng Commercial Bank.
Fang Ling said, I knew you were my brother. My identity, on the contrary, is redundant.
Although Jinhua City is small, it is also lively at night, Liangzhejiang Road is worthy of being the richest place in the Southern Song Dynasty, the most lively night market in Jinhua City is on Shuangxi Street behind the government office, where all the snacks and large and small shops selling goods in Jinhua are concentrated. It is no wonder that during the Song Dynasty, the tax revenue of agriculture was less than fifty percent, and it can be seen from the bustling night market in Jinhua City that commerce has gradually come to light.
Fang Ling took my arm and shuttled through the bustling crowd, while Yuan Jian and the others followed in a semicircle.
"Brother, this is good, ah, that one is not bad." Fang Ling said happily while watching.
"Ling'er, just buy whatever you like."
"Hehe, you are so generous?"
"Of course, for Ling'er, brother should do everything."
Before we knew it, we were walking to a shop that sold jewelry.
Fang Ling's eyes swept over the jewelry and said, "Brother, you can help Ling'er choose one." ”
I said "um", looked at it for a long time, picked up a bracelet, and said, "Ling'er, how about this?" ”
This is a bracelet inlaid with gold and silver, connected at the intersection with a small buckle, the small buckle is like a natural generation, although the craftsmanship is not as delicate as the later generations, but it can be regarded as without flaws, I really did not expect this kind of small shop to have such a boutique, of course, this bracelet naturally can not be compared with those treasures in the palace.
"I'll try." After Fang Ling took it, he stretched out his wrist and shook it in front of my eyes, "Brother, how is it?" ”
"Well, that's right, what do you think of Ling'er?"
"Brother, you can do it if you like." Fang Ling smiled shyly, "Ling'er has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she never brought a bracelet, even if this is for her brother." ”
I suddenly felt a burst of excitement in my heart, the soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself, I hurriedly said to the blue feather next to me: "Lan Yu, pay the money." ”
Walking out of the store, Fang Ling said: "Brother, let's give this bracelet a name." ”
"Ah, the bracelet still has a name?"
"Yes, this is given to Ling'er by my brother, it's different." Fang Ling said coquettishly.
I thought for a moment and said, "This bracelet is gold on one side and silver on the other, like two wings of a wild goose, I think it is called double flying wings." ”
"Twin wings?" Fang Ling smiled, "This gold and silver are indeed a bit like two flying swallows, brother, you are really talented." ”
"Li Shangyin's poems, without colorful phoenix wings, have a good heart, maybe they are talking about this bracelet."
Fang Ling sneered: "Brother, I just praised you, and I started talking nonsense again." Li Shangyin was an ancient person hundreds of years ago, how would he know that there is this bracelet today? ”
"Well, maybe Li Shangyin came to see it when he crossed over."
"Crossing? What does that mean? "Fang Ling has long been accustomed to my new term, but this is the first time I've heard of the word crossing.
