Chapter 279: The Old Man Who Asks for Debts

"Concubine Yu and Beikanhou are brother and sister! Beikanhou is the uncle of the third prince. ”

"It's all like this, you still want to bypass Beikanhou? Why is your heart so big? Or is it that your relationship with Beikanhou is not ordinary? No, when he lived in Tongnanfu for a long time, you were still very young, right?"

"Less! I'm just scared of death!"

"Can you say the word "afraid of death" so justifiably? Your skin is really not ordinary thick. ”

"Beikanhou is a martial idiot, a complete martial idiot. If you want to ask him about his martial arts talent, it is extremely terrifying. The Dayu Dynasty has been in the past 100 years, no, in the past two hundred years, there is no second person except my brother who can be compared to Tianfu and Beikanhou. ”

"Your brother?" Lu Sheng raised his head in surprise.

This is the first time Lu Sheng has heard that Shen Ling has a brother, and since there is still an eldest son in the Nanling Palace, how could the prince of Nanling have Shen Ling's turn?

"That's not the point, the point is, Beikanhou is very strong! He's a martial idiot, it seems that he doesn't care about anything in the world except martial arts. Even if the first emperor revoked the name of the Deep Blue Navy back then, he didn't have any reason to argue.

When the first emperor demoted him to the title, he did not have the slightest objection. As long as he can practice martial arts, as long as he can kill a master, he can ignore anything. ”

"Wait! Kill a master?" Lu Sheng's eyes widened in surprise, "What do you mean by that?"

There are martial artists in the world, those who study hard and practice hard, and there are also martial arts scholars who learn from others to prove it. But have you ever heard of someone who competes in martial arts, that is, whether they win or lose, and who also divides life and death?"

"Even if you decide or lose, but also divide life and death?" Lu Sheng heard this, and for some reason another sentence flashed in his mind, "In Xia Feng Yu Xiu, please give advice!"

"That's right! In Beikanhou's thinking, martial arts are killing skills, and if they are not used to kill people? What does it mean to practice martial arts? Since Beikanhou practiced martial arts, whenever he fights with others, he has always killed people.

At first, you can still use the sword without eyes, accidental injuries and the like to prevaricate the past. But later, the more and more masters of death came, and they realized that this was a madman.

No one is willing to fight him, and no one wants to deal with him anymore. But Beikanhou used a pseudonym to fight the world's masters. And the masters who were targeted by Beikanhou were all willing to fight for their lives. But each time, he survived, and all of his opponents died.

At the age of forty, he successfully broke through the innate shackles and stepped onto the Dao realm. Originally, I thought that Beikanhou, who had stepped on the Dao realm, would be able to stop a little. But Beikanhou is a man of war.

That year, the Tubo National Teacher came to Dayu for exchange, and Beikanhou didn't know where to hear that the Tubo National Teacher was the first master in the Western Regions. The cultivation above the Dao realm made an appointment to fight the Tubo national teacher.

Back then, Chang Taifu personally said that the cultivation of the Tubo National Teacher was unfathomable, and he could not be an enemy. ”

"Then the Tubo National Teacher shouldn't know about the bad deeds of Beikanhou, right?"

"A monk from the Western Regions, what do you know? I thought it was the hospitality of the Central Plains, so I happily agreed. But I didn't want to, on the competition platform, after a fierce battle for a day and a night, the Tubo national teacher sighed to himself that it was better to admit defeat and was beaten to death by Beikanhou with his fist!"

"It's so miserable......" Although Lu Sheng couldn't see the scene at that time, he still had palpitations after making up for it.

"Yes, when I heard about the scene at that time, I directly scared a lot of people stupid. ”

"That's not right!" Lu Sheng suddenly realized the problem, "Since the whole court knows the urine nature of Beikanhou, why didn't they stop this competition? I heard that Beikanhou was grounded because he killed the Tubo national teacher." But judging from the background of that year, it was obviously intentional by the imperial court. ”

"Of course it's intentional!" Shen Ling took out a bag of melon seeds out of nowhere, and knocked it in front of Lu Sheng, "There is such a master in the Western Regions, which is enough to threaten Dayu's status."

The countries of the Western Regions, it's good that An'an is protected by Dayu, what are you doing with one or two fierce people?

"Even if the title of Marquis of Beikan is cut off in order to give an explanation to Tubo, then there is no need to be grounded for 20 years? What is the secret in this? Moreover, as far as I know, the punishment of the Marquis of Beikan does not seem to be deserved. ”

"Naturally, it's not because I killed a Tubo national teacher! what I'm going to tell you next is the real secret!" Shen Ling suddenly said with an extremely solemn face.

"The main reason why the first emperor wants to take the Beikanhou sword is for the Deep Blue Sea Array Diagram!"

"Deep Blue Sea Array?

"A map of the naval division's formation!"

"It's not...... Didn't you say before that the imperial court spent a lot of money to build our military formations? Why did it do it for a formation? What is so special about this formation?"

"The deep blue sea array is the only one of the Dayu military department that does not belong to the imperial court to develop the array, it is rumored that this array is handed down from ancient times, and has the power of heaven and earth.

Back then, Zhang Wannian relied on the deep blue sea array to invincible and swept the East China Sea to establish immortal feats. The Deep Blue Navy was the most important of the Dayu Naval Division, one of the four invincible armies that would never be defeated.

However, the deep blue navy is Dayu's army, thunder, rain and dew, all of which are Jun'en. Back then, Zhang Wannian got the Deep Blue Sea Array, and the court was ecstatic. But later, when the imperial court asked Zhang Wannian to hand over the Deep Blue Sea Array map, Zhang Wannian was perfunctory. ”

Lu Sheng's face showed a sudden expression, which can explain why Beikanhou obviously has such a status and meritorious service, but why he was abandoned by the imperial court.

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. This deep blue sea array is not some kind of gold and silver wealth, but an important weapon of the country! Zhang Wannian actually wants to take it for himself...... It's ......."

"It's nothing simple, there are hundreds of Dayu gate valves, those thousand-year-old families, which one doesn't have a inheritance array? Zhang Wannian plans to do this, I can actually understand it.

He hopes that the Zhang family will firmly grasp this deep blue sea array, then the status of his Zhang family will not change, and he can also become a thousand-year-old family and a thousand-year-old family.

The only thing Zhang Wannian didn't understand was that he was not one of those thousand-year-old families, and he shouldn't put himself in the same position as those thousand-year-old families just because he was made a duke. ”

"I see...... If you change anyone, after getting a treasure that can last the family for thousands of years, you will be more or less reluctant to hand it over. However, Zhang Wannian was enough to make the imperial court give up the idea of collecting the formation map. ”

"Yes, there are several Dayu land battle formations, but only the sailor formation is blank. Therefore, the imperial court is determined to win the Deep Blue Sea Array. But back then, Zhang Wannian relied on his military exploits and the prestige in the hearts of the people in a vain attempt to blackmail the imperial court.

Therefore, since his death, he has not been honored with a state funeral, and the Zhang family has become the most downtrodden family in the Dayu gate valve family. Of course, not counting now. ”

"Oh, is it because the third prince is the one with the most hope of winning the ninety-five?"

"No, because you're at the bottom!"

"......" Lu Sheng felt that there was no way to chat with Shen Ling anymore.

"So, if I get the formation map one day in the future, it's best to take the initiative to hand it in?"

"That's basically it, you should be able to understand that. After all, you are not one of those thousand-year-old families, they have the foundation and confidence. Of course, I don't think it's possible for you to get a formation diagram, this thing is hard to find. ”

"Then the first emperor has gone, why hasn't the punishment of Beikanhou been canceled after the saint succeeds to the throne? I heard that the emperor's favor to Concubine Yu is not ordinary!"

"Are you a faint monarch who is addicted to the harem today? How can the saint be soft in this kind of big right and wrong? Anyway, if Beikanhou doesn't hand over the formation map for a day, he won't think about the saint for a day.

For the emperor, it's just a not very urgent formation map, so there is time. But for the Zhang family, it was torment. The military department removed the name of the Deep Blue Navy, and some people still remember it, but after twenty or thirty years, the Deep Blue Navy will be like a flash in the pan and there will be no trace. ”

"......I see," Lu Sheng suddenly sighed thoughtfully.

The night passed quietly, and the Criminal Department was still very busy.

When Lu Sheng was staring at the progress of the exclusion screening, outside the door of the Criminal Division, someone suddenly sounded the drum of injustice.

Although there is something to be busy with, some people complain about Lu Sheng, and they can't ignore it. changed into an official uniform, and arranged for Lu Jian to prepare for his ascension.

When Lu Sheng sat in the high hall, an old man covered in patches and trembling was slowly taken to the court by Xuan Tianwei.

The old man's eyes were very evasive, and he lowered his head and moved his back to the public hall little by little. This is the normal fear of ordinary people in the face of the government.

"Old man, what grievances do you have?" Lu Sheng tried to make his tone more kind.

"I ...... I...... I ......" The old man's voice trembled unusually when he spoke, and he couldn't say a word nervously.

"Old man, don't be nervous, take a few deep breaths and say well. Lu Sheng asked patiently in a low voice.

"Big ...... My lord...... Villain...... The grass people have no grievances...... The villain is coming...... It's a ...... who came to ask for a debt."

"What do you want to be in debt?" Lu Sheng asked with a chuckle.

"This ...... About half a year ago...... The coastal defense army came to our village and ate and drank for five days. Our village didn't have much money in the first place, and those soldiers had a good appetite and ate more than half of the food in our village.

They didn't give us any money when they left, so they left a token and said they would send it in two days.

But it's been half a year, and I haven't seen anyone come to send money. Our village is small, and we don't grow our own food. When we can go to the sea, we can still get by.

But we haven't been able to go to the sea for more than half a year, and we can't eat enough. Now that the coastal defense army has not repaid the money for a long time, our village will not be able to open the pot. If I hadn't had no choice, I wouldn't have been able to come and collect the debt......"

The old man muttered a lot, but Lu Sheng was confused.

"Old man, do you mean ...... The Coast Guard went to your village half a year ago, and then they ate and drank for a few days without giving you a token?

"Yes, yes......" The old man's head nodded like a peck of rice.

"Then why didn't you go to the Haiphong military camp to ask for debts, but you came to me?" Lu Sheng asked suspiciously, since the old man's village is by the sea, there is no reason to come to Tongnan Mansion from near and far.

"Originally, I was going to the barracks, but I met a blacksmith in the town near the barracks, and he told me that if I went to the barracks to ask for money, not only would I not have to pay for it, but I was afraid that my life would be lost. But all of us in our village are hungry, and even if I die and die, I'm going to go......

Later, the blacksmith pointed me out a way and said that I should come to the Criminal Division to find Lord Lu. You...... Is it Lord Lu?"
