Chapter 21: Those Things in Quanzhou
"Although there is a good bow that is easy to pick up, it can get twice the result with half the effort. But I don't think it's necessary to study arrows! Shu Yao said.
Nangong Qian thought about Shu Yao's words for a while, shook his head, and said, "There are too many kinds of arrows, and not all of them are suitable for you." I'm going to find the right arrow for myself. ”
Shu Yao still couldn't understand why Nangong Tilt was obsessed with finding the arrow that suited her.
"Then now that you have comprehended the skills that Master Li said, can you give yourself a little more time to rest after that?" Shu Yao asked tentatively.
Nangong tilted his head without thinking about it, so he shook his head and rejected Shu Yao's statement.
"Although I can understand it now, it doesn't mean that practice makes perfect, I still have to be serious and practice in a down-to-earth manner."
Shu Yao nodded, "Okay!" You take a sip of tea and rest for a while, and then continue practicing! I went to do something. ”
Nangong nodded her head, and Shu Yao left the front yard and returned to her post.

Wu Xi went to investigate Sun Qian and found out a lot of things.
Sun Qian is a clean official on the surface, but he actually does a lot of things behind his back.
For example, if you forcibly marry a people's girl, if you don't comply, you will quietly find someone to kill her. The wife of the family was abandoned, and the concubine was on the throne. And there is more than one concubine, all of them are fighting openly and secretly, and you are fighting to the death. Not only that, but also took a lot of bribes.
Wu Xi told Beiran all of these one by one.
Beiran thought that Sun Qian would accept bribes, but he didn't expect that there were many concubines in the family, and his wife abandoned him.
There is no concubine in any of the princes of Beiliang, and even if there is, there is only one. He Sun Qian had multiple concubines in his family, and he also abandoned his wife.
"What else did you find?" Beiran asked.
"Before Sun Qian came to Quanzhou to serve as a county, he had met with Emperor Wan's concubine." Wu Xi said.
"Imperial Concubine Wan?" Beiran couldn't believe it.
Wu Xi nodded, "Before Ren County in Quanzhou, I did meet Emperor Wan's concubine. ”
Beiran thought to himself: Could it be that Quanzhou has become like this, and it has something to do with Emperor Wan's concubine?
"Arrest Sun Qian in prison." Beiran said.
"Yes."
Wu Xi immediately went to Sun Qian's mansion and arrested Sun Qian.
Beiran went to see Sun Qian in prison and ordered Wu Xi to tie Sun Qian out.
As soon as Sun Qian came out, he shouted, "Why did the prince tie up his ministers?" ”
The corners of Bei Ran's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled evilly, "Why did this king tie you up, don't you know?" ”
Sun Qian shook his head violently and said he didn't know.
Bei Ran made a look, and Wu Xi picked up the whip and whipped Sun Qian.
I only heard Sun Qian's screams.
Wu Xi stopped, and Bei Ran asked fiercely, "What's going on with that file?" ”
Sun Qian's eyes floated again, looking left and right, and said hesitantly, "The minister really doesn't know!" ”
"It seems that if you don't suffer a little, you won't let go."
As he spoke, Beiran took a knife on the table and turned it in his hand.
He walked up and down around him while turning the knife in his hand, and said, "If you say, if this is a knife, where should it be stabbed?" ”
Beiran picked up a piece of cloth and wiped the knife back and forth repeatedly.
The slower Bei Ran moved, the more scared Sun Qian became. Because he didn't know when the knife in Bei Ran's hand stabbed him.
Bei Ran stepped on the bench with one foot, hooked Sun Qian's chin with the tip of the knife, and asked coldly, "This king will ask you one last time, what is going on with that dossier?" ”
The tip of the knife hooked Sun Qian's chin, Sun Qian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a panic, "The minister really doesn't know!" ”
Sun Qian still refused to let go and refused to speak.
"Ah~~~~~~~~h
Bei Ran stabbed Sun Qian at the root of his thigh, and Sun Qian's screams followed.
Immediately afterwards, Bei Ran walked to the knife again, followed a smaller knife, and walked around Sun Qian.
Bei Ran wiped the knife and said, "Abandon your wife, and the concubine will be on top." Multiple concubines, all fighting openly and secretly. robbed the people's daughters, and those who didn't obey died. Master Sun is really amazing. I don't know if my father knew that this incorruptible Lord Sun was like this, how my father would punish Lord Sun. ”
Bei Ran said casually, but Sun Qian was very scared when he heard it.
As he spoke, Bei Ran stabbed the knife at the root of Sun Qian's other thigh.
"Lord Sun can not say, this king can't guarantee how many holes in your body will be stabbed by knives after you die." Bei Ran said casually.
Sun Qian is already a handful of years old, how can he still withstand these punishments.
"I say, I say."
Bei Ran sat on the chair and listened to Sun Qian.
"What the prince just said is indeed what the minister did. Quanzhou is emptying little by little, which is also what I did. Sun Qian endured the pain in his leg and said.
"You are a small county magistrate, Quanzhou is so big and prosperous, you can make Quanzhou empty alone?!" Beiran said suspiciously.
"Yes....."
Sun Qian just said a word, and a dart flew in out of nowhere, and the dart cut Sun Qian's throat and died on the spot.
This dart caught Bei Ran off guard, and Wu Xi probed Sun Qian's breath and shook his head.
The dart slashed through Sun Qian's throat, and the dart stuck in the wall.
Beiran took the dart down and looked at the dart. There is a totem on the reverse side of the dart, which is like a totem exclusive to a certain organization.
Beiran handed the dart to Wu Xi and asked Wu Xi to see the totem.
"You go and check if there is a totem of that organization like this." Beiran said.
"Yes, lord."
"Lord Wang, now that Sun Qian is dead, what should I do in Quanzhou?"
Beiran thought for a while, "Set off back to Beiliang." ”
"Yes, lord."
——
On the fifth day, Master Li was still waiting in the front yard for Nangong to pour out as usual.
This time, Nangong went to the front yard on time, and after she arrived in the front yard, she didn't say a word, picked up her bow and arrow, and hit the bull's-eye with an arrow.
When Master Li saw it, he applauded and said with a smile, "The princess is really a smart person. ”
Nangong poured the bow and arrow on the stone table, faced Master Li and said, "It turns out that the skill that Master Li said is to feel the bullseye with your heart. ”
Master Li nodded, "It's not easy for the princess to comprehend. ”
"However, why didn't Master Li tell this palace directly?" This question has been pestering Nangong for three days.
Master Li smiled meaningfully, "If the grass people tell the princess directly, the grass people don't need to come to check the princess's homework." ”
Nangong smiled shallowly, "This palace still wants to ask Master Li, are there many types of arrows?" ”
Master Li thought for a moment, "Many, that's quite a lot." ”
"How many are there?"
"There are dozens of kinds, and the main ones that distinguish them are arrows. The lethality of arrows is great. But also what the arrows are to score. Master Li explained carefully.
Nangong tilted his head, "Then what are you going to study today?" ”
"Princess, what should be taught, the grass people have already taught the princess. All those who are good at archery are trained by themselves. The truth from it is also comprehended through learning. Grass people, retire first. ”
"Master Xie Li's teachings."
Nangong sat down and carefully reflected on the eight days of study. In fact, Master Li didn't teach much, but more comprehension.
When Shu Yao arrived, she came to the front yard to pour tea to Nangong, and when she came, she saw her sitting on the stone bench in a daze.
Shu Yao put the tea on the stone table, and Nangong was fascinated by it, but she didn't notice that Shu Yao was coming.
Shu Yao shouted at her a few times, but there was no reaction at all.
So Shu Yao shouted loudly, "Nangong pours it." ”
Nangong blinked violently, looking left and right to see who was talking so loudly. As a result, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Shu Yao sitting next to her.
Nangong patted Shu Yao gently, and said fiercely, "You dead girl, why are you so loud?" ”
"Who told you to ignore me? I've called you so many times, and you didn't react at all, so I had to call you out loud. ”
Nangong poured out only an "oh".
"What do you think about being so fascinated!" Shu Yao asked curiously.
"It's nothing, just thinking about archery."
"Hasn't Master Li finished teaching yet? Why are you still thinking about archery? ”
Nangong tilted her head lightly, "Master Li's class is over, it doesn't mean that I have completely learned archery." Just because I know how to shoot an arrow doesn't mean I'm good at archery. ”
Shu Yao rolled her eyes and "cut".
"So what do you want to do next?" Shu Yao asked.
Nangong Qian thought about it carefully, "I think, I want to develop an arrow of my own." I want to make this arrow a unique arrow in Beiliang. ”
"You still want to make arrows! There are so many kinds of arrows, if you want to make them unique, you have to know all the arrow styles that exist. Do you understand this? Shu Yao couldn't believe it.
Nangong smiled proudly, "You wait and see!" ”
This is not difficult for her at all, and it is rare for her not to understand the style of arrows. It's about how to make a unique and powerful arrowhead.
"By the way, Shu Yao, you can bring back two arrows from all the various arrows on the market tomorrow."
"All of them?" Shu Yao asked.
Nangong tilted his head.
"So much?"
"If I don't look at them all, how can I make a unique arrow?"
"Okay! So where are you going to put those arrows? ”
Nangong Tianyu looked around, "Just put it here!" She gestured to the bottom of the stone table.
Shu Yao should also come down.
Sure enough, the next day, under the stone table in the front yard, there were all kinds of arrows and arrows.
——
After Beiran returned to Beiliang, the first thing he did was to enter the palace.
"Son-in-law, see father."
"Flat."
"How's the matter in Quanzhou?" King Beiliang asked.
"Back to my father, what happened in Quanzhou was done by Sun Qian." Beiran said truthfully.
"What?" King Beiliang couldn't believe that such an incorruptible official would do such a thing.
This is Sun Qian's own admission. But, Sun Qian died. ”
"Dead? How did he die? ”
Bei Ran thought for a while, "Sun Qian was assassinated. ”
King Beiliang sighed and said, "Well, it can be regarded as a punishment for him." Have you found out who assassinated Sun Qian? ”
Bei Ran shook his head, "I haven't found it yet, and Erchen will try his best to find out." ”
King Beiliang nodded, "Okay, you go back first!" ”
"The retainers retired."
When Beiran returned to the palace, he must pass through the front yard.
He saw that there were many arrows under the stone table, pointed to the arrows under the stone table, and asked Wu Xi what was going on.
Wu Xi shook his head, saying that he didn't know what was going on.
It happened that Shu Yao came in from outside the mansion and put a bunch of arrows under the stone table.
Wu Xi asked Shu Yao what was the matter with so many arrows, and Shu Yao told him, "The princess has been learning archery recently, and now she is interested in arrows, so she asked the slave maid to bring back all the arrows of different arrows on the market." ”
Bei Ran listened from the sidelines, "Nangong is learning archery? Beiran asked.
Shu Yao nodded, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
Beiran was stunned for a while, and then went back to Fuyuan Pavilion.
