Chapter 237: The Rooster Has Meritorious Service
As soon as this measure came out, the large-scale scalping market immediately disappeared, and of course, the price of second-hand scalping tickets doubled.
Others can't get tickets, it doesn't mean that the rooster can't, as Qian Yu's brother, just one sentence, the owner of the store will leave him ten pieces a day, Qian Yu knows about this, but he pretends not to know, his brother, as long as he doesn't make things bigger, he happily turns a blind eye.
Qian Yu also knew that this product had privately sold several copies of the original manuscript of Journey to the West at a high price in the name of Master Yue, and this rooster did not fool people, because he begged Qian Yu to re-copy these manuscripts.
It is said that the rooster is going to be attacked by everyone in public, who knows that the fool has a foolish fortune, and when he resold the scalper ticket, he saw the stone and hammer as the joint of the next house.
Looking at the two people with weeds on their heads and dressed in holes, Qian Yu asked in shock: "Why did you do this?" ”
Shi smiled bitterly and was about to speak, when Yan'er brought out a pot of food, the two of them ignored Qian Yu, picked up the food and snorted and ate it all until the stomach was round, and then told their experience of this trip.
It turned out that the two of them arrived in the capital where they were not familiar with each other, and before they began to look for people, they were targeted by the local snakes here, and before waiting for the next day, they were patronized by several big thieves and thieves in turn, and they were penniless in an instant.
The two of them really told that the earth and the earth should not be spiritual, and they had no choice but to beg for a living, and as a result, they offended the local beggars, so that they were often driven by competitors for a bite of food.
I finally persevered until now, and I heard that the scalper tickets of Tingshuge could make some money, so I wanted to try my luck, so I met a rooster who made extra money.
The rooster proudly stalled his hand: "Ke oil Ke oil, this is not my greed, you see, we have been in the capital for so long, and I will make a little merit, of course, don't praise me, I will be proud." ”
Qian Yu didn't bother to pay attention to this goods, only told the two to have a good rest, and started to busy themselves again, so that the rooster who was ready to accept praise fell into a big and boring place.
Although the stone and the hammer were miserable, they heard a piece of news that Qian Yu did not expect.
"Hesui's affairs should be related to the Eighteen Sage Kings." Shi looked at Qian Yu and said with some uncertainty.
Qian Yu's brows immediately became solemn, because of his sensitive identity, he had been worried about coming to the capital this time, and he also tried his best to avoid contact with people in the imperial court, but he didn't expect that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to avoid it.
Hammer added: "Although we have been reduced to beggars, we have been paying attention to their news, but unfortunately we have not found anything so far. However, from the mouth of an old man, he found out about some bloody knives. ”
"Blood Knife?" Qian Yu patted his head with remorse, since he couldn't find out the news of Hesui, why didn't he start from the source? Maybe you can find clues, and you are a fan of the authorities.
"Where's the old man?"
Who knew the answer but made him very disappointed: "Dead, at that time Hammer and I were really hungry, so I wanted to go into a private house to steal some food to satisfy hunger, but it turned out that there was only one terminally ill old man lying on the bed in that courtyard, I saw that he was pitiful, so I gave him the last half of the steamed bun in his hand, and he told me this past, and asked me to help him inquire about the whereabouts of the big brother of the blood knife." ”
Listening to the stone's story, Qian Yu understood the whole story.
It turned out that this old man was a ranger on the rivers and lakes when he was young, and he loved to act chivalrous and righteous, and by chance, he met the blood knife, and the two hit it off at first sight, he not only recognized each other as a righteous brother, but also learned a lot of useful things from him.
One day, the blood knife said that he had offended the eighteen sages and was afraid that he would be implicated, so he asked him to leave the capital quickly.
Sure enough, that night, the blood knife was chased and killed by dozens of dead soldiers sent out by the Eighteen Sage Kings, and the characters in the rivers and lakes lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and the old man was not surprised, the only thing he was surprised was that the blood knife brother was carrying a baby on his back.
This must be the eldest brother's child, the old man secretly swore that no matter what, he would help the eldest brother keep the child, so he saw the opportunity and made a desperate determination to make a move.
When the old man used his body to block the enemy and escort the blood knife away safely, he thought he was going to die, but at this time, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared, and these people launched a suicide attack on those dead soldiers, and the old man saw the opportunity again, and miraculously escaped.
Although he did not die, his leg was injured and he was left with a cripple for the rest of his life, and he could only survive until he encountered a stone and a sledgehammer.
Qian Yu listened quietly, for some reason, he always felt that this matter was strange, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to the place where the old man lived to see it himself.
******
This is a small courtyard house, the yard is not large, and the weeds are overgrown, the house is mottled and old, and it should not have been repaired for a long time.
Pushing the door into the house, the furnishings inside are also very simple, two cabinets, a large bed, and the sunlight shines in through the windows full of holes, which still can't add a little life.
Qian Yu searched carefully and found nothing suspicious, as if this was really just a place where an old man lived for half his life.
Shi said: "When I knew that the old man had something to do with Hesui, I searched carefully, but I found nothing. ”
He then pointed to a dirt bag in the middle of the courtyard: "When the old man died, Hammer and I buried him here, and then used this place as a temporary place for us to settle down until we met you." ”
Qian Yu suddenly smiled, shook his head and turned to leave, not even interested in looking at this place again.
Throughout the way back to the Poetry Bookstore, he looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, and the stone hammer he looked at was extremely strange.
"Brother Qian, did you find anything?" The stone endured it for a long time, but he still couldn't hold back.
Qian Yu shook his head: "No, there is indeed an old man in that place, and he has indeed lived there for ten years, if you two are not mistaken, this person should really die." ”
Shi didn't understand Qian Yu's words, Qian Yu said that everything was normal, but it was very abnormal for him to say so.
However, Shi didn't ask, because Qian Yu didn't stay long in the poetry bookstore, but left directly, with a very clear purpose. The stone hesitated, but followed.
As he walked, Shishi's jaw almost fell in surprise, because the place where Qian Yu went was the Yamen, the headquarters of Yipin with a knife guard in the capital.
The most majestic and luxurious place in the capital is the imperial palace, and the most mysterious place is the Yamen of the Yipin Guards with Knives, because of a pardon decree from Taizu at the beginning, the status of the guards with knives directly transcended the official system of Dahua.
As a result, this place, which has an extraordinary status but has great power to supervise officials in various ministries, has become a forbidden place for all officials, and the principle is not to provoke, not to refuse, not to be intimate, not to alienate, and in any case it is a posture of non-violence and non-cooperation.
But the emperors of all dynasties have taken a fancy to this place, and there are a lot of appropriations every year, so this place seems ordinary, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to see its low-key and luxurious.
Qian Yu stood in the distance, carefully observing this place that was inextricably linked to him, and without hesitation, he walked straight towards the gate.
