Chapter 114: Goodbye Grandpa
Jiang Li's sudden sentence, ignoring Lin Jiaying's identity at the beginning really made me a little confused, Lin Jiaying is the mayor of Jinling Town, what other identity does he have?
I pondered for a long time, and looked at Jiang Li with a blank face, "Lin Jiaying is Lin Yongye's father." ”
Jiang Li raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and told me, "The whole thing is not as simple as you think, go back and ask Wang Duangong to see if you can ask something from his mouth." ”
I nodded and left here with Jiang Li.
Just walked to the gate of the City God Temple. A yin cha walked up to us and whispered, "Jiang Shizu, someone wants to see you." ”
I looked at Jiang Li with a surprised expression, it was indeed a little strange that there were still people in this City God Temple who wanted to see Jiang Li.
Jiang Li didn't ask who wanted to see him, but just gave a gentle sigh and let Yin Cha lead the way.
During this time, passing by the Santu River, he saw an iron pear tree nearby, which was in full bloom and extremely beautiful, Jiang Li also saw it, and suddenly showed a smile. It was just a flash, and he quickly withdrew his smile and continued to follow the shadows.
I asked Jiang Li who was looking for him.
Jiang Li just smiled and told me, you will know when you go. Look at his relaxed face. Jiang Li seems to have guessed who it is, but he is just selling it, but I am extremely curious about being tricked by him like this.
Finally, Yin Cha took us to the door with the word 'Ministry of Rites' written on the plaque.
I just reacted, Jiang Li told me before, the administrative mechanism of the Yin Division is still the ancient system, including this City God Temple is also based on the officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and six departments of work, the last time I came to the Yin Division to find my father, it was the Criminal Department, but the Criminal Department is much more majestic than here, and there is a copper door, which needs to be pushed open by gravity. In contrast, the City God Temple is much simpler than the capital city.
Yin cha sent us to the door, and then turned and left.
Although the entrance of the main hall of the Ministry of Rites is not as brilliant as the City God Hall, it is not inferior.
Jiang Li and I looked at each other, Jiang Li didn't say much, just patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me to go in.
Walking in, an old man in a Yin official uniform sat in front of the board of the Ministry of Rites, and this old man was the grandfather I hadn't seen for a long time, and I almost cried when I was excited.
I thought that my grandfather must have been tortured when he was taken to the Yin Si, but I didn't expect that he was flattened to the City God Temple as a petty official, but it was okay.
Grandpa told us that he didn't expect that he would still be alive until now, and he thought that Yin Si would directly kick his name and let him be scattered, but he didn't expect him to come to the City God Temple to manage the Ministry of Rites.
My grandfather took me into his arms and said vigorously, "Chen Xiao has grown taller, he has grown taller." ”
It's probably because Jiang Li is by my side every day, so I can't feel that I'm getting taller, but my grandfather hasn't seen me for too long, and I can see at a glance that I've grown taller.
Hush Han asked for warmth, grandpa's eyes were red, and I asked about the second grandfather's situation, and I told him that the second grandfather was aging fast. The health is getting worse and worse, and the grandfather wiped his tears and said that the Chen family is unfortunate and will be brothers in the next life.
Jiang Li's face was deep, and he sighed and said, "It seems that when Yin Si is employing people now, it is not a last resort, and you will not move people at will, and you are not a pivotal position to Yin Si, so leave you as a petty official, it seems that this storm is coming." ”
Grandpa Yi nodded, "That's why I want to see you," After being silent for a while, Grandpa Yi continued to speak, "Then Young Master Lin in Jinling Town is safe and sound, right?" ”
Jiang Li nodded and told him, "He's very good." ”
Grandpa had a serious expression and whispered softly, as if he was afraid that people would hear him. "Someone above wants to arrest him, but he can't find anyone else, I estimate that it can't be separated from the matter of Yin Changsheng, otherwise where will the teacher move to find him alone, the central deployment let the ten Yin handsome ghost kings, day tours, night tours, impermanence, bull heads, horse faces, leopard tails, beaks, gills, and wasps all go out to find him, this action is not small."
Grandpa's words made us a little strange, this Lin Yongye's father was hooked, and now he wants to arrest Lin Yongye, how did the father and son provoke Yinsi.
Jiang Li was silent for a while, and then asked his grandfather Yin Si how he learned about this matter.
Grandpa told us. "Strange to say, a few days ago, the old blind man came to me and told me that you would come to the City God Temple in a few days, and told me to tell you to protect Lin Yongye. He also deliberately told me about the above things. ”
Old blind man, since the last time we found out that his grave was empty, there has been no news of him, and now he has suddenly appeared again.
Jiang Li said that he was likely to be Jiang Shang's descendant. Jiang Shang is a person of King Wu of Zhou, and logically speaking, the old blind man should not come to talk to his grandfather, this reason is unreasonable.
Jiang Li nodded and said, "He wants us to sabotage the Yin Si's conspiracy." ”
Although I don't know the intentions of the old blind man, I have learned from all kinds of behaviors. Jiang Li thinks that the old blind man should be helping us.
Grandpa said that the old blind man told him that the current situation is going to poop, he is not very capable, and he has studied the art of seeking power, and he is willing to stir up the situation, just see if we accompany or not.
Jiang Li said in a deep voice. "I wanted to be a strategist."
In ancient times, most of the strategists often used the identities of "doormen", "military advisors", "staff", etc., to give advice and solve problems for their "masters" and "lords", and sometimes even repay each other with death, and they were generally assisted by princes and nobles. The main role of the strategist is to help people analyze the complex situation they are facing and give suggestions for coping.
Grandpa Yi frowned, a little worried in his heart, "In case it's a spy sent by the Zhou family." ”
Jiang Li nodded, "It's impossible to prevent it, wait and see what he wants to do." ”
Jiang Li and I can't stay for a long time for fear of letting people target Grandpa, but make trouble for him, after all, he is a Yin Si person, and he must not be allowed to let people send him to have two hearts.
After saying goodbye to my grandfather, I still retreated and left.
On the way out of Yinsi, these yin people seem to be looking at us, and that kind of defensive look is extremely strange.
Back at the mayor's house, Wang Duancheng sat in the living room, holding a large hookah bag in his hand, smoking a cigarette stick, and his face was sad. Seeing me and Jiang Li come back suddenly. Wang Duangong's expression was very strange, and he spoke after a while, "The body was taken away, and I couldn't stop it." ”
At this time, I found out that Wang Duangong had a blue mark on his face, which should have been beaten.
Jiang Li asked Wang Duangong what had happened.
Wang Duangong told us. Just as we were leaving, two people suddenly came, saying that the people from the Temple of the Son of Heaven in Xudu were specially running errands for Yin Si, and they had to take Lin Jiaying's body away, but Wang Duangong would definitely not let him, so they beat him. took Li Jiaying's body away.
I clenched my fists angrily and said indignantly, "This yin is too unkind to do things, and he actually hit someone!" ”
Jiang Li told us that in the palace of the Son of Heaven, only the four major judges lived, and there was no one else except them. It's just that I didn't expect that Yin Si would be so arrogant and unreasonable, and they would say any rules all day long, but they themselves had never followed the rules.
Wang Duangong said with a dejected face, "It's all my fault, it's useless." Didn't help you. ”
At this time, Jiang Li suddenly frowned, and said extremely sternly, "What an Infernal Affairs." ”
Wang Duangong's eyes trembled, and his face immediately became irritable, "Daoist Jiang, what do you mean by this." Am I still lying to you? I told you as soon as Lin Jiaying had an accident, and besides, I have no grievances with him, so I can't hurt him! ”
Seeing Wang Duangong's thunderous appearance, I also thought that Jiang Li had misunderstood.
But then, Jiang Li just snorted lightly, with a serious face. "It's undeniable that you have no grievances with him, but if you are a person of the Yin Division, then it doesn't matter if there is a grudge between you and him, you just need to act as ordered."
Wang Duan stomped his feet angrily, covered the blue seal on his face and said, "Jiang Daochang." Why are you such a person, I was beaten like this just now in order to protect Lin Jiaying's body, but now you think I did it. I don't know where I'm rushing to you, you have to think like this! ”
Jiang Li's eyes were sharp. Extremely serious, "The people of Yin Si really know my deeds well, and every step is counted as a shot in my absence, this kind of thing shouldn't be a coincidence, right?" ”
Jiang Li said this, I think things are a little strange, dealing with Wang Duangong, he stole my magic seal and sword before, and then almost killed me, and his reasons for these things are all due to saving Lin Yongye.
And he always seems to find just the right reason.
Seeing that Wang Duangong insisted that he had nothing to do with him, Jiang Li didn't pursue it anymore and didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Back in the house, Jiang Li told me. Although Wang Duangong insisted that it didn't matter to him, but the whole thing should not be manipulated by him behind his back, he was also acting on orders, it should be just like what the City God said, they are all petty officials in the whole matter, even the Ten Palaces Hades may not be clear, it must be deployed by King Wucheng himself.
Wang Duangong should be the person of Yin Si, but what his purpose is, Jiang Li is still not sure, but he just thinks that he should be one of the ten Yin Marshals of Yin Si, and King Wucheng arranged him to Lin Jiaying's side, just like Du Hai's appearance, he is a chess piece that has been arranged a long time ago.
I asked Jiang Li, so are we going to Xudu City?
Jiang Li shook his head and told me, the time has not yet come, cause and effect, Xudu City must be going, although Lin Yongye is destined for me, it does not mean that I can help his father, this matter should first let Lin Yongye know, whether his father can be saved, it depends on whether Lin Yongye has this ability, and the person we are going to find should be Lin Yongye.
