Volume 2 The Dog Can Bully the Tiger Out of Pingyang Chapter 65 Out of Pingyang (II)
It's September, Yicheng in the north has entered autumn, and the dense forest on the mountains around Pingyang Town has begun to turn yellow.
After Liu Zhengjing received Lin Qingyue's call, he looked at the distant mountains and knew that the days of comfort were coming to an end.
Lin Shizheng, as the deputy director of the Dongshan Prefecture Public Security Bureau, has always been clean and self-conscious, and he will not be caught by others.
Even if there are some accidents, it is impossible for Lin Shizheng, who is considered to be a high-ranking power, to be controlled.
Lin Qingyue didn't say much on the phone, Liu Zhengjing couldn't make a judgment, and it was more likely that someone would set him up.
Lin Shizheng has been in the officialdom for many years and has so much experience, it is not that there are no opponents who want to target him over the years, but they have not succeeded.
Therefore, it is difficult to judge the enemy, there are too many people who want to get rid of Lin Shizheng's nail, and revenge from the Song family cannot be ruled out.
These circumstances show that this time the matter is very tricky, and Lin Qingyue also knows Liu Zhengzheng's ability to solve the case before she calls him.
Song Zhi wanted to snatch Lin Shizheng out, originally intending not to let Lin Zhengjing out of Pingyang Town.
But Lin Zhengjing already knew about it, how could he ignore it, whether it was Lin Shizheng or Song Zhi, in Liu Zhengjing's eyes, they had already regarded them as their biological parents.
On the day he received the call, Liu Zhengjing came to Zhang Dahai's house and saw the faceless man and Yu Ni, which can be regarded as a resignation to Zhang Dahai.
Nominally, he reported back to the leader, but in fact, Liu Zhengjing's file has become a sacrificial agent, and after the explosion, he found Zhang Dahai to make up for it.
The reason why he came to quit was because during this time, he found that Zhang Dahai and the Faceless Ones often appeared around Pingyang Town, similar to the old farmers, as if they were patrolling.
Liu Zhengjing is not stupid, he was able to survive on the bounty list before, and the rules of Pingyang Town are one thing, and some people have indeed helped him.
This love is admitted.
Zhang Dahai didn't say much, just said that he should be careful in the future, and he could come back if he couldn't get along.
It's just that I don't know if it's Liu Zhengjing's delusion, and I always feel that Yu Ni and the Faceless Man seem to have a flame in their eyes when they hear that they are going out again.
After coming out of Zhang Dahai's house, Liu Zhengjing went to the Hundred Flowers Club, and finally pressed a motorcycle for Xiao Qiao, and said half-ridiculously and half-seriously: "Lang Jun will go or not, and the virtuous wife should not guard the empty boudoir." ”
Who knew that a joke actually caused Xiao Qiao to burst into tears. made Liu Zhengjing cry at a loss, and getting along with each other for a period of time also made Liu Zhengjing understand this girl, compared to the white lotus outside, this girl who grew up in the Hundred Flowers Club is much purer, like a clear lotus in a swamp.
Wiping away his tears, Xiao Qiao gave Liu Zhengjing a golden hairpin, Liu Zhengjing thought it was a love token, and when he twisted it for a while, Xiao Qiao sneered and laughed, "This is the token of the Hundred Flowers Club, no matter where you are, you can get help with this token, and the information of the Hundred Flowers Club is the first in the world." ”
Liu Zhengjing also realized for the first time that the status of the Hundred Flowers Club in the Hongmeng should be a full-time intelligence.
It's understandable to think about it, there is no easier way to find out information than this profession, after all, men who go to bed are the easiest to teach and treat each other with sincerity.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Qiao, Liu Zhengjing went to the Tiangong Pavilion in Beishan again, and as soon as he walked to the entrance of the cave, he saw the white-haired Tai Uncle Zu who seemed to be waiting for him.
"Are you leaving?" The old man's eyes were deep.
"Well, I will repay my father's debt to the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion in the future." Liu Zhengcheng said seriously.
The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face opened a lot, "If you stay, maybe I will really hand over the Tiangong Pavilion to you." ”
Liu Zhengjing is just a joke, he has self-knowledge, he can play tricks and prostitute some weapon ideas from his previous life, he is not the master of a pavilion, not to mention that he still has his own things to do.
The old man did not force him to stay, waved his hand and entered the cave again.
Liu Zhengjing thought about it, but he still went to the ancestral hall, and when he wanted to leave, he had to say goodbye to his cheap master.
But I don't know where Zong Yong is in retreat, so I can only go to the ancestral hall to try my luck, which is the center of Pingyang Town, and Zong Yong said before the retreat that there are troubles that cannot be solved can go to the ancestral hall, and later changed the name to the Hundred Flowers Club.
Liu Zhengjing pushed open the door of the ancestral hall for the first time in several months, and was greeted by a huge stone stele, which was engraved with four big characters painted with silver hooks and iron, "water can overturn the boat".
Walk through the stone monument in the courtyard and enter the main hall, which is very spacious, and it is densely packed with hundreds of tablets, all on three sides.
In front of the huge incense case in the middle of the main hall, a middle-aged man stood and watched Liu Zhengjing walk in with a smile.
"Let's put on the pillar incense first." Without waiting for Liu Zhengjing to speak, he raised his hand to signal Liu Zhengjing not to speak first, and handed Liu Zhengjing three pillars of incense.
Liu Zhengjing hesitated for a moment, took the incense, bowed three times in each of the three directions respectfully, and then solemnly inserted the incense into the incense case.
"I know what you mean by this, Master is in retreat, and we can't see each other until we don't go out." Zheng said with a smile.
Master? Could this also be the teacher's apprentice, his own senior brother?
Zheng Da saw what Liu Zhengjing was thinking, "Speaking of which, you should call me a master, but ...... Since Master has accepted you as an entry, then you can call me Senior Brother. ”
"Senior brother has seen senior brother." Liu Zhengjing did not twist, and respectfully hugged his fists and saluted.
It was only when he raised his head again that he found that Zheng Da's eyes were in a trance, and he came back to his senses after a while.
"You're a lot like your dad. My name is Zheng Daxia, they all call me Zheng Da, when your father was still in Pingyang Town, everyone called him Liu San. ”
Zheng Da kindly took Liu Zhengjing's hand and walked towards the back hall, like a peaceful elder.
The ancestral hall is very similar to the ancient courtyard house of Sanjin in the previous life, and the back hall is a little more popular, and the young people who come and go, holding some documents in their hands, seem to be busy with something.
Seeing Zheng Da holding Liu Zhengjing's hand and entering the door, they all looked sideways, and no one came to say hello, looking very busy.
Zheng Da took Liu Zhengjing's hand and explained: "Usually it's very busy here, you can understand it as the town government of Pingyang Town. ”
Liu Zhengjing thought to himself that it was probably not only Pingyang Town, but also the administrative center of Hongmeng.
Zheng Da led Liu Zhengjing to a side hall, the side hall was decorated with antique colors, the bookshelves full of books were full of thick books, and tea had been brewed on a tea table, as if Zheng Da also knew that Liu Zhengjing was going to prepare in advance.
Liu Zhengjing took a sip gently, "Senior brother, I still have urgent matters to leave, and I will have the opportunity to come back to visit you in the future." ”
The purpose of resignation has been achieved, and Liu Zhengjing wants to leave.
"No hurry, no hurry, have a cup of tea." Zheng Da kept it.
Liu Zhengjing was not easy to disobey, so he had to pick up the tea again. Waiting for Zheng Da to speak, he knew that Zheng Da must have something to say.
Zheng Da took a sip of tea gently, the smile on his face faded, and there was a hint of depression in his eyes, "You are very similar to Sanchang, and he was as old as you when he left Pingyang Town." ”
"I am twenty-five years older than him, I watched him grow up, and in the past, Master rarely stayed in Pingyang Town, and I took care of them."
They? Liu Zhengjing captured the words in Zheng Da's words, Zheng Daxia, Liu Sangen, is there a second child in the middle?
Zheng Da didn't mention the matter of the second child, and then said: "Your father has been more stubborn since he was a child, obviously he has the best talent in martial arts, but he is the least useless, and no one can stop him, and then no one can stop him if he wants to leave." ”
Zheng Da said with sadness in his tone, "Serious, do you want us?" ”
Liu Zhengjing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to what Zheng Da said, which he had never thought about.
Zheng Da said slowly: "Things back then were not so simple, Hong Meng was not as monolithic as the outside world imagined, we had the opportunity to take him back at the beginning of your father's accident that year, but unfortunately we were resisted, but I can't wish them ......."
"On the day of the accident, Master was entangled, and Pingyang Town also fell into the biggest crisis in hundreds of years, in order to save you, Master was seriously injured, and by the time Master arrived, he was already ......."
"When Master found you, you were already a corpse, and Master was being hunted down at the time, so he had to put your body in the woods. By the time we get back there you're gone. ”
Liu Zhengjing listened quietly, and finally determined that the third-party force he crossed over on the day was indeed Pingyang Town.
"Later we learned that you didn't die, and God forbid. We have been paying attention to you all these years, but Master always feels guilty about you, and because you don't have the physique of a warrior or a warlock, he wants you to spend this life in peace. ”
This sentence solved one of Liu Zhengjing's doubts, Liu Sangen's research was almost pierced, only with Lin Shizheng and his wife, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't protect themselves, if there was Pingyang Town behind it, it would make sense.
It's true that he has amnesia, and it's true that he wastes firewood, no matter how strong Jiumen is, he can't do it because Liu Zhengjing, an orphan who has lost his value, and Pingyang Town turned his face.
"It wasn't until your adoptive parents found Pingyang Town that we saw you again."
Zheng Da continued: "I hope you don't blame us, especially not Master...... Because of the events of that year, his injuries have not healed to this day, and his temperament has changed greatly, and he has been depressed since that day. ”
Liu Zhengjing remembered Zong Yong's eternally pale face and the terrifying momentum on the roof, and his heart was a little warm.
He has always felt that only Lin Shizheng's family is really good to him in this world, but now he suddenly learned that there are still some people who also care about him, and he can't help but be a little moved.
"Senior brother, you don't need to say much, I haven't complained about anyone over the years, this is true, and I've been thinking about how I survived back then, and now I know, it's too late to be grateful." Liu Zhengjing said sincerely.
Zheng Da's eyes turned red, "You are much more sensible than your father, if he was ...... back then Forget it, let's not talk about it, the sixth uncle has an obsession over there, and he hasn't given us a good face over the years, he has the heart to let you take over the class of Tiangong Pavilion, but I dissuaded you, you ......"
"Senior brother, I don't need to say much, I know that you are for my good."
Zheng Da nodded, "I think these should be up to you, the sixth uncle ancestor has never asked people's opinions, and it was the same when you let your father be the pavilion master, I don't want you to follow in your father's footsteps." ”
Liu Zhengjing nodded, to be honest, he was a little surprised, but thinking of the old man who could even touch porcelain, it seemed that it was normal to do anything, and the three-hundred-year-old old man's brain was probably not very bright.
"And your marriage contract with Xiao Qiao, Hua Wushang wanted to repent of her marriage, but she was also reprimanded by me, your parents are gone, she wants to repent of her marriage, when we are not there?" Speaking of this, it was rare to see a trace of anger on the face of this gentle scholar-looking man.
"This ......" was about to say the words that he didn't care about the marriage contract, but when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.
"You have already burned incense just now, and you are also counted as a member of the Hong League, and you will be counted as a member of my Hongmeng in the future." Zheng Da said another sentence that surprised Liu Zhengcheng.
In the past few months, Liu Zhengjing has stayed in Pingyang Town, like a foreigner, and he doesn't know how to deal with the relationship between Pingyang Town, but he didn't expect to join the alliance in such a daze.
"Back then, your father insisted on going out of the court, and now you are in the court again, maybe this is fate to make people." Zheng Da seems to be a very sentimental person.
As he spoke, Zheng Da took off a black token from his waist, "This is the deacon token inspector token of the torture hall, you can take it." ”
Liu Zhengjing hurriedly waved his hand, "Senior brother only entered the hall today, how can he be a supervisor?" ”
He remembered that when he tasted Zhang Dahai's information with Wei Min, he had the position of "deacon of the torture hall", although he didn't know the structure of the torture hall, but the inspector sounded very awesome.
Zheng Da stretched out his hand and pressed it, "You don't have to refuse, this is not an official position, nor does it have any duties, speaking of which, the torture hall is also one of the thirteen sects of my Hongmeng, but in the past few hundred years, the Hongmeng has been scattered all over the place, and the cohesion is not as good as before, and the responsibilities of the torture hall have gradually faded, and now there are only four people in the torture hall with you." ”
Zheng Da explained: "Giving you this identity is to let you walk outside with the identity of Hongmeng, it shouldn't have been so hasty, I wanted you to have a sense of belonging in Pingyang Town and then lead you into the hall, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon." There will be a chance to have a formal induction ceremony in the future. ”
"The second is for the black iron rod, the black iron rod is called the torture stick, which has been the treasure of the torture hall since ancient times, the instrument of punishment, since the master and uncle gave it to you, then there must be an identity that can wear him, so as not to fall into the mouth. Although there is still a suspicion of trespassing, it is still in accordance with the rules. ”
At this time, a young man walked quickly into the side hall, glanced at Liu Zhengjing, and reported with his hand, "Tell you to sit in the hall, the secret posts squatting outside Pingyang Town have all been eradicated." ”
Zheng Da waved his hand, and the man bowed back.
"Senior brother, I won't delay you, the group of people outside the town has been disposed of, and now you can leave."
Liu Zhengjing felt a warm current in his heart, but he wondered in his heart, why are there still people squatting outside Pingyang Town?
[Summary at the end of the volume:
The first volume is more than 107,000 words, and the second volume is less than 110,000 words, which is in line with expectations.
The first volume is a bit laborious to write for a novice like me, and the rhythm is not well mastered, mainly throwing out the background and leading to the main line, in order not to throw the setting, I did some side lines, and I was not very satisfied with the writing.
The second volume is the real plot development, and it is also the novice village of the protagonist, and the two volumes of more than 200,000 words have basically completed the outline goal, after all, the pen power is limited, but the six catties of paste have been learning while writing, and I believe it will be more exciting later.
The main characters don't appear much, leading to the Nine Gates of Daqin, and the main line has officially begun, the next volume will change the map, walk out of the novice village, and begin to show some of the true faces of Daqin, the Nine Gates will begin to show their hideousness, and Hong Meng will also surface.
This volume will have more words, more conflicts, and more characters, and as for driving, it will be minimized or more subtle, and I really don't want to be reminded by the editor.
Finally, I planted a flag for myself, and I promised to update 6,000 words a day this month, and if I can't do it, I'm a dog.
Finally, if you can see this novel, it will be my pleasure, and I would like to say thank you first, even though you never spoke. (Grievance)
No matter what the grades are, even if it is for love, this book will be written until the end, don't expect results, and write a story that can satisfy you first. 】
