Chapter 168: The power of chess comes from imagination

Gan City.

When Lin Ye arrived at the station, the members of the Ganshi Laboratory were already waiting at the station.

These ordinary staff members naturally don't know Lin Ye's current reputation in the Inhuman circle, but as long as it is a consultant who comes, they have to be well received.

"Let's go straight to the destination."

On the way here, Lin Ye already understood what had happened.

I asked Zhong Shan to find the news of He Zhiming, the last time Zhong Shan stayed in Gan City for a few days but there was no gain, but just a day ago, Zhong Shan got the news from Gan City, saying that he had found news related to He Zhiming.

After Zhong Shan was notified, he immediately rushed to Gan City, and went to the village where the clues were found with Tu Yang, the leader of the Gan City Laboratory, but disappeared mysteriously.

The staff of the laboratory here in Gan City had already reported to the above, and the above was also preparing to arrange someone to deal with it, and when they learned that Lin Ye had gone to Gan City, they handed over this matter to Lin Ye to deal with.

The car quickly drove into the town, through the streets of the town, and finally into a village.

"Consultant Lin, our team leader and team leader Zhong were located here before they disappeared at the end, but we searched the entire village, but we couldn't find the whereabouts of the two team leaders."

Lin Ye got out of the car, and there were already two people waiting there at the entrance of the village, this was the employee of the Gan City Laboratory, who had come to the village to search for Zhong Shan's whereabouts.

"There's no hurry."

Lin Ye looked at an old man sitting under the old camphor tree at the entrance of the village.

The old man was thin and stooped, sitting at a stone table with a chessboard drawn, his eyes closed and greedily basking in the sun.

"I asked the old man, and he said he saw the team leader and them enter the village." Seeing Lin Ye's eyes fall on the old man, the staff on the side reported the situation in a low voice.

Lin Ye nodded in understanding, but walked towards the old man and sat down across from the stone table.

"Old man, what's next?"

The stone table was engraved with a chess game, and the old man opened his cloudy old eyes when he heard the voice, and smiled and showed the few remaining teeth: "Okay." ”

There was a drawer under the stone table, and the old man took out the chess pieces from it.

Lin Ye chose Red, and Black went first.

The old man's speed of playing chess was not fast, he played very steadily, but Lin Ye played very fast, and the old man immediately followed after playing, which led to the fact that in the second half, Lin Ye was already showing signs of defeat.

Although several staff members of the laboratory didn't understand why Consultant Lin played chess with the old man at the entrance of the village as soon as he got off the car, they also knew that they were silent when they watched the chess, and when they saw that Lin Ye was about to lose, their faces showed a look of anxiety.

Lin Ye picked up the only remaining horse and played a chess move.

Seeing Lin Yeluozi's position, the old man raised the corner of his eye, and the onlookers on the side were surprised, Consultant Lin didn't read the wrong news, why did this horse go?

Aren't horses walking the day?

"My horse has grown up, and it is much stronger than the other horses, and one step can withstand two steps of other horses."

Lin Ye smiled and explained, and the onlookers on the side were speechless for a moment, isn't this a naked trick?

However, to their surprise, the old man on the other side accepted it silently, and then went down, and the two fought again, and three minutes later, Lin Ye only had one soldier left.

[Smack, General! 】

Lin Ye directly crossed the river with the soldiers and placed them on top of the red side's handsome.

The old man looked up at Lin Ye, and Lin Ye smiled: "The cannon I just seemed to have been eaten by you, but in fact, I deliberately chose to sacrifice my cannon, so that my soldier is not an ordinary soldier, but an artilleryman." ”

Burst!

Listening to Lin Ye's explanation, several staff members almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, obviously they didn't pay attention to being eaten and ran, how could it become a sacrifice?

If this is all right, it is not enough to simply use the opponent's taxi to assassinate the general, just say that he has rebelled and become a spy.

"Chess and chess, the stronger the imagination, the stronger the chess strength, and the concession."

The old man silently put away the chess pieces, but Lin Ye held down the old man's hand and said with a smile: "Old man, I won a game of chess for you, so let's ask you about someone." ”

"Like them, ask the people who entered the village, it was true that two outsiders entered the village yesterday......"

"No, I'll ask you about another person."

"Who?"

"He Zhiming."

The old man's hand shook, and the chess piece in his hand fell, rolled on the ground several times, and rolled under the camphor tree.

The old man looked at Lin Ye, "How do you know him?" ”

"Entrusted by someone."

"Hey, since those two people entered the village yesterday, I know that some things can't be passed after all, are you willing to listen to a story told by the old man?"

"Listen up."

"This story has to start with the time of the rebels."

……

The end of the Qing Dynasty!

There is an official eunuch surnamed Tang in Gannan City, who has been studying for generations, and has produced several big officials in the family tree, although he has not been able to become an official in recent generations, but with the shadow of his ancestors, he is also the leading landlord in Gannan.

The old man of the Tang family has a daughter, who is eighteen years old, and she is deeply loved by the old man of the Tang family, like a pearl in the palm of his hand.

Ordinary people are already talking about being a matchmaker at sixteen, but because Mr. Tang loves his daughter, he lets his daughter be free to make decisions in that marriage.

The young lady of the Tang family with golden branches and jade leaves, how can ordinary men get into her eyes.

A maid told her that the temple outside the city was very spiritual, and the Tang family took the maid to the temple to burn incense, wanting to ask for a person she liked.

Maybe it's sincerity, or maybe it's a lot of incense donations.

On the way back from burning incense at the temple, he was blocked by a wild boar, and at the moment of danger, a man appeared and shot the wild boar with three arrows.

Miss Tang saw through the curtain of the car that the man was handsome and a life-saving benefactor, and her heart bloomed.

Later, Miss Tang learned from the maid that the man's name was He Zhiming, although he was from a farmer's family, his grandfather was a showman, and he had studied and read with his grandfather since he was a child.

The most important thing is that now the He family is the tenant of their Tang family.

Miss Tang took the grace of saving her life as a reason, and went to find He Zhiming whenever she was free, so after a few times, a heart was even more secret, and He Zhiming was not that kind of nerd, and soon understood Miss Tang's mind.

Lang is affectionate, and concubines are intentional.

The talented woman is extremely matched.

After the two complained to each other, He Zhiming was worried that the old man of the Tang family would not agree, and the young lady of the Tang family reassured him, saying that his father had already spoken first, and let him choose his husband.

When the Tang family returned home, she also tested her father's tone.

Knowing that his daughter already had a sweetheart and was a life-saving benefactor, the old man of the Tang family was overjoyed, and directed: "The fifteenth day of next month is my father's birthday, and it is also a double happiness to let your lover come to the door to propose." ”

Miss Tang conveyed her father's words to He Zhiming, and He Zhiming also responded.

So Miss Tang stayed in the boudoir for a month, fantasizing about the sweet scene of the lover coming to the door to propose marriage on the fifteenth.

The fifteenth day of the first month.

The red lights of the Tang family are hanging high, and the family and friends are full.

At the birthday banquet, the old man of the Tang family drank a few more glasses, and under the strength of the wine, he also said that someone would come to the door to propose marriage today, and the guests flattered him, which was a great joy for double happiness.

can be the uncle of the Tang family, and he must be both talented and beautiful.

Many female relatives of the Tang family, especially those of the same generation as Miss Tang, even made fun of Miss Tang, and bluntly said that they wanted to see what kind of man they were able to be favored by our eldest lady of the Tang family.

made the eldest lady of the Tang family shy.

The sun is on the third pole, but the Tang family is a little absent-minded, but the lover has not yet appeared, didn't he encounter some accidents?

Just when the eldest lady of the Tang family was waiting for her, the housekeeper finally came to report that someone came to the door to propose marriage.

When the eldest lady of the Tang family heard the maid's report, she walked towards the front yard without being reserved, but when she arrived at the front yard, she found that the front yard was silent, and her father sat on the main seat with a blue face.

In the hall, a beggar stood trembling, holding a jade pendant in his hand.

Seeing this jade pendant, the eldest lady of the Tang family trembled, this jade pendant was her love token to her lover, how could it appear on this beggar?

In addition to the jade pendant in the beggar's hand, there was also a document, and the eldest lady of the Tang family took the paperwork, but after reading it, the whole person fainted.

"Let my daughter and I agree, take this token to ask for marriage, and I hope that Master Tang will allow it."

……

"On that day, the old man Tang's birthday was unhappy, the old man of the Tang family fell ill in a fit of anger, and the eldest lady of the Tang family also locked herself in the boudoir and never took half a step out of the door."

"On the fifteenth day of the following month, the eldest lady of the Tang family hanged herself in the boudoir in her wedding dress."

The story seemed to end here, but Lin Ye knew that it was not that simple.

"Why did He Zhiming do this?"

"Creation makes people, and the world makes people." The old man sighed: "At that time, there were some foreign schools in various places, especially some people who had read foreign ink, and they were not used to many things at that time. ”

"But where can the common people understand, the common people see that the landlords still have braids, but they don't dare to cut them off so easily, and the Tang family is a firm pigtails."

"This He Zhiming, I want to use this way to humiliate the Tang family and discredit the Tang family, so that the people will no longer listen to the Tang family."

"And then?"

"Later, the emperor was restored, the yamen began to be wanted, He Zhiming changed his name, and then a few years later, he participated in the revolution, went to the battlefield and became lame, and returned to the village to adopt a pair of children, who died of illness just a few years after they became adults."

"Then He Zhiming changed his name?"

"He Nianjin."

As the old man spoke, the originally calm camphor tree suddenly roared, and the wind howled at the entrance of the entire village.

The staff of the laboratory applied for a change in an instant, and one of them glanced at the electronic instruments on his watch, and said anxiously: "Consultant Lin, I have checked that there is an excessive concentration of yin qi, and there are ghosts attacking. ”

Without the staff's reminder, Lin Ye also felt it.

At the entrance of the village, the female ghost in the wedding dress was standing.

With long hair and no wind, he exuded a cold aura all over his body, and his eyes were staring at the old man.

"He Nianjin, He Nianjin, you will take a good name."

The words of the female ghost Tang Jin, Lin Ye was not surprised, the first time he saw this old man, he knew that the old man was a ghost, and the one who could know He Zhiming's matter so clearly was probably no one else except the person concerned.

When the old man saw Tang Jin's appearance, he was not afraid or flustered, but instead showed a guilty expression on his face.

"In my life, the most guilty is you, when I was young and frivolous, I thought that all feudal existence should be defeated, after that day, because I was arrested by the yamen, I had to leave Gannan to hide, and later joined the revolutionary army, until the revolution was successful and returned to my hometown, I wanted to apologize to you, but I got the news that you had already hanged yourself."

"Apologize? You made my Tang family a joke, and made my father unaffordable, so how could he apologize. ”

"My father was good in his life, building bridges and paving roads, how many families have been favored, I have never been evil in my life, I will give money when I go out and meet a wandering beggar, why am I wrong?"

Facing Tang Jin's questioning, the old man smiled bitterly.

It's not human fault.

It's a pity that he understood this truth too late, and ended up regretting it for life.

"Today, I will take your soul, and then destroy your whole door!"

Tang Jin was full of murderous aura, and several staff members of the laboratory looked at Lin Ye, this ghost seemed to be very powerful.

Lin Ye took a deep breath, if it was just about the grievances between He Zhiming and Tang Jin, he could ignore it, but if it involved a living person, it would be within his scope of responsibility.

"Ahem......"

Lin Ye coughed and was about to speak, but the female ghost Tang Jin didn't even look at her, but the old man looked at him: "The little brother just played this game of chess with the old man, it's very interesting, the two people you are looking for are in the mountains behind the village, so you don't have to meddle in the affairs here." ”

Lin Ye squinted at the old man, and finally walked towards the village.

As the old man said, this is a grudge between him and Tang Jin, and there is no need for him to interfere.

On the haystack in the field behind the village, Lin Ye found Zhong Shan sleeping on the ground and another middle-aged man, who was obviously Tu Yang, the leader of Gannan.

"It's strange, I've searched here before, why didn't I see the team leader."

"It's not surprising, this place was used to cover up before, and it's normal for you not to see it."

The ghost has a blocking technique, and the old man obviously blocked the eyes of the search staff before, so that they could not see Zhong Shan and Tu Yang.

Several staff members stepped forward and shook Zhong Shan and the two, Zhong Shan opened his eyes in a daze, his expression was confused at first, but after seeing Lin Ye's figure, his body was smart, and his sanity immediately recovered.

"Consultant Lin, you are here, I found out the news of He Zhiming, that He Zhiming originally changed his name, changed his name to He Nianjin, joined the revolutionary army, and later after the success of the revolution, he returned to Gannan and adopted a pair of Tang orphans."

"Don's orphans?" Lin Ye was stunned.

"Yes, wasn't it a revolution at that time, there was also a revolution in southern Gansu, and the revolutionaries robbed several large households in southern Gannan at that time, including a family surnamed Tang, it is said that the whole family was killed, leaving only the children hiding in the cellar."

Lin Ye looked in the direction of the entrance of the village and did not say anything for a long time.
