Volume 1 One Hand Covers the Sky Chapter 13 True Song
"Fellow party? I watched Chen Erda staggering, I was afraid that he was drunk, although Zhen Yi was my son-in-law, he was already dead. The chains hung down, Jiang Zimo gradually put away his smile in the rusty jingle, and he said calmly, "Even my daughter is dead, and there is no party with me." The rebellions have all been ambushed, and the Zhen family has been exiled. Lang Lang Qiankun, the world is clear, only I, an old man in the twilight of my life, is still alive in the world. ”
Jiang Zimo lowered his head and smiled dumbly, and his gradually raised eyes stared at Chen Pinggang, which suddenly made Chen Pinggang's face full of anger suddenly stiffen.
"Eh, second brother, Mr. Jiang is the head of the Jiang family, and his reputation is far and wide, and everyone in Yanzhou praises the elder for his outstanding achievements, how could Zhen Yi have a relationship with Mr. Jiang for his rebellion." Chen Jinqiu's eyebrows were narrow, and he said with a smile, "Master Jiang lost his beloved daughter, and it is understandable that he cares about his granddaughter. This is a big prison, there are no outsiders around, and the three of us came here to find out the case and redress the grievances of Lord Jiang. He said and looked at Chen Qiusheng and called softly, "Big brother." ”
"Lord Jiang, the letter has been sent to the house, and even the lady who grinds for you on weekdays can see that the handwriting is from you." Chen Qiusheng turned around slowly, "Here, the person who delivered the letter has also been arrested. Human witnesses, physical evidence, all designated evidence is conclusive, and you have to recognize these even if you don't recognize them. ”
"The old man's famous words are here, and he has never written a letter." Jiang Zimo took a few steps closer and said in a dumb voice, "Master Chen, the handwriting can be faked." ”
"Is this bitten to death and not recognized? Hehe. Chen Pinggang sneered, "Jiang Zimo, you are really a green pine, but you are afraid that you have never heard of the wood show in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!" ”
Yanzhou has a meritorious work in controlling water, and the first emperor Zheng Wu Emperor during the Sheng Chong period once called Jiang Zimo 'Dingze Zhensong. Chen Pinggang is ridiculing him for stopping at the top and ignoring the world.
"The old man is rotten!" Jiang Zimo grabbed the wooden pillar and looked directly at Chen Qiusheng, "There is no need for the wind to rise and fall off the cliff." ”
"Yanzhou Mugu is high and far-sighted, Yanzhou perennial floods flood Tuze, and the entire fourteen counties of Yanzhou praise the achievements of Jiang people." Chen Qiusheng stared at him, "Why are you so modest?" Your work is greater than heaven. ”
Sky!
Jiang Zimo's eyes shrank suddenly, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and above the courtiers, there is only one piece of heaven, that is the current Emperor Zheng Guo, he is the sky, who dares to be bigger than the sky? !
"Yanzhou is flooded frequently, poor and barren land, every year the grain and grass need to be played on the saint, please mobilize grain and grass from all over the southwest to maintain vitality." Jiang Zimo's fingertips slid down and slightly grasped the wooden pillar, "The poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, it's all a joke, how can Lord Chen be gullible?" ”
"The original intention is to be tried tomorrow, who I am here for, Master Jiang knows in his heart." Chen Qiusheng took out a letter from his sleeve, "As for whether Lord Jiang wants to accept it or not, it is up to you to decide...... Let's go. ”
Chen Qiusheng took the lead in turning around, and Chen Pinggang waved his sleeve robe angrily to follow.
And Chen Jinqiu pointed to the letter meaningfully: "Lord Jiang, now Zheng Guo's sky is only Lord Sikong with a clear breeze, the mountain rain is coming, the green pine is difficult to rest, there is a breeze as a companion, the green pine should be the head of the cliff, and please Lord Jiang do it himself." ”
He finished speaking and left.
Jiang Zimo looked at the letter and frowned and pondered for a long time, then took it out and read it, and immediately chuckled, he sat cross-legged on the ground and crumpled the letter.
The lantern jailer went and returned, saluted Jiang Zimo respectfully, and said, "Boss, there are people outside who want to see you." ”
"No, Pang Boyi's hand is covering the sky of Chongdu!" Jiang Zimo looked at the jailer coldly, "I am poor in Yanzhou, but the people are constantly striving for self-improvement, and the three little cubs come to coerce and lure, what happens next?" Isn't it possible to add a knife and axe to my old bones? Drive away, drive away, I'm tired. ”
"Yes...... This ......," the jailer said again, "My lord, this man is not one of the three court captains, but—"
"Who else could it be?" Jiang Zimo interrupted the conversation and threw the letterhead, "If it is a subordinate official, let him go, and when he sees me, a guilty old man, I am afraid that it will be a disaster." ”
The jailer crouched down and approached the lantern, handed him a golden hairpin, and said, "My lord, the man said that if you see this, you will definitely meet you." ”
The hazy firelight reflected Jiang Zimo's gradually widening eyes, and the sadness that had been hidden in his heart for many years gushed out again, and his thin fingers trembled slightly, stroking the blood stains left on the hairpin.
He rolled in his throat and said, "This is Xiaonan's ......"
……
Before leaving, Qi Zhou Zhenren did not come out to send off, only the fifth Ting saw off Yuan Ji and Jiang Guo.
After arriving at the Angry Demon Realm, Yuan Ji had already learned the sword technique, but he didn't have an immortal sword yet, so he had to share a fairy sword with Jiang Guo.
The two went down the mountain and went straight to Yanzhou, Yuan Ji glanced at the letter in his hand from four years ago, and asked the old woman at the jewelry stall in front of him: "May I ask how to go to Yichazhuang?" ”
"Walking to Xizhi Street, the teahouse business is booming, you can see it at a glance." The old woman turned to Jiang Guo and smiled, "Girl has good eyesight, this is a red bean hairpin, the style is chic, you must look good when you are so beautiful." ”
"Red bean hairpin?" Jiang Guo pinched the hairpin and looked at it, and said disdainfully, "My daughter's stuff." ”
"Bought it." Yuan Ji took out the silver money and threw it on the stall table, "Senior sister, let's go." ”
Jiang Guo was stunned for a moment, and before she came back to her senses, she was pulled by Yuan Ji and walked to Xizhi Street with her sleeve robe, she held the red bean hairpin, looked at Yuan Ji's back, and suddenly a layer of quiet blush appeared on her face.
When the two arrived at Yi Cha Village, the crowd in the building was crowded, the seats were full, there was a bed of piano on the stage, and a singer was sitting on the piano and singing a cappella song.
"A Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand...... A soldier is like a sea...... Sword Soldier Hunting Reflection Waning Moon ......"
The tail sound, the iron-blooded killing intent turned to stop, the drums slowly retreated, and the whole audience was silent, only the sound of the tea guests could be heard one after another.
After a while, I listened to the thunderous applause, and the tea guests were full of praise.
Xiao Er led the two into the private room, and after a while, he sent dry goods such as candied melon seeds. Xiao Er poured the tea and said a few words in Yuan Ji's ear. He greeted Jiang Guo and followed Xiao Er into another private room.
"This song of night sand has been sung in the teahouse for six years." Lu Bupin turned his back to look out the window, "And you are four years late." ”
Yuan Ji knelt down on one knee when he saw Lu Bupindeng, and bowed his head to salute: "Yuan Ji, meet Mr. Lu." ”
"I heard that you entered the Kaiyuan Valley." Lu Bupin stood up and looked at the mansion at the end of the street, "That's very good. ”
"Mr. Lu's letter, Yuanji received it." Yuanji got up and put the letter on the table, "Next, what is Yuanji going to do?" ”
What's next? Miss Protection. What's next? Kill the people who endangered the young lady and the general. In the next step, in the next step, in the next step, Yuan Ji looked at Lu Bupin, and kept repeating in his heart.
Next, who am I going to kill?
Lu Bupin finally turned around and said, "Yanzhou Mujiang Zimo is in prison, this person can't die, be saved." The person who sent the letter is the key, but this person has been replaced by Pang Boyi and is an outcast. ”
"Na Tingwei......" Yuan Ji had a murderous look in his eyes.
"Can't be killed." Lu Bupin lit the lamp and candle on the table, "Now that you have entered the Kaiyuan Valley, you know that cultivators must not kill mortals indiscriminately, this is an iron rule. From now on, think for yourself, and the next step will be according to the letter. ”
He picked up the slightly crumpled piece of paper, and his eyes flickered, gradually understanding the next plan.
The letter contains a detailed record of a person's name, place of origin, family name, and important parts from birth to adulthood. And what Yuanji has to do is to let a person who refuses to admit himself admit himself.
He put a corner into the candle flame and lit it, and the letter gradually burned.
Yuanji stared at the letterhead that he had repeatedly read over the past four years, and replied coldly: "Yuanji, take the order." ”
The letter paper gradually turned yellow and black, and the last of the words as sharp as a sword remained on the pages covered in flames.
'Miss is fine, revenge in this life. ’
……
"The three court captains went south to Yanzhou this time, not to kill Jiang Zimo." Lu Bupin extinguished the candle, "Yanzhou has a lot of water all the year round, if it weren't for Jiang Zimo, Yanzhou would have become a country, and all the people here are grateful to him, he is a great talent, and he is also a thorn in the side of the great Sikong." However, I am old and rickety, and I don't know how long this Dingze real pine can stand proudly. ”
Yuan Ji raised his eyes and said, "Tingwei didn't come to Yanzhou with such fanfare to kill him, what was that for?" ”
"Yanzhou is the center of the Jiangnan area, where there are many mountains, and the front and back are by the big river, which can be described as Yanyu Jiangnan. Silk, tobacco, and tea are the main industries for the livelihood of the people here, but the frequent floods have caused prices to fall, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are poor. Lu Bupin sat down, "What do you think if a dock is built here for the trade of already cargo ships?" ”
Yuan Ji reacted like electricity, and immediately said: "Barren land, low prices, if foreign currency, then Yanzhou will inevitably become a rich land for shipping in Kyushu!" ”
"Yes, Emperor Jingcheng is extravagant, and although Pang Boyi is under Chongdu alone, he has no military power. And the Taiwei party has heavy troops, if Pang Boyi wants to compete with it, he can't just control a puppet emperor, he needs silver, and Yanzhou is undoubtedly a gold mountain for him. ”
Lu Bupin stroked the short beard and continued.
"The Jiang family is a prominent family in Yanzhou, if Pang Boyi takes down Jiang Zimo and builds a port in Yanzhou, then the balance of power in Chongdu will be completely broken, do you understand?"
Then this letter case is an opportunity for Pang Boyi. Jiang Zimo has no backers inside and outside, and he is bound to be powerless to resist. Yuan Ji saw that Lu Bupin raised his arms, so he got up and sat down, "But the whole of Yanzhou has a lot of trust in Jiang Zimo, and Pang Boyi is not good at using force, so he wants to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle and make Jiang Zimo surrender." ”
"If Jiang Zimo escapes from this incident safely, I will also have an explanation for the prince and the young lady." Lu Bupin saw that the young man had grown up now, and his expression was quite pleased, "Now the young lady is being hunted on the Kyushu wanted notice, you have grown up, and your appearance has changed a lot, and no one will track it down." Save Jiang Zimo, he is the key to your open-minded entry into Chongdu and track down the case of the prince's fornication! ”
Yuan Ji got up and saluted, and said solemnly, "Yuan Ji, understand. ”
Lu Bupin pressed his palm against the edge of the table and asked, "Yuanji, do you remember the sword, how to use it?" ”
"A sword seals the throat." Yuan Ji said in a condensed voice, "Blood does not leave a trace. ”
"Being in the center of power is like being in a rough wave." Lu Bupin poured the tea, and the teacup was raised to his lips, "You have to clench the sword in your hand and remember your identity." ”
You are a dead man.
This is a silent admonition, and it is also a fate that can never be escaped.
Yuan Ji stared at Lu Bupin, the coldness that had been hidden for four years poured out of his heart again, he clenched his fists, returned to his past indifference, and saluted respectfully.
Immediately he went out of the private room and went downstairs with Jiang Guo, the little second whispered a lot to Yuan Ji before leaving, and then bent down and bowed, his head almost touched Yuan Ji's abdomen, but at this moment, Yuan Ji suddenly had a note in his hand.
"The shopkeeper has commanded." Xiao Er smiled enthusiastically and pointed to the mansion at the end of the street, "Childe can find the person he is looking for when he goes there." ”
Jiang Guohu watched Xiao Er leave suspiciously, while Yuan Ji swept the note in his palm and put it into his sleeve after a while.
