Chapter 8: Ambiguity
Chen Qiusheng put the teapot aside, he wiped the case with a coarse cloth, and said flatly, "It's all good."
"Yes, yes. The two of them are not ashamed." Qi Zhou Zhenren glared at the two of them angrily, "What kind of style do two big men have become like this? This is not Fireworks Alley, you two convergence point, Lao Tzu has goosebumps." z.br>
Gu Yaozhi and Chen Qiusheng turned to Qi Zhou Zhenren in unison, they first glanced at each other, and then they both lowered their heads and chuckled.
Chen Qiusheng respectfully apologized and said, "Master Qi Zhou, forgive me, this is my classmate when I was studying in Chongdu, Gu Yaozhi."
Gu Yaozhi also bowed, bowed his head and said, "Senior Gu Yaozhi, I bothered the master, please also invite Haihan."
The more Qi Zhou Zhenren listened, the more wrong he became, and immediately jumped off the bamboo chair and walked quickly to the courtyard, then picked up the bamboo strips and said, "It's not as interesting as Lao Tzu's stupid apprentice, you talk about yours, Lao Tzu is still working."
The two of them laughed together, and then Chen Qiusheng released Bupa and said, "Are you ready to come to Yanzhou this time?"
"To tell you the truth, I visited local tea farmers and farmers in Yanzhou along the way, and many of them can be regarded as knowledgeable." Gu Yaozhi took a sip of tea, "The strategy of changing tea to rice can still be followed."
Chen Qiusheng folded his hands on his knees and said calmly, "It seems that you have a plan in your heart, and you are afraid that you will even ask clearly what I have done in Yanzhou along the way."
"I know you can't return to the capital now, but the Chen clan has you on the back of Qingshan." Gu Yaozhi sat very straight, "But if you are here, in the prison, there will be no day when Chen Jinqiu will come out."
"He who knows me knows me more than he knows from afar." Chen Qiusheng pressed his thigh and chuckled, "My second brother is now dead, and the third brother has not succeeded. Zheng Guo's law can't be just me, I'm just one person—"
"And not everyone." Gu Yaozhi seemed to know his next sentence, "I heard about Pinggang's incident on the road, and I was deeply surprised."
Chen Qiusheng sighed helplessly and said, "Forced by Pang Boyi*** and Jiang Baichuan to conspire, he is to blame."
"Is that credible? Do you believe it?" Gu Yaozhi leaned back slightly, "I don't believe it."
Chen Qiusheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "What do you mean?"
"Hiraoka has a heroic temperament, and if he says it, maybe Pang Boyi has pinched his temperament. But Jiang Baichuan would agree to conspire with him in Yanzhou. I will not believe it." Gu Yaozhi unloaded his bag, "Jiang Zimo is my mentor, I have been in Yanzhou for a long time, and you must know this experience."
Chen Qiusheng drank all the tea, he held the teacup and said, "Yes."
"Jiang Baichuan is a few years younger than me, but I don't know who he is." Gu Yaozhi took out half a wheat cake from the package and ate it, "He is a smart person, if he wants to take over from his mentor in Yanzhou, he is indeed the best candidate." He chewed on the bread and said, "But the teacher was escorted into the capital, and he didn't do anything. On the contrary, after the accident in Hiraoka, the person disappeared. It's so strange and sobering."
"It's really strange, the people of Yanzhou love the Jiang family, if he says that he wants to murder Jiang Zimo, there is no evidence to say it, even if it is a grandiose replacement, it is well deserved." Chen Qiusheng put down the teacup and put his hands back on his thighs, "But after the accident in Pinggang, it is said that he went to the forbidden army in the west of the city to join the army and became a soldier. Now it's far away from the Red Pass."
Gu Yaozhi chewed slowly, swallowed it, and said, "In this way, I guess, he is paving the way for me."
Chen Qiusheng asked hesitantly, "For you?"
"Not bad." Gu Yaozhi took another bite of the cake, chewed it and said, "He is the eldest son of the Jiang family, but Jiang Zimo will be escorted into the capital after the incident. The law speaks, and whoever violates the law will be guilty of one sin from above. Officials committed crimes, hereditary lords were stripped of their fame, and Jiang Baichuan could not take over as state pastor. If he stays in Yanzhou, the people of Yanzhou will definitely support him as a state pastor, but it just so happens that you will stay in Yanzhou as a hostage."
Chen Qiusheng sorted out his thoughts, slowly bowed his head and said, "I am Ting Weizheng, if he openly and secretly exercises the power of the state pastor in the name of the family, I must arrest him."
"So, hiccup~" Gu Yaozhi hiccuped, he patted his chest and took the tea cup handed over, "Hiraoka found him, and he made a gesture to show you and Pang Boyi. Whether you agree or not, Pang Boyi is convenient
Will be lax on him. Again, the fame has spread. The people knew that he was a drunken prodigal son, and if he was suspected of murder, the people would look down on him even more. In this way, Jiang's reputation in Yanzhou plummeted, and he was not right."
Chen Qiusheng pondered and said, "With this move, the people will not be violent and chaotic because the Jiang family can no longer serve as the state minister. He abandoned Jiang's reputation and fame here. But what did he join the army for?"
"Naturally, leaving Yanzhou is also paving the way for me." Gu Yaozhi patted his chest and swallowed the food, "You can't be the state pastor of Yanzhou, but Jiang Baichuan knows that you and I are classmates. When I followed my mentor, I learned all I learned about how to control water and help the people. He must know that if you want to control the water in Yanzhou, you have to borrow someone else's hand. Except for the Jiang family, no one in Yanzhou recognizes anyone in this world, but I, Jiang Zimo's protégé, can be regarded as a person of good faith. He is relieved that I am the state pastor, and with a righteous and strict living Yama like you, there must be a plan to change tea to rice, which can also convince the people. He takes this step back, and it is you and me who will fulfill it."
Chen Qiusheng raised his eyebrows, and he asked in disbelief, "But how did he know that Pang Boyi would recommend you to be the state pastor?" His Majesty's decree was also received only after I arrived in Yanzhou. Except for me, neither Hiraoka nor Jin Qiu knows. Don't...... Does he have the ability to peer into the heavens?"
"That's why I say he's a wise man here, and he's not seen it." Gu Yaozhi smiled freely, "He just thought of it before Pang Boyi. The position of Yanzhou pastor is not decided by His Majesty, nor by Pang Boyi, if you want to take Yanzhou into the pocket without the people changing, I am the only candidate to remove the Jiang family. In addition, I come from a humble family, and my position is no more than Dazai, so as long as I promise heavy profits, I can play with applause."
Chen Qiusheng gasped and said with a shocked expression: "If everything is as you guessed, if such an extraordinary person is the pastor of Yanzhou, it is really Zheng Guo's luck. But what did he do so hard to ruin the Jiang family's reputation?"
"Save his father." Gu Yaozhi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and he said with emotion, "The teacher is involved in the fornication case, as long as Jiang Baichuan is in Yanzhou for a day, the people of the 14 counties will be concerned about the Jiang family, and someone must be the leader of the violence and chaos. That's why he went to Manhong Pass to join the army."
Chen Qiusheng's heart was shocked, and he said in deep contemplation.
"Jiang Baichuan, you can afford to put it down, and you are worthy of the name of the prodigal son."
After the early morning drill, the soldiers returned to the shop to rest, and Jiang Baichuan strode into the house. The straps on his armor were tightly fastened, and he couldn't reach his aching arm when a thick fat hand suddenly came up.
Jiang Baichuan turned his head to look at it, and immediately shouted with a smile, "The sea."
"I'll help you out, you don't move. Come, sit on the couch." The sea pulled him to sit on the bunk, and then moved his fat waist, "Why do you have to work so today's drill? It's all a set job, and what you practice is harder than others is not necessarily better than others." When the sea untied the tie, he said bitterly, "The bones of your body are your own, look at your skin and flesh, the skin is all rolled up."
"You just peeled it for me." Jiang Baichuan sneered indifferently, he turned his head to look around at the recruits and quipped, "Take them to make spring rolls and give my brothers a taste of my son-in-law."
When all the recruits from all over the world heard this, they threw bracers and boots at him and laughed and scolded, "you."
"And the strength to be reckless, you're really good." The sea was a little hard, and when the armor fell off, Jiang Baichuan screamed in pain, and the sea asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Baichuan squeezed and laughed miserably, "I used too much force in the morning, and I stretched it."
"Cry when it hurts, it's all your own brothers." The sea lightly removed the shoulder pads, "What's so embarrassing? Ah, your skin is broken, and you still say it doesn't hurt?"
The sea tugged at the hem of his coat to reveal his sunburned shoulders, and a large piece of his epidermis had peeled off, glowing with red blood.
"Xiao Chuanzi rushed to the black instructor in the morning, and he was stunned that he could still practice." A soldier put his armor on a wooden stake, and he smiled at Jiang Baichuan, "This kid has been lying down, and he doesn't look at the physique of the black instructor, as his name suggests, he is a big bear. You say, 'Don't you?'"
The recruits laughed and chimed in.
"Alright, don't practice tonight, say hello to the centurion, and come to my kitchen." Dahai took out a jar from his bosom and took some black mud from it and smeared it on his wound, "Don't make trouble, open a small stove for you at night, and eat some good supplements."
"It's still our brother Hai who feels sorry for people, and raises our Xiaochuanzi like a little lady." The soldier whistled teasingly, "I said Brother Hai, you can't just open a small stove for him, the brothers are all worried about your unique skills."
Jiang Baichuan smiled and threw the bracer over: "Hey, I'm not a servant in the palace, I have a handful underneath." You are shouting, I will sleep with you at night, and let you see and see!"
The soldier smiled bitterly and lay down on the bunk, and said fearfully, "Don't mind, we can't do this."
Dahai Han smiled and waved his hand: "Yes, yes, the newly slaughtered pigs, the meat is all burned to the taste." I'll leave you a big pot for the evening."
Just as everyone was shouting enthusiastically, the curtain was lifted. The dust wind rolled in with the sand, and the black bear, dressed in armor, stood with his back to the door with a leather whip in his hand.
When everyone saw that it was a black bear, they all stood up in unison.
The black bear looked around left and right, his eyes seemed to be staring at Jiang Baichuan, and said, "Jiang Baichuan."
Jiang Baichuan immediately raised his neck and shouted, "Here!"
"What? Isn't it quite kind on the school field? Is this a plaster or a plaster?" The black bear glanced at the wound on his shoulder, "I advise you to sign and leave as soon as possible, there are a group of veterans who are going to retire today, I may be able to find a vacant seat for you, and you can leave with you."
The black bear walked in front of Jiang Baichuan as he spoke, he was tall, looking down at Jiang Baichuan, and there was a persecution chill in his eyes.
"What the instructor said is that they are all minor injuries." Jiang Baichuan wiped the ointment of the wound clean, "It's okay."
He applied it with great force, and the ointment was torn off with even the broken skin, and blood oozed from it.
