Chapter 636: It's You
Jin Yiwei is taking the opportunity to show a girl's palmistry to touch other people's little hands.
In front of Chunyan Tower, it is definitely a good place to do fortune-telling business, these girls are both rich and free, and they are also superstitious.
The dark stake was feeling hard, spitting in the vernacular, and someone tapped him on the shoulder. Darkpile tilted his head impatiently and said.
"Queue up, can't you see that I'm counting for the girl here, you can wait a while......"
Before the words fell, the dark pile jumped up, shook off the girl's little hand, and grabbed the collar of the old way.
"You...... How dare you enter the capital! Come on, come on, I've caught the old way! Don't let him run! ”
A group of dark piles from all walks of life ran wildly, surrounded the old road, and caught the fugitives, which is meritorious, who doesn't compete for the lead?
Some of them grabbed his hand, some grabbed his foot, and some really had nowhere to grasp, and looked at the rest of the place with bad intentions.
"Let it go! What a system! You are so easy to expose, don't be an errand in the capital in the future, get out of the field for me! ”
Lu Yi's voice, everyone naturally knows it. No matter how bold they were, they didn't dare to take credit from Lu Yi, so they had to let go of their old ways stupidly.
Lu Yi waved his hand, and the brocade guards beside him tied Lao Dao's hands behind his back, and he also loosely tied them with a cow belt between his legs.
The length of this cow belt is very particular, not only to ensure that the old road can walk, without being carried by others, but also to ensure that the old road can not be torn apart and stride to perform light work.
Lao Dao followed Lu Yi into the edict in the shape of the Eight Gods Nunnery, and soon Lu Bing arrived when he heard the news, and looked at Lao Dao very unexpectedly.
"You're already gone, why are you coming back?"
Lao Dao arched his hand at Lu Yiyi: "Lord Lu, I naturally have something to say when I come back." But I won't say it to you, I'm going to say it to Banzai. ”
Lu Bing frowned: "Long live, how can you see people easily?" If you have anything to say, I will convey it to you. ”
Lao Dao shook his head: "I will only say these words to him alone, if you refuse, let people torture them."
I know that your edicts have always been so good that people can't even ask for death. But I've been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and I'm not in vain.
I may not be able to get out of prison alive, but if I want to die, I'm afraid no one can stop me.
You didn't get a word of confession, I died, and I was going to give an explanation to Banzai, do you think Banzai will be happy? ”
Lu Bing frowned, looking at Lao Dao, from Lao Dao's gaze, he could see that Lao Dao was definitely not scaring him.
Lu Bing nodded: "Okay, you wait, I'll ask Long live." Since you have thrown yourself into the net, just wait with peace of mind. ”
Lao Dao still shook his head: "I can't wait, I know that Xiao Feng is already on his way back." As soon as he returns, I'll be dead.
So if you want to hear the truth, you have to hurry. Otherwise, he would only have to listen to Xiao Feng's side of the story. ”
Lu Bing looked at the old way for a long time, and finally brushed his sleeves away. Only Lu Yi looked at Lao Dao uneasily, not knowing what Lao Dao was going to do.
After listening to Lu Bing's report, Jiajing closed his eyes and thought about it, and finally nodded.
"Let him come, I give him a chance, see what he can say, nothing more than deny everything."
When Lao Dao was brought to the West Garden, the interior of the fine house had already been arranged. Lu Bing and Lu Yi stood beside Jiajing on the left and on the right.
Lao Dao was tied tightly from arms to feet, and there were ten brocade guards around him.
Although everyone knows that Lao Dao is not excellent except for his light skills, his other kung fu is not outstanding, but after all, he is afraid of accidents.
No wonder everyone is worried, it's really too suspicious for the old way to throw himself into the net, and he insisted on seeing Jiajing, so he became even more suspicious, and he was very suspicious of assassination.
The old Taoist nodded at Jiajing with a calm face, did not salute, nor knelt, but no one asked him why he did not kneel.
It's not because of his status as a Taoist, it's just that he's tied like a stick. If this is still picky, it will be too inhumane.
"Long live, long live the white night of the poor road, long live the knock."
Jiajing frowned: "What, aren't you surnamed Xia?" ”
Lao Dao shook his head: "My surname is not Xia, my surname is Bai." ”
Jiajing sneered: "You mean, you are not Xia Yan's younger brother?" ”
Lao Dao shook his head: "No, I am Xia Yan's younger brother, but I don't have a surname Xia, my surname is Bai." ”
Jiajing was confused by the old way: "Could it be that you and Xia Yan are half-brothers?" ”
Lao Dao shook his head: "No, we have the same blood, no different. ”
Jiajing was furious, and he sank his face and said, "Mo Fei, are you entertaining me?" ”
Lao Dao was fearless: "Long live, there is something incomprehensible about the poor road, and I want to ask long live." Although I was the son of Xia Ding, I was expelled from the family tree by Xia Ding and did not recognize me as a son.
And my father-in-law, Bai Gan, adopted me as a son, whose son should I be, and what should I have my surname? ”
Jiajing understands that since ancient times, nurturing grace is more important than giving birth, since Lao Dao was expelled from the family tree by Xia Ding, it is natural to follow his father's surname.
Jiajing nodded slightly: "So, do you admit that you are the bloodline of the Xia family, and you are brothers with Xia Yan?" ”
Lao Dao nodded: "Long live, please call all the Jinyi guards in Jiangxi back, Poor Dao himself has admitted it, is it necessary to toss the Xia family?" ”
Jiajing snorted and nodded at Lu Bing, who gave up his hand. Indeed, as the old Tao said, he admitted it himself, and it doesn't matter what he says over there.
Jiajing sneered: "You are obviously from the Xia family, but they refuse to admit it, this is actually a crime of bullying the king, do you know?" ”
Lao Dao shook his head and said: "I was only a few years old when I was expelled by Xia Ding, and Xia Ding was an official everywhere, and I didn't stay in my hometown for a few days.
He thinks I'm ashamed again, and tries his best to hide the fact that there is still my son, others don't know, what's so strange?
Xia Yan has been the first assistant for so many years, and when he applied to leave the military household, the court checked his entire family, didn't he know me too?
When Xia Yan was convicted, long live your Long Yan was furious, and Jin Yiwei wiped out Xia Yan's whole family, didn't he know me too? ”
Jiajing glanced at Lu Bing speechlessly, Lu Bing bowed his head helplessly, and secretly scolded the old Taoist for lacking virtue in his heart, long live you, long live, what are you doing pulling Jinyiwei in a good manner?
Jiajing nodded: "Since you don't admit that you are the Xia family, why do you admit that you are Xia Yan's brother?" Don't you know the dangers? ”
Lao Dao raised his head and said proudly: "I don't recognize that I am from the Xia family, because the Xia family does not recognize that I am from the clan."
I admit that I am Xia Yan's brother because Xia Yan admits that I am his brother. Long live, people and people, this is to compare hearts with hearts, regardless of name.
Xia Yan treats me as a younger brother, so I naturally regard Xia Yan as a big brother; Xia Ding treats me as a passerby, and I naturally regard him as a passerby.
Don't you hear that the king regards his ministers as siblings; then the minister regards the king as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as Kou Yun? ”
Jiajing's heart was suddenly shocked, and he immediately understood the words of the old way, not only talking about himself and Xia Yan, but also hinting at him and Xiao Feng.
In the past, Jiajing has always treated Xiao Feng as a junior brother, and Xiao Feng has always respected him as a senior brother.
But now that he thinks that Xiao Feng deceived him, and is even suspected of rebellion, how will Xiao Feng treat him?
Jiajing took a deep breath: "Since you admit that you are the Xia family, then Xiaodong is naturally also the Xia family?" Is it Xia Yan's granddaughter? ”
Lao Dao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Xiaodong is not from the Xia family, she is just an ordinary child."
The child of the Xia family is really lost, and I don't know where to go, and I have been looking for it on the rivers and lakes for many years, but there is no news. ”
Jiajing was surprised, and looked at Lao Dao suspiciously, and Lao Dao shrugged his shoulders frankly, saying believe it or not.
It's not that he understands the body movements of Westerners very well, it's just that he is tied up too tightly and can't do other movements, so he has no teacher.
"You are so good to Xiaodong, saying that she is not the Xia family, I'm afraid it will be hard to believe."
Lao Dao said indifferently: "I am equally good to every child, if you don't believe it, you can go to the World View to inquire."
If I say that I am exceptionally good to Xiao Dong, it is also because Xiao Dong is too sensible. When the children were poor, they couldn't eat.
The other children were so hungry that they cried, Xiaodong was so little, and he knew how to help the old kidnappers coax the younger children and scold the older children who were coaxing.
When I was injured by the secret envoy and fell unconscious, the children in the audience were sad, but who could be more sad than Xiaodong?
Don't talk about me, it's Zhang Wuxin, it's just the master who taught Xiaodong martial arts, when Zhang Wuxin had an accident, I couldn't tell who was sadder between her and An Qingyue.
Who can not feel a little more distressed about a child like this? Long live you so many children, isn't it also the most painful Chang'an? ”
Jiajing felt that every word of Lao Dao today was speechless. If it had been in the past, he would have had the staff taken out a long time ago.
But today he also understands that since Lao Dao dares to come, he will not be afraid of death. He still has a lot of things to ask to understand, so he can only suppress his anger.
"Okay, even if Xiaodong is not the Xia family. But what is written in that poem, you and Xiao Feng colluded to bully the king, it is always a fact, right?
In order to save you and Xiaodong, in order to frame Yan Shifan, Xiao Feng teamed up with An Qingyue, Rouge Sisters, and Zeng Zaoban to bully the king, isn't it true? ”
Lao Dao laughed, the sound shook the house, and the laughter made Jiajing's face pale, and everyone in the room changed color with laughter.
Huang Jin and Lu Bing glanced at each other and secretly complained. Old Dao, we know that you are not afraid of death, but you don't need to take the initiative to seek death.
is full of ridicule in this smile at you, whether you are guilty or not, you will die in the end, why should you be so unsparing?
Jiajing's cultivation for many years was not in vain, and he was still able to calm down, until the old Taoist laughed and was almost out of breath, and then he said coldly.
"Why, the poem is clearly written, do you still want to deny it?"
Lao Dao finally couldn't laugh, but he still looked at Jiajing with mockery in his eyes.
"What is written in the poem, and you believe it? Long live, Xiao Feng usually tells me that you are smart and wise, why do I feel wrong? ”
Jiajing took a deep breath: "No one knows about these things. If Yan Allegiance is not resurrected from the underworld, how can he know? Why is it not credible? ”
Lao Dao said with a smile: "When Yan Shifan was alive, he once said this. At that time, everyone knew that he was a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry and making things up.
Why is it that now that his son is dead, Banzai thinks that those words are true? Just because Yan Xiaozhong was killed for two days before he was stabbed? ”
Jiajing's face became more and more ugly: "A person who has been dead for two days appears on the streets of the capital to spread a desperate poem to complain about grievances, isn't it credible?" ”
Lao Dao shook his head and said: "What's so difficult about this, it's just to kill him in advance, and then smuggle the body into the capital and stab him again."
Jin Yiwei just saw him standing and was stabbed, whether he was alive before the stab, who can know? Right, Lord Lu? ”
The corner of Jiajing's eyes swept to Lu Bing, and Lu Bing nodded honestly.
"Before he was stabbed with a sword, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but a brocade guard said that he had seen people in the same clothes on the street when he was patrolling the streets in the middle of the night."
Lao Dao laughed mockingly: "So as long as someone wears the clothes of strict loyalty, wanders around the street in the middle of the night, and is seen and scolded by the night patrol."
The next morning, the corpse was thrown into the street and stabbed with a sword, and the story of the great filial son who returned to the soul of the underworld was seamless, right? Is it true that people are so easy to deceive now? ”
Jiajing was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Even if Yan Xiaozhong's corpse can be faked, Yan Shifan has also made speculations about your stealing beams and changing pillars.
But how secret is the fact that you are a member of the Xia family? Can anyone make that up? As you yourself have said, almost no one knows about it.
Your people don't know, my Jinyi Guard doesn't know, can Yan Xiaozhong know? Or can the people who brought Yan Xiaozhong's body into the capital know? ”
This problem is the death hole of the whole thing, and it is also the most difficult point to explain in everyone's hearts, and Jiajing is confident that the old way cannot explain it.
But Lao Dao seemed to have known Jiajing's question for a long time, he sighed lightly and shrugged his shoulders again.
"Yes, almost no one knows about it, but there is one person who does."
Jiajing suddenly became energetic, and said in his heart that if you say this, then I won't be sleepy, and in my conscience, I don't want this to be the ghost of Hades.
"Who? Who knows about this? ”
Lao Dao's hand could not be raised to point to his nose, so he had to point his fingers up and then hook his head down, trying to make his fingertips and nose face each other.
"Me. I know about it. ”
Jiajing was furious: "Bastard, bold! How dare you amuse! You're not talking nonsense......"
Jiajing stopped suddenly, he stared at Lao Dao, his eyes were full of incredulity, he understood what Lao Dao meant.
"You mean, you wrote that poem?"
Lao Dao nodded: "Yes, not only did I write that poem, but Yan Xiaozhong was also killed by me."
Hooray, think about it, who has the ability to carry Yan Xiaozhong's corpse into the city silently except me? ”
Jiajing and his friends were stunned. They had speculated a lot, and they had seriously considered that although this matter seemed to be supernatural, it was more likely that someone was pretending to be a ghost.
But they just guessed their heads, and no one had ever guessed that this matter was the old way.
The reason is very simple, this is a poisonous plan that will kill Xiao Feng, kill Xiao Dong, kill An Qingyue, kill Zhang Wuxin, and kill Zhan Feiyun, why did Lao Dao do this?
And the most nonsense thing is that the person who killed most directly in this matter is not someone else, or Lao Dao himself, and everyone else is going to die, and he has to die in front.
No matter how much a person is not afraid of death, he should not be afraid to the extent that he actively wants to die.
And even if a person really wants to die, he shouldn't pull so many good friends on his back, is he crazy?
Lu Bing was the first to object: "This is impossible, even if your light skills are extremely high, you can carry Yan Xiaozhong's corpse into the city."
But Yan Allegiance did die under the Wudang swordsmanship! Zhang Wuxin has confirmed this! ”
Lao Dao sneered: "Xiao Dong is Zhang Wuxin's proud disciple, and Zhang Wuxin almost taught Xiao Dong kung fu hand-in-hand in the concept of joining the WTO.
Although the martial arts of the poor road are not good, it is not too difficult to learn two tricks if you have the intention. Besides, I didn't kill people with that skill.
I'm just stabbing a sword in a corpse that can't be dodged, what's the difficulty? I'm not stupid enough to be that stupid. ”
Lu Bing frowned and said, "Even if Yan Xiaozhong's corpse can't dodge, the Jinyi guard who was stabbed to death is a living person."
He was also stabbed to death with a sword, how can this be explained, when did your kung fu become so powerful? ”
Lao Dao said with a smile: "This matter is indeed interesting to say, that Jinyi Wei seems to have some friendship with Zhang Wuxin."
It was dark, and he believed that I was Zhang Wuxin with only his clothes. So he didn't expect me to do anything to him.
He thought that Zhang Wuxin was arresting the prisoner and wanted to come forward to help. You didn't see the look on his face when he was stabbed to death by my sword, how surprised he was. ”
Lu Bing said in a deep voice: "So, the person who shouted on the roof of Anfu and led Zhang Wuxin to the main street is also you?" ”
Lao Dao nodded and smiled: "Not bad." Is there anyone else who can have this light skill but me? I didn't want to kill Jinyiwei.
I just arranged Yan Xiaozhong's corpse, and I wanted to go to Zhang Wuxin, but I ran into the brocade guard, and I was afraid that he would lose time, so I killed him.
Then after I went to Anfu to shout, I watched Zhang Wuxin go up to the main street, and I knew that there was nothing to do with me below, and you would naturally be in chaos.
I sneaked out of the city and ran back to the World Observatory, pretending that nothing had happened.
Until the old man came back from grocery shopping and told me...... Well, it's in town. I pretended to panic and let Xiaodong escape and hide myself. ”
Jiajing suddenly said: "Even if you make sense before, the last two sentences in the poem: If the sky pities me and I am loyal to the monarch, the spirit shows the immortal word stone and looks for it."
What is inside the Immortal Stone? Do you know? If you don't know, everything you said is nonsense! ”
Lao Dao laughed: "That's what I put it, what do I not know?" Isn't it just a saury with a white silk in its belly?
Do you really think it was written by Xu Fu? Let me tell you, that's the words I asked Yan Xiaozhong to write!
I heard Xiao Feng tell me about the legend of the fairy word stone, so I asked Yan Xiaozhong a long time ago, asked him to write, prepare the fish, and throw it into the hole.
After the fairy word stone was put into your house, no one could get close, and the fish was naturally put in by me in advance when the stone was still in the world.
Yan Allegiance has been waiting for my summons, and to be honest, I am worried that the fish will die, and I am also worried that Yan Allegiance will not live to this day.
Fortunately, God has eyes, the fairy word stone is really magical, and the fish has not died after so long. And Yan Allegiance is also considered to be competitive, and he has been living until now! ”
Lu Bing swallowed the words that came to his mouth again. Originally, Lu Bing thought that Lao Dao would say that the words on the cloth were written by himself, so he would ask Lao Dao to write it on the spot and compare the handwriting.
But the old Taoist said that the word was written by Yan Xiaozhong, and there is no proof of it. He can't pick up Yan Xiaozhong and write a few words.
Jiajing has never stammered in his life, but at this time he involuntarily stammered.
"You talk nonsense...... What are you...... How can it be...... Are you crazy? What are you doing here? ”
"I didn't shout some reminders and votes yesterday, and the data is not as good as a few days ago, it seems that I have to shout every day, and if you don't shout, you can't get excited!"
