Chapter 118: Exchanging Wine for Secrets
"Uncle's words are reasonable, reasonable!" Liu Xin said with a smile.
"You guys, you don't seem to be locals, what are you doing here?" Sang Yao was holding a crutch in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at a few people curiously.
"We're here to find someone. By the way, uncle, since you know so much about this lion dance competition, is there any special news about this year's lion dance competition? Liu Xin dealt with it simply, and then threw another question back.
Sang Yao stroked his thin beard and said:
"This is naturally there, this year's lion dance competition is amazing, the rivers and lakes, the sects, many masters have appeared.
But in the end, it still can't compare to our No. 1 sect in the South China Sea, Bifeng Mansion!
The leader, the list eye, and the tanhua are all the teams of Bifeng Mansion!
Moreover, in the team of Bifeng Mansion, there is no one who is more than thirty years old, which is really tight!
Of course, others are also powerful, but they are not as powerful as Bifeng Mansion.
In this Bifeng Mansion competition, there are some other things in the middle, which are also spread throughout the South China Sea and the surrounding areas. ”
When Sang Yao said this, he suddenly looked taboo and kept silent.
Liu Xin naturally wanted to do a good job of his own personality, and immediately asked curiously: "Uncle, what is the matter?" ”
Sang Yao looked left and right, and saw that no one paid attention to them, so he quietly approached Liu Xin's ear and said:
"This matter, a taboo, there are many people here, you can't say it, you can't say it!"
"Otherwise, I'll invite you to drink, let's find a secluded place and talk while drinking!" Liu Xin said along with the words of the mulberry kiln.
Sang Yao smiled and said, "The old man knows that after two streets, the wine of a Jin Meilin restaurant is very mellow!" ”
"Then we'll go there!" As soon as Liu Xin spoke, Sang Yao's eyes lit up, and a gleam appeared in his squinting eyes.
The lion dance in front is just a performance, and for Liu Xin and the others, it is enough to see it.
So Liu Xin turned his head to the others and said, "I hit it off with this old man, you guys will go to the inn first, and I'll have a good chat with the old man!" ”
Rokuro understood that his senior brother must have his reason, so he nodded in response.
Looking at the background of Liu Xin and the old man leaving, Dugu Yueyue's expression was a little solemn.
"Yueyue, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Dugu Yueyue's expression, Fan Sisi couldn't help asking.
"That old man is not simple!" Dugu Yueyue opened her mouth and explained: "In the face of an ordinary person, I can easily see through it, but this old man seems to be ordinary, his qi is also ordinary, his qi and blood are ordinary, everything is as usual, but I just can't see through him!" ”
Rokuro couldn't help but turn around when he heard this, but the old man had already disappeared into the crowd quickly under Liu Xin's way.
"Senior brother, you must have seen it too!"
"Senior Brother Liu is really powerful, this kind of perception is not possessed by ordinary low-grade Dacheng realms!"
"Yueyue, what you said pierced my heart!" Fan Sisi looked at Dugu Yueyue with resentment.
Dugu Yueyue actually stuck out her tongue innocently.
Jin Meilin Restaurant, private room
Liu Xin let the shopkeeper serve wine, this time is not a place to eat, to be able to come to such a guest, the shopkeeper is very eager.
But when Liu Xin proposed to order a few good dishes but was rejected by the old man who looked a little buried, the shopkeeper gave the old man a roll of his eyes at that time.
Leaving the private room, closing the door, and not forgetting to curse in a low voice.
But when the shopkeeper walked downstairs, he suddenly felt that his legs and feet were weak, and the whole person was about to go limp, and the shopkeeper subconsciously wanted to catch something, but found that the whole person was numb at this moment, and he could only watch himself roll down the stairs.
Listening to the movement outside, Liu Xin glanced at the other party meaningfully.
"Hehe, Xiaoyou is worthy of being a high-ranking disciple of the Holy Sect, it seems that he has already seen it."
"The sense of oppression given by the seniors is too great, and it is impossible for the kid not to feel it." Liu Xin didn't expect the other party to have a showdown directly.
But that's fine, he doesn't like it either.
"Since Xiaoyou already knows the old man's cultivation, then you may guess the old man's identity."
"The seniors know the identity of my Holy Sect disciple, and they actually have some relationship with my Holy Sect." Liu Xin said with some hesitation.
"Hahaha, the old man has nothing to do with your Holy Sect. It's just that a few of the old man's colleagues are familiar with you. ”
Liu Xin's face was surprised, as if he thought about it, and then asked, "Could it be Linghu Yu's senior!" ”
"Hey, I didn't expect you to guess so quickly.
That's right, the old man and the fox are indeed colleagues. Today, I also met with my friends here.
I'm just curious about how powerful the young guy that the fox admires, and when I saw him today, sure enough, his vision is still good. ”
"The seniors praised it falsely." Liu Xin was very modest.
"Today, if you want to invite me to drink, I will look at you again. Before this meal is finished, you may wish to ask me some questions, the old man also has some roots in the South China Sea, knows a lot of things, if you have any questions, maybe the old man can solve your doubts. ”
"Liu Xin thanked the seniors, and the juniors did have some doubts, and they still had trouble asking the seniors to give advice."
"Say it quickly, ask it quickly, the old man drinks very quickly."
"Then the junior will let the shopkeeper continue to send a few jars of wine."
"Hehehe, that's not always possible.
The old man's amount of alcohol is so much, and the shopkeeper may not be able to come up and deliver wine. ”
Mulberry kiln picked up a jar of wine on the table, and began to pour it.
The liquor did not overflow at all, but the speed was extremely fast, and before Liu Xin's first question was exported, a jar of wine was gone.
"Siha! This Jin Merrill Lynch's wine is just good, hahaha! ”
Mulberry kiln was about to reach out for the second altar again, but Liu Xin's first question came at this time.
"Seniors, can you tell the juniors in detail the real reason behind this lion dance competition?"
The wine jar where the mulberry kiln had just reached his mouth froze slightly, and then he gently put it down.
"Xiaoyou's question is very neat, it's rare for young people nowadays to have such a keen sense of smell."
Sang Yao thought about it, picked up the wine jar, and took a big sip before saying:
"The old man first answered the question you asked outside, this is called throwing bricks and attracting jade.
Bifeng Mansion this lion dance competition, is a case, I heard that it is a military household in a certain place, because of the competition, provoked Bifeng Mansion, but was killed by the people of Bifeng Mansion, more than 30 names, the culprit is still imprisoned in the army.
Gee. ”
Liu Xin nodded after listening, but was obviously not very interested in this.
So Sang Yao smiled, connected seamlessly, and continued:
"This year's lion dance competition, with such a huge reward, is not what a normal lion dance competition should have. The purpose of the people behind it may be to bring people together. ”
After saying this, the mulberry kiln began to pour violently again, but this time he did not drink it in one go, but after taking a big sip, he savored it in his mouth.
Liu Xin frowned and pondered, and soon looked up at Sang Yao and said:
"Senior, what do you mean is that the reason for holding this lion dance competition is to gather some people unknowingly, and it may be to discuss some shady things behind the scenes."
Sang Yao nodded with satisfaction and looked at Liu Xin.
"Xiaoyou's brain is really good. Since you are a disciple of the Holy Sect and a Jinyi guard of the imperial court, there will naturally be no shortage of information, and you should also know what the situation is in the entire South China Sea.
In fact, such a move cannot be concealed from those people. ”
As he spoke, Sang Yao raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
Liu Xin immediately understood who the other party was talking about.
"Then why would they do it?" Liu Xin was a little puzzled.
"These people in the south have a lot of twists and turns in their stomachs, and their style of doing things is also nine turns of the intestines.
The purpose of these people is nothing more than to disturb people and make it difficult to tell what they are trying to do. ”
Liu Xin thoughtfully continued Sang Yao's words: "Therefore, the southerners deliberately made such a big move just to attract the attention of some people. But such an obvious thing can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and they will consider whether the southerner wants to do something else behind his back.
But perhaps in the end, the Southerners did it on purpose, and the real purpose may have been hidden in the great upheaval, and those people were drawn elsewhere.
It is also possible that on the contrary, the southerners guessed that some people would guess this step, and the real purpose was still hidden elsewhere.
For the sake of one thing, countless layers are covered, and it is possible that the secret is hidden on the first layer, or it may be hidden in a corner.
It is even possible that there is nothing in the first place, just for the sake of temptation, or for another purpose. ”
Liu Xin finished saying everything in one breath, then took a long breath, looked at the mulberry kiln who drank a big sip of wine and said:
"What the predecessor said is really right, this southerner does have a lot of twists and turns in his stomach!"
Sang Yao finished drinking, tasted it for a while, shook his head in satisfaction, and then said: "That's right, but no matter how southerners twist and turn, they always have a purpose." It won't be without purpose. ”
Liu Xin nodded, this doubt is solved, and then the second question is coming.
"What the predecessor said before, Haikou, is it true!"
Mulberry kiln was about to drink, but was stopped by this question, he put down the wine jar again, his eyes were already full of appreciation:
"You kid really hit the nail on the head!
That's right, the matter of the Haikou is just a cover for the southerners, but it is true! ”
Liu Xin frowned slightly, and said, "What the predecessors mean is that Haikou is related to southerners!" ”
Sang Yao shook his head and denied it with a smile: "I didn't say that, it's all your own thoughts." ”
As he spoke, he tilted his head and took another long sip of wine, smiling contentedly again.
"Haikou, where are the locations that are often attacked?"
After being silent for a long time, Liu Xin suddenly asked.
Sang Yao's eyes showed doubt, this time he didn't expect Liu Xin's problem, so he looked a little surprised.
However, he still thought about it, and then said: "Zhejiang, there are many wharves and warehouses, and it is there that the pirates attack and loot the most." ”
Liu Xin nodded silently, having already made a note of this in his heart.
Haikou, it used to be the first goal in Liu Xin's heart, he became stronger and practiced hard, the purpose was for this group of people.
And now, although Liu Xin's goals have become more and more, Haikou still occupies the most central position.
"Senior, third question."
"Huh? I thought you kid was going to ask a little more about the Koukou. Sang Yao smiled.
Liu Xin was keenly aware that there were words in Sang Yao's words, and it seemed that there was a deeper secret hidden behind Haikou's affairs.
But it doesn't matter, that's a matter of the future, seeing that the second jar of wine is about to be gone, he only asked the shopkeeper to send four jars.
I don't know if I want this jar of wine in front of me, if I don't want it, then only the last jar will be left.
The shopkeeper fell down before a lot of movement, and it is estimated that it is impossible to send them any more wine, and even if it is sent to the mulberry kiln, it may not necessarily be drunk.
So we must speed up, and Haikou's affairs can be put aside for the time being.
"My predecessors have been operating in the South China Sea for many years, do you know the Jinyiwei here?"
As soon as Liu Xin spoke, Sang Yao frowned.
"It's official... The old man doesn't know much, it seems that Xiaoyou is ready to make some big moves. Sang Yao looked at Liu Xin, picked up the third jar of wine and drank it without hesitation.
Seeing this, Liu Xin immediately sped up his speech and said: "The juniors want to know the situation of Jinyiwei in Guangdong, Nanjiang and Fujian!" ”
Mulberry kiln put down the wine jar, burped, and a trace of blush appeared on his face.
"This, the old man will tell you in detail, the doorway inside, you can figure it out yourself!"
"Thank you, senior!"
"You're welcome, if you invite the old man to drink, the old man naturally wants to say something, this is all the right reason."
Sang Yao took another sip of wine, and then glanced at the empty table, Liu Xin immediately understood, got up to open the door, and shouted downstairs: "Xiao Er, order your store's signature dish!" ”
The next moment, a middle-aged voice downstairs shouted:
"Okay guest officer, come right away!"
Liu Xin returned to his seat and sat down, Sang Yao wiped the wine stains on his beard, coughed lightly and said:
"In the entire South China Sea, it is not surnamed Huang, but Huang, you should be clear about this."
Liu Xin nodded cooperatively.
Mulberry kiln continued:
"Huang Yinfang, the head of the Huang family, is the cousin of Emperor Kangyang, and he also has royal blood.
He used to be a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.
This person is very tight, when he was in the middle of the court, he was not visible, and it was only after Zhishi that everyone saw that this old boy was powerful.
He spent 30 years in the middle of the court, returned to his home for 10 years, and spent 40 years in this way, unknowingly, tying the entire southern scholar clan to the big ship of his Huang family.
At that time, Emperor Kangyang advocated force, and how many arrogant soldiers and fierce generals he had under him didn't care about Huang Yinfang and this group of southern literati at all.
For Emperor Kangyang, the south is a group of pen-trickers, and he plays with knives! ”
Liu Xin noticed that when Sang Yao said this, it was as if he had experienced it himself, and what he revealed was the posture and momentum that he had experienced.
Of course, this point, from the other party's attribute panel, Liu Xin has been confirmed.
With the age of Mulberry Kiln, the original imperial doctor in the imperial city was most likely in the period of Emperor Kangyang.
"Although the Nanhai Shi clan is a group of literati, Emperor Kangyang definitely underestimated them.
During the reign of Emperor Kangyang, Huang Yinfang was divided into peace, but as soon as Emperor Kangyang died of illness, Huang Yinfang revealed his true colors.
In the first year of Emperor Xuyang's ascension to the throne, Huang Yinfang joined forces with 127 surnames in the south to jointly write a letter, saying that there was a flood in the south, the disaster was serious, and there was no harvest!
And Emperor Xuyang sent three groups of inspectors one after another, and what they returned was true.
In fact, that year, the entire southern harvest was a bumper harvest that had not been seen in the past ten years!
Taking advantage of this matter, Huang Yinfang gave Emperor Xuyang a dismount, but Emperor Xuyang had no way to take him.
And in the meantime, the most important thing is that all the scholars in the South China Sea have been tied together by Huang Yinfang and have become a monolith! ”
Mulberry kiln went around and said so much, but he still didn't get to the point, but Liu Xin was not in a hurry, because he knew that the other party was paving the way.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper entered the private room with a dish.
"I'm sorry for the two guest officers, the second junior of our store accidentally fell and injured his leg, and now is not the time to be busy, the other miscellaneous servants have gone back to rest, so I can only wronged the two guest officers, and I will deliver the food."
"It's okay, it's okay, the shopkeeper has to be careful." Sang Yao smiled at the middle-aged man.
Jin Meilin's shopkeeper was full of smiles, and when he left, he said: "Two guest officers, today's wine and food, the small shop will give you a twenty-percent discount, eighty-fold!" ”
"Good, good!" Sang Yao smiled and waved his hand, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, and after a while, he looked up at Liu Xindao with some doubts:
"Xiaoyou, why don't you eat?"
Liu Xin shook his head and said, "The juniors don't dare!" ”
Sang Yao was stunned, and then laughed.
"Fun and fun!"
After eating a few more bites of food, Mulberry Kiln put down his chopsticks and took another big sip of wine, estimating that half of the third jar of wine had gone.
"Okay, let's move on."
"The younger generation listens to you."
"The subway board of the South China Sea, which naturally has a primary and secondary division, the Huang family is in Zhejiang has the power to stir up the storm, Guangdong, Southern Jiangxi and Fujian have their own clans.
Huang Yinfang's great thing is that he doesn't know how to use and interests to tie the three major families in these three places to the Huang family's warship.
Next is the point, there are some things that will not be written in the information of Jinyiwei and the Holy Sect! ”
Liu Xin nodded seriously.
"The Guangdong family, the Xu family.
Xu Zhaoao, the head of the Xu family, after the founding of the country, the Duke of Yueguo, the Zuozhu country!
In the whole world, the first-class grandfather of the country, even the Duke of Wu and the Duke of Qin are juniors in front of him.
But this one also seems to be attracted by Huang Yinfang's words, but neither Jinyiwei nor Dongchang dare to talk about the relationship between this and Huang Yinfang.
The Holy Sect's secret investigation team can't even find out this news at all. ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xin's expression had turned into shock.
In the entire South China Sea, the reason why the imperial court can still endure it, and Emperor Xuyang can still endure it, is because of the existence of this Yue Guogong.
After the founding of the country, his son Xu Zongrang was in charge of the post of commander of the Southern Army Governor's Office, one of the five military governors.
It can be said that whether the south is chaotic or not depends on the Xu family.
The imperial court has always believed that with the Xu family, the land of the South China Sea will not be chaotic for the time being.
The Xu family is equivalent to the last nail planted by the imperial court in the South China Sea.
But now Sang Yao actually said that the Xu family had colluded with the Huang family.
"How is this possible, after the founding of the country, it is impossible and there is no reason for the Xu family to do anything unfavorable to Zhengyang."
