There is a devil in everyone's heart, and the chains that lock this devil are called morality and ethics, and the things that can break the chains are anger, hatred, injustice, and so on
Geng Zhongqiu's martial arts were already higher than Xiao Yajian's, and it was easy to kill him. But in the end, he didn't kill him, but broke his tendons and tendons, broke his dantian qi sea, and castrated his lower body. Oh, by the way, Jiang Xia also cut his throat with it.
What does it mean to be unable to survive and not to die? Now Xiao Yajian can't even commit suicide.
And when Jiang Xia and Geng Zhongqiu left, Jiang Xia also specially gave a lot of silver to the chief prisoner of the prison. He has only one request: "Try to let Xiao Yajian live a long life." ”
Killing people is not too much, but in the end, Geng Zhongqiu chose to let Xiao Yajian live in pain. Such an act is more uncomfortable than killing a person a hundred times.
As he left the prison, Xiao Yajian's whining voice contained endless pain and fear. Geng Zhongqiu let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that he seemed to be much more relaxed.
Unleashed the devil in my heart, and the whole person has no attachment, this feeling may be really good.
Out of the prison, Geng Zhongqiu suddenly knelt in front of Jiang Xia. Before Jiang Xia Fang Ying came over, Geng Zhongqiu had already kowtowed three times, and Geng Zhongqiu said: "Master, I Geng Zhongqiu swears that I will be loyal to you in this life and this life." Whether it is on the knife mountain or under the oil pot, as long as you tell me, Geng Zhongqiu, if you frown, you will be in vain. ”
Jiang Xia stretched out his hand to help Geng Zhongqiu up, patted Geng Zhongqiu's shoulder and said, "If you really treat each other as your own, then everything you should do for each other, no need to thank you, let alone go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot and the like." ”
"Head" Geng Zhongqiu shouted a little excitedly.
Jiang Xia patted Geng Zhongqiu's shoulder again, then pointed to the carriage driven by Han Mufeng and said, "How is it?" are you going to have a meal at my Xiaoyao Villa or go back to Qianmen to get together with your brothers first?"
"I'll go back to Qianmen first, so I won't bother the master. ”
"If you have anything to bother with, if you are interested, you can come to Xiaoyao Villa to find me at any time. ”
After speaking, Jiang Xia and Geng Zhongqiu said goodbye, and then got into the carriage.
After returning to Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xia was originally going to take Cui Niannu and Cui Rushuang to play a self-service barbecue together, but as soon as the things were ready, Zhong Bin came.
Originally, Jiang Xia was about to beckon Zhong Bin to come and bake things together, but Zhong Bin shook his head and said to Jiang Xia in a low voice: "He left and left Jingshi." ”
Jiang Xia nodded, indicating that he knew. The person Zhong Bin said was Zhu Chenhao.
"Just let him go?" Zhong Bin was a little unwilling.
Jiang Xia patted Zhong Bin on the shoulder, got up and walked back to the room.
Zhong Bin followed Jiang Xia into the room together, and in the study of the Four Seasons Residence, Jiang Xia opened a wooden box first, which was full of treasure money.
Zhong Bin was slightly stunned, Jiang Xia pointed to the treasure money and said, "Half of this is yours, take it yourself in a while." ”
Zhong Bin glanced at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia said with a smile: "Zhu Chenhao gave it." ”
Zhong Bin nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "That's it?"
He knew Jiang Xia very well, and knew that it was impossible for Jiang Xia to be counted like this with such a little silver, and he Jiang Xia was not a person who lacked silver.
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said: "I promised him not to poke his affairs to the second child, you also know that I am an honest and trustworthy person." ”
"Skip the crap. Zhong Bin said lightly.
"It's not okay to rely on you like this, how can Miss Yin live with you with a dead face all day long. Let me teach you"
"I'm leaving. Zhong Bin turned around and prepared to leave.
Jiang Xia hurriedly grabbed him, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhong Bin and said, "Send someone to send this letter to King Huai of Raozhou Mansion, and tell him the whole story." ”
Zhong Bin looked at Jiang Xia for a moment, then took out the letter and looked at it. That letter was a letter written by King Huai to Jiang Xia that Zhu Chenhao had forged, and Jiang Xia specially took it from Zhu Houzhao. Send this letter to King Huai, and then tell him what happened, I'm afraid that King Huai will never die with Zhu Chenhao for the rest of his life.
Zhong Bin silently put the letter into his arms, turned around and prepared to go out. When he walked to the door, Zhong Bin suddenly turned his head and asked Jiang Xia, "Does it really make people feel bad to get along with me like this?"
Jiang Xia was stunned for nearly five seconds, and suddenly he burst out into a wild laugh, as if he was about to tear off the roof.
Zhong Bin's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and the long sword in his hand was slightly unsheathed.
Jiang Xia hugged his stomach and laughed on the ground, he said intermittently: "I didn't expect that the dead face Zhong Bin would also be afraid that he would not get along"
Zhong Bin looked at Jiang Xia with a murderous look, but Jiang Xia still couldn't help laughing there, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I promise not to laugh at you for the rest of my life, I swear"
Zhong Bin took a deep breath and turned to walk out of the study
For the next nearly a month, Jiang Xia was also idle. The Yamen of the Imperial Entertainment Division has been officially completed and put into use, the basic personnel team has also been set up, everyone has begun to perform their duties, and the Imperial Entertainment Division has officially begun to operate.
Originally, after the establishment of the Royal Entertainment Division, the first big drama should be staged first, "Liang Zhu". But because Mr. Zhu Houzhao, the actor of this play, is a little busy on weekdays, the progress of the rehearsal has not been able to keep up, and it has been delayed again and again, and the rehearsal has not been perfect for a month.
In desperation, Jiang Xia had no choice but to give Yun Yunyu, Xue Yi and Lan Huixin a concert first. Now the three have become one of the undisputed female stars in Beijing.
Among the original four Oiran, Yun Yunyu and Lan Huixin have already excelled, Shangguan Ziyue left the Teaching Workshop Division to serve Jiangxia with peace of mind, but only Liu Yiren has not officially debuted.
Another strange thing about Jiang Xia is that Liu Yiren actually invited Liu Jin to intercede for her, and finally Jiang Xia handed over Zhu Yingtai, the heroine of "Liang Zhu", to Liu Yiren to play.
Except for the drama "Liang Zhu", which was slightly delayed, the rest of the affairs were carried out smoothly. "Daming Daily", a newspaper published by the Imperial Entertainment Division, is printed three times a week, and now it has swept the entire Beijing Division, and is gradually expanding to the outer city of the Beijing Division.
The newspaper was divided into several sections by Jiangxia, which were roughly current affairs news, celebrity gossip, and advertisements.
In this era of lack of entertainment, the newspaper was loved by all the people as soon as it came out. Read the newspaper every day, and then ask friends out for tea and talk about the content of the newspaper. This is basically one of the current phenomena that has become the master of the Ming Dynasty.
It makes sense for Zhu Houzhao to delay the performance of "Liang Zhu", because he has been doing two major things recently, and they have basically been completed.
First of all, the first thing is about Jiangxia's "royal dragon detective", this matter Zhu Houzhao discussed with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and finally decided on it.
The royal dragon detective is a yamen with no rank, and the basic salary is relatively low, even Jiangxia, the "dragon head", is only fifty taels of silver a month.
However, the royal dragon detective is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and the dragon head Jiangxia has the convenience of free access to the palace. And if the evidence is conclusive, the royal dragon detective can arrest the officials below the third grade first, and then report to the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple for conviction.
In these two ways, it has basically been determined that the royal dragon detective is an institution that is not inferior to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but the scale is not as big as the two.
After determining the matter of the royal dragon detective, the next qiē preparations are very simple. Planning the yamen, customizing exclusive clothing, ordering a unified nameplate by the Ministry of Rites, and creating a unified standard weapon for the royal dragon scout according to the requirements.
With this qiē, Jiangxia is equivalent to having its own first force.
This second event is the "Pilgrimage of All Nations" after the winter solstice.
In Jiang Xia's opinion, this was completely a boring, boring, and even somewhat brainless move.
To put it simply, this Wanguo Dynasty Meeting is actually Zhu Houzhao saw that his treasury has been very full recently, and the Ming Dynasty has not had any natural disasters recently**, so he decided to invite people from neighboring countries to visit his Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it is to show off the strength of his Ming Dynasty and satisfy his vanity.
It is said that it is a meeting of all nations, but in fact, it is just a dozen small neighboring countries coming. As the host, the Ming Dynasty not only had to pay for the return trip and accommodation, but also had to reward a large number of gold, silver and jewelry when the people left, so as to demonstrate the generosity and strength of the kingdom of the Great Tomorrow.
And people, at most, just offer a little souvenir.
Although Jiang Xia felt that this matter was a bit boring, Zhu Houzhao was very concerned about this matter, and specially arranged for Liu Jin to lead the matter, explaining that he must handle this matter well.
In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice arrived.
According to custom, Jiang Xia ate the wontons made by Cui Niannu, Cui Rushuang and Shangguan Ziyue at home that morning, and then he went out to the Imperial Entertainment Division.
After hard work, Zhu Houzhao finally barely passed Jiangxia's rehearsal, and today is the first makeup rehearsal in the Grand Theater of the Imperial Entertainment Division.
During the rehearsal, Jiang Xia announced that he would start selling tickets.
In Beijing, Jiangxia's drama is a golden signboard, and this "Liang Zhu", which took a long time, has been expected by the people of Beijing for a long time, so the tickets just began to be announced for sale, which caused the entire Beijing people to rush wildly.
On the morning of Liang Zhu's official performance, Jiang Xia got up early and went to the Imperial Entertainment Division to watch Liang Zhu's rehearsal again.
In this scene, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Yiren had a lot of rivalry, I don't know why, Jiang Xia always felt that Zhu Hou's eyes were a little strange when he looked at Liu Yiren.
At noon, it suddenly snowed.
It began to snow just after the winter solstice, which was basically unthinkable in Beijing in later generations.
Jiang Xia stood at the door of the Imperial Entertainment Division's yamen and stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes, and suddenly he heard the sound of gongs and drums.
After listening attentively, Jiang Xia heard that it was the envoy of Annan who came, and it seemed that a big man had come when he heard the voice.
Princess of Annanguo?
ps: Thank you to every comrade who voted for the tiger monthly ticket, the number is a bit too much, I won't type the names one by one, in short, thank you
