Chapter Twenty-Six: Tracing Clues
Because he was in the Middle Tang Dynasty, and he had a very clear festival with the local Snake Wude Academy, and of course, he also had a very clear festival with the military in the Middle Tang Dynasty, so Lin Fengjin didn't dare to be too big, and muttered with the old man for a while, so he decided to take the Taoist priest and two or three of his men to Xijing, and the old man took the caravan to go first.
In case something happens, it is convenient for you to run away, and you don't want to be boiled in a pot.
After getting this place in order, Lin Fengjin went to Xijing, which is a distance of two hundred and thirty or forty miles, and it is only two days to travel day and night by boat.
The first impression of coming to Xijing gives people the feeling that the first is strict and neat, and the second is precision.
At this time, the capital of the three kingdoms, Lin Fengjin of the two countries has experienced it, and the feeling of Yedu has the atmosphere of the north, but it is a lost pattern, and it is a little chaotic.
And Xiangdu's cream is prosperous, and it is splendid all night, which is enough to make people drunk with paper and gold, drowning in it, unable to extricate themselves, but there is a kind of rich and dreamy bubble.
In comparison, the layout of Xijing is precise, strict, and the streets are straight, as if they are all built in a standardized manner, even if it is a city gate guard, it is also a board and a glance, meticulous, and each area is divided very neatly, even the soldiers on patrol seem to only step on their own sidelines, and will definitely not take one more step!
Seeing this scene, Lin Fengjin realized that the position of the four wars in the Tang Dynasty could be so strong that the basic national policy was to expand rather than defend. With the covert support of Wude Academy, you can win the heavens, and you can win people with your own strict rules and disciplines to restrain the inside. The remaining geographical advantage alone can no longer determine the outcome of the battle.
So Lin Fengjin stayed in the inn honestly, and what he usually did was also done by the son of a businessman, shopping around the market and inquiring about prices. Find out what goods are currently selling well and what goods are a bit sluggish.
What should have been done Lin Fengjin had actually done it a long time ago, and it had been more than half a year for him to get the information from the group of people on the grassland, how could Lin Fengjin not do anything in the more than half a year?
Among the vast collection of books in Donglin Academy, even more than half of them are books from the time of David in the previous dynasty. In these books, Lin Fengjin didn't have time to go to Hao's head to the poor scriptures, but inquired, and it took a lot of water grinding effort, and as a result, he invited a few senior brothers and sisters who were quite accomplished in this area to go to the first roast corruption in the world. The reason for finding it is also good, saying that I recently read a book on feng shui, and I want to study the feng shui pattern of the palace in the previous dynasty.
Among these senior brothers and sisters, among the senior sisters and sisters, there was also Fu Min'er in it, at that time, he was full of wine, and many people listened to Lin Fengjin's confusion, so they naturally agreed, only Fu Min'er kept pursing her lips and smiling smartly. just refused to nod, Lin Fengjin signed a few more treaties that humiliated the country, and finally got her hands.
The next day, Lin Fengjin also sent a housekeeper to come up with the means to hand over Sima Fang. Each person was given a set of standard versions of the four treasures of the study: lake pen (six branches), Hui ink (twelve), rice paper (twenty-four catties), and Duan Yan (one side). This ancient version of the Apple Trio is excellent for socializing, and no one doesn't like it. And they all come in handy, it can be said that there is both face and lining.
Since Lin Fengjin has made a lot of money, his classmates are powerful people in the family. So at this time, it is not a problem to get the map of the palace of the former Sandu, and it is all very clear in his mind. It's just that some of the place names are indeed lost and can't be found.
At this time, the thing is not human, and the end is the carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed. Even Zhongdu has become Xijing, and there must be a big change in the names of places in various parts of the palace, but since this palace has not been rebuilt, that is, it has been renovated on the foundation, then the pattern is still the same, so the name in the palace or what is repeated, there will not be too much difference, just like how the Huanyi Prison has changed, it is impossible to call it Qianqing Palace, and it is a reason that Huarenfang can no longer be called Chuxiu Palace.
However, despite having said that, after Lin Fengjin got the map, he studied the map for a long time, even with his clear mind and water grinding methods, he didn't find any clues, but the name in the Xijing Palace can be hung in the ditch with the place where the half of the words are touched.
On weekdays, Lin Fengjin seems to be a good friend, but he can't help but be a little anxious in his heart, and he just went back to the inn today, and he bumped into the familiar companion head-on, with a smile on his face:
"Congratulations, the palace has spoken, let Wu Zhizhao's wife get ready to enter the palace tomorrow!"
Lin Feng looked at his dumb eyes, threw two taels of silver over, and the companion immediately smiled and said in a loud voice:
"Thank you, Master for rewarding !!"
Then he ran away. Lin Fengjin paced back and forth in place, walked three or four times, and could only sigh after the last sigh, and said very simply:
"There's no way, I can't care if I show some tracks, this trip can't be in vain. β
The royal family needs eunuchs, and the profession of eunuchs seems to have certain particularities, but once they encounter coincidences, they can also be powerful and rich.
The entry threshold of eunuchs is not like the imperial examination and martial arts, step by step, and they will squeeze out others among thousands of troops, one in a thousand.
To be a eunuch, you just need to cut off the words and wait for luck.
Such a simple access system will inevitably lead to an imbalance between supply and demand, and there are many unlucky people who have not been selected, what should we do? In this atmosphere, we will definitely be discriminated against, and if there is still some money in the family, who will be willing to eat that knife?
So these guys who are called "nameless whites" have nothing more than three ways out:
One is to put it into the royal palace or the house of the powerful and powerful. Of course, this kind of thing is except for people who are born with a relatively high luck value, so you have to take money out to do it. But how many of the rich people in the family are willing to go to the palace?
The second is to bathe the eunuchs in the baths attached to the temples in the capital.
The third is to become a beggar, known as a eunuch, lurking in a secluded place, and when he encounters a powerful person, he is a beggar, but when he encounters the old, weak, sick and disabled, he is a robber!
Even though Xijing is strict and the laws are solemn, there will always be dark places under the lights, so the matter of eunuchs can be said to be difficult to stop, and those powerful eunuchs in the palace will also have a feeling of sadness and will come forward to exert some pressure. In addition, those eunuchs often act for wealth without harming their lives, so they just put it on hold.
However, in the Sanqi Hutong where these eunuchs usually haunt, and in the area where there are fewer people in the upside-down pit, the locals in Xijing are all in the dark, even if there is any urgency, it is also a group of three or five strong men with open fire and sticks. So they can only pit some outsiders.
Lin Fengjin was walking slowly on the road at this time, his dress at this time was already a change of outfit, a good satin shirt, the jade pendant around his waist were five or six, as he walked, the jade embedded in the round hat was also extraordinary, and the mouth was humming today's popular song, and before he got close, his nose was full of wine, and his eyes were also swaying everywhere.
In the eyes of others, this look is a boy who has eaten too much and drunk too much.
Of course, in the eyes of those eunuchs, this is a windfall from heaven, what a big fat sheep!
So Lin Fengjin staggered and walked not far away, and a person jumped out of the shadows, and a stick smashed on the back of his head, Lin Fengjin fell down in response, and then five or six hands dragged him in from the darkness. Soon, screams and cries of pain rang out inside.
The population here is relatively sparse, not to mention that these eunuchs are used to being traitors here, where is there anyone to take care of? Of course, no one would have thought that it was those eunuchs who did all kinds of evil to make the screams.
There were a total of four people who attacked Lin Fengjin, and two of them were already motionless with their hands and feet spread, Lin Fengjin knew that he was in danger this time and could not be touched by anyone, so he was extremely ruthless, and he crushed their throat nuclei as soon as he made a move.
The other two people were left alive because the wind and frost on the faces of these two people were heavier, and they looked to be around forty, one was kicked by Lin Fengjin and broke his leg, and the other was carried by the neck like a chicken, and his face was full of snot and tears.
Lin Fengjin said lightly:
"Let me ask you a question, whoever answers first will live, do you understand?"
The two nameless whites immediately kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic.
Lin Feng said slowly:
"Who knows where to find the old eunuch of the previous dynasty. β
"I know the way, I know the way, the Huaqing Pool bathhouse a little past the Lion Alley!" The nameless white shouted heartbreakingly: "Uncle Xiang who guards the clothes cabinet is it!"
"The old black in the boiled stone soup is too!!There is also the old man in the Lang Tao Sha in Dongda Hutong, his old man is the deputy head of the previous dynasty. β

After a while, Lin Fengjin dragged the four corpses to the upside-down pit, but here is a big pit that I don't know when and what month appeared in the road, at least seventy or eighty acres, the surrounding residents are pouring garbage into it, a few rainstorms in the summer, it is a big stinky puddle, at least five or six meters deep, the water above is black, occasionally bubble out from below is a grunt, what maggot stinky mice and dead cats often float on it, it is estimated that it has never been done inside, it is estimated that no one will come here to fish or salvage, it is a good place to destroy the corpsesγ (To be continued......)
