Chapter 104: Murder......

For the next nearly a month, Jing Wu seemed to have fallen into complete calm.

Originally, in the imagination of the people, such a thing as the assassination of Cheng would inevitably set off a huge wave of turmoil, at least if there were not a few heads falling on the Dharma field, this page would not be easily turned over.

But the people have been waiting for a long time, and the only thing that can be called a big event in Jianye City is that the leader of the Fish Dragon Gang entrenched in the east of the city was arrested and sent to prison for smuggling and harboring fugitives, which is really disappointing.

Could it be that this matter is just settled?

I don't know how many people in Jianye City looked up at the sky and asked God silently.

But after all, the court was too far away from them, and they didn't understand how Zhuge Wanling, who was sitting on top of ten thousand people, could endure such a breath, but they each sighed and scolded those well-dressed court captains who didn't care about anything about their were a group of incompetent people - since they were in charge of the prison, why couldn't they even find out the mastermind behind the assassination of the prime minister?

What is the use of high-ranking officials of the imperial court raising this group of pus?

However, no matter how they scolded, the Tingwei Mansion never made any reaction, at most, they scolded a few "Diao Min" who wanted to splash black dog blood in front of the Tingwei Mansion at night, and promulgated a few new laws and decrees written by Zhuge Wanling, and then, there was no follow-up.

So, in the slow passage of time, Jianye City gradually restored the peace and tranquility of the past, the one who should sell straw mats still sells straw mats, the one who sells wontons still walks the streets and alleys with a burden, and the one who sells meat buns still sells meat buns as always-

Speaking of meat buns, the fat boss who sells steamed buns these days is very surprised, because among his guests there is often a handsome student wearing Taixue clothes, sometimes he does not come alone, and from time to time he will be followed by a burly but humble companion, or a round and seemingly cute fat man......

In the restaurant teahouse, no one talked about the assassination of Cheng anymore, more of those trivial things in life, and the only joke was that the eldest lady of the Sun family, who was rumored to be about to marry General Gao, finally failed to get what she wanted.

It is said that it was because Gao's father caught the old man of the Sun family stealing his son when he was playing chess, and the two had a big quarrel about it, so naturally no one dared to mention the marriage between the two families anymore.

The big families feel a little ridiculous, but the ordinary people feel that this matter is taken for granted, in their opinion, even if the two old men don't quarrel, can this marriage really have a result?

Many girls even laughed secretly in their hearts: The eldest lady of the Sun family, who is as fat as a sow, can exhaust the group of sedan chair men who carry a sedan chair for her every time she goes out, can such a woman be worthy of our first beautiful man in Jingwu?

If that's the case, I'm afraid that half of these girls who have been thinking about the general day and night will commit suicide by throwing themselves into the well.

However, about the marriage of the tall general, they are interested in some young ladies to be married or housewives who like to gossip around when they have nothing to do, and some people with lofty ideals are still more concerned about the flood situation in the lower reaches of the river.

I heard that the prime minister sent the past supervision envoy Zhou Gongjin Zhou, who is personally leading people to inspect various granaries and porridge shops day and night, and is conscientious to the point of outrageousness, so the situation of starving to death has rarely happened.

However, because the lower reaches of the river coincided with the rainy season, the floods were repeated, and the money and food alone were obviously not enough to fight, so Zhou Daren began to collect manpower everywhere while providing disaster relief, and proposed the policy of "repairing the embankment to eat food", and the originally destroyed and collapsed embankment was gradually repaired with the joint efforts of many officials and people, and even stronger than before.

The Canghai and Great Wall missions, which were the most eye-catching before, have also begun to discuss grain aid with the imperial court, and the three thousand war horses promised by Canghai have also left Canghai and headed south.

Although the people felt that it was a bit extravagant for the 150,000 stone grain to be exchanged for 3,000 war horses, but later the government clearly informed the people that the purpose of this grain aid was to help the Great Wall rather than exchange horses, and the people not only did not object, but praised Zhuge Wanling for caring for the people of the world and being a saint with real great wisdom.

There are even people who firmly propagate a saying that as long as Zhuge Wanling can always sit firmly in the position of Jing Wu Prime Minister, sooner or later he will be able to dominate the world of war and strife.

Qin Ke finished listening to the morning class, holding the book in his arms, slowly walked through the corridor, and in the sky cut into squares by the eaves, there were chicks that had grown into fledglings flying in the air.

"Ke. Abu, who came out of the school, caught up with him and walked side by side with him, "What are your plans after the lunch break?

Teahouse...... This is a place that Qin Ke, Abu, Xiaoqian, Lou and other poor students have often visited recently, of course, the second most is the steamed bun shop closest to Taixuetang.

After officially becoming a member of the Taixue Hall, Qin Ke was pleasantly surprised to find that as a student of the Taixue Hall, there was an allowance of five taels of silver every month, although this amount was hardly a fortune for a prosperous place like Jianye City, but he lived in the Taixue Hall, and he basically didn't have to worry about the daily expenses of life, these five taels of silver could be at his disposal, and eating meat buns every three or five times was no longer a luxury for him.

"What are you talking about today?" Qin Ke was also extremely interested in listening to the romance, he had only listened to the biographies and wild histories that the master told him when he was a child, and since then he has liked this feeling of listening to people tell stories.

But after all, Mr. Storyteller specializes in this, and his tone is completely different from his master's always light and consistent feeling, when he should be low, when he should be excited, when the hero draws his sword, everyone seems to be able to hear from his words the sound of thousands of war drums beating and a thousand waves stirring, and when the beauty is gone, it can make people sink into a sad and painful state of mind, and it is difficult to extricate themselves.

At the beginning in Daoxiang Village, he didn't have the opportunity to listen to books, if he really wanted to listen, he had to climb several mountains and walk dozens of miles out of the county town to listen to a paragraph.

Most of the storytellers in small counties are poor, and a book can only be a person who receives a few pennies and wants to eat as a mouthful.

And the prosperity of Jianye Dadu, those storytellers with good eloquence will even be hired by some big theaters, and a whole team of musicians can be equipped to play and sing on the side to set off the atmosphere, that kind of immersive feeling, as if it is really into the storyteller's mouth of those heroic fighting legends, everyone has a million male soldiers, all of them can be beautiful in their arms, and they can make their rivals bow down and disappear in ashes when they talk and laugh.

The guests who can listen to such a storytelling, most of them are characters with a bit of family background in Jianye City, just a movie ticket is not something ordinary people can afford, Qin Ke and Abu and others are of course ordinary people, but as the children of Taixuetang, they can enjoy a lot of preferential treatment, such as such expensive tickets, they don't have to buy them, and even after sitting down, the boss will send someone to send a plate of beans or peanuts.

"It is said that when Brother Changgong led the eight thousand Qingzhou ghost horses to sweep through the Tang Kingdom, the Jingwu people liked to hear this the most. Abu said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!" Qin Ke nodded and quickened his pace.

After coming to Jingwu, he heard a lot of stories about Jing Wu's resistance to the Tang army, so he was naturally interested in how Gao Changgong led 8,000 cavalry to sweep through the territory of the Tang Kingdom.

However, when he and Abu walked down the street, some way from the theater, there was a sudden commotion behind them.

"Murder! Murder!"

A group of small people pushed each other and gathered in one place.
