Chapter 35: The Most Unretained in the World (11)
Because of the unexpected death in the hook bar, Liao Changzhong returned to the house in the middle of the night, slept until noon before getting up, and didn't want to go to the yamen to report, anyway, his relationship with Wei Zhubo is well known, and if he should have made false documents and account books, no one will come to catch him.
After lunch, the next person came in to pass the ceremony, and it was Master Wei who came to the door.
Liao Changzhong still wanted to wait outside the door, but when he arrived in the front yard, he saw that Wei Xian had already walked in - what was the matter, why was he so impatient?
Of course, he would not dare to ask this sentence.
"Changzhong, don't tell me, don't blame. ”
"Whatever the adults say, please come in!"
Liao Changzhong invited Wei Xian to the upper seat, waited for the next person to place the tea tray properly, he waved his hand and drove everyone out, so he took some official business to accompany him, and chatted for a while, just waiting for Wei Xian to say what he meant.
"I still remember last year, and it was also the end of the year, and you told this official that you built a dark room in the house. Can you take me to see one or two?"
"It's good for adults to have this kind of Yaxing, but it's vulgar and leaky, I'm afraid of dirtying my adult's leather boots. ”
This kind of dark room to save his life is known to fewer people, the better, but Liao Changzhong has no choice but to be unwilling, who calls someone his top boss!
"It's okay, so-and-so is just a vulgar person. ”
Seeing that Wei Xian had made up his mind, Liao Changzhong could only lead him into the inner room behind the hall. When the two walked around a huge screen with carved gold, Wei Xian stared at the concubine who was in the begonia soup in Huaqing Pond on the screen, and said to Liao Changzhong with a smile: "Changzhong originally liked this style. ”
"Let the adults laugh, I have loved it since I was a child, and it is difficult to change it in this life. ”
"From the beginning, I saw it very well. ”
Liao Changzhong came to the edge of a bookcase, turned the mechanism, opened the wall behind the bookcase, and made way for a secret passage.
Wei Xian entered the secret passage, but only two feet ago, he arrived at a secret room.
"My lord, please look, there is a broken dragon stone on it, it can be put and opened inside, there is an air outlet behind it, the villain has hidden dry food here, it can be eaten for more than a month, and there is a well ...... here."
Wei Xian admired while watching, although there was an outlet inside, it was dark and damp, and he didn't want to stay for a long time, so he retreated.
"Changzhong, is the person who built the dark room for you still there?"
"This ...... Don't hide it from adults, this person has already entered reincarnation, and I'm afraid I won't be able to contribute to adults. ”
Wei Xian leaned over and pressed Liao Changzhong's shoulder, leaned on his body and said, "If there is one, there will be two, and this official believes that you can find a skilled craftsman to build a dark room for this official." Changzhong, this matter is very urgent, and we must hurry up...... Also, you have to do it yourself, don't leak the news. ”
There is no need to explain the reasons for the things that the Shangguan ordered to explain. There are two main reasons why Wei Xian asked him to do this. First, Liao Changzhong is a big help for him to collect money, and he knows all the things that he is doing, and he is his own person. Second, he is not from the rivers and lakes, and he is targeting the people in the rivers and lakes to do this, so he can only find people who are not in the rivers and lakes to do it.
After returning home, I changed into a pair of cloud head shoes, cleaned them, took a cup of tea and tasted it leisurely, planning to steal a half-day leisure, who knew that Xu Qing was here.
"Uncle, it's not good!"
Although Xu Qing said it seriously, his face was calm, he poured a cup of hot tea from the teapot, tasted the soup, and continued: "The last time my uncle asked me to invite the senior brothers to come to help, yesterday the six of them brought some companions and some individual guests, and nearly 20 people died on the official road outside Chang'an City. ”
"How can I not know such a big thing?"
Xu Qing explained: "I asked my subordinates to clean up the scene, and blocked the news, and the news has not been heard, and everyone in the city does not know. ”
Wei Xian didn't know why, and asked, "Why do you want to hide it so much?"
Xu Qing said: "The spread of such things will only add more humiliation to the master, more than 20 people, for unknown reasons, were killed, if it spreads, there will be a shock on the rivers and lakes, and it will be all bad for the master." ”
"Can you find out who did it?"
"There are no clues. ”
Wei Xian wanted to smash the teacup in his hand out, but in the end he held back and asked: "Originally, I thought that I would just take advantage of Yun Wujing's matter to invite the people from your division to Chang'an, and make more contacts, so as to facilitate each other's development in the future, who wants to come is so useless, and the city will be killed by others before they even enter!"
Xu Qing could hear the meaning of these words, but if he dragged the master into this pool of muddy water in Chang'an, he didn't think it was a good thing.
And in this regard, neither he nor the elders in the division are fully prepared.
Here, Xu Qing was silent.
Wei Xian looked unnoticed, and then said: "It's all said that Yun Wujing is powerful, and my uncle will tell you the truth, I have never been afraid at all! Liu Wencong's secret letter was destroyed, and these people from the Xinyi League ...... That Fang Zimo's friends in the rivers and lakes, if he doesn't come out, if he wants to take revenge, he will become a person who sits together! In this world, no one has ever avenged the crimes of the imperial court, and he can end up with a good one! Have you ever thought about it, when I change to another time, where can I find your master? This Chang'an, I am not worried, but the people in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, there are many people who are staring at your master!"
Xu Qing refilled the tea soup for him, took the kettle from the stove next to him, and poured some hot water into the kettle. He went to the west corner of the house, stirred the coals in the brazier, and when he had done this, his mind was settled.
"Uncle, don't worry, as long as the master can fight for glory for the official family and the court for many years, he has never spared any effort. I'll ask someone to send a letter back, and invite a few uncles and elders to come out of the mountain and come to Chang'an as guests, and by the way, I will meet that cloud Wujing for a while!"
"Qing'er, thanks to you, otherwise it would be very difficult for my uncle to work alone in this vicious officialdom, and he would have to be tortured and harassed by these unknown Jianghu people......"
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Uncle watched me grow up, don't say that." By the way, have you heard that Hai and Xia Yunxian are back?"
"Hmph, these people in the rivers and lakes are evil! I used to boast that there was no right in the world, and I had no opponent, but when I saw that Yun Wujing, I escaped faster than anyone else......
In fact, if he could choose, Xu Qing would walk in front of the nine difficulties and stay away from all this.
Chang'an City is huge, but it is too small for him...... Where can I not go to this river and lake? I have to be trapped in this corner of the place, unable to move......
This is true of all things on earth. The fish are leisurely, but they can't get ashore, and the birds are free, but they don't have a good place to stay.
On what basis is he beyond the world?
Xu Qing walked slowly down the street, he didn't go home, but went out of the city and turned towards Dongshi.
In fact, many people don't understand why the highest floor of the restaurant is built to be splendid, even the most ordinary chair must be made of high-quality mahogany, and the outside is also wrapped with gold edges, or a pair of chopsticks, which are also dyed with silver flowers, and there is a shiny bead at the end...... The fourth floor of the Victory Distillery is outrageously luxurious, and it costs almost ten times as much money to eat a meal as the three floors below!
When this Victory Wine Shop first opened, most people were sure that no one would go to the fourth floor, because the wine and food on the top were no different from those on the lower three floors, and the bottom was not satisfied, so why should they go up and eat?
Later, on the fourth floor of the Victory Distillery, the highest floor had the most customers.
Just because people in this world, young and old, always want to be different, even if it costs ten times more money for it!
Xu Qing came to the fourth floor, and he appeared here because of the person he was looking for, so he sat here and drank.
It was a young man, sitting in the best position against the south. The table was full of delicacies, and there were several jars of wine piled up on the floor.
On the east side, there was also a table of similar wine and food, and five men sat passing glasses and making glasses, and the scene looked very lively.
He was the only one sitting at the table on the south side. But this young man gives the impression that he is a person who will never be alone.
He eats the food and drinks that five people need by himself, but he doesn't feel extravagant and wasteful at all.
As if he was supposed to be.
There are people who are born to be more noble than others, and he is such a person.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Xu Qing saw this scene.
He sat down, blocked the glass he was pushing, and said, "I don't want to drink." ”
"Why don't you drink it?" the man had already drunk, and stared at him with displeasure.
"The six brothers and sisters suffered, and now they are drinking and disrespecting the deceased. ”
"Joke, death is dead, nothing feels anything, who cares if you drink or not?
Xu Qing silently used his internal strength, and the other party couldn't eat his internal strength, and the wine glass was pushed back.
"Senior Brother Du, to behave in the world, lies in not being unpleasant, not to mention, 'a gentleman works all day long, and he is not to blame. This is a cautionary tale that the master often puts on his lips. ”
The young man's internal strength was also irresistible, his whole face was red, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead.
People in the rivers and lakes, high and low martial arts, how much there is a psychology after doing it, this person still has to resist strongly, I don't know whether it is good or bad.
Xu Qing didn't let him either, he kept resisting, and only when he was trembling all over his body did he let go of his hand - the "pop" wine glass shattered and fell to the ground.
"What do you think about the injuries of the six senior brothers and those Jianghu people?"
Xu Qing had a purpose in asking this, this person was his fellow disciple, and his surname was Du. He also has an identity, that is, the only son of the head of the Taiyi Sword Sect, his identity is not trivial, he can't insult him at will and press him, just to let him take away the high-profile and presumptuous anger on his body. But after being pressed, it still needs to be wooed, and in the rivers and lakes, the most reliable is the person of the same door.
"What can I think?" said Du Wei without thinking about it.
"When Xu Qing was studying art in the mountain, the elders and venerable masters of the entire Sword Sect said that you were the most unique person in the mountain gate. So I'd like to ask you how you see it. Xu Qing did not hesitate to add a flattery, he is a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and can be high-energy, and this communication is unhindered.
"The one who killed them was a person who had at least twenty years of internal cultivation, his swordsmanship was sharp, and his moves were chaotic and he couldn't see the roots. "Du Wei's courage is very useful, but what he actually says is not of much use.
A little bit of the eyes could be seen, Xu Qing was unmoved, and asked, "Who do you estimate did it?"
Du Wei said angrily: "How do I know?"
"If this person doesn't find out, you may be in danger. ”
Du tasted courage and said: "I went incognito and came to Chang'an alone, except for you, who will know?"
"In Hedong, I am surrounded by friends, but when I get to Guanzhong, I am full of old enemies!" Xu Qing couldn't help but feel heavy when he saw that he didn't pay much attention to it, and sighed and said, "When the Song people came over, our Taiyi Sword Sect rushed to the forefront with the former enemy commander-in-chief Yang Lao Linggong, that is, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty surrendered, and we are still fighting, there are Song soldiers in all directions, and we are still fighting!" Shang Zhidao, who is known as the first swordsman in the Northern Song Dynasty, was wiped out alive by the four ancestral elders' four-elephant sword formation, and after this battle, the people in the rivers and lakes of the Song Dynasty regarded our sword sect as a great enemy......!
Du Weidan ignored Xu Qing's affectionate words, shouted at Xiao Er, dropped the silver ticket, and walked downstairs by himself.
Xu Qing followed him, and after a while, he came to the outside of a Goolan courtyard.
Seeing that Du tasted the courage to step inside, Xu Qing finally couldn't bear it, grabbed it, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Du, you have to spend all day drinking, and you shouldn't care about being a senior brother, but the same brother died tragically in Chang'an yesterday, who did it? Is it for the master, or for this arrangement?
Du Wei dared to shake off Xu Qing's pull, and said angrily: "Can you find out? You also know the glorious history of your sect! What are the rivers and lakes here, the officialdom here, what are they like in their eyes! What are you asking us to do in Chang'an? Do you want to use your uncle's relationship to lay out Kaifeng? Do you know how much my father wants to find that one to take revenge? Back then, the surnamed Zhao killed the entire Hedong into a river of blood, wasn't it enough? Yes, the Four Elephant Sword Formation back then, even if the first in swordsmanship, Shang Zhi, could kill it, but what about the four ancestral elders? Aren't they also killed by the Jianghu people in Guanzhong? Finally, the world is peaceful, can you not keep thinking about those old hatreds? There are so many people in the gate, and they will not stop until they have fought hard?"
Xu Qing was unmoved, and only said calmly: "I have been cultivated by my master for many years, and I have been taught hard by my superiors, unless the master of the sect says that he will not take revenge, how can Xu Qing give up?"
"Okay, you can do it, anyway, I've already passed the book back, and I ask my father to decide...... It is estimated that in a few days, several elders will come down the mountain and rush to Chang'an. When they come, where will I have a chance to have fun? So, don't stand in my way!" Du Wandang pushed him away and walked into the courtyard.
Xu Qing watched him walk into the gentle countryside where the lights were flickering, and anger and sadness unconsciously surged in his heart. is angry with the son of the head of the house, and laments the helplessness of his fate.
He had a vague premonition that perhaps in the future, it would be the Taiyi Sword Sect and the destroyed Jinyang City that he would have to bear......
