Chapter 134 The literati scolded the officials
In the canyon next to the Immortal Cave, Dangkong sat up from the stone bed and tore off the bandages on his body, and an "X"-shaped scar on his chest made him even more murderous. Wrap the Buddha beads around his left hand again, put on the broken cloak, and moved his wrist to Yimuke and Tian Yuqi next to him: "Thank you for taking care of the two girls during this time, it's time to set off to catch up with Ren Xiao and them!"
Yi Muke and the others also packed their luggage, and after Zhou Quming prepared dry food, the four of them set off. The fairyland-like canyon has regained its silence.
Ren Xiao, who was far away in Ziyang, directly booked an inn after eating at the "Futai Tavern". In the evening, the three of them strolled down the street, by the way, to see if they could find some clues about Sun Tiansheng.
The streets in the evening are not as lively as in the afternoon, and most of the pedestrians who come and go are in a hurry to get home. After the three of them walked through two streets, they saw some notices posted by the government at an intersection.
"It seems to be a bounty order!" Feng Shang stepped forward to take a closer look. "It's really a bounty order, there are so many people!" Ren Xiao and Ye Lan also raised their interest and stepped forward to check.
"Strange! Why do these people who have been rewarded seem to be some literati?" Feng Shang pointed to a few wanted notices and motioned for Ren Xiao to pay attention.
"The prisoner Du Wenyuan, because of insulting the officials of the capital in public, the crime is unforgivable, and now a reward of 100 taels of silver is offered to arrest the key criminals, if anyone who knows the information is rewarded with 50 taels of silver, dare to hide the criminals privately, and he is guilty of the same crime!"
The monk of the three of them was puzzled, "What's the matter? The county order of Ziyang City keeps the city in order, why would anyone insult it?" Ren Xiao was a little dazed, and Ye Lan analyzed: "Maybe this person was stimulated by something, so he insulted the official." ”
"But even if he scolds, this county order doesn't need to put up a notice to reward him for wanting him! He won't be guilty of death!" Feng Shang couldn't guess what was going on. "Look carefully, this bounty order has been posted for a long time, and it's all a little yellowed!" Ren Xiao noticed the strangeness of this bounty order, Ye Lan didn't want to think about these issues anymore, so he waved his hand and motioned for Feng Shang to leave.
The three of them walked a few more steps, and suddenly a beggar in the corner of the wall in front of them caught their attention. Seeing that this beggar was different from other begging for food, he did not pretend to be pitiful to beg passers-by for alms, but lay comfortably in the corner, with his arms as pillows, and raised Erlang's legs, and must have broken a straw hat to cover his face.
"Wow! This person has a bit of my master's temperament!" Since Feng Shang was Wu Qing, he would never despise any beggar, and seeing this dashing beggar at this moment, he actually had some inexplicable good feelings in his heart. So he stepped forward.
"Hey, brother, are you hungry?" Feng Shang asked softly while crouching next to him. The beggar was a little surprised, reached out and picked up the broken straw hat, although his face was stained, he still couldn't hide the Chinese polite temperament. "Are you talking to me?" the beggar couldn't believe that Feng Shang was talking to himself.
Feng Shang looked around and said, "Is there anyone else here?" The beggar smiled and said, "No one has spoken to me for months! You are still the first, aren't you afraid?" The beggar put on his straw hat and continued to pretend to be asleep.
Feng Shang looked at Ren Xiao and them with a puzzled expression, and said to the beggar, "What should I be afraid of?" The face under the straw hat didn't know what the expression was, only heard him say, "You are from the outside."
Come from the ground!" Feng Shang nodded and said, "Yes, I just entered Ziyang City today. ”
"Hehe, I advise you to leave quickly, I don't want to bother you!" the beggar kindly reminded Feng Shangdao. Feng Shang smiled and said disdainfully: "Even involved? I have never been involved in Feng Shang in the hands of others, and no one has ever been able to affect me." The beggar was silent, apparently not wanting to speak any more. Seeing that the other party had no reaction, this aroused Feng Shang's curiosity even more, making him want to know the secret behind this beggar even more.
"Are you hungry, I'll go buy you a few buns!" Feng Shang stood up, walked back to Ren Xiao and them, and said, "I'll go buy a few buns for this person, I think he must have some secrets." I've got to get him out!"
Ren Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Listen to you!" So the three of them bought some buns nearby, Feng Shang returned to the beggar, dangled beside him with the buns, and said, "I heard the scream of your stomach, I can't help but get up and eat!" The face under the beggar's straw hat was already red. In the end, he couldn't help it, grabbed the bun in Feng Shang's hand, and ate it in a big gulp. Feng Shang watched him feast and asked with a smile, "I don't think your temperament looks like a beggar!
The beggar glanced at Feng Shang, then looked at Ren Xiao and Ye Lan who were standing next to him, and said, "My story has nothing to tell, you had better leave quickly, otherwise trouble will come soon! I am very grateful to you for giving me food, there is nothing to repay, and I will repay the favor in the next life!" After speaking, he pushed Feng Shang away and motioned for him to leave quickly.
Originally, he was kind enough to help him, but he didn't expect this guy to not appreciate it, but was driving himself away, Feng Shang was furious, slapped off the bun in the beggar's hand, and then stomped on it, and said, "I don't know what is good or bad!" Ye Lan noticed the shock in the beggar's eyes at this time, it seemed that the person in front of him could be calm no matter what he was facing, which made Ye Lan's heart shocked.
"Let's go!" Feng Shang beckoned to Ye Lan and them. Ren Xiao glanced back at the beggar, only to see that he was carefully picking up the crushed residue that Feng Shang had stepped on, and then eating it one bite at a time.
"You also noticed it?" Ye Lan said to Feng Shang in a low voice. Feng Shang smiled slightly, and said, "Otherwise, it seems that I am right, there must be a secret behind this!" There must be a reason for the sudden change in attitude, not only Ye Lan, but also Ren Xiao and Feng Shang have also discovered that among the surrounding houses, there are many eyes that have been fixed on them.
"Then what did you say to him?" Ye Lan asked. Feng Shang recalled the bun that he had just stepped on, and he used the residue to write a "Zi Shi" on the ground. At this time, the beggar behind him suddenly read out a poem: "The road ends from the white clouds, and the spring and the green stream grow." From time to time, there are falling flowers, and the fragrance of flowing water is smelled from afar. Halfway through the reading, it stopped abruptly.
After the three of them left, they went straight back to the inn, Ren Xiao hurriedly asked, "What happened just now, why did so many people suddenly target us?" Ye Lan sat down and poured a cup of tea, and said, "I think, it's because of that beggar!"
Feng Shang stood in front of the window meditating, reciting the beggar's poem back and forth. Ye Lan didn't bother him, but continued to say to Ren Xiao: "That beggar knows that if we continue to talk to him, we will find trouble, so he keeps urging us to go." He must have something unspeakable!"
At this moment, Feng Shang suddenly smiled and said, "Haha, I know, I know!" Ren Xiao watched him dance and asked, "What do you know?" Feng Shang said, "We have made an appointment to meet in the evening!" Ye Lan smiled and said, "What do you say?"
"Hey, hey, you wouldn't have thought I'd be so smart, the bun I stepped on was actually a code, I agreed to meet at the same time. Feng Shang said triumphantly. "What about the location?" Ren Xiao asked. Feng Shang was even more proud, and said, "The address is in his poem!"
Seeing Ren Xiao and Ye Lan for the first time that they didn't understand the situation, Feng Shang didn't mention how happy he was, and proudly explained: "The poems he reads are not important, the important thing is the next verses, 'Xianmen Xiangshan Road, Shenliu Reading Hall.'" He must be talking about the Academy. Ren Xiao and Ye Lan clapped their hands and praised: "Amazing, amazing!"
Night fell quickly, about midnight, the three of them got up, secretly left the inn through the window, and at dinner, Feng Shang had already inquired about the location of the school, and the three of them went to the school in the dark.
Soon, in the moonlight, a simple school appeared in front of the three of them. Just as the three of them were about to jump in, a voice came from behind them, "It seems that my brother is not an ordinary person, he must have already known the meaning of the poem!"
When the three of them turned around, it was the beggar in the evening. It's just that there was an old woman standing next to him, and when the three of them were still surprised, the beggar spoke again, "Brother Weixian, the children in the school here are already asleep, let's go to other places to talk!" After speaking, he turned around and led the way to the front.
Feng Shang and the others followed, Feng Shang asked, "You are the person on the bounty order, right?" The beggar was not surprised, as if believing that the other party had guessed his identity, and said, "Then you still don't come to arrest me and send it to the government?"
Ren Xiao explained: "Brother is wrong, how can we arrest you without knowing what happened?"
"Hahaha! Isn't it clearly written on the bounty order, insulting the officials of the capital! What else do you need to know?"
Ye Lan said: "I think, you should have been arrested once!" This sentence was not expected by the beggar, and smiled: "Yes, I have a big life, although I was tortured, I was still let go by them." ”
"So they're watching you every day, afraid you're going to do something. Feng Shang added. Walking to a small river, under the willow tree, the beggar stopped and said, "You are the 'chivalrous three young men'!" The three of them were stunned, and the beggar continued: "It has spread in the Tianshui generation, and you have broken many bandits and robbers. ”
"That's all touted by the people, we just did some small things to eliminate violence and peace!" Feng Shang was still very modest in front of unfamiliar people. "That's why I dare to come out to meet you, because you are not in the same league as those officials!"
Du Wenyuan's words surprised Ren Xiao and the three of them, since he entered Ziyang, he has always felt that the officials here must be good officials who can govern the city in an orderly manner, but at this time, Du Wenyuan's words just overturned the initial views of the three of them.
"I don't know, why does Brother Du think like this? The people in Ziyang City live and work in peace and contentment, presumably the official will not be a bad person, why do you say that?" Ren Xiao asked.
