Chapter 302: Shocking Conspiracy (7)
Liuding Liujia's complexion changed greatly, and he shouted in unison: "Just a general sentence, you dare to spew blood!" Shen Mingjian didn't answer, and then said: "This official has obviously said that you are not allowed to kill or injure criminals, but you still shoot them on the spot, can it be that you can't kill people and kill them?" Say, who instructed you?" Kong Chang Amin sneered: "You defend this prisoner so much, are you two rabbit masters?" When Lao Shen heard this, he punched and beat him.
The soldiers he brought with him fought loosely, but they were very good at fighting, shouting and rushing to Liuding Liujia. The execution ground, which was originally slaughtered, immediately became a chicken, a dog, and a fist and foot flew sideways, and scolding erupted.
In this chaos, only Shen Mingjian's eyes silently shed two lines of tears. The turmoil on the execution ground was like a pebble thrown into a lake, and although it caused a little ripple, it was quickly forgotten by the people.
Heavenly Court has endless news to chase every day, and people don't stay fresh on one thing for too long. Two months later, Shen Mingjian's injuries were almost healed.
On this day, he prepared a thick stack of documents and rushed to Ning Shensi. As soon as they arrived at the door, someone shouted: "Shen Tongju!" Everyone turned their heads when they heard these three words, and they all clenched their fists, with a look of admiration in their eyes.
It turned out that Xiangguofu and Ningshensi had never been on good terms, but Xiangguofu was even more powerful, and they always pressed them in everything.
Although Shen Mingjian's battle was a tragic victory, it played the prestige of Ning Shensi, and it also gave everyone a bad breath.
Lao Shen smiled reluctantly and went straight into the yamen, where the director was waiting for him.
"Old Shen, put things down quickly. You have a wound on your body, why do you have to run by yourself? I'll just send someone to fetch it. Shen Mingjian hummed and put the paperwork on the bookcase, and he still stood with his hands down.
The director sighed softly: "Old Shen, sit and talk." You are now the great hero of our Ning Shen Division, so you don't have to be so formal. "Shen Mingjian heard that he was not punished for leading people to fight in a group, it was entirely because of the mediation of the director, otherwise he would lose his official position, and even squat in prison for ten days and a half months.
He said a little and said, "This time, thanks to the great help of the adults, the lower officials are grateful. The director smiled generously: "It's just a little favor." You're the one who does great things for me. You have made a great contribution to the death of the god Tianluo, not only identifying the murderers, but also dismantling their organization. Alas, I can't imagine that the invincible heroes of Tianluo God actually died at the hands of half-bloods, which is really sad and lamentable! But it's all over, I have reported your merits to the imperial court, and I will be promoted to your official within a few days. I'll get to the bottom of it - the governor of the six products. How about it, is it okay?" Shen Mingjian stood up respectfully: "Master Xie!" The director laughed: "What do you say! You, you are about to be on an equal footing with me, and drink tea." With a wave of his hand, a set of exquisite tea sets flew to Lao Shen's side and poured him a cup.
Shen Mingjian said: "My lord, I can't, it's just that my body is sore, and I want to take a cigarette to relieve my fatigue." The director was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay, please." Shen Mingjian quietly lit the cigarette pouch, and after a burst of fire, the smoke rose and soon surrounded him.
Lao Shen took two sips, and suddenly said, "Do you know about Beiyanling?" The director scratched his head: "Beiyanling...... Did you mention this place in the paperwork?"
"Yes. The director only saw the fireworks flickering and extinguishing, and Lao Shen was almost invisible. Listening to his voice, he continued: "Beiyanling is a secret base for half-bloods, but it has few dangers and obstacles, and it is not suitable to occupy the mountain as the king. Do you know why they chose to be there?" the director shook his head, "I don't know. Shen Mingjian said: "It has something to do with an old incident. In the lower realm, there was a person named Yuan Haowen who wrote two sentences, which were: Ask what is the situation in the world? He wrote this poem because he was passing through a boundary and saw a wild goose shot by a hunter and his partner was buried on his own. The name of Beiyanling is the same, but it is not a wild goose that died on the ridge, but a couple. One of them is an immortal, and the other is a demon. The director gasped: "And this?"
"That's right. Shen Mingjian said.
"There was a stone tablet on Beiyanling that recorded this incident, but when I went to check it, it had already been scraped clean, and it was obvious that someone wanted to destroy the evidence. However, the man forgot that he was born as a scribe, and he could always remember a point or two of the documents he had read, even if he did not forget them. So I consulted the records of Beiyanling County for more than 9,000 years, and finally figured out this legend. It turned out that at that time, there was a lieutenant named Tan Qing in the Heavenly Court, and his person was extremely brave. One day, the demon clan didn't know which nerve it was wrong to, and actually organized more than 100 elites to break into the Lingxiao Hall at night in an attempt to assassinate all saints. Tan Qing led all the spirit officials to fight bloodily and killed or arrested the demons. Among the arrested demons was a woman named Kira. Na Qiluo can be eloquent and state the interests and disadvantages with Tan Qing. Tell him that the so-called demons are not all bad people, and some just don't want to be in the company of the heavenly court. But Heavenly Court has never been able to tolerate any opposition, and it has actually forced many good people into the devil's path......" Speaking of this, Shen Mingjian suddenly stopped and asked, "The director has been in the body for a long time, have you ever heard of this old news?"
"Hmm".
"It seems to be a little impressive. Tan Qing...... It must have been a long time ago. Shen Mingjian continued: "Exactly. This incident is more than 10,000 years ago, and almost no one remembers it anymore. said that although Tan Qing was in an important position, his ears were soft, and he sympathized with them after listening to the witch's few words of bewitchment. So he ordered the jailer not to embarrass Kira, and arranged for some good wine and food. After going back and forth, the more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and they actually did unscrupulous things in prison. Since then, Tan Qing has replaced the jailers with his henchmen, as if the prison is his home. Three years later, the witch gave birth to a baby boy, but it was a hybrid of fairies and demons!" the director heard
The word "mongrel", his body couldn't help but tremble violently. I don't know if Lao Shen saw it. At this time, there was the sound of the cigarette pouch pot tapping in the fog, and he seemed to have changed a pot of tobacco leaves, still swallowing clouds and spitting out the fog while saying: "Speaking of half-breed people, it is actually very pitiful. The Demon Realm felt that they had immortal blood, and they were unreliable, so they didn't dare to take them in. And the gods think they are inferior, and regard them as no different from evil spirits. It is very difficult for a half-breed person to make a living in such a situation. Fortunately, the baby had no such concerns. His father is a lieutenant of Si Li, and he will inevitably be a big official in the future. Such an identity is enough for him to live a carefree life. The child grew up in a dungeon, and although he had never seen the outside world, he had a fatherly and maternal love, far more than ordinary half-breeds. The smoke was getting louder and louder, and the director couldn't help coughing.
He waved his hand and said, "Old Shen, the smell of smoke is too choking, you can let it go for a while." ”
"Yes!" But seeing that the fire was extinguished, Shen Mingjian's voice became ethereal.
"When the boy was five years old, something happened to him. Tan Qing's opponent didn't know how to grasp the matter of him having a child with a witch, and immediately reported it to the Emperor of Heaven. His Majesty was furious, and immediately took Tan Qing's official position and ordered a hunt. Fortunately, Tan Qing's old ministry desperately came with the news, and Tan Qing fled with his family. Flee straight to Beiyanling. The director suddenly said: "At that time, that place was not called Beiyanling. ”
"You Shengming, at that time, there was no name for that place, it was just an ordinary ridge. Tan Qing's family of three fled to the ridge, seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, they knew that they would not be spared today. Kira handed the child to a soldier who accompanied him and said, "Since this eldest brother lives and dies with my husband, he must be a true hero." Please remember that I took my children away from the world for the sake of my husband and brother, and the concubine was under the nine springs to thank you for your great kindness. Tan Qing also clenched his fists and asked him. At that time, the child was five years old, what didn't he understand? Hearing this, he couldn't help but cry out loud, and said: 'Father, mother, if you die, I won't live, can we get together as a family in the underworld?' Tan Qing smiled sadly: "Silly child, the sky and the earth are their nets." Even if we really get to the Yin Division, we will be separated forever. Don't cry, go with your uncle!' But the boy refused to persuade him, and the soldier gritted his teeth, and had to knock him unconscious with one palm, and then carry him and go. Tan Qing saw that the two figures were getting smaller and smaller under the ridge, and he couldn't help but feel deeply relieved in his heart. He turned back to Kira and said, 'Madam, you and I have not fought together since we were married. Today, for the sake of the child, you can give it a go. The witch is also a heroine among women, and without saying a word, a pair of Emei thorns stood beside her husband. At this time, the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals came up like a tide, but the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled. Speaking of this, Shen Mingjian suddenly stopped talking, as if mourning the couple who were both enviable and admirable.
After a while, the director suddenly sighed: "You...... Do you know what happened to that couple?" Shen Mingjian said: "When the soldiers came up to the mountain, Tan Qing dragged the three-pointed two-edged knife and shouted: 'Brothers, Tan Mou usually takes you well, and today he doesn't want to hurt the harmony. As long as you are willing to let my wife go, Tan will be arrested immediately. How?' Although those soldiers are Tan Qing's subordinates, who would dare to disobey the emperor's orders? The leader of the team said: "Lord Tan, this is unacceptable, and I ask for forgiveness." Tan Qing laughed: "Understand, understand!" He was known to be famous on weekdays, but today he is determined to die, so he is really like a tiger entering a flock. Mrs. Kira followed behind her husband and wanted to kill a few more people, but suddenly realized that something was wrong. Tan Qing made dozens of moves, but none of them were fatal, only knocking people to the ground, but not killing them. The lady understood what her husband meant. It turned out that he was loyal to the Heavenly Palace, and he didn't want to lose his reputation in the end. The lady said in her heart that if I marry a chicken and follow a chicken, I will fulfill him, so she danced like a wind and stabbed her thorns, but she did not kill anyone. However, no matter how high the couple's kung fu is, their physical strength is limited, and it is much more difficult to stun the enemy than to kill the enemy. About half an hour later, someone's spear stabbed Madame in the thigh, and Madame fell to a pool of blood with a scream. Tan Qing hurriedly pounced to protect his beloved wife, and was immediately stabbed in the back a few times, and he couldn't fight anymore. That Tan Qing looked up to the sky and sighed: "It is really a great sorrow that I, Tan Mou, am loyal and righteous, but I died as a fugitive. I don't regret my death, I just hope that you can think about it: Immortals and demons must fight each other?' The lady was so grieved that she snatched the sword from her husband's hand and committed suicide. After the death of the couple, the bodies still supported each other, and the audience was in tears. At this time, the autumn wind is rising, and the wild geese are crying sadly, which is very similar to the situation when Yuan Haowen wrote "Yanqiu", so some good people named the place Beiyanling to express the meaning of remembrance. This past story was written as an article and engraved on a stone tablet. Shen had already been destroyed when he checked it. Fortunately, I checked the local county records and got a more detailed record, so I learned the whole ins and outs of that incident. The director rubbed his eyes with his hand and said, "Old Shen, you have worked hard." However, this official has a question: What is the connection between this matter and the case of Tianluo God?" Shen Mingjian said: "My lord, of course there is a connection. The son of Tan Qing, who escaped that day, is the real culprit behind the murder of Tianluo God. The chief was shocked: "Is there such a thing?" But after thinking about it, he smiled and waved his hand: "No, you are mistaken." Neither Huma, who was shot, nor Orchid, who was still in custody, were of the right age. They were too young to be the kids. Shen Mingjian said: "Huma and Hu Ji are both innocent, and the murderer is someone else." ”
"Oh, who is the murderer?" Suddenly, the smoke cleared, and Shen Mingjian's short body seemed to become as firm as a rock, he stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and said loudly: "It's you, my lord!" The director was stunned.
After a moment he began to laugh, laughing so hard that he couldn't lift his waist.
"You say...... It's me ......" Shen Mingjian stood at the bottom of the stairs and just looked at him coldly. Suddenly, the director struck the book case and said: "Bold Shen Mingjian! You dare to make clever words to frame the official, do you know what crime should be committed?" Shen Mingjian was not afraid: "If the humble position is wrong, I would rather be killed." But what if it's a humble position?" The chief laughed: "If that's the case, the official is also willing to confess his guilt and subjugate the law......" Two fierce lights suddenly shot out of his eyes: "But you'd better explain things clearly, otherwise the official won't be able to spare you!" Shen Mingjian sang and said: "That's natural." He pondered for a moment and paced in all directions: "I first suspected you when I was checking the accounts. ”
"How much money was spent on the accounts was reported by the respective ministries, does it have anything to do with me?" Shen Mingjian shook his head: "No." ”
"Then what do you have to say?" Shen Mingjian said: "It is precisely because it has nothing to do with it that it is suspicious." If you think about it, money is a big deal no matter which yamen it is placed in, and even if the chief officer doesn't know it in detail, he still has to ask about it. But it's good that you don't ask, but approve them all. Is this reasonable? I borrowed the accounts of other yamen with a little connection, and found that our Ning Shen Division's is different from other ones. So I came to the conclusion that you are deliberately avoiding access to the accounts. But this is like an allusion to the three hundred taels of silver here, and the more you avoid the flaws, the more obvious they become. I'm afraid that those accounts have been revised by you or your behest, right?"
