Text Chapter 32 The old man is forced to go to the fire

The coquettishness of the daughter's family is a big weapon against men. But Dong Ping has never eaten this set, and when he saw the cuckoo running away with a look of shame, Dong Ping just said in his heart: "Run, run, see who regrets it for a while." ”

When the lights of thousands of homes are on, it is time to wash your feet and go to bed to rest. But in the Jiang family, Feng Lan's family was around the dinner table, and no one moved their chopsticks. At dinner, if Jiang Qinzhou did not come back, then he would not be able to eat, which was a common rule in the Jiang family.

Suddenly, Feng Lan got up and smiled: "Master, you're back." Quick, wait for the master to change his clothes!"

Jiang Qinzhou changed his official uniform into civilian clothes and sat on the main seat of the dinner table. He had a gloomy face, and he hadn't said a word since he entered the house. Feng Lan and the three of them didn't dare to speak, Jiang Cishu really couldn't stand this annoying atmosphere, she took the lead in speaking: "Daddy, you try this Jinling ball, it was cooked by my mother herself." ”

Jiang Qinzhou suddenly came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "Oh, move your chopsticks, don't be stunned." The three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Feng Lan put a ball in Jiang Qinzhou's bowl, and said, "Master, what's the trouble again?"

Jiang Qinzhou smiled and said: "Every day is a thing, and any one of them is enough to make people annoying." Jiang Cishu smiled and said: "Daddy is busy with official business every day, and it is time to find a day to rest." Jiang Qinzhou smiled: "Yes, it's time to rest." If it snows, our family will go to the West Lake to enjoy the snow together. ”

Feng Lan smiled: "That's good, our family is also lively." At this time, Feng Lan glanced at Jiang Chuzhe, only to see that he was eating without a mouthful, obviously absent-minded. She said, "Chu'er, what do you want?"

Jiang Chuzhe was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "It's good to enjoy the snow, then do we still call it disgusting with the green?" Jiang Qinzhou glared at him and said: "What's the matter, disgusting with the youth and we are also a family, how can we not call it!"

"Yes, yes. Jiang Chuzhe smiled, put down the chopsticks, and said, "The child has eaten." Then he got up and went out. Jiang Qinzhou said lightly: "You wait first, my father still has a few words to tell you." ”

Jiang Chuzhe said: "Dad, to make a long story short, I still have important things to do." Feng Lan suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm done." Resign, go to the mother's house, my mother also has something to tell you. Jiang Ciyu understood what Feng Lan meant, answered, and walked out with her.

Jiang Qinzhou sighed and said, "Chu'er, have you been investigating a few cases that happened in Lin'an not long ago?" Jiang Chuzhe replied: "Exactly." Dad, do you know anything inside?"

Jiang Qinzhou snorted coldly and said, "Although my father doesn't know the inside story, my father is not blind. What kind of place is Lin'an, it is the capital of my Great Song Dynasty, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. But there was such a major case, but the Criminal Department, Yushitai, and Dali Temple didn't react, why do you say this?"

Jiang Chuzhe smiled and said: "Dad, I won't tell you, this case is very likely to involve a big man in the palace." Several major yamen should have received some news, but because they were afraid, they chose not to move. Jiang Qinzhou smiled and said: "Oh, big man, what big man?" Jiang Chuzhe said: "This is a confidential case, and the child can't disclose it." ”

Jiang Qinzhou said lightly: "Even if I haven't read the file of this case, I know that this case must be very involved." From now on, you will leave this case alone. ”

Jiang Chuzhe was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Why! Others are afraid of the powerful, should children also be afraid? Others grovel, should children also be in the same stream! Daddy, you have taught children to be upright since childhood!"

Jiang Qinzhou slapped the table with a "bang" and shouted: "Then I will teach you four more words today to judge the situation!"

Jiang Chuzhe looked at Jiang Qinzhou in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief. In a trance, Jiang Qinzhou seemed to have become another person in his eyes, making him feel terrible and bored. Jiang Qinzhou softened his tone and said helplessly: "Chu'er, one day you will understand the painstaking loneliness of being a father. ”

Jiang Chuzhe nodded and said, "The child understands." ”

Jiang Qinzhou said: "It's good to understand, rest well at night, and report to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow." Jiang Chuzhe's eyes widened, and said: "Ministry of Industry, Daddy, the child hasn't been working in Dali Temple for a long time, why is he going to the Ministry of Industry again?" Jiang Qinzhou said lightly: "According to your temperament, if you are on an errand in the Yamen of the prison, something big will happen sooner or later." The Ministry of Work is good, at least it can sharpen your temper. ”

Jiang Chuzhe gritted his teeth and said, "The child understands." ”

Before Jiang Chuzhe's words fell, a subordinate entered the room to report: "Master, there is a tall one-eyed man outside, looking for the young master." Jiang Qinzhou was taken aback and said, "The one-eyed man, the guards around the master of the horse seem to be missing an eye. ”

Jiang Chuzhe said: "Daddy is right, that strong man is the guard of the master of the horse." ”

Jiang Qinzhou was puzzled: "Why are you involved with the people of the Horse Mansion?"

Jiang Chuzhe said: "I must have come to find the child to understand the case, and the child will send him away!"

Jiang Qinzhou stretched out his hand violently and stopped: "No, don't be so reckless. You take a few boxes of good pastries at home, go to the Pony Mansion with the strong man, and explain to the Pony Master. You told the master that you had to put down the case because of the transfer, and I hope the master don't mind. ”

Jiang Chuzhe nodded and said, "Yes." ”

When Jiang Chuzhe left the house, he saw Lin Sanchuan, who was full of anxiety, greeted him and said, "Brother, what are you rubbing!"

Jiang Chuzhe said: "Brother Lin, then Song Chengjun has moved?"

Lin Sanchuan said: "I set up a carriage and went out, he was alone, without an entourage, let's chase it quickly, maybe we can catch up!"

Jiang Chuzhe threw the pastry in his hand on the ground and shouted, "Go!"

The two relied on some kung fu on their bodies, and walked all the way to the roof of others. Lin Sanchuan relied on his extraordinary eyesight, but he didn't lose Song Chengjun's carriage in the end. Song Chengjun drove the carriage out of the city from the north gate, he was the eldest young master of the general's family guarding the city, naturally no one dared to stop him, and Jiang Chuzhe was the same.

The farther north he went, the darker it became, and after walking for five or six miles, the sky had completely darkened, and he couldn't see his fingers. When Jiang Chuzheng was surprised why it was so dark this day, he didn't pay attention and tripped over the protruding stones on the road. Fortunately, Lin Sanchuan heard the movement and helped him in time, otherwise he would have fallen by now. Lin Sanchuan said: "Brother, you drag my clothes, and I will lead the way." Jiang Chuzhe said: "It's troublesome big brother." ”

Lin Sanchuan also muttered in his heart: "It's really a bit evil this day. ”

After traveling for another ten miles, Lin Sanchuan stopped suddenly. Jiang Chuzhe asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Sanchuan said: "The carriage stopped, and the man went into the woods. Jiang Chuzhe said: "Let's go in too." ”

The woods were dense and big, Song Chengjun walked in the forest, and Lin Sanchuan and the others followed all the way in the trees. Lin Sanchuan said secretly: "It's weird, it's weird." It's been cold early this year, but none of the leaves in the forest seem to have fallen. ”

After another moment, I vaguely saw a fire in front of me. When I walked in, I saw that in a clearing in the forest, a large bonfire was burning. Nineteen masked men dressed in black, with black hoods over their heads and only their eyes exposed, sat around a campfire. Outside of these nineteen people, there were twenty Taoist priests around.

Lin Sanchuan and the others stared at the secret place of the canopy, and Jiang Chuzhe said secretly: "Look at this dress, it should be right, this group of people is undoubtedly the murderer." Suddenly, I saw Song Chengjun squeezing into the center of the circle with murderous intent, and he shouted: "Okay, if the matter is going to be revealed, you have to take Lao Tzu to the top of the cylinder, right?"

At this time, a round-faced middle-aged Taoist priest jumped up and landed lightly beside Song Chengjun, he just stretched out his right index finger and gently put it on Song Chengjun's shoulder, and Song Chengjun's huge body suddenly fell to the ground.

Lin Sanchuan's heart sank, and he said secretly: "Good guy, this bull's nose kung fu is not shallow!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest said lightly: "Song Chengjun, you have been expelled from this sect, who allowed you to come here without permission?"

At this time, the middle-aged Taoist priest of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are rude. It was Song Gongzi who first sent me a letter with a flying pigeon, and I allowed him to come. ”

The round-faced Taoist priest hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Senior brother is offended." With that, he returned to his place and sat down.

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "Song Gongzi has misunderstood, there has never been a precedent for ignoring the disciples in this sect. Song Chengjun gasped, turned over and sat up, and said, "You have already swept me out of the house, and this sect will naturally not protect me anymore!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smile: "This is also a helpless matter, to join my sect, you must choose one of the two tests of removing other people's filth and purifying one's own body to complete." But Song Gongzi didn't do any of it, so I naturally can't take Song Gongzi in. Having said that, even though Song Gongzi is not a disciple of my teaching, my teaching will not ignore Song Gongzi. In this way, if Song Gongzi still wants to join my teaching, then Poor Dao is willing to let Song Gongzi accept another test. ”

Hearing this, the group waved their hands and said, "No, no, my sect has never had such rules." ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "If the people I teach are conformist and stubborn, then what is the difference between other sects?"

The crowd was silent.

Song Gongzi sneered: "What is to get rid of his filth, purify himself, and say it nicely, isn't it just murder and rape!

Lin Sanchuan secretly praised when he heard this: "This person's character is not bad. ”

The round-faced Taoist priest suddenly shouted: "Bold fanatics, you ......" The middle-aged Taoist priest interrupted him and said, "It doesn't matter if Song Gongzi doesn't want to join my sect, please sit down and listen to the poor Taoist finish this scripture." After listening to the scriptures, no one will dare to disturb you in the future. ”

Lin Sanchuan's heart sank, and he said secretly: "It's bad, this bull's nose has a great prestige, and it is obviously the one with the highest cultivation among this group of people." He may have already noticed the traces of me and Brother Jiang, and he has a heart to stop talking. It doesn't matter if I fold here, don't let Brother Jiang die here at a young age. ”

At this time, Song Chengjun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you talk about a scripture." But you don't want to do anything to me, before I left home, I left a letter to my old man, writing down all your deeds, if I have three long and two short, you don't think that you can end up!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "This is nature. Immediately, Song Chengjun sat down and heard the middle-aged Taoist priest smile: "Yin gives birth to yin, yang gives birth to yang, and old yin gives birth to young yang." This is recorded in the Book of Changes, and it is a hexagram. It is also easy to understand, and if you listen quietly, you can understand yin as night and yang as day. The night does not pass in a blink of an eye, but gradually continues, and this stage is the yin and yang, and the same is true of yang and yang. And when the night is at its thickest, it is the old yin. When night turns to day, it will be the old yin and the young yang......" The middle-aged Taoist priest did not finish his word, and everyone heard a rough voice above their heads laughing and said: "What the Taoist chief said is verbose!"

This voice was naturally made by Lin Sanchuan, Jiang Chuzhe was startled when he heard the sound, and he didn't understand why Lin Sanchuan suddenly exposed his tracks. He stared at Lin Sanchuan, only to see that Lin Sanchuan was staring at him, and he knew that Lin Sanchuan wanted to give up his life and change his life. Jiang Chuzhe was grateful, he nodded, and immediately jumped away. Lin Sanchuan was relieved to see that Jiang Chuzhe was not so pedantic and hypocritical.

And when the Daoists below were about to get up, they were stopped by the middle-aged Taoist priest. The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "Do you have any other explanations for the strong man?" Lin Sanchuan said with a smile: "I just think that this crepe word is too troublesome! What old yin gives birth to little yang, in my opinion, it is almost the same to call the old man to go to the fire, it is easy to understand!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest laughed, and he said: "Old, forcing the fire to go to the fire? interesting, secretly combining the truth that yin and yang repel and merge with each other." ”

Lin Sanchuan's palms turned red, and he shouted, "Let Lao Tzu give you this bull's nose to go to the fire!" With that, Lin Sanchuan jumped down, and his palms covered the middle-aged Taoist Heavenly Spirit. The middle-aged Taoist priest waved the dust in his hand, and the three thousand white whiskers suddenly spiraled up, entangled Lin Sanchuan's arms like a spirit snake.

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw Lin Sanchuan to the ground. The round-faced Taoist priest on the side said in his heart: "Senior brother's cultivation has improved a lot. ”

Lin Sanchuan said with a smile: "If you want to kill or scrape the bull's nose, just come!"

Song Chengjun was stunned for a moment, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Isn't this a person from the Horse Mansion!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "Poor Dao just wants to talk to strong men. ”

Lin Sanchuan said with a smile: "Okay, today Lao Tzu will pass you a waterway at the door." ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "What is saliva......" Before the word was spoken, he saw Lin Sanchuan spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm towards him. The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "It turns out that this is the way of saliva, which is not interesting." It seems that the things in the stomach of the strong man have been used up, and only the four words of the old man can ask the calligrapher to write a picture and frame it, as for the rest, it is not enough to talk about. The strong man should listen to the poor Taoist lectures quietly. Lin Sanchuan was shocked in his heart, he saw that the thick phlegm he spit out suddenly stopped half a foot away from the middle-aged Taoist priest's door, and he could no longer enter an inch. Suddenly, the middle-aged Taoist priest pinched an orchid in his left hand and swung it to the right, and the thick phlegm was like a hail embedded deep into the trunk of a big tree.

Lin Sanchuan laughed dryly, laughing a little hairy, he said: "The Taoist is very capable, this is called a mouthful of spit and a nail, the kid is ugly." ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "Carving insect skills." ”

Before the middle-aged Taoist priest's words fell, the sound of breaking the sky exploded above his head. He lifted his left hand upward, and with a slight grip between his index and middle fingers, he caught a straight wooden stick between his fingers.

Then, his arm fell. A man fell to the bonfire, Lin Sanchuan looked back, and shouted: "Brother, what are you doing when you come back!" This man is not Jiang Chuzhe, who else can he be.

Jiang Chuzhe covered his chest with a faint ache and said with a smile: "My father taught me the four words of judging the situation today, which seems to be very useful. ”

It turned out that Jiang Chuzhe just pretended to leave, turned around and secretly hid in the shadows. When he saw that Lin Sanchuan was captured, he couldn't sit idly by, and in a moment of anger, he broke a branch and attacked.

Song Chengjun was shocked: "Young Master Jiang, you come to make ......" Song Chengjun didn't finish speaking, he understood in his heart, he said: "I turned out to be a bait, Young Master Jiang... Won't it just come to the two of you!" Jiang Chuzhe smiled and said, "Song Gongzi, I'm sorry, you are a righteous gentleman." Song Chengjun patted his leg and said: "You are really a fool, just rely on you, what can you do!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "Today is indeed an auspicious day for the zodiac, I didn't expect so many people to want to listen to the poor Taoist teachings." ”

The round-faced Taoist priest said lightly: "Senior brother, these people can't stay." ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest said lightly: "Naturally, when the poor Taoist finishes preaching, they will die without regrets." ”

Lin Sanchuan scolded: "You bull-nosed old way, do you want your broken face! The sermon you preach is like the fart released by the old lady who runs out of her belly, it stinks!"

The round-faced Taoist priest slapped Lin Sanchuan twice and shouted, "Shut up!" The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "It's okay, we should convince people with reason." ”

Lin Sanchuan's face suddenly swollen, and he scolded with a smile: "Hindsight!"

The round-faced Taoist priest stretched out his hand and slapped Lin Sanchuan twice, and the middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "Eh, it's unreasonable, we should convince people with reason." ”

Lin Sanchuan hated the itchy root of his teeth, but he had the mind that a hero would not suffer the loss in front of him, and he stopped scolding.

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled with satisfaction, and he said, "Come, poor Dao continues to preach." Yin gives birth to yin, yang gives birth to yang, old yin gives birth to less yang, old yang gives birth to less yin, only yin does not give birth, and solitary yang does not grow ......"

Jiang Chuzhe squinted his eyes, and suddenly, his left foot poked into the bonfire and slammed it out. When I landed, the sky was full of sparks. Seeing this, the group of Taoist priests sat firmly on Mount Tai, but the masked black-clothed people couldn't sit still, and they stood up one after another, wanting to avoid it. Seeing this, Jiang Chuzhe puffed up a breath of true qi, and suddenly pounced up, choking the neck of a black-clothed masked man. A look of panic suddenly appeared on Qundao's face, and the middle-aged Taoist priest frowned and said, "Jiang Gongzi, although Poor Dao likes to convince people with reason, he hates people to disturb me the most in his life. ”

Jiang Chuzhe smiled and said, "Dao Chief, I really don't mean to disturb your preaching. But when his life is at stake, he can only be rude. ”
