Chapter 78: Thousand Dances
City Lord Chi Tianqing beckoned everyone to the council hall and sat down around the round table.
The ghost general Xiang Yu licked his lips and said, "I feel very thirsty, the city lord of Chi quickly took out good wine and tea to entertain us." ”
Chi Tianqing said with a smile: "This is natural, please wait a while, I will arrange it." ”
After a while, a pot of fragrant spiritual tea was served. Everyone chatted freely while drinking tea.
Beifeng Yang said: "The incident of the poisoning of the Chi City Lord this time should arouse our attention, who poisoned it and how it was poisoned, we must find out clearly, if it is not investigated, then it may be poisoned again next time." ”
Qiu Feijian nodded in agreement and said, "This person must be found, otherwise it will threaten the lives of everyone here at any time." Although his words are a bit alarmist, they still make sense when you think about it.
Beifeng raised his eyebrows and frowned and said, "City Lord Chi think about it, what strangers have been in and out of the City Lord's Mansion in the past few days. ”
When Chi Tianqing heard this, he seemed to remember something, and showed an expression of sudden realization, he said: "I remember, a few days ago, the housekeeper invited Hua Qianwu, who has excellent skills, to come to the City Lord's Mansion to perform his skills, and by the way, General Qiu was also present that day. ”
"Yes, I also remembered, tsk, that Hua Qianwu is really a masterpiece of color and art, but that day she only played one song, dedicated a dance and left, it seems that there is no chance to be poisoned. Qiu Feijian said suspiciously, as if remembering the scene of that day and showing an intoxicated expression.
Beifeng Yang hurriedly said: "I have a gut feeling that this woman is not simple, playing music and dancing, in fact, it is possible to send colorless and tasteless Meng Zhi Luo Yan to you, you think about it and see if there is such a possibility." ”
Chi Tianqing showed a reminiscing expression on his face, and he said: "It's not impossible, she was good at dancing with long sleeves that day, and she was closer to us a few times, and she only felt the fragrant breeze blowing in her face, maybe there was Meng Zhiluo Yan among them." But we can't blame her without evidence. ”
The ghost general Lu Bu suddenly said at this time: "Yes, I think this matter must be investigated and evidence must be obtained." ”
......
The five of them discussed for a while, and Beifeng Yang left the ghost general Xiang Yu and the ghost general Lu Bu in the city lord's mansion, and he left the city lord's mansion and returned to the Jiangchang tavern.
Suddenly, I saw two familiar figures by the window, it was Chu Yifeng and Bao Hui.
"Brother Fengyang, come here!" Chu Yifeng shouted loudly.
Beifeng Yang quickly walked over and sat down, and said, "Hehe, what are Brother Yifeng's plans for today?"
Chu Yifeng looked at Bei Feng Yang and said, "Brother Feng Yang, you are not simple, you have been acting alone since you came here, I went to your room to find you several times, but no one has me." ”
Beifeng Yang thought to himself, what this guy said was also the truth, he came to this Jiangchang City, he had been busy, and said at the moment: "I'm really sorry, I've never seen such a prosperous place, I can't help but wander around, but it makes Brother Yifeng laugh." ”
Chu Yifeng glanced at Beifeng Yang seriously, as if to see the truth of what he said, and then said with a smile: "It's not a way for you to wander around like this, you can't find a clue, so it's better for Bao Hui to give you an introduction." ”
Beifeng Yang looked at Bao Hui, thinking that this person had stuck to Chu Yifeng since he was eyeing him, and said immediately: "Please also tell Brother Bao what is the new news, and what is interesting here?"
Bao Hui nodded respectfully and said: "Two sons, there is news from Xia Jingcheng today, the current Holy Admiral will hold an examination for all the virtuous talents who have the order to recruit talents in a month, and there will be a palace examination after the examination. The outstanding ones are selected for important positions, and those with ordinary performance will also be arranged for official positions at the corresponding level of the meritocracy order, but it is estimated that they are also ordinary positions. ”
Chu Yifeng said happily: "Brother Fengyang, since we have a month, we don't have to be in a hurry to hurry, it's just right to go all the way upstream." ”
Beifeng Yang thought to himself, this Chu Yifeng is really the son of the family, he only knows how to travel in the mountains and rivers, anyway, he is also eating and drinking, and said at the moment: "Fengyang is all up to Brother Yifeng, the so-called reading thousands of books is better than traveling thousands of miles, traveling in the mountains and rivers, Feng Yang is happy." ”
Bao Hui continued: "The two sons from here to Xiajing City, all the way to the beautiful scenery, if you can travel both, it is a wonderful thing in life. Just now the north prince asked, what is the fun here, for Jiangchang City, the river painting boat to find beauty is a very fun thing, recently there is another painting boat on the river, called "flower dance boat", which is called the flower thousand dance, color and art are complete, many officials in the city are invited to go to the house to perform skills, now the reputation is rising, need to go through the test to listen to the song and dance on the boat, every day after noon, there are many sons and brothers lined up to take the exam. ”
Chu Yifeng was excited when he heard this, and he was eager to try, and said at the moment: "There is such a person, I must try it and meet him." ”
Beifeng Yang was even more shocked, this flower is a thousand dances, I want to investigate, why not take this opportunity to take a look. said at the moment: "Since Brother Yifeng is interested, we will accompany Brother Yifeng for a trip and have a long experience." ”
Bao Hui said aloud: "The two sons are really wonderful people, we will set off after eating this meal, don't be too anxious, now after all, the sun is shining, it is not a way to stand by the river and wait, and drink slowly, and go again after two hours." ”
The three of them drank slowly, and waited until the sun was setting in the west, and then they got up and walked to the river.
The breeze on the riverside is breezy, the willows are still there, and there are painting boats on the river one after another, and each painting boat is marked with a name, such as "Jade Flower Boat", "Dream Boat", "Jade Boat" and so on. In addition to the name of the painting boat, some painting boats have better pairs, words and sentences, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
Bao Hui then said: "Do you see those words or words and paintings, those are the exam questions, if anyone answers correctly, or draws correctly, and can afford to pay the silver taels, you can get together on the boat, as for whether the boat is listening to songs or dancing, or even becoming a guest of the scene, it is not known." ”
Beifeng Yang then understood, it turned out to be some anagrams, riddles, couplets, poems and other topics, in front of the drive over a "Yu Yan Fang", there is a maid standing quietly, holding a wooden card, the above topic is: good sentence answer, the previous sentence, know the face of the person does not know the heart, please answer the latter sentence.
Beifeng Yang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this is too simple, he saw that there were really people on the side racking their brains, thinking hard, and he couldn't help but sigh for these people in his heart.
