Chapter 32 Drinking the Wine in the Cup

Kaifeng is worthy of being the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, prosperous like a brocade, people come and go, cars and horses are like carp crossing the river, countless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoHere, you can't see the shadow of the drought in the Central Plains, let alone the Khitan soldiers pressing the border, and the people are panicked. Only when you arrive in Kaifeng City can you truly feel the wealth of the Central Plains.

The city wall of Kaifeng City is also much higher than all the city walls that Li Fengyun saw along the way, it is five or six zhang high, and the tall city wall shows the grandeur of this capital.

There is no shortage of water in Kaifeng City, it is on the edge of the Yellow River, the Bianhe River flows slowly through the city, and the people in the city do not feel the drought of the Central Plains.

The first time Li Fengyun came to Kaifeng, he never thought that there was such a magnificent city in the world, his eyes widened, he looked around, and said: "What a big village." ā€

Du Ruyue glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Tu Baozi!"

Mo smiled lightly and said, "Turn around an alley again, and it's my house!"

After returning to Mo's Mansion and settling Li and Du, Mo Qingyan hurriedly went to the yamen to explain his errand, and did not come back until evening, his face was a little gloomy.

Du Ruyue asked, "Brother Mo, what happened? Isn't it that someone in the yamen is deliberately trying to embarrass you?"

Li Fengyun said loudly: "Which thief bird is so bold and dares to bully me Li Fengyun's eldest brother, Brother Mo, who do you say, Lao Tzu will drag him out and beat him up." ā€

Mo shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "No, I'm just worried about business, second brother and third sister, you first came to Kaifeng, how about the eldest brother take you to Kaifeng's famous Taibai Building to wash the dust today?"

Mo Qingyan went back to the back house to change his clothes, explained a few words to his wife and sister-in-law, and then took the two out of Mo's mansion.

Taibai Lou's wine and food are quite famous in Kaifeng, it is said that the boss still has a painting of the poet Li Bai's real ink treasure, but the shopkeeper regards it as a treasure, the secret is not revealed, and few people can see it.

The three of them sat down at a window on the second floor, ordered a table of seasonal wine and food, and drank slowly.

After saying a few words, Du Ruyue pulled the topic to Mo Qingyan's errand again, Mo Qingyan glanced at her, knowing that she cared about herself, and sighed and said: "Well, there is nothing to keep secret now, all the gentlemen in the court don't take it seriously, why bother me with a little catch?"

Tilting his neck, drinking the wine in the cup, and putting down the chopsticks, Mo said lightly: "This matter has to start with the map of the deployment of soldiers and horses in the world."

The map of the deployment of soldiers and horses in the world that I found in Qingping Town is actually a copy, along with the original, which was originally kept in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, who knew that a document in the Yamen of the Ministry of War was bought, and this copy was stolen, and he was about to go to hand it over, but somehow he revealed his wealth, and was seen by Zhang Chongshan, which was the Jiangyang thief I went to Qingping Town to hunt down.

Zhang Chongshan thought that the clerk had some valuable treasure hidden in his arms, so he became greedy, injured the clerk, snatched the picture, and fled, but this alarmed the patrol battalion on the street.

The patrol battalion caught the document, but left the person who was going to be handed over to him, at this time, the military department also found that the copy of the world's soldiers and horses deployment map was lost, and after checking and checking, it suspected that the document was on the body of the document, and the document knew that it could not escape a catastrophe, and could not withstand the interrogation, so it explained the whole story.

It turned out that this person was a gambler, owed a large amount of money in the gambling house, and was cornered by the gambling house. At this time, the man who had traded with him appeared, instigated him to steal the map of the world's soldiers and horses, and promised to give him a hundred taels of gold if he succeeded.

If it falls into the hands of the Khitans in the north, then the reality of our Central Plains and the situation of guarding in various places will all be known by the Khitans, and the Khitans can completely fight the virtual with the real and break through each other, and the upcoming battle between the Central Plains and the Khitan, our soldiers will be beaten everywhere, and there will be no chance of winning this national war.

Because of this incident, the emperor was furious, and several officials of the Ministry of War were dismissed and investigated, and the case also fell on the head of Dali Temple.

Dali Temple did not dare to slack off, and sent all kinds of arrests to investigate everywhere, and soon found that the picture fell into the hands of Zhang Chongshan, and Zhang Chongshan had left Kaifeng two days ago and disappeared. ā€

"Then how did you learn that Zhang Chongshan went to Qingping Town?" Du Ruyue asked.

"Guess," Mo said lightly, "more than a month later, there is still no clue about this case, only found that Zhang Chongshan went all the way to the north, and it is likely that he has gone to the Khitan. Dali Temple had lost confidence in solving this case, so they sent me over to see if Zhang Chongshan was hiding there, and if so, I wanted to destroy or bring back this picture anyway. In the future, you also know, as soon as I arrived in Qingping Town, I was drugged by my second brother. Speaking of this, Mo smiled bitterly.

"Zhang Chongshan is dead, and the picture has also been destroyed, isn't this matter over? How can there be twists and turns again?" Du Ruyue asked again, "Could it be that Dali Temple doesn't believe what you say?"

"End?" Mo snorted coldly, "Dali Temple really wants to end this matter, more things are better than less things, but how can this matter be ended here?" Yes, Zhang Chongshan is dead, and the picture has also been destroyed, but the mastermind who directed this matter has not yet been found, and if this person is not found, it will always be a big trouble for me in the Central Plains." ā€

"Isn't this the order of the Khitans?" Du Ruyue said in surprise.

"No," Mo shook his head lightly, "The report of Dali Temple did push this matter to the Khitans, but those of us who handled the case knew that this case had nothing to do with the Khitan at the beginning, and the secret report from the Khitan also confirmed that the Khitan also took action after learning about the matter." The case has been investigated to such a point, Dali Temple actually decided not to investigate, and I was not allowed to investigate any further, I really don't understand, what do those people who live above the palace think, and do they take the safety of the world to heart. Speaking of anger, Mo slammed the table lightly.

Li Fengyun persuaded: "Big brother, don't be annoyed, since you are not a Khitan, what is the use of others asking for this picture?"

"It's very useful!" Mo said in a low voice, "If someone wants to be the emperor, with this map, send a surprise army, bypass the princes of Zhulu, and surprise attack Kaifeng, what will be the result? Or simply dedicate this map to the Khitans, as a qualification for promotion, it will also get great benefits." If these people let him go, sooner or later he will be a problem for my confidants in the Central Plains. ā€

Hearing this, Du Ruyue's face changed greatly.

Li Fengyun said: "Who is the emperor, it is our bird business? Big brother, you think too much." ā€

Mo lightly slapped his palm on the table, his chest was full of energy, and he said loudly: "In this world, there are too many wolf ambitions, who would have thought that these thousands of Li people? Hmph, you can't drink enough, you can't drink the wine in the cup, and you can't kill the thief's head!"

"It's a good saying, 'If you can't drink it, the wine in the cup, if you can't finish it, you will be a thief'. Suddenly, someone clapped his hands and praised.

The three of them looked up and saw that a man in white was raising a glass to them to drink at two tables, and a man in black robe next to him was also looking at them.

Mo lightly said that he likes to make friends by nature, and when he heard this, he tilted his neck, drank a full glass, and said loudly: "Two friends, since they are destined to meet, why don't you drink together, wouldn't it be happy?"

The man in white got up and arched his hand, "It's so bothering, that's what I mean!" and the man in black robe walked towards Mo Qingyan's side.
