The sun had not yet risen, and the morning mist was filled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chris stepped out of Jufeng Building and walked down the straight, long street.

The shops in the capital have always been open all night and do not close at night, but Qingzhou City is still a little worse, and the shops on both sides have not yet opened. But that didn't stop Chris, who still admired the beautiful city with interest.

Dayu water division Kyushu, Qingzhou is one of the ancient Kyushu, the city streets are flat, the houses are neat, black tiles, green bricks, red columns, white walls, all reveal the charm of ancient elegance and the imprint of historical precipitation. Sure enough, as the owner of Jufeng Building said, the storefronts near here are only stores that operate the four treasures of the study, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the doors of every house are all called "Zibao Pavilion, Yin Gu Xuan, and Bao Yi Zhai".

Chris was the only one on the street. Chris had an awkward incident because of what happened last night, and ordered him not to be with him all day today. Xiong Daiying had no choice but to become a shadow again, following Chris closely, but he didn't dare to show himself.

Chris walked to the Wannian Bridge outside the north gate, and looked at the single-arch wooden bridge from afar, which looked like a rainbow and was very spectacular. Chris poked his head out of the bridge as he walked up the bridge. The two banks of the huge stone solid river, dozens of big trees intersect, the unique wood pieces are riveted, the structure is wonderful, the bridge flies on it, the water flow under the bridge is turbulent, it is really hard to imagine that such a project is built by both hands. Chris couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients, such a wooden arch bridge, she had only seen it in books, and now she can see it with her own eyes, which is really rare.

Chris didn't know that the "Wannian Bridge" was actually the first wooden arch bridge in Chinese history, and the Hongqiao in Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map" was actually based on the bridge on the Nanyang River in Qingzhou.

Chris watched with relish, and she leaned on the railing of the bridge and walked towards the center of the bridge.

In the fog, suddenly Chris saw a figure, there was someone who got up so early for morning exercise like herself? She walked over, and heard the man sigh and said, "Yes and no!"

The man seemed to lean out again, ready to step out of the bridge.

Chris shouted, "Wait, man!"

She strode quickly, and when she was already in front of her, she grabbed the man, who staggered and almost fell under the bridge, and he quickly clung to the railing of the bridge.

Both of them let out a long sigh before Chris could speak. The man suddenly grabbed her, showed an unbelievable expression, stared at her face and looked at her, and suddenly said, "Really, falsely?"

Chris was confused and wondered, "What is not, true and false?"

The man suddenly shouted, "Yes!

"Why are you so shocked, what can't you think of, you have to find a short-term view?"

The man suddenly smiled, laughed out loud, and said, "No, yes!" He jumped off the railing of the bridge with one leg in one step, straightened his clothes first, and then stood on the bridge at the back end.

On closer inspection, Chris saw that he was well-dressed, dressed in a gray robe, a middle-aged man with good facial features and a slight white beard, and his face was very long, and he had a horse's face. The eyes are huge, but the bags are also huge, and there are big provocative ears, and the hairline is a bit patheticly back.

The man saluted first and said, "Childe has misunderstood, the contemptible person doesn't want to seek death!" ”

When Chris heard the music, he said in his heart: I misunderstood the daring love, and almost pushed him off the bridge, she asked rhetorically: "Why do you want to step out of the bridge early in the morning when there are no people, I naturally think you want to throw yourself into the river!"

Ma Mo said: "It's the fault of the contemptible people that let the son worry! In fact, the contemptible people are waiting for people here!"

"Wait for someone?" she was a little puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "You wait for someone to wait for someone, why are you still screaming so badly, I think you have something you can't think of." ”

"Well, the contemptible man has stood here for two days and two nights, and he hasn't left a single step. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see anyone to wait, and I thought I couldn't see anyone, so I was a little discouraged, so I shouted two voices to vent. ”

It's weird, Chris thought. Why did this person stand here stupidly and wait for two days, and said that he never left, so he didn't eat, sleep, or go to the toilet?

The look of disbelief was fleeting on Chris's face.

Ma Mo explained: "It is true that the contemptible person has not eaten a grain of rice, not a drop of water has been drunk, and not a single soak of urine has been spilled. ”

Now Chris felt even more incredible, she thought that she had been able to pass through the wind without waves, as long as her face did not show it, no one could know what she was thinking, but now she was guessed by what she was thinking.

"The contemptible person's surname is Ma Mingmo, and the words are thick. Ma Mo met Chris's gaze and asked, "Dare to ask Childe's surname?"

Chris clenched his fists and replied, "Under Ouyang Peak." ”

Ma Mo smiled and said, "Ma did have something he couldn't think of just now, but as soon as Ouyang Gongzi appeared, he thought about everything!"

"Me?"

"Actually, don't hide it from your son, Ma is in Huaizhou. ”

It turned out to be an official, Huaizhou? Chris heard that he was serving in Huaizhou, so he felt a little familiar, and was busy searching in his mind.

"The contemptible friend is Longtu Gong Lu Xu, and he has a Xixi under his account, named Zhang Boduan. He paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang has studied all kinds of ancient and modern arts, and is proficient in all kinds of arts, and he is a strange person in the world, and I often ask him about the practice of Danfa. ”

The other party said these things incompatibly, Chris had no clue at all, and felt that the other party was a weirdo.

Ma Mo continued: "A few days ago, Lu Gong moved to Jinzhou, and Mr. Zhang followed him to his post, passing through Huaizhou, to visit my house. Mr. Zhang told me that a while ago, he was instructed by a master in Luoyang, and said that within two years, he would meet a 'destined person', understand the principle of lifelessness, and understand the way of mixed yuan. I naturally congratulated him, but Mr. Zhang congratulated me in turn, saying that I would meet the 'destined person' before him in two days, and then I would travel all over the world and make great efforts. Ma Mo looked at Chris with his eyes and said softly: "He said, I have to go to Qingzhou and wait on this 10,000-year-old bridge, so I can naturally meet the 'destined person'!"

Chris treated this miraculous episode as if he was listening to a story, and he didn't realize who this "destined person" was talking about.

Ma Mo said: "I waited for two days and two nights, where did I see any destined people, passers-by thought I had a heart disease. I was worried, whether this thing was true or false, right or wrong, but what Mr. Zhang said in the past must come true, never wrong, I was worried, maybe I set off late, and missed the fateful person? Just when I was upset, the son appeared. ”

Chris reacted at this time, she pointed to the tip of her nose and asked, "'Destined person' shouldn't mean me, right?"

Nodding, Ma Mo looked at the little boy in brocade in front of him with great interest, in fact, just now, he who had been waiting for no result began to suspect that he was destined to meet someone, but who knew that at this time, people appeared.

This thing sounded mysterious and mysterious, Chris was curious, and at the same time, she was also suspicious, what is the guidance of a master? Could it be that someone arranged for him to come to see him? At this time, the brain completed the search instructions given before, and suddenly Chris's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "You are Huaizhou Tongju Ma Mo!"

Ma Mo said in his heart: I didn't tell the other party about my official position, how could he know? But maybe he knew it from the other side, or he inferred from my speech and demeanor, how I dressed?

Chris also said in a tricky way: "Master Ma, I know a secret of yours. ”

Ma Mo didn't speak, leaned forward, wanting to hear what secrets this handsome young man knew, and more importantly, he wanted to know if this person was the so-called "destined person".

Chris looked around, except for her and Ma Mo, where was there anyone, but she was mysterious, and deliberately lowered her voice: "Jade Buddha Hall!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Mo's big eyes were a little bigger, and the big bags under his eyes also shook a few times.

Glancing at Ma Mo, sure enough, he noticed a look of surprise in his eyes, Chris was smug at the moment, and asked in his tone, "Yes or no?"

Ma Mo completely lost the ease of his talent, and looked at Chris incredulously, the matter of joining the Five Buddha Hall has always been a secret, and even his mother and wife don't know, why did Ouyang Gongzi know about it?

Seeing that the other party suddenly closed and was silent, the corners of Chris's mouth hooked up with a smile.

Ma Mo looked directly at the person in front of him, and unconsciously arched his hand: "Yes, yes!"

Chris didn't expect Mamer to admit it so happily.

There was a reason why she could remember that Ma Mo was a member of the Jade Buddha Hall so quickly. When she reported the name of Ouyang Feng, she remembered Ouyang Xiu, because she was framed by Jiang Zhiqi, many people were upset about Ouyang Xiu, and Ma Mo, who was the supervisor of the imperial history at the time, wrote to defend him, although the framing turmoil was quelled, but Ma Mo was also demoted to Huaizhou afterwards.

Chris's heart moved, she blinked, and said with a smile: "If I say 'I am the Queen Mother', you say 'true or false'?"

What an unusual question, Ma Mo was shocked, the "destined person" in Mr. Zhang's mouth was his nobleman, Ma Mo had been looking forward to meeting him, but now it was obviously beyond his expectations. As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw that the handsome face became serious, the deep eyes were sharp, and the aura exuded from the whole body was shocking.

Ma Mo subconsciously took a step back, and when he noticed his actions, he lowered his eyebrows. Zhang Boduan's words sounded in his ears again: "After meeting the 'destined person', you will traverse the four directions and make great efforts." If this is the case with his noble status, what are he hesitating about? Is it because he can't believe Mr. Zhang's words, or is it because he can't be loyal to women? He smiled sarcastically, laughing at his shallowness.

Seeing that Ma Mo didn't speak, Chris raised his eyebrows, raised his voice a few points, and asked, "What?"

Ma Mo's eyes rolled in all directions, and then he shook his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Oh?" Chris looked incredulous, "don't you think I'm crazy?"

"If a man had said what he had just said to me two days ago, I would have thought that man must be a madman. But I stood here for two days, and people said I was crazy, but I knew I wasn't. "Besides, the world is so big that there are no wonders, and you can't believe everything because of what you see with your eyes." ”

Chris said in his heart: This Ma Mo is courageous, capable, insightful, and available!

She no longer concealed her voice, and a gentle voice slowly poured out of her mouth: "You have always worked in Jingdong Road, do you know about Shamen Island?"

Hearing Chris's female voice, Ma Mo was shocked again, but he quickly calmed down and nodded.

Chris flicked the hem of her robe and walked under the bridge, she didn't slow down and wait for Mammer.

But Mamo quietly followed her. At this moment, he no longer had the slightest hesitation about the matter of "destined people", only one question hovered in his heart, "If Mr. Zhang knows that the 'destined person' is in Qingzhou, why don't he come to see him directly, but wait until two years later?"

The morning market has not yet opened, and there is a night tea seller on the side of the road is still open, Chris found a corner to sit down, a bamboo table, two bowls of hot tea soup, and the two sat down for a long talk.

Picking up a bowl casually, Chris drank it elegantly, she glanced at Ma Mo, he drank the tea soup with a calm expression, and his attitude towards himself did not change in the slightest.

Chris has paid special attention to some people in the Five Buddha Hall, and to be honest, she wants to cultivate some of her own power on the original basis. Ma Mo is one of these people, he studied from the famous teacher Shi Jie, Jin Shi and Later, and started as a small county lieutenant, in Chris's eyes, his resume is remarkable.

Chris opened his mouth and said, "I heard that when you were the magistrate of Yuncheng County, when you encountered an official who broke the law, you would also be punished with a cane?"

"Yes. Ma Mo nodded, unmoved on the surface, but in his heart he pondered the deep meaning behind the question.

As soon as Ma Mo took office, he changed the practice of "not punishing the doctor", and many officials were afraid of being punished, so they complained to Cao Tong, the Taishou of Yuncheng at that time, even in the face of Uncle Guo, he never gave in. This matter once caused trouble to Renzong, Renzong transferred Cao Tong away, and let Zhang Fangping take over as the Taishou of Yuncheng, Zhang Fangping was arrogant, but he was kind of to Ma Mo and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. After Yingzong succeeded to the throne, Zhang Fangping returned to the Hanlin Academy, and recommended Ma Mo to supervise the imperial history.

Ma Mo is straightforward, since he took office, he has relied on his actual performance, and he has been valued by Han Qi and invited him to join the Jade Buddha Hall, which even his old boss Zhang Fangping does not know. However, it is also because he is a person recommended by Zhang Fangping, not a descendant, and although the official position he holds is not out of Jingdong Zhulu, it is not a key department. There are still many people similar to him in the Jade Buddha Hall, and Chris felt at that time that Gao Tao was not exempt from vulgarity, and he still had the idea of being born in the portal.

Mamer's ability to defy the powerful and make bold reforms, with both means and principles, is what Chris values. He seems to be a bit of an eccentric person, but he is actually extremely shrewd, and Chris is very happy with him.

"Before you came out of Huaizhou, you were supervising the imperial history, responsible for inspecting hundreds of officials, patrolling counties and counties, correcting prisons, and purging the court. She continued: "Do you know that Li Qing, the lord of Shamen Island, as an official, ignores the laws of the Great Song Dynasty and treats human life as child's play?"

Ma Mo noticed the fierce aura in her eyes, and knew that she was going to deal with Li Qing, and the affairs of Salmon Island were finally taken care of, which was a great thing, Ma Mo's eyes flashed with a light, and said: "Salmon Island has always had the practice of torturing and killing prisoners. ”

"What?"

"Salmon Island has always been a place of exile for felons, and it was often overcrowded, and once a master came up with a bad trick to deal with the prisoners, he tortured and killed the prisoners, tied them to iron balls, and threw them into the sea to drown. ”

When Chris heard this, he frowned and asked, "The government doesn't care?"

"Although some ministers have been dismissed many times, several officials have restrained them many times, and some evil officials have also been punished. But as time went on, the island was cramped and crowded, and the new officials began to withhold supplies, and the prisoners on the island often did not even have enough food to eat. ”

Chris said in his heart that there have always been prison scandals, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the lord of these isolated islands is actually the king of an island.

In the past few years, the newly appointed lord Li Qing has thought of this new idea and invited the Jianghu sect to the island to fight with the prisoners on the island. Of course, the famous and decent people despise this, so the people who land on the island are all bad and greedy people...... The so-called seizure of the island is often a brutal killing. The old system of Salmon Island had a quota, and the surplus was thrown into the sea, and there were only a few dozen people, but Li Qing killed more than 700 people in the last meeting to seize the island. ”

Unaware of such a dire state on the island, Chris fell silent.

Ma Mo continued: "That evil lord Li Qing is so unscrupulous, all because he has already opened up the relationship between the top and bottom of Dengzhou City, and even the sailors are complicit and embarrassed with him. ”

Chris sent a large number of shadow guards to Dengzhou, not entirely to investigate the female killer Yun Zhuqi, but because of the Dengzhou Sailor.

Penglai Water City was called Dengzhou Port in ancient times, it is the first seaport in the north, as early as the Tang Dynasty, it was called the four major treaty ports with Quanzhou, Yangzhou and Mingzhou, and it was the main outlet to the sea for crossing Japan and Goryeo to the east. In the second year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty, Guo Zhigao, who was then the governor of Dengzhou, in order to resist the threat of Khitan attack, mobilized the military and civilians of the whole city to build a seaside village in Danya Mountain in the north of the city, called "Daoyu Village". Subsequently, he wrote to Renzong, suggesting the establishment of the position of "swordfish inspection", which was specifically responsible for training sailors. Since then, the swordfish war has rejected the Khitan in the north, and the shock has been in the east.

Chris's plan B was to open up a waterway to Siberia, or cross the Bering Strait, and it was she who fell in love with the Dengzhou sailors, and she wanted to personally inspect the ships of the sailors and the level of navigation skills of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, a voice in her heart was telling her, yes, you have to use all the resources at hand as soon as possible, find a way to return to the modern era, don't meddle in things, what do you have to do with the affairs of the people of the Song Dynasty? But when Ma Mo told her about the murder of prisoners on the island, another voice said to her, no, such an unfair thing happened in front of your eyes, can you turn a blind eye and let it go?

Calming down the two voices arguing in the body, she smiled meaninglessly, met Ma Mo's gaze, and said, "Don't hide it, sir, I have an acquaintance girl who was captured on Salmon Island. I was supposed to go to the island to save her in person, but listening to my husband, I also wanted to punish the bully. But except for one Li Qingyi, how can the old habit of torturing and killing prisoners on Salmon Island not be repeated, and can the gentleman have a way to do it once and for all?"

"The sailors and Salmon Island colluded with each other to help each other. Zai Xia felt that if he wanted to eradicate this cancer, he had to start with the sailor! It would not only make it convenient for Childe to go to the island to save people, but also ensure Childe's safety on the island. He firmly met Chris's eyes and said, "Eliminate evil! ”

When Chris heard this, she knew that Ma Mo had a plan in mind, so she said, "Sir, I would like to hear about it." ”
