Chapter 142: Old Rhyme and New Song (1)
On June 21 of the third year of Xianping, it was three o'clock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although it was only a day apart, the atmosphere in Jiangning City was different, which did not mean that there were many fewer patrol guards, after all, the "attack on officials" that night made Jiangnan Mansion have to strengthen Jiangning's defense. The difference in this atmosphere lies in the fact that the night raiders did not patrol the streets and alleys tonight, and some well-informed people also learned from some catchers that the newly appointed chief of the Su Cha had ordered the cancellation of patrols and left the night patrols entirely to the local army.
However, how could the local Xiang army think that these arrests would be carried out diligently and diligently? The two matters of the Great Song Dynasty military and criminal punishment were already divided and ruled, and even the prefect of the Shouzhou Prefecture did not have the power to directly order the Xiang army, and the criminal affairs were also freely put in charge of the criminal department.
After all, the affairs of the rivers and lakes are not controlled by the army, nor can they be controlled by the army, since the incident in Yangzhou, the Xiang army is even more respectful of the rivers and lakes, after all, those Jianghu people in the eyes of many local generals in the Great Song Dynasty, are the masters who do not want their lives, and even the prison army dares to kill, Yangzhou has been less than half a year, and everyone has not forgotten the matter of Lu Xun and Lu Gonggong.
Because of this, except for the strict patrol near the city gate, they were so peaceful in all parts of the city that they didn't even stretch out a little finger. In the words of Su Cha, the newly appointed chief catcher of Jiangning, "they can't even in the city." Jiangning Mansion handed over the patrol in the city to the Xiang Army, which is equivalent to telling everyone to stop patrolling tonight. Judging from the fact that Jiangning City suddenly closed its gates yesterday morning and strictly inspected the residents and cargo ships in the city, many Jiangning people and small merchants seem to know something. So tonight's Jiang Jing quietly, although there were no officers and soldiers patrolling the street, but everyone also returned home and closed the door before the sun sank as before.
Of course, these ordinary people naturally didn't know that the patrolmen in official clothes patrolled night and night in order to catch those who were related to the Situ family. After all, Sikong Gu and Chu Zhongcheng had already ordered someone to release the words, and the "evil thief Liu Yidao" was now hiding in Jiangning. This so-called "Liu Yidao" is a character made up by Chu Zhongcheng casually, in order to make the people feel that "Liu Yidao" is a character, Chu Zhongcheng also made up many stories about Liu Yidao.
For example, there are "forty thieves" under Liu Yidao, and there are three evil women in the family, among which the eldest wife is a wandering ghost, the second wife is a monster covered in scales, and the third wife is a blind old witch who lives forever......
Although many people don't believe this story, everyone feels that there is no wind and no waves, this Liu Yidao has been rumored to be so fierce and vicious, so he must also be a great villain who has done a lot of evil and has strong martial arts. In the end, even many people in the rivers and lakes thought so, and some people even came to Sikong Gu with the information of "Liu Yidao", thinking that they would vote for their name, but in the end they were bombarded out by Sikong Gu.
At the third quarter of the day before dawn and the curfew was not yet opened, the entire Jiangning Mo said that there was no bright light, but there was no spark at all, which was something that had never happened in Jiangning City since the bloodstained long street that night.
And at a city ferry not far from the West City Gate, a man who was already a little impatient was observing everything with a little moonlight, and at this moment the sky seemed to be a little white with fish belly, Jiangning in summer, the sky would always light up earlier, even if it was the end of summer.
"'Jiangning's No. 1 Master' is really trustworthy. A low, eerie voice reached the ears of the man, who was already a little agitated.
The voice came from behind, leaning on the willow and standing, holding the Chu family's heirloom sword Aotian Sword in his arms, Chu Cang shook suddenly, his body rushed forward, but his legs quickly changed positions, and in less than a breath, the Aotian Sword in Chu Cang's hand had pierced into the willow tree, and the sharp blade passed through the willow tree that the two of them could hug, and the willow leaves were also rustled by this sword.
"Good kung fu!" the man behind the willow tree praised, and from the direction from which his voice came out, he seemed to be motionless, and regarded Chu Cang's sword as nothing.
However, Chu Cang only heard who the owner of this voice was this time, this kind of loud voice, he had only heard it from one person's mouth, in this silent and unmanned ferry, this voice was very loud in the silence of the surroundings, and Chu Cang understood why he lowered his voice to speak.
"Third Master Jia, we agreed to meet here at night, right?"
"Naturally, it's night, you see that the sun hasn't risen yet, how can it not be considered night?" Jia San chuckled into Chu Can's ears, Chu Can's cheeks twitched slightly, and then pulled Ao Jiantian out of the trunk, and the friction sound of the sword being retracted and sheathed came out, which seemed to be venting his dissatisfaction.
After coming into contact these days, Chu Cang already has some understanding of the people on Sikong Gu's side, Jia San's face is seven points similar to Sikong Gu, and his style of acting is as unreasonable as Sikong Gu, but people can't fault it.
Chu Cang didn't have the idea of continuing to argue with Jia San, and immediately spared the willow tree, staring at Jia San who was possessed by a hat and cloak in the dark night, and there was a wave of disgust in his heart.
"That girl......"
"Does Chu Daxia want to take her away personally, or do you plan for me to place her in a place where she will no longer appear in the rivers and lakes?"
This style of getting straight to the point, not dragging mud and water, and going straight to the point with a single knife is also very similar to Sikong Gu, Chu Cang only feels that he is not facing Jia San, but Sikong Gu.
"Naturally, it's handed over to me to dispose of, isn't this an agreement between us?"
"Just hide it from Da Shao, where does Chu Daxia want to hide her?"
"This has nothing to do with the third master. ”
"The problem is less...... The head of the house asked me to ask. ”
"What?" Chu Cang was taken aback, he thought that the secret agreement with Jia San was not known to the third person, and this method of transferring flowers and trees was also very exquisite, but he didn't expect Jia San to inform Sikong Gu of this matter.
The head of the family also felt that she didn't have to die for the time being, and this was also a decision made by the head of the family after asking Situ Song to meet with Zhao. ”
Chu Cang only felt that he had fallen into a trap, and a three-zhang high flame burst out of his heart, and he shortened the distance between him and Jia San with an arrow step, and tightly grabbed Jia San's thick and big cloak, but perhaps because of the height gap, Chu Cang did not lift Jia San, who was half a head taller than him.
"Then why did you use her as a threat to negotiate the so-called conditions in the first place?"
"I've always been acting on orders, why is Chu Daxia so excited?"
Jia San's unfazed attitude made Chu Cang even more angry, he let go of the hand that grabbed Jia San, turned around and left.
"That girl now lives in Li's shop in the west of the city, which was arranged by the head of the family, and now that she thinks about it, she hasn't slept yet, if Chu Daxia doesn't mind, maybe he can go and see her. ”
Jia San's voice came from behind him, but Chu Cang turned a deaf ear, with the slight glow of a few stars, Jia San only had a slightly high back in his eyes, and the direction he was moving in was Li Jiapu. (To be continued.) )
