One hundred and forty-three clues
The group came to the Wu family ancestral hall, and Wu Zheng first asked Wu Gang to take Wu Youjin and his wife and Xie Miaoying to the side to appease them. First, he hadn't figured out how to deal with Wu Lishan in his heart, and second, he was anxious to hear the results of interrogating Liu Chaofeng.
Figuring out the purpose of Sima Cen Ji to mediate the century-old grievances between Wu and Liu, as well as hearing more news about Wu Jizong and others from Liu Chaofeng, is the top priority. Otherwise, I still can't get the slightest answer to the many questions that plague my heart.
Following Ning Yunju into the hall on the side of the Wu family ancestral hall, that is, in the room where he was seriously injured and Wu Lishan accidentally fell to death his grandmother, he saw Liu Chaofeng being guarded by four officials.
After Ning Yunju sat on the top position, Wu Zheng sat under his left hand. At this time, Zhong Liqun, who came to serve on Ning Yun's right hand, shouted to Liu Chaofeng:
"Why don't you meet Lord Ning of the Eight Mansions, Lord Wu of Linshan Mansion?"
Liu Chaofeng didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the two of them, and said:
"Liulinbao Lizheng, the patriarch of the Liu clan, the grass man Liu Chaofeng knocked to see the patrol and the uncle. ”
"Get up and talk back. ”
"Master Xie. ”
Unlike Wu Zheng, who had seen Liu Chaofeng twice, once under the ring by the Nanxi River, and once at the eastern foot of Dongshan Mountain, Liu Chaofeng fought Wu Youren alone. Although dozens of disciples were sent to search for him, Liu Chaofeng didn't know Wu Zheng, the cowherd back then.
So after standing up, I couldn't help but look at the cowherd who was bound to win by the Wu and Liu families back then, and Wu Zheng, the current school and school politician.
"Zhong Liqun, you come to ask. ”
"Yes. ”
"Liu Chaofeng. ”
"The grass people are here. ”
"Recently, Yin Sima Cen Ji of the Shan Mansion can you send someone to contact you. ”
"If you go back to your lordship, this is true. ”
"Let's talk about it. ”
"Yes. Seven days ago in the evening, a person who claimed to be the master of Linshan Mansion named Zhao Tuo. Accompanied by Wu Gan, the original private school teacher of Wujiabao, he entered Liulinbao and named the grass people.
After meeting and greeting, Zhao Tuo handed over a letter from Yin Sima Cen Ji to the grass people, and the meaning of the letter was very clear, that is, to send Zhao Tuo to come with the assistance of Wu Gan. Resolve the century-old grievances between the Wu and Liu families. ”
As he spoke, Liu Chaofeng took out Sima Cenji's letter from his arms. It was handed to Ning Yunju through Zhong Liqun. Ning Yunju unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Wu Zheng, who was in charge.
"Liulinbao Liu Clan's righteous Liu Chaofeng Taijian. ”
Just by glancing at the desk of the letter, Wu Zheng was a little surprised, the dignified Wupin Mansion Yin actually called Li Zheng, who was not an official of the imperial court, and Liu Chaofeng, who was also the patriarch of the Liu clan, was really a bit abnormal.
"I heard that the Wu and Liu families have been discordant for a hundred years, and the students are really puzzled. ”
Student?Sima Cen Ji called himself a student to Liu Chaofeng?!
Seeing this, Wu Zheng subconsciously looked up and glanced at his uncle Ning Yunju, who was also looking sideways. I also saw a hint of incomprehension in his eyes.
"Wu Liu's two families are separated by a mountain, and the food and drink are one side of the water and soil, which is really a hometown, and they should be old friends, but because one of the ancestors is not angry, it will cause trouble to the children and grandchildren, and even the children of the two families have been fighting continuously for a hundred years, and there have been casualties from time to time. The students are parents and officials in the mountains, and they often worry about the worries of the people and can't sleep at night. When I was thinking about the suffering of Li Shu, I thought about it during the day.
I couldn't bear to let the Wu and Liu families succeed each other, so I sent Mr. Zhao Tuo to go. Mr. Wu Gan of Wujiabao assisted from the side, hoping to resolve the century-old grievances between Wujiabao and Liulinbao. ”
The payment is: student Sima Cenji. It was exactly ten days ago.
Putting down the letter in his hand, it is not difficult for Wu Zheng to draw such a conclusion from the word "accidental news" in it, that Sima Cenji did not know about the entanglement between Wujiabao and Liulinbao in advance, and it is very likely that he did not even know about the existence of such two forts. In other words, he only recently learned about this from Luo Jiutian and Wu Gan, who had taken refuge in Linshan Mansion.
"Willow is in charge. What else did Zhao Tuo say?"
Wu Zheng put the letter in his hand on the coffee table next to him and asked in person.
"Back to Lord Wu's words, Zhao Tuo and Wu Gan said that there was only one purpose, that is, to hope that Wu Liu would end the fight and hug together. and form a hall. ”
Ning Yunju and Wu Zheng did not interrupt Liu Chaofeng's words, but listened quietly.
"And promised the grass people, as long as they let go of the grievances against the Wu clan in their hearts, there will be a deputy hall master left to the Liu family in the hall established in the future. ”
"Who will be the hall master?"
"No, the Wu family is only the deputy hall master, as for who will be the hall master, the grass people have also asked. However, neither of them gave a clear answer, only saying that they naturally knew afterwards. ”
"Since it's a hall, then there must be a higher-level organization, what is it?"
"I didn't say it, but I just promised a lot of benefits to the grass people. ”
"What's in it for all good?"
"No taxes, no labor, every month there is silver rice, and according to the number of disciples joined by the Wu and Liu families, everyone has a share. ”
"What else?"
No, the two left Liulinbao that night, saying that they were coming to Wujiabao to wait for news. ”
"How did you reply?"
"The grass people said that they needed to be considered, and they needed to consult with their clansmen. ”
Judging from Liu Chaofeng's performance during the last arrest of Wu Zheng, this person should be quite shrewd. Naturally, there was no flaw in Liu Chaofeng's words tonight. Therefore, Ning Yunju and Wu Zheng both felt that Liu Chaofeng should be telling the truth.
Knowing that it was impossible to get more information on this matter, Wu Zheng changed the topic and asked:
"Master Liu, how much do you know about Wu Jizong's past?"
"I wonder what aspect of Wu Jizong's past Lord Wu wants to know?"
For example, when he was young, did he travel abroad, did he apprentice outside, and who did he worship as a teacher, etc. ”
"The grass people know a thing or two about this. ”
Wu Zheng couldn't help but move in his heart, and immediately asked:
"What do the Liu family know?"
"Wu Jizong was not born in Wujiabao, but when his father traveled when he was young, he was taken by a large family under the coincidence of Hejian Mansion and merged into his family. It wasn't until she gave birth to the three Wu Jizong brothers that she dragged her family back to Wujiabao. When he returned, Wu Jizong was already five years old. ”
"Can the Liu family know about the situation of Wu Jizong's family?"
"I only heard that it is a native of Qinghe County, Hejian Prefecture, surnamed Cui, and it is a famous local family, and I don't know the rest. ”
Is it the Cui family of the four great families of Tiezhang and Cui Yun?
"And then?"
"Wu Jizong has shown a talent for martial arts beyond ordinary Wu family children since he was a child, and he is also regarded by the Wu family as a hope for the future. Therefore, whether it is learning martial arts or literature, the Wu family has spared no effort in Wu Jizong. ”
"Come on, take a seat, serve tea. ”
After all, Liu Chaofeng is also in his seventies, and since he is so cooperative, he can't always let people stand. (To be continued.) )
