Chapter 17: Qing Shichen
The scholar stared at the boats with a hint of sadness and a hint of obsession in his eyes.
Jiang Huai stood beside him, he looked into the distance, and sighed softly: "Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud." Take the second flower bush lazy review, half of the edge of the cultivation and half of the king. β
Hearing Jiang Huai's poems, the scholar looked back at Jiang Huai, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and then turned his head and continued to look at the riverside.
"The falling flowers have danced before the wind, and the river is still only flowing eastward. Ruthless is not like amorous bitterness, only lovesickness is endless. Jiang Huai continued to speak, and after the poem was finished, the scholar turned his head again.
This scholar's expression moved, he looked at Jiang Huai, and his self-deprecation was even stronger: "For more than ten years, there has been only a shadow left to drink alone." Recalling the past is empty, and the beauty is alone on the bank of the West River. Hahaha, hahaha. β
After the scholar finished speaking, he laughed wildly until he was out of breath from laughing, and then he stopped. There was a tear in his eyes, and his smile was miserable: "The childhood sweetheart for more than ten years, how can you say that you have changed your mind when you change your mind?"
Jiang Huai sighed faintly, he looked at the depths of the Xijiang River, those pleasure boats, and asked aloud, "Is she inside?"
"She's inside!" the scholar smiled bitterly, he looked at Jiang Huai, and his heart ached: "I saw with my own eyes that she was brought into it by a businessman, and I wanted to go in and question her, but she was thrown out." β
Jiang Huai touched his nose, he intuitively sensed that this person had something to do with that powerful ghost.
Jiang Huai touched the bracelet, he was about to take out a gold ingot, and suddenly found that his gold ingot had been used up.
Jiang Huai was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the scholar up, and said, "If Brother Tai doesn't mind, you can go to the restaurant with me tonight to rest for one night, and tomorrow I will take you there to ask her face to face." β
The scholar hesitated, and then rejected Jiang Huai's kindness: "Thank you, brother, but Xiaosheng is here today to wait for her to come out." β
Seeing this, Jiang Huai sneered, he looked at those cruise ships, and said coldly: "You wait for her to come out, do you know where and where?"
"Where does the ship have any other role, Xiao Sheng is puzzled, and he looks at Brother Tai for guidance. The scholar clasped his hands, and several books behind him were about to fall from the back of his head.
"It's a land of smoke and willows, do you understand?" Jiang Huai's voice came into the scholar's ears word by word. The scholar suddenly staggered, his face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were distracted: "Impossible, how is it possible?"
Jiang Huai continued: "How is it impossible, if you stand here and wait for her, you will not be able to see her until tomorrow at the earliest." β
"Impossible, this is impossible, even if she throws herself into the arms of others, she will not be a dust woman!" The scholar pushed Jiang Huai frantically, and the scrolls behind him were scattered on the ground, and the whole person looked like crazy.
Seeing this, Jiang Huai took out a meditation talisman from his bracelet and slapped it on the scholar, and then waited for the scholar to calm down.
There was a long time for tea before the scholar quieted down, he silently tidied up his clothes, and bowed: "Let Brother Tai see the joke, thank you Brother Tai for telling SΓΉ Xiaosheng about this matter, Qing Shichen is unforgettable." β
"Okay, if you believe me Jiang Huai, go back with me, and I'll take you into those cruise boats tomorrow. If you don't believe me, then you can only slowly gather enough gold and silver, and go where you want. β
Qing Shichen hesitated for a moment, then left with Jiang Huai.
When Jiang Huai left, he glanced at the depths of the arched bridge, and he didn't find Zhao Qi's figure: "That guy won't slip away by himself, right?"
Returning to the restaurant with Qing Shichen, Jiang Huai wanted some wine and food, so he sat in a corner with Qing Shichen.
Cao Wenjun quickly brought up the wine and food, she looked at Qing Shichen, and said suspiciously: "Jiang Huai, this person is your friend?"
Jiang Huai smiled and nodded, he pointed at Qing Shichen, and said loudly: "Qing Shichen, a very talented scholar, this imperial examination will definitely be titled on the gold list." β
Qing Shichen waved his hand in panic, "No, no, no, Jiang Huai is the real talent, and it is difficult for Xiaosheng to look at him." β
Cao Wenjun was even more puzzled, although she felt that Jiang Huai had some talent, but at this moment, there was actually a scholar who praised her, could it be that Jiang Huai was really talented and rich in five cars?
After Jiang Huai heard it, he smiled bitterly, what kind of talent is his half-baked plagiarism, but he is too lazy to praise each other with this scholar, his target is only that powerful ghost.
After drinking and eating, Jiang Huai and Qing Shichen came to his house.
"You tell me about the matter between you and her!" Jiang Huai looked at Qing Shichen who was in a daze and asked out loud.
Qing Shichen smiled bitterly, although he was a little pedantic, but Brother Jiang helped him so much, he was not ashamed.
It was in this house that Qing Shichen told Jiang Huai in detail about the matter between him and her childhood sweetheart Liu Ying.
The beginning is beautiful, the middle is tortuous, and the ending is tragic. There were a lot of tears during the morning, and it seemed to be very sad.
But in Jiang Huai's view, it's not Erer.
This is just a simple bloody plot between Qing Shichen and Liu Ying, Qing Shichen's family is poor, and he didn't pass the exam several times.
Besides, those times were all paid by Liu Ying, and this time was no exception, after he received the money given to him by Liu Ying, he quietly followed Liu Ying for some reason. found that Liu Ying was carried by the merchant into the depths of the arch bridge on the bank of the Xijiang River, inside the cruise ship.
In a fit of rage, Qing Shichen rushed into the cruise ship with the small amount of silver, and then was thrown out.
Jiang Huai sighed, he comforted Qing Shichen to rest early and prepare to go to the Xijiang River tomorrow.
After Qing Shichen fell asleep, Jiang Huai came to the door, he meditated cross-legged, thinking in his heart: "I have always had a feeling that this Qing Shichen will lead to that powerful ghost." But I need some silver taels, do I want to go ahead and go for some more?"
Jiang Huai didn't pay attention in his heart, but even if it was smooth, he would have to wait until tomorrow daylight.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was not dawn, but there was already a quarrel outside, Jiang Huai opened his eyes and was a little puzzled.
He stood up, opened the wooden window, and found that it was full of dart masters and officers patrolling back and forth.
"What's going on?" Jiang Huai's mind was opened, and he found that the officers and soldiers had forcibly knocked on some people's houses, and then looked for something in their houses.
"This one doesn't have one, go to the next one. The officers and soldiers found no suspicious residence in this house, so they came to the Thousand Days Drunken House where Jiang Huai lived.
Jiang Huai left the room and went downstairs, he had just gone downstairs when he heard a commotion.
The face of the drunken shopkeeper was ugly, and Cao Wenjun and the others stood there, letting the officers and soldiers search for him.
"Something happened. Jiang Huai walked up to Cao Wenjun and asked, Cao Wenjun glanced at these officers and soldiers, and stuck out his tongue: "It is said that the large dart team from Kyoto lost a few carts of gold, silver and jewelry yesterday. β
"Lost it yesterday?" Jiang Huai was surprised, he saw the momentum of the dart team yesterday, but he didn't expect to lose a few carts of gold, silver and jewelry so quickly.
Cao Wenjun nodded, "To be precise, in the middle of the night last year, the guard found that the gold, silver, jewelry and other goods suddenly disappeared, and they didn't see a single person coming, nor did they find a carriage that could carry the goods. β
"Gone?" Jiang Huai's mouth twitched, could it be that Zhao Qi had no money for the goods, so he put the gold and silver into the storage bag.
