Chapter Eighty-Four: A Taste of the World
There are only three hours left before the end of the gold list,
Jushou City has fallen into a strange depression, there are many fresh faces in the city, and even the ghost market outside the city has a lot more people.
The ghost market is not really a market where ghosts gather, this is handed down by the old people, at that time, the market was not allowed to open outside the city, everyone in order not to be caught, can only choose to gather together before dawn, but at that time, it was pitch black, and people could not see clearly, and only saw the figure hidden in the dark, which was similar to the ghost, so it was called the ghost market.
Lao Wu Tou cleaned up the mountain ginseng on the stall, and put two sticks in his arms, "Shuang'er, Dad is going out of the city, you remember to take home the stall." ”
"Dad, there are still a lot of ginseng at home, so don't go out, it'll be wasted again. ”
Wu Shuang said to the back of the old Wu head.
Old Wu Tou waved his hand, "The gold list is almost over, the mountain ginseng will definitely be in short supply at that time, and Dad will have to prepare a dowry for you." ”
"Daddy......"
"Dad will come back in two days, if you have something, you will go to Deng Siye first. Old Wu Tou didn't say anything more, turned around the alley and disappeared.
Wu Shuang raised her head and looked at the gold list, not knowing why she had always felt a little uneasy in her heart in the past two days.
Some time ago, my father would make fun of her, but in the past few days, my father has been silent a lot, often smoking dry cigarettes alone, and staring at the gold list above his head in a daze.
Wu Shuanggan sat for a while, and he didn't have much thought, and after collecting the mountain ginseng, he went straight to Deng Siye's house.
When she arrived at Deng Siye's house, she found that Deng Siye was about to go out with a medicine box on his back.
"Fourth Master Deng, are you going out?"
"Well, I'm going out of the city for a while, and the old Niu family outside the city has something urgent. "Fourth Master Deng locked the door.
"You want to go out of the city too?" Wu Shuang asked suspiciously.
"What do you mean to go out of the city too?" Deng Siye's face changed slightly.
"Just now my father also went out of the city, saying that he wanted to pick more ginseng, which is really ......"
Wu Shuang was still talking about something, but Deng Siye stared at him and left in a hurry.
This old guy is so old that he even has a daughter, isn't he looking for death when he goes out of the city? It's so hard to enjoy the joy of family? His brain is really broken.
Deng Siye carried the medicine box on his back and took a shortcut all the way, but he still couldn't catch up with Lao Wu Tou at the city gate, "This guy, I didn't say that I couldn't go out of the city! I'll die alone, it's enough, what else is he doing to make a fuss?"
"What are you doing when you go out of the city?" The city gate is now extremely strict, and whether you enter or leave the city, you will be interrogated repeatedly.
Deng Siye's body trembled when he was asked, and he sneered, "The little one is Langzhong, there is a friend outside the city who is sick, I'll go and see him......"
"Friends outside the city, it can't be a traitor, right?" As soon as the word traitor came out, a soldier next to him directly raised his spear and aimed it at Deng Siye.
"Master Jun, look at you, how could this kind of thing fall on me, a little man?" Fourth Master Deng took out a small handful of copper coins from the medicine box, "The little ones invite the military masters to drink." ”
The armor soldier who blocked the way took it in his hand and tossed it up, "Okay, you can get out." ”
"Release!"
The spear was put away, and the tense situation suddenly disappeared.
After Deng Siye staggered out of the city, the non-commissioned officer guarding the city whispered to the people around him, "Send someone to keep an eye on it, this is already the one hundred and seventy-third to go out of the city to send benefits." ”
"Taishi is really a clever calculation, and he has detected a bunch of ill-intentioned people at once. ”
"When necessary, there is no mercy!"
......
————————————
Taishi Mansion, at this time a group of officials are gathering together, today's Dharma propagation conference is dispersed, everyone tacitly came to the Taishi Mansion, today is the last day of the gold list, no matter whether the Beiji thieves enter the gold list or not, today is the time when they die.
"The hour is coming, and I don't know what the situation will be this time. ”
"Yes, I still remember that a month ago, the Beiji barbarian thieves stirred up a bloody storm before entering the city, and I don't know what will happen when I go out of the city this time. ”
......
The ministers were talking a lot, they still had a relationship with what happened a month ago, and now there was another chance, and they didn't know the bottom of their hearts.
"Ahem......"
The Taishi coughed lightly and walked into the hall, and everyone suddenly fell silent.
"How's the preparation?" the Grand Master sat at the top of his seat, and he looked at the Commander of the City Guard.
"Master Yu, Your Majesty has no intention of letting the city guards out of the city, and great things can be done. ”
"Very good, this time we don't need to mobilize the army again, those dead soldiers and martial arts people should be enough. Taishi nodded.
"There is one more thing to note, the phantom bird of the Zhao family has not appeared for a long time, I am afraid that there are also some changes in the palace, as soon as the matter of Beiji is over, everyone will reduce this kind of movement, and don't let His Majesty seize the handle. After glancing at the dozens of officials present, the Taishi left the table with the support of the butler.
Chen Chang has been in hiding since he was promoted to the Ministry of Rites last time, and he is not as high-profile as Liu Mao, so nothing has happened so far.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, He Pei of the military department quietly came over and saluted, "Lord Chen." ”
"Ho, my lord. Chen Chang hurriedly returned the salute, "I don't know what happened to Lord He?"
"It's fine. He Pei said in a low voice, "Please also ask Lord Chen to move, after all, there are many people here." ”
Chen Chang nodded, and after he and He Pei left the Taishi Mansion, they came to a small restaurant in a relatively remote location.
In the innermost room of the restaurant, He Pei took the initiative to pour a bowl of wine for Chen Chang.
After the two of them drank a bowl of each other, Chen Chang said, "I don't know what Lord He commands?"
He Pei said in a low voice, "I heard that Lord Chen and Lord Cai are familiar with each other, I don't know what Lord Cai's task is this time? ”
"Lord He's serious, Lord Cai's trip, I don't know, where can I speculate about the major events of the Taishi?" Chen Chang prevaricated quietly.
He Pei hurriedly poured another bowl of wine for Chen Chang, "That's in Xia Menglang, I salute Lord Chen with a bowl." ”
Both of them belong to the Taishi's disciples, although they are not in the same official mansion, but they are also familiar with each other very quickly.
"Lord Chen, Lord Chen, I'll give you another bowl of ......" He Pei's eyes were drunk, he pushed Chen Chang, who had already drunk, but unfortunately Chen Chang was already unconscious at this time, where could he drink again?
He Pei smiled and shook his head, he called Xiao Er, "My friend is drunk, let him sleep here for a while, don't bother again, I'll leave first after settling the bill." ”
"Okay, please come here. Xiao Er carefully lowered the curtain, and then bent down to lead the way.
He Pei staggered, took out a silver ingot, and left the restaurant.
Just when Xiao Er buried his head in putting away the silver, a figure walked in quietly.
Chen Chang was still asleep in the curtain, the figure ripped open the money bag on his waist, took out some of the broken silver inside, and then picked up Chen Chang's head, and a dark blue dagger was inserted directly from Chen Chang's slightly open mouth.
The person who came gently closed Chen Chang's mouth and leaned against the pillar again, Chen Chang's body shook a few times and then stopped moving, not a drop of blood splashed out.
The person who came left quietly again, and Xiao Er had just raised his head at this time.
"Is it done?" After He Pei left the restaurant, he stood at the mouth of the alley behind the restaurant, and a figure stood behind him at some point.
"It's done. Before he could finish speaking, the figure disappeared again.
He Pei shook his head and walked home step by step.
General Chu Zhuang, I have already given you the news you want, this Chen Chang is related to Cai Ling, I will kill it first, it can be regarded as giving you an explanation, and from now on, you and I have nothing to do with it......
I just want to live well......
