Chapter 20 The Gambling Outside the Drunk Moon Building
drive!
A loud shout was Lao Qu's response, and then the creaking of the wheels was heard again. The carriage turned from the quiet alley into the bustling street, and drove slowly towards Zuiyue Tower.
There was a lot of noise outside the carriage, but it was unusually quiet inside.
It’s noisy because people outside the car are busy trying to survive, but it’s quiet because everyone inside the car is busy thinking about how to survive. People can’t speak when they’re thinking, because their brains and mouths can only be busy.
.
After Shen Xiaojia said those words, Chu Yunqiao suddenly realized how charming, intimate and ambiguous the distance between him and Shen Xiaojia was. He gave Shen Xiaojia a charming look, and Chu Yunqiao sat back down in his seat again.
With a blushing face, he gently shook his cherry blossom fan and pretended not to pay attention to Shen Xiaojia anymore. He leaned against the window railing of the carriage and admired the scenery along the street. However, he secretly glanced at Shen Xiaojia from time to time, and his worries became more and more complicated.
After Tao Niang, who was sitting next to Chu Yunqiao, heard that Shen Xiaojia's internal injuries were not serious, a look of disappointment flashed through her eyes. She looked down at the Qinglian Guqin in her arms with a cold face, as if thinking about how to speed up next time.
Di pulled out a dagger from the bottom of the piano and stabbed Shen Xiaojia to death, as if thinking about the past about the lame butler of the City Lord's Mansion.
Shen Xiaojia didn't speak. He slumped in the corner of the carriage, his head hanging down and dozing off. He had experienced several life-and-death dangers in more than half a day, and he was really tired and exhausted.
Glancing at the mute girl on the ground, he leaned against the inner wall of the carriage and fell asleep while quickly analyzing the causes and consequences of everything in his mind. His experience as a detective in his previous life made him think twice before acting no matter what he encountered.
It is a good habit to review and summarize things after they are over.
At the edge of the lotus spring, Lao Qu told about the Shen family who once sat on the dragon throne, and he also knew the life experience of his body.
It's not that he wasn't shocked, but he just couldn't care less about the shock. After all, there was an arrow in the woods at that time, and it was because of his life experience.
Although he studied science in his previous life, and later entered society as a detective who focused on rational thinking, he also memorized some basic historical knowledge.
The reason why humans are advanced animals is that they know how to pass on their experiences and experiences orally or in the form of written patterns. As a member of the Chinese people, Shen Xiaojia has never been short of inheritance, with five thousand
Years of historical accumulation are difficult for many countries in the world to match.
In this eastern land, a total of 20 dynasties have gone through, Daqing is the sixth from the bottom, and five dynasties have gone down. After 1100 years, it is the era where Shen Xiaojia originally lived. Before Daqing,
It is a dynasty that makes countless descendants excited and longing for Damin.
Damin may not be the longest among the 20 dynasties. After all, it only lasted for 89 years, but it was the dynasty with the most wars in history. From Min Taizong, Min Wenzong, to Min Lizong, and the last emperor Min Shenzong, almost everyone reigned
Every year, I am either on a military expedition in person or on the road to a military expedition in person.
No marriage, no indemnity, no cession of territory, no tribute. The emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country. This is the iron motto forged by every emperor of Damin with blood and tears. Even the last emperor did not die with Daqing.
In the battle for the Central Plains, he fell into a hail of arrows fighting with the Huns on the border. Before his death, Shenzong still held up the dark red Min-character flag and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance.
The Damin royal family was once the royal family with the straightest backbone in this land, and it was also a family that was loved and hated by the people all over the world. The Damin emperors were all surnamed Shen. If there were people who were harmonious, they would be Shen who upheld justice. If there was no one, they would be Shen who upheld justice.
Going together means having ambitions that are difficult to achieve.
Shen is the ninth of the Earthly Branches. Nine is the ultimate number. It is not good to go too far.
Shen Xiaojia never thought that his Shen was actually Shen from the previous royal family. If he had lived in that era, he would not have wanted to show off on a social network.
But now, he is not happy at all, just because he lives in Daqing, which is more prosperous after Damin and has a very long time. With the identity of a former royal family, he is naturally facing endless bloodshed.
wind.
290 years, Daqing has ruled this land for 290 years, and once reached the peak of all nations coming to court, and everyone from all over the world was convinced. Shen Xiaojia's mouth became more and more bitter. He would not live to be 290 years old. In this era of supremacy of imperial power,
One word from others can determine your life or death.
You can use your toes to figure out who initiated the great purge that Lao Qu said. Even if he wasn't the one sitting on the Dragon Throne, he was one of the few people standing at the top of the Daqing Pyramid.
It’s not unusual for the Tianzi Bang killer to want to kill him. What’s strange is why he came to visit him again ten years later. After Lao Qu rescued him, he must have done a lot of things, such as informing the person who issued the fatwa.
The task has been completed, and there is no black or white Shen in the world. For example, during the eight years when he was eight to sixteen, Lao Qu forced him to cut his hair short and wear a straw hat.
He used to think that the people in Yuecheng believed in gods and Buddhas, and Lao Qu asked him to hide his hair because he was worried that he would be put on the fire by the people and burned as a goblin. Now, what he wants to hide is not ghosts and gods, but cruel people.
There was actually no life-or-death feud between the Shen family of Da Min and the Zhu family of Daqing. According to historical records, the Zhu family later followed the tradition of "the emperor guarding the country" and even erected monuments and statues for several emperors of the Shen family, which they highly respected.
Everyone has a hypocritical side, and the emperor is the most hypocritical person in the world. Shen Xiaojia understands that the Daqing Emperor wants to eradicate the roots and maintain his reputation for benevolence and righteousness. However, it makes no sense that he still refuses to give up after ten years.
.The emperor was busy with government affairs all day long, so how could he keep thinking about his existence, which was as small as an ant? There must be a deeper conspiracy, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment.
What made him even more puzzled was why the Lord of Yue City was targeting him, why the two women from Yanyu Tower wanted to kill him, and how the Moon God murder case and the explosion of the fireworks shop were related to these...
Just when Shen Xiaojia was thinking a lot, the carriage stopped again, and Lao Qu's lazy voice came from behind the curtain, "We're home, get off the car."
"Well..." Shen Xiaojia exhaled a long breath, straightened up, and was about to reach out to pick up the mute girl, but found that the mute girl had woken up at some point, looking at him with dull eyes, frowning and saying, "
Are you awake? When did you wake up? Why didn't you call me..."
The mute girl still didn't speak, still looking hopeless.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you are mute and can't speak..." Shen Xiaojia opened the curtain and took a look at the street outside the car. He found that he was in the alley at the back door of Zuiyue Building. He said with a relaxed expression, "Now that I'm awake,
Then get off the car with me, now that I am also injured, it is really difficult to hold you."
Chu Yunqiao put down his cherry blossom fan, stared at the mute girl's face for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "She is also mute?"
"What's wrong?" Shen Xiaojia turned around and asked doubtfully, "She is the daughter of old man Xie from the fireworks shop, so she is naturally mute. Is there a problem?"
The mute girl also looked sideways at Chu Yunqiao, without any emotion in her eyes.
"Of course it's no problem..." Chu Yunqiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the mute girl, chuckled, turned to Shen Xiaojia and said softly, "Sir, don't forget the poetry meeting tomorrow, the little girl must be at the Yanyu Tower.
We look forward to your arrival with great anticipation!"
Shen Xiaojia pulled the mute girl out of the carriage, waved with her back to Chu Yunqiao, and replied in an extremely perfunctory manner, "Absolutely, but don't wait for me. There is a very difficult case recently, and I may not have time to be there.
You just have to eat and have fun. Actually, I'm not very good at elegant things. I just know a little bit about romance. Let's say goodbye first. Let's talk about tomorrow!"
"What an interesting person." Chu Yunqiao watched Shen Xiaojia, Lao Qu and the mute girl walk into the back door of Zuiyue Tower, pouting, "It would be great if his surname was not Shen..."
Tao Niang sneered, "He's just a coward. He can even resist a poetry meeting. He has no masculinity at all."
"He's not stupid. He knew we wanted to kill him, so how could he risk it so easily? You shouldn't have said that you lured him over by attracting bees and butterflies when he was at the edge of the spring. The ninth person in the world must be the same person.
I told him..." Chu Yunqiao suddenly remembered something, shook his cherry blossom fan, and chuckled, "Tao Niang, how about we make a bet?"
"What to bet on?"
"Bet on whether he will come tomorrow?"
"What to bet on?"
"How about we bet on what the lame butler put on the bottom of the piano? Whoever loses will get that thing..."
Tao Niang touched the bottom of the Qinglian Guqin and said expressionlessly, "Yunqiao, I have been gambling since I was a child, gambling on life, life and death, and luck. I have never lost, and this time will be no exception. Then
This thing is destined to be yours."
"You can't do things too hard, and you can't say too much," Chu Yunqiao tugged at the silk hanging by his ears and glanced at Zuiyue Tower outside the car window. Li Duo said with a smile, "Even if he doesn't want to come, there are people.
