"I see. I'm talking about why Li Dongsheng is so arrogant. It turns out he was once a prominent person. After all, he is still young. Only after a few more years of hard work will he understand the ways of the world better." Magistrate Xu said with a smile.
"Xiao Mou thinks that this cannot be generalized." Xiao County Lieutenant and Xu County Magistrate are similar in age, and they chat casually. He patted me on the shoulder with one hand: "Li Jianghu and Li Dongsheng are also about the same age, and they are very polite in their ways.
Be measured."
I was suddenly praised, but I felt uncomfortable. I scratched my head and smiled: "The county captain was so complimentary."
"Okay, you go down. County Lieutenant Xiao, Chief Secretary Lin, you and your people will go from house to house and check carefully to see if there are any households who don't have money to buy charcoal. Give them some as a gift, or give them two more bundles.
Straw, we have to survive this winter. Also, we must publicize fire prevention and pay attention to charcoal gas." Magistrate Xu waved at us, turned to Magistrate Xiao and others and explained the task.
Qin Yong followed us out of the county government office and nodded to me: "Thank you very much."
"Are you okay, Aunt Zhu?" Wang Jiajia asked with concern.
Although Aunt Zhu's mouth is really annoying, but now I'm afraid she will never be able to speak again.
"It's okay. Farewell." Qin Yong didn't want to say anything more and went home holding the bloody quilt.
I held Wang Jiajia's hand and said, "Poor people must be hateful. Let's go."
But Wang Jiajia became serious: "Brother Jianghu, I would like to ask: Why did the prisoner die when he also had his tongue cut off? If he is severely interrogated and he cannot stand the punishment, he may point out the person behind the scenes."
"He is a professional killer. Of course he knows that if he falls into the hands of the other party, he will suffer a lot, so he might as well commit suicide. He bit his tongue on his own. The closer to the base of the tongue, the richer the blood vessels. There are two reasons why he bit his tongue and committed suicide.
: Either excessive blood loss, or suffocation due to blood stasis and tongue blocking the trachea.
But Aunt Zhu was cut off at the tip of her tongue by someone the size of half a copper coin, and the bleeding has stopped, so she won't die, but it will affect her voice and make it difficult to speak in the future."
I explained.
"So that's it. Brother Jianghu, you know so much." Wang Jiajia looked at me with admiration on her face.
I smiled and said, "This is all Fatty Wang... um... what Master taught me before."
"Master? Do you... still call him 'Master'?"
I was a little embarrassed: "I've been calling you for so many years."
"Oh, it's okay, Aye said... he doesn't care about it."
"Okay, let's go to Jianghu Inn first and take the couplet back."
…
"Li Jianghu!"
Just as I was about to arrive at Jianghu Inn, someone called my name.
I looked back and felt cold in my heart, Lin Sheng, what does he want to do again?
"Jiajia, you should go back first. I have something else to do."
Wang Jiajia worriedly held my wrist: "Brother Jianghu..."
"It's okay, you go back first so that Aniang and the others won't worry." I smiled at her, maybe this was the best comfort.
"Then...you must be careful." Wang Jiajia glanced at me reluctantly and finally left.
"Oh, it's so hard to separate!" Lin Sheng teased in a weird way.
I looked at him calmly: "Master Lin, is there something wrong?"
Lin Sheng looked around: "Follow me."
Could it be that he is taking me to see his master again? I wonder if I can find anything more this time.
Sure enough, after following him around for two quarters of an hour, we finally arrived at a pavilion in a remote place in the north of the city. The cold wind was blowing, the tree trunks were bare, the ground was covered with dead leaves, and there was a dead silence.
A person was standing in an independent pavilion, with a black turban on his head and a long khaki shirt. It was obviously the person he had seen last time.
"Master Xiang, bring Li Jianghu here." Lin Sheng touched his chest with his right hand and saluted him.
"How about this calligraphy?" He ignored me, opened his arms and handed out a scroll.
Word? What word?
I was confused in my heart, and then I heard Lin Sheng read out: "Peace and peace!"
My heart trembled. I remembered that Li Dongsheng once wrote such a painting. Uncle Fu was worried about not being able to sell it, but it was happily bought by a middle-aged man wearing a gray short shirt. Is it this one? Is it this?
Was it the man in yellow shirt who bought it? He also likes calligraphy?
"This is written by Li Dongsheng from Jianghu Inn. What do you think of the writing?" the man in yellow shirt asked.
Lin Sheng admired it carefully: "Not bad. I just heard that his calligraphy actually costs one tael of silver per painting!"
"Hahahaha, when Mu You was in Chang'an, he would tell people's fortunes and tell fortunes for just one tael of silver. There was no bargaining! He was imitating Mu You."
Lin Sheng smiled, rolled up the scroll, and told me about Li Dongsheng's life experience that I reported to Magistrate Xu.
"None of this matters anymore. What I'm interested in is: Will he threaten us? Will he be our enemy?"
"This... shouldn't be possible." Lin Sheng replied cautiously: "In this tongue-cutting incident, Li Dongsheng's performance completely proved that he has no authority. If Li Jianghu hadn't persuaded him and Mu You showed up in time, I would have
Look, he might actually get excited and kill Xu Luo."
"Well, since he is fine, let's not touch him for now, and remove all the people who are monitoring him. He is Mu You's friend after all, so that those people will not be targeted by Mu You and cause trouble."
"yes."
"How are the other people doing?" the Huangshan man asked again.
"Li Huichun stopped Mrs. Zhu's bleeding, and was invited by our people to go to the south of the city for medical treatment. I specially arranged several serious patients for that family, but he didn't come back until the case was finished.
Mu Xianer took her two maids to Yunyin Nunnery early in the morning to offer incense. She had just left Yunyin Nunnery and returned home half an hour ago, and she had no idea that Li Dongsheng had been sent to the county government.
"
Lin Sheng replied.
"I originally thought that Jianghu Inn and Huichun Hall were the two secret strongholds of Mu You. Now it seems that I guessed wrong?" The Huangshan man took a few steps forward and looked very puzzled: "Then
Is there any movement among the nine people?"
Nine people? Which nine people? Are they candidates for Mrs. Mu’s husband?
"The person who was staring at Xiang Wenbo just wrote a letter saying that Liu Jiabao's family had prepared gifts and went to his house to say goodbye to the New Year. On a whim, Xiang Wenbo pointed to the red plum in the corner of the courtyard and ordered Liu Jiabao to write a poem. The teacher and students also wrote
It's wasted.
Linghu Zhong, Lin Shu and Song Yi were not in Xiangzhou city at all.
Zhang Fan was singing on the street, and Li Qingquan was setting up a stall on the street to write peach charms for people, but there was no response.
Wang Yicheng was very busy at the Qianbeiwudun restaurant.
Lei Shaoxuan and Song Chengde went to Wanhua Tower together to spend the day and night."
Lin Sheng came one by one.
I couldn't help but deliberately asked: "Who informed the imperial envoy? Who investigated the case? How did Shen Zhong be captured so quickly?"
Lin Sheng frowned and glanced sideways at me: "It's you! Secret Agents with Sky Eyes!"
"So, we all let Mu You fool us! All along, we have kept our eyes on the ten people selected by Mu Xianer, and even sent people to monitor them for so long. Now it seems that Mu Xianer's marriage proposal,
It was a deliberate fascination formation to divert our attention. The secret agents Mu You really chose should be ordinary people like Li Jianghu!" The man in yellow shirt stretched out his hand to take back the scroll, his words full of anger.
"Master Xiang, what should we do next?" Lin Sheng asked.
"Of course we are trying our best to find out who else is the spy! Otherwise, we don't even know when we are being watched, and we might end up killing Mu You one day!" the man in yellow shirt said sternly.
"yes."
"Li Jianghu, your mission is: continue to work for Mu You, and then find a way to find other secret agents!" The man in yellow shirt pointed at me with the scroll and said, still not looking back.
I smiled coldly: "You all can't do anything about the imperial envoy. Do you think I am his opponent?"
Lin Sheng glared at me: "Li Jianghu, don't forget what I told you last time. You still have eight days. By the seventh day of the first lunar month, if you still can't hand over a spy, I'll wait for you."
Let the family collect the body!"
I felt uneasy in my heart, but I insisted: "Don't force me! Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your identity?"
Lin Sheng smiled: "Not bad, you have learned to threaten people? Then tell me, I want to see if Mu You believes you or me?"
There is no doubt that Xiao Mu must believe me, but the identity of the man in yellow has not yet been found out. Now that I have fallen out with them, I may never see him again, and it will be even harder to find out about him. Lin
Sheng should be more cunning than that Shen Zhong. Even if he is tortured and interrogated, he may not be able to find out anything.
I thought for a while and said: "I can do things for you, but I won't allow you to keep an eye on my family. Also, I can't just do it for nothing! The imperial envoy promised me that as long as I help him keep an eye on Dianxiang
According to the situation in Zhoucheng, they can exempt me from taxes for half a year and introduce me to a part-time job that pays me one tael of silver per month. What about you? What can you give me?"
"Hahahaha, you have the guts! How dare you make demands in front of me!" the man in yellow shirt laughed, his voice a little proud, probably because he felt that he had completely conquered me and was very pleased with himself.
Lin Sheng was also full of joy: "Don't worry, as long as you work for us seriously, we will never give you less than what Mu You can give you. As the saying goes, 'He who knows the current affairs is a hero.' Now that Li Tang is no longer in glory, sooner or later the world will
We belong to Tubo, if you stand in line early, you will be the hero of Tubo's opening up remote areas, and your future will be unlimited."
"How can I trust your words? How big an official are you in Tubo? You alone can guarantee my glory and wealth?"
I looked at Lin Sheng with contempt, trying to be brave, but in my heart I just hoped that he would not be angry. This man is far more vicious than Yang Mosheng. If he finds out about other spies, then I will become an outcast in his eyes.
.
"He's nothing, but my words still have some effect. When the time comes, it will be easy to make you a seventh-grade sesame official in Xiangzhou. I can guarantee this." The man in yellow shirt boasted to Haikou.
"You?" I was heartbroken and joked: "You are a turtle with a shrunken head. You don't even dare to show your face, and you still dare to scream..."
"presumptuous!"
The scroll was pressed against my throat, leaving me speechless. He finally turned around, but there was a black gauze hanging on his face, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
I could feel his strong inner strength, but obviously he still showed mercy, otherwise, I felt that my throat would have to be pierced by him.
I suddenly regretted my little cleverness. I really shouldn't have been so impulsive. If I really saw his face, would he let me go? Or kill me to silence me? Then how could I report the news to Xiao Mu?
"Master Xiang, please calm down." Lin Sheng advised.
"I advise you to be honest! Don't try to play tricks on me! Otherwise... you should think of my methods!" The man in the yellow shirt left a harsh sentence, jumped up, and disappeared like an autumn leaf in the cold wind.
Master! This light kung fu is really amazing! I can't help but think of that great hero Ouyang. I wonder which of them is better in kung fu.
