Chapter 699: One sentence is worth 50,000 days of money
In the capital of the gods, cicadas are already chirping.
From the willow trees by the South Lake, cicadas chirp occasionally, but not frequently.
Xie Nandu sat under the eaves, listening to the sound of cicadas and drinking sour plum soup.
The delicate porcelain spoon fell on the even more delicate porcelain bowl, and when they collided, they made some very nice sounds.
Very pleasant.
The maid Liu Ye was waiting aside and asked: "Miss, the bamboo building has been completed. It was built according to the request of the lady. When will the lady go and see it?"
After the green bamboos brought back by Chen Chao from Jianqi Mountain were given to Xie Nandu, she chose a good place and spent money to buy the land. She has been building the bamboo building in the past few days. The craftsmen are excellent craftsmen.
, are all private craftsmen of the Xie family. Although they may not be comparable to those craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, they are still much better than craftsmen in other places.
Xie Nandu knocked on the porcelain bowl, shook his head and said, "There's no rush."
Liu Ye has long been accustomed to her young lady's way of speaking, so she doesn't care. She just said: "Jiaoxi Liu sent a message before that my lady is already very knowledgeable. If you are interested, you can also teach in the academy and teach others."
It is also a good thing for young students to give lectures and pass on the legacy from generation to generation."
Xie Nandu thought for a while and said, "Then we will have four classes per month, with only forty students in each class."
Liu Ye frowned, vaguely feeling something was wrong, but still didn't say anything. Her young lady's temperament had always been like this, and she couldn't listen to any opinions at all.
Except that person.
that person……
Liu Ye sighed silently in his heart, does that person still have a foothold in the city of Gods now?
In other words, does it still have a foothold in the entire world?
Liu Ye shook his head and saw a scholar appearing at the entrance of the small courtyard.
"Mr. Wei..."
Liu Ye was startled and quickly stood up to greet him.
After all, the Mr. Wei in front of him is not only the dean's disciple, but also his young lady's senior brother.
Xie Nandu also stood up and looked at his senior brother.
Wei Xu held a box of snacks in his hand and handed it to Liu Ye before smiling and saying, "I heard that my junior sister is going to be a teacher, and my senior brother is here to congratulate her."
Xie Nandu said: "Senior brother knows that this is not my original intention."
Wei Xu said: "So I'm even more curious about why junior sister agreed."
"There's something I want to say, so I'll say it."
Xie Nandu looked at Wei Xu with a smile, "Some things cannot be done by just one or two people in a few years, so we have to find some helpers."
Wei Xu said: "It is really a good habit to prepare for a rainy day."
Xie Nandu smiled slightly and said nothing more.
"I just don't know what the teacher will think when he finds out."
Wei Xu sighed with emotion: "But according to the teacher's temper, I'm afraid he won't say anything."
Xie Nandu said: "I haven't seen the teacher for a long time."
Wei Xu nodded and said, "Me too."
A lot of things have actually happened in Shendu these days, but the eyes of most people are looking at Chen Chao, looking at the young man who killed his own brother.
But there is more than one person in Shendu.
The dean is also a very important figure.
That night, the dean didn't seem to make his position particularly clear, but he seemed to have made it clear again.
If he had chosen to side with the deposed emperor that night, I am afraid that Chen Chao might not be able to kill the deposed emperor so easily.
If the deposed emperor had not died, the situation that night would have become very complicated.
Among the powerful people in Shendu, the dean was the only one who could possibly change the situation that night, but he did nothing at that time.
And after that night, no one saw the dean again.
He disappeared.
There was no trace of him in the academy.
There is no trace of him anywhere in the city of God.
He disappeared even more completely than Chen Chao, and no one knew where he went.
After all, if a strong man who has reached the end of Wangyou wants not to be found, then he is afraid that no one will be able to find him.
…
…
There are many houses in Shendu whose ownership is unknown. The owners of these houses are often some dignitaries in Shendu. For many reasons, they do not want people to know that those houses belong to them.
Therefore, there is probably no superficial connection between the actual owner and the name on the property deed.
In those low houses, there is actually something special.
A private house in Nancheng is hidden in the most deserted alley, but people come in and out all the time. No one expected that this place turned out to be a secret prostitute.
There are many popular places in the divine capital, but there are always people who are not comfortable appearing in these places for various reasons, so there are secret prostitutes.
They don't ask the identity of the guests they receive, so many people are willing to come here.
Tonight, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the alley. After the carriage stopped, a figure walked out of the carriage, then walked straight into the alley and came to the dark house.
After knocking on the door a few times, the house opened.
The person who greeted the visitor was a middle-aged man with a mustache and a very thin look. After seeing the visitor, he didn't ask much and just turned sideways to welcome him in.
After entering, we first walked down a long corridor. There were several lanterns hanging at the end of the corridor. There were also many side rooms lined up here. There were lanterns hanging in front of each room, but some were on, and some were on.
But it didn't light up.
A lit lantern means there are guests in the room; a lighted lantern means there are no guests in the room.
The visitor went straight to the innermost room in the row of rooms.
There is a lantern burning there.
The man ignored it and walked in directly.
The middle-aged man originally wanted to say something, but after seeing this scene, he didn't say a word.
There was actually no one in that wing.
The man walked to the wall and pushed it, and a secret passage appeared in front of him.
The secret passage is not long and you can reach the end soon.
At the end is a small courtyard.
There was a man sitting in the courtyard.
The moonlight fell on his face, giving him a special look.
The visitor smiled and said: "It's good that you are elegant, and you are still thinking about admiring the moon."
The man looked up at the moonlight and exclaimed: "The moonlight is pretty tonight. It's hard to see. Why don't you take a closer look?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to watch it a few times."
The visitor also took a look at the moonlight.
"If you really can't see it a few times, then you should see it a few more times now."
The man said so.
The visitor said: "It seems that you are a person who knows how to enjoy, but there is a big difference between enjoying for a while and enjoying for a lifetime."
The man smiled and said: "Of course we have to fight for the rest of our lives. Besides, I don't think the situation is as bad as you think."
"That night, our Majesty finally happily accomplished all the things that she had been unable to do and failed to do in these years. Now there seems to be no one else's voice in the sky, but she has never given up like this.
As a man, why has he stopped these days?"
The visitor smiled and said: "The biggest ghost in Daliang Dynasty for more than two hundred years. Since he has seen it, why don't you want to find him?"
"Being seen is not an unacceptable thing, because we have been seen countless times over the years, but we have never been found. This is why I am admiring the moon right now."
"He thinks he is amazing, the most amazing person in the world, and doesn't even take his ancestors seriously. But are there really such amazing people in this world?"
The man said: "But I still admire him very much. What he did has indeed been done by no one in more than two hundred years."
"In that case, why don't you believe he can still do something?"
The visitor looked at the man with some confusion.
The man said: "Because his opponent is me."
After hearing this, the visitor suddenly smiled.
Also, the man sitting on the throne may be the most amazing emperor in the past two hundred years of the Liang Dynasty, but the man in front of him seems to have been said to be the most amazing emperor in the two hundred years of the Liang Dynasty.
Minister.
This is a battle between king and minister.
The visitor sighed with emotion: "After a long time, your fight will probably be written in the stories of the world with great color."
The man said: "I will beat him."
The visitor didn't say anything anymore, he just looked at the moon in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"So you already have a way to deal with the Weizhou incident?"
the visitor asked.
"I have sent people to kill him."
The man stretched out his hand, put his palm in the moonlight, and said: "I didn't kill him at the beginning, not because I couldn't kill him, I just wanted to make him suffer a little longer, but now it's time for him to die."
…
…
Weizhou can be said to be one of the hometowns of the Chen Dynasty. After the fire in the imperial city, he left the capital and stayed in Weizhou until the flood forced him to leave his hometown.
But even so, he still chose to return to Weizhou and continue to stay there. Without those Qi Refiners, he might have lived in Weizhou for the rest of his life.
Chen Chao had very deep feelings for Weizhou.
So when he learned that the letter from the eldest son of the old owner of Shenshui Villa was related to Weizhou, Chen Chao had already made up his mind to go to Weizhou.
After leaving Luming Temple, he deliberately hid his whereabouts and made a long detour before finally arriving at the border of Weizhou.
After that he walked a long way along the Wei River.
This big river that runs through Weizhou had a flood in the eleventh year of Tianjian. At that time, the people on both sides of the river suffered a lot.
Chen Chao is also within the scope of the impact.
Many things happened in the Daliang Dynasty that year, and the Weizhou flood was just one of them. In recent years, the flood has been regarded as a natural disaster.
In fact, this is quite normal, after all, similar things have happened in all dynasties.
At that time, officials from Qintian Prison were dealt with a lot because of this incident.
Even Chen Chao, before seeing those letters, always believed that the flood was a natural disaster.
Looking at the Weishui River, Chen Chao's face looked ugly.
It will never look uglier again.
Those letters mentioned many things about the flood.
It would be fine if the flood was just a natural disaster.
But what if this flood is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster?
