The third volume of the country is famous, the forty-ninth chapter, the white-clothed horse enters the dragon platform
The case of Xu Shao's death was successfully closed two days later.
The notice issued by the county guard clearly stated that the murderer was the man named Liu Feng and Liu Wangchuan.
This man held a grudge because Jiangshan Ping failed to appear on stage. He took the opportunity to sneak into Xu Shao's room in Qingyun Pavilion of Jiangshan Tower late at night and killed Xu Shao. He also met shopkeeper He who came to pay his respects. In order not to expose himself, he
They went on a violent rampage again and killed Shopkeeper He as well.
In order to put the blame on others, I left that sentence on the screen, but because I was uneasy and panicked, I didn't write it in full and was frightened away.
Unexpectedly, Tian Shou, the governor of Ba Nancheng County, worked hard to investigate and finally found out the truth of the matter. However, Liu Fengwei was frightened and because the skynet was so vast that he committed suicide when the matter was about to be exposed.
Fortunately, the laws of heaven are clear and the power of the imperial court is inviolable. Now everything has been found out.
The evidence is conclusive and beyond doubt.
Nanzhang Su Ling fully cooperated with the county governor's office to detect the murder case. Not only did he make no mistakes, but he also made meritorious deeds.
Therefore, he was acquitted and his innocence restored.
As soon as the notice came out, Xu Shao's death became a topic of conversation in the streets and after dinner.
There are those who believe deeply, and what they said about Liu Feng in Jiangshan Tower was very plausible, and they also incited people's hearts and confused the public. Now that they are hiding from the law, it is very satisfying. There are those who are half-believers and half-doubts, but they are also afraid of harming themselves and keep silent. There are even more who don't believe a word.
Everyone said that this was just an excuse. Xu Shao's death would never be that simple. The truth must be complicated and related to the vital interests of some powerful people in the court. Therefore, a scapegoat was found and the matter was hastily ended.
However, Liu Feng died as soon as he died, and he deserved it.
After all, Xu Shao was a great Confucian scholar at that time. His death was a big deal after all, and the county magistrate's memorial was sent directly to heaven.
However, the convicted criminals and the final closing statements of the case, whether it was Sikong Mansion, Bohai, or Qingliu faction, were all surprisingly unanimous on this matter. No one raised any objections and demanded strict investigation, and a subtle tacit understanding was reached.
, has always believed that the truth of this case has been revealed, and closing the case is the best way to deal with it.
On this matter, the various factions in the court, which had been arguing for several years, found a rare consensus of opinion and harmony.
The Qing school even strictly ordered all students in the world not to discuss this matter arbitrarily, otherwise they would be severely punished.
For a time, the entire Jin Dynasty had a unified voice, and this case truly came to an end.
However, this Xu Shao was a famous Confucian scholar during his lifetime, and he was extremely mourned and honored after his death. The imperial court sent an angel official to Binan City to express his condolences in person in front of the students all over the world, and even posthumously awarded him the four words "Confucianism".
On the day of Xu Shao's funeral, the streets were packed with people, and there were even important talents from Imperial College sent by the imperial court to carry the coffin and support the coffin.
On the central street in Banan City, where Xu Shao's coffin went, the white soul-calling flags with the four characters "Confucianism" fluttering in the wind were particularly dazzling.
Along the way, the Confucian scholars and students fell to their knees and screamed loudly, crying loudly.
From then on, there was no such grand event as Jiangshan Review in the world. Su Ling's words "Chiji" turned out to be worth a fortune, which was the last appreciation of Master Xu during his lifetime.
As Xu Shao's last favor during his lifetime, Su Ling was also "honored" to become a member of Fuling.
It's just that Su Lingke never felt honored. Instead, she felt that the grander and solemn the scene was, the more absurd and ridiculous it became.
He was thinking this in his heart, but he couldn't show it on the surface.
In fact, he was quite grateful to this damn ghost Xu Shao. He at least did one good deed for himself during his lifetime. Of course, the credit for his reputation must still be recorded on this damn ghost's head.
Thinking of this, I actually shed a few tears.
Du Heng thought that Su Ling was really sad, and when he saw him crying, he felt very sad. This brother was really an honest man, with his mouth wide open and howling endlessly.
His appearance really made some people who didn't know the reason think that Old Master Xu was indeed a man of character, that even such a rough man could cry so heartbroken.
How many people can do it?
It's just that his voice was really unpleasant. In the end, Su Ling couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him hard on the butt twice.
Du Heng then realized that Su Ling had stopped crying a long time ago, and there was no trace of tears at all, so he asked doubtfully: "I thought you were sad, and you have to cooperate no matter what."
Su Ling whispered: "If you really cooperate with me, sneak into the kitchen and find me some chili peppers."
Although Du Heng didn't know his intention, he sneaked into the kitchen unprepared and pulled out two or three dried chili peppers and gave them to Su Ling.
Su Ling covered her face with her long sleeves and rubbed the chili pepper over her eyes.
After putting down his long sleeves, he looked at Su Ling again. His eyes were extremely red and swollen, and his nose and tears were stinging like broken threads.
Coupled with Su Ling's expression of facial features distorted by the heat.
Except for Du Heng, everyone thought that Su Ling had never forgotten his kindness, and the way he cried was really heartbreaking and made people respect him.
Du Heng's head was full of black lines, and he lowered his voice and asked: "Which drama are you acting in?"
Su Ling shook away the snot and tears with her hands and said, "What do you know? If I don't do this, people on the street will see that I don't even have a single tear. Isn't it a bit shameful?"
When Du Heng heard this, he grinned and laughed.
This laughter startled everyone who was supporting the spirit, and they all looked sideways.
Many people are wondering why this dark and rough man is laughing so loudly now when he was crying loudly just now.
Some smart-aleck people have long said: "This black man is so sincere and sincere. He cries first and then laughs. He must be suffering from excessive sadness and being in a trance."
There was another sigh and emotion.
The funeral ended solemnly amid heavy music and music.
It’s just that time has passed. After a year, who can think of the lonely grave on the loess hill outside Banan City?
People are all sensitive at the moment, and they are the masters of remembering the beatings but not the punishments.
That night.
In a restaurant, Yuan Wuqian, Shen Qian, Tian Xu and others were sitting there. The good wine and food on the table seemed not to be touched at all, and they all had anxious looks on their faces, as if they were waiting for something.
Shen Qian and Tian Xu were still calm, but Yuan Wuqian was no longer able to do so. He was like an unsteady rabbit, scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, then standing up again, pacing back and forth.
Shen Qian frowned and glanced at him, thinking that this was his relative and it would be inappropriate to say anything to him.
Only Tian Xu coughed twice and said: "Wu Qian, you are too unstable. The Fourth Young Master has already said that the news about Bohai will arrive tonight. Can't you wait any longer?"
When Yuan Wuqian heard this, he had no choice but to sit down, but after a while he rubbed his hands, smacked his lips a few times, and finally couldn't help but said: "Then Xu Shaozhen was killed by Liu Feng? This kind of trick to deceive children, I also think
I want to stop Youyou's mouth. Can you believe it, Fourth Brother Shen? Can you believe it, Tian Xu?"
Shen Qian's eyes were burning, as if he was thinking about something, and he shook his head and said: "Don't say I don't believe it. Seventy-eight out of ten people in this world don't believe it. It's just why the court has concluded the coffin. I thought I could take the opportunity to attack that wild boy, but It’s better not to act rashly now.”
Yuan Wuqian curled his lips and said rather arrogantly: "That bastard Su Ling is just a bit lucky, so he is worthy of helping Ling? What do you want me to say, let's not wait for the news from Bohai and directly defeat Jiangshan Tower. , took Su Ling and pressed the knife to his neck to see if he recognized it."
Shen Gan glanced at Yuan Wuqian coldly and scolded: "Why are you still so reckless? Didn't you stumble enough to teach me a lesson? This Su Ling first had the glory of Chiji, and then did that in Xixiangyuan. , in the pavilions in Xixiang River, who is no longer singing? Moreover, he is one of the people who supports the spirit. Now Su Ling, do you dare to touch him? I think you are getting more and more confused!"
Yuan Wuqian was embarrassed and secretly thought of his luck.
Suddenly someone at the door whispered: "Sir, there is a letter from Bohai."
The three people's eyes lit up, Shen Qian stood up suddenly and said: "Bring it in quickly and let me see."
Someone came in through the curtain, handed a box to Shen Qian respectfully, and then stepped back.
Yuan Wuqian was anxious and wanted to grab the box and open it.
But Shen Qian's eyes flashed, he raised the folding fan in his hand and hit his hand.
Yuan Wuqian then smiled coquettishly, retracted his hand, and muttered: "No need to read it, uncle's letter must have asked us to catch that kid Su Ling and get to the bottom of it."
Shen Qian ignored him, slowly opened the box, took out the letter, read it once, and then handed the letter to Tian Xu calmly: "I'll leave this to you." After that, he stood up and walked away. Got out.
Yuan Wuqian didn't know why, so he quickly stood up and was about to speak. Tian Xu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master Yuan, please be patient. Maybe it's because there is something for both of us in the letter."
After hearing this, Yuan Wuqian sat down and muttered: "Fourth brother Shen is too careful... If it were me, Su Ling's ten heads would also be moved."
Tian Xu smiled but didn't smile. He stood up and poured a glass of wine for Yuan Wuqian and said: "Master Yuan, drink this glass first, and then we will make plans."
Yuan Wuqian then took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Just as he put down the glass, he saw Tian Xu's face changed, his smile disappeared, his expression was cold, and he suddenly shouted outside: "Come on, capture Yuan Wuqian! Hand him over to the general!"
Only then did Yuan Wuqian panic. Just as he was about to get up and struggle, four strong soldiers came towards him. Without any explanation, they held him down and tied him up with ropes.
Yuan Wuqian was panicked and shouted in confusion: "Tian Xu, you are so bold, how dare you commit a small crime!"
Tian Xu sneered a few times, and then said: "Yuan Wuqian, you idiot! You have ruined the Shen family's face, but now you have two eyes in vain. The general has already written clearly in the letter that Xu Shao's death It has nothing to do with Bohai, so there is no need to get stuck in it. What I did today was also based on the orders of the general. If you have any questions, wait until you destroy Bohai and see the general and tell him yourself!"
Hearing this, Yuan Wuqian collapsed on the ground, shaking his head and repeating: "No... no way! How could uncle treat me like this! This letter... is fake !is fake!"
Tian Xu glanced at Yuan Wuqian coldly, threw the letter in his hand at Yuan Wuqian's feet, and said coldly: "Here is the letter, go and read it yourself."
With that said, he also picked up the curtain and walked out.
The only sound left in the house was Yuan Wuqian's heartbroken howling, which came intermittently...
.............
The next day, Su Ling and Du Heng packed their luggage early, left Jiangshan Tower, and walked aimlessly on the street.
People had already been greeting Su Ling with their hands raised, and Su Ling also saluted with a smile.
The two horses they came with were ordinary horses. They didn't know what kind of fodder they had eaten in Jiangshan Tower. They both had diarrhea and couldn't stand up.
Not to mention riding a horse now, it would be good if the horse didn't ride them.
The two of them walked around like this for a while, but they couldn't decide what to do next.
"Hey! Boy Su Ling, boy Du Heng! We meet again!"
A thunderous shout came from the crowd.
Su Ling and Du Heng took a look, only to find that it was an old acquaintance - Huang Kuijia.
Su Ling was quite surprised, walked over quickly, gave Huang Kuijia's strong shoulder twice affectionately and said, "Old Huang, didn't you accompany that young master back to Longtai City in Kyoto? Why are you back again?"
Huang Kuijia laughed, took out a piece of paper from his waist and said, "Master Man gave this to you. Please take a closer look."
Su Ling took it, and Huang Kuijia said again: "I'll bring it to you. Su Ling and Huang are going back."
Su Ling was a little surprised and said: "Old Huang, you come and go in such a hurry, are you so sudden?"
Huang Kuijia smiled and said: "What, you can't bear to leave Lao Huang? Or are you still greedy for the wine that Lao Huang promised you?"
Su Ling smiled and said: "Of course I can't bear to leave you. It's better to have wine!"
Huang Kuijia laughed loudly and said: "Su Ling, I have something to do, so I can't delay. See you in Longtai, Kyoto. Lao Huang will be waiting for you with good wine and meat!"
With that said, he turned around and walked away.
Su Ling looked at Huang Kuijia's burly body disappearing into the crowd, and felt a little emotional in his heart. If he hadn't come to this time and space, such a heroic man might have died long ago. Then the world would really be missing this person.
A touch of color.
After Su Ling thought about it, he unfolded the paper and looked at it.
However, I discovered that it was not a message written by Manchong, but an article.
The title is exactly the three characters "Qiuxian Ling"
"Since ancient times, the kings who have been appointed to the Zhongxing Dynasty have never been able to rule the world with virtuous men and gentlemen. Even if they have found virtuous people, they have never left the alleys. How can they be lucky enough to meet each other? The people above are looking for ears. Today, the world has not yet decided.
This is a time when we are in urgent need of talents... The second and third sons have helped me to promote the humble, but only the talented can be promoted, and I can make use of them."
Su Ling's heart moved. She put the letter away and said loudly to Du Heng: "Du Heng, we have a place to go!"
Du Heng asked in confusion: "Where to go?"
Su Ling said: "Go to the place we long for, the capital of the Jin Dynasty - Longtai City!"
With that said, he headed towards the Banan City Gate first.
Du Heng nodded first, then scratched his head and said: "Hey, Su Ling, although Longtai is not too far away from here, just walking there on our own two feet will be exhausting?"
Su Ling chuckled and said: "Bus No. 11, it's time for exercise. It's your and my responsibility to travel green!"
.........
On the outskirts of Banan City, Su Ling and Du Heng were walking excitedly towards Longtai City in Kyoto.
Suddenly I saw a group of people waiting there in the distance.
As we got closer, it was indeed the case. But waiting there were women wearing pink gauze.
Those women have graceful bodies and beautiful faces. They all hold a red lantern in their bare hands, and on the lantern are written two characters in gold characters: Xixiang.
Behind these women, there was a small sedan with a group of flowers, looking indescribably graceful and noble.
Seeing Su Ling and Du Heng approaching, the women each smiled and stepped aside. Someone opened the sedan curtain, and a girl slowly walked out of the sedan.
She has a curly figure and is naturally graceful. She has ice-cold muscles and jade bones, which is extremely beautiful in the world.
The girl was dressed in a fiery red gauze dress that was as long as the floor. Her attire was as bright as fire and her style was as dreamy.
Like a blooming red peony flower.
Su Ling recognized her, it was Mu Yanqing.
I was a little dazed at the moment, standing there in trance.
Mu Yanqing, on the other hand, smiled like a warbler, walked up to him, and then winked at him, looking even more delicate and charming.
Mu Yanqing opened her red lips and said in a soft voice: "Su Ling, are you leaving?"
Su Ling finally came back to his senses and nodded unnaturally.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Mu Yanqing's eyes, and it disappeared quickly, and then she smiled softly and said, "Where have you decided to go?"
"Longtai City, Kyoto." Su Ling said softly.
Mu Yanqing sighed and said: "We have to go there after all. Su Ling, Longtai in Kyoto, at the feet of the emperor, is no better than anywhere else. Although it is prosperous like songs and the world is like a dream, it is also treacherous and treacherous, and there are even more flashes of swords in the dark.
.Are you really determined to go?"
When Su Ling heard this, he raised his head and looked at Mu Yanqing in front of him.
A red flame danced in his eyes, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
Su Ling's eyes were firm and he said word by word: "Of course I want to go, but I also want to have a good experience."
Mu Yanqing took a deep look at him, sighed, then turned around and took a brocade box from the woman next to her, holding it in her hand and saying: "You are famous now, but you are still wearing coarse clothes, no matter what
If the person who spent the night with me went to Longtai City, wouldn't he have earned the reputation of being an oiran like me? Open it and see if you like it."
Su Ling was startled for a moment, then wanted to take it.
Mu Yanqing shook her head with a sweet smile and said, "Put the box in my hand, just open it."
She just held it with her bare hands, and Su Ling didn't show any pretense and gently opened the brocade box.
What comes into view is a white gown, made of precious silk, as white as snow, soft and lingering.
Mu Yanqing said: "I secretly looked at your physique that day and carefully noted it down. I just finished it today. Do you like it?"
Su Ling felt a little moved in her heart, nodded and said: "The girl did it stitch by stitch, I like it so much."
Mu Yanqing then smiled and said, "Since you like it, let's put it on and see if it fits."
As he said that, he gently pulled the white silk gown with his bare hands, and walked directly to Su Ling's side. Without the slightest hint of a little girl's shyness, he slowly and carefully put the white gown on Su Ling.
Su Ling felt as if he was electrocuted, standing there, not daring to move.
Du Heng, on the other hand, looked at him teasingly and giggled.
Mu Yanqing put the white clothes on for him and rubbed his shoulders a few more times with her bare hands. Then she smiled softly and said, "Does the bite mark on your shoulder still hurt?"
Su Ling's shoulders felt numb, and she could only say in a low voice: "It's better...it doesn't hurt."
Mu Yanqing stroked her for a while, and then said with a soft light in her eyes, "Su Ling, I am the only one who can hurt you in this world. If anyone dares to hurt you in the future, I will make him hurt even more..."
.”
Su Ling didn't know how to answer, so he lowered his head, looking a little numb.
Mu Yanqing pursed her lips and chuckled, then took two steps back and gave her two gentle slaps.
There was already the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
But two women came leading two white horses.
Those two white horses are so handsome and elegant that they are the best breeds in the world.
Mu Yanqing took the reins of the horse and handed it to Su Ling, then said softly: "If you ride this horse to Kyoto, I will not lose my life!"
Su Ling took the horse and wanted to say something, but the words came to her lips and she couldn't say them out.
Du Heng laughed heartily and said: "Oiran lady is thoughtful, now I don't have to walk."
After doing this, Mu Yanqing turned around and slowly walked into the sedan, her fiery red gauze clothes rippling in the wind, like a burning heart.
The sedan curtain slowly fell, hiding the breathtaking beauty of the world.
The sedan chair creaked and passed by Su Ling.
A few feet away from Su Ling, the voice in the sedan chair was faint, with three parts eagerness, three parts loss, and three parts longing: "Su Ling, don't forget that you promised me to go to Jiangnan to see the red peony blossoms in bloom!"
"Su Ling, I think we will meet again soon."
............
As the beautiful woman walked away, Su Ling was stunned for a while, and then said softly: "Du Heng, get on the horse!"
After saying that, the white man moved lightly, jumped on the horse, picked up the reins, and the white horse neighed and galloped away into the distance.
As the sun sets in the west, at the end of the red sun, two white horses gallop side by side.
Immediately, the young man in white clothes looked like snow, floating proudly, as if he was the most magnificent picture in the world.
Dressed in white, with indomitable determination, he headed towards Longtai City in Kyoto——
