"In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated to Baling County. In the next year, the government will be harmonious and people will be harmonious, and all kinds of waste will be prosperous... Sigh!... Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. If you live high in a temple, you will worry about the people. If you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry.
His Majesty... He must say, "Be anxious when the world is worried first, and be happy when the world is happy later"! Alas! Who can I return to, people from Weisi?"
At first, the whole building was silent and you could hear a needle drop. Suddenly, it was like a strong wind, and the cheers were like thunder soaring into the sky. Hairpins, bead ornaments, hair flowers, silk handkerchiefs and even bellybands fell like rain and snow, almost covering the entire building.
The floor patio area is fully paved.
"You... you... steal other people's poems and articles so openly. You, you, you... are thieves, poetry thieves. I don't even bother to be in the same room with you, hum!".z.br
Ren Jinhan's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping with water. He glared angrily and pointed at Rong Fei and scolded loudly.
But the building was filled with cheers and applause. No matter how much he raised his voice, it could not reach far, and few people could hear it.
Seeing that the failure of the plan was a foregone conclusion, Ren Jinhan, who felt that his face had been completely lost, was not in the mood to stay any longer. After glaring at Rong Fei for a few times, he stomped away bitterly.
"Although this guy looked weak before, he still looked like a man to a certain extent. Now his expression is so girly."
Rong Fei looked at Ren Jinhan's leaving figure and murmured in a low voice.
There is another point that Rong Fei has not thought about: he has no enmity with Ren Jinhan, so why would he target him tonight?
Fan Jian walked around the table in front of him, walked up to Rong Fei and shouted loudly.
"My surname is Rongchi. This matter is not over yet. Let's wait and see."
After shouting, he took another peek at Yun Xiang, who was still bending his head to read Yueyang Tower, and then followed Ren Jinhan angrily and reluctantly.
Could it be out of brotherly loyalty?
Maybe...broken sleeves?
Rong Fei shuddered.
Why choose "The Story of Yueyang Tower" to end?
In fact, Rong Fei himself can't explain the specific reasons. It's just some impressions after coming to Kyoto. In Rong Fei's view, the city of Kyoto, from officials to pedlars, is a little too comfortable.
There are demons in the north who are watching eagerly, barbarians from the sea people in the south who are constantly harassing us, and there are still remnants of the hundreds of kingdoms competing for supremacy in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, not to mention the cultivation world that has no means of suppression since the Ascension of the Catcher God.
On the surface, Dayan now seems to be in peace, but in reality there are undercurrents and many crises. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the Yong Party's rebellion.
What worried Rong Fei the most were two things.
The first is the assassination of Fan Liren.
The men in black who carried out the assassination were obviously the dead soldiers. Who raised the dead soldiers? How many dead soldiers were raised? Why did Emperor Yan not want to continue the investigation?
The second thing is the missing persons case that Rong Fei is investigating.
Kyoto has a population of millions, so proportionally speaking, more than a thousand people disappear every year, which doesn't seem to be a lot.
First of all, these thousands only include missing young women and children. If we add in the number of men, the elderly and the weak, who are currently under investigation in Kyoto Prefecture, there will be nearly 2,000 missing cases a year.
Secondly, Chen Xiusong, governor of Kyoto, stipulates that no case will be filed if missing for more than three days. In addition, people are naturally resistant to reporting to the official. Therefore, Rong Fei guessed that the actual number of people missing in Kyoto City in a year is very likely
Over five thousand or more.
This is the city of Kyoto, the most virtuous place at the feet of the emperor, and this is so. What about the more than seventy states outside Kyoto?
Where do these people who disappear every year go?
Is there any connection between the missing persons case and the assassins of Fan Liren?
Although there is currently no evidence to prove that the two things are related, Rong Fei has this hunch in his heart.
Therefore, Rong Feicai wanted to use "The Story of Yueyang Tower" to give people in Kyoto a warning.
Worry when the world is worried first, and rejoice when the world is happy later!
In the future, if I have the opportunity, I can write the entire story of "Born in Sorrow, Die in Peace".
The whole ten years of rebirth may be related to the previous life.
Certain dynasties have many similarities, and Rong Fei has a deep sense of identity and belonging to this world.
He hoped that this prosperity and peace could be maintained for a long time, instead of being destroyed by conspiracy and war like Bianliang.
Various women's belongings are still flying down like snowflakes and raindrops. There is no need to count them. The winner of tonight's poem duel has already been decided.
The purpose of coming to Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building tonight had been achieved. If we stayed any longer, something might happen, so Rong Fei took advantage of the chaos and sneaked out of the building.
The fresh and cool night breeze outside shook Rong Fei's spirits. He spread out his arms and stretched his body. Just when he was hesitating whether to go back to the Xuanwu Hutong Courtyard or the Jixian Si Yamen, he heard someone laughing in the shadows across the street.
"Yun Xiang's clothes make her look more beautiful! Could it be that Miss Yunxiang didn't ask Rong to stay the night? That would be a bit stingy."
There was a strong smell of vinegar in his voice.
Ji Rouer, dressed as a man, walked out of the shadows and joked in her original voice.
Rong Fei smiled slightly and was about to greet him when he heard a rush of footsteps behind him.
Turning around, he saw a maid trotting out of the gate of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building, ran to Rong Fei and said breathlessly.
"Rong... Lord Rong, please stay. I...my girl will ask you to come upstairs to talk."
Rong Fei didn't recognize this maid, and guessed that it had nothing to do with Yun Xiang, so she didn't bother to ask which girl invited her, so she declined the invitation politely.
The moment Rong Fei raised his hands and was about to touch his chest, the maid suddenly let out an ouch and staggered towards Rong Fei's arms.
Although he was standing well, he fell over at any time. Rong Fei felt strange in his heart and moved his right foot half a step sideways, while stretching out an arm to support the maid.
After all, Ji Rouer is watching from across the street, so she should avoid taboos.
"careful!"
A somewhat familiar voice came from the top of his head. Rong Fei had no time to think and distinguish, and his body immediately retreated. This retreat was already using spiritual power, and his two calves glowed with a blue halo, leaving afterimages in place.
In the blink of an eye, he was two feet away.
But the maid was also naked, and continued to pursue him like a shadow, stabbing Rong Fei in the heart with the black-painted dagger in her hand.
Rong Fei turned his back and retreated, while the maid pursued him from behind.
Rong Fei had the spiritual power to help him retreat quickly, but he was not as fast as the maid who was also a monk. Just when he was about to be stabbed in the heart by a dagger, a clear light flashed in Rong Fei's arms.
The clear light disappeared in an instant, and Rong Fei's heart seemed to have suddenly grown a tumor, making the clothes there bulge.
Ding~
Amidst the sound of metal clashing, the dagger in the maid's hand swung high and she almost lost her grip.
At the same time, the maid felt her body sink, and invisible pressure enveloped her from all directions, trying to forcefully trap her.
Rong Fei couldn't help but feel the sharp pain in his heart, and grabbed the maid's shoulders with his hands like claws.
On the other hand, Ji Rouer gave a sweet shout and took a bow and arrow posture to rescue Rong Fei, but in the end, there was no reaction at all, and she couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Just when Rong Fei was about to grab the maid's shoulder, the maid suddenly broke free from the restraints of pseudo-awesome energy. She ducked like a loach to avoid Rong Fei's grasp, and then quickly retreated.
Rong Fei's claws fell into the air, and his right hand immediately turned into a knife, and struck the retreating maid with a mad knife with wind-breathing powers.
puff!
The maid was hit in the back by an invisible knife, and her body trembled and a large mouthful of blood spurted out. However, she also used this momentum to escape faster and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
"Sister Rou, go back to the building and wait for me."
After Rong Fei shouted to Ji Rou'er, he stretched out his hand to attract two wisps of breeze to wrap around his legs, and used his spiritual power to catch up.
With the blessing of the magical power of seeing through the wall, Rong Fei quickly locked the maid's escape direction, and chased after her with his legs running like flying.
At the same time, he was also thinking and analyzing in his mind, who wanted to kill him.
In the city of Kyoto, monks were sent to assassinate the head of the Immortal Division. Such a crazy move, even if
The Four Holy Lands, who regarded Ji Xian Si as a thorn in their side, did not dare to stop.
Rong Fei had only been in Kyoto for just over half a month, and he did not have time to offend too many people and forces. The only people who had direct conflicts were Fan Li, the left minister of household affairs, and Chang Huai'en, the dandy.
Although the failure of King Yong's attempt to force the palace was also caused by Rong Fei's finding of the jade seal, Emperor Yan Zhu Sheng kept this matter secret. Therefore, the remnants of the Yong Party in Kyoto and the King of Yong Zhu Cheng who left the fiefdom are not aware of Rong Fei's role in it.
Naturally, there will be no trouble with him.
After thinking about it, Fan Li and Chang Huaien were the two most suspects.
Although Fan Li's second son was accepted as an official disciple by Qiankun Temple last year, Fan Li also has some connections in the spiritual world. It is not strange to spend a lot of money to hire one or two monks to do shady things, but he was excluded by Rong Fei first.
suspicion.
Fan Li is not a fool, and using this method to retaliate against Rong Fei is not worth the gain.
Although Chang Huaien took the initiative to express his intention to reconcile this morning, and his words and deeds were as useless as the rumors in Kyoto, Rong Fei always felt that this kid was by no means simple, but the most suspicious.
Apart from these two people, there may be another possibility.
The murder just now is related to the missing persons case that Rong Fei is investigating.
But these are just speculations. As long as the assassination maid is caught, Rong Fei has a hundred ways to make her confess honestly.
Concentrating his thoughts, Rong Fei used all his strength to catch up.
But as he chased after him, he was shocked to find that he couldn't run as fast as his opponent.
Just now, the distance between Rong Fei and the maid was only about one mile. In just a few breaths, the distance actually reached one and a half miles.
At this time, Rong Fei was already using all his strength to catch up, and with the help of his wind-breathing magical power, the assassinated maid fell further and further behind.
Through the spiritual power seen through the wall, Rong Fei saw the maid heading straight to the north gate.
Although the four city gates of Kyoto have not been closed for hundreds of years, they are guarded by Imperial Guards day and night.
However, in front of the maid's speed as fast as the wind, the imperial army guarding the city gate was nothing more than a decoration, and there was no time to stop her.
The magical power of seeing through the wall has a distance limit and cannot be used for a long time.
As long as the maid assassin runs out of the range of the magical power of Separate Wall Insight, she will lose her trace.
Rong Fei was a little anxious. He kept walking and thought quickly about other ways to catch up with the maid assassin.
At this moment, Rong Fei used his spiritual power to see that the maid assassin suddenly turned into an alley, turned over and entered a small courtyard.
After entering the hospital, I first took off my maid's clothes and put them in a brazier to burn them all, then fetched a bucket of water from the well to wash off the makeup on my face and restore it to its original appearance. Then I entered the house and put my slippers on the bed, and fell asleep in a short time.
