() While the Kaifeng governor and the master were having a headache over this case, the police officer in black had already sent the information to Qian Gui's desk.
"How could something like this happen?" Even Qian Gui was a little surprised. After all, a seven or eight-year-old child sneaked into the house to kill people. This kind of thing was beyond everyone's imagination.
But the most important thing is that Ximen Qing was involved.
I don’t know why the Liang family is so sure that Ximen Qing is closely related to the child.
"There are not many people to monitor the Liang Mansion." The black-clothed police officer said with some regret: "After all, the main surveillance team is the Shenxiao Sect. There are usually only one or two brothers in the Liang Mansion who keep an eye on this child. They have indeed seen this child before.
.But just treat him like an ordinary beggar.”
Qian Gui shook his head and said: "You are not to blame for this matter. The most important thing now is to inform Master Ximen of this matter quickly and tell him the complete news in our hands. I believe that Master Ximen has his own
way of handling.”
"That Liang Le has a conflict with him, and I think he is going to make a big fuss. Tell Mr. Ximen that I need someone here, and if you need anything, just ask!"
"Yes!" The police officer in black looked serious.
Ximen Qing is not at home at the moment. After getting married, he has been really enjoying himself at home for a few days. He and Pan Jinlian and Xueer are like twists and turns. They are not separated at all times, which makes Hua Yuerong very unhappy.
.
This morning, Ximen Qing passed by the backyard and heard the sound of horses neighing. He saw Shutong'er leading the tall horse and gliding in the backyard, and then he remembered that there was such a thing.
"I'm so obsessed with Wenwen Township that I almost forgot about this!" Ximen Qing personally promised to send the horse back to Zhang Yu after the wedding, but he unexpectedly forgot about it.
This piece of jade is also mysterious. Not only did he generously lend a horse to Ximen Qing, but he also asked someone to send him a gift box, which actually contained a fine Hepu Nanzhu necklace.
Although the southern beads on this necklace are not big in size, they are all round and similar in size. In the Northern Song Dynasty, they could be regarded as "traveling beads"; of course, if they were artificially bred in later generations, they would not be counted.
valuable.
But these southern pearls are all fished from the bottom of the sea by Hepu eggmen, often with their own lives. It is not easy to get so many of the same kind, which shows how precious they are.
At that time, both Ximen Qing and the fortune teller Jiang Jing were surprised when they saw the gift box, but they forgot about it when they got busy. Looking back now, Ximen Qing felt more and more that the background of this jade was not simple, and it was not that of an ordinary businessman.
The big black horse was tied next to the car, and he first came to the old Suanzao Gate to look for Lu Zhishen.
When they arrived at the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple, Ximen Qing and Wu Song asked the boy to look at the car outside the courtyard. When the two came in, Lu Zhishen was posing in the garden, teaching the rogues some boxing and kicking skills.
"Senior brother is really thoughtful." Wu Song saw that those rogue settlers were quite diligent and said with joy, "It must be for the Imperial City Department's assessment."
Lu Zhishen turned around and saw that it was Ximen Qing and Wu Song who were coming, and hurriedly responded: "Oh, these bird people are quite attentive, but those who are not attentive would have been unable to bear it and left. But this punch... Look, they are twisted and loose.
, how decent it is!”
"They are new at least, so give them more opportunities." Ximen Qing smiled and said that he was going to visit Zhang Yu and change horses at the same time.
Lu Zhishen nodded and said: "That brother is also a straightforward person. He is willing to lend such a good horse to the Sa family just by chance. If he is in the world, he can be considered a good man!"
"You guys wait, wait for Sajia to change into clothes, and then go teach these birdmen, Sajia is sweating all over!"
Ximen Qing and Wu Song both laughed when they saw Lu Zhishen's bald head and sweaty face. Lu Zhishen also avoided suspicion and went to the well to fetch two buckets of cold water. He stripped naked and wiped his body before putting on a new suit.
After giving instructions to the monks, they followed Ximen Qing and Wu Song out.
"Sajia is out for something, so you should all practice hard. If anyone is lazy, Sajia's Zen staff will break his leg!"
Those rogues settled down because they first heard about the opportunity to enter the Imperial City Division, and secondly, they were really afraid of Lu Zhishen, so they all flattered him and sent him outside the garden.
"Senior brother, why are you still wearing monk's clothes? Is it because you are greedy for ascetics and are unwilling to return to secular life?" Ximen Qing got on the carriage and saw that Lu Zhishen was still dressed as a monk, so he asked casually.
Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and said: "I actually told Abbot Zhiqing two days ago that I wanted to return the ultimatum. Who would have thought that the bald donkey would push back and insist on saying that the Sa family was born in Mount Wutai. Even if he wanted to return to secular life, he would have to go to Mount Wutai for Manjusri.
Only Elder Yuan Zhizhen can do it."
"I heard that Elder Zhizhen is a living Buddha-like figure. If you have the opportunity, you must pay a visit." Ximen Qing thought for a while and said: "Anyway, Daxiangguo Temple can't control you. It's just that if you haven't returned to secular life.
When we have time, I will go with you to Mount Wutai to pay homage to the Living Buddha and seek a future."
"That's what the official said." Lu Zhishen sighed: "When I was in Wenshu Monastery, all the monks in the temple treated the Sa family poorly. Only the elders looked at the Sa family differently."
Ximen Qing laughed heartily after hearing this. You have destroyed all the pavilions on the mountainside and the King Kong at the mountain gate. Except for Elder Zhizhen who can endure it, who else can be kind to you?
Wu Song heard this and said: "In that case, Wu Song will also go to the living Buddha to inquire about his future."
The three of them talked all the way and then arrived at the Wuzhang River. The painting boy pointed his riding whip and said: "Master, look at the horses drinking water by the river over there. Could it be Master Zhang's?"
After hearing this, Ximen Qing and others jumped out of the cart and walked up to the front to take a look. Sure enough, there was a group of about twenty or thirty horses drinking water by the river, with two horsemen beside them.
"Officials, these horses are all superb, they are very good." Lu Zhishen also pointed and said to Ximen Qing and Wu Song.
Ximen Qing stopped, watched from a distance, and commented with Wu Song; the two horsemen must have seen someone coming here, so they flew out and came this way.
Wu Song could see clearly, wasn't it Zhang Yu who had borrowed the horse so generously? He looked like a businessman at that time, but now he had changed into a more fashionable outfit, and he looked very energetic on the horse.
"Although this man is a businessman, he actually has such good riding skills!"
Ximen Qing was slightly surprised. Zhang Yu had already come closer. He dismounted from his saddle and saluted, "Who is it? It turns out to be Sir! I have met Lord Ximen, and I have met Lord Wu!"
Before Ximen Qing could say anything, Lu Zhishen burst out laughing next to him: "You are a man who only has grown-ups in your eyes, so why don't you forget about the Sa family?"
Zhang Yu looked around and recognized that Lu Zhishen was the one who used the horse. He was surprised and said: "I didn't recognize him that day. It turns out he is the master. It's a sin!"
After Zhang Yu bowed deeply, Lu Zhishen hurriedly helped him up and said, "Why be so polite! The Sa family changed into casual clothes that day. Of course you don't know."
Ximen Qing then introduced Lu Zhishen: "I was in a hurry that day, so I didn't introduce him. This senior brother's surname is Lu, and his dharma title is Shangzhixiashen."
"It turns out to be the famous Hua Monk!" Zhang Yu couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "I didn't expect that Zhang Yu would be so lucky to meet the master!"
Lu Zhishen said a few polite words, and Ximen Qing ordered the painting boy to untie the big black horse and bring it over: "Today, I want to return the horse, and secondly, I have something to discuss with you. It would be disrespectful to send you two jars of fine wine!"
"Sir, Chuixuelou has been very prosperous recently!" Zhang Yu said: "There is a temporary tent set up next to the horse pen over there. Please come to that room to talk!"
When he walked to the horse pen, there were more than a hundred horses inside, and there were indeed two or three large tents on one side. Ximen Qing couldn't help but think of the short military camp life when he accompanied Liangshan to attack Zengtou City. Zhang Yu took the three people
He went into the tent and sat down, and then asked his servants to serve tea: "The conditions here are simple, and there is only some coarse tea. I am neglecting you three!"
"You are just too polite. There are no adults here today. You and I are similar in age, so we can call each other brothers!" Ximen Qing laughed and said, "You can't talk anymore if you are an adult."
Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The official said this, brother, you are so shameless."
"That's right." Lu Zhishen took the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to say anything."
Ximen Qing also picked it up and took a sip, thought for a while and asked: "I saw that there are many good horses here, brother, but such horses are rarely seen in Bianliang City. Could it be that they are all sold from the north? Merchants are originally buying and selling, but brother
It’s not easy to transport horses thousands of miles away, so don’t blame me for talking too much, how much profit can I make?”
"Indeed, this horse dealer comes here to look for opportunities to sell to those dignitaries, and to the cavalry of the Forbidden Army." Zhang Yu replied calmly: "To be honest, neither of these two places cares about the price.
Horses bought from the north cost only twenty or thirty guan to sixty or seventy guan, why don't you guess how much it costs to sell them to others?"
Lu Zhishen interrupted: "At least a hundred strings? Otherwise, I'm afraid my brother will suffer a loss."
Zhang Yu smiled and shook his head, stretched out three fingers and said: "The price for selling to the Forbidden Army must be at least this amount. As for high-ranking officials, it depends on the price. There may be thousands of guan."
Zhang Yu's three fingers naturally represented the three hundred coins. This price made Ximen Qing secretly take a breath.
The number of horses in the Forbidden Army is at least tens of thousands, and the cost of buying and raising horses is an astronomical figure.
Even those bloody soldiers in Liangshan, taking 500 people as an example, would need at least more than 100,000 guan!
Ximen Qing did not expect that buying a good horse in the Northern Song Dynasty would cost such a price.
"Brother, give me all your horses." Ximen Qing gritted his teeth and asked, "I wonder if it can be cheaper?"
Zhang Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide after hearing this, stood up and said: "If my brother promises me one thing, not to mention these more than a hundred horses, even more brothers will give it to me for free!"
"How do you say this?" Ximen Qing suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Zhang Yu’s behavior is so unlike that of a businessman!
What made Ximen Qing and others even more unexpected was that Zhang Yu took two steps, turned around and knelt down in front of the three of them with a "pop"! The fastest way to read the novel "The Master" is on Kanshu.com, welcome to log in. Read the full text
