Liu Chengfeng suddenly thought of someone, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
With a Jiangxi accent, a noble person, and many followers, Liu Chengfeng was almost certain that this person was definitely not a merchant. If he was a merchant, he would try to keep a low profile. This is a very simple truth. A merchant who sells goods is easy to see.
It can be seen that he is a noble person, and he has a lot of slaves with him. Unless this person is crazy, he has been worried about ten or eight times. Not to mention the government's attempt to exploit him, those little bullies are enough to make them drink.
Of the pot.
When a rich man goes to a foreign country, who would deliberately show off? For a foreigner, of course, the lower profile the better. Then the only possibility is that this person is not afraid of being remembered at all, and his status is extraordinary.
As for the nobles from Jiangxi, besides Prince Ning and his son who had been staying near the capital, who else could there be?
"Could it be that Prince Ning is also a disciple of the Guangming Sect?" A thought popped up in Liu Chengfeng's mind, but he immediately gave up the idea. What is Prince Ning's identity? Last time, Secretary Wang made it clear that the Guangming Sect
The winding paths inside are clear, and what kind of Buddha should be worshiped according to the status. For example, the people who lived in this room before worshiped the Guangming Buddha. It was clearly a person of Lei Biao's level who worshiped it. Even with the status of Prince Ning, he was a fool.
Even if you join the Guangming Sect, you will never be on the same level as Lei Biao.
"Yes, this is the room where King Ning's followers live. In other words, some of King Ning's followers are believers. But does King Ning know this, and does he have anything to do with the Guangming Sect?"
Liu Chengfeng thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find a clue. He just felt that Prince Ning might not have anything to do with the Guangming Sect. After all, the retinue brought into the capital must have been selected by Prince Ning and they knew everything about them.
There were people among them who were devout and religious, how could Prince Ning not know about it?
But even so, Liu Chengfeng can't do anything. After all, Prince Ning is Prince Ning. To put it harshly, even if Prince Ning carries the Jade Buddha, Liu Chengfeng can't do anything to him. After all, this person is too noble, unless
There is irrefutable proof, otherwise no one can do anything to him.
But at least Liu Chengfeng knew that Lei Biao and Prince Ning were involved, and he also knew that the snobbery of the Guangming Sect was not only in the capital, but also in Jiangxi.
While Liu Chengfeng was thinking wildly, chatter and laughter could be heard outside, and the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. Wen Chenxi and Wen Chenruo entered the house while laughing and talking.
"Brother-in-law, I brought the sweet-scented osmanthus for you." Wen Chenruo spoke first, holding a large handful of sweet-scented osmanthus branches in her hands. The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the branches were as fresh as nails, bringing out the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
In addition to Wen Chenruo holding it, several of the followers behind him also held a large bundle. One of them smiled and said: "Sir, when we went to pick osmanthus, the monks were not allowed to do it. The villain took out a bundle.
They are willing to let us do whatever we want after we exchange money. Do you want that money..."
Liu Chengfeng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, this is the incense money you gave yourself. This is to accumulate virtue for your good deeds. There is no reason to give money to a monk and ask for it from others."
He set up the table, ordered people to bring some utensils from the car, and asked Wen Chenxi and his sisters to pick off the sweet-scented osmanthus and cut it into pieces with scissors. Then he filled a small bottle with water and covered it with gauze.
Bottle cap, start to move.
People on the side were confused when they saw Liu Chengfeng's actions. Wen Chenruo cut the petals and asked, "My brother-in-law is so mysterious, what on earth is he doing?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "You will know when the time comes. If you cut it properly, I will give you some good things when the time comes."
After tinkering for a while, the chopped petals were put into the clear water, and filtered with a covered cloth. Liu Chengfeng asked someone to bring some liquid that had been prepared from the car, mixed it with the petals and the clear water, and took it.
He took off the cork and capped the bottle, shook it evenly, put the vial away, and said with a smile: "It's done." After that, he said to Wen Chenxi: "The scenery here is pretty good, I heard there is a monster over there against the mountain gate.
Shi, let’s go over there and have a look.”
Wen Chenxi nodded her head and said with a smile, "Just follow my husband."
Wen Chenruo said: "I want to go too."
Liu Chengfeng looked hesitant and said to Wen Chenxi: "Since Chenruo is here, let's go together." Wen Chenxi looked a little embarrassed.
Under the setting sun, outside the solemn mountain gate, Liu Chengfeng and Wen Chenxi sat side by side on a large oval stone, looking at the gurgling stream at the foot of the mountain. Wen Chenxi leaned his head slightly on Liu Chengfeng's shoulder, tenderly.
Her body was trembling slightly, Liu Chengfeng put his hands around her slender waist, and his mind couldn't help but flutter. Looking down, he saw the bare peach grove, the straight official road, and in the distance there were pontoons and a curved river.
Wen Chenxi sighed quietly and said, "It's a pity that there is no bright spring at this time, otherwise the peach blossoms would bloom. How great would it be to enjoy the peach grove with my husband?"
Liu Chengfeng pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It would be nice to admire this bare peach tree if I could be with you."
The two of them were talking in a low voice, and a head poked out from behind. Wen Chenruo frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, please move away, I have no place to sit."
Liu Chengfeng's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help sighing, so he had to move away a little. Wen Chenruo inserted himself between the two of them, and finally squeezed out a position. He leaned on Liu Chengfeng on his left shoulder, and on Wen Chenxi with his right hand.
He looked into the distance with his eyes and said: "Look, there are many people riding horses over the official road. It's so dense that you can't see the end. I'm afraid there are hundreds of people."
Liu Chengfeng originally wanted to scold her, but after listening to her words, he followed her gaze and saw a heavy cavalry heading towards Zhaoming Temple from the direction of the capital.
When those knights came closer, Liu Chengfeng squinted and recognized that they were wearing Feiyu uniforms. He couldn't help but feel strange and thought, "What are so many Jin Yiwei doing here at this time?"
Liu Chengfeng said to Wen Chenxi, "You and Chenruo will stay away for now and go to the room to drink tea while I go and find out what's going on."
After saying that, Liu Chengfeng jumped down from the big rock first, stretched out his hand, and led the sisters down, letting the servants lead Chen Xi. Chen Ruo entered the temple, and then he went down the stone steps under the mountain gate alone, and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
, they saw that the leader was actually the commander Mou Bin. Mou Bin's horse had been led and tied to the horse post, with a gloomy face, obviously he did not expect to meet Liu Chengfeng here.
Behind him, the hundreds of households, general flags, small flags, school captains, etc. all got off their horses. It seemed that they were breathing heavily because they were rushing on the road.
Liu Chengfeng came over, saluted Mu Bin, and said, "Why are you here, sir?"
Mou Bin said sternly: "A big event has happened in Beitong Prefecture's Thousand Households Office. I am taking people to Beitong Prefecture to take a look. The people are tired and the horses are exhausted. Let's take a rest here and ask the novice here to get some horse feed to feed the horses."
While the two were talking, the school captain had already gone to negotiate with the monks in the temple. Mou Bin did not shy away from Liu Chengfeng. In his heart, although Liu Chengfeng acted erratically, he was still one of his own.
Chengfeng entered the temple and said: "Deng Tong from Qianhusuo, Qianhusuo, Beitong Prefecture, suddenly disappeared a few days ago. At first, I thought he was just delayed by something, and Qianhusuo didn't care. Later, he found something wrong and went to his house.
I searched all my relatives and friends, but no one was found. Last night, news came from Beitongzhou, saying that Deng Tong’s body had been found. It was found ten miles downstream of the canal. Before he died,
There were obvious stab wounds, and his throat was sealed with a knife."
Mou Bin's face became solemn and he continued: "The dignified Beizhen Prefecture Si Qianhu, a fifth-rank military attaché of the imperial court, was unexpectedly killed. Besides, the Beitong Prefecture Qianhu Station has always been crucial. This matter
I'm afraid that it involves the interests of our Jin Yiwei in Tongzhou. We must thoroughly investigate who did it and who instigated it. We will never let this matter go."
If we talk about the Qianhu Stations of Jinyiwei, apart from the inner city guards, the most important ones are the Qianhu Stations in Tongzhou, Nanjing, and Tianjin in the north and south. Almost the Qianhu Stations in these places must be commanding envoys.
His confidant, Deng Tong suddenly died suddenly, and it was obvious that he was killed by someone. Once this happened, it is no wonder that Mou Bin felt nervous.
What are the Jinyiwei? They are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the Jinyiwei Qianhu is even more extraordinary. Anyone who dares to kill the Jinyiwei Qianhu is either a person with power over the world, or he must be a rebel. No wonder Mou Bin is so nervous.
Liu Chengfeng comforted him: "My lord, don't be impatient. The top priority right now is to quickly appease the brothers in the Qianhu Office in Beitongzhou so that they don't have to panic. On the other hand, your Excellency will personally arrange the affairs of the Qianhu Office and then investigate the culprits."
Nothing serious will happen."
Mou Bin shook his head and said: "You don't understand, this matter is too strange. Before Deng Tong died, he only said that he was going to a banquet and did not bring any personal guards. This means that the person who entertained Deng Tong must have had a close relationship with him.
And according to people in his family, Deng Tong was very anxious for a while before he died. Could it be that Deng Tong knew that he was in danger? Why didn't he take anyone to the banquet since he knew that he was in danger? Liu Chengfeng, you
You are a smart man, and I will not fight with you. Think about it, is it easy for this person to kill Deng Tong?"
Liu Chengfeng didn't even think about it and said, "It's definitely not simple."
Mou Bin nodded and said: "Furthermore, if an ordinary person wanted to kill Deng Tong for personal enmity, he would have acted like he died violently. But these people who killed Deng Tong did it blatantly and cut him with knives."
They grabbed his neck and threw him into the water. They did this with confidence. I am afraid that my visit this time may not be able to straighten things out in Beitongzhou."
