In the city of Chang'an, the little maid Sangsang only had two friends with whom she could talk. One was Li Yu, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the other was Xiaocao, the personal maid of the Jian family.
The status of the princess of the Tang Dynasty and the maidservant of the brothel are very different, but there is no difference in the attitude between Sangsang and the two of them. They are both so ordinary and ordinary, and they are silent most of the time, playing the role of audience.
Xiaocao patted the railing twice, looked at Sangsang next to her and asked curiously: "I've heard of bookworms, it seems like one of the three idiots in the world. I've heard that she should be very famous. She looks like
Is it beautiful?”
Sangsang nodded.
Xiaocao said angrily: "Men are indeed not good things."
Sangsang looked at her with some confusion.
Xiaocao emphasized and explained: "I'm talking about that young master of yours."
Sangsang became more and more puzzled.
Xiaocao looked at her anxiously and said, "Now the whole Chang'an City knows that Ning Que brought back a beautiful woman from a long trip. Aren't you worried at all?"
Sangsang looked at her and asked seriously: "What should I worry about?"
Xiaocao held her hand and said worriedly: "According to your usual words, you often sleep with your young master, so it is absolutely impossible for you to marry anyone else. You will definitely be his concubine in the future. As a result, he
I brought a woman home without saying a word to you. I guess she has no affection for you. If that woman marries your young master and becomes your housewife in the future, what will you do?"
Sangsang looked down at his hands that were holding the railing tightly. After a long silence, he said softly: "Young masters always want to marry when they get older. When the young master and I came to your building for the first time, when we returned to the shop,
We have been discussing who is suitable to be a young mistress, so even if he wants to marry a bookworm girl, I won’t think anything of it.”
"Do you want them to die? Where do you want them to die? Or do you want them to die? After spending more than half a year in the wasteland, when I came back to Chang'an City, I stopped studying in the academy and went to hang out in a brothel. I really don't know what to do.
What exactly are you being taught by Boss He? Are you really planning to spend your whole life wallowing in the world of mortals once you join the world?"
Everyone stared at Ning Que in front of them, with dissatisfaction written all over their broad foreheads, and scolded him repeatedly.
Ning Que stood obediently, not even daring to argue. The ordinary-looking woman in front of him was not an ordinary woman. Not to mention that she held the brothel rules in Chang'an City, and waited for her to hold her own sex.
Fu, he wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in just talking about the vague connections between her, her junior uncle, and the academy.
After visiting the Demon Sect Mountain Gate and listening to Liansheng's memories, he has confirmed that the woman named Xiaoxiao who died tragically in front of Lanke Temple must have something to do with the Red Sleeve Move.
He died in a rage and took the sword to destroy the demon sect. The second senior brother said that the young junior uncle and
Aunt Jian is familiar with her, so what kind of story happened between them? He could have asked Jian everyone his questions and mentioned the woman named Xiaoxiao, but he thought it was a sad story from the past after all, why bother letting his predecessors
They were heartbroken again in vain, so they never said anything.
He suddenly thought that Aunt Jian would really like to know the news about his junior uncle, and said, "I have inherited his mantle."
Everyone Jian was slightly startled, and asked with a trembling voice: "Haoran Sword?"
Ning Bu nodded and said, "Yes."
Everyone Jian looked at him in disbelief, then frowned deeply, leaned forward slightly, stared into his eyes and asked with a very serious look: "It's just the Haoran Sword?"
Ning Que was stunned and nodded again.
Everyone Jian received his confirmation and suddenly felt relaxed. His body was exhausted and he leaned back and said, "That's good."
Ning Que looked at her expression, and his heart moved slightly, wondering if Aunt Jian also knew the truth about how his junior uncle became possessed by the devil?
"I don't want you to take advantage of him."
Everyone Jian looked at him and said earnestly: "If you want the world to recognize that you are qualified to represent the academy in the WTO, you must undergo a lot of hardships. When he rode a little black donkey into Chang'an City, he was just a young scholar in blue shirt. In the end, because of
Unable to control my own mind, I caused so many storms in the world, and finally ended up with a tragic end without a burial place, so you must remember to keep a low profile and be calm during this time, and don't offend too many people."
This was the second time in today's conversation that Ning Que heard Aunt Jian seriously mention the word "joining the world". He couldn't help but be a little confused, thinking about what it was. He also heard that the other party used the term "little master uncle" to warn him, and he couldn't help but
He smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I am not a strong man like my junior uncle. If there is any storm, I will hide in the academy."
"Don't think that the academy is really the best in the world. If the academy can really solve all the problems in the world, how could your junior uncle end up like that? What's the use of cutting off all the peach blossoms on that mountain afterwards?"
Everyone Jian said coldly, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were full of resentment.
That was resentment towards the Academy and even towards the Master.
Because Tang law stipulated that academy students were not allowed to join the army after graduation, so unlike most civil servants in the court who came from academies and were closely related to academies, the relationship between the Tang military and academies had always been somewhat alienated.
Especially in recent times, powerful figures in the military, represented by General Xu Shi, have even become strongly wary of outsiders in the academy, especially those in the mountains behind the academy.
What turned this vigilance into reality was a letter from Shiyang City.
In the memorial, Xia Hou, the general of the Zhenjun Army with outstanding military exploits, sincerely requested to return to his old age. The words were full of fatigue and discouragement. After seeing this memorial, many generals in the military felt sad, especially
Before the top few dignitaries knew that Xiahou was determined to return to his old age, Mr. Xi and Mr. Thirteen went to Tuyang City and had a long talk with Xiahou in the winter garden, and they became even more angry.
The private transfer of elite soldiers into the wilderness is vaguely related to the old case of Chun more than ten years ago. Many people in the Tang Dynasty military did not like Xiahou. However, they insisted that this was the military's own problem. Even if Xiahou had to be dealt with, it could only be done by His Majesty.
Or the imperial court may deal with it, but it is not the academy's turn to deal with it. As for Xiahou being a guest of the Xiling Temple, in the eyes of the Tang people who are also Haotian believers, it is not a big deal at all.
Of course, no one dared to doubt the Master, but the Master had not appeared in the human world for several years, and even His Majesty the Emperor had not seen him for a long time, so the military believed that this was only the fault of the people behind the academy.
"I believe that if Master knew about this, he would not allow those people in the back mountain to act so wantonly."
Xu Shi said coldly: "Practitioners should practice and should not interfere with government affairs. Just like those two unknown places deep in the mountains or wilderness, there is no need to connect those who are outside the world and those who are inside the world.
?Why bother joining the world?”
"How is the investigation going on that case?" he asked.
"Censor Zhang Yiqi did have an iron nail in his mind. The Chang'an government office protected the evidence quite well, but they did not continue to investigate at that time. When General Xuanwei's deputy Chen Zixian died in the iron shop, the old pen shop did not open the door that day.
."
"In the early morning after the death of Yan Suqing, a former military document appraiser, the Yulin Army found a piece of clothing material deliberately left behind by the murderer. They also found a coat in another courtyard. Because it was a garment from Lanxiufang, this clue could not be traced.
, but based on the investigation of the murder scene and the wounds on his clothes, it can be confirmed that the murderer was seriously injured."
A military official said: "Two days after Yan Suqing's death, it happened to be the academy's final exam. According to the students' memories, Ning Que originally made an appointment with Xie Chengyun, a talented man from the Southern Jin Dynasty, to bet on the exam results. However, at that time, they continued to
I asked for two days' leave, and this matter has caused quite an uproar in the academy, so I can't fake it."
Xu Shi said with a cold voice: "If you are seriously injured, you will naturally need to take leave."
The Tang Dynasty's military was extremely powerful. Once it began to comprehensively investigate a matter, it instantly displayed extremely powerful actions and extremely high efficiency. It didn't take long to find so many clues. It was really scary!
These seemingly inconspicuous clues are like a net, pointing to a vague figure, which seems to indicate that the student named Ning Que, who is on the second floor of the academy, is inseparable from the murder cases.
"Nothing can be doubted, because once you start to doubt, you can seek verification with a purpose, and you can find a lot of evidence just by asking for verification. Otherwise, who would believe that the master's direct disciple turned out to be a cold-blooded murderer."
Xu Shi said expressionlessly: "I don't want to know the connection behind these murders, and I don't want to know who Ning Que is or what grudges he has against these deceased people. I just want to confirm whether he has violated Tang law."
The official shook his head after thinking for a moment and said: "The existing evidence is not enough to explain anything."
Xu Shi's eyebrows were slightly lame, and he seemed a little worried.
The official looked at him in confusion and asked in a low voice: "Actually...even if the evidence of Ning Que's involvement in the case is really found, is it really possible to go to the back of the academy to arrest him and put him on trial? General, just look at this matter according to your humble position.
Alright.
Xu Shi looked at the Dongyang outside the window and said slowly: "The eldest son once said: The first sentence of the Tang Code is to strengthen the country and enrich the people. The academies are guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even if Ning cannot be caught,
If Ning Que has any evidence that he has violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, we must let the eldest son know about it so that Ning Que will not be able to walk in the academy!"
He was silent for a moment and then said coldly: "Now it seems that my vigilance against Ning Que was indeed right. If the future imperial master is such a villain, how can the Tang Dynasty be safe? If those practitioners from foreign countries have already entered
Chang'an City, tell them to continue to provide convenience for them, so that the Yulin Army will not easily try to prevent the battle between the two sides."
The military official trembled slightly and expressed his objection without hesitation, saying: "My subordinates object. Even if Ning Que is a villain, he is from the Tang Dynasty after all. How can we deal with him with the hands of a foreigner?"
Xu Shi turned around, looked at him and said sarcastically: "Do you think the boss is that shameless idiot?"
The military official showed no fear on his face and responded: "I don't dare, so I don't understand the meaning of your words, General."
"Since you want to join the world, you have to go through hardships. Ke Haoran was like this back then, and Ning Que is like this now. I just want to make this kind of tempering more fair. I believe the academy will not have any objections to my arrangement."
Xu Shihan said: "If Ning Que is guilty, of course he should be punished by Tang Law, but now there is no evidence that he violated Tang Law, so I really want him to lose, lose again and again, until he loses all his courage and edge in the end!"
