.Back at the academy, Chen Jianchen found Wang Fu and asked him to find connections in the yamen to see if he could find out the identity and background of the knight from the north - looking at the knight's attire, it didn't look like he was investigating a case incognito at all;
Since it is not an incognito service, there should be a document issued...
According to common practice, official documents are divided into two parts, one is in the hands of the parties involved, and the other is sent directly to the local government in advance to let the local government do the reception work.
Wang Fu knew several government officials in the government office, and they were relatively well-informed. If a document was issued, they would more or less receive some information.
However, don't rush to find out the information. It may take two or three days to get the answer back.
It was night, the east wind was blowing sharply, and the spring rain began to patter again.
After Chen Jianchen finished writing a few words, he turned on the lamp and went to sleep. In a daze, someone seemed to be calling in his ears. His soul moved suddenly and suddenly changed. He appeared with the Haoran Yangwu Sword on his waist, an upright blue shirt, and a flowing Confucian scarf.
He shouted proudly: "Who is calling?"
Then he saw a man appear in the void, with a dignified appearance, big shoulders and round waist, wearing a soap robe, he walked up to Chen Jianchen, bowed his head and saluted, "Ding Yin, the seventh river god of Jianjiang, has met the young master."
Chen Jianchen raised his eyebrows: "The seventh river god of Jianjiang?"
"It's down there."
"Oh, so there are many river gods in a river?"
Ding Yin answered honestly: "Jianjiang grew up, so the Yin Division divided it into eighteen sections and governed them by sections."
"I see...then what do you want from me?"
Ding Yin glanced at the Yangwu Sword on Chen Jianchen's waist with some fear, and said respectfully: "I came here specifically to apologize. During the day, the little god made waves and offended the young master. I hope you will not
Remember the faults of villains, and forgive those who are offended."
Chen Jianchen chuckled: "Could it be that Dinghe God took a fancy to this book?"
Ding Yin said hurriedly: "I don't dare. The young master's reputation is as thunderous as the ears of the little god. Even if he eats the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, he will not dare to harm the young master."
Chen Jianchen frowned: "How do you say this?"
Ding Yin said sarcastically: "Young master, why do you ask questions when you know clearly?"
Chen Jianchen thought about it and understood. Maybe he had lost the land of Jingyang Village in a row in the past, and the bull-headed horse noodles sent by Jiangzhou City God did not give Jiangzhou City God any face. This matter caused a commotion in the Jiangzhou Yinsi world, so all parties
Even the Yin Gods have heard of me.
"In this case, why does Dinghe God still attack me with waves?"
When he said this, he pressed the five fingers of his right hand on the hilt of the Yangwu sword, and his murderous aura arose proudly.
Ding Yin said anxiously: "Sir, Mr. Chen, please don't get excited. The little god is making waves just for testing. There is absolutely no malice."
Test? A big wave came in full force. Chen Jianchen would never be happy with such a test. However, he did not grasp this point and changed the topic: "Why the test?"
Hearing that he had no intention of accountability, Ding Yin couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, thinking that the pressure he endured in front of Chen Jianchen was far beyond ordinary, and the opponent's momentum was even more pressing than the Lord City God. He hurriedly said: "How dare you, little god?
Please help me with something."
Chen Jianchen was very curious: "You want to ask me for help?"
"That's right... Don't worry, young master, this favor will not be in vain. After everything is over, the little god is willing to offer you a water-proof bead to express your sincerity."
"Avoid water beads?"
Ding Yin explained: "This bead is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth. After eating it, no matter whether it is a surging river or a vast sea, the young master can walk on flat ground and come and go freely."
After hearing his mysterious words, Chen Jianchen asked: "Is there really such a thing?"
Ding Yin chuckled: "How dare the little god deceive the young master? This pearl is rare in the world, and the little god found this one by chance. Deep in the Jianjiang River section under his jurisdiction, a giant turtle as big as a skip was found. At that time
The giant turtle was dead, and when the little god was looking through its body, he was able to find this water-proof bead inside its back shell."
For such a treasure, the other party is willing to use it as a reward. Thinking about it, it will not be easy. Chen Jianchen asked: "So, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"
Ding Yin said: "This matter may be difficult for others, but for the young master, it is easy..."
Chen Jianchen didn't want to wear the high hat he sent, so he interrupted directly: "God Dinghe, let's get down to business."
Ding Yin's heart trembled: This Chen Jianchen is indeed extraordinary. It is really rare for him not to be moved when faced with a heavy treasure... Then he got straight to the point and said: "The little god wants to ask the young master to come forward to deal with the mountain god of Bijia Mountain."
Um?
Chen Jianchen was a little confused this time: The river god asked him to take action against the mountain god. Could it be that there was internal strife in the underworld?
Seeing his suspicious expression, Ding Yin sighed: "To be honest, young master, there are indeed some irresolvable conflicts between the little god and Hou Qing, the god of Bijia Mountain... To put it simply, Hou Qing bullied me too much and relied on his cultivation level.
Being one step ahead of me, he forced me to make a rule, requiring me to share one-third of the incense I collected with him every month. The poor little god received only a small amount of incense, but he still had to exploit him. After a year, there were always five,
I was unable to complete my quota in six months, and was punished many times by the City God for this. Last month, the City God made a statement. If the little god has another month of deficit, he will remove me from my position as the River God and demote me to a ghost.
…”
"Wait a minute..."
Chen Jianchen interrupted him: "The Mountain God of Bijia Mountain wants to exploit you, won't you report it to the City God?"
Ding Yin smiled bitterly: "That guy Hou Qing covers the sky with his hands, and the City God turns a blind eye. How can he come forward to take care of this matter?"
Regarding this situation, Chen Jianchen also understood that the underworld is like the human world, and suppression and suppression among colleagues is essential. Under normal circumstances, if those who are suppressed report to their superiors, the superiors will basically not accept it. And it is more difficult for the parties involved to file a complaint beyond the level, such as
It is said that now it is impossible for Ding Yin to skip Jiangzhou City God and report directly to the Yin Division.
That's tantamount to a complaint.
The question is, is the imperial writ so easy to sue?
Therefore, Dinghe God can only find his own way out. If he can't defeat him on his own, asking for help is the best choice.
Chen Jianchen pondered - if he agrees to Ding Yin, it will be equivalent to meddling in the affairs of the underworld. I am afraid that the Jiangzhou City God will be very unhappy, and the two parties may have a deeper relationship. Although Chen Jianchen has nothing to do with this city god.
I have a good impression, but I don't want the relationship to completely deteriorate.
Seeing his hesitation, Ding Yin immediately fell to his knees and howled: "Master, the world is difficult and the ghost world is even more difficult. The little god asked himself, since he took office, he has never made trouble or oppressed the good, and he has done his duty.
I use my little strength to protect my neighbors. Even if I want to drink to relieve my boredom, I will drive the fish to repay you. If we are in trouble today, I hope you will help me and uphold justice!"
Bang bang bang, kowtow.
Seeing this, Chen Jianchen was silently moved, but suddenly he remembered the old story of the tree demon transforming into Huang Lao'er and lurking on the top of Bijia Mountain, so he no longer hesitated and said with emotion: "Okay, Dinghe God, I agree."
Ding Yin was overjoyed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master has great righteousness, and even a small god cannot act like a villain. Therefore, Young Master can return to the same spot by the river tomorrow. I will offer the water-proof beads to Young Master first."
After saying that, he bowed again and again, and his figure disappeared into the void.
Chen Jianchen woke up suddenly and found that he was still in the school building. It was still raining heavily outside the window, but it was already early morning.
This is not a dream...
He was deep in thought, no longer sleepy, and got up and finished washing. At this time, the morning light was dim, and there was silence in the college. Many people had not gotten up yet.
It was still early, so Chen Jianchen was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he exercised in the room and was sweating profusely. When the time was almost up, he walked out of the room with an oil-paper umbrella.
"Are you asking for leave again?"
The superintendent's expression was a bit ugly, and he stared at Chen Jianchen, as if he wanted to see through his inner world and see what kind of thoughts he had. Asking for leave at the beginning of the new semester is simply a self-destructive behavior, not to mention neglecting his studies.
, it is easier to leave a bad image in the mind of the teacher and the college leaders. If you then give a "bad conduct" comment, it will be completely over.
Chen Jianchen coughed dryly: "It's really urgent. The students will be back at noon."
The superintendent sighed, picked up a pen and approved the leave note: "Liu Xian, please do it well."
Chen Jianchen thanked him, held an umbrella and left the academy. He was in a hurry for this trip, so he hired a carriage and ran out of Jiangzhou City in the faint morning light and drizzle.
Of course, the carriage is much faster than walking. It took about half an hour to arrive at the Jianjiang River yesterday. In order to avoid shocking the world and causing complications, Chen Jianchen asked the coachman to wait in the carriage. He got off the car alone with an umbrella and returned to the rock.
.
The coachman muttered, "I'm sick." He lay down and leaned on the shaft of the coach, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
In his opinion, running to the river in the morning to enjoy the wind and rain in high spirits is not a sign of illness. But he also knows that scholars are fond of this kind of thing, and they are all romantic. Only in this way can they appear different and carefree. In fact, they are just eating.
Hold on when you are full.
Chen Jianchen stood on the rock. The wind on the riverside was strong, blowing the hem of his robe and making a hunting sound. He held the oil-paper umbrella tightly and looked at the majestic river surface. The Jianjiang River under the early morning rain had a unique flavor.
Within the soul god, the river god Ding Yin did not agree on any secret code, but Chen Jianchen knew that as long as he stood here, the other party would definitely be able to see it.
Sure enough, not long after, a ripple appeared on the river not far ahead, and a big fish was vaguely visible breaking through the waves. In a blink of an eye, it swam under the rock, revealing its whole body, but it was a fish nearly a foot long.
A long and big carp with a fiery red body. It is also a rare red carp.
thump!
The big red carp suddenly jumped up, jumped onto the rock, opened its mouth, and spit out a round white bead as big as a bullet.
"Mr. Chen, this is a water-proof bead, and I will give you a foot-long red carp as well, just to express your feelings, little god will go."
The big carp suddenly uttered human words, then straightened its body and became motionless. It only opened and closed its mouth, indicating that it was still alive.
Chen Jianchen was not polite. He first put away the water-proof beads and put them in his pocket to study them carefully when he went back. Then he broke off several reeds, twisted them into ropes, pierced the gills of the red carp, and carried them in his hand.
It's heavy, probably weighing more than ten kilograms.
When he returned to the carriage, the driver was shocked when he saw him carrying a huge red carp. He was speechless and speechless.
"This fish is stranded. I just picked it up by the river."
