Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading Chapter 744: Truth revealed? The strongest guard is back!
Chapter 744 The truth is revealed? The strongest guard is back!
Luozhou, Qing'an Mansion.
Splendid Inn is a relatively large-scale inn in Fucheng. At noon, a son who had lost his name in Enke came in.
This son is called Cao Ning, from Yuzhou. His family has some relationship with King Jing's Mansion. The owner of the family is his great-grandfather, who is a second-rank Confucian who sits on the front line of the Southern Wilderness.
…
Chen Luo was sitting in the Tianzihao manor of the Splendid Inn, playing with the jade badge of "Cao Ning" in his hand.
Since it's a private interview on Weibo, you must have an identity. This identity can't be too ostentatious, so as not to attract attention; ; At the same time, it is best that there is a moderate force behind it, so that the black hands behind the scenes will be afraid.
This Cao Ning is just right.
The descendants of the famous Sun Shan family are indeed dismissive in the eyes of those big shots; but for ordinary people and the local government, it is best not to offend if they can; The Holy Clan, the confidence is not very strong, the problem is that there is a behemoth like Prince Jing's Mansion standing behind the family.
Gongsun Bo is worthy of being an old Jianghu, and the identity he arranged for Chen Luo took into account all aspects.
Of course, this identity is not fictional.
The real Cao Ning is drinking tea at the side.
How long to drink tea depends on how long Chen Luo intends to use this identity.
…
"My lord, someone brought it here." Xiao Qing walked up to Chen Luo and said softly.
Xiao Qing is the younger sister of Xiao Changfeng, the gold-character head catcher of the Six Doors who investigated Tang Anshi's case in Zhongjing.
Since he is the son of an aristocratic family, he must have an entourage and a maid by his side, which is also convenient for Chen Luo to investigate the case. I can't take it with me.
"Well, bring it in." Chen Luo nodded, and soon, two attendants transformed into six-door headhunters led a middle-aged man with a rich figure to Chen Luo.
"Are you Wen Ya from Qing'an Mansion?" Chen Luo asked lightly.
The middle-aged man smiled: "One, just one."
Wen Ya is a unique profession of Daxuan. The main job is to contact literati and scholars to hold a literary meeting. According to Chen Luo's understanding, it is similar to event planning. There is also a part of Wen Ya who is dedicated to discovering geniuses from poor families, and then recommending them to aristocratic families to make profits from it.
Therefore, if you want to ask who is the person who knows the local literati best, it is not the government officials, not the head of the academies, but this group of Wenya.
Chen Luo's face remained unchanged, and he gestured towards Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing took out a fist-sized gold ingot from his cuff and placed it on the table.
"You must know my identity. You'd better tell me the truth about what I'm going to ask next. If you agree, this gold is yours."
Na Wenya looked at the gold ingot, his eyes seemed to be sunken in, and he quickly said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Cao, what's the problem, I know everything, and I can't stop talking."
"Tang Anshi, do you know him?" Chen Luo asked.
At this time, Six Gates has not yet announced the news that Tang Anshi is the champion of the new division, so there are only a few insiders who know that Tang Anshi is the champion.
When Wen Ya heard Chen Luo's question, his expression immediately turned solemn. He looked at the gold ingot on the table, then at Cao Ning, and gritted his teeth: "Mr. Cao, this... I'm really not familiar with it. "
"It seems that today is not the day for me to get rich."
"You'd better ask someone else to be smart."
After finishing speaking, Wen Ya turned around to leave, but was stopped by the entourage behind him.
"Young Master Cao, I really don't know Tang Anshi." Wen Ya turned around and said to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo patted the storage order, took out another piece of green jade the size of a thumb, placed it next to the gold ingot, and said, "This is the crystal of righteousness, which was condensed with righteousness in the family, country and world of the Great Confucianism. Well, such a drop is worth a month of hard work reciting the scriptures, and it can also purify the righteousness in your body. You should know its value."
Wen Ya's eyes fell on the righteous energy crystal, and he fell into hesitation.
After a while, he looked at Chen Luo and said, "The villain has the guts to ask, why did you ask about Tang Anshi?"
Chen Luo picked up the teacup, took a sip, raised his head, with a pained expression on his face, his eyes full of memories.
"My son hit it off with Brother Tang in Zhongjing. In order to let me play well in Enke, he tutored me day and night. This feeling is unforgettable!"
"But! Heaven is jealous of talents!"
"Brother Tang had an accident in Zhongjing. I just wanted to see what kind of family he still has here, what unfinished promises he has, and arrange for him one by one."
"Tang Anshi had an accident?" Wen Ya looked surprised, then thought of something, and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Cao may be disappointed."
"Tang Anshi is an orphan in the North, brought back by a veteran to be raised. Five years ago, the veteran passed away."
"However, Tang Anshi was extremely intelligent, and he became a disciple of Mr. Min, the vice-president. It's just that the villain thinks that Mr. Min may not need any help from the young master."
"Is that so?" Chen Luo put down his teacup, "Then it's no secret...why did you hesitate before?"
Wen Ya smiled, but did not speak.
Chen Luo winked at Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing handed over the gold ingot and righteous energy crystal on the table to Wen Ya.
Wen Ya accepted the reward, quickly gave a gift, thanked Chen Luo, and planned to leave. But he found that the entourage behind him still had no intention of letting him leave.
"Young Master Cao?" Wen Ya looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.
Chen Luo didn't speak, Xiao Qing said: "You have received our young master's reward, but our young master's question hasn't been answered yet."
Wen Ya frowned, and then remembered that Chen Luo asked himself why he had previously concealed that he did not know Tang Anshi.
"This..."
Then Xiao Qing continued: "You came here, met our young master, and received your reward. Sooner or later, you will find out what you need to know. Whether you say it or not, it is the same in the eyes of caring people. of."
Wen Ya was taken aback for a moment, then looked down at the treasure in his hand, hesitated again, and finally sighed.
"Young master, you are going to smash my job!"
Chen Luo smiled: "My lord is just curious. If there is nothing else, I will return to Yuzhou tomorrow. If you tell me as a joke, what effect will it have?"
Wen Ya shook his head and said, "Forget it, although not many people in Qing'an Mansion know about this matter, there are some."
"Tang Anshi, he is in serious trouble. He escaped from Qing'an Mansion."
"Even Lord Min can't keep him!"
Chen Luo suddenly became interested, sat up straight, and said, "Tell me in detail."
Since he opened his mouth, Wen Ya no longer hid it, and continued, "Master, you should know about Qi Shui's family, right?"
I know, I just learned it yesterday.
The play meat is coming!
Seeing Chen Luo nodding his head, Wen Ya continued: "Qi Shui's family is settled. In this generation, there is a young lady from a concubine whose single name is Qing."
"The sixteenth year of this year, the birth of fish and wild geese, closed moon and shameful flowers. The body is like a willow swinging in the wind, and the language is like a willow following the wind."
"Singing a good song, people in Qing'an Mansion privately call her Saihongnu..."
"Cough, cough, let's get to the point." Chen Luo coughed dryly.
Refused to touch porcelain behavior!
Don't get involved!
"Yes, yes!" Wen Ya responded quickly, "This Sai Hong slave... No, although this Miss Qing is a concubine, her father is the current head of the An family."
"Therefore, there are many suitors!"
"But Miss Qing has taken a fancy to Tang Anshi?" Chen Luo asked.
"Exactly!" Wen Ya nodded, "It stands to reason that although Tang Anshi was born in a poorer family, he was Master Min's closed disciple. And An's family style doesn't care too much about the children of concubines, so the two of them There are not many obstacles in between."
"But the An family has other arrangements for Miss Qing."
Chen Luo frowned slightly: "Marriage?"
"Yes!" Wen Ya sighed, "Shuangmu settled down in the prefecture. An' surname allows him to establish his own family, so it is called Shuangmu Anjia."
"The Shuangmu An family has respected the Qi Shui An family for generations, and it is true that they have received the luck of the An family, and the style of writing is at its peak. Now there are two great Confucian scholars sitting in the family."
"In order to maintain the relationship between the two families, Qi Shui'an's family negotiated to betroth Miss Qing to the eldest grandson of Shuangmu's An's family."
"But after Tang Anshi heard the news, he discussed elopement with Miss Qing."
"It's just that they were discovered when they were escaping. In order to protect Tang Anshi, Miss Qing agreed to get married, and forced her to let Tang Anshi go at home."
"But no one expected that after Tang Anshi left, Miss Qing committed suicide!"
Listening to Wen Ya's narration, Chen Luo frowned slightly.
That's it?
"So, Qi Shui'an's family angered Tang Anshi?"
Wen Ya hesitated to speak when he heard Chen Luo's words.
"You have something to say, but it's okay to say it." Chen Luo noticed Wen Ya's strangeness, and said.
Wen Ya frowned and said, "Actually, Qi Shui'an's family didn't make any moves."
"On the contrary, Shuangmu Anjia's reaction was very intense."
"After the news of Miss Qing's suicide spread, the Shuangmu An family even dispatched the great Confucianists in the family. The whole city searched for Tang Anshi, and released the words, regardless of life or death."
"If Master Min didn't help, Tang Anshi would probably be beaten to death by Shuangmu An's family!"
Seeing Chen Luo's puzzled face, Wen Ya explained: "At that time, Miss Qing had already made a marriage contract with Shuangmu Anjia."
"It stands to reason that Miss Qing at that time was already the daughter-in-law of the Shuangmu An family."
"And..."
Speaking of this, Wen Ya gritted his teeth and took a step forward. Xiao Qing hurriedly stood in front of Chen Luo. Wen Ya smiled awkwardly, and Chen Luo patted Xiao Qing on the shoulder to let her push away.
Wen Ya walked up to Chen Luo and lowered his voice: "There are too many gossips."
"I heard that Miss Qing was not perfect at the time!"
"That's why Shuangmu Anjia is so angry!"
Chen Luo's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Wen Ya in surprise.
Wen Ya took a few steps back; "Young Master Cao, can the villain leave?"
Chen Luo nodded, waved his hand, and then the attendant walked away, indicating that Wen Ya could leave.
…
"Faxiang, it seems that the ins and outs of this case have been revealed." Xiao Qing made another cup of hot tea for Chen Luo and said.
"Is it clear?" Chen Luo smiled, picked up the tea and blew on it, and said, "Tell me."
"Isn't it that Tang Anshi and An Qing crossed the line and became a man and a woman? Qi Shui'an's family wants to betroth An Qing to Shuangmu's An's family. People eloped, but were caught."
"Tang Anshi fled, An Qing committed suicide."
"There is only one doubt here, and that is whether An Qing committed suicide or committed suicide after telling the truth."
"But no matter what, An Qing was considered the daughter-in-law of the Shuangmu An family at that time, and they didn't dare to be dissatisfied with the Qi Shui An family, so they could only vent their anger on Tang Anshi."
"So the pursuit is endless!"
"The murderer is Shuangmu Anjia."
"Whether it is motivation or strength, it is in line with the previous judgment of the murderer of Tang Anshi's death."
Chen Luo took a sip of tea and shook his head lightly.
"It does sound reasonable and logical."
"However, these are all human words!"
"If you listen to both, you will be bright, if you listen to one side, you will be dark. Make arrangements, and invite Mr. Min to a banquet in the name of the Cao family."
Xiao Qing nodded: "I will give orders now."
…
The words are divided into two ends.
Let's say that Wenya walked out of Jinxiu Inn, lowered his head, and hurriedly turned into a remote alley.
He skillfully crossed the alleys and streets, turning his head from time to time to see if anyone was following him. In this way, after walking for about half an hour, this Wenya stopped at the door of a gambling house.
Wen Ya walked into the casino and didn't gamble, but walked straight to the counter of the casino, knocked on the counter with his hand, and immediately a waiter stepped forward and said, "How much do you want to borrow? What do you want to do with it?" Mortgage?"
Na Wenya lowered his voice: "I don't want to borrow money, I want to sell the goods."
Hearing the words, the gambler took a look at Wen Ya and smiled: "We don't accept broken copper and rotten iron!"
"Good product!" Wen Ya said in a low voice again.
The man raised his eyebrows, looked at Wen Ya again, then nodded, and said softly: "Follow me!"
As he spoke, he opened a barrier on the counter, and Wen Ya quickly got in, and then the clerk opened a partition on the ground, revealing the downward stairs, and went down, Wen Ya quickly followed.
Walking down a hundred steps, another wooden door was locked tightly. The clerk took out the key and opened the door.
This is like an underground hall.
Here is the underground black market in Qing'an Prefecture.
Wen Ya is not stupid, Zheng Qi Jing is a bit too eye-catching for his status, it is most practical to quickly change it to gold and silver. As Wen Ya, some literati and scholars who have good friends will also have some things that are inconvenient to show others or sell, so they will do it for them. Naturally, they are very familiar with the black market.
"Little Six, is this distinguished guest here to buy or sell!" A shrill voice sounded, and a sharp-mouthed woman stepped forward, with a long rat tail trailing behind her.
This underground black market is actually run by the Rat Demon.
"It's for sale, it's for sale!" Wen Ya replied quickly.
The female mouse monster heard the words and said with a smile: "What is the guest wanting to sell, please tell me."
Wen Ya directly took out the righteous energy crystal, and the female mouse demon's eyes lit up immediately.
Righteousness crystals have the effect of pure righteousness for low-level Confucian scholars. The purer the righteousness, the greater the power of poetry, and there are many people who need it.
For some special reasons, they are short of this kind of goods right now.
"Guests, please follow me." The mouse demon bowed and led Wen Ya into a small stone room.
A moment later, Wen Ya came out of the stone room with a smile all over his face, it seemed that he got a satisfactory harvest.
Looking at Wen Ya's back, the female rat demon who had received Wen Ya before waved her hand, and immediately two more rat demons stepped forward.
"Go and find out where he has been before, who he has met, and make sure where his righteousness crystal comes from."
"We need a lot of positive energy crystals now!"
The two mouse monsters cupped their hands and chased them out.
…
Splendid Inn.
"What? Master Min isn't in Qing'an Mansion?" Chen Luo frowned, looking at Xiao Qing, "Don't know where you went?"
Xiao Qing nodded: "I left half a month ago."
"I heard from people around me that because of Tang Anshi's affairs, Shuangmu An's family had repeatedly troubled Mr. Min. Mr. Min was so annoyed, so he took a job and went to the county below to inspect the school administration."
"It is said to be patrolling, but it is actually an asylum."
"So apart from Xuezheng, even his family members can't contact him."
Chen Luo stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
Now after investigation, only Master Min is the closest person to Tang Anshi, and he is the only one who can look at the problem from Tang Anshi's point of view, so this is a key person who wants to find out the case.
Chen Luo stopped, walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a line, then took out his own Dharma seal, stamped it, and handed the letter to Xiao Qing.
"Don't come forward, let the people below contact the local Six Gates. Let the Six Gates go to the Xuesi Yamen again, and ask Xuezheng to call Master Min back."
Xiao Qing took the letter, and on it was written "Enke cheated, sealed the file, assisted in the investigation and waited for participation" in twelve large characters.
"My lord..." Xiao Qing looked at Chen Luo suspiciously, and Chen Luo said indifferently: "Changing your name to take the exam is not considered cheating!"
He, Min Youwei, changed Tang Anshi's name to Tang An, changed the qualifications of the provincial examination, and allowed Tang Anshi to enter the Gongyuan under Tang An's name.
There is nothing wrong with this document!
"Your subordinate will do it now." Xiao Qing arched his hands and was about to go out when suddenly there was a commotion outside the room. When Chen Luo went out in doubt, Xiao Qing hurriedly put away the letter and followed Chen Luo subconsciously.
At this time, I saw a young man in a fine attire leading a few people to rush in. The shopkeeper of the Splendid Inn kept trying to stop them.
"Mr. An, this is an honored guest, an honored guest..."
"What kind of distinguished guest is a stubborn son of a second-rank great Confucian family!" A thug behind the young man shouted angrily, and was about to kick the shopkeeper with his leg, when suddenly there was a sound of piercing through the air, and a stone flew towards him. It hit the thug's raised foot directly, and there was a "click", and the thug screamed, hugging his leg and crying on the ground.
The leading young man raised his head and looked at Chen Luo and Xiao Qing who came out, frowning slightly: "Supernatural power?"
"I'm not good at learning, but I'm good at martial arts." Chen Luo said slowly, "Is it itching for you to trespass on my residence?"
At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young master, don't say a few words. This is the son of Shuangmu An's family..."
The expression on Chen Luo's face moved, and he looked at the other party.
So fast!
They got the news just as soon as they made a move.
Whether Na Wenya leaked it, or Xiao Qing and the others were noticed when they were looking for Lord Min, it means that their actions have come into Shuangmu Anjia's sight.
Not only did I know my superficial purpose of coming here, but I also figured out my superficial identity!
This is just a vassal family of the An family.
From this, we can also see how powerful the aristocratic and holy clans are in Daxuan.
"Mr. An? What do you want me for?"
The leading young man stepped forward and said, "Cao Ning, right?"
"My Shuangmu An family and your Cao family in Yuzhou do not interfere with each other. I don't know the relationship between you and Tang Anshi, but this person has a grudge against my Shuangmu An family. You'd better not inquire about his affairs."
"I am here this time to persuade you to leave early and return to Yuzhou. This Qing'an Mansion is not a place for you to stay for a long time, so as not to get involved in some muddy waters that your family may not be willing to mix with."
Chen Luo sat down directly on the chair in the yard and said with a smile, "It's a joke."
"I am a citizen of Daxuan, in the land of Daxuan, I can't stay here for long."
"Could it be that Qing'an Mansion was assigned to your Shuangmu'an family as a holy city?"
Mr. An's face turned cold: "Your Excellency, don't toast and eat fine wine."
Chen Luo looked at each other with great interest: "I've grown up so much, I've only had a toast, not a fine."
Mr. An also sneered: "In this case, I, Shuangmu Anjia, will naturally make arrangements."
"But for drinking, you have to go home to be sincere."
"Young Master Cao, please follow me back to the An family, and wait for the Cao family to pick you up!"
After speaking, Mr. An waved his hand, and several thugs stood up behind him.
Chen Luo frowned slightly. He could feel that each of these thugs was at the master level above the fifth rank, and there were even two masters of the fourth rank. It was impossible for such a person to be a thug.
They are in disguise!
This time, Shuangmu An's family came to prepare themselves!
"Don't touch my young master!" Xiao Qing hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Chen Luo.
Chen Luo was about to speak when his eyelids twitched suddenly, and a smile appeared on his face.
He stretched out his hand, grabbed Xiao Qing's arm, pulled him to his side, and said: "Young master fights, why are you a servant girl joining in the fun!"
"But..." Xiao Qing blushed slightly upon hearing Chen Luo's words. She naturally knew Chen Luo's ability, not to mention these rotten chicken heads and rotten eggs, even if the great Confucianism from Shuangmu's family came here, they would not be the opponent of Lord Zhu Guo. But I am a subordinate, so there is no reason for adults to do it themselves.
"Hmph, it's pity and pity!" Mr. An waved his palm, and immediately those disguised thugs rushed towards Chen Luo.
On Chen Luo's side, instead, he was leaning on the back of the chair with a smile on his face.
Just as the opponent entered within one meter of Chen Luo, suddenly the wind blew up.
A huge coercion enveloped the small courtyard, sword shadows appeared out of thin air above the small courtyard, and the sword shadows fell instantly, shooting through the chest of the person who did the fighting.
All those who made the move flew backwards and landed on the ground without injuries, but they all vomited blood. before.
A broken sword rested on his neck. Only now did Mr. An see clearly that in front of him was a young man with a stern face, his brows were full of murderous intent.
"My lord, did you kill him?" the swordsman asked softly.
"I can't, Xiao Ji, I'm going to abide by the law now." Chen Luo looked very happy, "I'll be knocked out first, and then we'll interrogate together, maybe there's some death penalty for me."
"Yes!" The swordsman shook his body slightly, and immediately there were countless thumb-sized colorful sword shadows flying out of his body, and the sword shadows quickly passed through the heads of everyone in An's family. fainted.
Until this moment, the swordsman turned around and saluted Chen Luo respectfully: "Guard Ji Zhong, I have seen you."
"Oh, you're a second-rank Martial God, Xiao Ji, that's not bad!"
Lying on the ground at this time, Mr. An, who was still awake for the last time, looked at the swordsman and "Cao Ning", and felt a kind of unconcealable terror in his heart.
Since knowing that there is no hope of marrying Chen Luo, the aristocratic families have set their sights on those extremely talented warriors who follow Chen Luo.
If Chen Luo is Confucius, then these people are the seventy-two sages!
The future is limitless.
And among them, there is a person whose name is almost unique, even higher than Shaolin Adama and Wudang Song Wuji.
Sword God Ji Zhong!
In the Lunjian Pavilion in Dongcang City, this name almost overwhelms a generation, including not only martial arts, but also Confucianism and Taoism!
The person who can make him a son...
Mr. An's vision gradually blurred, and he looked at "Cao Ning" with the only remaining eyes.
That's not Cao Ning, that's...
Grandpa, the matter of Tang Anshi ~IndoMTL.com~ is getting big!
This is Mr. An's last consciousness. Immediately, because his soul was sealed by the colorful sword shadow, he closed his eyes and gradually lost consciousness...
…
At the same time, in a secret room in the deepest part of the gambling house's underground black market, an old mouse demon was preparing a concoction, and the whole secret room was filled with an unpleasant smell.
And on the only stone bed in the secret room, lay a human race about fifty or sixty years old, with his eyes closed, and seemed to have fallen into a coma.
The rat demon prepared the medicine, walked to the stone bed, helped the man to sit up, and poured the medicine into his mouth, but just after taking it in, most of the medicine flowed out from the corner of his mouth. A small portion was held in his mouth.
The rat demon took out the righteous energy crystal that he had just collected and put it between the opponent's eyebrows. The righteous energy crystal instantly turned into a wisp of green energy and penetrated into the opponent's brain. With a sound, the medicine juice in his mouth went down smoothly.
"Master Min...we will definitely cure you." The mouse said softly, and continued to feed the concoction into the opponent's mouth...
