"Are you still there?"

In the backyard of the Jade Courtyard, under the wall outside, the old man squatted on a stone, listening to the sound that had not come from inside for a long time, and asked out loud. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a while, he heard the sound of light footsteps again, and the girl said apologetically: "I don't know what's wrong today, there are a lot of guests in the courtyard, and they can't talk to you here." ”

Lao Fang smiled and said, "It's okay, you go get busy, I'm going back too." ”

"Then ...... tomorrow, I'll be here tomorrow waiting for you." The girl said quickly, and the footsteps faded away.

The old man stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, walked back to the street, and when he walked past the butcher shop next to him, he thought that his mother-in-law liked to eat fine pork belly, and had been chattering for several days, walked to the front of the shop, and asked the butcher, "Is this meat fresh?" ”

The meat seller was also a man with a face full of meat, and when he heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, guest officer, this meat was just killed this morning, and the fresh ones can't be fresher." ”

The old man nodded, "Three catties of pork belly." ”

"Okay!"

The butcher answered, slashed twice with a boning knife, wrapped the meat in lotus leaves, tied a rope, and said with a smile: "Three catties and six taels, you take it, wipe it with a penny, and count you as a penny." ”

In fact, although it is still a little difficult to buy a big mansion in Beijing now, a lot of silver has been saved during this time, and the pillar can take ten wives, and there is still a lot of balance, which can be regarded as a rich family, but I touched my waist and found that I was in a hurry this morning, and I didn't bring a penny.

When the butcher saw this, he guessed that he didn't have any money, and said with a smile: "The guest officer forgot to bring the silver?" It doesn't matter, you can take this meat first, and you can pay for the meat next time. ”

The old man smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will repay the debt?" ”

The butcher smiled and said, "That can't be, the guest officer has been here every day, the villain sees that you are not such a person, and you are happy today, if you really want to repay the debt, I will give you this meat!" ”

"You are a meat seller, what can you be happy about, and your mother-in-law and aunt at home have it?" The old man took the meat, and did not shirk, and asked casually.

"Alas, my aunt hasn't gotten a ......mile until now," the butcher sighed, thought of one more thing, and suddenly showed a smile on his face, and said: "But if you want to say that this happy thing is spread all over Kyoto, the guest officer doesn't know, and the villain has to give you a good ......."

"Let's say that this Qi people are extremely arrogant, looking for faults everywhere in Kyoto, and this time they are directly in the court......"

……

……

After a while, the expression on the old man's face was shocked, isn't this Li Xianzi talking about his own uncle?

In the morning, I saw my uncle go to the palace, but I didn't expect to do such a big thing, and even the meat vendors on the street knew about my uncle's deeds?

took the meat and left, Lao Fang didn't go home directly, there was a hook fence nearby, he planned to go in and find an acquaintance to borrow some money, and return the meat money first.

"Master, slow down......"

Outside the Goolan Gate somewhere in Kyoto, a middle-aged man with a pale face and an extremely weak body was supported by a servant and walked towards the Goolan Gate.

"Master, let's go back, those people, those people......" The servant said with an embarrassed face, but was interrupted by a wave of the middle-aged man's hand.

"It's okay, this curse, this official can still bear it." The middle-aged man's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was unusually firm.

Behind the two of them, a man carrying meat walked into the hook bar, looked back again, and said: "The body is so weak, if you don't take care of it at home, what kind of hook is it......"

The servant in Tsing Yi was about to speak, but the man only said this sentence and turned away.

The master and servant walked into the fence, found a secluded place to sit down, and as soon as they sat down, they heard several people talking around them.

"This Li Xianzi is really a long face for our Jing Guo."

"Yes, this time, look at how arrogant the people of Qi are still there!"

"You said that if the horse in the city won yesterday, wouldn't there be no need to compare next, blame the man surnamed Ma, who is not good at chess, and has to be a hero......"

……

Hearing everyone speak like this, the servant in Tsing Yi looked angry, while the middle-aged man only had a gloomy face and did not speak.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the master and servant raised their heads and saw that an old man had been seated on the platform in front of them.

"Hey, old Zheng Tou, don't talk about anything else today, tell us about it, that Li Xianzi, how did he win the Qi people!"

"Yes, that's it!"

After all, whether it is the people of the rivers and lakes or the people, they are all the people of Jingguo, and they should also care about the major events in the DPRK and China, in addition to gossip and miscellaneous talk, there are many things, which are actually closely related to them.

The old man on the stage smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the noisy sound below immediately disappeared, and then said: "Li Xianzi's big victory over the Qi people, I believe everyone is very interested, and the old man naturally wants to talk about it, but before that, the old man wants to talk about yesterday's competition." ”

The pale-faced middle-aged man raised his head slightly, and after a period of silence, it immediately became noisy.

"Losing is losing, what's there to say."

"Let's just say Li Xianzi, what are you doing with that surname Ma!"

"It's just, let's talk about the morning competition, we can't wait......"

……

The middle-aged man's fists clenched involuntarily, and his face became even paler.

The old man on the stage stretched out his hand again to stop everyone, and said: "Of course, I have to say about Li Xianzi's affairs, but yesterday's incident has another hidden secret, Master Ma was wronged in vain, and was scolded by the people of Kyoto, and the old man did not vomit and was unhappy. ”

Hearing this, the servant in Tsing Yi was stunned, and the middle-aged man raised his head sharply and looked at the old man on the stage.

"Secrets?"

When everyone heard this, their faces also showed surprise, obviously the first time they had heard of it.

"What's the secret, could it be that in yesterday's competition, the people of Qi actually made trouble?"

"Talk about it, talk about it......"

In the urging of everyone, the old man slowly spoke: "Everyone thought that Ma Zhongcheng lost to the nameless old man of Qi State, but they didn't know that the nameless old man was known as the "chess soul", and he was the first person in the real chess path of Qi State. ”

"But since the people of the Qi country have already issued a war letter, if no one stands up, doesn't it mean that there is no one in my Jingguo? Ma Zhongcheng knew that he might be defeated, and he still had to stand up at this time, didn't he know what kind of infamy he would bear if he lost? ”

"But he still stood up, because if even he shrank back, there would really be no hope of winning this game, and it wasn't terrible to lose, we would always win back, but if there was not even a single person to fight in the whole of Kyoto, how would the people of Qi laugh at us Jingguo?"

The old man talked eloquently, and it was extremely quiet in the bar.

The servant in Tsing Yi was happy, a trace of abnormal redness welled up on the middle-aged man's face, his hands trembled slightly, everyone's expressions changed from confusion and surprise to anger, and even many people's faces were full of shame.

"What, that's the case?"

"That old guy is so powerful?"

"Phew, I thought he was just an ordinary old man!"

"Yes, if no one really stands up, I'm afraid it will be ridiculed even more......"

"We have wronged Ma Zhongcheng!"

"Damn, the people of Qi are so shameless, saying this, Ma Zhongcheng is ......, alas, I shouldn't have scolded him!"

……

Everyone did not doubt the authenticity of the old man's words at all, after all, although this hook column had just been opened, not only was the story and repertoire wonderful on weekdays, but also on some major matters, it never made a big fuss, unlike other hook columns that relied on speculation and speculation to make money, which can be regarded as a conscience hook column.

After that, thinking that he hadn't scolded that Ma Zhongcheng in the past two days, everyone was naturally full of apologies for him.

Until the whole of Kyoto began to spread this matter, everyone also learned the truth of the matter from countless channels, the people of Kyoto came to the door of Mafu in groups to make amends, the wind direction changed sharply, Ma Zhongcheng in one day, from a national sinner to a national hero, everywhere hooked the fence, but also began to spread the legend of Ma Zhongcheng before he was not afraid of power, and died in admonition, countless young imperial historians began to regard Ma Zhongcheng as an idol of life......

Of course, that's all for later.

At this time, on a spacious street somewhere in Kyoto, the middle-aged man's face was flushed, and he was secretly excited, refusing the support of the servant, and listening to the small talk of a few people on the street, the smile on his face was even stronger.

"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, what a fair and comfortable in the hearts of the people!" Thinking of what the old man said just now, the middle-aged man stroked his chest and said with a laugh.

"Even lowly servants are worried about the country's suffering, and the imperial history of the DPRK and China should often come to these places, so that they can absorb public opinion......"

When the imperial history of the dynasty muttered these things in a low voice, in a hook column, several storytellers sat on both sides of a long table, and at the top of the table, Old Man Sun slowly spoke: "Storytelling is not just about telling stories, we must be worthy of our conscience, we can't follow the trend and be swayed by rumors, the more we are at this time, the more we must spread the truth, so as to gain the trust of the guests......"

……

……

"Your Highness, for some reason, within half a day, the wind direction above the market suddenly reversed, and our plan is afraid to be shelved."

In a luxurious courtyard in Kyoto, a middle-aged man in a blue robe said respectfully to the young man standing in the pavilion with his hands in his hands.

"It's okay, that thing is just a piece of time, I don't know when I can use it, if it fails, it fails, and it's not in the way." The handsome young man turned his head, sighed and said, "However, I have to admit that they have greatly exceeded the expectations of this king, and they are worthy of Jingguo Kyoto, and the people's wisdom is far from being comparable to other places. ”

A trace of regret also appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and at this time, he heard the young man speak again: "How is the investigation of that matter?" ”

The middle-aged man's face became solemn, and he said: "Back to Your Highness, everything has been investigated, that Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, is the person who created the heavenly punishment, and he is also the gentleman that the King of Jingguo Xiao Jin said, first of all, the punishment hit us by surprise that day, and lost two cities in a row, and the general of the auxiliary country almost apologized with death in front of His Majesty, and today defeated Zhao Xiuwen, which made our plan run aground...... this Li Yi is simply the nemesis of my Qi country!" ”

It was undoubtedly difficult for the Qi people to inquire about some news in Jingguo's Kyoto, but seeing the importance that the third prince attached to that person, the middle-aged man even used a secret child that had not been used in Jingguo Kyoto for many years, and told all the news he had learned at this moment.

The young man nodded and said, "I thought he was just creating a heavenly punishment, but I didn't expect that this Li Xianzi actually had such a talent, no wonder Emperor Jing valued him so much." ”

A cold light flashed on the middle-aged man's face, and he whispered: "Your Highness, having this person here is always a big threat to us, do you want to ......?"

The third prince of Qi waved his hand and said: "Don't always think about solving things like this, even Xiuwen praised him, I have never seen him praise a person so much in poetry, and the punishment of heaven has caused us great trouble, poetry and articles, medical skills, and ...... of heavenly punishment, why was he not born in my Qi country?" ”

"You just said that he has a grudge against the eldest grandson of Jingguo Qin and the king of Shu?" The third prince of Qi looked at him and suddenly asked.

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Yes, this Li Xianzi has a deep grudge with the eldest grandson of the Duke of Qin and the King of Shu, just a few days ago, he beat the King of Shu in the palace, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and was seriously injured and unconscious, but the strange thing is that Emperor Jing only grounded him for half a month, and did not punish him too much. ”

The third prince of Qi smiled and said, "If this king is Emperor Jing, he will not be severely punished." ”

He walked out of the pavilion, while pacing slowly in the courtyard, he muttered: "Although the king of Shu has no talent, but he is also the most likely to inherit the unification among the princes, this kind ......of grudge, obviously it is impossible to let go easily, Qin phase is high and powerful, wholeheartedly support the king of Shu to ascend the throne, the Qin family will become a new dynasty humerus in the future, at that time, the position of this Li Xianzi in the court, but it is a little delicate, this is not a good news for us." ”

As soon as the young man's voice fell, his face suddenly changed slightly, and his body flickered, and he immediately moved a few feet to one side.

Shout! Shout! Shout!

Where he had been standing, three feathered arrows plunged deep into the earth.

The middle-aged man's face changed greatly, and he immediately stopped in front of the young man, and said loudly: "Protect the third prince!" ”

Several figures suddenly appeared in the courtyard, surrounded the young man, and then divided several people, and climbed to the roof in a few vertical leaps, and disappeared in front of their eyes in an instant.

After a short time, the few people who left turned in from outside the courtyard wall, threw a corpse on the ground, and said, "Your Highness, when I rushed over, the other party had already committed suicide by poisoning. ”

The middle-aged man said angrily: "Damn Jingguo, you actually did such a thing, Your Highness, I will repair a book for Your Majesty now......"

The young man waved his hand, squatted down, tore off the black-clothed man's face scarf, and after looking at it for a while, he pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver behind him, and saw the blue light on the tip of the arrow, the middle-aged man's face changed greatly, and the cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

The young man threw the arrow on the ground, clapped his hands, looked into the distance, his eyes were slightly condensed, and murmured, "Brother Huang, are you so afraid of me?" ”
