Volume 1 Cangzhou Wooden House Chapter 103 Origin and Extinction
Lou Lanjing and Lu Dengke came just right, the endgame was set and only waiting for the final word, only to see a fat-headed and big-eared man regardless of other galloping horses and climbing the mountain, desperately rushing into the cottage, his eyes were full of mess, he was almost not startled to fall off the horse, looking around for something, and when he fixed his eyes to see, only Su Wen was left sitting in the ring with his hands behind him, the tiredness on his face was self-evident, he seemed to be walking in the knife mountain hell, in fact, several times his spirit was almost scattered, if it weren't for holding his breath, and that was more stubborn than a donkey, I was afraid that he had already dissipated in the wind blade before he saw Xu Muzi, and at this moment he was rarely relaxed, and he really felt laborious to breatheγ
"Your Highness, the official is late, please atone for your sins. Li Chengjun climbed down from the horse and rushed all the way to Su Wen, his fat body ignored the dust on the ground, and fell to the ground with a plop, thanks to the fact that he could still throw himself to the ground.
Su Wen was shocked by a pig-like wail, Xu saw that this fat body was a little greasy, licked the corners of his mouth, it was very dry, and complained that the third brother was reluctant to even take two sips of wine, and inadvertently came out with a sentence, "Is there any wine?"
Li Chengjun didn't know why, he hurriedly untied the wine jug on his waist and handed it up respectfully, in Cangzhou, the ministers and generals all carried a rough spirit that was sharpened by the wind and dust, the military generals cut off the enemy's heads to drink, and the literati grinded with wine, no matter how bad they were with each other, they could drink in a bowl on the wine table, but I was afraid that they could not find the officials in that place to achieve such a tacit understanding.
And it's not the famous wine Cuitao in Cangzhou really achieved the point of replacing tea with wine, that is, the half-grown boys are soaked in the wine vat early to grow, not only for the warmth of drinking can withstand the wind and cold, but it is really the energy that rushes up to the head that makes people crazy.
Su Wen was not good at drinking, especially after the young couple passed away, but slowly he realized that it was not a problem with alcohol, and the more he dared not face it, it was actually not a remembrance.
"Who are you?" Su Wen drank half of the bag of wine and threw it to Qigui casually, the little servant who was stingy to the bone was naturally unwilling to use spare money to buy wine, and it was not too much to deceive you about a pot of wine, so he simply didn't pay it back.
Li Chengjun hurriedly replied: "Li Chengjun, the county commander of Shanghe County, was ordered to come to encircle and suppress the traitor Gu Danian. β
"Oh?" Su Wen groaned, this name is familiar, he was almost the number one corrupt official in his merit book, "Li Chengjun, someone told this king that you are rich in Shanghe County, and there are countless big mansions that have entered and exited, especially a Zhuangzi called Tianxiangyuan, which is really more enjoyable than the palace, and the hat of the biggest corrupt official in Heyang County falls firmly on your head." β
"Who? who fucking made Lao Tzu's rumors, His Royal Highness has been aware of it, and the lower officials have been conscientious and conscientious all these years, although they can't do it with two sleeves, but they are also incorruptible, except for a two-room mansion where they dare to expect extravagance, and please ask Your Highness to be clear. Li Chengjun's head was about to break, and he said that the other party was not His Royal Highness King Qi, but the most prosperous person around His Highness, even if he just casually mentioned a sentence or two in the other party's ear, how to sleep peacefully in the future, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that the Xiangyuan will be confiscated that day.
Su Wen, who shook his head and smiled bitterly, really wanted to weigh the weight of this guy in front of him, he couldn't see it if he was honest, and he couldn't cover it with fat and fat, and continued: "But that person also said that you are a rare capable minister, but it is too condescending to be a county magistrate, what's the matter, have you considered going to Kyoto to be an official." β
Li Chengjun Xingxi's face is about to squeeze out two or two, but he is a shrewd person, and the matter of slapping a date is more in the officialdom, and it is also the most adept means of buying people's hearts by these kings, but we clearly haven't done anything, raising your hand is a slap, turning your face and giving a candy to eat, it's too sudden! Besides, going to Kyoto to be an official, even the real His Royal Highness King Qi doesn't have this ability, why do you want to cross this kind of sea mouth, you can't keep it because you want to profit from it, and there must be a demon when things go wrong, so he hurriedly refused:" His Royal Highness is too degrading to his position, and he is sincerely afraid, and he does not dare to go to Kyoto to have extravagant hopes, so he only wants to polish it for a few more years under Lord Lu. β
Su Wen didn't have as many fancy intestines as him, it was nothing more than repeating the words of the third brother, as for going to Kyoto to be an official, it was indeed a casual mention, in the end, he had only been the king of Qi for more than ten days, and it was not difficult to install a henchman in Kyoto with the power of a prince's title! But how did he know that the water in it was muddy, otherwise Chen Maochuan had worked so hard all these years.
"Then if the king didn't say it, by the way, what is the situation outside. β
"Your Royal Highness, Qingfeng Mountain has been exterminated, the Sanxian Building has been sealed, and all the people and others have been arrested with the help of the list mentioned by the Wang Judgment Division, but the Wang Judgment Division committed suicide in the Scattered Immortal Building. On the official position, Wang Qingke is inferior to Li Chengjun, but for the respect for the former, Li Chengjun did not hide it, if the two status exchange, he thinks that he can't make such a decisive and effective decision as the other party, he is greedy for money, even greedy for money at the expense of fame, but even more life-saving, after all, no matter how much money there is, he has to have a life to spend it, but Wang Qingke set himself up from the beginning is a dead end, and he has tried his best all his life, and he has calculated how to die step by step, which is really ironic.
Su Wen didn't respond, and raised his head, even if he asked Tan Junzi to dissuade him halfway, but how sure he was, it can only be said that he was just lucky, that scholar who never had to look at people with his eyes was not learning, but the arrogance of the literati, sour and rotten innately, is it not good to live? I am not surviving to this day, it is really easier to die than to live, and even ants understand the truth, which is extremely stupid.
"Gu Danian's troops were all wiped out, none of the 527 people in the horse bandit camp survived, and Liu Quan was chopped up with a knife and his bones were gone. Li Chengjun squeezed out of his teeth almost word by word, they could have saved half of the people when they came, but the horse bandit battalion only wanted to fight to the death, only to die, it was no longer despair but relief, just watching the last person fall to the ground, admiring these men who have endured humiliation for several years, the only thing they can do is that there is only war today.
"All dead!" Su Wen took a deep breath, stood up strongly, came alone, and left alone, one was a scholar, one was wordless, and the two monuments remained in Qingfeng County forever.
ββββ
Su Wen, who returned the Qiwang Baozhang, returned to the inn lonely, and never saw such a tragic thing again, it was clear that he was deceitful, he was clearly a damned person, and he could live, Su Wen felt tired, these days were more tiring than when he was robbed and killed on the official road, assassinated in the grass house, and fought to prostration, not everyone can do it, these scheming plans are far more complicated than he thought, and sure enough, he is still only worthy of doing something simple and direct.
Lu Dengke did not kill Liu An'an, and only exiled him after a few letters of correspondence with Mu Dusi in the other party's handwriting, but from then on, Cangzhou was only afraid that there would be no place for him, not to mention anything else, at this moment Mu Dusi must be so hateful that he will raise his sword and want to execute Ling Chi.
A few days later, the accusations of Gu Danian were announced to the world, and the people all clapped their hands and applauded, the ancient mansion that was rich and rich in the past was now drenched with feces and urine by the excited people, and the stench was smelled across a few streets, but on the contrary, the business of the surrounding tea stalls and inns was several times better, and there were groups of people who came to see the excitement every day.
Su Wen didn't go out, holding the notice of the government in his hand, and there were only a few sentences worthy of his attention, "The horse bandit forces that have disturbed the realm for many years have been completely wiped out, the bandit leader Liu Quan died under ten thousand knives, Gu Danian's henchmen have all been punished, and Wang Qingke, the director of the Sanxian Building, knows that his crime is extremely evil, and he commits suicide in fear of crime." β
did not fall into the well, but it was also clearly understood that the people's grievances were boiling and the government was rioting with the public, but fortunately, it was suppressed by Lu Dengke and Lou Lanjing, and finally preserved someone's so-called last integrity.
"Qigui, go buy a pot of wine. β
The little servant understood, bought two jars of the best Cui Tao, the two of them and a donkey slowly went out of the city, on this drowsy sunset came to a simple thatched house, Wang Qingke's body was taken out by Tan Junzi and Lianyi, Liu Quan died without a body, and his brothers were buried on the spot, there are two tablets here, one is engraved with the word "scholar", and one is clean and traceless.
"You carved the words. Su asked.
Tan Junzi nodded, don't look at him on weekdays when he looks poor and despair, but the handwriting is excellent, through the face muscles and willow bones, the pen strength is the most authentic Northern Wei Dynasty pen, how many big families paid to buy his words, but he just didn't buy it, even if the poor day was a quilt as a bed, he was also comfortable, at most he changed some wine to drink, and once the word calligraphy was touched with the word money, there was no charm, and it was unbearable.
"I don't even dare to keep my name and surname, how can I survive. Tan Junzi untied the mud seal of a pool of green waves, poured two bowls and placed them in front of the two tablets.
Clothes with Wang Qingke's body left after insisting on coming here, here is Wang Qingke before his death to build a thatched house, celebrities and gentlemen are hidden in the mountains, settled and lived, the thatched house is called no fault, there have been people to seek no fault again, but unfortunately the owner is no longer there.
"If you have any requirements, you can tell me. Su Wen asked softly, as early as when he was in Sanxian Building, the other party had given him a kind reminder, they were all poor people, Wang Qingke said that these people were dreaming about how to leave Sanxian Building, but what if they really went out, the world would pity them, but they would never be allowed.
The jumpsuit shook his head, retreated from the rich and gorgeous Aya Luo of the past, and changed into the coarse cloth clothes of ordinary people, sometimes the difference between the wind and dust woman and the beloved in the boudoir is often so different, but it is two fates.
"Don't pity me, this is the most desirable day in my life. β
Su Wen lived in the grass hut for a long time, drank two meals with the tombstone, Tan Junzi left, he decided to get up and go to Beijing to take the exam, Su Wen wanted to give the other party a sum of money, but Tan Junzi refused, he has a full belly of nylon, hands and feet, there is no starving literati in this world, only starving to death, it is not easy to understand once, with this hand, it is enough for him to live all the way.
After that day, Su Wen didn't go back, he started to move forward, and returned the Qiwang Baozhang, Chen Maochuan's identity will soon be revealed to the world, but this does not mean that his future life will be better, at least those portraits that have been passed on to the killer organization and the forces in the rivers and lakes will make him sad for a while.
It's just that there are two more people who cultivate the fate in the thatched house, Mo Xiuyuan put a stick of incense in front of the grave to help repair the thatched house, Su Wen didn't ask, and the other party didn't answer, the two tacitly worked for a long time, drank a meal, and exchanged names with each other, but Qigui and Qicai are like natural enemies, vulgar and elegant, who looks at anyone is not pleasing to the eye, and they are destined to chatter endlessly.
