MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 118

Master Yin's words were like a muffled thunder falling in mid-air, buzzing in the ears of the shocked crowd.

Wan Songbai woke up and slapped his thigh hard: "I remember it! I said how do I think I've seen it before? It turned out that I made a detour to Chen County to celebrate the prefect's birthday on the way to the post more than half a year ago. , I remember it, I remember it... That little old man surnamed Yan was sitting in the middle of a group of county magistrates, quietly putting on a stinky air, so annoying!"

"It's really the magistrate of Tongniu..." Cheng Song said blankly, "Why did he go to Xu County, and who did he meet?"

The two points he asked were exactly what everyone wanted to know, and everyone looked at each other.

Ling Budo asked, "Master Yin, do you recognize Yan Zhong?"

How could Master Yin dare to have a relationship with the traitor, he quickly said: "Reporting to Lord Ling, Bieji doesn't recognize Yan Thief himself. However, Bieji is a native of Xu County, and a woman from Bieji's family. It's a local from Chen County..." He smiled awkwardly, "Country people have nothing to do, and they like to talk about people's strengths and weaknesses. Every time the Hui people meet, they can hear the trivialities of several counties in the north, and then accompany their housewives. Go to the uncle's family and listen to the parents' stories in several counties in the south."

He turned around to everyone in the room and continued: "This magistrate Yan is a very famous person in Chen County, and he knew that he was reprimanded by His Majesty when he went to Tongniu County. No one buys his account. He has no backers, and he is arrogant. How could he have a better life?! Four or five months ago, his mother was seriously ill, so he had to **** the property and hire a famous doctor, and then he replaced the carriage with a After the ox cart, it was still a green ox and a yellow ox, which was a laughing stock in Chen County for a while. Later, when I heard that Yan Li was cured, the Yan family gradually turned around, and he changed back to a horse-drawn carriage. On the day of the Water Temple, it was Yan Zhong who used the green ox and the yellow ox."

The room was silent, only Wan Songbai muttered: "Just for this to kill me? Even if that person is Yan Zhong, I didn't see anything."

Ling Budoubt said: "Perhaps, Taishou Wan saw Yan Zhong meet another person. This incident itself is a big hidden danger for the person behind the scenes."

Master Lu was attentive for a long time, then cupped his hands towards Ling Buxuan: "My family is in a quagmire without knowing it. I beg Lord Ling to give me some advice. I will wait for the next step."

Wan Songbai thought that Ling was undoubtedly the righteous brother and son-in-law. Wouldn't it make him look down on the Cheng family if he asked for help like this, so he pretended to be carefree: "Hey, Master, don't worry. I've been here for so many years, what is a mere assassin..."

"Yeah, it's nothing, it's just a few serious injuries, but I just lay on the couch for two days."

Shao Shang smiled lightly, and was about to express his opinion on how to investigate the case, when he thought of Ling Budo beside him, he quickly shrank back, and asked Ling Budo to show it with his eyes .

Ling Budo secretly laughed and scolded, 'I remember Wenliang, respectful and thrifty at this time', and turned to a serious tone: "Master Lu, don't worry, before, the enemy was secretive and I was clear, and the other party was calculating with intentions, and now I have no intention of waiting. I'll wait for the precautions, if the assassin dares to come, it will be better, I will send someone to **** Wan Taishou back to the capital, and catch a few alive along the way and everything will be clear."

After saying this, everyone in the room laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Prefect Wan will continue to recover from his injuries. When he recovers, he will return to the capital to face the saint. Keep in mind that this time the prefect was impeached by Huang Wen, so go back to the capital and make it clear. Since the prefect has Evidence to prove your innocence, you can speak freely as much as you want. The prefect will answer whatever your majesty asks, if you don't know, you can't explain clearly, and the prefect next to you doesn't need to care about anything." Ling Budo continued.

Wan Songbai wondered: "But the thief behind the scenes..."

"If you are not in your position, do not seek your own affairs. Since the root of the matter is in Tongniu County, it should be the officials of Chen County who are anxious. What is the relationship with Xu County. The prefect first cleans up his notoriety Now, let's take care of the rest."

Master Lu praised: "Lord Ling said that I was in a daze, but I was dizzy."

After this agreement, Ling Budo began to assign tasks.

Uncle Ban just had a relapse of his old disease, and he can continue on the road after two days of rest; Go to Tongniu County in person, leave the Cheng family juniors to continue to take care of Wan Songbai, and leave after the injury improves.

Ling Budo got up with a lot of worry, and before his feet crossed the threshold, he caught a glimpse of Shaoshang and Wan Eqi chatting softly together, and vaguely heard that they were going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. birdhouse. Ling Budo thought for a while, turned his toes, and walked over to pick up the young merchant: "You should go to Tongniu County with me, just bring two maids and carry-on luggage."

Shao Shang was surprised and delighted: "You want to take me to Tongniu County to investigate the case? Do you think I can help?"

"I'm just afraid that I don't keep my eye on you for a while, and I'll have to come back to save you when I'm halfway through."

Short quotient:…

Because Tongniu County is located in the northernmost part of Chen County and adjacent to Xu County, there is no need to bring too much luggage, and a single carriage is fully included. Bringing Lotus Fang and Sangguo, and putting on the new riding outfit that the Queen had just made for her by the palace servants, Shaoshang was ready to set off in high spirits the next morning.

Ban Xiaohou leaned halfway out of the carriage and couldn't help but glance at her - the riding outfit was vermilion brocade with gold pattern, with snow-white sable velvet and pearl-embellished collar Fate, the girl's snowy skin reflects the peach cheeks, and the pink smudges the green temples. Rao is surrounded by a chilling color in the middle of winter, and it is difficult to hide the color of Jiaoer's spring flowers.

According to Ling Budo's instructions, Shao Shang must check the horse's hoofs in person before leaving, but when he saw his twin brother came over with the horse, he wondered: "Third brother, why are you here?"

Cheng Shaogong said weakly: "I have admired the scenery of Tongniu County for a long time, and I plan to go with you."

"Don't make trouble, three brothers, you never like to enjoy the natural scenery."

"Actually, I have admired Ban Xiaohou for a long time, and I plan to spend the night with him and make friends."

Ban Jia was full of surprises: "Really, what have you heard about me, I am willing to be commensurate with your brother!" He was lonely since he was a child, because his family was too protective, and he could not have anything hair small.

Cheng Shaogong smiled and said: "Thank you."

Shao Shang held the dagger at his waist, squinted his eyes and said: "Third brother, you better tell the truth! Are you still worried that I am alone with Master Ling? So many guards, so long Army, are you blind!"

Cheng Shaogong said angrily: "What do you want me to do, I'm desperate too!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed tired and unwilling to take care of Shao Shang, and after throwing the reins to her, he spontaneously got into Ban Jia's carriage: "Little Marquis, let me Squeeze with you... Hey, why do you keep looking at my little sister?"

Ban Jia blushed and said, "No, it's nothing...I just think Shao Shangjun is pretty...pretty good-looking." In fact, he didn't have any fancy thoughts, just pure appreciation of beauty.

Cheng Shaogong saw Ling Budo, who was gradually approaching from the car window, and said coldly, "If the little Marquis is wearing women's clothes, I think he will not be under his sister."

Ban Jia was ashamed and annoyed, and threw down the curtain: "You, why are you talking like this... Just now you said you want to make friends with me, but you and those who love to make fun of me turn out to be Same…!"

Cheng Shaogong had no expression on his face: "Good medicine is bitter, but honest words are not good. In the future, the little prince will know what a rare friend I am. Just now, I saved the little prince half a piece. Life." Ling Bu doubted that the man was a wolf, and he would be unhappy if he looked at his own territory.

"I don't believe you!"

"Today I'll make friends with fate, and I'll help Xiaohou Ye again - I'll change these sissy words later, or people will make fun of you when you're fifty." "...I won't talk to you. It's gone!"

Ban Jia almost burst into tears.

It doesn't mean that he doesn't yearn for a life of iron and blood in his heart.

"Don't be sad." Cheng Shaogong patted him on the back and comforted, "It's a pity that you weren't born in my family, otherwise it would be fine to let your mother beat you hard, and you will be taken care of. Thick-skinned, hard-hearted, invincible." Having said that, but think about it, Mrs. Xiao disliked boys like Ban Jia the most in her life.

I heard Ling Budo's brief and clean order from outside the carriage, and the Qingqi whipped up neatly. Ban Jia twitched her delicate nose in the corner, Cheng Shao Gong leaned against the wall of the car and dozed off. Who would have guessed that someone would call him from outside the car before he slept for a long time.

"The third son, the third son!" The servant of the Cheng residence lowered his voice and got into the car, "I saw the young lady and Master Ling got into the carriage in front, and there were only the two of them in the car!"

Cheng Shaogong abruptly opened his eyes and said nervously: "Well, aren't they all riding horses! Master Ling is still the leader of the army, how can..." Well, the army commander can also enter the carriage of!

He didn't even bother to ask, he pushed open the car door, put one foot on the car board, and leaped lightly on the back of the horse led by the other hand, and then doubled With his legs tucked into the horse's belly, he walked away.

Ban Jia was stunned in the car, thinking that Cheng Shao Gong was a year younger than himself, and his demeanor was generally weak. Like a rabbit. He was careful and pure, not knowing why Cheng Shaogong ran so fast, after hesitating for a while, he also asked his entourage to bring a horse and follow him.

Cheng Shaogong panted to catch up with the huge dark iron carriage at the forefront of the team, he ignored the surprised expressions of the guards and driver at the front, and threw himself directly from the saddle to the door of the car , Liang Qiuqi had already buckled a cold short blade in his palm, but when he saw Cheng Shaogong, he was not good at killing him.

Cheng Shaogong slammed into the car. There was only one man and one woman in the car. I saw a handsome young man with his shirt half-open, revealing a beige tunic and a fair and solid chest with a striking line on it. The bloodstains were like red silk wrapped in snow, and the girl was holding the sleeve of his robe with one hand and the fine linen silk handkerchief with the other. Taking a closer look, Ling Budo placed his left palm on the girl's waist, and his right hand held the girl's small hand on his rotator cuff.

"What are you doing!" Cheng Shaogong felt that his Baihui acupoint was steaming and smoking.

The young merchant quickly pushed Ling Budo away, his cheeks flushed: "Lord Ling's injury has not healed, I, I will change his dressing..." Yes, she is not so bold to do some substantive actions, so she is limited to flirting, flirting but not hitting.

Cheng Shaogong saw that the silk handkerchief in her sister's hand was stained with medicinal powder.

When he just crashed into the car, he glanced hurriedly. At that time, Ling Budo's low-pitched expression was extremely gentle, as if the sky was uninterrupted by blue clouds, and there was a lingering expression on his white face. flush. But at this time, I saw that his throat was slightly rolling, and the anger that was originally like an autumn water was hidden in the eyes, and the anger was about to burst out from the water.

"It's like this..." Cheng Shao Gong slowly shrank behind his sister, forcing his composure, "I have thought about this case... Ah, Master Ban Xiaohou also came, Please get in the car, please get in the car!" "That's it..." Cheng Shao Gong slowly shrank behind his sister, forcing his composure, "I have thought about this case... Ah, Master Ban Xiaohou is here too, Please get in the car, please get in the car!"

The world is not as big as his own life. He is used to acting in the hands of Mrs. Xiao since he was a child. Only then did he feel safe and secure.

Ling Budo slowly closed the front of her clothes, then pulled the girl to sit closer to him, and then said coldly, "What is your opinion, Third Young Master, please speak freely."

Where does Cheng Shaogong have any insights? Fortunately, he responded quickly, and immediately said: "I thought about it last night, since Yan Zhong has defected to the enemy, he must be quoted. What my uncle saw at Dieshui Temple that day was the meeting between Yan Zhong and the envoy Peng Ni! That's right, that's it!"

Ling Budo sneered: "That's all?"

Cheng Shaogong embarrassed: "...Yes... ah."

If you don't understand it, please ask the third son and the little prince to take a look at the details."

Cheng Shaogong didn't dare, Ban Jia didn't dare to answer.

"One, Taishou Wan met Yan Zhong at Dieshui Temple four months ago, but he was assassinated only last month? Why is this?"

Cheng Shaogong couldn't answer, Ban Jia guessed: "Maybe it was only recruited last month?"

Shao Shang's face was finally not red, she thought for a while, and replied: "It will take two months to recruit people? No, but because Yan Zhong and the other person did not recognize Wan at that time. Uncle, and uncle always likes to wear rich and noble clothes, I can’t say they thought it was a businessman of the way, so they didn’t take it to heart at that time.”

"Then why did you start assassinating your uncle last month?" Cheng Shaogong said.

Shao Shang said: "Because they saw Uncle again last month and knew that Uncle is the prefect of Xu County. As an official of the same dynasty, what if they were recognized? Naturally, they had to shut up. something happened."

Ling Buzhuo showed admiration in his eyes: "Well said, I also think so, but this leads to the second difficulty. It is well known that Yan Zhong defected with copper, if four A few months ago, they wanted to kill Prefect Wan for fear of leaking secrets, which makes sense. But Yan Zhong had already fled at the beginning of last month, so why kill Prefect Wan again? Everyone knows whether to kill or not. Collusion with Peng Ni, why bother."

Cheng Shaogong and Ban Jia were a little confused, Shao Shang looked up at the roof of the car, and suddenly said: "...So, the person surnamed Yan may not have seen Peng Ni's side that day, but something else What kind of person can't be recognized by Uncle Wan!"

Ban Jia gave a high five: "Ms. Cheng said it well!"

Ling Budo smiled and said, "That's right. Next is the third thing, and it's something I still don't understand. Yan Zhong is not a mediocre and incompetent person, if he wants to meet people secretly , There are some ways to cover it up. Why do you have to take the car of the green and yellow ox, the two places are not far apart, and you can get there by horseback in more than half a day. Even if you can't buy a horse, there is always money to rent a horse in the market. But if it is said that the two of them meet upright, then why not in such a remote shrine."

Cheng Shaogong said: "Perhaps Yan Zhong and that person are both faithful believers in the Fa, and they have made an appointment to go to the shrine to worship the Tao together?"

Ling Budo glanced at him and felt that there was no need to answer this question.

Ban Jia said: "Perhaps another person is on his way. Is it because the county magistrate Yan crossed the boundary between the two counties and took the initiative to see him?"

Ling Budoubt said: "It's possible, but if you're in a hurry, shouldn't Yan Zhong ride a horse."

Shao Shang thought of a possibility and laughed: "Maybe that Yan man can't ride a horse, just like Ban Xiaohou Ye, he is a weak scholar."

Ban Jia quickly protested: "I can ride a horse, I can also shoot arrows and swordsmanship, if you don't believe me, I will shoot some game for you!"

Cheng Shaogong complained: "What are you talking about, how can there be scholars in the world who can't ride horses and archery, they belong to the six arts, everyone has to learn."

Shao Shang was stunned for a moment, and found himself out of touch again.

The scholars at this time were not the type of scholars of the later generations. Even the Confucian scholar and scribe who spent all day discussing the scriptures were able to dance swords, ride and shoot. . Naturally, the fights in the school are also very fierce. It is said that several masters in the Taixue are all masters of swordsmanship in the world, and they were trained during the years of suppressing students' fights.

"What is the reason for that?" She was at a loss.

Ling Budoubt said: "When we reach Tongniu County, maybe we will all know."
