Autumn is coming.
The sadness of leaving others.
A glass of wine.
A variety of emotions.
Late autumn is the time of harvest and also the time of farewell.
On this day, a carriage slowly drove out on the road outside Luoyang City.
This driver is a powerful driver. He is the son of the "Bahuang Boxing Sage" and his name is Lei Buji.
As the saying goes, a strange person must have a strange ability. Although Lei Buji is only sixteen years old this year, he looks like a thirty-year-old black man. Just tell him how capable he is?
Of course, in terms of ability, the two people sitting in the carriage at this time are even more powerful.
One of them is Sun Yixie and the other is Huang Donglai.
At the "Young Heroes Meeting" in Yongtai's 18th year that just ended not long ago, one of these two won the first place and the other entered the top 16.
This ranking... may not sound like much at first glance, but in fact the ranking is not the important point.
The key point is that the series of operations they carried out by "strangling the organizer", planning to kill Gu Qiying, breaking the Tianqi Gang, and intelligently saving the martial arts heroes made most of the martial arts world in debt overnight. I did them a big favor.
After this battle, the two of them suddenly changed from two unknown people who had just come out of the world to rising stars with famous names everywhere; even the one who won the first place in the Heroes Association and worked with Gu Lin Yuancheng, who shined brilliantly in the first battle of the shadows, is not as popular as the two of them at this time.
But to be honest... they are not very happy now.
The well-known spiritual teacher Mr. Ben Parker once said - "Withgreatpowercesgreatresponsibility".
That is, "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
It was precisely because of their active performance during this Young Heroes Meeting that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai got into a lot of trouble later on.
First of all, it is about the finishing work of the "Bliss Gu".
This matter was easier to deal with. On the fifth day after the war, that is, August 21st, those who stayed in Luoyang gathered together again and heard Huang Donglai shake. Return the Gu bell. As a result...the Bliss Gu did not attack again, which confirmed that the method Huang Donglai told them to remove the poison was correct.
Those Jianghu heroes were overjoyed on the spot. One of them, the deputy head of a small sect, ran forward and held Huang Donglai's hand with tears in his eyes: "Five days...five days." ! Do you know how I spent these five days!"
Obviously, the method of removing the poison is not very comfortable...
But it is natural. Yes, you take medicine when you are sick, but the medicine is still bitter. If you have been poisoned and want to cure it, why don't you suffer a little bit?
So, Brother Huang quoted the famous saying of Alarak, the high lord of Tal'darin, and answered the other party: "Comfort...are just things to coax children. Only pain and torture are the true meaning of life."
The senior was shocked after hearing thisWell, he almost blurted out and called Brother Huang to the 17 or 18-year-old boy in front of him. Fortunately, there were many big guys from other sects watching, so he finally held back.
In short, after understanding the Gu, the next step is to "explain" to the officials.
Although in this universe, the government's attitude towards the Jianghu is basically "the Jianghu is the Jianghu's," but as Shui Hanyi said in the previous article-it doesn't matter to you, it doesn't matter. If you want to control it, you can do anything. Tube.
If you don’t mention anything else, let’s just say that Sun Yixie set fire to the chief helmsman of the Tianqi Gang. Whether it is a “jianghu matter” or not, you have to say two things: You can say yes, but you have to go To put it into perspective, what if the fire was not controlled in time and burned the people around it? Another possibility... it's not impossible to set half the city on fire.
According to the law of Dashu, any private person who prays to heaven and prays for fire will be punished with an eighty stick. If a fire is set to burn the houses of officials and people, public warehouses, and things accumulated by officials, they will be beheaded.
What does it mean? Even if you accidentally cause a fire while burning incense and worshiping Buddha at home, you will be punished eighty times. If you deliberately set a fire, it will definitely be a crime of losing your head.
So, if the government really wanted to investigate what Sun Yixie did on the night of August 16th, it would be difficult for him to handle it.
And what is going on... is actually a matter of one sentence between Shui Hanyi and Yun Shili.
In private terms, Yun Shui and Sun Yixie have no grudges against Huang Donglai. Not only do they not have any grudges, they also admire and admire these two young men; this is normal... like this. A seven or eight-year-old old bastard, there may not even be one in the world in hundreds of years.
But for Yu Gong, this is not the case.
People in the imperial court must consider and act from the standpoint of the imperial court. People like Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai must be won over if they can be won over. If they cannot be won over, it is best not to quarrel with each other and be smart. "cooperate" with them.
Just like that, on the evening of August 17, in the back hall of the Yamen.
After driving away the county magistrate, Shui Hanyi and Yun Shili, who occupied the magpie's nest, invited Sun and Huang to come and started intense negotiations.
The two first cleverly tested Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai with their fame, wealth, and wealth. They found that although these two guys seemed to be greedy for money, they were not the kind of people who could betray their integrity casually.
Afterwards, the two guys started to talk about "too small" and other strange words that others could not understand. Yun Shili tasted the context of their expressions and felt that they seemed to be hints. It means "not enough"; but there is a saying that the conditions he promised are already very exaggerated, and the higher price is the price that can only be offered by the emperor himself or the corrupt man of the day, and he himself will not be able to enjoy that treatment.
There is no other way. Since these two people are too unruly in the matter of "adding money", the two officials will have no choice but to talk about their ideals with them.
However, after talking for about half an hour, I came to my senses...the content of the conversationHowever, it turned out that Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie were talking about their ideals with Yun Shili and Shui Hanyi.
At this point, the "benevolence" route of giving both kindness and power can no longer continue. Yun Shui and his wife had no choice but to use their official power and start to take the deterrence route.
So, they started to make a fuss about Sun Yixie's arson, but was Brother Sun the kind of person who would confess his crime easily?
"What? Set a fire? What arson?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't let it go. Who saw it if you said I set it?"
>"Listen to what others said? Who? What you say is unfounded, ask him to provide evidence."
Sun Yixie just opened his mouth for such skilled old talk. ; He could still rely on things that were obvious, which made Shui Hanyi and Yun Shili amazed.
But after all...you can't rely on this.
To make a long story short, when he came out of the back hall of the Yamen that night, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai reached the following agreement with the officials represented by Yun Shui:
First, Gu Qiying’s book Notes on cultivating gu must be handed over to the court for safekeeping.
This immoral thing will cause endless harm if it flows into the rivers and lakes, and cannot be left alone; although... it does not mean that there will be no hidden dangers if this thing falls into the hands of the imperial court, but relatively speaking, it is definitely better than staying in the hands of the imperial court. Huang Donglai's hands are safer.
Secondly, all the properties and businesses of the Zhengyi Sect, including of course the cleaning and reconstruction work of their general helm, will be taken over by the Jinyiwei side, hoping to take advantage of the demise of the Zhengyi Sect to come and carve up the profits. The sect doesn’t need to think about it anymore... and it will avoid triggering a new round of conflict when you come to fight for it.
This arrangement originally had nothing to do with Sun and Huang, but the official hoped that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai would come forward to convey this matter to those martial arts people; after all, they had just saved the gang. The fate of their comrades was now being negotiated by them, and even if they had any dissatisfaction, it was difficult for them to express their dissatisfaction.
Thirdly, they have to go to Wuchang for a trip. As for why they want to go... it has something to do with "Shadow". It's a long story, so I won't tell it here.
In contrast to these "obligations", they will naturally also receive some "rights" and other benefits.
Shui Hanyi and Yun Shili promised that from now on, no matter where Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai go in this Dazu territory, they can be given "easy deals" in official terms ”, which means that the yamenmen will turn a blind eye to their various illegal and disciplinary behaviors, whether they are “jianghu affairs” or “ordinary matters”; and if they need to rely on the power of the government for something, the local The government will also try its best to facilitate them.
Originally... it was over, but because Sun and Huang were really good at shameless bargaining, they chatted and proposed to let the government reward them with a few hundred taels of gold. I mean, he also said, "Outstanding citizens who acted bravely and thwarted the conspiracy of a terrorist organization deserved to be rewarded."
Shui Hanyi thought about it, you two burned most of the foundation of Zhengyi Sect with all your troubles. I haven’t even settled the accounts with you for the losses, but now you are so confident that you want to blackmail us for hundreds of taels of gold. ? Do you think I'm stupid?
But later on, he couldn’t stand the two people’s tough talk. He and Yun Shili worked together, forget it... These local officials in Luoyang have also received a lot of benefits from Shen Youran over the years, so let’s just do it Let them spend some money to get the money; anyway, these days, as long as you are an official, no one can get some dirty money from their family.
It took a few more days to raise money, but Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai had to stay in Luoyang for five days to wait for the group of people who had been infected by the poison to finish removing the poison, so they were not in a hurry.
In short, after all this, the two of them stayed in Luoyang for seven more days. After seven days, they packed their luggage, packed their carriages, and then left with Lei Buji. Luoyang City.
This Lei Buji is also very playful. He originally promised his father to go home after visiting the Young Heroes Association, but after experiencing all the previous events, his mind changed; especially After losing to Chun Kong in the eight-to-four first round of the martial arts test, and seeing Lin Yuancheng's martial arts in the finals and the siege of Gu Qiying, he also deeply realized what it means that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world...
Lei Buji felt that if he continued to stay in that ravine, he would probably always be just a fool living in the shadow of his father, so he wrote a letter to his family, saying that he wanted to be more adventurous in the world. After a while, broaden your horizons, do more experience, and go home after you have made a name for yourself.
Because he was afraid that his father would be worried, he specifically mentioned in the letter that he worshiped two "eldest brothers" and emphasized that both Brother Sun and Brother Huang were heroes with righteousness, courage and courage. , with them taking it, I will never suffer a loss.
You can imagine what his father thought when he saw this letter, but that is another story.
In addition, there is another thing that must be mentioned, that is, the injury of "Yin Dao" Bai Ruhong; although everyone invited the best doctor in Luoyang City to diagnose and treat him the day after the incident, It would be difficult for ordinary doctors to figure out the reason for his strange injury.
In the end, Little Master Chunkong was compassionate. Considering that the monks and Taoists were all monks, he took the initiative to take over the responsibility and took Bai Ruhong back to the Shaolin Temple. He wanted to invite the eminent monks in the temple to come with him. Come to find a way to cure Bai Ruhong.
This proposal is quite reasonable, because Shaolin Temple is very close to Luoyang City, only half a day's journey away. Bai Ruhong's physical condition is not suitable for long-distance travel, so it would be good to be sent to Shaolin; furthermore, After all, Shaolin has profound knowledge and high morals. Even if no one in their sect can save Bai Ruhong, there may be someone who knows who in the world can save him. To say the least... at least there is no need to worry about Bai Ruhong falling into the hands of these monks. What harm was done.
After explaining these things, let’s go back to Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.
Wuchang is not too far from Luoyang, at least it is longer than going to Hangzhou or SichuanIt was much closer, and their first stop after leaving Luoyang was to go back to Nuxuzhou.
With the carriage and Lei Buji as a free driver, they naturally took the official route.
After all, the official road is smooth and safe.
But is it really absolutely safe? Thinking about the scene when Shen Youran's carriage was raided by the Cao Gang outside Hangzhou, you must have the answer...
Right now, in broad daylight, in the bright sky, Sun The carriage that the two Huangs were riding in was suddenly stopped by someone.
The man blocking the road wore a bamboo hat on his head and a long sword hanging from his waist. He was tall and straight, strong and vigorous.
He just poked into the middle of the road without saying a word. With his flamboyant murderous intent, everyone who saw him could understand that this guy was not a good person.
Lei Buji saw this man from afar. He stopped his horse and slowed down before the carriage could reach him.
It’s not that he was afraid, the main reason was that the horse and the cart were expensive, and they were all new. Lei Buji was a child from a poor family and was reluctant to spoil things. Although the cart and horse were not produced by him, Money, but the finances that his eldest brother extorted from the Yamen Gate were damaged, and he felt distressed.
"Friend, what do you mean by blocking the road for no reason?" After parking the car, Lei Buji did not get down from the driving position, but asked loudly from a distance towards the person blocking the road.
"It has nothing to do with you." The man wearing a bamboo hat was faceless, but his voice sounded quite young. "I'm looking for the person in the car."
" Huh?" With this sentence, Lei Buji became a little angry, "Why do you have nothing to do with me? The two in the car are my elder brothers. Have you asked me anything?" /p>
At this moment, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, who were sitting in the carriage, were almost dumbfounded. They thought to themselves that Lei Buji was so heartless. No one even tested you, so you took the initiative to put everything in the car. How many people have leaked this kind of information?
The man wearing the hat was actually not that thoughtful. He raised his head slightly, glanced up from under the brim of his hat, looked at Lei Buji, and said to himself: "What's going on?" ? I heard that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai are both seventeen or eighteen years old. Why did this dark-faced man who looked like Meng Zhang Fei call them brother? "< /p>
Just when he was hesitating, Lei Buji was already a little impatient and urged him again: "Hey! I'm telling you, if you have something to say, talk about it. If nothing else, don't block the way."
p>"Hmph..." The man in the hat was obviously displeased when he heard this. He immediately sneered and said, "A boy who is driving a carriage dares to talk to me like this. It seems that I have to take your place. The two elder brothers need to teach you a lesson..."
When he finished speaking, he moved and the long sword at his waist was already unsheathed.
