Cheng Zongyang came out from behind the screen. Is this person kidding?
What do you think?
Identity is a fake one. What kind of small business is going on? I took out three hundred gold baht at random, and didn't blink. Did you see it? When he left, he didn't look relieved at all, but he looked worried. I looked at him, he didn't expect you to find those people at all. Maybe he made up stories from beginning to end, and those people didn't exist at all.
Jin Zhu, but it was true, Lu Jing picked up a Jin Zhu and weighed it, and said: Ying Yang Hou is not a joke.
who?
Although the man changed into cloth clothes, he had no time to change his shoes. The tip of the shoe had a torn thread, and the broken marks were still fresh. Obviously, there was a pearl embedded on it. There was a callus on the middle finger of his right hand. It was a trace left by common use of swords and pens. Generally, scholars cannot afford to wear pearls. Those who can afford to wear pearls rarely use swords and pens to wear pearls and pens, and only the guests or slaves of powerful families are the only ones who are the powerful and powerful families.
Then how do you know it is the Marquis of Yingyang? There are at least dozens of princes in Luodu?
You remember him saying, "Don't doubt people, use people...", Lu Jing paused for a moment, and then said: Isn't it a bit weird?
Cheng Zongyang recalled, and it was a bit strange, "I don't need to doubt people, but I don't doubt people." He couldn't even say such easy words.
It’s not that I can’t say it, it’s because I avoid taboo. Lu Jing said: The name of the Marquis of Yingyang, Lu Buyi
Cheng Zongyang is not unfamiliar with taboos, and he also knows that the Han Dynasty attaches great importance to taboos, especially under normal circumstances, nouns similar to the names of emperors all need to be changed. For example, Chang'e in the Moon Palace was originally named hénge, and Lu Buwei's prime minister was originally a prime minister. Jingzhe in the twenty-four solar terms was originally Qizhe, and some of them can be changed because of the names of the emperors. For example, Wang Zhaojun, in order to avoid Sima Zhao's name, he changed it to Wang Mingjun. Therefore, all poems about her are called Mingfei Song. At least her real name is still there, but there is an additional alias and Cai Wenji who is also avoiding taboos. Few people remember that her real name is Cai Zhaoji.
Below the emperor, children face their parents, and guests face their masters, and the former also need to avoid the former, such as Li He, whose father is named Jin, and even the Jinshi exam was criticized by the world, and even after being depressed, Du Fu was still depressed. It is said that the mother of the poet saint's mother was Haitang, so the most famous example of the latter is Feng Dao. His disciple read Laozi, Tao can be said, it is very Tao. In one sentence, it is read: Can't say it, can't say it, can't say it, can't say it, can't say it, can't say it
The middle-aged man surnamed Tang hesitated about the word "No doubt" obviously out of taboo. Lu Jing was able to find the name of the victim from it, which was also keen and unprocessed. Zong Yang cared about another thing. He frowned and said: People from the Lu family?
Yes, Lu Jingdao: The Lu family's generation is a waste, but this Yingyang Hou is known as a scholar, known as a polite and a gentleman.
Lu Jingyu was ridiculed and looked down upon Lu Buyi, but this was Lu Wu Ge's family tradition. Even if he brought Confucius to him, he still rolled his eyes. Lu Buyi was not a gentleman.
Cheng Zongyang said: Could it be that Hou Yingyang really met some paranoid?
Lu Jing bounced his fingers, who knows?
Cheng Zongyang suddenly had an idea, could it be that Yan Junping, the paradise who could make a king and a prince care about?
Lu Jing said: Why do you say this?
There is no reason. Cheng Zongyang said frankly: I just think this is quite strange. With the identity of the Marquis of Yingyang, Lu Buyi, there are not many paranormal experts who can be valued by him. In the entire Han Dynasty, most of such experts are famous figures. If you want to investigate, it is not difficult for Yingyang to meet the master who is difficult to find. It is very likely that which famous figure was hidden in the name of Yan Junping. Will he hide in the inn?
Lu Jing did not comment. In order to find Yan Junping's whereabouts, he and Simingxin almost read Luo. If someone sat in the house, they would send clues, the probability would be smaller than the pie falling from the sky.
Cheng Zongyang said: Fifth brother, are you going to accept this business?
Why not take it? Lu Jingdao: Finding a brother in the 500 Jinzhu camp costs one month, which is enough for me to raise a 500 Jinzhu camp.
There is a lot of money, but there is no clue at all. How to find it?
How do I know? Lu Jing rolled his eyes and said: Go to bed quickly and go out with me early tomorrow!
…………………………
Luodu is surrounded by majestic passes, the most famous of which are Hangu, Hulao, Yique and Luyuan. The four majestic passes are located between Luodu and Hangu Pass, more than 30 miles away from the capital. It is a must-pass place for Luodu to travel west and the first destination for travel west. Therefore, although the city is not large, it is quite prosperous. There are more than ten inns alone.
At dawn, before the door of Ping'an Inn opened, a brutal sound of the door was heard, opening the door! The official investigated the case! Hurry up!
The shop owner came out in a hurry. As soon as he removed the door latch, the door was kicked open. The shop owner staggered and almost fell down.
A man rushed in. He had a big beard and was wearing a greasy soap suit. The corners of his clothes were tucked to his waist, and his legs were covered with dust.
When the shop owner saw his posture, he immediately became three points shorter. What the people in the country feared the most was not the county magistrate, but the kind of subordinates. They colluded with each other, taking both black and white, and they could destroy their family in one sentence, and this person's dress was obviously the golf in the countryside. Although the golf is a minor official who prohibits thieves, the shop owner knew that some golf is more cruel than thieves.
The Youzi seemed to have his eyes on his head, and he looked up at him without looking at him, shouting: The sky is blue and the sun is blue, and the door is not even opened! Could it be that he was doing something evil!
Don't dare! Don't dare! The owner quickly said a lot of flattery words
Youzi pushed him impatiently, I heard that your store was on fire?
If someone else asked this, the owner spat and your house caught fire! But when the old man spoke, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he put his heart back in his stomach, and quickly said: "You are the one who caught the fire, you are the Changxing Foot Shop outside the town."
You Dayan said: Isn’t it here?
Is it like I'm overdoing this place? The owner accompanied me and said carefully: No, no
The Youzi refused to leave, but instead rolled his eyes and said: When did it catch fire?
The owner quickly said: The day before yesterday, the weather was dry and the fire broke out in the middle of the night. When he heard the noise, the house had burned through. None of the old man Sun's family, the young and old, ran out.
You snorted, I heard that some enemies in the foot shop were taken revenge by someone. There was no such thing as this! The owner said: Old man Sun from the foot shop, everyone in the town knows that he is the most honest and loyal and never makes grudges with others.
You rolled your eyes, didn’t you burn it?
The owner's legs became weak and almost knelt down, squirting people with blood! This thief came to the door and blackmailed him. If he couldn't satisfy him, he would have to peel off his skin even if he didn't die. The owner quickly took out a few silver baht and stuffed it into You Zi's hand, and whispered: "You guys can drink some wine and drink the fire in the store really has nothing to do with the villain."
You weighed the amount of money, then took it into your arms and said carelessly: If you are not you, the official asked you a few words, but you heard carefully
The owner secretly wiped his sweat, yes
You Zi asked a few casual questions, but it was just that he had seen some strange people in the past few days. Is there any abnormality in the town? You Zi answered one by one with one ear and came out, and didn't take it seriously. Finally, he said: Where is the foot shop?
The shop owner quickly pointed to the location and sent the mess out like a plague god.
You strode out of the alley, turned around, took off your beard, took off your wardrobe, exposed a worn-out jacket, and then wiped your palms on your face. When it fell, the fierce expression just now disappeared, becoming pale and thin, with a sad face, like a haggard young man running for food and clothing.
It was still early, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. He looked around in a daze, then hesitated to a stall, cringed and clasped his fists, and said softly: I dare to ask my elder sister, I wonder how far is the Changxing Foot Shop in the town?
The woman who was pancakes in the stall stopped, Changxing Foot Shop? What are you looking for to do?
The young man showed a hint of ashamed. My son returned to his hometown a few days ago and hired a porter to carry furniture. Until now, no one has come. The porter was hired by the young man, so the matter fell on the young man's head and heard that they were staying in Changxing Foot Shop. The young man came to look for it, was there something wrong with it?
The woman said sympathetically: This... I'm afraid it's hard to find a siege, Changxing Foot Shop is there
The young man bowed with his fists, thank you sister, and hurried there after saying that
Wait, the woman called him, take this pancake
The young man waved his hands repeatedly, no need, I have money...
Take it and the woman speaks quickly. Look at you for a few days, you always feel more relaxed. There are only some furniture around you, so where is the life?
Cheng Zongyang looked at him with admiration, "Haah, Fifth Brother, you're so rich... Oh, and Zhang Bing is not guilty or not?"
Don't eat it
Don't get up in the middle of the night, I haven't eaten yet, give me half
Lu Jing said last night that he went out early, which was not ordinary early. Cheng Zongyang was dragged up by him just after sleeping until midnight. The two of them climbed over the wall and found out outside the Luodu gate. Jiang Anshi had prepared a carriage and rushed up to Tang overnight.
Cheng Zongyang tore open the pancakes and said while eating: Can’t you just ask if you have something to do? Why do you go around such a big circle?
Just ask, will others say it?
Why not say it?
The five fingers are not the same. You will say that others may not say that it is a big deal of extinguishing the door due to fire. What if there is a risk behind it? It is normal for humans to seek profit and avoid harm.
Isn't it enough to spend some money? Cheng Zongyang said: What we lack now is time, and we don't lack this little money. If we ask this, it will take two days, and spend one day to spend.
The news that you buy money is the most unreliable. Lu Jing said: If you buy news in one day, you will probably take five days to tell the truth or falsehood. What’s more important is that if you spend money to buy news, you will only make people suspicious and let you be a killer. You are afraid that the first business will be your life in it.
Cheng Zongyang touched his chin and said: It seems to make some sense...Fifth brother, please teach me a few more tricks.
Lu Jing did not hide his own personal feelings. He wanted to talk from others, but there were only four tricks: threaten him with power, seduce him with benefits, move him with emotion, and explain him with reason and threaten him with temptation. It is a matter of not being able to use it lightly. When using it, you must first look at people. People in the Han Dynasty are brave and powerful, and they cannot be defeated. Some people are rashly pushing each other, which will only make mistakes.
For example, the shop owner just now has a family and a job, and is doing a business of welcoming and sending off, and will not easily make enemies with others. In this way, the county magistrate is worse than to take charge. I pretended to be a wanderer, walked in and yelled hard, and saw the shop owner's majesty of fear of the stewardship, and then got five points. But if you just use force at this time, you will only lose your temper. Therefore, I let the wind and say that it was to investigate the case next to you and hear that the matter was not yours. The shop owner lost his guard, and then I was scared a little. The shop owner stuffed money over and knew that he was already despaired. This was the only thing he could do was to say.
Cheng Zongyang was very impressed. Just a question is so much knowledge. Lu Wu Ge’s family of giant gangs is really not in vain.
What did the shop owner say?
He said that when the 9th day of the lunar calendar, he saw a car passing by and he didn't see who it was, but he saw a flag on the car.
Cheng Zongyang was excited, what font is on the flag?
The owner is illiterate
Cheng Zongyang was depressed. Except for Song State, the Six Dynasties, the literacy rate of other countries was 10% burning high incense.
Lu Jing paused for a moment...but he remembered that there were two square boxes on the flag, one big and one small
Back? No! Lü! Cheng Zongyang immediately reacted
The small one is on top, the big one is on the bottom, and there is a small tail in the middle
Although it is a clue that cannot be simple, it is a crucial link in the puzzle of the entire incident. It seems that Brother Lu Wu guessed it wrong, and that Yingyang Hou’s disciple did not lie. On the night of the ninth day of the lunar month, Yingyang Hou Lu Buyi did indeed pass by Shangtang.
It was already an unexpected surprise to be able to get this clue from the uninformed shop owner. Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: For the woman who sells cakes, the fifth brother is just to touch her with emotion.
Compassion is a kind of sister-in-law, you can use it to coerce and induce it, and it is useless to move it with emotion. It is the best way to prescribe the right medicine, and these two people are not chosen casually. Lu Jing said: The owner's inn is at the entrance of the alley, and the carriages and pedestrians have to pass by the door. The cake seller also asked these two places, and the clues of soup were found.
I see that you didn’t talk to your sister-in-law for a long time, did you find out clearly after a few words?
Lu Jing said: What's the hurry? It's not time to ask
While they were talking, they walked outside the town and walked around the woods. They saw a dark fire scene from afar.
The entire inn was burned to white ground, and it can only be seen that the location of the inn is quite far from the town, close to the main road, and there is no trace of the original house, and the yard is covered with ashes.
Although two days later, the fire was still filled with a choking stench, which made Cheng Zongyang cover his nose and Lu Jing ignored it. He walked around the fire, squatted down from time to time to check, picked up a burnt stone or a few pieces of broken tiles and glanced at it.
The body had been collected and the other things were burned out, and there was no valuable clue. Lu Jing clapped his hands and pointed to the fire and said: The gate is on the north side, along the road is adobe wall, on the east side is a cafe, on the west side are two shops, and on the south side are upper rooms, but not only the residents are
Not just living in it? What else?
Lu Jing pulled out an upside down cup from the ashes and uncovered it. There were several white-burned bone dice inside. After a little pinch, it turned into pieces.
casino?
Just a pastime. Lu Jing clapped his hands. Most of the people staying in the foot shop are poor. If it weren't for the main road here, Yingyang Hou might not have passed by.
Cheng Zongyang pointed to the most pungent piece in the corner. What is that? It smells so bad.
Wash the toilet
Toilet? Why is there a pile of black things in the toilet, just like burnt meat?
That's a pig
There is something strange! Cheng Zongyang shouted: Why did the pig run into the toilet?
Lu Jing rolled his eyes, there was a pig inside the word "王"
The pigpen and the toilet are together? I'll do it!
The cesspool and the burned pigs are no wonder this place smells terrible
Lu Jing scoffed at his shock, it was rare and strange.
Cheng Zongyang finally recovered and covered his nose and said: I don’t know anything about it. I only know the ninth day of the eighth month and Changxing Foot Shop. Now that the shops are burned out, how can I find it? It’s impossible to complete Ah
Lu Jing said: It's time
when?
Question
…………………………
The young man came back in dismay, his face blue and yellow
The woman who was pancake couldn't help but say: Have you found it?
The young man shook his head, staggered away, suddenly stopped, and whispered: Do you dare to ask my sister, are there any customers in the foot shop a few days ago?
Old Man Sun's foot shop is far away from the town and is still separated by the woods. Usually, people can't see it in and out of the town.
Who usually lives in the foot shop?
Then we can't say it. The woman said: Old man Sun has a weird temper and doesn't interact with people in the town on weekdays. Otherwise, how could he build a foot shop outside the town alone? Speaking of which, although his temper is strange, he is not bad. He didn't expect to encounter such a disaster... The woman talked for a while, and saw that his expression became more and more dismal, she couldn't help but sigh. When did it happen?
The eighth day of the lunar month... It was noon, it was the night of the lunar month. The young man said: It was already noon when the porters left, and it was mostly midnight when they arrived in town.
The woman thought for a while. That night, our dog ran out to play. The food was cold and it had not come back yet. I asked his father to go find him. His father refused. I even had a fight with his father. I came out to find the dog. It seemed that I saw someone leaving the town and going to Old Man Sun's shop...
The young man hurriedly said: Are you an old man?
The woman shook her head, it wasn't a scholar, I saw him looking for several inns, all of which were full of people, so I had to turn back.
Do you remember what he looks like?
It's dark, how can I see clearly? I carved five zithers and a wooden barrel, which was strange.
…………………………
The carriage was bumpy all the way back to Luodu Cheng Zongyang and said: There is another possibility, what if the scholar left Luodu? Now maybe he has already left the Han Kingdom.
Lu Jing said: The scholar looked for several inns along the way, and then returned to Changxing Foot Shop at the westernmost end of Shangtang. If he came out of Luodu, if he asked from east to west, there was no need to return. Therefore, he would only go from west to east and towards Luodu. He first met Changxing Foot Shop. He felt dissatisfied and looked for the town. But the inns in the town were already full, so he had to return. This was reasonable.
Cheng Zongyang nodded, if it makes sense, then how do you plan to find it? Go to Taixue to come and ask one by one to ask?
Luodu has a population of more than one million, and there are 30,000 students from all over the country in the Imperial Academy. The total number of scholars in Luodu is 50,000. It is more difficult to find a scholar from other places than to find a needle in a haystack. It is more like picking out a grain of rice from a pile of Luodu stalk rice.
Lu Jing knocked on the carriage and went to Huai City
Jiang Anshi responded and drove into Guangyang Gate
The scholar hiked to Luodu, and his family must be normal. He carried five zithers at a time. Even if he gave them away, he would not use so much. He would only sell them.
So should we go to Ah, Luodu Jiushi?
Students in Luodu only sell goods in Huai City
Cheng Zongyang took out his own note, Huai City? No Ah?
Lu Jing said: Huai City is not among the nine cities. Every morning, students from all over the country gather in Huai Forest near the Imperial Academy to sell all kinds of items they brought from the county, especially musical instruments and local products. Since scholars brought pianos to sell, the wooden barrel was mostly filled with honey.
Cheng Zongyang argued: Why can’t it be oil? It’s wine?
Which one can exchange for one barrel of honey for five barrels of oil and ten barrels of wine for you to carry?
Cheng Zongyang touched his nose and said: Didn’t you just say that Huai City had just opened? It’s not yet fifteen today.
The scholar didn't make it to the first year of junior high school and had to come and see his luck
An hour later, the carriage drove out of Kaiyang Gate in the south of Luodu City, and came to a secluded road for a while. After the carriage stopped, Cheng Zongyang saw through the thin bamboo curtains of the carriage door and saw a lush forest around him. There was a half-person-high dismount stone on the side of the road, and the carriage was prohibited from entering.
Lu Jing quickly changed into old clothes, her blue cloth shirt, her cuffs were covered with oil, and her two sticky beards on her lips made her look like a vendor walking around the streets.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Fifth brother, your clothes are really cheap. You haven't washed them since they were done, right?
It’s just that I can always change into new clothes. Come on! Lu Jing jumped out of the carriage and walked into the forest.
The forest is full of old locust trees that are over a hundred years old, covering the sky and the sun. Although it is noon, it is not hot. There are not many pedestrians in the forest. However, there are still a few young people who look like scholars to try their luck under the locust. Compared with other markets, the Huai City in Taixue is much quieter. The students spread straw mats under the locust and put their own goods. There are not many items on their stalls, but the goods are not repeated. They are full of local characteristics and play the piano and enjoy themselves. They make a market as elegant as an expo.
The sound of the piano came slowly, and the forest became more and more quiet. Suddenly, a sound suddenly broke the tranquility. It was you! The last time I sold my cinnamon honey, it was actually adulterated!
The students all frowned and looked at the villain
A hawker with oily sleeves grabbed a student's cuff and shouted fiercely: And pay me back the money!
The student was posing two pianos in front of him, and he held his sleeves and raised his eyebrows and said: Absurd! I have never sold Guizhi honey!
Why isn't you? I came here the day before yesterday, and there was a wooden barrel on your mat that day! If you recognize the wrong person, you will decide my eyes!
The student said angrily: What nonsense! Where have I put a wooden barrel?
The Han people are brave and brave, and there are many people who are not incompatible with each other. At least Huaicheng, the students are all right next to them. Although the students are angry, they finally did not take action. These students are quite chivalrous. Seeing the two quarreling, someone said: Let go! You must have recognized the wrong person. I can testify. This guy has never sold Guizhimi.
Students around said: I can also testify that this brother set up a stall here yesterday
The vendor was a little scared first and forced himself to say: You must have colluded to deceive me! That day, he had five pianos and one bucket on the table! How could he admit his mistake?
I, the students of the Imperial College, never speak nonsense! The student who spoke for justice said loudly: Friends! Who knows which junior sold the piano and honey here the day before yesterday?
The students shook their heads one after another, I was not a member of the Imperial College
After a while, someone said in the distance: But is there a wooden barrel on the mat? The day before yesterday, a junior at Yuntai Academy put on a few pianos and a wooden barrel, but the barrel is not honey, but the best dried dates
It is the dried dates used for honey stains! The vendor shouted: Who is his surname? Whose person?
The students in Huai City are doing well and have the status of scholars. They are not afraid of a hawker making trouble. The man immediately said: Yu Fengwen of Shanggu is now studying at Yuntai Academy.
…………………………
Yuntai Academy is not far from Taixue, and it is much smaller in scale. Only a few hundred students. Although the school is a little narrow, the windows are bright and the courtyard is paved with bluestone, there is not even a weed.
Yu Fengwen just exchanged the five seven-stringed zithers and dried dates he had been carrying for money, but he still owed debts, so there was not much left in Luoduju. It was not easy. Just relying on this little money, I was afraid that he would have to borrow again in two months. He touched the jade pendant on his waist, hesitating whether he should exchange it for money.
A heroic scholar stepped in and said with a smile: Brother Fengwen! It’s true that it’s here!
It turned out to be Brother Zheng. Yu Fengwen bowed and bowed to Zheng Ziqing. Zheng Ziqing is from Hejian. Although he had just arrived at Yuntai Academy, he was a heroic person. The two of them fell in love with each other. They had the same meal and the same room when they were sleeping. They felt that they met too late.
I wonder what Brother Zheng is asking for?
Zheng Ziqing smiled and said: It’s not me looking for you, it’s this Mr. Lu
Yu Fengwen looked up and saw that Mr. Lu was over 40 years old and had a very windy face, but his mind was heroic and not an ordinary person.
Mr. Lu bowed and said: I have long admired Mr. Yu’s name. I saw him today and it is indeed worthy of his reputation.
Yu Fengwen quickly returned the greeting and said in surprise: I wonder why sir, why is he?
Mr. Lu laughed and greeted the young man behind him. This is the nephew who heard that Mr. Yu is good at both literary and scientific and talented. Today, he is here to visit him.
Yu Fengwen bowed and said: Brother Lu
Cheng Zongyang thought it was a coincidence that he actually met a scholar named Zheng, and he also bowed his hand. Brother Yu
Before the two started to greet each other, they were interrupted by Mr. Lu. Let’s talk about the old words later. Let’s hide them from Mr. Yu. Although Mr. Lu is doing a gentle business, he has nothing to do with gentle. I have something to say, don’t think that Lao Lu is a rough person.
Teacher's comment
Mr. Lu opened a bookstore and now he has a business... Oh, Mr. Zheng, you can sit there too!
Zheng Ziqing hurriedly said: You talk, Zheng avoids it for a moment.
Where can I avoid it? I will talk to Mr. Yu about some business!
The more Mr. Lu said this, the harder Zheng Ziqing could stay. He accused several people of crime and resigned from the door.
Mr. Lu touched his thigh and said: Mr. Zheng is out now! Mr. Yu, I said Ah, my bookstore has received several books from Song Guoyun, and they are all classics and history-oriented and want to find a few people to help copy. I wonder if Mr. Yu is willing to help? Don't worry! Runbi will never treat Mr.
Yu Fengwen was as happy as falling from the sky and hurriedly said: Nothing can be done
Mr. Lu was very generous and agreed to pay in just a few words, which was twice as much as Yu Fengwen had imagined. Both sides agreed to start copying tomorrow. Mr. Lu solved the urgent problem and was overjoyed. He asked Yu Fengwen to have a drink without saying goodbye. Yu Fengwen refused and had to go out together.
What do you think?
Identity is a fake one. What kind of small business is going on? I took out three hundred gold baht at random, and didn't blink. Did you see it? When he left, he didn't look relieved at all, but he looked worried. I looked at him, he didn't expect you to find those people at all. Maybe he made up stories from beginning to end, and those people didn't exist at all.
Jin Zhu, but it was true, Lu Jing picked up a Jin Zhu and weighed it, and said: Ying Yang Hou is not a joke.
who?
Although the man changed into cloth clothes, he had no time to change his shoes. The tip of the shoe had a torn thread, and the broken marks were still fresh. Obviously, there was a pearl embedded on it. There was a callus on the middle finger of his right hand. It was a trace left by common use of swords and pens. Generally, scholars cannot afford to wear pearls. Those who can afford to wear pearls rarely use swords and pens to wear pearls and pens, and only the guests or slaves of powerful families are the only ones who are the powerful and powerful families.
Then how do you know it is the Marquis of Yingyang? There are at least dozens of princes in Luodu?
You remember him saying, "Don't doubt people, use people...", Lu Jing paused for a moment, and then said: Isn't it a bit weird?
Cheng Zongyang recalled, and it was a bit strange, "I don't need to doubt people, but I don't doubt people." He couldn't even say such easy words.
It’s not that I can’t say it, it’s because I avoid taboo. Lu Jing said: The name of the Marquis of Yingyang, Lu Buyi
Cheng Zongyang is not unfamiliar with taboos, and he also knows that the Han Dynasty attaches great importance to taboos, especially under normal circumstances, nouns similar to the names of emperors all need to be changed. For example, Chang'e in the Moon Palace was originally named hénge, and Lu Buwei's prime minister was originally a prime minister. Jingzhe in the twenty-four solar terms was originally Qizhe, and some of them can be changed because of the names of the emperors. For example, Wang Zhaojun, in order to avoid Sima Zhao's name, he changed it to Wang Mingjun. Therefore, all poems about her are called Mingfei Song. At least her real name is still there, but there is an additional alias and Cai Wenji who is also avoiding taboos. Few people remember that her real name is Cai Zhaoji.
Below the emperor, children face their parents, and guests face their masters, and the former also need to avoid the former, such as Li He, whose father is named Jin, and even the Jinshi exam was criticized by the world, and even after being depressed, Du Fu was still depressed. It is said that the mother of the poet saint's mother was Haitang, so the most famous example of the latter is Feng Dao. His disciple read Laozi, Tao can be said, it is very Tao. In one sentence, it is read: Can't say it, can't say it, can't say it, can't say it, can't say it, can't say it
The middle-aged man surnamed Tang hesitated about the word "No doubt" obviously out of taboo. Lu Jing was able to find the name of the victim from it, which was also keen and unprocessed. Zong Yang cared about another thing. He frowned and said: People from the Lu family?
Yes, Lu Jingdao: The Lu family's generation is a waste, but this Yingyang Hou is known as a scholar, known as a polite and a gentleman.
Lu Jingyu was ridiculed and looked down upon Lu Buyi, but this was Lu Wu Ge's family tradition. Even if he brought Confucius to him, he still rolled his eyes. Lu Buyi was not a gentleman.
Cheng Zongyang said: Could it be that Hou Yingyang really met some paranoid?
Lu Jing bounced his fingers, who knows?
Cheng Zongyang suddenly had an idea, could it be that Yan Junping, the paradise who could make a king and a prince care about?
Lu Jing said: Why do you say this?
There is no reason. Cheng Zongyang said frankly: I just think this is quite strange. With the identity of the Marquis of Yingyang, Lu Buyi, there are not many paranormal experts who can be valued by him. In the entire Han Dynasty, most of such experts are famous figures. If you want to investigate, it is not difficult for Yingyang to meet the master who is difficult to find. It is very likely that which famous figure was hidden in the name of Yan Junping. Will he hide in the inn?
Lu Jing did not comment. In order to find Yan Junping's whereabouts, he and Simingxin almost read Luo. If someone sat in the house, they would send clues, the probability would be smaller than the pie falling from the sky.
Cheng Zongyang said: Fifth brother, are you going to accept this business?
Why not take it? Lu Jingdao: Finding a brother in the 500 Jinzhu camp costs one month, which is enough for me to raise a 500 Jinzhu camp.
There is a lot of money, but there is no clue at all. How to find it?
How do I know? Lu Jing rolled his eyes and said: Go to bed quickly and go out with me early tomorrow!
…………………………
Luodu is surrounded by majestic passes, the most famous of which are Hangu, Hulao, Yique and Luyuan. The four majestic passes are located between Luodu and Hangu Pass, more than 30 miles away from the capital. It is a must-pass place for Luodu to travel west and the first destination for travel west. Therefore, although the city is not large, it is quite prosperous. There are more than ten inns alone.
At dawn, before the door of Ping'an Inn opened, a brutal sound of the door was heard, opening the door! The official investigated the case! Hurry up!
The shop owner came out in a hurry. As soon as he removed the door latch, the door was kicked open. The shop owner staggered and almost fell down.
A man rushed in. He had a big beard and was wearing a greasy soap suit. The corners of his clothes were tucked to his waist, and his legs were covered with dust.
When the shop owner saw his posture, he immediately became three points shorter. What the people in the country feared the most was not the county magistrate, but the kind of subordinates. They colluded with each other, taking both black and white, and they could destroy their family in one sentence, and this person's dress was obviously the golf in the countryside. Although the golf is a minor official who prohibits thieves, the shop owner knew that some golf is more cruel than thieves.
The Youzi seemed to have his eyes on his head, and he looked up at him without looking at him, shouting: The sky is blue and the sun is blue, and the door is not even opened! Could it be that he was doing something evil!
Don't dare! Don't dare! The owner quickly said a lot of flattery words
Youzi pushed him impatiently, I heard that your store was on fire?
If someone else asked this, the owner spat and your house caught fire! But when the old man spoke, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he put his heart back in his stomach, and quickly said: "You are the one who caught the fire, you are the Changxing Foot Shop outside the town."
You Dayan said: Isn’t it here?
Is it like I'm overdoing this place? The owner accompanied me and said carefully: No, no
The Youzi refused to leave, but instead rolled his eyes and said: When did it catch fire?
The owner quickly said: The day before yesterday, the weather was dry and the fire broke out in the middle of the night. When he heard the noise, the house had burned through. None of the old man Sun's family, the young and old, ran out.
You snorted, I heard that some enemies in the foot shop were taken revenge by someone. There was no such thing as this! The owner said: Old man Sun from the foot shop, everyone in the town knows that he is the most honest and loyal and never makes grudges with others.
You rolled your eyes, didn’t you burn it?
The owner's legs became weak and almost knelt down, squirting people with blood! This thief came to the door and blackmailed him. If he couldn't satisfy him, he would have to peel off his skin even if he didn't die. The owner quickly took out a few silver baht and stuffed it into You Zi's hand, and whispered: "You guys can drink some wine and drink the fire in the store really has nothing to do with the villain."
You weighed the amount of money, then took it into your arms and said carelessly: If you are not you, the official asked you a few words, but you heard carefully
The owner secretly wiped his sweat, yes
You Zi asked a few casual questions, but it was just that he had seen some strange people in the past few days. Is there any abnormality in the town? You Zi answered one by one with one ear and came out, and didn't take it seriously. Finally, he said: Where is the foot shop?
The shop owner quickly pointed to the location and sent the mess out like a plague god.
You strode out of the alley, turned around, took off your beard, took off your wardrobe, exposed a worn-out jacket, and then wiped your palms on your face. When it fell, the fierce expression just now disappeared, becoming pale and thin, with a sad face, like a haggard young man running for food and clothing.
It was still early, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. He looked around in a daze, then hesitated to a stall, cringed and clasped his fists, and said softly: I dare to ask my elder sister, I wonder how far is the Changxing Foot Shop in the town?
The woman who was pancakes in the stall stopped, Changxing Foot Shop? What are you looking for to do?
The young man showed a hint of ashamed. My son returned to his hometown a few days ago and hired a porter to carry furniture. Until now, no one has come. The porter was hired by the young man, so the matter fell on the young man's head and heard that they were staying in Changxing Foot Shop. The young man came to look for it, was there something wrong with it?
The woman said sympathetically: This... I'm afraid it's hard to find a siege, Changxing Foot Shop is there
The young man bowed with his fists, thank you sister, and hurried there after saying that
Wait, the woman called him, take this pancake
The young man waved his hands repeatedly, no need, I have money...
Take it and the woman speaks quickly. Look at you for a few days, you always feel more relaxed. There are only some furniture around you, so where is the life?
Cheng Zongyang looked at him with admiration, "Haah, Fifth Brother, you're so rich... Oh, and Zhang Bing is not guilty or not?"
Don't eat it
Don't get up in the middle of the night, I haven't eaten yet, give me half
Lu Jing said last night that he went out early, which was not ordinary early. Cheng Zongyang was dragged up by him just after sleeping until midnight. The two of them climbed over the wall and found out outside the Luodu gate. Jiang Anshi had prepared a carriage and rushed up to Tang overnight.
Cheng Zongyang tore open the pancakes and said while eating: Can’t you just ask if you have something to do? Why do you go around such a big circle?
Just ask, will others say it?
Why not say it?
The five fingers are not the same. You will say that others may not say that it is a big deal of extinguishing the door due to fire. What if there is a risk behind it? It is normal for humans to seek profit and avoid harm.
Isn't it enough to spend some money? Cheng Zongyang said: What we lack now is time, and we don't lack this little money. If we ask this, it will take two days, and spend one day to spend.
The news that you buy money is the most unreliable. Lu Jing said: If you buy news in one day, you will probably take five days to tell the truth or falsehood. What’s more important is that if you spend money to buy news, you will only make people suspicious and let you be a killer. You are afraid that the first business will be your life in it.
Cheng Zongyang touched his chin and said: It seems to make some sense...Fifth brother, please teach me a few more tricks.
Lu Jing did not hide his own personal feelings. He wanted to talk from others, but there were only four tricks: threaten him with power, seduce him with benefits, move him with emotion, and explain him with reason and threaten him with temptation. It is a matter of not being able to use it lightly. When using it, you must first look at people. People in the Han Dynasty are brave and powerful, and they cannot be defeated. Some people are rashly pushing each other, which will only make mistakes.
For example, the shop owner just now has a family and a job, and is doing a business of welcoming and sending off, and will not easily make enemies with others. In this way, the county magistrate is worse than to take charge. I pretended to be a wanderer, walked in and yelled hard, and saw the shop owner's majesty of fear of the stewardship, and then got five points. But if you just use force at this time, you will only lose your temper. Therefore, I let the wind and say that it was to investigate the case next to you and hear that the matter was not yours. The shop owner lost his guard, and then I was scared a little. The shop owner stuffed money over and knew that he was already despaired. This was the only thing he could do was to say.
Cheng Zongyang was very impressed. Just a question is so much knowledge. Lu Wu Ge’s family of giant gangs is really not in vain.
What did the shop owner say?
He said that when the 9th day of the lunar calendar, he saw a car passing by and he didn't see who it was, but he saw a flag on the car.
Cheng Zongyang was excited, what font is on the flag?
The owner is illiterate
Cheng Zongyang was depressed. Except for Song State, the Six Dynasties, the literacy rate of other countries was 10% burning high incense.
Lu Jing paused for a moment...but he remembered that there were two square boxes on the flag, one big and one small
Back? No! Lü! Cheng Zongyang immediately reacted
The small one is on top, the big one is on the bottom, and there is a small tail in the middle
Although it is a clue that cannot be simple, it is a crucial link in the puzzle of the entire incident. It seems that Brother Lu Wu guessed it wrong, and that Yingyang Hou’s disciple did not lie. On the night of the ninth day of the lunar month, Yingyang Hou Lu Buyi did indeed pass by Shangtang.
It was already an unexpected surprise to be able to get this clue from the uninformed shop owner. Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: For the woman who sells cakes, the fifth brother is just to touch her with emotion.
Compassion is a kind of sister-in-law, you can use it to coerce and induce it, and it is useless to move it with emotion. It is the best way to prescribe the right medicine, and these two people are not chosen casually. Lu Jing said: The owner's inn is at the entrance of the alley, and the carriages and pedestrians have to pass by the door. The cake seller also asked these two places, and the clues of soup were found.
I see that you didn’t talk to your sister-in-law for a long time, did you find out clearly after a few words?
Lu Jing said: What's the hurry? It's not time to ask
While they were talking, they walked outside the town and walked around the woods. They saw a dark fire scene from afar.
The entire inn was burned to white ground, and it can only be seen that the location of the inn is quite far from the town, close to the main road, and there is no trace of the original house, and the yard is covered with ashes.
Although two days later, the fire was still filled with a choking stench, which made Cheng Zongyang cover his nose and Lu Jing ignored it. He walked around the fire, squatted down from time to time to check, picked up a burnt stone or a few pieces of broken tiles and glanced at it.
The body had been collected and the other things were burned out, and there was no valuable clue. Lu Jing clapped his hands and pointed to the fire and said: The gate is on the north side, along the road is adobe wall, on the east side is a cafe, on the west side are two shops, and on the south side are upper rooms, but not only the residents are
Not just living in it? What else?
Lu Jing pulled out an upside down cup from the ashes and uncovered it. There were several white-burned bone dice inside. After a little pinch, it turned into pieces.
casino?
Just a pastime. Lu Jing clapped his hands. Most of the people staying in the foot shop are poor. If it weren't for the main road here, Yingyang Hou might not have passed by.
Cheng Zongyang pointed to the most pungent piece in the corner. What is that? It smells so bad.
Wash the toilet
Toilet? Why is there a pile of black things in the toilet, just like burnt meat?
That's a pig
There is something strange! Cheng Zongyang shouted: Why did the pig run into the toilet?
Lu Jing rolled his eyes, there was a pig inside the word "王"
The pigpen and the toilet are together? I'll do it!
The cesspool and the burned pigs are no wonder this place smells terrible
Lu Jing scoffed at his shock, it was rare and strange.
Cheng Zongyang finally recovered and covered his nose and said: I don’t know anything about it. I only know the ninth day of the eighth month and Changxing Foot Shop. Now that the shops are burned out, how can I find it? It’s impossible to complete Ah
Lu Jing said: It's time
when?
Question
…………………………
The young man came back in dismay, his face blue and yellow
The woman who was pancake couldn't help but say: Have you found it?
The young man shook his head, staggered away, suddenly stopped, and whispered: Do you dare to ask my sister, are there any customers in the foot shop a few days ago?
Old Man Sun's foot shop is far away from the town and is still separated by the woods. Usually, people can't see it in and out of the town.
Who usually lives in the foot shop?
Then we can't say it. The woman said: Old man Sun has a weird temper and doesn't interact with people in the town on weekdays. Otherwise, how could he build a foot shop outside the town alone? Speaking of which, although his temper is strange, he is not bad. He didn't expect to encounter such a disaster... The woman talked for a while, and saw that his expression became more and more dismal, she couldn't help but sigh. When did it happen?
The eighth day of the lunar month... It was noon, it was the night of the lunar month. The young man said: It was already noon when the porters left, and it was mostly midnight when they arrived in town.
The woman thought for a while. That night, our dog ran out to play. The food was cold and it had not come back yet. I asked his father to go find him. His father refused. I even had a fight with his father. I came out to find the dog. It seemed that I saw someone leaving the town and going to Old Man Sun's shop...
The young man hurriedly said: Are you an old man?
The woman shook her head, it wasn't a scholar, I saw him looking for several inns, all of which were full of people, so I had to turn back.
Do you remember what he looks like?
It's dark, how can I see clearly? I carved five zithers and a wooden barrel, which was strange.
…………………………
The carriage was bumpy all the way back to Luodu Cheng Zongyang and said: There is another possibility, what if the scholar left Luodu? Now maybe he has already left the Han Kingdom.
Lu Jing said: The scholar looked for several inns along the way, and then returned to Changxing Foot Shop at the westernmost end of Shangtang. If he came out of Luodu, if he asked from east to west, there was no need to return. Therefore, he would only go from west to east and towards Luodu. He first met Changxing Foot Shop. He felt dissatisfied and looked for the town. But the inns in the town were already full, so he had to return. This was reasonable.
Cheng Zongyang nodded, if it makes sense, then how do you plan to find it? Go to Taixue to come and ask one by one to ask?
Luodu has a population of more than one million, and there are 30,000 students from all over the country in the Imperial Academy. The total number of scholars in Luodu is 50,000. It is more difficult to find a scholar from other places than to find a needle in a haystack. It is more like picking out a grain of rice from a pile of Luodu stalk rice.
Lu Jing knocked on the carriage and went to Huai City
Jiang Anshi responded and drove into Guangyang Gate
The scholar hiked to Luodu, and his family must be normal. He carried five zithers at a time. Even if he gave them away, he would not use so much. He would only sell them.
So should we go to Ah, Luodu Jiushi?
Students in Luodu only sell goods in Huai City
Cheng Zongyang took out his own note, Huai City? No Ah?
Lu Jing said: Huai City is not among the nine cities. Every morning, students from all over the country gather in Huai Forest near the Imperial Academy to sell all kinds of items they brought from the county, especially musical instruments and local products. Since scholars brought pianos to sell, the wooden barrel was mostly filled with honey.
Cheng Zongyang argued: Why can’t it be oil? It’s wine?
Which one can exchange for one barrel of honey for five barrels of oil and ten barrels of wine for you to carry?
Cheng Zongyang touched his nose and said: Didn’t you just say that Huai City had just opened? It’s not yet fifteen today.
The scholar didn't make it to the first year of junior high school and had to come and see his luck
An hour later, the carriage drove out of Kaiyang Gate in the south of Luodu City, and came to a secluded road for a while. After the carriage stopped, Cheng Zongyang saw through the thin bamboo curtains of the carriage door and saw a lush forest around him. There was a half-person-high dismount stone on the side of the road, and the carriage was prohibited from entering.
Lu Jing quickly changed into old clothes, her blue cloth shirt, her cuffs were covered with oil, and her two sticky beards on her lips made her look like a vendor walking around the streets.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Fifth brother, your clothes are really cheap. You haven't washed them since they were done, right?
It’s just that I can always change into new clothes. Come on! Lu Jing jumped out of the carriage and walked into the forest.
The forest is full of old locust trees that are over a hundred years old, covering the sky and the sun. Although it is noon, it is not hot. There are not many pedestrians in the forest. However, there are still a few young people who look like scholars to try their luck under the locust. Compared with other markets, the Huai City in Taixue is much quieter. The students spread straw mats under the locust and put their own goods. There are not many items on their stalls, but the goods are not repeated. They are full of local characteristics and play the piano and enjoy themselves. They make a market as elegant as an expo.
The sound of the piano came slowly, and the forest became more and more quiet. Suddenly, a sound suddenly broke the tranquility. It was you! The last time I sold my cinnamon honey, it was actually adulterated!
The students all frowned and looked at the villain
A hawker with oily sleeves grabbed a student's cuff and shouted fiercely: And pay me back the money!
The student was posing two pianos in front of him, and he held his sleeves and raised his eyebrows and said: Absurd! I have never sold Guizhi honey!
Why isn't you? I came here the day before yesterday, and there was a wooden barrel on your mat that day! If you recognize the wrong person, you will decide my eyes!
The student said angrily: What nonsense! Where have I put a wooden barrel?
The Han people are brave and brave, and there are many people who are not incompatible with each other. At least Huaicheng, the students are all right next to them. Although the students are angry, they finally did not take action. These students are quite chivalrous. Seeing the two quarreling, someone said: Let go! You must have recognized the wrong person. I can testify. This guy has never sold Guizhimi.
Students around said: I can also testify that this brother set up a stall here yesterday
The vendor was a little scared first and forced himself to say: You must have colluded to deceive me! That day, he had five pianos and one bucket on the table! How could he admit his mistake?
I, the students of the Imperial College, never speak nonsense! The student who spoke for justice said loudly: Friends! Who knows which junior sold the piano and honey here the day before yesterday?
The students shook their heads one after another, I was not a member of the Imperial College
After a while, someone said in the distance: But is there a wooden barrel on the mat? The day before yesterday, a junior at Yuntai Academy put on a few pianos and a wooden barrel, but the barrel is not honey, but the best dried dates
It is the dried dates used for honey stains! The vendor shouted: Who is his surname? Whose person?
The students in Huai City are doing well and have the status of scholars. They are not afraid of a hawker making trouble. The man immediately said: Yu Fengwen of Shanggu is now studying at Yuntai Academy.
…………………………
Yuntai Academy is not far from Taixue, and it is much smaller in scale. Only a few hundred students. Although the school is a little narrow, the windows are bright and the courtyard is paved with bluestone, there is not even a weed.
Yu Fengwen just exchanged the five seven-stringed zithers and dried dates he had been carrying for money, but he still owed debts, so there was not much left in Luoduju. It was not easy. Just relying on this little money, I was afraid that he would have to borrow again in two months. He touched the jade pendant on his waist, hesitating whether he should exchange it for money.
A heroic scholar stepped in and said with a smile: Brother Fengwen! It’s true that it’s here!
It turned out to be Brother Zheng. Yu Fengwen bowed and bowed to Zheng Ziqing. Zheng Ziqing is from Hejian. Although he had just arrived at Yuntai Academy, he was a heroic person. The two of them fell in love with each other. They had the same meal and the same room when they were sleeping. They felt that they met too late.
I wonder what Brother Zheng is asking for?
Zheng Ziqing smiled and said: It’s not me looking for you, it’s this Mr. Lu
Yu Fengwen looked up and saw that Mr. Lu was over 40 years old and had a very windy face, but his mind was heroic and not an ordinary person.
Mr. Lu bowed and said: I have long admired Mr. Yu’s name. I saw him today and it is indeed worthy of his reputation.
Yu Fengwen quickly returned the greeting and said in surprise: I wonder why sir, why is he?
Mr. Lu laughed and greeted the young man behind him. This is the nephew who heard that Mr. Yu is good at both literary and scientific and talented. Today, he is here to visit him.
Yu Fengwen bowed and said: Brother Lu
Cheng Zongyang thought it was a coincidence that he actually met a scholar named Zheng, and he also bowed his hand. Brother Yu
Before the two started to greet each other, they were interrupted by Mr. Lu. Let’s talk about the old words later. Let’s hide them from Mr. Yu. Although Mr. Lu is doing a gentle business, he has nothing to do with gentle. I have something to say, don’t think that Lao Lu is a rough person.
Teacher's comment
Mr. Lu opened a bookstore and now he has a business... Oh, Mr. Zheng, you can sit there too!
Zheng Ziqing hurriedly said: You talk, Zheng avoids it for a moment.
Where can I avoid it? I will talk to Mr. Yu about some business!
The more Mr. Lu said this, the harder Zheng Ziqing could stay. He accused several people of crime and resigned from the door.
Mr. Lu touched his thigh and said: Mr. Zheng is out now! Mr. Yu, I said Ah, my bookstore has received several books from Song Guoyun, and they are all classics and history-oriented and want to find a few people to help copy. I wonder if Mr. Yu is willing to help? Don't worry! Runbi will never treat Mr.
Yu Fengwen was as happy as falling from the sky and hurriedly said: Nothing can be done
Mr. Lu was very generous and agreed to pay in just a few words, which was twice as much as Yu Fengwen had imagined. Both sides agreed to start copying tomorrow. Mr. Lu solved the urgent problem and was overjoyed. He asked Yu Fengwen to have a drink without saying goodbye. Yu Fengwen refused and had to go out together.
