Chapter 118: Crazy Hermit

Views:

After eating the blood ganoderma one by one, Yun Yifeng's body also got better day by day. No longer needing the support of others, he can also drag his weak steps and wander around the mountains and plains. He also knows to sneak away from the generals to avoid being sued. Every time the medicine is boiled, but there is no one to find a shadow, His Royal Highness Xiao Wang has a headache, and finally figured out a reason from it - put it by his side and watch it, and it is so worrying, if you really send it Go back to Wangcheng, send back to Fengyumen, I'm afraid I won't know where to go in the blink of an eye.

Yun Yifeng argued: "I haven't been able to use my brain very well recently, it's true." So after I walked out the door, it took me a long time to remember it.

Ji Yanran washed his hands for him: "I know, just remember to eat, not to take medicine."

Yun Yifeng: "..." How can you say that, I really can't remember things. For this reason, I asked Senior Mei a few times specifically, for fear that although I was cured of the poison, I would forget about my sweetheart, and in the future, lovers would meet each other and not know each other, and everyone would cry.

Mei Zhusong persuaded him eighteen times in a row, but he couldn't do it. Then he asked in bewilderment, where did the sect master hear such absurd things

Yun Yifeng had a correct attitude, and replied, "It's written like this in the little story books."

Plum Bamboo Song: "..."

Mei Zhusong earnestly said: "Street talk is only about romance and novelty. Master Yunmen's poison is in his heart, but not in his brain. How could he lose his memory, and only forget His Royal Highness Xiao Wang? I don't remember anything recently, but I have been ill for too long. , the body has not recovered yet, it will gradually recover in the future, it is better to go back and rest quickly." Don't bother me again.

Yun Yifeng was pushed out of the door forcibly by the doctor, thinking, hi.

He originally wanted to pretend to have amnesia and tease Ji Yanran, but seeing that he seems to be very busy recently, he put away his unreasonable thoughts and asked him: "What did the prince and Jiang Wuye talk about in the afternoon?"

"About the Guqin in Yaleju." Ji Yanran said, "Jiangnan Zhen claimed to have bought many pianos one after another over the years, but it was just a small hobby to pass the time. If they are rare, they will pay money, or if they are flattered and fooled by the owner of the piano shop, they will take seven or eight pieces home in one breath. Go back to Jiang's house."

Yun Yifeng wondered: "Oh?"

"At that time, General Lu led his troops out to sea from the East Gorge to fight against bandits. Perhaps Jiangnan Dou was trying to win over the imperial court, or perhaps he had a heroic heart. In short, he had donated a lot of food, grass, wound medicine, and cotton clothes to the soldiers, and even spent money to build war chests. There were fifty boats, so after the victory in the battle, General Lu personally went to Jiang's family to thank him, and Jiangnan Zhen was also there at that time."

Yun Yifeng asked: "So General Lu has friendship with the Jiang family? Did they still have contact afterwards?"

"Jiangnan Zhen said he didn't know, and I'm afraid he will have to ask Jiangnan Dou to find out." Ji Yanran said, "But with Jiangnan Dou's current situation, I don't know if he can wake up. I heard that the Jiang family sent people to the Lost Isle early in the morning. Ask the ghost to sting, but for some reason, there is no reply."

"It's probably because something big happened on Lost Island." Yun Yifeng stretched his muscles and said casually, "I thought about it before, otherwise Ghost Thorn wouldn't even ignore me. Kidnapped and killed, maybe."

Ji Yanran was unwilling to let Ghost Assassin just die like this. The inhuman torture Yun Yifeng has suffered for more than 20 years has not settled with the culprit. I didn't want my sweetheart to hear these bad things anymore, so I didn't continue to elaborate with Yun Yifeng, and only told my cronies in the evening, ordering him to send someone to the Wandering Isle immediately to see what happened there.

The days in the canyon passed neither fast nor slow. Unhappiness is because there are still a lot of bad things outside, and it is inevitable to worry when thinking about it. It's not slow because the Gu poison in Yun Yifeng's body has been detoxified, and there is no need to worry about the pain of the poison anymore. There will be countless Jiangnan and good times in the future. Naturally, it will be pleasant no matter how you think about it, and even the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood are no longer scary. The day before leaving, Yun Yifeng looked at the setting sun above the canyon and asked, "Is Master Yuan Jie still unwilling to say anything about the secrets of the old Hibiscus Town?"

"Father ordered him to keep his mouth shut, and I can't force him to ask." Ji Yanran said, "However, he mentioned that in the past few decades, he has only sent troops to guard him, and has never descended into the deep canyon, so he doesn't know what is hidden inside. Blood Ganoderma lucidum, I didn’t intend to deceive you.” However, the disciples of the imperial court and Fengyumen, or the people sent by Ghost Thorn to search for the medicine, often only searched in the Xiangchu City area, and the old Mujin Town on the map has been completely erased and replaced. It is a vast and barren mountain without any markings. It has been locked up by the government for decades. Even the local people have almost forgotten such a remote place, so it is no wonder that nothing has been found.

Regarding the past between General Lu and the old Mujin Town, I am afraid that I have to go back to Wangcheng and ask the emperor before deciding whether to continue to investigate. It is not in a hurry. And the first thing to do now is to go to Jinfeng City to see what happened to the unlucky magistrate Xu Yu and the leader of the Qianqiu Gang Qiongqian.

Feishuangjiao and Cuihua waited at the entrance of the canyon early in the morning, one white and one black, fat and strong, the soldiers of the beam were all moved, look, even the horses of the prince and the master of the Yunmen looked very compatible and loving, A perfect match, a perfect match.

Just as he was talking, Cuihua rubbed Feishuangjiao for some reason, and the fierce white horse snorted dissatisfiedly, and made a fierce look, which made Moyu's big horse spread its hooves and ran to the plum bamboo pine After death, he refused to come out again.

Soldiers: "..."

But it doesn't matter, Ji Yanran originally didn't intend to let Yun Yifeng ride the horse alone, he wrapped him carefully in a thin cloak, and it was not enough to hold him in his arms, and the speed of walking was also quite slow, he only took two steps to rest for half an hour, drifting When it rains, I have to find a shop to rest my feet, and I don’t leave when the sun is high, because it will be hot.

The officers and soldiers of the near army have no objection to this kind of "rush" method that can trample ants to death, and Jiang Nanzhen is also quite considerate. The only people who have suffered are probably Xu Yu and Qiongqian—the entire golden palace. Fengcheng was completely surrounded by the army, and as for the government and the Qianqiu Gang, even half a mosquito could not fly in, and there was no way to ask for help. Living in this oppressive atmosphere all day long was worse than being dead.

And when His Royal Highness Xiao Wang and his party finally arrived at Jinfeng City, Xu Yu had already become ill due to excessive worry, described as haggard and insane, and was dragged to Ji Yanran like a dead dog all the way, even the interrogation process was omitted, only one Seeing the stack of ledgers, he kowtowed and pleaded guilty, confessing his collusion with Qiongqian and enriching his own pockets for many years, and he only wanted to keep the whole body.

Ji Yanran asked: "Tell me about the assassination of the king that day, who gave you the courage?"

"Yes... it's a masked man, he can't see his face clearly, and his skills are extremely high." Xu Yu described everything that happened that day, from the other party's claim that he had a blood feud with Jiang Nanzhen, to the few pages torn from the ledger. Confessed one by one, and said sadly, "At that time, the masked man only said that Jiangnan Zhen would pass by Yu'er Canyon and lured me to join hands with Qiong Qian to lay a trap to kill him, but he never mentioned that the prince would also go with him."

Those pages of accounts had been burned by Xu Yu, but he probably remembered what was written on them, so it was easy to find the missing parts from the account books in Ji Yanran's hands, and there were indeed traces of tearing.

The evidence was conclusive, and Xu Qiong was thrown into prison that day. The local affairs are temporarily handed over to the commander of the garrison. In addition, the Qianqiu Gang has been collaborating with Xu Yu for many years to secretly provide him with many conveniences, and many people have been implicated. We still need to investigate carefully—the rest is the matter of the new officials. Yes, it will probably take at least half a year. But no matter what, this gang that once ruled the wind and rain in Jinfeng City has been completely hurt since then, and it will never make a comeback.

Jiang Nan Zhen was overjoyed: "My lord really acted resolutely and made decisions for the people."

Ji Yanran didn't have the slightest interest in his flattery, she just picked up the pot and poured tea: "Jiang Wuye, sit down."

"My lord, do you have something to ask?"

Ji Yanran said: "Those ledgers, according to Xu Yu's confession, have always been hidden in the secret compartment of the agency. It can be said to be very secretive. How did Jiang Wuye get it?"

Jiang Nanzhen was also frank: "At first I didn't want to touch the government, but when I was investigating Qiongqian, I followed the clues and pulled out Xu Yu. So I sent people to follow up, and it took a lot of effort to find these books and find out. The crime of embezzlement of the treasury by the two of them together, and they happen to know the whereabouts of the blood ganoderma, so they naturally hope to cooperate with the prince."

"So the disciples of the Jiang family found the ledger?" Ji Yanran asked again.

Jiang Nanzhen sensed the abnormality, and tried: "Why, the prince has doubts?"

"A few pages of the account book were torn out." Ji Yanran said, "Someone took the torn pages of the account book and came to Xu Yu to negotiate terms, saying that he had a deep hatred with Jiang Wuye, and tricked him into going to Qiongqian, and together they were in Yu'er. There is a rolling stone formation in the canyon. The king's question is, if the disciples of the Jiang family found the account book from the dark room, then when were these pages torn off?"

Sweat broke out on Jiang Nanzhen's forehead: "This..."

"Speaking of which, Fifth Lord Jiang is Yun'er's lifesaver, so I should be grateful." Ji Yanran said coldly, "But that day, the rolling stone formation in the Yu'er Canyon injured dozens of soldiers, and Yun'er was also frightened. This is a big deal, and I almost couldn't make it through, this king will naturally have to settle the account slowly with the mastermind behind the scenes, if Jiang Wuye has nothing to do with the masked man, we should make it clear as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated in the future."

Jiang Nanzhen was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Forgive me, my lord. I really have some relationship with that masked man. To be honest, he actually gave me the account book."

According to Jiang Nanzhen, the other party is a hermit in the rivers and lakes. The two met because of the piano, and they admire each other quite a lot. They can be regarded as close confidants.

"He knew that I wanted to seize the head of the Jiang family, and that the collusion between Ling Si and head Li was a great threat, so he said he had a way to disintegrate the alliance they had carefully drawn up, and then handed over to My account books." Jiang Nanzhen showed shame, "Perhaps he was worried that I would not be able to convince the prince, so he tore up a few pages of accounts in advance to incite Xu Yu to become an enemy of the prince. Fortunately, the master of Yunmen is fine. The injury is no longer serious, please let the prince look at me and let him go."

Ji Yanran raised her eyebrows: "This hermit really did his best to help Wu Ye win the position of head. Murdering the royal family is a capital crime. This kind of love... What's his name?"

Jiang Nanzhen replied: "I don't have a name. I call myself Qin Chi, so I'll call him Brother Qin."

"Qin idiot, anyway, for Jiang Wuye's sake, I let him go this time." Ji Yanran said, "It just so happens that Yun'er also caresses the qin, and if there is a chance in the future, maybe we can let the two of them compete together. fan."

Yun Yifeng happened to push the door open and came in, curiously asked: "What are you competing for?"

Ji Yanran replied: "Qin skills."

Master Yunmen was elated: "With whom? I'm ready."

Jiang Nanzhen: "..."

"I'm afraid it won't work recently, you have to take good care of yourself." Ji Yanran handed him a cup of warm tea, and after drinking it, he took people out for dinner. Before leaving, I turned around and reminded: "Rolling Stone has no eyes, that Mr. Qin idiot is willing to commit a capital crime to help seize the position of leader, why is he not concerned about Jiang Wuye's life, and he is not afraid of hurting his own people?" , remember to persuade him next time we meet, don’t take such risks again.”

Jiang Nanzhen replied in a low voice: "Your Highness is right. I will definitely reprimand him and promise not to do it again."

The weather outside is fine.

Yun Yifeng was shaking a folding fan that he found from nowhere. He looked handsome and suave. He was still thinking about the Qin Chi who was mentioned just now, and asked, who is that

"You are the master of Fengyumen, but you ask me who is that?"

The master of Fengyumen was questioned. To be reasonable, there are so many people who love the piano in the Jianghu, and they can all call themselves "qin crazy". How would I know which one you are talking about

Ji Yanran smiled, and roughly told him what Cai Jiangnan Zhen said just now.

Yun Yifeng frowned: "Is there really such a crazy person in the world, who would be so reckless, just to help Jiangnan Zhen fight for the head?"

"Perhaps it's because the world is so big, there are many surprises, at least judging from the situation in front of us, Jiangnan Zhen is indeed the biggest beneficiary regardless of corruption." Ji Yanran fixed his hair for him, "Go, don't talk about these things Alright, I'll take you to dinner first."

Yun Yifeng took the opportunity to make a request: "Go to the piano shop again."

Ji Yanran didn't change her face: "No, you are still sick, playing the piano will give you a headache."

Yun Yifeng wondered: "Really?"

"real."

You play the piano, I have a headache.

True.
