The female swordsman's beautiful eyes flashed with stars, but she said indifferently: "No. We only have the Book of Feihong to express our thoughts and love to each other. Do I want to show this to you?"
"You misunderstood." Qin Mubai said, "I suspect that Zhu Chengwen had secretly kept an important account book during his lifetime, which recorded the income and expenditure of many money and items, including some corrupt officials. The murderer, It is very likely that he is among those people. Therefore, if you want to find out the murderer, you might as well give it to me."
"No." The female swordsman spat out two words and said calmly, "If there was, do I still need to stay here? I must have gone directly to find someone to take revenge."
"Okay then!" Qin Mubai nodded and said, "You injured two of my subordinates today, but I won't argue with you. Just take care of yourself and let's say goodbye. If you have any clues, you can come to The Fubing Juntun of Jishan County in Jiangzhou came to me and they will let you in if you tell me your name - Qin Mubai."
Nvjiange was slightly moved when she heard this: "You said, your name is Qin Mubai?"
"Does the girl know you?" Qin Mubai said a little surprised.
"We just met." The female swordsman looked Qin Mubai up and down with her beautiful eyes, then immediately turned her head and said calmly, "I have seen your name in letters with my husband, and said that you are a first-class romantic in Chang'an. He is a famous figure in front of the emperor. My husband loves calligraphy and folk arts, and is very interested in the pipa skills that are popular in Chang'an, so he mentioned you and said that you are the current "grand master". If I have the opportunity to go to Chang'an, I would like to go. Farewell. I didn’t expect to see you here today, and you came to pay homage to my husband. He Ruoquanxiayouzhi..."
Qin Mubai nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Did your husband mention 'Liao Lirong' in his correspondence with you?"
After hearing this, Nujiange's delicate body froze, and she turned around to look at Qin Mubai: "Yes! He is my husband's colleague and subordinate, and he is also his only close friend in Jishan. They both came from a poor background and were both famous. After passing the examination, he went to Jishan County to serve as an official at the same time. In addition, he was also an official in the same yamen, so he got along very well with each other in the morning and evening, just like biological brothers. I mentioned him once and said that even though he was in a foreign land, he still had relatives and brothers. During the Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival, Liao Lirong would send gifts to his family’s children, and he would express greetings and warmth in his letters, which was very close.”
"Hey..." Qin Mubai sighed and shook his head.
"Why are you sighing?" the female swordsman asked doubtfully, "Could the death of my husband be related to Liao Lirong? When I came to Ji County, I found that there was a flood here, and Jishan County was a vast ocean. I wanted to find Liao Lirong first, but I couldn't. Find him. Where is he now
"I am imprisoned." Qin Mubai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining an arc full of ridicule and disdain, and said, "As expected, Liao Lirong was the most direct murderer of Zhu Chengwen's death."
"What?!" the female swordsman scolded in horror, "This is impossible! He is my husband's only friend in a foreign land. The two of them live in the same county and depend on each other. They wear the same clothes and pants, just like brothers. generally!"
"You'd better accept this fact." Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed, "Zhu Chengwen is really a tragic character when he meets unkind people and makes careless friends. Although I have never met him, from the investigation these days From what I said to you, it is not difficult for me to understand that even if he is not a Qingtian parent official, he is at least a person who abides by his duties and has a lot of integrity. It is unlikely that he is some evil person, but it is a pity that he was killed in the end. But he is the most trusted and only friend!”
"I still don't believe it!" The female swordsman seemed to be gritting her teeth and snorted coldly, "Unless I see Liao Lirong and hear it with my own ears and admit it!"
"Then let's go!" Qin Mubai chuckled indifferently, "It's just on the way."
The female swordsman held the sword in both hands and lowered her head in silence for a moment, as if thinking, and whispered: "Why should I trust you?"
"Of course you don't have to believe it." Qin Mubai curled his lips and waved to the other two soldiers: "Let's go."
"Stop!" the female swordsman shouted, her ghostly figure floating in front of Qin Mubai, her starry eyes looking straight at him, as if she wanted to penetrate him with her eyes.
"I'll go with you!"
"Please feel free to do so." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, walked around her and walked forward. The two soldiers covered their shoulders that were still bleeding, glared at her with hostility, and quickly followed her.
The three of them walked in front together, and Nv Jiange followed unhurriedly five or six steps behind. A soldier said: "General, this woman is too vicious, and her origin is unknown. Is it really appropriate for us to take her with us like this?"
"I know my own rules, no need to say more." Qin Mubai said nothing more. Although the two soldiers were full of resentment towards the woman, they did not dare to say any more.
The group of people came to the carriage, and the pawn who was watching the carriage said in surprise: "Hey, why are you two injured?... There is an extra woman in black?"
"It's a female ghost!" Xiao Pawn A spat and cursed angrily.
"Shut up!" Qin Mubai scolded, "If you are not as good as others, you have to accept your fate. Who told you not to practice well?"
"Yes..." Xiao Pawn A lowered his head and said no more.
The female swordsman stepped forward, glanced at the four people present with her starry eyes, took out a bottle of medicine and threw it to Soldier A: "Apply it yourself."
"Thank you for your kindness, no need." Soldier A threw the medicine bottle back to her and said angrily, "We have it ourselves."
"Oh, I forgot." The female swordsman put away the medicine bottle, chuckled, and said, "General Qin Mubai's subordinates are all dignified royal commanders, and they are all children of noble families. They use Of course they are all good things, how can you look down on inferior products like ours.”
"I'm too lazy to tell you, otherwise the general will curse again." Soldier A glared at her angrily and stopped talking.
The female swordsman sneered: "I have heard about the name of Baiqi for a long time. It is said that everyone can fight one against a hundred, but I didn't expect it to be such a pustule. You are not convinced when you are inferior to others and you lose. It seems that you have earned your reputation in vain. Well!"
"You!..." The three pawns were furious at the same time, wishing they could eat this arrogant woman alive. Since Baiqi was formed, they have never eaten this kind of turtle in front of anyone. No wonder they were so angry.
Qin Mubai Wan'er smiled: "Girl, your martial arts are very powerful. Maybe even I can't beat you. But when you charge in front of the battle, you can win with less, and picking up the enemy general's head in the crowd of thousands of troops is like picking out an object from a bag. You can do it. What? At that time, a hundred girls may not be as effective as a hundred knights."
"You talkative!" The female swordsman snorted coldly and ignored the four men. She twisted her delicate body and went straight to the car and sat in in a dignified manner.
"Hey! This savage little bitch is so unreasonable!" The three pawns were a little annoyed. "The general hasn't even boarded the car yet, but she got in first!"
"Children of the world don't stick to trivial matters, don't make a fuss." Qin Mubai smiled nonchalantly, "Get in the car and let's go!"
"I don't want to ride in the same carriage with this savage bitch. We don't have the heart of a general. I'll get angry when I see her!" The two soldiers who were injured by her before unloaded from the carriage angrily. Horse, ride on. Another person drove the car, and Qin Mubai and Nu Jiange sat in the car together.
The carriage swayed, and a pine oil lamp was burning in the carriage, making it dim.
The female swordsman was dressed in black silk clothes and a black cloak. She still had not taken off the black gauze palace-brimmed hat she was wearing. She looked quite mysterious under the dim light. Vaguely, all you can see is the sparkle of her soul in her starry eyes. The palm of her hand holding the sword is as white as jade, and her slender fingers are as green as green onions. She doesn't look like a rough person who practices swords and guns all day long.
"Girl, what's your surname? Otherwise I don't know how to call you?" Qin Mubai asked.
"I'm already married, so there's no need to call me girl."
"What's your name, madam?"
"I look like the youngest?" There was a hint of sadness in the female swordsman's voice, "Although I have been promised to marry, I have not married yet. Although I am a mother, I have not left the boudoir."
"You are so funny. Do you like to talk and pick words?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "I'm too lazy to ask. From now on, I will call you Miss Hei. Anyway, you like to wear black clothes."
The female swordsman glanced sideways at Qin Mubai, and said every word as neatly as chopping vegetables and melons, and a little coldly: "My maiden name is Chen, my given name is Yan, and my husband named me Shuozhen."
"Chen Yan, Chen Shuozhen..." Qin Mubai nodded silently, suddenly his heart trembled in surprise, and he stared at this woman with wide eyes in astonishment!
Chen Shuozhen? !
What a familiar name!
Qin Mubai once remembered that he once traveled to Hangzhou in the 21st century and was invited to a friend's house in Chun'an County. I once saw two special landscapes there - Tianziji and Wannian Tower.
According to legend, in the early years of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, a unique female leader of the peasant uprising army emerged in history, named Chen Shuozhen! These two historical landscapes are what she left behind!
Stories about her are widely circulated locally. It is said that that year, Chen Shuozhen's hometown, Qingxi, was hit by a flood that had never happened in a century. However, the government refused to open warehouses to release grain, and still levied various taxes, causing people to suffer from starvation and death. Chen Shuozhen was already well-known at that time, so he used the appeal of religion to take the lead in "making a revolution" and soon launched an uprising in the mountains. He actually mobilized tens of thousands of troops and quickly captured one or two counties and established his own political power. , known as the "Emperor Wenjia".
Although this small-scale uprising later failed in just over a month, and she was captured and executed, this feat was unprecedented and unprecedented. In Chinese history, countless women participated in peasant uprisings, but there were only as few women as leaders, and the only woman who was a leader and also called an emperor was Chen Shuozhen!
When she "proclaimed herself emperor", Wu Zetian was only thirty years old and had just been brought back to the palace by Li Zhi from Ganye Temple. She had not even become queen yet. Therefore, there are many people who "firmly" believe that Chen Shuozhen is the first female emperor in Chinese history!
"Miss Chen's ancestral home is in the Muzhou area?" Qin Mubai asked in order to confirm his guess and avoid having the same name.
Chen Yan laughed disdainfully when she heard this: "People from Jianghuai have strong accents. You can tell when you hear them, so why ask?"
"I have an old acquaintance who is also from Muzhou. His hometown seems to be called 'Qingxi'." Qin Mubai said casually.
"What's your last name?" Chen Yan asked curiously.
"Zhang Daniu." Qin Mubai made a random name.
"I don't know." Chen Yan coldly said these three words, turned away, hugged the sword, closed her eyes to rest, and ignored Qin Mubai.
"It's true!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but raised his brows in surprise, thinking: Looking at her current temperament, there is a hint of rebellion in her strength, and there is absolutely no fear of the government and officials that ordinary people have. In addition, With her powerful and terrifying martial arts skills, it is not difficult to understand why she later dared to take risks and "rebellion and revolution".
