Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The weather was not bad that day, at least it did not make people feel particularly cold. The ice and snow outside Bianliang City began to melt slowly, and the water in the river was still frozen solid. A few wintersweet branches on the side of the avenue were in bloom.  The red flowers are a little brighter again.  .

    This is Dali Zhuang Town, thirty miles north of the city. Gao Chong rode the bay red horse, and Fang Jinshi rode the cart horse at home, galloping on the country road. His horse was far inferior to the horse he bought with a lot of money later.  The bay-red horse was far behind.

    Gao Chong stopped and waited for him to come over. He jumped down and said, "This horse is really good. Although the price you mentioned is a bit high, it is still worth it." Fang Jinshi said, "Since you think it is good, this horse  How about I give it to you?" Gao Chong said hurriedly: "How can this be done? A gentleman does not take away what others like. You bought it for a big price, how can I want your horse? I can't afford it either."

    Fang Jinshi chuckled and said: "I will give it to you without you having to pay. There is a saying that swords are given to martyrs. Of course, good goods should be given to those who know the goods."

    Gao Chong said: "There is no reward for no merit. If this horse does not go to the battlefield to fight, it will be the same in anyone's hands." Fang Jinshi said: "Actually, I am also a person with a military position. I have been in the military since the seventh century.  A top-notch martial artist."

    Gao Chong looked at him with a look of disbelief. Fang Jinshi said seriously: "Really, I have fought in the Northwest Army, fought with the Xixia Army, the Liao Army, and the Jurchens." What he said  Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was not completely bragging, so Fang Jinshi spoke very calmly.

    Gao Chong's eyes flashed with envy, and he praised: "Is it that you, a martial arts master, gained your fame through your bravery and hard work on the battlefield?" Fang Jinshi said: "Of course it is. I led the way at that time.  People robbed a county in the Liao Kingdom, named Roufu County, and finally got this reputation."

    Gao Chong admired him even more after hearing this, and sighed and said: "Hey, it would be great if I can go to the battlefield and fight for a while." Fang Jinshi said: "How many people have heard that they have to go to the battlefield to fight.  You are scared to death, but you are jealous of others who have been on the battlefield, which is rare."

    Gao Chong said: "People always have different ideas. You should keep this horse. I will buy it from you when I have money." Fang Jinshi knew that if he had to give it to him, Gao Chong would definitely not  He would accept it, and since he was temporarily living in Prince Xu's mansion, he had no place to raise the horse, so he had to give it up for the time being and find another opportunity.

    The two got on their horses and chatted for a while, then came to the main street of Dali Village Town. Fang Jinshi saw an oil shop selling oil. In front of a small shop, he picked up a small flag that read "Feng Ji Oil Shop."  ".

    Fang Jinshi came out of the city for a walk, of course he had his own purpose. He wanted to find out whether the fire in the boundary village there had anything to do with the people coming from the Liao Kingdom. The most important thing was whether he would have anything to do with the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi who sent someone to see him off.  Is there any connection about the letter? With a bodyguard like Gao Chong, Fang Jinshi feels much more at ease. He will take him to see Zhao Duofu, the concubine of Roufu Emperor, later, so that nothing can be missed.

    Gao Chong saw him dismounting and walking towards the oil mill, and asked strangely: "What are you doing in the oil mill?" Fang Jinshi said: "To see a friend, you come too." Gao Chong had no choice but to tie up the horse.  After following him in, the waiter in the store saw a customer coming in and immediately came forward to greet him. Fang Jinshi brought out Feng Bao's name and explained his purpose. The clerk had already received Feng Bao's greeting and immediately found the oil seller that day.  The guy was deeply impressed by the gas purchase because the man paid the bill with a silver pen he had never seen before.

    However, the guy didn't know where the people who came to buy oil came from. He had only come here once and never seen him again. Fang Jinshi asked for some other details, but he didn't get anything. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.  Just as he was about to go out, the clerk followed him out again and said with a smile: "This young man might as well ask the second son of the Chen family." Fang Jinshi heard something interesting from what he said, so he said to him: "Then please help me.  Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The guy chuckled and said, "Chen Laoer's house is two streets away." Fang Jinshi understood what he meant. He was asking for money for running errands. Fang Jinshi took out a hundred or so copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into this  The store clerk said in his hand: "Take it to buy wine."

    The guy immediately nodded and bowed with a smile on his face and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fang. Chen Laoer had a wooden wheel cart that he bought for someone a while ago. One day later, it was lost on the edge of the river beach. He picked it up and brought it back.  .¡±

    Fang Jinshi understood what the guy meant as soon as he heard it, but he asked curiously: "How did you know that the wooden wheel cart that came to buy oil that day was Chen Laoer's?"

    The guy said: "To be fair to you, sir, I am Chen Laoer's neighbor and a clan relative. I have borrowed his wooden cart several times. I recognized it as soon as the gas buyer pushed it to me that day.  "

    Fang Jinshi heard that the door was coming. This guy must be a scheming person. He must have sensed something was wrong and got some information. Fang Jinshi took out two more coins.He gave it to this guy, and after seeing him put it away, he said, "Did you follow the person who bought oil that day?"

    The clerk said: "The counter was a little busy at the time, and I didn't think too much about it. Naturally, I wouldn't follow others. But the next day, Chen Laoer told me that someone bought his car at a high price, and later someone found it missing.  On the river beach, I walked around the river beach where the car was lost, and found that a lot of strangers seemed to have come to Zheng¡¯s wife¡¯s house.¡±

    Fang Jinshi heard this and said, "Can you take me to see the outside of Member Zheng's house?" The guy said, "Of course, let's go now."

    Fang Jinshi and Gao Chong stored their horses in the oil mill. The man led the way and headed west. Gao Chong asked in a low voice, "What are we going to see?" Fang Jinshi said, "We went there not far away a few days ago.  Someone in Jie Village deliberately set a fire and burned seven or eight people to death. The murderer is most likely hiding in this town. Let's go and take a look."

    Gao Chong's face darkened and he cursed: "Such a murderer should be killed." He immediately quickened his pace, as if the criminals would escape if he arrived late. Fang Jinshi usually didn't talk much when he saw him, but when he met  He did not hesitate to deal with injustice.

    The three of them were walking on the road, and the clerk said: "Master Fang, you are from the Yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture. If there is a reward from the government in the future, please remember to speak for me." At this time, he did not forget to ask for some benefits, Fang Jinshi  With full agreement, the three of them walked more than three miles and arrived at a small river. The man pointed to a large house on the other side and said, "That's Zheng's wife's house there. The wooden wheel was left here that day."

    Fang Jinshi looked towards the other bank and saw a large house built against the river bank. The front door of the house faced the official road. There was a back door open on the river beach. The double doors were closed. There were several big trees planted in front of the door. There was no one nearby.  At this time, the water is small in winter and the river has frozen. It only takes a cup of hot tea to walk there.

    It's just that at this time, if you don't enter the house, you shouldn't see anything happening. If you go to knock on the door like this, they don't know Mr. Zheng, and they can't find any credible reason. Fang Jinshi thought  After a while, he asked the waiter: "How did you know that a stranger came to Zheng's wife's house? Have you seen these strangers?"

    The waiter said: "I haven't seen it, but I naturally have a way to know. There are forty-six of these people. They arrived ten days ago, and I also know that they are from the Liao Kingdom." Fang Jinshi was surprised. He was surprised at first.  After looking down on this guy, who actually knew all this, Fang Jinshi asked, "How do you know those strangers are from Liao?"

    The guy said proudly: "These strangers don't worship our gods. The gods they worship are only worshiped by the Khitans." Fang Jinshi began to like this guy a little. Although this guy is greedy for money, he is very good at doing things.  , Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "Since you know that a Khitan is coming to Zheng's family, why don't you report it to the official?"

    The clerk said: "It's not like Khitan people can't come to the Song Dynasty, how can I report it to the official? Why offend Yuan Zheng for nothing?" Fang Jinshi thought about the same truth, but since it was confirmed that the person who bought the oil was a Khitan person,  It was probably related to the arson case in Lijie Village. Today's harvest was enough for Fang Jinshi.

    Fang Jinshi and the others returned to the oil mill. He couldn't think of a way to check out Zheng's residence for the time being, so he had no choice but to give up. He and Gao Chong led the horses out. Gao Chong said, "Are we going back now?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "It's still early in the day. I heard that the scenery behind the nearby Chengyun Temple is pretty good. How about we go and have a look?" Gao Chong said: "We have been out for half a day, why not wait for another day."

    How could Fang Jinshi let him go back? Emperor Roufu was afraid that she had been waiting for him at Chengyun Temple for a long time. Fang Jinshi didn't give a damn about how he could report to Zhao Duofu when he went back. He just said: "He has already come out. He went back so early."  What to do? When I went out, the woman at home told me to go to Chengyun Temple to give her some incense money. I had to do it. How about you go with me?"

    Gao Chong was thin-skinned and couldn't say anything to refuse. Although he didn't want to, it was Fang Jinshi's suggestion, so he had nothing to say. In fact, he knew that Chengyun Temple was a nunnery, so he was more resistant.  .

    The two rode horses towards Chengyun Temple. The road was not far, and they soon reached the foot of the mountain. Gao Chong said that he did not want to go up the mountain and would wait for him at the foot of the mountain. Fang Jinshi couldn't help but store the horse at the foot of the mountain and took him a step further.  Step up the mountain to get there.

    When we came up the mountain, it was a little colder than at the bottom. The back temple of Chengyun Temple was not allowed to go in and out at will, but you could walk around in other parts of the main hall in front of it. Fang Jinshi was secretly worried, and he didn't know where the Roufu Emperor met this high favor.  , we can't always meet men and women in this main hall.

    He took Gao Chong around the places where Chengyun Temple could enter, but he didn't see any hints about Emperor Roufu. When he walked to the corner door at the back, a man in his forties was standing in the corner.  After clearing the snow, I saw Fang Jinshi and Gao Chong entering the courtyard. I looked up and then lowered my head to work, butHe quickly looked up again, then walked over and saluted the two of them as a monk: "Among the two donors, is there a young master named Fang?"

    Fang Jinshi quickly returned the salute and said: "Jinshi below, I wonder what the master has to say?" The old nun said: "The poor nun's Dharma name is Guan Yun. Someone gave this Buddhist scripture and asked the poor nun to pass it on to Young Master Fang."

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "So you are Master Guanyun. Last time I was entrusted by someone to send potted flowers and plants to Master. I don't know if Master received it or not."

    Master Guanyun smiled and said: "It turns out you gave me a nice pot of water hosta last time, but what I got was a pot of heartbroken grass. Fortunately, I didn't tell anyone."
