This chapter is from last night
So, as the dust settled after a few days, Jiang Tian was able to return. There are also two new residents in the Tingliu Villa in Qingqi Garden.
One of them is the blind girl Ayun who was brought out of the underground ghost market. After leaving the ghost market, she basically had nowhere to go; although she said before that she just wanted to die outside the ghost market, but the ghost really After the city was destroyed, Jiang Tian couldn't just let her die.
Therefore, he took advantage of the situation and proposed an exchange condition to Ayun who saw the light of day again, which was not a request; that is, he would be a slave for three years as a corresponding reward. Then, whether she wanted to end her life or find another place, she was free to do so.
Of course, Jiang Tian didn't really expect a blind girl to do things for him; he just gave her one as much as he could under the occasional overflowing sympathy, so that he could calm down in the gap between great sorrow and great joy, and make a new choice for the rest of his life. It's just an opportunity.
Anyway, according to Ayun herself, during those days in the ghost market, she had developed the ability to take care of herself by listening to voices and identifying positions, so she didn't have to worry too much about making arrangements; on the contrary, she was good at it. Pipa and singing may be used as entertainment while studying.
In contrast, it is another person who is more troublesome. That is, Jiang Tian impulsively rescued Concubine Ming from the secret underground sacrificial place. I thought that someone would come to take over afterward, but it turned out that everyone seemed to have forgotten about it and treated her as if she didn't exist.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tian knew the specific reason, but he could only shout that he was unlucky; because neither Xantai nor Jinwuwei wanted to get involved in this big trouble, so he actually became the target of being dumped. The medical officers who had been recruited in turn did not give optimistic results.
It was said that he had been poisoned by several mixed and strange poisons, and while he was still conscious, his whole body was paralyzed as if frozen to death; he could not move or speak, and he could only slowly nurse himself back to health and maintain fluids like a vegetative state. Then, just leave it to chance to see if you can recover on your own.
At least, in the absence of a specific antidote to the disease, medical officials can only prescribe some prescriptions that warm and strengthen the heart, soothe the blood and activate the collaterals; and specific massage and stretching techniques can prevent long-term stiffness and immobility. , resulting in sequelae such as muscle atrophy and bedsores;
In other words, Jiang Tian invited a living Bodhisattva back for himself out of a temporary impulse to cocoon himself. However, he really couldn't throw it away even if he wanted to. After rescuing the person with good intentions, then just abandoning it and leaving it to fend for itself would be too cruel and despairing.
However, fortunately, the new blind girl Ayun did not hesitate to take on the tedious daily care of feeding, cleaning, massage and medication. This can be regarded as a great sharing of Jiang Tian's troubles. Next, he only needs to have someone prescribe the medicine according to the prescription, fry it and then take it.
"What about the Yufan Xiao family? There really is no one who can..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian asked Guo Chongtao, who personally escorted him to the door and explained the follow-up matters:
"The people in the Eastern Capital have already replied. With Long Yan of the Tian family furious, I am afraid that there will no longer be a Yufan Xiao family in the future. If something like this happens, even if the imperial court does not directly eliminate the vassal, the entire Xiao family will pursue them. I have taken away my writings since I was born and submitted them to the judicial department for discussion and punishment."
Guo Chongtao sighed and said:
"If the imperial court is determined to eliminate the vassal, and the vassal council has no objections, it will be the first vassal family to be expelled from the country in the past thirty years. Even the smallest vassal family is still a vassal family. ah."
Jiang Tian was silent in his heart. He vaguely remembered the record of the last vassal removal in the country. It was a vassal family that was angered for disobeying the Empress Dowager Ruizhen during the turmoil related to Zhenzhuji. However, the country was expelled ( After the Spyke), the most basic national title fiefs were still retained, and the descendants and successors were selected from the side tribesmen.
Therefore, it is far less decisive and severe than this time to remove the country, remove the nobility, and pursue the letters since the family was born. However, compared to the time when the vassal family was expelled due to the incident of Princess Zhenzhu, today's Yufan Xiao family was also expelled from the country because of the traced relationship. This is like a reincarnation of history.
"Then do you really believe that the Xiao clan master is the real master of the ghost market behind the scenes?"
Jiang Tian then asked again:
"What's the use of whether I believe it or not? It depends on the princes in the court and the Tian family in Ouchi, whether they need him to be the master of this ghost market, or in other words, the matter ends here..."
Guo Chongtao laughed at himself, but he felt extremely calm in his heart:
"..."
Jiang Tian didn't say anything, but picked up the tea soup that Shun Qing had brewed and filled his empty cup.
"In the following days, I was ordered to patrol the border in Xia Suiyan. If nothing happens to Zheng Jinwu and the others, they will also transfer their meritorious service to the Eastern Capital to take charge of the stationed guards."
Guo Chongtao then took a sip and said with relief:
"Therefore, if you need help with something urgent, you can take your credentials and go to the palace in Xiantai. Although they can't show mercy to you outside the law, they can still do it for you. This is also the promise that the teacher asked me to give you."
"Thank you."
Jiang Tian said sincerely: Compared with those all-encompassing guarantees, this kind of incomplete promise is particularly precious sincerity.
"Although your name is not mentioned in this court announcement, your actions have already been seen by some people."
Guo Chong then glanced at the side room and hesitated to speak:
"Therefore, I would like to give you some advice, whether it is people from various provinces in Dauchi, Wu Desi, or the clan, it is best not to be contaminated if you can. Especially after you have taken in and sheltered the surviving one. "
"Then I saved the money, so I would like to congratulate Xantai."
Hearing this, Jiang Tian smiled and said: Because according to the practice of the country, when a procuratorate censor of his age patrols the border, it is basically the prerequisite and foreshadowing for promotion and transfer.
After all, the country is now surrounded by nine barbarians, who are basically all feudal princes who have been suppressed and protected by the past dynasties. It can be said that except for some barbarians who were driven deep into the mountains, or the small and medium-sized herdsmen who were unable to survive the winter due to disasters every year, there were actually no decent border troubles and threats.
Therefore, what the censors who patrol the border have to face, in addition to security problems such as bandits who take risks for the sake of money and mining lords who gather in groups to illegally mine, are faced with the wind, frost, rain and snow that are much harsher in the border areas than in Gyeonggi. . But no matter what, after this friendship, Jiang Tian still gave corresponding blessings.
However, the next moment, Guo Chongtao stood up and said goodbye knowingly; because he had already heard the familiar drake voice. That was also someone he could neither afford to offend nor be treated favorably; therefore every time he saw him, he would inevitably feel embarrassed.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"Sir, I heard that you showed off your skills in the ghost market and saved many people."
"It is said that a powerful man appeared in public and killed all the rats in the ditch..."
"It was a fire dragon and it rained down swords. It's a pity that I couldn't witness it with my own eyes; it's really a pity!"
Ke Ke Ya, whose voice was the first to catch everyone's attention, blurted out a series of barbs almost as soon as he stepped in the door. Then after seeing Jiang Tian, he looked around and suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret for your safety."
"What does this have to do with me? I happened not to be at the scene, and I heard about it afterward. It may not be that there is no spreading of rumors."
When Jiang Tian saw this, he couldn't help but smile:
"Yes, sir, you are right."
Kodakya rolled his eyes when he heard this, and immediately echoed: "But he was inexplicably excited in his heart. Obviously, this great swordsman has entered the world to experience the secrets of the mortal world, and he is the only one who knows about it."
"Sir, could you please tell me the specific situation at that time, so that I can..."
"Ajiu, don't want Meng Lang."
At this time, a cold and somewhat soft female voice suddenly came in and said: Seeing Ke Keya, who was almost lying on the case with a face full of admiration and fascination, he immediately sat up with a grunt. .
Then a slim figure wearing a draped hat appeared in the corridor of Tingliu Xiaozhu. Then he dismissed the maidservants who came with him, and then elegantly took off the veil that covered his face, revealing his plump lips, pretty nose, expectant eyes and soft brows, and greeted softly:
"Well sir!"
"Sister."
Only then did Kodakya say hello, and then he patted his head and said quickly to Jiang Tian:
"Sister, I came here with me this time to thank you personally."
"oh……"
Jiang Tian suddenly understood: Could it be that Xiaoyao's family members came here? Sure enough, I saw this sister, who seemed to be more radiant and cheerful than the previous encounter. She continued to speak:
"My wife's relatives are close friends of the whole family who have an important relationship with me. This unfortunate disaster was not caused by irreparable regrets, thanks to my husband's generous rescue."
"Both my family and my family are deeply grateful for such kindness. I am here to deliver a message for you. I hope that after everything is over, my husband can ask me and my family to express my gratitude in person." The gift."
"It's too much praise. I just happened to meet him, and I can't see it..."
Jiang Tian could not help but admire in his heart after hearing this: She is truly worthy of the upbringing of a high-class family; even a few simple words, through her mood and words, can make people feel like a spring breeze, very comfortable and at ease; neither I don’t think Shengfen will be too eager. Therefore, I don’t mind telling the siblings more specific details:
"Actually, the person you really want to thank is Pingting who snatched her out of Yi Tower."
"If she hadn't suddenly decided to sacrifice her life to save her, and she was injured and took Xiaoyao with her, and happened to run all the way to us, then everything would have been over."
"It was precisely because of her courage that she saw the connection between me and your family on the spot, and that's why she sacrificed her life for her... and now we have become friends in adversity together."
"It turns out that's the case. It's really gratifying."
When Sister heard this, she couldn't help but feel moved; this was an inside story that Xiaoyao's family had never told. However, she looked at the man's calm and selfless expression and words that did not take any credit; but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, with such a beautiful and clear mind, he was indeed an extraordinary person who transcended the world.
