Chapter 152: Narrating Merits
However, it was obvious that the back garden of Pei Mansion was much wider than the building in the front yard. Therefore, Jiang Tian, who changed directions, took some time to exit. However, at the next moment, Jiang Tian saw the wide streets of Zhongcheng and the towering Nannei/Xingqing Palace diagonally opposite.
In fact, with this Zhongheng Street close to Xingqing Palace as the dividing line, the people patrolling the streets are no longer limited to the Jinwu disciples with light armor, scarlet shirts and big hips in the traditional sense; there are many more subordinates of Longwu, Shenwu, Yu Lin and other Beiya Imperial Guards. These fully clothed horse infantry sergeants were also the ones Jiang Tian did not want to disturb or provoke.
However, things went against expectations. Amidst the faint sounds of chasing and shouting, someone suddenly flew down from the building of the Calyx Xianghui, a landmark building where the emperor and the people enjoyed themselves in the past. However, he did not fall to the ground and fell into the patrol sergeants who came after hearing the sound on the street; instead, he kicked off the wall and flew over.
I saw the man flying across the spacious street, and the heads of the noisy patrol guards flying towards him, almost landed on the north wall of Daozhengfang; only then did I breathe a little sigh of relief, and did not notice anything. Without pause, he disappeared into the depths of the dark courtyard for life before the soldiers who clamored to surround him arrived.
However, the next moment, a scream suddenly broke out in the darkness. This uninvited guest who broke in without authorization flew out like a torn sack; he fell heavily in front of the patrolling guards who were running outside the wall and were surprised. But his hands and feet were already misaligned, like a dead dog lying on the ground.
Immediately, among the guards who were looking at each other, a strong and armored general walked out. He said respectfully to the back of the wall in a deep voice: "Thank you for your help, Master. Can you come out to meet me and say thank you?" However, no one could respond to him at this time, because Jiang Tian had already walked away along the wall.
After all, he had just visited this garden and had initially established an intimate relationship; if something unexpected happened due to the intrusion of this uninvited guest, wouldn't he be blamed for it? There was no more trouble on the way back, and he even took a tour of Qujiang Neiyuan/Miyagi Castle.
But apart from the strengthened defenses on the palace walls and towers, and the constant patrolling of the guards, no other situation was encountered. However, the next moment, he suddenly seemed to hear some kind of call: "Ancestor", "Ancestor". But in the vision interface, there are no prompts or reactions...
After waking up again at noon with the birds chirping, Jiang Tian missed Kodak a little bit. If this were the case, his iconic duck voice would probably be heard shouting and screaming throughout the courtyard again. And every time he comes, he will basically bring the fastest and latest news about Chang'an Lifang.
However, before he left temporarily, he had sorted out the things assigned by Jiang Tian. Therefore, except for the jewelry that has not yet been fully realized, all other income has been exchanged for a 30,000 yuan deposit certificate issued by Nanfeng, one of the seven major money banks in Beijing, and a number of redemption notes.
In addition, although Kodak Ya could no longer send news in person, they continued to be sent to the Pei family every day. Shun Qing was responsible for receiving all kinds of official and private news and newspaper copies. As for the names that Jiang Tian got from Youxian Temple, he has already found two of them; one of them has already died of illness, so we won’t talk about it for now.
But there is another living Yuwen Ruochen, who is a secretary-supervisor serving in one of the three inner provinces and a direct bachelor of Jixian Academy. He is currently accompanying him in Luoyang as a regent. And he also has another identity, that is, a direct member of the Yuwen clan, the only two remaining Guobin clans in the Tang Dynasty, together with the Yang clan of the former Sui Dynasty.
Therefore, Jiang Tian, who was in Chang'an, was temporarily beyond his reach. At the same time, the two characters "Ling Lang" described by Xiao Ding, the owner of the ghost market, before his death really made Jiang Tian feel a little confused. After all, it sounds like a nickname and is almost the most common style of this era.
Perhaps, we need to check all the household registrations in Chang'an and Wannian counties to find any clues. However, Chang'an is also a super metropolis with millions of households. If you want to conduct research and effectively search household registrations by yourself, you don't know how long it will take.
What's more, this is only the local civil registration, and does not include the large number of clans, vassal families, nobles, capital officials, ministers, traveling scholars and merchants managed by separate registers. But Jiang Tian also had a mysterious feeling that the process of following the clues to complete the task progress was also a process of continuously strengthening and growing his own strength.
The appearance of the Kodak Duck also made Jiang Tian realize another thing. In addition to the special ability used to protect oneself and remove obstacles, as part of one's own strength, it also includes the status and power that can open the door to convenience and even drive people to move around in the social rules of this era.
That's why he didn't reject the good intentions from the looming family behind the Pei siblings; he also didn't mind providing some assistance to Jinwu Guard or Yushitai when the opportunity coincided with the situation. However, it seems that this process and efficiency are still too slow. He undoubtedly needs more manpower.
Whether they are managing and managing wealth, or providing later material support, they are well-connected people who are good at gathering information; they also have unique skills that can cope with unexpected situations and changes in different situations, and can come in handy at critical moments. Professional talents; even allies and external help.
After what happened last night, Jiang Tian was in the state of a sage and completely let go of the string that had been pushed forward by various events since he came into this world, and was faintly tense; slowly The result of trying to understand and clarify your thoughts a little bit. So, am I going to follow the stick next?
However, Jiang Tianlai could not play with it for long while arranging his thoughts in the warm quilt. However, the maid Shun Qing's somewhat urgent voice was heard outside: "Mr. Qi, someone from the Imperial City has arrived outside the garden. Old Gu is opening the middle door to welcome him. Please prepare something this morning. "
"Oh?" Jiang Tian was slightly surprised. Immediately, he saw several chamberlains in the vestibule, led by the middle official, who was wearing a light purple robe with a round collar and narrow sleeves, and wings crossed on his head. He was Haigong, whom he had met several times before. But he glanced at Shunqing, who was dressed as a maid behind Jiang Tian, and smiled slightly: "Jiang Sheng. He is really a famous gentleman."
"I don't dare to take it seriously," Jiang Tian slightly cupped his hands in courtesy and said, "I don't know if a noble person is here. What advice can you give me?"
"It's out of the question to meet and teach," Hai Gong waved his hands with a smile: "The Za family came here this time because they were entrusted by others to deliver good news to Jiang Sheng, so as to prepare the groundwork in advance so as not to be caught off guard. of."
"In this case, I would like to invite you to come in and serve tea as a courtesy of our hospitality." Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian immediately extended his hand to invite you and said, "You have invited me."
Later, after Shunqing brought the fragrant tea and quickly stepped away, Haigong blew the smoke from the teacup and said: "Actually, it was the Zhazi who discussed Jiang Sheng's merits and rewards, and the court in Luodu has already We have some plans and have officially issued a reward edict, and we will arrive at the house soon."
Having said this, he calmly observed Jiang Tian who was sitting opposite him through the steam of the tea soup; only to find that the other person was smiling and listening attentively, but there was no trace of emotion at all. He thought to himself: Is he really someone who is hard to impress even with wealth and fame?
"In addition, the Political Affairs Hall has approved it and has been approved by the Holy Lord. It will select capable and capable people for a special mission in response to the current situation." So, Haigong continued: "If, what the Zajia expected is good. If so, the imperial court has also set up some new positions and expediency this time, among which Jiang Sheng has a place."
"Therefore, there is no guarantee that we will meet again in the future... Naturally, if Jiang Sheng has any other ideas or needs, he might as well talk to the Za family. In this way, until Luo Du's order arrives, it's okay There is room for change.”
After Haigong said goodbye and got on his carriage, he let out a sigh of relief. This time, he was pushed to the forefront and tested this strange man on the grounds of revealing information, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, compared to the result of being rejected after the internal edict was issued, it was nothing if he personally sacrificed his face and took some responsibility for it.
Then, he looked at the extra 500-money ticket in his hand and couldn't help but smile with relief. Although this amount of income is considerable, he usually doesn't take it seriously; in fact, as a banking business related to Ouchi, many people may not be able to get involved with him even if they have a fortune of tens of millions.
But this money ticket is a kind of goodwill released by a person who is suspected of being powerful, so it is particularly precious. As one of the parties involved, he saw with his own eyes the third batch of captured strange beasts, and he also knew more changes in the situation secretly;
In the face of such man-eating beasts that began to emerge in endlessly, any plans, status, reputation, and power were useless. Only organized force can confront and kill. And the world is so big, there are so many places that need to be defended and suppressed; if you just keep on guard, it will be even more stupid and difficult to last, and it will be impossible to guard against.
Therefore, whether it is for self-protection in the present or a way out to enjoy a long life in the future, he must form this good relationship. However, he suddenly remembered some rumors in Qingqi Garden and some news about the Pei family. But he regretted that he lacked a suitable woman around him, otherwise it would be better to adopt him as an adopted daughter just in case.
In Qingqi Garden, Jiang Tian was also slowly recalling and digesting the news brought by Hai Gong. After this period of brewing, the Tang Dynasty finally made up its mind to set up a temporary/secret department specifically to deal with this matter. But what will happen to your own status?
At this time, Jiang Tian's ears once again heard hallucinatory calls, "Ancestor", "Ancestor", "Save me...". This time, the interface in his field of vision finally responded: "The jump anchor point is endangered. , yes/no to establish link?”
