Of course, for the common people of Zuo, the sacred capital of peace, the incident of a fake Wude Department officer appearing in Tangquan Street in Chengxiafang in an attempt to assassinate officials appointed to the imperial court is not a big deal. Nowadays, it is a popular topic in the news and on the streets.
Therefore, for a time, driven by the stern instructions of Shangguan, the delinquents of Henan Prefecture and the officers of Wude Division, as well as the urgent inspectors and arresters, flooded the streets like wolves and dogs; Along with the turmoil, there are also many disturbances and disturbances under the mud and sand, where ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and other evil people may be hiding.
However, for the person involved, Jiang Tian, after this incident happened, it also brought some kind of success in disguise. It was originally expected to take a whole day or several days, and the whole process and all the formalities of job assignments involving several yamen were almost completed at noon the next day, accelerated by some kind of special instructions.
However, after the scene at that time was rumored; whether it was to go to the Yushitaiyuan of the Dongdu Branch to change the identity and credentials; or to go to the Department of Criminal Affairs to verify the certificate and receive a limited-time license to travel in the Dongdu. Jiang Tian found that he was warmly received and at the same time, he was also being watched in disguise.
Therefore, after he handed over the letter from the General Affairs Department and inquired about the approximate time when His Majesty might be summoned in the near future, he realized that the relevant rumors had evolved to quite outrageous proportions. Of course, it's nothing more than a certain royal censor's nightly battle with eighteen witches, with fists and pillows, something that the general public likes to see.
Therefore, at noon, when Jiang Tian stayed in the Xidailu Courtyard on the edge of the imperial city in the north of the city, intending to taste Dongdu's characteristic corridor food (work meal), he found various low- and medium-level officials carrying food boxes, and there were many Almost one wave after another of the back office officials walking in the office of the Baiguan Department passed by the vicinity of Jiang Fang's desk.
Therefore, in the Xidailuyuan, which is specially designed for lunch for officials below the seventh rank, the veranda food, which is similar to the buffet in later generations, provides dozens of dishes with both meat and vegetables. The taste is not bad; but as a With the new faces watching from a distance, Jiang Gao has become the center of attention.
Even later, even people from the General Administration Department and various Dao Jinzouyuan near Zuoyintai Gate wandered over on the pretext of dining and getting food; just to have a look in person, the person who could throw himself into the soup pool He hugged Mei Jiao'e, and then killed the person in the rumor with blood all over the ground.
Don't underestimate their ability to gossip. These low-level officials and court officials usually handle and engage in complicated and complicated common affairs. Therefore, they are undoubtedly the ones within the Dongdu Branch's system and may not have the best news channels. Although they are well-informed, they are the group with the widest sources of information and the fastest dissemination.
Therefore, although Jiang Tian was still calm and composed, strolling around and eating in the Xidailu Courtyard, while listening to all directions and using these officials and subordinates as special observation samples, there seemed to be people in the imperial city watching. Don't go. Just after noon, amid the sounds of cloud boards and chimes, an internal official was welcomed.
After leading Jiang Tian through several twists and turns of buildings, the middle-aged internal official stopped at a place where several embroidered warriors with muscles and eyes unblinking stood guarding the gate of the tall palace; He gently moved the dust in his hand and said: "Jiang Zuopan, this is the newly established Qingzheng Division. The current selection place is inconvenient for the Zajia family to enter; please ask Zuopan to help you."
Afterwards, he received the notification inside and hurriedly welcomed out an official in dark blue robes. He raised his head slightly and said: "Qu Zhizheng, this is Judge Jiang Zuo who is about to take office as Qing Zhengsi. Your noble lord has specially told me that I will entertain you so well." , don’t slack off any more.”
This music professional has a slightly round face, soft facial features, and speaks softly and softly: "It turns out that Jiang Zuo was appointed. It was a coincidence that a group of ambitious people were selected in Beijing at that time. It's time to ask Zuo Fan to give me some advice; he can be regarded as a person." As he led the way out of the palace gate, there was an open square immediately.
And in this square, with the shouts and shouts one after another, groups of well-built people are using various iron and stone instruments, sweating like rain, exercising, or Amidst the many obstacles and complex scenes deliberately created by various debris, the body is flying and climbing at high and low levels.
Several groups of people formed a formation together, holding various long and short weapons without blades, and fought against each other. When the confrontation became fierce, some people would groan and scream in pain from time to time, and be knocked to the ground in an instant; Immediately, he was dragged aside by his companions with quick eyesight and quick hands, and received corresponding examination and treatment.
There are also people who are climbing on the suspension ropes and ropeways laid out between the various sentinel towers and watchtowers. Then, those who still have leisure and energy in their hands take the time to shoot arrows at human targets at different distances, and to pull them around. stacks of wood. According to Qu Zheng, this place was originally a training ground for the internal discipline disciples, but now it has been allocated to the Qingzhengsi.
And these personnel were also selected from the five government and three health offices under the jurisdiction of the Dongdu Branch. After the various skills are combined and compiled, they can be used as a direct force running around the Kiyomasa Division. Of course, now that things have come to this point, the overall style is still relatively normal, and the mental outlook of the staff is still good.
However, after passing through a side door, Qu Zhizhang continued to introduce: "The people here are the experts and outstanding people who have been carefully selected from all sides. They are also In the future, our Qingzhengsi will be the subordinates we really need to rely on." However, Jiang Tian felt something bad in his heart when he heard this.
The next moment, dozens of people with different appearances and temperaments were standing in the spacious courtyard; some of them were young and young, while others had frost-white hair on their temples. They formed several circles, and pointed at the two pairs of people in the center who were fighting swords, pointing and criticizing, showing expressions of either appreciation or disgust.
"Left judge, let's see." Qu Zhengzheng said with a smug look on his face: "The one with gray beard and hair is the eagle-handed white man. He is said to have unparalleled iron claws and the ability to break gold and stone."
"The one with long eyebrows and sideburns is Li Shutong, a one-word electric swordsman. He is also the third-ranked swordsman in the Renshen Nian Martial Arts Association, and was specially selected to teach in the battle class."
"Let's look at the young man with two swords. Even though he is young, he is the leader among the knights in Dongdu. His combined sword attack skills are rare and he is known as Lie Fengzi by people at the time."
"That middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance is Shi Zhengong, who was born in Yicong, Hexi Province. He defeated horse thieves and sand thieves in Helong and Qingtang areas, and for many years he ranked first among thieves."
"That person is Shi Yigong, who was born as the chief guard of the Fen Palace. He is also known as Zuo Menshen. He possesses Qilian's secret iron-wall hard skills. He is generally invulnerable to swords and guns. He once fought with tigers and leopards and rescued the current one."
At the same time, in an attic not far from the courtyard, there were several young disciples dressed in purple and accompanied by internal officials, who were observing the fighting scene in the courtyard. It wasn't until he saw Jiang Tian being introduced by Qu Zheng that he changed his attention and started talking about:
"Is this the strange person from Xijing who is rumored to be so mysterious?"
"Isn't it said that he has the natural power of ten battles and ten battles, as well as the bloodthirsty means of killing people?"
"I really can't believe that this is a female assassin who can fight ferocious beasts with her bare hands, and can also take on people who come to her. She can destroy flowers with her ruthless hands!"
"It doesn't matter if he can't see it. Now that he's here, if he wants to convince the public in the hands of these good guys, shouldn't he show off his skills?"
The next moment, it was as if someone had told him something; the experts who were watching and giving guidance to the competition; as Jiang Tian said something, suddenly they all turned their heads as if they had been stabbed in a hornet's nest. They all glared at each other; they even gave up the fight and angrily gathered around him, semi-surrounding him.
"No, something is going to happen!" One of the youngest men in purple couldn't help shouting: "Come quickly, go up and separate and restrain them." After all, the other party is an official of the imperial court; if Therefore, if the matter becomes too big, even if it is looked back later, it will not be covered up, and it will never be easy on my side.
However, his words changed suddenly. Jiang Tian suddenly dodged without hesitation and rammed into these experts like a cannon; exploding large amounts of sand and dust out of thin air, sending the nearest people flying away. And when he reappeared in the dust, his left and right hands had already captured two human bodies whose life and death were unknown.
Immediately afterwards, when these purple-clothed disciples became dumbfounded or dumbfounded, and even started to fight, Jiang Tian was like waving the blades of a windmill, amidst the large smoke and dust swirling around him. , chasing the masters of various schools who were scurrying and dodging one by one;
Then, he was seen swinging the huge human bolas easily. Seeing that there was no way to dodge or evade, the masters who could easily be knocked away even when they pulled out their weapons were knocked down one by one, turned over, and smashed to the ground screaming, turning them into corpses lying on the ground. The human body is scattered horizontally and vertically.
As the last lucky man escaped from the courtyard and wanted to ask for help, he knocked him down and dragged him back; the huge courtyard was already silent. Qu Zhengyi was trembling and leaning against the wall with his head in his hands, feeling that his trouser legs and inner crotch were all wet.
Putting down the living weapon that had become unrecognizable in his hand, Jiang Tian looked at the outside athletes who came after hearing the sound and were shocked. He spat on the spot and said: "I emphasize again, I am not targeting any of you. , let me tell you, all of you people here are rubbish."
Immediately, he rushed out without hesitation, but those outside athletes who were doing three laps inside and three laps outside all followed his path and backed away a large distance and space.
