After Xin Pingping and Cheng Shilian looked at each other, Xin Pingping took the lead and said: "Actually, it's a bit presumptuous to say it. I was just entrusted by someone to find out some information about Qing Zhengsi. I happened to meet him. Become a noble official."
"Then I'm afraid you are going to ask blind questions." Jiang Tian laughed when he heard this: "I am new here and don't know much; what's more, haven't you received the news yet?"
"May I ask, sir, what news is it?" Xin Gongping and Cheng Shilian looked at each other for a moment, and then Cheng Shilian said in surprise: "We really don't know, so please enlighten us."
"It's not good news. When I went to take office in the afternoon, I couldn't stand it, so I gave everyone inside a lesson." Jiang Tian wrote lightly: "So, this Qingzhengsi It’s a little hindered at the moment.”
"It turned out to be the case, but we were presumptuous." Xin Gongping showed an expression of disbelief when he heard this, and said helplessly: However, Cheng Shilian then sighed and said: "By the way, what kind of situation is it? It will make your noble officials look down upon you!"
"Brother Cheng!" However, Xin Gongping quickly stopped and said: He, who is the same age, is very measured in dealing with people, why did he lose his composure here? Cheng Shilian also reacted immediately, raised his glass and mocked himself: "Look at me speaking so openly."
"Actually, it's okay to tell you. Anyway, it will spread in the city soon." Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "I just can't stand some of these people and things, and they happened to be sent here by themselves; so I will say goodbye soon."
"Your officer is resigning so soon? That's such a pity." Xin Pingping said with regret: "It's just this short trip, but it makes me admire your officer very much, and I wish I could listen to your advice from time to time; can you Please stay here for a few more days so that I can extend my friendship to the landlord."
"That's not necessary. In fact, I have other arrangements. I can only thank you for your kindness." Jiang Tian thanked him calmly: "Of course, since I'm grateful for the hospitality, I also have something to say. Regarding Qingzhengsi's relationship next, I don't care. Be careful about getting involved with relevant people, and try to distance yourself from it if you can."
"Could it be said that this Qingzhengsi is actually not a good place to go?" Cheng Shilian showed an incredible expression when he heard this, and then explained: "To be honest with you, the person I entrusted with it got a good job in it." This opportunity and future are just waiting for a good life to pay off."
"Then it's even more important to find ways to escape quickly." Jiang Tian took a sip of his drink and said in an understatement: "Because, here is not a future or opportunity, but a big fire pit! That's why I can't stand it, so I I have to take action, but it won’t change anything.”
"Fire pit! How could it be a fire pit?" Hearing this, Cheng Shilian held the cup unsteadily in his hand. He fell down and leaned back slightly and said: Then Xin Gongping quickly held the cup with his eyes and explained: "Because, this is a brother's cup." People who are close relatives, so they can’t help but be concerned and confused.”
"It's just an ordinary fire pit. What I'm most afraid of is that there are hidden dangers." Jiang Tian gently shook his head: "When the time comes, I'm afraid that not only will my future and wealth be lost, but my own life will be at stake. This is not an alarmist statement, do you know why Qingzhengsi was established?"
"Isn't it to cope with the changes in local affairs?" Xin Pingping quickly responded: Due to the competition between the internal and external governments in recent years, not many new yamen have been established, but redundant staff have been gradually reduced. When Shoji arrived, he seemed a little extra eye-catching.
"Yes, it is to respond to local changes." Jiang Tian nodded in approval: "But have you ever thought about why these changes cannot be solved with the many ministers and soldiers in the imperial court? , but what if we need to make a special trip to establish a new Yamen?"
"Could it be that it contains great dangers and crises? We need to gather the power of the government and the public to deal with it?" Cheng Shilian also came back to his senses, drank a full cup and said with some uncertainty: "But the country has been raising scholars for many years, so naturally There should be someone willing to sacrifice his life to serve!"
"Of course that's what he said, but guess what I saw in the Qingzheng Division?" Jiang Tian sneered slightly: "There were only a group of hastily trained soldiers and a few jugglers who showed off their hatred and courage. , it seems to be full of them; there is nothing else.”
"How could it be? How could it be like this!" Xin Gongping couldn't help but said with a worried look on his face when he heard this: He had personally witnessed the jailer chase the prisoner into the mountains and capture the thief's head like a pig or sheep alive with his bare hands; he would not doubt the other party's basic judgment ability. "How could the imperial court be so dismissive of the unexpected situation?"
"If it's just a simple slight, that's it." Jiang Tian said this before sighing: "I'm worried about another possibility. You have also seen the heads of those ferocious beasts on the road, right? If there are no suitable equipment and The equipment, the terrain, even dozens of soldiers can't help but one."
"So, either someone is covering up the situation and fooling everyone. Or they have other plans," Jiang Tian continued: "But no matter what, if you are in it, once you encounter the real use, I'm afraid it will be a narrow escape. Or maybe it’s hard to escape the blame afterwards.”
"..." When Cheng Shilian heard this, he clenched his wine glass tightly and his face became even more ugly. The food and wine in his mouth were all tasteless. Xin Gongping, however, quickly grabbed him, stood up and thanked him at the table, saying, "Thank you, sir, for clarifying the stakes for us."
Next, Cheng Shilian found an excuse to change his clothes and excused himself from the banquet, while Xin Pingping continued to have a drink with Jiang Tian. When he came back after a while, he had calmed down again and his drunkenness had subsided. But he took advantage of the situation and asked Jiang Tian for advice on various things related to strange beasts.
And Jiang Tian has already seen it face to face. The so-called entrustment of this Cheng Shilian is the same as the poster on Zhihu and Tieba in later generations. I have a friend or a relative; in the end, I still have to do it. It falls on his own personal and serious relationship.
As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. In return for this banquet, this is all he should say or shouldn't say; whether the other party is willing to accept it, whether he is willing to believe it, and whether he is determined to stop the loss in time is his own business.
At this time, while Jiang Tian was listening to the accompaniment of silk and bamboo music in the building, he was admiring the graceful figures dancing in groups from time to time in the lobby on the second floor below the railing; but while looking forward, he vaguely felt something like There is a peep.
The next moment, he loaded the merge mode "Enlightenment" in his field of vision. This is also a new discovery under the recent exercise ability. It is the "nuanced" mode that strengthens subtle manipulation and nerve reflexes. It can also specifically strengthen his vision, hearing and other senses.
Therefore, following the beating energy in his field of vision, it was as if a loudspeaker was turned on in his ears, and suddenly there were many noises from upstairs and downstairs. And when he worked hard to adjust the sound reception range, and finally concentrated it into a smaller range, he suddenly heard vague words in the distance.
"Is it him?"
"How could it be him?"
"He almost killed you..."
"This guy is a monster!"
Then, a slightly hoarse female voice said bitterly: Jiang Tian immediately locked the identity of the other party. He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, this is really a narrow road for enemies! I didn't expect that in a place like this, I would encounter a seductress and fail to assassinate him, but he would escape naked from the soup pool.
The next moment, he calmly called Zhang Wusheng over and asked him to buy him some hangover fruits, but he secretly stuffed a note inside. Then while continuing to enjoy the banquet, he listened attentively to the other party's movements and inquired with interest about the background of the guests and the private rooms upstairs.
After a while, the prying eyes from upstairs were still there, but they still stopped talking actively; and Zhang Wusheng, who went to buy fruit, also appeared on the street. Jiang Tian also said goodbye and went to change clothes. Then, under the guidance of the servant, he came to the toilet under the stairway where there were fragrant flowers and clean water.
However, the next moment the door was pulled up, Jiang Tian rolled out of the window sill as light as a butterfly and appeared quietly at the top of the stairs on the upper floor. Immediately, he passed through the high-end compartments on the fourth floor, which was relatively open to waiters coming and going, and arrived at the private room area exclusively for VIPs on the fifth floor.
Here, it is like finding peace in the midst of the hustle and bustle. With the thick curtains and carpets, the noise and bustle downstairs are far away, making it seem somewhat quiet, elegant and quiet. Even the serving Huafu waiter stood far away at the entrance of the stairway, just waiting to be called.
In the winding circular corridor, there are more than ten private rooms and suites, only two of which are lit with lights, and the curtains in front of the carved doors are lifted; and Jiang Tian went to one of the suites at the end of the corridor according to his impression. In front of the door, I knocked lightly and heard an impatient voice inside;
"Get out!" The person who didn't know what was going on inside roared angrily: The next moment, Jiang Tian had finished accumulating his strength and suddenly kicked out; there was a dull sound; the thick carved door, together with a human body hiding behind it, Caught off guard, he spurted blood and flew away.
And when the debris from the broken door burst out, Jiang Tian did not hesitate, and pierced the swaying curtain on the side with his sword; a large amount of blood and sharp screams suddenly spattered out. In an instant, swords crossed like snakes on both sides strangled Wuxia in front of him.
However, he grabbed half of the carved door panel with his free hand, blocking and holding it in an instant; then he pushed it back unceremoniously and roughly, slamming it into the arm of the attacker who leaned out; and then, with a flash of light, the attacker was leaning out. As the sword light passed by, two bloody broken wrists bounced on the ground.
At this time, Jiang Tian had already seen the graceful and graceful woman standing on the edge of the railing, wearing a long skirt that reached half her arms and chest, and was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but smile with his white teeth: "After putting on the dress, I almost didn't recognize you."
