"Who are you?" In the temporarily requisitioned convenience courtyard wing of Dayun Temple outside Yangzhou City, Jiang Tian looked at the person in front of him in surprise. The opponent has partially transformed into a ghost but has not completed the transformation, so his head and face are bald and hairless, and his skin is wrinkled and green.
"Jiang Xian...you really don't recognize me." The other party, who was so weak that he could only lie on the bed, said in a hoarse and difficult voice: "I still remember the incident in Youyuan. I haven't even thanked you properly, but it has already passed. It seems like I have been there for a long time. Jiang Xian is vague, but I have become like this."
"Shen Xunjiao?" Jiang Tian couldn't help being shocked, and he immediately remembered: But it was hard to imagine that he was the one who had taught Shen Yizhi in Beijing University's courtyard with gentleness, elegance, and propriety; and what kind of situation he had encountered before he could It will become like this, a human being, a ghost, not a ghost!
"I have become like this and it is irreversible. I can only die to be freed." Shen Yizhi gasped fiercely again: "But please save my roommate. She accidentally discovered something terrible. It’s a big secret, I’m afraid it’s going to be in danger. I just hate that I’m incompetent as an elder brother.”
"Neither could he detect the relationship early, nor could he share her worries and help her." When he said this, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Even if he had the chance to meet her at the end, he could not spread the news for her; instead, he couldn't help her. I hate that I fell into the hands of those thieves..."
The next moment, Shen Yizhi, who was extremely excited, suddenly passed out with blurred eyes and weak breath. Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and immediately asked someone to bring a box. After opening it, he took out one of the several rows of layered needle tubes and pierced his heart.
This is one of the latest research and development results of the medical department of Xijingli Hospital; an emergency injection drug made from specific types of viscera and spinal cord extracts. These include special nutritional ointments, restoratives and refreshing agents, but using too much will aggravate blood vessel pollution.
And as the refreshing potion from this syringe was injected into the body, the next moment, Shen Yizhi, whose breath became weaker and weaker, struggled suddenly like a fish re-entering the water and hissed: "Hurry, my little sister is in danger..." However, he lost control of his emotions and choked up with tears streaming down his face:
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have selfishly handed over the letter my little sister gave you before leaving Beijing to Qingqi Garden..." Hearing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. It was as if the melon was eaten by me; I suddenly remembered the cute and soft girl from back then.
"Not only was I wrong, but the choice of my family was also wrong. I completely misjudged the wrong person." Then, I heard Shen Yizhi continue to talk with regret: "It seems like a well-chosen marriage, but it turns out that I know the person and the person, but I don't know the person." My heart! It also directly sent my little sister into an unpredictable and dangerous situation."
"Jiang Sheng... I ask you for help in the name of the Shen family." The next moment, he was about to faint from emotion again. He suddenly grabbed Jiang Tian's arm and said, "They all say goodbye." If you have extraordinary means and great powers, can you bring my little sister back for me?"
"I really don't dare to ask for too much, as long as she can come back alive; in this way, no matter what she wants to do or what will happen in the future, Shen will no longer have to worry about it... At the very least, it can save her from having her bones buried. Even if the soul cannot return to a foreign land, the Shen family will be grateful."
"Wait!" Hearing this, Jiang Tian sighed again and interrupted his incoherent repetition: "You haven't told me the cause and effect of the whole thing, as well as more relevant inside information. How can you expect me? Why do you make a decision so easily for no reason?"
"Okay... okay..., but it's my fault." At this moment, Shen Yizhi, who was hunched over like a little old man, also responded: However, Jiang Tian saw this man who was once quick-thinking and brilliant. It is very unpleasant for a talented person in the capital to look like this.
But I could only endure it and listened to him slowly recalling it while detailing intermittently: "At the beginning, my family asked me to marry my younger sister Southeast, which was probably a plan to avoid the limelight..." However, he said As he talks, he will occasionally fall into temporary trance and memory loss.
Sometimes, I will suddenly enter into self-pity and meaningless remembrance of the past; and temporarily forget what I just said in the middle. It was as if his physical condition, which had been severely tortured and destroyed, could no longer support him and maintain his sanity and clear consciousness for a long time.
But in the end Jiang Tian listened to his many repeated and contradictory narratives; he was given drugs to soothe his nerves, help him sleep and relax his mind and body. After walking out with deep thoughts, he saw that the morning chrysanthemums and peonies in the courtyard were blooming golden and red, and the fragrance was fragrant. Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Looking back at Shen Yizhi's words, there is actually not much useful content in them, and more of them are speculations and suspicions that lack actual evidence. But his own experience and current situation are the best proof; a dignified bachelor of the current generation is actually covered in filth and locked up with aliens.
How malicious and insulting this is! In other words, how insanely confident. More importantly, Shen Yizhi repeatedly mentioned a name, the pen pal and confidante who had been exchanging letters with him for many years, and the lady who once met him and made him confused and infatuated.
Her alias in private communication is Qiu Ji. Could this be a coincidence? In fact, just when Shen Yizhi ran away from home, he was still thinking about her and wanted to take her with him to the north, but he found that the other party had been hijacked and threatened; thus, the final opportunity to escape was delayed.
However, although those people did not directly kill Shen Yizhi, they used it to conduct many cruel and inhumane experiments on him; or in other words, as long as he was conscious, that is when he was tortured. When he wakes up again, he is always surrounded by filth and blood.
To Jiang Tian, all of this seemed like many lines with different origins and directions, all of which were connected together at once. Immediately afterwards, the local flying telegraph message in Yangzhou Prefecture also forwarded a follow-up reply from the capital in cipher text, or a piece of exciting good news.
Regardless of Liu Zhan, the Prime Minister in charge of the Third Department of Envoys; or Pei Wuben, the vassal minister of the Zongfan Court, and his brother-in-law Pei Wuben; they all responded quickly at the first time. Therefore, the corresponding authorization document has been delivered with the eight-hundred-mile expedited express; but it also expresses hidden hints and advice.
The general meaning is that since it can be traced to this level, it is undoubtedly a good thing for the court. However, when it comes to the relationship between foreign vassals and Donghai Grand Shrine, Jiang Tian's current status as "Censor of the River Patrol" alone is not enough, and heavyweights in the court need to come forward.
Therefore, Jiang Tian needs to wait for a while in Yangzhou; in addition to investigating and arresting the problems that have been exposed so far, he should not rush to take further actions; so as not to prematurely alert the snake before the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court arrive. , exciting the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, when he walked out of the courtyard, Linghu Xiaomu, who had sorted out the notes on the spot, followed him and said proactively: "Sir, it seems you have made a decision."
"I just feel that some things must be done by someone! It just happened to me this time, and I have such a little ability, I really can't stay out of it." Hearing this, Jiang Tian smiled at her and said: " Why don't you try to persuade me and see if you can change my mind?"
"I am just a little girl who goes with the flow." Linghu Xiaomu smiled and said, "It is only because of the favor of the officials that I am able to reach this point and see such a colorful world. Otherwise, I can’t escape being a caged bird being raised by others.”
"Therefore, I never think that I will be smarter than you in judging this matter. But since you have made your decision, I can only try my best to cooperate. No matter what happens in the future, I will If you have faith in your superiors, you can always arrive in an instant, right?"
"No, it won't be." Hearing this, Jiang Gao waved his hands and said, "Actually, the matter is not that exaggerated. I just want you to continue to cooperate with me and make some daily cover measures. Because, what I do next will not be official. The identity on the surface is no longer of great use."
At this time, there was another notification from the outside world from Congchang Lin Shunyi. A man held a special token and claimed to be the censor Li Xing of Huainan East Road/Yangzhou Prefecture. He hoped to see Jiang Tian in person and provide relevant information of interest. news. Jiang Tian thought for a moment and agreed.
Among the three censors of the Tang Dynasty, the censors in the Taiyuan were the most noble and had the smallest number, usually no more than two hands. However, they had the qualifications to hear about the affairs and directly impeach the prime minister; while the censors in the palace, They are the officials with the most real power, in charge of the palace guards and the officials who patrol the capital.
However, the specific scope of jurisdiction is the broadest, and the one with the largest number of people is undoubtedly the Procuratorate; there are two capitals, sixteen prefectures in the world, thirty-six roads, more than a dozen large and small governors and governors, as well as Tongfan, Yantie, Hegong, There are full-time supervisory censors in fields such as transport, border patrol, and military observation.
Therefore, there are hundreds of official censors registered in the procuratorate; in addition, there are several times more censors. In the beginning, the imperial censors were not full-time officials, and there were no prescribed positions; they were part-time jobs for other motley officials, or job trainees for young newly elected officials.
However, after the reform in Taixing, Yushi Lixing was given more important responsibilities and meanings; that is, as an important help and supplement for supervising Yushi in various places, Yifu was granted the expediency to conduct secret inspections of local customs, customs, and official and private affairs. ; Therefore, it is also called the Caifengshi.
Therefore, in the name of Jiang Tian's "Censor of Patrolling the River", in theory, a number of censors can also be assigned to do things privately. Or, based on the jurisdiction within their duties, request the censor who is conducting unannounced investigations at the location along the way to provide corresponding reports and cooperation.
But this time, before Jiang Tian took the initiative to convene, the other party came to the door himself.
