Gaiden: The Disappearance (6)
Wu Qing looked at the person who was pushing the door in surprise. He was a blue square scarf, white cloth shirt, flat clothes, and his hair and beard were all neatly clad. If such a person was met on the road, he would definitely think he was a talented man. Who would have thought he was a ranger?
Zhang Qing was also surprised and then smiled and said, "Why are you dressing up like this? When you look like this, you really don't look like you."
The man sat openly beside Zhang Qing, as if dissatisfied with the eyes of everyone looking at him, and grinned: "I know something was wrong with me in this outfit, it seemed like I had read a book. Grandma, I was walking on the street today and fooled those who were walking on the street. When I met a broken shop, I insisted on writing the inscription. Damn, I didn't even know how to hold the brush, so I had to say, 'I'm worth a thousand dollars for every word!'"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to you. This is Liu Jian, the official official of the world-renowned prison, and you have naturally heard of it. This is Wu Qing, the captain of Jinling City. His family has been the captain for several generations, and everyone in Jinling knows it." He said to Liu Jian again, "Old Liu, Captain Wu, this is the friend Li Jingshan, who is nicknamed "Thousand People Jue" in the world."
Liu Jian smiled and said, "Brother Li, I heard that you have been traveling around the world all year round and know a lot about this world. I want to know some things."
Li Jingshan picked up the chopsticks and said, "Uh, I'm so tired that I'm running all the way from Yangzhou. I'll make up for it first!" As he said that, he picked up a piece of fat meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He swallowed it a few times, and then muttered, "Grandma, this meat is really bad. When I was in Hongzhou, the meat was so beautiful, it was smooth and soft, and I could swallow it in one bite."
Liu Jian couldn't help but frown secretly, but he didn't show his expression: "Jiangning is not as good as Hongzhou."
Li Jingshan widened his eyes and said, "What is Jiangning not as good as Hongzhou? I heard that Hongzhou is not as good as this broken Jinling? What's the best in Jinling? It's true."
Zhang Qing shouted when he heard this, "Jingshan, don't be so rude!" At the same time, he said to Liu Jian with embarrassment: "My friend has no politeness, Mr. Liu, don't be angry."
Li Jingshan snorted slightly and said, "I know, I am used to running around the world, and I also speak with some swear words. You guys don't have to do it seriously."
Liu Jian was extremely angry with this idle man who was disrespectful to him, but then he thought about it and felt relieved: "After all, this person is not well-educated, so there is no need to be as knowledgeable as him!"
He said hehe, "Brother Li is used to being generous, so he naturally does not follow these common etiquettes. You must know that Li Li is also the one who invites you here this time to ask about the Ming Cult."
Li Jingshan put down his chopsticks, drank another sip of wine, and said slowly: "Ming Cult is a mysterious sect. I know everything about it when I go to the world. It's just that Ming Cult I don't know. Their people act mysteriously, but many ordinary people like their style. Now there are so many believers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. People in the world call them the Demon Cult, which is said to be because they were originally called Manichi. Do you say that there are so many people who believe in such a Demon Cult? Isn't it unreasonable?"
Liu Jian pondered: "Buddhism was called the Demonic Sect when he first entered the Central Plains, but many people believed in it, and later became a great sect. This Ming Cult also wanted to use the superstitious psychology of foolish people and foolish women to expand its influence."
Li Jingshan wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and his white sleeves were immediately covered in oil, but he still didn't notice it: "The leader of the Demon Sect is called the King of Ming. The leader of the current leader is very big, but it is very mysterious. Those who have seen him are the important people in the sect. Speaking of important people in the sect, I know a little about this-
One is his second disciple, Lu Shinang, known as "Xiao Xinling". This man is gentle and kind, likes to solve problems for others, and is a good devil king who can choose from thousands of miles away. The second is Shi Bao, a native of Fuzhou. This man has a sword, which is very difficult to cut iron and cut off the toughness. He is also extremely powerful. Most people will probably be scared when they see him. There is another named Zhou Fu, you should be familiar with it."
Wu Qing was shocked and said, "It's that man-eating demon king!!"
When Zhang Qing saw the people, he looked quite strange and couldn't help asking: "Who is this Zhou Fu? Have Mr. Liu heard of this person?"
Liu Jian sighed: "This person is from western Zhejiang. During the Xining period, it was said that he liked to eat human flesh. At that time, I was still punished for the two Zhejiangs. I had no attention to these wild news. However, in the third year of Xining, I did encounter this incident. A series of missing cases occurred in western Zhejiang. I and Zhao Siming, who was then the prefect of Quzhou, investigated the case. After more than 40 days, I finally arrived at the murderer's home. But I only found a few big pots of human flesh, with oil, hair and residue floating on it. Are you afraid that such a human beast is scary? Unfortunately, we failed to hunt him down that time, and the prefect Zhao resigned."
Wu Qing also said tremblingly: "Yes, my father also mentioned it to me. It is said that this manpower is extremely powerful, has extremely cruel temperament, and has a very irritable temper. The most terrifying thing is that he likes to eat human flesh, especially baby meat!"
Zhang Qing suddenly said in his heart: "Baby meat?"
Li Jingshan left the few people in front of him and suddenly smiled freely and said, "Don't worry about Zhou Fu anymore. It is said that he was sent to southern Fujian by his master and had not returned to the Central Plains for more than ten years. It must have nothing to do with this matter. I just mentioned some of the more core figures of the Ming Cult. Who knew you were so scared!"
Zhang Qing said angrily: "Jingshan, now is the time when I am waiting for a hurry. Do you still have the intention to tease us?"
Li Jingshan picked up the chopsticks again and shouted, "You are worried, not me. Besides, wouldn't you just lose a child? Is it true?"
Liu Jian felt anger in his heart and slapped the table and said, "Nonsense! King Jing has been his country all his life, and now his only relative is unknown. How can we not be in a hurry? You are a street man who is doing nothing all day long. What qualifications are you to talk about King Jing!"
Li Jingshan put down his chopsticks and stared at him, "Wang Anshi is not a miserable thing for our people? Qingmiao Law, Baojia Law, and that kind of farmland water conservancy! They are all fucking liars, and they are good to say, but in the end they have caused the poor farmers to suffer! Wang Anshi has no ability, and only you people regard him as a god. I don't even throw him away!"
Zhang Qing felt that this was too much. Although he was from Sima Guang's side, even Sima's husband had never said that Wang Anshi was incompetent. Li Jingshan was too arrogant! Zhang Qing glared at him fiercely and hurriedly said to Liu Jian who was about to explode: "Mr. Liu, please don't be angry. Jingshan is just a rough man, don't take it to your heart!"
Liu Jian laughed furiously and said, "Okay, what a rough man. Just by insulting the imperial officials, I can punish you! You are still discussing political affairs and slandering the imperial court. If you don't kill your nine clans, you will be lucky!"
Li Jingshan snorted coldly: "Okay, I'm a cold-destined person in this life. I've died since I was a child. I'm the only one of these nine clans. If you really kill my nine clans, I'm really not afraid!"
Liu Jian's face turned red, and Zhang Qing was secretly angry with himself. Do you think his mind was putting on tofu? He actually brought Li Jingshan, who was so angry that he was in front of Liu Jian, the old man. Wouldn't he be angry to anger him? Zhang Qing's scalp was numb and his face turned blue and said, "Old Liu, Captain Wu, tonight's Mid-Autumn Night, let's see below that since it's getting late, it's time to go out to enjoy the moon and celebrate the festival. Why don't we just wait for the banquet and wait until the Jinling Yamen will continue to discuss the case tomorrow?"
Seeing Zhang Qing throwing a look, Wu Qing said knowingly: "It's not bad, it's too late now, and Mr. Liu must be tired too. The prefect specially arranged for Mr. Liu to live in the backyard of the yamenei. Why not go there now?"
Liu Jian snorted coldly, threw his robe, and walked out angrily. Wu Qing hurriedly followed him and accompanied the old man to leave the Fuxian Building with a smile.
Zhang Qing looked at Li Jingshan's indifferent expression, and couldn't help but get angry and helpless. He shook his head and said, "You boy, you still have this kind of virtue in the past few years. This boss is upright and upright, but you are so angry with him. What's the point of telling me to tell you!"
Li Jingshan smiled and said with a smile: "Hehe, this old man is so angry. I said Zhang Qing, calling me from Yangzhou from all over the place, which made me unable to even spend the full moon night in Lixiangyuan. What do you think should I compensate?"
Zhang Qing ignored him and said together: "When you talk about Ming Cult today, did you deliberately not say something?"
Li Jingshan said gigglingly: "That's all I know. The Ming Cult is very mysterious. What can I know?"
Zhang Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't know you since I was a child. If you want to say that you don't know the Ming Cult, you have to know some secrets that cannot be told easily."
Li Jingshan shouted, "Wow! You can even understand my temper clearly. It's so scary. I might die in your hands and treat you as a brother in the future."
Zhang Qing waved his hand and said, "What are you saying! Tell me seriously."
Li Jingshan put on the white-clothed men's clothes and pretended to be serious: "Actually, the young student knows very little, why should you make things difficult for the young student?" Seeing Zhang Qing's unhappy face, he had to say with a crooked mouth: "It's really nothing, but I think what you want to know most is about the young master of the Wang family. It seems that someone said that the Ming Cult appeared in Jinling City, but I don't know who it is."
Zhang Qing was shocked and said: "It turned out that it was really done by the Ming Cult!"
Li Jingshan patted his shoulder and said, "All right now, no one knows if that young man is still alive, and you don't have to concentrate on doing things too much. I still remember someone in the Tang Dynasty said: I am alone in a foreign land and miss my relatives more during festivals. We two have been wandering outside for so long, so we should not be drunk and return tonight!"
Zhang Qing smiled and said, "You can still remember Wang Mojie's poems. The Tang people looked at the moon and missed their homesickness. They were not as unscrupulous as us and never thought about home."
Li Jingshan pressed his fingers against the table and said in his mouth: "On the fifteenth day of August 15th, in the past, the edge of the Apricot Garden by the Qujiang Pool. On the fifteenth day of August 15th this year, in front of the Shatou Water Museum in Shangpu. Where is the northwest looking at the hometown, how many round moons can be seen in the southeast? No one will meet yesterday when the wind blows, and tonight is as clear as in previous years."
Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Good boy, I will continue: the white trees in the atrium are perched on crows, and the cold dew is silently wet the osmanthus. Tonight, the moon is bright and people are looking at it, but I don't know who the autumn thoughts are falling?"
Li Jingshan also smiled and said, "I won't be arrogant with you anymore. When I was studying with you, I was always suppressed by you. I threw away Master's book, held it with my sword and went to the world. Now I am used to wandering and don't want to go back to my hometown."
Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to go back, I don't dare to go back anymore, right?"
Li Jingshan's eyes were scattered at the bright moon outside, extremely bright, and his eyes were a little wet before he knew it. He couldn't help but sigh: "Damn it, I should have a chat with Miss Hongxiang in Lixiang Courtyard, and just talk to you, a stinky man."
Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Don't worry about your Miss Hongxiang. Let's go to the small winery over there to have a drink. Although it is elegant, it is too out of place with you!"
As he said that, he took Li Jingshan out of Fuxian Restaurant and saw that the downtown outside was like a night market, he couldn't help but feel anxious and said to Li Jingshan: "It's better to have a vast ocean and a sky. Sometimes I really want to quit my post and go shopping in the world."
Li Jingshan rolled his eyes and said, "You are on a whim. You must be unsatisfied in the court and envious of coming outside. You don't know how much others envy you! Don't be born in blessings and don't know how blessed you!"
Zhang Qing did not argue with him and walked to the street. At this time, everyone was looking at the moon and worshiping the moon. The city was brightly lit and the shops were not closed. He walked to a small wine shop, straightened the stool, and shouted: "Waiter, have the most powerful jar of wine."
Li Jingshan also sat next to him and added another sentence when he heard this: "It must be the most mellow and strongest, otherwise I won't give you money!"
The waiter hurriedly said, "This shop is made of homemade wine, and it is guaranteed to be the purest and most intense. Don't worry, two young masters!"
Li Jingshan chuckled, suddenly paused, and couldn't help but blurted out: "So he's here!"
