Aoyama Chronicle

Chapter 61 Roster

Qin Jiu's affairs were quickly arranged.When Qin Jiu saw Dafang and Meizi going to look for them together, he was stunned for a moment, and then realized that they should be servants from the same family.Meizi didn't hide anything, she just said that their master was willing to help them and let them go to the mansion in the capital to recuperate.Qin Jiu was not polite either, he told his brothers to pack up their things, and followed Meizi and Dafang into the city.They are skilled and bold, and they are not afraid that others will harm them.However, when they arrived at the house, they lived comfortably, someone prepared meals, took care of the wounded, and even invited a doctor over, and finally left money for Qin Jiu for emergency. Qin Jiu and the others really believed Zhong Yiwen's kindness.

Unlike the days when Qin Jiu and the others rested and recuperated, Zhong Yiwen is now disturbed by the matter of the roster.Everyone knows the importance of this roster. It seems unreasonable not to hand it over. After all, many people have died because of this roster.And if someone finds out that the roster is in his hands one day, it will be a hot potato, which may lead to a fatal disaster.It's ruined, ten years of painstaking efforts have been spent, and I don't know manpower and material resources. Zhong Yiwen thinks he is not so cruel.Similarly, if it is known that the roster was destroyed by him, not to mention other people, even the current emperor will not be able to spare him.Then you can only hand it over, but the problem of handing it over is a big problem. Who to hand it over and how to hand it over are all difficult problems!

Just when Zhong Yiwen couldn't think of a solution, the culprit, Li Zhang, brought half a carload of things to the door to make amends.

In fact, Li Zhang was also very embarrassed, because the people his book boy rescued caused them to be chased and killed. Zhong Yiwen stayed to help them cut off the queen, and then Meizi helped them escape again.After they separated from Meizi Princess Biyou, they arrived in Kyoto peacefully, and they knew that those people must be chasing Biyou Princess.

"Brother Zhong, I'm really sorry. If it weren't for us, Brother Zhong wouldn't have encountered these troubles. Fortunately, you are all fine. I brought all the things in this car to Brother Zhong and you, especially Mei Geer, to make amends. Brother Zhong, please don't refuse!" Li Zhang immediately apologized as soon as he entered the door, with a sincere attitude, which made Zhong Yiwen feel embarrassed to say anything more.

However, seeing Li Zhang, Zhong Yiwen thought about what to do with the roster. There are many officials in Li Zhang's family, so he can definitely send this thing out, which is much easier than him.

Zhong Yiwen directly led Li Zhang to the study room, closed the door, took out the roster, and handed it directly to Li Zhang.

Li Zhang was very curious. He opened it and looked at it. He was a little confused, so he said, "Brother Zhong, what do you mean by letting me read the "Thousand Characters" used for children's enlightenment?"

"Brother Li, you really can't see any difference in this book?" Zhong Yiwen reminded.

"Huh?" Li Zhang was a little curious. He turned the pages of the book and looked at it. The content was indeed the same as he remembered: "It's "Thousand Characters", but this "Thousand Characters" seems to be more refined, no It looks like it belongs to an ordinary family, so it belongs to some princess or princess?"

When Li Zhang said this, he was purely joking. He asked Zhong Yiwen the same way when he rescued Princess Biyou last time, and in the end, a princess really came out.Today Li Zhang is just talking casually.

Zhong Yiwen looked at Li Zhang amusedly, he must be poor, and he hasn't learned the lesson from last time.

Seeing that Zhong Yiwen didn't speak now, Li Zhang felt a little nervous: "Could it be possible to guess again? Brother Zhong, don't scare me. But, even if it's the "Thousand Characters" written by the Princess Princess, it's nothing special, right? ? Not those love poems in the Book of Songs!"

Zhong Yiwen also didn't want to go around in circles with him: "Do you know that Princess Biyou eloped?"

Li Zhang's eyes flickered, Zhong Yiwen knew that this guy must be clear about it, it seems that his Li family's official career is really tough.However, Zhong Yiwen wouldn't blame Li Zhang for being unkind, after all, the less he knew about it, the safer he would be. Li Zhang probably didn't want him to be involved!

"Is this the lost roster?" Zhong Yiwen pointed it out to Li Zhang without going around in circles.

"What?" Li Zhang was taken aback. Staring at the "Thousand Characters" in his hand, he immediately felt that it weighed a thousand catties. ", and turned a few more pages, it was still the content of "Thousand Characters".Li Zhang was a little silly: "Brother Zhong, you are not lying to me, are you?"

Zhong Yiwen gave a blank stare directly: "Who lied to you, can I make fun of my own life? If I go out now and say that the roster is in my hands, I probably won't be able to see the sun tomorrow morning. This roster is mixed with me. In the book from Kyoto, I can guarantee that I don't have this book. Then what do you think this book will appear in my book for no reason?"

Now Li Zhang also understood what Zhong Yiwen meant. Thinking of what happened after they rescued Princess Biyou, if this book wasn't Zhong Yiwen's, it must be in the roster.

"Don't stare at the content of the book, it's "Thousand Characters". This book has interlayers." Seeing that Li Zhang was still reading the book for words, Zhong Yiwen couldn't help reminding him.

Li Zhang immediately picked up the pages of the book and observed it carefully, and it was indeed the same as what Zhong Yiwen said, and now it can be confirmed that this book is a roster.But after calming down a bit, Li Zhang began to doubt again what Zhong Yiwen meant by telling him about the roster.

"Brother Zhong, just tell me what you think!" Li Zhang directly asked Zhong Yiwen.

Zhong Yiwen smiled slightly: "Brother Li, how much do you think this book is worth?"

"Exquisite skills and ingenious workmanship are hard to buy. If it were me, I would be willing to take it for 5000 taels of silver!" Li Zhang now understands Zhong Yiwen's thoughts. This guy simply wants to sell the roster to himself, or to the Li family .

Although the loss of the roster was kept a secret, everyone who should know knew about it.Now in the capital city, I don't know how many people have been sent to search around the official roads, just waiting for this roster to be presented to the Holy Majesty, the rewards of gold and silver are trivial matters, even promotion to a higher position is possible.For such a great good thing, Zhong Yiwen is willing to sell it to them, it is definitely their Li family's luck,

"No, 1 taels, this book is absolutely worth [-] taels!" Before Zhong Yiwen could say anything, Li Zhang himself raised the price on his own initiative.

Zhong Yiwen was a little funny: "Okay, remember to bring money to buy books as soon as possible. It's late, and I can't tell what happened!"

"Can you barter? If yes, I'll pay now, and we'll pay the money and deliver the goods!" After Li Zhang finished speaking, he took out a square box from his pocket, put it on the table, and took it out again. A stack of bank notes came out and added.

Zhong Yiwen didn't intend to sell this roster to make money at first, he didn't have time to find someone to help him sell it, how could he think so much.Just now he asked Li Zhang how much the book was worth, and it was just a joke. He originally planned to give the book to Li Zhang to deal with, but he didn't expect Li Zhang to be so honest.

"Brother Li, me?"

Li Zhang stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhong Yiwen's words: "Brother Zhong, I know you were probably joking with me just now, but when I said that I would spend money to buy this book, I was sincere. Brother Zhong, money is easy to find, and opportunities are rare. What you are giving our Li family now is such an opportunity. Brother Zhong, don’t worry, I will definitely not pay for this silver tael, there are many people in my family who are willing to spend this silver tael, can you understand?”

Zhong Yiwen laughed when Li Zhang said this, and no longer refused: "Okay. Since Brother Li is so sincere, I will sell this book to you!"

"It should be me who wants to thank Brother Zhong for giving up his love!" Li Zhang followed politely.

"I have one more request, I hope you can agree, brother Li, that is, you must not disclose the origin of this book!" Zhong Yiwen reminded.Now that the roster has been handed over, Zhong Yiwen doesn't want to get involved in this matter again.

Li Zhang nodded: "Brother Zhong, don't worry, I will never tell about this. I bought this book from a bookstall with money."

"Didn't it be picked up by the river?" Zhong Yiwen asked back.

"It doesn't cost money to pick it up! Brother Zhong, why don't you understand this?" Li Zhang retorted, "I bought it, but the book seller picked it up from the river. Looking at this The quality of the book is good, it didn’t rot after being soaked in water, so I took it out and sold it, and I bought it because I found it strange!”

Zhong Yiwen laughed, this Li Zhang was really speechless.However, the origin of the roster can be explained clearly in this way, but if anyone doubts it, then it should be what Li Zhang will do.Zhong Yiwen believes that Li Zhang will definitely handle this matter properly for ten thousand taels of silver.

After sending Li Zhang away, the matter of the roster can finally be resolved, and Zhong Yiwen finally heaves a sigh of relief.

As for what the future development will be like, even if Zhong Yiwen is interested, he probably won't have the chance to know. I'm afraid he will have to wait until Li Zhang comes to tell him.The most important thing for him now is to study and prepare for the October test.

However, within a few days, Steward Chen, who had to help Zhong Yiwen keep an eye on the situation in the capital every day, brought back news: the elopement of Princess Biyou of Wang Anle's family had been confirmed.But Princess Biyou was not being honest after being sent back. He still asked people to inquire about a very beautiful young student, about twenty years old.Many people are suspecting that this beautiful young student is probably the one who eloped with Princess Biyou.Now all the people in Kyoto, the young students who look a little better are all in danger, for fear that they will be misunderstood as that person.

Zhong Yiwen was speechless after hearing this, he could believe that the person Biyou County chief was looking for must be him.However, he really didn't want to be missed so much.Please let me go!

Zhong Yiwen now deeply feels that his decision to live in this small courtyard in Tangchi was right. Anyway, there are not many people here and the environment is good, so it doesn't matter if you don't go out for three or five days.If he lived in the mansion in the capital, not to mention other things, but he could not go out because of the rumors, he would be driven crazy sooner or later.
