Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

Everyone in Jianghu knows that the three-foot green blade in Nan Xia Zhan Zhao's hand is an ancient sword called Juque, which can cut gold and jade, and cut iron like mud. It is a rare treasure in the world.And tonight, Jin Qian was lucky enough to witness this treasure.I saw this Juque sword, the blade was cold, the cold light was gloomy, and the evil spirit was overwhelming. If it were placed in modern times, it could be regarded as a national first-class national treasure at least.Of course, if the giant que hadn't been resting on Jinqian's neck, Jinqian could at least come up with tens of thousands of exclamation sentences to express his admiration for it.

"Zhan, Zhan Zhan Zhan..." Jin Qian spoke for the second time, but even the word "adult" choked in his throat.

"Jin Qian!" Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice, "Who the hell are you?"

"He, he, who, who?" Jin Qian continued to stammer.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Say it quickly!"

This sound almost scared away Jin Qian's seven souls and six souls, only to see profuse beads of sweat pouring out of Jin Qian's head, dripping down on the giant tower along his face.

Jin Qian was really confused at this time, his heart felt as if a pan of oil had exploded, and it was very lively.

God, earth, can any kind angel sister tell us what happened?Why does the absolutely decent character Zhan Zhao put a sword against our throat? Isn't this the treatment only those villain BOOS can enjoy? Could it be that he has been reduced to a villain...it doesn't make sense, even though we don't look out of this world, But at any rate, his facial features are well-behaved, and he is still a little far away from those treacherous and evil people... Could it be that his identity as a disciple of the Immortal Doctor and Poison Saint has been exposed, and this Zhan Zhao just happened to have a grudge against those two old guys—Jin Qian Another bead of sweat fell from the top of our head—if that was the case, we would not have to struggle to the death, and simply responded to the party's captive policy: frankly be lenient, and strive for a lenient treatment.

Jin Qian was still fighting fiercely mentally, but Zhan Zhao had lost his patience. Seeing Zhan Zhao force the sword in his hand towards Jin Qian's throat, a faint bloodstain emerged.

"Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to Kaifeng Mansion?"

Jin Qian was considering whether to tell the whole story, but when he heard Zhan Zhao's question, his heart skipped a beat. Coupled with the pain on his neck, his mind instantly cleared up a lot.

What is the purpose of going to Kaifeng Prefecture?What purpose can we have?At most, I just want to enjoy a few free official meals and save some private money, and secondly, I just want to meet historical celebrities, what else can I do... This question is really strange, it seems to be related to whether I am a doctor or a poison sage There is no necessary connection with the identity of the apprentice, but it is somewhat similar to the routine questions of those criminals who interrogate the Kaifeng mansion at night... eh?

Jin Qian's narrow eyes suddenly widened a little, carefully looked at the fourth-rank guard in front of him, and thought secretly in his heart: It's unreasonable!Although this Zhan Zhao came from all corners of the country, judging from the observations of the past few days, he is a calm, self-retaining, stable person. Even if he saw Qin Xianglian's mother and son being persecuted in this way, he would not act recklessly. Instead, he put the overall situation first. , putting legal justice first.Now, in the middle of the night, he raised a sword and recklessly broke into the important witness's room, and forced the witness to interrogate—something is wrong, there must be something tricky in it!

Thinking of this, Jin Qian suddenly got hesitant, let out two mouthfuls of turbid air quietly, squeezed his eyelids, and said with a mournful face: "Master Zhan, Zhan Zhan, the villain doesn't understand..."

Zhan Zhao's face darkened, and he shouted in a low voice: "Your words are flashing, and your actions are weird! Jin Qian, you are planning to sneak into the Kaifeng government office, what is your intention?"

When Jin Qian heard this, he immediately shouted loudly, with tears in his voice: "Master Zhan, why did you say such a thing? The villain is wronged!"

Zhan Zhao's black eyes flickered, and he shouted: "How dare you argue?! Zhan asked you, why do you hide your super lightness skills, but don't reveal them?"

When Jin Qian heard it, he wanted to cry immediately, but he thought to himself: Tsk tsk, what are we talking about, you must keep a low profile, keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and never force yourself to stand out.No, I didn't hide my lightness skill well, I caused trouble, didn't I?

But he didn't dare to tell the truth in his mouth, so he had to make up nonsense: "Master Zhan, the villain is wronged! The villain's lightness kung fu was taught by a strange old man. The master never said his identity, and the villain dared not ask. What's more, the master also told the villain, saying that the world is dangerous, so this lightness should not be easily shown to others, so the villain has no choice but to follow suit."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and asked again: "When the assassins attacked that night, you seemed to have a prophet, could it be your master who showed it?"

Jin Qian's scalp was numb, and he thought: Prophet?Come on, that's also called a prophet?That's just because I watched too many TV series at eight o'clock, and I have too much indirect experience!

But I still couldn't say anything, so I had to continue: "The assassin, I don't know at all. I was timid since I was a child. When I heard that Mr. Zhan was not in the government office, I panicked and behaved strangely. I didn't mean it. ! If the villain really had a prophet, he would have run away long ago, how could he stay there and be hacked?"

"Maybe you have ulterior motives!"

"Master Zhan, if the villain had ulterior motives, he wouldn't have stepped forward to save Lord Bao, and he wouldn't have been injured!"

"I'm afraid it's just a trick!"

"..."

If it weren't for a long sword poking at his neck at this time, Jin Qian really wanted to step on the handsome face of the dead cat with two shoe prints.

NND, since I was born, I sacrificed myself to save others for the first time in the world, and I was given such a crappy label as a "bitter trick".

"Lord Zhan!" Jin Qian was annoyed for a moment, full of confidence, sweating stopped, mouth not shaking, eyes widened, and said in a deep voice: "Although the villain is a grassroots person, he doesn't know the big truth, but I also know that Mr. Bao is a rare blue sky in the world. Seeing Mr. Bao is in crisis, why not come forward to save him? The villain has injured his hands because of this, and he still can't use them freely. Mr. Ke Zhan actually said that this move is just a "bitter trick", Is this how the Kaifeng mansion treats the savior?!"

After speaking, even Jin Qian was secretly surprised: It turns out that he is quite eloquent!

Zhan Zhao was taken aback when he heard the words, and seeing Jin Qian's righteous words and stern eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart, and his tone eased a little: "It's so dangerous to visit the son-in-law's house tonight, and you have no excuses. It has to make Zhan suspicious."

As soon as Jin Qian heard this sentence, all the anger in his heart disappeared immediately, his facial features were distorted for a long time, and then he said in a guilty conscience: "It was Master Bao's own order, how dare a villain refuse it." But he said in his heart: It's not because he was hit Mr. Zhan, you "beauty trap"!The shame of modern man--shame!

At this moment, Zhan Zhao frowned and remained silent.

When Jin Qian saw it, Zhi Zhanzhao believed it [-]%, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhan, do you remember that Qin Xianglian and my son were both hunted down by the prefect of Caizhou, if Master Zhan happened to pass by, I'm afraid I would have become a knife How can I get to Kaifeng mansion under the soul of the dead, and besides, it was purely a coincidence that Mr. Zhan passed by at that time, if I say that I have a conspiracy, wouldn't Mr. Zhan also participate in it?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a while, before saying, "Do you have evidence for your innocence?"

Hearing this, Jin Qian's heart sank: If the boat is overwhelmed, success or failure depends on it!So he raised his voice: "Master Zhan, you say that I am plotting something wrong, do you have evidence?"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao raised his sword eyebrows lightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his murderous aura dissipated in an instant, turned his wrist, pulled Juque back into its sheath, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Jin, Zhan was offended, but Zhan's responsibility lies, I hope little brother will forgive me." .”

Jin Qian was taken aback for a moment, thinking: What's going on?This Zhan Zhao turned his face faster than turning a book?How can it be cloudy and sunny in the blink of an eye?

He heard a voice from outside the door: "Brother Jin, don't blame Zhanwei."

The door was opened lightly, and a person walked into the room with a fair complexion, three beards, and an apologetic face, bowing to salute.

Jin Qian collapsed all over immediately, sat slumped on the bed, and sighed: "Mr. Gongsun..."

Gongsun Zhuzi, what are you doing, a psychological stress tolerance test?Maybe it's a bit too advanced!

Seeing Mr. Gongsun walking slowly to the front of the bed, clasping his fists together and bowing to the ground, he said: "Little Brother Jinqian, Gongsun Ce offended, what happened tonight is all my fault, it has nothing to do with Zhanwei."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Zhao hurried forward and said, "Mr. Gongsun..."

"Guard Zhan," Mr. Gongsun stood up and turned his head, "Don't talk too much. I'm suspicious of what happened tonight. I set up this plan to try and offend little brother Jin. It is indeed Gongsun Ce's inappropriate handling."

"Mr. Gongsun, how can..."

"Sorry, both of you!" Jin Qian suddenly inserted one of his heads, half of his face twitched and said: "The responsibility issue can be put aside first, who of you can give me an explanation first?!"

Mr. Gongsun and Zhan Zhao were stunned at the same time, seeing that Jin Qian's complexion was livid, the corners of his mouth were cramped, and there was only a slit in his slender eyes, he couldn't help being a little funny.

"Cough, little brother Jin, let me explain." Mr. Gongsun cleared his throat, and then narrated what happened that night.

The more Jin Qian listened to the black lines on the top of his head, the denser they became. At the end, he was already full of black lines twitching.

It turned out that Mr. Gongsun became suspicious on the first day he arrived in Kaifeng Mansion.

"That day, when Guard Zhan returned home, Qin Xianglian's mother and son were all very surprised, but only little brother Jin was calm as usual. After getting off, I learned that Guard Zhan never revealed his identity along the way. It seems that I knew about this earlier, so I had to make me suspicious." Mr. Gongsun recalled sitting on a round stool.

Jin Qian hurriedly explained: "That's because I was too surprised, so I lost my expression."

Mr. Gongsun nodded, and said: "I also thought the same way, but the little brother's behavior on the night of the assassination was really unbelievable. In addition, the little brother has a superb lightness kung fu, and he has never even seen the guards. We wait I'm afraid that the little brother's identity will be unknown and he will try to harm the adults, so I..."

"So——" Jin Qian raised his eyebrows, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said with his arms folded, "You and Mr. Zhan came up with this trick of asking questions in the middle of the night. Don't ask, tonight Visiting the son-in-law's mansion is what you have discussed a long time ago! I am afraid that Mr. Zhan already knew the whereabouts of Qin Xianglian's children. He went tonight just to make sure whether I was involved with the son-in-law's mansion. Mr. Zhan, how can I behave? Suspicious."

But I said in my heart: If there is something suspicious, I will be a ghost, I almost lost my way and didn't get out.

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Jin is joking. Brother Jin is quick-witted. Zhan admires him."

Jin Qian said heartily: Admire the bird!If it weren't for being blinded by beauty, how could we, a dignified future person, fall into this kind of vulgarity? ——These two guys, knowing that we have nothing to do with that Chen Shimei, still forced a confession from themselves in the middle of the night, it's shrewd and terrifying.Tsk tsk, I'm really unlucky, I can't choose a place, but I choose this Kaifeng mansion where "human spirits" gather.

As soon as he thought about it, Jin Qian felt more and more wronged tonight. This night, the three major mountains of physical labor, mental labor, and psychological oppression fell all together, and someone even scratched his neck for nothing. The more he thought about it, the more bored he was. The doorkeeper blurted out: "Master Zhan has worked hard too, presumably Mr. Zhan's sweet smile is hard to find!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jin Qian felt something was wrong, and couldn't help but feel chills, fearing that Zhan Zhao would be upset and try the sword on himself, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, so he couldn't help but look up.

I saw that Mr. Gongsun covered his face with his palms, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he seemed to be laughing.

Looking at Zhan Zhao again, his waist is straight, his figure is stiff, his handsome face hangs down slightly, and his complexion is awkward. Jin Qian even suspects that because the light is too dim, he is dazzled. Why is Zhan Zhao's cat ears a little red? sign.

"It's late at night, Zhan Zhao will take his leave first."

After finishing speaking, Zhan Zhao turned around and left, his figure seemed to be glimpsed in a glimpse.

Jin Qian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Mr. Gongsun stood up slowly, raised his eyebrows, looked Jin Qian up and down several times, and said: "Actually, I am not wrong about one thing, the little brother is indeed not very human. Since the day Zhan Huwei came to Kaifeng, there has never been anyone How dare you..."

After talking half a sentence, Mr. Gongsun stopped and said nothing, cupped his hands and said: "Little brother Jin, rest early, recover your spirits, and you will need your help tomorrow."

Only then did Jin Qian come back to his senses, and asked, "Help?"

Mr. Gongsun said with a smile: "Little brother, have you forgotten that tomorrow my lord will go to the son-in-law's mansion to bring back Qin Xianglian's two children. At that time, the situation will be unpredictable, and I really need the help of my little brother as a guard." After a pause, he continued: " This time, it’s not a tentative plan.”

Jin Qian nodded, blinked and said: "Mr. Gongsun, what happened tonight, Master Bao..."

"Lord Bao has never doubted little brother Jin." Mr. Gongsun replied with a smile, closing the door and leaving.

Jin Qian felt very relieved at this time: It really is Lao Bao, his eyesight is accurate, and it is not in vain for us to save you.

Feeling relaxed, Jin Qian only felt exhausted, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

-

In the early morning of the second day, Jin Qian was dragged out of bed by Wang Chao Mahan, dazedly changed into an officer's attire, and followed Master Bao, Master Zhan, the Four King Kongs, and others to march to the son-in-law's mansion.Before leaving, Mr. Gongsun babbled for a long time, and he was not willing to let go until he was sure that the plan was correct.

The night before last night, Jin Qian was tossed about by two boring guys for half the night. Naturally, he didn't have enough sleep and yawned all over the place. He didn't wake up until he came to the door of the consort's mansion.

Although I visited the concubine's mansion last night, the night was dark and dark, and I couldn't see anything clearly. Today, the sun is bright and the light is sufficient. As soon as I walked around the concubine's mansion, Jin Qian was amazed.

This consort's mansion is magnificent, with carved beams and painted pillars, towers and pavilions, flower pavilions and gardens. You have to admire it.

Not long after, a group of people came to the front of the welcoming hall.

"My son-in-law, Bao Zheng, Lord Bao, the prefect of Kaifeng, asks to see you." A eunuch leading the way stood in front of the door and called.

Jin Qian suddenly shivered: the eunuch's voice—it's really ugly and level.

A male voice came from the hall: "Please."

A group of people from Kaifeng Mansion walked in.

When they entered the door, everyone couldn't help being stunned.In front of the hall, sitting on the left is a handsome man, wearing a splendid embroidered robe and a purple gold crown. His acquaintance is Chen Shimei, the son-in-law.And on the right side of the hall, there was another woman sitting with a haughty expression, raising her eyebrows and staring coldly.

Jin Qian suddenly understood: this person must be the princess, tsk tsk, this is a rare character, let's take a closer look.Thinking of this, Jin Qian hurriedly looked around.

I saw this woman, wearing a red and pink embroidered phoenix cloud shoulder, wearing a silk skirt with lotus petals, embroidered with a picture of a hundred flowers blooming and butterflies flying, lifelike, fragrant, and a pair of gold-rimmed and silver silk palace shoes on the feet. Beads and jade gemstones, with a head of black silk like satin, tied into a dragon pistil bun, with three painted pearl hairpins inserted on each side, the pearls are exquisite and translucent.Looking at this girl's appearance again, she has willow eyebrows and clear eyes, a high nose and cherry mouth, and her skin is as smooth as an egg, but the pride between her eyebrows is too strong, which ruins this beautiful face.

Jin Qian nodded secretly: No wonder Chen Shimei refused to recognize Qin Xianglian. Leaving aside the innate wealth and splendor of this princess, she is many times stronger than Qin Xianglian's yellow-faced lady just by her looks.But I couldn't help feeling a little worried in my heart: this princess is out, I'm afraid today's affairs will be difficult.

When Master Bao saw this woman, he immediately pulled up his robe and knelt down, shouting: "Bao Zheng, governor of Kaifeng, see the princess for a thousand years, and the son-in-law for a thousand years."

The other people also knelt down at the same time, chanting the same lines, and Jin Qian was also in it, but the words were not standard. Fortunately, there were so many people, and the others didn't hear any flaws.

"Stay flat." The princess on the seat said slowly.

Only then did everyone get together.

The princess looked at Master Bao, and then asked: "Master Bao is not working in Kaifeng Mansion, what's the matter here?"

Master Bao arched his hands in front of his body, bowed his head and said, "Princess Hui, I came here for Qin Xianglian's sons and daughters."

"Qin Xianglian?" The princess pondered for a moment and said, "Who is Qin Xianglian?"

Lord Bao replied: "Princess, Qin Xianglian is the first wife of the son-in-law."

Hearing the words, the princess couldn't help raising her brows, and said angrily: "It's nonsense! The son-in-law is the husband-in-law of the palace, how can I get married?"

Lord Bao raised his head slightly, and said loudly: "Princess, my minister is not lying. Then Qin Xianglian married the son-in-law ten years ago, and they have a son and a daughter. The evidence is as solid as a mountain."

When the princess heard this, her face twisted, and she paused for a long time before she lowered her voice and asked Chen Shimei: "My son-in-law, what Mr. Bao said, is it true?"

Don't look at Chen Shimei's arrogance in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, but at this moment she is respectful and polite. Chen Shimei nodded and said: "Princess, there is indeed such a thing."

Everyone was startled when they heard this, and they thought to themselves: What's wrong with Chen Shimei? She has changed her sex, or her conscience discovered it. Before she died, she refused to admit that she knew Qin Xianglian. Why did she admit it so readily today?

Jin Qian was even more puzzled, and thought: Is this real person Chen Shimei in history not bad?

But Chen Shimei's next sentence immediately overturned this assumption.

I saw that Chen Shimei took out a blank piece of paper from her pocket, unfolded it on the table and said, "Then Qin Xianglian was indeed my first spouse before, but she was divorced by my palace five years ago. Zhang is the letter of divorce!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion lost countenance, and the whole house was suddenly dead silent.

Jin Qian couldn't help turning his gaze to Mr. Bao, thinking: Old Bao, Lao Bao, now that Chen Shimei has even brought out the divorce certificate, and with the support of a princess, Qiantui, the situation is very unfavorable to us, how do you plan to take it?
