Chapter 117 Martial Arts Competition to Recruit a Marriage
Since this prescription is in Yu Yi's hand, it means that Yu Yi has found the three people who lived in Yizhuang that day.
When the three people left that day, he didn't warn them intentionally. As soon as Yu found them, he would naturally ask for the truth. The truth was that the three victims were the ones who lived in Yizhuang before, and he rushed there later.
This prescription was irrefutable proof that he had committed fraud, but Yu Yi did not give the prescription to Dali Temple, but returned it to him privately. Why did Yu Yi do this?
While he was thinking nervously, he heard the neighing of Master Hei's horse from the backyard. He opened the window and looked down, and saw Yu Yi and the female detective named Zhang Ziyan picking up Mr. Hei's horse dung.
I don't know whether she heard the sound of him pushing open the window or found that Mr. Hei was looking up. Zhang Ziyan looked up at the person standing by the window, while Yu Yi looked calm and did not look back.
The two picked up the dung balls and left on their own. Yu Yi never looked back at him.
After the two of them left, closed the window, sat at the table and pondered, Yu Yi deliberately avoided Zhang Ziyan when he returned the prescription to him. This shows that Zhang Ziyan did not know that Yu Yi had this prescription in his hand.
This was a purely personal act, and Zhang Ziyan was not present when she obtained this prescription.
When Yu Yi returned the prescription to him, he was undoubtedly bending the law for personal gain and helping him escape guilt. Why did Yu Yi do this?
The two had a brief encounter at Weiyang Nunnery before, but that time he only helped Yu Yi take down the group of evil nuns, and he also let the group of nuns go afterward. Based on this friendship alone, Yu Yi
Taking huge risks to protect him doesn't seem to be enough.
However, Yu Yi did indeed do this, and it was certain that Yu Yi did not do this at the request of anyone, because Dali Temple wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly and did not want to protect him.
After pondering for a long time, I finally thought of several possibilities. One is that the two of them have crossed paths before.
Second, Yu Yi wanted to make friends with him, just like he wanted to make friends with Yang Kai.
The last possibility is that Yu Yi approved of his actions. The reason why he said this is because Yu Yi killed those nuns when he was at Weiyang Nunnery. This shows that this person has a deep hatred for nuns. You must know about lust and caution.
It is a great precept of Buddhism, and Chen Liqiu had previously killed all the officials with bad conduct, and burned all the people in Pingkangfang who were slutty. Deep down in his heart, Yu Yi approved of their approach, at least partially.
No matter what Yu Yi's motives were, this favor was owed.
However, he is not afraid of owing favors, because when people live in the world, they live by friendship. Everyone will receive kindness and help from others, big or small. All deep feelings are about repaying kindness and reciprocating kindness.
There is something accumulated in the process.
If the master had not been kind to him, he would not have gone all the way to Gezao Mountain. If the Zhao family had not been kind to Chen Liqiu, Chen Liqiu would not have rushed into Chang'an to save people at all costs. If Chen Liqiu had not been kind to his subordinates,
, Tan Huaiqing and Cao Chen would not risk their lives to block his pursuers.
People are not afraid of receiving favors from others
, I’m just afraid of being ruthless and unjust, repaying kindness with hatred. A person who doesn’t want to owe others favors is destined to be a ruthless and cold-blooded person, or a hypocritical bitch with masochistic tendencies, wishing that he could not rely on anyone but himself for the rest of his life. It seems that he was pulled by others.
Once you do it, your achievements in the future will no longer be entirely your own merit, and your success will no longer be pure.
After I figured it out, I let the matter go. Since I had slept enough in the afternoon, I didn't rush to close my eyes at night. Instead, I turned over and over in my mind the details of saving people tomorrow. Gu Yan had been poisoned for more than ten years, and he was...
It is the first time to deal with this kind of thing. Even if there is a cure in Qian Jin Yi Fang, we have to go over and over again to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
At the fourth watch, I fell asleep. Because I was worried, I didn't sleep very well. I only woke up after one watch. I opened the window and saw a breakfast stall with a light on the street not far away, so I went down to have breakfast.
When I got closer, I realized that the stall owners were a foreign couple with blond hair and blue eyes. They had fair skin, straight noses, and were tall.
Just as he was looking at the two of them curiously, the foreign woman greeted him warmly, speaking in Chinese dialect, but her pronunciation was a bit stiff.
Yesterday, when he and Ni Chenyi were hanging out, he had seen foreigners, but not a foreign woman. This foreigner woman was in her early thirties. She was tall and big. She couldn't say whether she was good-looking or ugly. In short, she looked like a Chinese woman.
Not quite the same.
The couple sells Hu Geng and Roujiamo, both of which are imported from the Western Regions. The couple both say that what they sell is authentic, but they have never eaten these two foods before and they just think they are delicious.
, I don’t know if it is authentic or not.
Although the couple was talkative, they were quite talkative. Since there were not many diners, they chatted casually and were very curious about their lives. They talked to them while eating.
When I asked them where they were from, they told me a place name, but they couldn't understand it. Even if they could understand it, they wouldn't know where it was.
I asked them how long they had been here, and they replied that they had been here for more than ten years. At that time, there were more foreigners in Chang'an than now, with 40,000 to 50,000 people. However, after Huang Chao's rebellion, there are now less than 30,000 left.
.
I don’t know exactly how many people there are in Chang’an, but thirty thousand is already a very scary number.
The couple's families are all in Chang'an. Most of the foreigners who come to China come to do business to make a living, and some come to study, such as the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty. In addition, there are various craftsmen and singing and dancing artists.
There were also dark-skinned Kunlun slaves, and there were even foreign officials in the court.
Although they are all foreigners, they do not come from the same place. There are Turks, Persians, Indians, and Silla and Japanese from the east.
Because of Silla
There is not much difference in appearance between the Japanese and the Chinese people, so it is difficult to identify the two foreign races. However, the appearance of the people from Persia, Tianzhu and other places who came from the Western Regions is very different from the Chinese people.
The Han people collectively call them Hu people, but they themselves do not like this name. Their favorite name is friends.
When Cao Cao arrived, they happened to meet a few dark-skinned foreigners passing by carrying a sedan chair. After they passed by, the couple told them in a low voice that these people were Kunlun slaves from the southwest border.
Those who came over usually played the role of servants and servants in Chang'an. There was also a kind of Kunlun slave that was darker and stronger than them and came from farther away, but the number of this type of Kunlun slave was very small.
I got along very well with this foreign couple and wanted to stay with them for a while, but I forgot to take out my luggage because I was leaving in such a hurry, so I ended the conversation, paid for the meal and returned to the inn.
The waiter knocked on the door and brought morning tea, which was a good thing at this time. He sat at the table drinking tea and waited, but after waiting until midnight, Ni Chenyi did not arrive on time.
After waiting for another half an hour, I couldn't sit still anymore. Something was wrong. The two of them had made an appointment yesterday to see each other today. Why was Ni Chenyi so late in arriving?
Just when he was worried and doubtful, the clerk knocked on the door and learned that there was a young man named Ni Tai downstairs who wanted to see him.
I have an impression of this Ni Tai. He is a servant of the Ni Mansion. He had previously been ordered by Ni Chenyi to wait for him at the south gate.
Because he was anxious, he did not wait upstairs, but followed the waiter downstairs.
Seeing this, Ni Tai hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then presented a package of things, "Taoist Priest, this is what my lady gave you."
He took the package and opened it and took a look and found that it was exactly what he needed yesterday. "Why didn't she come?"
Ni Tai looked around and said in a low voice, "Replying to the Taoist priest, my young lady was invited to the palace by Concubine Yan. She asked me to send you a message. The contest for marriage will begin at Mao hour three days later.
In the square in front of Ni Mansion, you must go there on time."
Hearing Ni Tai's words, he was very shocked, "A contest to recruit a bride?"
"Yes, at Mao hour in three days, you can do whatever you want, I'll leave first." Ni Tai said and hurried away.
Carrying the bag of things, I stood in front of the hall in a daze. Are you going to compete in a martial arts competition so suddenly?
After thinking about it again, no, the Ni family's martial arts competition to recruit a bride was not sudden. When they were in Longhu Mountain, Ni Chenyi had told him that the Ni family was going to compete for her to marry him, on the day Ni Chenyi hugged him.
But Ni Chenyi did not mention this matter yesterday, and judging from what Ni Chenyi said, the contest for marriage should have been shelved by the Ni family. Why did it suddenly come up again?
And why is the time set at three days later? You must know that the imperial court competition will be held in four days.
On the date of the martial arts contest, why did the Ni family rush to recruit Ni Chenyi's bride before the court martial arts contest?
There is also the Concubine Yan mentioned by Ni Tai. Although he doesn’t know much about the harem, he knows that the concubine is the emperor’s woman. Why did this person summon Ni Chenyi into the palace?
Something must have happened, but it's impossible to figure out what exactly happened because there aren't enough clues.
Since I didn't set a specific time with Yang Kai yesterday, I didn't rush to leave. Instead, I went back upstairs to close the door and think quietly.
On the surface, there are not enough clues, but there is one important point, and that is Concubine Yan. Concubine Yan summoned Ni Chenyi into the palace on a temporary basis. If it had been agreed before, Ni Chenyi would not have failed to tell her yesterday why Concubine Yan suddenly summoned Ni Chenyi into the palace.
Royal palace?
Furthermore, no matter how rich the Ni family is in the world, they should not have a conflict with the imperial court. You must know that competing for Ni Chenyi to recruit relatives before the imperial court's official competition is suspected of robbing talents from the imperial court. Why do the Ni family dare to do this? Is it true?
With the court’s acquiescence?
Also, Ni Chenyi did not mention the martial arts competition yesterday, indicating that the matter had been shelved. Why did the Ni family suddenly change their mind? They didn’t change their mind yesterday, but they changed it today. What happened overnight?
Could this matter be related to the court? Someone in the court wanted to get married to the Ni family, but it turned out that Ni Chenyi was with him yesterday. The other party was worried that something would happen to the two of them, so they summoned Ni Chenyi into the palace to prevent them from continuing to interact.
On the other hand, they urged the Ni family to restart the contest to recruit a bride, because if there was no contest to recruit a bride, Ni Chenyi would definitely choose him, and the other party would have no chance, and this is the reason why the other party restarted the contest to recruit a bride.
There is another possibility, that is, Ni Zhuo did not want Ni Chenyi to marry him and chose to use this method to separate the two. However, this possibility is unlikely because Concubine Yan Guifei of the imperial court was involved, and the reason why Ni Tai dared to
To deliver something, Ni Zhuo must have known about it. If it was really Ni Tuo who was obstructing it, the thing would not be delivered and the news would not be told to him.
This matter is still related to the imperial court, but due to insufficient clues, the conclusion drawn can only be a guess, but this possibility is extremely high.
If the imperial court is really influencing this matter, then his situation is very dangerous. He has become a roadblock and a thorn in others' eyes. The imperial court will definitely try every means to get rid of him. Even if they don't kill him, they will try to prevent him from participating in the competition to recruit a bride.
His mood at this time can only be described as being confused. He really admired Ni Chenyi and liked him very much, but he always felt that he did not like and admire Ni Chenyi. If he really went to participate in the competition to recruit a bride and finally won, then
The relationship between the two was completely settled.
After worrying for a long time, I finally suppressed my messy thoughts, opened my baggage, and checked the things Ni Tai sent one by one to make sure there were no omissions, and then I left the inn with two bags.
Let's put the martial arts competition to find a bride first, and go to detoxify and heal Gu Yan first.
