Qu Jiujiang was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his face turned red. He stood there and laughed twice in embarrassment.
"This person has little talent and little knowledge. He probably spent a lot of money to buy a poem from a certain scholar, hoping to impress the public today. I'm afraid he didn't expect to be exposed by me, so he became angry and uttered evil words. Haha, it's really true.
It is difficult to enter the hall of elegance."
Qu Jiujiang laughed twice and found that no one responded. He turned his head and saw that everyone was looking at him with a look like "Don't you think you are an idiot?"
The look in his eyes just now was obviously not about saying bad words, but about wanting to slap you.
Bailisheng asked tentatively: "Why are you sure he didn't write this poem by himself?"
"There are many allusions that I have never heard of, but when I asked them, they revealed their flaws."
"You haven't heard of it, you haven't seen it, does that mean it hasn't happened in this world?"
"Well……"
"Can't that Huang Xu'er be a strong man near his home? That Helan Mountain is a small mountain near Yunshuiguan. Yunshuiguan is located in a remote place. Naturally, we have never heard of it or seen anything."
"Well……"
Qu Jiujiang was stunned again, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be the one being treated as a fool.
…
Cheng Dalei, Xu Shenji, and Xu Ling'er quickly left the palace, neither returning to the house arranged for him by Baili Sheng, nor to the underground city.
"Commander, is there anyone following you?"
"No." Xu Shenji said: "Master, they seem to have no reason to follow us now."
"Uh...well, what you said makes sense."
Cheng Dalei came to a remote large house in the west of the city. There were no servants or maids in the house, and there were two words hanging on the door - Cheng House.
As soon as Cheng Dalei came back, he took off his official uniform and beard, washed his face and changed it back to its original appearance.
"It's time to do it, it's time to do it, let's start doing it!"
Cheng Dalei lit a firework in the yard. The firework shot straight into the sky and exploded in the darkness.
Outside the front door, a vendor pushing a cart selling makeup and powder was haggling with two girls. Suddenly he was startled, the smile on his face disappeared, he abandoned the cart and rushed over.
"Hey, you don't want to sell anything anymore?" the girl buying makeup shouted.
"I won't sell it anymore, I won't sell it anymore, I'll give it to you."
In the tea house, a storyteller was eloquent and eloquent, which only made the tea guests in the tea house fix their eyes and listen attentively.
When he saw the fireworks outside the window, his expression suddenly froze, he strode to the window and jumped down from the second floor.
"Hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you leaving? You..."
The tea patrons in the teahouse were stunned. They did not expect that this storyteller, who was usually thin and frail, could have such an amazing skill in making light of his body.
A beggar sleeping on a certain street, a playboy drinking flower wine in a brothel, a strong man watching the show in a certain casino... In the dark city, it is like stepping on a landmine, and a nerve that has been sleeping awakens.
There were three people in each of Nancheng, Beicheng and Dongcheng. They looked at the fireworks blooming in the night sky and frowned almost at the same time.
"What is that guy in West City doing?"
Cheng Zhai.
Cheng Dalei moved a Taishi chair and sat under the eaves, wearing a green shirt and leaning on the chair with an expressionless face.
Qin Man arrived with Ah Xi. Qin Man said, "Master, something happened?"
"That person is coming."
Qin Man was startled, and instantly understood the meaning of Cheng Dalei's words, and stood calmly behind Cheng Dalei.
Not long after, Aku also arrived.
"Everything in the dungeon has been normal recently, and nothing major has happened."
"Well, you just stand aside and wait. When everyone is here, I have something to say to you."
Xu Shenji stood behind Cheng Dalei and saw only one person coming in from the outside. They didn't all go through the main door. Some jumped in from outside the wall, and some climbed in through dog holes. The clothes on their bodies were also different, and some were well-dressed.
There are scholars, some are dressed in short clothes, like coolies working at work, and some are in rags and smelly...
And these people did not all know each other. Some of them exclaimed in their hearts when they saw each other.
"Ah! So you are too."
"Now I will order a few people. These people can leave. You are not needed this time."
Cheng Dalei opened his mouth and counted out several names one by one. Some of the people who were called left sadly, while others yelled: "Why don't you need me? Who is there? Am I not better than him?"
"Go away." Cheng Dalei cherished his words like gold.
The long-term personality came into play, and these people left one by one. In the end, there were about eighty people left in the yard.
Bai Yuanfei, the flying toad, was raised by an old ape since he was a child. He can fly over eaves and walls as if walking on the ground. He is good at breaking into houses and stealing people's treasures.
Ah Xi, who once served in the army, was born with great strength and bad temper. He was imprisoned for beating the chief's son to death. It was Cheng Dalei who rescued him from prison.
Ah Ku, who used to be an accountant, was good at mental arithmetic and could figure out the final amount at a glance no matter how complicated the account was.
The mute Zheng San is a killer. No one knows his origin except Cheng Dalei. It is said that this man was buried in the soil for three days and three nights, only waiting for the target to pass by and deliver a killing sword.
Qiu He, the Six-Eared One, is a man who tells stories in teahouses and collects information from all aspects. It is said that there is nothing big or small that happens in Chang'an City that he doesn't know.
Duhun, the mangy dog, the beggar...
Tomb robber Wang Dana, gambler Crow, playboy Qian Ruoshui... Everyone standing in front of Cheng Dalei has his or her own abilities. They have been lurking in the city and doing their own things. Now because of Cheng Dalei's fireworks order,
Meet here at the same time.
"Qiu He, I want you to inquire about a person in the city. I want to know everything about his eating, drinking and drinking habits."
"Who do you want to ask about, brother?"
"Imperial God of War Yang Longting."
"yes."
"Flying Toad, I want you to sneak into the military headquarters at night and steal their business books."
Since Yang Longting has come, the empire will definitely take care of the reception, where to stay, and who will be responsible for protecting him... If it is not the responsibility of the Ministry of War, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.
Cheng Dalei issued orders one by one, and some of the wealthy people in the courtyard who had their own abilities were ordered to leave, while others remained in the courtyard.
It was now certain that Yang Longting would come to Chang'an City in three days. Cheng Dalei sent out his people to find out information about him. All parties acted, and the information about Yang Longting was placed in Cheng Dalei's hands the next morning.
Before the case.
Yang Longting was accompanied by a thousand soldiers from Youzhou this time. It is said that many of them had made military achievements in the war. He came to Beijing this time to wait for the imperial court to award him a reward.
A thousand people... Cheng Dalei paused. It seemed that there was no chance to take action on the road. He could only take action after Yang Longting entered Chang'an.
Three days later, Yang Longting came to Chang'an City and was received personally by His Majesty Emperor Ming. At the same time, that day was also the day when the martial arts exams started.
And Cheng Dalei has already laid out a large net, just waiting for Yang Longting to show up in the capital to demand justice from him face to face.
