"It is rumored that more than a hundred years ago, the First Emperor of the Chinese Dynasty was able to defeat an army of more than ten times the strength of the previous dynasty with a small number of soldiers, all because he obeyed the will of God. And this source of providence identified the magic pen that the First Emperor obtained during the uprising at the foot of Longyuan Mountain.
He also used a magic pen to write the heroic words of the rebels' oath of uprising in dragon's blood, which later generations called the Heavenly Edict. When the Heavenly Edict appeared, the sky and the earth suddenly changed, and the sun and the moon lost light. The wise people called it a sign of a change of dynasty.
As expected, the army of the First Emperor of the Chinese Dynasty was invincible and unstoppable since the uprising. The millions of troops of the previous dynasty were like pebbles and scattered at the touch of a stone. Why was the army of the First Emperor of China able to overthrow the previous dynasty with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves? Later generations
No one knows the reason. Later, some people attributed this credit to the imperial edict written by the magic pen. It means that the army of the First Emperor was born from the conception of heaven and earth, so it is invincible.
When the First Emperor passed away, he ordered his descendants to guard this pen and not let it pass into other people's hands, lest it endanger the country of China."
Feng Qi told the story in detail, but Xia Shang was surprised: "I'm afraid this is a legend, right?"
Fengdi started: "The stories that can become legends are believed by some people. It is difficult for me to comment on the authenticity of the magic pen. But five years ago, floods occurred frequently in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the people in the Jiangkou area suffered from floods every year.
It can be said that the people are in dire straits. But in the past five years, the weather in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been smooth and there has not been a single flood. Why is this?"
Xia Shang pondered, bowed his head and said nothing.
"His Majesty now cares for the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and cannot bear to suffer natural disasters. Therefore, he ignores the instructions of his ancestors and secretly sends the magic pen to Jiangsu and Zhejiang every year. He orders General Sun Zhe to write an imperial edict in person, begging for God's mercy. At the beginning of the period, several officials from the imperial court
All the ministers who knew about this objected, thinking that it was too much of a joke, but who would have thought that it would actually turn out to be effective. In five years, there has not been a single flood in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
After hearing this, Xia Shang couldn't help but be horrified. He suddenly remembered that when he came to Baozhilin earlier, he heard a messenger shouting on the road that there was a flood in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The situation was critical, and he ordered officials from various places to urgently send manpower to organize flood fighting.
I was wondering, how could there be a flood in the twelfth lunar month of the year?
Is it because I lost this pen?
Xia Shang couldn't believe it. This matter was really too mysterious, but the facts were in front of him, so how could he explain it?
"My lord...my lord..."
Seeing that Xia Shang was distracted, Feng Qi asked again.
"Mr. Feng, please continue."
"Your Majesty dares to disregard the late emperor's instructions for the sake of the people of the world. This is something worthy of praise. But every year, some traitors eventually leak the news. No one knows whether this magic pen was useful a hundred years ago, but in recent years it has performed well.
But it is real, so some people think that the previous legend is true. They think this magic pen is the key to controlling the fate of the world."
Xia Shang frowned: "So someone started to rob him, and he didn't hesitate to attack people from the imperial court?"
"That's right. His Majesty was furious when the magic pen was lost, and he did not hesitate to gather a lot of manpower and material resources to search for it."
"Then what did you find?"
"It was found that the attack that night was closely related to two forces in Suzhou. The White Sect and the Red Flower Society. These two forces have long been recorded in the roster of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If it weren't for the fact that there were many people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate,
I don't care about these two forces, nor do I care about the many problems today. Looking back today, these two forces have become the two major cancers in the world of Dahua. Unless we, the Twelve Divisions of Jingmen, work together to eliminate them.
Eradication is also very difficult.”
Xia Shang was slightly surprised and did not comment. He just thought about the thing in his arms and secretly speculated whether the pen was as amazing as the old man said. If what he said was true, then the pen in his arms was related to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The safety of hundreds of thousands of people?
"Mr. Feng, I have heard today that rivers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have burst their banks and hundreds of thousands of people have suffered disasters. I wonder if the magic pen can resolve the disaster now?"
"Who knows? There are too many legends about the magic pen, but very few have actually been seen. Who can say that getting the magic pen can resolve floods? But if you can find the magic pen, it will always be beneficial, at least it will not disgrace the emperor's order.
.”
Xia Shang was thinking that if the pen in his arms would help the people of the world, then it would be okay to hand it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But where did Feng Qi and Chang Feng stand? Are they loyal to the emperor or to the world?
Or do they have other intentions? Generally speaking, these two people met for the first time, and Xia Shang did not believe them.
After saying this, Xia Shang didn't ask any more questions, and then Feng Qi also left.
Seeing Feng Qi walking away, Xiu'ang Hu Sang had the opportunity to turn around and ask Yu Ji.
"What are Feng Qi and Chang Feng like? Do you know anything about them?"
Yu Ji shook her head: "Both of these two adults are well-known figures in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Their subordinates are just an unknown and ordinary beauty. How can they have any experience with the head of the Twelve Divisions? Naturally, they don't know much about these two adults.
.It’s just that when they suddenly entered Baozhilin today, Master Chang Feng’s Bailisi people were very quick in their tactics, and all of us in Baozhilin were captured by them without even making the slightest resistance. It’s really embarrassing to say that.”
It seemed that it was impossible to get to know Feng Qi and Chang Feng in a short time, so Xia Shang kept this in mind. After explaining to Yu Ji that he would not be in seclusion in a short time, Xia Shang returned to
Hero Village.
At night, Xia Shang was thinking in his room, but Ruyan was not around to take care of her. The people in Yingxiongzhuang said that she decided to live in a shop for a while, but they didn't know why.
Xia Shang knew that she wanted to concentrate on running the business in Suzhou, so he didn't ask any more questions.
What Xia Shang was thinking about was what we know today about the magic pen.
There was no one in the room, and there was a small pen lying quietly on the table. Apart from its exquisite workmanship, there was nothing unusual about it. But just such a pen caused turmoil in the world. How to deal with it is a question.
This magical pen was of no use to Xia Shang, but it was a hot potato. Not only the imperial court, but also the White Clothes Sect and the Red Flower Society had been keeping an eye on this pen. It is estimated that there were other forces secretly watching.
If there were no such obstacles, Xia Shang could have handed over this pen. It would be best to let this magic pen play its due role, and it would be best to resolve the floods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
However, it is not easy to hand over such an important and critical thing. If it is exposed, it may cause disaster.
Feng Qi and Chang Feng are the best choices, but it's a pity that they know very little about these two people. At least they need to understand each other's position clearly.
After thinking for a long time, Xia Shang could only carry the magic pen close to his body and did not dare to let others know.
After one night, Xia Shang set off early for Shangshangju. I wonder how he felt when he saw it there for the first time, whether he got used to it, and whether he was bullied by others.
Before going out, Xia Shang stopped because he noticed that the window in his room was closed.
