After Hong Chen finished speaking, he observed the expressions of the fat and thin people. The thin man's expression was calm, but the fat man laughed softly and said: "Haha! Friend, what do you mean by this? Master Su is obviously in love with him.
What does the quarrel and entanglement have to do with the two of us?"
Hong Chen continued: "When I say you, I don't just refer to you two, but to the group of people, including you, who came to Master Su to forge weapons, which you called 'brothers' before.
Help people.”
The fat man's smile disappeared immediately, and the fat on his face was no longer loose, but gradually became stiff and rigid, looking serious but also a little funny. The thin man frowned slightly and said to Mr. Su: "Uncle and aunt, please take care of me first.
Master Su, it’s best to get some warm water to wipe his body. We have something to say with this friend, so let’s talk in the backyard of your residence.”
Mr. Su knew that the origins of the guests were not simple, so he nodded and said: "Guest, please be kind. My wife and I will be watching Liangjing. If anything happens to him, I will go and inform you."
The fat and thin people walked to the backyard with Hong Chen. The fat man asked: "I wonder what your friend's surname is? Where can you find a job?" Hong Chen replied: "My surname is Hong, and I just wander around on weekdays and have nothing serious to do. You two also
Gao, why do you work?" The fat man said nothing and looked at the thin man. The thin man said, "My surname is Li, and his surname is Wang. As I said before, I look after other people's homes and homes."
Hong Chen asked again: "What about your brothers?"
The thin man said: "They are just like us, they are just martial arts masters."
Hong Chen shook his head straight: "If he is just an ordinary guarding martial artist, Master Su will definitely not refuse to forge weapons for you, and it will not be the reason for him to be threatened by Hu Yinyin."
As soon as these words came out, the thin man surnamed Li and the fat man surnamed Wang both breathed more rapidly. Fatty Wang looked Hong Chen up and down in surprise and said, "Are you from the government?"
"No." Hong Chen said, "I am not very interested in your identity, but I hope you can help Brother Su. Brother Su is a very good person, and I want him to live a better life in the future. So I hope
, you two can tell me frankly and reveal the information about you and your companions, so that we can discuss how to help Brother Su get out of the current predicament."
Fatty Wang asked Fatty Li, "Tell him?" Fatty Li thought for a while and then said, "Friend, it's not that we don't want to help Master Su, it's just that we don't know the hidden truth. I hope you can tell me."
Hong Chen briefly told Fatty Wang and Fatty Li what Su Liangjing told him and Ji Cha in the morning. Then he said, "I can tell that you and the group of people who asked Brother Su to forge weapons before,
They are roughly in the same group. Ordinary Jianghu people will not be subject to such strict supervision by the court - could it be that you are members of the Huangtian Sect?"
Fatty Li said: "The two of us have nothing to do with the Huangtian Sect. If the court suspects that we are traitors to the Huangtian Sect, we may not be able to save our heads by hiding everywhere. How can we have a chance to move around in Tianjing? In fact, we are really human beings.
The martial artist who looks after the home and the courtyard is just a person with a special status and is subject to
Under the strong supervision of the imperial court, even our subordinates were regarded as extremely unstable and turbulent elements and were strictly disciplined. Even weapons were confiscated when we entered the city. No one in Tianjing was willing to sell them to us.
Weapons, there are even fewer masters who are willing to forge weapons for us."
"Who do you work for, and why should you be so controlled by the court?" Hong Chen asked curiously, "Even the craftsman who forged your weapons will be found guilty of committing a serious crime."
Fatty Wang said: "Look at how you are also a master of martial arts. You have already talked about this, and you still can't guess it?"
Hong Chen said: "I only know that the imperial court is very afraid of people from the Huangtian Sect. As for other sects, gangs, and even the knights and knights, they can basically bring their own weapons and there will not be such a big control."
Fatty Li said: "Then let's make it clear - our master is the 'King of Yan'."
"'King Yan'?" Hong Chen had never heard of this name before and asked, "Who is King Yan?"
The two faces, one fat and the other thin, were suddenly filled with incredible expressions: Everyone who has read some history in Dayu should know about King Yan. Fatty Wang said with a little anger: "Friend, don't make fun of us!"
Hong Chen was confused: "I really don't know who King Yan is."
"Since you don't know about King Yan, let me tell you about King Yan."
Fatty Wang took several deep breaths, and then finished Xuanhe's words in one breath.
"The nine states in the world have been divided and reunited for thousands of years, and countless dynasty changes have taken place. Three hundred years ago, the dynasty named 'Daxin' unified the nine states, but fell into division after just over a hundred years, and the feudal princes from all sides continued to war.
At most, there are dozens of countries in the world that are self-reliant, and all living beings are in ruins, with dead bones everywhere.
"Later, the country named 'Dayan' occupied most of Tianzhou and a small half of Yunzhou, and became the largest and most powerful princes at that time. Yan practiced benevolent government, the monarchs were light on corvee and low on taxes, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. For a time, the world was prosperous.
, I wish to go north to Yandi.
"However, the king was not ambitious, and his ministers wanted to strive for hegemony. At that time, there was a general named Zhao Jiumei who looked down upon the wolf and was very ambitious. He formed a clique in the army for personal gain and led his troops to rebel. One hundred thousand elite troops came to the capital of Yan.
"At that time, the Emperor of Yan also had 50,000 troops to defend the city, which was more than enough to hold out until King Qin's troops came to rescue him. However, the Emperor of Yan could not bear the suffering of the people of the Yan Kingdom in the war, so he climbed onto the city wall and abdicated the throne to the throne on the condition that he could not increase taxes or heavy labor.
Zhao Jiumei.
"Thus, Zhao Jiumei became Emperor Gaozu of Dayu, and the capital of Yan, Tianyan City, became Tianjing. In order to win the reputation of benevolence and stabilize the people's hearts, the emperor of Yan was named the King of Yan. The lineage of the King of Yan has lived in Tianyou in the north for a long time.
In the city, successive dynasties sent their princes to Tianjing as pledges.
"Last year, the previous King Yan died of a sudden illness. The prince inherited the throne, but he also fell ill in Tianjing. King Xiaoyan has been living in Tianjing to recuperate. The ministers in Tianyou City are worried about King Xiaoyan's safety, but they cannot let the vassal king
After entering Tianjing as a civil servant and military general, he resigned from his position and entered the capital as a Jianghu person. While protecting King Xiao Yan, he sought medical advice for him and taught him martial arts and physical fitness.
"But the imperial court not only prevented them from finding reliable doctors, but even the craftsmen who forged good weapons for them were punished and exterminated."
Fatty Wang said this in one breath before he was done.
Although Hong Chen couldn't understand many of the words, he roughly understood: "You two and your companions are all the subordinates of King Xiao Yan. The imperial court does not allow King Xiao Yan's subordinates to have good weapons, and will kill them.
You craftsmen who forge weapons.”
Fatty Wang added: "Actually, it's not that serious. If a craftsman only forges one or two weapons for us and is found out, at most he will be charged with the crime of forging weapons for bad elements and be fined a large amount of money.
Just suffer some pain in jail and never do business with us again. But Master Su’s
The situation is that he has received dozens or hundreds of orders from us. At present, most of the weapons and almost all hidden weapons used by King Xiaoyan are from his handwriting. If the account book written by Hu Yinyin really records these completely... The imperial court
It can even be said that Master Su is planning a rebellion, and his life will definitely not be saved."
Hong Chen said: "Brother Su was convicted because of you. You have to help Brother Su find a way."
Fatty Wang sighed: "That's true, but it's really hard for us to help Master Su. If Hu Yinyin is just an ordinary woman, we can go to her house at night and kill her without any problem! The worst is if she is found out,
One person does the work and the other takes responsibility, so why not exchange one life for Master Su's life? But you have also seen that Hu Yinyin has a cousin from the Ziyi Guard of Guiyi Division. The two of them estimate
Ji has long been colluded, and even killing Hu Yinyin will not help. If Chen Shuye is attacked, the deputy commander of the Ziyi Guards of Guiyi Division can also be regarded as an official of the court. Once exposed, King Xiaoyan will definitely be implicated. The court has already
I just wanted to harm King Xiao Yan, but thanks to the protection of my loyal subordinates, I didn't let the court succeed. If I leave a tail in this kind of thing, there's no guarantee that the court won't take advantage of it."
Fatty Li suddenly said: "It is a bit difficult to eradicate this matter. But there should be no problem in saving Master Su's life. It just depends on whether he is willing."
Hong Chen looked at Fatty Li: "How do you say this?"
Fatty Li said: "Those of us are staying in Prince Xiaoyan's mansion for the time being. We will find an opportunity to bring Master Su and the uncles and aunts of the Su family in and hide them. Even if the court orders people to search, we can still cover it up."
