Yu Jun

Chapter 290 Destruction
The prince of Jiyang County found the study, pushed down the bookshelf, and saw a vase on the table with a green chrysanthemum as big as the mouth of a bowl inserted in it. The vase and the flower were smashed to pieces on the ground.

Lifting his feet, he crushed the green chrysanthemums into mud. There was a book scattered among the books he was reading. There were several pieces of insect-repelling fragrant leaves in it, one almost every two pages, which shows that Wu Jin cherished it.

I picked it up and saw that it was the "Book of Changes". I turned to the title page and saw densely written words that were given to someone by someone. When I turned another page, I saw Wu Jin's name.

"Zhao Ji presents it to his disciple Wu Jin."

He felt that the name Zhao Ji was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. He only knew that this book must be something Wu Jin cherished. He immediately separated the book with his hands and tore it apart with force. With a "stab" sound, the book was divided into pieces. Two halves.

After tearing it in two, he still couldn't understand his hatred. He threw one half away, grabbed the other half, tore it into pieces, and threw it over his head like a goddess scattering flowers.

Reaching out to grab the remaining half, he suddenly had a sudden idea and raised the half with several words of gratitude written on it to the oil lamp.

Old books are dry and will ignite when exposed to fire, and will soon lose a corner.

Prince Jiyang burst out laughing, completely unaware of the sudden silence outside.

The King of Wei and the prefect were stunned when they saw the mess in the courtyard, and when they saw a cluster of flames rising in the study, they were stunned for a moment.

Behind them, Wu Jin returned in a hurry. The moment he saw the light of the fire, he pushed aside the two door gods at the door and rushed into the study. He saw half of the book in the hands of the Prince of Jiyang, half of which was burned on the fire. On the cover, "Yi Yi" The word "Sutra" stood out in front of his eyes, and the fiery red light and the black-gray fragments falling to the ground stung his eyes.

The Prince of Jiyang was still holding half of the book. He rushed forward, grabbed the wrist of the Prince of Jiyang, grabbed the book, pushed the Prince of Jiyang away, put the book on the ground, slapped it hard, and extinguished the flames. .

The prince of Jiyang County took two steps back. His feet were tripped by something that collapsed. His heavy body hit the ground with a loud sound. Only then did the King of Wei and the prefect outside come to their senses. They rushed into the house and carried one person to the other. With one arm, he helped Prince Jiyang up.

King Wei helped King Jiyang stand firm while looking at the tragic elephant in the study. When he looked at Wu Jin again, his heart trembled.

He had never seen Wu Jin so out of sorts.

Wu Jin knelt on the ground, his hands covered with black ash, and tremblingly patted away the burnt parts of the book, his eyes straight, showing a dazed expression.

Half of the book was burned to ashes. He carefully opened the title page and touched the remaining writing. After finding that there was only half of the book, he searched all over the floor for the other half.

There were scattered pieces of paper all around. One piece of paper was torn into several pieces. Wu Jin gathered the pieces to his side, smoothed them, and checked them, but he couldn't find them completely.

He looked at the shredded paper, residue, and ashes in front of him, and was at a loss. He suddenly hugged the pile of waste paper in his arms, crossed his arms tightly, and bent down deeply, with a hard and trembling spine printed on his clothes.

It was like countless swords were inserted into his body, leaving him unable to escape. The silent hysteria and suppressed shouts in his heart were all heart-shaking.

He didn't cry, or even expressed an expression. He just leaned over and hugged the "Book of Changes" that he could never recover.

This gentleman who did not bully the darkroom was so sad and angry that he lost his voice and lost his composure.

King Wei was shocked when he saw it. He bent down and took a look at the writing on the shredded paper. He saw that the writings were not of the same type, and each type was written by everyone. I am afraid it is a priceless unique copy.

Not only is it an original copy, but it may also be a gift from a mentor.

He glanced at the Prince of Jiyang and whispered to the magistrate to clean up the mess. The Prince would pay double compensation for anything damaged.

The prefect couldn't say a word other than smiling apologetically. His eyes even turned black and he didn't know how to deal with it.

A Hanlin scholar, the emperor's private person, the imperial minister, a compatriot of the emperor, a brotherly brother, and the king of the county, who is he?

After King Wei said that, he urged Prince Jiyang to go out. When he reached the door, he turned his head and glanced at Wu Jin.Wu Jin also looked up at him, his eyes slow and cold. King Wei felt cold, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only leave with Prince Jiyang first.

The two of them got into the carriage together and did not return to the palace. Instead, they went to the restaurant. After the bartender served refreshments, they retreated, leaving only their close entourage to wait in the room.

The prince of Jiyang County took off his crane cloak, threw it to his entourage, filled a cup of wine, poured it into his mouth, and put the empty wine cup on the table: "Bullshit!"

King Wei stretched out his hand and poured a cup for him: "Aren't you afraid that he will sue you in the court tomorrow?"

Prince Jiyang drank another drink happily and sneered: "Am I afraid of him?"

He took a piece of pork head meat with chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty will not hurt the brotherhood for outsiders. At most, he will scold me a few words and punish me with a few more months of rice."

Putting down his chopsticks, he shook the jug and took a few sips at the jug. He then put the jug down and wiped his mouth: "If he dares to complain, I will smash it again!"

He pointed at the bacon and said, "Today's meat is smoked better than last time."

King Wei took a sip and said, "I'm afraid he won't tell me."

He thought thoughtfully: "If you sue, it's just a verbal dispute. If you don't sue, your life will be at stake. Wei Qi humiliated Fan Ju, and Fan Ju defected to Qin. Ten years later, he killed Wei Qi to avenge his shame. Scholars can endure and plan." .”

"Ten years?" Prince Yang ate his meat and said, "I am a villain, I can't wait ten years for a gentleman, so I must get rid of him before he takes action."

He then frowned: "Have you found any clues about him?"

"I didn't find it." King Wei leaned back, put his hands on the armrests of the chair, and yawned, "There is no need for evidence for an unfounded crime."

He stretched out his hand to knead the roots of the mountain: "The one your Majesty is afraid of is the Mo family. As we all know, Wu Jin lives in Kuanzhou with the Mo family and has served as a servant and steward of the Mo family. There were also rumors that the Mo family intended to recruit Wu Jin as their son-in-law. As long as they let him He and General Mo have an affair in Kyoto, so he must die."

The Prince of Jiyang County was eating and drinking, shaking his head with a mouth full of oil: "Wu Jin avoids suspicion and doesn't go to the general's house, so how can he have any privacy?"

"What if General Mo is in trouble?"

Prince Jiyang put down his chopsticks, frowned, and thought carefully: "If it were me, I wouldn't know it, you wouldn't know it, and the prince wouldn't know it either. What I can think of, no matter how noble and upright the person is, Wu Jin wouldn't know it. He was born into poverty and has parents and brothers at home. If he takes General Mo's side, he will destroy his own future and even his family will be affected by it. He won't do it."

King Wei shook his head: "Wu Jinhui is easy to break when he is too strong. In fact, it is best to deal with such a person."

He tapped his fingers gently with the singing voice coming from outside, and he already had a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which could not only eliminate the serious troubles in His Majesty's heart, but also get rid of Wu Jin.

"The weird one - Wang Yunsheng's son is still in Kyoto?"

"Here," Prince Jiyang picked up the chopsticks again, "I can't do anything, I'm not as good as his father."

"He has his uses," King Wei thought for a while, "Don't let him go."

"Can't go."

Just as he was talking, there was a gentle knock on the door. The attendant stepped forward to open the door. Standing outside the door was King Wei's chamberlain. The chamberlain walked in, closed the door, walked to King Wei, leaned over and said, "General Mo." We did have a banquet with Qi Chang, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy."
