The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 115 Clues

More than 100 years ago, Kang Wang Zhao Gou went south to proclaim himself emperor and established his capital in Lin'an. It was called the Southern Song Dynasty in history, and Song Gaozong Zhao Gou became the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.At that time, the ministers of the court were basically from the north. They not only brought the customs of the north, but also brought the official language of the northern court, commonly known as Guanhua. In the following hundred years, the original Mandarin gradually merged with the Lin'an dialect to form a new official language.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, except at home, people in the yamen at all levels used official language to show their close relationship with the court and China. This has become a fashion in the officialdom.

Master He shook his head after listening to Tang Feng's words, and said, "My son-in-law, as far as I know, all the people in the Jinhua government office speak the official language, and I have never heard of any official who uses the local dialect when talking with outsiders. , especially in government offices."

Tang Feng's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, "It's not good, it's self-defeating."

Seeing Tang Feng's sudden change in expression, Zhuang Master He hurriedly asked, "My son-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Maybe there's a cold wind blowing on the road. Father-in-law and son-in-law are going down first."

"Well, it's windy and it might rain, so be careful."

After Tang Feng went out, he went straight to the housekeeper He Dongfu's house.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder, and a heavy rain poured down, splashing raindrops everywhere.

Fang Ling said angrily: "It was still sunny in the morning, but now it's raining again. The rain will never end."

"Rainwater is wealth. It seems that this year will be prosperous."

"Hehe, brother, you money fanatic."

Nearly 2000 million people in the Song Dynasty wanted to eat. Am I not a fan of money?

Song Chengzu thought of Tang Feng's records and said: "Young master, Tang Feng once said that he was in Jinhua for the first time, which is obviously a lie."

"good."

Fang Ling said: "Then why not arrest him first, so that he can be interrogated."

Wen Zhang also nodded in agreement and said, "Miss Fang is right."

"Although Tang Feng lied, it still can't prove that he has anything to do with the case of Gai Jiaotian." I smiled, "Shen Mo has gone to follow up, Mr. Song, why didn't you see Hou Qiang this morning?"

Yi Changjiang stepped forward and said, "My lord, my lord, Hou Qiang has never returned."

Song Chengzu frowned: "Maybe you have found something, Changjiang, you should go and have a look too, young master, you can go back to the inn to rest first."

"Okay, let's go back to the inn first."

About an hour later, Song Chengzu arrived at the inn with Hou Qiang and Yi Changjiang, who were drenched all over.

Wen Zhang poured a cup of hot tea, and after Hou Qiang finished drinking, he sneezed twice and said, "My lord, my lord, it's past half hour today, and I saw Tang Feng and another middle-aged man walking out of Hejiazhuang. It took a while before we broke up. Tang Feng walked towards the city. I knew he was going to the government office to apply for a temporary certificate. The other middle-aged man was holding a basket in his hand and heading north. A person with a certain status. I hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to follow the middle-aged man. I didn't expect that I would gain something by mistake. The road was winding all the way. After about two minutes, I followed He came to an isolated house surrounded by hillside trees and connected only by a path, so it was very hidden, and there were two young men sitting in front of the door, as if they were guarding it.”

Hou Qiang drank another cup of hot tea and continued to tell his story.

"Butler He, you're finally here, we're all starving."

"I talked to your young master about something in the morning, but it was a little late. Is it normal, is the old lady okay?"

"It's okay, butler He, the place you are looking for is so remote, just don't worry, the old lady is normal."

"Well, my son tells you to be careful, you take turns to eat in the house one by one."

After a while, Butler He left with an empty basket, and one of them was still guarding the door and said, "Butler He, go ahead, come early at noon."

"I know, the young master said that things are going well, and I will let you go back in a few days."

"Really, that would be great."

After Steward He left, Hou Qiang carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and then rushed to the city. When he was halfway, it suddenly started to rain, and the mountain road was full of mud. Hou Qiang was not familiar with the road conditions, so he came back late.

After hearing this, Song Chengzu said: "My lord, there must be some famous places there. After the rain stops, I will immediately call the yamen servants to go."

I had a flash of inspiration, could this old lady be Hu Yun's mother? If so, then there is evidence: "There's no need to go back to the government office to summon the government servants. Soldiers are precious and fast. Hou Qiang, you still know the way?"

"Of course it's fine."

"Okay, Mr. Yuan, you take Wenzhang, and Lan Yu follows Hou Qiang to go immediately. If there are still people, be sure to take them all, and don't let any one go. If they are not there, go back to join us near Hejiazhuang. "

"Young master, there are too few people here. I'd better stay by your side and let Lan Yu and Wen Zhang go."

"No, Fang Ling, I, and Mr. Song, Yi Changjiang went to meet Shen Mo outside Hejiazhuang. Don't worry, if you don't come back, we won't fight anyone."

Song Chengzu also hesitated for a while and said: "Young Master, I don't know if there are other guards in that room. Although Hou Qiang is good at tracking, but his martial arts is too weak, let's ask Yi Changjiang to go with him. I will immediately call the yamen servants to protect here."

I smiled: "Mr. Song, but don't worry, I'm worried that the terrain is remote. If someone escapes and goes into the forest, it will be difficult to arrest. Otherwise, the three of them can just go one by one. The three of them together, It's pure cannon shooting mosquitoes."

"Cannons to kill mosquitoes?" Although Song Chengzu didn't understand, he didn't dare to ask further, "Then I'll go back immediately and summon the yamen servants to protect the young master."

"Hehe, Mr. Song, it's okay, let's meet Shen Mo first."

"No, young master, just Changjiang alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect your safety."

I pointed to Fang Ling and said, "Don't worry, I still have the super bodyguard Linger, let's go."

Song Chengzu looked at Fang Ling, but he couldn't see that this cute little girl possessed excellent martial arts.Song Chengzu saw that I had already stepped out, so he had to follow closely with Yi Changjiang.

It was still cloudy, but the rain had stopped.

Hejiazhuang is only one mile away from Jinhua City, and after passing through the city gate, it only takes a moment to arrive.We found Shen Mo who was watching in a gazebo in front of the gate of Hejiazhuang.

After the heavy rain, the pedestrians on the road gradually increased.

It was almost noon at this time, and some passers-by took out their own dry food and started eating.

Shen Mo didn't hear about Steward He delivering the meal in the morning, and when he saw us coming, he said softly, "My lord, Tang Feng didn't go out after returning."

"Have you ever seen a middle-aged man leave Hejiazhuang and head north with a basket in his hand?"

Shen Mo was a little surprised and said: "Master Hui, yes, it's been about a quarter of an hour."

"Ah, son, I'll tell Yi Changjiang to chase after him right away."

"Mr. Song, don't worry, Hou Qiang is not here. No one knows the small road in this mountain, we will wait here." I looked to the north, pointed to a herbal tea shop not far away, and said, "There is only this road to the north. Lu, as long as we can cut off the communication between Butler He and Tang Feng, there is a herbal tea shop there, let's go and have a cup of tea."

Fang Ling took a sip and said softly to me, "Brother, this tea is really bitter."

"Hehe, quench your thirst." I smiled and said in a low voice, "Shen Mo, is there any other exit from this Hejiazhuang?"

"Young master, Hejiazhuang is built on the mountain. This is the main entrance and exit. There is also a smaller gate on the west side. There is a small path leading to the back mountain."

"Well, drink some tea and go for a walk there."

"Yes, son, I'll go right away."

After Shen Mo left, I saw that Song Chengzu seemed very nervous. I knew he was worried about my safety. Although he didn't know martial arts, Tang Feng was able to shatter Gai Jiaotian's internal organs with his bare hands. For ordinary people, it is naturally unbelievable of.

While drinking herbal tea, I was chatting with Song Chengzu about the story of Song Ci's case I saw on TV.
