When Zhang Yu walks from Scholarship Hall, gale blows, sways his clothing sleeve robe, trees branches and leaves and under tree's shadow also rocked. 张御从治学堂中走出来时,一阵大风吹来,拂动他的衣衫袖袍,门外的树木枝叶和底下的树影也是一齐晃动了起来。 Chief Wang yesterday, is he has the day of Profound Mansion, died in oneself situated in the fine dwelling outside academy. 汪主事在昨日,也就是他出玄府那一天,死在了自己位于学宫外的精美宅院中。 That person took massively with secret medicine who the spiritual strange monster flesh makes, died with a oneself favorite imperial concubine in one. It is said the time whole body of discovery corpse is red, like lifted a moment ago from the steamer. 其人似是服食了大量用灵性异怪血肉制成的秘药,和自己的一名宠妾死在了一起。据说发现尸体的时候浑身通红,就像刚才从蒸笼里抬出来一样。 He always thought that the Chief Wang death and oneself admission letter was taken away these two matters by that person, as if has anything to relate. 他总觉得汪主事的死和自己拜学贴被其人拿走这两件事,似乎有什么联系。 When according to the view of Auxiliary Teacher Song, Chief Wang took away letter on the same day, to him reviles, resembling is academy that because not indignation he enters by self-recommendation, thinks that he is the person of being opportunistic, no qualifications learn/study in academy, therefore does this. 根据宋辅教的说法,汪主事当日拿走帖子时,对他唾骂不已,似是因为不忿他以自荐入的学宫,认为他是投机取巧的人,没有资格在学宫里学习,故才如此做。 But that person must really want to prevent him, that only need process in secret well admission letter, so not only can lose the time, afterward verifies also to shirk, to express own attitude, that ripped letter at the scene also yes, why and can it carrying off? 可其人要真是想阻止他,那只需把拜学贴暗中处理了就好,如此既能耽误时间,事后查证起来也能推脱,而若只是想表达自身的态度,那当场撕了贴子也是可以,又何必非要将之带走呢？ What other intentions does that person have? 其人是不是还有什么其他用意？ He transferred changing mind, learned from the Auxiliary Teacher Song mouth, Chief Wang this person quite likes studying, has the matter is all right goes to Publishing Literature Hall to drink tea, therefore he thinks a person, could obtain some quite correct judgment from that person there. 他转了转念,从宋辅教嘴里得知,汪主事这个人比较喜欢读书,有事没事的时候就去宣文堂喝茶,于是他想到了一个人,或许能从其人那里得到一些较为正确的判断。 After thinking, he takes a step the line to go. 思定之后,他迈步行去。 After the little while, he arrived in Publishing Literature Hall, found here manager Qu Gong in three buildings, he with this, although has seen only several surface, but compares to get along well, after smalltalk several, inquired the Chief Wang matter. 半刻之后,他来到了宣文堂中,在三楼上找到了这里的管事屈功,他与这位虽只见过几次面,可是互相间比较谈得来,客套几句后,就向其打听起汪主事的事来。 Qu Gong cast aside under a great hall the taking a walk crowd, said: „brother Zhang, we change a place to speak.” 屈功撇了眼大堂下方走动人群,道:“张兄,我们换个地方说话。” He Zhang Yu welcome to a teahouse of adequate light intensity , after calling assistant steeped two cups of scented tea, waving makes it get down, under he partly depended to present on vine chair, said with a smile: „The news that Wang Xingtong this person likes studying also really has many people to know, today has 2-3 groups of people to come to here to inquire him, brother Zhang wants to ask anything, although asked, I speak out frankly.” 他将张御请到了一间光线充足的茶室内,叫助役沏上了两杯香茶后,挥手让其下去,他半靠在座下藤椅上,笑道:“汪兴通这个人喜欢读书的消息还真是有不少人知道,今天已经有2-3拨人来这里打听他了,张兄想问什么尽管问,我知无不言。” Zhang Yu also does not have any to conceal, thinks slightly, is repeated same day oneself admission letter by the matter that Chief Wang took away, finally said: „I thought that in this matter strange, only before I and Wang Xingtong, from having nothing contact, looks like in brother Qu, the behavior of that person, seriously is because can't get used to seeing my this person of self-recommendation going to school?” 张御也没有什么好隐瞒的,略略一思,就把当日自己的拜学帖被汪主事拿走的事情复述了一遍,最后道:“我觉得这件事中有许多古怪,只我与汪兴通之前从无有过接触,在屈兄看来,其人之所为,当真是因为看不惯我这自荐进学之人么？” Qu Gong sets out, with the hand starting teaspoon in a cup, raised the head later, said: „In academy some indeed many people rigidly adhere to the old rule not to put, they non- are the person who proper way ’ goes to school naturally are look down upon to these ‚, but Wang Xingtong this person, actually is never what old-fashioned honest gentleman. Long ago he to gain remuneration fee/spent, in newspaper office the article that disparaged the current political situation much stemmed from his hand, master makes him say that what he then promoted anything, today reverses to this, tomorrow will reverse to another, did not have the standpoint, he also never took the moral gentleman to flaunt oneself.” 屈功直起身,用手转动了一下杯中的茶匙,随后抬起头,道:“学宫里的确有不少人死抱着老规矩不放,他们对那些非是‘正途’进学的人自然是瞧不起的,可汪兴通这个人,却从来不是什么古板正直的君子。早年他为了赚润笔费,报馆里不少贬损时局的文章就出自他手,主家让他说什么他便鼓吹什么,今天倒向这家,明天倒向另一家,毫无立场可言,他也从来不拿道德君子来标榜自己。” He ponders smiles, „, but such person, actually stood this side the moral gentleman suddenly, that definitely did not look at the reason of book.” 他玩味一笑,“而这样的人,突然却站在道德君子这一边了,那肯定不是看多了书的缘故。” Zhang Yu pondered, nodded. 张御思索了一下,点了点头。 Qu Gong carries teacup, blows to the tea leaves that above is floating gently, said: „Actually must deduct brother Zhang admission letter to be very simple, Wang Xingtong in the Scholarship Hall chief ten years, is deeply familiar with the key points of documents, he must really want to block you, looks for improper in notice form casually, can hit admission letter, but also asked you unable to say the principle to come, however he can use this method obviously, but actually chose such a type seemed like crudest clumsy, the way of actually not reasoning with, in no way at all does this behaviour seem like that of an experienced individual.” 屈功端起茶盏,对着上面漂浮的茶叶轻轻吹了吹,又道:“其实要扣下张兄的拜贴很简单,汪兴通在治学堂主事十年,深谙文书关窍,他要真的想拦你,随便找一个贴书格式上的不妥,就能把拜学贴打回去,还叫你说不出理来,然而他明明可以用这种手段,可却偏偏选择了这样一种看起来最为粗暴笨拙的,却又毫不讲理的方式,这并不像是一个老于事务多年的熟手所为。” Zhang Yu looks to Qu Gong, said: „It seems like, Chief Wang denounced my these words on the same day, whether can understand for is he intends to transmit, for covers up the oneself real intention?” 张御看向屈功,道:“这么看来,汪主事当日申讨我的那些话,是否可以理解为是他有意传递出来的,为的就是掩盖自己的真实意图？” Qu Gong drank tea, after putting down, both hands place on the abdomen alternately, traded quite comfortable posture leans back, he raised head to look at the above, looked again to Zhang Yu, earnestly says: „Wang Xingtong definitely speaks insincerely, I do not know why he does this, but comes to brother Zhang that admission letter without a doubt.” 屈功饮了一口茶,放下之后,双手交叉放在腹上,又换了一较为舒适的姿势往后靠去,他仰头看了看上方,再看向张御,认真道:“汪兴通肯定是言不由衷,我不知道他为何如此做,但毫无疑问是冲着张兄的那封拜学帖来的。” Zhang Yu cannot help but nod, the judgment of Qu Gong is consistent with his analysis, the goal of that person is basically certain. 张御不禁点头,屈功的判断与他的分析一致,那其人的目的基本可以肯定了。 But did Wang Xingtong result in this thing is also useful? Is it possible that wants to make an issue with this? But he also in academy, not like previously that register book...... 可汪兴通得了这东西又有什么用？莫非想拿此做文章？可他本人还在学宫,又不是像先前那本文册一样…… Un? 嗯？ Thinks of here, his mind spiritual light flashes. 想到这里,他脑际灵光一闪。 This thing I am not necessarily useful to Wang Xingtong, but certain people is actually very useful! 这东西对汪兴通本人未必有用,可某些人来说却是很有用的！ He stands up, to Qu Gong joins palms and bows, was saying: „Many thanks brother Qu dispelled doubt, Yu will take his leave first.” 他站起身来,对着屈功合手一揖,道:“多谢屈兄解惑了,御先告辞了。” Qu Gong also sets out from vine chair on, serious expression returns a courtesy said: „brother Zhang was polite, if there is any question, but asked me again.” Zhang Yu sends out the teahouse time, he seemed said unknowingly, „brother Zhang can know ‚Scholars' Discussion’? Heard for these days quickly to the last act, I think the two sides, if had what sign, may hit as far as possible outward.” 屈功也是自藤椅上起身,正容回礼道:“张兄客气了,若有什么疑问,可再来问我。”将张御送出茶室的时候,他好似不经意的说了一句,“张兄可知道‘士议’么？听闻这几天就快至尾声了,我想两边要是有什么牌的话,可能都会尽量往外打了。” Zhang Yu looking pensive. 张御若有所思。 Had/Left Publishing Literature Hall, his good step by flagging of golden parasol tree branches and leaves blocking on, under the tree shade that in the sunlight is unable to pass walks is pondering. 出了宣文堂,他行步在被金梧桐枝叶遮挡的石板路上,在阳光丝毫无法透进的树荫下边走边是思考着。 Just now he thinks person who a matter, diverted his register of names initially, definitely knows his name, after his killed young salamander reputation passes on, by words that the opposite party hears, that mostly will be some suspicions, but the person of same surname of the same name will be many, will therefore be not necessarily able to affirm, then safest, will be tries to examine his native place and age, and passing experience, will look be the same person. 方才他想到了一件事,当初挪用他名册的人,肯定是知道他名字的,而当他的斩杀夭螈的名声传出去后,被对方听到的话,那多半是会有些怀疑的,但同名同姓的人不少,所以未必能肯定,那么最为稳妥的,就是设法查看他的籍贯、年龄、以及过往经历,看看是不是同一个人。 What that also has conveniently compared with admission letter? On that all should have the record that to have. 那还有什么比拜学帖更方便的呢？在那上面,一切该有的记述都有。 If so, then the opposite party background is very even big, still mostly is not academy upper layer, otherwise can check his specific information quickly, does not need to move unnecessarily. 假如是这样,那么对方即便背景很大,也多半不是学宫的上层,不然很快可以查到他的具体信息,也就没有必要多此一举了。 Therefore, he during verification side, the opposite party is also checking him! 所以,他在查对方的同时,对方同样也在查他！ Moreover he discovered before , had a place to be neglected by oneself. 而且他发现之前有个地方被自己忽略了。 That is the robber moves his register book person, not necessarily must enter Peaceful Sun Academy. 那就是盗挪他文册的人,未必就一定要进入泰阳学宫。 Present Peaceful Sun Academy may have the opponent, these for 60 years, as a result of the need of military administration livelihood of the people, Protectorate supported big two small three academy, even to weaken the Peaceful Sun Academy influence, but also reassigned many manpower to apportion these academy from academy. 现在的泰阳学宫可不是没有对手,这六十年来,由于军政民生的需要,都护府又先后扶持起了一大二小三座学宫,甚至为了减弱泰阳学宫的影响力,还从学宫里抽调出去了不少人手分给了这几家学宫。 These academy to be admitted to Peaceful Sun Academy disciple always to open the front door, even spare no effort will train, if said that person went to there, is somewhat possible, is only because of such choice, pays is actually not proportional with obtained some, if the opposite party background is big enough, is definitely unwilling so. 这些学宫对能考入泰阳学宫的弟子一向敞开大门的,甚至会不遗余力的培养,要是说那个人去了那里,也是有几分可能的,只是因为这样的选择,付出和所得却有些不成正比,假如对方背景足够大,肯定是不甘心如此的。 But in addition, has a destination actually. 而除此之外,实际还有一个去处。 That is Divine Army! 那就是神尉军！ Before Divine Army, all army soldier were was all admitted, even if the circumstance differs from the past now, but if some people entered as scholar, selected or promotes, often was quicker person one step, divine robe that even inherited possibly was more powerful. 神尉军之前所有的军卒全都是考入进去的,即便是现在情势不同以往了,可若有人以学子身份进入其中,无论是拔擢还是晋升,往往都是更快人一步,甚至承继的神袍都可能更为强大。 If the opposite party wanted the Divine Army person, but for obtains a higher position in Divine Army, tried to make such a status, that was also very stand to reason. 而若对方本来就是欲进神尉军的人,只是为了在神尉军内获得更高地位,才设法弄了这么一个身份的话,那也是很合情合理的。 Especially to that, no one will come test radically your knowledge, this also evaded perfectly shortcoming that oneself scholarship is insufficient. 尤其到了那里面,根本没人会来考校你的学问,这也完美避过了自身才学不足的缺点。 His thoughts were stirring, such that if all such as he infers, then the opposite party should determine now his real status, but pushes following this mentality downward, the Chief Wang death, feared that did not have in the surface to look such simple. 他心里转着念,假如一切都如他所推断的那样,那么现在对方应该已经确定了他的真实身份了,而顺着这个思路往下推,汪主事的死,怕也没表面上看起来这么简单了。 Previously pretended to be that letter that Zhao Xiangcheng sends, can be also related with this matter? 还有先前冒充赵相乘寄过来的那封书信,会不会也与这件事有关？ „It seems that in the near future I'd better stay in the academy as much as possible, tries to collect replenishing spirit essence items, read Grand Dao Chapter, and wait until I have enough strength to protect myself before talking about the rest.” “看来近段时日还是要尽量待在学宫之中,设法搜集补充神元的物品,观读大道之章,等到有了足够自保之力后言其余。” Thinks of here, in his heart is also vigilant. 想到这里,他心中也是警惕起来。 In academy is very safe, but concerns the oneself life, that is how careful is not overrated. 学宫里是很安全,但是关乎到自己的性命,那怎么小心都不为过。 Therefore he returned to the residence immediately, took out that vermilllion glove, wore, will be hanging Xia Sword on wall to take, prepared to carry along. 于是他当即回返了居所,将那朱色手套取出,戴了起来,又将悬挂墙上的夏剑拿下,准备下来就随身携带。 Before he was only auxiliary teacher, walked the self-recommendation way to come, if sword took a walk in academy, was very easy to invite the trouble, but now was different, his another status was Profound Mansion disciple, something did not need to care. 之前他只是一个辅教,还是走自荐的途径进来的,若是佩剑在学宫之中走动,很容易招惹事端,而现在不同了,他另一个身份乃是玄府弟子,有些事就不用太在乎了。 At this time because of being high noon, under his civilian clothes pill, sits in meditation to control one's breathing, day falls left meditation, and comes out from the residence, this time goes toward miscellaneous storehouse. 此时因已是正午,他便服下丹丸,打坐调息,日跌时分才出了定坐,并从居所出来,这次是往杂库去。 This boundary situated in the southwest corner, in reality is goods that academy divides alone breeds the field, although also in academy, may with, because the external person are many, therefore in also has a stone wall to lead to the academy internal path on as the impediment. 这处地界位于西南角,实际上是学宫单独划分出来的一块货殖场,虽说也是在学宫之内,可与由于外来之人较多,所以在通向学宫内部的道路上还有着一道石墙做为阻隔。 When he passes through here, the specialist inspects the status of person of contact in this, but the opposite party sees him to wear the auxiliary teacher clothes , the appearance is outstanding, not only no one comes up the interrogation, and bows with hands clasped to him respectfully. 他经过这里时,还有专人在此查验往来之人的身份,不过对方见他身着辅教衣冠,又神采出众,非但无人上来盘问,且还对他恭敬一揖。 Smoothly walks after the partition wall, he sees a big smooth open ground, above piled up with the assorted junks, but in southeast has the height scattered even/including to arrange the house, is pushing the car everywhere, crowded strength labor, including several body sturdy naturalization barbarian. 顺利从隔墙走出来后,他就见到一大片平整开阔的地面,上面堆满了各色杂物,而东南方向上有着高低错落的连排屋宇,到处都是推着小车,人来人往的力工,其中有几个还是身躯粗壮的归化蛮人。 Here sound is noisy, the dust inundates to raise, chaotic dirty, is very difficult to imagine, outside the separation of one wall is the quiet and beautiful clean academy inner mansion. 这里声音嘈杂,尘土漫扬,混乱肮脏,很难想象,一墙之隔外就是清幽干净的学宫内府。 His vision swept, here is in academy the thing besides the proper storehouse is also most mixed many place, before he did not have the time not to give a pretext this, therefore wants while purchasing the medicine material opportunity comes this to take a walk, had a look here whether can find to have source energy items. 他目光扫了一遍,此处也是学宫中除了正经库房之外东西最杂最多的所在,之前他没有时间也没有借口到此,所以想趁着采买药材的机会来此走动一下,看看这里是否可以找到存在源能的物品。 But transferred one, with more than Xia hour, actually and had no special discovery. 可是转了一圈下来,用去了一个多夏时,却并没有什么特别发现。 Before he thinks, several that contacts have source energy items, under the heart mused: „This type of thing, only then can seek in these ruins?” 他思及之前接触到的几种存有源能的物品,心下暗想:“这种东西难道真的只有在那些遗迹之中才能寻到么？” Now is west the sun, without the harvest, he also no longer wasted the time, went to the place that Ren Yi said directly, toward the highest gate tower walked. 现在已是日头偏西,既然没有收获,他也就不再浪费时间了,直接来到了任义所说的地方,朝着其中一处最高的门楼走了进去。 Ren Yi is inciting the following person to move the thing here at this moment, he is also sharp-eyed, cast aside saw Zhang Yu, on busy told nearby person, oneself welcomed cheerfully, cups the hands and says: „Auxiliary Teacher Zhang, you came.” 任义此刻正在这里指使着下面人搬东西,他也是眼尖,一撇之间就看到了张御,忙上吩咐了旁边人一声,自己乐呵呵迎了上来,拱手道:“张辅教,你来了。” The Zhang Yu nod returns a courtesy, said: „Assistant Ren, I take these medicine material.” 张御点头回礼,道:“任助役,我来取那些药材。” „Okay, Auxiliary Teacher Zhang here invited,” on the Ren Yi face is piling smiling, led the way in front, is passing through a short thin gruff solid middle-aged guy side time, he patted a that person shoulder, „old Yang, went to but actually the cup good tea.” “好好,张辅教这边请,”任义脸上堆着笑,在前面引路,在经过一个矮瘦憨实的中年汉子身边的时候,他拍了一下其人肩膀,“老杨,去倒杯好茶来。” The man smiles, looked at Zhang Yu, gathered together the right hand of oneself, lowered the head. 那汉子憨厚一笑,看了眼张御,拢了拢自己的右手,就低头走出去了。 Zhang Yu has leaned the head, the vision stayed a while in that person back. 张御侧过首,目光在其人背影上停留了一会儿。 „Comes, Auxiliary Teacher Zhang inside sits.” Ren Yi Zhang Yu welcome to an open big room, although here person were still many, may be able to see that often some people clean up, is quite relatively clean. “来来,张辅教里面坐。”任义把张御请到一处敞开的大间内,虽然这里人仍然不少,可看得出时常有人清理,相对比较干净。 „auxiliary teacher sits slightly, I make people bring medicine material.” “辅教稍坐,我让人把药材都拿过来。” Ren Yi greeted, quick, has the underlings to move carefully Zhang Yu purchase medicine material, and put at close to the window opening stage on, looked at the almost 30 about packages, on opening the stage occupied big one piece. 任义招呼了一下,很快,就有底下人将张御购置的药材都是小心搬进来,并摆在了靠近窗口的敞台上,看去差不多有三十来包左右,在敞台上占据了好大一片。 Ren Yi said with a smile: „Auxiliary Teacher Zhang may inspect, if there is any issue, I will go and change them again.” 任义笑道:“张辅教可查验一遍,若有什么问题,小人可再去调换。” Zhang Yu inspected, discovered that in the quantity oneself medicine material that must purchase are more, is in the quality some diversities, considering that applies drugs and him commonly refines pill medicine to request to be different, the bystander is impossible to know that here key point, this point is also acceptable. 张御检查了一下,发现数量上比自己要采买的药材还多了许多,就是质量上有些参差不起,不过考虑到寻常用药和他炼制丹药要求有所不同,外人也不可能知道这里的关窍,这一点也是可以接受的。 Un? 嗯？ When inspects some medicine material, his feeling has different suddenly, two fingers pinched, take up to look, this was fingernail big bone fragment, those who made his pleasant surprise was, above really had extremely weak source energy to exist, but weak did not pay attention almost unable to detect to him. 就在检查某一种药材的时候,他忽感有异,两指一捏,拿起看了看,这是一枚指甲盖大的骨片,令他的惊喜的是,上面竟然有极为微弱的源能存在,只是弱到他不注意几乎就察觉不到。 He looked that asked to Ren Yi: „Where these do bone fragment purchase?” 他看向任义问道:“这些骨片是在哪里购买的？” The Ren Yi probe head looked at the eye, takes a worn-out book to flip again, said: „From a small firm that called the luck to pass, is it possible that was Auxiliary Teacher Zhang unsatisfied? That can trade again.” 任义探头看了眼,再拿过一破旧的本子翻了翻,道:“是从一处叫福通的小商行,莫非张辅教不满意？那可以再换。” Zhang Yu put bone fragment, this above source energy are too really few, even if away from the glove, during the breath was clean on absorb, said: „Exhausted Assistant Ren runs again for me, this kind of medicine material purchases as far as possible, I am useful, price you do not need to be worried.” 张御将骨片放了下来,这上面的源能实在太少,哪怕隔着手套,呼吸之间就吸摄干净了,道:“劳烦任助役替我再跑一趟,这类药材尽量多采买一些,我有用,价钱方面你不用担心。” Ren Yi said with a smile: „Where words, Auxiliary Teacher Zhang is willing to consider our business, I like also without enough time, I will run tomorrow personally toward that place.” 任义笑道:“哪里话,张辅教肯照顾我们生意,我欢喜还来不及呢,我明日就亲自往那处跑一回。” At this moment, the heavy sound of footsteps steps aside from transmit, that is called a gruff reality man hand of old Yang to serve tea. 就在这时,沉重的脚步声自外传来,那个被叫作老杨的憨实汉子一只手端着茶走了进来。 Ren Yi discontented say/way: „old Yang, are you so how slow?” 任义不满道:“老杨,你怎么这么慢？” old Yang lowers the head does not speak. 老杨低下头不说话。 The appearance that a Ren Yi face expects too much, went forward to receive teacup, waved to make the action of driving away shape, said: „Considers as finished, you get down.” 任义一脸恨铁不成钢的样子,上前接过茶盏,挥手作驱赶状,道:“算了算了,你下去吧。” Time that old Yang is just about, behind actually broadcasts a sound: 老杨正要下去的时候,后面却传来一个声音: „wait a minute.” “等一下。” old Yang's body stopped. 老杨的身躯一顿。 Zhang Yu looks at he, the tone naturally said very much at will: „What happened to your right hand? Can I take a look?” 张御看着他,语气很是随意自然道:“你的右手是怎么了？可否给我一观？” ...... …… ...... ……
