Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 505 Master Cen Shen Vs Xu Bin
The chatting resumed again, and there was no one available in the Jing'an Division at this time, just these three idlers, the bullying eased a lot.

The topic still revolved around Zhang Xiaojing, and Li Bi asked curiously, "Has Zhang Xiaojing ever run away from battle?"

"Never!"

"Then the horizontal knife in his hand? It's two inches shorter than others'. It's a humiliating knife bestowed by King Xin'an, named Wuwu."

Xu Bin nodded and sighed: "This is a long story. Zhang Xiaojing joined the army in the 13th year of the old calendar and was the first wave of recruits in the Tang Dynasty. In the 23rd year of the old calendar, before he was transferred to Anxi to change the city, he In King Xin'an's army, he has already become a general."

"At that time, King Xin'an was drafting an order for the army to attack Shibao City. Zhang Xiaojing refuted the army order in person at the meeting and refused the soldiers to fight. Fortunately, Wen Wuji pleaded for him and saved his life, so they were both transferred Anxi, resigned from all military positions, and returned to being a big soldier."

"Before leaving, King Xin'an gave him a dagger, which means that he is cowardly and useless." Xu Bin took a big mouthful of grief and anger.

Li Bi was puzzled, "As a soldier, why did you refuse to fight?"

Xu Bin introduced: "This stone castle is a natural danger. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although there are only dozens of bandits in the city, if we attack it, we will lose tens of thousands of Tang soldiers. The most important thing is, That is not a military fortress that must be attacked! The generals of the past dynasties attacked here because it has a reputation of being difficult to attack. If anyone captures that city, it will be a miracle in front of the saint."

"The participants at the time actually knew this in their hearts. But no one dared to say it, except Zhang Xiaojing. He dared. He said that King Xin'an was trading his life for credit, and he was a villain."

Li Bi snatched the jug, took a sip as well, and said regretfully: "He is not wrong to cherish human life."

"But it is true that he abides by the rules in his heart and does not listen to the orders of his superiors." Xu Bin sighed, "In the eyes of others, although he lives a serious life, in reality, his life is miserable. "

As he spoke, Xu Bin burst into tears, and big teardrops fell down.

Li Bi nodded, and said affirmatively: "To keep the rules in your heart, you have to pay a price. Not everyone can afford this price."

Turning his head to look at Xu Bin can make a seven-foot man cry, which proves that the friendship between the two is indeed sincere. Xu Bin is guilty but reasonable in favor of selfishness to save his best friend.

Li Bi asked curiously, "Boss Xu, when did we first meet?"

Xu Bin closed his eyes slightly, flipped the rope and began to recall, "On the morning of August 23, the second year of Tianbao, at about [-]:[-] pm, by the Qujiang Pond. At that time, Si Cheng was making a routine visit to He Jian."

"President Xu lives in Anyefang, why did he cross several squares to go to Qujiang Pond early in the morning?"

"Xu said at the time that Anyefang was a place for morning reading. At that time, there was a major construction project, so we might as well go further away." Xu Bin laughed, "Si Cheng thought that Xu went there on purpose to get to know Si Cheng?"

Li Bi also laughed, "During the Tang Dynasty, talented people were busy paying homage to dignitaries, for fear that their talents would not be displayed. It is really counterintuitive for a talented person like Mr. Xu to refuse to be promoted."

Xu Bin smiled and asked back: "Then what is the benefit of Xu being close to Si Cheng? At that time, the Jing'an Division had not yet been established, and Si Cheng was just a person who was waiting for the Hanlin, and had no rank, and was like a loose fairy. And Xu Bin In the household department, it was from the eighth rank, and finally transferred to the Jing'an Division, and it was still the eighth rank."

"Xu can't be an official. Being an official requires dealing with people. After a long time, he will be like Si Cheng. No one can believe it."

Li Bi was caught in the middle of his mind and did not refute, but turned his head to look at Cen Shen. Today is the newcomer Xu Bin who is in charge of the investigation, "Cen Shen, what do you think?"

Cen Shen frowned, and basically didn't intervene, just pondering, as if there was some intractable problem.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Cen Shen yelled that it was wrong, there was a problem, there was a big problem.

"What's the problem?" Li Bi asked.

Cen Shen pointed to Xu Bin and said: "He was originally from Yanzhou, a native of Yanzhou, and he should know Shizhi and Yanzhou ink best. When he checked the number of oil plants today, he didn't mention Yanzhou ink and Shizhi at all. , He didn’t mention Yanzhou Mo until the little girl found out. This has to be suspected, he has a ghost, and he couldn’t cover it up, so he was forced to speak out.”

Li Bi was noncommittal, and turned to look at Xu Bin. Xu Bin chuckled, "Every step is startling today, who doesn't have a moment of negligence? Your suspicion is untenable."

"It's more than that. You know Zhang Xiaojing very well, he will tell you about his experience, and you are from Yanzhou, so it is impossible not to know what Fuhuolei is. Since you know it, you have been avoiding talking about it. Urging Jing'an Division to assist Zhang Xiaojing in catching wolves, this is the biggest problem."

Cen Shen said solemnly: "In order to help your best friend survive, you use the public to seek personal gain. Although it cannot be imitated, it is admirable. After all, Zhang Xiaojing is also a word of righteousness. He kills people in anger. You are a man. You Xu Binchang Selling property and planning for it is also a man."

"However, a full three hundred barrels of Fuhuolei are missing, and you even deliberately directed your eyes elsewhere. Don't you have ulterior motives? You don't want Jing'an to investigate the three hundred barrels of Fuhuolei. Do you know how big it is? power?" Cen Shen questioned.

Li Bi finally figured out something, "Long Bo! That Long Bo who has never been exposed, you are covering his whereabouts. He holds the three hundred barrels of ambushes in his hand, right? The wolf guard is just one of you who interferes with your sight." Jing Ansi was dragged by the wolf guards for several hours, what exactly do you want to do?"

Xu Bin retorted loudly: "Si Cheng, why did you call me Long Bo's party? I just wanted to help Zhang Xiaojing, how could I make fun of the lives of the people in Chang'an City? That's three hundred barrels of fire thunder!" ..."

Cen Shen suddenly burst into laughter, "I see, yes, you are really only trying to save Zhang Xiaojing. I can believe that Zhang Xiaojing didn't know about all of today's events, but you, Xu Bin, are absolutely inseparable."

Li Bi looked at this unattractive scholar, waiting for his next words, Xu Bin also drank wine to cover up his embarrassment.

"You used to live in Anyefang, where the Xiaobolu embassy was built and demolished, so you knew Wen Wuji and Zhang Xiaojing well. Later, because of the demolition, Wen Wuji died, and Zhang Xiaojing was put on death row for revenge. It was an emergency. Therefore, you have all kinds of calculations to rescue Zhang Xiaojing."

Xu Bin nodded, there is no need to hide this.

Cen Shen continued: "However, we all seem to have overlooked one thing, that is, you are not the only one who wants to save Zhang Xiaojing. Are there any bad people? Dare to step forward, regardless of life and death to save people. What about Wen Wuji and Zhang Xiaojing's comrades in arms?"

"In the battle to defend Fengsui Fort, there were 30 people in the Eighth Regiment of Anxi Iron Army No. 220. Only nine people survived. These nine people must be life and death brothers. Among them, there are Zhang Xiaojing and Wen Wuji." Li Bi said. Guess in my heart, "According to this calculation, if Long Bo also came to save Zhang Xiaojing, or was invited by you, then this Long Bo is likely to be one of the nine survivors of the Eighth Regiment."

The maid Tanqi quickly found the files of the Eighth Regiment in the file room.
