Green tea sick beauty after whitening

Chapter 17 Floating Life Ren Baishou

After a while, he muttered: "If you are willing to smile at someone surnamed Lin, you will block me."

Qu Chang said: "What did you say?"

Jing Qianjiang didn't really want to confide his true feelings to this cold-hearted thing, and replied: "It's nothing, I think adults are funny."

Qu Zhang negative said affirmatively: "You are very discerning, work hard. In another ten or eight years, you will almost be able to reach my current position as an official."

Jing Qianjiang kept smiling: "I would like to borrow the auspicious words from the adults. However, my subordinates have always aimed at the adults, and I hope that in ten or eight years, I will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the adults at that time."

Qu Chang said: "Some people often have such thoughts because of admiration for the official, but in the end they often give up because of low self-esteem. To be a human being, you must be prudent."

"Maybe they are all idiots. The subordinates have thick skins. Seeing that the adults are only happy, they feel that they are also radiant and omnipotent."

……

The two chatted with each other, and returned to the camp in a very "harmonious" way, but they didn't feel that the road was long.

After Qu Zhangchen finished tidying up and was about to go to bed, Jing Qianjiang said, "It's late at night today, please rest in peace, sir. I'll watch for you outside."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave when he suddenly heard Qu Changshou behind him saying slowly: "Yi Jiao."

Jing Qianjiang was shocked and turned around: "Yes, my lord."

"It's nothing, I just think your name is good, so I say it more."

The corners of Qu Chang's lips were slightly raised, and he said leisurely: "Yi Yi is not easy to be happy, and Qianjiang is bright in January. It's a good mood."

For some reason, Jing Qianjiang felt a little sad in his heart the moment the poem was uttered from Qu Chang's mouth.

The allusion of "a thousand rivers and a bright moon" originally comes from the Buddhist verse "A thousand rivers have water and a thousand rivers and moons, and there are no clouds for thousands of miles".

It means rivers and rivers in the world, no matter how big or small, if there is water in them, the bright moon will be in your heart.

It was originally a metaphor for the Buddha's nature at ease with the hearts of all living beings.

And his name is Qianjiang, who is his Buddha god?

He suddenly remembered the first time he saw it a few years ago, the cold moon was hanging high in the sky, the stream condensed into a mirror-like ice surface, and the wind was full of the fragrance of plum blossoms.

I was injured and lying on the ground, between the vast snow field and the clear moonlight, just like this walked a handsome and clear young man, as if the moonlight falling on the world had become a spirit.

Stepping on the snow, he walked to his side step by step, leaning over to look at him with cold eyes.

It's like looking at a lifetime.

Jing Qianjiang was silent, and said with a slight smile: "Country people don't study much, and their names are randomly chosen by their parents. Hearing what adults say, they are actually much more elegant."

"That's right. The official has really been kind to you."

Qu Changcheng raised his eyes, and the moonlight passed through his two lifetimes and his unrecognizable past, reflected in his clear eyes: "I'm tired, let's go out."

Jing Qianjiang smiled slightly, with some indescribable melancholy: "Yes."

Seven days later, just in time for the Double Ninth Festival, the barracks practiced as usual during the day, and a banquet was held at night to celebrate.

Because there are so many sergeants, the banquet was held on the open-air school field in order to show that they are treated equally.

Soldiers from various ministries will sit around round tables, and those with higher official positions, such as Cao Tan and Qu Zhang, will sit on a higher-level open-air martial arts platform.

It's been less than a month since Qu Changshou was in the barracks, and he didn't go out very often. Some people had heard his name before, and they didn't see the real person until now, and they couldn't help talking about it.

"Look, Master Qu is really handsome."

"The appearance is outstanding, yes, but he looks too weak and young. How could he be sent to the barracks? What can he do?"

"He is a civil servant. Don't look down on him like this. Don't forget who captured Chen Ying. This man is smart and ruthless, but he is a tough guy!"

"Hmph, the camp is in such a mess, it doesn't matter how he rectifies it. The officials protect each other, and we are always the ones who suffer."

"Tsk tsk tsk, if you're just chatting, why don't you get out of the way? It's blocking me from watching the song! It's much harder to catch a glance at ordinary times."

Everyone on the stage turned a deaf ear to the comments of these ordinary soldiers, Cao Tan poured a glass of wine, and raised a gesture to Qu Chang:

"Today is the first Double Ninth Festival that I and Mr. Qu are working together. Many things are thanks to Mr. Qu's help. I only hope that it will continue to be like this in the future and work together."

Qu Chang took a sneer: "I'm afraid there won't be many days like this."

Cao Tan's face changed slightly.

But Qu Changlu drank the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "The seniority of Changlu is still young, so naturally he still needs a lot of experience. But I think the day when you will be promoted is not too far away, isn't it?"

What he said was sweet, even though he knew that he was just being polite, Cao Tan still laughed out loud, "Then let me use the song as a good example!"

He also drank, looked at Qu Chang negative, and thought to himself that it was a pity that such a beautiful young man with both talents and looks had a cruel heart.

Cao Tan felt a little regretful when he thought about how soon he would lose face in front of everyone.

If it wasn't for Qu Changcheng's intention to come here to make meritorious service and take advantage of his faults, I would still love him very much.

After drinking for three rounds, all the people at the banquet were enjoying themselves, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed, and some people left their seats to talk and toast one after another.

Cao Tan seemed to be a little drunk, and asked Qu Zhang negative through his drunkenness: "Mr. Qu is already nineteen this year, isn't he? I don't know which lady has been appointed?"

Qu Chang said: "I haven't been engaged yet."

Cao Tan said with a smile: "From what you mean, it seems that there is not even a concubine in the room. How about I be a big matchmaker today and introduce you to a beautiful woman?"

Qu Changyin smiled but wasn't a smile: "Oh?"

The people around them, some who knew about it, and some who were kept in the dark, heard what Cao Tan said, and they all looked over with interest.

Romantic affairs have always aroused curiosity, not to mention that although male concubines were common in this dynasty, they were often not allowed to be included in the well-behaved aristocratic families before marrying the main wife.

It seems strange that Cao Tan would mention it like this.

Cao Tan said loudly, "Lin Zijie, come here."

Lin Zijie had been waiting for a long time, and now he stood up and saluted all the officers.

Qu Chang took a look at him, this time he was dressed neatly.

However, under this ordinary earth gray uniform, Lin Zijie still looked red-faced and white-faced, which was indeed a bit more eye-catching than ordinary soldiers.

Jing Qianjiang pouted, he must be much prettier than this little boy.

At that time, it was just a matter of thought, why didn't it look better, huh!

Cao Tan said: "The music master must know him, so I don't need to introduce too much."

Qu Chang said: "Master Cao's words are hard to understand. You said you wanted to be a matchmaker for me, but you called a soldier to come out. I don't know what this means?"

Cao Tan laughed and said, "Master Qu, it's not a bad thing to be young and flirtatious, but you have already got everyone, but you are pretending to be confused here, which is a bit lacking in responsibility!"

According to the originally negotiated plan, Lin Zijie should be wronged and cry at this time to complain about the various "evil deeds" that Qu Changlu forced him to submit, and demand that Qu Changlu be responsible for his actions.

But he didn't know whether he was afraid or he didn't react, so he stood there dumbfounded and didn't move.

Cao Tan had no choice but to continue the conversation by himself: "Prostitution and whoring are prohibited in our military camp. As for insulting soldiers, it is a serious crime. This official thought that it was the first time that the chief offender committed the crime. I didn't want to pursue it, but Lin Zijie is also a good boy from an innocent family. , you do such a thing, you should at least give an account!"

Unknowingly, people who were toasting and laughing gathered around one after another, with different expressions, surprise, understanding, regret, anger, gloating, contempt and disgust...all of them.

Under everyone's attention, Qu Chang negative showed a playful expression, and asked Lin Zijie, "Really?"

Lin Zijie had no great prospects since he was a child. It was because of his laziness and cowardice that he got mixed up with Fan Zhong. He had never seen such a big scene.

He was trembling all over his body, but he couldn't help it, so he quietly raised his head and glanced at Qu Zhang.

The moonlight was too dark that night, and he couldn't see clearly in the tent, and it was only at this moment that he really understood his appearance.

Sitting in the cold autumn light, this person is like a painting of infinite elegance, pale, proud and noble.

He suddenly had courage in his heart, he knelt down abruptly, and said loudly: "My lord, I have a grievance to sue!"

Cao Tan secretly rejoiced: "Speak!"

Lin Zijie took a deep breath: "The villain wants to sue Tunqi school captain Cao Tan for protecting his subordinates, disrupting military discipline, conniving at Xuan Jie's deputy lieutenant Yu Min, and Ren Yonglang Zhan Mingyi for oppressing his subordinates. These two not only bullied the villain many times, extorted money, He even raped and killed Chen Ying's son Chen Zhong! I beg your lord to uphold justice for me!"

As soon as these words came out, there was no turning back. He yelled out these words with all his strength, and he was still desolate in the sound of the wind, making the whole school grounds silent.

After Cao Tan was shocked, he became furious and sternly reprimanded, "You're talking nonsense! Who taught you to slander me like this!"

After he finished speaking, he remembered that Lin Zijie belonged to Fan Zhong, and Fan Zhong had followed him for many years, and this time he had been swearing to him that he had completely grasped Qu Chang's handle.

Looking at it now, he was clearly manipulated by others!

Fan Zhong shrank back at the end of the crowd. Seeing Cao Tan's eyes almost eating him, he shrank his neck quickly and hid himself completely.

It was not only Cao Tan who was shocked and angry, but also all the accomplices around who knew about his plan.

Under the brief silence, there were voices of scolding everywhere, all saying that Lin Zijie had lost his mind and slandered the officer, demanding that he be taken for interrogation.

Immediately there were people rushing up, Lin Zijie's mind went blank, he was extremely scared, but he didn't know what to do next.

At this time, he heard a voice above his head, which was reassuring enough: "Wait a minute."

Cao Tan was defeated by the general, and knowing that the person in front of him must have done it, he was extremely angry: "Master Qu, are you determined to fight against this official?!"

It was Qu Chang negative who vaguely stood up and walked in front of him. Because Lin Zijie knelt down, he could only see the buckskin boots that the other party was stepping on the ground, and a piece of aqua-blue clothes.

Qu Changying's voice was indifferent and careless:

"Master Cao's words are really sad. Why should I fight against you? It's just that this person slandered you in public and didn't let him explain clearly. The rumors spread like this. Wouldn't it damage your reputation?"

"Come here." He turned his head and ordered, "Go and invite Chen Ying's family to confront Lin Zijie."

At this point, it would be a guilty conscience to stop him. Cao Tan sat back down with a cold face, and the rest of the people looked at his expression and didn't stop him.

After all, Chen Ying is a coward. At the beginning, he would rather run away with his family than seek justice for his son. Now, he may not have the courage to come forward to identify Cao Tan.

After Chen Ying was brought up, she found that the scene was tense.

Someone on Cao Tan's side had already unsheathed their knives. Although Qu Chang's side was not as excited as he showed, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were also protecting his young master, staring at him intently.

He immediately panicked and didn't know what to do.

Just his own life is fine, the important thing is that his wife and daughter are still here, his son is gone, and he can no longer implicate other relatives.

Chen Ying was almost stunned when Qu Changcheng asked Lin Zijie to repeat what he said just now.

I didn't expect this kid to be so daring in his usual lazy life.

Qu Chang said: "Chen Ying, why did your son die? Are Lin Zijie's words true?"

Chen Ying suddenly raised her head: "I—"

As soon as he said this word, he met Cao Tan's cold eyes, and then the other party's eyes fell on the mother and daughter of the Chen family behind him.

Chen Ying has seen Cao Tan's methods for so many years, but Qu Changlu is young, even if he has an extraordinary family background, he may not be able to protect the lives of his family.

I can't afford to gamble.

Cao Tan knew his temperament well, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

But the witness that Qu Changshou mentioned was not Chen Ying at all.

He winked, Miss Chen was being held up by someone, but for some reason, she suddenly felt the hand loosening her, she didn't care, and immediately rushed out.

Ms. Chen said loudly: "I can testify that what Lin Zijie said is true. My younger brother was murdered by the two people he said. Afterwards, my father appealed for grievances in many places, but they were all dismissed by Mr. Cao. Instead, he was threatened. Come on, you took me and my mother to escape!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of bloody cloth from her sleeve: "There is no pen and paper in the prison. I have written down everything I know in blood. You can check it out!"

She said these words directly to Qu Chang negative.

Ms. Chen has a straightforward and strong personality. When she was arrested before, she tried to avenge the son of the Xiangfu, but she was severely reprimanded.

She was disheartened at the time, and thought that all officials had this kind of virtue, but not long after, the people from Qu Changshou took advantage of the chaos to find her and asked her about the real situation.

Although she didn't promise anything, this move made Ms. Chen feel hopeful. She simply stayed up all night and carefully wrote down everything she knew, which came in handy at this moment.

As soon as the blood book was taken out, the people on Cao Tan's side rushed to get it, but just as he took a step, he fell to the ground.

Jing Qianjiang took back the leg that was tripping him as if nothing had happened, walked past the other person's face, took the blood book and handed it to Qu Changnegative.

Qu Chang took a hasty sweep.

Ms. Chen said: "Besides, I also heard that in the military camps, embezzlement of military salaries and embezzlement of soldiers also happened from time to time, and common soldiers were often beaten and scolded. When my father came home, I also saw the scars on his body with my own eyes. My father In order to make a living, I had no choice but to suffer, but I still fell to this point!"

The situation was completely out of control, Cao Tan didn't care about other things, and sternly scolded: "This woman must have been bribed to provoke and confuse the army! Someone, take her down, and interrogate if she is an enemy spy!"

His mind was spinning very fast, but Ms. Chen also went all out, and said loudly:

"My lord, I am a soft-spoken person. I can only let you plant and manipulate me. Death is not a pity! But even if it is death, my little girl wants to see with her own eyes whether it is true that good people do not live long, and whether there is justice in this world!"
