Lan Ruochan

Chapter 367
"I'm here to announce a message. General Kong Bosun Kong is not dead, and Tianzong's undercover agents should have obtained the same information. They have nowhere to go now. Therefore, there will be chaos in the city tonight, and we need to be extremely vigilant. Hunt and encircle and suppress The work of the thieves is done jointly by the city defense force and the police, and we don't need to participate. Our task is..."

Yuan Zhan's personal guard captain is assigning tasks according to the prior arrangement.

Because it is uncertain whether there is Tianzong undercover in the guard, the real situation of General Kong Boxun is still kept secret.

Up to now, Tianzong really couldn't keep calm.

Although the energy they erupted did not exceed the worst estimate of Qing Yun and others, it was already a catastrophe for Ye County.

This time, in order to assassinate Kong Boxun, they obviously played a big hole card.

In order to cover up this hole card, Tianzong had to expose the power they had secretly accumulated over the years.

There are constant guards from the inner house of the governor's mansion to report the situation in the city.

"Report! There was a mutiny in the prison. A jailer opened the prison door and released all the prisoners. Among the prisoners, there seems to be Tianzong undercover, leading those vicious spirits to make troubles."

"Report! The boss of Luji teahouse actually drugged the guests and took hostages to confront the officers and soldiers."

"Report! Old Xu Tou, the watchman, wanted to set fire to the granary, but he has been captured."

"Report! General Nanmen Guard has rebelled, killed his colleagues, and opened the city gate privately."

"Report!..."

That night, the city was restless, and all kinds of weird public security cases kept happening.

Except for Yuan Zhan's personal guards who are relatively reliable, even the ordinary city guards and police officers are hard to trust, and some people jumped back and participated in the incident one after another.

If he is led by these messy things, even if Yuan Zhan's manpower is expanded ten times, he will only be played around.

Fortunately, a policy was made in advance, and the guards ignored all these bullshit cases and only waited for Yuan Zhan's order.

"Report! General Cheng and General You turned against each other. They hacked Buye Guibu's head in the post and rushed out of the south gate to join General Wei."

General Cheng, General You!Finally, two people involved in the first scene of Kong Bosun's assassination were involved.

Yuan Zhan stroked his beard and smiled, and said,
"Okay! Let's deal with it."

When the soldier walked away, Governor Yuan took a deep breath, turned his head and strode forward,

"Finally, it's time to show off. Sect Master Qing, you are really good at predicting things."

This chaos lasted for more than a day.

Because Yuan Zhan's personal guards did not personally participate in the arrest, General Cheng, General You, and General Wei all successfully broke through the siege and left the city after a series of fierce battles.

The people who eat melons have completely lost their comprehension of the situation in front of them.

Tomorrow morning is the time for the Taoist to accuse the real murderer, but the suspected real murderer has already left the city, so what's the point of these smoke bombs released by the governor's mansion?
Could it be that all of this is a cover-up to scare people, and the governor just wants to force out all Tianzong's undercover agents before taking action?

If only this is the case, this series of arrangements seems a bit inferior.

Although a pot of thieves was brought out, it was the people who suffered in the end. If the governor's office did nothing for a day, what it lost was the real popular popularity.

The people in the city were quite critical of this, and they were all waiting for a satisfactory explanation from the governor's office.

Ever since, the governor opened the door of the mansion and was promoted to the hall, and the people without previous convictions could hear the trial outside the hall.

How could the common people who have been worried for the past two days miss such a big melon? In an instant, all the people were empty, and the old and the young surrounded the governor's mansion three times inside and outside three times.

Although the people crowded outside couldn't hear or see, they left everything behind and gathered together with the intention of being able to eat melons in the first place.

"Fellow folks, the Tianzong bandits have been rampant these days, causing everyone to suffer.

An official should be the master for the people, and the suffering of the common people is seen by the official.

Although it was Tianzong demon who committed the crime, the compensation work will be covered by the government.

Starting tomorrow, the county magistrate will set up a special working group to verify the damage of each house.

The damage to the house due to fire, the property damage caused by the fight, and the personal injury can all be compensated according to the facts.

Officers and soldiers who died in the line of duty were arrested quickly, meritorious service was recorded, and pensions were doubled.

For the family members of the deceased, the official will allocate a special allowance from the private salary to comfort the family members, and the standard will refer to public martyrdom.

Remember, everyone, this is a war launched by the Tianzong monster to shake the foundation of the Great Wei!
Each of us is a frontline warrior!
Our sacrifices today are all for the sake of peace in the future, and for the complete eradication of the remnants of the demons!
General Kong defended one side and kept Guangzhou peaceful, but he was plotted against by a monster!

He has shed blood for this city, he has worked hard for this city, but he has never been defeated!

Although General Kong can no longer stand in front of us to protect this city, we are still there!
We can bleed, we can fall, but we will never be broken! "

Yuan Zhan is worthy of being from a noble family, and he is definitely an expert in making atmosphere and doing ideological work.

His impassioned speech made the crowd boil instantly.

"We will not be defeated!"

"Destroy the Tianzong monster!"

"I want to join the army! Fight demons!"

Seeing that the public's grievances had been successfully grafted onto Tianzong's head, Yuan Zhan made a soothing gesture and announced that today's big melon will fall:
"The Daoist Chongxu next to me saved General Kong's life and death.

Unfortunately, the general's life was only extended by two days.

In the end, General Kong left us with regret.

But the general will not die in vain!

Today, Daoist Chongxu will personally lead everyone to catch the murderer!

Yes, the real culprit may still be hiding in this city!

Let us root out the real culprit, wipe out the bandits, and avenge General Kong! "

"Eliminate the real culprit, exterminate the bandits, and avenge General Kong!"

"Eliminate the real culprit, exterminate the bandits, and avenge General Kong!"

"Eliminate the real culprit, exterminate the bandits, and avenge General Kong!"

Thousands of people outside the governor's mansion spoke in unison, waiting for the final answer to be solved.

"If you have one, please rush to Daoist Priest!"

Yuan Zhan stretched out his right hand and stepped back in small steps, leaving the Taoist who was invited from Qingzhou overnight in front of him.

"Wuliang..." Daokou preached the name, suddenly remembered that the word Tianzun was closely related to Tianzong, and now he was taboo, so he hurriedly changed his words, "Taiyi real person!"

The first emperor in the east, Taiyi, saved Ku Tianzun, and inexplicably downgraded to a real person.

"Pindao has already taken General Kong's consciousness into this jade bottle. This bottle can lead us to find the real culprit!"

Yuan Zhan nodded,

"All officials who were present on the day General Kong was assassinated, stand out!"

The 26 people lined up, and Qingyun, Cui Yu, and Zu Dizhi also stepped into the line.

Daoist Chongxu held the jade bottle and shook it over the 29 people one by one, finally shook his head,
"The murderer was not among the 29 people."

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

During the blackboard time of this chapter, we will talk about two issues, both of which come from readers' feedback.

The first thing we want to say is that some readers pointed out that the use of punctuation marks in this article is not standardized, and colons are rarely used before quotation marks in dialogue.

This matter is indeed a poisonous point for all students who have not completed the college entrance examination, so don't learn it.

But the next thing we want to explore is the rationality of the use of punctuation.

Chinese punctuation marks only started to be used at the end of the 19th century, which is not a very long historical process.Just like the usage of Dide we discussed before, this is the product of the standardization of modern Chinese grammar.

Since it is a product of grammatical standardization, there must be comments for each punctuation mark.

Colon: It is a punctuation mark used to indicate the following or summarize the above.

Its main usage is as follows:
[-]. After the salutation used in letters and speeches, it means to mention the following.

[-]. It is used after the name of the speaker in the records of interviews, debates, symposiums, court hearings, etc. to elicit the content of the speech.

[-]. It is used after prompting words to indicate the following.

[-]. It is used after the general discourse to lead to the discourse.

[-]. Summarize the above before being used for general discourse.

[-]. After the words that need to be explained, it means that the following is an explanation.

[-]. Separate author and work title.

[-]. Separate the subject headings and description supplements in the title.

We can see that among the eight usages, only the second is related to dialogue, that is to say, only in certain specific situations where the speaker and the content of the speech must be clearly indicated, the colon is the only choice.

Among the precautions for using colons, there are also two that can be referred to:
* A colon is often used after "some say", "some think", etc.But sometimes you don't want to emphasize the prompt, or don't directly quote someone else's words, use a comma instead of a colon.If "someone said" is at the end of all quotations, use a period after "say".

*Generally speaking, only one colon is suitable in a sentence.If a colon is used in a colon range, the application of the colon is formed.

These two notes explain the substitutability of colons.

To sum up, although the colon is used as a standard for dialogue prefix symbols in Chinese homework and composition in primary and secondary schools, it is not a mandatory requirement for punctuation standards.

In short, to emphasize the content of the discourse, use a colon, such as:

The next day, a piece of news spread like wildfire in Ye County and became the headlines of public opinion in various public places: "Hey, did you hear that? General Kong Boxun suffered from an evil yesterday and suddenly stopped breathing. Everyone thought he was dead. "

- Contents of this chapter.

But if the speaker's actions, expressions, and reactions are emphasized, there is no need to click this colon at all.Especially in novels, it is impossible for a long dialogue to just say so-and-so: ... so-and-so said: ... so-and-so said: ....There must be some more detailed actions and mood descriptions, which are even more critical than dialogue.These are the main reasons why the author tries to avoid using colons before dialogues.

Next, we will discuss another topic, which was also proposed by a reader friend:

Is white first or black first in ancient Go?
There are countless contemporary "scholars" who are fans of the ancient theory of Bai Xian. They are not ashamed that for 2000 years Go has always been white before black, and so on. Ahhhhhh... But the so-called "Wangyou Qingyue Ji" is actually the "Thirteen Chapters of Chess Classics" proposed by Song Zhang, Song Liu Zhongfu's "Chess Jue" and Qing Zhang Jing's "On Chess Jue Yao Miscellaneous Talk" A collection of essays.Among these three works, none of them mentioned the method of playing Go with white first and black later.

In fact, a relatively authoritative development of this debate is a debate between Mr. Jiang Zhixin, a former national first-level referee, and Mr. Chen Zuyuan, a Go theorist, in "Go World".

The contemporary black-first rule was imported from Japan, and Mr. Chen believes that Japan follows the customs of the Tang Dynasty, so in ancient China, the black first and the white second.

But Mr. Jiang has a different opinion, and his opinion is not absolutely to the point where Chinese Go has been played by Bai Xian since 2000, because 80% of the chess records recorded in "Wangyou Qingle Tu" are Song scores, and most of them They are all black first.

So Mr. Jiang's point of view is:

1. From the Three Kingdoms to the Tang Dynasty, white chess goes first.

2. In the Song Dynasty, there were also some cases where white chess went first, such as the famous "Liu Zhongfu's Hematemesis Spectrum" (also known as "Yu Xian Tu")
3. All handicap scores are white chess handicap black chess (same as the current rules).

Among these three points, the third point is the most telling. All handicap spectrums are white to black... There are more sunspots and less whites, which indirectly proves that it is better to go first than black.

On the second point, there is nothing to talk about.The main controversy is centered on the first point.

The so-called white chess from the Three Kingdoms to the Tang Dynasty came first, and there are no more than ten pre-Song scores handed down.At that time, Mr. Chen Zuyuan gave a counter-example and said that "Jia Xuan Tu" and "Four Immortals of Chengdu Mansion" are black firsts, which can prove that there were also black firsts before Tang Dynasty.This argument was caught by the other party, because Jia Xuan half-stepped into the Song Dynasty, and the picture of the Four Fairies is also an authentic Song spectrum.Therefore, in the debate at that time, it was concluded that the five notations before the Tang Dynasty were all Baixian, and Mr. Jiang won.

But in fact this conclusion is wrong.In the entire "Wangyouqing Music Score", there are actually nine scores in the pre-Song notation, except for the game of Jia Xuan, which has two scores, and there are seven scores, not five scores.Among them, there are two spectrums of the Three Kingdoms, two spectrums of the Jin Dynasty, and three spectrums of the Tang Dynasty.Among the seven spectrums, there is a spectrum that is rarely mentioned, but it is precisely the game of Heixian - "Pang Tong Xu Shu Gao Xing Si Wang Shi" during the Three Kingdoms period (note: Pang Tong character Shi Yuan see Xu Shu character Yuan Zhi If you say yes, you will be looking around.).

Another notation of the Three Kingdoms period is the "Sun Ce Lv Fan Playing Chess Situation" we mentioned earlier, the Jin two notations are "Jin Wu Emperor Summons Wang Wuzi to Play Chess Game", (Wang Zhi) "Lan Ke Pu", Tang Sanju is "Tang Minghuang Zhao Zheng Guanyin Playing a Chess Game", (Yan Jingshi, Gu Shiyan) "Golden Flower Bowl Picture", "Wang Jixin One Son Explains Two Signs".

It seems that there is one out of seven innings, and there are indeed many Baixians.However, the spectrum of "Wang Jixin" is a handicap, and black first placed two sons, although white first, in fact, black has many moves.

Seeing this, I guess most of the judges are confused. Which side does the author mean to support? Is it white first or black first?None of the answers are right.Combined with the Ming and Qing rules, we should be able to be more clear:

1. The venerable master holds the white, or the leader holds the white, but there is no limit to the sequence of moves.

2. If the identity is equal, guess first.

Why do you say His Holiness holds the White?Sun Ce held the white, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty held the white, Tang Minghuang held the white, and the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties also held the white (Pu Cun).But they left first because they were given the food.Yes, emperors (including quasi-high-ranking ones) usually call national players to play against each other. It is self-evident which one is stronger and which is weaker, so the game will not be counted to the end.But "Chunzhu Jiwen" mentioned Liu Zhongfu, saying, "Liu Zhongfu, a guest in the south of the Yangtze River, is the first in the world." Liu Zhongfu, the national player of the Song Dynasty, went around to let the first game recruit opponents. At that time, everyone elected a player with the highest rank to play against Liu Zhongfu. : From the beginning down to more than fifty sons, everyone regarded Bai Shi (Liu) as Bei.Liu Zhongfu was at a disadvantage when he held white first, and everyone thought he was going to lose (in the end it turned out to be a comeback).Chess commentators here generally believe that Liu Zhongfu has a high status, so he holds the white, but he lets go one after another.Therefore, there is indeed etiquette in the color of chess, and the first move can be discussed or guessed first.

It may not be easy to understand if we only study Go, so let's give another example-Chinese Chess.

People seem to think that it is indisputable whether red should come first and then black, or black should come first and then red, in chess, of course red should come first!
But those who are familiar with the history of chess should know that before 1980, this rule was not fixed, and the rules of chess games from 1960 to 1979 were all black first.There is an old saying in the chess world, "Occupy the red but not the first". Many people think that this sentence means not to go first when the red chess is taken, which is an obvious mistake.The original meaning of this sentence is chess etiquette, the superior will occupy the red, but not necessarily the first.It is also an honor to compete with peers and play red chess.Switched to Go, this sentence should be called "occupation of the white but not the first", a reason.

Therefore, whether it is Go or Chinese Chess, the correspondence between dignity and color is particular, but there is no necessary connection with the order of action.
