Chapter 466

Nujiang City is located in the south of Dali, there has been no war for a long time, and with the army and Yingtang guarding it, the forces in the surrounding rivers and lakes would not dare to make trouble, so there is no such law as a curfew.

In this way, for many people who are not short of money, night is the most exciting time of their day. Of course, this kind of excitement has nothing to do with the poor.

As night fell, Yunjing sipped tea and read a book after eating and drinking.

In the end, Bai Zhi couldn't put his mouth down on Houttuynia cordata for this meal, he really couldn't bear the taste, but Yunjing ate it deliciously.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Bai Zhi who was busy in the kitchen, and Yun Jing quietly let out a sigh of relief. After a while, the smell of Houttuynia cordata in his mouth had disappeared.

"Fortunately, the smell is almost gone, otherwise, if you want to kiss a small mouth or something, you will have to make things difficult for others..." Yun Jing muttered in his heart, and the relieved Yun Jing continued to read quietly.

Although his eyes were on the book, Yunjing's thoughts were a little wandering, he was reflecting on himself.

"It's the age of wearing a steel plate. After eating the marrow and knowing the taste, I will always think of these things unconsciously in my head. It seems that I am also an ordinary person like most people. This is very good..."

Thinking of this in his heart, Yun Jing felt relieved, he really didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and there was nothing wrong with it, at least as a person, the emotions and desires were still there, which was better than the 'human nature' gradually disappearing and becoming indifferent and numb.

Ever since he realized that there was a problem with his mentality, he has been deliberately adjusting, and now he has finally become a 'normal person'.

Born as a 'human', if you continue to maintain it, you should not turn into a stone.

There are too many beautiful things in the world, if you turn into stone, indifferent and numb, what is the difference between living and dying?
Taking another look at Bai Zhi's graceful figure, Yun Jing felt a little hot in his heart.

"A layman is just a layman, I'm just a layman, lust is the nature of normal people, as long as the lower body doesn't dominate the upper body..." Yun Jing recognized himself calmly.

When a man looks at a woman, especially a beautiful woman, Yun Jing will not refute what he admires with clear eyes. There may be such people, but under normal circumstances, when a man sees a beautiful woman, it's not because she wears more clothes. Look at the place where it is exposed, and look at the place where it is not exposed when people wear less clothes.

It's natural instinct, it's normal.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Yunjing continued to read.

When Bai Zhi finished his work, he closed the book, and said to Song Yan who was beside Hou, "Xiao Song, come with me later, and go to business."

Song Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, and secretly glanced at Bai Zhi who was approaching slowly, then lowered his voice and said in an inaudible voice: "Master, who is Mrs. Zheng?"

At this time, Song Yan was conflicted in his heart, he didn't know what to say or not, he hesitated to say something, the young master and the young lady fell in love, so it's really good to leave the young lady to find that Zheng family.

"What are you thinking? It's business!" Yun Jing suddenly said angrily.

Well, although the language of the Dali Dynasty is not any language of Yunjing's previous life, those two words are really homonyms, Song Yan wants to split...

"Little one understands," Song Yan said awkwardly.

Bai Zhi had already come over, didn't hear their conversation, but looked at Yun Jing and asked: "Officer, it's getting dark, do you need hot water for your bath?"

When she said this, Bai Zhi thought of Hu Tianhudi with Yunjing last night, and her cheeks became hot. In this era, there is not much entertainment at night. What else can I play after bathing?It's just that although the action has returned to normal today, the 'injured' area is still a bit uncomfortable. If the officials want to...

Not knowing what was going on in her little head, Yun Jing said, "No need for now, Xiaobai, you have heard about this matter from the officials before. Husband is going to go out to settle the matter, do you want to go together? If you are not interested, just wait at home for my return."

"If the official doesn't think it will cause trouble for the concubine to go with the official, then the concubine can go with the official." Bai Zhi smiled, and she was happy to accompany Yunjing all the time without causing trouble to Yunjing. he.

Nodding his head, Yun Jing said, "In that case, let's go together."

"Well, the concubine is going to change her clothes first," Bai Zhi said, then went back to the house, and went out with Yun Jing, she naturally wanted to dress herself up to avoid losing face to Yun Jing.

Then Song Yan asked: "Master, do you need to prepare anything?"

After thinking for a while, Yun Jing shook his head and said: "There is no need to prepare anything, I can tell you to do it if necessary."

"Small understand"

……

Nujiang City was very lively that night, and even the slightly famous brothels were full. After all, the competition of dozens of outstanding talents in the county had come to an end, and they all urgently needed to find a place to express their feelings. Although this The matter has nothing to do with the vast majority of people, but it is an honor for people to witness this prosperous age.

It is undeniable that even if those talented people who came to Nujiang City are defeated in the competition, they are still the benefactor objects that the ladies in the brothel are fighting for. They can represent a place to participate, and they have real talents. Those who come here through shady scenes are not too stupid, after all, Nanni can't support the wall, and besides, who can come here through shady scenes, who is not young and rich?

Of course, the most popular are the five outstanding young talents. Next, they will go to Jiangzhou to compete on behalf of Nujiang City. If they can stand out in the state capital, they will be able to go to the capital to exhibit what they have learned. That At that time, it was not impossible to yearn for the title of the Four Great Talents. Even if they lost the election, they could go to earn a gold medal once and return to their "hometown".

The busiest place in Nujiang city this night is not the brothel, but Tingtao Pavilion, a restaurant.

Tingtao Pavilion is the best restaurant in Nujiang City, it is very prestigious to be able to entertain guests, dine and stay here. Tonight, the top floor of Tingtao Pavilion with five floors has been reserved. Congratulations to the young talents who stand out, except for the five talents who can go to this banquet, all of them are full-fledged people, otherwise they will not be qualified to join in the side, and they can only listen to their high-spirited talks below. Fan.

Tingtao Pavilion is built on a higher ground, and it has five floors. On the fifth floor, if you open the windows and look far away, you can see the ferocious Li River beyond the city wall, and you can even hear the sound of the waves of the Li River.

It is undeniable that the style of Tingtao Pavilion is indeed full, but those who have stayed here know that living here at night and listening to the sound of the waves can kill a person, but this still cannot hold back the famous adults of Tingtao Pavilion flock to...

When people are hungry, they have only one kind of trouble, but when they are full, they have countless kinds of troubles.

Therefore, people should not eat too much. When they are full, they will be idle. When they are free, they will be bored. If they are bored, they will want to find something to do.

That's pretty much what jokes are about.

Tingtao Pavilion is full of business that night, even if he is not short of money, he can only get a seat at the corner of the lobby on the first floor. Really rich, especially today Tingtao Pavilion is full of rich people who come here after hearing the news, most of them are famous scholars, and the convenience of restaurants must be given priority.

He is not in the mood to argue with those guys who are chasing fame and fortune, and the jokers in the corner are also happy and leisurely, tasting wine and eating food on their own. Although he is bored and wants to do things, he still doesn't like those mediocre guys.

Walking along the courtyard of the restaurant lobby, he could vaguely see the scene on the top floor, where, apart from the five young talents who stood out during the day, the most prestigious people in the local area were there.

"Fame, talent, are they really that important?" You Xiao murmured in his heart, he didn't even understand that it was just a competition of talent and learning, and it was worth the smiles greeted by those big people who are usually "above" a few young people ?
As a person in the Jianghu, he is not in the circle of scholars, so naturally he does not know the weight of such a reputation. The so-called proud prince in white clothes often refers to scholars.

He wanted to make trouble, but of course he wasn't so arrogant that he didn't pay attention to those people at the top, and even many of them he couldn't afford to mess with. This is self-knowledge.

Aren't you a great scholar, then I'm better than you in some aspects, how awesome are you seeing!
So You Xiao was waiting for the celebration on the top floor to end, and then looked for an opportunity to compete with those young talents, even one of them.

He just didn't know when the celebration upstairs would end, he was not in a hurry, he had plenty of time to wait slowly.

I guess he was too full, and this guy didn't know what was wrong, anyway, he didn't want to see a few talented young talents with boundless brilliance, so he was full.

There are always such boring guys in this world, You Xiao is one of them...

Most of the street outside the inn is full of all kinds of vehicles such as ox carts, horse-drawn carriages, sedan chairs, etc. Most of them are servants, servant girls and guards of rich families, waiting for their masters to return home in good spirits.

Because there are a lot of dignitaries gathered here, there is nothing to say about public security. A large group of police officers patrols, and people from Yingtang hide everywhere to prevent accidents from happening at any time.

When the lights were on, Yunjing Bai Zhi and Song Yan came outside the restaurant, looking for You Xiao.

Within a radius of more than ten kilometers, it is difficult for You Xiao to not be found by Yunjing in this area, and it is useless to drill into the soil.

It is worth mentioning that Yunjing absorbs spiritual energy every morning and evening to improve his cultivation, and the coverage of his mind power is also quietly increasing. Now it has almost reached the level of fifteen kilometers, and the weight that can be controlled by mind power is also moving towards [-] kilograms , Although it is still one quarter away, the idea he used to have can be tested over time.

That is to see if Nianli can lift himself up, which is probably equivalent to lifting himself up by grabbing his own hair.

Although this idea is a bit boring, especially since he can already fly, I just want to experiment...

"Master, do you have a reserved seat? If not, the store is full now, please move to another place. If there is any offense, please forgive me. This store is really helpless, and it is not deliberately offending customers."

As soon as they arrived at the door, Yun Jing and the others were stopped by the waiter of the shop, and said cautiously with a very low posture, without the slightest intention of the shop boss to bully the customers.

It is unreasonable to push the customers out when the door is open for business. If the customers are full, there is nothing they can do. If the customers need it, the restaurant will send horse-drawn carriages to send the customers who cannot enter the store to other places.

Yun Jing is not unreasonable, he said with a smile: "This little brother is polite, I can't reserve a seat when I come, but I have a friend who happens to be inside, can I come in and share a table with him?"

"It's okay to say this, but it's just to let the young master know that if something is created out of nothing, it will be embarrassing at that time, and it will be bad if there is an unpleasant situation. Do you think this is the truth?" Xiao Er pondered for a moment and smiled, giving For Yunjing to be vaccinated, it is said that the ugly words are the first.

Nodding, Yun Jing said: "Understood, please rest assured, I did not come here to cause trouble, if that friend is inconvenient, I will not embarrass the store owner and turn around and leave."

He only met You Xiao once, and said that the relationship between friends is too far-fetched, but Yun Jing believes that the other party should not mind that he and him share a table, if it is not possible, just turn around and leave and wait for him to come out, or move on with the other party. It is also negotiable to go to other places, after all, he is here to find him.

Again, Yun Jing is a reasonable person. He came to You Xiao this time to deal with the suspicion of the theft. If it is not necessary, he will not handle the matter in an extreme direction. The matter was settled happily, hello, hello, hello everyone.

"In that case, please follow me, I will help you lead the way." Xiao Er no longer persuaded, but nodded and said, saying that he was leading the way, but in fact, he was worried that Yunjing would make something out of nothing, and he would politely send them out when the time came .

There is no way, there are too many important people here today, it would be bad if something unpleasant happens and bumps into others.

Entering the restaurant, Yun Jing looked in the direction of You Xiao, indicating that his friend was over there, so he went straight there under the leadership of the waiter.

Although Song Yan hadn't experienced too many things, he was actually not stupid. After seeing You Xiao at this moment, he probably understood in his heart that the stolen goods in his room were probably the same as the people in the rivers and lakes he met a few days ago. Related, but in the absence of evidence, he is just guessing, and there is no arbitrary determination.

My young master will handle this kind of thing well, Song Yan just needs to follow.

Youxiao, who was eating, drinking and drinking, looked around boredly, and soon noticed Yunjing and the others, but he didn't care, only thinking that Yunjing and the others were attracted by a few young talents, he didn't think much about it, and didn't even contact him As for the matter of stealing things, Yun Jing is a scholar after all, so of course he wants to get involved in this circle.

But he soon discovered that Yun Jing and the others were walking straight towards him...

"Come to find me on a special trip? Is it simply because the restaurant is full and wants to grab a seat, or does he know something? I don't have that kind of relationship with him, right? As for what I know, I can't talk about it. He's just a scholar who has no power to restrain his chickens. It's no wonder he can see what I'm doing... Hey, the woman next to him is so beautiful. He has never put color on anyone, the young man named Yunjing is so lucky to be able to fall in love with such a beautiful woman, well, to use those rough people's words, to be able to win such a beautiful woman, he is willing to live 30 years less..."

After discovering that Yunjing and the others were coming straight, these thoughts flashed through You Xiao's mind. At the same time, he was also very envious, his heart felt sour, and the fine wine in his hand was not so easy to swallow.

With such a beauty, are you here to show off?Find a place to hide and start fighting goblins all day long?
There were a lot of people in the restaurant. With Bai Zhi's appearance, wherever she went, she could be regarded as a spotlight. It was normal to be scrutinized secretly, but everyone was a civilized person, and no one jumped out to make trouble after all.

Accompanied by the waiter, Yunjing and the others went straight to Youxiao's table, Yunjing cupped his hands and saluted, "Brother, we met again, and we met by fate. Now that the restaurant is full and there is no place to stay, I don't know if we can do it." How about a convenient table?"

Yun Jing said it very politely. After all, he is not a big shot, so he probably thinks too much about his face, and it is only a one-time relationship with the other party. Why should the other party give himself such face?

However, as for the opening remarks, whenever Yunjing came here, he would reveal the truth of the matter in front of everyone's eyes. If the other party was inconvenient, Yunjing would not force it, and just find another opportunity, and it didn't matter much.

The waiter in the shop heard that Yunjing and Youxiao were not familiar, and was thinking about how to politely ask Yunjing to leave.

You Xiao looked at Yun Jing with a half-smile and said, "So it was you. I remember you. It stands to reason that there are many friends and many ways to go out. I have no reason to refuse, but we are not that close yet, right? Do you think I Should I agree or refuse?"

For You Xiao, anyway, he doesn't owe Yun Jing anything, so he doesn't need to be too polite with him, but he is curious about Yun Jing's reaction after he said that, leaving in embarrassment and shame, or climbing up the pole?

For his reaction, Yun Jing didn't find it strange, it's human nature, even if it was him, a person who only met once came to join the table, he had to weigh it.

So Yun Jing smiled and said: "I came to look for Xiongtai, but I have something to discuss. It is not aimless. Of course, if it is not convenient for Xiongtai, I am not a messy person. I can leave first and find Xiongtai again at a suitable time. not too late”

Hearing what Yun Jing said, You Xiao twitched his eyebrows imperceptibly, and immediately said with a smile: "In that case, please sit down, little brother." Then, he said to the waiter next to him: "Trouble serving two more bowls chopsticks"

The shop clerk secretly breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that something might happen, it's fine now, and said to leave later.

So Yun Jing and Bai Zhi sat down next to each other, Song Yan waited beside him, as a servant, he was not qualified to sit down at this time.

Without waiting for Yunjing to open his mouth, You Xiao looked at Yunjing, inspected his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Little brother, I forgot to introduce myself after saying goodbye that day, and laughed downstream, dare to ask your name?"

"Don't dare to take it as your surname, Yun, and the single name is Jing," Yun Jing replied with a smile.

They did not exchange names that day, and at the same time, Yun Jing completely understood You Xiao's attitude at this time, and he probably had the same attitude himself.

Both Bai Zhi and Song Yan couldn't figure out why You Xiao, who was still talking and laughing just now, suddenly turned cold, but they didn't say anything, leaving everything to Yun Jing.

The waiter from the shop came to deliver the bowls and chopsticks, Bai Zhi took out Bai Juan to help Yunjing wipe the bowls and chopsticks...

"It turned out to be Brother Yun, so I would like to ask, how did you find me? You said you came to find me, and then you found me. Listening to your tone, it seems to be effortless. To be honest, this makes me very entangled. , do you understand what I mean?" You Xiao looked at Yun Jing again with a three-point cold tone and said, playing with the wine glass in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

As a person in the rivers and lakes, his whereabouts are erratic, but Yun Jing found him when he wanted to. How can this make You Xiao look good?Even at this moment, even though You Xiao is smiling, the alarm bells are ringing in his heart. For a man in the world like him, his whereabouts are easily determined by others, this situation can be called fatal!

Yun Jing apologized slightly: "I understand Brother You's meaning, but there is a reason why I have to find you..."

"I would like to know more about how you found me, brother Yun!" You Xiao interrupted unceremoniously, with an obvious threatening tone in his tone.

Yun Jing is helpless, this is obviously not the point, but people care about this, if you don't make it clear, I'm afraid there will be no friendly communication in the future.

After pondering for a while, Yun Jing said: "Brother You didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts, and I have a good memory, so after a little description and inquiry, it's not difficult to find Brother You, right?"

"Well, let me just believe that you found me in this way." You Xiao said lightly, not believing it in his heart, and even became more vigilant. At a certain moment, he even had the idea of ​​killing people to silence him. As a person in the Jianghu, people care about things like being easily manipulated about their whereabouts, as much as being greened by others!

Especially since he was born in a robber family, his hands and feet are not clean, so he can be easily found, which is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Of course, the idea of ​​killing people to silence their mouths is only fleeting, and it hasn't reached that level yet.

Everyone cares about different things, Yun Jing understands his mood, and he didn't get too entangled, but changed the subject and said: "I don't like to be devious, so I went straight to the topic, and now come to Xunyou brother, I want to confirm one thing, please brother You tell the truth, so as not to cause misunderstandings."

"Brother Yun is straightforward. He doesn't look like a scholar at all, but more like a man in the rivers and lakes. Tell me, what's the matter, it's worth your special trip to find me." You Xiao nodded and said, The words 'specially looking for him' are very heavy, obviously for him, how his whereabouts are known by Yunjing is more important than the purpose of Yunjing's visit.

Based on this point, You Xiao is not so concerned about the original purpose of coming here to have fun...

There are people all around, before it is confirmed, even after it is confirmed, it would be very offensive to say it in front of so many people, so Yunjing lowered his voice and said: "Brother You, what I want to ask is, what happened to those things last night? , could it be you who let it go?"

Yun Jing's question was ambiguous, so it didn't matter if someone overheard it. If it was from a study tour, he would naturally understand it. If not, it would be meaningless to ask it bluntly. Of course, if he denied it, it would be a different matter.

"You found me just for this matter?" You Xiao said in amazement.

In other words, because of this incident, Yun Jing easily manipulated his whereabouts?How?It must be known that You Xiao is very confident in himself. Since his debut, the traces have been handled very cleanly, and there has never been an accident, but it just happened to overturn at Yunjing!

Because he cared too much about this, he didn't even refute the 'acknowledgment' on the spot.

Yes, for Yunjing, what's the difference between his answer and direct admission?
"That's right," Yun Jingjing nodded, and then said: "I don't know what purpose Brother You put those things in my hotel room, but your behavior has caused me a lot of trouble."

Frowning slightly, You Xiao leaned back and said, "Brother Yun, I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't admitted to putting anything in your place."

This kind of thing must not be admitted. Once he admits it, he stole it to the Lord Sheriff's house. Then he joked that besides running away, Nujiang City couldn't stay any longer, and he would even become a wanted criminal. At that time and What's the difference between street mice?
Let's talk about this matter, whether it's big or small, it's a big change, but if it can save some trouble, why not do it.

Yun Jing looked at his expression of refusing to admit what you did to me, and said speechlessly: "Brother You, you are boring, of course, now that I have the answer I want, it doesn't matter if you admit it or not, I What I want to say is that because you put those things, I have been suspected. You also know that I am a scholar. You are innocent, Brother You, as the instigator of this matter, has no reason to stay out of it, right?"

Based on the principle of resolving troubles peacefully, Yun Jing tried his best to make big things into small things. After all, he has already passed the stage of a hot-blooded teenager who does things to extremes.

Of course, he is not a person who is afraid of things, but he has not yet reached that level. If You Xiao is determined to "control the killing and not bury him", then it is another matter. Yunjing has plenty of ways to solve this small problem.

But still the same sentence, it is better to try to be peaceful in everything.

He is a scholar, after all, he is different from those of us in the rivers and lakes. What scholars care about is fame and wings, just like I care about my whereabouts being manipulated by others. I am careless, and I only want to pay for my mistakes. Thinking that he will be involved in the theft case, and the stolen goods are in their hands. If he is not good, he will go to jail on his back, and even ruin his future imperial examinations and official career. Hate makes no difference...

For a while, You Xiao thought a lot. From different angles, once the same thing rises to a certain height, it will be fatal.

Although he realized that he had done a poor job, You Xiao thought quickly: "Brother Yun, where did you start talking, and I didn't do it. Isn't it a bit too embarrassing to say that you stay out of it?"

There is no easy word in the world of adults. If you do something wrong, it will cause trouble for others, and it will even bring about serious consequences. Although You Xiao is a person in the world, he is not an evil person. He still has some chivalrous spirit when he asks himself. , I will find a way to make up for it afterwards, but in the process of making up, it would be better if I could pick myself out and start?
"Brother You said that, but it's a bit boring. The so-called clean is self-clear. This matter is not a big problem for me. It's just a little more effort to prove your innocence. It's just your irresponsible attitude...", said At this point, Yun Jing shook his head lightly and did not continue, the meaning was self-evident, it was nothing more than plainly underestimated.

You Xiao felt a little embarrassed. People in Jianghu also care about face, and many times face is more important than life. Although he is calm on the surface, he is panicking inside.

With a sudden change in his mind, he smiled and said: "Although I don't know what you are talking about, Brother Yun, I probably understand your problem. It is nothing more than being involved in a theft case. How about this? It's up to you For the sake of my acquaintance, I will help you catch the thief and send it to the government, so that your suspicion can be cleared, and I have done a good deed, so I will treat it as a friend."

Yun Jing understands what he means, why not find someone to take the blame, if you want to come up with this kind of trick, you still have some jokes.

However, although he really wanted to give the other party a step down, Yun Jing thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Brother You, I am not a pedantic person, but my benevolent teacher teaches face to face, our generation of scholars walks in the world, with a clear mind and a clear mind Mingde, if the mind is not right, how can we talk about the future? The so-called grievances have their heads and debts. Some things are done as they are done, and if they are not done, they are not done. There is still a responsibility to live in this world. These words are from the bottom of my heart. I tell you Listen, it's also warning me, so I don't want to see the kind of mistakes that I have made but others have to bear, and finally let the real culprit go unpunished!"

Hearing these words, You Xiao was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Brother Yun, it's rare to be confused when you have a Tao. Some things are too fussy but unnecessary, what do you think?"

"I don't agree with you," Yun Jing said as he met his gaze.

The atmosphere was a little delicate for a while.
