Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 13
Chapter 13 Waves
However, the next moment, Jiang Tian was taken to another house with simple furnishings near the side hall, and on a bed with a screen fan painted "Thousands of Mountains, Rivers and Snows", a green robe was sitting with his legs crossed. A young official who wears a Haechi crown on his head.

It's just that after seeing Jiang Tian being brought in, he didn't speak, but concentrated on sipping the tea cup in his hand, as if he hadn't heard of it and didn't exist at all.

Jiang Tian couldn't help but use his half-baked experience of talking about wars on the Internet to do some kind of psychological profile for the other party.For example: his boots are very old and worn out, and the edges are still stained with plaster, vegetable leaves, and grass stalks. It seems that after a long period of travel, he has also been to a market where poor households gather.

There were faint stains on the hem of the official robe, like oil stains and blood splashes, as if he had just faced a corresponding trial and killing. .It's just that in the relative silence, after Jiang Tian, ​​who lowered his head, looked from his feet to his waist, the other party finally couldn't bear to put down the teacup;
"Benxian is the censor who inspected the city in the night of Shangyuan, and was also your case at the time of the incident..."

At this time, Guo Chongtao suddenly said with deep eyes and burning eyes:

"I know that you have caused a catastrophe..."

"I don't know what the disaster is. I know that my students were robbed in the street, and even I was ambushed and murdered. If it weren't for some luck to protect myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here and speak?"

Jiang Tian said without hesitation:
"How daring! That's more than a dozen lives. How can you just say a word to protect yourself when you die like this..."

Guo Chongtao couldn't help but sternly said:

"With all due respect, I don't realize that those are human beings, but animals that are not as good as pigs and dogs..."

Jiang Tian interrupted him without hesitation:
"I only regret that I killed it too late. Before that, I don't know how many people will suffer from it... Besides, I'm afraid there are more inside stories..."

"You're still stubborn? But what kind of inside information can you have for a promiscuous person?"

Guo Chongtao's face turned cold and his heart moved slightly, but he asked inadvertently:

"I don't know if I can trust Xiantai?"

Jiang Tian suddenly:

"How can you be so unreasonable, you, a white body with no fame, dare to speak boldly?"

Guo Chongtao was a little annoyed and laughed instead:
"Although I am white, I also know the truth and tell right from wrong; more importantly, I must be a teacher and protect my students well... I also ask Xiantai to forgive me..."

Jiang Tian responded neither humble nor overbearing:
"What a big tone, why?"

Guo Chongtao sneered even more when he heard the words:

"Based on what those thieves said, there are people from Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian County, and there are even some important people with great status intervening in the period,"

Only then did Jiang Tian point out something:

"If Xiantai can't keep it secret, or if it's unable to bear it, or even has a connection with it, then I will have to wait for death sooner or later. Then what's the use of telling the inside story..."

"What a smooth talker, I hope your tongue is as hard as your back..."

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he suddenly became less angry, instead, he became somewhat awe-inspiring and looking forward to it.However, in his mouth, he shouted more and more forcefully:

"Come on..."

"no need.."

This is because another voice suddenly sounded from behind the screen, and then a person walked out slowly.Then Guo Chongtao couldn't help bowing and saluting when he saw this, and stepped aside temporarily and stopped talking.

Jiang Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since the other party didn't sternly characterize the matter and condescendingly ask the crime as soon as they met, it means that the other party must have plans and appeals in this matter.

"Gao Lang-jun, can you tell me a little about the inside story?"

However, the middle-aged talent spoke again: Jiang Tian couldn't help raising his head and sizing him up carefully after hearing the words.

I saw him in his thirties, wearing a brocade robe with no identity mark.On the well-maintained and jade-like head, there are almost no obvious wrinkles; just standing there and raising hands, there is an illusion of warmth, warmth, and natural elegance.

But what impresses the most is the indescribable weariness and anxiety in his eyes under his reassuring and convincing mature masculine charm and demeanor.

"I have seen the Lord Master..."

Jiang Tian felt a little familiar, and then remembered it all at once.This seems to be the host who was once in the mansion of the teacher's partner, and was able to catch a glimpse from a distance, the Ambassador Liang from the West Country.

"There is no need to repeat the etiquette. You said that you still have inside information, but you don't know if you can trust the hall? As the sufferer of this matter, I also ask Gao Lang to fulfill the heart of loving daughters in the hall..."

Ambassador Liang spoke again with a solemn face:

"Since it is the proprietor who speaks, I have nothing to say..."

Jiang Tian went down the steps and said:

"Okay? Those people seem to be quite familiar with the situation in the house, and even Luoer's daily preferences and appearance, so they are tight when they make a move, and not many people in the market even noticed it at that time..."

"Those unscrupulous men in Jingzhao Mansion are also suspicious. I clearly remember that no one reported to the officials on the spot, but they can be recognized on the street at a glance afterwards."

Jiang Tian slowly organized his thoughts, selected the scenes he saw and heard at the time and the few words he heard, and then emphasized the mood and words of the group of people who came to pick up the goods;
"Do you know what you're talking about? What's a big man? They're just people from the government. What kind of big man have you really seen?"

However, Guo Chongtao, the imperial censor who was patrolling the city, suppressed the feeling of becoming more and more frightened the more he listened, and questioned again:

"According to those people, he is a big shot who will be silenced and killed if his identity is found out! Maybe you can't afford it even if it is Xiantai..."

Jiang Tian said calmly, unmoved:
"Isn't this your alarmist self-proclaimed statement? Or is it the illusion of your panic, or is it intentional to slander the scene?"

Guo Chongtao asked with a hint of worry and expectation in his heart:
"This matter is of course true, and I dare not lie; after all, I was not the only one who heard it at the time, and I will know the truth when I ask it later."

Jiang Tian pointedly said:
"This statement is enough, I will verify it separately."

However, upon hearing this, Ambassador Liang already had a good idea and believed it to a certain extent, but he felt a little rejoiced.Fortunately, I want to confirm and cross-examine it with my own eyes, otherwise I am afraid that I will miss the important relationship that may be contained in it.

"Please wait a moment in your other room, let me ask some more questions about your personal relationship:"

Then he turned to Guo Chongtao, politely and without doubt:

"Your envoy, please help yourself..."

Guo Chongtao retreated knowingly and closed the door behind him.Then, Ambassador Liang carefully asked and checked many details of the scene.In the end, he was a little moved and emotional and said:

"Unexpectedly, under my family, there is a contemporary chivalrous generation like Gao Lang. Luoer is my heart and blood. If there is anything wrong, the family will regret it for the rest of their lives..."

You know, Ambassador Liang was born in Iraq but went to China with a mission.And for the needs of the country, he married a wife and had children on the spot to open a family. Chang'an, the upper capital, seemed to be his second home;

"It's just a little bit of worry about being a teacher. What's more, I have a responsibility and a relationship with this matter."

Jiang Tian said in a calm voice neither humble nor overbearing:

"You are a good teacher. If everyone in the world is like this, why don't you lead to the world of King Yao and Shun?"

Ambassador Liang said in a meaningful and complicated way:
"It's just that with your skill, it's too low to be a teacher; has Gao Lang heard of the breeze and the moon, or the world?"

However, Ambassador Liang hesitated for a while, but recalled the description of the scene in the file, and suddenly asked:
"What is the origin and allusion of this, can you please show me?"

Jiang Tian couldn't help asking:

"Forget it, no matter what your background is, you have always tried your best to save Luo'er, but the family has to repay this kindness..."

However, Ambassador Liang waved his hands in disappointment and relief:
"It's just that there are still a lot of things to investigate in the follow-up, so in order to take care of everything, I have to make you stay in this prison for a long time... We will discuss the reward later..."

Jiang Tian also faintly heard some kind of implication. Of course, Ambassador Liang is determined to repay this kindness; but other than that, there is no need to have any relationship or follow-up involvement with his family.

At this time, a prompt popped up again in his field of vision, "Slightly deflecting the history line, guiding the mission "Redemption", completion rate (120%), energy collection in progress."

After feeling this unexpected result, Jiang Tian couldn't help but take the initiative to say: "Can you please help me..."

"Oh?"

Ambassador Liang couldn't help raising his eyebrows, but he was a little surprised at how calmly he hit the snake with the stick.

"I hid one... that night. Possibly related evidence and evidence... Maybe the follow-up investigation with the nobleman will help..."

Jiang Tian admitted:
"Come on..."

Ambassador Liang did not hesitate to call a tall man with a thick neck and waist and said:
"Aqi, you have to listen to the explanation carefully, and then take my identity card, and you must get it back in its entirety..."

Later, while Jiang Tian was waiting, someone brought in a case and a few cases one after another; several hot wine and food were already placed on the case, which were obviously ready-made dishes just made by the official kitchen.

There are whole slices of sauced meat, sauced fish, stir-fried sunflower, pickled sweet potato; there is also a large pottery bowl of chestnut rice soup, and a small pot of warmed turbid wine; The old rice porridge and salted vegetables in it are relatively rich.

When Jiang Tian was almost full of food and drink, amidst the faint sounds of fast horses galloping and hurried footsteps in the distance, a package full of dust and mud was delivered silently and put on the case again. a few.

After opening it, several volumes of books and books and odds and ends of unknown uses were revealed, all of which were retrieved by Jiang Tian from that secret cabinet; because most of them were incomplete, but Jiang Tian I thought it might be useful to collect it.

Then, of course, Guo Yushi and Ambassador Liang each called people in and sorted out these things in person; Do a search.

It's just that when Jiang Tian was devouring the evidence heartlessly, and most people outside were scratching their heads at the ghostly characters in the books;

To go back and forth, Ambassador Liang suddenly walked to the edge of the laid out cases, took one of the things that looked like a stump of a jade piece, and looked carefully at the light on the window.

However, from this inconspicuous and stained half piece of remnant jade, it made Ambassador Liang's face suddenly become dignified and a little unbelievable.Then he gave a few more instructions to the people around him.

Not long after, the door was forced to open again impatiently, and another tall, thin and stern attendant brought a corresponding reply in his ear.

Then the missing Guo Yushi came forward with a serious expression and a little excitement, picked up the package of small items that looked old and damaged, and strode out with his own hands regardless of the dirt.

Then it turned into some emotional and chaotic noise outside, and then gradually faded away.With Jiang Tian's ear strength, he still heard some vague words:
"It's a big deal."

"How many years... Tianjia"

"Shangyuan Festival... ugly things..."

"Pearl.. princess.".

"Xiacheng River..."

"Ghost City..."

"Reappeared..."

"Splashing the sky.. right and wrong"

And in front of Jiang Tian's eyes, a reminder subtitle flashed again: "Quantum collection... Optional side mission: "Late Salvation"/"Sinking Light""

Although it is still a little unclear, Jiang Tian seems to find that he has triggered a certain key point.
