This martial saint is too generous

Jiang Wutai.

The most mysterious law academy minister in Yuzhi Academy.

In terms of qualifications, he is even on par with Mr. Chen.

In Yuzhi Academy, Jiang Wutai is synonymous with selflessness. Once a student is found to have committed an offense, he will resort to thunderous methods, often cruel and sharp, and will not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.

Over the years that he has been in charge of the Law Academy, Jiang Wutai has killed heirs of the Yuan family and also heirs of the Fang family.

He even dared to destroy Dantian and throw it back to Kyoto even for the emperor's relatives.

These were granted by the emperor.

Qin Jinyang looked at the death-free gold medal in his hand and basically confirmed that the eunuch was Jiang Wutai.

But more questions emerged in Qin Jinyang's mind.

The huge Yuzhi Academy doesn't have a special bath for Jiang Wutai to bathe in?

impossible!

In a small place like Helan Villa, the owner has his own private bath.

Then why did he have to come out for a bath?

Because he is a eunuch, he has to avoid the crowd and sneak in quietly.

I heard from the shopkeeper that Jiang Wutai spends a day at a time.

Is there some quirk?

or……

Just for free?

right!

Definitely free time.

There is no need for the Law Academy to accept disciples, so the ministers have nothing to do on weekdays.

Or maybe he likes to ask for gossip.

The teahouse was too noisy, so the bathhouse became another place where news gathered.

wack.

Qin Jinyang shook his head and prepared to leave the bath.

Just as I walked to the door, there was a sneaky head.

It's a scumbag.

"Hey, are you done?"

Qin Jinyang turned around and glanced behind him, not knowing what he was looking around for.

"Grandma has been buried."

Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Zhang Cai walked in.

"Then what are your plans next?"

Qin Jinyang asked casually.

"I?"

"Keep digging out excrement. Rough people are born to do backbreaking work. Although it's a bit dirty, you can make more money than other professions."

While Shi Lang Zhang was speaking, he looked carefully at the hall for a while, like a conscientious security guard.

"There's no one here, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Jinyang frowned.

The bathhouse is on the verge of closing down, and all the people who were supposed to take a dip yesterday have already taken a dip.

The shopkeeper had already left early in the morning, Jiang Wutai had also left just now, and now it was just him and Shi Lang Zhang.

"Young Master Qin, let me show you something, it might be a treasure!"

The dung man was so nervous that he suddenly took out a finger-length dagger from his arms.

The dagger was handed to Qin Jinyang, his hand was cold...

Very heavy.

It's actually heavier than fine iron.

This wood... is not an ordinary thing.

"About a month ago, the mouth of the river embankment was blocked again. I went to clear the muddy dam by myself."

"This time, I met a man about to drown at the bottom of the river."

"After clearing the dam entrance, I quietly rescued this man. People were disgusted by the smell and no one stared at me."

"Unfortunately, he was covered in wounds, and the highly corrosive dirt caused the wounds to fester profusely. He will not live long."

"The man's body was so hot before he died that he couldn't even speak clearly... I don't know if it was a flashback, but just before he died, he was suddenly able to speak fluently."

"He told me a location where the dagger was buried, and asked me to dig it out secretly, and then secretly hand it over to the Lord of the Law Academy. I must give it to the Lord of the Law Academy with my own hands, and not to anyone else."

"He also claimed that the Lord Chancellor will definitely give me a large reward."

"There is also a wax pill, buried together with the dagger. Inside the wax pill is a letter. The person did not allow me to open it and read it. He also claimed that reading it without permission would harm me, and asked me to hand it to the court minister along with the wooden dagger."

Shi Lang Zhang carefully recalled all the details of that day, trying not to miss any detail during the recounting process.

"Young hero, you also know that with my status, I don't even have the qualifications to get close to Yuzhi Academy, let alone meet Mr. Yuan Qing."

"I also quietly inquired about it. The minister of the Law Academy is the great eunuch of the palace. He was a great man who once served the late emperor. He usually lives in seclusion. Even the geniuses in the academy are not qualified to meet the eunuch."

"It is impossible for me to meet the Lord Chancellor in my life...Young hero, you are my benefactor. If this merit is true, you must go and meet the Lord Chancellor of the Law Academy."

While talking, Zhang Zhang handed the wax pill to Qin Jinyang again.

He was also curious in his heart, but fear still defeated curiosity.

What's more, the dungster Zhang doesn't know much about literacy, so he has to find a scholar to help him read. If the news leaks out, his life may not be saved.

That person repeatedly told me to do things in secret and not to reveal anything.

Zhang is not stupid.

"this……"

Qin Jinyang held the dagger and wax pills, feeling that things were not that simple.

It's a pity that Jiang Wutai left just now, otherwise he would have been able to let the scumbag Zhang make meritorious services right now.

To take credit from others is to take advantage of others' danger.

"Young hero, don't think about it anymore, try your best first, and then see the dean of the Law Academy!"

"I wish you success in your studies and a successful career as soon as possible..."

The dung man knelt down on his knees and kowtowed seriously and solemnly.

Then he ran away in a flash.

From today on, when Zhang Lang meets Qin Jinyang on the road, he will also pretend not to know him.

His humble status will drag down the young hero's reputation.

"well……"

For a moment, Qin Jinyang had mixed feelings.

Poor people have nothing, but sometimes they are so generous, so generous that it makes people feel ashamed.

What news is there in this wax pill?

Qin Jinyang pinched the wax pill, feeling a little curious.

But he still resisted crushing it.

After all, it was for Jiang Wutai, and he knew the court official well, so it would be impolite to open the letter privately.

…

Qin Jinyang left the bath.

He was going to have breakfast, but before he had gone far, a middle-aged man stopped him.

"Sir Qin Jinyang, our master has invited you!"

The middle-aged man had a murderous look on his face, and his words were stiff and polite.

It's like a butcher covered in blood, insisting on holding a book and chewing words, which is extremely weird.

"Your master? Who?"

Qin Jinyang frowned.

"Ji Shouxiang, Minister of Criminal Affairs, Mr. Ji!"

The middle-aged man's face was expressionless.

"Master Ji..."

"I'm not very familiar with Mr. Ji, why is he looking for me?"

Qin Jinyang was even more anxious.

Hongmen Banquet?

Could it be that you are so angry that you want to kill me?

So urgent?

"My lord is looking for you about the case of Princess Xuanjin. I want to ask you something personally."

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry and explained to Qin Jinyang patiently.

Qin Jinyang nodded and could only follow the middle-aged man.

Regardless of whether it is Hongmen Banquet or not, you must go and take a look.

…

"Master Xiao Qin, long time no see. How are you? Are you still used to visiting Jade City?"

Qin Jinyang finally met Ji Shouxiang.

He sat behind the desk, leaning back on the chair in a very leisurely manner.

Ji Shouxiang was full of concern as he spoke.

Judging from his superficial attitude, Ji Shouxiang doesn't look like a villain who plots against others. He has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has a somewhat heroic air of not being angry or asserting himself.

"Thank you, Lord Ji, for your concern. I am going to Guilu Mountain for a trial soon. I feel a little nervous."

Qin Jinyang also said politely.

"Actually, there's no need to be nervous."

"There are nine areas in Guilu Mountain. In the first three areas, the house-snatching lice are not very lethal, which is the combat power of ordinary third-grade. They are just more in number. When you climb the mountain, the academy will also give you two kinds of medicinal liquids. , one is the disgusting smell of house lice, which can temporarily drive away the lice... The other is the smell that the lice are most obsessed with. At the critical moment, it can divert the attention of the lice to the east..."

"As long as you are respectful, don't wander into the fourth area, and restrain your greed for success, your life will generally not be in danger."

"As for the fourth area, these two medicinal solutions have no effect."

Ji Shouxiang is very enthusiastic, like an elder who cares for future generations and is telling some experiences.

"Thank you, Sir, for clarifying my doubts."

Qin Jinyang crossed his fists.

Indeed, as Ji Shouxiang said, the first three floors are not life-threatening. In these three areas, house-snatching lice are the weakest defective products. They mainly harass you, making it impossible for you to concentrate on washing the clock, let alone Concentrate on comprehending Xuan Kung.

However, these three districts have the largest number of people, and the initial pressure is the most critical.

The academy also noticed these situations and specially refined two medicinal liquids, so that at least the new members would not have to go to the hospital in vain.

"Do you want to ask me about the case when you come to me? If I have seen any evidence, I will tell you everything."

The atmosphere in the study was a bit depressing.

Although Ji Shouxiang had a pleasant appearance, in Qin Jinyang's eyes, his smile was extremely hypocritical, similar to a state where he was smiling but not smiling.

Qin Jinyang wanted to prevaricate and leave here quickly.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with Princess Xuanjin's case. I just want to talk to you alone."

Ji Shouxiang shook his head, the smile on his face getting wider.

Qin Jinyang observed carefully, and even saw some disdain deep in Ji Shouxiang's eyes. This disdain seemed to be mocking Qin Jinyang: You are not worthy of being involved in Princess Xuanjin's case because you are overestimating your capabilities? "

"You have to sign in and register. Time is tight, so I will get straight to the point and won't beat around the bush."

"Qin Jinyang, are you willing to join me? I happen to be short of an adopted son... I want to accept you as my adopted son."

Ji Shouxiang said abruptly.

"ah?"

Qin Jinyang was stunned.

Brother, are you kidding me?

Straight to the point, you just want to take advantage of me?

Do you think I am a fatherless person?

"Hahaha, isn't it a little sudden?"

"Actually, I admired you when I was in Kyoto. At that time, I wanted to adopt you as my adopted son... As long as you call me godfather, we will be a family from now on, and I will treat you as my own son."

Ji Shouxiang patted Qin Jinyang's shoulder. His hand was neither light nor heavy. It was just a pat on the shoulder, but it actually conveyed the deep feeling of father and son's love.

"If my guess is correct, do you have something you want to ask me to do?"

Qin Jinyang smiled.

Nothing is free in this world.

It is no joke for Ji Shou Xiang, the dignified minister of the Ministry of Justice, to adopt a godson.

"right!"

"Since we are a family, my father's enemies are your enemies."

"You help my father kill Wu Shuangqi. Our father's good days will really come when he is promoted to Minister of Punishment."

"My father knows that you have some friendship with Wu Shuangqi, but my father has also investigated your past in detail. In fact, you are not his subordinate at all. At most, you just dealt with Wu Zhiqian together."

Ji Shouxiang really didn't hide anything.

Such treasonous things as killing the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came out of his mouth casually, just as easily as the old lady at the entrance of the village chewing her tongue.

"Sir, are you kidding me?"

"First of all, let's not mention my friendship with Mr. Wu. With my mediocre skills, what can I use to assassinate the Minister of Punishment?"

"I also want to be successful, but I have to enjoy it first."

This time, Qin Jinyang was really shocked.

This Ji Shouxiang really thinks highly of himself.

"Of course you can't be the one responsible for the assassination! You will have to make great achievements in the court in the future. We, father and son, work together and can cut through gold. No matter what, we cannot bear the crime of assassination on you."

"What's more, I have fought with Wu Shuangqi for so many years, and I know his character best."

"He has a suspicious personality, is wary of others, and is as timid as a mouse. He always wears several anti-assassination weapons."

"To deal with this kind of beast, you have to be smart... You can secretly drug Wu Shuangqi and create opportunities for my killers."

Ji Shouxiang disdained the name Wu Shuangqi.

Every time the words Wu Shuangqi are mentioned, Ji Shouxiang's eyes flash, and Qin Jinyang thinks of the enemy who killed his father.

"What if I refuse?"

"Refuse to be your son and refuse to assassinate Wu Shuangqi."

Qin Jinyang suddenly asked.

His expression was serious.

"Then you will definitely die and may go to hell at any moment."

Ji Shouxiang was not surprised, but explained with a calm expression:

"You are a smart person and a good genius. I really recognize you in my heart. Since you can't be used by me, I can't leave you to Wu Shuangqi."

Ji Shouxiang looked as if he should take it for granted.

"Aren't you afraid that I will expose your intentions and let Wu Shuangqi guard you day and night?"

Qin Jinyang asked again.

"It's not worth considering."

"Looking at the court, who doesn't know that I, Ji Shouxiang, want to be the minister?"

"The Sixth Department of the Imperial Court, that minister doesn't want to kill the minister, and Wu Shuangqi is not a fool, so you don't need to remind him."

Ji Shouxiang smiled.

"It's getting late, you go to the Academy to report first, don't waste time!"

"If you think about it one day, put the powder into Bai Taikong's wine... When Bai Taikong is poisoned, that's the day our father and son will recognize each other."

Ji Shouxiang did not force Qin Jinyang, and pointed to a small paper bag on the table calmly.

"Bai Taikong?"

"Why are you related to Bai Taikong again?"

Qin Jinyang was even more confused.

The person you killed was Wu Shuangqi. What does it mean to drag Bai Taikong into the water?

"Bai Taikong is very annoying. My father still has some matters at Yuzhi Academy. He is like a fly and should always keep his mouth shut."

The corners of Ji Shouxiang's mouth moved, half-smiling.

"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Ji to act so recklessly. I thought you would play some tricks."

Qin Jinyang sneered.

"Conspiracy?"

Ji Shouxiang also smiled: "I'll tell you something you don't want to hear... You and Bai Taikong are not worthy of your level!"

The atmosphere in the study was a little solemn again.

After a few breaths, Qin Jinyang took the medicine bag away.

"I think think!"

After the words fell, Qin Jinyang left.

It seemed that he had to meet Bai Taikong as soon as possible to make him mentally prepared.

…

After Qin Jinyang left, another middle-aged man came into the study.

"Find a way to kill him on Guilu Mountain. He won't become one of our own."

Ji Shouxiang looked at a portrait on the table.

The person in the painting is none other than Qin Jinyang.

"He took the powder and might be willing to poison Bai Taikong."

Middle-aged humanity.

"It's impossible, there's no murderous intent in his eyes!"

"Sooner or later, this person will be a scourge. He failed the Guilu Mountain test and was killed by house-snatching lice. This is the most reasonable way to die."

"You cannot feed your enemies. The sooner you kill them, the sooner you will feel at ease."

Ji Shouxiang stared at Qin Jinyang's eyes in the portrait.

Qin Jinyang had murderous intent in his eyes.

But it was not towards Wu Shuangqi, let alone Bai Taikong... it was towards himself.
