Chapter 411 If you have money, you don’t need to explain

Lin Chong pondered and analyzed, "There are many ways to guess riddles. In this riddle, 'Natural is also very versatile, and it is different from human things'. It sounds a bit ghostly, and seems different from humans... Well, the man on the river is not talking about Central Plains, so this sentence is mysterious: He is different from us, not Central Plains; 'You must know my true surname, the big character is a little red in the south' - here it implies that riddles adopt a demonstration method, and maybe a shrimp whisker grid and a roller shutter grid (this is two riddle formats)..."

Sun Li immediately added: "Xin Xingzong just said that the language spoken by this person was not the language of the Western foreigners at all - at least not the Khitan."

Lin Chong thought and said, "The man on the boat is standing in the Gan position, Bing Ding Fire in the south, and is responsible for the swords and weapons. The calculation is based on the Bagua hexagram... Oh, the Bagua hexagram, the shape of the southern hexagram is similar to the shape of the 'three', and the 'small red one at the south', then this word should be 'Big King' plus two dots - gold."

"Golden Man" Sun Li blurted out and immediately corrected: "Is this a Golden Man King?"

"That's right... well, it should be like this. 'It's different from human things'. It's not only that he is not from the Central Plains, but also that he is not an ordinary person. 'The big character "is red from the south end of the south" means that he is a 'Gold King'-Gold King"

Even those who sold sesame cakes on the roadside knew about Song Jin's signing of the maritime alliance, and Sun Li and Lin Chong knew about it. Sun Li wondered: "It is impossible. The Jin people are barbarians, and they hid among the white mountains and black waters to live in a vain. But from the riddle he produced, the riddles are very proficient in our riddle techniques. Even an old scholar who is well-read about poetry and books is not necessarily so proficient in riddle patterns and riddles... This is the trick we play with. Can the Jurchens be so proficient in it? I don't believe it."

Lin Chong ignored Sun Li's mumbling, thought for a while, and blurted out: "I was reckless - I did this right, I shouldn't hesitate."

Sun Li hesitated for a moment and immediately executed Shi Chuan's order, but he executed the order out of military instinct and did not think about it. At this time, when he heard Lin Chong's words, he not only stared at Lin Chong and asked, "What do you mean?"

"This person is not from the Central Plains, which is already certain... According to the riddle, this person is a Jin king. So, Song Jingang had just signed a maritime alliance. What did the Jin king come to Jiangnan to do?

Logically speaking, as an ally, if the Jin people had no evil intentions and came here for official purposes only, then as long as he showed his identity, the local officials would definitely treat him diligently. Tong Guanzhang was the one who strongly advocated signing the maritime covenant. Now that the envoy has arrived at his territory, can he not greet him? But the other party just didn't show his identity, but instead disguised himself and went secretly - why?"

Lin Chong's question was not answered. After a while, Lin Chong whispered: "In the past, Changqing once said something very reasonable. What he said was: Infer according to the truth, no matter how incredible the result is, if the reasoning process is correct, then this incredible result is correct, and it is likely that it is the only correct one.

What this is reasonable. When the King of Jin hides his identity and comes to the war-torn Jiangnan when he is in a turmoil, what should he do? Following the reason, the more he thinks, the more he feels scared... So Shi Changqing does not explain and insists on killing the King of Jin, and also searching the other party's luggage, and be sure that there is a copy file in the other party's luggage - although this conclusion is a bit incredible, it is the only reasonable explanation. Only this explanation can verify what Shi Changqing did.

So I just said: I was reckless. I shouldn’t have disobeyed Shi Changqing’s orders—you think, Shi Changqing, who has always been calm, suddenly showed a charcoal-burning spirit, and there must be a reason. My guess just now is the reason."

Sun Li still didn't believe it: "It's impossible. The Jin Kingdom has a small power and can't breathe under the oppression of the Khitan. Only by uniting our Song Dynasty and letting the Liao Kingdom start war on both sides can we have some breathing. The sea alliance between the Song and Jin Dynasty was also beneficial to the Jin people. After defeating the Liao Kingdom, our Song Dynasty did not covet the land of Liao, and only took Yanyun's old land. The Jin people were not very happy to see this, so the two sides signed the contract? According to you, the Jin people went south... the Jin people went south..."

When Sun Li said this, he was suddenly frightened by his own words.

A Jin king came to Jiangnan with his identity hidden at this time. Is his purpose still possible? He must have been to get information. Song Jin was obviously an ally, and the Jin people wanted relevant information from the Song State, such as the general intelligence that worked with the Jin people. Military intelligence, so do you still need to do it yourself? As long as they say it, we will serve it with both hands.

Now that the Jin people are secretly coming to Jiangnan, the information they want is definitely not the part of the information that Song State disclosed to the Jin people. So what the Jin people want is that part of the information, and that part of the information is what they are interested in but do not want the Song Dynasty to know that they are interested... Do you still need to guess?

That's right, only in this way can we explain Shi Chuan's behavior just now - Shi Chuan must have guessed the riddle and realized that the other party's intention was not good for the Song Dynasty. But this was Song Jin's honeymoon stage, and he guessed the other party's intention, but unfortunately no one believed it when he said it out, so he simply stopped it with killing and did not explain it later.

This is the most reasonable explanation for the abnormal behavior of wearing time.

"I'm afraid this matter will not be cured," Sun Li said worriedly.

The Song Dynasty was an era of law-abiding, with power being restricted, merchants being protected, and inventions and creations having copyright laws...

This is not an era where people can be labeled as gangsters and can be killed at will. Shi Chuan is facing a traveler and shouting to kill him in front of many people. Even if they are in a state of war, some people will jump out and deny him. Thinking about how arrogant Wang Anshi was at the time, he would be exiled as long as he disagreed with his proposal. How rampant his disciple Cai Jing was, there were still people who argued against them. Now, since Shi Chuan cannot give a reason, then Shi Chuan will fall into this matter.

Thinking about Xin Xingzong's attitude just now, I knew... Maybe Xin Xingzong was writing a memorial when he went back, and maybe the memorial was still walking on the road at this moment.

"I can only take one step at a time..." Lin Chong shook his head with a wry smile: "Mr. Shi really found something from that man's boat, it is probably hard to say it - I can't say it, you and I can't believe it. Who would believe Mr. Shi?"

Lin Chong's words "Master Shi" were sincere. After this deduction, he was already impressed by Shi Chuan - he was also on the scene at that time. This deduction was confirmed after he came down for a long time. Shi Chuan deduced the result at that time and issued a decisive killing order. Why was he so slow at that time? Only now can he react?

It seems that the intellectual gap cannot be smeared through personal efforts. Wisdom is a slight gap that makes people sigh.

"If the matter is coming, I will only be on the sidelines," Lin Chong continued to add: "It is normal for us Liangshan heroes to rob passers-by. It is a sin to put this matter on Lord Shi, and we will at most be 'thief'. I just disobeyed Lord Shi, and Lord Shi has always provided us with delicious food and drink. I should not hesitate to his orders. Therefore, only now, as long as we protect Lord Shi, brothers can protect the rest of their lives - I will only do it."

Sun Li thought about it, his lips twitched a few times, and sighed and said, "Where is Xin Xingzong..."

"Let Yang Weizhong come and persuade..." Lin Chong replied resolutely: "Brother Sun does not need to be guilty. As long as you protect me, I will definitely not have any major events. Yang Weizhong is the first to participate in this matter. Xin Xingzong wants to raise his head and cannot ignore Yang Weizhong. It is difficult for the foreigners to be in the official army. Yang Weizhong has put this matter on the ground and will always be a handle in the future. The foreigners don't know the situation now, so we can tell the inside story..."

Sun Li suddenly burst into laughter, and Lin Chong glared at him when he heard the laughter. Sun Li said uncontrollably: "Not right, you tell Yang Weizhong that rash man, will Yang Weizhong blame him and drag him into the water?...Don't be angry, I suddenly laughed because I thought of our identity. Who are we? Shi Xiuwu's defeated generals. At that time, Xu Wu trapped us on the Haizhou Pier and could not move forward or retreat... Do you think that with his wisdom, he would put himself in trouble?

Haha, hahaha, we two people who were half a beat slow to react are thinking about the crime of Shi Xiuwu. Maybe at this time, Shi Xiuwu had already wiped his butt and was celebrating... Scout, what is the situation ahead?"

Sun Li changed the subject and heard his order. A scout immediately stepped forward to answer: "Sun General, the road ahead... the situation ahead is really unreasonable. There were suddenly a large group of people twenty miles away. Look at the situation, it was not like refugees who fled to famine, because the team seemed to be organized. But it was not like soldiers, because they did not have weapons..."

"It's Fang La's people," Sun Li immediately concluded: "Did they have red scarves on their heads?"

The scout was originally from Liangshan, and was a confidant whom Sun Li brought to Haizhou Tuanlian. So he spoke casually and replied: "It was because of the red scarf that the brothers dared not make a conclusion."

"Continue to the sentry - it is probably Fang La's people. I heard that the rioters he brought had no weapons, so I told my brothers to be careful and not to get too close." Sun Li ordered a few words and turned to Lin Chong and said, "Let's not cry when watching the show, worry about the ancients. Let Shi Xiuwu deal with this matter himself. As long as we fight the war well, it can be considered as a reward for Shi Xiuwu's kindness."

"What I said is," Lin Chong cheered up: "A handsome man covers up all the ugliness. If we fight the battle well, no one can tell the problem - order Team Wu and Team Ren to advance along both sides of the road, unfold their queues, and ready to fight at any time."

At this time, at the entrance of Meizhu Town, Shi Chuan and Yang Weizhong's team had already completed, but neither of them set off, and Xin Xingzong did not move. He looked at the fishermen salvaged in the stream, and watched the united troops of Liangzhe Road crossing the shoulders and heading towards Jianping Town - this town is adjacent to Guangde Army and about eighty miles from Meizhu Town.

After a while, the fisherman came over and presented a few boxes: "A few radish boxes were picked up in the river, and the style was very exquisite... Look?"

The box is exquisitely made, with the red paint on it that can be seen, and the pattern carved from shells is inlaid under the paint. Just look at the style of the box, it seems that the traveler is a Song people. The paint on the box is Song lacquer, which is what is called "Japanese lacquer" in modern times. A wolf-tooth-shaped lock is hung on the box, which is made of copper. Only this lock seems to be a bit alien, because the Song people mostly used iron locks, and there are very few copper locks. However, the wolf-tooth-shaped locks are typical Han Dynasty locks, which the Han people called "Yuque" locks, which do not seem to be completely alien style.

There were many types of locks in ancient times, but the keys were all the same style, and they were all plug-in lock-opening methods, so the only difference between keys was length and width. This kind of lock was hard to wear, so I found a copper piece at will. But the box was opened, and countless round bead-like things were presented to everyone.

"It's the Dongzhu", Shi Chuan glanced at the beads that were round and round, with a color as light as gold, and the size of a pigeon egg.

The Jurchens were a nation that was good at keeping secrets of their own nation and making up facts. For example, the difference between the white and black surnames in their nations was kept until modern times. According to many studies, modern people only came to the simple conclusion that "the white surname is probably a royal family, a noble surname, and a black surname is relatively low." And Dongzhu is also one of the secrets kept by the Jurchens.

According to legend, Dongzhu is a pearl produced by cold water clams. When collecting it, black swans need to be used to swallow this pearl clam. After the black swan is lubricated and rubbed and discharged from the body through gastric juice, it eventually becomes a precious tribute like "Dongzhu". However, in modern times, no matter how people look for it, they cannot find the relevant cold water pearl clams in the three northeastern provinces, so people believe that this pearl clam has been extinct due to over-excavation.

But in fact, Dongzhu has nothing to do with pearls, although both are round.

According to modern research on the residual Qing Dynasty "chao beads", the so-called Dongzhu is probably a kind of beeswax, which is a beeswax beads that evolved over thousands of years in the Daxinganling area. Or it was not originally bead-shaped, but only after special processes and polishing and processing.

And this kind of beeswax has a more popular name, called "amber".

In modern times, amber is actually not worthwhile. As long as you understand a little knowledge of junior high school chemistry, you can use pine wax to make amber. If natural materials are completely used during the processing process, even if modern instruments are used, it is impossible to distinguish the difference between natural amber and artificial amber. The "Polish amber" sold in the modern Chinese market has a sales volume of equivalent to Poland's five hundred years of natural amber production. If this continues to be sold for decades, if all natural amber in the market is really natural amber, all natural amber in human history is not enough to be sold in China.

So in modern times, the "natural Polish amber" is used to scare ignorant little girls... Oh, now you can scare Xinxingzong.

"Dongzhu, it grows in an extremely cold lake in the Heilongjiang area of ​​Changbai Mountain. It takes hundreds of years to grow so big. The clam shells of Dongzhu need to be identified by black swans. Local pearl pickers raise black swans at home. In spring, they release the black swans..." Shi Chuan vividly talked about the legend about Dongzhu made up by the Jurchens, and thought maliciously: How about I go home to open a Dongzhu production site? I can quickly devalue the luxury goods like Dongzhu. Then, the only luxury goods left in the Jurchens to balance trade are left is "ginseng"...

"Anyway, this thing is very rare," Shi Chuan concluded. After a while, he called Yang Weizhong: "Old Yang, your subordinates have made great efforts, you can choose this thing first..."

In fact, when talking about Dongzhu, Yang Weizhong, a native of Dangxiang, already knew where the man on the boat came from. He looked at Dongzhu in the box with a drooling look and said to himself: "It turned out to be 'Tana (the name of Dongzhu by the Jurchens)', it was indeed crystal clear, round and huge...ah, it showed the honor of the king.

It is said that when the Emperor of Liao was hunting in winter and spring, he forced the Jurchens to brave the cold, dig ice into the water, pick clams and pick beads, so that many Jurchens died tragically in the river, but found nothing. Wanyan Aguda, the leader of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, took advantage of this hatred to rebel against Liao, and the two sides have been fighting all the time - this box of Dongzhu is really to be given to the Emperor of Liao, and it will be no problem to change a city... Hehe, no wonder you attacked that person. If I knew in advance that the other party carried so many Dongzhu, I would have to do it."

Among the Jurchens, pearl collection has always been an extremely secretive and professional institution. In the Qing Dynasty, only people from Shangsanqi (Two Yellow Banners and Zhengbai Banners) could pick pearls. For this reason, a special pearl collection organization "Zhuxuan" was specially set up... If the Jurchens continued this confidentiality measure, then the pearl collection people forced by the Emperor of Liao were the nobles among the Jurchens. No wonder Aguda could use this hatred to unite the Jurchens in various tribes.

"It turned out to be a girl..." Xin Xingzong understood: "It turns out that the answer to that riddle is 'Jin'... Ah, no, this is unreasonable."

The word "听一" is also pronounced as "Juchen". This is to avoid the taboo of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, and the word "听" written in a lack of strokes, but the pronunciation method is still "Juchen".

Lantern riddles were invented by the Song people, and the Song people played this expert. As long as they gave a little hint, the Song people could immediately guess the answer to the lantern riddles. As long as people with normal IQs think about it, they could immediately feel the strangeness of the Jin people sneaking into Jiangnan with a transvestment... But this kind of thing really cannot be said, let alone now that they have obtained huge treasures.

Sure enough, after Shi Chuanren Yang Weizhong selected ten East Pearls, he immediately handed the box to Xinxingzong. At this time, Xinxingzong also heard Yang Weizhong's clumsy Dangxiangyu's emotion, translated into the full Song Dynasty. Yang Weizhong said: "It's a blessing to be reduced. Such a valuable thing is a blessing to be reduced at a glance. I didn't expect to get ten more home... Ah, this battle is worth it, and I have to get a few pieces of jewelry for my wife when I go home. The rest, I buy horses from nearby tribes and sell them to Shi Changqing for free... Ah, I want to change the war horses full of pits and valleys... Hehehehe..."

"This..." Xin Xingzong was worried a lot. He hung his hand on the box for a moment and suddenly felt that the passing soldiers were looking around. He was shocked and quickly flashed and covered the soldiers' curious eyes with his body. He paused for a moment, and only heard Shi Chuan said lightly: "It doesn't matter. The united soldiers were all outside the town at that time, even if they saw this thing now..."

Yang Weizhong understood the meaning of Shicheng, and he immediately said to Xin Xingzong in Dangxiang language: "How many people know this thing in the Song Dynasty? If we hadn't had contact with the Liao people in Shaanxi, we probably wouldn't have thought that there were such a big bead in the world... Don't worry, no one knows this thing."

"Just..." Xin Xingzong swallowed and asked in Dangxiang with difficulty: "You just obeyed Shi Changqing's command and attacked Jiang Shangren, did you ever think of this now?"

"I didn't expect it," Yang Weizhong replied carelessly: "We have never suffered any losses since we contacted this Song official, so I don't think he will cheat me. As for what he asked me to do, isn't it just killing people? Our family came to Jiangnan and did this job around the official family and for the official. There is no difference."

"You think it's simple." Xin Xingzong turned his gaze to the box. After his mind was settled, his fierce greed prevailed. He didn't realize it to the sky: "Dongzhu, I haven't heard of such a big bead... For this treasure passed down from generation to generation, I did it."

Before Xin Xingzong's hand fell, the envoy sent by Sun Li had arrived, and he heard the inquirer Ma Chihou report loudly: "Sir, the front army has discovered that a unit of Fang La army has come along Langxi to Jianping Town, with a total of about 100,000 people..."
