Chapter 37 The Secret History of Martial Arts
Three days later, we moved to Wuyi Lane, and Jiangnan also made a lot of efforts in it. Of course, I also acquiesced to it.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. He was originally a beggar, and he was a very clever beggar. He was very clear to the Three Sects and Nine Liomens in Jinling, which was of great use to me.
Although Xu Kaishan’s Battle of Zhuque Street was dull, it caused an uproar in the world. His poisoning was extremely cleverly concealed, and it was not leaked. The reason why it caused a sensation was because Xu Kaishan called the saying of the rivers and lakes as a fly.
This sentence is like stepping on the tail of an old cat, making the field of Xiaosheng Jianghu and Gossip Weekly jump up. Gossip Weekly published a special article titled "Xu Kaishan, you owe Jianghu an apology!", denounced Xu Kaishan's immoral behavior and shouted from afar, asking Xu Kaishan to apologize publicly.
I showed him the article, and Xu Kaishan only looked at the title and threw it on the ground to put the table legs.
The momentum of attacking Xu Kaishan became stronger and stronger. Seeing that Xu Kaishan was silent, the Gossip Weekly became more and more demanding, and began to expose Xu Kaishan again, bringing out all the murders that Xu Kaishan committed in the world. Xu Kaishan just smiled when he saw it.
It is probably Xu Kaishan as the topic figure. The sales of gossip weekly magazines have increased significantly in recent issues, so they have another extremely bad article, "Excerpting the grudges and love between the Fairy of Flowers and Xu Kaishan". After all, it is a gossip weekly magazine. Those who make up for their own things finally angered Xu Kaishan.
On a night of intoxicating spring breeze, Xu Kaishan sent a fly swatter to Bagua Weekly and demonstrated seven poses to kill flies to the other party. The next day, Bagua Weekly moved out of Jinling City silently.
According to the original intention of the establishment of the Jianghu Department, this is a Jianghu supervision and management agency, but Jinling City is a bit special in the Jianghu City. There are three or four famous schools in the martial arts family alone, and our staffing is only Qingyi Constable. It is considered a non-competitive stock-level cadre and has no binding force on them at all.
I asked Jiangnan to inform the Wulin Conference, the Wang Family in Jinling, the Zhuhua Gang and the Cao Gang to hold a meeting to discuss matters related to the battle between Xu Kaishan and Feng Wanli. As a result, no one of the others came except for the Cao Gang who sent a minion to replace him.
This clearly doesn't take us seriously! Jiang Nan muttered.
I had expected this situation a long time ago. In fact, I thought about it with my toes and understood that Jinling City Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Masters, how could he obey the orders of the 8th-rank Jianghu Department. But I still insisted on doing this, first to announce my arrival to the Jinling River and Lake, and secondly, I also used Xu Kaishan as the reason to test the depth of the Jinling River and Lake.
Logically speaking, the Liusanmen Jianghu Department of the Prefecture has one chief and one deck and two Qing-robbed officers, and is considered to be an official who is officially registered by the court. Since we are not from the imperial examination, we are not recognized by the mainstream in the officialdom, but we mostly deal with the Jianghu, so it is no big deal.
In addition, the Jianghu Department has ten temporary establishments of the yamen runners, which are equivalent to the Ming City Management, and are responsible for assisting the relevant management of the Jianghu Department. I left one of the places to Jiangnan. He was originally a beggar and was familiar with Jinling City and did not have the bad habits of the old man in the officialdom, so he naturally did his best to do his best.
I went to Zhuge Shaobing to borrow someone, but he refused on the grounds that he was under great pressure from public security and lacked manpower.
Originally, I wanted Xu Kaishan to join in, but on the one hand, he was preparing to fight Feng Wanli, and on the other hand, he was anxious to find the whereabouts of his daughter. I tried my best to speak out, and he reluctantly agreed to be the consultant of the Jianghu Department. Of course, Lu Zhongyuan authorized me to handle Xu Kaishan's affairs with full authority, so there was no need to go to Yingtianfu Prison.
For the remaining quotas, I asked Jiangnan to prepare a pen and write about ten recruitment revelations, saying that the Six-Sandmen Jianghu Department recruited dispatched employees, with preferential treatment, five insurances and one fund, and those with work experience were given priority. The two of them ran in Jinling City for a day and posted them in a conspicuous place. As a result, they went to see them again the next day and were already infertile and Ms. Bao's small card was blocked.
The Jianghu Department had no clue at all, but fortunately nothing happened. I remembered that I agreed to Xu Kaishan's affairs, so I went to the Archives Department with Jiangnan to read the archives of the Zhenjiang tragedy that year.
Although Jiangnan was a beggar, he also studied in a private school. It is said that his grandfather was a great guard at the time, but now he is seriously ill. As a result, he joined the Beggars' Sect.
Fifteen years have passed, and the six doors have changed one after another. The family massacre that caused a sensation back then is now submerged in moldy paper piles.
Found it! Jiangnan brought a file, which was the tragedy of Zhenjiang Prefecture in the sixth year of Jingyuan. The file was sealed with fire paint, and I put it on the candlestick to roast it, took the seal, opened it and read it.
The content recorded in the file is similar to what I heard in Zhenjiang Prefecture that night. There are some confessions from witnesses, but in the final statement and index part, a line of words is written.
This matter is a follow-up to the Huashan Rebellion and also a follow-up to the Demon Sect, and has been included in the "Secret History of the Wulin".
Could it be that the person who rescued Xu Kaishan's daughter that night was a member of the Demon Sect? The Huashan Rebellion should be the Hanging Sword Pavilion Rebellion that Xu Kaishan mentioned back then. It was that time that completely changed Xu Kaishan's fate.
The Secret History of the Martial Arts? There is a top-secret archive room deep in the Archives Department, but this part of the archives is top-secret archives and locked with a mother-child lock. If you want to retrieve it, you need the Six Gate Chief Captain and the Prefect’s double key.
I came to the door and glanced at the mother-child lock. I laughed in my heart that this mother-child lock was an old model from more than ten years ago. I could open it with eleven methods when I was eight years old. Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing out loud.
When Jiangnan saw me, he said, "Mr. Su, are you crazy?"
I said there is nothing you have to do here, so go and do your work. After leaving Jiangnan, I took out an iron wire and reached it in. The lock of the mother and child had already rusted. It has not been opened for many years. After fiddling for a long time, I was so tired that I was sweating heavily. I thought to myself that I was the descendant of the sect of the Holy Sect and was still stumped by this broken lock? So I found an iron plier...
When I opened the door, the secret room was not big and the light was not good. A smell of mold came.
I turned on the fire lamp, and on the far left of the secret room, there was a row of files with four big words posted on it: The Secret History of the Martial Arts. I thought to myself that there was really a Secret History of the Martial Arts. I leaned over and wrote several file names on it: The Demonic Sect, Murong Villa, the Underworld, etc., and there was also a file that wrote the Stealing Gate Chapter.
I was secretly happy. I was bored recently. It was also good to take the opportunity to learn about the secret history of the martial arts world. These things are all non-public information, so they can be used as topics for discussion in the future, right?
Take out the Murong Villa and read it.
This Murong Villa was the first family in the world, and had several martial arts leaders. The first page is the history of the rise and fall of Murong Villa written by Bai Xiaosheng in the world. From the founding of Taizu to the Ehu Taoism and then to the martial arts conference, it records the rise and fall of Murong Villa over the past century. However, this file is somewhat incomplete, and it was destroyed after the martial arts conference in the seventh year of Kaitai.
I didn't expect that there was still a chapter on the thief here. I didn't think about it, so I put it in my arms. Then there was the chapter on the Underworld, which was probably something of a strange power and a mess of gods. I'll read the Demon Sect first.
At this moment, I felt a warning sign, and a cold sword energy came. Before I could react, a long sword straddled my neck. I said, "Good man, please spare my life."
A woman said in a cold voice: If you make a sound, the head will fall to the ground. If you turn around, the head will fall to the ground, understand?
I cursed in my heart that it was still a woman. I didn't expect that my descendant of the saint would be wise and fell into the hands of a woman, but I said, "I understand the rules very well, I understand the rules."
Before I could react, the two volumes of the Demonic Sect and the Demonic Sect were rolled over by a piece of green silk. Immediately, the sword was removed and I looked back. Who was behind me?
It won't be a ghost, I muttered in my heart, but the Demonic Sect Chapter is no longer there.
It's time to go out of water!
No! I was shocked, but there was a thick smoke outside, and the archives department caught fire. I rushed outside the yard. Zhuge Shaobing brought everyone to put out the fire. Fortunately, there were four large water tanks in the yard, and the fire was extinguished in time. Even so, several files were burned.
Zhuge Shaobing's face turned pale. I said the Archives Department had encountered a thief. Fortunately, the chief of the chief came in time. Zhuge Shaobing said that it was probably a thief. Our Archives Department had no safety accidents for more than ten years, why did you meet a thief just after you came?
I thought to myself, who should I ask for to reason with this? Some subordinates came out of it, the chief constable and the confidential file lost three files. I said there was a thief, but you still don't believe me. Zhuge Shaobing said, "Go and tell the prefect."
The Archives Department case was finally classified as a intentional arson theft case. Intentional arson is a human act, while in disrepair and fire is a safety hazard accident. The former is an unpredictable factor, while the latter is a dereliction of duty in management and has different natures. Because of this, I was scolded by the prefect Song and ordered me to solve the case within one month, otherwise I would be punished with a demerit.
I told Xu Kaishan about the file I saw in the Archives Department. He just nodded and said nothing. However, the battle with Feng Wanli was about to be imminent, and I could see that his expression was a little solemn.
Jiangnan and I were inquiring in Jinling City for a long time, but there was no news about the theft. I had no hope at all. Any ordinary person who had nothing to do was steal something like the secret history of the Jianghu. Moreover, the woman's movements were silent, and she was obviously a child.
I thought I would become a constable and become a law enforcement officer in the Ming Dynasty. I walked on the edge of the law every day, captured thieves, and wisely broke the mysterious murders, and became a hero that everyone admired. As a result, I was doing some trivial things every day in the Jianghu Department.
I went to Zhuge Shaobing and asked if there was a case on hand. I would like to share a few. I was idle every day recently and didn’t know what I was doing.
Zhuge Shaobing was reviewing the file. When he saw me coming, he hurriedly said, Constable Su, you are here just in time. The donkey from the widow Sun's house in the north of the city has run away from home. This matter is very urgent and important. Go and help find it.
I said Is there a bigger case?
Zhuge Shaobing said to Xiao Su, no matter what the masses are doing, don’t behave with small things. This is a task arranged by the superiors. If you don’t go, then go back to Jianghusi and stay there.
In desperation, I responded and found Jiangnan.
The donkey from the widow Sun's house in Jiangnan and north of the city ran away from home. This matter is very urgent and important. You can help find it.
Jiangnan shouted loudly, I won't go.
I asked why, Jiangnan said that Widow Sun gave the donkey three pounds of deer antler a day. Every day when passing by her doorstep, the donkey was crying loudly. If it were me, I would have run away from home.
I said this is a task arranged by my superiors. If you don’t go, then go out to the streets to beg for food.
At this moment, the gate of the Jianghu Siyuan was pushed open, and a young man in a Chinese uniform walked in with a swaying fan in his hand.
Chapter completed!
