Chapter 160 Good for nothing(2/2)
He was also very picky about his food, and finally stole the owner's money and ran away overnight.
Afterwards, this person appeared in another city, pretending to be mute and apprenticed to a teacher. When the other party saw that he was mute, he kindly took him in again. He carried water and chopped firewood every morning and practiced martial arts in the afternoon. Who would have thought that this person was just a hot-blooded person who could not work for three days?
When he arrived, he couldn't hold on any longer, so he stole the mistress's jewelry and sneaked away again.
This man walked north along the official road. Since he had no skills and was speechless, he mostly engaged in rooster and dog stealing. When he got money, he drank and ate meat. When he was destitute, he begged and stole. After half a month, he was finally arrested.
The beggar gang found out that no one could understand what he said, so they chopped off his hands and feet and brought him to Chang'an to beg.
Or because he was speechless, this man was tortured by the beggar gang and could not get justice. Every day, the beggar gang took him to the streets and shouted loudly. No one could understand what he was shouting. Seeing his misery, they gave him money.
Half a month passed in this way. Because it was summer and the wound was not properly treated, it eventually festered and rotted. He was dying and was abandoned on the street by the beggar gang. Then he met Ni Tuo.
Through back-and-forth visits and multiple investigations, Ni Zhuo finally determined that this person was telling the truth, because someone saw this person suddenly appearing in the morning fog that day.
This person also told Ni Zuo about the scene a thousand years later, but Ni Zuo couldn't understand it at all. It wasn't that he couldn't understand what he said, but he didn't understand what he was talking about.
Compared to the situation a thousand years later, Ni Zhuo is more concerned about the change of dynasties, so the conversation with this person mainly focuses on the change of dynasties. This person comes from a thousand years later, and he should know more about what has happened.
Facts have proved that this person does know something, but what he knows is very general and not detailed, so communication is very difficult.
This person knew that there were Concubine Yang Guifei and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, as well as Wu Zetian and Di Renjie, but he had many misunderstandings about the specific circumstances of these people. He said that Di Renjie was investigating cases for Wu Zetian. Little did he know that Di Renjie was appointed as the Prime Minister of Dali Temple during the Fengyi period.
The thing is, the emperor at that time was still Gaozong Li Zhi.
This person also knew about the Anshi Rebellion, but he only knew that there was such a thing and could not explain the specific circumstances.
Regarding the change of dynasties, this person was very sure about the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. He only said that the Tang Dynasty was followed by the Song Dynasty, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty was Zhao Kuangyin.
Little is known about Zhao Kuangyin. We only know that Zhao Kuangyin became emperor through the Chenqiao Mutiny.
After getting the news, Ni Zhuo immediately sent people to secretly investigate, but the result of the investigation was that there was indeed a place called Chenqiao, but there was no such person as Zhao Kuangyin.
By this time, Ni Zhuo already knew that although this person came from a thousand years later, he was ignorant and ignorant of historical facts. However, after finally encountering such a strange thing, he still hoped to gain something, so he sent the emperor and the
The powerful people told them one by one, but the person had no impression of the person he was talking about. Just before the person died, Ni Zhuo finally gained something. This person actually knew about Huang Chao, and knew that the Tang Dynasty fell into power not long after Huang Chao's uprising.
perished.
This is an extremely important clue, because Huang Chao died six years ago. Combined with the current chaotic court situation and the self-respect of the Jiedushi army, Ni Zhuo finally concluded that the Tang Dynasty would be replaced by the Song Dynasty soon.
After listening to Ni Zhuo's talk, he didn't answer immediately. He didn't quite understand why people from a thousand years later appeared a thousand years ago, but he believed in Ni Zhuo's ability to distinguish between true and false. Moreover, Ni Zhuo did find out the truth through private investigation.
He was a witness who witnessed this person's sudden appearance, so he didn't doubt that the person came from a thousand years in the future.
But he didn't quite believe this person's account of the change of dynasties, because this person was obviously uneducated, and his character was also very lowly. He just listened to what this person said, and his credibility was not high.
However, in order to reassure Ni Zhuo, he solemnly stated, "Don't worry, sir, I am a Taoist priest and will not act against heaven."
Hearing this, Ni Zhuo felt slightly relieved, and then said, "Don't tell Yi'er about this matter. It will do more harm than good, and will only cause more trouble."
Ni Zhuo nodded. What he said makes sense. Some truths can only be held in the hands of a very small number of mentally strong people. If ordinary people knew about it, they would be surprised, confused and at a loss.
Ni Zhuo put away his things and left the courtyard where the study was located.
Back in the back hall, Ni Chenyi was waiting anxiously. When he saw the two returning, he hurriedly greeted them. Without talking to Ni Zhuo, he pulled them out and said, "It's getting late. I'll take you back."
Ni Zhuo knew that Ni Chenyi was angry with him, so he didn't mind. He smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
When there was no one around, Ni Chenyi asked eagerly, "What did my father show you?"
"I saw a strange set of clothes," he said casually, "What a strange person. He is clearly a monster incarnation. The clothes are also made of the monster's fur. The monster's words cannot be trusted."
Ni Chenyi was not easy to deceive. Lest she didn't believe it, he casually said, "It's really a strange outfit. I won't lie to you."
"My dad likes to collect these weird things." Ni Chenyi said.
"Yes," he said, "he is not very optimistic about the situation in the DPRK and there is some uncertainty. However, he is also worried that I will go all the way to the dark side and get myself involved in the end."
"My father is afraid that I will become a widow." Ni Chenyi said with a smile.
He glanced at Ni Chenyi and shook off her hand.
As soon as he got rid of it, Ni Chenyi immediately grabbed him again. He had no choice but to let her hold him.
After leaving the Ni Mansion, the servants brought Mr. Hei over. Mr. Hei was not untouchable by anyone. He was very smart and could read people's words and knew that this family was the master's friend.
He bid farewell to Ni Chenyi and rode back to Yushitai.
I was busy from morning to night all day, and I was a little tired, so I went back to my residence and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door.
Thinking that it was an official from the headquarters who was urging him to go to court, he casually said, "I have urgent official duties and I won't go to court."
"Sir, it's me." Big Tou's voice said.
"Didn't you buy a horse from them?" He turned over and sat up, stretching.
"Yes," Datou said, "but the imperial examination list for the main examination was posted today. I copied a copy and sent it back to you."
Hearing Da Tou's words, he suddenly woke up and started to get up and get dressed, "What are the rules for a martial arts contest?"
"It's quite complicated, you'd better see it yourself." Datou said.
"What are the restrictions?" asked.
"There are no restrictions at all," Datou said, "and they don't say that concealed weapons or poisons are not allowed."
"What about age? Is there any age limit?" He went to the ground and put on his shoes.
"No," Datou vaguely guessed what he was thinking, "Sir, you don't want to fight again, do you? There are no restrictions in this competition, and all the participants are masters, so many people will definitely die."
