Chapter 266: Famous scholar Zheng Xuan

Twenty miles north of Xia Pi City, there is a beautiful place with a beautiful scenery, backed by a lush hill, and a river more than two meters wide at the foot of the mountain. The river water is clear and the fish can be clearly seen. A wooden bridge is built at the turn of the river for pedestrians on both sides of the river to pass through. Because the mountain behind it is called Jinshan, this bridge is called "Jinshan Bridge". Not far from the bridge, there is a small village called Jinshan Village. There are about dozens of families in the village, with flowers falling without sound, dogs barking in the wood gate, and smoke curling in cooking, which is a natural and harmonious scene.

The sound of dog barking continued to sound in front of the fence of an ordinary house. Then a middle-aged man hurried out from the house, shouted in a deep voice to the big yellow dog guarding the yard, bowed to the two merchants standing outside the fence, and asked, "Who are you looking for, brothers?"

One of the older merchants respectfully bowed to the middle-aged man and said steadily: "I am Shishi Ishikawa, come to see Mr. Katsura."

"Oh~~", a little puzzled flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes and asked, "Do you know the master? There are not many business friends in the master..."

Ishikawa's eyes rolled and he replied in a low voice: "I don't know Mr. Katsura, but I came here by someone."

The middle-aged man frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Please tell me who is entrusted by you?"

Ishikawa replied: "Can we get in and talk?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and laughed loudly: "Haha, our master and apprentice family has nothing but all kinds of books, and we are not afraid of anyone robbing them. Come on, please come in."

Ishikawa didn't answer, and pushed open the wooden door with another person and entered. The middle-aged man took them to the front of the house, stopped and asked, "Can you say this now?"

Ishikawa smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the middle-aged man, saying, "You must be Mr. Gongyou. I came here by Mr. Zigang. Here is a letter from Mr. Zigang to Mr. Kangcheng. Please pass it on."

The middle-aged man was the "Mr. Gongyou" mentioned by Ishikawa. His surname was Sun and his courtesy name was Gongyou. He was from Beihai. When he was a teenager, Sun Qian went to study everywhere and later became a famous scholar Zheng Xuan as his teacher. He has been with him since then and has not gotten the opportunity to become an official.

Sun Qian was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this person's eyes were really vicious, and he actually recognized himself at a glance. It seemed that he was prepared. He hurriedly reached out to take the letter, but laughed and said, "It turns out that he is the friend of Senior Brother Zi Gang, but it is Sun Qian. He has offended him so much, so please tell me in the room."

Ishikawa and the other two entered the house and looked around. They saw that the furnishings in the house were very simple, but they were cleaned up. On the incense table in the house, a bunch of sandalwood was burning, and the cigarette was curling. The smell was refreshing and the spirit was refreshed when they smelled it.

Sun Qian asked the two of them to sit down, said for a while, then turned around and entered the side room. The man next to Ishikawa couldn't help but ask softly: "Boss, what if he doesn't follow us later? Will he use force?"

Ishikawa is the leader of a group in the "Ye Yu" organization established by Zhou Yu. The person asked was his subordinate, named Tang Jian. Ishikawa carefully observed with his eyes while listening to whether there were any abnormalities around him. With his ear power, if someone lurked within ten feet of the surroundings, he could hear it.

When Tang Jian saw that Ishikawa was around the detective, he stopped asking questions. After a while, Ishikawa determined that there was no lurking nearby, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Ishikawa remembered Zhou Yu's advice before leaving.

"Ishikawa, there will be a major change in Xuzhou this time, but our army needs to rest and recuperate, so it is impossible to participate. There are two main tasks you have to go to this time. One is to collect strangers from the world with the assistance of the Jingwuwei in Xuzhou to use for your own use and establish a secret communication channel. The other is to go to the surrounding areas of Xia Pi to find a man named Zheng Xuan. Zheng Xuan, a man named Kangcheng, is from Gaomi, Beihai. He is nearly 70 years old and is still in good health. He once became a master of Fufeng Ma Rong. He is a contemporary celebrity, a master of modern and ancient classics, and is well-versed in the learning of hundreds of schools."

"In the first year of Emperor Ling's Jianning, the second party-black disaster occurred. The so-called "party-black" means that it is regarded as a party member and is imprisoned. The way to advance to the officialdom is never allowed to become an official. Zheng Xuan was once an old official of Du Mi, and was appreciated and promoted by Du Mi, so he was also regarded as a party member. In the fourth year of Jianning, more than 40 people including Sun Song of the same county were imprisoned. After Zheng Xuan was imprisoned, he lost his path to advance to advance to prevent Du from leaving, practiced the scriptures and concentrated all his energy to compile the group scriptures. He was very successful and became a great master."

"Zheng Xuan repeatedly refused to enlist, avoided chaos in Xuzhou, gathered disciples to teach, focused on scriptures, and wrote books and preached. His disciples were everywhere in the world, and many of them went to his disciples from afar, such as Zhao Shang, Cui Yan, Gongsun Fang, Wang Ji, Guoyuan, Xi Lu, etc., who were famous among the people. His students often exceeded a thousand, which was a prosperous time. Zheng Xuan's people's hearts and scholars among the people can be seen."

Thinking of this, Ishikawa couldn't help but feel a little worried. The person the lord valued so much is a famous scholar of a generation. He must have a personality and his own principles. Can a letter from Mr. Zigang convince him to move to Yangzhou?

Because of the special nature of the "Ye Yu" organization, Ishikawa's identity is mysterious in front of many people. He basically won't appear in everyone's sight. It's just because the time is tight this time, Zhou Yu thought of letting him show up once. Otherwise, even many people under Zhou Yu would not be able to see Ishikawa's true face.

Zhang Hong is one of the few people who have seen Ishikawa's original appearance. Before Ishikawa's trip, Zhang Hong handed the letter he had written overnight to Ishikawa and said earnestly: "I am not to hide it from it. I am also one of Mr. Kangcheng's many students, but I followed him early. He was very young at that time. After I finished my studies, I returned to my hometown. Now that the lord is in Yangzhou, it is precisely when more people are needed. When scholars support him, Mr. Kangcheng has this influence. Therefore... this task is both dangerous and risky. Please ask the lieutenant to study it carefully and think about it before starting..."

While Ishikawa was recalling these things, an old man with a tall hair but energetic hair walked out of the side room calmly, and Sun Qian followed closely behind him.

Ishikawa and the other two hurriedly stood up. When they first saw the famous famous scholars in the world, they couldn't help but feel ashamed. Their expressions were quite a bit slight. Zheng Xuan was enthusiastic and said loudly: "Isn't it a pity that a guest came from afar? Haha, welcome you to the humble house..." His pitch was high, not like an old man over 70 years old.

Ishikawa stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "I am Shishi Ishikawa and came here on order. I took the liberty to disturb me. Please forgive me for your crime."
