Chapter 126: Mysterious old man, what is He Juxin
Without thinking, Shen Mo grabbed Mo Xiaoluo and asked her: "Do you know the old man on the black-sailed boat?"
Mo Xiaoluo smiled awkwardly and quietly broke free from Shen Mo's hand: "I know that young man, the one holding a teacup!"
"Who is he?" Shen Mo asked curiously when he heard Mo Xiaoluo say this.
"That is my father's junior brother, and my uncle, and his name is Xia Liancheng." Mo Xiaoluo looked at the young man opposite from afar and said, "His ability is scary!"
"How scary is it?" Shen Mo glanced at Mo Xiaoluo in surprise.
"If my father and we have four swords of power, it will probably be within thirty moves, and our sword formation will be broken. In other words, my father's kung fu is slightly higher than Lao Ganzi." Mo Xiaoluo said this and whispered to the young man on the black-sailed boat opposite:
"But my father said that he can take up to twenty moves in his junior brother's hands."
"I'll go! So awesome?" Shen Mo was so surprised that he raised his eyebrows!
So far, he has met the highest master, Lao Ganzi. But when Shen Mo heard that Xia Liancheng's martial arts in front of him were actually so high, even he was surprised!
If Mo Datong could not even walk twenty moves in the hands of that young man, then wouldn’t that old man couldn’t even get through ten moves when he was fighting with Xia Liancheng? There are such martial arts masters in this world?
Shen Mo suddenly became interested. He thought to himself: It seems that he did not know the martial arts system of the Southern Song Dynasty in the past. He greatly underestimated the martial arts level of the warriors in this era!
Shen Mo thought to himself: "I don't know if there is any expert like Dongfang Bubai in this era?"
Just as they were talking, the black-sailed boat opposite was slowly approaching. Shen Mo saw the fishing old man sitting on the bow of the boat opposite, lifting his hat, as if he looked at this side.
According to Shen Mo's guess, the identity of the old man opposite must be either rich or noble. Otherwise, how could he fish casually on the lake? He would be protected by a master like Xia Liancheng? The old man on the lake was thin and energetic. He looked like a fairy-like and a wise sage who had seen through the world. Shen Mo looked at it and felt that he had a little similarity with the legendary image of Qu Yuan.
.
After looking up, the old man immediately laughed and said, "I just heard the taste of the poem, and I was quite discouraged and lazy. I thought the person who wrote the poem was an old man who was ups and downs in the officialdom. Who would have thought it was such a young man?"
"Why, you are so old that you can see through the world and decide to retire and return home?"
Shen Mo saw that the old man had no airs at all, but his eyes were calm and extraordinary, and he was even more shocked. He knew that only half-jealous like Zhao Lifu, the prefect of Lin'an, like to act like a high-ranking official. However, the people at the top of the pyramid were often as friendly and easy-going as the old man in front of him. So after hearing these words, Shen Mo was even more afraid.
Neglect and be extra serious.
He smiled and bowed and said, "The boy just got a job done today. He was so angry that he made this song and complained. He didn't want to disturb the gentleman's quietness. It's a sin!"
At this time, the people next to Shen Mo didn't say anything. They just watched him and the old man answer.
Although Zhang Tianru and his group of people who were with Shen Mo were unrestrained and had nothing to do, they just messed up on the West Lake. But after all, these people were either rich or noble, and none of them were fools.
As soon as they saw the old man's temperament and demeanor, they knew that the other party was absolutely extraordinary. So none of these people laughed and made a fuss, but they all watched honestly.
"Oh? What is this little friend doing?" The old man smiled and looked up and down at Shen Mo: "Just relying on the song just now, I know that my little friend has a lot of things and is definitely not a common thing. Why did he actually get a job done?"
"It's so good for the old man to find out," Shen Mo heard him ask, so he bowed and said, "Shen Mo is in the lower house, originally a small captain in Qiantang County."
"Oh! It turned out to be the Shen Mo who solved the case of Dashifang!" The old man nodded, then raised the fishing rod, and asked Xia Liancheng next to him to replace him with new bait.
"The reputation of a child is very famous in Lin'an City recently!" The old man picked up the teacup and drank it, then asked Shen Mo: "What case did someone open you this morning?"
"A moonlight cup was thrown from the mansion of Master Xue Ji, right at the Fulong Temple behind him." Shen Mo pointed at the back of his pleasure boat with his hand: "A bunch of monks and Wuming Bai have died. The officials in charge are Zhao Lifu, the prefect of Lin'an."
"Oh! It's really ridiculous!" The old man sighed and shook his head and said, "This group of people is really annoying. Just such a person who knows how to solve the case has even been driven out! I don't know what they are thinking?"
His words "What's your intention?" really shocked Shen Mo!
If you think about this sentence carefully, it will be meaningful. Just because of this sentence, Shen Mo knew that the old man in front of him was definitely an official who was much bigger than the prefect of Lin'an!
"That's fine," the old man opposite him smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother Chen is young and wise, I'm afraid he can't rest. The officialdom of the Song Dynasty is not as dirty as you think. If you want to serve the country, you will definitely have a chance in the future."
As he said that, the old man gestured with his eyes. The Polygonum multiflorum boat slowly swung away, swinging further and further on the vast West Lake. It soon left.
"Who is this? Do you know it?" Shen Mo saw the ship gradually fading away, and he turned around and looked at Zhang Tianru for no reason.
"I don't know you! You can't go to the court meeting with a rank like me, and I can't take the turn of high-ranking officials in court to socialize. But I see what he meant, this official is probably too young!" Zhang Tianru also shook his head with his lips curled his lips.
When they returned to the cabin, they saw the white-clothed boy Zhao, Rui Zheng and Long Lier sitting in the cabin and laughing. When they were watching and talking outside, the two of them didn't go out at all.
"You guys are here just chatting and don't talk about it!" Zhang Tianru said to Zhao Yurui with a smile after sitting down on the chair.
