Infinite Battle

Jiang Shang, who hadn't slept all day and night, after searching all the places in the house, carried the corpse to the big tree in the yard, and took the shovel he found, one in a few minutes was enough to bury the corpse, and Jiang Shang dug out the deep pit that was not discovered by anyone.

Kicked the corpse into the pit and filled it up. Jiang Shang stomped on it a few times to build up the soft soil before returning to the room. He opened all the windows and lit the oil lamp. Jiang Shang sat on the tea table , and began to look through the letters found in the bedroom.

On the cover of the letter was simply written the words "recommendation letter", and the sealant had already been torn apart. Jiang Shang took out the letter inside the letter of recommendation and flipped through it.

Brother Chen, we haven't seen each other for several years, and I miss him very much. Years ago, I heard that Brother Chen had taken over the position of a hundred households.

Recently, my nephew retired from the army and intended to be under his command. Unfortunately, my nephew was so arrogant that he wanted to go to the capital to seek a job. He specifically asked me to come here. In desperation, I could only write I hope this letter, brother Chen, can give my nephew a job in Jinyiwei.

To make his wish come true, I also prepared a small gift for Brother Chen to congratulate him on his position as a hundred households. When the time comes, my nephew will send it along.

Yulin stayed.

After reading the letter in his hand, Jiang Shang already understood why the previous problem occurred.

The person who was killed should be the nephew mentioned by the letter writer, and the person who Jiang Shang changed his identity at this time should be a friend of this person who went to live in the capital after he came to the capital.

It's not hard to imagine that this person came here, and his friend was ambitious but had no connections, but this person came to the door with his uncle's recommendation letter. If Jiang Shang calculated according to himself, if he found that this person had a recommendation letter, he must Will kill the imposter.

But there is a problem. When this person was killed, he should have been to the Zhen Fusi. After all, he had received the official uniform and knife, which meant that this person had already seen the so-called Chen Baihu.

This made Jiang Shang unsure. Why did the murderer feel so sure that if Jin Yiwei, who was already registered in the register, would not be discovered if he was replaced by someone else?

Looking at the things on the table, apart from the letter, there is only one bag, and there are only two gold ingots in the bag besides a few clothes.

Jiang Shang looked at the gold ingots shining under the oil lamp. The two gold ingots add up to only four or five taels. If there is a problem, it should be these two gold ingots.

At the end of the letter, it was mentioned that the uncle of the murdered man had prepared a congratulatory gift. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell whether the congratulatory gift was real or fake.

But Jiang Shang doesn't know the prices in this world, and how much these two gold ingots are worth. Jiang Shang doesn't know at all, which makes it difficult for Jiang Shang to measure. Why does the imposter think that two gold ingots are just Can the thing that can make him impersonate become real?

Facing the huge information gap, Jiang Shang also understood that it was useless to think so much at this time, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Go out again tomorrow and see the prices in this world."

In the end, Jiang Shang determined the target of tomorrow's action, went back to the bedroom, lay on the bed with his clothes closed, and fell asleep.

Nothing to say all night.

It was just dawn, Jiang Shang got up and washed his face, came to the bronze mirror in the room, straightened his clothes, looked at the long hair on his head, and tied it behind his head with a thin hemp rope.

The bloodstain on the collar was not very obvious on the black official uniform, but Jiang Shang looked at it and went to the yard to wash off the bloodstain with water.

This official uniform is not good-looking. The black official uniforms of the few people I saw at the Zhen Fusi yesterday are much better than the official uniforms at this time.

Returning to the room, putting on the bamboo hat, and checking his belongings, Jiang Shang put the two gold ingots on the table into his arms.

out into the street,

Looking at the pedestrians on the street, Jiang Shang walked in the direction of Zhenfusi. The place he was in at this time, Jiang Shang had confirmed that it should belong to the civilian area. There were a few shops on both sides of the street, and there were no restaurants or the like. It looks like a courtyard surrounded by earthen walls.

The more you walk, the more prosperous the street becomes, and the road on the ground has become paved with bricks and stones. Hearing the yelling in his ears, Jiang Shang found a shop and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper who sold the Four Treasures of the Study immediately came out from behind the counter, and came to Jiang Shang with a smile on his face.

"My lord, please come inside."

Leading Jiang Shang to the table and chairs, Jiang Shang, the waiter of the shopkeeper, sat down and served Jiang Shang with dried fruits. After finishing the work, he stood next to Jiang Shang and asked Jiang Shang in a low voice.

"My lord, I don't know what to come to the store, what do I need?"

Jiang Shang leaned heavily on the back of the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then cast his eyes at the boss, and said slowly

"It's nothing. I'm thinking about buying some pens and ink for my own use. Get me some durable ones."

"Okay, my lord, wait a moment."

But after a while, the shopkeeper took the brush and ink and showed it to Jiang Shang, but Jiang Shang could understand this, so he picked a pair at random, took out the gold ingot in his arms, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

Looking at Jiang Shang's movements, the shopkeeper knew that Jiang Shang didn't understand such things as pen and ink, but when Jiang Shang took out the gold ingot, he was stunned, and quickly knelt down,

"My lord, these small things are given to my lord."

Seeing the shopkeeper's appearance, Jiang Shang's heart moved, it seemed that the gold ingot was much more valuable than he thought, otherwise the shopkeeper wouldn't be like this.

"What are you doing? I don't have the habit of not paying for things, you just take it."

"My lord, you can't do it, you can't do it."

Looking at the appearance of the shopkeeper, Jiang Shang lost the mood to continue paying. Since yesterday, Jiang Shang discovered that Jin Yiwei's skin has a great deterrent effect on the common people, almost to the point of snakes and scorpions.

Grabbing the things on the table, Jiang Shang walked out of the shop. He bought this thing to know how valuable the gold ingot is. At this moment, he already understood that it would be meaningless to stay longer.

After leaving the store, he put the wrapped writing brush in the seam of his waist belt, and headed towards Beizhen Fusi. Since the gold ingot is so valuable, it is understandable why the person Jiang Shang replaced felt that his identity Can come true.

With such internal and external troubles in the Ming Dynasty, selling officials is absolutely indispensable. After all, at this time, the court is chaotic, and the corruption of officials is probably very serious.

As for why Jiang Shang knew, that letter is the best proof. For this kind of connection, Jiang Shang can be said to be well-versed, and it is not a big deal to be able to judge this information from that letter.

All the way to Beizhen Fusi, as soon as he entered the door, Jiang Shang asked, and went straight to the place where Chen Baihu was.

Came to the inner courtyard of Zhenfusi, looked at the magnificent house in front of him, but there was no one at the door, so Jiang Shang went up and opened the door and walked in.

In the house, Chen Baihu, who was sitting in the main seat drinking tea, saw someone coming in, put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the visitor.

As soon as Jiang Shang entered the door, he saw a fat man wearing a silver-white official uniform sitting on the main seat. He was looking at him at this moment. Jiang Shang didn't care much about it. He clasped his fist at this man and said in a deep voice

"I'm Jiang Shang, I'm taking the liberty to come here, please don't be offended."

Chen Baihu picked up his teacup and hummed without saying a word, just looking at Jiang Shang.
