MTL - The Alternate World Is Too Dangerous: I Hide In Reality And Rule!-Chapter 170 Chess strength comes from imagination

  Gan City.

  When Lin Ye arrived at the station, members of the Gan City Appraisal Office were already waiting at the station.

  These ordinary staff naturally didn't know Lin Ye's reputation in the alien circle, but as long as the consultants came, they had to receive them well.

   "Go directly to the destination."

   On the way here, Lin Ye already understood what happened.

I asked Zhong Shan to look for news about He Zhiming. Last time Zhong Shan stayed in Ganshi for a few days but didn’t gain anything, but just a day ago, Zhong Shan got news from Ganshi, saying that he found news related to He Zhiming up.

  Zhong Shan rushed to Gan City immediately after being notified, and went to the village where the clue was found with Tu Yang, the team leader of the Gan City Appraisal Office, but disappeared mysteriously.

   The staff of the appraisal office in Gan City had already reported the news to their superiors, and they were preparing to arrange someone to handle it. When they learned that Lin Ye had gone to Gan City, they handed over the matter to Lin Ye.

  The car quickly drove into the town, passed through the streets of the town, and finally entered a village.

   "Consultant Lin, our team leader and Zhong team leader were located here before they disappeared. It's just that we searched the entire village, but we couldn't find the whereabouts of the two team leaders."

  Lin Ye got out of the car, and there were already two people waiting there at the entrance of the village. They were employees of the Gan City Appraisal Office, who had come to the village to search for Zhong Shan's whereabouts.

"Not in a hurry."

  Lin Ye looked at an old man sitting under the old camphor tree at the entrance of the village.

  The old man was thin and stooped, sitting in front of a stone table with a chessboard painted on it, with his eyes closed and greedily basking in the sun.

   "I asked this old man, and he said that he saw the team leader and the others entering the village." Seeing Lin Ye's gaze on the old man, the staff nearby reported the situation in a low voice.

  Lin Ye nodded to show that he understood, but he still walked towards the old man and sat down opposite the stone table.

   "Old man, next game?"

  The stone table was engraved with a chess game. The old man opened his cloudy old eyes when he heard the voice, and smiled showing his few remaining teeth: "Okay."

  There is a drawer under the stone table, and the old man took out the chess pieces from it.

  Lin Ye chose the red side, and the black side went first.

  The old man didn't play chess very fast, but played very steadily, but Lin Ye played very fast, and the old man immediately followed up after the game, which led to Lin Ye's failure in the second half of the game.

Although the staff of the appraisal office didn't understand why Consultant Lin played chess with the old man at the entrance of the village as soon as he got out of the car, they also knew that they watched the chess without saying a word, and just watched silently. When they saw that Lin Ye was about to lose, their faces showed anxiety color.

  Lin Ye picked up the only remaining horse and played a move.

  Seeing Lin Yeluozi's position, the old man's eyes twitched, while the surrounding staff were surprised. Consultant Lin misread the news, why did this horse go away?

   Don’t horses walk in the sun?

   "My horse has grown up and is much stronger than other horses. One step can equal two steps of other horses."

  Lin Ye explained with a smile, but the surrounding staff were speechless for a moment. Isn't this a blatant shameless act?

  However, to their surprise, the old man on the opposite side accepted it silently, and then went down, and the two fought again. Three minutes later, Lin Ye had only one soldier left.

  【Crack, General! 】

  Lin Ye directly took the soldiers across the river and placed them on top of the handsome man on the red side.

The old man looked up at Lin Ye, and Lin Ye smiled and said, "The cannon that I seemed to be eaten by you just now was actually deliberately sacrificed by me, so that I am not an ordinary soldier. Instead of soldiers, they became artillerymen.”

   Poof!

  Listening to Lin Ye's explanation, several staff members almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. They obviously didn't pay attention to being eaten and ran away, so why did it become a sacrifice?

  If this is all right, it’s okay to simply take the opponent’s taxi to assassinate the general, and say that he has instigated rebellion and became a spy soldier.

   "Chess and chess, the stronger the imagination, the stronger the chess power, I will accept it."

  The old man silently put away the chess pieces, but Lin Ye held down the old man's hand, and said with a smile, "Old man, I have won a game of chess with you. Let me ask you for someone."

   "Like them, ask the people who entered the village, yesterday indeed two foreigners entered the village..."

   "No, I'm asking you about another person."

"Who?"

   "He Zhiming."

  The old man's hand trembled, and the chess piece he was holding fell down, rolled several times on the ground, and rolled under the camphor tree.

  The old man looked at Lin Ye, "How do you know him?"

   "Entrusted by others."

   "Hey, since those two people entered the village yesterday, I know that some things cannot be passed after all. Would you like to listen to the old man tell a story?"

   "All ears."

   "This story must start from the time of the rebels."

  …

  Late Qing Dynasty!

  There is an official named Tang in Gannan City. They have studied for generations. There have been several high-ranking officials in their genealogy.

  The master of the Tang family has a daughter who is eighteen years old and is deeply loved by the master of the Tang family, like a jewel in his palm.

  Generally, at the age of sixteen, it is already said that the relatives are the matchmaker, but because Mr. Tang loves his daughter so much, he allows her to freely decide the matter of marriage.

  Miss Tang family with golden branches and jade leaves, how can ordinary men fall into her eyes.

  A servant girl told her that temples outside the city are very good for seeking marriage, so Miss Tang took her servant girl to the temple to burn incense, hoping to ask for someone she likes.

  Maybe it’s because sincerity leads to success, or because there are too many incense donations.

   On the way back after burning incense in the temple, a wild boar blocked the way. At a critical moment, a man appeared and shot the wild boar to death with three arrows.

  Through the curtain of the car, Miss Tang's heart blossomed when she saw the handsome man who was also a lifesaver.

  Later, the Miss Tang family learned from the maid that the man was called He Zhiming. Although he came from a farming household, his grandfather was a scholar, and he had studied and read with his grandfather since childhood.

  The most important thing is that the He family is now the tenant of their Tang family.

The miss of the Tang family used her life-saving grace as an excuse, and went to find He Zhiming whenever she was free. Mind.

  Lang is affectionate, concubine is interested.

   Talented man and woman look very well matched.

  After the two confessed their feelings to each other, He Zhiming was worried that the master of the Tang family would disagree, and the young lady of the Tang family reassured him, saying that his father had already said something beforehand, and he let himself choose a husband-in-law.

  When Miss Tang returned home, she also tested her father's tone.

   Knowing that his daughter already has a sweetheart and a lifesaver, the master of the Tang family was overjoyed, and said directly, "The fifteenth day of next month will be Daddy's birthday. It is also double happiness for your lover to come to propose marriage."

  Ms. Tang conveyed her father's words to He Zhiming, and He Zhiming also complied.

  So Miss Tang stayed in her boudoir for a month, imagining the sweet scene when her lover came to propose marriage on the fifteenth day.

  The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

  The red lights of the Tang family were high, and the house was full of relatives and friends.

  At the birthday banquet, the master of the Tang family drank a few more glasses, and under the weight of alcohol, he also said that someone would come to propose a marriage today, and the guests all flattered him.

  Whoever can be the uncle of the Tang family must have both talent and appearance.

  Many female relatives of the Tang family, especially those of the same generation as the Miss Tang family, even made fun of the Miss Tang family, saying that they wanted to see what kind of man could be liked by our Miss Tang family.

   It made Miss Tang's family very shy.

  The sun is rising, but Miss Tang is a little absent-minded, but her lover hasn't shown up yet. Could it be that some accident happened?

   While Miss Tang was waiting in agony, the butler finally came to report that someone had come to propose marriage at the door.

  When the young lady of the Tang family heard the servant girl's report, she walked towards the front yard without being reserved. It was only when she arrived in the front yard that she realized that the front yard was completely silent, and her father was sitting on the chair with a livid face.

  In the hall, a beggar stood there shivering, holding a jade pendant in his hand.

   Seeing this jade pendant, Miss Tang's body trembled. This jade pendant was her token of love for her lover. How could it appear on this beggar?

  Besides the jade pendant, the beggar also had a document. Miss Tang family took the document, but after reading it, she fainted.

   "Ling Qianjin and I agree in love, and come to propose marriage with this token, and hope that Master Tang will allow it."

  …

   "On that day, Mr. Tang's birthday ended unhappily. The master of the Tang family fell ill in a fit of anger, and the eldest lady of the Tang family locked herself in her boudoir, never taking a step out of the room."

   "On the fifteenth day of the next month, Miss Tang's family hung herself in her boudoir in her wedding dress."

  The story seemed to end here, but Lin Ye knew it was not that simple.

   "Why did He Zhiming do this?"

"Fate makes people, and the world makes people." The old man sighed: "At that time, there were some foreign students everywhere, especially those who had studied foreign ink, and they were not used to many things at that time. He lived abroad, and he called on people to cut off the whip, saying that the emperor is gone, and if you cut the braid, you don’t have to be a slave.”

   "But how can the common people understand it? When the common people see that the landlords still have braids, they don't dare to cut them off so easily, and the Tang family masters are firm braids."

   "This He Zhiming is thinking of using this method to humiliate the Tang family and discredit the Tang family, so that ordinary people will no longer listen to the Tang family."

"and after?"

"Later, the emperor was restored again, and the Yamen began to be wanted. He Zhiming changed his name. After a few years, he participated in the revolution, went to the battlefield and became lame, and returned to the village to adopt a pair of children. In the year, he died of illness."

   "Then He Zhiming changed his name?"

   "He Nianjin."

  As the old man said these words, the calm camphor trees suddenly rustled, and the whole village entrance was howling with gusty wind.

  The application of the staff of the appraisal office changed instantly. One of them glanced at the electronic instrument on the watch and said anxiously: "Consultant Lin, there is a super-concentrated Yin Qi, and a ghost is attacking."

   Lin Ye felt it even without the staff's reminder.

  At the entrance of the village, the female ghost in a wedding dress stood there.

  With long hair and no wind, he exudes a lingering aura, staring fixedly at the old man.

   "He Nianjin, He Nianjin, you can choose a good name."

Lin Ye was not surprised by the words of the female ghost Tang Jin. The first time he saw the old man, he knew that the old man was a ghost, and he was able to know so clearly about He Zhiming. people.

  When the old man saw Tang Jin's appearance, he didn't feel scared or flustered, but instead showed a guilty expression on his face.

"In my whole life, I feel the most guilty about you. When I was young and frivolous, I thought that all feudal existence should be overthrown. After that day, because I was arrested by the Yamen, I had to leave southern Jiangxi and hide around. Later, I joined the revolutionary army until the revolution. After being successful, I was discharged from the army and returned to my hometown. I wanted to apologize to you, but I got the news that you had already hanged yourself."

   "Apologize? You made my Tang family a joke, and made my father sick, how can I just apologize."

   "My father did good deeds, built bridges and paved roads, how many people have received favors, I have never done evil in my life, and when I go out, I will give money to homeless beggars, what is wrong with me?"

   Facing Tang Jin's questioning, the old man smiled wryly.

  It is not human fault.

  It's a pity that he understood this truth too late, and ended up regretting it for the rest of his life.

   "Today, I will take your soul, and then destroy your whole family!"

   Tang Jin was filled with murderous aura, and several staff members of the appraisal office all looked at Lin Ye. This ghost seems to be very powerful.

  Lin Ye took a deep breath. If it only involved the grievances between He Zhiming and Tang Jin, he could ignore it, but if it involved living people, it was within the scope of his duties.

   "Ahem..."

Lin Ye coughed and was about to speak, but Tang Jin, the female ghost, didn't even look at her. Instead, the old man looked at him: "Little brother just played this game of chess with the old man. It was very interesting. The two you are looking for It's just behind the village, so you don't need to interfere with the affairs here."

  Lin Ye squinted at the old man Hui, and finally walked towards the village.

  As the old man said, this is a grievance between him and Tang Jin, and there is no need for him to intervene.

  On the haystack in the field behind the village, Lin Ye found Zhong Shan and another middle-aged man sleeping on the ground. Obviously, that was Tu Yang, the leader of Gannan.

   "Strange, I searched here before, why didn't I see the team leader."

   "It's not surprising. A blindfold was used here earlier, so it's normal for you not to see it."

  Ghosts have the ability to hide. The old man obviously blocked the eyes of the searching staff before, so that they could not see Zhong Shan and Tu Yang.

  Several staff members stepped forward and shook Zhong Shan and the two of them. Zhong Shan opened his eyes in a daze.

   "Consultant Lin, you are here. I found out about He Zhiming. He Zhiming changed his name to He Nianjin and joined the revolutionary army. After the revolution succeeded, he returned to southern Jiangxi and adopted a pair of orphans from the Tang family."

   "Orphan of the Tang family?" Lin Ye was taken aback.

"Yes, there was a revolution at that time, and there was also a revolution in southern Jiangxi. The revolutionaries robbed several big families in southern Jiangxi at that time, and one of them was named Tang. It is said that the whole family was killed, and only they were left hiding in the Children in the cellar."

  Lin Ye looked towards the entrance of the village and said nothing for a long time.
