时雪时晴天气,多是来去皆无定数,先前雪仍落时,随后就是云雾略有疏忽,扯开阴沉面纱,竟然是趁飞雪尚未停住时云开雾散,日头极好。往年冬时大多难以见到这等景致,而如今上齐京城里却是屡见不鲜,大多人都习以为常,并无多少人去过度在意这等天景,毕竟依理说来京城富庶人奇多,理应闲暇才是,但同样也是因京城富庶,事往往更是纷乱如絮,桩桩件件,敢与飞雪争数目高低。就是在这等看来,冬意渐浓,地上万籁渐收归静谧时节,本是难得令人歇息的好时节,京城里却接连出过两场刺客作祟之事,很快就令人心浮动起来,再无安宁日可言。尽管京城官府连同司职京城大小事的大员将此事已是各处封口,严令不可传扬,但既是天子脚下往来消息奇快,故而纵是自上而下倾力而为,照旧也难免透露出蛛丝马迹,令京城中的各方大臣知晓,虽不至于人人自危,可亦是觉得此事相当古怪。古来凡有事出,则人人心思不一,难免要归到我以为三字,往往要争辩个不停,此番刺客作祟这等少有的大事,京城中人的口风却尽是相当一致。荀元拓府上两日之间可谓是相当热闹,相比于往日不甚清净的景象,还要更热闹几分,尤其京城当中官员,连同皇城当中持矛挂甲的皇城守卒都已是分为数批前来,将整座府邸围得水泄不通,里外皆有人把守,横是无处落脚。昨夜骊况宿醉,抱起空酒坛睡起个昏天暗地,而今早才要他出门前去倾泻千里,却是被已然早早登门的鳞甲堵住,明晃晃刀剑架到脖颈上的时节,险些两腿一软瘫倒下去,直到荀元拓亲自前来解围,才终究是得了个酣畅舒坦。“在下乃是京兆郡守崔顺崔鸿鹊,早闻听荀公子名声,虽因无甚闲暇故迟迟未曾拜会,今日才登门叨扰,实在是不应当,还望公子勿要见怪。”此番会客,却不在院中,而在府邸内堂,其一是因时辰过早,屋舍之外实在过于寒凉,其二则是连荀元拓都不曾预料到,这位素有名声的京兆郡守竟会如此早就登门来访,故而也不曾令侍女事先在院中安置取暖物件,索性就径直引这位有些富态的重臣去往内堂当中,吩咐两侍女煮茶,奉些点心吃食。“既是您年岁长与在下,又是重臣之与白身,如此就称崔兄理应妥当,”事出突然,荀元拓只披身厚衣便是与眼前人对坐,谈笑之间却无甚局促,畅言道来,“崔兄方才那番话,在下实不敢当,从古而今何来京兆郡守前来拜访芝麻小官的道理,不论是朝堂年月,还是本领高低,或是年岁大小,都是远比在下走得更为长远,如何说来都是前辈,何况无意之间招惹出这等事,却是使得兄台与我二人初回相见很是有些特别,倒也是难得的喜事,因祸得福,无外如是。”荀公子兴许旁的功夫尚欠火候,可口头功夫却早已是同自家那嘴极碎的周先生学得奇深,哪怕自认只有其皮毛,亦是足够应付大多事,悄无声息之间就将手段口风藏到深处,不消这位崔鸿鹊去仔细琢磨,就可将此话里的妙意与算不得谦卑的奉承采撷到手头,比起那等寻常客套逢迎,不知要高明多少。可崔顺终究并非是常人,刻意未曾先行接话,而是抬眼朝四周观瞧去,眸中神采闪动,很是难得感慨道,“上回前来此地,还是许久之前呐,那时节这屋头下名声奇响亮的老人家还未曾搬出京城去,想当年咱还是个年少有为,肚皮上攒不下二两肉的年轻人,但眼下也早已两鬓微斑,身形亦是越发富态,比不得你们这些位年轻人啦。”随后打量罢周遭摆设,才是将目光重新挪回到荀公子脸上,笑意不减,很是赞赏道,“飞花令不是什么太过高明的本领,凭此论断一人腹中有无真才实学,虽有道理,可还是有更多路数能走,不过能对出飞花数百,怎就不能说你荀元拓有能登天倒岳驾海移地的大才?而今朝中可是有不少人生出些妒火来,原因相当明了,便是自问不能比,故才忌惮畏惧。”“如说是圣上爱才,那丑狈二品将这处府邸让与你,则更能说荀公子当得起不世大才这等美誉,但私下里还是要拿起前辈架势,告知你两句废话,才气高是好事,可要分怎么看,纳安皇城已有很多年不曾有过刺客生事,连想当年天下战事吃紧的时候,亦不曾有刺客作祟,明珠洗尘光华灼灼,到底要自问是否会灼了旁人的眼。”同样是不落窠臼,更未曾留甚话柄,明摆又是赠过一句瞧来无甚滋味实则却意有所指的好言奉劝,譬如接过蹴鞠,微添零星力道,再度传与荀元拓,不轻不重,当得起刚好两字。荀元拓又何尝不晓得其中道理利害,但越是知晓此中道理,崔顺好心相劝,自然也就有些鸡肋滋味,凡在高位之人言语多需绕圈兜转,即便能品出些余韵,也大多很是含糊,但既是旁人抛出善意,当然不可落人脸面,当即抱拳拱手,认真谢过崔顺提点,“既不曾替圣人分忧解难,亦未上齐出谋划策,更是未尝替苍生社稷黎民百姓谋福,仅是借卖弄那点微不足道的浅淡墨浆,大摇大摆乔迁此地,当真很是有些惭愧,如是无崔兄看顾惦念在下安危,怕是已沦为京城当中一桩笑柄,
多年来头一个死在刺客手里的京城中人,最可乐处在于还是个微末小官,怕是找寻谁人说理都难。”话要从头说来,昨日正午时节,荀公子难得不曾呆在家宅当中,而是带王甫柝几人前去京城之中闲逛,纵然是飞雪甚急,可这几位的行头确是差劲了些,不论是心血来潮,还是忘却此事,一拖再拖,总算是让近来记性不甚好的荀公子想起这茬来,也不乐意耽搁,同这几位人高马大的武夫一并外出做几身新行头,一来是面上实在不中看,二来也为御寒,顺带瞧瞧京城铁匠有无存下上好铁,替这几位更换兵刃,也已是迫在眉睫的事。王甫柝手头那杆模样相当古怪的长槊,荀公子早已瞧得很是不耐烦,虽说瞧来模样相当瘆人,大抵是顶厉害的兵器,可出门在外,更何况身在京城里,怎么瞧怎么别扭,眼见得那杆长槊已近乎生锈,恰好外出一并换了去,省得过后要另跑一趟。于是荀元拓亦不曾知会几人一声,径直将几人带去京城里去量制几件新衣,而后就携几人去往铁匠铺中,打算撞撞天缘,顺带瞧瞧有无中意兵器。离铁匠铺尚有一条街时,足有十数人自街角当中杀出,大多使的乃是短刀暗器,并不挂甲,险些与荀元拓几人撞上,不由分说就已是厮杀开来。说时淡然,那时凶险,饶是几人出手极快,仍旧未曾拦下两枚梭镖,牢牢扎到荀元拓小臂上头,好在是几人本就身手极高且人人披甲,若非如此,只怕电光火石须臾之间,荀元拓便已然毙命,尤其窦冲索性凭身子遮挡住荀公子,借一身甲胄与掌中枪拦挡住多半梭镖暗器,硬是凭一人之力抵住周遭刺客,其余两人动作奇快,雷霆游动之间已是斩杀大半来犯刺客,才使得荀元拓转危为安。崔顺接过荀元拓递上前来的梭镖暗器,托在掌心当中借火烛仔细打量许久,这才不由分说拽过荀公子小臂来,打量打量伤处周遭,见并无中毒迹象,才是缓缓松下口气来,啧啧称道,“你倒是无意之间得罪了许多来头甚大的能人,用毒一事,早年我曾听有江湖中人说起过,不少刺客不乐意使毒,本就是为免于遭人看穿,这京城当中实则规矩极严,想要在梭镖上施毒,总要留下些许蛛丝马迹,大抵是唯恐被人追查出个分明,多半是觉得荀公子不曾习武,自然也无防身的本事,却不料人算不如天算,恰好被公子身旁近侍拦下,确是福运甚大。”荀元拓倒是不曾心有余悸,乐呵笑道,“读书之人多是憨傻无心计之人,大抵是老天也瞧不过眼去,才有躲过此劫,刺客尸首在下倒也是提前预备妥当,摆于府邸之外,崔兄去时自能瞧个分明,只不过我先前去瞧时,并无甚踪迹可寻,实在不是什么轻松活计,只得是仰仗崔兄找出幕后之人,兴许未必能顺藤摸瓜,可起码也能在日后多提防着些,没准还能化去敌意,缓缓相识。”崔顺当然知晓这是客套话,不过后头半句,说得却是无错。如今的荀公子乃是圣人顶看重的后来之秀,敢在京城地界差遣刺客冒着引圣人生怒刺杀荀公子的,又怎能当真顺藤摸瓜找寻到此人是谁,归根到底,若是换成旁人,估计连他这位京兆郡守都不需亲至,若是连依仗与进退都分不清,这位荀家弃脉的公子,又谈何能在京城站稳。此龙虎盘踞之地,怎有容易两字。
