Chapter XII
Lei Lie thought so, he, the second chief manager, had been in office for many years, and seeing that the chief manager was about to return to his hometown, as a result, there was another shrewd and capable servant in the dowry brought by the princess of the little prince, and the position of the chief manager who was originally stable was now in flux, so he wanted to do something more for the king of law to ensure that the position of the chief manager fell on him one hundred percent.
Feng Ge, leaning against the flower window, didn't notice what was happening here at all, if her heart could be projected and realized, then it would be a scene comparable to a volcanic eruption, earth shaking, and angry sea roaring.
The reason for such a drastic psychological change is that Guan Linsen, at her request, told all the original things she did to Lin Xiangyu last night.
Feng Ge's question was: "What did I do to Lin Xiangyu, why is he so afraid of me?"
Therefore, Guan Linsen only answered part of the plot between her and Lin Xiangyu, and did not say the second half, because the duty of the secret guard is to have one answer and one answer, and not to play freely.
I heard that there is a person named "know-it-all" in the rivers and lakes, as long as he gives money, no matter what questions he asks, he will answer them one by one, but this "know-it-all" is erratic, and he doesn't know where to find him.
If he appears here now, Feng Ge is willing to pay fifty taels, and if he can pay on credit, he can also pay one hundred taels, go buy an answer:
"I'm scared sick by a man who was unintentionally molested, what should I do, wait online, it's quite urgent. ”
But now that the person who can solve the problem is not here, he has to figure out his own way, Feng Ge sighed leisurely, maybe it is the most important thing to figure out the cause of the matter.
Carefully recall the things he has eaten, touched, and seen since he met Lin Xiangyu outside the city......
The food is the same as Jin Huang's, and she doesn't have anything abnormal.
The things I have touched are the same as Jin Huang, and the things I see are nothing special, so what is the problem?
Feng Ge thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know why, at this time, Lin Xiangyu's bedroom door opened, he was dressed very ceremoniously, and walked towards the main hall.
Feng Ge felt infinite sympathy for him, remembering that his father had read the 800-mile urgent military newspaper at the border all night in addition to being seriously ill and with a high fever, and thinking about the overtime that would be indispensable for him in the future, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh again.
As soon as Lin Xiangyu walked into the main hall, Lei Lie stood up: "It's okay, let's go, don't let the prince wait." ”
King Law's words, in this Feng County, one acre and three points of land is only more effective than the holy decree, Lin Xiangyu had to obey, followed Lei Lie and walked towards the palace.
The courtyard is quieter now, and even Huzi doesn't know where to go, Feng Ge found that the door full of all kinds of figurines that Lin Xiangyu took them in yesterday actually opened, maybe the servant forgot to lock it after cleaning, right?
It's better to close the door for him, and save the cats and dogs from breaking things.
Feng Ge thought so, so she went to the house, and when she stood at the door, she saw that there was a statue that had fallen to the ground, she couldn't help but be surprised, and instinctively wanted to close the door and never step in, so as not to get into trouble.
However, there seems to be something hidden in the statue, white, half outside, half still inside the statue.
"I don't touch it, I'll look at it. Feng Ge looked around at no one, and tiptoed into the room, as if he was afraid of alarming the statues in this room.
If you don't look at it, she frowned and took a step back, this statue was one of the three human skin statues, fear made her want to leave, but the half-hidden note made her very curious.
Finally, curiosity overcame fear, and she stepped forward, squatted on the ground, and carefully pulled out the note, on which was written a string of words in dark red cinnabar: The third quarter of the thirtieth month of the month of Gengchen
If others don't necessarily understand what this means, but when Feng Ge saw it, her heart trembled, this line of words was not written anything else, it was her birthday.
The detailed birth dates of the people in the royal family have always been secrets, and they are only recorded on the royal jade, and will never be spread outside the palace, so as not to attract unscrupulous people to use witchcraft to carry out nightmare towns.
Feng Ge, as the eldest princess and the prince of the Mandate of Heaven, naturally the relevant royal departments were even more cautious, and today she actually saw her birth date in the human skin doll obtained by the foot merchant of the Pakistani country, so that she could not be shocked.
When she calmed down, she thought that maybe it was just a coincidence, there were so many people in the world, and there were not 10,000 people born at the same time in the same month and the same year, but 8,000.
She flipped through the note a few times, and there was nothing else except her birthday.
"Could it be the time to make these three dolls?" Feng Ge was so worried at this time, thinking that if he hadn't driven Jin Huang away, at least there would be someone to discuss.
Thinking about it, could it be that I lost my temper like last night because I was cursed?
Feng Ge suddenly became nervous again, she originally believed that there were no demons and monsters in the world, and she had doubts about her worldview, although this is only the hour, there is no name, but ......
What if there is a range of its effectiveness, for example, within a radius of a few feet from it, indiscriminately all-round strokes?
Thinking of this, Feng Ge was even more panicked, she even forgot to take the baggage, so she ran out of the county office, at noon in the small county town, there was no one on the street, everyone went back to their respective homes to eat.
No one expressed surprise and pointed at the beautiful big girl running out of the county office.
She walked a few steps on the street, and was basked overhead by the noon sun for a while, and the fear seemed to dissipate with the blazing sun.
Walk over and see an extremely magnificent mansion, people come and go at the door, very lively, Feng Ge walked over and looked up, the lintel at the main entrance is upright with three big characters "Law King's Mansion".
There were four soldiers in full armor standing on each side of the vermilion gate, looking at their figure and momentum, they were by no means ordinary house slaves.
This uncle Wang is the younger brother of Feng Ge's father, and not long after he ascended the throne, Yan Guo, which is located in the north, felt that the emperor had a firm foothold and was easy to bully, so he waved his army south and launched an attack on Hengguo.
The border soldiers could barely resist, and in the end, the Manchu generals were tied, and it was this uncle who took the initiative to ask for help and led the army to the northern front line to kill the enemy.
After winning the class, he selected the best of those elite soldiers, and picked out the most loyal to him and the most dedicated to kung fu to become the home of the palace.
Everyone in the world knows that those subordinates in the palace of the king of law are not easy to mess with, and they are all those who have really cut off people's heads on the battlefield and seen blood.
The law prince is highly meritorious, and the current saint exempts him from the annual spring and autumn pilgrimage, only the triennial hajj will come once, remembering the last time I saw Uncle Law, he was only eleven years old, and the milky little girl looked like a little girl, but I am afraid that Uncle Law will not recognize it now.
Feng Ge confidently and boldly leaned into the crowd, wanting to hear what they were saying.
"Strange, how did Lin Zhixian get in?"
"That's right, when I heard that he had a Lantern Festival, he actually sent a pair of words to the prince, and I never heard that he had any dealings with the prince. ”
"Isn't it that he wants to be promoted and make a fortune, and asks the prince for guidance?"
"Didn't you see that the second chief administrator, Lei Lie, brought him into the door? This treatment is not like he was in a hurry to ask for someone, but like the prince invited him. ”
There was a lot of discussion, all of which were similar arguments.
There were too many people at the gate of the palace, Feng Ge decided to go elsewhere, walked a few streets at random, and in a remote place, there was a Taoist temple, and the plaque said "Four Elephant Temple".
Today is not the first day of the new year nor the fifteenth, the door of the Taoist temple is deserted, people say that the door can be full of birds, the ground at the door is too clean, even the birds are not happy to go here.
Thinking of the piece of paper found in the human skin doll, Feng Ge, who has always insisted on believing in science, suddenly decided to go to the Taoist temple to burn incense, and by the way, burned the evil paper.
After entering the door, Feng Ge found that this purple bamboo temple is not an ordinary small, no matter how other Taoist temples should be in the middle of the main hall, for the three Qings and the Jade Emperor, the two sides are side halls, or for the old moon or for the living room, and this Taoist temple, there is not even the main hall, there is only one shrine, and the inside is not the Jade Emperor and the three Qings, but the green dragon and white tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu.
Feng Ge has also read literature and books on folk customs and beliefs on weekdays, and only knows that there were people who worshiped the four spirits in ancient times, and they should have already manifested themselves in human form, where are there still people who worship these four spirits directly.
While she was standing in front of the shrine in a daze, a Taoist came out from behind the low wall, as if he had just come out of the latrine, humming a song and tying his trousers.
As soon as he raised his head, he was staring at Feng Ge, and his whole person froze, and his hands were still in the posture of tying his trouser belts.
Don't look at indecent things, Feng Ge has been taught over the years to do nothing when others are embarrassed, she looked up at the willow branches by the wall, and read: "The tender green dots are dotted with dry branches, beautiful and beautiful." ”
Her eyes glared at the Taoist priest who had already cleaned up, and then she looked at the Taoist priest at eye level: "Presumably you are the master of this view?" ”
The Taoist priest also pretended to be as if he had just met her, bowed slightly and saluted: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the head of the poor Dao, I don't know if the female donor came today to ask for divination and eliminate disasters, or to make incense and make a wish?"
The two tacitly pretended that nothing had happened just now, and Feng Ge asked seriously:
"I wanted to enter the incense, but I saw that there were only four spirits in the view, I don't know what to say?"
"The female benefactor, please put incense first, and then the poor road can be explained slowly to the female benefactor. The Taoist took three sticks of incense from the side, lit them on the candle flame, and then handed them to Feng Ge, who took it, and after respectfully worshipping three times, he inserted the incense into the incense burner.
The Taoist invited Feng Ge to a room behind, the furnishings in the house were extremely simple, there was a bed on the wall, and on both sides of the low table on the couch, there was a futon on each side.
The Taoist priest boiled water and poured it for Feng Ge.
"There are no people coming to Xiaoguan Suri, although there are tea, but it is also the old tea of the next year, it is better to drink the snow water collected on the plum blossoms quietly. ”
Feng Ge said with a smile: "I can't see that Dao Chang is such an elegant person. ”
In good conscience, the distance between this Taoist priest and the word elegant is about as far as the westernmost Xia Gobi to the easternmost Ningguo fishing port.
With a beard on his face, he doesn't look like he wants to learn from others, and he looks messy, as if he can see that he is eating millet porridge this morning. The clothes also faintly smelled of not being washed for a long time.
If Feng Ge hadn't known that there were literati who liked to play with lice and talk, he would have been scared away, at least the Taoist in front of him hadn't reached out to catch lice in his clothes.
Thinking that the cleanliness of this cup was worrying, Feng Ge quietly put the cup on the coffee table, as if she was listening to the story about the four elephants told by the Taoist priest.
"The so-called two rituals give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, since ancient times by the ancestors of the respect, until later, the various sects are numerous, after the rise and fall of several generations, the people worship God, but hope that the gods can respond to their own requirements, if there is no way, they will no longer come. ”
Feng Ge nodded: "Exactly, it's normal not to come again, I also know that there are places to ask for rain and whip the statue of the dragon king." ”
So, the gods have become a kind of merchant, making deals with mortals, and mortals offer incense and they offer miracles, and that's it. But ......" The Taoist priest's expression suddenly became mysterious, and his voice became low: "Spiritual power can only be exerted when there is true faith in the heart, it is just a transaction, and it will not be protected by the gods." ”
It sounded very powerful, but Feng Ge didn't understand it at all: "But, if the gods are not spiritual, where is the faith?"
The Taoist priest smiled: "So, this is my four elephant view, not for the Jade Emperor of the Three Qing Dynasty, nor for the old moon and the God of Wealth, but only for the four spirits of heaven and earth." Human beings are born in heaven and earth, coexisting with all things in the world, and the four spirits also refer to all things in heaven and earth. ”
He took a slow sip of water: "For kings, it is faith to govern the country and level the world. For the people, self-cultivation and family cultivation is also faith, whether it is a Confucian scholar or a military general, you must believe in benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith in your heart, so that your behavior will not deviate. ”
Seeing that Feng Ge still didn't understand it, he smiled and said: "For example, the female donor gets up early every day to make up, and at night she has to remove the same makeup, and then put on the same evening makeup, isn't it troublesome?" But watching herself become beautiful in the mirror, looking at the eyes of the person you like, you are not afraid of any trouble." ”
"Oh...... Dao Chief, you understand. Feng Ge nodded, using makeup as an analogy, she understood instantly.
The concubines of the father and the emperor are tossing and turning every day, and it is probably their belief to get the favor of the father.
Think about how many women hang their life's happiness on men, and their joys, sorrows, and sorrows depend on the charity of others. In the past, Feng Ge didn't think there was anything wrong with them like this, but now that this Taoist priest said it, he suddenly felt that the goal of his life was to fight for a person's blue eyes, which was too stupid.
Whether it is good or bad, everything must be in your own hands, no matter whether you succeed or fail, there are no regrets.
