Chapter 5 Reporting to the Official
Jia Xiucai looked at his wife's head, so frightened that he didn't even dare to move, and after a while, seeing that those heads just kept laughing or calling their husbands softly, and didn't hurt him, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "Jia Qing, Jia Qing!" She is your wife, how can she hurt you, besides, now that she is like this, she is also your useless waste, how can you bear to deny her? Thinking of this, Jia Xiucai burst into tears, and asked affectionately at the tree, "Wan'er?" Wan'er, oops! My wife! After saying that, he didn't care about it, walked forward, hugged the tree, and after a while, he held one of the heads in his hand, and kept calling Wan'er, those heads looked at Jia Xiucai to take care of themselves, and they smiled even more happily, and kept talking about their husbands in a uniform manner.
Just when the two of them saw each other as husband and wife and were happy, suddenly someone banged on the door at the door, and Jia Xiucai walked to the door and asked, "Who?" "Me!" It's a Taoist priest! Jia Xiucai hurriedly opened the door and welcomed the Taoist priest in, and thanked him for his kindness, the Taoist priest twisted his beard with a smile, "Take me to see it." Jia Xiucai took the Taoist priest into the small courtyard. The Taoist priest looked at the tree, counted it, and there were exactly nine heads, and he couldn't help but say, "Good, great!" Huang Wan heard someone speak, the nine heads turned back together, saw the Taoist priest, new hatred and old hatred surged into her heart, the nine heads were hideous, their eyes were spewing fire, their silver teeth were crushed, and their mouths made a creaking sound, suddenly, the nine heads flew towards the Taoist priest, but there were branches connected to it, how could it not reach the Taoist priest to get close, the Taoist priest just smiled and did not speak, Jia Xiucai was a little puzzled, and hurriedly persuaded "Wan'er, why are you so rude?" My husband and wife were reunited thanks to the hard work of the immortal elders. The immortal chief is the benefactor of you and me. After saying to Huang Wan, he said to the Taoist priest again, "Don't blame the immortal chief, Neizi doesn't know the number of etiquette, and he collided with the immortal chief, Wanwang Xianchang forgives, Xiao Ke will compensate you on behalf of Neizi." "It's okay, hehe, Mrs. Zun has just returned to the yang, and her wisdom is still a little vague, so she can only say very few words, just wait a little longer." The Taoist priest explained with a smile. Jia Xiucai only understood why Huang Wan only called her husband and didn't say much. "Husband, husband." The nine heads shouted at Jia Xiucai again, but this time the voice was miserable, as if there was a great grievance. Just as he and his wife looked at each other, the Taoist priest had already left, and when Jia Xiucai turned around, he couldn't see the Taoist priest, and he didn't know when he left.
The Taoist priest walked on the path, muttering as he went, "How did she know?" It shouldn't be, she hasn't seen me before and after she died, forget it, whatever, time is running out, you have to hurry. After muttering, he walked quickly towards Nanyang City.
The lord in the yamen was very annoying today, and before he had slept enough, he heard someone beating the three-way drum, and he couldn't sleep well because of the noise, so he hurriedly dressed neatly under the service of his wife and maid. Why do you think this drum beating will make you noisy? At that time, the yamen, the front is the public court, the back is the house where the lord lives, the house is provided by the official, but the money for the repair has to be paid by himself, there are six doors at the yamen, the two on the left are the green dragon gate, generally the people who are fighting lawsuits go in and out, as long as it is not a death penalty, they are in and out of the green dragon gate, the two on the right are the white tiger gate, the criminal enters from the green dragon gate, the lord has finished the case, if it is a death sentence, he will go out from the white tiger gate, the middle two doors are repaired more than the green dragon gate and the white tiger gate, it is specially for the lord to enter and exit, and ordinary people can not go.
Waiting for the lord to clean up everything, is sitting in the high hall, the lord is sitting on the left side of the master, the two sides of the servants in the number of columns, with the lord of the ascending to the hall, the two sides of the officials shouted the hall Wei, the master heard them shout after the hall Wei, he shouted, "Take the drummer!" "There was a messenger who came to take the Taoist priest to the hall, but the Taoist priest didn't go through the Qinglong Gate, and came in straight through the middle door, the officials on both sides were stupid, and the old man's face also darkened, "Who is in the hall!" Such a bold dare to defy the court! The Taoist priest didn't answer, just looked at the old man with a stiff face. The master suddenly remembered something, hurriedly ran to the master's side, and whispered a few words, "Master, he is the living dead a few days ago, and the truth of flesh and bones is true!" When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately his face changed, and his face was full of smiles, "I don't know why the immortals are here?" As long as the official helps, he will never shirk. The Taoist priest sneered, "Why are you here?" Naturally, it will save the lives of the people in your city! Do you know that there is a demon in your Nanyang City? When the old man heard this, he was shocked, "Why did the immortal say this?" My Nanyang City is in good weather, it doesn't look like a place where demons come from, but I don't know where the demons came from and where they are? The Taoist priest explained, "Poor Dao watched the stars at night, and knew that the demon was in the jujube forest five miles outside the city, so he secretly investigated, and knew that the demon was Jia Xiucai outside the city in order to resurrect his dead wife, not from where did the evil law accumulate!" "This ...... The immortal waited for a moment. The master didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but pay attention to it, he asked the messenger to serve tea to the Taoist priest, and he took the master to the back hall, "Master, you said this matter......" The master is a good person, and he has been with the master for a long time, and at a glance, he knew that the master was a little unconvinced, and he thought of the idea with a roll of his eyes, "I know Jia Xiucai outside the city, it is better to find someone to go to his house to investigate." "Who's going to be suitable?" "Isn't the master on good terms with Li Yuanwai, a big family in the city? His son-in-law is Jia Xiucai's student, and he will not be abrupt when he goes, Jia Xiucai should be unsuspecting, and secondly, even if this matter is true, Jia Xiucai will not harm his students. When the old man heard this, "Wonderful! So he sent someone to find Li Mo.
Li Mo was walking the dog in the city at this time, he hadn't seen Jia Xiucai since the last time, and when he heard the summons of the lord today, he thought it was a reminiscence, so he asked the dog to take it back, and he went to the government office alone.
When Li Mo arrived at the mansion, the master was already at the door, "Hahaha, Li Gongzi, I haven't seen you for many days, and I'm getting more and more handsome." Li Mo also greeted him with a smile, "The master has a good reputation, but I don't know what Uncle Shi is looking for a little nephew?" The master smiled and said, "Master Li, the master came to you to catch up with the past, and secondly, he really has something to ask for, and Li Gongzi will know when he goes in." When Li Mo heard this, his heart was sudden, because if the lord in the mansion only discussed with his father about something, how could he find himself? But when I thought about it, I didn't do anything, so I just went in. So he followed the master to the back hall, and when he passed by the public hall, Li Mo paid attention to it, there was a Taoist priest sitting in the hall, drinking tea, and Li Mo paid attention to it.
"Little nephew Li Mo, I have seen Uncle Shi, I wish Uncle Shi a healthy body and prosperous official luck." As soon as Li Mo saw the master, he began to smile and say auspicious words. The old man also smiled and said to Li Mo: "How is the virtuous nephew lately? "The little nephew has been very good lately, thank you Uncle Shi for your concern." "My brother is fine, I haven't been to him for tea and chat for a long time, I miss him." "Hehe, my father's body and bones have always been tough, and I am so worried about Uncle Shi, and my little nephew thanks Uncle Shi on behalf of my father." The two of them are like this, you and I are pulling the family routine. After chatting for a while, the old man felt that it was almost over, so he said, "Virtuous nephew, there is something for my uncle, I want to ...... Please help. As soon as Li Mo heard him say this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't help it, Uncle Shi can't help it, you and my uncle and nephew, if you beg me, you are slapping the little nephew in the face, what is the matter with Uncle Shi, but it doesn't matter, the little nephew can do it, and he must do his best!" When the old man heard Li Mo say this, a smile bloomed on his face, "Virtuous nephew, you are five miles outside the city, in the jujube forest, Mr. Jia's study?" Has Mr. Jia been ...... lately? Something weird? "Uncle Shi asked, the little nephew didn't dare to lie, as Uncle Shi said, Mr. lately, not very ...... Good. "Oh? That...... Uncle Wei wants to invite you to see Mr. Jia, if there is anything weird, the virtuous nephew should tell Uncle Wei as soon as possible. "Uncle Shi, what's wrong?" The old man's face changed, and he was a little unnatural, "Uncle Wei is not sure, so let the virtuous nephew go and investigate." "The little nephew hasn't seen Mr. for a long time, Uncle Shi can rest assured, the little nephew will handle this matter properly."
