All kinds of people and so on have entered the gate of Changchun Temple, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the courtyard of the main courtyard, Fang Tongbao finally found a corner, just stood still, the crowd separated from the gate, only to see Huating County Ling and the master catch the head and so on, Sanqing Hall walked out of a Taoist quickly, wearing a pure yang scarf, wearing a blue twenty-eight large sleeves crane, waist hanging apricot yellow silk, white socks under the feet, refreshed, clothes and wind, not inaction anyone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Fang Tongbao watched Wuwei invite the prefect and his party inside, and was very surprised in his heart: since Wuwei is here, presumably the young lady who ran away from marriage in the Dongfang family is not far away, and somehow it will be mixed up with these irrelevant personnel in Huating County, and see how he does things first, and then go to meet him later. I seemed to listen to the gossip of the people around me for a while, but I heard the next row of Taoists in the corridor knocking the bell and striking the chime, and the sound of silk and bamboo rose together. After reciting the confession, incense and prayer, worship the gods of the three worlds of heaven and earth, burn talismans and dance swords, a set of things to do smoothly, it is very good-looking. It's just that Shangguan Jing looked solemn from beginning to end, and seemed to be a little nervous. A ritual was lively for a long time, and finally after sending the plague god outside the gate, the villagers slowly dispersed. Wu Wei accompanied the magistrate and several elderly squires to the county government for a banquet, and there was no need to count them.

In the evening of the same day, Fang Tongbao returned to Changchun to look for Wuwei, but unexpectedly found that this view was empty, there was no figure, and he wandered around the mountain gate for a long time, only to come out from behind an old road, seeing a strange visitor, a little uneasy, and asked worriedly: "What is the reason why Mr. is here?" Fang Tongbao was also puzzled, and said: "I am a friend of Shangguan Daochang, and I heard that he was here when I passed by Songjiang, so I came to visit." Is the Taoist chief available? Lao Dao said: "The Taoist chief was invited by the magistrate to go, and he will probably be back soon." Sir, please sit inside. So he led him to the back room of the palace. When passing by the backyard, Fang Tongbao saw that the courtyard wall looked like a garden, the bushes were dark green, and there were bamboo fences and thatched pavilions between them, which was quite wild, and could not help but stop and visit. Lao Dao said: "Inside is the rose garden of Zhang Zhenren before. It's only beautiful in the summer! Fang Tongbao looked around and said, "Why are there no other Taoists in this view?" Lao Dao said: "Sir, you are from other places, I don't know, there are few Taoists here, and as soon as Zhang Zhenren passed away, he dispersed." I'm a local, I'm old, and I don't have anywhere else to go, so I'm just looking at the garden. Alas, this place has always been poor, and there is nothing to entertain, sir. "But when I was playing Jiao in the morning, I saw a lot of Taoists playing music...... "Fang Tongbao was puzzled. Lao Dao shook his head and said, "Those are the music classes that were temporarily invited." ”

Lao Dao invited him into the wing, lit the lamp, and went to make tea. The sky is getting dark, there is silence in the Taoist temple, and the occasional bird flies by, adding to the cold. Fang Tongbao sat uncomfortably, still going out and standing under the porch. After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps, not the old way, turned my head to look, and sure enough, Wuwei came back. Wuwei arched his hand at him from afar and said, "Brother Fang, it's always been good." How did you find this place? Fang Tongbao said with a smile: "I went to Hangzhou, I just arrived in Songjiang Mansion this morning, and I heard that there was a good Dharma event here, so I came to see the excitement. What a coincidence, what a coincidence. ”

After greeting each other, the two entered the house and sat down. Wuwei said: "Brother Fang, but go to Hangzhou to watch the martial arts conference?" Fang Tongbao nodded and said, "I won't tell you, I plan to follow Mr. Qi in the future and serve for the Xihai League." After this conference, he returned to his hometown in Shuzhong with him. Wuwei said with a smile: "People in the rivers and lakes, it seems that there is no one who does not go to observe the conference." I will also go to Hangzhou to see the excitement in the future. Fang Tongbao asked, "Why don't you see Miss Dongfang?" Wuwei said: "She has some things to do and goes back to Nanjing, and she will make an appointment with me to meet in Hangzhou in a few days." Fang Tongbao had long felt that the relationship between the two was a little weird, but it was not easy to show it on his face, so he only said: "Miss Dongfang is indeed a strange person." Wuwei didn't realize what he meant, and smiled slightly: "She also has a lot of difficulties." ”

After having a little dinner, Wu Wei told Fang Tongbao about what happened after he and Dongfang Lin said goodbye to Qiu Yinming in Huaiyue Villa. It was the end of October, and the two went all the way to Nanjing and secretly went to Qilin Villa to visit their grandfather. In the cool autumn, my grandfather felt a little sick, and he was especially happy to see her coming. So the two stayed in the villa for a few days, during which Dongfang Yan also came to get together. When the ancestors and grandchildren gossiped about homeliness, my grandfather mentioned an old friend, Songjiang Governor Changchun Guanguan advocated a real person, who often came and went in the early years, and also played Jiao at home. Dongfang Lin still remembers that he was a gentle and kind old man, but as he got older, he didn't interact much. A few days ago, my grandfather suddenly received a letter from Zhang Zhenren's apprentice, saying that Zhenren had passed away in August. When people reach their old age, everything is vast, and old friends have made ancient times, and it is difficult not to be sad. Grandfather felt that his health was not as good as before, he wanted to go to Changchun to mourn in person, but he didn't have to make the trip, and he felt that he couldn't do his best to ask others to go.

On the day when the two of them arrived at Songjiang Mansion, the rain poured down, and they had no intention of lingering elsewhere in the city, so they went directly out of the West Gate and rushed to Changchun Guanli. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a coffin parked under the corridor of the main hall, several Taoists were packing things in and out, and pulled a Taoist boy to ask, only to know that there was a plague in Huating County recently, and many people died, and the old Taoist in the coffin outside had just died yesterday, and it was raining, and he had not had time to be buried. Since Zhang Zhenren's death, the hearts of the people in the audience have been scattered, and when the plague meets, everyone has found their own way out. Seeing that this boy looked flustered and couldn't speak clearly, the two didn't ask much, unloaded the rain gear, and entered the Sanqing Palace.

There was an old Taoist in the hall who sat on a low stool to repair an umbrella, looked up and saw that the two people who came in were neatly dressed and walked vigorously, and they were bluffed coldly, and then looked at it, but it was a quiet young man and a girl in men's clothes, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped forward to greet him. After greeting for a while, Wuwei and Dongfang Lin learned from the old Taoist that since Zhang Zhenren passed away, there has never been peace in this view. It turned out that there had been a group of beggars in the city of Songjiang Mansion for many years, all of which were under the jurisdiction of a group leader surnamed Jin. Although this surnamed Jin is a beggar's head, but the power is great, there are more than 100 beggars under his command, and on weekdays, they walk the streets and alleys in tattered clothes and stinky and forcibly beg, and they block the door and road without giving money and things to prevent people from living in peace. Unscrupulous, even the Huating county order was stopped by them in a sedan chair, it is said that it was because the county order picketed the empty quota of the Jintuan head to eat the empty amount of the nursing home. This Jin Tuantou is nominally the head of the orphaned old man of the Huating County Nursing Home, and for many years he has lied about the number of people and the amount of empty money, and used money and rice to bribe the soap officials in charge, and also lends usury, and now he is a rich family, living in a good house, with high-quality food and clothing, just like a piece of land.

Around the summer, I heard that Yan Guanren, the ambassador of the Songjiang Prefecture Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, had taken a fancy to the Rose Garden in Changchun and wanted to keep it for himself, but Zhang Zhenren did not sell it, so Yan Guanren came up with a bad idea and spent money to let Jin Tuantou instigate a group of beggars and singles, and they came to make trouble twice in three days. At first, he also took into account that Zhang Zhenren was a respected old man in the county, and he didn't dare to make a fuss, but when the real person died, he made a fuss even more.

Let's say that night, Wu Wei told Fang Tongbao about the details of this room, and talked about what this group of beggars did, which was really shameful, because he said: "In the past, I also walked the rivers and lakes, except for taking care of my own livelihood, I really didn't pay attention to these last streams, and now I know that they are extremely hateful." Fang Tongbao said with a smile: "Alas, Brother Shangguan is elegant, so he naturally ignores the tricks of such filthy people. It can be described as a giant silverfish, each with its own way. If you collide with them, you will inevitably have to splash dirty water. ”

Wuwei shook his head and smiled: "Brother Fang made fun of it." It's a hassle indeed. At that time, when I heard the old Taoist elder say, Miss Dongfang and I were angry. Especially Miss Dongfang, Zhang Zhenren is an old friend of the old man of Dongfang, and he came to pay tribute this time, but he happened to bump into this evil gangster. To tell you the truth, on the second day we arrived here, there were people who called flowers to splash and urine in front of the door, singing and dancing, so that people outside were not allowed to approach, and people inside could not get out. was going to send the Taoist who died of illness out of the funeral, but he was also blocked. Miss Dongfang wanted to go out and break up these people, but she couldn't bear the filth, so in the end I went to drive them away temporarily. Wuwei said helplessly, "It's not good to hurt people, nominally they are poor people who beg for a living." ”

Fang Tongbao asked, "Then later, how did you settle them?" Wuwei said: "There is no good way, I can only secretly teach Jin Tuantou and the strict official a lesson, so that they are afraid for the time being, and they dare not come to Guanzhong to cause trouble again." He smiled wryly and said, "At best, it's just expediency." Although the surname Jin is not very capable, after all, he is a local snake and has a wide range of contacts, so he immediately went to the government office to report to the official. And the strict official, although he is only a minor official from the ninth grade, is in charge of the fabrics offered to the imperial court, and has a good relationship with the eunuchs sent here from above, and the prefect also has to give some face. So, several times the servants came to the door to ask for people. Almost got into a fight. Fortunately, the county ordered Master Miao to reach it, and based on reason, Songjiang Mansion ended the case. Fang Tongbao said: "It's good to be like this." Dealing with the government is always aggrieved. Fortunately, there was no need to use money to make money. Wuwei said with a smile: "Coincidentally, at that time, I practiced medicine and medicine in the view in the name of Youfang Daoist, and cured many villagers. Master Miao took the opportunity to persuade the prefect that he would put people's livelihood first and try his best to calm people. Fortunately, it was not the powerful who made trouble, otherwise it would not be so easy to handle. Alas, I've been taught. When I leave another day, I don't know what will happen to these people! ”

Fang Tongbao said: "Brother Shangguan is good-natured, if he is someone else, maybe he will simply cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Wuwei shook his head and said, "Not good." Heaven has the virtue of a good life. As Brother Fang said, ants also have a way to survive, if you get rid of a golden tuantou today, tomorrow there may be another Li Tuantou, Wang Tuantou, how can you get rid of the roots. We can only see and do good, and we cannot turn the world around. As soon as these words came out, both of them thought about it.

That night, the two chatted until the third watch to rest. Three days later, Wuwei returned the Taoist temple to the care of the old Taoist, and went to Hangzhou with Fang Tongbao. After three days, Dongfang Lin arrived from Nanjing. She went here to show her grandfather about the Changchun view, and just after the New Year, her grandfather kept her for a few days. Due to the last time they ran away from the marriage, the Dongfang family and the Bai family were very embarrassed, and it was inconvenient to come to this conference, so they only asked someone to send a letter to say hello to the old pavilion master. Dongfang Lin felt guilty for this, and he couldn't keep up his spirits for a few days.
