Chapter 401: False Lama
Although Shifang Yama failed to kill the emperor, after the emperor returned to the palace, he was in a state of panic, in a trance all day long, looking restless, after drinking the soothing soup prescribed by the imperial doctors, it did not work, and even woke up from a nightmare at night, his whole body was in a cold sweat, and he trembled.
Recently, the beautiful Du Guiren, who has been favored so much that she never leaves her body every day, took the opportunity to say to the emperor: "Long live the lord, the imperial doctors in this palace have come to see it, and it is useless, and the concubine heard that there is a lama from the Western Regions in the imperial city, he has boundless mana, and he is good at incurable diseases, so it is better to invite him to take a look." ”
The emperor was a little groggy at the moment, and nodded when he saw her say this.
Is there really such a lama in the imperial city? There is one person, but what magic is boundless, and mastery of medical skills is all a lie?
This lama's original name was Wei Lai, and he was a charlatan, and he heard that in recent years, he could have endless money and endless women by pretending to be a living Buddha lama, so he himself appointed a red-clothed lama to go out to preach.
He put on the lama's red clothes, put on a high lama hat, and then held a demon pestle, and swaggered everywhere, saying that he could subdue demons and catch monsters, and also cure all diseases.
Originally, he was a little trick in the rivers and lakes, but because he had a lama's skin as a cover, he was stunned to deceive many people.
Many people worship him as a guru and become his disciples, and it is nothing to give up all their wealth to support him, and they even willingly give their wives and daughters to him to enjoy, and think that this is a blessing for their family.
This Wailai Lama is also bold, and after all the gold and silver treasures are in his pocket, even the woman in his arms is picky.
Three days ago, he saw a beautiful young woman on the street, and he immediately lost his soul and fell in love with her, and Wei Lai quietly followed her for three streets before he learned that it was the thirteenth aunt wife of Zhang Haogu, the magistrate of the imperial city.
If you want to be someone else, you may give up, but this Wei Lai is different, he thought, now I am not the street liar that everyone kicked before, I am now a living Buddha lama, who seems to have to give me silver and give a woman when he has broken his head?
The prefect of the imperial city is just a small sesame official, why just ask him for a concubine, what else can he do?
So that night, the Lama had Zhang Haogu's concubine forcibly snatched into the temple that a deceived believer had built for him.
Zhang Haogu almost lost his joy when he heard about this.
Because this concubine is a thin horse he bought back from Yangzhou, simply put, she is a kiln sister, and her status in the house is similar to that of the maids, if she hadn't been kidnapped this time, I really couldn't remember her.
However, forcibly taking away the people in his mansion is a blatant confrontation with the government, and it is obviously a slap in the face.
If the bosses of the court and the central government knew that he Zhang Haogu was cuckolded by a lama, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of everyone?
Zhang Haogu threw down a fire lottery and asked twenty people from the yamen to arrest Wei Lai, who was a fake lama and a real thief.
Wei Lai caught a beautiful woman, and before he had time to get close, he was brought to the yamen.
Zhang Haogu didn't say a word, so he asked him to beat him 20 boards first as a meeting gift.
The officials on both sides took off his pants and picked up the board, which really made it a good fight.
Suddenly, a fast horse arrived at the entrance of the yamen, and jumped down a man who looked like a eunuch, still holding the holy decree in his hand.
This frightened Zhang Haogu.
He hurriedly picked up his official uniform and knelt down.
"Zhang Haogu, the magistrate of the imperial city, received the order." The father-in-law's shrill voice seemed to be shouted by pinching his throat.
"The lower officials are here, long live the emperor, long live long live." Zhang Haogu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he thought to himself: I haven't done anything bad recently, why did I go up and issue a holy decree to cut off my head? Oh, it's really nothing to sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, I occasionally feel unwell today, and ordered Zhang Haogu to take the red-clothed lama Wei Lai into the palace to treat my illness and share my worries, there must be no mistake."
As soon as the father-in-law finished speaking, he saw that Zhang Haogu's face turned white.
He coughed vigorously, and Zhang Haogu took the holy decree, kowtowed and said, "Weichen has the decree." ”
The father-in-law smiled and said: "Zhang Zhixian, you are really blessed, there is a red-clothed lama in the imperial city, and you have also followed a lot, quickly find this lama to enter the palace with our family, the emperor is still waiting for you." ”
Zhang Haogu said with an ugly face: "Father-in-law, I'm afraid this red-clothed lama won't be able to enter the palace." ”
"Oh? Why is that? Could it be that he is no longer in the Imperial City? The father-in-law asked in surprise.
Zhang Haogu said: "Yes, he is not only in the imperial city, but now he is in the lobby, you come and see." ”
After speaking, he made a bitter face and pointed to Wei Lai, who was stripped of his pants and pressed to the ground, and his ass was opened.
"This ...... This is the Cardinal Lama? "My father-in-law found out that he was going to have a heart attack.
"I didn't ...... That's right, it's him. Zhang Haogu's hand holding the holy decree was sweating.
"It's over, it's over, don't talk about entering the palace now, we can't even climb up when we see him, this time we're finished." The father-in-law took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his head again, but the more he wiped it, the more he wiped it.
"Alas, this guy robbed my thirteenth aunt last night, so I caught him to play the board, I didn't expect it...... The emperor suddenly remembered him...... This is ...... How can this be for me? ”
Zhang Haogu also regrets it now, he knew that he would clean him up in a few days, but he was in a hurry at this time.
The father-in-law felt that he was about to cry, since he entered the palace, he had only cried on the day when the emperor made him the chief eunuch of internal affairs.
"Zhang Zhixian, you should think of a way, if he is carried into the palace on a stretcher, the emperor will have to cut off our heads."
Zhang Haogu said: "Speaking of which, it's all blame on this liar for being too hateful, what is he pretending to be bad, not pretending to be a lama, and now so many people believe him, even the emperor ......."
He suddenly stopped talking, and if he continued, he didn't have to enter the palace, he would have to be beheaded now.
But this father-in-law suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea.
"Oh, Zhang Zhixian, I have a way, since you said that this Wei Lai is a liar and a fake lama, then he can't go now, let's find another liar to pretend to be a red-clothed lama and enter the palace to restore his life, isn't it?"
Zhang Haogu frowned and said, "Huh? This is a crime of deception! If the emperor finds out, our heads will be gone. ”
The father-in-law said loudly: "But we don't have a choice now, since we are all dead, it is better to gamble." ”
Zhang Haogu secretly thought: No matter what, they are all liars anyway, even if they bring this Wei Lai into the palace, if the emperor finds out that he is a liar, he will be a dead end, now give him a chance to find a liar again, then it is better to find a more professional and reliable liar.
Which liar is the most powerful in the Imperial City?
