Chapter 173: Luring the Wolf into the House
Chapter 173 lure the wolf into the room
Xu Huan's contempt and ridicule were the understanding of the White Lotus Sect by most of the people in that era. The White Lotus Church is popular among the people, mainly relying on the tricks of pretending to be gods and ghosts and the power of helping each other, and its followers are still a minority compared to the huge population base.
If it is put aside to later generations, all the rebellions that occurred in history are all defined as uprisings, and the rebels are all righteous and chivalrous people, but this may not be the case. Although there are many heroes in the sect who are chivalrous and righteous, hoeing violence and being peaceful, there are also evil people who do evil and cause trouble in the township.
In their novels of strange people, novels of city people, historical romances, novels of public cases, novels of gods and demons, and notes, more descriptions are the oppression of good behaviors by the government and the magnates, and they criticize and ridicule it, they are mostly dissatisfied with the court because of their own unwillingness, but even when they write about the White Lotus Sect, they rarely praise it, and most of the disciples in the White Lotus Sect are called demons, which shows how the White Lotus Sect is in the folk reputation.
Wang Jingangu didn't expect that Shandong, which was thousands of miles away, the situation was already so grim, and he couldn't help but secretly feel tricky in his heart, he came to Shandong to join his cousin not only to save himself, he also had a greater purpose, now that the White Lotus Sect in Jinan has obviously been destroyed, Wang Jingangnu began to ponder, should he leave Jinan to go to Shanxi?
The White Lotus Sect in various places is passed down from generation to generation in a family way, and Shanxi is the territory of the Li family, and it seems that it is still relatively peaceful there. However, he thought about it, and felt that the current situation in Jinan was not good for himself, if he used it well, but it was not an opportunity, the rabbit was in a hurry and bit people, if the head of the White Lotus Sect in Jinan had not been caught, then ......
Thinking of this, Wang Yiyuan asked, "Oh, then, has the White Lotus Sect leader here been caught?" ”
Xu Huan said: "If you catch it, you won't have such a big battle." I heard that those White Lotus Sect leaders are all some true disciples, scattering beans into soldiers, cutting paper into cranes, and having some magical powers. I heard that the head of the White Lotus Sect Niu does not go out in the wild, and he can become a donkey by taking a bench in his hand, and when he gets off the place and stretches out his hand, hey the donkey will become a bench again, those are all demons, which are so easy to catch. ”
When Vajranu heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face......

Xia Xun returned to the Qingzhou Post House with a swollen nose and a swollen face, and he had to have a horse to travel, otherwise just the bruise on the UI, he would have choked if he wanted to walk back to Qingzhou City.
Qingzhou Yicheng was very nervous, and he cared for him for a long time, how could Xia Xun tell him what he had encountered, and Lao Yicheng did not stop until he was sure that Yang had not met a bandit. He knows Xia Xun's identity, even if Xia Xun interviews around, he can't lose contact with Huang Zhen like a kite with a broken string.
So everywhere he went, he had to stay in the official post and keep in touch with Huang Zhen accordingly. It's just that in this way, he can't hide his traces, in case he lets King Qi know that he has been to Qingzhou but doesn't go to see him, it will be difficult to explain, so he still has to go to the Qi Palace.
It's just that he was in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived in Qingzhou, he went directly to Pengjiazhuang, and now he ended up like this, and it was not good for Qi Wangfu to go immediately, so he had to rest in the post house for two days, hoping to recuperate his injuries, and then go to Qi Wangfu to meet the old club.
The nephews of the Peng family have practiced kung fu at the bottom, and they know where to start, Xia Xun was beaten very embarrassed, but he was not seriously injured, and after raising for a day, he was finally able to walk slowly on the ground. That afternoon, Xia Xun changed his medicine, lay down on the chair like a mummy, and was half-asleep and half-awake to recuperate, when Lao Yicheng suddenly appeared sneakily beside him, with a strange look on his face.
Xia Xun noticed that there was someone, opened his eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
Lao Yicheng hesitated for a moment, rubbed his hands, and said with a dry smile: "Lord Yang, there is a guest who wants to see you." ”
"Oh, you want to see me? Who is it? ”
Lao Yicheng said with difficulty: "Yes...... One...... Nun. ”
Xia Xun was shocked, he had watched too many TV series in his previous life, and his imagination was richer, and he immediately thought that Peng Ziqi couldn't think of it, so he actually cut his hair and became a nun, he asked anxiously: "What is her name and how old is she?" Ouch ......"
Xia Xun was anxious to stand up, but he was kicked and bruised, swollen and high, and this force pulled the injury, so painful that he stumbled, and fell back on the chair.
Lao Yicheng said: "That nun is ruthless, it looks like there are more than forty?" Well, more than thirty, maybe fifty, it's just well-maintained......"
Xia Xun was relieved when he heard this, he thought about it carefully, he didn't know such a monk in Qingzhou, and he didn't feel curious, so he said, "Please let that teacher come in." ”
A bhikshuni dressed in moon-white monk's robes and described as a little withered walked into the room with the old post man, and Xia Xun had already stood up slowly with the back of his chair.
As soon as the nun saw him, her figure shook, and she swept to his side, her movements were extremely fast, Xia Xun was taken aback, and said that she had met an assassin, but before he could react, her right arm had fallen into the hands of the nun.
"Fortunately, those bunnies are finally measured and have no internal injuries."
The nun sighed, circled around him twice, looked up and down, and asked, "Yang Xu, do you have broken bones in your hands, feet, and limbs?" ”
Xia Xun said blankly: "This official's hands and feet are all right, may I ask ...... the master?" ”
The nun said happily: "That's good, Qiqi's girl heard that you were beaten by her brothers, and she was so anxious that she wanted to die, you are fine, otherwise she will make Pengjiazhuang restless." ”
Xia Xun was overjoyed and said: "Qi Qi, Zi Qi? Who is Mrs. Ziqi? ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly found that the old Yicheng was still standing aside, listening to them with his ears pricked up, and hurriedly coughed and said, "Wang Yicheng, you can step down." ”
"Yes" Lao Yicheng glanced at them very ambiguously and retreated gently.
As soon as Wang Yicheng left, Xia Xun immediately said impatiently: "Mrs. Shi was entrusted by Ziqi?" ”
The nun sighed softly, and the wrinkles on her face deepened: "The poor nun is Ziqi's aunt, you were beaten by my Peng family's children, Ziqi was very relieved when she heard about it, but she is not free now, so she asked me to come to see you." ”
Xia Xun hurriedly said, "Auntie, how is Ziqi now?" ”
The ruthless master said: "Ziqi is very good, my eldest brother will not be difficult for his own precious daughter." It's just ......, Yang Xu, I'm afraid the matter between you and Ziqi is not good......"

"You are a scholar, you have the identity of a showman, come to my Liu Xiangzhi's house to help out with things, don't you feel wronged?"
Liu Xiangzhi, the old man of the Liu Mansion, listened to the introduction of the second steward Xu Huan, and asked his cousin Wang Jingangnu very kindly.
Wang Yiyuan arched his hand and said: "Master Liu, I won't tell you that although the student has passed the examination, he is actually very limited, and he knows that he can't go further." The student's family has no permanent property, and he can't rely on the identity of a showman to sit and eat nothing, this time he went to Jinan to join his cousin, just to find a job and do things in a down-to-earth manner. Master Liu is a gentleman in Jinan, rich in the world, and can do things in Master Liu's mansion, which is very decent, what is there to compromise? ”
Liu Xiangzhi smiled when he heard this: "Okay, if you don't think it's wrong, then it's good." Yiyuan is a showman, I can't be too sorry for you, Liu Ya, you take Yiyuan to our Dasheng bookstore to recognize the door, and introduce the shopkeeper He, and ask Yiyuan to make a tent there. One yuan, you do a good job, if you show è, the old man will transfer you to the general number to do things in the future. ”
Xu Huan was surprised and delighted when he heard it, and thanked him again and again. You must know that the account room is not something that everyone can do, generally speaking, the account office of a store is not cultivated step by step from the young man who runs the UI, and in the end, he is not only proficient in business, but also knows the roots, and is loyal to the family, which can make him serve as the account office.
Now Master Liu directly arranged an envoy for Wang Yiyuan in the account room, of course, because he has a meritorious reputation, he can't take a look at it, and it is not because of his Xu Huan's face. Wang Yiyuan also thanked him again and again, and then resigned from Master Liu, and his scholar Liu Ya sent him to the bookstore.
This Liu Xiangzhi Liu is a famous gentleman in Jinan City, and he has only one son, that is, Liu Yujue Liu Gongzi, who had a relationship with Xia Xun.
The Liu family has land, but their main income is business. Generally speaking, since the Ming Dynasty suppressed commerce, then commerce was inevitably underdeveloped in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is not, the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty are very developed, Zhu Yuanzhang governed the world for 30 years, and when Zhu Di arrived, he went to Nanyang seven times, six expeditions to Méng Gu, repaired the Yongle Grand Canon, moved the capital to Beijing, dredged the Grand Canal, and built the Great Wall.
Because what future generations have relished in the history books is how Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly killed many officials, and how Zhu Di brutally dealt with the war criminals and their families listed by him after occupying Nanjing, and completely ignored their outstanding military and political achievements, and completely ignored their achievements in economic governance.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang, an emperor from a peasant background, was very good at grasping politics and the economy. In the Song Dynasty, the handicraft industry was still mainly government-run, and as soon as the Ming Dynasty was established, Zhu Yuanzhang began to make a big deal out of it, in addition to the salt industry, tea industry and other important resources related to the country's economic lifeline must be in the hands of the imperial court, many industries have been turned into private enterprises.
In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, the iron smelting was dismissed, and the private sector was opened, except for gold and silver, which were precious metals, and private mining was allowed. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, private mining was also allowed in coal mines, and in terms of silk weaving, the official handicraft industry in the early Ming Dynasty was still the most prosperous period, and it was left far behind by private silk weaving.
By this time, the Ming Dynasty was far ahead of the whole world, whether it was heavy industries such as iron, shipbuilding, and construction, or light industries such as silk, textiles, porcelain, and printing. With the rise of industry, commerce naturally developed, and although the political status of merchants was not high, they had a lot of social wealth.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's agricultural tax revenue was not high, and the commercial tax was even lower than tax exemption, so the industry and commerce in the early Ming Dynasty quickly rejuvenated. Thirty years ago, the disaster victims were displaced, the land annexation was serious, the country's agricultural base had basically collapsed due to the war, the industry was gone, and only 37 families remained in the prosperous city of Yangzhou, 30 years later, Zhu Yuanzhang rebuilt a huge empire on this ruin.
In the past 30 years, the Liu family has also developed from a small oil and salt shop to a well-known rich gentry in Jinan Mansion, but Master Liu never expected that this time he brought a wolf into the house, but it brought a crisis to his family......
