Chapter Ninety-Eight: One Word and Ten Thoughts
Everyone couldn't help but be amazed after listening to Fang Qingze's remarks, and understood why his business was so big, and the return of all laws to the sect was always inseparable from these points, whether it was in a variety of tricks. Mr. Shi said: "Everyone go back and think about who is the person who manipulates everything and mentions, I will also think about it, do the math, you go back first." Then he turned and went back into the house, and the people dispersed.
After the time of the two pillars of incense, Mr. Shi was sweating profusely, and his face was pale and he suddenly sighed. Cheng Fangdong and Han Yueqiu, who were standing beside him, couldn't help but look at each other, and Han Yueqiu asked, "Master, didn't you count?" Mr. Shi covered his head with his hands, buried his face in the palms of his hands, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I can't count a star, it seems that the leader of a word and a thousand times is several times higher than me, what a peerless master, how many people in the world can have such skills, such people will shock the world if they don't come out." ”
Han Yueqiu and Cheng Fangdong sighed one after another, the three of them stopped talking, they were all thinking in their hearts, and the atmosphere was depressed for a while.
One day later, at noon, in an inn outside Beijing, the old shopkeeper held a candlestick, and led four people into the dim cellar under the inn by the light of the bean-like fire, the air in the cellar was very cold and made people shudder, this cold was not like the kind of freezing cold of three or nine days, but like a poisonous snake crossing the whole body, it seemed to be cold, slowly penetrating into the skin, so that the limbs and hundreds of bones were shocked.
There was a man standing in front of the dim lamp, facing the oil lamp with his back to the few people who had just entered, and one was not burly or thin, just standing motionless like a dummy. One of the people who came in was extremely short, a dwarf, and it was the merchant who had a grudge against Zhongzheng. I only heard Shang Yu say: "Big brother, I'm ready here."
The man nodded but didn't turn around and said: "Very good, we must pay attention to killing all the troubles and never leaving future troubles, wildfires cannot be burned and the spring breeze blows and grows, only by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots will there be no big trouble." One person said: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will take care of everything, there is a business to help, is it still worried that things will not work out if the eldest brother supports it?" ”
The man didn't answer, but asked, "What's going on over there with the ghosts?" The third person looked at the figure was very strong, with big shoulders and a round waist but not tall, only to hear him say in a rough voice: "Don't worry, it's also a new defeat first, Qi Mude and Qi Yan are in a lot of trouble, and their ghosts are swallowed, but the gluttony is still the ghost of the sect leader Meng He, and there are even more sufferings, plus Qi Mude is seriously injured and has internal injuries, and Qi Yan is even more without a leg, and the sect members are dead and wounded, even if they are alive, the ghosts they worship may be scattered." To sum up, the ghosts and witches have become remnants, and they can't afford any strong winds and waves. ”
The so-called big brother still nodded, and said softly to the person standing at the end, "What about you?" How's things going? The fourth person looked a little frightened, trembled, his voice sounded a little trembling, and said, "Big brother, do you have to do this?" Even if you don't do this, you can achieve your goal, why do you have to destroy the heavens, the earth and the people, they are not easy to provoke..... Wouldn't it be counterproductive? ”
The man still turned his back and sighed and said, "I don't want to do this either, it's just that you may only support me for your own purposes, but thank you for being the eldest brother." But heaven, earth and man must be destroyed, there is no doubt about it. ”
The fourth person standing at the end said: "They didn't want to rebel, and when they want to rebel, it's hard to kill them, big brother think twice." "Hey, now they are the pillars of the country, but one day once their wings are stiff and full, we will not be able to guard against it if they have a rebellious heart. If I were alive, I would be able to restrain them, but what if I died? When the time comes, who else in the world can stop the heavens, the earth and the people, I am afraid that the world will not be surnamed Zhu at that time. I'm not doing this because I'm ruthless, I just hope to let the Ming Dynasty be passed on to all generations, and strangle all the hidden dangers in my lifetime. The man known as Big Brother said.
He paused and then said: "The big snake should be hit by seven inches, and the thief will capture its king first, and the people of heaven and earth must first find their hearts and minds. Zhongzheng Yimai, I'm sorry for you! He didn't turn his head when he finished speaking, but waved his hand, and everyone left, leaving only the man still enjoying the cold in the cellar.
The fourth man was the first to come out of the cellar, and the direct midday sun shone down, stinging him a little unable to open his eyes, he covered his face with his hands, and his eyes hurt so much that he left tears, but he couldn't stop it any longer, and kept running down his cheeks, until a pale middle-aged man came over, helped the fourth man into a carriage, and then slowly left. The other three also walked out of the cellar next to the inn, turned over their horses, and whipped away in different directions.
Five days later, Lu Yunzhi was soaking the potion in a large wooden barrel when he heard Yingzi say outside the door: "Lu Lang, the emperor has come to see you." Although Lu Yunzhi grew up in such an unconventional environment as heaven, earth and people, the Confucian thought of monarchs and ministers he learned in his childhood had a profound impact on him, and he heard that the emperor was busy standing up.
Lu Yunzhi can be described as a contradiction, the emperor recognizes him as a royal brother and he refuses, but he still follows the rules, which is incomprehensible to ordinary people, but in fact, Lu Yunzhi just abides by the rules and etiquette, but he is a carefree man by nature, which can become brothers with Qu Xiangtian Qingze.
Lu Yunzhi just stood up from the barrel, but was pressed back into the barrel by Han Yueqiu and Wang Yulu next to him, Han Yueqiu raised his voice and said to Yingzi: "Brother and sister, please tell the emperor that Yunzhi is healing and it is inconvenient to see guests and let him wait for a while, or let him come in to see Yunzhi, in short, he can't get out now." Yingzi felt that something was wrong, but she knew that although Han Yueqiu was cold and kind-hearted, it was for Lu Yunzhi's good, so she turned around and left after being silent outside the door for a while.
After a while, he heard the voice of a eunuch: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is not appropriate." Zhu Qiyu's voice also sounded outside the door: "What's wrong, I'm going to see my brother." As he spoke, he knocked on the door and pushed the door in.
After Han Yueqiu and Wang Yulu bowed their hands to salute, Han Yueqiu continued to meditate cross-legged on the chair, while Wang Yulu held the medical book and read it, not taking the emperor in front of her seriously at all. Zhu Qiyu was not angry, after all, heaven and earth, especially the Zhongzheng lineage, have never been constrained by secular etiquette.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Han Yueqiu and Wang Yulu, and suddenly sighed, he actually wanted to cry, Lu Yunzhi knew that Zhu Qiyu must have something unspeakable to say to himself, so he hurriedly said to Han Yueqiu and Wang Yulu: "Two senior brothers, can you let me talk to the emperor alone." Han Yueqiu rolled Lu Yun's eyes and didn't move, and Lu Yunzhi said again: "I promise not to get up from the potion." Only then did Han Yueqiu stand up and leave the room with Wang Yulu.
