Chapter 429: College Seven
Chang'an City, Guard's Workshop.
Hearing that Shi Wanjin and Shi Qianjin's master and apprentice actually came to the academy and slandered that there were ghosts and monsters in the academy in public, and also intended to embarrass Li Yi in front of the people and stir up the academy's enrollment today, Chu Limo suddenly became angry.
It was because he had been patrolling around the academy with the guards that he was always on guard to see if there were any assassins who wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate Li Yi, so he couldn't know about it in time, which caused Chu Limo to be full of apologies in his heart.
But fortunately, the lies of Shi Wanjin's master and apprentice were exposed by Li Yi on the spot, so that the academy's enrollment plan today was not affected.
On the contrary, because of this, the college has received donations and sponsorship from businessmen, which has contributed to the development of the college.
Chu Limo's guilty mood became a little better.
However, after the leaders handed over Shi Wanjin and the others to him according to Li Yi's instructions, Chu Limo didn't greet them well along the way.
"Hurry up and let Lao Tzu go, Shao Teniang's pretending to be dead and pretending to be sick! Don't think that if you have a pig's face, you will be amazing! ”
"How dare you come to Datang Academy to make trouble? Spreading gossip to slaughter the people? Hehe...... Just you two dog-like cowards, I'm afraid you shouldn't have the guts, right? ”
"Let's talk about who is behind it, secretly instructing you to do this!"
"You two bull-nosed Taoist priests, how much benefit have you received from others?"
Along the way, not only Chu Limo, but even the rest of the guards who accompanied him kept asking Shi Wanjin and his apprentice coldly.
kept pushing and shouting, full of disgust and disdain, and there were not a few.
Anyway, they have also followed Li Yi and acted many times, so they have long been clear at this moment, knowing that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems.
Just the two bull-nosed Taoist priests, how could they have the courage to dare to come to the Tang Academy to make trouble?
Who in the world doesn't know...... The president of Datang Academy is the current sage Li Shimin? Who doesn't know that the vice president of the academy is Li Bo'an, the master of the horses?
What's more, what good is it for them that the master and apprentice came to the academy to make trouble?
Moreover, once the two of them were exposed to spreading rumors and demagoguery in the academy, then the first thing to destroy would be the reputation of their master and apprentice, that is, the reputation of their entire Xuandu Temple.
In the world, can there be such a stupid person?
Do they dare to oppose the saints of today?
Unless their master and apprentice's heads are caught in the gate and kicked by the donkey, they will be so stupid.
Therefore, not only Chu Limo didn't believe it in his heart, but the rest of the guards around him didn't believe it either.
If there was no one else secretly directing them behind the two of them, then even if they killed Chu Limo and the others, they would never believe it.
Therefore, they kept urging and scolding Shi Wanjin and his apprentices along the way.
But Shi Wanjin's master and apprentice, at this moment, are in a mood like a dumb person eating coptis, and they are miserable.
"Official, there are really ghosts and monsters in the academy, it's not that villains are full of slander!" Shi Wanjin was very persistent in wailing and quibbling, and refused to admit it.
Where did he ever think that in such a short period of time, their master and apprentice would be exposed, and Li Yi would expose their lies on the spot?
From beginning to end, he only saw Li Yi, and he didn't say much to their master and apprentice at all!
Just a few simple questions, they were completely exposed...
Who do they talk to about this special mother's suffering?
Shi Qianjin, who had long been frightened, but when he saw his master Shi Wanjin, after reaching this point, he still refused to admit it, and he looked like he was vibrating, and immediately echoed it.
"Yes, ...... Official, if you don't believe it, let the villain's master enter the academy to check it out, and ...... When the time comes, everything will fall into place..."
Shi Qianjin's voice was apprehensive, and he struggled with fear, and followed Shi Wanjin to quibble.
If he didn't hear this, Shi Wanjin was fine, but as soon as he heard the words of his apprentice Shi Qianjin, Shi Wanjin's whole person was instantly not good.
Almost instantly, Shi Wanjin endured the pain coming from his cheeks and glanced sideways at Shi Qianjin, the apprentice next to him.
"Who is your master? Don't talk nonsense, you kid! Shi Wanjin immediately put aside the relationship with Shi Qianjin, and said with a serious face, "Poor Dao doesn't know you!" ”
At the same time, Shi Wanjin's heart kept insulting Shi Qianjin.
"Shi Qianjin, this stinky boy, why is he so breathless? You can't stand up to deception?"
"If Lao Tzu had known, there would be such a thing today, and he wouldn't have brought a special mother!"
"It's a pit bigger than the sky!"
"Hey...... I think about how Lao Tzu relented and agreed to accept him as an apprentice at the beginning......
The more he thought about it in his heart, the more Shi Wanjin's mood became depressed, and the more he regretted it.
But now, since the matter has been completely exposed, what else can he say?
"If you want to blame, blame Lao Tzu on the spot, I was really blind to the dog's eyes, and I actually took the initiative to propose that Shi Qianjin, a son of a bitch, hide in the crowd of people and give Lao Tzu a trust..."
Shi Wanjin sighed in despair in his heart.
Now, he can only bite the saying that "there are ghosts in the academy", and he doesn't admit that he is talking nonsense, maybe he can still have a glimmer of life.
After all, the crime of demagogizing the people is not ordinary.
Not to mention that he is just a small Taoist priest, even if he is a royal prince and nobleman, even if he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he can't bear this big crime!
What's more, before going to the academy, they also received benefits from other people.
That's more than 5,000 taels of silver, enough for them to renovate the entire Xuandu Temple!
If once he opened his mouth and took the initiative to admit it, it was indeed because he was instructed by others, but he was afraid that he would ...... When today's son Li Shimin had not had time to punish his crimes, he had already inexplicably gone to see King Yama.
Because the person who asked him to do this is not an existence that he can afford to provoke.
That's a person from a big family!
He is a little Taoist priest, where can he afford to provoke?
Therefore, once he can have a glimmer of life and can let him survive, he must desperately grasp the life-saving straw and must not miss the opportunity.
As for his apprentice Shi Qianjin?
Preferably able to ...... Let him be a scapegoat for himself, and that would be the best thing.
Anyway, a stupid person like Shi Qianjin, what else can he do if he is alive?
Thinking like this in his heart, Shi Wanjin's heart suddenly thought of a brilliant plan to steal beams and change pillars.
"Yes, there is!"
"That's him!"
"That way, maybe I'll be able to live!"
Suddenly, Shi Wanjin stopped continuing to quibble.
Anyway, no matter what he says now, I'm afraid Chu Limo and the others will never believe it.
So, Shi Wanjin suddenly asked coldly: "By the way, sir, where are you taking us?" It can't be a prison, right? ”
Shi Wanjin pretended to shrink his neck in fear, with a frightened look on his face.
He's figured it out now.
Even if he wanted to carry out the perfect plan he had just thought of, Shi Wanjin would definitely not be able to show his feet now.
Otherwise, all the work done will be wasted.
The plan he wants to carry out will also be disrupted.
"Hehe......" But seeing Shi Wanjin, a bull-nosed Taoist priest, he didn't quibble at this moment, but asked them where he was taking them, Chu Limo suddenly smiled coldly, "Hurry up and recruit, if you don't recruit now, this official also has 10,000 ways to make you ...... Confess painfully and happily! ”
Chu Limo's words were not to scare them.
Although the current law of the Tang Kingdom is not as cruel and cruel as the previous dynasty, they have a way to deal with this kind of criminal who still does not confess despite the evidence of his guilt.
Moreover, they will not violate the slightest law of the Tang Kingdom.
As soon as Chu Limo spoke, the guards on the side immediately sneered: "Maybe you are still a dead duck now, but later, once you enter the cell, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!" ”
"Yes, I advise you, it's better to confess honestly now, maybe...... You still have a life to live. ”
"Boss, why should we talk too much with these two bulls, it's useless? Wait a while, once they're in the cell, they'll know that the cell isn't the place to be......"
"That's right, sir! All the people are human witnesses, and they still don't admit it? Do you really think that we are all stupid? ”
A guard, with a terrifying smile on his face, continued to speak out to intimidate them along with Chu Limo.
They also wanted to quickly understand the case.
After all, this is what Li Yi explained to them!
They are very interested in this case.
Although they really don't have the power to use the criminal law against Shi Wanjin and the others at will outside, once they enter the prison cell, they can't say anything...
Sure enough!
But listening to the threatening words of Chu Limo and the guards, just thinking about it in his heart, once he entered the prison cell, what a miserable end would be waiting for them, Shi Qianjin's whole person suddenly felt numb.
Even, even every inch of skin on his body was like having countless goosebumps, and he faintly began to tremble.
He doesn't want to die yet!
The reason why he worshiped the Xuandu Temple, worshiped Shi Wanjin's disciple, and became a Taoist priest of the Xuandu Temple, is because he has always believed that a Taoist priest can live forever and become an immortal.
And the reason why he changed his name, from the original name, to the current Shi Qianjin, is that Shi Wanjin successfully deceived him.
Shi Qianjin vaguely remembers the scene of his apprenticeship:
It was a night of "fairy mist".
Shi Qianjin knelt outside the Xuandu Temple for three whole days, and his whole person was hungry and lightheaded, and his eyes couldn't even see what was in front of him.
But at this moment, the entire Xuandu Temple was filled with a white mist, and the rain and smoke were like a fairyland.
Shi Wanjin finally walked out of the Taoist temple and came to meet him.
At that time, Shi Wanjin, as soon as he appeared in front of Shi Qianjin, he was like a god in the sky descending to earth.
As Shi Wanjin took a step, he was like a fairy mist.
This scene made Shi Qianjin happy and excited.
"Dao Chief, you just accept the villain, after the villain, I will do my best to honor you!"
Shi Qianjin was busy kowtowing on the spot, and his mood was as happy as a leaping bird.
Seeing this, Shi Wanjin coughed disappreciatively, then put on a faint look, dusted his hand, and said loudly: "You go back, the poor road does not accept people who have no immortal fate." ”
As soon as he heard this, where could Shi Qianjin be calm?
He knelt outside the Xuandu Temple for three days, without eating a grain of rice or drinking a sip of water, just to be able to cultivate and become an immortal.
In addition, he was already depressed and thin, and he was already about to be unable to bear it.
Therefore, as soon as he heard Shi Wanjin's words, Shi Qianjin immediately took out all his belongings from his arms - three taels of broken silver, and presented them to Shi Wanjin with both hands.
"Dao Chief, you just accept the villain, the villain is willing to give you all his belongings, and from now on, you will be a cow and a horse by the Dao Chief's side!" Shi Qianjin pleaded very sincerely.
As soon as he saw the broken silver, Shi Wanjin was moved.
After all, he was the only one in the entire Xuandu Temple, and he had been uncovering the pot normally for a long time, so almost instantly, Shi Wanjin changed his previous rhetoric.
"Since you have a relationship with the Immortal Dao, then the Poor Dao will accept you as a beginner and become an outsider, and the Poor Dao will give you a good name now, and from now on, you will be called ...... Shi Qianjin!"
Shi Wanjin looked like a master outside the world, took away the broken silver in Shi Qianjin's hand, and then raised his head at a forty-five degree angle and looked at the sky.
That scene made Shi Qianjin even more ironclad in his heart that Shi Wanjin was an immortal!
It's nothing else, it's mainly the white fog at that time, plus Shi Wanjin's demeanor and tone at that time, which are completely in line with Shi Qianjin's vision of an immortal in his heart.
Therefore, Shi Qianjin kept kowtowing with gratitude.
In the days that followed, Shi Qianjin would see ghosts with his own eyes almost every night, and let out a miserable whining sound, constantly moving back and forth outside his door.
Shi Qianjin was so frightened that the whole person was not good.
When he ran to ask Shi Wanjin for help, before he could speak, Shi Wanjin almost took a bite and directly explained the reason why he couldn't sleep all night.
At the same time, Shi Wanjin also told him that it was because he was a wicked person in his previous life that he had this retribution.
He needs to go to the fate and use silver to worship the Taishang Daojun in order to resolve the evil.
Sure enough, after Shi Qianjin did what Shi Wanjin said, although the silver he turned into was gone, but since then, Shi Qianjin has really been haunted by ghosts.
And Taishang Daojun also appeared in his dream.
Since then, Shi Qianjin has believed in all of Shi Wanjin's words.
But all of this is in the past.
"Since Master and his old man are immortals, they will definitely not be afraid of death, but I am afraid of death, after all, I have not been able to live forever!"
After thinking of this, Shi Qianjin immediately grabbed the hand of one of the guards, and while avoiding Shi Wanjin's gaze, he said in a trembling voice: "Official, I recruit, I recruit them all, don't torture me......"
When Chu Limo and the others saw this, they immediately showed a smile.
"This case can finally be clarified!"
As everyone knows, at the same time, although Shi Wanjin didn't show a smile, in fact, his whole heart was so happy that he couldn't speak...
