The examination was in full swing, but Yang Shenjin, the servant of the ministry, was not distracted, and there were several strange things in his house, first of all, there was always a ghost with a blue face and fangs faintly reflected on the door of his house, but this ghost was only seen by him Yang Shenjin, and others saw nothing; The second is that his ancestral tomb suddenly turned red, as if soaked in blood, and two strange things in a row made the Yang family uneasy day and night, and fell into a deep panic.

Especially Yang's father, he was even more anxious, he thought that the ancestors had a bloody disaster in the ground, so he asked Sun for help with a vision, this kind of thing is often encountered in every family, and it is understandable to ask monks and Taoists to exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts, but the problem is that the ancestors of the Yang family are the ancestors of the world, and praying for the ancestors is not embarrassing the Li family's royal family?

The Taoist priest invited by Yang's father is called Shi Jingzhong, this person has always been mixed with high-ranking officials and nobles, and the methods and means of exorcising ghosts are actually no different from the Kong Fang Dao people of the year, but the treatment of the two is very different, this is quite like a scalper who resells Spring Festival tickets, Kong Fang Dao is the kind of little scalper who wears a yellow cotton coat, shrunk his hand and shivers in the cold wind, resells a few tickets in demand and is afraid that the police will arrest him; And Shi Jingzhong was sitting in an air-conditioned room, holding coffee, casually typing on the keyboard twice, dialing a few numbers, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of scalpers, even the police had to look at his face.

The key to this is the door and backstage, Shi Jingzhong is very popular in Beijing, relying on knowing many powerful people and the royal family.

At this moment, Shi Jingzhong set up a dojo in the back garden of the Yang family, he was wearing a heavenly master robe, holding a peachwood sword, his mouth was reciting, and a pair of sharp eyes seemed to see through the sky, and in the dojo, Yang Shenjin, the dignified servant of the Tang Dynasty, was naked, wearing heavy shackles, sitting cross-legged on the wooden platform, closing his eyes tightly, trembling all over, I don't know if it was frozen or Shi Jingzhong's spell was effective.

Father Yang looked at his son anxiously on the side, Shi Jingzhong said that his yang qi had weakened, and he couldn't suppress the evil, and his only request was to advance the seventieth birthday that should have been in October to April, and use happiness to ward off the evil.

"Dao Chief, if he can't do it alone, I can call Erlang and Saburo to help."

Father Yang's kindness ended up with a cold snort, who should be let naturally be decided by Daoist Shi, where is his turn to talk more, Father Yang couldn't help but be embarrassed, and muttered: "I'm just a piece of kindness, don't blame Daochang!" ”

"That's it!"

Shi Jingzhong's peachwood sword was retracted, and he pointed at Yang Shen three times, "Do the dojo for another three days, and the red blood will naturally subside after a month, so you don't have to worry." ”

Yang Shenjin let out a long breath, climbed down from the wooden platform with stiff feet, and staggered out of the dojo, his father quickly took off his shackles, and put clothes on him, touched his hands and feet cold, and saw that his face was full of exhaustion, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Son, tomorrow Erlang will do it!" You can't always carry everything alone. ”

Shi Jingzhong next to him raised his eyebrows, and his face turned into a walnut, "Old lady, you better go back and be your birthday star!" Who should do it, the poor road has its own measure. ”

Today is Yang's father's 70th birthday, and dozens of relatives and friends from the family have come, all waiting in the front hall to celebrate his birthday, while he himself has come to see the dojo.

At this time, the anxious voice of the housekeeper came from outside the wall, "Master, the third master has quarreled with Li Shilang of the household department at the gate, you can go and take a look!" If you don't go, you're going to have a fight. ”

Yang Shen was taken aback, Li Qing was a distinguished guest he had invited, how could the third child quarrel with him or even fight? He didn't care about tidying up his clothes, and he didn't have time to explain a few words to Shi Jingzhong, so he put on his hat and hurried out.

"Why did the third master quarrel with Li Shilang?" Yang Shenjin asked and walked, his third brother was Luoyang Ling, and he was also an official of the imperial court, how could he easily offend important ministers of the imperial court, he couldn't understand it.

The butler's face showed a strange look, and he replied with a bitter face: "It's hard to say, the eldest master will know when he goes to see it." ”

Yang Shen was even more surprised, at this time he was almost at the gate, and he didn't have time to ask in detail, only to see a group of family members gathered inside the gate, all holding wooden sticks, their faces were full of righteous indignation, but their eyes showed timidity, and they looked out.

"What are you doing here, still holding sticks, is my family a martial arts gym? Today is the old lady's birthday, there are so many things to do, do what you have to do, don't pile up here! ”

Yang Shenjin shouted back, snorted heavily, he stepped out of the threshold with his right foot, but his left foot couldn't follow, he was stunned.

I saw Li Qing wearing linen and filial piety, dressed in plain white, holding a mourning stick, arguing with his third brother Yang Shenming, "I repeat, in your opinion, today is the old lady's seventieth birthday, but in my eyes, today next year is the sacrifice day of your Yang family's mansion, so today is here to pay tribute to filial piety." ”

Yang Shen was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Li Qing and shouted: "Hurry up, if you don't leave, don't blame me for doing it!" ”

"If any of you dare to touch my family, you will have a hair, and you will screw off his head as a urinal!" A fierce and vicious Black Tai Sui stood next to Li Qing and shouted arrogantly.

Yang Shenjin couldn't close his mouth in surprise, he knew that Li Qing would never do such an embarrassing thing on weekdays, what happened today? After all, Yang Shenjin is a servant of the ministry, and he is a long, much more stable than his brother, and as soon as he groaned, he knew that there must be a reason for it.

"The third child!" I'll take care of it! ”

The two brothers of the Yang family both looked at the eldest brother as the leader, and since the eldest brother had already spoken, Yang Shenming glared at Li Fei Yuanli fiercely, and turned back angrily

。

"Yang Ming, why are you doing this?" Yang Shen asked Li Qing with a smile.

Li Qing glanced at his messy collar and hair, but said with a cold smile: "The whole neighborhood has spread that Yang Shilang is naked and does things, I think since I have a relationship with you, I specially came to pay tribute to filial piety." ”

At this time, Yang Shenjin began to taste Li Qing's words a little, his face changed greatly, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Qing's wrist, and hurriedly whispered: "Yangming, let's go inside and say something." ”

He pulled Li Qing into the side door quickly, and soon came to a quiet courtyard, and instructed his subordinates: "Look at the door, no one is allowed to come in!" ”

Yang Shenjin closed the door and closed the curtains again, and he asked nervously, "Say it!" What happened to make Yang Ming so worried? ”

"Humph! Where I am worried, it should be the emperor who is worried. ”

Li Qing casually threw the mourning stick into the corner, "The master of the Yang family wants to restore the ancestral business through witchcraft, this is the king:|..

Li Qing's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which stunned Yang Shenjin, and the implication was that his Yang family wanted to rebel.

"This bastard!"

Yang Shenjin, who has always been known for his elegance, couldn't hold back any longer, slammed his fist on the wall, his face was distorted and deformed, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wang: Cheng? ”

Yang Shenjin and Wang:; The two of them are energetic, you ridicule me for being pretentious, I ridicule your mother's bad background, although the two are both Xiangguo Party, but they are not in harmony with each other.

"You're wrong!"

Li Qing's face was unusually calm, and he said lightly: "He Wang: +. Come, how does he know that you asked a Taoist priest to do things, you can know this matter after thinking about it carefully." ”

Yang Shenjin's face became extremely pale, he couldn't help but take a step back, and muttered, "Li Linfu, is it him?" ”

He betrayed Li Linfu, his heart has always been bottomless, he knows that according to Li Linfu's style, he will never let him go, he has always been vigilant, but it has been a few months, Li Linfu has not moved, just when he just breathed a sigh of relief, Li Linfu quietly made a move.

"Not only that, this year's exam questions have been leaked, Brother Yang, as a servant of the ministry, is guilty of blame, just waiting to be impeached!"

Li Qing's words seemed to Yang Shenjin to sprinkle a handful of salt on a deep knife, although it would hurt, but his feeling was already a little numb at this time, he looked at Li Qing blankly, his mind was blank, as if his memory had been stolen by someone.

"Brother Yang understands now! I came to mourn filial piety for a reason. The corners of Li Qing's mouth curved up slightly, revealing a childlike mischievous smile.

Yang Shenjin shivered, all kinds of pain surged into his heart, he was so painful that he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, his heart was afraid and chaotic, and he didn't know what to do.

Li Qing gently pinched his shoulder and smiled slightly: "If things really come to that point, I won't come to the door, it's too late to hide!" Brother Yang, do you understand? ”

Yang Shen looked up at Li Qing violently, and he suddenly understood, since Li Qing said so, then he must have already thought of a countermeasure for himself, 'Oh my God! Pinching Li Qing's wrist, he was so anxious that he stammered: "Brother Li, no!" Brother, you have to save your eldest brother, your nephew is still young, I can't be fine! ”

"Since you beg me so much, then there is no need for me to hang my filial piety!" Li Qing laughed, stretched out his hand to tear off Ma Xiao, revealing his original clothes, he took Yang Shenjin's hand, sat down first, and smiled: "Come on!" Brother Yang, let's sit down and talk slowly, since they impeached the master, we can push the boat down the river, but my method may be a bit rancid, and I will embarrass the master.

.

Early the next morning, a crazy old man appeared on the street of Yankangfang in Chang'an, sometimes laughing stupidly, sometimes climbing up the tree like a naughty boy to dig out the bird's nest, sometimes pulling the girl to call her mother, picking up the baby and calling for the child, all the people looked sideways at this poor crazy old man, many people felt incredible, isn't this Yang Shilang's old father? How could you go crazy?

"Old lady, please go back!" Several family members surrounded Mrs. Yang before and after, and even coaxed and coerced him in an attempt to arrest him back, but the housekeeper kept explaining to passers-by: "My old lady is fine, not sick!" No sickness! ”

At the same time as the old lady Yang, Shi Jingzhong, a famous Taoist priest in Chang'an, was tied with a rope by Yang Shenjin and personally sent to the Chang'an County Ya, whose crime was to use witchcraft in the name of curing diseases in order to defraud money.

It is the evening of this day, Tianbao's five-year imperial examination ended in the expectation or frustration of countless scholars, Pingkangfang and even the entire Chang'an City once again became a noisy ocean, full of mentally relaxed taxis, groups of people took over to hang out in Chang'an City, hotels, Qinglou were overcrowded, and it was even more lively in the West Market, and the taxis who bought local products crowded the wide West Market Street, and the guys shouted harder, and tried their best to attract guests.

At this time, a long team of empty carriages slowly drove towards the cabinet shop at the gate of the West Market, and stopped in the small square in front of the cabinet shop, a man ran up the steps quickly, he took out a 100,000 yuan cabinet ticket from his arms, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a smug smile.
