20. Demon Dao
Twenty Demon Dao
The streets of Quanzhou City are wide, paved with flat blueslab stones, it is very comfortable to walk up, and the width of this street, there can be about fifteen horses in parallel, Ding Si and Hu Runze walked on the streets of Quanzhou, saw a dazzling array of goods on both sides, only felt that Lin Zhengdao's praise for Quanzhou was not groundless, Quanzhou was indeed rich, under the eaves on both sides of the road, all kinds of goods were dazzling, and many things were rarely seen, such as ivory, precious spices and other items, the street was also full of traffic, extremely lively, In many corners, some jugglers, singers, and puppet shows attracted many pedestrians to stop and watch, and the crowd erupted into bursts of applause from time to time. Ding Si and Hu Runze walked for a long time before they came to a secluded alley, which has the meaning of quiet in the middle of noisy, and a large tree grows against the wall in the alley, and the leaves are so green that they seem to be able to pinch down the water, which makes it extra quiet here. Ding Si and the two walked to a house, and before they could get to the front of them, the two people who called over muttered: "Old man Gu went out to pick some wind again, I don't know if the kite he promised me to make can be made." The other man smiled and said, "Since he promised you, you must be indispensable, I haven't had a chance to tell him about it, and I don't know if he wants to make me one, if you are impatient, give me your one." ”
Ding Si heard the words of the two, he must have just come out of the Gu family's house, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Two, isn't Old Man Gu at home?" ”
Seeing someone asking, the two stopped talking, glanced at Ding Si, laughed and said, "You also came here to ask for kites, this trip was in vain, but it's normal to come three or four times." ”
Ding Si heard the two say this, and knew that Old Man Gu was not at home, so he had to turn around and go back with Hu Runze.
The next day, Ding Si and Hu Runze separately looked for a few errands on duty that night, and spent a day but found nothing, those people insisted that they had seen a phoenix, and some people swore to the sky that if they said a lie, they would blind themselves, and several people said it vividly, and when they heard the question whether it could be a kite, they firmly denied it, which made Ding Si and the two helpless. Ding Si and Hu Runze went to the Gu family's house a few times, but they didn't see Old Man Gu, and two or three days passed in a flash, and Wu Hai also got up early and was greedy for darkness in the past few days, going out early and returning late, and he was busy and didn't say anything to Ding Si.
At noon on another day, Ding Si and Hu Runze had just returned to the yamen from outside, and before they reached the yamen, Hu Runze pointed to the distance in surprise and said, "My lord, look-"
Ding Sishun looked at his hand, and saw that there were a few people tied to a rope over there, and those people were all wearing a crown of Jiaotai, wearing a green robe, a yellow silk silk around their waists, and cloud shoes on their feet, which was clearly a group of Taoist priests, and then looked at the side, Wu Hai looked proud, led a few guards from the capital, and regardless of the pointing and pointing of everyone on the side, he was driving this group of Taoist priests to the yamen, these Taoist priests looked embarrassed one by one, some frowned, some pouted, and some were still shouting: "Wronged." ”
When he arrived in front of Ding Si, Ding Si hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, I don't know ...... these Taoist priests?"
Wu Hai said to Ding Si with excitement on his face: "Heh, today is a coincidence, I went through the booklet last night and found out some strange Taoist priests who have only appeared recently, but I didn't expect to be arrested, and I haven't tried which of them is the head of the Han Yi Dao." After that, he leaned into Ding Si's ear and said: "I thought about it again, the emperor said that the demon Dao said that he was the reincarnation of Yu Ji, and that Yu Ji was from the Han Dynasty. ”
Ding Si was dumbfounded when he heard this, and suddenly felt that he couldn't communicate with Wu Hai, so he had to say to Wu Hai: "My lord is really vigorous and powerful. He pointed to the group of Taoist priests and said: "I see that this Taoist priest seems to be holding a trick, and the Taoist priest over there also seems to be doing the Dharma in secret, and the Taoist priests behind him have a fierce look in their eyes, and they all look like they have spells. ”
When Wu Hai heard him say this, he glanced at several Taoist priests suspiciously, and then said to Ding Si gratefully: "Ding Zhu, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed it, so I would have asked the guards to prepare black dog blood and break their spells." After finishing speaking, he urged the guards to take the Taoist priest into the yamen.
Ding Si had no choice but to follow Wu Hai into the yamen after a group of Taoist priests. When Wu Hai arrived at the yamen, he asked the guards to put the Taoist priest in the cell first, and then he wanted to discuss with Zhang Hansheng how to interrogate this group of Taoist priests. He inquired clearly, Zhang Hansheng was in the back hall at the moment "Shi Zhuxuan", so he pulled Ding Si together and rushed to find Zhang Hansheng. When he arrived at the door of "Shi Zhuxuan", Wu Hai was about to push the door in, Ding Si suddenly heard the voice of a woman talking inside, so he grabbed Wu Hai and signaled him not to go in first.
The two of them heard a delicate voice inside and said: "Master, you haven't been to me for the past few days, I heard them say that you have been busy with official business in the past few days, and you are worried about me." ”
Inside, Zhang Hansheng didn't know what to whisper, and the female voice inside shouted in a coquettish voice: "Master." Then he said: "Master, I heard a few days ago that the eldest lady was seriously ill, and as a result, when I went to visit, I was stopped and sick, I also pray to God and worship Buddha every day these days, and worry about the eldest lady, yesterday my brother who was not in tune came, and when he saw my sad face, he asked me what was wrong, he was a lazy person that day, and he finally took it seriously that day, saying that he knew a Taoist priest, who was called the cold and easy Taoist, and had always been a great supernatural power, but he invited to drive away the sick qi for the young lady. He added in a low voice: "Maybe Miss is hitting something that shouldn't be bumped, it's also possible." ”
Zhang Hansheng scolded her inside, as if he didn't agree with it. Unexpectedly, Wu Hai was refreshed when he heard this, and he no longer cared about the difference between men and women, pushed the door and walked in, and said loudly: "This is really a nowhere to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." Ding Si had no choice but to walk in with him.
When the two entered the door, they saw a charming beauty standing up in a panic, looking at Wu Hai and Ding Si making a shy and timid look. When Zhang Hansheng saw Wu Hai suddenly break in, he didn't lose his mind for a while, but hurriedly said, "I didn't know that Lord Wu was coming, but it was rude." On the other hand, he pointed to the woman next to him: "This is my third aunt, Tai Chang's, Chang's, hurriedly stepped forward to see Lord Wu." ”
Chang stepped forward to salute shyly and timidly, Wu Hai Zhengse said to Zhang Hansheng: "Lord Zhang, the case of the loss of the Great Seal that night, I already have eyebrows, if there is no accident, there should be a Taoist priest who wants to confuse the public in Quanzhou, the reason why I was sent to Quanzhou by the emperor is also because I got the news in advance, so I came here specially." At this moment, he held his head high, did not drag the mud and water at all, and had already fully revealed his intentions.
Zhang Hansheng's face was first happy, then worried, and the expression on his face was also wonderful, quite a little unable to cry or laugh.
Seeing Zhang Hansheng's expression, Wu Hai thought that he couldn't accept such a fact for a moment, nodded and said to Zhang Hansheng: "Lord Zhang, I will explain to you in detail later." Then he said eagerly to Chang's: "Chang's, you said that your brother found the Han Yi Dao Elder to catch the demon, hurry up and arrange it, and let him quickly take the Han Yi Dao Chang to catch the demon." ”
Chang glanced at Zhang Hansheng, Zhang Hansheng just wanted to stop it, Wu Hai preemptively said: "Lord Zhang, the emperor has expected that the demon Dao will steal your big seal, and the loss of the big seal that night must be done by the demon Dao, and I visited for a few days, Han Yi Lao Dao is haunted, I caught a few Taoist priests today, I was expecting to try my luck, but now think about it, how can this Taoist priest be so easy to be caught, let's quickly arrange Han Yi Lao Dao to go to the mansion, otherwise, if you lose the big seal, Quanzhou Mansion will not be peaceful." ”
When Zhang Hansheng heard him say this, he hesitated for a while, and in the end, he had no choice but to say to Chang's: "In this case, you can make your brother arrange it quickly, but you don't need to rush too hard, so as to save the Taoist priest from being suspicious." ”
Wu Hai added on the side: "If it is really that Taoist priest, your brother has made a great contribution." ”
When Chang heard Wu Hai say this, he couldn't help but be full of joy, and said with a smile: "My brother said, if we are in a hurry, we can arrange for him to enter the mansion tomorrow." ”
Zhang Hansheng was in a hurry to hear it, and he couldn't add words, so he had to watch Wu Hai's eyebrows flutter, and then heard him stroke his beard under his chin and say, "Tomorrow, I will meet that demon way." ”
