Liang Fang and the three of them stood in front of the Qianqing Palace for a while, feeling bored, and the corners of Wantong's mouth drooped and said: "As soon as I heard that the emperor is not feeling well today, I feel bad, the emperor's dragon body is sometimes good and sometimes bad, how can this happen?" "Wantong was appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard because of Concubine Wan, usually extremely high-flying, after the death of Concubine Wan, he had no backer, and he gradually couldn't suppress the two commanders under his command Huang Yunlong and Kang Yonghui, and now seeing that Emperor Chenghua's body is getting better and worse day by day, he can't help but feel more worried.

The corners of Liang Fang's mouth twitched twice and said: "Master Wan, don't worry, I asked Doctor Ma yesterday, saying that the emperor has been worried too much these days, so his spirit is a little trance, and after this period of time, his body will get better." ”

Wantong couldn't help but slap his hands and said, "Great, I'm afraid that the emperor will be too sad and make his body uncomfortable." ”

Wei Xing looked at the two of them turning their worries into peace, and couldn't help but say: "Recently, Liu Jian, Wang Shu and others in the court have been impeaching us and turning over the old accounts in the past. ”

After hearing this, Wantong said indignantly: "These old guys, relying on their old qualifications, pick bones in eggs one by one, if my sister is alive, I will definitely punish them for the nine clans." ”

Liang Fang hurriedly stopped the call and said, "Be careful that the wall has ears." He looked around and said: "Our top priority is to help the emperor recover his body, I have visited the elixir all over now, you should also pay more attention to it, see what elixir there are, or the holy hand of Xinglin, let's find them one by one, now the emperor is in full bloom, and when the emperor is well, those old things dare not mess around." ”

The three of them hurriedly discussed, and each of them hurriedly dispersed. About half an hour later, an inconspicuous carriage quietly left the palace, and after a few circles, it stopped in front of the chessboard street, and after the carriage stopped, a person came down from above, this person was wearing a scarf, wearing a long shirt, dressed very ordinary, and looked closely, but it was Gonggong Cao who had just met with Duan Qinglian a few days ago. Gonggong Cao still didn't smile, his expression was gloomy, and he walked into the bustling crowd in a few steps. This Qipan Street is one of the few lively places in Beijing, and its market is as famous as the Chenghuang Temple Market, the Lamp Market, the Inner Market and the Chongwenmen Market. Gonggong Cao walked with the crowd for a while, walking and stopping, as if looking for something, and suddenly stopped next to several women, who were chatting happily, only to hear the fat woman in one body pulling her throat and saying: "I heard that Master Honglianrong is preaching and casting spells in Luoquan Hutong today, and there is also a rune to send each other, do you want to go and see?" One of the women in a blue cloth coat said: "According to my neighbor Zhang's sister-in-law, the runic water is quite effective, and her family's luck is not good. An elderly woman next to her said happily: "It's not more effective than Zhang Banxian's hexagram, Zhang Banxian also charges ten cents for a hexagram, I heard that this Master Rong doesn't charge money, take a look." The more the women talked, the more excited they became, and they walked together in the alley. Gonggong Cao thought to himself: I was just about to see how Duan Qinglian was doing, this was really effortless, I don't know who this Master Rong is talking about? Thinking to himself, his footsteps followed the women and followed them towards the front.

After walking for a while, I left the lively place of the chessboard street market, and there were not as many people as just now, but there were still people walking together in twos and threes, and when they arrived at a small alley, they actually gathered into twenty or thirty people, and the narrow alley was blocked all at once, and they walked a hundred and ten steps, and suddenly heard a shout and clapping in front of them, and someone in the crowd couldn't help but say: "Master Rong is preaching." So the men took a greater step and ran forward. From a distance in the crowd, Gonggong Cao saw a circle of many people in a clearing in front of him, these people were men and women, most of them were dressed ordinary, and they were all ordinary people. Gonggong Cao made a clever move, squeezed through the crowd, and walked to the front in a few steps, and saw a fat middle-aged man surrounded by a circle with a smile on his face, talking eloquently. I only heard his voice crisp and kind, although he faced so many people, everyone felt as if they were whispering in their own ears. Gonggong Cao thought to himself, this person is the Red Lotus Rong Master that everyone is talking about, so he will concentrate on listening to what that person is talking about.

Master Rong looked calm, not impatient and said: "Since ancient times, there is a certain number of drinks and pecks, and many people complain about God's injustice, but in fact, they are stupid and complaining. Some time ago, there was an accident in Xiaohuzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing, I don't know if you have heard that there are two neighbors in the village, both encountered the strange thing of the hen crowing at home, one ignored it, and the other hurriedly found someone to divination, and calculated the unfavorable hexagram of the family on the tenth day of the first month of March, so I avoided it early that day, and you know what happened that day? ”

The group of people below listened extremely carefully, and some people couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Master Rong saw that everyone was in a hurry, so he smiled and said, "As a result, that day, a horse broke off the reins and rushed open the door, and the house that avoided it escaped by luck, and the house that did not avoid it was kicked and injured two people. ”

Everyone listened to the praise below, and a middle-aged man also said loudly: "I know about this, the injured family is still a relative of the aunt's family in our cloth shop." ”

Everyone was embarrassed when they heard it, Master Rong saw it in his eyes, smiled again, lowered his voice by three points, and said very mysteriously: "Do you know that Wencheng Gong Liu Ji once passed down a "Song of Baked Cakes"? ”

The people in front of him could barely hear this sentence clearly, and the people in the back heard it vaguely, and they couldn't help but ask the people in front: "What did Master Rong say?" The person in front of him also said mysteriously, so Master Rong's words quickly spread throughout the crowd, and people could remember them louder than he said. Seeing that everyone was holding their breath and waiting for him to continue, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "It is said that the grandfather ate the baked cakes in the inner hall, and the inner servant suddenly reported that Liu Ji and Liu Bowen of Wencheng Gong asked to see him, and the grandfather covered the baked cakes with a bowl. When Wen Chenggong met Taizu, Taizu had the heart to tease Wen Chenggong and let Wen Chenggong calculate what was in the bowl? Wen Chenggong pinched his fingers and said, "Half like the sun and half like the moon, I was bitten by the golden dragon. Grandpa Tai was shocked, and quickly put away his teasing heart and asked Wen Chenggong about the world. After the grandfather complied, Wen Chenggong first said: "The minister saw that although the capital was consolidated and well defended, he seemed to feel safe, but he was afraid that the swallows would fly." Then he sang three more songs, all about the great things to come. Speaking of this, I saw Master Rong's body swaying slightly, as if he was standing unsteadily, and after shaking a few times, he stood still and said, "Strange thing, why am I dizzy for a while." After thinking about it carefully, he said loudly: "Everyone, let it rise at a certain time, but forget that this is a heavenly opportunity, and I didn't get the gold medal to avoid death, so I didn't dare to publish this "Song of Baked Cakes" written by Wen Chenggong. Then he looked around and said, "Give the water, give the water, drink the water today, and those who are sick will go to the sick, and those who have disasters will go to the disaster." A few people next to him hurriedly brought a clay pot, and everyone scrambled to get the bowl to catch the water.

Standing in the crowd, Gonggong Cao couldn't help but bow his head, thinking: This Master Rong is really eloquent, and he has raised everyone's appetite, but he is more concerned about this matter. Looking at the people around again, those who grabbed the bowl went to pick up the water, and a few people were talking in low voices, and they vaguely heard words like "swallow" and "swallow king". Gonggong Cao's cold face couldn't help but smile a little, and said secretly: This Qinglian is really capable, and she is quite neat, but I don't know when the master will have an accident, but I have to release the news some time in advance, but according to the master's explanation today, it will not be more than one month at most.

An hour later, Gonggong Cao returned to the palace, looked around at no one, walked into an inconspicuous small house, and heard someone inside ask: "Duan Qinglian is reliable?" ”

Gonggong Cao's voice sounded: "It's a bit of a skill, the news of "Baked Cake Song" has come out. ”
