Chapter 571: A Dead End?

On Chang'an Street, there is a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi guarding the door all the year round, the incense in the courtyard is swirling, the bell chime is ringing, and it is a solemn Taoist scene.

But today, the confidence on the faces of the Taoist priests is gone, replaced by a panic, the incense in the courtyard has also been extinguished, and the sound of the bell chime has stopped, as if they are experiencing a catastrophe.

Lan Daoxing, who has never been raunchy, took a bath, shaved his face, wore an apricot yellow gossip purple silk robe that symbolized the position of the heavenly master, sat cross-legged on the wind and fire futon in the main hall, and said to the disciples and disciples who knelt on the ground: "It has always been a big tree that falls, and the monkeys scatter, and now my tree is also going to fall, you monkeys should run for your life." "That Dragon and Tiger Pill was refined by the Quanzhen Sect, and the Quanzhen Sect was strongly recommended by him to the emperor, and now the Quanzhen Sect has been copied because of Lu Bing's death, and he, the initiator, naturally can't escape.

Lan Daoxing knew very well that this time the emperor couldn't spare himself, Lu Bingzhi's death was secondary, the key was that this medicine was refined for the emperor, and he almost poisoned Jiajing to death...... To put it more seriously, it is the crime of killing the king, how can you still have your own way of life?

The big and small Taoist priests who knelt on the ground whimpered and cried: "Grandpa, we can't live without you!" ”

Lan Daoxing waved his hand impatiently and said: "If you want to be unlucky with me, stay here, if you still want to have a future in the future, get out of here." ”

The disciples and grandchildren wept loudly, and they couldn't tell the difference between real crying and fake crying, anyway, they howled there, and they were all like the real thing. But after a while, I heard someone wipe away tears and say, "Grandpa, what should we do then, who should we go to?" ”

Lan Daoxing didn't complain that their minds were so flexible, but scratched his head: "Go find the people from Longhu Mountain, they have been against me so much over the years, this time it will definitely be fine." He shouted and said, "Get out of here, it's too late, and let the family serve it in one pot!" ”

At this point, the disciples and grandchildren twitched for a while, and they didn't know who took the lead, kowtowed to him three times, and hurriedly ran out while getting up. Under the demonstration of the pioneers, the big and small bullnoses followed suit, kowtowed hastily, and said: 'Take care! He picked up the baggage he had prepared earlier, and rushed out of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and even stole the gold, silver, jade, and wooden fish futons in the hall, which made people feel extremely chilled.

Lan Daoxing looked at this ugly scene coldly, but turned a blind eye and said nothing. I saw that there were fewer and fewer people in the main hall, and within a quarter of an hour, only seven or eight Taoist priests were still there, without the slightest intention of leaving. Seeing that these people were old faces, they had followed him for at least three years, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, the clothes are not as good as the newcomers." It turns out that I am Lao Lan, and my personality is not too bad, but you are willing to accompany you to the end. Saying that, he waved his sleeves and said, "You have your heart and mind, but there is really no need for this, let's go quickly." ”

The Taoist priests looked at each other, and one of them seemed to be the leader and said, "Heavenly Master, you have misunderstood, we were ordered to watch you old, in case you sneaked away." ”

"Are you the fans of Dongchang?" Lan Daoxing's face changed and said, "It's been lurking in my mansion for five years, right?" He couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and said in his heart that it seems that the legend is true, and the spy of my dynasty is really terrible!

"That's not it, we're from Longhu Mountain." Those Taoist priests shook their heads embarrassedly and said, "On the orders of the master, I took refuge in your old sect." At this time, they naturally said honestly: "Now that you have been in a catastrophe, our head of the sect said that if we let you go, our Heavenly Master Dao will have to carry the black pot for you......"

"Needless to say," Lan Daoxing saw a line of men wearing pointed hats and white leather boots at the door of the store, shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "I can't run anymore." ”

When those Taoist priests heard this, they looked back and saw that the people from Dongchang were coming, so they hurriedly rushed up, pressed Lan Daoxing tightly under them, and shouted: "Catch Lan Dao, catch Lan Dao!" ”

Those fans came up and surrounded the Taoist priests who looked like arhats in the middle, and then invited the factory to come over.

Chen Hong appeared in front of the Taoist priests and said in a slurp: "Oh, what is this for?" Where did you hide your Celestial Master? ”

The Taoist priests hurriedly invited merit and said: "We pressed him under us, for fear that he would cast a spell and run away." ”

"Run? Where to run? Chen Hong sneered: "You let him go and let the miscellaneous family see how he can run." ”

Only then did the Taoist priests get up one by one, and when the last one got up, they saw the blue sky master who had been crumpled.

"Tsk...... Who's this? Chen Hong shook his head and said with a disdainful expression: "Isn't this the famous Blue Sky Master?" Said strangely: "Aren't you always able to pinch and count as being able to pass through ghosts and gods, and know yin and yang?" Why didn't you think you would be where you are today? As soon as this remark came out, those fans burst into laughter and echoed one after another: "That's it, how can you count yourself as self-possessed if you have the ability?" ”

Lan Daoxing laughed and said: "I can calculate for everyone, but I can't calculate for myself, don't you understand such a simple truth?" ”

"Why?" The fans don't know why.

"Stupid." Chen Hong felt faceless and said, "Because he's playing with you!" ”

"Nonsense, how could I fool you?" Lan Daoxing laughed and said, "I don't believe it, you lick your elbows, can't you lick them?" ”

Hearing his words, the fans did so one after another, stretched out their tongues to lick their elbows, and sure enough, they couldn't lick it, and they couldn't help nodding and said, "I really can't lick it." ”

"Try to lick other people's again, and you will definitely be able to lick it this time." Lan Dao walks and goes.

The fans did as he said, licking other people's elbows, and one of them licked Chen Hong's elbows, and they licked it smoothly, and couldn't help but be surprised: "He's right, you can really lick it...... Hey...... "Before he finished speaking, he was elbowed hard by Chen Hong, his face blossomed, and he squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

Seeing his subordinates being played like this, Chen Hong was so angry that he scolded: "A group of fools! He glared at Lan Daoxing fiercely: "I give an edict to arrest the demon Dao Lan Daoxing!" He showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Go back and see how I entertain you!" He waved his hand fiercely and said, "Take it away!" ”

The fans lifted Lan Daoxing up, tied him up, and sent him to prison.

The news of Lan Daoxing's arrest was tantamount to a thunderbolt that shook the sky, exploding in the sky over the capital, everyone changed color when they landed, several families were happy and a few were sad...... and the arrogant laughter of "hahahaha......ha" sounded in the sky above the Yan family's courtyard, Yan Shifan celebrated unwillingly, and slammed the table with joy. Hu Zhi and the others on the side also laughed heartily, it is estimated that they have never laughed so hard since the day they were born.

"Lu Bing is dead, Lan Daoxing has been arrested!" Hu Zhi wiped his tears and smiled: "This is really another daughter-in-law, and another New Year!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Wan Cai, He Bin and others, who had not appeared for a long time, also returned to Yan Shifan's side at this moment and said: "Donglou Gong is really a rich and noble person, and even God helps us, now Xu Dang can be said to be dead!" ”

Yan Shifan leaned on Mei Ji's towering and soft arms, and said triumphantly: "This is called heaven doing evil, you can still live, you can do it yourself, you can't live!" Who let Xu Jie'er string up the Taoist and frame me? Saying that, he slapped Na Meiji's soft thighs fiercely, and said with a smile: "Dare to calculate my ancestor who plays conspiracy, it's really an old birthday star who eats arsenic and lives impatiently!" ”

He had a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, and he had long known that he had suddenly fallen out of favor, and the turning point was the support activity organized by Lan Daoxing - Lan Daoxing, in the name of the gods, announced that their father and son were annihilators, and asked Emperor Jiajing to eliminate these two, which had an absolutely huge and bad impact on the old superstitious Jiajing.

Although the emperor did not move their father and son for a while, in the following series of times, there has been an obvious tendency, more and more protective of the Xu Party, but the attitude towards the strict Party has become more and more severe, which can be seen from Feng Tianyu as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Shen Mo was safe and sound in the violent impeachment, but was given a holiday by the emperor.

If this situation cannot be changed, there will be only a more tragic future for them, without the most tragic future.

But God bless the strict party, Lan Daoxing actually had an accident at this time! Yan Shifan's one-eyed eye immediately realized that the opportunity for a big comeback had arrived! Why doesn't Jiajing like their father and son? It's because the gods don't like it, not Lan Daoxing! So as long as Lan Daoxing confessed, the words written on the sand table that day were all written by himself, and they were not the meaning of the Zigu God at all, wouldn't the problem be solved?

In normal times, people are hot blue immortals, Yan Shifan naturally didn't dare to touch him, but now Lu Bing was indirectly killed by him, and the emperor was grief-stricken, and threw him into the Dongchang prison, which was like a sheep into the wolf's den, at the mercy of him Yan Donglou!

Of course, if you can pull Xu Jie up by the way, and let Lan Daoxing confess, all this is Xu Jie's troublemaker behind his back, then he Xu Jie can't eat and walk around, dead and dead!

Yan Shifan was so excited, he realized that this Lan Daoxing was definitely a big treasure, as long as he recruited someone, he could immediately arrest him into the East Factory, and then torture him, and he didn't want to say anything? Use this method to build a big prison, kill all those hated Xu Party backbones, and see who dares to go against Lao Tzu!

At that time, everything will return to the starting point, and even Emperor Jiajing will have no choice but to acquiesce to this situation...... Yan Shifan was full of excitement, and suddenly felt a burst of heat, and said with a smile: "The princess is gone, and the prince is going to have fun." So saying, he picked up the beautiful and went to the backyard.

The people had long been unimpressed by his extravagance, and after sitting for a while, they went back to their respective homes.

The east side said that the west side rained. Yan Shifan smiled happily over there, but Xu Jie's frown here, and said to Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting at the bottom: "Taiyue, this level is too dangerous, if you don't get it as a teacher, you will be killed!" ”

"Not really, right?" Zhang Juzheng said softly: "Teacher, you are the second assistant of the cabinet, if something happens, you will not be implicated." ”

"It's something else." Xu Jie shook his head and said, "But only in dealing with Yan Ge Lao, no matter who did it, the emperor will be the first to doubt me." If Lan Daoxing was beaten into a trick and said that I instructed him to do it, it would be bad. When the time comes, the thunder will be angry, and he may not know how he will drop himself, Xu Jie couldn't help but pull his beard in distress and said: "Alas, who can survive the torture of Dongchang?" What a good thing that is! He even remembered his mentor Xia Yan, the old man's relationship with Jiajing was much more iron than his own, didn't he say that he would abandon the city if he abandoned the city?

Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and said softly: "Why don't I go and ask Humble Yan?" ”

Xu Jie's old face flushed and said, "It's not proper, it's not proper." "Although he is old and cunning, he still wants to be faceful after all, and he just put someone together, how embarrassed to turn around and ask him for help.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "The student has some words, but he has long wanted to tell the teacher. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Xu Jie's head said, people are very modest and humble at this time.

"After all, Shen Mo is your student, and he has made a lot of contributions before and after the saddle." Zhang Juzheng said: "Reasonable, you should protect him and promote him, instead of trying to suppress him secretly." Everyone's eyes are bright, how can you not be cold when you see that you are still like this to your students? ”

"Really?" Xu Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself: "Silly boy, isn't it also for you?" But at this moment, he had no interest in arguing, nodded and said, "It seems that before, I did treat him a little. He smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you, and be better for him in the future." ”

"The teacher is humble and kind, but the student is abrupt." Zhang Juzheng hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's not okay to compensate the teacher." ”

"It's okay." Xu Jie shook his head and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it, the old man is not a person who can't listen to opinions." ”

"Yes." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "As I said, silence is your student, once you have three strengths and two weaknesses, he will inevitably be affected, so at this time, you must be in the same boat and work together to tide over the difficulties, I think I understand this truth." ”

Xu Jie bowed slightly when he heard this: "You are right...... It's just that I'm afraid that he won't have a good way this time. He waved his hand and said, "Well, you can go and see him, and the right to treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Juzheng was overjoyed when he heard this.

Leaving Xu's Mansion, Zhang Juzheng hurried to Qipan Hutong non-stop and saw the haggard silence.

"Brother Humble Yan, why are you like this?" Zhang Juzheng almost couldn't recognize Shen Mo.

"Alas, grief, I can't sleep at night, I don't think about tea and dinner." Shen Mo smiled bitterly and said, "You said that you are a good person, how can you say that you will leave?" ”

"Brother Humble Yan, you want to mourn......" Zhang Juzheng hurriedly persuaded him.

"It's okay." Shen Mo ordered someone to watch the tea, sat next to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Brother Taiyue, is the old man okay over there?" ”

Hearing him ask like this, Zhang Juzheng was deeply grateful, after being pitted by Xu Jie, Shen Mo didn't hold any grudges, and the first sentence he said was to ask Xu Jie's condition, without the slightest hint of gloating, he was indeed a kind person.

Silently asked again, Zhang Juzheng came back to his senses and said: "The situation of the elder pavilion is very bad, I am so worried that I don't know how to pass this level." ”

Shen Mo sighed and said: "It's really sad......" said and slowly closed his eyes and said: "Dongchang, it's a blank for us, we didn't expect its rise at all, and we missed the opportunity to pre-arrange, and now it's too difficult to cram temporarily." ”

"I know it's difficult, if it's not difficult, I won't look for Brother Yan!" Zhang Juzheng said urgently: "I believe you must have a way." ”

"You're more confident than I am." A wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he put his legs on the chair, rested his chin on his knees, and said, "I have a book here, which was given to me by the brothers of Jinyiwei, and they said that they should keep it for me to remember, and wait for the future to restore their innocence." As he spoke, he took out the book from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Juzheng: "Take a look." ”

Zhang Juzheng took it, took a quick look, and couldn't help but say in horror: "There is something suspicious here!" If you follow the investigation, it will involve the palace. ”

Shen Mo nodded, stretched out his thumb and said, "What a poisonous vision, it's true." Said with a smile: "A scholar like you and me can still see at a glance, how can an old criminal name like Zhu Jiu not be like a fire?" It's hard for them to say so tactfully, and hand over such a terrible thing to me at this juncture, the intention couldn't be more obvious, isn't it just to borrow my mouth to avenge the emperor! ”

"Brother Humble Yan, if we get this done to the end, what are the odds?" Zhang Juzheng asked.

"Let me tell you the truth, Brother Taiyue, in my opinion, the current situation, seven points are in the person, and three points are in ourselves, that is, we can do the best we can, if that person can't stand it, everything will be in vain."

"You mean, Lan Daoxing?" Zhang Juzheng asked softly.

Shen Mo nodded, and the pain on his face flashed and said, "Yes, the key is to Lan Daoxing, see if he can stand it." When he said this, his hands clenched in his sleeves so tightly that his palms were about to be pierced by his fingernails......
