The four eagle guards walked around the crowd, and no one noticed them.

On Xintan Lake behind the Red Dust Inn, there are several boats swinging, but they are all on the edge, and few boats go deep into Xintan Lake.

There was a boat parked near the exit of the Xintan River, and on the bow of this boat, Lu Hao stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes solemn, looking at the direction of Hongchen Inn from afar.

Pondering......

Cui Zhizhou and the state government officials welcomed She Yi into the city in such a high-profile manner, which surprised him. I didn't expect that this young man's prestige in Luoyang City would reach such a level, and he would have such a great influence in Luoyang City, and the officials of the state government would be so afraid of him......

Half a pillar of incense had passed, and he was still standing there motionless. pondering this profound question......

At this moment, on the shore, four people came over, and these four people were the four eagle guards. The four eagle guards waved in this direction, and the boatman sitting on the other side of the boat stood up after seeing the waving eagle guard.

"The hosts. Elders, they're coming. ”

The boatman whispered.

This boatman is the person sent by Lu Hao to be installed in Luoyang City a few days ago.

"Sail the boat over!"

Lu Hao didn't look back and said lightly.

"Yes, master."

The boatman nodded, turned to the other side of the boat, and took control of the boat towards the shore. Soon, the ship came to shore, and the four eagle guards got on board.

The boatman rowed slowly off the shore towards the center of the lake.

On the ship, the four eagle guards stood behind Lu Hao and reported the news about the Hongchen Inn to Lu Hao, although Lu Hao still did not look back, but listened very carefully.

"Are you sure, sir?"

One of the eagleguards asked.

"It's hard to say, the matter of fishing, the attention is to the right time and place, the bait is put down, the fish is not hooked, it is the matter of the fish. But this time, we have the right time and the right location...... The last one left is a human being......"

Lu Hao said calmly.

"Your Excellency is too far-reaching. Do adults think this fish will take the bait? ”

"It's hard to say. Gluttony will take the bait. ”

……

Red Dust Inn.

In the Hongchen Inn, banquets were placed everywhere, and people came and went in the entire compound. Several of She Yi's shopkeepers and An Yixue's thin monkey greeted the guests invited to the banquet.

These guests include the major laughing officials of the state capital, the squires and businessmen outside the city, the gentlemen of the academy, and the great Confucian who lives in seclusion......

These people were all sent in the morning and came at noon. Basically, if you are invited, nine times out of ten. didn't come, and he really had no time to clone himself, so he asked his subordinates to send congratulatory gifts.

In the backyard of the Red Dust Inn, there is a separate small building, which is where She Yi usually rests. On the second floor of the small building, the window was open, and She Yi and her sister She Yu stood at the window, talking.

"Brother, you're amazing. I am afraid that the emperor does not have such majesty when he goes out on tour. ”

She Yu said with a smile.

She Yi: "Hehe, if the emperor goes on patrol, he can be more majestic than this." Girl, have fun today? ”

She Yu: "Well, happy. ”

She Yi: "There are even happier ones in the afternoon and evening. ”

"Well, brother...... Are you sure? ”

She Yu was suddenly silent and spoke in a half-loud voice.

"It's hard to say, some baits can catch big fish, and some bait can only catch aquatic weeds. Bait is one thing, fishing waters is the other, and third, how smart the fish is. This third point is also the most important. ”

She Yi explained.

"Well, the pit man still has so much to learn. Brother, I still remember the poem you wrote. The gentleman asked for your word, and you gave him the shore like green. ”

She Yu had a smile on her face.

Thinking back to the life of their brother and sister in the backyard of Shefu in Suide City at that time, her heart was very happy, very happy.

Those few months of life are the most memorable days in her life.

Especially when she sat on a stool under the peach tree, her brother stood next to her and told her the picture of the Dream of Red Mansions......

It's a pity that she still doesn't know the ending of Daiyu and Baoyu, is it a tragedy or a comedy? Was Dream of Red Mansions made up by my brother? It would be nice if his brother made it up, if he told a happy ending, the ending of Baoyu and Daiyu would be a happy reunion, if he wanted to tell a tragedy, the ending would be a tragedy......

"Brother, I want to ask you something."

"Well, say."

"Did you write Dream of Red Mansions?"

"No, it was written by an old man named Cao Xueqin."

She Yi told the truth.

"Oh, what about the story of the fish beauty? I'd like to hear it again. ”

She Yu thought for a moment and then asked.

"It's not ...... The fish beauty is a fairy tale, for children. Now that you don't even listen to Ruoruo, do you still want to listen? ”

"Why don't you listen?"

When She Yu heard She Yi mention Ruoruo, she was not angry, but a little curious. I wonder why this little girl can get so much love from her brother.

"That little girl now just listens to the beginning of the story I tell, and she can quickly guess the end. So, after that, they didn't listen to my story. ”

She Yi smiled.

"Brother, do you think this little girl is a little weird?"

She Yu's brow furrowed.

"There is ......"

She Yi said affirmatively.

"What's so weird?"

She Yu's eyes widened.

She Yi: "Precocious. The older kid is thinking about having a round room with me......"

She Yu: "......"

……

Cai Mansion, main hall.

Cai Bian and a white-bearded old monk had a very happy conversation, and I have to say that Cai Bian's identity as a great Confucian in science did not come out of thin air, and his understanding of science has reached a very high level.

This white-bearded old monk is the foreign aid Xuan Ming that Cai Bian invited from the White Horse Temple.

Xuan Ming is the only monk in the White Horse Temple today, although he is a Xuanzi generation, his age attainments are much higher than those of other Xuankong Xuanzi generations. The main problem of age is that at the age of forty he changed careers and became a monk.

Before he became a monk, he was a Maoshan Taoist priest, and he was quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and then for some reason, he worshiped the previous abbot of the White Horse Temple as a teacher, and changed to Buddhism, with the law name Xuanming.

Since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism are not separated, and after Xuan Ming entered the White Horse Temple, his Buddhist attainments soon surpassed his peers and became the Taoist monk of the White Horse Temple. Because he was a Taoist priest before, some Taoist means of Taoism. When dealing with things like the supernatural, he is far more powerful than other high monks. So, he had a corresponding reputation.

"Your forehead, sir?"

Xuan Ming and Cai Bian have been talking for a while, and when they first saw the bag on Cai Bian's forehead, they were embarrassed to speak. After talking for a while, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Cai Bian's forehead, thinking that when Cai Bian came to the White Horse Temple in the morning, he hadn't yet, why did he have a swollen bag now? Looking at it, the more I felt that there was something wrong with this swollen bag, and finally I couldn't help but ask.

"Well, when I came back from White Horse Temple, I accidentally bumped into an old tree. So...... Alas, old. ”

The corners of Cai Bian's mouth twitched, his palm was clenched tightly, and then he slowly let go, pretending to be very calm.

"That's fine...... That's it...... The poor monk had a false alarm. ”

Xuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

"Master, what do you mean by that?"

Cai Bian's face changed suddenly.

"My lord, I can't hide it, this swollen bag on your forehead is a bad omen, if you touch it, it's okay, it's just a temporary small stumble, if someone else smashes it, it's a bloody disaster."

Xuan Ming said solemnly,

"What?"

Cai Bian stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but he stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of the table so that he didn't fall. But with this shake, the teacup on the table slammed to the ground.

"Master, I ......"

Cai Bian, who had stabilized his body, knelt on the ground with a groan, this kneeling, neither crooked nor biased, just knelt on the broken porcelain.

"Ah......h

Cai Bian's miserable voice resounded in the lobby.

The two guards outside the door turned into a streamer and rushed in.

"Adult ......"

"Your Excellency!"

Xuan Ming stretched out his hand to help Cai Bian, and the two guards who came in at the door also hurriedly went to help Cai Bian.

……

A moment later.

Cai Bian sat on a chair with two straps tied to his knees, and a doctor put away the medical box and hugged his fists to say goodbye to Cai Bian. A subordinate gave the doctor a consultation fee, and after a few false excuses, the doctor put it in his arms and walked out of the lobby. The man followed him out of the lobby.

In the lobby, there were only Cai Bian and Xuan Ming left.

Cai Bian opened the Xuanming, his expression was complicated, and he couldn't cry or laugh. muttered in his heart that what Xuan Ming said was true, and as soon as he said the disaster of blood light, he responded...... He's really a bloody disaster.

Xuan Ming looked at Cai Bian, his brows furrowed, and he had a solemn expression. It seems that there is something more to say.

"Master, you are really a god."

Cai Bian smiled stiffly and said.

"My lord, the bloody disaster that the poor monk said is not this bloody disaster."

Xuan Ming's frowning brows spread, turned his head to look outside the door, and said slowly.

"Ah......h

Cai Bian's legs were weak, and he almost got off the chair and knelt on the ground again.

"Master...... Isn't it ...... to talk about the Bloody Light Disaster? ”

Cai Bian's heart was trembling, and the Bloody Light Disaster usually refers to the surname life......

"Not bad...... That's exactly what you said, my lord. ”

Xuan Ming said calmly.

"Ah...... Guru...... You...... You need to save me! ”

Cai Bian's hands trembled, and he looked at Xuan Ming with pleading eyes.

"My lord, the bell must be tied to the bell."

Xuan Ming stood up and walked towards the door.

Cai Bian's face changed, he stood up regardless of the pain in his legs, took a few steps up, grabbed Xuan Ming's arm, and knelt on the ground with a groan.

"Master, for the sake of my Cai family's friendship with the White Horse Temple for so many years, save my life."

Cai Bian tugged at Xuan Ming's sleeve with both hands.

"My lord, what is this doing, I can't help it, please get up quickly......"

Xuan Ming hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Cai Bian up.

"Master, you must have a way to save me, please save my life."

Cai Bian was in tears.

"Your Excellency, please get up, since the poor monk is here, he will naturally do his best to help you survive this catastrophe."

"The master said that he was kind now, and Cai said that he would repay him with a spring."

Cai Bian stood up with Xuan Ming's support.

(Xuan Jing thought in his heart - the poor monk saved your surname, and you only thought it was the grace of dripping water...... ）

"My lord, please take the poor monk to the courtyard for a walk."

"Okay."

Cai Bian hurriedly called a henchman to escort him in, supported him, and walked out of the door of the main hall.

"My lord, this Cai Mansion has a front yard and a back yard......"

Cai Bian took Xuan Ming around the front yard and walked to the backyard. As he walked, he introduced Cai's house.

"My lord, would you tell the poor monk about what happened recently......

Xuan Ming said.

"Good...... Cai, this will give you a detailed explanation for the master. ”

Cai Bian began to talk about recent events.

He started talking about it when he came to Luoyang City, and when he talked about the potato poisoning incident at the Hongchen Inn, he hid the plot of the Dragon Gang coercing Li Guangsheng to go to the Hongchen Inn (Cai Bian thought in his heart that this thing was done by the Dragon Gang, regardless of his business).

Xuan Ming seemed to hear Ni Duan, but he didn't ask.

Cai Bian took Xuan Ming around the entire courtyard and returned to the lobby. At this time, I have probably finished telling the recent events.

"Master, what do you think? Is there a way to crack it? ”

Cai Bian asked cautiously.

Xuan Ming sighed, a little helpless. Today's people of the Cai family, Cai Jing, Cai Bian, and Cai You are all powerful and powerful ministers, rich and noble people, this is how much merit accumulated by the ancestors of the Cai family in exchange for today's glory.

However, this Cai Jing, Cai Bian, and Cai are confused, and in recent years, they have done many unrighteous things, and the evil things have almost been done. The Cai family's hundreds of years of qi were ruined in their generation, which is really a tragic thing.

"My lord, the way to solve it is still to untie the bell and tie the bell. The fruit of today is the cause of yesterday. Your Excellency, you are also a great Confucian in science today, and you should understand that the way of heaven cannot be violated......"

Xuan Ming shook his head and said regretfully.

"Master, Cai naturally knows that the way of heaven cannot be violated, but the red lady and mother and son ruined my Great Song Sheji, Cai really can't bear to be harmed by these demons and ghosts in my Great Song Dynasty, Cai knows that in order to get rid of that thief, he has used some small means that cannot be seen. This is just a trick in the officialdom, and it has not harmed the common people. ”

"A leaf is obscured and Taishan is blocked. The adults only saw the evil of Lord Jia Shi, but did not see his goodness. Not to mention anything else for the time being, now that Lord Jia Shi has scattered all his money, can you do it? ”

Although the White Horse Temple had a festival with She Yi, Xuan Ming himself had no prejudice against She Yi.

"This ......"

Cai Bian was speechless.

Today, he witnessed with his own eyes that so much silver was thrown out like sand and gravel in She Yi's hands......

plus a few boxes of red envelopes at the Red Dust Inn, it is far more than a thousand gold.

He asked himself if he couldn't do it. In today's imperial court, there are few officials who can do it. Ten years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver is not covered.

"Master, no matter what. Things have reached such a point that even if Cai wants to retreat, there is no way back. That thief couldn't let Cai go. As long as the thief is removed, Cai will be dedicated to goodness, even if he retreats incognito. ”

Cai Bian did not give up.

"Okay. The poor monk did everything he could...... It's time to start, it's already begun. ”

……

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

A round of red light gradually sank westward, and the Hongchen Inn was still very lively, and those guests who ate and drank and saluted gathered on the wide field near Xintan Lake outside the Hongchen Inn near Xintan Lake. (To be continued.) )
