Chapter 174: Peak Loop Turn (2)
Liu Wenjing, who wanted to use Li Wenxuan is to relieve himself, understood that it was not enough for him to just play the so-called emotional card. In order to let him willingly take the initiative to do things for himself, Liu Wenjing offered a price to release Zhou Hu from prison. He felt that by offering such a price, first, he could check whether the righteousness in Li Wenxuan's mouth really existed; The second is that there is a reason to release Zhou Hu in a glamorous manner, after all, Zhang Guangping has already absconded in fear of crime.
Li Wenxuan, who hesitated a little, had no reason to refuse him again. At this time, if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, he would not only offend Liu Wenjing, but also affect Zhou Hu. He has been observing the weather, and he still has a certain number in his heart: "Okay." However, the time to pray for rain could never be set on September 9. As for the specific time, it is up to me to arrange it, otherwise the rain will not be prayed for. In addition, the location has to be chosen by me......"
As long as he agreed to pray for rain, Liu Wenjing agreed to his request and said: "Time, place, etc., it's easy to say." As long as the virtuous brother can personally come forward to replace Zhang Guangping to pray for rain, then it will be the blessing of my Guangxin Mansion. ”
Li Wenxuan, who is now doing so, doesn't fight with him, and says bluntly: "Zhang Guangping's run left me a mess." I'm going to clean up this mess, and I can't just rely on your government to change the notice to the people. I have to build momentum among my fellow villagers and gentry, or else you and I will have trouble. ”
"It's up to you what you want to do. However, the only thing that doesn't depend on you is the money. Liu Wenjing, who was deceived by Zhang Guangping of a large amount of silver, was not afraid that he would also come here, but that the county and the government really had no silver on the books to be withdrawn. He knew this, but he couldn't say it clearly.
"As for the money, I don't need your government to give me an extra penny." Li Wenxuan, who doesn't need to cast a high platform at all, make such or such sacrifices and props, as long as he predicts the time, there is a high probability of rainfall. He can't also say it clearly, and he can't reveal the hole cards he relies on to make a living, pretending to be mysterious.
Liu Wenjing thought to himself, as long as he didn't ask for money, then he could do whatever he liked. If things don't work out and there are any mistakes, then let Li Wenxuan carry the black pot and the thunder, and he can be said to be deceived, so as to shirk responsibility as much as possible. Feeling that this matter had finally been preliminarily settled, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Liu Wenjing, who was about to go home, felt a little more relaxed, and slowly stood up, so he might as well lower his noble head and please: "Don't disturb the virtuous brother Qingxiu, just wait for you to finalize the time to pray for rain as soon as possible, otherwise I'm really afraid I won't be able to withstand it for long." The net worth and life of my family are all in your hands. ”
As for whether his words were exaggerated, Li Wenxuan didn't have the heart to figure it out, but saw the most practical benefit, which was to finally get Zhou Hu out of the county prison. After so many twists and turns, and spending so much thought on himself, he finally saw that the trend of the whole thing was under his control.
Li Wenxuan, who was a little happy in his heart and did not relax his vigilance, knew very well that he was going to make a bet with God. If he wins, fame and fortune will undoubtedly be gained, and if he loses the bet, I am afraid that big and small troubles will follow.
"Brother, you can rest assured, I will choose the auspicious day of the zodiac to pray for rain as soon as possible. Before that, I have to do a few rituals to pay homage to the heavens. As long as I get a response from God, I can set a specific time. "Don't forget Li Wenxuan, who pretends to be a mystery, what he wants is this kind of unpredictable feeling.
"If that's the case, then I won't bother too much. Prepare as soon as possible! Liu Wenjing, who said goodbye to this, didn't understand the things in this door at all, and tried to be as calm as possible.
Li Wenxuan, who got up to see off the guests, kept sending him out of the house from the hall. I turned around and went back, and when I passed by the gatehouse, I asked the little guy who was watching here to find Zhao Han and Zhu Biao for me. The little guy who didn't dare to delay could be said to go to the head of the house to let him do something.
He didn't go back to the hall, so he chose to go back to the study. Li Wenxuan, who wanted to repair a book, had to tell Ye Erniang the news that he was presiding over praying for rain and Zhou Hu was released, after all, she also participated in this plan. Although she didn't know how the entire plan was run by herself, Ye Erniang, who had contributed a lot, was also one of the core figures.
Li Wenxuan, who learned about her in both public and private affairs, wrote a letter and asked people to call an ugly girl to send the letter. I know very well in my heart that although this girl is not very good-looking and has not been in the house for a long time, she has a strict mouth and is very loyal to him. Using her to do this, Li Wenxuan was very relieved. The relationship between himself and Ye Erniang is very pure from beginning to end, but it will inevitably cause some suspicion among his women, after all, this is also human nature, it is said that the deep interaction between men and women has no pure friendship, only all-round friction on the body.
Zhu Biao and Zhao Han, who received the news, came to the study as soon as possible. When they saw Li Wenxuan, they had already guessed that there was a task assigned to the two of them. As for what the task is, they don't know very well. The two of them, who didn't talk much, stood three steps away from the desk, waiting for the instructions of the head of the house.
Li Wenxuan, who didn't talk too much nonsense with them, said bluntly: "You can implement the things I arranged more than a month ago." There must be many of them, and their momentum must be strong. There can be no excesses in petitioning in front of the prefect's yamen, so you must suppress the very few restless people among them. ”
Zhao Han, who reacted first, seemed to have a feeling of being able to see the moon when the clouds were open. Knowing that the time was ripe, he said excitedly: "Little one, I wish my master in advance here to get what he wants." ”
Zhu Biao, who had a slower brain reaction, didn't understand for a while and said, "What are you talking about, why don't I understand?" ”
Li Wenxuan, who knew that his brain was not very flexible, didn't mind spending more time explaining and told him plainly: "If there is no accident, I will be the main priest of praying for rain." However, this matter is now in my hands, and it is no longer the same as before. In order to be able to continue cooking this sandwich rice, then you have to lead people to make a noise for me. Only when the external conditions are suitable, can I come out justifiably. ”
Zhu Biao, who seems to understand whether he understands or not, the only thing he understands is that the master wants to let him and Zhao Han do important things. He never asked whether what he wanted to do was righteous or evil, and he thought that the words of the head of the family represented the meaning of heaven, which was comparable to the emperor's decree.
"You all cheer me up, don't mess things up." Li Wenxuan, who knew that if he couldn't do this again, he had a hunch that it would be even more stinky than stinky tofu. He might as well give them a little bit of money, and understand: "In addition to the civilians led by you, I will also let the gentry led by Lin Zhengbei go again." I will only stand up and accept this errand of praying for rain when everyone expects it to return. Otherwise, I will become the object of some people's after-dinner chatter, rather than the legendary Taoist who prayed for rain and successfully saved people. What the lord wants is to be admired and worshiped by thousands of people, and the purpose is to make the large and small sects on Longhu Mountain afraid to come to the door to make trouble even if they are red-eyed and hot-eyed afterwards. ”
Zhao Han and Zhu Biao spoke in unison with a very tacit understanding, and replied with a full temperament: "Small, understand." ”
Facing outward, Li Wenxuan, who waved his hand, said casually: "Go!" The two arched towards him, turned and exited the study.
Li Wenxuan, who was on top of the circle chair, supported his chin with both hands, and his knees were placed on the table. He summed up back and forth in his heart, and he still couldn't help but calculate the gains and losses. Li Wenxuan, who was prepared for the worst, if he became a street rat, then he would lead his family to leave here and go to a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are outstanding, and no one knows him to start again.
It didn't take long for Su Meiniang, who led Dongxiang to come with snacks, into the study, came to him, and said curiously: "The slave family heard that Liu Wenjing came to visit you." ”
Li Wenxuan, who came back to his senses and didn't move to get snacks to eat, smiled and said, "It is said that you women have long tongues. However, it seems to me that you are not only like that, but you also have long ears. ”
Su Meiniang, who was leaning on the desk, understood that his character was joking, so she didn't get angry, and replied with a smile: "If the slave family has a long tongue, it will be guilty of seven outs." You have nothing to say about it, but it can be regarded as bad luck. However, this ear is long, and it is not among the seven. If you take this opportunity to give the slave family a leave, it will be my Chen Shimei of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Chen Shimei is divorced from his wife, and if I divorce you, I will only divorce your concubine. In the eyes of outsiders, I have a great kindness and give you the freedom and right to pursue a happy life. If I didn't sell you, you should have recited the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Li Wenxuan, who was smiling, continued to joke: "Hey, if one day I have no way to live, it is not a way to sell you." ”
Su Meiniang, who made a "hum" voice, moved the dim sum on the table from near him to a little farther away, and said angrily: "I knew that you had no conscience, and the slave family shouldn't have sent you snacks." I won't give you food, and the slave will take it away. ”
"Thank you, hurry up, lest I have a dry mouth when I see a snack." Following what she said about Li Wenxuan, she smiled even more happily.
