84 Poor Zhang, hateful Zhangfutai

Unexpectedly, the little Taoist priest said lightly: "Oh, may I ask what Lord Futai thinks?" ”

Governor Zhang didn't answer, he stood in front of the window in a daze, looking out the window, as if sinking into a memory.

After a long while, he said:

"Actually, a long time ago, my nickname was Zhang Shilang, not Zhang Yiyi. Above me, I have two older brothers and one sister, and I am the youngest in the family. ”

"At that time, my family was poor, very poor, so poor that when someone else's family dropped a grain of rice, I would rush to pick it up and swallow the sand in my stomach."

"Even though I was poor at that time, I didn't think it was anything. My father, mother, brothers and sisters are all very kind to me, and the family is very happy. It's good to be happy, but what's the point of being hungry? ”

"I didn't know at the time, many times, poverty is the greatest evil."

"We're growing up day by day, and the amount of food is getting bigger and bigger. Every day, as soon as I finished eating, I looked at the pot with my eyes open. One day, my father and mother knew that it was really impossible to feed four children. ”

So, my father hit the eldest brother with the idea. Because my eldest brother was born a bit stupid, and he was not able to help the family until he was twelve years old. ”

"That year, my father sat in the field for the night, and the next day said that the family could not support a fool, so throw away the eldest brother, otherwise none of them would survive. My mother refused to die, so my father beat my mother and tied her up. Then he fed his eldest brother a full meal and took him out of the house. My eldest brother is gone. ”

"After the eldest brother was gone, my father said that the old Zhang family could not afford to be poor like this. My dad gritted his teeth and said, I'm naturally smart, and he's going to send me to school. So my father went and begged the patriarch. After the patriarch took the test, he promised half of the money from the clan for me to study. ”

"But it's too expensive to study, even if you pay half of the money, my family is just barely trying to make ends meet. In the third year, my second brother had a serious illness and needed to spend a lot of money. My father sat in the field for a night and said, Shiro wants to study, Jiro wants to heal, and there is only one in the family. After Shiro reads the book, he can take the Xiucai exam and become a big official. After Erlang was cured, he couldn't go down to the ground anymore and couldn't do heavy work. He chose Shiro.

"That time, my mother didn't cry, she hugged her second brother in a daze and didn't let go, and she hugged her for three days and three nights. On the fourth day, my second brother died, and before he died, he said to me that if I want to study hard, I must be admitted to Xiucai, and I must be a big official. I cried and said that I must study hard, I must be admitted to Xiucai, and I must be a big official. That's it, my second brother is gone. ”

"When I got to the year when I could take the Xiucai exam, everything I could sell at home had already been sold, and I couldn't take out half of the steel plate anymore. My father sat in the field for another night, went to the county the next day, and came back with a man. The man looked at my third sister and was very satisfied, saying that this girl was beautiful and innocent, and she could sell it for a good price. At that time, me, my mother, and my sister were all stupid. I knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, saying that I would stop studying, and I would not go to the county to take the Xiucai exam, and I could work in the field. But my third sister said, fool, you have fought for two lives, what is it to give up now? Then my third sister, my third sister took the money from that person, handed it over to me, and said, Si'er, you will only be the only one left in the family in the future, you must study hard, you must be admitted to Xiucai, and you must be a big official. Then my third sister followed the man, and it was gone. ”

"With this money, I went to the county seat and passed the Xiucai exam. I hurried home, only to find that my mother had been on hunger strike for two days and two nights, and was about to die. I told my mother that I had been admitted to Xiucai, and the master also said in public that with my talent, I would definitely be able to be admitted to the Juren, and it was very likely that I would be admitted to the Jinshi. I told my mother that I would be an official, a big official, and a happy family. My mother nodded and said that Shiro was so good. After saying that, he died. ”

"After being admitted to Xiucai, my family changed overnight. But only my father and I were left in the family, a family of six, and there were only two left. ”

"Later, I lived up to expectations, was promoted to a person, a jinshi, and was also on the list to catch a son-in-law, and was recruited by the dignitaries in the capital to be a son-in-law. I hurried home, and my father was also very happy, and cried with joy. After crying, he pulled me to kneel in the ancestral hall of the clan and said, "Our branch, to his generation, he is the only seedling." In my generation, three brothers were born. He thought that my family could spread out from now on, but in the end, I was the only one left. After saying that, my father asked me to swear that I must pass on the ancestry, and I must not let my Zhang family die. In front of my ancestors and ancestors, I swore a poisonous oath and said that I would no longer be Zhang Shilang in the future, but Zhang Yi. I must always keep in mind the heavy responsibility of passing on the ancestry! My dad laughed. ”

"Unexpectedly, the next day, my father hanged himself on the crooked-necked tree in the field."

"I cried so much that I fainted, and I was carried into the carriage by my wife's family, returned to the capital, and became a relative."

"After becoming an official, I spent thirteen years looking for my third sister everywhere. When I finally found it, I learned that she was sold into a brothel that year, and then survived for ten years. Three years ago, she couldn't survive and died. ”

"My family of six, it's really, only I am left!"

"Hehe, I studied hard, I was admitted to Xiucai, and I became a big official, but what's the use? My family died because of this, and they didn't even enjoy a day of my blessings. ”

"They only left one last wish, a last wish that is no more small and deserved, and wants me to pass on the ancestry!"

"I want Zhang Yi, for the Zhang family, to pass on the ancestry!"

These tragic events must have been passed countless times in my heart, so Governor Zhang has become numb. When talking about such a tragic event, his tone was still flat!

But the little Taoist priest was already in tears when he heard it.

He got up, arched his hand, and said: "Lord Futai, Poor Dao understands, Poor Dao will definitely do his best!" ”

Governor Zhang stared at him and shook his head slowly and firmly: "No, Zhang Daoren, you don't understand. I told you so many things that you should never say to outsiders, I want to tell you that I don't want you to do your best, I want you to do it, you have to do it! ”

The little Taoist smiled bitterly in his heart, must it be done? That Zhang Yanei's body is like this, who in the world dares to say "must be done"?

He, the same!

As if he didn't see the wry smile on the little Taoist priest's face, Governor Zhang said lightly: "I'll tell you two more things." ”

"First, last night, I sent the three women in the rebel's private house, the maid he wanted the most in the house, and the most popular top brand in the house into his room, but it was useless. I invited the most famous doctor in the province overnight, and used the most ruthless tiger and wolf medicine, but it was useless, completely useless! ”

"Second, the rebel son is just the second person to be happy with the female ghost. The first person, who came with the news in the early hours of this morning, was dead. It's just a small wind chill, just stay in bed for three days, and then die! ”

At this time, the little Taoist priest couldn't even smile bitterly, he really wanted to say: "The little one can't do it, please be smart!" ”

But looking at the extreme paranoia and extreme madness hidden under the indifferent expression of Governor Zhang, the little Taoist priest believed that if he really dared to say this, he would definitely not live for a moment!

Governor Zhang looked at him, and still said lightly: "Zhang Daoren, just like you said, I can only beg you now, otherwise if I Zhang Yi, I will really become Zhang Wuhou!" ”

"If you can do it, I will give you whatever you want, even if you want me to give you ten kowtows on the most prosperous street in Tongchuan Mansion, I will do it."

"However, if you can't," Governor Zhang finally sighed: "Even if I kill myself and cut myself with a thousand knives, I can't get rid of the regret and hatred in my heart!" ”

"So by then, I'm sure I'll be doing a couple of things. Kill the rebel, kill the shrew, kill you both, and kill yourself! ”

"Zhang Daoren, you are a smart person, you should no longer doubt my determination now."

"Everything, please. Later I will have the butler come to you, and if you need anything, please do not hesitate to tell me. I tried my best, and I will do it. ”

"Good luck to me and good luck to you!"

After speaking, Governor Zhang didn't say a word anymore and brushed his sleeves away. The little Taoist priest stood dumbfounded for a while, and then sat down on the chair in a daze.

Miserable! This is the place where I am born, and I have planted myself in it.

In the guest room, the drunken Taoist rushed in, looked left and right, and sighed: "Brother Gao, just go out for such a short time, come on, the treatment of the two of us has gone up several levels." Look, this snow-white quilt, the fresh fruit at this time, this, this and the fine wine. ”

As soon as the drunken Taoist lifted the flask, he poured it into his mouth. After pouring the "Gollum" in one gulp, he smashed his mouth and praised: "Good, good wine." Brother, from death row prisoners to VIPs, it's just between you turning your hands. That's high! ”

"Hey," the little Taoist priest who had been sitting on the bed worried, sighed: "Brother, if you want to drink, just drink enough." How can there be good wine in Tongchuan Mansion, if you want to open your mouth, don't be polite. ”

The drunken Taoist opened his drunken eyes: "I said brother, listen to what this means, do you want me to be a drunken ghost?" ”

The little Taoist priest smiled bitterly: "My brother is a drunkard, and it is not a happy thing to be a drunken ghost." It's a hundredfold or a thousand times better than being a starving ghost or a headless ghost. ”

The drunken Taoist priest sat down, hooked the little Taoist priest's shoulders and said, "Brother, listen to what you mean, we won't live long?" ”

The little Taoist priest sighed: "I'm afraid it is! The meaning of the prefect is very clear, if his Zhang family can spread the branches, we will be rewarded, if his Zhang family is out of incense, we will die without a place to be buried. ”

"Is that difficult?" Drunken Daoist frowned: "Brother, brother, I don't have to worry about this Taoist priest, but it's all up to you." How sure are you? ”

"Thirty percent," the little Taoist priest counted and calculated, and said, "At most, thirty percent." Cloth the altar, try to form, use the qi of heaven and earth to the yang to expel the ghost qi in that kid's body, and achieve a balance between yin and yang, I am completely sure. However, that kid is too empty. Dao techniques can replenish his yang energy, but his body can't retain these yang energy, and it will leak when he makes up for it. There is nothing I can do about this, I must have a warm holy product to repair his body. ”

The drunken Taoist wondered: "Isn't there a good doctor in Tongchuan Mansion?" ”

The little Taoist priest shook his head with a wry smile: "There are good doctors, but ordinary prescriptions are useless at all." To make up for his vitality in a short period of time, and he can't make up for it greatly, this kind of recipe, hey, it is estimated that only our official family in the Great Song Dynasty can afford to use it! ”

"But only when Taoism and good prescriptions are used together, that kid can regain his strength. Otherwise, even if he can save this little life, he won't want to be hard again in this life. ”

"If he can't get up, the two of us, hey, will die."

The drunken Taoist frowned and pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "The holy product of Wen Bu, the secret recipe of the palace, this, I may really have it." ”

"Really!" The little Taoist priest was overjoyed: "Do you really have a way?" ”
