Soon after the death of the prefectural order, the matter eventually reached the imperial court.

After hearing this, Long Yan was furious, and then removed the prefect of Yingfu, confiscated his property, and put him on death row, and the same governor temporarily acted as the prefect.

Then, the emperor found an old minister surnamed Wanfu from the court and ordered him to be the pacification envoy of Yuncheng County to appease the people.

But anyone who knows anything about Wanfu knows that this person seems to be a loyal old man on the surface, and he has made countless military exploits when he was young.

In fact, he really relied on the old and sold the old, relying on his identity as a veteran of the three dynasties, secretly colluding with the private party and plotting to usurp the throne and seize power.

The emperor naturally knew about this, and on the surface, he was asking him to observe the people's feelings, but in fact it was equivalent to exile him in disguise.

First, it can keep him away from the government, and second, it can take the opportunity to gather all his strength.

When Master Wang heard the old man's name, he was also surprised, and opened his mouth to say, "You mean, this old thief has withheld the salary?" ”

"That's right", Zhang Zhutou nodded affirmatively, "However, I have a way to make this old thief obediently, but ......"

Seeing that his expression was a little twisted, and at the same time he was worried about the dire situation of the common people, so he hurriedly let him go down.

"I don't know if the old man has heard of it, but there is a hole in the northwest mountain. When you arrive there during the day, you will feel that the cold wind comes out of the cave, and at night, bursts of poisonous miasma come out, endangering the surrounding people. ”

"You don't want to poison that old thief with a poisonous toad, do you? Murdering the Minister of Military Aircraft is a serious crime, and it is impossible to kill all the people! ”

Seeing the old man's serious appearance, Zhang Zhutou immediately laughed, and then said: "You just borrow a hundred guts from me, and you don't dare." ”

The old man didn't understand what he meant at this time, and hurriedly let him continue.

"Master, in the cave I mentioned, there is not only miasma, but in fact, there is a giant poisonous toad that has become the climate hidden in the cave Zheng Wenyan, there is a Taoist priest named Zhao Banxian'er, who is strong in mana and is the best at manipulating demons."

The old man said: "Are you, let that old Taoist control the monster and kill the old thief?" ”

"Master, you don't leave the word killing in every word, and you feel that you are the one who wants to take his life."

When Master Wang heard this, his face turned red and white for a while, and then he roared: "Presumptuous, my lord, I ...... Aren't I anxious right now? Wouldn't it be better if there was a better way! ”

The first time he saw Master Wang going crazy, Zhang Zhutou also knew that he had said it, so he hurriedly kowtowed to let him dissipate his anger.

"Okay, okay, okay, get up, you hurry up and finish the conversation in one go."

Seeing that the old man turned his head, Zhang Zhutou got up, leaned in front of him, and said, "Master, the ability of that poisonous toad is not just to release poison. ”

When Li You heard the poisonous toad, he was first shocked, because he remembered that Da Mao had personally described this monster to him when he and his uncle went down the mountain.

But Da Mao didn't say a word about Zhao Banxian'er.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Zhao Banxian'er, who was sitting next to him, walked to the window at some point, admiring the moonlight.

It's early autumn outside, and when the sun shines, it's still hot. As soon as the sun sets, the cold air beneath the surface rises rapidly.

hit Rao, inexplicably comfortable.

Seeing that Banxian Er was no longer talking, Li You kept his back to him, and hurriedly stood up and leaned over:

"Master, that poisonous toad you just now is not a demon who was subdued by my master and uncle?"

"Hahaha", Zhao Banxian'er's sudden laughter startled Li You, "Joke, if it wasn't for a visitor who interrupted me at that time, where would it be their turn?" ”

Visitors? The more Li You listened, the more confused he became, and asked him what this outsider was.

But Zhao Banxian'er didn't answer him, but continued to go down.

Wang Fu's character originally belonged to that kind of cowardly person, and when he heard the word demon, he began to hesitate, so he said to Zhang San'er, if he wanted to make trouble, he would never agree.

Zhang San'er, who had been waiting by his side for a long time, explained that the monster was originally just a poisonous toad.

Later, the monk who came from nowhere found a spring with excellent feng shui under the cave, and directly set up a draining furnace on the side and refined the pills.

Speaking of this alchemy, Zhao Banxian'er also gave Li You a simple explanation.

This technique began in the Spring and Autumn Period and has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is nothing more than the use of mercury and other substances to be proportionally blended through secret recipes passed down from heart to heart.

After some unscientific Jianghu skills, the Dantou is refined, and it is tempered and subdued to achieve the promotion of cultivation to Taoism

More people's understanding of alchemy is still only on the "immortal" elixir, in fact, there are many kinds of elixir, and the effect is very different.

When Master Wang heard this, he pulled out the alchemy, and suddenly felt that Zhang San's words were a little unreliable, but he still insisted on listening.

The alchemist stayed down there for a few years, but in the end he didn't live forever.

After taking the last pill, he suddenly felt hot and uncomfortable, and then he vomited blood and died tragically

But he never expected that there would be a poisonous toad by his side these days. He took one pill, and the poison toad also ate another.

He died, but the toad lived.

A belly mixed with seven miscellaneous Australian pill heads, plus the poison of the toad itself. The time and place are favorable, and within a few years it became the climate.

At first, he could release poison gas, and then he could disturb Rao's mind through the sound of chirping.

The former is indeed extremely harmful; But the chirp it came up with later was actually beneficial and harmless.

Master Wang looked at Zhang San'er, who was spitting around, and was surprised: "Beneficial and harmless?" ”

"That's right, sir, the chirping of this poisonous toad can teach people to behave well, make people good, and it will be useful for life."

Listening to his flowers, Master Wang also said in disbelief: "This is the first time I've heard it, do you mean, find that Zhao Banxian'er, and then use his power to use the sound of a poisonous toad to make that Wanfu know his mistakes and repent and do good deeds?" ”

"That's right, hey, sir, you don't have to worry, it's down-to-earth, and the rest will be left to the people to take full responsibility."

"That'...... All right. ”

After that, Master Wang didn't care about it anymore and handed it over to Zhang San'er to handle it alone.

And when he was promoted to the church for the first time, he was with the third class of officials, and all the Rao Xiang money had to be deducted and used to buy rice and porridge to give alms to the people.

Some people are happy and some are worried, and those with a conscience feel that the master is upright from the bottom of their hearts.

Those who are lazy and accustomed to chatting scolded Master Wang in private. He is just putting on a show, just the so-called three fires for the new official to take office.

Although Wang Fu and Master Wang have done his best, he always feels that he has not done enough.

As long as he is in his spare time, he will take off the black yarn, change into ordinary clothes, and walk the streets and alleys to observe the people's feelings.

I thought I could help, so I helped out.

The days are one, but Zhang San'er's plan has been bumpy.

Everything is easy to do, that is, to find this uncertain Zhao Banxian'er, in that dynasty where communication is not developed, comparable to Deng.

One day, the old man wore a sackcloth robe and helped his men to make porridge for the beggars.

Busy and sweating profusely, he saw a white-haired old woman in the crowd in the queue, who looked very similar to his own mother.

immediately sent someone to invite her over, and after handing the spoon to Zhang San'er, he came to her side and looked up and down.

It's okay not to look at it, but the more I look at it, the more it looks like it, and for a while tears can't stop flowing.

"I think of my miserable mother, before I have enjoyed a blessing, I will die, the master is really blind!"

The old woman, looking at his anguish appearance, took out a dirty handkerchief from her bosom, handed it to him, and continued:

"The emperor has no relatives, but virtue is auxiliary."
