Chapter 449: Infinite Happiness (2)
Wake up Mei Liang and tell her what happened when she dreamed of the old man. Mei Liang believed Xiang Wucheng's words this time, so he asked Xiang Wucheng to dig overnight, and there were many people during the day, so it was difficult to be seen by others.
Xiang Wucheng felt that what Mei Liang said was reasonable, so he started to do it.
When I dug three feet, I saw a big burden, picked it up and opened it to see that it was full of shell coins, and Xiang Wucheng and Mei Liang were extremely happy. The two hugged and said, "We have made a fortune, and we will never worry about running out of shell coins in the future." After saying that, the two of them jumped up excitedly.
Xiang Wucheng used these shell coins to buy a house and open a wine inn, and the days became more and more nourishing.
Just when Xiang Wucheng and Mei Liang were enjoying life, great disasters also came.
On this day, Xiang Wucheng and Mei Liang were busy greeting guests at the wine inn, when a group of officials rushed in and shouted when they entered the door: "Who is Xiang Wucheng." ”
Xiang Wucheng saw that an official was looking for him, and greeted him with a smile and said, "I am, I don't know what the official has to tell him to find the little one." ”
The official at the head looked at Xiang Wucheng, waved at his subordinates, and said, "Take it!" Xiang Wucheng was tied up and escorted back to the yamen.
Seeing that Xianggong was arrested, Mei Liang hurriedly put down the work in his hand, ran over and said in fear and begging: "Ladies and gentlemen, what did my Xianggong do, why did you arrest him?"
The official at the head said angrily: "Someone reported him, his financial route is unknown, he must be arrested and questioned, don't hinder our business." After speaking, he pushed Mei Liang aside and escorted Xiang Wucheng away.
Mei Liang saw that Xiang Wucheng was arrested, and he didn't have the heart to do business, so he closed the shop early.
When Mei Liang arrived at the county office, she had already finished the trial and asked her to come back tomorrow.
Mei Liang was very worried about Xiang Wucheng, so he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Master, wronged, we are honest businessmen, we have never done anything illegal, and please ask the master to investigate." After saying that, he kowtowed desperately.
Mei Liang didn't say that the money was dug under his bed, and he couldn't prove anything if he said it, and it might be even more detrimental to Xiang Wucheng, so he simply didn't say it.
The official asked Mei Liang to come to visit the prison tomorrow, and Mei Liang wanted to ask the official again, so the official asked his subordinates to drive Mei Liang out.
Xiang Wucheng couldn't figure out what he thought in prison, and the money that Daxian told him that he had caused such a disaster, and began to scold the Star Daxian in his heart.
When it was almost dawn, Xiang Wucheng lay on the ground and fell asleep, and in his dream he met the star immortal again, and in the dream Xiang Wucheng told him about the disaster caused by digging shell coins.
The old man said unhurriedly: "Don't panic, I'm here, I'll keep you safe." After speaking, he told Xiang Wucheng the way to save him.
The next day, Xiang Wucheng was escorted out for interrogation.
When I arrived at the lobby, I saw a young man sitting on the side of the lobby.
Only then did I believe that the Star Immortal really didn't lie to him, this young man is the current monarch, and Weifu has visited this place, and now he is listening to how this official master investigates the case.
Xiang Wucheng was thinking to himself, when he suddenly heard a startled sound, and the official master shouted: "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”
Xiang Wucheng raised his head and said, "Xiang Wucheng." ”
"Are you guilty of being bold and unsuccessful?" the official scolded angrily, and the official hat on his head shook wildly.
"According to the report, you fled to the town on the 5th of this month, and it is only the 10th day now. ”
Xiang Wucheng remembered the words of the old man in white, squinted at the young man sitting next to him and said, "My lord, the villain is really saving his own family wealth, if there is half a lie, let the official master deal with it." ”
The official man shouted angrily: "Bold Xiang Wucheng, it seems that there is no punishment to serve, you are unwilling to confess, come here, call me." ”
Xiang Wucheng hurriedly drank: "Wait, I have something to say." ”
The official thought that Xiang Wucheng intended to confess and persuaded him to retreat.
Xiang Wucheng said to the old man in white according to what the old man in white said, and listened to the old man's face turn from blue to black and then to white.
It turned out that this official had already received the news that the monarch would pay a private visit to this place, and in order to show himself in front of the king, he specially found a few suspicious people to interrogate.
This official relied on his uncle's high position in the royal city, and acted recklessly here, imposing heavy taxes on the people, and paying more than 20 concubines alone, making the people miserable.
Fortunately, Daxian informed him in advance, the king was present, and Wu San told the monarch of his crime. And the crimes are well documented, this official was removed from his post and beheaded for public display.
Later, the king asked Xiang Wucheng how he knew so clearly, Xiang Wucheng did not dare to deceive, so he told the king the truth, and he was able to get rich and avoid all disasters with the help of the gods.
When the king learned that Xiang Wucheng could observe the world in his dreams, he brought him back to the royal city to help him govern the country.
Xiang Wucheng and Mei Liang were taken to the royal city, and Xiang Wucheng also became a big official and lived a carefree life ever since. and helped the king expand his territory and accomplished a great feat. During this period, he never forgot to cultivate, plus with the help of the Star Immortal, I heard that this Xiang Wucheng really became an immortal later, and after becoming an immortal, he also helped the world avoid many disasters.
Who is Xiang Wucheng, it is said to be the ancestor of Xiang Jian.
There is a carpenter named Xun Lao in the town where Xiang Wucheng is located, and his skills are unique in ten miles and eight towns when he was young, and no one can match him.
Because his ancestors were carpenters, Xun carpenter is even more talented, surpassing his father at a young age, and the production of various furniture is very handy.
It's a pity that Carpenter Xun was born with one long foot and one short foot, so he walked with a limp, but this could not hide the light of his superb skills.
On this day, the old carpenter Xun finished finishing and was walking home alone, when he suddenly saw an old man walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"Master, excuse me, do you have time? I still have furniture in my house and I would like you to help me build it. The old man said to the old carpenter Xun with a smile.
The old carpenter looked up at the old man in front of him, his face was kind, his hair was gray, but his eyes seemed to be uneroded by the years, and they were still bright and clear.
"Okay, where do you live? I'll come directly to your house tomorrow. Old carpenter Xun casually agreed.
The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "My family lives too far away, too remote, I'm afraid you won't find it, I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning." ”
Old Carpenter Xun thought about it and agreed.
After saying the price, I followed the old man to his house the next day, only to find that this place is indeed very remote, it is really eighteen bends of the mountain road, and there are forests everywhere, and I am almost dizzy.
When he came to the old man's house, a small and simple wooden house appeared in front of him, and the old man told the old carpenter Xun that he lived alone, and his children were not there, and he wanted to make a sleeping chair, so that he could lie outside the door and bask in the sun when he was alone.
Old Carpenter Xun patted his chest and agreed, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely make you a comfortable chair." ”
But when he lifted the tools to start work, he found that there was no wood, and thought that the old man was old, and it was impossible for him to prepare the raw materials, so the old carpenter took a saw up the mountain and sawed a few trees, and carried it back with a limp in sweat.
"I'm so sorry, I asked you to prepare the materials, I'm too old to carry it. The old man looked apologetic, handed the old carpenter Xun a glass of water and said.
The old carpenter Xun took a sip of the water, only felt that the water was very sweet, and it was cool to drink, and he was busy working, so he didn't think about the difference between it and the usual water.
At noon, the old carpenter Xun sat on the table, only to find that there were four dishes and one soup on the table, all vegetarian dishes, this went out to work for so many years, and it was the first time that he encountered no meat at home, but the old carpenter Xun was quiet, only thinking that it should be the reason for the poverty of the family, as long as there is rice to fill the stomach.
Old Carpenter Xun still remembers that at that lunch, there was no big fish and meat, and the food was still very fragrant, the rice was fragrant, and the dishes were also fragrant.
I have to say that this Xun old carpenter's first-class technology, most of the time, a sleeping chair is about to take shape, the old man has been watching him work, and Xun old carpenter Tiannan Haibei chat, from time to time will also help the need, really like a simple old man.
"Look at your inconvenient legs, how did it cause it?" the old man suddenly asked about the old carpenter Xun.
When the old carpenter Xun heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he said sadly: "I was born like this, and there is no rule of law." After speaking, the old carpenter Xun lowered his head and stopped talking, obviously, the old carpenter Xun also wanted to be like a normal person, but that was just an extravagant hope.
