Chapter 44: The Old Story of the Tang Sect (1)
The two of them left the old mansion of the prince's mansion.
At this time, it was already dawn, and he walked through an alley, until there was a crowded place, Wu Laosan sighed, as if he was relaxed.
And Bai Changsheng couldn't help but be curious, and hurriedly asked Wu Laosan what kind of place the compound was just now.
Wu Laosan knew that Bai Changsheng would ask this, and the two chatted while walking, and also popularized the strange rumors of the past to Bai Changsheng.
"Xiao Changsheng, I am still the third master, I am well-informed, today I will tell you the story of this Tang Sect Prince's Mansion, so that you can teach you that you know that you are not the only one who knows about the evil sect!"
Bai Changsheng hurried over and listened to the old things in the palace compound...
···
It was in the years when Qianlong Ye had just ascended the throne, and there was such a courtyard.
The master's name is Tang Qiusheng, and he was a famous royal prince in the capital.
But the origin of the story starts with the famous battle between Qianlong Ye and Zhuo:
Back then, the size and Zhuo often harassed the frontier, and every time the imperial court sent troops, they were overwhelmed, but they couldn't help it, and Lord Qianlong was very angry.
Later, Lord Qianlong drove the expedition in person, pacified the size and Zhuo, and won the victory.
The morale of the soldiers was boosted, but it took only a few months to clean up the size and Zhuo.
Lord Qianlong was overjoyed and led his troops back to the dynasty in triumph.
The people I met on the road were all cheering, thankful to the imperial court for pacifying the frontier, and finally there was no need to worry about someone coming to the border every day.
On the way back to the dynasty, Lord Qianlong rewarded a group of ordinary officers and soldiers, one of whom was Tang Qiusheng in our story.
Tang Qiusheng was just a down-and-out kid at that time, and he was rewarded, Tang Qiusheng was grateful for the emperor's grace and swore to follow him, so he joined the army.
That Tang Qiusheng was a child of an ordinary poor family, and later with the army to conquer the Quartet, but he was able to make great contributions, and even killed the heads of many enemy generals.
After a few years in a hurry, this person's reputation became bigger and bigger, and later it reached the ears of the imperial court.
Tang Qiusheng was proud of his life, and he should have lived a long life, but...
When Tang Qiusheng was young, he was very fond of witch culture, and after settling in Beijing, he got the name of the princes, and he was even more idle and began to study witch culture.
And because he went into battle to kill the enemy in the old days, he had a lot of experience in the formation of the law, so he wanted to combine the two together to make a peerless Dafa and cultivate immortals beyond the bounds.
It can be said that he is obsessed with this, regardless of anyone's dissuasion, and he drums up those evil things all day long, and everyone is afraid to avoid them.
But fortunately, it was only done in secret, and the matter was not publicized too much, so everyone acquiesced.
And as the old saying goes, "three generations of wealth will produce rebels", and it really came according to it: in Tang Qiusheng's later years, the Tang family produced a domineering son, who caused trouble all day long, and did not embarrass the Tang family.
But Tang Qiusheng, the old man of the Tang family, was old and had a grandson, and he doted on this kid very much, and he never had a trace of admonition.
Later, the young master of the Tang family was even more uneducated, and the master of the family once helped the Qing Dynasty stabilize the country, so he helped the neighborhood to "stabilize" the daughter-in-law, and often molested the wife and daughter of the good family on weekdays.
Until one day later, the young master of the Tang family took a fancy to the young grandmother of another Eight Banners' family, and went to climb the wall to tease when he had nothing to do.
That family is also a big family, a relative of the emperor and the country, how can he give up after being insulted by this?
Not surprisingly, the family broke his bones and tendons and sent him back.
The old man of the Tang family saw that his beloved grandson was almost beaten to death, where could he endure such a shameful humiliation.
With a group of domestic slave workers, the old man of the Tang family fought with that lineage clan, and he also used Gu to make poison, which was a sensation in Beijing back then.
The old man of the Tang family has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has a lot of kung fu on his hands and feet, how can the descendants of the Eight Banners be pampered and pampered?
If you don't pay attention, you will beat the master of that family to death!
This is an earth-shattering event, and it has reached the ears of the emperor of the Qianqing Palace, after all, it is his own side branches, and this Tang family is a frontier and cannot be compared.
Long Yan is furious!
Killing the prince is not a small crime, and besides, his son has done it first.
I also learned that the Tang family liked witchcraft arrays, and the imperial court was already very disgusted with these heresies, so they drafted an edict:
Give the Tang family a full house of beheading!
On that day, the Tang family was beheaded, and the city of Beijing was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
The common people all came to see it, and there were hundreds of them.
The executioner didn't know whether he was flustered or his hands were shaking, and he trembled, and when he slashed the last man, the head of the knife was unstable, and he couldn't kill him with a single sword.
The last person, named Tang Wuxin, was the butler of the Tang family.
Tang Wuxin stabbed in his heart, fell to the ground and rolled back and forth, screaming in pain, the executioner was in a hurry, took out a sharp knife and threw it over, piercing Tang Wuxin's back of the heart!
But this knife still didn't kill!
This time it was not only the executioner, but even the prison officials were panicked, you must know that the most taboo thing is to kill people with a blunt knife for such a major event as beheading, so quickly order to stop, and report to the court for instructions.
When the court heard about this, it was also embarrassed, and issued an edict saying that God has the virtue of a good life, so he will not kill this Tang Wuxin, he is also the butler of the Tang family, and the disobedience of the Tang family has nothing to do with him.
Give sinful clothes and sin skirts, and never take them off for the rest of your life. Stay in the Tang family's compound and watch the house sweep the floor.
Tang Wuxin didn't die with two knives, but his life was hanging by a thread, and he was thrown back to the Tang family's compound, and later he didn't know where he got the witch Gu remedies, and he cured half of his life.
But the knife was already in the cracks of the bones, and when it was taken off, it would immediately die on the ground.
Tang Wuxin couldn't bear the pain and stayed on his body, and Rijing Yuehua was afraid that he had now fused with his skin and bones.
In particular, Tang Wuxin's thoughts also changed: he was loyal to the old master, but he was crippled twice and half a life, and his whole mentality was distorted.
Staying in the Tang family's compound, wearing linen and filial piety all day long, he was in a trance, and he also began to study the way of witchcraft and arranging troops.
The old mansion of the Tang family was very terrible by him, and the surrounding neighbors also moved out of here, and after a long time, outsiders didn't know what had happened, and they all thought he was dead.
And there are bursts of ghostly howls in that place every night, so it's not scary, everyone respects this place, only Wu Laosan knows, this Tang Wuxin, the most fond of witch Gu refining living people!
Therefore, every time a homeless man or a thief breaks in without knowing it, he will eventually die in the Tang family compound, and the yamen also turns a blind eye to this matter, after all, the court has left this person alive.
···
After Wu Laosan finished speaking, Bai Changsheng felt that this old man was half desolate and half terrifying, and he didn't expect that there was such a number one person in the capital.
Still a little puzzled, Bai Changsheng asked:
"Then how did you know Tang Wuxin?"
Wu Laosan glanced at Bai Changsheng and said in a very solemn tone:
"That case, I will never forget it in my life, and I don't want to remember it again, alas... Eighteen lives, not a single one was left alive, and after death, all of them were gouged out of their eyes..."
