Chapter 30: Goodbye Master
Zheng Fan ran fast, a hundred miles, five hundred miles, a thousand miles!
"San'er, I seemed to see a figure just now. A middle-aged man, carrying a tree branch, said to his brother beside him.
"Second brother, are you dazzled, how can there be anyone, there was only a gust of wind just now. ”
"That might really be my eyes..."
In just one morning, Zheng Fan crossed a thousand miles and came to Jinzhou Mansion. After more than a year, Zheng Fan also felt a little emotion in his heart, found a good restaurant, ordered some good wine and food, and ate alone.
Now that you have money, there is no need to grieve yourself. With a huge fortune, if you go to eat steamed buns again, you will be considered contrived.
After eating for a while, Zheng Fan was also a little drunk in his heart, so he let Xiao Er open a good guest room, although he was not very sleepy, but he was also a little tired from cultivating the cracked feet in the past month.
From the afternoon, until the next day, the sky was bright. Zheng Fan went to the place where he took the township test to register and take the exam.
Those exam questions, in Zheng Fan's opinion, were like child's play, and after writing them with a smile, he handed in the papers. Go back to the tavern and continue to eat and drink, waiting for the list to be released three days later.
It is also Zheng Fan's luck, this time the chief examiner is the prefect of Jinzhou Mansion, who is selfless and selfless, and only uses his literary style to make a name for himself. If you put it in the past, let you be a pedantic and a saint, if you don't have 'human favor', don't think about passing the test.
"Hey, this person's words are sonorous and powerful, floating like floating clouds, and like a dragon. Iron book silver hook. I think it's a middle-aged scholar who has grown up to practice. The prefect was first attracted by this word, and when he was reading the article, the writing was brilliant and the rhetoric was gorgeous. There is the style of ancient sages.
The prefect was very pleased, and he pointed out the first place. Looking at who did it?—— Zheng Fan.
"Zheng Fan?" this name sounds familiar, but I can't remember it..."The prefect has a lot of opportunities, it has been more than a year since he last met Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan is a little talent, so naturally he has not remembered it.
Three days, fleeting, Zheng Fan came to the front of the mansion to watch the list, saw his name listed at the top of the list, and smiled indifferently: "Zhongxiyuan?" and then walked into the prefect's lobby.
When the officials on both sides saw that Zheng Fan dared to break into the court, they stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you?
Zheng Fan said with a smile: "I am the township test Xie Yuan, surnamed Zheng Mingfan, I bothered Your Excellency to talk to the prefect, and said that there is something to discuss next." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Xie Yuan, a small faux pas. When the official heard that Zheng Fan turned out to be Xie Yuan, how could he dare to slack off?
"Lord Prefect, the first place in the township test, Zheng Fan, Zheng Xie Yuan ask to see. ”
"Oh, let him in. The prefect nodded, and waved his hand to signal the official to go down.
"Master Xie Yuan, my lord called you over. The official returned to the door of the lobby and invited Zheng Fan to meet the prefect.
"Meet the Prefect. Zheng Fan gave a deep salute, and when the prefect saw Zheng Fan, he thought about it, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Zheng Jieyuan?
Zheng Fan nodded awkwardly: "Yes, that woman's name is Wang Yuehan, not Wang Youhan." ”
"Hey, it's all the same, what's the difference, haha! Zheng Jieyuan is here? ”
Zheng Fan paused and gave the prefect a look. The prefect understood and said to the maids and servants next to him: "You all go down, I have something to talk about with Zheng Jieyuan." ”
"Yes. All the men withdrew.
Zheng Fan knelt on the ground and said, "Please also ask the adults to make decisions for the villain!" and then he told him how he got out of Longyang County, which was caught by robbers, saw the tree demon, and was led to Jinzhou Mansion by a letter of recommendation from the tree demon.
When the prefect heard this, he was furious and said, "There is such a thing?" Zheng Jieyuan, do you dare to confront the master face to face?"
Zheng Fan said: "I dare!"
"Okay, if it's really as you said, then Master I will not forgive. If you dare to lie, even if you are in the middle of the Yuan, but this Lord will also take your life!
After a while, the master was passed up, and the first time he saw Zheng Fan, a cold light flashed in the master's eyes, and before the prefect could speak, he shouted: "My lord, it was this kid who killed Ah Lu in my house, Ah Lu was raised by me since I was a child, like father and son, and the adult wants to be the master for me!"
The prefect looked at Zheng Fan and said, "Zheng Jieyuan, what do you have to say?"
Zheng Fan looked at the master viciously: "This person is the minion of the demon of Longyang County, my lord, think about it, I am a poor and sour talent, how can He De let the master be invited to his house as a guest? Just because I am the son of my father? Not necessarily! Besides, why do I need to frame him?"
The prefect asked the master again: "Master, you tell the truth." ”
The master snorted and said with tears: "My lord, I knew at that time that he was the son of Lord Zheng Yuzheng, and I admired Lord Zheng on weekdays, and he was a good official with clean sleeves like you, sir. I wanted to get acquainted with him and invited him to my home for a drink. ”
The master slapped the prefect silently, and then continued: "Who knows that this Zheng mortal has a beast heart and has fallen in love with my Ah Lu maid, and has bad intentions, Ah Lu swore to resist to the death, and was killed by this person."
Master, I have followed you for more than ten years, and I am loyal, do you think it is necessary for me to forcibly frame this Zheng Fan because of a maid?
The prefect is now in a dilemma, and he doesn't know who to believe, both of them look innocent, and they are both reasonable.
Zheng Fan was furious when he heard that this master was still reversing right and wrong, and smashed a big hole on the ground with one punch.
The prefect and the master were all surprised when they saw this, they couldn't imagine that this Zheng Fan had such divine power.
"Your Excellency, you saw it too. All I want to hurt people is a thousand, and 10,000 masters can't withstand my punch. But if I dare to confront him here today, it shows that my heart is like the moon, and I hope that my lord will know it. ”
Although the master was surprised by Zheng Fan's punch, the matter had come to this point and he couldn't retreat. Hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master, you see, this Zheng Fan is so domineering and fierce, my maid was killed by him because he didn't obey him!"
"It's... This... Which of you two is telling the truth?"
Although Zheng Fan had the power of ten thousand jun, he wanted to tear the master to pieces, but reason told him that he couldn't do that, so he had to scold: "You guy, you black-hearted thing, tell the truth quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a blur in the master's eyes, and then his eyes were glazed, and he opened his mouth and said, "Master, I am guilty!" "I am the puppet of Lord Longyang County, and I have been poisoned by him. Dedicated to it, he admired me as a sleek person, and I was a master in Jinzhou Mansion, although he fed me poison. But every month will send someone to send an antidote, and there will also be a longevity elixir.
His Holiness said that as long as I keep taking the elixir, I can live to be two hundred years old..."
The master told all the things about the demon and the bad things he had done, including instigating Ah Lu to kill Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan was secretly surprised in his heart: "This master will definitely not take the initiative to confess so honestly, there must be a reason, could it be that the sentence I just said played a role? But it was just me casually saying, not a famous sentence of a sage, it would have such a magical effect?"
The prefect heard it in a cold sweat: "I didn't expect that there was a wolf around me, come! Drag him out and behead him immediately!"
The prefect was completely on fire, and two officers and soldiers came out on both sides and put the master out. As soon as the hands of the officers and soldiers touched the master, the master was shocked. His eyes returned to clarity, and he shouted: "My lord, this kid just used a demon spell on me, you can't trust him!"
The prefect had a black line on his face and waved his hand: "Don't drag it out, kill on the spot!"
Hearing this, the two officers and soldiers took out the matching knives on their waists and cut off the master's head with a single sword. After this master died, a stream of red and green gas rushed out of his body, which was visible to the naked eye.
Straight towards one of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers were entangled in the breath, and they bled in an instant, and they were turned into ashes in an instant!
The demonic qi injured a person's life, and then slowly rose again, heading straight for the prefect. The prefect was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and exclaimed, "What kind of magic is this?"
Zheng Fan looked at this red and green gas, and had an illusion in his heart, only feeling that this gas was not powerful, and it would not be a threat to himself.
Seeing that the demonic qi was about to enter the body of the prefect, Zheng Fan jumped and blocked in front of the prefect.
As soon as the demonic qi was about to touch Zheng Fan, a golden light flashed out of Zheng Fan's body, shooting on the demonic qi, and the demonic qi immediately dissipated between heaven and earth.
Seeing the corpse of the officer and soldier in front of him, there was only one piece of clothing left, and Zheng Fan couldn't help but think of it, the inn where he lived with Zhang San and Li Er, when he got up that morning, there was also a bloody breath, but there was no blood, only four sets of clothes, how similar is the situation?
That's right! That Zhang San Li Er is also a demon subordinate, who was also poisoned, and he got drunk after only eating a little wine that day, and it must have been the shopkeeper's hand that killed Zhang San and Li Er, and after the two died, the demonic energy on their bodies appeared, and the two were also killed.
Why is it that I alone have nothing to do, and can I still restrain this demonic spirit?
Zheng Fan didn't figure it out, but the prefect came back to his senses, but hurriedly bowed to Zheng Fan. He had just clearly seen his men die from that strange demonic aura.
I also saw it clearly, a beam of golden light came out of Zheng Fan's body, dispersing the demonic energy. The golden light gave him the feeling of solemnity,*, sacredness. Naturally, Zheng Fan was regarded as an immortal.
"The lower officials are mortal with the naked eye, and they don't know immortals, so please don't blame the immortals. ”
Zheng Fan smiled and said: "My lord's words are serious, where am I an immortal, just an ordinary scholar." My lord, since the truth of this matter has been revealed, I hope that my lord can send troops to suppress the demons in Longyang County, although I have some strength, but against the strange and unpredictable demons, it is better to go to more people. ”
