Chapter 14: Is It Ridiculous?
Dingjiang Mansion City, Jiang Youde Mansion.
Although Jiang Youde is not the prefect of Dingjiang, the mansion is not as luxurious as the prefect's mansion, but it is not small in the mansion, and Jiang Youde likes to raise thugs to guard. In the entire huge mansion, there are more than 700 guards alone.
A man in a brocade robe respectfully accompanied a blind old man into the courtyard.
"Second master, Lord Jiang is suddenly anxious to see the old man, I don't know what's going on." The blind old man asked softly, he has some fortune-telling and divination skills, and he can also mix bowls of rice in the city, but in the face of the Jiang family, the emperor of Dingjiang Mansion, he naturally does not dare to slack off at all, and a summons will come.
Jiang Youde's reputation is extremely stinky, this person is greedy and ruthless, and he is a little reluctant to deal with him.
"Hope is not an important thing, if it is an important thing, it will be difficult to withdraw as soon as it is glued." The blind old man is not blind in his heart, and he can see many things more clearly.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the Jide Temple that my godfather built outside caught fire, and I was in a bad mood, so I came to find Yu Lao to calculate, Yu Lao only needs to say a few good words to his godfather and make his old man happy." The brocade-robed man smiled.
Jiang Youde accepted nine righteous sons, and he was the second.
Yu Lao breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, he was ushered into a study. Jiang Youde sat behind the desk with a gloomy face, and the pen and ink inkstones in front of him were overturned. Just now, a subordinate came in to clean up, and Jiang Youde slapped his neck off.
He is now an old wolf in anger, his life's hard work and the only seedling are gone in one day, how can he not be angry.
Fortunately, Mr. Yu couldn't see the expression on Jiang Youde's face, but the man in the brocade robe could see that he was of course coaxing the blind old man just now, if he told the truth, what if the latter turned around and left.
"Godfather, Mr. Yu brought it." He immediately said respectfully.
"Well, you go out." Jiang Youde said.
"Yes." The brocade-robed man hurriedly turned around and went out, closing the door of the study as well.
Mr. Yu was shocked. He had already heard the murderous aura in Jiang Youde's tone! That Jiang Lao Er lied to him! It seems that today's events are not going to come and go.
"Mr. Yu." Jiang Youde looked at it.
"Lord Jiang, do you want to draw lots for divination or touch your bones to see your luck? The villain listens to orders. Mr. Yu followed the sound and turned his head and said.
"I won't let you tell fortunes, nor will I let you see luck, I want you to do one thing for me."
"What's the matter? The villain is blind and deaf, I'm afraid I can't satisfy the adults. Mr. Yu sweated on his forehead.
"Determine life and death, and summon wandering spirits." Jiang Youde said in a deep voice.
Mr. Yu was shocked, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "My lord, this, this villain can't do it..."
"Can't do it?" Jiang Youde's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he said coldly: "I heard that your third daughter-in-law just gave birth to a grandson to you the day before yesterday, and the house is full of children and grandchildren, which is really enviable." ”
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives." Mr. Yu fell to his knees with a thud, begging for mercy in horror. Jiang Youde killed his family, just like killing a few ants, not to mention that the officials did not dare to track it down, even if they investigated, it would be covered up by the prefect.
"I'll ask you again, condemn life and death, summon wandering spirits, will you." Jiang Youde still said coldly.
Mr. Yu swallowed his saliva, this is really forcing the living to hang himself, and the life of the family is in danger of him, so he can only nod and say: "Small, the villain did get the guidance of a master when he was young, and he knew a little ghost technique, but it was only rough and should not be of great use." ”
"Get up, as long as you listen to my orders, I will naturally not embarrass you." Jiang Youde waved his hand: "What utensils do you need to cast spells?" ”
"Yes, yes." Mr. Yu didn't dare to disobey, so he quickly got up, and then said some cinnabar pens, yellow paper charms, rooster blood and other things.
Jiang Youde immediately sent someone to prepare. After a while, everything was ready, and Mr. Yu sat at the table, and the rune paper in front of the table was arranged in a gossip formation, and the yin and yang Taiji pattern was painted in the center. This ghost path technique is used too much, it is equivalent to dealing with the underworld, and the yin qi will invade the body, if there is really a ghost path cultivation method, it is not afraid. But the problem is that he doesn't.
If you use it once, you will be injured by the yin qi entering the body, Mr. Yu is old, and he is afraid of making a mistake, so he has long dared not use it, but he didn't expect to be forced here by Jiang Youde.
Ready.
"My lord, who do you want to condemn to life and death? Tell the old man his name and birthday. Mr. Yu asked.
The ashes were left after the fire burned in the Jide Temple, and Jiang Youde couldn't tell who was who, so Jiang Youde wondered if Jiang Jinzhi had taken his son away with his treasures, and he was afraid that he would track it down, so he burned down the Jide Temple.
"The person I want to check is named Jiang Jinzhi, and his birthday is .........," he said.
I saw Mr. Yu write his name and birthday on the yellow paper, and the blind writing was not bad at all, and then silently recited a few obscure formulas, when the formulas in his mouth fell, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and it really blew the yellow paper on the table.
Jiang Youde looked solemnly.
"Your Excellency, the person you investigated is indeed dead." Mr. Yu took a deep breath, tightened the robe on his body and said.
"Dead, really dead... She is not weak in means, and there are more innate masters around her, how can she die? Jiang Youde didn't believe that it was Jiang Jinzhi who was burned to death by fire.
"Conjuring, conjuring, I want to know who killed her." Jiang Youde shouted.
Mr. Yu raised his eyebrows, this soul qi is even worse, whether his old bones can hold it is two words, but it is useless to say more now, if he dies here, it will be worth it to change the safety of his family.
He immediately began to chant the spell, this time the wind was even worse, and the doors and windows in the study were obviously closed. But there was a howling wind out of thin air. Jiang Youde's scalp was a little numb. This ghost path has the potential to cultivate the truth, and it is really extraordinary.
Suddenly, the blind old man Mr. Yu suddenly opened a pair of blind eyes, and those cloudy eyes suddenly turned into a woman's expression, looking directly at Jiang Youde.
"Jin Zhi, who is it, who killed you?" Jiang Youde looked shocked, recognized this look, and hurriedly asked.
"Repair...... Luo ......" Old Mr. Yu spit out two words, and then fell headlong on the table.
The yin wind dissipates.
"My lord, the villain did his best." Mr. Yu said again and again, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his hair was a lot whiter, as if he was not far from death.
"Shura?" Jiang Youde also knew that this kind of conjuring could not last long, and frowned.
Who is this? Of all the masters in Dingjiang Mansion, none of them are called Shura, and this is obviously a code name.
"Wangen, come in." Jiang Youde opened his mouth and shouted. The brocade-robed man outside the study hurriedly pushed the door in.
"Give Mr. Yu a hundred taels of silver, Mr. Yu, today's events are not enough for outsiders, do you know." Jiang Youde said.
"Yes, yes, yes." Mr. Yu was overjoyed that he survived, and he nodded hurriedly: "The villain must be tight-lipped." ”
"Hmm. Go ahead. ”
Old Mr. Yu and the man in the brocade robe walked out of the study, but there was a thought circling in their hearts: "The female ghost was so resentful just now, it's really terrible, she said Shura, and there is a surname behind her, Xu?" Hmph, Jiang family, there is no good thing, how can I let this old man with the surname say it......"
The conjuring was forcibly interrupted by him. But of course Jiang Youde couldn't see it.
"Huh? This road, why doesn't it look like the way out of the house? Mr. Yu suddenly became alert.
But at the moment when he was alert, there was already a strong force behind him that pushed him out, he only felt that the sky was spinning, plopping, and the surroundings were cold, and a large mouthful of water had been poured into his mouth, so that he couldn't shout, only heard a voice behind him.
"Oh no, Mr. Yu fell into the water while visiting the garden, come and save people..."The brocade-robed young man shouted casually, with a sneer on his face.
"Mr. Yu, don't blame me, my godfather said that he would reward a hundred taels of silver... When you are seventh, I will go to your spirit and burn it for you. ”
……
In the evening, Dingjiang Mansion, Fucheng West Lane.
A small wine shop, this wine shop just built a pergola on the side of the street, and three tables are placed under the pergola, this kind of cold winter. At this moment, there was only one guest, a young man in Tsing Yi, who was slowly savoring the two side dishes on the table, a braised river fish and a plate of stir-fried clams, but Xu Chuan ate different flavors.
"Guest, the duck breast you want." A lame young man walked out of the store with a piece of duck meat and carefully placed it on the table in front of Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan smiled and nodded.
"Second uncle, the dried fish is done." A little girl wore a padded jacket and walked next to the young man.
The young man rubbed the little girl's head lovingly: "Xiaoyun is so good, it's cold outside, go to the room to read." ”
At this time, a woman passed by on the street and grinned: "Wang Erlang, how good is the girl I told you that day, as long as you don't care about this girl, I will live with you immediately, you are good, I would rather raise a daughter for my eldest brother than marry a daughter-in-law myself, what a fool, you have inconvenient legs and feet, and there are not many people who are willing to you." I'm so old, and I'm still so stunned. ”
The young man glanced at the woman and didn't say much, but the little girl beside her raised her head: "Second uncle, is Xiaoyun dragging you down?" ”
The young man smiled and patted her little face: "Silly girl, I don't blame you, we are a family, of course the second uncle has to take care of you, others don't want to enter our door, look down on the second uncle, and the second uncle doesn't force it." ”
The little girl had a smile on her face and held the young man's palm: "Second uncle, when Xiaoyun grows up, earn money to support you." ”
"You, read well." The young man laughed.
Xu Chuan watched this scene.
The young man came over and gave Xu Chuan warm wine.
Xu Chuan saw that his palm was steady, and said with a smile: "Have you refined qi?" ”
The young man was not surprised, Xu Chuan's appearance was not like ordinary people, and he nodded and said: "When I was a child, I worshiped the Huayun faction and learned the inner family to refine qi, but unfortunately I was young and vigorous, and I came out to meddle in things, which provoked the Jiang family, made people discount one leg, and the sect was also expelled, isn't it ridiculous." ”
"Ridiculous?" Xu Chuan didn't know what to say.
Youthful blood? Is it ridiculous?
Is it ridiculous to act bravely?
Reckless, is it ridiculous?
Isn't it ridiculous?
"You cook good food, I want to do business with you." Xu Chuan said: "I pay for it, you open a store, and I share it equally with you." ”
"What?" The young man was stunned.
Xu Chuan took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table.
"It's... You... You don't know my name yet. Just do business? The young man looked at the thousand taels of silver tickets and felt like he was joking, how could there be such a thing.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Wang Erlang, Erzizi, I like to do business with Erzi." ”
Wang Jingxun is no longer at the age of high spirits, and when he heard Xu Chuan say this, he was not annoyed at all, but his mind turned, and he swallowed his saliva and said: "I'm afraid that I will lose your money, I can't afford to lose, and my niece is not worth a thousand taels of silver." ”
Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to what Wang Jingxun was thinking, and couldn't help but smile: "Where do you want to go, I just think the dishes you make are delicious, so I invested... Uh, forget it, let's put it this way, I'll buy your store, be the owner, you be the buddy, this will do. ”
"It's a good idea." Wang Jingxun smiled at this time. A penny is difficult for a hero, and raising a girl knows the importance of money. Find a gentleman, add some clothes, it's all money.
He knew that he had met a nobleman.
Xu Chuan secretly praised in his heart, this Wang Jingxun may not be as smart and scheming as Wang Jinghe, but he is upright and very motivated. As for Wang Jinghe's death, he also asked him to support him, mostly for his daughter.
At this time, a group of people in the distance walked through the street crying and shouting, and the neighboring people gathered.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? That's not the Yu brothers. ”
"Mr. Yu is dead."
"How did you die?"
"I heard that I fell into the water in the garden of Jiangfu?"
"What? Mr. Yu is a blind man, what kind of garden do you visit. I must have been killed..."
"Shhhh You mother-in-law, don't talk about it, be careful of being cut off by the Jiang family! ”
Xu Chuan sat in the wine shop and watched this scene as well.
