Chapter 54 Escape to the Troubled Waters

The five finger marks on the left cheek of Squid Tingwei made Squid Lord dare not go to the court, nor did he dare to work as a director, so he had to ask for leave of absence saying that he was bleeding from his stomach, and he had been staying in the house to recuperate. Even if Squid is recuperating at home, he is afraid that others will see the disgraceful five finger marks on his face, so he uses a cloth towel to cover it from head to chin, just like the dress of the wolf grandmother in a children's book, ugly, nasty, and disgusting.

A fat colleague asked with concern, "Squid-sama, what's wrong with you?"

Squid Tingwei said embarrassedly: "This, toothache, tooth swelling, yin deficiency tooth disease caused by too much liver fire. "Ah, I see, I have a post here that works for a long time. "The fat colleague actually knows it, but he just doesn't say it. So offer unilateral to show care.

Squid Tingwei said that he had a toothache, but he had to pay attention to what kind of unilateral side it was: "May I ask my brother in the same year, what is the effective unilateral prescription that can cure toothache?" ”

The fat colleague said perfunctorily: "Actually, it's very simple, just if you have five or seven peppercorns in the toothache, it won't hurt if you have a numbness." ”

I've tried this one-sidedly, but it doesn't work. Squid Tingwei said. "There is also a unilateral treatment for toothache that is particularly effective. Said a colleague.

Squid Tingwei asked in a mocking manner, "Brother of the same year, what kind of prescription?"

The fat colleague said: "Eat the stewed meat at the root of the dog's buds, go to the fire and have a toothache and tooth swelling, and the soup will be dispelled by the fire, it will be fine in two or three days, Lord Tingwei might as well give it a try." The fat colleague said fiercely and seriously.

Squid Tingwei pretended to be very convinced and said, "Thank you for your concern, I will do it unilaterally." ”

That slap was really solid enough, and it took thirty-seven twenty-one days for the five finger marks to fade from the left cheek and return to its original appearance. But Squid Tingwei still habitually touched his left cheek from time to time, and it seemed that there was a real tooth pain there. He was discouraged at the thought of it, and he knew very well that there was something even worse waiting for him. If he goes to the Dragon Court to go to the court, those colleagues in the Dragon Court, don't look at the usual kissing and affection for you, set almost, call you brother and brother, before the adult, after the adult, once you have something, you look at these chameleons who chew the root of the tongue, changing color so quickly, absolutely make the authentic chameleons ashamed, and worship them as masters. You see how they will use long guns and short cannons behind their backs, add oil and vinegar, spit around, point fingers, and say that this old pervert, how to pick flowers everywhere, stir up grass in all directions, look for red and ask willows, stay overnight, and in the end they have to look for women from good families, but they can't get fishy, half of their face is swollen and high, they can't see people, and they smell bad, etc. Although Squid Tingwei's skin is thicker than the Chengqiang crutch, he still feels a little numb in his heart, after all, people's words are very terrifying, and he also knows that many Dawan stars have been drowned by spittle. There is something worse than this, which makes his hair stand upside down and his vest chill when he thinks about it. Princess Ao Yue already knew that his love for torturing the princess was completely fake for public benefit, and the revenge of the big snake and the hatred of her mother's slap were superimposed on the general account, and they were all counted on the big snake. The big girl is the true love of his baby son Young Master Squid, how did he get a poisonous hand, and the torture finger was stamped. He was also a little hesitant at the time, but the demon in his heart finally prevailed: "Small is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband!" That's why in the end, he ordered to torture the ice beauty. Who knew that instead of stealing chickens, he ate rice, and was caught by the princess. This is worth it, above the court, dare to fake the public for personal gain, coerce and vent personal anger, break the rules and regulations, and the crime cannot be punished. It is unknown what the princess will do with him, but the princess's willow moon chasing sword hangs over his head, and it may be cut down at any time. Do you sit back and wait for the princess to be killed, or do you want to escape? This is a choice that must be made quickly. I'm afraid it's too late, and I can't keep my head when it's late. How can we escape? "The rivers and oceans under the whole world are the world of dragons, and there is nowhere to escape! If we flee to the land, what will we do? The shallow bottom of the dragon is still played by shrimp, not to mention that your old turtle crawls to the land, isn't that tantamount to looking for death! What should I do? This fatal question has been haunting his mind, making his head big and about to explode. This question is too important and too fateful, and for the first time in his life, he feels that he has no tricks, his knowledge is shallow, and his brain is useless. This knife and pen are still sharp for others, and they have no tricks for their own cases, and they can't solve it. It would be nice to have a military advisor, a courageous man, a think tank or a close friend to give yourself a golden idea. However, after so many years of being a court lieutenant, he has been handling cases cruelly, and he has long been notorious for being a 'cool official', and everyone has been offended, and his former classmates, colleagues, and friends are afraid of getting close to him, playing strangely, and staying away, where are his friends and iron buddies? He sighed deeply, and pinched his temples that were about to explode with his two index fingernails.

At this time, suddenly a familiar hoarse voice sounded in the ears of Lord Squid: "Brother Squid, what's the matter, how anxious you look?" But this Taoist is yin and yang, mysterious, and the water is very deep and difficult to grasp, so he usually doesn't dare to say hello and stay away. But at the moment, there were no outsiders present, and it didn't hurt to talk to him out of politeness, he thought. So he politely said: "The Taoist chief came to the cold house, and he missed the welcome, forgive the sins, forgive the sins." ”

Only then did the invisible Daoist appear and said, "Lord Tingwei is too polite, and the poor Dao is just a monk who is nothing." "The Taoist chief is too modest, and no one in the Long Court knows that Mr. is the national teacher of my king, and he enjoys the treatment of a distinguished guest. "Squid-sama is telling the truth.

Who knew that the invisible Daoist waved his hand again and again: "Lord Tingwei, this is wrong. “

Lord Squid didn't understand: "The Taoist chief has won the trust of my king, and it can be said that he obeys his words, wants the wind to be windy, wants the rain to be rainy, and favors the ministers." "Wrong, wrong, Lord Squid is very wrong:" The invisible Taoist shook his head again and again.

"What's wrong?" asked Squid-sama tentatively.

The Invisible Daoist said: "The adults only see the glamorous and lively side of the poor road, and do not see the bitter and cold side of the poor road. ”

Lord Squid was a little unconvinced, but said, "That's because the Taoist chief pursues ideals too much, and pursues high realms too much, right?"

"What high realm, it's just the same wish of ordinary people, what high realm?" the invisible Taoist smiled bitterly.

What kind of bitter water did the invisible Daoist want to pour, Squid Tingwei could guess that eight or nine would not be far from ten, but he pretended not to know anything: "The old man doesn't understand, my king relies on the Taoist so much, and the Taoist chief is in power to the government and the opposition, what else is wrong with it?" You see that the king is very good to the poor Dao, but in fact, he is just a fake good, and he just uses me to sell his life to him. "The Taoist poured out a stomach full of bitterness and resentment. It is unfair for the Taoist chief to say this. My king truly respects the Taoist. Captain Squid said this intentionally.

The invisible Taoist is not a melon, so he followed the squid's train of thought: "Lord Squid, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, which one does not know, which one does not know, my invisible Taoist has risked my life several times to save the king in danger and save the king's life." Isn't that so?" This is there for all to see. Squid Tingwei agreed. "But what has the king done to me?" The more the invisible Taoist talked, the more angry he became.

Lord Squid said: "The king is good to the Taoist, it can be said that he is obedient." ”

The Invisible Daoist was angry from his heart and said, "What is all the obedience?" The Invisible Daoist said in a disdainful tone: "I didn't even do it, I didn't agree, and I said that I was obedient." ”

Lord Squid wanted to ask from the side, "What do you mean by this?"

The invisible Daoist looked around at no one, so he said mysteriously: "The king originally said that he wanted to give the most precious treasure of the Poor Dao, but when I showed it to him, he slipped away again, do you say that you are enough friends?"

Squid Tingwei's attitude was very ambiguous, and he said: "The national teacher must have misunderstood, and he can make it clear to the king again." "I couldn't have made it clearer. As soon as the Invisible Daoist mentioned this, he felt panicked, very stuffy, and annoyed. "The national teacher is not easy to speak, and the words do not reach the meaning, so there is no effect. "Squid-sama said very aggrieved.

The invisible Taoist changed the subject: "I know that you are the important minister of the Dragon King, 'the king told the minister to die, and the minister had to die', and the only minister is to defend the king." "That's it. Squid-sama had no choice but to admit it. "Now we're not going to talk about that, we're going to talk about you. The Invisible Daoist changed his words. ”

"I'm fine, good and decent. "Squid-squid pretends to be cool.

The Taoist stared at Squid Tingwei with a sharp gaze and scolded, "Lie!"

With a scolding, Lord Squid was shocked: "What kind of lie?" You will have a disaster of blood and light, a disaster of death, do you really not know or do you not know?" The invisible Daoist forced his gaze at the other party. "I'm going to kill myself?" Lord Squid was already frightened into a cold sweat when he heard this, he knew the energy of the invisible Daoist, he didn't say anything, he must have heard some information. "Yes!" Although the voice of the invisible Daoist was hoarse, his tone was firm and powerful. "What should I do, the national teacher, save me. Squid-sama pleaded. "Poor Dao is here to save you. "The Taoist is very steady.

"That's great, thank you for the rescue of the national teacher. Squid-sama bowed deeply. "Excuse me, excuse me, I haven't written a word yet. "Taoists are not rude, and they are not in a hurry.

Lord Squid was very anxious and pleaded: "National teacher, saving people is like fighting a fire, the sooner the better." "This matter cannot be rushed, and if it is in a hurry, it will be a bad thing, and there is a very good saying, it is called 'if you want to hurry, you will not reach', and this is the situation. "Taoists have the leisure to sell culture.

This knife and pen who has been harming people all his life, today he met a master and a teacher: "What does the national teacher mean to come slowly?" It's okay for adults to understand it this way. The Taoist said leisurely, "Take your time, I'm afraid my squid will already fall to the ground, because the opponent won't take his time." "Captain Squid is very worried about the fate of his head.

"Of course, it's also possible. But it doesn't work to be anxious, the more urgent you are, the faster the squid will fall. "Whether the Taoist is selling Guanzi or not, I don't know very well.

Lord Squid could hear it anxiously: "What does the national teacher mean by taking his time? Lord Squid's murder is a big thing that shocks the Dragon Court, because you are a member of the Dragon Court, not a seven-rank sesame official, and rescuing you is a big project of the system, and it can't be accomplished overnight, right, Lord Squid?" The Taoist is very reasonable. Squid Tingwei nodded again and again: "The old man listens to the national teacher, and what the national teacher says is on the outline." "Squid Captain has never been more honest than he is now.

The Taoist expression was very solemn: "In the final analysis, it is up to you to save yourself."

Lord Squid didn't understand, and was confused: "What does the national teacher mean by this?"

The Taoist coughed, cleared his throat, glanced around, and saw that there was no one else, so he said: "To rescue you, you need to actively cooperate." ”

"This is a matter of course, please rest assured. Squid Tingwei said

The Taoist cheered up Squid Tingwei: "As long as Lord Squid is determined, Poor Dao will rest assured, don't be half-hearted." ”

"National teacher, please rest assured, the old man has been in the dynasty for twenty or thirty years, and what he has done is strong and decisive, how can he be a mother-in-law?"

"You don't want the golden cicada to come out of its shell in this matter, it's not enough to pay close attention to it, you must actively participate in it. Although we know that opportunities and challenges coexist, we may succeed or fail. You have to be mentally prepared. ”

"I prepared for the worst, even at the cost of breaking the net, and asked the national teacher to tell me all the details of the plan, and the old man would mobilize all forces to participate. "Squid Tingwei thinks that he is ruthless, calculating, and quite proud.

But the Taoist did not think so: "The words of the adults are bad, and they are very wrong. ”

"Wrong?" said Squid-sama.

The Taoist said, "Lord Squid, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the safer it is." ”

Only then did Lord Squid suddenly realize that he had made a low-level mistake of a truly mentally retarded type: "What the national teacher said is extremely true, the old man is eager to do things, and he has forgotten this basic principle, which is really stupid to the extreme." ”

At this time, the Taoist noticed a figure shaking outside the window, and shouted, "Who?" No one responded. The Taoist immediately jumped out of the door to inspect the situation, but there was nothing, only to see a familiar figure in the distance that had faded away. The Taoist hurriedly returned to the house and did not forget to close the door.

Lord Squid was very nervous and asked, "National Teacher, who did you see?"

"Nobody saw anybody. The Taoist said lightly.

The Taoist person's nonchalant appearance made Lord Squid's hanging heart fall with a bang, and said, "It's good that no one eavesdrops." ”

"I saw a figure in the distance, familiar. The Taoist added coldly.

"Who?" Squid-sama's newly lowered heart was suspended again.

"It seems to be a noble son. The Taoist said.

"Oh. The heart that had just been suspended was put down again: "My son passed by here, it's okay, let's continue to talk." ”

Out of caution, the Taoist beckoned Lord Squid to come closer. Squid-sama hurriedly approached. The Taoist covered his mouth with his hand and whispered in the squid's ear for a long time.

As the Taoist spoke, Lord Squid nodded again and again, and said again and again, "Okay, okay, that's the best." ”

After attaching the ear, the Taoist added: "For the sake of safety, the adults will not come forward for the time being, and the poor Dao will take care of everything." ”

Lord Squid was more relieved, so he politely said: "I'm ashamed, I made the national teacher work hard." ”

The Taoist behaved freely and said, "It doesn't exist, for our common goal." After a pause, the Taoist said in a hoarse voice: "Lord Squid, for the sake of safety, you'd better avoid the limelight, beware of the princess sending someone to arrest you, the limelight is over, I will inform you, you come out again, and you will shoot when you should shoot." ”

Lord Squid said with a sad face: "If you don't hide it from the national teacher, the old man has nowhere to hide, otherwise he would have been hiding a long time ago." ”

The Taoist thought for a moment and said solemnly: "There is a place called Muddy Water Pool, you can go there and hide." Immediately, with a finger of his hand, a dangerous mountain appeared in the distance, and from the steep mountain, a torrent roared and rushed down, forming a turbid deep pool.

Squid-sama was overjoyed when he saw it.

The Taoist said, "It's absolutely safe there, and no one knows." ”

Recently, there has been so much chaos in the Long Court, Princess Ao Yue is in a bad mood, and it is difficult to calm down and play a few tunes well. Thinking that the case of torturing the big girl was not yet over, Princess Ao Yue had not finished playing the song, so she stood up and wanted to go out for a walk, so she walked out of the Qin Palace.

The big and small dragons were on duty, and when they saw the princess coming out, they hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.

Xiao Crane greeted: "Where is the princess going, slave maid, please wait for you." ”

Ao Yue thought for a while: "Little Snake, you keep your house, Big Snake will accompany me for a walk." ”

The little snake replied, "The slave obeys." A hint of imperceptible displeasure flashed across the pink face.

The big girl Pei walked leisurely with Princess Ao Yue, and the big girl asked, "Princess, where are we going?" The princess said.

The big girl had a sad face: "Princess." She stopped talking. "Big Girl Girl, I'm here, don't be afraid. "Princess Gong Aoyue knows the thoughts of the big snake, and she is afraid that she will be embarrassed to see the squid. "I'm just going to take a look at Squid Tingwei, after all, he is an old minister of our Long Court, and he has done a lot of work for Long Ting, of course, there are many mistakes, as long as you know that you can change it, there is no merit, there is still hard work. "Yes, the princess has always been kind-hearted. "The big girl is very sensible.

"I'm going to see if Squid has forgotten my big squid girl?" quipped the princess.

As soon as the princess mentioned the squid, the big girl turned red: "Princess, look at what you said." “

Princess Ao Yue deliberately teased the big girl and said, "Then we will not go to the Tingwei Mansion instead." "Wherever the princess goes, the slave and maid follow." Although the big lizard girl said this, she actually didn't mean it. "It's hard-mouthed. The princess glanced at the big girl.

The big girl didn't open her mouth.

Soon after the master and servant spoke, they arrived at the gate of the Tingwei Mansion, and the doorman hurriedly knelt down to greet the princess: "Her Royal Highness the princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Princess Ao Yue said to lead the way. The family will promise: "Obey." ”

The group went straight to the middle hall of the Tingwei Mansion, which was empty. ”

"What about people?" asked the princess.

Only then did the big girl shout, "Someone!"

After a long while, an old housekeeper came out of it, and when he saw that it was Princess Ao Yue, he hurriedly knelt down: "Lao Er should die, I don't know that Her Royal Highness the princess has arrived." "Flat, don't blame those who don't know. Why can't you see Captain Squid?"

The old butler said in a trembling manner: "Your Royal Highness Princess Qixuan, Lord Tingwei has not been seen for several days. "Where have you been?" The princess asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess Qijuan, the old slave really doesn't know"

"A big living man is gone, and you won't look for it?" the princess did not understand.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Qijuan, I have found all the places I can find, but I can't find it. Besides, where the old man is going, he won't tell the old slave. ”

"Princess Ben doesn't believe it, will the squid court be able to evaporate from the world?" Princess Ao Yue wondered.

The old slave also wondered, how could the old man disappear. The old butler said. "Where's your young squid master?" Princess Ao Yue asked.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Qijiao, Young Master Squid has gone on a trip. The old butler replied.

Princess Ao Yue: "Let's go back." “

The big girl said, "The slave obeys." “

The princess asked, "Lady of the Flag, do you think this is a little strange?" "Yes, Princess." Squid Tingwei plays missing, it's really weird. "What do you think?" asked the princess.

The big girl pondered for a moment: "Did you run away?" "Why did you run away?" Ao Yue didn't understand.

"Maybe it's a fear of crime and absconding. The big girl said, "What kind of crime are you afraid of?" said Princess Ao Yue.

The big girl interpreted it this way: "He knows the law and violates the law, abuses the punishment, and uses his power to avenge his personal revenge and vent his personal anger." “

Princess Ao Yue nodded again and again, and at the same time was also very angry, and said: "Originally, I said that I was an old minister, and I planned to be lenient, but now I am afraid of the crime and absconded, I want to continue to fight against the Long Ting, let him escape, let him escape to the ends of the earth, and he will also be arrested." ”
