Chapter 570: Layers of Armor Breaking
Liu Tong's face was already purple than the eggplant on the vegetable stall at this time, and he couldn't wait to pick up two cabbages and stuff them into the mouths of these two people.
He has eaten too much recently, and his body is obese, and Mrs. Liu listened to Xiao Feng's bad idea, so she had to let him go out for a walk every morning and evening.
He thought that empty slipping was not like that, so he simply took the housekeeper out and secretly supervised how the servants usually bought vegetables, and whether they could guarantee freshness and cheapness.
Unexpectedly, eating melons and eating on their heads, they were dug up and whipped for no reason, these bastards still remember the events of the year so clearly!
"You're just a cabbage seller! Just sell your cabbage well! Don't sell cabbage, the heart of selling that! ”
"And you, you're a pawnshopkeeper, not a storyteller! What kicked open the door of my house, what scared me stupid, did I scare stupid so easily? ”
The cabbage seller and the pawnshop shopkeeper were all submissive, so frightened that they didn't dare to reply, only hated themselves for opening their mouths so long.
Liu Tong was not a cautious person, not to mention that he was more concerned about what Xiao Feng would do at this time, so he didn't care about the cabbage seller and the pawnshop shopkeeper.
He was really a little worried that Xiao Feng would smash other people's stalls in a fit of rage. It is very important to know that the reputation of officials is very important, and for the sake of this trivial matter, it is not cost-effective to lower the reputation of officials, and it will be used and attacked by political opponents.
The middle-aged Taoist priest probably didn't expect Xiao Feng to be so serious, so he had to make amends again and again, saying that he would never dare anymore, and asked to raise his noble hand.
Xiao Feng sneered: "I'm very reasonable, you can give me a hexagram." If you can have three points, I won't embarrass you. Otherwise, you'll roll up and walk away! ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest saw that this level was just no longer good, but he calmed down and saluted: "What do you want to ask?" ”
Xiao Feng thought for a while: "I chose an auspicious day for the zodiac to marry a girl." You'll do the math for me......"
The middle-aged Taoist priest hurriedly said: "Congratulations, congratulations, this is not even counted."
The adult and this girl must be in good harmony for a hundred years, grow old together, be lucky, give birth to a noble son early, be healthy, and live a long life......"
Xiao Feng said with a smile: "But this girl is dead, I'll let you help me calculate, the day I marry this girl, can she come back to life!" ”
The chatter on the main street stopped at once, and everyone was stunned, and then slowly turned their gaze to the fortune teller.
Everyone has the same idea, I don't know if the girl can survive, but this Taoist priest is likely to not survive.
The fact that Xiao Feng wanted to save Princess Chang'an was only circulated in the court, and the people did not know about it.
Although Jiajing did not order the silence, those officials naturally knew what they could not talk nonsense about.
This in itself is a matter of very little hope, but Jiajing and Xiao Feng both have a glimmer of hope. The ministers actually didn't believe that they could do it.
Therefore, at this time, who dares to go out and publicize this matter, in case it can't be done by then, no, there is a high probability that it won't be able to be done by then, and Banzai may be angry with others.
Many people have a superstitious idea, that is, a very important thing, if it is preached everywhere and it does not work out in the end, they will definitely feel that it is the result of those people preaching too early.
For example, Xiao Feng once liked a girl in his previous life, but he still thought about how to act, but he was exposed, and then he was politely rejected, Xiao Feng hated that troublesome guy for half his life.
The middle-aged Taoist priest was also stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, and it took a long time to confirm with Xiao Feng tremblingly.
"What the adults are talking about, is it a secret marriage? But my lord, you have a wife in your family, why do you want to marry in the dark? Besides, you're not sick, my lord......"
Generally, this kind of marriage is a dead person, or one of the parties is alive, but it is also in danger, so prepare in advance.
Xiao Feng shook his head: "If she can't survive, even if it's me, it's her wish." If she can survive, it will be my one more wife. ”
Liu Tong, who was far behind, breathed a sigh of relief, listening to Xiao Feng's meaning, even if the princess can survive, it will be the treatment of a flat wife at most, Xiaoxue is still a wife, very good.
He was worried about whether Xiao Feng had the final say in this matter, in case the princess disagreed, and found her own father to call the shots, that father-in-law was much more powerful than his father-in-law.
The middle-aged Taoist priest stubbornly asked the girl's birthday, and fiddled with it for a long time before wiping the sweat on his forehead.
"My lord, don't worry, this girl will definitely live, she will definitely live."
Xiao Feng looked at him with a smile: "Are you sure?" ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded firmly: "Poor Dao is very sure!" ”
Xiao Feng smiled: "Well, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day I welcome my relatives." If she survives, I'll help you get a piece of it.
If she can't survive, I will arrest you and put you in the Shuntianfu prison for the crime of pretending to be a Taoist priest and swindling, and I will beat you first! ”
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he took the pork liver and walked away. The middle-aged Taoist priest sat on the stall with a relaxed face and bought two meat buns to eat.
Everyone admired him very much when they saw him so calm: "It seems that although this person has no degree, it seems that he is still capable, you see how calm people are!" ”
At noon, everyone went to eat, and the middle-aged Taoist priest left the stall. I don't know how long it took, but no one returned.
A man who had just entered the city came to the pawnshop to make things, and when he heard the discussion of the crowd, he laughed.
"When I entered the city just now, I met the fortune teller you mentioned at the city gate, and as soon as he left the city gate, he fled in the wilderness, running faster than a rabbit!"
"Damn, that woman is estimated to be a grandmother, passing by the palace, running faster than a rabbit, and the crutches are flying, can this king still rob her?
Don't say that this king is not interested, even the two tigers of this king refuse to eat such an old bone stick! ”
King Hui scolded angrily, today he has been in ambush on the gate of King Hui's mansion for a long time, the binoculars are sweating, and he has not found a satisfactory woman to start.
His newly recruited escort team is gearing up, eager to make a contribution to his new master.
However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the wicked do not rob the ugly daughter, and King Hui has no goal, so they have no use.
In normal times, King Hui would lead a team to set off to expand the hunting range.
But not today, a piece of meat was bitten off by a woman on the inner thigh of King Hui, and it hurt very much when he walked, so he could only recuperate at home.
"What the hell, could it be that in this king's fiefdom, all the women died overnight? Aren't they going into the city, not working? ”
The housekeeper brought a cup of tea to King Hui: "The villain sent someone out to inquire, and now people inside and outside the city refuse to take the young woman out."
Originally, when I went out with my husband, father, and mother, I helped my family to help.
Now they'd rather take fewer things and make more trips than take them out. If the prince wants to rob it, he is afraid that he will have to smash the open flame.
But there's a reason why we didn't do this kind of thing before. Robbing people from the street into the palace, the distance is short, and there is no evidence left.
Even the magistrates dared to come to the door to inquire, and they did not dare to search the palace without a holy decree, let alone complain.
Even if you catch up with a bold magistrate and want to sue, but there is no proof of death, and the accusation of things without ironclad evidence is also a vain confession, and in the end it can only be stopped.
However, if you go to the city or the countryside to rob people, the journey is long and long, and if you are stopped by the magistrate on the way, everyone will get the stolen goods.
Although the magistrate didn't dare to do anything to the prince, this kind of evidence had accumulated too much, and if he met a stunned magistrate one day, it would be unfavorable to the prince. ”
A newly recruited Jiang Yang thief interjected: "My subordinates know that there is a place, which is not very far away, and the beauty is like a cloud!" ”
King Hui suddenly came to his senses: "Oh? Tell me, where? When the king changes the medicine, he can go on the road to catch it! ”
Jiang Yang thief smiled: "The original Yiwang Mansion, the current view of the WTO entry into Henan Branch." There are hundreds of beauties in there, all of whom were left by King Yi back then!
When I came to our place, I passed by King Yi's Mansion and secretly took a look at the wall, which was really amazing! It's not a loss, it's the remnants of King Yi's thousands of choices!
It's a pity that there are Taoist priests from Wudang Mountain in the WTO view, and there are many masters among them, so I didn't dare to see more for fear of being discovered. ”
King Hui suddenly lost his excitement: "Idiot! That's a fart! Not to mention who dares to attack the WTO entry concept now, long live the first one who will not spare anyone.
Even if it doesn't matter if you live it, the vassal king must report to the court before leaving the fief, otherwise he will be guilty.
Although this king has the privilege of entering Beijing at any time to offer medicine, it is only allowed to enter Beijing! You don't have to pass by King Yi's Mansion to enter Beijing! ”
After a day of guarding, King Hui did not find the prey, so he had to go back to the house. The robbed women were tired of feeding the tigers, so they had to find their concubines to vent their fire, and they were very passionless.
The two tigers walked up and down in the big iron fence, looking at the chickens and sheep cowering in a corner and screaming, they were also very passionless, and only when they were too hungry to stand it, they were willing to pounce on them and eat.
At this time, in a farmer's house outside the city, a hurried passer-by knocked on the courtyard door. The man trembled and asked who it was through the courtyard gate.
"Dude, I'm a merchant on the road, and I'm in too much of a hurry today, and I missed the time to enter the city. If you want to spend the night, I can give you some money. ”
"This ...... A few miles further on, there is an inn, why don't you go there and stay there? ”
"Dude, look at me, it's been a day, and I really can't walk.
If there is a small house, even if there is hay in the firewood room, it can be dealt with overnight. People who go out are not so particular,
If it weren't for the cold weather, I would have found a clean place to sleep in the open air! ”
The man looked through the crack in the door, and there was only one person, not strong and unarmed, so he opened the door.
"There's a spare room, so I'll get you a brazier." It's not that I'm not good-hearted and unwilling to make it convenient, but I'm really afraid. ”
"Afraid? Afraid of what? Let's say it's peaceful today, I haven't met mountain bandits and bandits along the way. ”
"Alas, our side is different from other places, there are young women in the family, whether they are married or not, life is very worrying.
You're a passerby, so don't ask so much, and I don't dare to say anything more to you. Live in this house, and I'll bring you a brazier. ”
In a few moments the brazier rose, and the man took two dry cakes from his baggage and roasted them on the brazier. Seeing this, the man went to boil water and made a bowl of egg soup.
The man nibbled on the cake, drank the egg soup, and took out dozens of copper coins and handed them to the man.
The man smiled and said: "It's convenient, you don't need so much, it's enough to give fifteen, it's just a charcoal money." ”
The man stuffed the money into the man's hand and whispered, "Take it, I just have something to inquire about."
To tell you the truth, I'm a seller of medicinal herbs. Your Hui King here, by paying tribute to the true bread, obtained the grace of long live, and the effect is extraordinary.
Many rich people in other places also want to try this. I have asked everywhere, but I have not taken the real bread.
That's why I came to King Hui's fiefdom to see if anyone knows who can get the real cake, and I'm willing to buy it at a high price. ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then a secret suddenly came to mind in his mind. He looked at the guest cautiously, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe the words of the Taoist priest.
"Guest, do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear lies? If you want to hear the truth, I'll tell you, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. ”
The man's eyes flashed slightly, and then he took out a small piece of broken silver from his bosom and handed it to the man.
"Dude, I came all the way here, of course I want to figure it out, otherwise how can I make money. Just tell the truth. ”
The man sighed: "Brother, in fact, this contains real cakes, which is really not so easy to take." It is said that the head is the Tao, but in fact it is all false!
I don't know about other people's families, anyway, when my child was born, the blood clot in his mouth had long since disappeared.
But after Wen Po came, she did Zhang Zuozhi's comparison for a long time. Don't let us see either. I also took this egg with me when I left, saying that I had taken it.
I wondered, did you get a ghost? But I don't dare to tell anyone else.
Those stable women want to take away the placenta, this thing is not wanted by the Huiwang Mansion, but the stable women will make it into a purple river car and sell it to a Chinese medicine shop.
But according to our custom, the child's placenta must be buried, otherwise the child will not grow up.
We didn't dare to offend Wen Po, so we had to cut a piece from the placenta, representing the entire placenta of the child, and buried it in the soil. Most of the rest is taken by Wen Po and sold for money.
But when I cut the placenta, I found scratches on the placenta. So I pondered, maybe the so-called real cake is actually pretending to be a blood clot on the placenta! ”
The guest listened silently and stretched: "Damn, I'll just say it, who can tell the difference between this blood clot and that blood clot." Anyway, those rich people are stupid and have a lot of money, so it's easy to do! ”
The next day, a merchant knocked on the door of a family in the city.
He said that the old lady in the family was sick, and the doctor prescribed a prescription to use real cakes, and he wanted to ask if there were any private private cakes with real cakes available.
He didn't knock on the door randomly, but knew in advance that the family had given birth to a child in the last year or two. The master was stunned for a moment, and said something similar to that of people outside the city.
A few days later, the news that placental blood replaced Hanzhen cake was reported to Jiajing through Lu Bingyu.
Jiajing's eyes were closed, his face was expressionless, but Tao Zhongwen, who was standing below, had sweaty palms and cold all over his body.
"Long live, although the news of Jinyiwei's secret visit should be true, the reason for this is that the real cake is fake, and the more suspicious person should be Wen Po.
Thinking that King Hui had just taken office, he was a little contemptuous of taking real cakes, and he was not as careful as the old King Hui, so that those stable women were bold and confused! ”
Tao Zhongwen's words made sense, and Jiajing also nodded slightly. Tao Zhongwen secretly glanced at Xiao Feng and saw that he didn't have a dissatisfied expression, and he was secretly relieved.
Tao Zhongwen risked offending Xiao Feng and spoke for King Hui, but the reason was not simple, there were at least two reasons.
One is related interests, one is lost, and one is prosperous, after all, he also needs to maintain his status as a real person with real cakes.
Second, Jiajing's complicated thoughts. The old Hui King has the grace of knowing Tao Zhongwen, at this time the old Hui King has just died, if the Hui King is in trouble, Tao Zhongwen will not say a word, but it may not be appropriate.
Jiajing is likely to feel that Tao Zhongwen is cold by nature and does not miss the old kindness. Such an impression is not a good thing, in front of the emperor, the first important thing is the impression, and the second is the ability.
Of course, if the news from Jinyiwei came back was that King Hui personally ordered Wen Po to fool Jiajing and deceive Jiajing, then Tao Zhongwen would not speak for him if he was killed.
In front of the emperor, it is one thing to show that you do not forget the old favor, but if you go too far and show that you value the old favor more than you are loyal to the emperor, you are looking for death.
This is the degree, not to mention an emperor like Jiajing, who is full of heart, is the most ordinary emperor, this degree must also be mastered, this is the basic skill of being a close minister.
To tell the truth, Tao Zhongwen was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this news in his heart, but this was something he couldn't say even if he was killed.
After all, it is a fact that the real cake fails, and the problem is not in the raw materials, but in the refining, and he didn't remember the old favor to the extent that he wanted to take the blame for King Hui.
There was only one question in his heart at this time: Could this news be deliberately spread by Xiao Feng? With Xiao Feng's resources, there is this possibility.
But if it really is, why didn't he just say that King Hui ordered the troublemaker, and leave King Hui a room to justify?
If King Hui admits his mistake in the book, saying that he is not strict in supervision and let Wen Po take advantage of the loophole, then the unlucky one is just Wen Po, although King Hui is guilty, it is not a big crime.
Then a flash of lightning flashed in his shrewd mind, shaking him all over, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide his horror.
This is Xiao Feng's cleverness! He deliberately left a way for King Hui to escape!
Xiao Feng must understand that King Yi Hui is so respected by Jiajing, if the crime is too big, it will be self-defeating! This is just like Xiao Feng dealing with Yan Shifan back then!
How much Jiajing trusts Yan's father and son, if Xiao Feng directly says that Yan Shifan is plotting rebellion, and there is no ironclad evidence, Jiajing will suspect that Xiao Feng framed Yan Shifan!
But Xiao Feng is like peeling an onion, every time he deals with Yan Shifan, he starts with his less serious crimes such as debauchery and perversion, corruption and perversion of the law, tyranny and murder, and manipulation of the prince.
Every time he attacked, he could peel off a layer of Yan Shifan's skin, making Yan Song's thick blood strip continue to bleed.
It wasn't until the end that Jiajing's impression of Yan Shifan was bad enough to accept any of his charges that he struck a fatal blow.
Yes, onions have been available in the Han Dynasty, but they have always been called shallots, and readers who want to find fault can save Baidu's time.
And Yan Shifan is also not fatal because every crime is not fatal, and he does not show the determination to fight to the death every time to get rid of the crime. In many cases, it is the lesser of two evils, and they admit the crime that they think they can admit.
This is boiling frogs in warm water, this is layer by layer of broken armor, this is rope sawing wood broken, water droplets piercing stones!
When the enemy is still strong enough, leave a door in the siege to prevent the enemy from forcing you to fight hard.
In his panic, when he saw that there was still a way to live, his first thought was not to fight hard, but to escape through that door.
The question is, what happens after you get out? Do you know what's waiting for you?
