154 The head of the Chang family is at the end of his life; The monks of Yuanwen Temple are in a miasma
Upstairs in the tavern, Chang Hanzhe was a little difficult to accept this cruel reality, he never expected that not only his mother was not a thing, but his father was also ......
Ye Ming still looked grinning, and patted Chang Hanzhe on the shoulder:
"If you want to open a little, there are more than two villains in your family, most of them are, you can't just blame the two of them!"
"Most of it is ......"
was so "comforted" by Yeming, Chang Hanzhe couldn't say a word, just silently.
Ye Ming saw that his "comfort" was effective, and nodded in satisfaction.
Hey, I'm just too kind, and these days, there are still too few good people who are willing to tell the truth.
After first aid, the head of the Chang family finally woke up.
Knowing that the eldest lady had been taken away by Princess Zhengwen, the head of the Chang family was furious.
It's just that there is no way to take Princess Zhengwen for the time being, and the head of the Chang family decided to solve the current matter first.
Changfu was burned down, and the damage was huge, but it was still within the acceptance range of the Chang family master.
The Chang family has a big business and can afford these losses.
The head of the Chang family led people all the way back to Chang's house and ordered people to dig on the ruins of the warehouse.
There is still a lot of gold and silver treasure in it, because it is all in the basement, and it will not be burned.
Even if it is burned, most of the gold and silver will be fine.
The head of the Chang family watched with a faint pain in his heart as people dug up the ruins, thinking about how to rebuild the Chang Mansion.
It's just that after a while, suddenly a family member shouted:
"Oh no, sir, the treasure is gone!"
The head of the Chang family was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed forward to find that the underground warehouse had no other traces of opening except for their excavation.
But there was not a single ingot of silver in it, and it was empty.
The head of the Chang family was blank for a moment, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned in place......
It took a long time for the head of the Chang family to accept this cruel truth.
"Master, what should I do?"
Now the people of the Chang family can be said to be really fluctuating.
The house was gone before, but it was actually okay, everyone knew that the Chang family would not fall so easily.
But now, the silver is gone, and the situation is different.
Seeing that everyone's attitude towards him had changed slightly, the Chang family realized that something was wrong, and patted his thigh and said:
"Don't worry, I still have a lot of land deeds, house deeds, and properties in my Chang family's name, although these bills have been burned, but there is a backup from the government, and I only need to apply for another certificate.
My Chang family, not collapsed! ”
Hearing the head of the Chang family say this, everyone's eyes lit up, and it seemed that the Chang family had indeed not collapsed.
At the same time, many people's careful thinking has also been temporarily extinguished.
Although the deeds of sale of some of their domestic slaves were burned, the government still had stubs, and they could also be reissued.
With the status of the head of the Chang family, this kind of thing can naturally be done easily.
The stakes were so high that the head of the Chang family did not dare to delay and decided to go to handle it in person.
went all the way to the government office and personally met with the prefect of Zhengwen Mansion to explain the matter.
Who knew that the prefect said with a look of embarrassment that just last night, the government's case vault caught fire, and a large number of contract stubs were burned.
Among them, including the various contract stubs of the Chang family, the prefect is now also worried about this time.
After listening to what the prefect said, the face of the head of the Chang family changed greatly, and he realized that all this was a trap.
He immediately locked the murderer as, his son who had no sense of existence, and the blind man who cured his hidden disease!
There is no doubt that these two people are the most suspicious, and they immediately asked the prefect to mobilize the forces in the city to arrest these people.
However, the prefect informed that recently, all the combat forces of the Zhengwen Mansion have been transferred to emergency training and preparation for war, and there is no time to rush around for the affairs of the Chang family.
The head of the Chang family thought that this was just a pretext, and promised benefits to the prefect.
But the prefect told me that this was true, and the recent movements in Chenzhou were strange, and Shou Guogong personally summoned the news to put this side on guard.
This is not a trivial matter, and Lord Zhizhou attaches great importance to it, and personally orders the soldiers to assemble and train for wartime.
Hearing what the prefect said, the head of the Chang family was also surprised.
"Is the one on the border going to ......?"
"The head of the Chang family said cautiously, after all, the matter has not happened yet, and you must not be suspicious of the generals of the country."
After the prefect nodded, he said that he could issue wanted warrants for Yeming, Chang Hanzhe and others, but the matter of arresting people needed to be handled by the head of the Chang family himself.
When the head of the Chang family got this result, it was already good, and he knew that he couldn't force it anymore, so he went down.
It's just that he didn't organize people to deal with Yeming and the others at the first time, but was thinking about how to deal with the next thing.
The eldest son he values the most, who is now editing in the Hanlin Academy in the capital, is not his own......
This is really too big a blow to the head of the Chang family.
The most important thing is that this matter has been well known, and it will not be long before the matter will spread all over the capital.
Then......
The head of the Chang family couldn't even think about how to deal with this matter.
In short, although the head of the Chang family hated Yeming and Chang Hanzhe very much now, he didn't have time to target them.
In the end, only a bounty of 1,000 taels of gold could be issued to arrest people......
Looking at the newly posted wanted notice on the city wall, Ye Ming smiled and pointed to the wanted notice and said:
"Chang Gongzi, look, this painting is quite similar."
The two people in the portrait are indeed a little like the two of them, and I have to say that the painter still has some skills.
"Mr. Yang, I'm suddenly so confused now......"
Chang Hanzhe felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't care about being wanted at all, he just frowned.
"Confused about what, it's okay to recite Buddhist scriptures, and when you realize it, you will naturally think about everything."
Ye Ming didn't want to understand Chang Hanzhe's thoughts, so he said a perfunctory sentence and pulled him away.
After a while, the two came to a no-man's road, and the disguised tile appeared here.
"Mr. Yang, I have burned all the cases and treasury of the government office, and everyone in the Chang family is now free, and it is estimated that many people will flee if they have the opportunity."
"I know, but I don't care about this, but what happened to the eldest lady after she was taken away by Princess Zhengwen?"
"Brought directly into the mansion, it doesn't seem to have abused the eldest lady, I don't know how to deal with it."
Wa Shangfei didn't dare to sneak into the princess's mansion, so he could only peek outside.
Yeming nodded and said with a smile:
"Then I'll just wait and act after dark."
Chang Hanzhe, who was originally reciting scriptures to adjust his mood, heard the words and looked at Yeming:
"Mr. Yang, what else are you going to do?"
"It's nothing, it's just to see the eldest lady."
Chang Hanzhe knew that Yeming was not telling the truth, but he also knew that he couldn't stop what he was going to do, so he didn't say anything more, just continued to chant the scriptures......
Miss Chang and Mai Sui rode on the back of a donkey, leisurely strolling through the streets of Zhengwen Mansion.
It was the first time she had done this, and everything felt so fresh.
It's just that I'm still a little worried about my mother's situation, and I ask Mai Sui from time to time.
Mai Sui calculated the time and felt that it was almost over, so she took Miss Chang to find Yeming.
Successfully found Yeming and the others, Yeming arranged for Miss Chang Xiao, Chang Hanzhe, and Wa Shangfei to wait in the inn, and he and Mai Sui went over to see the situation.
Miss Chang couldn't help but be a little scared in a suddenly unfamiliar environment, and didn't want Mai Sui to leave.
Fortunately, Chang Hanzhe was there, which persuaded her.
Seeing the two leaving, Miss Chang looked at Chang Hanzhe and asked:
"Brother, is something big happening to the Chang family?"
Chang Hanzhe didn't know how to answer Miss Chang for a while, so he could only be silent.
......
In the princess's mansion, the eldest lady was fixed on the seat and was looking at Princess Zhengwen with an angry face.
Princess Zhengwen didn't have her at all in her eyes, but said to Master Zhise:
"You say, what's there to see about her?"
Master Zhise folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name, but did not answer.
"Jise, you dare to betray this palace!
This palace has said that you monks can only be the forbidden body of this palace, and you dare to betray this palace!
also instigated Bengong to come forward to save her, what crime should you be guilty of? ”
"The poor monk is guilty."
Master Zhise pleaded guilty as usual.
But the eldest lady looked at Princess Zhengwen with a surprised face:
"You still have a relationship with other monks?"
In response to the eldest lady's question, Princess Zhengwen folded her hands and recited the Buddha's name:
"My Buddha is merciful, color is empty, this palace just saw that this group of monks was not even allowed to touch a woman, I felt pity and sympathy for them."
The eldest lady was very mentally unstable and said:
"In other words, you raised a monk from a temple to live happily in front of you?
Hahaha~~ I thought what I was doing was already a non-woman's way, but compared to you, it was still too far behind! ”
"What do you know, you are just an ordinary fool, how can you understand the infinite mysteries of the Dharma."
Princess Zhengwen's eyes were confused, and her face was yearning, and then she said,
"If you dare to have an affair with a monk who is favored by this palace, I will spare you.
It's just that my Buddha is merciful and can't kill and see blood, so I will punish you to stay in the secluded room for three days, and life and death will depend on your life. ”
As he spoke, he recited the Buddha's name again, and asked the eldest lady to take him down.
The eldest lady's spirit was already a little crazy, and when she was taken down, she laughed non-stop, as if she was crazy.
When Master Zhise saw that the eldest lady was taken away, he wanted to speak again, but he didn't dare to speak after all.
"Zhise, don't you intercede for her?"
Princess Zhengwen asked, staring at Master Zhise's face.
"Color is emptiness."
That's what Master Zhise said.
"Very good, if you dare to intercede for her, this palace is reluctant, and I will send you to see my Buddha in advance."
Princess Zhengwen said, looking like a devout Buddha, and said to Master Zhise,
"The new people in this palace sent a Buddha statue, pure gold and jade, placed in the bedroom of this palace, you can go to enjoy it with this palace."
Master Zhise nodded, and he was about to go with him.
As soon as he took a step, Master Zhise's expression moved, and he looked back at the outside of the mansion.
"Your Highness, it seems that the matter of enjoying the Buddha statue will need to be later."
Princess Zhengwen looked outside and didn't find anything unusual, but she still nodded:
"I'll go first."
Then go inside.
Master Zhise walked all the way out of the princess's mansion and came to an elm tree outside the mansion.
There are usually no furnishings here, but at this time there is a table and two stone benches, and a pair of Go is placed on the table.
At this time, a blind beggar in tattered clothes was holding a bamboo stick, sitting on a stone bench, and "looking" at Master Zhise with a smile on his face.
Master Zhise stepped forward, saluted the man, and sat on the stone bench opposite.
This person is naturally Yeming, and it is quite interesting to "see" at Master Zhise's eyes.
"Master, are you practicing 'Joy Zen'?"
Master Zhise shook his head and said:
"The so-called Joy Zen is just the method of the evil demons, not the orthodox Buddhism."
"Then why is the master like this?"
Hearing what the other party said, Yeming was a little curious.
Master Zhise's expression didn't change much, as if he was talking about someone else's business:
"At that time, I was young, I couldn't hold back, I moved my mortal heart, and I committed a sexual precept."
"Oh, in this case, it won't affect the entire Yuanwen Temple, right?"
"Your Royal Highness, she is lustful, not satisfied with one person, and oppresses people with power, and the monks of our temple have to obey.
Among the people, the poor monk has the best skin, so he has to accompany His Royal Highness to prevent disasters for the monks. ”
"But she still goes to Yuanwen Temple from time to time."
"We can't escape this."
Ye Ming laughed at Master Zhise's statement, pointed to the chessboard in front of him and said with a smile:
"Master, why don't you talk about a game?"
"Good."
