Chapter 4: Angels
The two senior brothers of the Dushan Sect, the senior brother Zheng Shulin is the first disciple of the third generation, and like Luo Xiandi, they are all in the Qi Refining Perfection Realm, and they are only one chance away from building a foundation, and the junior brother Li Man is in the Qi Refining Initial Realm, with reckless qualifications, but for some reason, they are very popular with Zheng Shulin.
When Gu Zuo was just taken in by Wang Daochang, he saw a fight between Li Man and Wang Daochang, Li Man was very embarrassed at that time, and later pulled his senior brother Zheng Shulin to Xiaogushan to vent his anger for him, Wang Daochang endured to make amends, and finally did not fight, but the beams on both sides were knotted.
Luo Xiandi waited for the two brothers and sisters and asked Gu Zuo, "Why did Xiao Gu come over today?"
While speaking, Zheng Shulin and Li Man had already approached, and Gu Zuo didn't know how to reply, but said embarrassedly: "Senior Sister Luo, my family's royal Taoist is going out......"
Li Man took over the conversation next to him: "What kind of Wang Daoist? Isn't it all sentenced in the county, Wang Hengyi is a fake Taoist and a fake Taoist, and the Hengyi Pavilion has no license, and it has long been closed by the six doors! Wang Hengyi is going out and is obviously absconding in fear of crime!"
Luo Xiandi looked at Gu Zuo with a surprised face, and then at Li Man: "Really?"
Li Man said with a smile: "Wang Hengyi escaped, but he threw him down, was caught in the yamen and eaten and hanged, fortunately, Xiao Gu is just a boy who serves people, and he doesn't know anything, so he released it again...... Senior Sister Luo doesn't believe it, Ming people don't say secret words, this matter is what I reported to Longrui Palace, otherwise there may be how many people have been kept in the dark by their Lu Ye Xiu and cheated out of money!"
Luo Xiandi frowned: "Okay, let's say a few words, Xiao Gu is also a poor person, he was deceived by Wang Daochang and Wang Hengyi...... Xiao Gu is here to tell me about this?"
Gu Zuo smiled and nodded: "Yes......"
"Nothing else?"
“...... No ......."
"If you have any problems, come back to me. ”
"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister Luo. ”
Li Man sneered on the side: "Senior Sister Luo...... Senior Sister Luo is also your name?"
Zheng Shulin tugged at Li Man's sleeve: "Say a few words." Senior Sister Luo, let's go, and we have to rush to the Zhuji Hui Doulan Pavilion Gate, this battle is related to the reputation of the Shanyin Cultivation Sect, and we can go early to recuperate. ”
The three of them left, and Luo Xiandi turned around: "Xiao Gu, remember to find me if you have any difficulties." ”
Gu Zuo clenched his fists and bowed.
On the way back, Gu Zuo stopped in the field and looked at a few farmers who were holding bowls of rice porridge in the field. A few farmers talked and laughed about the good scenery since the beginning of spring this year, but they didn't notice Gu Zuo on the ridge, and Gu Zuo went back.
He continued to inspect the fish basket under him in the Ruoye Creek, but still found nothing, and he walked along the stream for half an hour, but there was not a trace of fish and shrimp.
The next day, Gu Zuo went to Jinghu and came to find the owner of the Pingtai Pavilion, Yuan Daochang, who also came by coincidence, and happened to see Yuan Daochang and several wealthy businessmen in the county talking at the door, so he stood still far away.
After talking for a while, several wealthy businessmen entered the Pingtai Pavilion, and the original Taoist stopped outside the door for a moment, shook his head and turned around, and saw Gu Zuo.
He was stunned, and slowly walked closer: "Shanyin has been in the past five years, and in the end, only Xiao Gu came to see me, the people are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold......"
Gu Zuo didn't feel very good, and asked, "Yuan Dao Chief...... Where is this going?"
"Pingtai Pavilion is out of my hands, I'm going to go to the south to see, Jiangnan is good, but the cultivation world is lifeless, I used to say that I wanted to leave, but now I have suffered such a thing, alas, I really let it go. What are Xiao Gu's plans?"
"That...... How much does Pingtai Pavilion bid?"
Yuan Dao Chang suddenly looked vigilant: "What does Xiao Gu mean?"
Gu Zuo said with difficulty: "After the head of my family is gone, there is nothing in the hall, this time I came here to see with you, can you pay back a little money you owe us? Even if there is no 800 Wen, 500 Wen...... A hundred words is fine...... What about fifty or ten?"
The original Taoist chief said with an angry face: "Some time ago, in the prison, in front of all the Taoist friends, the poor Dao had already cut off his robe with Wang Hengyi. Do you understand cutting off one's robe and severing one's righteousness? All the previous grievances and hatreds have disappeared!"
Gu Zuo sighed: "Yuan Dao Chief, it seems that kindness and debt shouldn't be confused, right?"
Yuan Dao Chang suddenly smiled: "What I just said is just one of them, and second, the debt between Poor Dao and Wang Hengyi that day was not a personal agreement, but an agreement between Pingtai Pavilion and Hengyi Pavilion, now that Hengyi Pavilion is closed, Pingtai Pavilion has also been sold, and the agreement is naturally gone." Xiao Gu, if you really want to clarify this old debt, you might as well go find them, they bought the Pingtai Pavilion, and naturally they will have to bear this debt, don't you say?"
Pointing to the businessmen in several counties inspected in the museum, the original Taoist patted Gu Zuo's shoulder: "The poor road is the most reasonable, do you say this is the reason?"
Gu Zuo suddenly felt that the original Taoist was so reasonable, and he couldn't refute it for a while, endured the unbearable hunger in his stomach, and watched the other party Shi Shiran leave with a bitter mouth.
After walking for a while, the original Taoist turned around and beckoned to Gu Zuo: "Xiao Gu, when I go to the south to stand on my feet, I will pass the book to you, come and help me when the time comes, and we will participate in the grand event together!"
Returning to Xiaogushan weakly, Gu Zuo was already hungry, his mind was buzzing for a while, and he was just staring at the little civet cat under his feet in a daze.
After being stunned for a long time, he gritted his teeth, tied up the little civet cat, took out half of the old ink in his house, turned it into water, dipped it in the only remaining bald pen, and began to color it according to the lines of the raccoon cat in the He family in his memory......
It's out, what a love!
The three-day appointment has arrived, and the He family's old house.
Young Master He Fu hunched his waist and looked down at the caged civet cat carefully, and after looking at it for a long time, he asked the scholar He Zhu: "Is it?"
He Zhu blinked: "Look...... Seem...... Well...... Xiao Gu Daochang said that what he found was this one, yes or no, we have to see for ourselves, if not, return the cat to him, and he will continue to look for it. He also said that tanuki should not go near water, otherwise they will be lost. ”
"Don't go near the water?" He Fu began to pace around the bamboo cage, paced twice, and ordered: "The two cats are locked together." ”
The two tanuki were in a cage, and they got along well, and He Fu muttered again: "Little bamboo, do you think so?"
He Zhu said: "The little eyes are clumsy, I can't understand ......"
"What about Daoist Gu?"
"I'm waiting outside, and I don't know if I've been guilty of looking for a cat in the mountains, and I'm almost finished eating a plate of baked cakes for him...... Does the young master want to summon him in for questioning?"
He Fu put away the fan and said, "It's also hard...... Let's do it first, I see. When will it arrive, bamboo, you go to the front yard and ask. ”
He Zhu rushed away, and soon came back to report: "Yesterday's letter, saying that it has arrived in Yuhang, and the Lu County Order said that it will arrive in about two days, and there are already people waiting in the yamen at the county border. ”
Hearing this, He Fu nodded and stared at the cat for a moment: "Let's do this first, young master, I just said yes." ”
He Zhu asked, "Gu Zuo is still waiting outside, young master, look?"
He Fu thought for a while and said, "Reward him with a lot of money, so that he can do his best in the future." ”
Lingcheng from Chang'an arrived in Shanyin County three days later, and asked the secretary of He, who had resigned and returned to his hometown for a year, and his 80th birthday was also the meaning of His Majesty's concern for the ministers.
It is said that Bian Lingcheng lived in the old house of the He family for seven days, and forwarded the birthday gifts given by His Majesty and Niangniang to the secretary of He.
The feast was held for seven days, and Gu Zuo on Xiaogu Mountain was hesitant and anxious for seven days. I heard that this cat was given by the mother, I don't know if I will ask to watch it? I don't know if I will be exposed on the spot? If it is exposed on the spot, what should I do?
When he was hungry and desperate and was forced to be helpless, he thought about it when he was hungry and helpless, and when he thought about it after filling his stomach, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he once had the idea of absconding overnight, but luckily he still let him stay.
On the day Bian Lingcheng returned to Chang'an, the crowd on the Xijiang River surged, and the Shanyin magnates and Wuzhong clans all bid farewell by the river.
Gu Zuo had the courage to gather in the crowd and look at it from afar, and saw the burly Bian Lingcheng, the old and dignified Eunuch He, the personable Taishou and the county commander of Tuan Tuan, the two sect masters of the Liulin Sect and the Dushan Sect, and the young master He Fu who followed behind the Secret Eunuch He, and couldn't see his face clearly, but he vaguely seemed to be laughing loudly.
Looking at it like this, it seems that everything is fine, but Gu Zuo, who has had seven days of panic and anxiety, has already made up his mind to leave Shanyin immediately when he has saved enough money for the journey.
The He family is not only a big clan in Sanyin, but also a well-known magnate in the world, once this matter is exposed, the consequences are not at all something that his small body can bear.
How much money can be saved and leave? Two hundred wen! He Fu still has half of the 100 wen he paid, and he will run away if he earns it within ten months, and in half a month or a month, the ink color he has painted should not fall off immediately, of course, provided that the tanuki does not play in the water.
In addition, I also hope that He Fu will not play around with the cat, and it will be troublesome to rub off the black ink.
The day after the angel left, Chen Liu and Jiang Qi came to the door, it was still Chen Liu who was talking to Gu Zuo, Jiang Qi stood outside the firewood with his hands in his hands, and his eyes patrolled back and forth to prevent suspicious people from approaching.
"The angel is gone, and the Dao Master of Longrui Palace has also gone back, congratulations to Xiao Gu, your Huaixian Pavilion can be opened. Chen Liu paced back and forth in the courtyard with a smile: "Wang Hengyi ran away, so he didn't leave anything for you?" ”
Gu Zuo was helpless: "Except for this courtyard, it is a white field." If the sixth brother falls in love here, he will give it to the sixth brother for a price of two hundred wen, how about it?"
Chen Liu scoffed: "You are in the wilderness, who is rare? You don't want to be next to it, no matter how broken the yard is, it is a good family, good to live and operate, it is not impossible to reproduce the prosperity of the past." ”
Gu Zuo rolled his eyes and waited for Chen Liu's next step.
