Chapter 248: Blood Silk
Hearing Lao Long's description of the "bald spy", Ji Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"Although I said it seriously, Master Huitong also has real skills in the end, the Dharma is profound and has merit to protect the body, and he has the luck of turning evil into good fortune. ”
Fortune is a thing that is high and low, sometimes it seems very mysterious, even if it is a person who cultivates immortals, he can't grasp it all, but there is a saying that merit can help luck, the more pure merit that is not mixed with too many desires, the more so, Ji Yuan is also very willing to believe this.
Monk Huitong is meritorious, and relatively pure, most of them are the results of his participation in one puja and sincere prayer to eliminate disasters, and there are also some meritorious deeds for the transcendence of some unjust souls and ghosts, or with Buddhist scriptures, or with the magic of King Ming, anyway, it is excessive.
Therefore, Ji Yuan feels that this monk's fortune will not be too bad, as long as his mental quality is passed, he will not jump too out, which is also very reassuring.
When Ji Yuan's thoughts seemed to drift through Tingqiu Mountain with the wind, the old dragon on the side looked at the mountain and looked at the friends on the side.
"Mr. Ji, I heard that you have a fairy sword trick, called 'Heaven Tilt', it is rumored that once this sword trick comes out, there is the power of the sky and the earth, if you don't have a state of mind to resist the sky, you are powerless to face this sword power......"
The old dragon paused at this point before continuing.
"Today I came to this Tingqiu Mountain again, I wonder if Mr. Ji can let the old man see it?"
Ji Yuan's eyebrows jumped twice, Lao Long wanted to learn from himself? This kind of joke can't be made!
"Nothing subtle, just a trick to scare people, Mr. Ying should not take it seriously on hearsay, bluff the foreigners dare not enter Dazhen lightly, oh yes, this Jinzhou Tingshui County has a kind of local wine called 'knife burning', the taste is acceptable, I slept for more than half a year after drinking it last time, and now I want to come and I can't get enough, just go to buy some. ”
Ji Yuan smiled as if he was self-deprecating, and after saying a few words, he turned around and stepped on the clouds to leave, and directly vetoed the proposal that the old dragon wanted to see.
Lao Long saw that Ji Yuan had already left, and he had no choice but to keep up, this kind of thing can't force others, in his impression, although Ji Yuan is free and easy, but he is a serious person, he still temporarily extinguished this idea.
This sword momentum is very mysterious, and the old dragon is already very interested, especially when he sees this Tingqiu Mountain God today, and understands that this mountain god is by no means an ordinary person, he is even more curious about how powerful the so-called "sword out of the sky overturned" is, and whether he can bear it.
It's a pity that he just opened his mouth to see it, but Ji Yuan depreciated himself and diverted a few words from the topic, which also made Lao Long regret and couldn't help but reverie, I am afraid that this sword technique is too powerful, and it is inconvenient to use it in this golden state at this moment.

On the other side, about the time of a cup of tea, at the foot of a certain mountain north of Tingqiu Mountain, a puff of smoke and dust filled the mountain soil after it flowed.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the monk Huitong and the mountain god of Tingqiu Mountain behind him were revealed.
The latter pointed to the mountain stream in the distance ahead and the mountain village road where smoke rose from the side.
"Master, we have set foot in the Tingliang Kingdom, this is the Nanyue Mansion, and we can enter the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Tingliang Kingdom all the way north. ”
"Good Great Light Buddha, thank you for the mountain god's send-off, the little monk is going!"
Monk Huitong made a Buddhist salute to the mountain god, and then walked forward without looking back with a Zen staff.
"Master and slow!"
Hearing the mountain god behind him calling himself, Monk Huitong turned his head to look at the mountain god suspiciously, and saw that the latter stretched out his right hand and spread his palm, revealing a small orange-yellow stone on it.
"Can you lend me the master's bead chain?"
Is this to give me something?
Monk Huitong thought for a while, took off a string of Buddhist beads around his neck and handed it over.
The mountain god took the beads with his left hand, and as soon as he held the palm of his right hand, the yellow pebble in his hand became round, and then pressed his thumb on one of the beads on the string of beads.
"Pak~"
The bead fell from the beads, flicked on the ground and was grabbed by the mountain god, and then returned to Monk Huitong along with the string of beads that had been replaced with a bead.
"Master, this is the earth stone, also known as the mountain god stone or the earth stone, perseverance so that the earth escape spirit talisman can have a good help, and the crushing of it has a strong earth spirit atmosphere, easy to attract a land or mountain god to come, with this earth spirit gift, or can make it help you. ”
"Mountain God Stone, thank you Tingqiu Mountain Mountain God for the gift!"
Monk Huitong once again bowed sincerely, and then took the Buddha bead and brought it back to his neck, and at the same time carefully put away the fallen one.
"Okay, please take care of the master, Hong has taken his leave!"
Seeing that the monks were ready, the mountain god arched his hand and disappeared directly into the ground.
Looking at the direction in which the mountain god disappeared, the monk sighed.
"Hey...... Even the mountain gods want to send treasures to me, I hope that the monk and I can turn evil into good fortune!"
"Jingle Bell ......"
The copper ring on the Zen staff rattled, and the monk straightened up and walked towards the outside of the mountain, first going to the mountain village.
。。。
On the tenth day of the ninth month, only one day after the Double Ninth Festival, on the surface, when Emperor Yuande was still discussing alchemy with the heavenly masters in the court, an incident happened that had a great impact on the court.
Not long after the new Shangshu's right servant shot Chen Yuhe, he angered the saint because of his pampering, and was directly sent to the prison of the Criminal Department.
For a while, Chen Yuhe, who had just been promoted from the position of governor of Wanzhou, was originally expected to be promoted to prime minister in the future, and became a sinner.
Later, there were rumors that Chen Yuhe actually confessed some secrets of Wanzhou in the prison because of his inner fear, but not only did he not be exempted from his own punishment, but made the Son of Heaven Long Yan furious, and he was directly removed from all his official positions and removed from Shangshu Province.
This not only made the government and the opposition talk and speculation, but the news was transmitted back to Wanzhou, making countless officials in Wanzhou nervous and unable to sleep at night, Chen Yuhe didn't know how many times he was scolded in private, and how many times he was stabbed a straw man.
At night on October 12, the backyard of the Lishun Mansion in Wanzhou.
Yin Zhaoxian was walking around with the baby in his arms and playing with the baby, while his wife sat on the bed and looked at her husband and child tenderly.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Master, the prefect of Yunbo Mansion is visiting, can you see you?"
After the knock on the door, it was the voice of Yin Zhaoxian's confidant.
Yin Zhao handed the child to his wife first.
"Madame takes care of the child, I'll go see Lord Zhao. ”
"Hmm!"
Yin Zhao nodded first, then turned around and walked over to open the door, and what appeared in front of his henchman was his master's confident smile.
"Let's go, go meet Lord Zhao. ”
As soon as Chen Yuhe had an accident in the capital, the news was also very sensitive, and it immediately made Wanzhou's officials, especially those who were corrupt, unable to eat.
When most of the secret letters sent to the court were lost in the sea, and the few who received the reply were also unknown, many people thought of Yin Zhaoxian, who was deeply favored by the emperor.
Sanyuan and the first are even the three yuan, deeply valued by the emperor, the future prime minister's talent, this time also received a lot of benefits from Wanzhou, Wanzhou officials think that they are also familiar with the Yin prefect.
It's just that Yin Zhaoxian has been avoiding it before, and this time the prefect of the capital of Wanzhou has also come secretly, and it is almost time.
In the living room, in fact, there was not only one person from the prefect of Yunbo Mansion, but also a few other officials who "coincidentally" came to visit, in addition to a few county officials from Lishun Mansion, there were also several officials from Yunbo Mansion.
The sound of Yin Zhaoxian's footsteps walking briskly echoed in the corridor, which also lifted the spirits of everyone in the living room, and they all said, "It's still Lord Zhao who has a big face." ”
"Lord Zhao has been waiting for a long time, and Yin is taking care of his wife and children...... Uh, your lordships are there too?"
Yin Zhaoxian's voice came in with the people, and it seemed that he had only found out that there were so many people when he entered the hall.
"Hello Lord Yin!" "Lord Yin, you're finally here!"
A group of officials stood up and saluted.
Yin Zhaoxian looked frowning and embarrassed, and the clear-eyed person seemed to be the person who originally only wanted to see Governor Zhao, but finally sighed and sat down.
"In the first autumn, take someone to watch the surrounding affairs of the hall, and no one in the house is allowed to approach!"
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing Yin Zhaoxian's subordinates go out with this kind of order, everyone except for Zhao Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief and had some kind of expectation.
A few oil lamps illuminated the hall with lampshades, and Yin Zhaoxian and Zhao Zhifu sat on the head.
Yin Zhaoxian stared at the crowd with uneasy or expectant expressions.
"I also have some connections in the court, and Lord Chen's affairs in the court are ...... It's very bad, although it can be said that it is only his side of the story, but what should be said and what should not be said, he said a lot......"
"Chen Yuhe, this wolf-hearted brute!" "Damn it, he eats the most, but in the end he sells us!"
"Hateful!"
......
"Don't be impatient, Yin said, this is just Lord Chen's words. ”
"Oh, it's all at this time, Lord Yin, you still call Chen Yuhe's beast an adult?"
"Yes, Lord Yin values love and righteousness, but friendship can't be given to the wrong dog!"
A few officials on the side really couldn't help it, even Governor Zhao.
Yin Zhaoxian sighed on his face, and sneered in his heart, his friendship was really not easy to give.
"A few adults, in the past, there were inspectors who came to Wanzhou, in addition to giving benefits, in fact, he couldn't find anything, even if he was suspicious, there was no evidence, plus someone in the court helped to speak, most of them were fine, but this time it ......"
Yin Zhaoxian said bitterly.
"This time it's Lord Chen, it's Chen Yuhe's mouth, this is really... Even if there is no evidence, I can't stop the emperor from starting to believe it, even if we are all innocent, it will not be good if we don't drag some people into the water. ”
Seeing that several people were frightened, Yin Zhaoxian continued to work harder.
"It's not a secret, the emperor still trusts me, yesterday Yin received a secret letter from the emperor, asking me which officials in Wanzhou are corrupt, and ordered me to collect evidence, and then I will send an inspector to come. ”
Speaking of this, Yin Zhaoxian took out the yellow silk scroll with the jade seal in his arms, and the officials on the side reflexively clasped their hands.
Yin Zhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.
"Chen Yuhe actually has a conscience, he only said that two percent of the officials in Wanzhou are greedy for ink, and this time the emperor is angry, so I asked someone to fill the hole of these two percent......"
The more Yin Zhaoxian spoke, the quieter his voice became, and he had already narrowed his eyes.
"There is a saying called preemptive strike, and there is also a saying called falling into the well! Everyone, I, Yin Zhaoxian, don't want to be among the two percent of officials!"
A group of officials looked at the jade seal mark on Huang Juan, and their faces were cloudy and uncertain and looked at each other.
Instead of trying to fight alone, it is better to drive tigers and wolves to fight each other, this is still a strategy that Yin Qing discussed with his father in private before he left Wanzhou.
In fact, Chen Yuhe only confessed to a few people in the prison of the Criminal Department, including him Yin Zhaoxian himself, which is naturally not enough, even two percent is far from enough......
In the following two months, the entire Wanzhou was shrouded in a dark cloud, and the officials of the Wanzhou family, who were originally united, were used by Yin Zhaoxian to form a small group of people who were in danger and hated each other.
At the end of the year, the imperial court's powerful inspection team arrived in Wanzhou, and at the same time, a group of masters sent from the imperial city secretly arrived at Lishun Mansion and reported to Yin Zhaoxian.
Before the end of the first month, six out of ten officials in Wanzhou officialdom were gone, and each county even needed to use adjutants such as the chief secretary to perform their duties, which is known as the "bloody silk case".
