Quanzhou city is very prosperous, the material life has been satisfied by the people naturally began to pursue spiritual needs, relatively relaxed speech is the best soil, Quanzhou people's gossip spirit flourished, from the powerful to the beggars have their own circles and topics, as long as you don't explain the forbidden topics, don't do stupid things like insulting the saints on the street, there will be no officials to arrest you.

This kind of environment has created a large number of storytellers, from the restaurant teahouse to the noodle stall tea stall on the street, they can be seen, and even the drunken brocade building, Ningxiang Pavilion, etc., have hired a few storytellers, but no one in the industry can afford them.

Without him, although the storyteller has no fame, he is also a reader, and he can't do this business without ink in his stomach, and the readers are all high, and it's okay to go to the Qinglou to buy laughter, sell laughter?

Lose face!

Poor and starving to death can't pull that cheek!

A large number of storytellers make the pressure of competition rising, in order to grab the rice bag and keep the rice bowl, each of them has hollowed out the old and brought forth the new, from the serious official history to the anecdotes, from the gods and demons to the parents around the people, as long as someone loves to listen to it, there is no one they dare not say, which greatly enriches the spare time life of the people of Quanzhou.

One of the most famous and popular is "The Story of the Sword Marrying Relatives", also known as "The Story of the Sword Marquis Robbing the Family", which tells the story of the Sheng family lady who Feng Moxiu married.

Note that this is being passed on, and there are more that have been lost, someone once made a statistic and found that the reasons for the discontinuation of those lost versions are different, but a large part of them have one thing in common - directly or indirectly smearing Feng Moxiu, and holding it worthless for the Sheng family and Miss Sheng family.

As a result, the existing versions also have one thing in common - boasting, but boasting vigorously, boasting to death!

Regardless of whether your cause and effect are unreasonable, the structure is uneven, whether there are sick sentences or not, that's not the point, the point is just one sentence - Master Jian is really great, and Mrs. Sheng is really happy!

As the child of the two, Feng Zhiping did not escape the fate of "writing a book into the biography", just after the full moon, he was compiled into the self-compiled "Tianyuan Era" character chapter by a certain anxious old gentleman, juxtaposed with a group of old ghosts and dead ghosts, and said in a eulogy-like tone in an old-fashioned voice in the library: "The Feng family has a son, his name is Zhiping, when he was born, the sky fell from the sky, the clouds covered the sky, the sun and the moon had no light, the cicadas within a radius of ten miles did not know how to sing, the water did not know the flow, the fish did not know how to swim, and then the thunder flashed, and the five thunders hit the top!"

Feng Zhiping accidentally learned about this when he grew up and was dumbfounded.

It is true that the day he was born was indeed cloudy, and I heard that there were a few drops of rain and stars, but in the blink of an eye, it was clear, where did the thunder come from!

There are also five thunderbolts, why don't you say that the young master directly let the thunder split to death!

He believed that the old man was not intentional, maybe it was just to rhyme and stir up the atmosphere, so he didn't notice it for a while, but in any case, the old man disappeared a few days after that day, no one knew where he went, no matter how concerned he was, he wouldn't ask, and everyone tacitly forgot about this person, as if he had never existed.

Because of this incident, Feng Zhiping's "book" also followed Feng Moxiu, but he praised it vigorously, what to buy candy for the little brother to eat (he cried) to help the old grandmother cross the ditch (he dug it) for the weak woman to come out (Qinglou fights for the Oiran) and beat other people's pants angrily on the street (those people provoked him, Wu Dong's hand) is too numerous to mention, it is really impossible to make it up, the template is easy to find, just follow the Feng family's eldest young master.

Everyone knows what's going on, just listen to it, and no one will really believe it.

Over time, he gradually became the most "beautiful" boy in Quanzhou City, and the return rate of going out was quite high.

Seeing him show something good, he deliberately teased him with the apocryphal stories in the book, who knew that he was not annoyed or ashamed, he responded with a smile, and responded happily when he was interested, and asked the source to listen to it in person, gradually, everyone found that this prince is really a good character, as long as he doesn't touch the bottom line, he is very kind to everyone, so the jokes about him are more and more bold.

In the storyteller's mouth, he has been a fairy, a demon, a demon and even a woman, and the past and present lives and even the next life are clearly arranged, and the various versions add up to surpass his father in a crushing situation, up to more than 60 kinds, and they are still increasing.

This time he returned home safely, and the happiest were his parents, followed by the storytellers who pointed to him alive.

God knows how much their business has been bleak during the period when the prince is away, because they were kidnapped and disappeared, so they don't dare to make up jokes like "escape from the tiger's mouth", "violent bandits" and "righteous rivers and lakes", in case the prince is really killed, their blessed jokes will soon become a steel needle to stimulate the Hou Ye and his wife?

Fortunately, the prince is back, and the business can reopen.

Not only the previous business, because of Feng Zhiping's "illness" on the street and the subsequent news and the attitude of the Hou Mansion, the scale of their jokes was greatly relaxed, and those who did not dare to say it were gradually put on the table, and they did not dare to say it directly, but anyone can figure out the meaning - the sword marquis, I am afraid that it is going to change the world.

The book is practical, without the absurd joy of fairies and demons, it looks very heavy.

The hearts of those who speak and those who listen are incomprehensible, with expectations and rejoicing, as well as shame and distress.

Seriously, everyone wants to change their lives, they have thought about it for a long time, it is about their future life, no one wants to entrust their future and the future of Quanzhou to a person who only knows how to have fun, and no matter how confident people are, they have lost their minds in Feng Zhiping's consistent performance.

But as far as Feng Zhiping is concerned, they are undoubtedly distressed.

The three children of the Feng family, the eldest son Feng Zhili and the second son Feng Zhiyou were all adults when they came, and many people have been in contact with them when they walk around the city on weekdays, and everyone likes them very much, or trusts them very much, but a considerable number of people can't like them and get close to them as much as they like Feng Zhiping.

The reason is actually very vulgar, because in the eyes of these people, these two people are not real Quanzhou people.

Only Feng Zhiping is!

Feng Zhiping was born here and grew up here, and everyone grew up little by little.

He's messing around, he's naughty, but who doesn't have a skin boy?

If he hadn't been born in the Jianhou Mansion and was born as the son of the Jianhou, but was born in a smaller gateway or even an ordinary people's house, everyone believed that he would have lived well.

Having to take on those responsibilities and pressures that he can't afford, he will definitely live a better and happier life than he is now.

How...

Everyone seems to have changed him, this is selfishness, but what they accuse, complain about and even hate is a little child, a child who grows up little by little under their noses, but anyone with a little conscience will feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, every storyteller who talks about it will tell it in a heavy tone.

Except for a few radical ones who "uphold the heart of the sword marquis", the rest of the whole article is asking questions, asking themselves, asking the audience, is it appropriate, fair, and forbearing?

The trend of public opinion has quietly changed, and unlike those in power who have reached an agreement because of "careful consideration" and "near and far worries", the people have begun to have the voice to speak for Feng Zhiping.

When the folk arguments were still surging undercurrent, and the two factions of "Baoping" and "Baoping" had not yet exchanged fire, a fire in the Jianhou Mansion ignited this powder keg in advance.

Many people have seen the fire that night, and the deepest impression is undoubtedly the fire tornado that went straight into the sky, and the ancestral hall can be said to be normal, but the pillar of fire is obviously man-made!

Those who have entered the outer mansion of the Hou Mansion recognized the fire point at a glance - the ancestral hall of the Feng family.

The first reaction was how the ancestral hall could catch fire, followed by a shock, and his face changed drastically.

The prince is locked up in the ancestral hall!

Hou Ye is so ruthless that he wants to burn him!

It's no wonder that these people are pondering, but in fact, the only person in Quanzhou City who has the courage and ability to release such a monstrous flame is the Red Sword Marquis!

The fire lasted until the second half of the night before it gradually went out, and no matter how unbelievers were, they had to believe that the Red Sword Marquis really killed his own son!

If not, how could the fire of the Hou Mansion burn half the night?

That's the ancestral hall of the Feng family, and the people below are not dead, who would dare not put out the fire without the order of the Hou Ye?

In the hearts of Quanzhou people, Feng Moxiu has always been strong, wise, and righteous, but this fire has burned his incorruptible image of King Kong out of cracks. Nine-zero look

It's just a change of son, why kill someone, that's your own son, the only son-in-law!

The whole world knows how much you love this child, and you dare to pretend to be affectionate?

This is even more poisonous than You Jingen, the fourth prince who was once suspected of attempting to kill his brother!

The four princes are just suspicious, and the six princes are not dead, and in the end, they can't find evidence to prove their innocence with the Tianyuan sword.

It's too ruthless, it's too desperate, the tiger poison doesn't eat children, and the sword marquis can do such a poisonous hand!

Thinking of Feng Zhiping's voice and smile, some guys with a strong sense of justice got together to discuss whether to go directly to the yamen to beat the drum and voice grievances, completely tearing apart the vicious face of the Red Sword Marquis.

Before they could discuss the results, the Hou Mansion spread the news that the ancestral hall was choked by the smoke, and now it has been treated and improved, thanks to the neighbors for their help, this matter has been done by the Hou Mansion, so I won't ask you to help fight the fire, everyone disperse.

In the end, all the people who rushed to the door of the Hou Mansion with buckets got a red envelope, and the housekeeper Xu personally led someone to send it, and the words were also said in person, with a very kind smile, but outsiders were not allowed to ask questions.

A group of people dispersed in joy and confusion, but their hearts were relaxed.

The prince is not dead, the marquis of the sword is not poisoned, everything is made up, this is the most reassuring and exciting news.

But immediately after, another argument quietly flowed - why didn't Feng Zhiping die, wouldn't everyone worry if he died?

It is true that the Sword Marquis will be resisted by the people, and the officials will also attack on a large scale, but what is this, is he afraid?

Rong Ma has been fighting for decades, his family business is fought with real knives and guns, and it is defended by his strength and subordinates, and a little public opinion can only make him annoyed, how can it shake his foundation?

To sum up, Feng Zhiping is still dead, and everyone is relaxed.

There is no doubt that the people who said this were beaten, and a few of them were even taken to prison and questioned on a certain day.

The "survivors" saw that the signs were wrong, and quickly changed their tone with an idea, omitting the latter words, and only asked the first sentence - why didn't Feng Zhiping die?

Feng Zhiping is a cripple in the sky, he doesn't know how to do internal strength, so the fire fists and kicks are useless, he should be burned to death.

What, the sword marquis saved?

What kind of character is Jianhou, if he wants to save Feng Zhiping, he will definitely not be able to lose a single hair, how can he be "choked by smoke" and have not woken up yet?

What, the sword marquis went late, and it was the guards in the palace who saved him?

That's even weirder.

It is said that the guards are the closest people to him, and they should be extinguished as soon as they find a fire, instead of waiting until the fire is big to risk their lives to rescue, not to mention that they didn't find out, there is more than one guard, and each of them is a master.

To sum up, there is a big inside story about this matter, and it is extremely scary to think about it.

It's a terrible statement, and it's hard to refute because it's so strange.

All kinds of speculations emerge one after another, but none of them can justify themselves, so after two times, a family member who was present that night was drunk and said that he leaked his mouth, saying that he saw the prince that night, and his appearance...

Man is not like a human, a ghost is not like a ghost, he is a monster!

Don't blame Jia Ding for losing his words, he was so scared, Feng Zhiping's image at the time The guards were afraid of him, not to mention that he was an ordinary person, he didn't dare to sleep for two nights in a row, he had nightmares when he closed his eyes, and he couldn't stand it, so he ran out under the pretext of taking leave to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, but he caused a big disaster and shook the matter of sealing out.

The people present were slightly stunned and then laughed in unison, all expressing disbelief.

Yes, there are a lot of "fairy and demon allusions" in the world, but they are all made up, listen to it, how can you take it seriously!

The family was drunk and courageous, and when he saw that people suspected him of lying, he was immediately angry, stepped on the stool with one foot and slapped the table with one hand, and shook most of what he saw and heard that night.

The fate of the family is not asked, the people present were dumbfounded, and turned their heads to tell others, one pass, two, two, three before dark spread all over the city, with false rumors The content is deflected but the core has not changed, and almost everyone knows about it within a day - Feng Zhiping, the son of the Sword Marquis, is a monster!

Hearing this news, many people believed it on the spot, because there was too much "evidence".

Why did the prince suddenly go crazy before he even entered the door?

Why was the prince locked up in the ancestral hall as soon as he entered the door, and outsiders were not allowed to contact him?

Jian Hou really wanted to kill him, just wipe his neck with a sword, why bother to make such a big scene, even the flames that soared into the sky were used?

He clearly wanted to burn Feng Zhiping, or burn the monster attached to Feng Zhiping's body, and save his son!

The most terrifying thing is that the monster didn't die, and it didn't even burn to death with such a big fire!

Even the Hou Ye has failed, who else in the world can restrain that monster?

When everyone's hearts were miserable, someone suddenly spoke, saying that there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is true that Hou Ye is a martial arts master, but he is not a celestial master who exorcises demons, of course this kind of thing has to find an exorcist to do!

After hearing the great joy, everyone wanted to go to the Hou Mansion to support the recruitment, but thinking about the "enthusiastic people" who had been beaten, they hesitated again, and decided to raise money to do it themselves.

This is no longer the Hou Mansion's own business, there is no monster in the world that does not harm people, it is not only the Hou Mansion that suffers, but the next one to burn is his own house, so those who don't feel sorry for money have to do their best, the more money, the better, please ask the most powerful heavenly master to subdue demons and eliminate demons!

"So, I've become the public enemy of the whole city?" Feng Zhiping pointed to his nose, looked at Niu Chunhan kneeling in front of him, and secretly said in his heart that telling stories is still something that Lao Niu tells is comfortable to listen to, and Xiao Tao's girl He only feels sleepy.

Niu Chunhan smiled bitterly: "Young Master, do you want to subordinate them to suppress them?"

"How can you press it? Soft or hard? The people's hearts are like water, but they can carry a boat or overturn a boat, and this matter can't be suppressed at all!" Feng Zhiping waved his hand, picked up a lychee and peeled it slowly, "They are willing to go with them, as if they can enter our door." I'm curious about who they invited, and that's not a small amount of money, and I want to find someone to pretend to be an exorcist to make this money. ”

"The subordinates are willing to go!"

Niu Chunhan volunteered, Feng Zhiping threw a roll of his eyes: "Pull it down, I can't find you by anyone, there is a mirror over there, you can look at it yourself, see which point of you look like a master in the world?"

Niu Chunhan laughed twice and asked, "Young Master, what should I do later?"

"Cold salad. The lychee was thrown into his mouth, Feng Zhiping chewed it playfully, and said vaguely, "Go and check who is invited, and whether there are any masters." I was a little unconfident by the old man, so I just used them to practice my hands. Heh, let their dreams come true this time, and send them to heaven one by one!"

"Yes!" Niu Chunhan replied, smiling fiercely.

Exorcism?

Act recklessly!
