Chapter 31: Sai Zhuge
Maoshan Mountain, Shangqing Palace.
"Master, I'm back!" As soon as the stone entered the small courtyard, he shouted loudly, and the old dog leper ran over when he heard this, and surrounded the stone to spread joy, and the stone also happily stroked its body that was no longer leprosy, and the leper kissed and licked, and the stone finally got rid of the entanglement of the leprosy and came to the main hall.
Lao Dao Liu Guquan is arranging the tablets of the ancestors of the past dynasties behind the main hall at the moment, dozens of tablets need to be reordered, straightened, it looks like an attack, heard the stone called, hurriedly greeted it, saw the stone returned to Maoshan unscathed, and suddenly with tears in his eyes, he hugged the stone.
"Stone, why have you been gone for so long, but you are in a hurry to die as a teacher!" Liu Guquan burst into tears.
Shi looked at the master and smiled, took out the talisman seal letter from the coat, and handed it to the master, "Master, the things have been retrieved, and also, Zhang Guan Zhu greets you." ”
"Okay, good, apprentice has worked hard. Liu Laodao took the seal letter, checked it, and made sure that there was no problem, so he put it in his arms, "With the seal letter, I am not afraid of those ruffians to make trouble." ”
"What kind of ruffian?" Shi asked as he sat on the bench, and when he saw that although the layout in the hall was not much different from when he left, there were a few broken corners of the table, and even the door had a few scratches, he was taken aback and asked, "Master, what is going on here?"
Liu Laodao told Shi about the trouble that a group of ruffians came to the door a few days ago.
It turned out that a group of ruffians had recently appeared in Jurong City. There are as many as 30 people, headed by Liu Dingmu, the little son of Liu Yuanwai's family, all of whom are unlearned and unskilled, idle people, who do everything except good things, greedy for money and sex, rampant in the township, bullying and dominating the market, doing all kinds of evil in the county, as if they have become a tyrant, relying on Liu Yuanwai and the county order to have a little friendship, even the government also turns a blind eye to their actions, and the people are even more hateful to grit their teeth, but no one dares to provoke, because they often gather crowds to make noise, like a piece of rice in general, so the people call them a piece.
One day, this group of scoundrels wandered outside, blackmailing money, the merchants and people in the county, who saw and who hid, these people went shopping for a day, they were stunned that they didn't open, they couldn't take advantage, the filmmakers were not interested, they walked around, and somehow they came to Maoshan Mountain.
Liu Guquan was busy preparing the items for Zhaijiao in the courtyard, and he didn't notice that a group of ruffians came outside the door and stared at him.
In the group of slices, there is a small man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, about thirty years old, wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a long gown, holding a white folding fan, looking like a Sven, in a group of vulgarly dressed slices team, it also looks very fresh and unique.
This person's surname is Du, a single name is a clear character, he has been mixed in the beggar group since he was a child, he showed his face when he grew up, he was a running hall in the Qinglou, he carried a teapot, he was used to walking in the rivers and lakes, he was rich for a long time, he was proficient in all kinds of indiscriminate roads, and he was good at countless tricks and abductions.
"Young Master Liu, the opportunity to make a fortune has come!" said Sai Zhuge Duming to a man who looked like a noble son in a brocade dress.
This son is not very old, less than twenty years old, his body is fat, especially the big head, like a pig's head by mistake, there is a lawless chaos between his nose and eyes, he was born in a rich family, pampered since he was a child, and treated the servants and servants at home as pigs and dogs, learned nothing, befriended Du Ming and other ruffians, and regarded Jurong County as a shop opened by his own family, and took it if he wanted to, and smashed it if he wanted.
Liu Gongzi stood up with a fat body, walked this way, was already a little tired, pouted, and said: "This place is sparsely populated, I don't know Brother Du, what do you think?"
More than a dozen ruffians behind him also laughed at Du Ming, and they were talking nonsense, if they hadn't listened to him today, they wouldn't have run in vain.
Sai Zhuge shook the folding fan lightly, smiled mysteriously, pointed to the small courtyard in front, and said: "Liu Gongzi, please see, the Taoist temple in front is said to be where the Shangqing Palace of the Maoshan Sect is located." ”
Liu Gongzi looked at it, disagreed, and said: "It's just a broken Taoist temple, what's so good." ”
Sai Zhuge shook his head and continued: "The incense of this Maoshan sect has been interrupted decades ago, and now why has it suddenly appeared here, this must be a private temple and worship to the god of obscenity, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is to be sentenced to exile in Yunnan and confiscation of property." ”
Liu Gongzi came to his senses when he heard it: "Brother Du, go on, go on!"
Sai Zhuge said proudly: "We only need to go in now and ask the Taoist priest in charge to ask for the seal letter, if they don't have it, we will expel them from Maoshan in the name of building a private temple, and change these three tiled houses into green buildings, specially receive rich businessmen and high-ranking officials, and collect fishing profits. ”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! The name of Sai Zhuge is indeed worthy of its name. Liu Gongzi's head shook happily, and he ordered the hooligan team behind him, "Let's go to the Taoist temple to make a little fortune!"
A group of people rushed into the yard, and saw that half of the yard was a vegetable field, and in the open space, there was a table of yellow paper, incense and candles, a thin old man was sorting out the sundries, and an old dog was lying in the corner.
Sai Zhuge ignored the leper, stepped forward to give a salute, and said, "Master Dao, it's polite." ”
Liu Laodao heard the dog barking, looked up and saw that a talented person was followed by a group of crooked melons and cracked dates, knowing that something was wrong, put down the things in his hand, got up and said: "Poor and courteous, I don't know if the rank is coming to contempt, what is the cost?"
Sai Zhuge turned around and glanced at Liu Gongzi, Liu Gongzi nodded, and Sai Zhuge continued: "Dare to ask Dao Master, what kind of Taoist temple is this, can there be a talisman seal letter from the Daolu Division?"
Liu Laodao "sighed" in his heart, the stone went to Longhu Mountain to ask for the seal letter and never returned, I don't know why these people asked about it? ”。
"Hahahaha!" When Sai Zhuge heard this, he was in the middle of it, he became proud, and said loudly: "Daoye, you are so confused, no is no, what do you say to ask for it and not come back, according to my Da Ming law, there is no Daolu Division's talisman seal letter, it is a private temple, you are going to be exiled to Yunnan, and this house and farm house will also be confiscated!"
Liu Laodao is still arguing: "No, the Fu Zheng seal letter has not been retrieved yet, there is one, the Maoshan faction is a decent sect, after hundreds of years, how can it be a private temple?"
