Chapter 35: Demonic spirit
Zhu Ye is also a smart person and has a lot of eyesight.
When he saw that Governor Yang didn't even listen to him, and directly ordered someone to take him down, he knew that a catastrophe was coming, and it was useless to cry out for mercy, it would only be more annoying.
His face was dead, and he collapsed to the ground in fright in despair, and was dragged away by the officials.
Seeing this, the evil spirit in Li Gongfu's heart dissipated, and after Zhu Ye's time, even if he was an immortal warden, he would definitely not be able to keep his position, and he could be regarded as getting the punishment he deserved.
Xu Xian thought more in his heart.
As a bystander, he saw today's events very clearly, and there must be no grudges between his brother-in-law Li Gongfu and Zhu Ye. What Zhu Ye did today must have been instructed by others!
Who is this main messenger standing behind it?
Zhu Ye was already so frightened that his soul was not possessed, but at this time, he still did not shout 'wronged', and did not justify himself and confessed the main messenger behind him, indicating that this person's identity must not be simple.
Xu Xian quickly recalled the people and things he encountered in Hangzhou City during this time, and quickly locked on the target.
"Chu Banshan!"
Xu Xian had this name in his mind.
This son of Hangzhou Mansion guarding Chu Yintai is the most suspicious. With his identity, he could indeed instruct Zhu Ye to help him, and Zhu Ye didn't dare to betray him easily.
"I warned him last time not to mess with me again, otherwise he wouldn't let it go easily. I didn't expect him to still not give up, and he dared to frame the people around me!" Xu Xian's eyes were cold, and there was already a murderous aura in his heart.
Villains are like evil ghosts, this sentence is really not false at all.
For them, there is no principle in doing things, and if they want to frame a person, they will do whatever it takes. Chu Banshan framed the people around Xu Xian, which made him angrier than framing Xu Xian.
"With Chu Banshan's character, this conspiracy failed, and he must still not give up. But now that he knows that I have Xu Xuezheng's support, and Governor Yang is completely on my side, it is impossible for him to use official power to deal with me. This son is not right, and he also recruited two Taoist priests, maybe he will pretend to be a ghost. If so, I will kill him!"
Xu Xian thought in his heart.
Today, Yang Jianxing and Xu Zhengqing have already given him face and are doing their best to help him, but I am afraid they can only do it like this. Zhu Ye didn't dare to betray Chu Banshan, he bit his mouth and didn't let go, even if Yang Jianxing was a prefect, he couldn't do anything.
After all, Chu Banshan is the son of the garrison, and Yang Jianxing has to have a lot of scruples if he wants to move.
But if Chu Banshan pretended to be a ghost and let the capable people around him deal with Xu Xian, Xu Xian would definitely kill him!
It was understood that Xu Zhengqing and Yang Jianxing did not stay in the inn for too long, drank a cup of tea, and after Xu Zhengqing handed over the invitation card of the 'Luming Banquet' to Xu Xian, the two left separately.
The name of the deer song banquet is taken from a sentence in the "Deer Song" chapter in the "Book of Songs", "Yo Yo Lu Ming, the apple of the wild food".
This banquet is a provision of the imperial examination system of the Dali Dynasty, and it is not only held by Xu Zhengqing or Hangzhou Prefecture, but it is popularized in all the prefectures and counties of the entire Dali Dynasty.
The time of the banquet was the day after the release of the government test and the hospital test.
After the government exam, only the top ten children on the list can participate. He Liang was lucky to win Tongsheng this time, but his ranking was twenty-eighth, so he didn't find an invitation.
However, this fat man has always had a big heart, he never thought that he could participate in the Luming Banquet, but he was not discouraged, but he packed his things happily and prepared to go back to Qiantang County.
He can't wait to tell his family the news that he was admitted to Tongsheng, and at the same time, he can't wait to go to the Red Mansion to find Ruiyun immediately.
He hadn't seen each other for nearly half a month, and he could still force himself to concentrate on his studies before the government exam. Now that the dust has settled, he suddenly returned to his heart like an arrow, and he didn't want to stay in Hangzhou City for a moment.
Li Gongfu is also going back to Qiantang County.
He has done his tolerance, and his personal affairs have been done.
As the head catcher of Qiantang County, he is in a public office, and he can't leave his post at will, and this time he came to Hangzhou Mansion to calculate the time and ask for leave from the county magistrate in advance. Now, when the time comes, we must go back to the yamen to report.
After packing his luggage, Li Gongfu hesitated again and said, "Hanwen, why don't I stay in Hangzhou City to accompany you for a few days?" I promised your sister that I would take good care of you, and now I am really not at ease to leave you alone in Hangzhou Mansion. β
Li Gongfu originally budgeted enough time, Xu Xian finished the government exam, and he could follow Li Gongfu back after the list was released.
But how did he know, Xu Xian didn't ming, he was amazing, he actually won the position of the head of the government test, and now after the list is over, he has to participate in the Luming banquet and many coping later, and he can't leave at all without three or five days.
Xu Xian smiled and said with relief: "No need, brother-in-law, go back and tell my sister, let her rest assured, nothing will happen to me! I am an adult now, and I am not a delicate little girl, where will there be any accidents." Looking at my performance today, can't you be on your own?"
Li Gongfu thought about it and felt that it made sense.
In the past few days of getting along, Xu Xian's changes have really impressed Li Gongfu, which is completely different from the naΓ―ve young man who had no power and no skills in his previous impression.
Especially when facing Zhu Ye today, he was a little panicked, but Xu Xian was not afraid of danger, which really made Li Gongfu secretly admire in his heart.
Moreover, now that Xu Xian is the head of the government test, even the Lord Xuezheng and the prefect have protected him in every way, who would dare to treat Xu Xian in Hangzhou Mansion?
Whether he stays or not doesn't mean much.
"Alright then, I'll go back first, you still have to be careful by yourself. Li Gongfu nodded and admonished: "When the matter is over, you should come back quickly, don't wander around, and especially don't go out of the city alone! Recently, the city of Hangzhou has not been very peaceful, and I heard that there are monsters in trouble, and many people have already died, and the officers and men have organized a team to investigate for a long time, but no result has been found. β
Xu Xian nodded: "Well, I wrote it down." Brother-in-law, you have to say hello to my sister for me when you go back. β
Li Gongfu suddenly smiled and said happily: "If your sister knew that you were a child and you were the first to be the head of the case, I am afraid that she would be so excited that she couldn't sleep, and her biggest wish in this life has now come true." β
Xu Xian also smiled.
He decided to participate in the imperial examination, and most of them were willing, but also to make his sister Xu Jiaorong happy and not let her down.
Xu Xian won the head of the government test, and Xu Jiaorong will definitely be the happiest one in the world.
On the same day, Li Gongfu and He Liang left, leaving Xu Xian alone.
......
......
Hangzhou Chengnan Guo.
Not far from the city gates.
A group of old people, children and beggars dressed in tatters were queuing up to receive porridge and steamed buns, and it was Xin Shi Niang, who was dressed in red, who distributed food to them.
"Thank you!
"Good people have good rewards! Fourteen Niang, you are really a living Bodhisattva!"
Everyone who receives the food will sincerely express their gratitude, and every time Xin Shi Niang sees a hungry person filling her stomach, her heart will be filled with joy.
She is dedicated to the Tao, likes to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and she believes that she will persist like this, and accumulate over time, and sooner or later she will be ranked in the immortal class.
......
......
Outside the city gate, a Taoist priest with a short stature, a goatee, a whisk in his hand, and a wine gourd hanging from his waist passed through the city gate.
The Taoist priest glanced up and said to himself: "Hey, there are many monsters in the land south of the Yangtze River, it's true! There are so many demonic spirits near a small Hangzhou city, it seems that I have to be busy!"
