"Li Gongzi is really righteous, a hundred taels of silver will be given away, but it is worth it to be able to accomplish a good thing. Zhu Yu shook his head and said with some admiration.

Wang Ping pinched his fingers and calculated: "I don't know if it's worth it, but this one hundred taels is enough for my family's harvest for more than ten years." ”

"I had to copy books for more than ten years to earn it. Ning Caichen also calculated in his heart, and said in a sour tone.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I'm not too interested in money, how much is a hundred taels?"

"Huh~!"

Several people shouted in unison.

"What, will I tell you that my Li family's gold bricks pave the way, and the silver casts winter melons, and the copper coins are not even qualified to enter the treasury. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.

Of course, this can't be said, and you still have to be low-key and low-key.

It's understandable to just be a little high-profile when doing good deeds.

And taking money to do good, it seems to be a loss, but in fact, although the good thing is invisible, but it exists, the more the merrier, the more people with good fortune can always be safe.

However, at this moment, when these people were talking, Chu Tian, who had left the Qin Pavilion, was drunk and ready to go home to rest.

Today is really terrible, I originally wanted to listen to Shi Niang play the piano, but when I met Li Xiuyuan's house, I deliberately angry him for selling his concubine and losing money, there is simply nothing smooth.

When Chu Tian crossed the bridge and left the Qinhuai River, because he was drunk, his steps were a little vain, and he couldn't help bumping into a man who was buying wine coming towards him.

The man was carrying two jars of wine, but when he was hit by this, he spilled it to the ground with a bang.

"Why don't you walk with long eyes, you spilled my wine. The bartender immediately scolded.

Chu Tian immediately said angrily, and grabbed the bartender's clothes: "You cheap guy dare to scold me? ”

After saying that, he pushed the bartender to the ground with a heavy force.

With the sound of cracking, a jar of wine from the bartender fell directly on the bridge, and the wine spilled all over the ground.

"You pay for my wine, you pay for my wine. The bartender immediately shouted angrily and annoyed.

"It's your creation to only smash your jar of wine, and you dare to ask me to lose money, do you know who this son is? ”

Chu Tian was drunk, thinking that he was still the son of Chu in Guo Beicheng, and he didn't take this bartender in his eyes at all.

After scolding him a few times, the bartender saw that this person was dressed as a noble son and a scholar, but he could only touch his tears aggrievedly and did not dare to continue arguing.

Chu Tian saw that he was soft, so he was satisfied and swaggered away.

But before he could take a few steps, his feet slipped because of the wine on the ground, his body lost his balance, and he somehow turned around and fell directly from the bridge.

"Puff~!"

A huge sound of falling water sounded on the Qinhuai River.

"Oh no, someone fell overboard. The bartender's face turned pale when he saw this, and he hurriedly shouted.

However, when the nearby pedestrians looked around and prepared to save people, they found that the river was calm, and the people who fell down did not move at all as if they were sinking into the sea.

At this time, a pedestrian saw a Taoist floating on the surface of the Qinhuai River floating from the upstream, so he hurriedly shouted: "Dao Chief, don't sleep, someone has fallen into the water, you are a master of the Dao, and please ask the Dao Master to cast a spell to save people." ”

Everyone near the Qinhuai River knows that there is a strange Taoist who likes to sleep, and in the winter, he either sleeps on the cold stones, or lies on the surface of the river and floats around.

People who don't know still think it's a corpse, someone rowed over to get the corpse, but after scooping it up, the person woke up, and fell into the river again, and then the people nearby knew that the person was sleeping on the river, although it was amazing, but after a few days it was used to it, and I didn't pay attention to it, I only knew that this was a capable person, and ordinary people were different.

The Taoist who floated on the surface of the river seemed to hear the sound of pedestrians calling for help, and woke up in a daze, he stretched out his hand and suddenly patted the surface of the river, and a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the river surface under the bridge before, and then a column of water rushed out of the whirlpool, like a dragon sucking water and connected to the bridgehead, and with the appearance of this water column, a cold corpse fell to the ground.

This corpse was none other than Chu Tian.

I saw that his hands were covered with mud, his clothes were torn, his body was already stiff, and he had no breath at all.

"Hey, it's late, the Taoist didn't catch up with the rescue, it would be good if he fell into the water later, maybe he wouldn't die, I don't know which family's son, he drowned at a young age. Some onlookers sighed.

"He smells of wine on his body, he went to invite Qinhuai River to eat wine, this is not uncommon, every year there are scholars who fall drunk and fall into the Qinhuai River and drown. There are also people of the older generation who shake their heads.

"Why did he have mud on his hands, and he tore open his clothes, and he died so strangely, there wouldn't be any monsters in the water to harm people. ”

A boatman next to him smiled: "What a monster, the drowning person is like this, he was drunk and fell into the water for a while and couldn't tell the direction, I don't know up and down, left and right, I can only chase the light, and when I look at the bottom of the river underwater, there is light, and when I look at the river, it is dim, so he will naturally row to the bottom of the river, and when he touches the bottom of the river, he is almost suffocated, so in the panic, he naturally grabs the mud at the bottom of the river, and tears open his clothes because his chest is tight and out of breath." ”

"That's the truth, it's the same as a person who freezes to death, instead of wearing clothes on his body, he takes off his clothes, and those who don't know think that he is dying of heat, this person has drowned, so let's notify the government immediately. Someone nodded in agreement.

From the time he left the Qin Pavilion to the time Chu Tian drowned, it was only half an hour.

The retribution came so quickly, and the calamity came so fiercely, which Li Xiuyuan did not expect.

But he didn't know about it at the moment.

Although he had the book of life and death in his hand, he would not check it all the time.

In the current piano pavilion, a group of scholars have been playing the game of Fu Ping while listening to the music.

Fu Ping is actually a kind of folk spell such as divination, whether it is among the readers, or among the dignitaries are very popular, because there are ghosts and gods in this world, there are also demons and ghosts, gods and ghosts are in contact with more, some corresponding divination, please God of the spell is naturally more, this Fu Ping is the most common one, but also very simple and very easy to use.

Take a sand table, put a forked branch on it, one person take one end and put it on the sand table, read the corresponding terms, and then the branch will move, draw a pattern or write some words on the sand table, at this time you can ask the question you want to ask, and the fairy will help you answer.

Li Xiuyuan only glanced at it a few times, and then felt that this spell was very similar to the pen immortal.

"It's moving, it's moving, it's coming. A scholar said excitedly.

The branches placed on the sand table moved.

"I don't know where the fairy is, but does he have a name?" asked the scholar next to him.

The branches swayed, and it really began to write slowly on the sand table, and only one word was written, Lu.

"It's a god named Lu. ”

The other scholars immediately became a little excited, it seemed that this fairy had really been invited.

"Dare to ask the immortals, I heard the yamen say that the court will open Enke in Yangzhou in the spring next year, is this matter true?" Immediately, someone asked a question.

The branches swayed, and another word was written on the sand table: True.

"Great, the immortals all said it was true, then next year's spring will definitely open Enke, no, I have to hurry up to prepare for the exam." A scholar was thrilled and felt that his opportunity to gain fame had come again.

The other scholars scrambled to ask the fairy all kinds of questions.

Although the fairy is concise and to the point, he always speaks very accurately, which is convincing.

"It turned out to be a helper, I really haven't played it for a long time, and the fairy they invited is really powerful, and I even know about Kaienke. ”

Ning Caichen's eyes widened, and he said incredulously.

Li Xiuyuan had revealed to them about Kaienke when he was in the mansion before, this news was obtained from Fu Tianqiu, the squire of the Ministry of War, it was genuine news, but he didn't expect this immortal to really have some ability, which made him look at it a little differently.

In fact, the fairies invited by this helper are not immortals, most of them are just passing ghosts, and it is rare to meet a god, as for the real immortals, they will not play this kind of game with you.

And the little ghosts passing by are just greedy for a little incense to offer, because there will be offerings to you after the game is over, which is used to send the fairy away.
