Chapter 147: Secret method preparation, sharpening knives

(After finishing up, it will be restored tomorrow...... Thank you for the generous reward of "Kiss to silence me"!)

When the Zhengyang Daoist returned to the courtyard, he was covered with snow. A man opened the door to pick him in, and hurriedly helped him take off his cloak and hat and get rid of the snow on it.

"Song Gang, have you prepared everything you were asked to prepare?"

The man replied respectfully: "It's all in place, it's all in the backyard." ”

"Well done. ”

The Taoist priest praised lightly.

The man was overjoyed in his heart, he was an eyeliner in the Eagle Feather Battalion under the command of the Yuan family, and he was arranged to work in the capital for a long time. It is not an easy task to make nails under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and if you don't pay attention to it, your head will fall to the ground. What he is looking forward to most is to serve the Zhengyang Daoist well, and after making contributions, he can be transferred back to Yangzhou.

The chief of Zhengyang Dao walked through the front hall, entered the backyard, lifted a large burden placed there, and then turned into the side yard.

There are several clumps of bamboo planted in this small courtyard, and there are more than ten piles of stones, which look a little messy, but in fact, they are arranged in a formation, and those who don't know the way to fall into it, and they can't turn out when they die.

Zhengyang Road Chang walked leisurely, turned around, and suddenly opened up in front of him, and came to a pavilion. Stone tables are placed in the pavilion and futons are spread.

He stood in front of the stone case, opened the big baggage, and took out one thing after another.

These things were bits and pieces, odd, black dog blood, black glutinous rice, a pig's head, a bottle of yellowish liquid, and seven or eight other things that were hard to name.

A lot of things are placed on the stone case, obviously following a certain order, not chaotic. Placed casually.

Laid them out one by one, and the chief of Zhengyang Dao pulled it out of his sleeve. Pull out three spikes. Each piece is more than four inches long. It was swarthy, with a cold glow at the tip, and after the nail, he took out a humanoid puppet, wearing a special small shirt, and his face was depicted vividly, just like Chen Sanlang.

Finally, he took out a charm from his body, as well as a peachwood sword.

The charm was a foot long and was drawn on a sheet of leather. The leather was yellowed, and it turned out to be human skin.

After getting this, he opened his mouth and blew violently.

Laugh at!

Originally, the three sandalwood sticks inserted in an incense burner on the stone case spontaneously combusted without fire, and there was a faint smoke, which lingered.

The Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the futon, muttering something in his mouth, but he was so vague that he couldn't tell the difference.

From today. He will no longer leave, but will always sit here and wait.

Wait for the best day to cast the secret spell!

That day, it won't be too long.

......

In February, there is still snow in Chang'an in the north, and in Jing County in the south. The spring breeze blows the earth and has blown green mountains and rivers.

Spring is a great time for farming. The wilderness is busy.

The large paddy fields around the river temple began to be turned over and irrigated, and more than a dozen sturdy ploughing cattle were under the control of the people. "Moo" screamed, pulling the plough to work.

These cattle were cultivated under the auspices of Zhou Hezhi. Bought at a high price, there are more females and fewer males. In this way, they can mate and give birth to calves.

In an agrarian society, cattle were very expensive. In some cases, the slaughter of cattle was even a crime, and was subject to arrest and imprisonment.

In order to buy these cattle, Zhou Hezhi spent a lot of effort.

Now, standing on the slope, looking at this busy farming scene, he couldn't help but smile: all kinds of matters have gradually been on the right track, steaming upward, and when Chen Sanlang returns from the capital, he Lao Zhou can be regarded as worthy of his mission.

Suddenly, I put my eyes on the mountains and forests behind, and saw a Taoist temple rising from the ground, which was very conspicuous.

"Getaway!"

This is a Taoist temple established according to the requirements of Xiaoyao Fudao.

The Taoist priest asked a lot, pointing fingers, according to the design blueprint, Zhou Hezhi calculated, and now the cost is expensive. At that time, he secretly complained in his heart, and he had a headache. Money and food are already stretched thin, not enough, and if you use this amount of money to build a Taoist temple, then several other affairs will have to be stagnant, and there will be no money to do.

Zhou Hezhi cautiously discussed with Xiaoyao Fudao and asked if he could reduce the scale of the Taoist temple. The Taoist priest glanced at him, directly threw out a bag of gold and silver, and said in a very high-spirited manner: "The scholar gave the local Taoist temple to build a Taoist temple, but I didn't want to spend his money anymore, and I owed a great favor, and when I met in the future, I couldn't raise my head and couldn't speak." ”

Seeing the gold and silver, Lao Zhou smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Immortal Chang Gaoyi." ”

Rich and easy to do, hired more than 10 workers, a month to build the Taoist temple, and added a variety of home furnishings, for the statue of the gods, officially opened, accept the people's incense, is still very vigorous.

Seeing this, the second general of the river temple looked at the hot eyes, and couldn't help but go to Ao Qingmei's side to complain. Xiaolongnu reprimanded: "The child's arrangement is reasonable, and it is not your turn to wait for the noise, just keep to yourself." ”

The two demons will not be able to return to the bottom of the river under the pool.

Ploughing and sowing is a matter of great importance, and Chen Wangshi also brought Uncle Xiao Cuihua to inspect it, and when he saw that the farmers were well organized and highly motivated, he was happy in his heart. Chen Sanlang has already said that when the Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain is built, the whole family will move into it.

At dusk, Chen Wang returned to the county seat with Xiaocui.

Gotta get it!

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and I saw several horsemen and horses hurrying up. The knight raised his hand and showed a token, and when the soldiers guarding the city gate saw it, they quickly stood and let them gallop in.

Chen Wang and Xiao Cui stepped aside, and the woman said, "Who are these people, why are they so domineering?"

Xiaocui said: "Madam, it may be someone from Fucheng." ”

Chen Wang's "oh" sounded, and he ignored it.

But he said that the group of men and horses came straight to the yamen, turned over and dismounted, tied the horses outside, and strode into the yamen. An official wanted to come up to inquire, and when he saw the token in the other party's hand, he immediately stopped talking.

Soon, this team of people came to Lord Zun Lu in Jing County.

Master Lu had received news in advance, and at this moment he came to greet him in a dignified manner with a respectful attitude.

The leader of the team was a stout man, with a scar on the left cheek, which was quite hideous, he greeted him slightly, and handed over a secret letter: "Lord Lu, this is Gongzi's handwritten letter, you can take care of it." ”

Lord Lu took it, took it apart, and looked at it slowly, with a strange look on his face: Childe, you are really going to attack Chen Sanlang's family...... This letter is just a greeting, and it does not need to be done by people from the yamen, so as not to swagger and cause public discussion. There was someone else who did it, but it made the yamen deaf and dumb when he arrived......

After reading the letter, he returned the letter to the stout man with a scar, and arched his hand: "The meaning of the son, the lower official understands, but please rest assured." ”

The scar man nodded, and suddenly asked, "There is another thing, which was instructed by the son, which is quite important." In Jing County, has there ever been a red carp?"

"Red carp?"

Lord Lu was stunned, and he didn't know why, but when he looked up and saw the scarred man's eyes, he panicked inexplicably, so he had to answer vaguely: "As far as the lower officials know, in the water of the Jing River, there are occasionally some red carp infested...... I don't know what the use of the son is looking for the red carp?"

The scarred man's eyes flashed with disappointment: "You shouldn't ask, don't ask, anyway, if there is a strange red carp, you must tell your son." ”

"Understood. ”

Master Lu didn't dare to ask more, but muttered in his heart: What is the weird red carp? There is no standard for judging at all.

With that, the man with the scar led his men away.

Master Lu originally wanted to ask them where they were going and where they lived, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back: If you shouldn't ask, don't ask, disaster will come out.

Seeing a group of people walk out of the yamen, Lord Lu sighed, and suddenly asked a henchman next to him: "Ah Jiu, what day is today?"

Na Ah Jiu replied: "My lord, today is the twelfth day of February. ”

"February twelve?"

Master Lu muttered and said in a low voice: "Then today is the day when the second exam will begin." ”

Ah Jiu wondered in his heart, he couldn't understand why the adults suddenly came to the side of the test. The examination was held in Chang'an, the capital city, and the world was in the north and south, and the regions were completely different, so could it be that the adult remembered what happened to him when he took the examination in the past? As far as he knew, this adult was not born in Jinshi, but a lifting person, and it was completely through the door of the Yuan family that he became the county leader of Shangjing County.

In other words, the Yuan family needed such a county to preside over Jing County, so they found Lord Lu to come.

If you shouldn't ask, don't ask.

Ah Jiu implemented this officialdom rule well, standing silently on the side, like a puppet. (To be continued......)
