The people of Majiaji could not hear the voice of the Admiral of Dongchang with their own ears, but they could hear his story.

There are so many people killed in the capital, and the heads can't roll to the Ma family set, and the perception is naturally almost nothing. But Ma Jiaji's parents, Zhou Ping'an, "fell into the water", and more than 100 heads under the mouth of Majiaji Town were right in front of them.

Every day, looking at the fierce eyes of the fans who are close to the county government in the town, they are like hungry wolves, and when they get closer, there is a scolding, and if they don't retreat, the steel knife is out of the sheath, which is by no means to scare them, because someone has seen with their own eyes that there is a drunken splash of skin drilling, and then the head is cut off with a knife.

"The security in Majiaji is much better, and there is no one to complain. Wang Ji stepped into the class room and sat down in his seat. Faced with an empty bookcase, it was a little boring and a little bitter.

Yuan Ping, the head of the county government and his friend, understood the meaning of Wang Ji's words, and opened his mouth to persuade him: "This is not the credit of Zhao Chong, it is all the ferocity of Dongchang."

Adults don't have to think about it, when Dongchang is gone, it is still unknown whether this Ma Jiaji's surname is Zhao or Wangdu. ”

"It is estimated that he has to be surnamed Zhao, he Zhao Chong kneels fast, and the dog barks loudly, I can't compare to him. Wang Ji's words were full of contempt and contempt, but the envy, jealousy and hatred in his tone could not be concealed.

Yuan Ping smiled and didn't say anything more.

。。。。。。

In the lobby, Xu Ruyi stood with his hands in his hands, looked up at the plaque above his head with "Heaven and Earth Righteousness", and thought about his thoughts.

Last night, Mrs. Xu proposed how to play the game, and today is the first day. He got up before the roosters had even crowed, or more precisely, he hadn't slept much last night.

After washing his face with cold water, Xu Ruyi walked around the county office, and then came to the lobby, standing, and stood until this moment.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, you called me. The former classic history, the current "acting" county master Zhao Chong walked in tremblingly and knelt on the ground.

Hearing the voice behind him, Xu Ruyi said "um" and didn't look back: "Don't be too nervous, it's a good thing." The documents of the Ministry of Officials have come down, and all the necessary items such as your official uniform and copper seal have also been delivered. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ruyi reached out and picked up a small burden from the case, turned around and threw it in front of Zhao Chong: "Are you happy?"

"Thank you father-in-law for cultivating, the lower official must be... ”

"Needless to say. Xu Ruyi waved his hand: "Our family called you here, there is a small question for you." ”

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, please ask, the lower official knows everything. ”

"Naw. Xu Ruyi's eyes were complicated and difficult to understand: "I heard that your family has a son, fifteen this year, named Zhao Jixiang, right?"

"This... Hearing Xu Ruyi ask about his son, Zhao Chong sighed in his heart.

"Your son's name is Zhao Jixiang, and our family's name is Xu Ruyi, but there is some fate. Our family intends to let him enter the East Factory and take him with him as a long-term follower, are you willing?"

"Father-in-law. Zhao Chong hesitated for a long time, and asked nervously: "Let the dog serve by your side, the lower official is naturally willing, but I don't know if the dog wants it too... Also ... ”

Zhao Chong "also" for a long time, but still didn't find the right wording to express his meaning.

Different from the county Cheng Wang Ji's background, his position in the history was "bought" by him with silver to dredge the relationship, and he knew a few words, but if he said that he was culturally talented, he was not as good as a child.

But of course Xu Ruyi understood what he was going to say, nodded and smiled: "Yes, I will also be stabbed." ”

In a word, it was like a thunderclap on a sunny day, hitting Zhao Chong's Tianling Parkway.

Zhao Chong is nearly forty years old, married for more than 30 years, and gave birth to seven sons, but all of them died before they became adults. If you become a eunuch...

"Father-in-law!" Zhao Chong cried, his head slammed on the ground with a "bang", and he saw blood directly: "Father-in-law, no, father-in-law, Xiaguan, the villain is such a son, can't!" The head was raised, then kowtowed, then raised, and then kowtowed, only four or five times, and his face was covered with blood.

"Here's what to do. Raising his foot slightly, Zhao Chong's head fell on the top of Xu Ruyi's boots: "Listen to our family."

Your son came to Dongchang, your future was covered by our family, you were a county master here in Majiaji for a year, and our family transferred you to the capital as an official. ”

"Father-in-law!" Zhao Chong was about to speak, but saw Xu Ruyi and said: "If you refuse our family, our family will kill you, but leave your son ten thousand taels of silver, enough for him to be rich and noble for a lifetime, you have to think clearly, your son can be reborn, and there is only one life." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chong said sadly: "Father-in-law, where can I regenerate." The little one had seven sons, but only this last one became an adult. In the past sixteen years, the villain has married a four-room concubine, but his stomach has not moved.

Fortune tellers say that villains are born with the fate of an only child. The villain also resigned himself to his fate. If you want to be auspicious, that is to be the root of my old Zhao family!. ”

"Oh, so what?" Xu Ruyi nodded, seemingly unmoved: "What is your choice?"

"Villain, villain... Zhao Chong's face was uncertain, gritting his teeth, in the face of life and death, this choice was difficult.

Xu Ruyi lowered his head and watched quietly, without urging, and felt it personally, of course he understood Zhao Chong's mood.

Half a day

Zhao Chong said with difficulty: "Villain... If you are willing to die, please fulfill your father-in-law. The old man was in tears, but he looked at Xu Ruyi with a firm gaze, without any concessions.

Xu Ruyi raised his hand and attached it to the top of Zhao Chong's head: "Have you thought about it? ”

"Please, please father-in-law. The next moment he was about to die in Huangquan, but Zhao Chong's gaze still did not change, he just trembled all over, this is the fear of death, but also the powerlessness of fate.

The palm of the hand on top of the head lifts and falls. Xu Ruyi's movements were very gentle, as if he was just stroking a well-behaved puppy.

The imaginary eternal slumber did not come, but Zhao Chong collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, in fact, he had already died once.

"Just kidding you. Xu Ruyi chuckled and kicked the little burden on the ground: "Take the things, go out, and go to the class room to call Wang Ji by the way." ”

"Male... Father-in-law, villain, lower official, me?" Zhao Chong was incoherent, was he happy or sad? He didn't know what he was thinking.

Walking out of the lobby in a daze, his sweat-soaked clothes were blown by the wind, and he couldn't help but shiver.

The scene just now seemed to be just a nightmare, but the burden in his hand clearly told him that everything before was extremely real: "What, what's the situation?"

I couldn't figure it out, and in the end it could only be boiled down to one sentence: "The eunuchs' brains are abnormal." ”

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, otherwise his life might really be gone. Packing up his mood, Zhao Chong walked towards the class room.

。。。。。。

"Righteous mei slaughters more dogs, and most of them are readers. This is not true at all. The conditions are similar, but the choices of these two people are completely different. ”

"You don't really need their help, you already have the answer in your heart. Looking indifferently at Wang Ji's miserable corpse in front of Xu Ruyi, Nangong Caiyun said.

Xu Ruyi did not hide the game between himself and Mrs. Xu from Nangong Caiyun, because it was not necessary.

If you die the day after tomorrow, there is always something to explain. There are very few people around you who can be trusted. Fang Tianyou has three corpses in his body, and he still has an obsession with his son in his heart, as well as the ambition to rebuild Fengyunzhuang. There may not be much loyalty to oneself, but most of them are still exploitation and fear.

On the contrary, it was like a piece of cold Nangong Caiyun, which made Xu Ruyi feel that he could trust him a little more, at least, he was also from Tianmen, and his relationship with himself was not too much interested. If you have to choose someone from your side to entrust, Xu Ruyi feels that she can gamble on him.

Nangong Caiyun said it well, his decision had actually been made, but he was still unwilling, so he brought Zhao Chong and Wang Ji over and staged two boring monkey shows.

Time was not stopped, listening to the dry cicada chirping from nowhere, he suddenly wanted to go outside, and then look at the lakes and mountains and customs of the Ming Dynasty.

The area around the county government is lifeless, but after a street or two, the scenery is very different. The vendors have their own unique hawking, and the pedestrians on the road are either in a hurry or leisurely.

With Nangong Caiyun always in the street market of Majiaji, Xu Ruyi's mood was slightly better.

After walking for a while, I was a little tired, not so much physically, but more mentally.

I was looking for a place to do it, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a somewhat strange stall on the corner of the street, and the reason why I felt strange was because the owner of the hexagram stall was a monk.

A moment later

"Donor, what do you want to count?" At the hexagram stall, the triangular-eyed monk asked the handsome son in front of him.

Xu Ruyi didn't answer, but asked suspiciously: "Isn't it always a Taoist priest's method to ask for divination? Where did you, a monk, come from, and also come to rob other people's jobs." ”

The donor laughed. The monk smiled modestly: "The poor monk is a monk who travels from all over the world, and he comes from everywhere and goes everywhere." Taoist priests can tell hexagrams, but no one has ever said that monks can't, at least the poor monks know a little about this divination technique. ”

"If you know a little bit about it, you dare to set up a stall?

"I'm afraid, but the poor monk hasn't been beaten, maybe it's because the poor monk's hexagram is quite accurate?"

"Huh. Xu Ruyi chuckled, grabbed the wolf on the side, dipped it in some ink, and wrote down the word "gong": "Come, you talk, I'll listen." ”

The monk looked at the big characters on the paper, pondered for a moment, and said: "The word 'person' is divided into two parts, like 'heart' and not 'heart'. Childe should have encountered a dilemma, and if he is not careful, he may be worried about his life. ”

"Oh?" Xu Ruyi looked serious, and wrote the word "female" again. At this time, a whirlwind blew, and the blown rice paper was about to turn up. Xu Ruyi subconsciously picked up the paperweight on the table and pressed it, and said, "What now?"

"Female... The monk stretched out his hand and nodded at Xu Ruyi's words, added a "treasure cover", and stretched out his hand to point at the paperweight: "It's a 'An' word." Follow your heart, solve your dilemma, and the answer to your troubles is still in the son himself. ”

"Myself?" Xu Ruyi glanced at the monk strangely, took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the table: "If you don't allow, I will come back to you." With that, he got up and left.

Looking at Xu Ruyi's departing back, the monk nodded and chuckled: "You and I are not friends or foes, I just saw you to get to know you better, where is the use of seeing you again?"

After turning around the street, Xu Ruyi returned to the county office, and did not go to the lobby, but went straight to the ice cellar.

In ancient times, there were no refrigerators, but large families had the habit of digging cellars to store ice and snow to relieve the heat in the summer.

There is also an ice cellar in the back hall of the county government, and it is not small, and it is not just dug by the old man of Qingtian.

"Watch this place, no one is allowed to enter. Leaving such an instruction, Xu Ruyi opened the flap of the ice cellar, faced the bone-chilling air, and walked down the steps.

The strange word-measuring monk's words were very vague, but they gave Xu Ruyi an inspiration. That's right, there may be a solution to the strange poison in your body!

Soon after, the knees of the body were crossed, and the index fingers of both hands were facing each other, and the remaining eight fingers crisscrossed to form a strange handprint, which was held above the head: "I suppressed it for so long, but I didn't expect it to come to this point in the end, I hope you won't let our family down." ”

His eyes were closed, and after a while, the blood on his face gradually faded, and his body gradually glowed with a soft luster, becoming the only source of light in the darkness.

Whew, the skin is tight, the bones are jagged, sucking, the chest and abdomen are bulging, and the yin wind is blowing.

The subcutaneous convex depression seems to have snakes and insects wandering around.

Gradually, the color of the skin turned from red to blue, and then to a miserable white, and finally, it slowly became as if it had lost its color, and faintly, you could see the meridians, bones, and various organs wrapped in the skin, and a cloud of black gas swirled in it.

From deep to shallow, flesh and bones, muscles and skin, and then to the five senses, Xu Ruyi has already practiced it, but because of his scruples, he has been forcibly suppressing the cultivation of the five organs.

But now that he has a strange poison in his body, he can't take care of it, if he doesn't practice, it's a mortal situation, if he practices, maybe there is a glimmer of life, and the result will not be worse than this, so why not fight?

The fingertips slowly pointed to the position of the five organs of the chest and abdomen, and every time it fell, several black smoke came out from between the mouth and nose.

The speed of his fingers became faster and faster, gradually turning into a phantom, and the black smoke between his mouth and nose also thickened, and finally his entire face was obscured.

The dark ice cellar, the heavy gasp, the soft luster, the heavy black smoke, the skin like jade. Maybe it was a quarter of an hour, or a few hours, or a few days, but I don't know when Xu Ruyi's ears and eyes suddenly opened, and a chant like a ghost was like a demon came out of his mouth: "The Buddha is like a demon." ”
