"Zhou An, formerly known as Zhou Buyan. A lay disciple of Shaolin was found to have stolen martial arts secrets from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at night, and was removed from the Shaolin Temple and posted. Reading this, Xu Ruyi raised his eyes and looked at Zhou An: "You can also steal the Scripture Pavilion, and your ability is not small." Your leg technique and palm technique were stolen at that time?"

"Yes. ”

"What name?"

"The palm method is called one pat and two scattered palms, and the leg method is called the shadow with the shape of the legs, which are all martial arts in the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin. ”

"Hmm. Xu Ruyi nodded, and then read: "I joined the Qinling Wolf Thieves by chance, and then I was highly valued by the Wolf King and was promoted to one of the three wolf masters. Three years later, he was robbed by wolves for three days and three nights for seducing a wolf thief's concubine, and was castrated. ”

"I was framed. Although he was seriously injured, Zhou An still struggled.

"Shaolin Tongzigong can't break your body, you are naturally wronged. But who cares?" sneered, Xu Ruyi read again: "After escaping from Qinling, he lived on the streets, and happened to meet Zheng Zhizhong, who was out on business, and won his mercy and rescued a life. You are grateful for his kindness, voluntarily sign the deed of sale, and join the Zheng family to protect him. ”

"Your life is really wonderful, even if you die now, it's worth it. With a slight smile, Xu Ruyi put the rice paper in his hand on the table.

"Childe told you, right?" Zhou An lay on the bed, tilting his head and looking at Xu Ruyi: "How is he doing now?"

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't treat him badly. Xu Ruyi waved his hand: "The black cat's knife hasn't touched him yet, he is shouting to die or live, he will recruit whatever our family asks, and I still want to recruit after recruiting, but our family doesn't want to hear it." ”

Zhou An said indifferently: "You picked me up, it means that you don't want to kill me, although I don't know what use I have, but I promise you, I just ask you to... ”

"Let go of that soft egg surnamed Zheng?" Xu Ruyi continued.

"Yes. ”

Xu Ruyi tilted his head and thought about it, and said quietly: "Actually, I picked you up at the beginning just to set out your kung fu, although we haven't learned the Shaolin seventy-two stunts, but we have also read forty or fifty books, but you haven't seen your set of palm and leg techniques, just out of curiosity."

But after listening to the guy surnamed Zheng before, our family thinks you are quite interesting. Dare to break into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, it means that you have courage, can climb to a high position in the robber's den, it shows that you have the ability and skill, and finally for the sake of kindness, you can be a slave in the Zheng family for 23 years, which shows that you are loyal.

Anyway, you're also a eunuch, how about joining my East Factory?

Seeing that Zhou An seemed to be a little hesitant, Xu Ruyi said again: "We don't need to say much about power and wealth, you will have your own experience in the future." But at this moment, as long as you nod your head and join our family's East Factory, our family will let Zheng Shanru go as a fart, how about it? Zheng Zhizhong is just such a son, don't you need our family to remind you?"

After a moment of silence, Zhou An nodded effortlessly: "I promise you." ”

"Just have your words. Xu Ruyi nodded and stood up: "Since you have entered my East Factory, you don't have to hide anything in the future." Whether it's Shaolin or a wolf thief, it's nothing in front of my East Factory. In the future, you will still call Zhou Buyan, it will be better than Zhou An.

Take good care of your injuries, your deed of sale has been torn up for you, and I will make up a good people's household registration for you when I turn around, although it is estimated that you will not care too much, but one is better than nothing, isn't it?"

In just one month, all the officials involved in the trial were arrested and imprisoned by Dongchanghe, and convicted of Hu Weiyong's remaining party.

Zhu Yuanzhang hooked the pen, Dai Yi was innocent, and Liu Sanwu's whole family was assigned to fill the army. All but two were beheaded.

The charges were not related to the examination, but everyone knew what the actual reason was. After experiencing the incident of Lan Yu and Fu Youde, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more unscrupulous.

On March 29, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order that the list of Ding Chouke would be invalidated, and a new list was issued, of which 62 people were admitted, all of whom were northern scholars.

It is known as the North and South List Case.

。。。。。。

Ten Mile Pavilion outside the city of Nanjing

Zhou Buyan and Zheng Zhizhong were relatively speechless, and Zheng Shanru stood aside and was silent.

"Decided to stay in Dongchang?"

"Yes. Zhou Buyan nodded and said: "My stay in Dongchang is a condition for them to let my son leave." ”

Glancing at his son coldly, Zheng Zhizhong smiled bitterly: "I have asked what happened, I don't blame you, it's all this evil animal who was spoiled by his mother."

In fact, from the beginning when you decided to stay in my Zheng family, I knew that you were not only to repay your kindness, but also to use the power of my Zheng family to find wolf thieves to take revenge.

It's a pity that I am not an important person in the Zheng family, so I tried to say it for you a few times, but I was rejected by the old lady. Now that you can be valued by the Dongchang factory, it is a good thing to be the master of the Reward Division.

Don't think too much about it, even if it's a life-saving grace, twenty-three years should be over. ”

"Master," Zhou Buyan said respectfully: "The grace of dripping water needs to be reciprocated by a spring." I don't say that Zhou Buyan is not a good person, but I still understand this little truth. Don't worry, my husband will never say anything about the life-saving grace of my lord. ”

With a kind smile, Zheng Zhizhong nodded and said, "Okay, don't say anything more." You are now the master of the East Factory, and you have a lot of business to do, and my father and son are also early and late, but it is not good to stay. ”

The carriage with the green cloth tent gradually moved away. Two rows of shallow ruts were left on the ground. When the wind blows, it gradually disappears.

。。。。。。

"When the list was full of southern lifters, the northern lifters went to beat the Dengwen drum. Now that the list is full of lifters from the north, why are the lifters from the south so honest and don't say a word?"

Xu Ruyi didn't answer Ye Yuze's question, but Xie Jin on the side opened his mouth to explain: "Scholars, there is a lot of money in their bones. When there was no blood, one by one looked at death as if it were home, and asked for the lives of the people. When you really want to see blood, you will be honest immediately. This is what the people say: if you don't see the coffin, you won't cry. ”

"The same cannot be said. Xu Ruyi shook his head and said: "The 100,000 Confucian scholars who went to the sea in the Battle of Yashan are not fake. The integrity of the scholars is not all vain, but the emperor killed too much and suppressed the heavens and the earth, making those who read less naïve and more realistic. ”

Watching the prisoner car escorting Liu Sanwu's family slowly drive by, Ye Yuze sighed with emotion: "If there are more naïve people in the world, maybe there will be no need for us dirty people." ”

"Sympathy, pitiful?" Xu Ruyi shook his head and said: "Remember, what we do in Dongchang is to kill people and save the world, and if you want to save people and save the world, you should shave your head and become a monk." ”

In the private room on the second floor, Xu Ruyi's voice was stern, his eyes looked at Ye Yuze, but in fact, he said it to himself.

Zhou Buyan was holding a roast chicken in his hand and tearing it, and the black cat was smiling and sipping Du Kang's old wine in the wine cup. And Fang Tianyou, Gou Xiaoyun, and Pi Tiexin were holding chopsticks in a few stalls, eating side dishes without a bite.

Yun Zheng is the strangest, the wine banquet on the table is rich, but he doesn't seem to have much appetite, and he doesn't use chopsticks, but from time to time he puts his hand into a small deerskin pocket around his waist, takes out a small strip of meat, and tears it to eat.

"Boss. Gou Xiaoyun touched Fang Tianyou and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what the commander ate?"

"What, do you want to try it?" Fang Tianyou laughed strangely, and said to Yunzheng: "Boss, Xiaoyun wants to try your snacks, give a little?"

Yun Zheng glanced at him, threw the meat strip he had just taken out in his hand, was taken by Gou Xiaoyun, and threw it into his mouth casually.

The taste is good, it is very chewy, there is a bite, but it doesn't seem to be the meat of pigs, sheep and chickens, is it a cow?

Gou Xiaoyun was about to ask.

But I heard Xu Ruyi say, "Those two haven't finished eating yet?"

"I'm done eating early. Yun Zheng replied: "The black cat made more than a catty." ”

"This time it's a high-quality ingredient, and it tastes good, right?"

"It's ok. ”

In a few words, Gou Xiaoyun's face turned pale when he heard this: "Ten... Ten spiced meat?"

"It may be beef, but it may not be. Fang Tianyou smiled and said with relief: "I want to open a little." ”

The throat squirmed, Gou Xiaoyun endured and endured, and finally didn't spit it out.

Zhou Buyan also put down the roast chicken in his hand, frowned, and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything after all.

Xu Ruyi looked at Zhou Buyan and said softly: "Everyone has their own past, and some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, you will naturally know in the future." ”

Zhou Buyan looked at Yun Zheng and then at Xu Ruyi, with a complicated expression on his face, as if he remembered something.

"The days that followed, Yuzawa. ”

"Overseer. ”

"Spread out the intelligence network of our East Factory, especially in Beizhili and Shandong, maybe it will be used soon. ”

"The Overseer means Beiping?"

"Well," Xu Ruyi nodded and asked, "Is there any news from Beiping recently?"

"A while ago, news came from Beiping, King Yan's health doesn't seem to be very good, and the headache he got in the first two years seems to be a little worse, and he can't see the wind. ”

"Hmph, this disease is really good, it's not big, it's not too small, you can't go far, and you won't die. Don't delay in doing anything. ”

"Your Excellency, you mean, he's pretending?" Ye Yuze asked tentatively.

"What do you say? Xu Ruyi put down the wine glass in his hand heavily: "Headache, wait for a few years for our family to take action, and ensure that you get rid of the disease!"

。。。。。。

The back garden of the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping

Zhu Di holds the pen and hangs his wrist, and the pen walks the dragon and snake. Dao Yan stood aside, picked up the Buddhist beads in his hand, and recited the scriptures for unknown reasons in a low voice.

To say that the relationship between Yan and Zhu Di is really complicated. In essence, the two should be regarded as a relationship of mutual use.

A monk and a prince use each other. It sounds ridiculous, but it's just the way it is.

Dao Yan used King Yan to show his ambitions, and what he got was an ethereal spiritual satisfaction. And King Yan used Daoyan's power and wisdom to seize the world, and what he got was the supreme throne.

Long

After a heavy stroke, Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and smiled: "Master, look at how the lonely king's "Difficult to Walk" is written?"

Dao Yan opened a pair of triangular eyes, walked closer and looked at it, and then smiled: "Golden bottle sake, jade plate delicacies, difficult to walk." Your Highness called me here for the sake of military pay?"

"Alas!" Zhu Di retracted the smile on his face, and sighed: "My father left no less than one million soldiers for my nephew, but I only have more than 130,000 soldiers in Beiping. Expansion of the army is imperative. But after all, Beiping is only a small city in the north, with limited resources, and it is far less prosperous than Jiangnan. Ask the master to give guidance to the lonely king. ”

"The prince turned out to be worried about money. In fact, you have already written the answer to the question, and it is in this difficult way. Daoyan Zen fingered: "There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds and sails, the cangs, and the sea." ”

Dao Yan bit the last three words very hard, and it was obvious that this was the answer he gave.

"Ji Canghai?" Zhu Di frowned and pondered: "What does the master mean to open the sea?"

Dao Yan was silent, Zhu Di shook his head and said: "No, no, my father has ordered the sea to be banned six times, if I am near Kaifu on the left, my father will be furious if he knows it, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"The emperor forbids the sea, and the poor monks naturally know about it, but the benefits of sea trade are very rich, and it is a pity to abandon it. This may be a difficult matter, but it is not without a solution.

Does the prince know that there is a small country in the south of the Duoyan Sanwei station?"

"The Master is saying ... Goryeo?"

"Yes, it's Goryeo. Dao Yan smiled slightly: "The Ming Dynasty forbids the sea, and Goryeo can't help it." My caravan from Beiping went to sea in Goryeo, which was not considered a violation of the emperor's decree. In this way, the dilemma is solved. ”

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Thank you for the master's guidance, Xiao Wang understands how to do it." ”

"Ahh Dao Yan proclaimed the Buddha's name and turned away.

。。。。。。

"It's been a long time since I've been back. ”

Walking among the ruins, Tang Sai'er's face was filled with deep sadness.

Ah Da and Ah Er followed silently behind them, not saying a word.

Wei Dongfeng said abruptly: "It's been twenty-eight years. In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Chong ordered Xu Da to lead the army to attack, and now twenty-eight years have passed. ”

"Wusheng, Sikong Xuan, how many of them have been notified?"

Ah Da replied: "Mother Bing, they will be able to arrive in three days." ”

"Well, how to go next, we really have to discuss it carefully. ”

"Mother Buddha, what do you think in your heart?" Wei Dongfeng asked.

"I don't have any idea of rebuilding this roof of light, rekindling the flame, and I'm willing to do anything. ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Where is the decree of Zhu Chongba's ban on the White Lotus Sect, even if he dies, the new emperor will not easily overturn it. What's more, putting aside the imperial court, the last time Shu Di calculated, we offended the three religions and seven factions, I'm afraid... ”

"Zhu Chongba's forbidden is the White Lotus Sect, and Mingli will change his name. As for those three religions and seven sects ... Tang Sai'er smiled contemptuously: "It's all added up, is it that my White Lotus Sect is afraid of them?"

As the only sect with an "army", the White Lotus Sect does have proud capital.

"Mother Buddha has come up with a name for the new school?"

"Sun and Moon Cult!"
