Chapter 22 The curtain on the moon fell into a dream, and the star was out of the wall
Confucian turned over and got out of bed, and bowed deeply to Ye Haotian: "Saving life, it's unforgettable." ”
Ye Haotian also saluted: "It was your last trace of innate true qi that saved yourself." However, if it is later, it will be difficult to save it when the true qi is cut off. After a pause, he continued: "That trace of true qi is not Buddhism or Taoism, but it is actually an extremely authentic Confucian true qi! There are many people who study Confucianism, but very few can learn the essence of the gods. ”
Confucian replied: "Don't dare, my surname is Zhu Mingling, the word Qizhan, and he is the descendant of Zhu Xi's family." Confucianism was learned from my uncle. ”
Ye Haotian was surprised: "Such a great Confucian is still alive, and I have to ask for advice or two if I have the opportunity." ”
Zhu Ling shook his head painfully and said, "It's difficult, my uncle's life and death are uncertain, I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky!"
Ye Haotian asked: "Please sir tell me what happened one by one, and wait for me to see if there is a way." You have the heroic and righteous spirit of Confucianism, and you already have three or four points of fire, and it is said that you should be safe from all diseases, but I don't know why you have fallen into the danger of exhaustion of dirty qi?"
Zhu Ling sighed and started from the beginning: "My parents saw each other early, and I grew up with my uncle since I was a child. My uncle was familiar with the scriptures and was proficient in the Fan language, and when he was young, he went to the West with the eunuchs of the Three Treasures and knew many languages. I know a little bit about it. After returning to his hometown, my uncle settled in a small mountain village fifty miles away. I was not very interested in the official career, and I lived in seclusion with him, willing to indulge in the mountains and rivers, reciting poems, playing the piano and singing. Many years have passed peacefully. Yesterday, the little girl went to the neighbor's house to learn embroidery, and I was chatting happily with my uncle, when suddenly a person came in from outside, about 60 years old, well-dressed and dignified. However, when the yellow dog saw him, he barked in the corner of the wall, and the thrush in the birdcage also covered his face with wings, as if he had seen a ferocity. The man took a volume of essays and asked my uncle to translate them neatly into Chinese. The uncle, who was over eighty years old and in good spirits, took the scriptures and looked at them, looking at the man as he looked. I stood next and saw the opening fragment of the text, to the effect that 'rest in peace the true God, born in Tiankui, with great powers, through thousands of eons, believe in me as I do not die, the only Savior, and do whatever I want...... I saw that the other party did not have the compassion of the Buddha Sect to purify all sentient beings, nor did he have the chic of the fairy road with the breeze and the bright moon, but with a bit of evil spirit, I knew that he was not a good person, and this time he was only afraid that there would be trouble.
My uncle pondered for a moment and said, "Let me translate, but I need to tattoo a hundred taels of silver." Then there's the idea of asking my nephew to get some wine. I had to be half-drunk to translate well. He gave me a wink as he spoke, and that was the way I escaped.
The man didn't stop me and let me walk out of the door. As I passed by him, I suddenly felt a tremor in my body, and when I looked up, I saw an evil smile on his face. I went to the neighbor's house to find the little girl and fled in a hurry, and when I entered the city, I could no longer support it, but I felt sleepy, painful and tired, and the qi of the five internal organs seemed to have been sucked by the man, and then I fainted and fell unconscious. ”
Ye Haotian thought for a while and said, "Fortunately, you have practiced Confucian Qigong for many years, and the other party did not do it with all his might in front of your uncle. If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it will fall within a hundred feet. When did this happen yesterday? Where is the mountain village?"
Zhu Ling replied, "The hour should be yesterday." There is a small mountain village on the east side of Qigan Peak, and my house is closest to the foot of the mountain. ”
Ye Haotian turned back to Lan'er and said, "You take them home to rest and settle down, I'll go and take a look, and promise to come back in a while." ”
Lan'er glanced at him worriedly, and finally nodded obediently and beckoned everyone to leave.
Ye Haotian quickly came to the mountain village pointed out by Zhu Ling, took out the turtle mirror and inspected it, and found that Qing Qinglang had no demonic spirit. He walked into the village, and it was quiet, not even the sound of chickens and dogs. Walking further in, I found several people lying on the side of the road, and after careful inspection, they had been dead for a long time. continued to go inside, until he walked to Zhu Ling's house, but there was no trace of the old man, only a yellow dog died in the corner, and the thrush in the cage was already hard. He went out to inspect other houses, and found many corpses, some of them mothers holding babies, some of them gray-haired old men, and there were thirty or forty people from more than ten families in the whole village.
He examined them one by one, hoping to save one or two, but not even one of them survived. He found a sturdy man to examine it carefully, and found that there was no scar on the body, and the structure of the five organs had not changed at all, but the vitality was completely cut off, as if someone had forcibly ripped the soul away. So he had to use the mana of the turtle mirror, while thinking about the appearance of the great man, while urging the turtle mirror, trying to find the soul of the great man, the strange thing is that it is neither in the underworld, nor on the Huangquan Road, let alone reincarnated, and he could not find it! Seeing this result, he was greatly surprised in his heart, and he did not know what kind of magic the man used to collect the souls of these people, and where he hid the souls.
"This person's skill is unfathomable!
He returned to the city with a heavy heart, first came to the prefect's yamen, told Lu Zhan about the discovery of the body, and asked Lu Zhan to send a messenger to deal with it.
Back at home, Lan'er and everyone looked at him anxiously, wondering what was wrong with the old man.
He only said that he didn't find it, and didn't dare to mention anything else, and then looked at Zhu Ling calmly and said: "Sir, let's live here, this mansion just lacks a person in charge, if you don't mind, help manage the whole house." In fact, there is no work, you just treat it like your own home, and you don't have to be restrained. We go out a lot, and we really need someone to take care of our homes. ”
Lan'er pushed the girl and said with a smile: "I already recognize Xiaomei as my sister, both surnamed Zhu, just like my own sister." ”
Ye Haotian only knew the girl's name at this time, and then said with a smile: "That's also my sister-in-law, you can't treat her badly." As he spoke, he touched the Qiankun bag, took out a night pearl, and handed it to her.
The little girl took it in her hand and looked at the beads as big as a dragon's eye and thought it was very funny.
Zhu Ling was taken aback, and hurriedly refused: "This, this thing is too valuable, the little girl can't afford it! No, absolutely not, this bead is worth no less than 200,000 taels of silver!"
Xiaomei knew that it was a valuable treasure, so she reached out to return it to Lan'er.
Lan'er blocked her and said with a smile: "This is a meeting gift from Gongzi, you can accept it." It's just that you can't wear it on your body, and you can't show it in front of people. What's the difference between that and a stone?"
Before Zhu Ling could refuse, suddenly there was a noisy voice outside.
Then I heard someone shout, "This is it, I saw them go in, yes!" and then heard the sound of "bang" on the door.
Ye Haotian opened the door and found that there were more than a dozen men outside who were five big and three thick, led by a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with bulging temples, who seemed to have practiced kung fu for decades. A young man looked into the courtyard, but saw nothing, and cried out to himself, "Hey, where is the woman, where is the woman who knows witchcraft?"
Ye Haotian walked out of the door, closed the door with his hand, and said tepidly: "What are you doing here? ”
Before he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Your mother-in-law is beating people on the street, and we have come to the door!"
The leader of the humanitarian: "The woman of your mansion wantonly committed murder, not only injured a group of innocent people, but also injured the son of Lord Wu, we are here today to seek justice." ”
Ye Haotian didn't know much about the situation, and said calmly: "Please wait, I'll go in and ask the reason." ”
Several of them screamed and rushed in, but were stopped by the leader.
Ye Haotian entered the room, and before he could speak, he heard Lan'er say hatefully: "A group of scoundrels! Bullied Xiaomei in broad daylight, and I punished him for coming to the door, and he was lucky not to take his surname!"
Mrs. Lu was also there, and at this time she explained the matter in general.
Ye Haotian knew it well and returned to the door.
The men surrounded him and said, "What do you say, hand them over, or we'll get in!"
Ye Haotian looked around at the crowd: "May I ask who is the person in charge?"
The middle-aged man led by him said: "I am Liang Pu, the third master of the Yunju Martial Arts Pavilion, and I can say anything here." ”
Ye Haotian said: "I have already asked the cause of the incident, the reason is that Wu Gongzi molested the people and made no statement, which is really self-inflicted. But I don't want to make a big deal about this matter, it's better to make a big thing small, if you have any requirements, please say it directly. ”
A kid smiled contemptuously: "Oh, I know I'm scared, I want to let that woman come out, kowtow to make amends, and I have to make Wu Gongzi comfortable before I can spare her! Before Wu Gongzi woke up, you just want to make a big thing a small thing, just dreaming!" Liang Pu let them scream, and he didn't speak, putting on a look of eating Ye Haotian.
Ye Haotian didn't want to listen to their foul language, and said, "It's impossible to make amends, how do you want to solve it?"
Liang Pu snorted: "There are two methods, one is Wen and the other is Wu, the Wen is what we will see in the court, and the Wu is to call the woman out for a comparison." ”
Ye Haotian didn't speak, and took a few steps forward. The crowd retreated, thinking he was going to do something. But when he came to the edge of the bamboo forest, he folded a thick bamboo with a bowl mouth, cut it with a single palm, took a piece and erected it on the ground, and split the bamboo with his palm like a knife, and split the thick bamboo with the mouth of the bowl into thin bamboo strips in the blink of an eye, and then gave one to each person, and then turned around and entered the gate, leaving a bunch of people standing there stupidly.
The people who screamed before shut up. Liang Pu looked at the bamboo strips and was shocked in his heart, although he could also split the bamboo with one palm, but if he wanted to lift the weight like the other party, he still couldn't split the bamboo into extremely fine and even bamboo strips. Even if it is the big master of the martial arts hall, it is difficult to say whether it can be split so thinly. He was stunned for a long time, then turned back to everyone and said, "Let's go, go back and tell Mrs. Wu, our Yunju Martial Arts Hall is very ashamed, let her invite another master." ”
The courtyard quickly returned to calm, Lan'er and Xiaomei were busy decorating the room, and the two of them chatted about how to arrange it to look good. Zhu Ling looked at the dozens of ju flowers in the courtyard, shaking his head and not knowing what he was humming. Mrs. Lu sat and drank tea and waited for her husband to return.
It wasn't until almost dusk that Lu Zhan arrived. Before everyone could say a few words, suddenly there was a chaotic and hurried shout outside: "Surrounded on all sides, don't let one go, bow and arrow ready!"
Ye Haotian was angry in his heart, what kind of character is this Lord Wu? He was so arrogant that he openly mobilized people to attack people's houses! It seems that he wants to thoroughly investigate the details of this person, how can he rectify the law and order of his own mansion if he oppresses the good people and runs rampant in the township like this! He instructed everyone to stay in the house, so as not to be accidentally injured by a bow and arrow, he changed his appearance and turned into the appearance of the new prefect, opened the door and walked out.
Dozens of officials with swords stood outside the door, and some people were ambushed outside the courtyard wall and by the bamboo forest. And when the people at the door saw him come out, they rushed up to hold him down.
Ye Haotian shook everyone out of the way with his luck, and reprimanded in his mouth: "Bold! This mansion is here, which one is so bold and reckless?"
The leading magistrate suddenly found that it was the prefect who had just taken office today, and he was so frightened that he fell to his knees and shouted, "Oops! I made a mistake! My lord...... How can adults live here?"
Ye Haotian shouted: "This is the residence of the master of this mansion, who asked you to come?"
The magistrate kowtowed and said, "My lord, we came here at the behest of Wu Tongju, Wu Tongju's son was injured, and he asked us to arrest all the people here for questioning." ”
Ye Haotian said angrily: "Let Wu Tong be sentenced to see me at the government tomorrow!
The magistrate stood up and nodded in agreement.
Everyone was gloomy, but they didn't expect to get into trouble with the newly appointed prefect, and they were going to be driven back to their hometown.
Ye Haotian pressed his anger and returned to the courtyard to discuss the problems existing in his mansion with Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan said: "The land in Jiujiang Mansion is fertile, as long as there is land, you don't have to worry about eating. There are two main problems: one is that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant and domineering, causing the people to dare to be angry but dare not speak out; the other is the problem of rivers raging, and when the flood comes, houses collapse and the savings accumulated for years will be wiped out. It would be nice to build a 300-mile-long dam along the river. However, the project was too large to obtain funding from the imperial court. ”
Ye Haotian said: "It doesn't matter if the project is big. It is very important to repair the embankment, no matter how difficult it is. Now that the autumn harvest is over, the people can be mobilized to build the embankment, and the construction will be completed by next spring and summer. As he spoke, he took out 500,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them to Lu Zhan, saying: "Only when you have money can you do things, and if you take this money to repair the embankment, you will say that it is an additional appropriation from the imperial court." As for the rampant and domineering of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there is an example in front of us, you can catch a person and lift a large list, vigorously rectify the rule of officials, clear the image of the government, see how much silver they have looted, and take it back to repair the river embankment. ”
Lu Zhan nodded in agreement and said, "Tomorrow I will post a notice to encourage the people to report corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and once it is verified, it will be severely punished." ”
Ye Haotian warned him: "Brother Lu, be careful, you must strengthen your defense. Investigating corrupt officials will offend people, and some people may jump over the wall in a hurry. These days, don't go to live in the prefect's house, wait for me to slowly pass on your swordsmanship, even if you can't use it, it's good to keep fit. ”
When Lu Zhan heard that he could learn kung fu, he nodded excitedly and said yes. He has been imprisoned for ten years, and he thinks about dreaming of wings every day, and now he has decades of skills, so he has to try it.
A few people had just finished dinner, and they heard someone knocking on the door outside, and this time the knocking voice was very gentle, accompanied by a trembling voice: "Is the prefect here?
Ye Haotian opened the door, and there was a middle-aged scribe standing in front of the door, dressed in green clothes, not wearing official robes, he was very upright, thin, and serious. Ye Haotian stopped him: "This is a private house, no need to be polite." Wu Tongju, please come in!" Wu Zhiqing apologized repeatedly, and said: "I really don't know that the adults are here, but please forgive me for the offense!"
Ye Haotian let him sit down in the living room, looked at him coldly, and said, "Lord Wu, as a general judge of the government, not only has no way to teach your son, but also gathers officials to harass the people, what crime should you be guilty of?"
When Wu Zhiqing heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said: "Capital crime, capital crime, please forgive me!"
Ye Haotian reprimanded angrily: "My son ran rampant in the township without discipline, but he recruited martial arts people, and even ordered the government officials to forcibly arrest people, do you have anything else to say?"
Wu Zhiqing couldn't stop kowtowing, and said: "I know my mistakes, I am willing to cut my post for the people, even if I am in prison, I have no complaints, I just want to save the child, he is delirious, like a demented ......"
Ye Haotian looked at him left and right for a long time, and felt that he had a rigorous appearance and steady demeanor, not like an unreasonable person, and he didn't know why he had a domineering son and why he disturbed the house.
After training for a long time, Wu Zhiqing didn't even say a word of argument, but nodded frequently: "Capital crime, capital crime!"
After Ye Haotian finished training, he looked pitiful and a little unbearable, and said, "Okay, let Master Ye go with you to see if Ling Lang's brain disease can be cured, you wait." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Back in the inner house, he regained his appearance and walked out again, arching his hand to Wu Zhiqing and said, "Lord Wu, in Xia Yelin, Lord Prefect asked me to go with you." ”
Wu Zhiqing hurriedly thanked him, and went out of the gate to lead the way. After walking for about half an hour, I came to a high-rise mansion in front of the compound, and the gatehouse was extremely magnificent, which could be said to be very rare in Jiujiang.
Ye Haotian followed him into the compound, but saw that the house was carved and painted, it was very luxurious, nine before and after, each entry was different, rockery and flowing water, flowers, birds, fish and insects, everything. He secretly said in his heart: "This person is a big moth, I don't know how much public money he has embezzled!"
When I came to the innermost, as soon as I entered the inner house, I heard a woman's scolding from inside: "This old turtle, I haven't come back after going for so long! I'm going to send a martial arts expert again, but I'm going to push back and stop it! Old turtle! God damn it! Come back and twist his ears!" Wu Zhiqing's face was red and white, and he said in a low voice: "Madam, I'm back, don't scream, I've invited a doctor!"
A good-looking half-old MILF rushed over, stepped forward and twisted his ear, and then scolded: "Old turtle! I asked you to send someone to catch the demon girl, and you went to catch the person for half a day?"
Wu Zhiqing struggled and didn't break free, and shouted in his mouth: "Oh! You lighten up! It's getting late, I'll send someone to catch it tomorrow, it's important to save Long'er first, I'm inviting the most famous doctor in Jiujiang, hurry up and serve tea to the doctor!"
The woman saw Ye Haotian let Wu Zhiqing go, and said loudly: "Doctor, show me quickly, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver tattoos, and I won't see if you will get out with a blue nose and swollen face!"
Ye Haotian had never seen such a shrew, and he didn't know how Wu Zhiqing had survived all these years, so he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to his experience, and said unhurriedly at the moment: "Madam, please rest assured, I have excellent medical skills and can cure all diseases, whether it is hypochondria or lion's roar." The woman didn't react. Wu Zhiqing was embarrassed and embarrassed.
The woman led him into the room, and saw a young man in fancy clothes lying on the bed in a daze, salivating and his eyes blank. The woman wiped his saliva with a handkerchief, and cried out in her heart, "My son, are you well?"
Ye Haotian glanced at it and ordered: "Fetch the embroidery needle!"
The woman trembled with fright, and called for a few small needles that were an inch long and thin.
Ye Haotian shouted loudly: "It's too short, bring a big needle!"
But the woman refused to live or die, and cursed in her mouth: "What kind of doctor are you?
Ye Haotian's face sank, and a cold breath emanated from his body. The woman felt something different, and her tone was lowered. Ye Haotian said angrily: "I said that if I can cure it, I can cure it! What are you afraid of? If you can't cure it, you can take me as an official!"
Wu Zhiqing found a few two-inch needles by herself. Ye Haotian took it, and then ordered: "The lights are waiting!" Youyahuan thought he couldn't see clearly, so she came over and lit a big candle. Ye Haotian pinched the embroidery needle and burned it on the fire, and then his fingers flicked continuously, and the embroidery needle flew out three feet in the air, nailing it to the young man's brain, Fengfu, Baihui, Qianding, Yintang, and Eyeing Six big acupoints, among which the needles of the Fengfu acupoint were almost all submerged, leaving only a little trace outside, and what was even more mysterious was that the eyeball was in the inner corner of the eye, and the needle was an inch and a half, almost rubbing the eyeballs!
The woman was shocked and pained when she saw it, and her mouth kept cursing. Ye Haotian didn't pay attention to her, but he kept twisting the needle on the young man's head, and the young man trembled every time he twisted it, so frightened that the woman stopped and didn't dare to scold again.
Soon, Ye Haotian felt that the meridian qi in the young man's mind had been cleared, and with a wave of his hand, all six needles were taken back. However, he quietly issued a "fearful" seal. In a moment the young man woke up, looked around, suddenly trembled, hid behind the woman, and cried, "Mother, I'm afraid!"
The woman saw that her son had woken up, and happily hugged her son and comforted: "Good son, don't be afraid, if there is anything that my mother will support you, if you don't have your uncle, who will dare to get along with us!" Then she scolded Wu Zhiqing: "Old turtle, don't send the doctor away! The dead doctor tortures my son so much, I can't give a penny of silver!"
Wu Zhiqing led Ye Haotian out of the door and apologized to Ye Haotian in every way. Ye Haotian couldn't persuade him, so he just shook his head and left.
When I returned home, when I told everyone, everyone laughed and said that this Mrs. Wu was really amazing.
Ye Haotian would not let him go, and said with a "hum": "Tomorrow, I will send someone to carefully inspect the cases he has handled before, the accounts he has dealt with, and see how he embezzled and extorted so much money, the house alone is not less than 500,000 taels of silver, and it will be severely punished after it is found!"
In the evening, Ye Haotian walked around the bedroom and found that the layout of the room was very different from before, removing the original mandarin duck playing in the water and replacing it with a large landscape painting, which was pleasing to the eye and relaxed. The carpet was also replaced with a thick cashmere carpet, dyed beige, and it felt very comfortable to walk on it barefoot. Lan'er is worthy of being the lord of the court, and her vision of arranging her home is really good. Ye Haotian has too much silver, and it feels natural to spend it appropriately. He has a psychic treasure jade with him, and the money is like having it in his pocket, if he likes it, he can exchange it for a large amount of silver by looking for treasures.
After talking to Lan'er for a while, he went to see Lu Zhan and his wife and Zhu Ling's father and daughter. Everyone was drinking tea and chatting leisurely, and the rooms they lived in were all cleaned up. There are still some vacant rooms in the courtyard, which are enough for 50 or 60 people. Ye Haotian took out a few thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to Zhu Ling, asking him to find a few maids and subordinates tomorrow so that he could tidy up the room and tidy up the garden.
The next day, Ye Haotian asked Lu Zhan to rest at home, went to the mansion by himself, and sent five people to check on Wu Zhiqing. As a result, he came back two hours later and reported: "Lord Wu's accounts are clear, there is no problem!" He sent two more people to check the cases that Wu Zhiqing had tried, and instructed them to carefully inspect them, and if there was negligence, they would be expelled from the palace. An hour later, the two returned, saying that nothing could be seen from the file. They copied the names of dozens of people, all of whom were bitter masters of Wu Zhiqing's trial.
Ye Haotian circled six people at random, and sent three others to understand the situation. It wasn't until it was almost dark that the three of them came back, and they all said that Wu Zhiqing had no problem, and the people responded that this person had a good reputation. Although his son is a little broken, it has not reached the point of mutilating people's lives, and Wu Zhiqing is still praised personally.
Ye Haotian felt that he might be wrong to blame him, and it was necessary to talk to him again.
On the morning of the third day, he sent someone to invite Wu Zhiqing. The time was not big, and Wu Zhiqing walked in tremblingly.
Ye Haotian closed the door and said, "Lord Wu, please take a seat." I've been checking on you for two days, you should know, right?"
Wu Zhiqing nodded "um".
Ye Haotian said: "The result of the investigation is that your accounts are very clear, and there is no sign of corruption and perversion of the law, so it can be said that the official is relatively clear." What makes me wonder is where did your wealth come from, did it come from your ancestors, or did you bring it from your wife's family?"
Wu Zhiqing lowered her head and did not answer.
Ye Haotian radiated a righteous aura, and said in a kind tone: "It seems that your family's wealth should be related to Mrs. Zun, are you willing to say it? Of course, if you don't want to say it, I have no right to force you." But I would like to warn you to discipline your son strictly. Otherwise, it may not end well. ”
Wu Zhiqing shook his head and sighed, "Master Ye has already seen the situation of my family, so he must have told you." I can't control my son now, so I can only go with him!"
Ye Haotian suddenly asked: "Can you ask me, it seems that Mrs. Zun said that the child's uncle is a big man, I don't know who it is?" At this time, although his tone was gentle and natural, and he was full of righteousness, people couldn't squint.
Wu Zhiqing felt like a stone pressed in his heart, his face was cloudy, and he whispered after a long time: "It's Wang Xi, the popular father-in-law in the palace." After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The mystery in Ye Haotian's heart suddenly became clear, no wonder the woman was so confident, it turned out that there was such a big figure behind her, and the family's money also had a source. But thinking about the lady's call of an old turtle seems too unusual. At this time, he suddenly remembered something, and blurted out: "Master Wu, I heard that the master said that your son doesn't look like you!" Nothing else. But the last sentence has the feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here.
Looking at Wu Zhiqing again, his face turned red and purple, purple and white, and he didn't get angry for a long time, and finally just sighed and said, "My lord is right, that's really not my own son." ”
