A licensed trader who has been exiled has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. He didn't even give the Junzhou He family face, so let me come! "
As he spoke, Butler Guo set up a stool and sat in front of the mountain gate, shouting loudly: "Which one is the new prisoner?"
Guard Quan Chuhua said angrily: "That's the master! What are you going to do?"
The butler scolded: "You are the one who has been stabbed a thousand times! Whose power do you rely on! You are so arrogant and rude! Come to Junzhou, if you are a dragon, you have to curl up for me, if you are a tiger, you have to lie down for me! Fight me !」
Quan Chuhua said: "What crime do we have? Are you an official or a citizen? Why are you beating people!"
"You're a thief, and I'm the one who owns the goods. A slight cough is a sin!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Mr. He sat on the sliding pole and looked sideways at the dilapidated Fuzhen Temple. He saw the housekeeper cursing endlessly and waved to leave.
When the steward saw this, he quickly dropped his stick and caught up and said:
"Master, you can't let Mrs. Liu go like this!"
Mr. He Sheng said with a smile: "Just a few curses. If you do this endlessly, you will have to argue with several imperial officials and lose the face of the He family."
"What you said is wrong!"
Before Master He could react, the housekeeper shouted loudly to everyone around him:
"Everyone in the Taoist temple, listen to me. According to the laws of Daqi, prisoners who are exiled to the smog-filled ground must kneel down when meeting local officials! You prisoner is so rude. When you meet my master He, you must Don’t kneel down, Liu Yufei! Come out and bow down quickly!”
"Come out and kneel!"
"Come out and kneel!"
When the servants heard that the eldest princess from Nanjing was asked to kneel down, they immediately became interested and started making noises.
These servants bully men and women in Junzhou on weekdays. They do many unscrupulous things in the fish and meat village, but this is the first time they bully a relative of the emperor. Thinking about it makes everyone excited.
Officer He Sheng coughed twice, turned over and dismounted: "Old Guo, just curse a few times, why do you have to be so aggressive?"
Guo Shengyuan sneered: "Sir, when Lu Xiangsheng and the others came to Huguang to purge their parents-in-law, they killed many students, so they weren't aggressive?"
Mr. He nodded and said: "Yes, this witch almost gained power. If she succeeds in her rebellion in Nanjing, it will be our He family's turn to be unlucky. However, I have already scolded her, so I won't argue with her."
Butler Guo pulled the master aside and lowered his voice: "Master, you are usually such a smart person, why are you so confused now?"
Mr. He quickly handed over his hand and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Butler Guo didn't show off, and said anxiously: "Who is the eldest princess? She is a thorn in the side of the imperial court. From the Long Live Lord to the Junzhou County Magistrate, no one wants to kill her, just because of face. Now it's down to Isn't it God's will to let you touch the border of Junzhou first? Master, you have read more than me. You must have heard the story of Jia Chong in the Wei and Jin Dynasties... We have finished the matter today, up and down I will remember your kindness, sir, and let’s talk about it later.”
Butler Guo pointed at the Fuzhen Palace and said with bright eyes: "She came from Nanjing, didn't she bring any money with her? At worst, she brought the treasures from the palace... When the time came, she set a fire, and she didn't know what was going on. Sleep."
"If I get the money, I'm afraid I'll be targeted by many people. It's true that the He family is very powerful in Junzhou, but this matter is not just a matter for Junzhou Prefecture..."
Lao Guo nodded and said with a smile: "Master, why should you worry? If you really have a lot of money, we will do some sorting and we will take the bulk. After all, it is Liu Yufei who died, and no one will be held accountable."
He Shengyu's eyes changed uncertainly, and he said undecidedly: "Although she is a guilty person, she is still the eldest princess and the biological flesh and blood of the late emperor. If we do this in front of the True Martial God, aren't we afraid of being punished by God?"
The housekeeper looked up and laughed as if he heard a very pleasant smile.
"God's punishment? Master, you just fulfilled your vows at the Golden Summit, burned incense, and became an old woman who eats fasts and chants Buddha's name. How did you become so kind-hearted? When the Supreme Emperor divided our land, was there any heaven's punishment? When we cultivated In Tianxin City, when the big families in Junzhou were forced to pay one thousand taels of silver each, was there ever a day..."
"Stop talking and leave me alone."
Mr. He Sheng's worries are not unreasonable. If things go as planned, things may not go well.
Instead of Jia Chong, he would become Cheng Ji, who would be taken out as a scapegoat in the end.
But what if Liu Yufei's carriage really contains treasures and property?
Lao Guo struck while the iron was hot: "Master, it's not too late. If we don't take action, if we delay it for a few more days, it will be easier for others. Do you think they are here to burn incense for our ancestors these days? They are all weasels paying New Year greetings to chickens. Thinking of this reunion Where’s the True View...it’s not too late!”
As he spoke, the mountain door was closed from the inside.
Several servants came forward with curses, beat their fists on the mountain door, and yelled curses.
"Mother named Liu, get out of here!"
"Come out and kowtow to my master. Kowtow three times and I will spare your life!"
The servants cursed loudly until two sharp arrows were shot from the courtyard wall.
The two servants fell to the ground, holding their thighs and rolling in pain.
"The prisoner committed a murder!"
"I've turned against you!"
"Kill me!"
Zhao Xianzhen lay on the wall, slowly took out a big arrow from the arrow holder, and aimed at the servants who knocked on the door.
"If you don't care about your life, come here! I just shot him in the leg, if he dares to move forward, I will shoot a hole in his head!"
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
"Go back and get the guy!"
All the servants were red-eyed. Without Lao Guo's command, the thirty or forty people went back to get their bows and muskets.
When Butler Guo came, he said that there are tens of thousands of taels of silver, hundreds of fine Eastern beads, and more than a dozen cartloads of treasures transported from the capital in the Fuzhen Temple. Today, the master is showing mercy, and everyone who sees it will have a share. , just pay half of it.
The servants withdrew from the bow and arrow range, raised their muskets and fired randomly at the mountain gate, instantly suppressing the firepower of the archers.
Master He saw that the matter had reached this point and was irreversible, so he had no choice but to wave his hand to the housekeeper.
Butler Guo looked happy and called on his two servants to protect him. He also joined the battle to attack the mountain gate.
"Don't worry, sir. I'll come to tell you the good news later."
A group of servants cut down a pine tree beside the road, and everyone started to knock on the door while carrying the trunk.
Officer He Sheng suddenly stopped Lao Guo and warned him carefully:
"Remember, don't leave anyone alive. If you want to do it, you have to do it."
~~~~~
The main hall of Fuzhenguan.
The statue of Emperor Zhenwu has disheveled hair, eyes hanging down, and a five-color turtle on his feet. He stands with a sword and his eyes are like lightning. He is flanked by two generals, the turtle and the snake, and the golden boy and girl who record the merits and demerits of the three realms.
Liu Yufei set up the altar and held various magical weapons used by her father during his lifetime: the three-pure bell to summon gods and exorcise demons, the five-color flag to recruit soldiers and summon gods, and the magic sword to slay demons and slay demons.
The eldest princess wears a Taoist robe, wields a magic sword, shakes the three pure bells, steps forward and steps forward, chants a mantra, pours the true energy of the three lights of the sun, moon and stars into the water, wields the sword and sprinkles the divine water to eliminate the foul smell in the altar. Barrier forbidden altar.
Violent curses, screams, vibrating bowstrings, and explosions of firecrackers outside the wall were all very close to her, yet seemed far away from her.
"Emperor Xuanwu, the God of Blessing Saint Xuantian, the Infinite Patriarch, the Great Emperor Zhenwu Dangmo, the Infinite Blessing Heavenly Lord. The Patriarch is merciful and cares about all living beings like us, and is reborn. My parents were pregnant for ten months and nursed for three years. Hard work Hundreds of thousands, diligent thoughts... I pity my father, overcame thorns and thorns, fought with blood in hundreds of battles, recommended Xuanyuan with blood, blessed Jiuzhou, and never returned from the Eastern Expedition. I now hold on to the idea of equality, and eliminate all dangers, greed, and anger.
A scream interrupted the eldest princess's prayer.
When he looked back, Zhao Xianzhen, who was covered in blood, was still shooting arrows with his bow. He retreated and resisted.
He struggled like a mantis blocking a car, and finally retreated to the statue of Zhenwu God and collapsed to the ground.
"Your Highness, I have sacrificed my life, Your Highness, take care."
The eldest princess did not look at the dead guard and continued to pray.
There were messy footsteps and hoarse coughs outside.
"Catch the witch, ask her where the money is hidden, and set fire to the Fuzheng Temple!"
Great mercy, rescue the suffering.
The general manager of Sanyuandu and the envoy of Jiutian Youyi.
To suppress the heaven and help the obedience, the true martial spirit responds,
Good fortune and prosperity, kindness and righteousness.
The true king of Xieyun, the god of governance and blessing,
Master Yuxu, God Xuantian,
The incarnation of Jinque, the Demon God. "
Recite the last prayer.
The one-foot-five-foot statue suddenly opened its eyes, and the turtle and snake at its feet woke up at the same time. The python spit out a blood-red tongue more than three feet long, soared into the air from the turtle's back, opened its bloody mouth, roared angrily, and looked down at all living beings. .
