After the woman in red finished speaking, she turned around and was about to jump into the river.
The grim-faced Taoist priests and others were on guard this time, and without saying a word, they stepped forward together, pounced and tripped, and quickly pushed him to the ground.
At this moment, Meng Qingyao and others also rushed over from behind. When they saw this, they were surprised: "We heard a lot of commotion here, but we didn't expect there was an ambush."
"I'm not sure if it's an ambush." The grim-faced Taoist priest was busy tying up the person, and replied: "This woman has been talking nonsense, even the poor Taoist suspects that she was abandoned here by Mrs. Qi."
"Nonsense? What did she say?"
"I didn't hear anything about the poor Taoist. There seems to be a jingle of 'Headless python, break into the Liu family', and there are some things like being a stooge."
"I'm talking about you bitch Taoist priest!" The woman in red who was suppressed underneath her squeezed out a curse between her teeth: "Those who are prophets will not die well!"
"Grandma is still going on!" The Taoist Priest with a grimace put a little more force on his hand and said fiercely: "If you scold Grandpa again, I will strangle you to death, you stinky bitch!"
"Hahaha, if you dare, strangle me to death. This is outrageous! My son dares to hit my mother!"
He Siniang saw that the woman was getting more and more happy as she scolded her, and the Taoist priest's face turned green with anger as she looked at her. So she quickly took out a handkerchief, stuffed it tightly in the woman's mouth, and then advised her: "Don't try again." That talk is so quick. I used to be a Ji Ling girl, but now I have found the antidote and escaped from the Qi Mansion. We all are the mortal enemies of Old Mrs. Qi. If you really want to survive, you might as well put away other thoughts and live a good life. Let’s talk about what happened before and after.”
The twisting body of the woman in red seemed to have stopped, and she was moaning, not knowing what she was saying.
Zhao Sanshui noticed that his hand was loosened and said, "Did she listen? Will she put a gag in her mouth and take a look?"
He Siniang nodded, and then pulled out the handkerchief.
Who would have thought that as soon as the gag was removed, the woman in red immediately scolded her again: "Hahaha, my lackey's mistress, you will also die badly!"
He Siniang's face sank when she heard this, she straightened up and stamped her feet, and said angrily: "You are really ignorant! I wanted to help you for the sake of my fellow sect, but who knew that you are as smelly as the stones in the latrine?" So hard, hum! You deserve to die!"
"Even if I die, I won't let you go when I get to the underworld! Hahahahaha! If a headless python breaks into the Liu family, you will die sooner or later!"
"Look, here comes the motherfucker again. What does this sentence mean?"
"I seem to have some ideas." Zhao Sanshui stood up: "Gag her mouth first, and let's talk in detail."
The Taoist priest with a grimace took He Siniang's handkerchief, turned around and gagged the woman in red's mouth again.
"Third brother, please tell me clearly, what's going on with this bitch? We can't waste any more time like this."
"Then I'll make a long story short. Judging from the words this woman said, it doesn't seem like she's talking about this dynasty, or... she's not from this dynasty at all."
"What?!"
"Xinchao!" Meng Qingyao suddenly interrupted: "She is from Xinchao!"
"Brother Meng also noticed it?"
"'Headless python, breaking into the Liu family', doesn't this refer to Wang Mang, the usurper of the Han Dynasty?"
"Yes, the Han Dynasty's surname is Liu, and Wang Mang is the chief culprit of dividing the Han Dynasty into two Han Dynasties, but why do you call him a 'Headless Python'?"
"There are some legends here." Zhao Sanshui said: "It is said that when Wang Mang was in power, people could often see headless pythons in the public. These pythons would not eat, and they looked like large dormant earthworms. It happened that during Wang Mang's implementation of the New Deal, locust plagues and plagues occurred frequently across the country. These disasters were all insect pests, so people associated them with headless pythons and believed that the cause of the disaster was precisely because of the metamorphosis of these natural enemies of pythons. It was caused by incompetence, and it was used to allude to the harsh laws and regulations of the current emperor Wang Mang, so it spread from word to word, and Wang Mang quietly became known as the 'Headless Python' among the people."
Meng Qingyao nodded when he heard the words: "Brother Zhao is right, but in addition, there is a literal meaning. 'Python' is the ancestor of all insects, and removing the insects to stay in the Mang means betraying the ancestors and abandoning the clan. Wang Mang's My aunt is Empress Xiaoyuan and Wang Zhengjun. Her whole family has been living in Han Dynasty for generations. Who would have thought that Wang Mang would actually go to the Han Dynasty to build a new country and usurp the Liu family's 200-year-old foundation. This move is truly worthy of his honour. 'Headless python'."
"Brother Meng is so knowledgeable!" Zhao Sanshui couldn't help but admire.
"It's just superficial, but now that we've talked about it, I seem to have figured out the other words of the Taoist priest."
"Is it the phrase 'take advantage of others'?"
"Yes, the Book of Predictions and the Book of Wei should be what the Book of Prediction is talking about. It is a Confucian theory developed in the pre-Qin Dynasty. Later, after development and changes, it gradually turned into the mythical stories in the Yihe Tuluo Book and the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. The prophetic theology based on prophecy was particularly popular in the Han Dynasty, especially by Wang Mang. During the Regency period, the wizards and alchemists who began to reuse prophecy theology even obtained the basis for nominally usurping the Han Dynasty by relying on the prophecies in their mouths that were not known to be true or false. , and after Wang Mang became the emperor, these wizards flattered him even more, and used their power to bully others, creating a foul atmosphere inside and outside the imperial city, and its impact was no less than the witchcraft disaster during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. "
The grim-faced Taoist priest suddenly realized: "No wonder he has been treating this poor Taoist like a stooge. It turns out it's because of this Taoist robe."
"From what I heard from the beginning, I felt that what this woman was yelling about was indeed an old incident from the previous dynasty. However, it would be a bit of a stretch to say that she is from the new dynasty, right?"
"How can you say it's nonsense?" Zhao Sanshui replied: "Did He Siniang forget that Jiang Sanwan had brought out a new dynasty woman from the bucket before?"
"Wait a minute, I won't discuss whether that woman is from the New Dynasty, but I recognize the one in front of me. She is clearly dressed like a girl. How could she be from the New Dynasty? She was from the New Dynasty. There is no brand name like Jin Yuefu yet.”
"Siniang is right, there is no way this woman is from the New Dynasty." The grim-faced Taoist priest interjected: "I was attacked by people from the pre-Qin Dynasty before, but I didn't know that in the end she was just a wild woman from a mountain village."
"What does the Taoist priest mean?"
"This woman is just a crazy Ji Ling girl, but most likely she was suffering from the soul-leaving syndrome." The Taoist priest with a grimace said and looked at Guitoujiao: "The Taoist guessed that she went crazy in the fight and ran away for some reason. After getting out, and then thinking about the rumors about Jiang Sanwan in the town, I'm afraid there are some very sharp mechanisms hidden in this bucket."
Zhao Sanshui heard this and asked in confusion: "Taoist priest thinks that the woman Jiang Sanwan is actually an ordinary woman, but she accidentally got into a fight and got caught by a trap and went crazy, so she lied about being from the New Dynasty?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace shook his head, and did not want to refute this question prematurely. After all, the Zhao brothers came here to live forever. He was also prepared to sell a few more favors on the way so that the other party could lead him to find the antidote for the iron thread bug. , so he replied: "The women in Jiang Sanwan all dress and behave like people from the New Dynasty. It is difficult to draw a conclusion on this matter. We have to see the truth with our own eyes. We just need to be prepared in advance and don't get caught in the fight." A sharp mechanism is good."
