After waiting for half a month, Yan Feng did not wait for the monk to ask Zhang Xiu for the stolen items, which made him suspicious...
Was that monk killed by Zhang Xiu?
After all, Zhang Xiu has a criminal record, and what about that string of jade beads? He grew up with his master since he was a child, and has seen a lot of the world and many masters, but he has never seen a Buddhist magic weapon of this level.
This string of Buddhist beads is not only as powerful as the abyss and the sea, and when worn during practice, it can make people fall into trance very quickly, but it also has strong Buddha nature on it.
If this is put up for auction... Bah, if this is taken to the world, it will definitely attract competition from countless temples, and even make some eminent monks become greedy.
It's a pity that Zhang Xiu regarded it as an ordinary jade article. He held it in his hand and plated it all day long, until it was almost full of paste...
However, although Zhang Xiu did not focus on cultivation, he was not idle either.
I was busy building embankments all day, resettling the refugees, building houses and dividing fields. After half a year, I finally finished all the matters.
On the day the dam was built, Zhang Xiu was invited by the people to watch the inauguration ceremony of the dam.
Zhang Xiu led the people on the road and saw a new ancestral hall built next to the river embankment from a distance.
The ancestral hall occupies a large area and looks majestic and solemn. Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiu frowned in confusion: "Eunuch Zhang? Who is this Eunuch Zhang? I have never heard of such a person in Hangzhou Prefecture?"
The corners of Yan Feng's eyes twitched slightly and he said, "Brother Zhang, do you think it's possible? That person's name is Mr. Zhang..."
Zhang Xiu suddenly realized: "It turns out to be a public ancestral hall. Let me tell you, what blind eunuch dares to build an ancestral hall on my site without paying the protection fee."
While talking, Zhang Xiu had already walked to the embankment. When he saw the three characters "Zhang Gongdi" written on the stone tablet on the embankment, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Wait a minute, the Zhang Gong written on the plaques on the embankment and ancestral hall door, can't it be me?"
Xiang Gao, who was standing next to him, smiled slightly: "Who are you, sir? In the entire Hangzhou Prefecture, can you find anyone who dares to call you Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Xiu said with a troubled face: "But I am still alive. Seeing that ancestral hall makes me feel like I am visiting my own grave..."
Xiang Gao coughed, and then his expression became serious: "Sir, you have countless people alive. The people are grateful from the bottom of their hearts and spontaneously built this shrine for you. You are definitely worthy of it!"
Yan Feng looked at Zhang Xiu's tangled look and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with a weird smile: "Actually, this is not the first time."
"In Jinhua Mansion, the people also built a temple for you, called Lanruo Temple. The Buddha statue was carved in your likeness. Even I was carved into a Dharma Protector Vajra. So now besides being Qingtian Master Zhang Father-in-law is still a living Buddha."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu felt bad: "..."
No wonder he couldn't find Lanruo Temple before and couldn't free Ning Caichen. How dare he think that this ruined temple had just been built, and it was built just for himself!
"It's really the good fortune that makes people..."
After a moment, Zhang Xiu sighed slightly, then thought of something, and asked seriously: "These are not the important points. The important point is, how to divide the sesame oil money received by the ancestral hall and the temple?"
Yan Feng: "@#￥%￥#@......"
After a while, Zhang Xiu led Yan Feng, who rolled his eyes, to the center of the embankment. Surrounded by everyone, he gave a speech, and then ordered someone to throw a roasted piglet that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside into the river.
Ao Xue, who transformed into a little white dragon, jumped out of the river, grabbed the roasted pig in one bite, and swam to the shore happily wagging her tail.
Following the sound of firecrackers and the roar of gongs and drums, the people distributed steamed buns that Zhang Xiu had ordered in advance, and happily held a temple fair on the embankment.
Zhang Xiu ate candied haws and strolled around the temple fair for a while. Suddenly, a girl in Taoist robes hurriedly walked over and shouted to Zhang Xiu: "Zhang Xiu, run quickly, the court has sent someone to arrest you!"
When Zhang Xiu saw that the visitor was the eldest princess Huaiyu, she couldn't help but be slightly startled: "Did the imperial court know about my killing of officials in Hangzhou?"
The eldest princess was surprised: "You also killed the official?"
She quickly came to her senses, shook her head and said, "That's not the case. The students you taught rebelled!"
Zhang Xiu took a breath and took the eldest princess to the ancestral hall to listen to her story.
Zhang Xiu opened a school in Jinhua Mansion and taught more than a hundred students. After graduation, these students traveled in small groups to various places to express their ambitions.
However, after traveling for a year, these people, without exception, all chose to rebel, and they did so vigorously...
Memorials for the suppression of troops from various places were sent to the capital. The emperor was furious and ordered a detailed investigation. Finally, it was found that these rebels were all students of Zhang Xiu. He immediately ordered people to arrest Zhang Xiu and arrest him in front of everyone in the world. He explained the canonical punishment and frightened the thieves.
Zhang Xiu took a breath after hearing this: "Isn't this right? The dean of the School of Fortune is obviously Yan Feng. What does it have to do with me, Mr. Zhang?"
Yan Feng: "..."
You can be a human being!
The eldest princess also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Anyway, you should run away quickly. The emperor's uncle is really angry this time. The emperor's grandmother is now bedridden and cannot protect you."
Zhang Xiu frowned slightly and said, "But where should I run? As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. Or should I hide in the palace?"
The eldest princess twitched her cheek hard and said, "My master said that if you have nowhere to go, you can go to Shangqing Palace for temporary refuge. She asked me to inform you."
Zhang Xiu pondered for a while and said: "Is it just a temporary escape? It seems that Daxia is really coming to an end. Unfortunately, in the past eight hundred years, Daxia has rotted to its roots. It seems that it is time for it to rest in the ground. "
The eldest princess said with a complicated face: "My master said the same thing. She said you just added fuel to the fire under this tall building that is about to collapse. She told me not to blame you."
"Actually, how can I blame you? I have been to many places with my master in the past two years. Corrupt officials are rampant everywhere, and the people are living in dire straits. The emperor's uncle is obsessed with power, has great ambitions and lacks talent. He can't even control the court, so how can we talk about ZTE? Summer."
Zhang Xiu sighed for a while, then suddenly his body trembled and he said with a look of horror: "My position as dean is gone!"
The eldest princess: "..."
How long has it been since then, and I’m still thinking about becoming the dean!
Half a day later, Zhang Xiu rolled up his gold and silver treasures and set out on the road with large and small bags. The people sent Zhang Xiu out of the city in tears.
Zhang Xiu rode an old cow and stopped outside the city gate, turned around and looked at the reluctant people behind him, and said with a smile: "Why are you all crying? Sooner or later, I, Zhang, will come back!" "
As he spoke, he performed the art of soaring into the clouds and riding the mist, and flew into the sky amidst the shocked eyes and exclamations of the people. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Qing Palace on Mount Laoshan and appeared in front of Taoist Xuantian.
Taoist Xuantian looked at Zhang Xiu falling from the sky and couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "You came quite quickly."
"My ability to soar through the clouds and ride on the mist is unrivaled in the world, but I always feel like I've left behind something unimportant..."
Zhang Xiu smiled proudly, then frowned and scratched his hair with his hand.
Taoist Xuantian's eyelids twitched, he took a look at Zhang Xiu, who was carrying large and small bags, and said, "You must have left my apprentice in Hangzhou?"
Zhang Xiu took a breath: "It seems so!"
Outside the city gate of Hangzhou Mansion, Yan Feng looked at the twitching eldest princess and Ao Xue, patted the old cow with big bull eyes, and said with a smile: "Stop being sulky, let's get on our way!"
