Chapter 23: Outsmarting Xiongfeng Mountain (Part 1)

At dawn the next day, it was almost time for Wuren Temple to open, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened again.

I could see a huge group of people coming from the direction of the city gate.

This group of people completely ignored the people who had been queuing up all night, and swaggeringly led a sedan towards the temple gate, shouting and shouting along the way, and arrogantly driving away the people who blocked their way.

As for the common people, they dared to be angry but dared not speak out, because that team of people... were all government servants at the yamenmen.

Then the person in the sedan behind them is undoubtedly the county magistrate.

"Eh? Why are Master Fang here?"

"Yes, in the six months since the miracle doctor came to our county, he has never seen anyone come to see him at the yamen gate."

"Could it be that... something happened to Wuren Temple?"

"Ahem, what could happen? I think the county magistrate happens to be sick too."

"That's true. The great doctor is so dedicated to helping the world, what can happen to him?"

Wherever the yamen servant and the sedan passed by, the people were talking a lot, but no one thought of the "bad". Most people thought that Mr. Fang was just here to see a doctor, and then he just jumped in because of his status as the county magistrate.

.

In those days, the bullying of dignitaries and dignitaries was like breathing, and ordinary people had long been accustomed to it. Even if someone slapped you on the street if they didn't like you, you couldn't explain it. Is it a problem to jump in line?

To make a long story short, the sedan quickly arrived in front of the temple without any hindrance.

As for the "monks" who saw this battle, they were also a little unprepared - they had not heard that Lord Fang was coming.

However, a few seconds later, a person quickly came out of the queue and came to the leading yamen servant, asking: "Boss Zhao, what is going on?"

The person who made the inquiry was the second-in-command of the criminal gang entrenched in Wuren Temple, named Liu Minger. From his name, it can be seen that this person also came from a poor background, at least not from a scholarly family.

Of course, even with a scholarly family background, it is estimated that Liu Er's life trajectory will not change much...

This guy is the kind of decathlete who is born "treacherous, lazy, greedy, cunning, bad, greedy, possessive, vulgar, vain, and lazy". When he was a teenager, he made the mistake of making bad friends, and he was in trouble day by day.

At home, they fight outside, play for money, steal chickens and dogs... Starting from small evils, they go further and further down the road of crime step by step.

His parents and brother were both honest and dedicated farmers. They were so tired from working in the fields every day that they couldn't control him at all.

Finally, at the age of eighteen, Liu Er succeeded in losing all the family's few possessions and only one piece of land. As a result, his brother was beaten to death by debt collectors, and his parents were forced to hang themselves.

That day, after wiping away a few tears that were not very careless, Liu Er left his hometown and began to wander around the world, hanging out everywhere.

Many years have passed, and Liu Er has done so many bad things over the years that even he himself can't remember clearly. However, he is very lucky. Although he has been to prison several times, he has always been able to come out alive.

Until half a year ago, Liu Er and his bandit brothers got close to his current eldest brother "Xiong Fengshan", which brought him to the peak of his criminal career.

Don't look at the fact that he is currently living in a small monastery pretending to be a monk. Tomorrow, when the ninth day of the Lunar New Year is over, he will immediately put on a wig and go to a brothel in the next county, where he will not be taken out for seven days and seven nights.

of.

It's not just him, most of the people in this gang will take a few days off during the "Fengjiu" period, and use the fraudulent money to go to several counties around Hu County to live and drink.

At this moment, they don't know that their good days are coming to an end today...

"What's going on? Don't you understand?" Capt. Zhao is from the Yamen after all. Even if their master has colluded with this group of people, his status is still higher, so he spoke to Liu Er in an attitude

Not politely, "Master Fang wants to see you, Mr. Xiong, why don't you open the door to let him in?"

"Uh..." Liu Er looked slightly hesitant when he heard this.

As a senior criminal, he was very sensitive to this kind of thing. He immediately thought to himself: "Master Fang didn't come early or late, but he came with great fanfare on this 'clinic' day. I'm afraid he's not looking for trouble."

Children’s right?”

"What are you doing standing still? Open the door." When Liu Er was lost in thought, Capt. Zhao was already impatient, so he urged him again.

"Oh, yes...please, please..." Liu Er came to his senses, but still had no choice but to comply. After all, he did not dare to directly contradict the government.

So, at Liu Er's signal, the "monks" quickly opened the temple door and let the seven or eight government officials and sedans in.

After the group of people entered the temple, the temple door was closed again.

Obviously, no matter what Mr. Fang suddenly came to see the Divine Doctor to talk about this time, before they finished talking, the people who had been queuing up all night could only continue to wait.

And Liu Er and his gang of fake monks had to continue to guard outside the temple to maintain order among the crowd.

…………

After a while, Xiongfeng was inside the mountain house.

About two minutes ago, this old gentleman heard some movement in the courtyard.

But there was not much movement, so he thought... the time for "medical consultation" had come, and Liu Er let the people in one after another.

Therefore, at this moment, Xiong Fengshan showed off his miraculous doctor style and put on a pose with his eyes slightly closed and a fairy-like posture, ready to "receive guests".

Unexpectedly, the person who walked into the room immediately was Fang Pan.

"Huh? Mr. Fang, why are you here?" Xiong Fengshan was stunned when he saw Fang Pan.

"Hmph..." Fang Pan sneered, and walked towards Xiong Fengshan at a fast pace. As he walked, he stared at the latter's face and said, "We are all so familiar, can't I come and talk to you?"

When Xiong Fengshan took a look, he thought to himself: Why is Fang Pan's expression and movement different today than usual? And why did he come to me on the day of my "clinical consultation"? Doesn't he usually come to me quietly on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month?

Is there anyone who takes money here?

As the saying goes, "There must be ghosts when people are not normal, and there must be monsters when things go out of control." Xiong Fengshan immediately came to a conclusion - this person surnamed Fang is probably not looking for trouble... waiting for an opportunity to knock me out.

Bar?

"Master Fang." Xiong Fengshan had some calculations in his mind, so he calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Didn't we agree? All the money of the wealthy gentry will be yours, and the money of the common people will be divided into 30-70 accounts..."

"Hey~" Fang Pan interrupted Xiong Fengshan and said, "I didn't know at that time that your money was so easy to make."

"Sir... what you said..." Xiong Fengshan's eyes wandered, as if he had thought of something, "What do you mean?"

"Ha..." Fang Pan laughed again, "Okay, Mr. Xiong, stop pretending... I've already found out everything." He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, "You told me back then,

What kind of family secret recipe are you using? It's to save people, just to make some money... As a result, I recently found out that you just picked some random herbs and even weeds on the back mountain... until you eat it.

Then he uses his stomach as a cauldron, casts magic spells on it, vomits it out, rolls it into balls with flour, and sells it to the people as a 'miracle medicine'... And this medicine of yours, in addition to making people eat it,

Apart from the fact that people feel in a state of ecstasy and are a little addicted, there is no way to cure the disease at all.”

"You..." Xiong Fengshan was a little anxious when he heard that the other party had exposed all his past, "Master Fang...who did you hear these words from?"

At this moment, Xiong Fengshan's first reaction was that there was a traitor around him, and he sold his biggest secret to Fang Zhixian, which gave Fang Zhixian the capital to come here to cause trouble and raise the price.

"Is it important?" Fang Pan paused, "The important thing is... I already know it, do you admit it?"

Xiong Fengshan's face darkened: "If I admit it, what will Master Fang do?"

"It's easy to say." Fang Pan continued, "I originally thought that you were a real miracle doctor who could really help people treat their illnesses, so I agreed to the previous conditions with you, but now...now that I know that you are just cheating.

It’s just people’s money, so this is business! The conditions given when doing business and saving people must not be the same.” He said, putting on an expression that was a bit unbeatable, and twirled his fingers a few times, “So what happens in the future?

... All the money from the wealthy gentry will still belong to me, and the money from the common people will still be divided between 30 and 70, but I will get 70%, and you will get 30%..."

"Humph!" Upon hearing this, Xiong Fengshan slammed the table and stood up. At this time, his kind face of "old miracle doctor" was gone, replaced by a treacherous face full of evil and cruelty.

Evil face said, "Fang! Who the hell do you think you are talking to? Do you really think of me as a bully charlatan? Do you dare to talk to me like a lion?"

"Ha... Of course you are not a charlatan." But Fang Pan was not afraid at all, "You are just a demon! With some superficial magic skills, you led a group of bandits and killed a few monks, and then

Pretending to be a monk, occupying the temple here and becoming the king, pretending to be a miracle doctor, and using fake medicine to deceive the local people..." He paused for half a second, squinting at Xiongfeng Shandao, "I am giving you face now, so I am discussing this business with you.

, if you show no shame, what if I just do it to you?"

"Bah!" Xiong Fengshan became angry at what he said, "You greedy dog ​​official! Are you the only one who deserves to talk to me? Do you think I don't have a few things to do with you?" He also said

He stood up, raised his head and said, "During the drought the year before last, you hid half of the relief grains distributed by the court, and then resold them privately. How many people starved to death? Last year, you settled the lawsuit between Butcher Zhang and Shopkeeper Qian.

What are the benefits? And at the beginning of this year, you fell in love with the daughter-in-law of Wang Xiucai's family, and you wanted to commit adultery while Wang Xiucai was not at home. Unexpectedly, this woman had a strong personality and actually committed suicide on the spot... In anger, you falsely accused her

Wang Xiucai killed his wife, causing her to die unjustly in prison, and her family was ruined... Well, when it comes to harming the local people, I am nothing compared to you, Mr. Fang."

"Ah?" Fang Pan's expression did not change, but his tone was as exaggerated as a performance, "Where did you hear all this?"

"Hmph... money can make all the difference..." Xiong Fengshan felt as if he had regained his position at this time, and his expression became proud again, "Do you think you are the only one who can bribe the people around others?"

…………

At the same time, outside the temple gate.

The atmosphere here has become very scary.

Because the conversation between "Master Fang" and the male genius doctor just now was broadcast to everyone outside with an effect similar to a loudspeaker.

The sound came from within the walls of the temple, and the reason was unknown.

Although Liu Er and other "monks" were surprised after hearing the first two sentences, they immediately tried to enter the temple to stop the development of the situation, but they could not open the temple door no matter how hard they shouted, and they could not get a response from their companions inside the door.

And when they thought of climbing over the wall and entering the temple, the people around them had already surrounded them...

After seeing this, some people may want to ask, don't these ordinary people have any doubts about this "conversation sound broadcast in the air"? After all, loudspeakers have not been invented at that time, so they are not surprised.

Why can I hear this conversation?

Of course, you will also be confused.

But...that's not important.

First, based on the cognition and education of most people at that time, when faced with something they didn’t understand, you didn’t even have to take the initiative to explain anything, they would just make up some conclusions related to superstitious legends on their own.

Come, because it is almost a universal system that can explain everything.

Secondly, the content of the conversation just now was so exciting that it was enough for the people to ignore "why did I hear this" and focus on "the person surnamed Fang and the person surnamed Xiong actually did these things"

Came up.

To be honest, today's good show, even if it is framed and framed, the content of the conversation is completely forged... Master Fang and Doctor Xiong may not be able to clean it up.

Because the people who heard it outside didn’t know what was going on here. They only knew: We recognize Mr. Fang’s voice, and we also recognize the voice of the Divine Doctor... I have heard them say this with my own ears, and what else can I do?

Is it fake?

So is there any lie in this matter?

Of course there is, and I think all the readers have noticed it - the "Fang Pan" today is fake, and is pretended to be Taoist priest Fudozi.

The real Fang Pan was in a coma at this time, trapped under the seat of the sedan in the courtyard.

It is easy to use Fuzi's Taoism and use a blind trick to pretend to be Lord Fang, and his method is not something that Xiong Fengshan can see through.

Except for Fudozi, the other three people are also prepared.

Huang Donglai and Lin Yuancheng both put on disguises and pretended to be the bearers summoned by the "county magistrate" temporarily.

Why do they need them to carry the sedan chair?

First, it is convenient for them to sneak in together, and second, because in addition to the immobile body, this sedan also hides a Tyrell, and there is a square pan under the seat. You need to replace it with two real sedan bearers...

It may not be possible to lift it up the mountain this way.

The four of them dressed up and hid, and when they were ready, the fake Fang Pan transformed into a fugitive called the government officials, and the group of people came to kill them from the county government office in a furious manner.

After entering the courtyard just now, the four of them took action as soon as the temple door was closed.

First, Lin Yuancheng made a sudden attack, and it only took a few seconds for the seven or eight accompanying government officials near the sedan to lie down.

Then, I saw two black shadows emerging from the sedan...

One is the fake Fang Pan in the form of Fudozi; the other is Tyrael holding a translucent hammer.

There were not many "monks" left in the temple, but they were already stunned when they saw Lin Yuancheng's "palanquin bearer" operation. Then they saw Master Fang and a big black man rushing over, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

On the ground...many people were knocked down by these two people without even making a sound.

While his companions were "clearing the place", Huang Donglai was already arranging the "broadcast".

I think you all remember that Huang Donglai had already made props similar to "microphones" as early as the "Dragon Cup", so everything was ready-made. This time, he only needed to ensure that the sound of the broadcast was only transmitted to the outside world, and did not return the sound to the parties involved.

Just stay in your house.

Just like that, in just a moment, the four people had finished setting up.

Next, Fuzi entered the room of Dr. Naxiong with a hidden "microphone", and based on the information he squeezed out from Fang Pan last night, he made some clichés and "self-exposure".

So, there was this scene outside the temple...

At this point, the common people have nothing to say to these fake monks. No one knows who kicked it first. Anyway, when they came to their senses...the bandits pretending to be monks were all drowned.

Amidst the fists of the crowd, the mountains and the sea.

It was at this moment that a "squeak" sound was heard, and the door of Wuren Temple slowly opened a crack.

Can the common people endure this? Suddenly someone opened the temple door and took the lead to rush in.

The huge crowd at the back was also scrambling to push upwards, as if in a state of "if you get there late, you'll be gone".

Why do you think they are so anxious?

That's hard to explain.

Some want to go in and beat Xiong Fengshan to death, some want to go to Xiong Fengshan to recover the money they were defrauded from, some realize that if they go late, their money may be robbed by people in front of them, and some want to beat the county magistrate to death.

It's about revenge for relatives who died a few years ago.

Of course, there are many... thinking that maybe they can find some "magic medicine" in the temple to cure their addiction first.

In short, the crowd poured in from the gate of Wuren Temple like a dam bursting, and in the blink of an eye, most of the fake monks who fell at the gate were trampled to death.

On the other side, hearing the noise outside, Fuzi naturally knew that the matter had reached the "opening the door" step, so he stopped hesitating, turned around immediately, and ran out of the house in a flash.

Xiong Fengshan was dumbfounded when he saw this. He thought to himself that this person named Fang has such a light kung fu as a god?

He just hesitated, and when he chased him out of the house, Fuzi had already disappeared.

What was waiting for Xiongfeng Mountain outside was a large group of angry people who poured into the temple.

"The man named Xiong is here!" The first voice shouted was Lin Yuancheng, who had already blended into the crowd.

"What a liar! Pay me back!"

"You bastard named Xiong! Even after I took your evil medicine, my brain couldn't work anymore. I lost all my gambling money in the past few days!"

"You liar! I took your medicine and my wife went back to her parents' home!"

"Our sow can't give birth to piglets! It's all your fault!"

"Pay up! Pay up!"

"Pay back the money! Pay back your life!"

Not long ago, the group of people who had been lining up all night long outside the temple with great piety, now had a 180-degree turn in attitude. Anyway, all bad things happened because of the fake medicine given to them by this man named Xiong.

It has nothing to do with themselves.

But in fact, the "Mengxin Prescription" that Xiong Fengshan gave them was not that evil.

You can easily tell from Fudoko's comment about this technique at the end of the last book that this is not a big deal.

As for the addictiveness of this drug, it is true, but it is probably only a little stronger than the addictive level of cigarettes. If you really don't take it, you will quit it in ten and a half months.

Xiong Fengshan was able to set up a trap here to deceive people for half a year. This "Meng Xin Fang" itself probably only accounted for three percent of the credit. In fact, he acted as a "miracle doctor" in treating these people with his words and psychological hints.

Wait, that's where his true brilliance lies.

This matter is actually similar to a pyramid scheme. What products are sold is secondary. The main thing is that the brainwashing model must be effective. If it can collude with the government, it can be even more unscrupulous.

"What's going on?" At this moment, Xiong Fengshan looked at the crowd surrounding him. Although he was filled with surprise and suspicion, there was no fear on his face.

He really doesn't need to be afraid.

Liu Er and the others are dead, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if the scam is broken.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As long as he can escape unscathed, everything can be done again.

And the reason why he thinks he can escape unscathed is also very simple - he knows Taoism.

Although Xiong Fengshan's skills are only superficial, they are not something that the ordinary people in front of him can deal with.

"Drink!" Just when the few people closest to him were about to grab him by the collar, Xiong Fengshan suddenly shouted loudly.

In an instant, an invisible aura bloomed in the area ten feet in front of him, like clouds rising from the plains, with faint purple light.

And his actions also succeeded in overturning several men who were rushing forward, and stopped the crowd surrounding them.

Youdao made great efforts at one go, then declined again and again, and finally exhausted. It was stopped by Xiong Fengshan's hand. The crowd wanted to advance again, but no one dared to be the leader.

"Everyone, in the past six months since I came to Huxian County, I have not only saved countless lives, but I have been kind to everyone, right? Why do you want to break into the temple and commit murder like this today?" This Xiong Fengshan didn't know that he had been with Fudou before.

Zi's ​​conversation has been "broadcasted". Based on the situation at hand, he speculated that Liu Er and the others might have betrayed the gang under the scheme of "Master Fang". Therefore, he still tried to pretend at this time. Anyway, he had the right knowledge.

When you have skills close to you, you have nothing to fear. If you really can't pretend anymore, just run away.

"What are you pretending to be! We heard everything you just said to Fang!"

"Yes, yes! Everyone heard it!"

The common people shouted again at this time.

When Xiong Fengshan heard this, he was also shocked. He thought to himself: How could the conversation between me and Fang Pan be heard by so many people outside? Is there some expert present today who is using some kind of magic that I don't know?

"Oh? That's weird. Master Fang and I were talking in the room. How could you hear it? Do you all have a good ear?" Xiong Fengshan's mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of using his opponent in turn.

The method used was used as a point of doubt to defend himself, "I'm afraid... you were deceived by someone using magic tricks, right?"

"this……"

"Yes...I was wondering just now, how could we hear those two people talking?"

Seeing that someone was wavering, Xiong Fengshan immediately continued: "I did speak to Master Fang just now, but that 'Master Fang' seems to be someone pretending to be, and what he said was mostly nonsense..." At this time, Xiong Fengshan

He had already come back a little bit, so he used his guess as a basis for rebuttal, "There are a lot of strange things going on today. I'm afraid there is no evil spirit who is causing trouble and tempting everyone to come here to cause trouble..."

His reasoning was indeed correct. After listening to it, the common people felt that it seemed reasonable... In addition, Xiongfengshan has been operating here for half a year, and many people have been operating here for half a year.

They had no doubts about him, so many people began to feel undecided in their hearts.

Just when Xiong Fengshan felt that things were still turning around and was about to continue to mediate, suddenly!

"Ha! Haha...hahahaha..." A burst of laughter sounded from the horizon.

Laughter spreads and people follow.

The crowd followed the sound and saw a person flying in the air. Like a god descending from the earth, he floated down and landed on the eaves of the temple.

This man was dressed in Taoist robes, with white hair and a boyish face. Although he was not tall, he had a tall and straight figure. Standing on the eaves of the house, the golden rooster stood alone, and he was as stable as Mount Tai. He looked like a master.

This costume should be familiar to all viewers. It is exactly the "Xudong Old Fairy" costume that Huang Donglai once wore at the "Seven Heroes Meeting".

Now that he is dressing up again, his purpose is also very clear, which is to "defeat magic with magic" and have a good fight with Xiong Fengshan in front of these hesitant people.
