The civil servant named Duan scolded these guards and told them to put away their swords.
Because after all, Li Xiuyuan was the hero of this disaster relief, and he was also a scholar. He was invited by the Yamen this time. Now Master Fu's guards are drawing swords on him. If this word spreads, wouldn't it be said that Master Fu invited him to the Hongmen Banquet?
?
This will damage Master Fu's reputation here.
And even so, it is a very bad thing to draw a sword against a scholar who is a scholar in Jinling City.
Scholar? Scholar?
The guards who blocked Li Xiuyuan looked at each other in disbelief.
How is it possible, how is it possible for a scholar to have such martial arts?
Aren’t all scholars just powerless?
These guards seemed to have seen the most incredible thing in the world, but looking at the exploding riding whip, they had to admit that the scholar in front of them named Li Xiuyuan did have such amazing martial arts. To deal with such a person
, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the martial arts and strength of these people.
"Little sister, please don't be rude. Didn't you hear what Uncle Duan said? Everyone, please step aside." The woman who looked exactly like Nie Xiaoqian said.
The guards then put away their swords and stepped aside with very vigilant expressions.
Li Xiuyuan stared at the woman and said, "Nie Xiaoqian, haven't you already been reincarnated? Why are you here?"
"Nie Xiaoqian?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid this young master has admitted the wrong person. My name is not Nie Xiaoqian, my name is Fu Qingfeng. The person who offended this young master just now was my sister Fu Yuechi, Yuechi, why don't you come and give this a favor?"
Mr. Li, please apologize for asking you to beat people indiscriminately."
"Oh, it's sister." The woman named Fu Yuechi responded, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, but she still obeyed and got off her horse, bowing and apologizing to Li Xiuyuan.
"Fu Qingfeng, Fu Yuechi?" Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly.
So that's it... Is there really anyone in the world who knows Zhang like this?
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment, but then smiled dumbly. This is a fairy tale world, where there are monsters and ghosts. What can happen? It is not impossible for two people with the same appearance to appear in front of them.
"I was offended just now. I mistakenly thought you were a female ghost I met before, so I couldn't help but look at you a few more times. If there is any offense, please forgive me." He apologized in return.
"Female ghost? Sister, he said you look like a female ghost. How come you have seen ghosts?"
Fu Yuechi next to him became a little excited and asked Li Xiuyuan: "Can you tell me what ghosts look like? Where have you seen ghosts? I have never seen ghosts in my life. Please lead me
Would you like to go and meet me?"
After saying that, he begged like a little girl acting coquettishly.
"..."
Li Xiuyuan immediately smiled hoarsely: "You are the daughters of Mr. Fu, the Minister of War, and you are protected by your official career. You have to hide when ghosts see you. How can any ghost appear in front of you? And most ghosts are not good ghosts. Most of them are evil spirits."
It is harmful to people, and there is no good in it, only harm."
"Official luck protects one's health, and ghosts and gods are not close. This is the first time I have heard such a saying." At this time, Fu Tianchou's voice sounded, and Que saw him walking out of the Yamen with a smile.
"I wonder why there is the sound of swords outside. It turns out that it was the two of you, Qingfeng Yuechi, who caused the scene and you still haven't apologized to others."
Fu Yuechi said: "Father, Yuechi has just apologized. Mr. Li said that he has seen ghosts. Father, you and I said that there are no ghosts in the world. Now I know that you must have lied to me."
Fu Tianchou stroked his beard and said, "You should stay away from ghosts and gods. As a scholar, you should stay away from ghosts and gods. Don't talk about them casually in the future."
After speaking, there was a bit of sternness in his tone.
It's like the elders are admonishing the younger ones.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "If you were above the imperial court, Mr. Fu would naturally be disciplined by what you said. But now that you are out of the yamen, I have to speak frankly. Things about ghosts and gods have existed since ancient times. Mr. Fu is the Ministry of War.
The minister has also been protected by ghosts and gods. Could it be that Mr. Fu himself has never noticed it?"
"Inside the imperial court, outside the imperial court? It's interesting. You are saying that above the imperial court, you respect my official status, so you accept my teachings humbly, but outside the yamen, you and I are just ordinary people, so we speak frankly."
Master Fu stroked his beard and smiled: "Your thoughts are indeed different from ordinary people, and only if you are different from ordinary people, will you be willing to spend family funds to provide disaster relief and rescue the people. In this case, I will not take advantage of it and use strange power and chaos to deal with it.
You, you are right. Things about ghosts and gods have indeed existed since ancient times, and they are around you and me. I remember when I went to Beijing to take the exam, I met a robber on the road. The robber wanted to intercept and kill me, but in the end
Just when I sneaked behind me, I suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground."
"At that time, my officer did not suspect that he was a robber. He just thought he was a passerby and rushed to rescue him. However, when the robber opened his eyes and came back, he said: I am a robber here and want to kill you. Just when I was about to do it, suddenly
I saw a golden-armored god appear behind you and hit me on the head with a golden hammer. You are protected by ghosts and gods, and you will definitely be a great person in the future."
"After saying this, the robber died. I didn't believe in ghosts and gods at that time. I just thought he was talking nonsense, so I kindly restrained him. As a result, when the Japanese officer passed by a dilapidated temple the next day, he saw that
There is a statue of a god enshrined in the center of the temple. The statue looks like a general, with hands hanging down, eyes wide open, and majestic. One of the golden hammers is stained with blood. Since then, I have been convinced that ghosts and gods are real.
existence, I don’t know if I complied with the bandit’s words and kept worshiping as a minister. Now that I think about it, I still have lingering fears. However, since I am protected by ghosts and gods, God must want me to perform some feats.
, If you have the right to eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor, I will not dare to relax for a moment. "
Speaking of this, Master Fu became emotional again.
Others were surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect Master Fu to have such a bizarre experience.
If these words were spoken by others, they would only be regarded as self-praising, but when spoken from his mouth, it was believed by others.
The two women, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, listened to this story with great interest, their eyes lit up, and they looked very excited.
To others, Fu Tianchou was telling stories, but Li Xiuyuan heard that Fu Tianchou used the ghosts and gods he had experienced to warn him that he must be loyal to the emperor and serve the country and not slack off.
This high official is a high official, and every word he speaks reveals profound meaning.
"What Mr. Fu said is very true. The appearance of ghosts and gods is to warn the world, but this is something done by virtuous ghosts and gods. There are also ghosts and gods that harm people in this world. These harmful ghosts and gods are as hateful as corrupt officials and harm people.
The country harms the people and is a cancer in the world that needs to be eradicated."
Li Xiuyuan also said, expressing his dissatisfaction with the corruption of the imperial court.
"There are also ghosts and gods that are harmful to people. Mr. Li, have you ever seen them?" Fu Yuechi's eyes lit up and he asked with great interest.
"Of course I have seen them, and there are many of them. It's just that evil ghosts and gods are scary. Sometimes vicious people are even more terrifying. If possible, it's best not to encounter them. You two girls must not be so interested in ghosts and gods, because most of them
None of them are good things." Li Xiuyuan said.
Fu Tianqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Xiuyuan with a half-smile.
"It's getting late now, so I won't bother Mr. Fu anymore. I'll take my leave." After saying that, he bowed again and left.
After Li Xiuyuan walked away, the civil servant named Duan next to him whispered: "Your Excellency, you have developed a love for talents and want to accept this Li Xiucai?"
"Yes, he has extraordinary talents and good moral character. The most important thing is that he is a disciple of a merchant. There is no one in his family who is an official in the court. He followed the path of a lonely official like me, so I asked several officials from Yangzhou to come out.
The purpose of testing him is to make him disliked by other officials, so that he will not be like other scholars who form cliques and private interests, learn the tricks of a fly and a dog, and waste his talents." Fu Tianqiu shook his head slightly.
