"Li Xiuyuan, the governor of Yangzhou, came to visit?"
Wang Taichang, the Minister of Rites, was sitting in the study and frowned when he heard the news.
Everyone knows that Li Xiuyuan is unpopular in the court. Although he got the position of Yangzhou governor with his contribution to quelling the Nine Mountains King Li Liangjin and the operation of the imperial master, he was too young and did not
What kind of identity and background has offended Mr. Yang of Zhongshu Province? You can say this
Whether Li Xiuyuan can become a seventh-grade county magistrate and return home safely is a question.
Wang Taichang believed that the position of prefect and governor would be taken away on the day Li Xiuyuan left the capital.
"If you don't want to see me, I will send Li Xiuyuan away," said the palace steward.
Wang Taichang said: "Others look down on Li Xiuyuan because he has a shallow background and too many political opponents. But after all, he is a governor who holds real power in a state. Even if he is not popular in the capital, no matter what, others are not like him in Yangzhou."
The management is very good, the troops are strong, the factions are gradually formed, and the emperor
My father is also Fu Tianchou, the minister of the Ministry of War. With this status, if someone comes to visit me in person, it would be too offending to refuse him directly."
"Invite him to come in, let the servants prepare, and go to the lobby to greet the guests."
After saying that, he waved his hand and decided to entertain Li Xiuyuan.
After a while, Li Xiuyuan arrived at the palace under the guidance of a servant.
In the lobby, Wang Taichang looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was dressed in a brocade robe and had an extraordinary heroic appearance and sharp eyebrows. He walked with a steady and vigorous pace, and he had to sigh in his heart: This person is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men.
Being able to enter the court at such an age as a scholar from a merchant family, and to be on par with the Gong Gong princes, does not depend on luck or officialdom, but on the real ability.
"My son is also handsome and handsome. However, if he were not born stupid, he would not be inferior to this Li Xiuyuan." Wang Taichang sighed in his heart, thinking of the maids and servants he knew all day long in his backyard.
The silly son playing.
Putting away his thoughts, he stood up and went out.
"I have taken the liberty of paying you a visit today. Please don't take offense at the intrusion, Mr. Wang." Li Xiuyuan bowed his hands and bowed.
"Master Li is here as a distinguished guest. How dare you say it's an intrusion?" Wang Taichang smiled and gestured, "Master Li, please take a seat."
"Come here, serve tea to Mr. Li."
After Li Xiuyuan sat down, a maid immediately brought tea to him. He said, "I thought Mr. Wang was not in the house today and was working in the Ministry of Rites. It seems that I am very lucky today."
Wang Taichang heard what Li Xiuyuan meant. It was simply that he had been receiving him for too long, and he must have thought about rejecting him.
He avoided talking and asked directly: "Master Li is not handling the case at the magistrate's office today, so how come he has time to come to my house as a guest? Is there any case that requires my assistance? Or is it also in my house?
A demon who has mixed up with the Wutong Sect?"
Is this asking whether Li Xiuyuan's coming today is a good thing or an evil thing?
Li Xiuyuan smiled and picked up the tea cup in his hand: "I happened to be passing by and came to visit. I want to become a familiar face. Don't you welcome me, Mr. Wang?"
"I heard that Mr. Li has been very busy recently. He first solved the assassination case of Fang Shengyu, and then led the police from six gates to arrest the Wutong Sect demons. Then he killed the thief Shi Hu, and surrounded Ruyifang with soldiers to break the deal.
The woman's case... In less than half a month, Mr. Li has made many achievements, and his achievements are not small.
Yesterday, I was rewarded with a jade belt by the official. If you wish, a noble person like Mr. Li comes to visit me. The official residence will naturally be full of glory. How can you not welcome him? I'm afraid that the reception is not good and will make Mr. Li unhappy." Mrs. Wang
Chang Dao.
The implication is that Li Xiuyuan is too good at making trouble, and there is no room for a great god like you in his house.
"Don't you think it's strange to Mr. Wang that the wind direction above the court has been changing lately?" Li Xiuyuan said suddenly.
"I don't know what Mr. Li is referring to..." Wang Taichang said.
Li Xiuyuan said, "The officials who usually impeached me are no longer impeached. Only some unscrupulous officials have jumped out. The Minister of the Sixth Ministry, the Prince of Zhongshu Province, and the Imperial Preceptor next to the dragon chair are all quiet.
This was unimaginable before."
"Mr. Li has made many meritorious deeds, so how can hundreds of officials continue to impeach Mr. Li? Mr. Li is worrying too much," Wang Taichang said.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled: "No, it's not for this reason, but because most of the adults who impeached me before are dead, and what appears in the court is just a body that has been enchanted by someone. Now among the six ministers
Only my father-in-law, Fu Tianchou, and Mr. Wang are left.
I'm just being persecuted. Mr. Yang of Zhongshu Province must have noticed some clues. Otherwise, why didn't he press me to death when he had such a good opportunity at the court meeting yesterday? He just beat me for a while and then let it go?"
"I can't understand what Mr. Li said." Wang Taichang frowned and said, "Is it that Mr. Li has been arresting too many demons from the Wutong Sect recently, and he is a bit stressed? I suggest that Mr. Li take some rest.
Let’s have a day.”
"Master Wang, do you think I am talking in my sleep?" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Or do you mean that Master Wang does not believe that there is a monster in the court?"
"I do believe in some evil arts that are harmful to people, but when it comes to demons and ghosts..." Wang Taichang smiled and shook his head: "Is this what Mr. Li came to visit today to talk about? If that's the case, then Li
I'm afraid you will be greatly disappointed today."
Li Xiuyuan said: "I would like to remind Mr. Wang to pay attention to his own safety and not to be murdered by those monsters in human skins above the imperial court. It is my kind intention. After all, there are no officials who have truly survived in the imperial court."
How much, of course, if Mr. Wang doesn’t believe it, I won’t either
Will force Mr. Wang to believe it."
"But putting this matter aside, doesn't Mr. Wang himself feel it? There is a demonic energy entrenched in your house. Although there is no evil intention or malice, there is still a demon in your house. If Mr. Wang doesn't mind me,
If the official is busy, can you take me to the house for a visit?"
"I have heard a little bit about the ability of the six-men policemen to catch demons, but today Mr. Li seems to have only brought the powerful general and a few followers. Does it mean that Mr. Li also knows the magic of exorcising ghosts?" Wang Taichang
I laughed and felt that this Li Xiuyuan did not look like a serious official.
How could a serious official talk about mysterious things all day long?
Li Xiuyuan said: "Before I came here, I heard that the young master of your mansion is born stupid and can't even tell the difference between men and women. Is there such a thing?"
"Everyone in the capital knows that my child has not been smart enough since he was young, but he is not stupid. Mr. Li's words are a bit excessive." Wang Taichang said with a cold face.
It would be intolerable for anyone to say that their child is stupid to their face.
Although his son Wang Yuanfeng is really stupid.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "I didn't laugh at Mr. Ling's idea, but I just wanted to ask Mr. Wang, don't you want to cure Mr. Ling's dementia?"
"Mr. Li has become a doctor now?" Wang Taichang asked: "My son has been seeing famous doctors all over the world since he was a child. Even the imperial doctors of the palace have diagnosed my son's illness, but they can't cure it. Could it be that
Master Li, do you have any ideas?"
"Master Ling's stupidity is not a disease. In my opinion, it should be that the orifice is blocked, so his intelligence is not visible, like a pearl covered in dust or a dark cloud covering the moon." Li Xiuyuan said: "This disease may have been brought from the mother's womb.
It may also be the work of the evil spirit entrenched in your mansion. Doesn’t Lord Wang want to try it?
Can you help Mr. Ling solve this problem?"
These words spoke to Wang Taichang's heart.
Wang Yuanfeng's stupidity is his heart disease. He has such a son who can't even behave as a man and a woman. He still has a perfect body after marrying his wife. If it continues like this, the Wang family will probably be extinct.
"How confident is Mr. Li?" He hesitated for a moment, then asked, but his tone was much more respectful.
Someone who could annihilate the King of the Nine Mountains, Li Liangjin, and encircle and suppress the demons of the Wutong Sect must have some abilities. Now that he was an official in the same dynasty, it was impossible for him to visit and talk nonsense, so he believed in this Li Xiuyuan for the time being.
"This is not important. What is important is that this is an opportunity for Mr. Wang, isn't it?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Wang Taichang's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly made up his mind and said immediately: "Come, go and bring my son Yuanfeng."
"No need, I think it's better to go directly to Mr. Ling. The evil spirit entrenched in your house also needs to be resolved. Maybe this is the root of the problem?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Wang Taichang stood up and said: "In that case, I have to pay my respects to Mr. Li this time. Please come here. Yuanfeng should be playing in the backyard at the moment."
"Master Wang, you're welcome." Li Xiuyuan smiled.
With Wang Taichang personally leading the way, several people quickly arrived at the backyard.
Just as he walked in, he saw a cloth ball flying over and hitting Wang Taichang hard on the face. The pain caused him to cover his nose directly and tears flowed down his face.
"You are such a scoundrel, you dare to hit me." Wang Taichang angrily picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Wang Yuanfeng who was playing.
Wang Yuanfeng didn't know how to dodge. He was hit and immediately sat on the ground with a cry and started crying. He was just like a child.
Seeing her son crying bitterly, Wang Taichang softened her heart and could not continue to scold her. She just scolded: "Where is Xiaocui, where has she gone? As a wife, she doesn't take good care of her husband. She spends all day with Yuanfeng.
Let’s play together, why don’t we ask Xiaocui to come over and take care of this naughty boy? Hey, my family
Unfortunately, the family is unfortunate."
After saying that, he sighed heavily again.
A maid hurriedly said: "Young Madam was playing on the swing here before. I don't know where you are now. I will go find Young Madam and come back."
Another maid hurriedly coaxed Wang Yuanfeng to stop crying.
But Wang Yuanfeng sat on the ground and cried: "Xiao Cui, I want Xiao Cui."
"Go quickly." Wang Taichang said.
He knew that once this idiot started crying, only Xiaocui could coax him, and even he, as a father, could not control him.
"The family scandal made Mr. Li laugh." Wang Taichang covered her nose and said with some shame.
"No, it's just that Mr. Ling's nature is like this, and looking at his figure and appearance, he is a talented person. If his illness can be cured, he will definitely be the best among men." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, and then moved his eyes to the swing beside him.
The swing is still swaying, but Xiao Cui has disappeared.
This yard is so big, it is impossible to disappear in such a short period of time, unless it is...a demon.
Did you feel your own aura and hide in advance?
But this Wang Yuanfeng is really the reincarnation of Lord Yan.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the crying Wang Yuanfeng again and tried to use his divine eye skills to see what was going on.
The golden light flashed in his eyes, but the crying Wang Yuanfeng didn't change much. There was only an auspicious cloud hanging over his head like a canopy. He was a noble man who thought he had good luck and wealth.
But to say that he is the reincarnation of Lord Yan is not really enough.
"But if it is really the reincarnation of Lord Yama, it is not impossible to hide his aura with Lord Yama's methods." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself; "And this Wang Yuanfeng is indeed as he had guessed before. If his tricks are not blocked and his mind is not open, he is now
It's not complete yet. Then open the trick and let him
He regained his intelligence, solved his womb mystery, and then let him know the memories of his previous life."
But at this moment, a beautiful and smart woman wearing a green dress, with her hair in a woman's bun, came with a maid with her head slightly lowered.
"Xiaocui, Xiaocui, it hurts so much here. My father threw stones at me. Look." When Wang Yuanfeng saw Xiaocui, he stood up from the ground and hugged her waist, acting like a child.
Said like.
Normally, Xiao Cui would have grabbed Wang Yuanfeng's ear and said something to him, but now Xiao Cui felt uneasy and peeked at Li Xiuyuan with some fear.
"Xiao Cui has met my father-in-law." She said with a very reserved expression.
"Where did you go just now? Don't you know that Yuanfeng has no one to take care of you? Is there anyone who considers you a wife like you?" Wang Taichang said a few words: "This is Mr. Li, the governor of Yangzhou, and he still doesn't show courtesy."
"I've met Mr. Li." Xiaocui saluted cautiously, her expression much more respectful than before.
"Is the Tao of more than six hundred years good?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly and he looked behind Xiao Cui's butt.
A fluffy tail, although he tried his best to hide it and curled it between his legs, he still couldn't hide it from his eyes.
Xiaocui trembled, subconsciously took a few steps back, raised her head slightly and looked at Li Xiuyuan in fear.
She had heard about some deeds of saints in the world. People in the capital cared about how he destroyed the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin, but she was more concerned about how Li Xiuyuan destroyed the Maitreya Sect and the White Lotus Sect. These were all controlled by thousand-year-old monsters.
Recently, the ghost foreman in the capital was executed, and the old demon Shi Hu from Montenegro was killed.
What happens under your nose.
She's so good that she doesn't even dare to go out. She just hides in the backyard and plays with her stupid husband.
"Master Li, why have you practiced Taoism for more than six hundred years?" Wang Taichang asked from the side.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Xiaocui deeply, and then said: "Master Wang, I wonder if anything strange happened to Mr. Ling when he was young?"
Wang Taichang said, "My son has lived in the house since he was a child and has almost never gone out. He has never encountered any strange things. However, when I was in my hometown before, there was thunder and lightning in the evening. My son was standing on the bamboo in the courtyard.
I was sleeping soundly on the bed, but a fox came from nowhere and lay on my son’s bed.
He was on his body, but he ran away after a while and did not harm my son."
"That's right." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.
This is the fox spirit who has experienced lightning disaster for three hundred years and is looking for someone to protect him from the lightning.
Qing'e in her own family is like this. When a thunder disaster comes, she seeks refuge from the thunder disaster. In this way, the God of Thunder in the sky will gain merit for fear of accidental injury, and the nobles in Fu Ze will not dare to lower the thunder, and the spirits will be able to have good luck.
Survive the disaster.
"If you calculate it this way, it's almost the same. This fox girl named Xiao Cui came to be Wang Yuanfeng's wife just a few years after she survived the thunder tribulation. This is repaying the favor and ending the cause and effect of lightning protection." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
