The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 95

"Wow! The grass and trees are ruthless, sometimes drifting away. Human beings are animals, but the spirit of things. A hundred worries feel their hearts, and all things work their shapes. If there is movement in them, they must shake their essence. What's more, thinking about their power is not enough, worrying about their wisdom. If it is impossible, those who are suitable for the dandelion are haggard trees, and those which are black are stars. But why do you want to compete with the grass and trees for glory without the quality of gold and stone? Whoever kills thieves for it, how can you hate the sound of autumn!"

——"Autumn Sound Fu" (excerpt) Ouyang Xiu

……

He does not mean that.

Wang Jian returned to the mansion reeking of alcohol, and invited the sorcerer Longhu Tianshi whom he had enshrined privately into the secret room, and after a few words of harassment, he got to the point.

Wang Baodao: "Tianshi, Shi Jingzhong once said that the Wang family's ancestral tomb is where the dragon's veins are located. The prophecy book predicts that the world will be in chaos, and it will be the time when my Wang family rises!"

Speaking of this, Wang Jian looked anxiously, and said: "Today in the Wang family, although my elder brother Wang Ji is the most prominent, but he is the illegitimate son of the Wang family, and his mother came from a humble background. And I am the first son of the Wang family, where the real blood of the Wang family is. Dare I ask?" Heavenly Master, do I have the appearance of an emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt, which scared Master Longhu and fell to the ground.If this word gets out, it will be a felony for Zhu Jiu Clan.

Master Longhu trembled, and said: "Your Excellency is of course a noble minister, but the matter is very important, and you still need to prove it with the prophecy. Please go home next time, take a bath and change clothes, and fast for three days before you can divination."

Wang Zhuo laughed and said, "Okay, let's go home soon. Three days later, I will personally go to the temple to meet the Celestial Master. If the fate is here, I will definitely protect the Celestial Master for a lifetime of good clothes, fine food, prosperity and wealth!"

On the way back, Celestial Master Longhu became more and more frightened as he thought about it.I thought to myself: "I got the law to go down the mountain. I wanted to come to Chang'an to fight for my future. I just opened up the situation in the capital. I have a small reputation. I never thought of meeting this guy. Not only will I not be able to climb up to the rich and powerful, but I will also be in danger of being killed. Forget it, hurry up Let's go." That night, he didn't even dare to go back to the Taoist temple, so he found a place to stay overnight.As soon as the city gate opened at dawn, he rode his horse and fled.

……

Wang Chi slept until midnight and woke up, thinking of what he had just said, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.If this matter gets out, it will be a catastrophe!

He hurriedly woke up his son Wang Zhun and gave him some instructions.

Wang Zhun was also very vigilant, and said, "Father, don't worry, this matter must be rotten in your stomach. But it's best to tell Second Uncle, he is very reckless."

Wang Ji thought about it, his son reminded him rightly, this younger brother is impulsive and reckless, so he has to be taken care of.He didn't wait for dawn, and drove directly to Wang Jian's residence.Wang Bao was sleeping soundly, his sleepy eyes were hazy, and he told the story of the Dragon and Tiger Celestial Master in a daze.

When Wang Ji heard this, he thought to himself, "I've hit the mark. I'm really afraid of something!" Immediately ordered the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion to arrest the Celestial Master Longhu.I have to go to court.

When I arrived at the court hall and was waiting for the Holy Majesty, I heard that the dragon and tiger celestial master fled as soon as the city gate was opened this morning.This frightened Wang Yu into a fright, and hurriedly ordered several confidant generals to secretly arrest the dragon and tiger celestial masters and kill them on the spot.

I thought that on the day after the festive festival, the morning court would be just a formality, and everyone would congratulate the emperor and then the emperor would disperse.Unexpectedly, Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu, and the prince fought together.In peacetime, Wang Hao would definitely not miss this opportunity to get rid of his political opponents, but today, he was fidgeting, how could he want to get involved.

Xuanzong and Gao Lishi saw Wang Chi's uncharacteristic expression, and that's why Xuanzong sent Gao Lishi to investigate.

It was not easy for the Holy Majesty to leave the court with his sleeves, and Wang Chi hurried home to wait for the news.In the afternoon, Feige secretly reported that the eyeliners all over the capital had found clues. The confidant Chang'an County Wei Jia Jilin caught up with the Dragon and Tiger Celestial Master in Fengyi County, and according to Wang Chi's secret order, he was silenced on the spot.

Only then did Wang Chi heave a sigh of relief, and fell asleep.After waking up, he felt refreshed, ordered a pot of tea, and began to ponder whether there was a chance to fish in troubled waters in the dispute between Yang and Li in the court this morning.

At this moment, Butler Dong hurried in and said, "My lord, Agui, the second housekeeper of Sima Weihui of the royal residence, Mr. Wei's family, has something important to report."

"No! Am I annoyed that I didn't see the master?" Wang Hao glared, not looking good.

"Master, although this Agui is Lord Wei's housekeeper, he has some quarrels with him. What he secretly reported is..." Steward Dong whispered a few words by the side of Wang Ji.Wang Ji's face changed, and he warned: "Sneak him into the secret room, and don't let other servants see him."

……

"Let's talk, what's going on? If it is really valuable to the government, I will reward you a lot!" Wang Hao said to the housekeeper, Agui.

Agui hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "Young one has a friend named Axiang at Master Wei's residence..."

Wang Ji said impatiently: "Pick up the important ones and talk about it!"

Agui trembled in fright, and hurriedly said: "Last night, the sorcerer Longhu Tianshi enshrined by my master secretly came to the house and asked for a night's stay. Axiang was waiting on the side, and overheard my master and Longhutian The master’s conversation involved the second master of your mansion, Mr. Wang Jian.” So, he told Wang Ji about the meeting and conversation between Wang Jian and Longhu Tianshi last night.

……

"Oops!" Wang Hao almost lost his breath after hearing this.There was great hatred in my heart: "Brother, brother, you fool, you lure wolves into the house, are you going to kill the whole family!"

"Everything said by the villain is true, please learn from me." After Agui finished speaking, he kowtowed again.

"Who else knows about this besides you?" Wang Hao asked.

"Reporting to my lord, only the villain and Ah Xiang know." Agui said.

"Okay! After this incident, you and Axiang will not be able to stay in Wei Mansion anymore. The official will reward you with 1000 taels of silver. You can take Axiang with you now and go to the official's manor in the suburbs to take shelter. Wait for the news to pass. Now, you go back to the countryside to buy land and real estate. Butler Dong will help you make arrangements." Wang Hao said.

Thank you so much, Agui, and leave.Wang Yu whispered a few words to Steward Dong.

After the two left, Wang Ji called his son Wang Zhun to discuss.

Wang Zhun looked angry and said, "Father, this Wei Hui must be eliminated!"

Wang Yu said: "Get rid of it? It's not ordinary people. This Wei Hui is the son of Princess Ding'an, the half-brother of Wang You, the son-in-law, and a member of the royal family."

Wang Zhun said anxiously: "It is because he is a member of the royal family that he is more dangerous than others. Someday, this word will reach the ears of the Holy Majesty. At that time, our family will be murdered all over the house! No poison and no husband, Dad, don't hesitate, do it!"

Wang Yu said: "It is no small matter to kill the clan, and there needs to be a legitimate reason."

Wang Zhun rolled his eyes and said: "In the tenth year of Kaiyuan, the Holy Majesty issued an edict: 'No one who is in charge of divination and occupation is allowed to enter the homes of hundreds of officials. Because of this, he was captured. During the interrogation, Wei met the incident and committed suicide in fear of crime."

Wang Ji secretly sighed in his heart: "That's how I dealt with my cousin Yang Shenjin back then. I didn't expect history to repeat itself again. Alas, this is the only way to go! If you want to blame, you, Wei Hui, took in the Dragon and Tiger Celestial Master last night. I know a secret you shouldn't know!"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yu secretly ordered Jia Jilin, the county captain, to arrest Wei Hui and put him in prison.In order to avoid having long nights and dreams, Wei Hui was hanged in prison that night.

When the son-in-law Wang Yao found out, he felt great grief, but he didn't dare to speak out in view of the Wang family's despotic power.
