Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 102 Feng Yin God

With the heavy snow falling in midwinter, it has been less than half a month since the tiger demon was exterminated, and the time has come to the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year.

This time the plague and the plague made the people of Eshan very miserable, especially the plague. Although the monks rescued them, many people still died.

This Spring Festival, there will be many people wearing white and mourning.

But today, the servants of the Zhang family were busy working together. The servants cleared the snow, the women set up pots to cook meat, and the hall was cleaned up.

Zhang's father was sitting nervously waiting in the lobby, while Zhang Wei was drinking tea and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a pardon."

Father Zhang gave a rare smile and said, "This is Wanniang's big event, how can I not be nervous."

At this moment, a servant ran over and shouted: "Master, Master! People from the state capital are here!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang's father stood up immediately and shouted, "Please hurry up!"

Not long after, a man in official uniform walked in with two guards behind him.

When Zhang Wei saw people coming, he immediately went up to meet them.

Zhang's father also had a donor, and the two of them cupped their hands at the official and shouted, "I've seen you, sir."

The man smiled and clapped his hands back, saying: "I don't deserve to be called an adult, you two are too polite."

This person is the governor of Jinhua Prefecture, an official of the ninth rank.And the official who followed behind him was holding a tray covered with cloth in his hand.Father Zhang looked at the tray eagerly, and there was Zhou Wan's pardon.

The governor's name was Yu Heqing, and he didn't do anything serious after he came in, but chatted with Zhang's father and Zhang Wei over tea.

Although Father Zhang was anxious, he still held his temper and exchanged pleasantries with Yu Heqing.

Chatting and chatting, Zhang Wei tasted it.He found an excuse to come to the back hall, and then summoned the housekeeper, Lao Zhang, and said, "Uncle Zhang, go and get ten taels of silver."

As soon as Lao Zhang heard it, he immediately understood what was going on and left immediately.Soon, he brought a tray with ten ingots and one tael of silver on it.

The snow-white silver is in the shape of an ingot, round and cute.Zhang Wei led Lao Zhang directly into the front hall.

As soon as the two of them came in, Yu Heqing's eyes were set on the tray.The tray was uncovered, and everyone could clearly see the silver taels on it.

Lao Zhang put the tray on the tea table next to Yu Heqing calmly, and then walked away.

But Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Master Yu came from Jinhua Mansion, and the journey was exhausting. This is a little bit of meaning, please accept it."

Seeing this, Father Zhang was also stunned.If it was normal, he would have thought of this a long time ago. After all, he is a businessman.But today's situation is different, he was a little confused, a little nervous, and confused about many things, and he couldn't think of preparing some 'red envelopes' for a while.

Twelve taels of silver.About half a year's salary for a ninth-rank official is not too small.In this world, the salaries of officials are divided into two types, one is money and the other is kind.Usually money accounts for [-]% to [-]%, and physical goods account for [-]% to [-]%.

When Yu Heqing saw the silver, the expression on his face immediately eased a lot.He said with a smile: "It's really not easy to come out for a trip, and it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, so it's even harder."

He put the silver ingot into his arms calmly, and finally said: "I've drunk the tea, and it's time to get down to business. I think the two of you have heard about it, are you ready for the sacrificial table?"

"It's already ready!" Father Zhang quickly replied.

Soon, a long sacrificial table with chicken, duck, fish, fruits, and incense candles was lifted up.

Yu Heqing picked up a tablet from the guard beside him.The tablet reads "Forgiveness: Mrs. Shuhua Zhang Zhou"

He placed the tablet in the middle of the sacrificial table, then picked up a piece of green paper from another servant's tray, and began to read.

"That's why there is a woman named Zhang Zhou, who has a good name..."

Listening to the sacrificial text, Father Zhang's heart gradually calmed down.Although he didn't know the specifics, Zhang Wei told him a few days ago that he had asked for a pardon for Zhou Wan.

The underworld will pardon Zhou Wan to become 'Mrs. Shuhua', which is a kind of pardon for dead women, almost the lowest level of pardon.But as long as there is this pardon, Zhou Wan will be a serious ghost eating sacrifices.

From then on, she will be able to receive the incense that the underworld sent her for forgiveness. With the nourishment of this incense, she will not become unstable with the passage of time, nor will she suffer from the pain of reincarnation.

She can even open a mansion in the underworld, accumulate Yin virtues for the Zhang family, and train Yin soldiers for the Zhang family.It's all her right.

Zhang Wei is backed by the Qingwei faction. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at being officials, and Zhou Wan has made great contributions in the action of exterminating the tiger monster. A pardon.

Every pardon will consume the luck of the dynasty, but every ghost and god that is pardoned will restrain the dynasty's virtue.If the dynasty's fortune is consumed too much, the foundation of the dynasty will be unstable, and there will be a possibility of overthrow.But if there is no yin god to restrain the yin virtue, the dynasty will continue to suffer from natural and man-made disasters.

The fate of ghosts and gods and the dynasty is unified, how many ghosts and gods are pardoned depends on the choice of the dynasty.

However, Zhou Wan is only the lowest-ranked 'Mrs. Shuhua', and this kind of quota is available every year for Lord Taishan.It only needs to be operated, and then reported to the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty. The Ministry of Rites will go through the procedures, and the underworld will confirm that Zhou Wan is an officially enshrined ghost and god.

After the long sacrificial rites were finished, Yu Heqing's mouth was also a little dry.Then he lit the liturgy, and the light smoke from the green paper curled up.

Not long after, the words on Zhou Wan's memorial tablet suddenly lit up, and the word 'forgiveness' was dyed red even more.At this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew up, blowing up the ashes that had been turned into blue paper.

Father Zhang shouted excitedly: "Is that you, Wanniang? Is that you, Wanniang?"

Zhang Wei felt a dark spirit coming.He smiled and said to Father Zhang: "Father, when you dream at night, mother will entrust the dream to you."

Dreaming is the skill of Yin God.

Upon hearing this, Father Zhang immediately said: "Yes, yes, she will give me a dream, and I'm going to sleep..."

At this moment, he didn't have the calmness of a successful businessman at all, instead he was an ordinary man who was worried about gains and losses.Regardless of the people present, he walked directly to his bedroom.He wanted to meet Zhou Wan in his dream soon.

Zhang Wei looked at the sky helplessly, it was not past noon yet, and he didn't know if his father would be able to sleep, if he fell asleep now, he would cry if he couldn't sleep at night.

But now there are guests around, it is not easy for Zhang Wei to persuade his father, he still has to entertain guests, at least for lunch.

Yu Heqing also looked at it with a smile, but in fact, he also had some envy in his heart.The pardon of the underworld is not something that can be obtained casually.The Zhang family has this ability and money.Such a family should also make more friends.
