Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 717
From noon to dusk, Yang Wu followed Mr. Gu all the time.

Chang Decai found out some news from Li Quangen. This Mr. Gu's name is Gu Zhenggong. He is a head of the household department. He is not a high-ranking official, but he is a sixth-rank official, but he has a very good reputation in the capital.

Gu Qingtian works during the day and lectures at night.

Qiancheng country has a strict night ban system, but how to give lectures at night?
This depends on the determination of the lecturer, but also on the perseverance of the scholar.

Gu Zhenggong gave lectures in his mansion, and he would talk until late at night, even until dawn, asking scholars to stay in his mansion all night, and leave the mansion at dawn the next day.

Yang Wu was going to study, and Lao Chang shook his head: "We don't have so much free time, we have to find a way to get the master back quickly."

Yang Wu frowned: "You mother-in-law, why don't you know how to listen to your husband? If you can't find Liang Xiaoen, you can't find Zhiqiong. If you want to find Liang Xiaoen, you have to look for his domineering. That domineering, you have to start with Gu Zhenggong, it's not easy to find a needle in such a big city, what else do you have to choose?"

Chang Decai blinked those big clear eyes. At such moments, she always felt that Yang Wu was handsome and tall.

It was night, and the two of them hid in the dark and listened to the lecture.

Judging from the mansion alone, Gu Zhenggong's family background is not very good, the mansion is not big, there is only one yard, there are a few poufs in the hall, and dozens of straw futons in the yard, those who come to study first, sit in the hall and listen , a little later, sit on the futon and listen, and later, stand in the yard and listen.

What happened to this thief?
Yang Wu panted repeatedly, the granulation on his face surged up layer by layer, his body kept shaking.

The eunuch of the third rank, the immortal soul of more than 100 years, why hasn't she seen it?

A potter yelled the loudest, and Chang Decai stared at him for a moment, and saw him grinning, shouting and laughing, smiling, with the corners of his mouth cracked to the ears.

The originally manic monsters all fell silent.

The monsters in the courtyard kept shouting, and Chang Decai was so angry that his veins burst out.

She looked at Yang Wu again, and found that there was light in his eyes.

The weird atmosphere in the yard became more and more gloomy.

But those who listened to it were willing to believe it!
"Seven or eight taels a month, this is a good day!"

Gentlemen, which of you dares to touch a sergeant's armor and sword and axe?Whoever touches it shall die,

In the small courtyard, more than 100 people finally squeezed in.

When it was getting dark, rows of candles were lit in the hall and yard, and Gu Zhenggong sat on the hall and began to speak.

What you said is all right, but let me say, in the final analysis, it is Du Taojia's fault! "

Gu Zhenggong said: "Crafter Du killed his daughter-in-law, and the clay pot that came out the next day still had trachoma. He checked the clay and found nothing mixed with it, but where did the trachoma come from?"

Chang Decai carefully distinguished the strange aura, and found that it wasn't just from Gu Zhenggong.

"It's well cooked!"

This Gu Zhenggong likes to talk in his sleep, to deceive these poor people who have never seen money.

"woooo~"

"Beat that woman!"

It's a cultivator!
Gu Zhenggong is a cultivator, and the energy is emitted by him. It is very weak, but it cannot escape the perception of the eunuch.

What kind of lecture is this?
A potter killed his wife and children for a few pots!
Even animals can't do such an absurd thing, and many people followed suit.

Don't you have to do tomorrow's work?

Isn't this nonsense?

Gu Zhenggong said: "Brothers who have been potters know that pottery clay and kiln are just like sergeant's long sword and armor, they are treasures to live and live.

All the monsters were very surprised, let's listen to what Gu Zhenggong said.

Yang Wu thought that he would be like other great Confucians, who would quote scriptures when he was full of words.

"Don't say it's in the village, even in the capital, seven to eight taels a month, eight to ninety taels a year, this is also a small rich family!"

"This girl should be killed too!"

This group of beasts should be killed, especially this Gu Zhenggong, who will be hacked into pieces!

The two blood-red eyeballs did not fall to the ground, and were connected to the eye sockets by two intestine-like muscles.

It's not that Yang Wu has never seen silver, what is seven or eighty taels of silver to him?
Chang Decai sensed that the situation was not right, sniffed, and smelled some energy reverberating in the air.

Gu Zhenggong nodded and said: "It's true, but the heat is wrong. Carpenter Du's daughter is eight years old this year. I don't know what she thought. She added two pieces of charcoal to the kiln without authorization. The fire was wrong, and the clay pot burned out trachoma."

Gu Zhenggong went on to say: "Crafter Du should have a good life, but one day, he made a batch of clay pots and made a mistake, smashing his own signboard."

Gu Zhenggong went on to say: "There are many potters here, and the clay pot made by Potter Du has trachoma. Do you know the reason for this?"

Looking at more than 100 monsters in the hall and yard, Gu Zhenggong didn't see anything unusual and continued to give lectures.

The other man was not more than four feet tall, but his shoulders were seven feet wide.

But the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law of the potter Du, who dared to add ashes to the pottery clay, dared to throw sand into the kiln,

"Is this a small rich family? I have never seen 70 taels of silver in my life! This is a big rich family, a real rich family!"

"Everyone, let's think about it carefully, has the carpenter's brother, the chisel, the ax and the saw, been touched by anyone?
Brothers who are blacksmiths, have the tongs, anvils, hammers, and millstones been touched?
The man endured hardships and saved a little family property, but don't let it be ruined just because the family law is not strict! "

Gu Zhenggong nodded and said: "Crafter Du is a sensible person. He saw her daughter adding charcoal secretly, so he threw the hoof into the kiln and burned it."

"it is good!"

What kind of animal talk is this?
This is even more beastly than the beasts taught by Daxuan Nufu!

Gu Zhenggong said again: "This matter, what do you think should be done?"

There was a blacksmith next to him, and when he shouted yes, he tried a little harder, and his eyes jumped out of their sockets.

It seems that they were originally monsters, but they were awakened by Gu Zhenggong.

The monsters got up slowly and walked out of the yard one by one. No one knew who they were, because no one could see their original appearance.

Chang Decai listened to it as nonsense, these days, she had a little understanding of Yelang Kingdom, in this place, relying on craftsmanship and hard work, to earn seven or eight taels of silver a year is purely a dream.

After staying in Chang Decai's arms for a while, Yang Wu gradually calmed down.

Chang Decai hugged Yang Wu in his arms, covered his mouth gently, and comforted him carefully.

Gu Zhenggong continued to speak: "Crafter Du burned his daughter in the kiln, and there was no more trachoma on the pottery.
But his signboard was completely smashed, and when he sent the clay pots to Jishang, the Anshi Yamen didn't take any of them, and they didn't want anything for free.

Chang Decai felt that this strange aura was a little more rapid than just now.

These people were originally monsters, or did they become monsters after listening to his lectures and being intervened by his qi mechanism?

Judging by their clothes, they don't look like they are studying, they are all poor craftsmen.

If it wasn't for the fear of revealing his whereabouts, Chang De really wanted to slap Yang Wu to wake him up.

Don't you have to pay taxes?
Seven to eight taels of gross profit a month, at least [-]% of which must be taxed.

Chang Decai gritted his teeth, this could be a monster!

The qi mechanism in his body also changed, and the originally cold and pure yin qi became chaotic.

Gu Zhenggong walked into the yard from the hall, his body full of strange aura and the monsters echoing each other.

A man stood up, more than two feet tall, with skin and flesh cracked all over his body, splashing blood all over his body, and shouted at Gu Zhenggong.

But Gu Zhenggong's words are very simple, and he first told a story: "When I was young, there was a potter named Du in the village. a jar,
This jar is getting better and better, and its reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Every time it goes to the market, the Anshi Yamen will first accept his jars. , How much does the Anshi Yamen charge, and never counter-offer,
Pottery Du worked hard, took his son and brother with him, and made more than 100 clay pots every day. In addition to the capital, he earned more than 200 yuan a day. Not too bad. "

Gu Zhenggong seemed to be able to understand what they said: "Everyone, you said that his daughter-in-law was to blame for this, and you also said that his daughter was to blame for this.

The granulation twisted and wriggled on the face, covering Yang Wu's facial features.

Another potter said: "Nonsense, this potter Du is obviously a veteran, how could he choose the wrong soil."

A large granulation sprouted on Yang Wu's face.

"Give her food, give her drink, and raise a white-eyed wolf!"

This is also a monster?

Because the eyeballs fell on his chest, the man deliberately adjusted his sitting posture, leaned back, and continued to listen to Gu Zhenggong's lecture.

Think about it, everyone, it's definitely not the first time they have reached out, they have touched these things before, if Pottery Du made up his mind earlier and killed these two scourges, would such a good family business be defeated? "

The monsters also began to exude a strange aura.

"I think she did it on purpose. She wants to avenge her mother!"

Everyone was talking about it, and there was a strange light in their eyes, as if the seven or eighty taels of silver were right in front of them.

They stretched their necks and waited for Gu Zhenggong to give a lecture. Yang Wu was very curious. What did Gu Zhenggong say that made these poor people stay up all night and come here to study?

A potter shouted: "Then the heat is not right!"

A potter said: "This is clay that has not been selected!"

A carpenter next to him also laughed, and his nose suddenly fell off, leaving two bloody holes, with some red and green sticky things hanging down, flowing into his mouth.

Gu Zhenggong nodded: "You two don't quarrel, what you said is right, Potter Du did not choose the wrong clay, but the thing really happened in the clay.
Mrs. Hu, the daughter-in-law of Pottery Du, listened to someone's nonsense, and mixed some ashes into the clay, saying that the clay mixed with ashes can make money! "

When the craftsmen heard this, they gritted their teeth angrily:
"This woman is really nothing!"

The people present couldn't make any movement.

There are four heads on the shoulders, and the four heads have different voices, and they all shouted at Gu Zhenggong incessantly.

Gu Zhenggong seemed to be working secretly.

It shouldn't be!

"You should kill this woman!"

Chang Decai looked at Yang Wu in a blink of an eye, but saw that Yang Wu was also clenching his teeth and clenching his fists.

She had never seen this scene today!

He was in pain and seemed about to groan.

This person's aura is so weird that Chang De couldn't distinguish his Taoism and cultivation.

But now is not the time to do anything, Chang De had to find Xu Zhiqiong first, and take good care of Yang Wu.

When everyone heard this, the light in their eyes dimmed instantly, as if the dozens of taels of silver in front of them suddenly flew away.

Everyone was boiling.

"A good family business has been defeated by this woman!"

Chang Decai was thinking about a question.

"Ugh!"

But when Chang De turned to look at Yang Wu, he instantly dispelled his previous thoughts.

He couldn't do this job anymore, his brother went to another country to make a living, so the brotherhood was broken.
Two years later, Pottery Du's savings were exhausted, the workshop was sold, all valuable possessions were sold, and finally the house was sold.
A few years ago, I heard from folks in my hometown that Du Pottery slept in a shack, and he didn’t survive this winter, freezing to death.
Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, who is to blame for this? "

Chang De was shocked.

Gu Zhenggong silently watched the monsters walk out of the mansion.

He looked very calm, he knew where these monsters were going and what they were going to do.

Huddled in Chang Decai's arms, Yang Wu wrote two words on Chang Decai's chest with his fingertips:

chaos!
