Merry Eunuch Lang

Chapter 146 Prime Minister Wang Invites Out the Mad Taoist

The people who were let out came back disheveled one by one, shaking their heads and waving their hands, saying that they couldn't find such an extraterrestrial expert.After Wang Shugui scolded all the staff, he was still helpless.Calm down and put yourself in the shoes of others, it’s also true that great people either live in seclusion in ancient temples deep in the mountains or hide in the vast sea of ​​people. Where to find it?

Prime Minister Wang was worried about this matter, so he didn't think about delicious food every day, couldn't sleep peacefully at night, and was no longer interested in women.Not to mention the Goulan courtyard, even those pretty little girls made him completely lose his desire.Under such circumstances, Prime Minister Wang still had no choice but to return to his wife, the old lady.The old lady saw him sighing and frowning all day long, she was very concerned, so she asked:

"What's on the master's mind, you might as well let the old wife listen to it."

Prime Minister Wang said disdainfully: "You are a woman with long hair and short knowledge. Telling it to you is like playing the piano to a cow. It's better not to say it."

The old lady said: "Farting is always a bit windy, and spitting is water. What's wrong with women? Maybe they will come up with a clever trick for you! Seeing your frowning, dying look, don't others feel annoyed?" ?"

Wang Shugui turned around and looked at his old wife who had lived with him for most of his life, feeling very unbearable.Madam was born in a family of officials, and she was considered a gorgeous young lady back then!After marrying him, she was gentle and virtuous, followed him in everything, obeyed everything, and never blushed with him once.Husband and wife have been friends for hundreds of years, and they share the blessings and hardships together.After thinking about it like this, he poured out the embarrassing things in his heart.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Madam laughed out loud.

Prime Minister Wang was puzzled, and asked his wife why she was laughing?

The lady said: "My lord, you are also an extremely human minister. As the head of all officials, you are in charge of important affairs in the court. You can be regarded as a dragon among the people. Why are you so helpless because of such a trivial matter?"

Wang Shugui immediately beamed with joy, and said, "Could it be that Madam has a plan in her chest?"

"I'm a woman, what's my opinion?" Madam put on airs instead.

Wang Shugui condescended to respect the virtuous, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Ma'am, you and I are one, why do you need to take me? I don't know if Mao Jiaohuoliao has gone to bed here?"

Madam said calmly: "Husband, that Guo Banxian who read Fengshui for us back then, I think he is a master of Taoism."

Wang Shugui suddenly realized, clapped his hands and stamped his feet and said, "It's all my fault for being confused for a while, how could I forget about this old man? I just don't know if this person is still alive?"

"How could he not be alive? At that time, he was only in his fifties, and ten years later he would be sixty. He will not be alive." Madam said frankly.

"This man travels all over the world, crazy and foolish all day long. I don't know where to find him?" Prime Minister Wang wondered.

"Looking for his house?" Madam reminded.

"How can such a person have a family? A monk has no family!" Wang Shugui sighed.

"Aren't Wen Shichang and him friends?" Madam said.

"It's just an ordinary friend, but you can ask Lao Wen for a test." Wang Chengxiang wanted to try his luck.

The servant invited Wen Shichang, Wang Shugui said that he wanted to find Guo Banxian, Wen Shichang shook his head and said:

"Enxiang, I'm afraid I haven't seen this person for five or six years, and I don't know where he ends up."

"Does he have a family?" Wang Shugui asked unwillingly.

"Where does he have a family! But I heard that he and Feng Jingang are familiar, it seems to be a bit of a shit relative." Wen Shichang said.

"You are the one who can't open the pot and lift it. Old Feng is already dead. What's the use of mentioning him?" Wang Shugui said angrily.

Wen Shichang explained: "Old Feng is dead, but there are people in his family!"

Wang Shugui couldn't help sighing: "After Lao Feng died, his family asked for a pension of 1 taels of silver, but I didn't agree. He died under the hands of the little eunuch, and he didn't die because of the king's affairs. The court naturally won't pay, so why don't you want me to pay for it?"

Wen Shichang bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said, "Enxiang, so I have a plan to get the best of both worlds."

Wang Shugui reprimanded: "Say it, you still have to put on a show in front of me."

"People from Lingxiang's mansion went to Feng Jingang's house, and they said that the person who killed Lao Feng found out that it was Pan You'an, the eunuch of the harem. Now if they want to avenge Lao Feng, they must invite Guo Banxian, an expert, and ask them if they know about it. The whereabouts of Guo Banxian? By the way, bring 1000 taels of silver to his family to solve his family's lack of rice."

"1000 taels of silver, where do you want me to find? You know that I was troubled by the Cuihua case, the little eunuch threatened revenge, and the stepmother beat her son secretly, and almost didn't let the family go bankrupt. How can there be so much money now? 100 taels Bar!"

"100 taels can't be sold, how can I say that he is also a general in the army, although his death is unclear, you and I know that it is not for business, at least 500 taels." Wen Shichang argued strongly.

"How about this, Lao Wen," Wang Shugui thought for a while, and said, "It is said that Lao Feng's death is also related to your improper command, and you can't get rid of it. I will pay 200 taels, and you can add another 100 taels to get rid of Lao Feng. How about your family?"

Wen Shichang cried bitterly: "To tell you the truth, I really don't have that much. A big family needs to eat and drink. I haven't been promoted to a fourth-rank official position for ten years. There are always so many loads of imperial food. The population is constantly increasing, where do you think I have money?"

"Forget it, forget it," Wang Shugui waved his hand and said, "I'm still 200 taels, you take 50 taels, and make up the number of two hundred and five, it should be done, right?"

Wen Shichang sighed and said: "Two hundred and five is unlucky, I'll give you 48 taels! Just go back and open your mouth like this, and don't know how your sister-in-law scolded me? It's strange that I have been eating for three days!"

Wang Shugui said impatiently: "Go ahead, go ahead, I will make up for you when I have some silver in the future, count me as a loan from you?"

Because the matter was urgent, Wang Shugui and Wen Shichang rushed to speak with money.Feng Jingang's family heard that they wanted to avenge Lao Feng, and they didn't care about how much money they had. 240 was 240. One or two is better than none, so they accepted the money, and then truthfully told the whereabouts of Guo Banxian. : Kongtong Mountain became a monk for Taoism.

Guo Banxian and Feng Jingang are cousins. When Feng Jingang went out to kill the little eunuch, Lao Feng once approached Guo Banxian, and Guo Banxian pinched his fingers and said:

"Cousin, this is not right. That little eunuch is full of energy. He is protected by four Gods of Wealth from east to west, from north to south. I'm afraid you won't be his match."

Feng Jingang was eager to make contributions, and said disapprovingly: "Brother, with the prime minister as my backer, what can a lottery do to me?"

"Although the lottery is a lottery, I'm afraid it's a fake. Cousin listens to my brother's words, your own life is important, so let's resign from this job!"

Feng Jingang sneered at his cousin Guo Banxian's nonsense, and refused to listen to it, and he lost his life.

Kongtong Mountain is far away in Pingliang, Gansu Province, and the travel distance is at least five thousand miles.

Guo Banxian practiced Taoism in the mountains, and occasionally walked around. One day, he was meditating in the cave when he heard a boy come to report:

"Three benefactors came down from the mountain. The leader is Shao Wanqiang. He said that they are envoys sent by the prime minister Wang of the current dynasty. They want to talk to you, master. See you or not? If they don't see you, I will send them away."

Guo Banxian bowed his head and meditated for a moment, knowing that this was a calamity in his previous life, and he couldn't help himself if he didn't leave the mountain this time, so he said:

"Tong'er, invite the three of them to enter the cave, as a teacher, I want to talk to them."

Guo Banxian's original name was Guo Daocheng, and he went to the Baiyun Temple in Kongtong Mountain to become a monk to learn Taoism since he was a child. His master saw that he was extraordinary in appearance and profound in Taoism, and he was a rare good seedling in Taoism, so he paid special attention to him and taught him the Five Arts and Metaphysics Dafa , and Lao Tzu's "Tao De Zhen Jing" and so on.When the master was about to ascend to heaven and was dying, he had repeatedly told him secretly that there was an important minister surnamed Wang, not to be an enemy of him, otherwise there would be endless troubles and ruin his reputation for the rest of his life.

Guo Daocheng has never been able to figure out who this person surnamed Wang is.It is said that it is Wang Xiang, although the surnames coincide, but they seem to be different.The master didn't mention the specific name. There are at least a dozen ministers surnamed Wang in the court. Which one is it?Since he is an important minister, he must be an important minister. Apart from Prime Minister Wang, Pan You'an is the second most important minister in the court.However, Pan and An's surname is Pan and not Wang, so it must have nothing to do with this.From this point of view, no matter how profound a person's knowledge is, he can only know one thing but not the other. Pan You'an's background, even a person who has a good way can't detect it.

Guo Banxian is also called Crazy Taoist. In fact, he is neither crazy nor stupid. Pretending to be crazy is one of his tricks.At critical moments, when it is inconvenient to say something, or you don't want to say it at all, or you can't say it at all, you will pretend to be crazy or stupid, and fool your boss to pass the test.Most of the world's experts have such methods.Guo Banxian doesn't pretend to be stupid at ordinary times, but he only pretends to be stupid when he is performing tricks.At this time, it seemed that he had profound Taoism, so that everyone in the world thought that he had really become a god.

Soon after arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Shugui opened the gate of the mansion and went out to greet him in person.After being seated in the study, Tonger brought tea.Wang Shugui took a closer look at the body of this half-immortal, he was already in his sixties, but his face was still fresh, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his hair was dyed with ink, and his eyes were piercing.Wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist crown on his head, he walks vigorously and has a straight body.Because it is considered an old friend, after a little politeness, he told each other bluntly, telling his confidant, saying:

"...Master Guo, think about it, a fake eunuch is causing trouble in the inner palace, how can I, as the head of the ministers, have a day of peace?"

After hearing this, Guo Daocheng thought to himself, as expected, exactly as he predicted.The person Prime Minister Wang planned was exactly what he counted in the Baiyun Temple of Kongtong Mountain.Then he closed his eyes and thought quietly, pinched his fingers and counted, and then said:

"Prime Minister, don't worry. After I hit him with a bewitching technique, within three days, that fake eunuch's life will definitely be killed."
