The literary giants of the late Ming Dynasty began by copying books

Chapter 102: Framed by Demon Book
Fuzhou, Wei Zhai.

After the big commotion, Wei Tianjue collapsed on the bed in boredom. He kicked the woman beside him away and shouted to his men waiting at the door: "I've been asking you to find a way to deal with Wang Wenlong for so long. Have you come up with an idea?"

Fang Baozhou, a gangster who worked under Wei Tianjue, said with a bitter face: "Wang Wenlong follows Xu Fan to the countryside every day. We want to slander his reputation, but he doesn't even go back home. He wants to get a few common people." I went to falsely accuse him of robbing a common girl, but he was too busy to go to all the beautiful streets and willow alleys. Those ignorant people worshiped him as a god, and no one believed him even if I told him. I really don’t know what to do."

Wei Tianjue said with disdain: "If you want to tarnish his reputation, you don't have to start with the officials and the people. Doesn't he like to write? Then let's write something for him... Zhao Yiping from Zhejiang claims to be an immortal. Doesn't he also claim to be a god..."

Fang Baozhou was surprised when he heard this and said quickly: "This is not appropriate..."

This year, the northern and southern regions and provinces have been affected by disasters and have been harassed by mining taxes. The situation in various places is not good, and the people are in unrest.

A few months ago, Zhao Yiping, a native of Zhejiang, caused chaos with witchcraft. He was suppressed by the imperial court. At this time, he had just fled to Xuzhou. It is said that a group of party members had gathered there and hid in the mountains. It was unknown when they would come out to revolt again. The southern provinces They are all extremely sensitive to this matter.

Fang Baozhou hurriedly came to dissuade Wei Tianjue: "Sir, writing a counter-letter is a big deal and will attract further investigation by the court."

Wei Tianjue smiled and said: "How can you be so timid when working with me? Isn't Wang Wenlong in the ink business? Just write two ghost books signed by Wang Wenlong and find a few Jianyang booksellers to use his printing The method was printed, and then secretly sent to the City God's Temple to distribute it, and then reported to the officials to arrest the people. We don't want to come forward with the whole thing. The gods are unaware of it, and who can find out?"

"But..." Fang Baozhou hesitated. He always felt that this method was too risky. If it was just to cause some love affairs or to trick Wang Wenlong, it wouldn't involve too many people, but once it comes to the demon book, it really needs to be done. If it causes a shock, there will definitely be a lot of forces involved. If this is found, Wei Tianjue will definitely push it away, and then he will be unlucky.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Wei Tianjue suddenly changed his expression: "Damn! How many official positions have I granted you when I promoted you to be the tax superintendent? Your family has been raised to heaven, and now I want you to do something for me, so you are just prevaricating like this. . Do you think I’m easy to bully? Or do you think I’m useless and I can’t protect you if something happens to you?”

"You are required to write a demon book immediately, write Wang Wenlong's name on it, and then print it with a mimeograph and distribute it. I will give you 100 taels. I will give you another half a month to get things done, or I will cause trouble for you!"

"Yes...yes..." Sweat dropped from Fang Baozhou's forehead. He scolded Wei Tianjue in his heart, but he still had to smile and agree.

Even though Wei Tianjue pretends to be lawless, in fact he is still afraid of death. He is unwilling to do things like writing demon books by himself. He even entrusts Fang Baozhou to distribute the books, just in case something goes wrong. It can be pushed cleanly.

Fang Baozhou is also a rogue who runs rampant in the countryside, but he is not a fool and knows how dangerous this matter is.

When he returned home, Fang Baozhou called his thugs: "Go and send a message to Wang Wenlong, asking him to flee Fujian as soon as possible and be careful not to miss our travel treasure."

……

Early the next morning, as soon as Wang Wenlong got up, Wang Jingui came over in a hurry, holding a dagger and a letter in his hand. The dagger was covered in blood.

"Wen Long, when I opened the door this morning, I saw this letter stuck on our door. There was also a dead rat stuck in the dagger. Fortunately, not many passers-by saw it when I opened the door, so I quickly got it off."

Wang Wenlong took the dagger and glanced at it, then frowned and opened the envelope. There were two pieces of paper in the envelope. He opened the first piece of paper and looked at it twice. His eyes widened instantly, and he quickly folded the letter and asked:

"Uncle, have you not shown this letter to anyone else?"

Wang Jingui said: "Don't worry about this, I pulled out the letter and it didn't pass through the hands of the second person."

Only then did Wang Wenlong open the letter again.

The first piece of paper is the size of a normal flyer, folded [-]% off. The content is a scripture promoting the Zhao Yiping Uprising in Zhejiang. The printing quality can be seen at a glance that it is printed on a wax board. The font is in rough Song font. It is a propaganda text that is not dead. At the end, his name, Wang Wenlong, was also dropped.This was obviously a frame-up, and she wanted him to die.

Wang Wenlong opened the second piece of paper and saw that there was only one sentence written in cinnabar on the paper, which was dazzling red: "If you want to save your life, go out to avoid disaster."

Wang Wenlong instantly guessed whose handiwork it was. After coming to this era for so long, the people Wang Wenlong had offended were Gao Yin's group. Among them, the only one who could kill him was Wei Tianjue.

Wei Tianjue is really vicious. Xu Xueju can't protect him from rebellion these days, and even if he escapes from Fujian, he may be able to escape, but after careful investigation, his reputation will definitely be ruined, let alone seal. If you are a famous scholar, you will be lucky if you can avoid being investigated by the government.

Wang Wenlong is not willing to let all his accumulation in this time and space go to waste, but it is too hasty for Wang Yu to initiate the change of life in advance in a short period of time.

It seems that we can only think of other ways, and they must be implemented in a short time...

……

Half an hour later, Wang Wenlong had breakfast and changed clothes as usual. He watched at the door for a long time and felt that he was not being targeted, so he took Wang Pingbao out with him.

Wang Pingbao: "Wenlong, I'll call you a slippery pole."

"No, let's walk forward and call the slider at the next street."

Wang Pingbao: "But on this windy day..."

Wang Wenlong: "I haven't been moving for a long time, so I just need to take two more steps."

Not calling the slider at the door is naturally to prevent being plotted against.

Wei Tianjue is not the one who dominates the sky in Fuzhou. The headquarters can buy all the sliders in the nearby alleys as its own people.

After crossing two alleys, Wang Wenlong finally sat on the slide. He couldn't help cursing in his heart: It's such a hassle. Going to a banquet is like doing something scandalous.

……

Because there was some delay on the way, the banquet was about to begin when Wang Wenlong arrived at Xu Xueju's residence on a sliding pole.

As soon as he entered the gate, Xu Xinggong came to greet him with a smile. Wang Wenlong went to meet Xu Xueju and Shen Jing first, and then Xu Xinggong took him and said: "I will introduce you to a few friends. This is Jiang Ricai, a student from Taining. Perfect."

Wang Wenlong quickly raised his hands and said, "Hello, friend Jiang."

Jiang Ricai is only 30 years old this year and is still just a student, but Wang Wenlong knows that Jiang Ricai will win the imperial examination in a few years, then become a Jinshi, and later be promoted to the chief of the Staff Department of the Ministry of War, and finally become the supervisor of the Liaodong Army.

Later, Yuan Chonghuan's ability to embark on the road to command the army was inseparable from Jiang Ricai's recommendation.
