Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 285 Persuasion
"Taoist Kongkong has met the prince. Why do you want to arrest me?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask after knowing Li Qiang's identity.

From what Li Qiang said before, it seemed that he had a grudge against the mangy monk, but he couldn't understand how a mortal prince could have a grudge against an immortal.

"Taoist Kongkong, it turns out to be Zhen Fei Zhen Shiyin!" Li Qiang now knew the identity of this person and said his name with a smile.

"How do you know this Tao?" Taoist Kongkong asked in surprise.

Even if someone knew about his becoming a monk, they would not be able to know his Taoist name.

Almost no outsiders knew his Taoist name, but Li Qiang knew his origins just by hearing his Taoist name.

"I have a destiny with you!" Li Qiang said with a smile.

Taoist Kongkong always felt that this sentence was so familiar. It seemed to be the immortal's favorite sentence, but when it was said in Li Qiang's mouth, it sounded strange.

"Your wife Feng is working for me now, and your daughter Yinglian lives in the palace. Please tell me whether I am destined to be you!" Li Qiang continued to explain.

"Have you found Yinglian?" Taoist Kongkong thought that his fate was over and he had nothing to worry about, but after hearing about Yinglian, he couldn't care about anything else and asked anxiously.

Jia Baoyu lowered his head. It was difficult for him to make any demands. The person in front of him was not his friend. On the contrary, the two sides were not friendly because of Lin Daiyu's incident.

He didn't feel anything in it. Only then did he realize that the Tao he was practicing was not a pure Tao. If he followed the monk to practice Tao, he might be the only one in the world.

Jia Baoyu fell in love with everyone he met and never suffered any hardship. The biggest hardship was being in jail for half a year.

"I met Yinglian many years ago in the south of the Yangtze River, rescued her from human traffickers, and later found her mother, Feng Shi. Will you go and meet Yinglian? She has always wanted to see her father?" Li Qiang looked at Taoist Kongkong and asked.

Jia Baoyu felt relieved, knowing that Li Qiang would not harm his life.

Taoist Kongkong held the token. He squeezed the token tightly, stood up and bowed deeply to Li Qiang.

Only then did he think of his parents. No matter how strict his father was, he was still his father.

"Can I go see them?" Jia Baoyu asked weakly.

Although Jia Baoyu was awakened, he had not yet experienced spiritual practice and had not recovered the memory of his previous life. He could not understand the words of Li Qiang and Kongkong Taoist.

"Don't mention your meeting with me to anyone when you go back, okay?" Li Qiang finally confessed.

Indeed, without Lin Daiyu's participation, the experience of Shenying's waiter, Jia Baoyu, in the mortal world really has nothing to say.

It is true that he has enmity with the immortals, but not all immortals have enmity with him. As long as Taoist Kong Kong doesn't take the initiative to find him, he will not embarrass Taoist Kong Kong.

"Go find Xue Baochai. Maybe your parents can come back in a few years!" Li Qiang thought for a while and replied.

"With your current situation, are you able to go that far?" Li Qiang asked.

This ritual is not a Taoist ritual, but a Confucian ritual. Taoist Kongkong used to be a scholar, and his ritual represents that he has given up his identity as a Taoist priest.

He no longer cared about Taoist Kong Kong, and said everything he should say.

"Take this token and go see your daughter. The Feng family is also in the capital. Your family can be reunited!" Li Qiang took out a token and put it in Taoist Kongkong's hand and said.

After something happened to the lame Taoist, he continued to practice with the leprous monk.

"Kill emotions and destroy nature. It seems that the way you cultivate is a ruthless way. Even if you don't practice this way, how can a ruthless and unjust person exist in the world!" Li Qiang shook her head and smiled.

"Your Majesty, how are my parents?" Jia Baoyu suddenly asked.

But Li Qiang in front of him already knew exactly how to avoid frightening him.

He had no intention of killing Jia Baoyu, leaving Jia Baoyu to catch the leprous monk.

"I only heard that Buddhism kills emotions and destroys nature. I never thought that Taoism can also kill emotions and nature. Are you practicing Buddhism or Taoism?" Li Qiang then attacked Taoist Kongkong.

"Your parents are already in Guyuan Town, Jiubian. I have made arrangements. They are fine, don't worry!" Li Qiang replied with a smile.

When he said these words, he exuded a hint of power. Just this hint of power made Jia Baoyu feel chilled all over, as if he was facing a savage beast.

"How did you know?" Taoist Kongkong was really shocked this time.

He had been converted by Kongkong Taoist before, but who knew that the convert himself was reversed by Li Qiang. At this time, his idea of ​​becoming a monk disappeared.

"It's funny to say that the immortal threw the waiter of Shenying into the mortal world, hoping that the waiter of Shenying would be tempered in the world, but he wanted the waiter of Shenying to enjoy the wealth and honor in the world, and the so-called tempering was just half a year in jail. It's funny, it's so funny!" Li Qiang then laughed.

He left the courtyard, and behind him, the Taoist robe fell alone on the ground.

Li Qiang is no longer a person who knows nothing. He himself has studied Buddhism deeply and practiced Taoism for a period of time.

"No!" Taoist Kongkong shook his head and tried hard to refute, but after all, he had only been in Taoism for a short time, and he was affected by his daughter's incident, so he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Taoist Kongkong, what kind of path do you practice? The Buddhist way? The ruthless way? Or the way of using all the people in the world as a dog to fight for cud?" Li Qiang's voice continued to grow louder, asking Taoist Kongkong sentence by sentence.

Taoist Kongkong only felt that something was broken in his heart, and with a 'click', he no longer had any strength in his body.

Regarding the waiter Shenying, he also learned about it from the leprous monk before this mission.

Taoist Kongkong sat on the ground blankly, his faith collapsed during the conversation with Li Qiang.

This place is not for training, it is better to say it is for vacation.

If you really want to work hard, put Jia Baoyu in any farmer's home, walk out of suffering, and move towards success step by step. This is the right way.

"I have become a monk and have no home anymore!" Taoist Kongkong said after being stunned for a long time.

Li Qiang waved her hand, grabbed Taoist Kong Kong's summoning object and let go.

Jia Baoyu nodded repeatedly, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

Taoist Kongkong was stunned. The Taoist he cultivated was introduced to him by the lame Taoist, but the lame Taoist had something to do and handed him over to the leprous monk.

Li Qiang waved her hand, Jia Gong lifted Jia Baoyu, and the figure turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Xue Baochai was sitting on the carriage with a solemn expression. She didn't know what to do and just wanted to go home and discuss it with her parents.

The carriage was moving forward when suddenly something came in from outside the carriage curtain.

As this thing entered the car, a stench filled Xue Baochai and the two maids to the point of nauseating.

Xue Baochai was about to scream, but she immediately saw clearly that the smelly thing was Jia Baoyu.

"It's Baoyu, help Baoyu up quickly!" She ordered the two maids.

The two maids resisted the stench and stepped forward to help Jia Baoyu.

As soon as Jia Baoyu was righted upright, Jia Baoyu spit it out, which increased the smell in the car many times.

You really can't blame Jia Baoyu. How could he, who was so proud and privileged, withstand Jia Gong's speed? Jia Gong's speed was too fast. When Jia Baoyu, who had never experienced anything like this before, was thrown into the car, his stomach was shaking, but he was forcibly held up by two maids, so he opened his mouth and vomited. state.

Xue Baochai let out a scream, she could no longer maintain her proper reserve.

Finally, the cushions in the carriage were thrown away, and Jia Baoyu sat on the edge of the carriage. If Jia Baoyu hadn't been concerned about his identity, he would have asked him to sit on the shaft of the carriage with the driver.

Li Qiang took care of the affairs in Beijing and no longer stayed. She once again sat on Jia Gong's divine war horse and went to join the artillery army on the grassland.

Only Taoist Kongkong, namely Zhen Shiyin, and Jia Baoyu knew about his appearance in the capital. Neither of them would speak out, so no one knew.

Li Qiang is not in the capital, and the fight between the three princes in the capital is still intensifying.

In particular, the battle between the third prince and the fifth prince reached a fever pitch, with officials being impeached every day.

The seventh prince seemed particularly low-key, as if he didn't want to get involved in the fight between the third prince and the fifth prince.

But the third prince and the fifth prince were not fools. After a period of fighting, they found that both sides had suffered heavy losses, while the seventh prince was watching from afar.

So the third prince and the fifth prince drew the seventh prince into this fight. Officials from the third prince's and fifth prince's forces began to impeach the officials from the seventh prince's force.

Although the seventh prince did not want to participate, if nothing was done, the officials below would lose their support, so he took the investigation into his hands and arranged for officials to impeach the officials of the two princes.

The seventh prince was sitting in a side room of the imperial palace, drinking tea and waiting for someone.

There was a voice at the door, and he looked up and saw Guiting, the eunuch who was the eunuch of Shangshan Supervisor.

"My servant pays homage to the Seventh Prince!" Eunuch Guiting showed a flattering smile and stepped forward to salute.

"No courtesy, sit down!" The seventh prince smiled lightly and pointed to the chair beside him.

Eunuch Guiting thanked him and sat half-way on his chair. Being able to do the palm prints of a eunuch in the palace is truly an achievement.

The seventh prince in front of him is one of the three who may ascend the throne. No matter how small the possibility of the seventh prince ascending the throne, as long as there is a slight possibility, the eunuch Guiting will not dare to offend him.

But if the seventh prince wanted him to do something, he would not agree to excessive demands.

Again, as long as the seventh prince has not ascended the throne, he cannot do anything to the eunuch in charge of Shang Shanjian. The eunuch Guiting cannot offend the seventh prince, and he will not take risks for the seventh prince.

"Father told me that you are still a loyal slave!" the seventh prince said calmly.

This sentence fell like a thunder in the ears of eunuch Guiting, making him stand up suddenly.

When Emperor Jingwen was in power, he spent a lot of effort to take down the eunuch Guiting who was in charge of Shangshan Supervisor.

In the end, not only was the corruption of Eunuch Guiting found, but his family was also found.

Although the Guiting eunuch lost his roots when he was young, after he became powerful, he adopted a son from his relatives. This son also gave birth to a grandson for him, and his family currently lives in Beijing.

No one knows about this. Eunuch Guiting understands the risks of being in the palace, and his family will be affected if he is not careful.

But Emperor Jingwen found out and used these two things to blackmail the Guiting eunuch.

The most important thing is that Emperor Jingwen also asked eunuch Guiting to write a confession. The confession is the most fatal thing.

Eunuch Guiting did not dare to bet on whether the confession letter was in the hands of the seventh prince. Just relying on the seventh prince's suggestion of the relationship between Emperor Jingwen and himself, he knew that at least Emperor Jingwen had sent this relationship to the seventh prince.

The relationship between the eunuch Guiting and Emperor Jingwen has never been leaked.

What kind of place is Shangshanjian? It is the place where meals are provided everywhere in the palace.

"This slave has seen his master!" Eunuch Guiting had no other choice. He looked around and found no one, then he knelt down in front of the seventh prince and said.

The Seventh Prince felt a wave of relief all over his body. A eunuch with a handprint in the palace was controlled by him, which greatly increased his ambition.

"Do your job well, and when I sit in that position, I will be rewarded heavily!" the seventh prince said with a smile.

He needs to go back and think carefully about how to make good use of eunuch Guiting.

Zhen Shiyin came to the former Jiahou Mansion, now Prince Yi Zhong's Mansion, wearing short clothes and a desolate look.

"Go, go, is this the place you should be?" Menzi saw that he was shabby and immediately drove him away.

"I have the prince's token, and I want to see Miss Yinglian!" Zhen Shiyin quickly took out the token from his arms and handed it over.

When Menzi saw the token, his expression changed slightly.

"Wait here, I'll go in and pass the message!" Menzi entered the mansion with the token, and after a while Jade followed Menzi out.

Originally, this kind of matter was handled by Chief Lu Xun, but when it comes to the female family members in the mansion, Feicui must come forward.

Jade looked at the down-and-out middle-aged man in front of her, and she could vaguely see that he had a decent appearance and did not look like a villain.

"I am the steward of the mansion, my name is Jade. Please come into the mansion first!" Jade invited with a smile.

"Girl Jade, I want to see Yinglian!" Zhen Shiyin said anxiously as he entered the house.

"Don't be anxious. Miss Yinglian lives in the garden. I have sent someone to invite you. Please tell me who you are and why you want to see Miss Yinglian?" Feicui brought her into the hall, asked her to sit down and asked .

Because Zhen Shiyin held Li Qiang's token, he did not neglect any hospitality.

A maid brought tea, but Feicui was worried that Zhen Shiyin was hungry, so she had someone bring snacks.

"My name is Zhen Shiyin, and Yinglian is my daughter!" Zhen Shiyin introduced himself.

He also knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he picked up the tea and took a few sips.

"You are Yinglian's father!" Jade was really shocked.

She also knew why Li Qiang gave the token to this person. She thought Li Qiang found Yinglian's father and then let him come to the house.

She summoned a boy and asked him to inform Feng.

The Feng family entered the capital, but did not live in the mansion.

The Feng family is in charge of some business in the mansion, and there are not many people who can be trusted 100%. With Yinglian in the mansion, Feicui will not let her go to the Feng family in the capital.

In addition, Feng had experience in this field in Jiangnan, so besides meeting Yinglian regularly when he came to Beijing, he spent the rest of the time busy with the mansion.

Mrs. Feng was also happy. Seeing her daughter living the life of a royal princess, she could only work hard to do things for the palace to feel at ease.

Zhen Shiyin was drinking tea and eating snacks. He was really hungry.
