Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 160

It began to spread in the market that Mo Yan, who opened an antique shop, secretly gave usury for a Marquis, and then they heard that the descendants of the Xie family in Chenjun were his fellow apprentices, and they had a close relationship with each other, and then someone saw it with their own eyes. A rich lady from an official's family threw money into the store, and spent a lot of money, invested a large amount of silver, and let her operate for profit.

Shopkeeper Mo’s hands and eyes are really good, the settlement is settled once every seven days, the promised interest is not a lot, and you can get it on time, one pass ten, ten pass one hundred, more and more rich and powerful gentry are tempted, including the original tentative investment Those who have a part of the money, seeing the wealthy lady of the official family getting a lot of bonuses, can't help being jealous, and can't wait to add more chips. The real curio hunter.

In fact, this kind of deception has existed in ancient and modern China and abroad, and some people have achieved great success.In the West, this is called a pyramid scheme or a Ponzi scheme. In China, it is more straightforward.

The scammer claims to have a way to concentrate funds for investment and profit, so as to collect other people's funds and promise high interest. In fact, he just returns the money of the late investor as interest to the first investor, so as to gain everyone's trust , invest more and more money, you can get huge income at the fastest speed in the shortest time.

But when investors really received huge profits on schedule, and saw others flocking to them for fear of not being able to get in the car, who would calmly think that there might be a scam in it, and Mo's Antique Shop issued more and more receipts , The money they received was piled up like a mountain. Wan Songling is a very cautious person. He didn't want to wait for a year or two, and then run away when the defeat is about to be revealed. There are many rich people in Jinling. Enough was enough, he began to tighten the rope around Xie Luchan's neck.

On this day, after healed Xie Luchan again, Wan Songling frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Xie Luchan noticed that there was a change in his expression, and couldn't help but worry: "Master, what happened?"

Wan Songling murmured: "It's strange, as a teacher healed you with true qi, you saw a big improvement, but in the past two days, I found that your injury is gradually returning to its original state, canceling each other out, even if you have been cured for 100 years as a teacher, it will still be the same. Impossible to be good."

When Xie Luchan heard it like five thunderbolts, she said in horror: "Master, what... what's going on?"

Wan Songling sneered secretly. Once this kind of seeking person's mind becomes hot, he will become a little crazy. He will become unbelievable because of his obsession, and even deny his relatives. This is what he wants. It depends on the situation, Xie Lu The cicadas are already deep in it.

Wan Songling resolutely said: "Someone interfered with what I used as a teacher. It is the Taoist Innate True Qi Kung Fu passed down by Master Changchunzi, and it cannot be destroyed by idlers. If you talk about it carefully, as a teacher, you know who you have come into contact with these days. ?”

Xie Luchan said: "My disciple, since Master healed me, didn't go out easily. Apart from drawing a few paintings that someone had already ordered, I just picked up the scriptures and studied hard. I only hope that my body will recover and I can get my honor again. Get in touch with people."

Wan Songling frowned, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Who else is in your family?"

Xie Luchan said: "There is only one younger sister. She went to the countryside with her godmother a few days ago and came back only two days ago. Could it be..."

Speaking of this, his face suddenly turned white, and he shook his head hastily: "No, no, my sister... how could she hurt me?"

Wan Songling's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked: "What is your sister's birth date, tell me quickly and let me know."

Don't say it's a daughter's family, even if it's a man, he didn't tell anyone about his birth date, but the matter is very important, Xie Luchan clearly has no doubts in this fake old man who goes by the pseudonym Le Lingkong, so he just hesitated , Then he said the birth date of his sister.Wan Songling stretched out his fingers, pretended to make calculations, gasped and said, "So that's how it is, that's how it is."

Xie Luchan couldn't wait to say: "Master, what's going on?"

Wan Songling said with a dignified expression: "It's strange, you are a Wenqu star descending to earth, and your sister is also a Wenqu star descending to earth."

Xie Luchan was stunned for a moment, and then happily said: "This happened? This is a good thing. I said that the girl didn't like reading very much since she was a child. She is so smart. She has a vivid memory for poems, books and articles. It turns out that this is the case. Wenqu, I, Xie Jiafu Yin, is so profound."

Wan Songling said in a deep voice: "Teacher, don't be too happy too early. Although Wenquxing is in charge of literary luck, he is more suitable for men than women."

Xie Luchan was taken aback again, she put away her joy, and asked inexplicably, "So what?"

Wan Songling said: "Wenqu star is a female in the five elements, so it has a peach blossom nature. A man is named Wenqu, with literary talent and broad talent. A woman is named Wenqu, self-willed and depraved, and easy-going. Moreover, Wenqu stars are in the same palace, and they have mutual affection. To make matters worse, the nine stars of the Big Dipper, seven appear and two are hidden. Judging from Lingmei's horoscope, the time when Lingmei was born was the time when the lone star between the fourth and seventh stars of the Big Dipper offended Wenqu , so hit with evil spirit."

Although Wan Songling is a master of Fengmen, he is not completely ignorant of the knowledge of scriptures in "Five Flowers and Eight Schools". At this time, he was talking nonsense, and it sounded logical, and Xie Luchan was frightened, and asked in a trembling voice. : "Then... so what?"

Wan Songling said solemnly: "Your sister's fate is extremely hard. This is a very ominous sign, which is very unlucky for the family. The evil star has no influence on me, but it can restrain my parents and brothers, causing misfortune to the family, and even... ... violent death"

"Impossible, impossible, sister... how could my sister harm me..." Xie Luchan backed up again and again, and almost fell to the ground.

Wan Songling sighed: "Apprentice, it's not that she has a cruel heart and intends to harm you, but that she is born with a fierce personality, which affects fate and harms her family."

"impossible……"

Xie Luchan just said this, and suddenly remembered that since the birth of her younger sister, her family began to decline, and then her father died of a sudden illness, and her mother passed away one after another. In order to save her sister, she was crushed by a wheel and broke her leg. Could it be that all of this is not accidental...

Xie Luchan was dazed for a long time, her expression gradually became sad and sad.

Wan Songling saw his expression in his eyes, and said: "As a teacher, I am just a mortal, and I can't restrain this natural evil spirit. If I want to get rid of this evil..."

Xie Luchan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Is there a solution to this?"

Wan Songling nodded and said: "There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved, and the solution is naturally found in books."

Xie Luchan hurriedly said: "Please guide me, teacher, how to solve it?"

Wan Songling raised his finger and said, "The easiest way is for Lingmei to die. If she dies, the evil spirit will naturally not be able to harm others."

Xie Luchan's complexion changed, she shook her head and said, "You mustn't, Xie Luchan would rather die than hurt her sister?"

Wan Songling said: "Being a teacher is just explaining the Dharma, not wanting you to harm the heavens and kill your life. This is just one way, another way is to make my sister marry a man who is tougher than her, and leave the Xie family. It's not Xie's family, so naturally it can't hinder you. Besides, that man's horoscope is stronger than hers, so he can restrain her and won't harm her husband and family again."

Xie Luchan hesitated and said: "Little sister is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if it wasn't for someone she likes, I'm afraid...I'm afraid she won't marry."

Wan Songling sighed: "A woman's life-long affairs have always been the orders of her parents. How can she decide what the matchmaker says? As long as you, as an elder brother, sign a marriage certificate with someone, you will be in the government, and this account will also be taken care of by the government." Everyone recognizes it. Alas, if you don’t use this method, your leg disease will never heal for life, and...it’s hard to say whether she still has any harm to your Xie family, the lone star of the devil..., is to thank you What’s so special about your family’s failure to overcome all obstacles? Fortunately, you are also a heavenly Wenqu, and you have the protection of heaven, so you can live to this day, otherwise..., apprentice, think about it carefully, if you are willing, you can become a teacher Instead, I can search for you, find a man who can restrain your sister, and solve the catastrophe of your Xie family."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xie Luchan staggered towards the door of her house, and when she got near the door, she stood still at a distance, but she couldn't muster the courage to move forward.The younger sister who depended on each other turned out to be the lone star of the gods who hindered Xie's family?He didn't want to believe it at first, but thinking about what the kind and amiable master said, and thinking about everything the Xie family had experienced in these years, he couldn't help but believe it.

Wan Songling, who was sneaking behind him, changed his attire, saw him hesitant and at a loss from a distance, smiled slightly, and gestured to Zhao Xiaohu, Mo Yan's little follower, Zhao Xiaohu nodded, and immediately handed out the code, Two people dressed as scholars flashed out immediately, waving their folding fans lightly, and walked towards Xie Luchan who was standing there in a daze.

"Hey, that little lady has a charming appearance and a variety of styles. She is really delicious. I heard that her family lives in this area?"

"It should be. She is like a little fox fairy. She is the only one who comes to find a man. Where can we find her? Brother Zhang, don't worry. After a few days, she will find an excuse to come and meet me again. Listen Said that there is only one elder brother who is crippled in her family, and he doesn't control her very much."

Xie Luchan's heart moved when she heard this, and she opened her mouth to ask, but she couldn't open her mouth. The two scholars didn't take him seriously, so they swayed past him: "One time she said that she slipped her mouth, She seems to call herself Xie, but who knows, it's a pity that she looks pretty, but she's too loose, otherwise I would have taken her as my concubine sincerely."

Xie Luchan's heart was pounding, and it was only the sentence Wan Songling said over and over again: "The heroine Wenqu, she is willing to degenerate, and she is easy-going."

Seeing that the two were going far away, Xie Luchan gritted his teeth and ran towards the door of the house. When he rushed to the door of the house, he saw a member of staff leading a few servants blocking the door and shouting. In the courtyard stood his sister and Nan Fei. Fei, the two sides don't know what to argue about.

Seeing him coming back suddenly, the younger sister showed a frightened look on her face, and quickly scolded those people to go away, Xie Luchan became suspicious, stepped forward and asked, it turned out to be a member who was cheated out of money by her younger sister and Nan Feifei, Xie Luchan This anger was really serious, turned around and looked again, and saw that my sister was pale and frightened, she didn't need to ask anything, was everything she saw before her eyes fake?

Xie Luchan was furious, pointed at her sister and yelled: "You...you are so shameless and corrupt the family style, you...you..."

Before he could finish a sentence, he fell forward and fainted from anger, unconscious.

The officer seemed to be afraid of being sued for life, seeing this situation, cursed a few more words, and led his family away in a hurry.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Master, is he the one you're talking about?"

Xie Luchan looked at the big man behind the roadside stall with a swollen face and a coat so greasy that he could wring out two taels of pork fat, with a blank expression on his face.

Wan Songling said: "That's right. This man's name is Li Dayong. He is a butcher. His birth date has four pillars, and the year, month, day, and hour have their own yin and yang attributes. One yang and three yin, three yin overcome one yang. One life; and two yang and two yin, the yin and yang offset each other, and also get the five elements, one attribute, one life; and when there are three yang characters in the life, the three yangs overcome one yin, and you can get the five elements and two attributes, that is, two lives

This person was born at the time of the sun, the sun, the moon, the sun, and the sun. The four suns are gathered together, and God blesses his destiny.Don't look at him for his lowly career, but his fate is so hard that it happens once in a hundred years. My Taoist disciple has worked hard for a hundred years to cultivate himself and realize the Tao. It's not easy for a real person." He has married two wives successively, both of whom passed away early because of his hard fate, and only a person like Lingmei who is destined to be lonely can live with him and restrain each other, so that he can have a long-term future. "

"Sister... Marry such a person?" Xie Luchan's mouth twitched a few times.

Wan Songling narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at his performance, and secretly sneered in his heart.Of course he knew all about what happened in Xie's house, it was arranged by him in the first place, the two scholars who were looking for flowers and willows were pretended by his people, but the outsider was Mo Yan who scouted around, and the one he found was once cheated by Xie Yufei people.

Xie Luchan is a very family-oriented person. First, he knew that her younger sister was promiscuous, and she fooled around with some scholars and dudes outside, ruining her reputation and not obeying women's morals.He also knew that his sister was cooperating with others to seduce and deceive people. This double blow, coupled with her fate, isn't it enough to kill the family affection in his heart?

Wan Songling is well versed in the psychology of others, and he is fully sure that Xie Luchan knew about his sister's shameless debauchery and defrauding of money. This kind of hatred and sadness is enough to offset his kinship with his sister. For the sake of the reputation of the Xie family, no matter how long she struggles, she will obediently obey her arrangement in the end.For a woman like this, it's a tall order to match a butcher, so what else does he want to find fault with?

To marry that charming little beauty to such a butcher...

Wan Songling grinned secretly. Li Dayong had indeed married two wives, but they were not beaten to death by him. One was unbearable because he beat his own life when he was drunk, and committed suicide by jumping into a well; the other was simply beaten to death by him. Endure, eloped with someone with a small burden, let Xie Yufei end up like this, it's just a breath of anger

Looking at Butcher Li, who was staring at a pair of bull's eyes, with a thick beard like bristle, and was chopping pork stuffing with his big belly, Wan Songling's smile became even more cheerful.

Xie Luchan's expression changed, she struggled for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth: "Okay, I will listen to Master, and I will talk to him about... marriage"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"How is the Xie family?"

The night was dark, and the blue light shone on Wan Songling's green face, making it look a little gloomy.

Mo Yan said: "The brothers and sisters of Xie's family were arguing, Xie Luchan slapped his sister twice, Xie Yufei wanted to hang himself, and Li Butcher asked the head of the workshop and neighbors to force the marriage with marriage documents, hehe, It's really lively."

Wan Songling said with a sinister smile: "It's not lively enough. When people find out tomorrow that our place is empty and all the people and money are gone, go to my good apprentice's house. The rich, the nobles, and the gentry will all use their abilities and go their separate ways." When Xie Luchan, the only person related to us, wanted us to go down, Xie Luchan had no choice but to commit suicide to thank the world."

He glanced again. Mo Yan and Zhao Xiaohu were already ready. Each of them carried a big burden on their shoulders. The money in it was all the money cheated these days. off, let's go now"

Just as the three of them were about to go out, the door suddenly burst open, and Xie Luchan stumbled in from the outside, angrily said: "Master, Li Butcher obviously likes to beat his wife and force her to jump into a well, why do you..."

He saw the appearance of the three of them clearly at a glance, and couldn't help being surprised: "You...you are..."

Mo Yan's expression turned cold, and he rushed forward, covered his mouth, and stabbed a knife into his chest fiercely.

Xie Luti screamed "Ah", and fell down covering her chest, blood spurting from between her fingers, his wide eyes were full of horror and disbelief, as if she didn't understand his amiable and respectable nature until she died. Why did the master and the honest brother kill him.

Wan Songling frowned and said: "What do you kill him for? We are not exterminating people from the sect. If I kill people in the Fengmen, I should kill without blood. Let him be cornered and seek death by himself, so as to show my methods of Fengmen."

Mo Yan wiped the blood on the bottom of his boots, put the knife back into his waist, and said, "Master, he died on both sides. It doesn't matter if he dies today or tomorrow. Let's go."

After he finished speaking, he saw Wan Songling staring straight at the gate. Under the dim light, there was a person standing at the gate. It was a friend of Xie Luchan's dude, who was looking at them in horror. It seemed that the man screamed and ran away, Wan Songling couldn't catch up, stamped his foot and said: "Go quickly, get out of the city immediately!"

The three left in a panic, only to see a shoe left at the door. It turned out that the man was so frightened that he ran away, not only forgot to call for help, but even lost one of the shoes. The three of them didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried to the nearest city gate. rush to.

It took only a moment for the three of them to leave when the gate of the courtyard opened, and the dandy who had escaped just now walked in abruptly. Walked in quickly, looked down at Xie Luchan who was lying at the door with wide-eyed eyes, laughed "puchi", kicked him and said, "Get up, brat, are you addicted to pretending?"

"Xie Luchan" opened his eyes, laughed, a carp jumped up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xizhu, this meeting nephew did the most? I feel like I'm playing that stupid boy Xie Luchan every day. It's kind of silly."

That beautiful woman was the wife of the official family who asked Wan Songling to exorcise evil spirits, and took out a large sum of money to ask him to put usury first. She smiled lightly and said, "Are you really smart? It's not bad, you can hide it." This man surnamed Wan is pretty solid. Let's go, we should call it a day."

Fake Xie Luchan carefully wiped away the only drop of blood on the ground, and said again: "Will there be any mistakes on the little junior sister's side?"

Mrs. Xizhu said indifferently: "Don't worry, those two girls are ten times smarter than you. The benefits this time are indispensable to you. What are you worried about?"

Fake Xie Luchan smiled and cupped her hands and said: "Thank you, aunt, following aunt is much better than following master, without much effort, someone cheated countless gold jewels and handed them over to us, haha, how happy it is "

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Regarding the city gate of Jinling City, the local people have a jingle to describe it: "Thirteen inside, eighteen outside, one gate check facing outward." The gate with the gate bolt facing outward is the Shence Gate.Although the Shence Gate is located in a remote place, it stands abruptly by the Xuanwu Lake, and close to Baitu Mountain and the Yangtze River to the north. Once the enemy troops approach the city, it will be particularly important in military defense.

Therefore, the Ming court adapted measures to local conditions, and the design here was rather strange. The city gate was inside, and the urn city was outside. The urn city gate was not directly facing the city gate, but opened at the northeast corner of the urn city.To enter and exit the city gate, you have to go through the left and right gates. Usually, only one gate is opened, and two gates are opened in emergencies. Go out from here and rush to the Guanyin Gate in the outer city, and then go outside to Yanziji.

From there, you can take the water to Jiujiang and go down to Suzhou and Hangzhou. There are countless water and land roads along the way, and you can escape without a trace at any time.

Wan Songling didn't expect Xie Luchan to come suddenly at the last moment, and Mo Yan couldn't hold back anymore and killed him, otherwise he might be able to deceive him.He has already killed someone now, no matter how bad his dandy friend is, he will surely wake up at this time, the inspectors may come after him in a while, how dare he stop, and lead his two accomplices to run for their lives.

After leaving the Guanyin Gate, they also left the entire Jinling City. The three of them ran seven or eight miles away from the city gate in one breath. Just after they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard the sound of killing from behind. Turning their heads, they saw more than a dozen The inspectors with torches came running fast, Wan Songling yelled bitterly, and immediately ran to a small bridge, and the pursuers were approaching, so he drew out his iron ruler and rushed forward with a single sword .

When Mo Yan and Zhao Xiaohu saw it, they immediately drew out their weapons and went up to fight. Wan Songling always followed the rules of the Fengmen, and only used his wits and resourcefulness, and he didn't need to take by force. Shouted: "Go, go, don't get entangled with them"

While talking, I heard a scream, and an official was stabbed between the chest and abdomen by Mo Yan, and fell on his back. But at this moment, two other police officers had already caught him, and one of them picked up an iron ruler and slapped Mo Yan hard. On the arm, he knocked down the knife in his palm, and with a flick of the other chain, he was locked firmly.At the same time, Zhao Xiaohu was slashed by someone with a knife, and fell to the ground with a miserable cry, and did not make another sound.

"Bitter is also bitter." Wan Songling stomped his feet anxiously. He didn't care about the life and death of the two nephews who had a little friendship, but the money they cheated was still in their burden. The two juniors along the way He insisted on carrying it, maybe it was out of respect for the elderly, or maybe it was because he was worried that he, the uncle, would carry it away by himself, but this time I was empty-handed and busy.

Seeing those vicious arresters rushing towards him again, Wan Songling had no choice but to run away, relying on his quick hands and feet, being alone and easy to move, he gradually threw them away.

"Too bad Mo Yan was captured alive, and I will definitely be recruited as the mastermind. His grandmother's, Lao Tzu's tricks this time not only deceived Xie's family, but also defrauded many rich and powerful gentry. It was originally killing two birds with one stone, but now things have been exposed. Another official died in the line of duty. Once I was caught, I would have no luck. In two days, the picture of Huaying had to be posted. No, I had to flee immediately and follow the Yangtze River. The farther the better, I changed my face and hid , In ten or eight years, Jiangnan will never come back."

Thinking about it, Wan Songling threw off his legs and ran fast, like a lost dog, leaving the official who held the torch far behind.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard."

Standing at the end of the bridge all the time, it seemed that the leader's two policemen came over quickly, one of them said with a smile, and put the brim of his hat on the hilt of a knife, and the red light from the torch made her pretty face blush, It was Xie Yufei.

Another catcher took off his hat, with a strange face, it was Nan Feifei, and she said triumphantly: "This idiot, we cheated someone in Fengyang, and he will come to you right away, isn't it because Is that his territory? And Jinling City is our territory, and he really doesn’t know how to write dead words when he comes here to trick our bosses.”

Xie Yufei said with a pretty face, "Senior Wan came here from Fengyang with great hard work, set up a scheme with great effort, helped us earn so much money, and then fled to the end of the world with no regrets We should show our respect and admiration to such heroes who rob the rich and give to the poor to do justice for the heavens."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, her smile was like a flower, and she was extremely beautiful.

It turned out that Wan Songling found his nephew from the same school who had met him several times, and asked him to find out about Xie Yufei. Mo Yan was lying to the people in the school, and the contacts he knew were all people in this industry. Once the news spread, it was very difficult It quickly attracted the attention of interested people.The fact that Xie Yufei doesn't eat grass when committing crimes doesn't mean that she doesn't have anything to do with being in the local area, at least her master Nan Xizhu and many fellow disciples are all natives of Yingtian.

Therefore, Mo Yan did not find Xie Yufei, but was approached by Xie Yufei's elders on his own initiative. When Mo Yan saw the famous seniors of the local Qianmen approaching, he didn't know who he had offended. Keeping it a secret, he told all about Wan Songling.A man of thousands of families has his own methods, Mrs. Xizhu will not use the power of the government to arrest him and imprison him, plus she is a little bit cash-strapped after retiring for so many years, but she doesn't want to go back to her old career, He tried to deceive people, so... Wan Songling was a tragedy.

Xie Luchan was sent to the Yang family in Moling Town by Xie Yufei, in the pretense of painting portraits of Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang, and painting a screen for the newly completed Yang's new house. The fake Xie Luchan and the real Xie Yufei moved. We settled down by the shore of Xuanwu Lake.In a net of heaven and earth, Wan Songling stood in the center happily digging a hole for himself, while Mo Yan and Zhao Xiaohu, two little crooks who had already taken refuge in Mrs. Xizhu, were on the sidelines fanning the flames and making suggestions for him. Mrs. Xizhu herself also came forward Adding fuel to the flames, today is finally done.

Zhao Xiaohu, who was pretending to be dead, and Mo Yan, who was pretending to be captured alive, also stood up. A group of people were chatting and laughing. They didn't expect that someone in the grass beside the road had seen everything clearly. This person was here to respond. Peng Ziqi, who is looking for a girl all day.He hid in the grass and watched, not understanding the reason for this strange scene, but he clearly saw the two people wearing official clothes, but they were clearly the images of his daughter's family.
