Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 312 Revenge
The three of them stood at the entrance of an alley, and Mao Ersheng suddenly thought of some key points and shouted, "I remembered, that person said that he has something to do with Taoist Xuanzhen."

"Master Xuanzhen? Did you hear me right?" Du Xiaoyu asked.

"Certainly not. When he said Taoist Xuanzhen, everyone laughed. Since Taoist Xuanzhen made alchemy for the emperor, I don't know how many people pretended to be his disciples. Now they come to buy a dried fruit. They all want to fool people. Money!" Mao Ersheng recalled, "When the man saw us laughing, he became even angrier. He scolded us for not having eyes, dared to laugh at him, and told us to wait so that we could learn how powerful he is."

Being able to use the yamen to arrest people might really have something to do with Taoist Xuanzhen, so Du Xiaoyu asked Mao Ersheng to tell him what that person looked like, and then let him go back to the shop.

"In a while, I'll send someone to find Yuanqing and see what he can do."

That's the only way, Sima Jing has calmed down at this moment, "I'll go back to appease my mother, she doesn't know about this matter yet, if it can be resolved today, that's all, if not... always let her feel at ease."

Du Xiaoyu nodded, and the two went home separately.

In a gazebo in Ding's mansion, Ruan Yu was sitting listening to his servants report the news.

"Then Cheng Pei went to the dried fruit shop to buy fruit, but he really didn't want to give the money. Later, he got into a fight with the shopkeeper, his face was broken, so he went and asked his acquaintance in the yamen to arrest the shopkeeper."

Cheng Pei is the nephew of Daoist Xuanzhen, he has done many bad things because of his uncle's name, and some lower-level officials dare not provoke him, lest Taoist Xuanzhen say something unfavorable in front of the emperor, then Cheng Pei Gradually, he became more unscrupulous.

Ruan Yu smiled and glanced at Xueyan, the girl next to her, "You are quite capable. Seeing that kid is fascinated by you, I heard that you want to try the dried fruit from that store, so I went to buy it right away." .”

Xueyan bowed her body, "Serving Madam, slaves must do their best."

"Okay, okay." Ruan Yu stroked her palms, "It's over, even if I let you be my aunt, it's okay."

Xueyan trembled in fright, knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "I don't dare."

Ruan Yu let out a chuckle, "What are you afraid of, it's just a joke, get up."

Xueyan got up slowly with a pale face. She knew Madam's tricks. Since she married the master as his successor, all the former aunts have lost favor, and some of them were even driven away by the master. How dare she have This thought.

"Since everyone has been arrested, why should he suffer a little bit? You have to let this kid show off his prestige in front of you." Ruan Yu said casually, turning the jade bracelet on his wrist.

It was to make the shopkeeper suffer in prison. Xueyan knew that Madam hated the Li family, especially Madam Li, but she didn't know the reason.Last year, the old man was downgraded by two ranks, but both Li's father and son were promoted. The wife was naturally even more annoyed. This time, she was asked to get acquainted with Cheng Pei to set up a scheme.

Xueyan bowed her head in response.

"Wait, Yunxia, ​​bring the embroidered butterfly skirt from my room."

The other maid, Yunxia, ​​hurried to the bedroom, and soon came back with a bright dress in her hand.

"Take it and wear it." Ruan Yu signaled Yunxia to give the skirt to Xueyan.

Xueyan accepted it gratefully, and then withdrew.

But when Du Xiaoyu returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to send someone to the yamen to find Li Yuanqing. If he couldn't see anyone, he would try his best to spread the news to Li Yuanqing's ears. After all, Huang Lishu was arrested in the yamen. will become a big deal.

Because this incident is too coincidental, how could it have something to do with Daoist Xuanzhen?
She knew that Li Yuanqing and some officials were trying to get rid of Taoist Xuanzhen, and at this juncture, she didn't know if they would startle the snake.

Mrs. Zhao and Du Xian were also in a hurry. Opening a dried fruit shop could actually lead to lawsuits.

A few people have no other choice for the time being, they can only wait.

After a while, Li Qin came running over, saying that Li Yuanqing already knew about the matter and had handled it himself.

At night, the two came back, Zhao Dongzhi and Sima Jing were waiting at their house, but when they saw Huang Lishu, everyone showed angry expressions on their faces.

Zhao Dongzhi rushed forward, holding Huang Lishu's face, and said distressedly, "What's going on? Did they beat you? Yuan Qing, which bastard did it? Huh?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I just got punched a few times." Huang Lishu didn't dare to tell the truth because he was afraid that they would be worried. He was kicked twice on the back. If Li Yuanqing hadn't arrived in time, he didn't know how much he would have suffered.

Sima Jing also shed tears in distress.

Du Xian asked, "Obviously someone else didn't pay for the purchase, why did Li Shu get beaten instead? Is there any law for this? Yuan Qing, have you found out the matter?"

"My brother-in-law has been dealt with, and that man was also arrested." Huang Lishu hurriedly replied, "The money for the things has also been returned."

Zhao Dongzhi snorted, "If you want me to say, you should hit a few boards!"

Sima Jing intuitively felt that this matter was not easy, knowing that Li Yuanqing and his wife must have something to say, so she persuaded Zhao Dongzhi, saying that Huang Lishu also needs to rest now, and the three of them went home first.

Du Xian and his wife saw that they were also arrested, and they paid back the money. Naturally, they had nothing to say, and asked the kitchen to bring the food.

After dinner, Du Xiaoyu and Li Yuanqing went back to their room.

"I heard who is Taoist Xuanzhen?" She closed the door and asked, "Did you really catch him?"

"It's his nephew, you can't do it unless you arrest him." Li Yuanqing didn't want to scare the snake, but Huang Lishu wanted to persuade him to endure it for the time being, but he didn't expect Cheng Pei to be a mud that couldn't support the wall, and he didn't know what medicine he took wrong Not only did Huang Lishu get caught, but he had to take the risk of sneaking into the prison and beat him hard to vent his anger.

The other yamen servants knew that Huang Lishu was related to the Li family, so they wanted to take care of him more, but they saw Cheng Pei beating someone, so why not go up and take it down?
Then Cheng Pei was not afraid, he made a big noise in the cell, and he couldn't do without arrest.

Du Xiaoyu shook his head when he heard that, Cheng Pei seems to have a brain problem, no wonder he came to the fruit shop to make trouble, and besides, didn't he ask about it before making trouble?Wherever there are twenty shops in the capital, there are always one or two that are related to certain officials, and they dare to come here for free!

"However, isn't this a coincidence, why did I find the fruit shop opened by Li Shu?" She still had some doubts in her heart.

"It means he did a good job." Li Yuanqing laughed, "Don't be suspicious, I'll check it out."

But it was said that Cheng Pei was beaten, even though it was not a few times, it was so painful that he couldn't get out of bed. They got married with only one son, and Taoist Xuanzhen, since he entered the Taoist temple, naturally he would not marry and have children. It can only rely on his brother to fill in.After Cheng Chong gave birth to three more daughters in succession, he grew old and had a son. Naturally, he was so spoiled that he developed Cheng Pei's lawless temperament.

Seeing his son's butt being spanked blooming, Cheng Chong's wife burst into tears, Taoist Xuanzhen also rushed to his brother's house after hearing the news.

"You are doing business for the emperor now, and those people don't even think of you, let's see how they beat Pei'er!" Cheng was so full of anger, "It's just a few fruits. , It’s enough to give you the money, but you have to hit the board? It doesn’t give you any face at all.”

Daoist Xuanzhen's face turned red and turned white. He has always been cautious in doing things. Even if he gained the emperor's trust, he never dared to do anything beyond the rules, because he knew that these were not enough, so he whispered, "I told him not to be too serious. Zhang Yang, brother, I'm just an alchemist, not a first-rank official, what face can those people give me? Just hit him, and let him learn a lesson when he recovers from his injuries."

"You still think I'm your brother? Do you think I don't know? During the holidays, don't all the officials, big and small, come to your house? What are they doing to curry favor with you? Oh, now that you have some face, don't you?" To deal with my elder brother, that's all, that's all, you don't want to take care of it, and I won't force you, you are busy, so let's go."

Daoist Xuanzhen became anxious, "I didn't mean that, we only have two brothers, you and me, how could I not treat you as my elder brother?"

Cheng Pei listened on the bed for a while, and suddenly cried out, "The Li family deliberately punished me. I didn't know that the fruit shop was opened by a relative of the Li family. When you mentioned your name, uncle, the shopkeeper knew it. But he didn't say that he was the cousin of Mrs. Li's family. He deliberately said some nasty words to lure me into her hand. After I went to prison, I was taken down again. How could I be willing to be tricked by them? In the end, I was charged with a crime. It was the Li family who framed me, uncle, you have to decide for me!"

Daoist Xuanzhen was silent for a while, he is a smart man, he didn't know that some people in the court had disliked him for a long time, so they wanted to find an opportunity to deal with him, and asked after a while, "Are you talking blindly?" Made it up? When did the Li family have an enmity with you, and they want to punish you like this?"

"How would I know!" What Xue Yan said flashed in Cheng Pei's mind, "Then the Li family just wanted to get rid of the Immortal Dao Sect! Now beating me like this is just to make an example to my uncle!"

"What?" Daoist Xuanzhen stared, "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"Uncle, don't you remember the two disciples Yunkai and Yunyang?"

Daoist Xuanzhen remembered that incident, and said with a cold snort, "They asked for it themselves, if they want to break someone's Feng Shui, they have to bear the consequences!"

"Uncle, do you know which family's Feng Shui they broke?"

Daoist Xuanzhen really couldn't remember, those two disciples were not his own disciples, how many disciples there are under the Immortal Dao Sect, how can I remember.

"It's the feng shui in the house of Li Yuanqing, a doctor in the household department."

It turned out to be related to the Li family, Taoist Xuanzhen frowned.

"They put this account in the uncle's name. Didn't the uncle ask me not to make trouble? Actually, I have already restrained myself very much, but the Li family just won't let me go. They will hold on to this matter. Wasn't it intentionally made for uncle to see? Wasn't it killing chickens to scare monkeys?"

Cheng Pei's analysis made Taoist Xuanzhen fall into deep thought.
