Chapter 144: Retreat

Weicheng County, the family of the county magistrate Li.

Li Shuwen has been a little absent-minded these days, and seems to have a lot on his mind.

"I'm talking about the boss, what's wrong with you?" Xu Meihua couldn't bear it anymore and sat up from the bed. "For the past two days, you've been tossing and turning every night for half a night. What's wrong with you?"

Li Shuwen simply sat up and said, "Daughter-in-law, just the day before yesterday, that expert came to see me."

"Expert?" Xu Meihua's eyes widened, "That's the one..."

Li Shuwen nodded: "It's the one who predicted it for me."

"What is he looking for you for?" Xu Meihua suddenly became interested.

"He said..." Li Shuwen stood up, went to the door, opened the door and looked outside to make sure that no servants in the family were nearby. Then he came back and got into bed, and then lowered his voice, "He said he could help me replace the master.

Location."

Xu Meihua suddenly took a breath, and then swallowed: "He...really said that?"

Li Shuwen nodded.

"Do I want you to do something?" Although Xu Meihua is a woman from a small family, she has an online IQ. She has always known that pie in the sky cannot fall from the sky. If you want to gain something, you have to pay.

Li Shuwen nodded: "He said that someone will come over to thoroughly investigate the master's crime. Then he will ask me to provide evidence. Moreover, he will ask me to take care of the people's affairs and gain the people's approval..."

"Aren't you the one responsible for managing the yamen these years?" Xu Meihua breathed out, "Although I dare not say that I am completely innocent, I can still be considered conscientious and have never done anything harmful to the law. Therefore,

I think this is an opportunity.”

"I also think this is an opportunity." Li Shuwen nodded. He always felt that if he could be the county magistrate, he would definitely do better than Hu Dali. Unfortunately, he was unlucky back then. After winning the election, he got seriously ill and was delayed.

After passing the imperial examination, he got married and had children. Life at home was difficult, so he had to find a job. He did this for more than ten years.

"Then what are you still struggling with?" Xu Meihua smiled, "Since you are an expert, you must be clever. He has already said it, which means you have the ability and official fortune."

"What my wife said makes sense."

"Also, is that person the host of Three Truths Temple?"

"yes."

"Then you must stay close to Sanzhen Temple." Xu Meihua thought for a moment, "In this way, tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, my mother and I will go to Sanzhen Temple to burn incense and kneel down to worship Master Sanqing."

"Sure, but you must be sincere."

"Don't worry, I don't dare to go if I'm not sincere."

"Then there is the old lady."

"We are an old married couple, but husband, I never thought that one day, I could also be an official's wife..." Xu Meihua suddenly covered her mouth and giggled, "I never dreamed of it, haha...

"

"Don't worry, I will work hard, and maybe I can earn a life for you and my mother in the future." Li Shuwen's ambition, or ambition, was completely aroused.

"We don't insist on our orders. Just being the wife of the county magistrate is enough to make me cry..." Xu Meihua covered her mouth and was still happy, "When the time comes, everyone will have to give in to me."

The feeling of saluting makes me excited just thinking about it.”

"Then you have fun first." Li Shuwen simply stood up and put on his clothes, "I'm going to the study to sort out some things and record some of the things I know."

"Let's go tomorrow."

"I'm afraid I forgot. Besides, I can't fall asleep even if I lie down." Li Shuwen opened the door and went out.

Xu Meihua sighed, then got up and went to the kitchen to make supper herself. She had to go with her husband.

Hu Dali has been having a hard time these days. Why? Because Master Xuyun and Xuanmiao Sanren of Baolian Temple ran away, and they ran away with their money. When the other monks saw it, they also plundered the valuable things in the temple.

They also ran away one after another.

Some villagers who went to offer incense realized something was wrong and came to report the incident, because the other party had lit a lantern for the deceased at home and paid for the sesame oil for a year, but now, the lantern is gone.

As soon as Hu Dali heard this, he hurried to Baolian Temple. When he saw that scene, one word came to his mind: It's over.

He didn't care about what the people had been deceived, but he was worried about himself. Xuyun said that the people who opened the altar to pray for him on the first day of the new year were all ruined now. They were all lies.

The angry Magistrate Hu quickly sent people to search for Xu Yun and Xuan Miao.

But at this time, he finally believed what the master said before, so he didn't care anymore and hurried to the Three Truths Temple.

As soon as he heard that Hu Dali was coming, he immediately replied: "No see."

The little Taoist priest at the door responded directly to Hu Dali: "Master Hu, my temple master is in retreat."

"Ah?" Hu Dali's legs felt weak upon hearing this, "When can you come out?"

"It's hard to say. The long term is three to five years, and the short term is two or three days. It depends on the condition of the watcher." The little Taoist replied accurately.

Hu Dali swallowed his saliva: "Little fellow Taoist, please report to the master of the temple and let him meet me. I will agree to any conditions..." If it were in the past, he might have had the Three Truths Temple wiped out.

But now, he really doesn't dare, after all, he is afraid of death.

"This..." The unruly little Taoist priest was in a dilemma.

At this time, Xia Banshan walked up, looked at Hu Dali, and saluted hurriedly: "I have met Mr. Hu, but I didn't know that you were coming. I missed you from a distance, so please forgive me."

"Taoist Master Banshan." Hu Dali hurriedly returned the greeting, "I want to see the master of the temple."

"The master of the temple has gone into seclusion. This..." Xia Banshan was embarrassed upon hearing this, "Otherwise, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

When Hu Dali heard this, although he was a little dissatisfied, he nodded.

Xia Banshan took the person into a quiet room. After sitting down, he gestured: "Sir, please tell me if you have something to say."

Hu Dali repented and regretted not listening clearly. Now he wanted to ask how to resolve his bad luck. He didn't want to die.

"Master Hu." Xia Banshan sighed upon hearing this, "To be honest, people in our profession will not take the initiative to tell others' fortunes easily. Even if we really want to tell fortunes, we will basically do three hexagrams a day, and we will never dare to do more.

You have to pay hexagram money, which is called buying karma. Otherwise, if the secrets of heaven are revealed too much, you will be punished by heaven."

Hu Dali nodded hurriedly, he knew these rules.

"Because you are the descendant of Wenquxing and the parent official of this side, so my master will take the initiative to give you some advice, but you have not paid, so you have to use my master's life essence, essence, etc. in exchange for this cause and effect. In the end,

The result is five shortcomings and three shortcomings..."
