Chapter 43 Lu Li: What script is this?
"Fu?"
Hearing this, Lu Li didn't pay too much attention and fell asleep with the beauty in his arms.
After all, an official from the Ministry of Rites will send a letter of pardon early tomorrow morning, and he will naturally know about Dan Niang's life experience by then, so as not to spoil the fun by talking about her sad past.
Three poles in the sun.
Jinling City has restored its former prosperity.
Unfortunately, many people were in a hurry, as if some major changes had occurred at home.
The noble disciples who were originally dressed in bright clothes and wandering around Qinhuai all day long became low-key. Occasionally, I saw a few who were ordered by their father to pay a visit to the mansion of the powerful, and they were accompanied by a large number of guards.
"Everyone, things are going to change."
In the teahouse, some good people were sitting together, and among them, a well-informed person told half-truths and half-false rumors.
"After the curfew last night, a monster appeared in Beicheng. He first killed Mr. Li, the doctor of Jiangnan Gongyuan, and then killed all the soldiers and horses guards who came after hearing the news..."
"Only a few people survived in the end."
The man spoke vividly, with noses and eyes, and all kinds of details, as if he had experienced it himself.
The boy who was responsible for pouring tea was so fascinated that he forgot that he had any work to do.
The listeners sitting around didn't care, they were all immersed in the weird talk.
Someone asked: "I heard that nobles and officials have received news in advance that there are evil spirits causing trouble in the city and they should not travel at night. Why did Dr. Li insist on doing this?"
"Yes, last night when I was staying at the Jiaofang Secretary, I heard from the girls that there were many benefactors here tonight."
For a time, everyone started talking about it.
Dozens of eyes were fixed on the "Bai Xiaosheng" who was familiar with all the secrets of Jinling, hoping to get the answers they wanted from him.
"hey-hey."
With a sneer full of disdain, Bai Xiaosheng, who was dressed in Tsing Yi and dressed as a Confucian scholar, said solemnly: "You all don't know, Dr. Li is a dog-hate in Jiangnan Gongyuan, and he talks so much about benevolence, justice and morality.
The teachings of Confucius and Mencius are actually just idiots, but they also like to impress others."
"The Five Cities Military and Horse Department had already sent someone to tell him not to break the rules at night and to stay at home honestly, but he does not believe in evil."
"I stayed up late at night and went to prostitutes secretly. I said that scholars have great righteousness in their hearts. In addition, they are blessed by the luck of the court and are immune to all ghosts."
"As a result, as soon as he was carried out of the mansion by the father of the sedan chair and passed by an alley, he was killed by a ghost. Early this morning, the Li Mansion sent people to identify the body. It took a long time to identify Mr. Li."
"Guess what?"
This Bai Xiaosheng is a natural storyteller who actually knows how to break up a story.
When everyone showed curiosity and probing expressions on their faces, and spoke out words of encouragement, he took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Break at the waist, his face is distorted and colorless!"
Snap.
The sound of a porcelain cup falling onto the table and breaking into pieces was heard.
At the same time, the sound of gasping for air could be heard.
The speaker's cadence of narration, the instinctive fear of ghosts and gods, and the limitations of the times made the listeners feel terrified.
"What about the Beicheng Military and Horse Department?"
"I remember that it was a thousand-household camp. The leading general was a military officer. He often trains soldiers. He should get rid of those evil things that harm people's lives."
The teahouse was full of guests, and the boy serving the tea was naturally well-informed and had heard of Zuo Qianhu's reputation.
"Yes, have those ghosts been killed?"
"Is it possible to travel tonight?"
For some reason, everyone in the museum particularly trusted this Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi, and this man did not disappoint everyone. He flicked his folding fan and replied:
"Although the Beicheng Army and Horse Division was almost completely wiped out, the ghosts have been eliminated."
Hearing this, the tea boy breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pour tea for everyone. The Confucian scholar paused for a moment and said: "But the curfew still has to be observed. Without the blessing of luck, more and more ghosts will come to the city to look for it."
Food."
"Be careful if you bump into something dirty while having fun, it's a hundred ghosts walking in the night."
There was a long silence in the teahouse.
Then, there were whispers.
"How about running away, leaving Nanzhili and heading north to Yandu, which is the capital of the country and where the emperor is..."
"What are you thinking about? The two places are thousands of miles apart. God knows what you will encounter. You have been staying in Jinling and you don't know. The world has been in chaos for a long time. Not only are jackals, tigers and leopards running rampant, but there are also robbers everywhere."
"More than that, I heard that there are monsters and ghosts in the wilderness, and they only eat passers-by. If you ask me, it's better to stay in Jinling City, and those noble lords will find a way to solve it."
The waiter at the teahouse couldn't hold back and interrupted:
"Aren't there some temples that enshrine national teachers? They should be safe there."
After talking about what happened last night, the Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi who was drinking tea to soothe his throat spat out the tea with a pop. He looked at the guy who had just grown a little fine hair around his mouth and said with an incomprehensible expression:
"In my opinion, it is better to go to Dabaoen Temple to burn incense and ask the old monk who stayed there to pray for Taizu to take care of him."
After saying that, he stopped dwelling on this topic and shifted his attention: "As you know, there was another big event that happened last night, related to the Hou Lu family of Henan."
"The Tianshu Star shines brightly, it is suspected that the Star Lord descended to earth to save the people from the fire and water."
At the counter, the shopkeeper, who had been working on the abacus, finally took a break and listened attentively to the customers' stories.
Who in the world doesn’t know Lord Greedy Wolf Star?
The emperor and I paid special attention to it, and so did the folk vendors. It was in charge of life and death, merits and demerits, four seasons, time...
Lu Li had already expected that he would be discussed by others and did not pay too much attention to it. Moreover, he also knew that his father would not allow others to use this to make an issue and smear the Henan Hou family.
So, you don’t have to worry about being harmed by your reputation.
After sleeping until almost noon, Lu Li walked leisurely to the side hall of the mansion after bathing and changing clothes.
There, there was an official from the Ministry of Rites who had been waiting for a long time. Perhaps he had heard some rumors and couldn't help but look at Lu Li a few more times and thought to himself:
Just looking at his appearance, he is indeed a fairy.
Of course, he did not forget why he came here and presented the pardon letter with both hands.
Lu Li directly turned to the last page and saw that it was stamped with the seal of the Jinling Ministry of Rites. He felt quite satisfied. He chatted and laughed with the official of the Ministry of Rites before letting the butler see the guests off.
After the person walks away, he turns to the front.
The reason why he asked Dan Niang his name last night was because after entering Taoism, he became able to see people's luck.
My father is a super-grade Marquis, and his luck is purple with a slight reddish tint.
Dan Niang, on the other hand, is green with a hint of purple, so she obviously comes from a famous family, hence the question.
[In the third year of Zhongping, Fu Tianchou, Minister of the Ministry of War...his daughter Fu Qingfeng...]
"Fu Qingfeng?"
Lu Li was stunned. The Fu family was an indispensable character in "A Chinese Ghost Story: Human World".
So, what kind of expansion is this?
