After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 4

Xie Tangru rolled up his sleeves and Shi Shiran walked over.

Wei Guogong raised his eyelids and jumped up to beat the hapless son violently.

"It's nothing to tell you to arrange your father and me."

Xie Tang managed to avoid it.

If it weren't for his father's age, maybe he would be chased and beaten out of the three streets by the old man today.

He dodged Wei Guogong and punched him in the face, shouting: "If you hit me again, your elbow will be gone!"

The fist wind stopped in front of him.

Wei Guogong looked around: "Go down."

He rubbed his hands after the boys were gone, "From Yanxian Tower?"

Xie Tangru nodded and handed him the food box.

"Hey! It's still delicious! Those poor Taoist priests told me to eat the morning dew from flowers every day. If I eat that thing, the gods will starve to death!"

Wei Guogong lifted the lid of the food box, and his eyes lit up when he saw the elbow drenched in sauce.

"If you eat less of those things, you might live a few more years."

Xie Tangru said.

Wei Guogong gave him a white look, "Be safe, you little bastard, I'm sure I can live for decades."

As soon as he counted his unfilial sons, Wei Guogong's voice was a bit louder: "Look at your own virtue, you can forget about fooling around all day long, and you are thinking about doing some dubious things all day long! I have worked hard for you, old man!" It's been hard to live until today, if you are implicated and killed the nine clans..."

Xie Tangru answered immediately: "Don't worry, old man, if there is such a day, then I will definitely not be your son, and Zhu Jiuzu will definitely not be your turn."

"It's not my turn, who do you want it to be?" Wei Guogong gnawed a mouthful of soy sauce elbow, and shouted at Xie Tangru, "Unworthy descendants!"

Xie Tangru: "..."

Xie Tangru felt that his father was getting more and more unreasonable.

He was silent: "Go ahead and eat."

After speaking, before Wei Guogong scolded him, he walked away and disappeared into the garden in two or three steps.

Wei Guogong took another bite of the sauced elbow, and cursed: "Little bastard."

The little brat didn't hear his father scolding him, so the little brat went back to his room, and the little brat started to listen to the dark guard's report.

"Master, that man passed through Xizhi Gate and went to Chengnanfang, where he got lost."

It's about the person who picked up Xie Tangru's jade pendant today.

Xie Tangru said "Mmm", but was not surprised by the result.

That man was born in the army, and his skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people.He knew in his heart how capable his subordinates were, and it was not bad to be able to follow such a journey.

But since he lost his track, it proved that the identity of the other party was indeed unusual.

Xie Tangru was thinking a little casually.What will that person be?Whose person is it?

Entering Beijing at this time of year seems like he was born in the army. Could it be the fourth prince, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang?

He thought about it, and felt that this might not be small.

His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is so annoying, but the people under him are good and worthy of use.

"Continue to make people pay attention to the movements of outsiders from Beijing and China." Xie Tangru tapped on his knees, and added, "Also, if you find out about the movements of that person today, please report to me in time."

"Yes."

"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang turned back from the border, and the guard of honor should have arrived in Chongzhou after a few days." He said such a sentence suddenly without beginning or end.

The subordinates have not yet understood what he meant, Xie Tangru continued to ask.

"Where are our people?"

"Returning to the son, I will soon arrive in Chongzhou."

Xie Tangru pondered for a moment, "Stand still for now. Chongzhou is not far from the imperial capital, someone should be more anxious than us."

The imperial capital is in turmoil, the prince's faction is in a stalemate, and everyone wants the supreme position in the emperor's palace.But at this time, a direct brother holding military power is the biggest enemy of the princes.

"If you haven't received the news in the future, let our people... give it a push."

There was a faint smile on his lips.

The subordinate's heart skipped a beat: "...Yes."

Xie Tangru felt much better after drawing up the plan for King Cheng, while thinking about dozens of ways for him to die, such as being shot to death by random arrows, falling to death on a horse, being poisoned to death, dying of serious injuries, choking to death after eating, etc. , while continuing to shed two crocodile tears for the dead old emperor.

——Why doesn't the old emperor die a few days later, and wait for the situation to become more chaotic, so that he can fish out of troubled waters.

Xie Tangru was quite a pity.

Thinking about it this way, I felt really sad.

However, what made him even more sad was that his father made the kitchen ban his dinner.The reason is that Wei Guogong swallowed the plate of sauced elbow offered by his unfilial son.

Wei Guogong: An unfilial son can be punished!

Xie Tangru: "..."

In this way, his dinner was gone.

Even in order to punish him as a rebellious son, his father gave half a day off to the chef who was in charge of the kitchen, and asked someone to lock the kitchen.

Xie Tangru quietly asked his guard: "Am I actually the son of his enemy?"

"Don't think so." The guard choked out, "Maybe you are the reincarnation of his enemy."

"..." Xie Tangru felt that the guard might be his father's undercover agent.

But we still have to eat.

There is no food in the kitchen, but there are other places.His father raised a group of Taoist priests and discussed the Tao of longevity with people every day, so it was impossible to starve his guests.

Xie Tangru walked through two hanging flower doors and entered a courtyard in the south.A Taoist priest raised by his father lived in this yard, but he didn't know the exact name.

So they all call them "Taoist", and there will be no mistakes.

Daochang is over half a century old, with a fairy air, and a beard, which may be more than hair.

The Taoist priest lives alone.

The priest is eating.

Xie Tangru glanced at it, and there were Eight Treasure Duck, Minced Chicken with Golden Shredded Bamboo Shoots and three or four refreshing and light side dishes on the table.

Seeing him coming, the Taoist priest hurriedly stood up to greet him: "My son is here today, what do you want?"

At the same time, I muttered in my heart, the son of Wei Guogong has always been honest with them Taoist priests, and he made a sudden visit today-either adultery or robbery!

Xie Tangru said: "Recently, I came across an incident that really puzzled me, so I came here to ask the Taoist priest for advice, hoping that the Taoist priest can clarify my doubts for me."

Hearing this, the Taoist felt relieved, stroked his beard and said, "It's common for people to have confusion in this world. You don't have to worry too much. I don't know if you have eaten dinner. Why don't you sit down and enjoy it with the poor Taoist?" Some meals, and talk to Pindao about the confusion of the son?"

This is exactly what Xie Tangru wanted.

Pretending to be reserved, Shi Shiran said "um", sat down, and took a few mouthfuls of food "unfortunately", Xie Tangru suddenly put down his chopsticks and said: "Master, how can such a delicious meal be accompanied by fine wine. "

Taoist: "What the son said is very true, but unfortunately I don't have good wine here."

"What the Taoist priest said is wrong." Xie Tangru said with a smile, "Could it be that my father can treat the Taoist priest with a pot of good wine?"

Then he ordered the maidservant: "The Taoist priest ordered you to go to the Duke's office to fetch a jar of pear blossoms in vain."

Taoist priest:"…………"

But before he could say anything, the maidservant had already taken orders.

"Pear Blossom White" is a kind of strong wine from the south. It is famous for its pear blossom aroma and light color, and is quite popular with dignitaries.It's a pity that this wine is difficult to brew, and there is no market for the price. Wei Guogong managed to get a few jars, and he was reluctant to drink more, so he only drank a small cup occasionally.

To put it simply, Xie Tangru is his father's baby.

Not long after, the maidservant came back with a jar of wine, pursed her lips and smiled: "The Duke is not in the mansion, so the steward decided to hand over this jar of wine to the servant girl. I heard that it is the last jar of wine. Thankfully, the servant girl went there in time." Woolen cloth."

Xie Tangru bent his lips, and picked up shredded bamboo shoots with his chopsticks.

Of course he knew that his father was not in the mansion.What he wants is that the old man is not in the mansion.

The pear blossoms are gone, and now the old man is pissed off when he comes back.

After eating the food and wine, the Taoist priest was already three points drunk, and said to Xie Tangru with the remaining consciousness: "Your Majesty hasn't said what worries you have, do you need a poor way to relieve your worries?"

"I'm going to forget about it if the Taoist priest doesn't mention it." Xie Tangru played with the wine bottle, "I heard that the Taoist priest has always been very clever, I don't know if the Taoist priest can figure out my confusion?"

After a meal, Xie Tangru figured out the identity of this Taoist priest.His surname is Zhang, and he has been a monk since he was a child. He was originally a serious Taoist priest.It's a pity that his master died later, and the Taoist temple was defeated. Taoist Zhang came out and became a gangster. , was recruited by his father.Daoist Zhang originally wanted to travel around, but was finally moved by Wei Guogong's sincerity to Taoism, so he stayed.

——He is a liar, seeing that Wei Guogong looks like he has been taken advantage of, so he stays here to cheat food and drink with peace of mind.

Xie Shizi summed it up like this.

After hearing Xie Tangru's words, Zhang Daoshi thought to himself, how could I know what confusion you, the unlucky son, have?

But he is the son of the world, so he can't say that.

Daoist Zhang rolled his eyes, he knew Mu Shaoai's age, a person who was well-clothed and well-fed, rich and noble, and was troubled, after all, that's all there was to it.

He tentatively asked: "Do you have someone in your heart?"

The Taoist's words caused him to be slightly taken aback, and then he clapped his hands and laughed: "That's right, there is indeed someone in my heart."

"Call me sleepless."

His tone was meaningful.

Daoist Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, Mr. Rich and Noble, what troubles you can have is nothing more than just love, young men and women.But he was a little puzzled in his heart, the word "difficulty sleeping and eating" didn't seem to be referring to his sweetheart.

But Taoist Zhang was too drunk to think about it, and the strangeness was ignored like a superficial drop. His mind was in a daze, and he opened his mouth: "Since it is a person who makes the world sleep and eat, you can either break it or break it." , leaving no future troubles, or get this person completely."

He said "hehe" and smiled: "With the demeanor of the son, whoever you want is easy to grab, why worry so much?"

Xie Tangru groaned slightly, agreeing with the Taoist's words.

"The Taoist priest is right."

The author has something to say: chickens talk to ducks.
