After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 8

He covered his sleeves and coughed lightly, trying to get away with it.

But Wei Guogong is unusually sober, and there is no sign of being foolishly poisoned by eating too much elixir for the time being, so how can he let a bastard slip away so easily.

The bastard is miserable.

The bastard was almost skinned by the old rabbit, but he promised repeatedly that he would bring Wei Guogong back with a jar of pear blossoms in vain, so Xie Tangru was able to escape from his father's hands alive.

The bastard touched his intact skin and decided to bully the poor Taoist Zhang who was at the bottom of the food chain in the mansion.

Zhang Daoshi squatted in the yard and counted ants.

He was so bored, whenever he wanted to leave the yard, there would be a maidservant of Taozi Liuyun who would return to the yard with a smile and gentleness.

He began to regret countless times why he went out of his mind and had dinner with Xie Tangru that day.

However, it is useless.

When he was regretting and confused, the beautiful maidservant extracted a lot of information from him that Xie Tangru wanted, and wiped out all the things that Daoist Zhang had wet the bed when he was a child and then left him to his master.

Daoist Zhang regretted it even more.

He knew how there could be any beautiful and kind women around Xie Tangru, they were all beautiful snakes!

Xie Tangru stood at the gate of Taoist Zhang's courtyard for a while before walking in.

According to Taoist Zhang, the booklet was passed down to him by his master, and he was warned not to show it to others.His master's name is Yuan Kong, he is quite free-wheeling, and he is always talking about it.

Although Taoist Zhang was adopted by his master since he was a child, he doesn't know much about his master.And after he became an adult, his master kicked him out, and the master and apprentice had almost no contact in these years.

Xie Tangru thought Taoist Zhang's master was really interesting.

He is obviously a Taoist priest, but his name looks like a monk.

As soon as Xie Tangru entered, Taoist Zhang hugged his thigh and cried.

"Master, when do you think I can go out?"

"The Taoist priest's words are wrong." Xie Tangru was surprised, "The Taoist priest is a guest of our Duke Wei's mansion, and our Duke Wei's mansion is not a vicious place. Is there anyone who can restrict the Taoist priest's freedom?"

"..." Zhang Daoshi almost didn't come up in one breath.

How could these princes and nobles be more shameless than him, a charlatan!It's really insulting!

Daoist Zhang clasped his hands together, tried to keep calm, and discussed with Xie Tangru in a friendly voice: "My lord, you see that it is useless for you to detain me. Why don't you let me go?"

Xie Tangru just looked at him with a smile.

There is a little depth in the eyes.

Daoist Zhang: "Your Majesty has always been kind-hearted, so why bother with me, an ordinary commoner?"

"I never knew that I was actually a kind-hearted person." Xie Tangru said, "The priest may have misunderstood me."

Taoist Zhang: "..."

Can you give me some idea of ​​a normal reaction to being touted?

He gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "If Master Shizi has any doubts that Xiaodao can answer, Xiaodao will definitely know everything."

Xie Tangru agreed after a moment of thought.

After all, Taoist Zhang himself is of no use to him, only the secrets in the booklet are what Xie Tangru really cares about.

In order to let Xie Tangru let him go, Taoist Zhang really told the whole story honestly.

The booklet belonged to Master Zhang Taoist. After his master gave him the booklet, he was driven away from the Taoist temple because the Taoist temple had no food and could not afford to support him.Taoist Zhang wandered all the way to the capital. He always thought that the things in the booklet were stories made up by his master. As a result, Taoist Zhang found that some major events matched the booklet.

Only then did Taoist Zhang realize what kind of treasure he was holding in his hand, and his eyes lit up immediately, thinking that he could be a national teacher, but before he could figure out which direction the palace gate opened, he was accused of wearing too much clothes. Get out the rags.

It just happened that Wei Guogong was wronged and invited Taoist priests to clean up in the mansion, so Taoist Zhang stayed in Wei Guogong's mansion, eating and drinking.

Basically his miserable crap.

Nothing to say.

The only information that Xie Tangru found valuable was that the booklet was written by Taoist Zhang's master.

Now we must "invite" everyone back home.

Leaving aside why the hidden guards were invited, Xie Tangru asked Daoist Zhang again that there was no drop left of the altar of pear blossoms last time, and after thinking about it, he planned to go to Li Mengshu's mansion to ask if there was any pear blossoms.

In order to prevent Wei Guogong from killing relatives righteously, it is very important to appease his father.

Li Mengshu was alone at the mansion, his mother and his younger sisters went out to burn incense, his father had been released as an official for several years and was not in Beijing.

Xie Tangru drank a cup of tea in Li Mengshu's study, moistened his throat, and asked: "I heard that the mansion has always kept a lot of fine wine, I wonder if there is any pear blossom white?"

"Why are you being so polite? My parents are not here." Li Mengshu said, "What kind of friendship do we have, just talk about it if you have something to say, why don't I give you a jar of wine if you want it?"

After finishing speaking, Li Mengshu hesitated slightly, "...But if you want other wines, it's fine, I really don't know if I have this Pear Blossom White at home." He ordered a young man beside him to go to the wine cellar to inquire.

"But Ah Ru, haven't you never liked drinking? Why did you suddenly think of asking me about Lihuabai?" Li Mengshu wondered.

"It's not me who wants to drink, but the old man." Xie Tangru propped his forehead lazily, "I took a jar of wine from him two days ago, but today I remembered to settle accounts with me, and insisted that I pay him a jar of wine. Where am I? The pear blossoms are white, and I can only ask you if you have them here."

"Master Wei Guo loves wine very much, wouldn't it be like killing his own son if you take his wine, Ah Ru?" Li Mengshu laughed.

Wei Guogong has been obsessed with the way of cultivating immortals for the past few years. Fasting is fine, wearing common clothes is fine, and daily self-cultivation is fine, but he must never stop drinking.

At this time, the old emperor was asked to intervene, and rumors spread wildly in the imperial capital. Many people speculated whether the old emperor planned to attack Wei Guogong's mansion. It was later discovered that the old emperor just thought that drinking was a special way of cultivating immortals. road.

"It's not just that?" Xie Tangru sighed, "Sooner or later, my father will sell me as a father and son for a sip of wine."

Li Mengshu just laughed and didn't take Xie Tangru's casual words seriously.If it weren't for the very good relationship between father and son, how could they get along like this.

While the two were talking, Li Mengshu's servant came back and reported that there was no more Lihuabai in the mansion.

Li Mengshu looked at Xie Tangru apologetically.

"Because I'm not good at drinking, I don't know about this. It's a waste of time to tell Ah Ru."

"It doesn't matter." Xie Tangru didn't care, anyway, the old man didn't say that he would need it in a few days, so it wouldn't be impossible for him to find it for three to five years. "But since you don't have any here, I don't need to ask other people's houses."

Several people who are familiar with Xie Tangru, such as Shang Qinghuai's family, don't drink alcohol, so they don't have any wine in their possession.The rest of them either didn't drink alcohol, or they didn't know Xie Tangru that well.

There is no need to ask again.

Li Mengshu thought for a while and said: "Actually, there may be Lihuabai in the residence of several princes. A few years ago, the governor of Nanzhou went to Beijing and offered three hundred altars of Lihuabai. The palace kept a hundred altars for itself, and the rest were rewarded by His Majesty." It was given to a few princes. His Royal Highness Cheng Wang won a hundred altars because of his meritorious service, and he is not in the capital, so those pear blossoms should all be in the mansion."

"After a while His Royal Highness King Cheng will return to the capital. I will discuss with Qing Huai, how about going to the door to ask for a jar of Pear Blossom White?"

"Don't bother you." Xie Tangru didn't want to get involved with King Cheng.

What's more, he planned to kill Cheng Wang.

If it succeeds, Chengwang people will be gone, so why talk about Lihuabai.

"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang has never had friendship with us, so it is not good to speak rashly." Xie Tangru said lightly, "If I have time, I will go to the residence of the First Prince and the Third Prince to ask."

Li Mengshu looked at him and nodded.

"Then listen to you."

Xie Tangru sat for a while, chatted a few words and returned to Duke Wei's mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, a guard came over: "When my son was going out, someone came to visit and said that he had a relationship with him at Xianxian Tower .”

"The slave thinks that he should be the person you specially ordered, so let him wait in the mansion for a while."

Xie Tangru smiled, because the gloom caused by "Pear Blossom White" dissipated, and his mood immediately improved.

"Where is the man? Take me to see him."

The author has something to say: Because the last chapter was too short, I added a new chapter. Anyway, the manuscript box has bottomed out.
