The 20th of June, the star of door light shines high, the auspicious day of the zodiac for repairing the door and moving the earth.
On this day, the first ray of morning sunlight weakly penetrated from the horizon, a hint of coolness accompanied by the dawn descended to earth, summer morning is always invigorating, Zhu Pingan early with Liu Mu, Liu Dazhou three people out of the Marquis of Linhuai House, all the way to the Qin Tianjian Yamen.
The sun was rising, and the horses’ hooves were brisk.
Green grey courtyard, curved stone streets, mossy brick walls, open for business rouge and powder shop, people come and go breakfast shop ……
The morning of the capital city gradually woke up, and the leaves of the willow trees along the roads began to stretch under the morning sun.
When Zhu Pingan and the three of them arrived at the Chintian Supervisor, the Chintian Supervisor had not yet opened its doors at this time, so Zhu Pingan, Liu Mu, and Liu Dazhou ate a breakfast at a nearby breakfast shop.
The shop assistant with a white towel warmly welcomed them into the shop, and Zhu Pingan’s trio asked for three bowls of sweetened bean juice, a plate of small dishes, and a basket of doughnuts, and ate them at the roadside table.
A mouthful of doughnuts, a mouthful of small dishes, and a mouthful of bean juice, happiness exploded the moment they filled their stomachs.
Coincidentally, after having breakfast, only after leaving the shop with his front foot, he saw the Qin Tian Supervisor slowly open the gate with his back foot.
Liu Mu and Liu Dazhou were waiting outside, Zhu Pingan alone entered the Qin Tian Supervisor, registered and signed, and the gatekeeper led Zhu Pingan to see Zhang Siming.
“Immeasurable Heavenly Father, the poor Taoist counted on his fingers, the Scholar should be here.”Zhang Siming, who was as fat-headed as Maitreya Buddha and wore a grey and white Taoist robe, greeted him with a smile on his face, his fingers still pinching a magic seal.
Nonsense, today is the day of replacing the treasury door, I naturally have to come, Zhu Pingan slandered in his heart, his face was smiling as he took two steps quickly, arched his hand and said, “Oh, my humble servant has come to cause trouble for Senior Zhang again.”
“No trouble, no trouble, Scholar Lang sit down for a moment, when this official orders someone to pack up the magic weapon, this will go to Taicang.”Zhang treasurer smiled and shook his head.
“Thank you, Senior Zhang.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand and thanked him.
“What is so polite about Scholar Lang, this official has yet to thank Scholar Lang for his article ‘A Kneeling in Front of the Buddha for Three Thousand Years’ from the day before yesterday. When this article came out, it swept away the gloom of the Taoist sect, allowing us Taoist priests to raise our eyebrows. Stopping this article is better than the work of a thousand Taoist priests in preaching and teaching.”Zhang Siku waved his hand and said with a smile.
“Lord Zhang overpraised, Ping An is truly ashamed, Ping An has a few pounds, his own heart is still clear.”Zhu Pingan shook his head in a serious manner.
“Hehe, Scholar Lang don’t be modest, this is not something that this official is alone in saying, and it’s not just that, many people think that this piece of Scholar Lang’s ‘Three Thousand Years of Kneeling in Front of the Buddha’ is going to surpass Yuan Maozhong’s ‘Luo Shui Xuan Turtle Initial Offering of Rui’.”Zhang Siming looked at Zhu Pingan and said with a smile.
Err.
Not so much.
Zhu Pingan bitterly laughed and shook his head, Yuan Wei’s couplet was so popular that no one knew about it, and the horse’s arse was flattered to the peak.
“It’s really true, it’s just that there are several adults in the Hall of No Ease who have said so.”Zhang Simin smiled and gave Zhu Pingan another look.
But don’t.
Zhu Pingan shook his head as soon as he heard it.
Yuan Wei was an egotistical person who was already looking at himself in a bad light, if he heard this kind of statement when he returned from his border patrol, wouldn’t he be even more upset with himself.
He knows the history, Yuan Wei Qing word is a masterpiece, very favoured by the Jiajing Emperor, the speed of this buddy promotion is unprecedented, do not look at him now is only an attendant reader, within ten years, this buddy will be appointed Prince Shaobao, Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and then will be quickly into the Cabinet, and Li Chunfang, Yan Ne, Guo Park and others and called “Qing word prime minister”.”I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that.
By such a promising, narrow-minded people look at the eye, can not get through, is never a good thing.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Si ordered someone to pour a cup of tea for Zhu Pingan and asked him to wait for a few moments before going out and ordering someone to prepare the magic weapon.
After about two cups of tea, Zhang Siwei came in and said that the magic weapons had been prepared and were ready to leave for Taicang.
When Zhu Pingan went out with Zhang Siming, he saw the magic weapons prepared by Zhang Siming, the so-called magic weapons, that is, incense candles, paper money, vermilion sand, brushes, Taoist talismans, mahogany swords, bells, black dog’s blood, goat’s blood, cow’s blood, and other things.
In addition to Zhang Siming, there were two other Taoist priests from the Qin Tian Supervision Bureau who travelled to Taicang together, and these two priests were much more professional than the fat-headed Zhang Siming, who was immortal and professional. Listening to Zhang Simin’s introduction, these two Taoist priests are also officials of the Qin Tian Supervision Bureau, and they are the ninth grade of the Five Officials Supervisory Marquis, who are selected from famous Taoist monasteries as “talents”.
Zhang Simin took a carriage, while the other two Taoist priests sat in another carriage, looking at the magic weapons.
Zhu Pingan took Zhang Siming’s carriage and prepared to go out and ride again.
The carriage had just left the gate of the Qin Tian Supervisor, when Zhu Pingan saw the Blood Dripping Sword with more than twenty East Chamber Fans, each holding a horse waiting outside the gate.
The Blood Shedding Sword was expressionless, standing straight in front of the gate, dressed in a white uniform, wearing a black cloak, with a scarlet longsword hanging from his waist, and his waist plate was draped with the “East Chamber” waist plate.
Behind the East Chamber soldiers also wearing black cloak, divided into two rows, right hand pressed the waist sword, silent standing behind the blood dripping sword.
There is no sound, like a statue, exudes endless coldness.
A person’s name, a tree’s shadow.
Zhang Siming, who had been smiling all along, couldn’t hold the smile on his face when he saw Blood Dripping Sword and the other East Chamber soldiers.
All the people on the road who passed by here, all avoided from afar, did not dare to breathe, and passed by quickly around the bend.
Liu Mu and Liu Dazhou, who were waiting outside, were also scared, leading their horses across from them, not daring to look directly at the Blood Dripping Sword and other East Chamber people. They used to be in the village when, can not less heard of the East Chamber and the Brocade Guards of the murderous reputation, what eighteen tortures ah, what kill without blinking an eye, kill without breaking the law ah, and so on, and so on, can be said that the factory guards is to let the common people scared of the existence of Liu Mu, Liu Dazhu so are counted as bold, the general people stand that early pissed his trousers.
“Zhang Baifu morning, all officers morning ah.”Zhu Pingan got off the carriage and greeted the Blood Dripping Sword and the others.
“Good morning Your Excellency Zhu, I have come to wait for Your Excellency Zhu’s dispensation by the Holy Oracle, I will do everything at Your Excellency’s command, I will not dare to disobey.”Zhang Baifu arched his hand and smiled grimly as he reported back.
“At your lord’s command, I dare not disobey.”The two rows of East Factory soldiers droned in unison.
This morning, Emperor Jiajing had ordered Huang Jin to send a team of people at Zhu Pingan’s disposal, and Huang Jin had sent the Blood Dripping Sword.
Zhu Pingan was overjoyed at the words, there are people from the East Factory on the side of the deterrent, I can’t wait to do it, arched his hand to Zhang Baido and others, “Commanding dare not, today we also need to rely on Zhang Baido and all officers to assist.”
So a line of people, vast and powerful to Taicang and go.
