Liaozhai Great Sage

This breath is... the saint in the capital.

Li Xiuyuan came to the gate of the palace at this moment and knocked on the door.

"Li Xiuyuan, Inspector of Yangzhou, is here today to pay a visit to Mr. Wang, Minister of Rites." He expressed his intention to the next person.

"Master Li, please wait a moment, I will inform the master right now." Seeing this, the servants did not dare to be careless, and hurried back to report.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the sky above the palace... Why is there a monster in the Wang family?

Chapter 752 The Grace of Avoiding Calamity

"Yangzhou Inspector Li Xiuyuan came to visit?"

Sitting in the study, Wang Taichang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, frowned when he heard the news.

Everyone knows that Li Xiuyuan above the imperial court is unpopular. Although he got the position of governor of Yangzhou because of his contribution to destroying the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin and the operation of the national teacher, he was too young to have Regardless of his identity and background, and offending Mr. Yang of Zhongshu Province, it can be said that whether this Li Xiuyuan can get a seventh-rank county magistrate and return home safely is a problem.

Wang Taichang believed that the magistrate and governor's position would be taken away the day Li Xiuyuan left the capital.

"If the master doesn't want to see you, I'll send that Li Xiuyuan away." The housekeeper said.

Wang Taichang said: "People look down on Li Xiuyuan because of his shallow background and too many political enemies, but after all, others are the governors who hold real power in a state. The business is very good, the army is strong, the faction is gradually formed, and his father-in-law is Fu Tianchou, the Minister of the Ministry of War, so it would be too offensive for someone to come to visit in person under such status."

"Ask him to come in, let the servants prepare for it, and greet guests in the lobby."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and decided to entertain this Li Xiuyuan.

After a while, under the guidance of a servant, Li Xiuyuan came to the palace.

Wang Taichang in the lobby looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was dressed in brocade robes, with extraordinary heroic appearance, and Li Xiuyuan with sword-browed eyes, walking steadily and vigorously, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This person is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men.

To be able to enter the imperial court at such an age as a scholar from a family of merchants, and stand side by side with the princes of Gungun, does not depend on luck and officialdom, but really has its own ability.

"My son was also born with a handsome appearance and extraordinary handsomeness, but if he was born stupid, if it weren't for this, he would definitely not be inferior to this Li Xiuyuan." Wang Taichang sighed in his heart. The silly son who played.

Put away the thoughts in his heart, he got up and stood up, and greeted him out.

"I take the liberty of visiting today, and please don't take offense if there are many disturbances." Li Xiuyuan cupped his hands and bowed.

"Master Li has a distinguished guest, how dare you call it an interruption." Wang Taichang smiled and signaled; "Master Li, please take a seat."

"Come here, serve tea to Mr. Li."

Immediately after Li Xiuyuan sat down, a maidservant brought tea, he said: "I thought Mr. Wang is not at the house today, but working in the Ministry of Rites. It seems that I am lucky today."

Wang Taichang heard Li Xiuyuan's implication, it was nothing more than that he had received him for too long, so he must have thought of rejecting him.

He avoided talking about it, and asked directly; "Master Li is not handling cases in the prefect's yamen today, why do you have time to come to this official's house as a guest? Is there any case that needs my assistance? Or is it that the official's house is also A demon who mixed in with the Wutong Sect?"

This is asking if Li Xiuyuan's visit today is good or evil?

Li Xiuyuan smiled, and picked up the teacup in his hand: "Just passing by, I'm going to pay a visit, I'm familiar with you, don't you think Mr. Wang welcomes you?"

"I heard that Mr. Li has been very busy recently. He first solved the case of Fang Shengyu's assassination, then led the six sects to arrest the Wutong sect demon, and then killed the big thief Shihu, and surrounded Ruyifang to crack the deal. The woman's case... In less than half a month, Mr. Li has done a lot of meritorious service, and his achievements are not small. He was rewarded with a jade belt from the official yesterday. If you wish, if a nobleman like Mr. Li visits the house, the official mansion will naturally be full of glory , how could you not welcome him? I'm afraid that the lack of hospitality will offend Mr. Li." Wang Taichang said.

The implication is that Li Xiuyuan is too good at making trouble, and my family can't tolerate a great god like you.

"Doesn't Mr. Wang find it strange that the wind direction above the court recently?" Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan said.

"I don't know what Lord Li is referring to..." Wang Taichang said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "The officials who impeached me on weekdays are not impeached anymore, only some low-level speech officials jumped out, the servants of the six departments, Mr. Zhongshu Shengwang, and the national teacher next to the dragon chair are very quiet. This is what it was before, but I can’t even imagine it.”

"Master Li has done a lot of meritorious service, how can the officials continue to impeach Mr. Li, Mr. Li is too worried." Wang Taichang said.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled; "No, it's not for this reason, but most of the adults who impeached me before are dead, and what appeared above the court was just a body cast by a spell. Only my father-in-law, Fu Tianchou, is left, and Mr. Wang, you haven’t been persecuted yet. Mr. Yang, the Secretary of the Central Committee, probably has noticed some clues. Otherwise, why didn’t you have such a good opportunity at the court meeting yesterday? Press me to death? Just beat it and accept it?"

"I don't understand Mr. Li's words." Wang Taichang frowned and said, "Is it true that Mr. Li has arrested many monsters from the Wutong Sect recently, and the pressure is a bit high? I suggest that Mr. Li should rest for a while." day."

"Lord Wang thinks I'm talking in my sleep?" Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Or is it that Lord Wang doesn't believe that there are monsters in the court?"

"I really believe in some harmful sorcery, but when you talk about monsters and ghosts..." Wang Taichang smiled and shook his head: "Master Li came to visit today to talk about this matter? If it's just like this, then Master Li may be the one today. It's going to be a big disappointment."

Li Xiuyuan said: "I would like to remind Mr. Wang to pay attention to his own safety. It is my kindness not to be murdered by those monsters in human skin above the court. After all, there are no officials in the court who have survived. How much, of course, if Mr. Wang doesn't believe it, I won't force Mr. Wang to believe it."

"But leaving this matter aside, doesn't Mr. Wang feel it? There is a monster in your house. Although there is no evil intention or malice, there is always a monster in your house. If Mr. Wang doesn't mind If the official is busy, can you take me around the mansion?"

"The arresters of the Six Doors have the ability to catch demons, and I have heard a little bit about it, but today Master Li seems to only bring a general with supernatural power and a few followers. Does Master Li also know the magic of exorcising ghosts and demons?" Wang Taichang He laughed, feeling that Li Xiu was far from being a serious official.

How can a serious official talk about ghosts and ghosts all day long.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Before I came here, I heard that the son of your mansion is born so stupid that he can't even tell the difference between a man and a woman, but there is such a thing."

"Everyone in the capital knows that children are not smart enough since they were young, but they are not considered stupid. Master Li's words are a bit too much." Wang Taichang said with a cold face.

It must be intolerable for anyone to say to their face that their child is stupid.

Although his son Wang Yuanfeng is really stupid.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang." Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I didn't laugh at Mr. Ling's thoughts, but I just wanted to ask Mr. Wang, don't you want to cure Mr. Ling's dementia?"

"Master Li has become a doctor again now?" Wang Taichang asked back: "My son has invited famous doctors all over the world since he was a child, and even the royal doctor in the palace has diagnosed my son's symptoms. They can't cure him. Could it be that Master Li has a solution?"

"Mr. Ling's stupidity is not a disease. In my opinion, it should be that the tricks have been blocked, so the intelligence is not obvious, like a pearl covered in dust, and dark clouds cover the moon." Li Xiuyuan said: "This symptom may be brought out from the mother's womb. It may also be the work of the evil spirit entrenched in your mansion, wouldn't Mr. Wang not want to try to solve this trouble for Young Master?"

These words reached Wang Taichang's heart.

Wang Yuanfeng's stupidity is his heart disease, he is just such a son, he can't even act like a man and woman, married a wife and he is still a perfect body, if this continues, the Wang family may become extinct.

"How sure is Mr. Li?" He hesitated for a moment and asked, but his tone was much respectful.

Those who were able to destroy Li Liangjin, King of the Nine Mountains, and encircle and suppress the demons of the Wutong Sect must have some skills. Now that he is an official in the same dynasty, it is impossible for him to visit his house and talk nonsense. Let's just believe this Li Xiuyuan once.

"It's not important, what's important is that this is an opportunity for Lord Wang, isn't it?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Wang Taichang's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly made up his mind, and immediately said: "Come here, go and bring my son Yuanfeng."

"No need, I think it's better to go directly to Mr. Ling, the evil spirit entrenched in your house also needs to be resolved, maybe this is the root cause of the problem?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Wang Taichang stood up and said: "Since that's the case, then this time, Lord Lao Li, please come here, Yuanfeng should be playing in the backyard at this moment."

"Lord Wang, you are being polite." Li Xiuyuan smiled.

With Wang Taichang personally leading the way, several people soon came to the backyard.

Just when he walked in, he saw a cloth ball flying towards Wang Taichang and hit Wang Taichang's face fiercely. He was so painful that he directly covered his nose and burst into tears.

"You scoundrel, even the old man dares to smash it." Wang Taichang angrily picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Wang Yuanfeng who was playing.
