Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

Chapter 5 "Romance of the West Chamber"

Because the matchmaker was in a bad mood, the ghost hunting was suspended for one night. At dawn, the matchmaker urged Tao Shuobai to go to the yamen.

After leaving the inn, there were still few pedestrians on the street, and there were already two yamen servants eating at the porridge shop opposite the yamen, and Tao Shuobai could hear them discussing the new governor who was about to be transferred from a long distance away.

"Our new Mr. Fu Yin is amazing. He is not yet 30 years old. He is the number one scholar in the criminal record and married the daughter of Wei Shang's family. It is said that the husband and wife are loving and harmonious, and others are envious!"

Someone sneered, but lowered his voice: "What kind of loving and harmonious husband and wife, I heard that Mr. Zhang Fuyin once lived in Pujiu Temple, and had another affair with a young lady who lived in the temple. Now Marrying the daughter of the Shangshu, even if he has the heart, he has no courage, so naturally the husband and wife will be loving and harmonious."

"As long as you know it in your heart, why bother to say it, be careful not to let it come out of your mouth." Someone kindly reminded that after all, when a governor takes office, many people want to ask where the governor is and what kind of behavior he has.Back then, Cui Yingying from Pujiu Temple attracted the traitor Sun Feihu because of her beauty, but fortunately General Baima rescued her, and everyone in Hezhong Mansion knew about it.It is also said that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the monks or servants in the temple will inevitably leak the wind, so that outsiders will know Zhang Sheng's role in it.Some people in Hezhong Mansion also knew that Zhang Sheng had lived in Pujiu Temple, at least the owner of Zhuangyuan Store, the second elder brother, knew the details of Zhang Sheng. When he heard the hometown and name of the new governor, he guessed who it was, so before The past at Pujiu Temple will inevitably be brought up and discussed.

At this time, a few yamen servants also came to have breakfast, they were all neighbors and knew each other well, so someone asked when the new governor would arrive, and they all wanted to see the real face of the governor.

The yamen servant was biting pancakes and drinking porridge, and when someone asked, he said, "We are waiting too, but we won't be able to see you today. Before entering the city, Mr. Fuyin heard that General Du was injured, so he turned to Xingzhen."

The matchmaker also heard this, and was anxious: "My lord, let's go to Xingzhen as well."

"...Well." In fact, Tao Shuobai didn't want to go, mainly because he didn't want to see Du Que again, and instinctively felt that meeting that person would be troublesome.

Although Tao Shuobai has magical powers and can travel thousands of miles a day, but the so-called do as the Romans do in the countryside, it is not easy to scare people in broad daylight, so he rented a carriage.When they arrived in Xingzhen, after a little inquiry, they found out that Zhang Sheng and his party had gone to the General's Mansion. After all, the General's Mansion was safer than a post station.It was already dusk, Tao Shuobai didn't find an inn, and went directly to the Earth Temple to settle down.

This land temple is not big. There is a room under the big pagoda tree, which is dedicated to the land god. There are incenses for worship, and it is very clean.There is no special host in the temple, everything is done spontaneously by the townspeople, so no one pays attention to Tao Shuo's grand arrival.

The sun has not yet completely set, and the matchmaker has also been ordered to show up, but her voice is not idle: "My lord, is there really a land lord?"

Tao Shuobai looked intently at the painted clay statue of Tu Tu, and Tu Tu, who was at home, immediately sensed it. Although he didn't know who it was, but the mana power oppressed him, thinking it was a wandering immortal.Land justice wants to come out to meet and receive him, but Tao Shuobai doesn't want to make trouble, so he doesn't need to come out through voice transmission to Land.As for the matchmaker's question, he didn't answer the matchmaker's question. Because of the matchmaker's personality, she was very restless when she didn't have any hostility in her heart.

The matchmaker didn't have to answer, knowing that he didn't want to talk, and didn't ask, but in fact, she was very eagerly looking forward to the dark in her heart.

At last the daylight faded and night fell.

The matchmaker came out of the copper coin and looked at Tao Shuobai questioningly: "Master?"

"You go." Zhang Sheng is just an ordinary person, and it is easy for Hong Niang to claim his life, so he will not follow.

The matchmaker turned into a red shadow and left immediately after receiving the favor.

Tao Shuobai had nothing to do, so he began to think whether it would be worthwhile to stay in the world for a few days to catch ghosts.According to Hong Niang's ability, if she can catch two or three white ghosts in one night, she will be counted as two, and she will get 2000 ghost coins in one night.A short-term stay costs 1000 Mingcoins per day, and there is still a balance.As for the number of white ghosts here, there is really no need to worry. There used to be troops stationed in Puguan. Although the Tang Dynasty was more stable than in previous years, there were frequent conflicts between big and small feudal towns. There are many ghosts lingering in the world.Now he catches one by one, and if he doesn't catch the rest, when the small world is completed, the lucky ones can reach the underworld, and the unlucky ones may disappear in smoke.Of course, this is not the case in the whole small world, these ghosts only exist around the odd matchmaker.

Suddenly his heart moved, the odd number was the matchmaker, but the matchmaker was in his hands now, as long as he didn't accept the matchmaker, it meant that the mission hadn't been completed yet.The number of days in the world during the mission is free!

Tao Shuobai was overjoyed, and decided to stay and catch all the ghosts here.

The matchmaker at the other end arrived at the General's Mansion, and felt uncomfortable as soon as she came. She didn't know what was in the General's Mansion. Although the yang energy in Tao Shuobai was different from that of Tao Shuobai, she didn't like it.It's just that the matchmaker is eager for revenge at the moment, and she can't bear it, so she ignores this and goes directly to where Zhang Sheng is.

Zhang Sheng and his wife settled in the Xikuan courtyard.

Wei Shangshu's daughter is called Wei Xue'e, she was raised up delicately, she couldn't stand the exhaustion of the long journey from Beijing, so she took a rest early.Although Zhang Sheng came to visit his former friends, he also valued his official position very much. He was going to take up the post early tomorrow morning, and now he was thinking about how to build his prestige all night.

When the matchmaker saw Zhang Sheng, her eyes turned red, her heart overflowed with hostility, she screamed "Zhang Sheng" and rushed forward.

Suddenly there was a scream like a ghost, Zhang Sheng knocked over the candlestick in shock, and the room went dark.I felt the wind gusts, the windows slapped, and the books on the table were blown to the ground. I vaguely saw a red figure rushing towards him, and then a bone-chilling hand grabbed his neck.Because there was no moonlight tonight, and the candles had been extinguished, Zhang Sheng could not see the face of the person opposite him clearly. Zhang Sheng only felt fear, and the chill on his neck spread all over his body. He didn't even have the courage to resist.

"Gong Lang?" Wei Xue'e, who was sleeping in the inner room, was awakened, and felt frightened when she heard the wind.

Zhang Sheng's real name is Zhang Gong, and his style name is Junrui. Nowadays, scholars will be called a certain student, while husband and wife are called a certain man and a lady.In the past at Pujiu Temple, Zhang Sheng and Yingying secretly agreed on the music for life, and they called each other like husband and wife, and Yingying also called Zhang Sheng Gonglang in the same way.

Hearing this title, Hong Niang was even more excited, and she threw Zhang Sheng out with a wave of her hand, and went towards Wei Xue'e.

"Ah—" Wei Xue'e vaguely saw a red figure flying towards her, and screamed out of fright.

Zhang Sheng was pinched so hard that he couldn't breathe, and was overly terrified. He was thrown against the wall and knocked his head, and passed out in an instant.But in the room next door, there was a servant girl who hurried over when she heard the commotion, and before she could even enter the door, she saw her own lady running away in a state of embarrassment with her coat on and her hair disheveled, shouting "ghost" while running, There was a gust of wind for no reason in the upper courtyard, and the faces of the servants turned pale with fright.

Where did the matchmaker put these people in her eyes, her hostility swept up the wind and threw away all the people who obstructed her eyes, and she only looked for Wei Xue'e.Seeing that so many people couldn't stop the ghost, Wei Xue'e panicked and ran towards the main courtyard, which was Du Que's residence. Now that Du Que was injured, the guards were tighter than before. Because of the large number of guards, Wei Xue'e subconsciously just ran.

"Help! There are ghosts! There are ghosts!" The soldiers were startled by Wei Xue'e's embarrassed appearance, and a dazed man ran into the yard, as if there was a ghost chasing after him.These people didn't see a ghost, but they felt a gust of wind chasing them, Wei Xue'e pushed open the door and stumbled into the room.

"The general is inside!" After hearing the news, Sun Ming, the deputy general, hurried over and led people over. What happened tonight was too strange. He was worried that those people would come up with other tricks to kill the general if they failed.

At this time Du Que was already awake.Although he was injured, he had developed the habit of vigilance early in his life in the army, and he would wake up at the slightest sign of trouble.Hearing the messy voices outside, he asked displeasedly, "What's going on?"

The cloudy wind that had been blowing to the door seemed to have been hit by something, and it collapsed in an instant, and everything was peaceful as if it was just a dream.

Tao Shuo, who was in the earth temple, felt something, and rushed to the general's mansion immediately, but saw the matchmaker curled up, her face full of pain, obviously injured.Tao Shuobai was really surprised, but he didn't care about anything else, so he took the matchmaker as copper coins, ordered her to heal her wounds, and left the general's mansion temporarily.
