Be a national teacher in Liaozhai Fanwen

"Is this the bewitching demon fox?"

In the side hall of Zhuo Ling Pavilion, a Taoist in green shirt with a slightly fat body and two small mustaches looked at the scarecrow wrapped in fox fur in front of him, and looked at Ruan Tao in front of him with a teacup in his face with disdain.

It's almost like writing the words "you think I'm a fool" written on my face.

This person is Mao Yi, the head of Zhuoling Pavilion in Shangjun.

Zhangshang County Zhuoling Pavilion internal and external affairs, and is responsible for sorting out the files of Zhuoling Pavilion. Every month, the big and small things recorded in these files should be sorted out and summarized to the Chinese teacher in Beijing.

Most of these dossiers record the refining of elixir by local monks.

A small part records some cases about ghosts and gods from folk newspapers handled by Zhuolingge. These files are usually reported in triplicate in Beijing, one for Zhuolingge, one for the Ministry of Justice, and one for Dali Temple.

The fact that there are few files in this part is not because there are few people who report the case, but it is because Zhuoling Pavilions in various places mainly focus on alchemy.

However, it can be less, but it cannot be absent. For example, most of the folk reports are picked one or two every month or every three months for show.

Because the original intention of Zhuo Ling Pavilion was to refine the elixir of immortality for His Majesty, and the second was to solve the affairs of ghosts and gods for the common people. Both are the duties of Zhuo Ling Pavilion, and one is indispensable.

If you only care about alchemy and don't report any cases, it won't work!

Many officials in the court were opposed to the establishment of Zhuo Ling Pavilion. If the king and the national teacher hadn't dealt with it, they would probably be scattered in the rivers and lakes at this time, eating the same bowl of rice with the storyteller under the bridge that day.

How could there be such an opportunity to wear black yarn and a fish bag like today?

Therefore, everyone in the pavilion cherishes this hard-won opportunity very much. They all understand that at this time they are members of the local officials of Daqin, and if they don't show some actual "political achievements", they may not be able to stop the court from top to bottom. A leisurely mouth will also make it difficult for the national teacher.

Moreover, their majesty's attitude towards alchemists can be seen from the hundreds of alchemists who were killed before.

The eldest son who was so respected was relegated to the frontier of Shangjun because of those people's pleading, doesn't that explain the problem?

Among the many officials in the Great Qin Dynasty, the black yarn on their heads is the most unstable!

Therefore, although they will be perfunctory about civil cases, they will never report them perfunctorily.

People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Dali Temple are not working hard, so you want to fool them?

What's more, the eyes of those people at Yushitai were almost on Zhuo Lingge!It's just because Zhuo Ling Pavilion can't compare with their serious "yamen", and it can't compare with Long Jinwei who is close to His Majesty.

Therefore, when many people in Yushitai are afraid of offending the forces in the court and have to show their political achievements, they like to arrest Zhuo Lingge for impeachment!

Today, the impeachment of Zhuo Lingge is already one of Yushitai's "customs"!

The Ministry of Rites reported to the Ministry of Households last month that the use of money was inappropriate, impeach Zhuo Lingge!The Minister of the Ministry of Officials suspected of accepting bribes, impeached Zhuo Lingge!A concubine in Dali Temple Qing's family died for no reason, but she never reported to the official, and impeached Zhuo Lingge!

At this time, if they themselves take the initiative to hand over the handle to others, will they not be uprooted directly? !

Therefore, in the face of Ruan Tao's foolishness, Mao Yi wants him to go back and forth now!

It's okay to be a little perfunctory in alchemy, after all, the elixir depends on the treasures of heaven and earth, and it depends on chance to find the treasures of heaven and earth, so the inability to improve the progress of alchemy can be explained as the lack of God's will.

But this civil case has to be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple!How can you be sloppy? !

Mao Yi took a sip of the black jujube tea in the cup, smacked his lips lightly, and his two mustaches moved as he spoke: "I know Ji Zhen, you were recommended by the eldest son, and you are from a famous family. , is different from the group of reckless people in our pavilion."

"You can have as much fun as you want, even if we play Zhuoling Pavilion in Shangjun in the end, you can retreat completely and go back to be the young master of your Ruan family. But you have to be considerate and considerate that we can only eat this bowl of rice people!"

As he said that, he put down the teacup in his hand and looked coldly at Ruan Tao in front of him: "At first you said that you didn't want to make alchemy, and you couldn't bear the boring and hard work of alchemy. As long as you only need to deal with external affairs, I have nothing to say. But if you don't want to do it, why do you have to be so perfunctory? What? Is the Ruan family still short of your monthly salary?"

"Tsk!" Ruan Tao put the teacup in his hand on the table next to him, and said with a sad face, "How can I take what the director said? I also set up a stall under the city gate tower and stood up The scorching sun and the rain! Naturally, I know the hardships of our profession, so it is a great honor to be able to enter Zhuoling Pavilion."

Ruan Tao's accent was full: "At the beginning, the eldest son was kind enough to invite me into the Zhuo Ling Pavilion. The reason why I said I don't make alchemy is because I know how much I am. What can I make? How can it be compared with the seniors in the pavilion? So I thought, I came in to help the seniors deal with foreign affairs, and let the seniors concentrate on refining the elixir of immortality for your majesty. Salary."

Mao Yi raised his eyebrows indiscriminately, and felt that although the boy's words were evasive, they had reached his heart.

At the beginning, the eldest son recommended this guy, saying that in the future, this guy doesn't need to make alchemy, but just help the cabinet with foreign affairs. ,

Originally, they were actually Eunuch Zhao's subordinates. Of course, the elder son refused to put such a person in such a cold, but when he heard that this kid came in and was not willing to do alchemy and only deal with the foreign affairs of the cabinet, he was willing for him to stay.

It's just because, whoever comes to the pavilion doesn't want to practice the "Pill of Immortality" and turn into a phoenix once it jumps on a branch?

Even if you can't make alchemy, but you can get a salary if you can sit in the alchemy room, who wants to run around outside?Not to mention tiredness, they don't know the strength of those ghosts, what should they do if they encounter a difficult problem and put themselves in it?

Of course, running foreign affairs also has the advantage of running foreign affairs, that is, you will also have a record of "political achievements" like ordinary government officials, and you will have the opportunity to be promoted.

It's just that their Zhuoling Pavilion is different from other government offices. It is basically a carrot and a hole. As long as the people above do not make mistakes, they will always stay above you. There is no such thing as "transfer".

Just like the national teacher, as long as he doesn't go crazy and assassinate His Majesty one day, he will always be the national teacher of Daqin.

Therefore, just because of such a slim chance of promotion, people go to foreign affairs like a donkey. Naturally, no one is willing to do it. This makes the people below him push three obstacles and four hundred reluctantly every time he sends people to foreign affairs.

Good day!The donkey who voluntarily pulls the mill is delivered to the door. No matter which faction he is, can he have any reason to do what he wants to do?

Even though this person has an exquisite heart, he is still just a child who has not yet reached the crown. He has spent half his life in the rivers and lakes, and now he is sitting in the position of the head of the Zhuoling Pavilion in Shangjun. Is he afraid that he will not be able to suppress a teenage child?

Ruan Tao saw the complacent look on the other side, so he knew that what he said made the other party very satisfied.

So he continued: "Besides, I didn't go alone today, but with Mr. Du Fudu from Zhao's Mansion. The two of us searched there for half a day, and only saw a few of them got spiritual wisdom." The sparrow, and the one related to the fox is this laoshizi."

Hearing this, Mao Yi did not forget to sneer: "When you go out, you don't take the brothers in the pavilion with you. Instead, you go with the disciples of the Zhao family. Even though you were recommended by the eldest son, you still have to know how to avoid suspicion. I don't know that." I thought you were the eldest son's retainer."

Then he pointed at the scarecrow with the fox fur tied on the ground in distaste: "The people reported that there was a fox spit out words to deceive people. Do you think this thing spit out people's words?"

As he said that, he gave Ruan Tao a sullen look: "More than one person heard that, if you want to use all the tricks like this, it would be too much of a joke."

Seeing this, Ruan Tao knew what the fox said, and the old fox in front of him must have known it, and the other party knew it earlier than him.

Such rebellious words were known but never reported, nor did they send people to investigate early, obviously just waiting for things to become big.

Ruan Tao said seriously: "Mr. Du and I ran into an old man when we walked to the foot of the mountain. We all know what those words are, and we really don't dare to say them."

"At that time, the two of us were so scared that we carefully turned over the top of the mountain several times. The only thing related to the fox is this Lao Shizi."

"Ruan Tao!" Mao Yi put on airs and said earnestly, "Although it is true that all things have animism, but you said that you handed this thing over to Beijing to tell the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple that it has become a spirit, and you said they would Don't you think Zhuo Lingge treats them as fools?"

"But, Mr. Du and I have searched the mountains for so long, and this is indeed the thing related to foxes!" Ruan Tao refused to let go, "If you don't believe me, why don't you go search the mountains yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Mao Yi pretended to be angry and said, "What kind of childish talk are you talking about? Of course you have to do well what is entrusted to you! If you can't do it well, let the people above wipe your ass? Then why don't you say Let the national teacher come to search the mountain in person?"

"Don't worry, just listen to me carefully." Ruan Tao apologized with a smile.

He looks good, and he smiles like a flower, no matter what, he can't be hated.

Mao Yi glanced at him coolly, beckoning him to continue talking.

"The old man said he heard the fox talking, and there was not only one person nearby who heard it, which means it's true!" Ruan Tao said.

Mao Yi nodded, motioning for him to continue talking.

"It's just that I searched the mountain carefully, and there is indeed only one thing related to the fox. I guess it's because the sparrows in the mountain are too stubborn and often like to spread clouds in the mountain to cover the fog. The villagers were dazzled by the fog, so they took the scarecrow wrapped in fox fur as a fox." Ruan Tao explained.

The corner of Mao Yi's mouth twitched into a mocking smile: "Then how do you explain the fox talking?"

"That's exactly what I want to tell you!" Ruan Tao jumped up!

Mao Yi was startled by the sudden noise.

I saw Ruan Tao came forward, lowered his voice and said seriously: "This is neither a monster disaster, but man-made. Someone followed the cloud and mists, you used this scarecrow wrapped in fox fur as a fake demon fox to deliberately spread those rebellious rumors." Word."

Mao Yi stared at the beautiful young man in front of him for a while, and then said: "You mean this is not a rebellion by fox demons, but someone deliberately caused rebellion?"

Ruan Tao nodded: "The things are here, and they are the craftsmanship of Jingzhong Qingguanglou."

The two looked at each other, and they only saw Qingming from the bottom of each other's eyes.

Of course Mao Yi knew that Ruan Tao was lying. He had been in the rivers and lakes for nearly 20 years for nothing. If he couldn't even see Ruan Tao's little tricks, then he could abdicate and make way for the virtuous.

Ruan Tao naturally knew that he couldn't deceive Mao Yi, and he didn't intend to deceive the other party, but he used this to give the other party a chance to pretend to be blind.

"Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng."

If such rebellious words are spread back to the capital, I don't know what kind of storm will be stirred up. If these words come from a fox, then Zhuoling Pavilion will naturally become a place where "immortals" fight their skills.

As the saying goes, gods fight and mortals suffer, no matter which side you belong to, you may be affected in the end.

However, if this incident was not caused by a demon fox, but directly revealed to be a man-made disaster, then Zhuo Linge would have nothing to do with them.

Mao Yi stretched out his hand to stroke his mustache, and then laughed loudly: "So that's it! So it's this old man!"

Seeing this, Ruan Tao also laughed in cooperation with the other party: "Isn't that the thing?!"

"Then... this matter has nothing to do with our Zhuo Ling Pavilion! This is a matter of the yamen, and it has to be handed over to Taishou Wu!" Mao Yi pretended to be thoughtful.

"Yes yes yes! This is the matter of the prefect Wu." Ruan Tao echoed.

"Then why don't you give this thing to Taishou Wu! By the way, tell him about the situation in detail. Although it has nothing to do with us, Zhuoling Pavilion and the Yamen have always cooperated with each other. You should cooperate with their investigation." Mao Yi picked up the teacup again, blew on it gently, and brought it to his mouth.

"Okay! I'll go tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? If not, let's go now." Mao Yi said, "For such a big event, naturally, the sooner the better."

Ruan Tao looked at the sky outside, then took out a watch from his pocket, pointed the dial at Mao Yi, and said with a smile, "But I've put it away now."

"Tsk!" Mao Yi frowned, with a look of disapproval, "Why are you young people so unconscious? The errands have to clock the clock every day when they go to the office? What do you think about this?" If it is not handed over to the yamen this morning, if it is delayed, it will be in your hands!"

Hearing this, Ruan Tao took a deep breath, his teeth were sour, and his eyes were already rolling to the sky!

However, Mao Yi's words in the next second made him instantly excited.

"Let me find out for you."

Mao Yi said slowly: "Because of the catastrophe that the eldest son suffered a few days ago, Eunuch Zhao wrote a letter to His Majesty. His Majesty was worried about the comfort of the eldest son, so he specially sent the national teacher here."

"National teacher?!" Ruan Tao was shocked.

He has always known that the existence of Daqin Youguoshi is the very familiar "Father of Japan"-Xu Fu.

However, in the "book", he did not lead boys and girls to the east, but sat in the Zhuoling Pavilion and devoted himself to refining the elixir for His Majesty. Because of the existence of Zhuoling Pavilion, the status of this great master is also higher than before several times!

However, almost no one has seen his true face.

Based on Zigong, Ruan Ji, and Ji Kang's contacts in Beijing, no one they know has ever seen this great master!

He even asked Kong Ming, Li Taibai, Du Zimei, even the eldest son Fusu, and Wang Mang who founded Zhuoling Pavilion back then, but none of them had fully seen the appearance of this great master!

It is said that the other party always wears a hood to look at people. Some say that he is practicing some weird exercises, and some say that the national teacher is ugly and self-prepared. In short, no one knows what he looks like.

Because no one knows his appearance, this makes this national teacher who is unprecedented in the Great Qin Dynasty even more mysterious.

Shangjun is just a border city, and now it already has a young master, several princesses, and a prime minister!

Now, a national teacher is coming? !

This place is really a "feng shui treasure land"!Ruan Tao teased contemptuously in his heart.

"However, this matter is only known to us in Shangjun. The national teacher's itinerary must not be disclosed to anyone. The national teacher will enter the city tomorrow. When the time comes, you and I, as members of Zhuo Lingge, have to go to meet his old man." Mao Yi said seriously.

Greeting the national teacher can be said to be their top priority in Zhuoling Pavilion in Shangjun!

The national teacher is a heaven and a man!

Being able to land in Shangjun is indeed the blessing of everyone in Zhuoling Pavilion in this life!

"The national teacher is different from our clinking half-jar of water. It is a real immortal descended from the nine heavens! Therefore, there must be no mistakes in welcoming the national teacher!"

"But I'm just making up the numbers, shouldn't it be the same if I have me or not?" Ruan Tao said.

"Hiss! You are the 'reincarnation of Guanyin' that the common people say now. Do you think the national teacher will not see you? It is my luck to see the national teacher. You kid, let's have some fun!" Mao Yi gritted his teeth. He warned, "Go to the prefect's yamen now and transfer this matter to them. Go back tonight to take a bath and burn incense, and prepare to welcome the national teacher tomorrow!"

Hearing what Mao Yi said, Ruan Tao became more and more curious about the origin of this national teacher.

He picked up the scarecrow on the ground and walked out.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he stopped and turned around: "Director."

"Huh?" Mao Yi had just put down the teacup, and raised his brows at the sound, waiting to see what nonsense words could come out of this guy's mouth.

Ruan Tao smiled, gossiping: "I heard that our national teacher always wears a hood when he sees everyone, but he likes to wear women's skirts, is it true?"

Mao Yi didn't recover for a while, and was choked by the saliva: "Cough, cough, cough?!!!"
