Be a national teacher in Liaozhai Fanwen

In the end, Ruan Tao and his party decided to go to Wu Taishou's mansion to check the situation.

Before leaving, Ruan Tao went back to Du Zimei's small courtyard and asked Hu Chang to take Hu Qiu back first. It was not safe to stay in Zhao's residence, and he always felt that Hu Qiu still had something to tell the truth, so he hoped that Hu Chang could help to ask. .

Then, he went to the small thatched hut in the south of the city. Now he often lives in the small courtyard on Yusi Street in Zigong. etc.

The carriage was parked outside the courtyard, the leaves of the big locust tree in the courtyard were bare, and the branches were exposed to the clear sky, looking like ghostly shadows.

The carriage was parked outside the courtyard, Wang Mang and Du Zimei stood at the door of the house and watched Ruan Tao pick and choose inside the house, three strings of beeswax beads, two handfuls of yellow talisman paper, four packs of cinnabar, and a handful of exquisitely cut paper figurines.

"If you put these things in the wilderness like this, aren't you afraid that people will steal them?" Wang Mang asked, leaning against the door.

"Don't be afraid." Ruan Tao stuffed things into his arms, and stuffed the things that couldn't fit into the arms of the two people at the door. Then he pointed to the two half-person-high paper dolls hanging on the wall that were delicately tied up and said. , "They are watching here, whether it is a person or a ghost, they dare not come."

Wang Mang looked up at the paper doll hanging on the wall. The white paper was painted with ink and cinnabar. It had nothing to do with it. It had a dark bun, white eyes, two round blushes, and a blood-red mouth. Everyone panicked!

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that when he looked at the two paper figurines, the two paper figurines were also looking at him.

Wang Mang shrugged, and his eyes fell on Ruan Tao again.

He always felt that this person was getting more and more evil. Although the two of them had known each other for a short time, they didn't feel so evil before.

Near noon, the sun shines into the house from outside the door, and the dust in the house swirls in the golden sunlight. Ruan Tao is standing at the junction of light and dark, picking out the things he wants to use.

The sun shines on his face, making half of his face bright and half dark. The half of his face immersed in the light is as white as jade, and the long eyelashes leave slender reflections in the amber eyes, like butterfly wings.

Wang Mang chuckled, he really made the right bet!

How could such a person spend his whole life reckless in this remote country?

"Let's go!"

After Ruan Tao picked up the things, he led Wang Mang and Du Zimei to the outside of the courtyard. While looking at the fallen locust tree leaves in the courtyard, he thought about it, and finally picked up a handful and stuffed them into Du Zimei's arms.

"Ah!" Du Zimei was very disgusted, "Pick this leaf up from the ground, and you stuff it into my arms when it's full of dirt?"

"I can't take it anymore, you can take it first." Ruan Tao patted Du Zimei's chest.

Du Zimei didn't throw away the leaves. He followed Ruan Tao to the door and asked, "What are you doing with a handful of dried leaves?"

Ruan Tao chuckled lightly: "If I'm right, this is the medicine that Taishou Wu will take tonight."

***

Arriving at the prefect's mansion, seeing that it was almost noon, it stands to reason that everyone in the prefect's mansion should prepare for today's meal.

After Ruan Tao and others entered the mansion, they saw all the servants in the mansion lowering their heads and sweeping, washing the ground and raising dust.

Naturally, big families clean their yards carefully every day, but they also perform their own duties. The servants sweep, boil water, make tea, water trees and flowers, and wash clothes. All the servants in the whole house were called to clean up.

Not only that, but cleaning the house should be done every morning when you wake up, why are you still sweeping now that it is almost noon?

Not only Ruan Tao noticed this abnormality, but Du Zimei also noticed it.

He said softly to the two people beside him: "If it is for the purpose of entertaining guests, it would be too grand? Besides, look at the faces of these people, if you don't know, you may think that we are here for the funeral at the prefect's mansion."

"Maybe there are other reasons?" Ruan Tao replied.

The three went around and came to the small courtyard where Wu Taishou and Mrs. Pan lived. A little girl in the corner opened the door and greeted the three of them politely: "Madam and Your Excellency are inside the house."

The little girl's eyes were red, it was obvious that she had just cried.

Seeing this, Du Zimei gave her a handful of candy and two silver spoons from her sleeve, rubbed her head and let her play first.

The three of them entered the yard, and the maid beside Mrs. Pan came out of the house, saluted the three of them, and led them into the house.

The maid lifted the curtain hanging on the door, and the three of them stepped into the room, only to see Mrs. Pan sitting alone at the main seat.

Only Wu Taishou's trembling voice came from behind the screen in the room: "I am so ugly now, I really dare not come to see the two adults and Mr. Ruan."

"It's okay, we've seen ghosts before, are you afraid you won't succeed?" Du Zimei said, "Come out and let Ji Zhen show you, it's a big taboo to avoid medical treatment."

Chief Wu sighed, and then stepped out from behind the screen.

First there was one foot, wearing black embroidered golden plum official boots, and then a calf covered by the hem of the clothes, which still looked like Taishou Wu's usual slender legs.

It's just that the next exposed place starts to feel wrong.

The thighs seem to be only a few inches short, supporting a waist as thick as a bucket, and the slender arms hang directly to the ankles. Looking up, you can see the haggard face of Wu Taishou, which is swollen and vicissitudes. The lines are several times deeper than usual, and there is a mole the size of a thumb on the face, making the whole person look wretched!

Although they had listened to Mrs. Pan's description first, the three of them were prepared, but when they actually saw the Wu Taishou who had become like this, the three of them were still horrified!

It's really... It's not that Wu Taishou looks so ugly and frightening now, it's just that the appearance of Wu Taishou is too different from the usual one!

Prefect Wu is in his thirties. Although his appearance is not comparable to that of young masters Fusu, Kong Ming, and Li Taibai, who look like gods in the sky, it is also inferior to young people like Ruan Tao, Wang Mang, and Du Zimei, who are like spring flowers.

However, among ordinary people, it will also be very outstanding. Who can see it and boast that it is a beautiful tree?

This, how did this become like this? !

Seeing the three of them staring at him speechless in astonishment, Prefect Wu was so cramped that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet!

He first watched Ruan Tao and the others stare wide-eyed, opened their mouths slightly, and looked at himself in astonishment, then looked down at his toes, and then looked at the pair of beautiful eyes sitting on the main seat looking at him affectionately. My wife, the hands were neither placed in front of her body nor behind her, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

In the end, it was Wang Mang who came back to his senses first, and he hurried forward to hold Wu Taishou's uncomfortable hands, and said with grief and concern: "Master Wu! You, why are you like this? Apart from the change in appearance, other parts of the body Do you feel uncomfortable? Is there any pain? What did Doctor Li say when he came?"

Seeing Wang Xiang caring about him so much, the embarrassment of Wu Taishou was reduced by more than half, and he was so moved that he burst into tears: "Master Wang is bothering, Li Taiyi has come to see me, and said that I was too frightened and my body was a little cold, and he also diagnosed the rest. Nothing happened, so I took the trouble to let Mr. Ruan take a look."

Ruan Tao and Du Zimei also quickly came to their senses, and they bowed to the Wu Taishou as a salute.

Wang Mang is indeed a man who wins people's hearts. He pulled Taishou Wu to sit up with concern, and pretended to complain: "You are just confused! Although everyone was busy the past two days because of the appearance of the national teacher and Xingluo, it's just you It's not a matter of these two days that something went wrong, so why didn't Zhuo Ling Pavilion be the first time?"

Taishou Wu waved his hand and sighed: "It's useless to look for it. Don't the people in Zhuoling Pavilion know about it? Although the original intention of your majesty and you to establish Zhuoling Pavilion is to refine the elixir of life for your majesty, to help you The common people deal with the affairs of the folk demons, but where does Zhuo Lingge take care of the common people's affairs now?"

As he said that, Prefect Wu began to tear up again: "Since the eldest son had an accident last time, my lord, you should have noticed! The eldest son found them and resisted, let alone the common people! It is useless for me to find them. Alas! "

"Then Taishou Wu should come to see me." Ruan Tao stepped forward, put a small pulse test on the case, sat next to Taishou Wu and began to take his pulse.

Prefect Wu looked at Ruan Tao gratefully: "I learned that Mr. Ruan entered the Zhuoling Pavilion, presumably to help His Majesty refine the elixir of immortality, so I dare not disturb him."

Ruan Tao chuckled, "Am I such a ungrateful person in Wu Taishou's eyes? In this way, Wu Taishou really found it himself."

Hearing this, Wu Taishou smiled: "I'm treating a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain."

After getting his pulse, Ruan Tao frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned around and asked Mrs. Pan who was sitting beside her and was wiping away tears secretly: "Madam, where is the cook who bought the raccoon meat that day?"

Mrs. Pan hurriedly collected her emotions, and when Ruan Tao asked the cook, she let out a long sigh: "I'm dead, I died at the second watch last night."

"What?!" Ruan Tao, Wang Mang, and Du Zimei said in surprise.

Ruan Tao took a deep breath, looked at the Wu Taishou in front of him and said, "This is troublesome."

Hearing this, Prefect Wu and Mrs. Pan were in a panic!

"Sir, please save my husband!" Saying that, Mrs. Pan got up to salute Ruan Tao.

Ruan Tao hurriedly supported Mrs. Pan who was about to kneel on the ground: "No way! No way! Madam please get up quickly."

Afterwards, he sat back on his seat, looked at the terrified Wu Taishou and said, "I'm not saying that Wu Taishou's illness is incurable, but it's really troublesome."

"Can you finish speaking in one breath?" Du Zimei asked quickly.

"Prefect Wu is infected with evil spirits." Ruan Tao said.

"Evil?" Mrs. Pan was confused with tears in her eyes.

"Simply put, it can be understood as lowering the head?" Ruan Tao said, "This is not an accident, it is man-made."

As he said that, Ruan Tao took out a beeswax bead from his bosom, added tea and cinnabar to the tea in front of him, and drew symbols on the bead with a very fine Zihao pen.

Ruan Tao's kung fu brushes for painting symbols were also proficient a lot in the past, and he was able to draw them in just a few strokes.

He gave Wu Taishou the beeswax beads with spells drawn in the book, and asked Wu Taishou to swallow them with tea.

"Fortunately, I'm here today." Ruan Tao sighed after seeing Prefect Wu swallowing the beads, "If it was a few days later, Prefect Wu probably wouldn't have noticed that he was in the pile of yellow leather in that barren grave!"

"So, sir is suspicious..." Mrs. Pan grasped the handkerchief in her hand tightly, "But the chef is the son of our family, we brought it from our hometown, not came to Shangjun to buy it. He has been with us for more than ten years Now, the officials and I have always treated him and his family very well, there is no way he would harm the officials!"

"I mean, I want to ask him if he encountered any abnormalities when he bought raccoon meat." Ruan Tao looked at the Wu Taishou in front of him, and took out several yellow talismans from his pocket and gestured between the Wu Taishou's forehead. It's just that the yellow symbols didn't respond.

"This evil thing, there will only be one person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell." Ruan Tao saw that the yellow talisman did not respond, so he stopped trying, "Find the person who surrendered the evil spirit to the Wu Taishou, and then come to cleanse the evil spirit, so that it will never be extinct." Future troubles, but it can't be ruled out that that person harmed the wrong person, Wu Taishou suffered this kind of trouble for nothing."

Hearing this, Prefect Wu became agitated, and he slapped the case: "Wu has been an official in Shangjun for so many years, he is worthy of the imperial court's salary and cultivation! He is worthy of the people of Shangjun...I..."

"Don't get excited." Ruan Tao said quickly, "Don't be anxious about that talisman just now."

Hearing what Ruan Tao said, Prefect Wu finally calmed down.

Hearing this, Du Zimei pondered and said: "If you say that you have harmed the wrong person... Now it's too late for the chef to die."

Holding the teacup, Wang Mang nodded, "Isn't it? If you say you're dead, you're dead."

Hearing this, Mrs. Pan also felt that something was wrong: "I was really shocked by the news from their family this morning! The chef in our family is only 36 this year, and he is quite healthy. There was a new daughter in the family before, so it shouldn't have died so suddenly..."

She seemed to have thought of something, and quickly said to Ruan Tao: "His death is also very strange! I have never heard of anyone dying like this."

"Oh?" Ruan Tao was holding a cinnabar pen and gesticulating on Wu Taishou's face, but when he heard that he put down the pen in his hand, he turned to look at Mrs. Pan, "How did he die?"

Mrs. Pan frowned slightly and said, "What did his family say...it was bitten to death by lice."

"What? What killed him?!" Ruan Tao asked in disbelief.

"Lice."
