After rebirth, I made the princes cry
Chapter 143 The Magical Wizard
The first person to discover that Zhao Fei was missing was actually the elder's wife.
"We have an unwritten rule among the households living in the common courtyard. The elders will take the initiative to pay attention to the personnel affairs of the common courtyard, such as which household has a dispute or friction with which household, or whether a couple in a certain household is fighting and quarreling. , the elders have to come forward to mediate. Zhao Er usually lives in Jiangying, and only Fei is at home. My old wife always pays attention to his house. Fei loves to be lively and likes to visit. Sometimes the curfew drum is rang several times. After ten seconds, she hurried back in a panic.
That day, she went out early in the morning, empty-handed, and exchanged some pleasantries with my old wife. She said she was going to a small market to buy some soy and vinegar and come back to prepare pickled bamboo shoots. Unexpectedly, the curfew drum was ringing. It was over, but no one was there. My old wife thought she had gone to a neighbor's house with whom she had become friends again, and she even asked her daughter-in-law to go and ask, but they all said no one was there. We didn't feel at ease that whole night, and it was early morning the next day. , Fei still didn’t reply, so I asked my son to go to Jiangying to notify Zhao Er.
When Zhao Er came back, he also searched Nanzeli and Nanfuli, but no one saw Fei. It was my idea to tell Zhao Er to report to the official immediately. "
Regarding the curfew system, Nanci and Yingshu both understood it. The curfew drum sounded three hundred times, the palace keys were issued, and the gates of Jiankang City were also closed one after another. Except for privileged people, no vehicles or vehicles were allowed on the avenues and main streets. People and horses can pass through, but it is still allowed to pass within the gates and lanes of the lanes. However, due to the city division system implemented in Dayu, there are no shops in the lanes where people live. After the curfew, most lanes are dark, and the people have nothing to do. Won't hang out outside.
The residents in Nan Zeli are not well-off, and the accommodation conditions are generally cramped. It is unlikely that Fei, a married woman, will be allowed to stay overnight. According to the elder, there is no precedent for Fei to stay out at night.
Yingshu asked the elder's wife, "Does Grandma know a Lady Du?"
The old woman was a little embarrassed in front of Nanci, but when the person who asked the question was Yingshu, who was about the same age as her granddaughter, spoke softly, and had a bright appearance, she couldn't help but relax. She nodded and said, "What's Mrs. Du's real name?" No one knows that her husband’s surname is Du and he lives in Chitongli, which is the third village to the west from our place. Beyond that is Nanxiaoshi. She often visits Zhao Er’s house. I asked her once, she and Her husband is not from Jiankang, he only came to Jiankang three years ago, and she is very grateful to Zhao’s second daughter-in-law, saying so much that Zhao’s second daughter-in-law is willing to be friends with her.”
Yingshu felt a little weird, but the feeling was very vague and she couldn't explain the weirdness. At this time, another woman suddenly interrupted.
That woman was Fei's immediate neighbor.
"One day, Zhao's second daughter-in-law was cooking porridge and was cursing. The Du family's daughter-in-law was also there, whispering to persuade her to calm down. I asked Zhao's second daughter-in-law if she was quarreling with others again, and why she was so angry this time. Zhao The second daughter-in-law spat on the ground and said that a wooden statue of the God of Wealth enshrined in her home was smashed to the ground. She felt a little uneasy, so she thought about asking the wizard to divine it.
Unexpectedly, the wizard cursed her when he opened his mouth, saying that she had offended and was arrogant. If she didn't spend thousands of money to eliminate the disaster, she would die in the Weaver Pond with her eyes and tongue broken! "
The elder's wife also hesitated and said: "Zhao's second daughter-in-law did not complain to me about the wizard, but... after her sudden death, the wizard did say Ying Gua's words. The wizard rented a place in Nanze and was new here. We didn't believe it at first. His divination skills and divination of good and bad luck were still looking for the great witch Musa, but after Zhao’s second daughter-in-law happened, even the great witch Musa was shocked, and no one in the neighborhood dared to look down on the wizard at the end of the street anymore.”
The more war-torn times it is, the harder it is for people to live and work in peace and contentment, the more they pray for the blessings of gods and Buddhas. They believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and they also believe in wizards. Not to mention ordinary people, even nobles, many of them have their own Worshiped wizard.
The wizard Nan Zeli actually has a name, but in the past no one paid much attention to him, and the name seemed to have disappeared. Now, outside the common courtyard where he lives, a plaque with the name "杻阳witch" has been hung. Outside the courtyard wall, Many believers have begun to offer oil lamps. Yingshu looked at the oil lamps and was a little speechless - the oil lamps were offered to the Buddha and Taoism, but they were also offered to the shaman family. Ordinary people were reluctant to light lamps at night and waste wax, but I always spend a lot of money on this kind of illusory belief.
Nanci knocked on the closed courtyard door.
The residents of this common courtyard felt that they were superior to others. When they heard the knock on the door, a strong man wanted to find out the origin of the person who knocked on the door. He opened the door and his arrogance immediately subsided, but he still asked: "Are you two nobles here to visit?" Is it from Yang Dawu?"
Qi Yangwu is very short and lives in a small house. Although his fame has increased greatly, he does not occupy other people's big houses because of this. However, the landlord who rents the house to him has a room of his own. He packed up the main room at the gate of the courtyard and rented it to the great witch for "divination". He also shamelessly asked his grandson to be a witch boy. The witch boy looked confused and trembled. Nanci and Yingshu entered the "Shu Hall" that was their main hall ten days ago. They were even unsteady on their knees and were trying hard not to let their bodies sway too obviously.
From the corner of her eye, Yingshu caught a glimpse of the wizard's eyes rolling around, and finally stopped in a panic.
"You can guess first, what is the relationship between the two of us?" Yingshu said.
Nanci took out a gold and five baht and threw it in front of the wizard.
The gold five baht is actually not a currency in circulation, but it does not mean that it is worthless. In most cases, the gold five baht is a status symbol, but it is only one gold five baht. It cannot be exchanged for glory and wealth. This is a little insight. Everyone should understand the vulgar sentiments. However, Qi Yang Wu's eyes were lit up by this gold baht. He pinched it in his hand and showed a flattering smile.
Then he half-closed his eyes, counted with his fingers, and said firmly: "You two are brother and sister."
In the eyes of the wizard, the man and woman in front of him were obviously nobles. The woman spoke first, which meant that the woman was the leader and the man came to accompany him. A lady from a famous family would definitely not come to a place like Nanzeli with a foreign man, so she should I encountered something difficult, and I found out that he was the newest wizard in Jiankang City, so I came here specifically to ask. The man who came with the woman looked like he was not a servant, so he must be his brother.
The wizard was very sure of his answer, but Nanji's face darkened.
"We are not brother and sister."
"The two of you must be brothers and sisters, and I just divined that the young master must be troubled by the matter of marriage. He has someone he admires, and this person and the young master are close friends. Unfortunately, it seems that the two of them are in love with each other. My boss’s husband is someone else.”
Nanci really wanted to punch him and smash the confident smiling face of the magic stick in front of him.
He actually tried to defraud money with his eyesight, which was not even as good as that of Yoshijo Mamoru just now! ! !
"I am a female official in the palace, a middle-aged female official serving His Majesty, and this is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince Guisujun." Yingshu said with a smile: "You have to take the gold five baht you just carried. Only in Pingyi Bofu can I exchange it for a small five baht, otherwise, it is worthless."
The reason why Ying Shu told the truth was of course because she saw that this so-called Jiyang Witch was a scoundrel who was trying to deceive and deceive. To quickly force the liar to tell the truth, using status and status to oppress him was the most effective way. Ying Shu could even It is certain that His Highness the Second Prince will never come to Nanzeli to learn about the case. In other words, the Second Prince does not know the persons related to this case at all.
But today, she and Nanci openly left Taicheng and traveled to several places. Their whereabouts would definitely be heard by the second prince. In order to avoid complications, they must first obtain the confession of this liar. Yingshu even I don't even bother to call such a person a wizard.
The fake wizard was indeed frightened, and he quickly prostrated and confessed.
"The villain Zhen Zhu doesn't know any witchcraft, but...because of his short stature and wretched appearance, he has no power to restrain a chicken, so he has to rely on lies to make a living..."
What kind of "good luck" did he have? He didn't cheat much money, but he actually alarmed a prince and a female official? ! The name will be heard in heaven all of a sudden! ! !
"You are a liar, but you were sure that Zhao Fei's body would be buried in the Weaver Pond, and you said words that were so heartbreaking?!" Ying Shu didn't even bother to look at Zhen Zhu, and was very speechless about his name. The fake witch actually Called "True Immortal"?
Her tone became a little more serious when she asked, which actually frightened the witch boy into crying "Wow".
Nanji:……
Yingshu:......
The witch boy's cries first alerted the house owner, and he rushed in with his sons. Although they could see that the "visitors" were noble men and women, they firmly believed that the wizard was a "living god", blessed by the "god" and powerful. The threat seemed less great, so he was about to reprimand him, but the "god" became anxious first and pushed him away: "Your grandson has been sitting in the posture for too long, and when his legs swell, he I'm crying, but it's not the business of the two distinguished guests, and you can't offend the distinguished guests."
The homeowner and his family were confused, and the child cried louder and said, "The witch just said that he was a liar and made other people blind and tongue-tied. My mother-in-law said that if I didn't listen to the witch, I would be blind." The drowned ghost of the tongue comes to haunt me, but the great witch killed the drowned ghost, and I am afraid of ghosts."
Zhen Yan's face suddenly turned pale.
Yingshu turned her head and waved to the anxious woman who was wandering outside the main room: "Take the child and comfort him first. Don't scare him anymore. Children are most afraid of hearing those words of gods and ghosts."
The woman hurriedly came in, grabbed the child in her arms, and ran out. Yingshu said to Zhen Juan, "Do you think we can still allow you to continue deceiving and abducting you in Nanze? You honestly confessed the truth and took the Fifth Highness with you." You are rewarded with the money, and you are thinking about starting a small business. It is hard work, but life is not difficult. All the neighbors in Nanzeli have to work hard and save money through frugality. You can't bear to let them live in the broad daylight. Light the oil cup?"
Seeing that the landlord and his son were dumbfounded, Yingshu said again: "Neighbors who want to hear the truth, please come in and listen. You will gain wisdom and be in awe. But from now on, don't blindly believe that the oil cup will do it." You have received blessings. People who eat whole grains will inevitably suffer from diseases. Just praying to gods and worshiping Buddha cannot get rid of the root cause of the disease. Some witch doctors will use herbal medicine to treat diseases. Although they talk about witchcraft and practice medical skills, This is still believable. It predicts good and bad luck. What I want is peace of mind, but don’t waste too much of your savings on this matter.”
Zhen Rong completely gave up the idea of continuing to deceive. Even in full view of the public, she no longer dared to hide anything, and confessed the truth dejectedly.
