Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Hearing the two people playing riddles, many of the onlookers had confused looks on their faces. Only some of the older neighbors had a hint of understanding on their faces, but they were just as confused as the others.

The deaf old lady listened to what Taoist Master Xu Yi said, her face became even gloomier, and she gritted her teeth and said viciously: "Do you really want to fight to the death with me, and gamble the reputation that you have worked so hard to build up over the years at Baiyun Temple?"

Taoist Master Xu Yi looked at the cane she was holding tightly and took a step back.

"Old lady, today only the fish will die, but the net will not be broken."

"Daoyin, you two quickly catch her!" Suddenly the old Taoist Xu Yi shouted.

Under the astonished eyes of the neighbors in the courtyard, the two red-robed mages behind the Taoist master Xu Yi suddenly took two steps forward, then quickly subdued and lifted the deaf old lady up on both sides.

"Pap~~"

"How dare you——"

The deaf old lady's eyes widened in horror, her gaze following the crutch that slipped from her hand and then fell to the ground. Before she could finish a complete sentence, Daoyin and the other man took a piece of rag out of their sleeves and stuffed her mouth full of it.

"Woooooo~~"

She could only whimper and struggle with her legs, but was held tightly by the two men.

Seeing that she was still trying to struggle, one wizard hugged her tightly, while the other quickly took out a piece of rope from his arms and tied up her hands and feet skillfully.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the compound couldn't help but be stunned. The two wizards had such nimble hands and feet that they could even take out ropes and pieces of cloth directly from their arms. Who would believe that they were not well prepared?

Yan Bugui hurried forward, wanting to ask what was going on, but he saw Taoist Xu Yi walking up to the deaf old lady who was tied up like a stick, pointing at the purple robe on her body and saying:

"Do you know why we are wearing robes, carrying swords and seals today? It's because I, the Taoist priest, have calculated that I will capture you, the demon!"

Demon?

As soon as they heard this word, everyone in the courtyard scattered like birds and beasts. Even Yan Bugui quickly stepped back a few steps, hiding behind the third aunt and looking towards the Taoist master Xu Yi.

Taoist Xu Yi saw that his words did not scare the deaf old lady, but frightened other people, so he quickly explained loudly: "Everyone misunderstood, misunderstood, misunderstood what I said!"

"I am not saying that the old lady is a demon, but I am saying that she has done things that are beastly, even worse than a demon. Also, I am afraid that what I will say will make her desperate and she will fight with me or even commit suicide. I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure just in case. Wait until I finish telling you about her past and present lives."

"Everyone, come together and watch me escort her to the police station and let the police handle it. What do you think?"

After hearing this, someone dared to come forward. Yan Bugui took two steps forward cautiously, but still stood seven or eight meters away from the deaf old lady and pointed at her and asked:

"Old Immortal, is she really not a demon?"

Taoist Xuyi shook his head slightly, then stretched out his hand and made a seal in front of his chest, and said softly with an indifferent look:

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

"It is precisely because she is not a demon that it is so troublesome for me to deal with her. Not only can I not hurt her, but I have to hand her over to the police and let them convict her!"

"If she is really a demon, then it would be easy to deal with. It would be a matter of a flick of my finger!"

Taoist Xu Yi looked indifferent and contemptuous, as if he could destroy all the monsters in the world with a snap of his fingers. In just a moment, he stunned all the neighbors present.

Looking at his appearance as a living god and his majestic purple robe, one would want to kowtow to him for no reason.

For a moment, everyone was excited and stared at him with respect, without any doubt in their expressions.

When everyone gathered around again, Taoist Xu Yi changed the subject again, shook his head and said disdainfully: "Forget it, why am I telling you all this? I'd better tell you about the old monk's past!"

"See how she got this four-color dragon python blessing!"

Li Muhua couldn't help but secretly admire this scene. This old guy is really good at pretending - so majestic!

Looking at the deaf old lady's face which was as ferocious as a devil, Taoist Xu Yi turned his head away and asked his two disciples to hold her steadily, so that she could stand in front of all the neighbors like an old pine tree!

He wanted to execute the deaf old lady in public, in front of the neighbors who had lived with her for decades. As long as Taoist Xu Yi peeled off her disguise, the eyes of the neighbors would be enough to cut her into pieces!

"Ruan Hongmei was sold from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Sijiu City when she was twelve years old and ended up in Lushengyuan."

"The young girl was sold thousands of miles away and committed to the Red Mansion. How pitiful, truly pitiful!"

Taoist Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he said this, feeling sorry for the deaf old lady's childhood experiences. But then he remembered what she did afterwards, and his face became cold again.

"After that, she lived in the Red Mansion for several years. It's better not to talk about it. Around 02, when she was 18 years old, she met Prince Yu. After just one night, she was redeemed. It was a blessing in disguise!"

"But the palace walls are so high that how can a woman like her, who has devoted herself to the Red Mansion for several years, fly in? So -"

Taoist Xuyi stopped calculating and looked around the yard.

"This courtyard is the canary cage that Prince Yu built for her, imprisoning her for life."

"But this also shows how much Prince Yun loves her. Although she is a concubine in the private house, the supplies in the house were all arranged according to the royal palace. The servants and slaves in the house are complete, and they are all first-class hands."

"Among them is the chef who can cook Tan's dishes, He Yuzhu's grandfather He Jianchang!"

"It's a pity that most good things are not durable, like colorful clouds and fragile glass. The Qing Dynasty finally came to an end after 12 years, and Prince Yu died with it.

It was ten years, and Prince Yu loved her for ten years, but perhaps because of her background, she never——"

Taoist Xu Yi did not finish his words, but anyone with a quick mind would naturally understand what he meant. Ignoring the deaf old lady's biting gaze, Taoist Xu Yi turned around and continued to speak to all the neighbors.

"It was for this reason that after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Yu fled to Lushun without taking her with him. Besides, he also wanted to keep her in the city as an insider!"

"In the same year, He Yuzhu's father was born and was given the name He Daqing by the mistress of the house, Ruan Hongmei. I don't need to explain the profound meaning of this."

"After that, she dismissed all the servants in the house, leaving only the father and son of the He family to serve her, take care of her food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and at the same time accept refugees passing by who were unaware of her past, thus filling up the yard again."

"In fact, she did nothing wrong. She just had a deep friendship with Prince Yu, and she also showed some favoritism to the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that she had no choice."

"But you shouldn't have gotten involved with Zhaohe later, and you even contributed a lot to them!"
