Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss
Chapter 326 It's Daji's Brother Again
Is beauty a sin?
There is no crime in itself to be beautiful, but in the eyes of some people, beauty has become a disaster that leads to the collapse of a dynasty. How innocent, can a great fire be overthrown by only a little girl?
Jiang Yan looked not far away at the beautiful woman who was serving porridge to the passing refugees in front of the door. That was the person he wanted to protect in this world, his own sister Su Meiniang.
Jiang Yan's current surname is Su, and he is the son of a wealthy businessman in Suzhou City. His family has not many offshoots. His parents died young and only his brother and sister grew up in the family.
Su Meiniang, who was born as a fairy, met a young man named Huang Bingcheng during a trip. The two fell in love at first sight. Huang Bingcheng invited someone to the Su family to propose marriage. After marriage, Huang Bingcheng became the county of Suzhou City after passing the exam make.
The husband and wife are loving couples. There are not many people in the Huang family, only Huang Bingcheng's mother, Mrs. Huang, is also very kind. She treats Su Meiniang very well. The family is harmonious and beautiful. Happier than many people.
But in the third year after their marriage, the crisis appeared. Su Meiniang had a dream. In the dream, she was Su Daji, the favorite concubine of King Zhou hundreds of years ago.
Su Meiniang's dream was not dreamed for no reason, but because of her heart. In order to kill Bigan, Su Daji, who was possessed by a nine-tailed fox, lied that she had a heart disease and needed Bigan's exquisite heart to survive.
King Zhou ordered Bigan to dig out his heart without saying a word, but the heart flew away after Bigan died.
After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, Bigan and others became immortals, but the exquisite heart with seven apertures was left forever in a dark swamp. Hundreds of years later, it has become a heart demon, ready to find The old Su Daji took revenge.
From the heart demon's point of view, Su Meiniang and Su Daji have the same appearance, and she is the reincarnation of Su Daji, so it wants Su Meiniang to pay the price.
Together with the heart demon came Tianshi Zhong Kui and his two sworn brothers, but the heart demon was He Bigan's heart demon. .
As a result, Su Meiniang left her husband Huang Bingcheng and lived in a brothel. Huang Bingcheng also lost his official position because he refused to let his uncle Huang Taishou blaspheme Su Meiniang.
In the end, it was Su Meiniang who scratched her beautiful face in front of her demons, so she recruited Bigan to clean up her demons in person. Su Meiniang and Huang Bingcheng's family were reunited. In the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva restored Su Meiniang's appearance.
This ending is considered a good ending, but in this story, Su Meiniang didn't have to bear those things. She is Su Meiniang, just an ordinary mortal. Even though she was Su Daji in her previous life, she was also possessed by a nine-tailed fox. What you do is involuntary.
The heart demon clearly knew that she was only Su Daji, and that it was the nine-tailed fox who killed him. Even when he was hurting Su Meiniang, he met the real nine-tailed fox who killed him. He still put those things on Su Meiniang, which is even more ridiculous What's more, he also teamed up with Nine-Tailed Fox.
There is also Bigan, who lost his seven-aperture exquisite heart during his lifetime, and continued to be a heartless person after he became a fairy, and he would not be moved even if that heart demon was at work. Maybe in the seriousness of the gods, human life is like a waste, and one died. There are tens of thousands of human beings.
Human beings will never become extinct, and if one dies, there will be tens of thousands of human beings who will continue to support them, and as long as there are always offerings, they will never disappear in the world.
"Brother, why do you have time to come here?" Su Meiniang came to Jiang Yan and asked after serving the porridge.
"Passing by, stop and take a look when you see you serving porridge here."
Speaking of porridge, Su Meiniang sighed, "Recently, many refugees have entered the city, and my husband is also very worried about this matter, and I don't know when it will be resolved."
"Just do your best, you and I are just mortals, without that much divine power, tell Bingcheng not to worry too much." There is never less suffering in the world, but the difference is whether it happens in front of your eyes, whether you can see it or not.
"How can Xianggong listen to him? There are more and more refugees, and the prefect scolded him yesterday." Su Meiniang said with a sad face.
Jiang Yan gave her three bead chains, "I asked eminent monks to consecrate these three strings in a Buddhist temple. The three of you in your family wear them one by one. They can keep you safe and drive away evil spirits. It's not peaceful recently, so everyone should be careful."
"I see, thank you, brother."
The consecration of the three-string bead chain is fake, but he injected spiritual power into it, exorcising evil spirits is real, as long as it is not for the kind of demons who have mastered demon skills for thousands of years, they can't get close at all. Bigan died less than 1000 years ago, theoretically. It is not difficult to say that it is difficult to resist demons.
As long as you can't completely resist it, it's okay. As long as a monster approaches, he will feel it immediately and can rush over in time.
When Jiang Yan returned home, he entered the space and began to make his magic weapon. According to the memory center, the day when the demon went to find Su Meiniang is not far away. Jiang Yan has been practicing since he came to this world, but he has never taken the initiative to go to the swamp to find his heart. magic.
The heart demon has cultivated for nearly a thousand years in the place where demons gather, but he has only cultivated in this world for a few hundred years, but he is not necessarily the opponent of the heart demon in terms of cultivation, after all, even the celestial master appointed by the Jade Emperor can use it no way.
Bigan has become a god, as long as Bigan is still alive, the inner demons will not be destroyed, so he needs the help of a magic weapon, a magical tool that will make him never have the possibility of re-entering the world even if he cannot directly eliminate the inner demons.
In the forest at night, a female Taoist priest wearing a purple-gray Taoist robe was walking in the forest. The evil spirit all over her body could not be concealed. Zhong Kui and the other three saw the evil spirit from a distance above the clouds, and were about to chase after it, when suddenly there was a wave of evil spirits from the other side. A disgusting bloody aura came over, more than a hundred times stronger than the monster's aura on the ground.
The three hurriedly chased after him, but the demonic aura was fleeting, and the three of them disappeared after chasing, only encountering the corpse of a man whose heart had been dug out.
And looking at the expression on the man's face that has not disappeared, it can be seen that he must have had some sweet dreams, and lost his life in ecstasy.
"Brother, the heart demon disappeared after entering Suzhou City. Could it be that there is some hiding place in Suzhou City?" Liu Hanyan looked around, and he couldn't detect any demonic aura. There must be something more powerful blocking it Keep it there so they won't notice it.
Zhong Kui also thought so, but Suzhou City said it was big or small, and trying to find out where the demons are hiding here is like finding a needle in a haystack. Now it seems that they can only sit still and wait for the demons to come out again Time to catch it again.
Jiang Yan watched the three of them live in the inn from a distance. According to the legend, Zhong Kui won the first prize in the examination, but because of his ugly appearance, the emperor did not recognize him as the top pick, so Zhong Kui hit the pillar and died.
Knowing Zhong Kui's death, his two sworn brothers, Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu, also obeyed the oath of that day, 'not to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same month'.
After Zhong Kui's death, he was named a Heavenly Master by the Jade Emperor. Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu also became Sanxians, and they followed Zhong Kui to kill demons with him.
In my memory, Wang Fuqu knelt down to ask Guanyin for help for Su Meiniang, and was struck by lightning for this. Fortunately, he was an immortal so he was not injured.
Jiang Yan looked in the direction of the Su family. Zhong Kui and the others didn't see it a step later. He had been in the city but he saw it. The demon is now at the Su family.
But Su Meiniang has the bead chain he gave, and the heart demon should not be able to recall Su Meiniang's time to Su Meiniang so easily.
About a quarter of an hour later, the heart demon came out of Su Mansion and headed out of the city. Jiang Yan immediately followed, and at the same time made a noise that alarmed Zhong Kui and the others. Three more helpers would be good, although they couldn't completely get rid of it. Devil.
Jiang Yan is just a mortal in this life, and the people around him are also mortals. He doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of those gods and ghosts.
Follow the heart demon all the way to the Taoist temple outside the city, the heart demon has no real body, just a mass of black mist, and you can vaguely see the crimson heart hidden in the mist.
The three of Zhong Kui chased after them and attacked the heart demon. Zhong Kui had the Demon Subduing Sword bestowed by the Jade Emperor in his hand, and Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu also had weapons in their hands.
Jiang Yan was in the dark. Seeing that Zhong Kui and the others were about to be defeated, he took out his weapon and threw it at the heart demon. If everything goes well, the matter will be over tonight.
Zhong Kui and the others saw a white light attacking the heart demon from nowhere, and the heart demon immediately groaned and howled in pain, and the black energy around them tended to gradually decrease.
"What's going on here?" Wang Fuqu asked in a daze as he watched this scene. He was not a scholar in the first place, and he was not smarter than his two elder brothers. He was a little puzzled by this sudden scene.
Liu Hanyan looked around for a week, and finally his eyes fell on Jiang Yan, who was hiding his figure among the thick branches, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He didn't see any aura or demon energy in Jiang Yan, so he is a mortal body. of mortals?
Regardless of his exposure, Jiang Yan continued to chant the spell, and a steady stream of spiritual power rushed towards the magic weapon in the black mist.
The black mist gradually decreased, and everyone could see that a bottle was absorbing it in the black mist. However, when they saw that the black mist was about to be sucked up, a huge long arm suddenly stretched out from the side, directly Take away the bottle.
The bottle left the heart demon, and the heart demon quickly flew into the distance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was too late for Zhong Kui and others to chase after him.
The person who reached out to grab Jiang Yan's bottle didn't show up at all. He was in the grass and only stretched out a hand. Jiang Yan stabbed him with a sword and there was nothing. He also slipped away, but Jiang Yan already knew who took the bottle. .
"My servant, Zhong Kui, these are my two Yiyi brothers, Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu, I don't know how to call you." Seeing that he could not catch up with the inner demon, Zhong Kui came to Jiang Yan and asked.
"Su Jiangyan, Tianshi Zhong has admired his name for a long time." Jiang Yan just made a noise to let Zhong Kui come out, just to cooperate with him. Zhong Kui is the Heavenly Master of Exorcing Demons personally appointed by the Jade Emperor, and it is justified for him to get rid of the demons.
Zhong Kui looked Jiang Yan up and down, his appearance was very clear, and there was a sense of nobility around him, but he didn't see his fairy bones, but how could a mortal be able to drive such a powerful magic weapon?
"Young Master Su, you can recognize the heart demon just now. We brothers only met it today. We saw him steal a man's heart, so we called it the heart demon." Jiang Yan has a magic weapon to deal with the heart demon, so maybe he knows The origin of the demon.
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows. It turns out that Zhong Kui still doesn't know the origin of the heart demon, "Master Zhong Tian is a god, and he must have known Bigan who became a fairy hundreds of years ago. That heart was dug out by the nine-tailed fox back then." That heart, the resentment accumulated over the years is too deep to have a demonic nature, and it has become a demon."
The three of Zhong Kui were shocked when they were released. They naturally knew Bigan, but firstly, they had not been immortal for many years, and secondly, since they became immortal, they spent more time walking in the world, casting down demons and eliminating demons in the world, so He is not familiar with Bigan.
So now they still have doubts about what Jiang Yan said, and Jiang Yan doesn't explain much to them. There is nothing to explain this kind of thing, as long as Zhong Kui investigates a little bit, it will be clear.
"Master Su's magic weapon to deal with the inner demon was taken away. I wonder if Mr. Su has a telepathic connection with that magic weapon? How about we help Mr. Su get back the magic weapon?" Even if the person is not with the devil, he is not a good person.
Zhong Kui's responsibility is to slay demons and eliminate demons. It is his duty to eliminate all evil monsters. Now that the demons are harming people, it is also his duty to eliminate the monsters that help the demons.
"No need, I'll go and find it myself. Master Zhong should think of ways to get rid of the inner demons. If it continues to harm people, there will be no peace in the city of Suzhou."
"Naturally, Mr. Su, rest assured, it is imperative to get rid of the inner demons." Zhong Kui cupped his fists and said, then took Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu to search for the traces of the inner demons.
Jiang Yan glanced at the Taoist temple not far away. All the female Taoist priests lived in this Taoist temple. Compared with the nunnery, there is no need to shave their hair to become a monk here. The nine-tailed fox is best at charming people. The stewed egg head looks much better, and naturally it is also more charming.
Lin Xiaodai is the nine-tailed fox possessed by Su Daji hundreds of years ago. She was ordered by Empress Nuwa to charm King Zhou and make cholera superseded, but later she really became the queen of King Zhou and enjoyed With the most prosperity and wealth in the world, coupled with the love between men and women with King Zhou, she gradually forgot Nuwa's orders.
After the death of King Zhou, Su Daji, who was the queen, was captured. Jiang Ziya swung the demon-slaying sword and cut off Su Daji's head. Nine-tailed fox, because he has nine lives, he survives.
Originally, one life is enough to die, which is irrelevant to Nine-Tailed Fox. After several decades of practice, it will be cultivated, and there are still nine lives, but who asked Jiang Ziya to use the Demon Slaying Sword to directly kill her Most of the cultivation base was cut off.
After several hundred years of practice, she has only recovered half of the nine-tailed fox demon back then. In these hundreds of years, she has been using men to restore her cultivation, harvesting yang and nourishing yin, and she has never missed a hand for hundreds of years. , every man would willingly let her suck away the yang energy, and in the end he would die.
Lin Xiaodai looked at the bottle full of black mist in her hand, another man died on her body tonight, and gave her life for her, but before she had gone far, she saw the inner demon rushing over and took it away the man's heart.
She felt very familiar at the first sight of the heart demon. After seeing clearly that it was a heart, Lin Xiaodai knew that the heart belonged to Bigan. Back then, Bigan killed her sons and grandchildren. Qian paid his life for this, but he didn't expect that after hundreds of years, his heart would actually have a cultivation base.
With hatred, she was worried that the inner demon would attack her. Her current cultivation level is only half of what it used to be. If she recovers completely, she won't be so afraid.
Coincidentally, when Zhong Kui and the others were cleaning up the inner demons, she met her. Seeing that the bottle was about to burst, she quickly took it over. If it burst, the black mist would return to the inner demons.
The one hiding in the tree seemed capable, and she might be able to seek refuge.
However, Lin Xiaodai waited until the middle of the night, and still did not wait for anyone to come to look for it. Isn't there a connection between this magic weapon and its owner?If the master wants to find it, he will be able to find it, so now the master doesn't want it?
Jiang Yan knew where Lin Xiaodai lived, so he naturally knew that the bottle was taken by Lin Xiaodai. At that time, there was a cloud of black mist, and Zhong Kui and the others couldn't see clearly from a distance, but he could feel that the bottle was not strong, and now he was rushing to make it overnight. The other bottle can hold the demon's bottle, so Lin Xiaodai naturally has no time to worry about it.
Besides, in Jiang Yan's memory, she was originally with the heart demon, and Su Meiniang was made things difficult by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Huang, because Lin Xiaodai used magic to make Mrs. Huang see that the porridge Su Meiniang made for her was full of bugs. He also entered Mrs. Huang's body, beat and scolded Su Meiniang, and made her kneel in the snow until she fainted.
Under such circumstances, how could Jiang Yan take the initiative to find Lin Xiaodai? As for whether the bottle in Lin Xiaodai's hand will be taken away by the heart demon, Jiang Yan doesn't care if she returns to her previous appearance.
Facts have proved that the method of using a bottle to contain the demon is feasible. Now that you can collect it once, you can accept the next time. It is nothing if the demon gets the bottle and the black mist recovers.
The next day, as soon as Jiang Yan came out of the space, the housekeeper handed over an invitation card, saying that Taishou Huang asked him to do it, and the place was in a restaurant in the city.
Huang Taishou is Huang Bingcheng's uncle, but he is not a real uncle. He is just a person in the family who should be called an uncle in terms of seniority. The prefect, the two are not close.
This time Taishou Huang invited him, probably it was a grand banquet.
"Master, do you want to report to Taishou Huang that you are not at home after going out?" The butler has been in the Su family for many years, and he still knows some things very well.
Huang Taishou is the prefect, and he has already set his sights on him. He said that if he goes out and hides for a while, can he hide for a lifetime?
Jiang Yan chuckled, "No, I just went to meet him."
Huang Taishou has only been an official in Suzhou City for half a year. Jiang Yan has not dealt with him in the past six months. This time is a good opportunity.
At the same time, Huang Bingcheng of the Huang family received the news that Taishou Huang was hosting a banquet for Jiang Yan in the restaurant, so he was shocked and rushed over.
Su Meiniang stopped him, "Don't go, Mr. Huang, Taishou Huang didn't invite you. You are worried that he will cause trouble for you. Brother, he has rich experience and will be fine."
"It's not a matter of experience or inexperience. You don't know that Huang Taishou has hosted other merchants in Suzhou City a few days ago. Now I'm afraid that he will use those refugees in the city to make a fuss and deceive himself to fill his own pocket. .”
Su Meiniang was a little surprised, she didn't expect the matter to be so serious, she thought it was just asking her elder brother to pay some extra tax money, her elder brother told her that it was nothing to spend money on, it was just a little money, That's why she wasn't worried.
But if you use refugees to make a fuss, take money from merchants, and then can't really use the money on refugees, then it is too abominable. It has nothing to do with the amount of money, but bad behavior.
"Sir, I know you're in a hurry, but it's because of this that you can't go. Anyway, the elder brother won't give the money directly. Why don't you wait for the elder brother to come back from the restaurant and invite him to the house, how about you talk to the elder brother clearly?"
Huang Bingcheng nodded, that's all he could do.
He knew that Huang Taishou didn't like him. In fact, before Huang Taishou came to Suzhou City to take office half a year ago, he didn't know that he had such an uncle. When he saw him, he went home and checked the genealogy. It's just that the fifth server is about to be released.
However, even if they are close uncles, they have different ways and do not conspire with each other, so after more than half a year, their relationship has not become much closer because they are relatives.
"Come here, Mr. Su, please use it. This is the old wine that I asked the store to bring out for many years. The best bamboo leaf green, Mr. Su, don't be angry." Just as Jiang Yan took his seat, Governor Huang couldn't wait to get someone to pour him wine.
Jiang Yan smelled the wine in the wine glass, the taste was extremely weak, maybe it hadn't even been in a year, let alone aged.
He raised his eyes to see the smiling face of Huang Taishou, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "It's a great honor for Huang Taishou to host the banquet in person."
"Mr. Su is angry. I have been in Suzhou City for a long time, and I have always heard that the Su family is a big taxpayer. I should be very honored. The place where I took office before was full of profiteers who only thought about how to evade taxes. It is really a blessing for Suzhou City to meet someone like Mr. Su for the first time."
Huang Taishou directly drank a glass of wine, and said: "A while ago, the Japanese officials discussed with colleagues in Suzhou City that they will reward merchants who pay taxes to a certain amount. I don't know what Mr. Su wants. As long as If I can help, I will definitely help.”
How hypocritical and hypocritical this statement is, I am afraid that after he brings it up, he will say how much he is short of the amount, and he will have to wait for him to take out the money.
"The people are the people, and the government is the government. Naturally, what the government gives is what it is. There is no reason to ask for it."
Jiang Yan took the jug on the table and poured wine into Huang Taishou's empty wine glass, and in a place where no one could see, a pill entered the wine glass, and the medicine melted when it met water. It has a different taste.
"Please, Lord Prefect."
No one saw Jiang Yan's movements, but the gods did. Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu came in together when Jiang Yan came in. They just used the Hidden God Art so others couldn't see it.
Wang Fuqu has a violent temper, and when he sees Jiang Yanruo drugging, he will come forward to stop him. Although the eunuch has a corrupt official face, he can't just poison him to death like this, but Liu Hanyan stopped him quickly.
Although he doesn't have much contact with Jiang Yan, he can feel that Jiang Yan is not a person who caressing about human life. It's better to wait and see how this kind of thing changes.
"Master Su must have seen the refugees that appeared in the city recently. These refugees came to Suzhou City. I don't care if I can't bear it, but I have no power to control them."
Huang Taishou said with a sigh, "To be honest, Mr. Su, this is not a good old wine at all, it's just an ordinary drink. This official and even the Yamen are ashamed of their pockets. Otherwise, this official would not easily get along with Su. The young master spoke."
So is this the start of playing the bitterness card?
Jiang Yan looked at Huang Taishou quietly and didn't answer, Huang Taishou said tearfully again: "If Mr. Su can borrow money to help the Yamen tide over the difficulties, the Suzhou government will be very grateful. There will be someone who can help Mr. Su in the future." The place will definitely do my part.”
"It is my blessing to be able to help those refugees. I don't need to borrow money. I don't know how much money the yamen needs to take care of the refugees. I just pay it all."
Eunuch Huang was taken aback, he didn't expect Jiang Yan to be so happy, he had only heard that Jiang Yan "honored" officials with a lot of money, this time he really saw it, no wonder that boy Huang Bingcheng is the son of a family but married the sister of a merchant , the relationship is because the uncle is generous.
"Young Master Su is so benevolent and righteous that I am really ashamed. This glass of wine is toast to Young Master Su."
"It's about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and it's also for my own good." Jiang Yan drank the wine in his glass with a smile.
It is true that he has been generous with previous officials, but the wool comes from the sheep, and the money of "filial piety" officials is taken from the officials, but they themselves are more greedy, and they have long forgotten how much money they have. Jiang Yan helped them The left hand is on the right hand.
As for those who found out, they were greedy for money. They didn't dare to blatantly find the thieves. They were worried that the matter would be exposed, so they could only admit that they were unlucky.
Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu felt very strange looking at this scene where the adjutants and the people were enjoying themselves.
"I said that Mr. Su really has a lot of money and nowhere to spend it? What kind of eunuch is obviously asking for money, but he even gave it?" Wang Fuqu looked at Liu Hanyan in disbelief and asked.
He believed that the Suzhou government government had no money, but he did not believe that the prefect Huang had no money. The finger rings on his hands, the hairpins on his head, the emerald jade on his boots, and the jade pendant around his waist, all of these were good things. Things, aren’t they all piled up with money?
If he really loves the people as much as he has shown, why does he want merchants' money instead of his own?
It is obvious that he took office to ask the local merchants to "respect", but the refugees just happened to come, so it would be better to use it as a cover, so that there will be an explanation when they are questioned in the future.
Liu Hanyan didn't think that Jiang Yan would obediently give the money. Jiang Yan gave him medicine before Huang Taishou said much. Although he didn't know what the effect of the medicine was for, it was definitely not for Huang Taishou's body.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Eunuch Huang happily left, and then Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu appeared, "Dare to ask Mr. Su, what is the medicine in the cup of Eunuch Huang?"
"Jie Se Wan." Jiang Yan said truthfully.
In my memory, this prefect Huang covets Su Meiniang's beauty very much. Now he has asked him to quit womanizing completely. He will feel nauseous when he sees beautiful women. If he stays away from women's sex in the future, he can enjoy the beauty of ordinary people by cultivating quietly. Shou, if he can't, then his result may not be very good.
Liu Hanyan thought of several kinds, but this one was the only one she didn't think of.
"Did you come to see me?" I met the two of them at the door just now, because Huang Taishou's people had already seen him, so he asked them to wait for a while, and deal with Huang Taishou's affairs first.
"Brother went to check the origin of the demon yesterday, and it was indeed the seven-apertured exquisite heart that Mr. Su said about Bigan, but the elder brother has not found a way to deal with the demon. Since Mr. Su knows the origin of the demon, I wonder if you can tell me the way to subdue the inner demons?"
Jiang Yan looked at these two with leisure, smiled and said: "Since you already know that the heart demon is the seven-aperture exquisite heart before Bi Gan, it is naturally best to ask Bi Gan to come down to clean it up, after all, the The heart comes out of his body, and he will definitely take care of it."
"This..." Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu looked at each other: "Young Master Su doesn't know something. After Bi Gan became a god, he seldom goes out. Now he can't be found for a while, but at night The inner demon will definitely come out to harm people, and we still need a solution as soon as possible."
"There is no way, and I don't know how to get rid of the demon. I just reluctantly used the bottle to take him in, but the bottle is not in my hands now. This matter cannot be resolved in a day or two."
Coming to Jiang Yan made Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu even more depressed. It would be easy to say if it was just another monster, but it was Bigan's heart. Who knows if he is still connected with Bigan's blood, if that is the case , as long as Bigan survives, the demon will never die.
Jiang Yan has his own plan for all of this. Anyway, it was verified last night. With the bead chain he gave, the inner demon can't do anything to Su Meiniang, so he can take his time.
I underestimated the power of the inner demons before, and the bottle was not made properly. This time, it will take a few days to make a more powerful bottle to contain the inner demons. At that time, hand it over to Zhong Kui and the others, and the inner demons will never see the light of day again , let alone what to do with them.
After leaving the restaurant, the servants of Huang's family invited Jiang Yan to go home, went to Huang's house, and told about Taishou Huang's affairs.
Huang Bingcheng didn't expect Huang Taishou to use bitter tricks, but the matter of using refugees to get merchants to give money was exactly as he had guessed.
"Brother, this money must never be given. Once it is given, it will be in Huang Taishou's hands alone. It must not be used on refugees." Huang Bingcheng said anxiously. He knew that although Jiang Yan was a businessman, he regarded money as dung. Officials gave as much as they wanted before.
Su Meiniang nodded in agreement at the side, it's okay to ask for money to do things, and it's okay to use money to buy peace, but like Huang Taishou's unhealthy behavior, once there will be a second time, and there will be countless reasons after that.
"It must be given, but it's not me." Jiang Yan looked at Huang Bingcheng and asked: "I gave all the money that officials asked for before, and I gave as much as they wanted, but you have seen what happened to them. It's just a matter of time, whether it's lightly enlisted in the army, or heavy beheading."
Huang Bingcheng has been familiar with the books of sages and sages since he was a child. He believes that the universe is clear and the laws of heaven are clear. The things in the world must be evil and good, but the problem lies in 'time'. There are only a few days left to live. Isn't it true that he has been oppressing the people all his life?
"Brother, I still feel that what you said was too easy. Those officials before who committed unrighteousness would kill themselves, but it is hard to guarantee that it will be like this every time."
Huang Bingcheng persuaded him earnestly, and Jiang Yan also told him the truth directly, "It is true that those officials will kill themselves if they do many unrighteous actions, but the time, place and people are harmonious. It is useless to rely on heaven alone, and some human labor is needed."
"The merchants have met some friends outside these years, and the merchants are the fastest to spread rumors when they go around. When those rumors reach the emperor's ears, it's time for them to kill themselves."
Listening to Jiang Yan's words, Huang Bingcheng and Su Meiniang looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Before, they only knew that officials had a high chance of being punished in Suzhou City, but they didn't expect it to be because of this.
"So, it is worthwhile to use some money to obtain evidence of officials taking bribes."
"Looking at it from this point of view, the elder brother is thoughtful, and Bingcheng admires it." Huang Bingcheng saluted Jiang Yan, but he still had doubts in his heart, but now Su Meiniang couldn't ask directly, so as not to worry her.
What Jiang Yan said is just one of the methods. Even if the emperor is wise and hears some rumors, if he is a person with a solid foundation in the court, it is still difficult to overthrow him. The reason why he can succeed every time depends on Follow his own skills.
Use the way of dreaming to tell the emperor that since ancient times, there will be one or two taboos for those who can sit on the throne, so it is natural to use it well.
Huang Bingcheng asked Su Meiniang to prepare wine and dishes, and stayed with Jiang Yan for lunch at noon. After Su Meiniang went out, Huang Bingcheng asked: "According to the law, receiving gifts and giving gifts are the same crime in bribery cases. Brother, if you really do it in this way, I will definitely not be safe and sound now, please tell me clearly, so that I can be psychologically prepared."
Jiang Yan blinked. He didn't study the law after he came to this world, but he didn't notice it, "Because I didn't appear in the rumors that spread, and there was no evidence of my gift when I went to check, so I naturally It's safe and sound."
All his stores have clear accounts, including every expense in his family. The gifts he gave to those officials belonged to the officials themselves, and they did not go to his account at all. Naturally, there is no evidence of his gifts. , after all, verbal gifts are not considered gifts.
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Huang Bingcheng was a little relieved. It's not that he didn't trust Jiang Yan, but he was just worried that if something happened to Jiang Yan, his wife would worry about it. Now that Jiang Yan was cautious, there was nothing to worry about.
There is no crime in itself to be beautiful, but in the eyes of some people, beauty has become a disaster that leads to the collapse of a dynasty. How innocent, can a great fire be overthrown by only a little girl?
Jiang Yan looked not far away at the beautiful woman who was serving porridge to the passing refugees in front of the door. That was the person he wanted to protect in this world, his own sister Su Meiniang.
Jiang Yan's current surname is Su, and he is the son of a wealthy businessman in Suzhou City. His family has not many offshoots. His parents died young and only his brother and sister grew up in the family.
Su Meiniang, who was born as a fairy, met a young man named Huang Bingcheng during a trip. The two fell in love at first sight. Huang Bingcheng invited someone to the Su family to propose marriage. After marriage, Huang Bingcheng became the county of Suzhou City after passing the exam make.
The husband and wife are loving couples. There are not many people in the Huang family, only Huang Bingcheng's mother, Mrs. Huang, is also very kind. She treats Su Meiniang very well. The family is harmonious and beautiful. Happier than many people.
But in the third year after their marriage, the crisis appeared. Su Meiniang had a dream. In the dream, she was Su Daji, the favorite concubine of King Zhou hundreds of years ago.
Su Meiniang's dream was not dreamed for no reason, but because of her heart. In order to kill Bigan, Su Daji, who was possessed by a nine-tailed fox, lied that she had a heart disease and needed Bigan's exquisite heart to survive.
King Zhou ordered Bigan to dig out his heart without saying a word, but the heart flew away after Bigan died.
After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, Bigan and others became immortals, but the exquisite heart with seven apertures was left forever in a dark swamp. Hundreds of years later, it has become a heart demon, ready to find The old Su Daji took revenge.
From the heart demon's point of view, Su Meiniang and Su Daji have the same appearance, and she is the reincarnation of Su Daji, so it wants Su Meiniang to pay the price.
Together with the heart demon came Tianshi Zhong Kui and his two sworn brothers, but the heart demon was He Bigan's heart demon. .
As a result, Su Meiniang left her husband Huang Bingcheng and lived in a brothel. Huang Bingcheng also lost his official position because he refused to let his uncle Huang Taishou blaspheme Su Meiniang.
In the end, it was Su Meiniang who scratched her beautiful face in front of her demons, so she recruited Bigan to clean up her demons in person. Su Meiniang and Huang Bingcheng's family were reunited. In the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva restored Su Meiniang's appearance.
This ending is considered a good ending, but in this story, Su Meiniang didn't have to bear those things. She is Su Meiniang, just an ordinary mortal. Even though she was Su Daji in her previous life, she was also possessed by a nine-tailed fox. What you do is involuntary.
The heart demon clearly knew that she was only Su Daji, and that it was the nine-tailed fox who killed him. Even when he was hurting Su Meiniang, he met the real nine-tailed fox who killed him. He still put those things on Su Meiniang, which is even more ridiculous What's more, he also teamed up with Nine-Tailed Fox.
There is also Bigan, who lost his seven-aperture exquisite heart during his lifetime, and continued to be a heartless person after he became a fairy, and he would not be moved even if that heart demon was at work. Maybe in the seriousness of the gods, human life is like a waste, and one died. There are tens of thousands of human beings.
Human beings will never become extinct, and if one dies, there will be tens of thousands of human beings who will continue to support them, and as long as there are always offerings, they will never disappear in the world.
"Brother, why do you have time to come here?" Su Meiniang came to Jiang Yan and asked after serving the porridge.
"Passing by, stop and take a look when you see you serving porridge here."
Speaking of porridge, Su Meiniang sighed, "Recently, many refugees have entered the city, and my husband is also very worried about this matter, and I don't know when it will be resolved."
"Just do your best, you and I are just mortals, without that much divine power, tell Bingcheng not to worry too much." There is never less suffering in the world, but the difference is whether it happens in front of your eyes, whether you can see it or not.
"How can Xianggong listen to him? There are more and more refugees, and the prefect scolded him yesterday." Su Meiniang said with a sad face.
Jiang Yan gave her three bead chains, "I asked eminent monks to consecrate these three strings in a Buddhist temple. The three of you in your family wear them one by one. They can keep you safe and drive away evil spirits. It's not peaceful recently, so everyone should be careful."
"I see, thank you, brother."
The consecration of the three-string bead chain is fake, but he injected spiritual power into it, exorcising evil spirits is real, as long as it is not for the kind of demons who have mastered demon skills for thousands of years, they can't get close at all. Bigan died less than 1000 years ago, theoretically. It is not difficult to say that it is difficult to resist demons.
As long as you can't completely resist it, it's okay. As long as a monster approaches, he will feel it immediately and can rush over in time.
When Jiang Yan returned home, he entered the space and began to make his magic weapon. According to the memory center, the day when the demon went to find Su Meiniang is not far away. Jiang Yan has been practicing since he came to this world, but he has never taken the initiative to go to the swamp to find his heart. magic.
The heart demon has cultivated for nearly a thousand years in the place where demons gather, but he has only cultivated in this world for a few hundred years, but he is not necessarily the opponent of the heart demon in terms of cultivation, after all, even the celestial master appointed by the Jade Emperor can use it no way.
Bigan has become a god, as long as Bigan is still alive, the inner demons will not be destroyed, so he needs the help of a magic weapon, a magical tool that will make him never have the possibility of re-entering the world even if he cannot directly eliminate the inner demons.
In the forest at night, a female Taoist priest wearing a purple-gray Taoist robe was walking in the forest. The evil spirit all over her body could not be concealed. Zhong Kui and the other three saw the evil spirit from a distance above the clouds, and were about to chase after it, when suddenly there was a wave of evil spirits from the other side. A disgusting bloody aura came over, more than a hundred times stronger than the monster's aura on the ground.
The three hurriedly chased after him, but the demonic aura was fleeting, and the three of them disappeared after chasing, only encountering the corpse of a man whose heart had been dug out.
And looking at the expression on the man's face that has not disappeared, it can be seen that he must have had some sweet dreams, and lost his life in ecstasy.
"Brother, the heart demon disappeared after entering Suzhou City. Could it be that there is some hiding place in Suzhou City?" Liu Hanyan looked around, and he couldn't detect any demonic aura. There must be something more powerful blocking it Keep it there so they won't notice it.
Zhong Kui also thought so, but Suzhou City said it was big or small, and trying to find out where the demons are hiding here is like finding a needle in a haystack. Now it seems that they can only sit still and wait for the demons to come out again Time to catch it again.
Jiang Yan watched the three of them live in the inn from a distance. According to the legend, Zhong Kui won the first prize in the examination, but because of his ugly appearance, the emperor did not recognize him as the top pick, so Zhong Kui hit the pillar and died.
Knowing Zhong Kui's death, his two sworn brothers, Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu, also obeyed the oath of that day, 'not to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same month'.
After Zhong Kui's death, he was named a Heavenly Master by the Jade Emperor. Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu also became Sanxians, and they followed Zhong Kui to kill demons with him.
In my memory, Wang Fuqu knelt down to ask Guanyin for help for Su Meiniang, and was struck by lightning for this. Fortunately, he was an immortal so he was not injured.
Jiang Yan looked in the direction of the Su family. Zhong Kui and the others didn't see it a step later. He had been in the city but he saw it. The demon is now at the Su family.
But Su Meiniang has the bead chain he gave, and the heart demon should not be able to recall Su Meiniang's time to Su Meiniang so easily.
About a quarter of an hour later, the heart demon came out of Su Mansion and headed out of the city. Jiang Yan immediately followed, and at the same time made a noise that alarmed Zhong Kui and the others. Three more helpers would be good, although they couldn't completely get rid of it. Devil.
Jiang Yan is just a mortal in this life, and the people around him are also mortals. He doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of those gods and ghosts.
Follow the heart demon all the way to the Taoist temple outside the city, the heart demon has no real body, just a mass of black mist, and you can vaguely see the crimson heart hidden in the mist.
The three of Zhong Kui chased after them and attacked the heart demon. Zhong Kui had the Demon Subduing Sword bestowed by the Jade Emperor in his hand, and Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu also had weapons in their hands.
Jiang Yan was in the dark. Seeing that Zhong Kui and the others were about to be defeated, he took out his weapon and threw it at the heart demon. If everything goes well, the matter will be over tonight.
Zhong Kui and the others saw a white light attacking the heart demon from nowhere, and the heart demon immediately groaned and howled in pain, and the black energy around them tended to gradually decrease.
"What's going on here?" Wang Fuqu asked in a daze as he watched this scene. He was not a scholar in the first place, and he was not smarter than his two elder brothers. He was a little puzzled by this sudden scene.
Liu Hanyan looked around for a week, and finally his eyes fell on Jiang Yan, who was hiding his figure among the thick branches, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He didn't see any aura or demon energy in Jiang Yan, so he is a mortal body. of mortals?
Regardless of his exposure, Jiang Yan continued to chant the spell, and a steady stream of spiritual power rushed towards the magic weapon in the black mist.
The black mist gradually decreased, and everyone could see that a bottle was absorbing it in the black mist. However, when they saw that the black mist was about to be sucked up, a huge long arm suddenly stretched out from the side, directly Take away the bottle.
The bottle left the heart demon, and the heart demon quickly flew into the distance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was too late for Zhong Kui and others to chase after him.
The person who reached out to grab Jiang Yan's bottle didn't show up at all. He was in the grass and only stretched out a hand. Jiang Yan stabbed him with a sword and there was nothing. He also slipped away, but Jiang Yan already knew who took the bottle. .
"My servant, Zhong Kui, these are my two Yiyi brothers, Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu, I don't know how to call you." Seeing that he could not catch up with the inner demon, Zhong Kui came to Jiang Yan and asked.
"Su Jiangyan, Tianshi Zhong has admired his name for a long time." Jiang Yan just made a noise to let Zhong Kui come out, just to cooperate with him. Zhong Kui is the Heavenly Master of Exorcing Demons personally appointed by the Jade Emperor, and it is justified for him to get rid of the demons.
Zhong Kui looked Jiang Yan up and down, his appearance was very clear, and there was a sense of nobility around him, but he didn't see his fairy bones, but how could a mortal be able to drive such a powerful magic weapon?
"Young Master Su, you can recognize the heart demon just now. We brothers only met it today. We saw him steal a man's heart, so we called it the heart demon." Jiang Yan has a magic weapon to deal with the heart demon, so maybe he knows The origin of the demon.
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows. It turns out that Zhong Kui still doesn't know the origin of the heart demon, "Master Zhong Tian is a god, and he must have known Bigan who became a fairy hundreds of years ago. That heart was dug out by the nine-tailed fox back then." That heart, the resentment accumulated over the years is too deep to have a demonic nature, and it has become a demon."
The three of Zhong Kui were shocked when they were released. They naturally knew Bigan, but firstly, they had not been immortal for many years, and secondly, since they became immortal, they spent more time walking in the world, casting down demons and eliminating demons in the world, so He is not familiar with Bigan.
So now they still have doubts about what Jiang Yan said, and Jiang Yan doesn't explain much to them. There is nothing to explain this kind of thing, as long as Zhong Kui investigates a little bit, it will be clear.
"Master Su's magic weapon to deal with the inner demon was taken away. I wonder if Mr. Su has a telepathic connection with that magic weapon? How about we help Mr. Su get back the magic weapon?" Even if the person is not with the devil, he is not a good person.
Zhong Kui's responsibility is to slay demons and eliminate demons. It is his duty to eliminate all evil monsters. Now that the demons are harming people, it is also his duty to eliminate the monsters that help the demons.
"No need, I'll go and find it myself. Master Zhong should think of ways to get rid of the inner demons. If it continues to harm people, there will be no peace in the city of Suzhou."
"Naturally, Mr. Su, rest assured, it is imperative to get rid of the inner demons." Zhong Kui cupped his fists and said, then took Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu to search for the traces of the inner demons.
Jiang Yan glanced at the Taoist temple not far away. All the female Taoist priests lived in this Taoist temple. Compared with the nunnery, there is no need to shave their hair to become a monk here. The nine-tailed fox is best at charming people. The stewed egg head looks much better, and naturally it is also more charming.
Lin Xiaodai is the nine-tailed fox possessed by Su Daji hundreds of years ago. She was ordered by Empress Nuwa to charm King Zhou and make cholera superseded, but later she really became the queen of King Zhou and enjoyed With the most prosperity and wealth in the world, coupled with the love between men and women with King Zhou, she gradually forgot Nuwa's orders.
After the death of King Zhou, Su Daji, who was the queen, was captured. Jiang Ziya swung the demon-slaying sword and cut off Su Daji's head. Nine-tailed fox, because he has nine lives, he survives.
Originally, one life is enough to die, which is irrelevant to Nine-Tailed Fox. After several decades of practice, it will be cultivated, and there are still nine lives, but who asked Jiang Ziya to use the Demon Slaying Sword to directly kill her Most of the cultivation base was cut off.
After several hundred years of practice, she has only recovered half of the nine-tailed fox demon back then. In these hundreds of years, she has been using men to restore her cultivation, harvesting yang and nourishing yin, and she has never missed a hand for hundreds of years. , every man would willingly let her suck away the yang energy, and in the end he would die.
Lin Xiaodai looked at the bottle full of black mist in her hand, another man died on her body tonight, and gave her life for her, but before she had gone far, she saw the inner demon rushing over and took it away the man's heart.
She felt very familiar at the first sight of the heart demon. After seeing clearly that it was a heart, Lin Xiaodai knew that the heart belonged to Bigan. Back then, Bigan killed her sons and grandchildren. Qian paid his life for this, but he didn't expect that after hundreds of years, his heart would actually have a cultivation base.
With hatred, she was worried that the inner demon would attack her. Her current cultivation level is only half of what it used to be. If she recovers completely, she won't be so afraid.
Coincidentally, when Zhong Kui and the others were cleaning up the inner demons, she met her. Seeing that the bottle was about to burst, she quickly took it over. If it burst, the black mist would return to the inner demons.
The one hiding in the tree seemed capable, and she might be able to seek refuge.
However, Lin Xiaodai waited until the middle of the night, and still did not wait for anyone to come to look for it. Isn't there a connection between this magic weapon and its owner?If the master wants to find it, he will be able to find it, so now the master doesn't want it?
Jiang Yan knew where Lin Xiaodai lived, so he naturally knew that the bottle was taken by Lin Xiaodai. At that time, there was a cloud of black mist, and Zhong Kui and the others couldn't see clearly from a distance, but he could feel that the bottle was not strong, and now he was rushing to make it overnight. The other bottle can hold the demon's bottle, so Lin Xiaodai naturally has no time to worry about it.
Besides, in Jiang Yan's memory, she was originally with the heart demon, and Su Meiniang was made things difficult by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Huang, because Lin Xiaodai used magic to make Mrs. Huang see that the porridge Su Meiniang made for her was full of bugs. He also entered Mrs. Huang's body, beat and scolded Su Meiniang, and made her kneel in the snow until she fainted.
Under such circumstances, how could Jiang Yan take the initiative to find Lin Xiaodai? As for whether the bottle in Lin Xiaodai's hand will be taken away by the heart demon, Jiang Yan doesn't care if she returns to her previous appearance.
Facts have proved that the method of using a bottle to contain the demon is feasible. Now that you can collect it once, you can accept the next time. It is nothing if the demon gets the bottle and the black mist recovers.
The next day, as soon as Jiang Yan came out of the space, the housekeeper handed over an invitation card, saying that Taishou Huang asked him to do it, and the place was in a restaurant in the city.
Huang Taishou is Huang Bingcheng's uncle, but he is not a real uncle. He is just a person in the family who should be called an uncle in terms of seniority. The prefect, the two are not close.
This time Taishou Huang invited him, probably it was a grand banquet.
"Master, do you want to report to Taishou Huang that you are not at home after going out?" The butler has been in the Su family for many years, and he still knows some things very well.
Huang Taishou is the prefect, and he has already set his sights on him. He said that if he goes out and hides for a while, can he hide for a lifetime?
Jiang Yan chuckled, "No, I just went to meet him."
Huang Taishou has only been an official in Suzhou City for half a year. Jiang Yan has not dealt with him in the past six months. This time is a good opportunity.
At the same time, Huang Bingcheng of the Huang family received the news that Taishou Huang was hosting a banquet for Jiang Yan in the restaurant, so he was shocked and rushed over.
Su Meiniang stopped him, "Don't go, Mr. Huang, Taishou Huang didn't invite you. You are worried that he will cause trouble for you. Brother, he has rich experience and will be fine."
"It's not a matter of experience or inexperience. You don't know that Huang Taishou has hosted other merchants in Suzhou City a few days ago. Now I'm afraid that he will use those refugees in the city to make a fuss and deceive himself to fill his own pocket. .”
Su Meiniang was a little surprised, she didn't expect the matter to be so serious, she thought it was just asking her elder brother to pay some extra tax money, her elder brother told her that it was nothing to spend money on, it was just a little money, That's why she wasn't worried.
But if you use refugees to make a fuss, take money from merchants, and then can't really use the money on refugees, then it is too abominable. It has nothing to do with the amount of money, but bad behavior.
"Sir, I know you're in a hurry, but it's because of this that you can't go. Anyway, the elder brother won't give the money directly. Why don't you wait for the elder brother to come back from the restaurant and invite him to the house, how about you talk to the elder brother clearly?"
Huang Bingcheng nodded, that's all he could do.
He knew that Huang Taishou didn't like him. In fact, before Huang Taishou came to Suzhou City to take office half a year ago, he didn't know that he had such an uncle. When he saw him, he went home and checked the genealogy. It's just that the fifth server is about to be released.
However, even if they are close uncles, they have different ways and do not conspire with each other, so after more than half a year, their relationship has not become much closer because they are relatives.
"Come here, Mr. Su, please use it. This is the old wine that I asked the store to bring out for many years. The best bamboo leaf green, Mr. Su, don't be angry." Just as Jiang Yan took his seat, Governor Huang couldn't wait to get someone to pour him wine.
Jiang Yan smelled the wine in the wine glass, the taste was extremely weak, maybe it hadn't even been in a year, let alone aged.
He raised his eyes to see the smiling face of Huang Taishou, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "It's a great honor for Huang Taishou to host the banquet in person."
"Mr. Su is angry. I have been in Suzhou City for a long time, and I have always heard that the Su family is a big taxpayer. I should be very honored. The place where I took office before was full of profiteers who only thought about how to evade taxes. It is really a blessing for Suzhou City to meet someone like Mr. Su for the first time."
Huang Taishou directly drank a glass of wine, and said: "A while ago, the Japanese officials discussed with colleagues in Suzhou City that they will reward merchants who pay taxes to a certain amount. I don't know what Mr. Su wants. As long as If I can help, I will definitely help.”
How hypocritical and hypocritical this statement is, I am afraid that after he brings it up, he will say how much he is short of the amount, and he will have to wait for him to take out the money.
"The people are the people, and the government is the government. Naturally, what the government gives is what it is. There is no reason to ask for it."
Jiang Yan took the jug on the table and poured wine into Huang Taishou's empty wine glass, and in a place where no one could see, a pill entered the wine glass, and the medicine melted when it met water. It has a different taste.
"Please, Lord Prefect."
No one saw Jiang Yan's movements, but the gods did. Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu came in together when Jiang Yan came in. They just used the Hidden God Art so others couldn't see it.
Wang Fuqu has a violent temper, and when he sees Jiang Yanruo drugging, he will come forward to stop him. Although the eunuch has a corrupt official face, he can't just poison him to death like this, but Liu Hanyan stopped him quickly.
Although he doesn't have much contact with Jiang Yan, he can feel that Jiang Yan is not a person who caressing about human life. It's better to wait and see how this kind of thing changes.
"Master Su must have seen the refugees that appeared in the city recently. These refugees came to Suzhou City. I don't care if I can't bear it, but I have no power to control them."
Huang Taishou said with a sigh, "To be honest, Mr. Su, this is not a good old wine at all, it's just an ordinary drink. This official and even the Yamen are ashamed of their pockets. Otherwise, this official would not easily get along with Su. The young master spoke."
So is this the start of playing the bitterness card?
Jiang Yan looked at Huang Taishou quietly and didn't answer, Huang Taishou said tearfully again: "If Mr. Su can borrow money to help the Yamen tide over the difficulties, the Suzhou government will be very grateful. There will be someone who can help Mr. Su in the future." The place will definitely do my part.”
"It is my blessing to be able to help those refugees. I don't need to borrow money. I don't know how much money the yamen needs to take care of the refugees. I just pay it all."
Eunuch Huang was taken aback, he didn't expect Jiang Yan to be so happy, he had only heard that Jiang Yan "honored" officials with a lot of money, this time he really saw it, no wonder that boy Huang Bingcheng is the son of a family but married the sister of a merchant , the relationship is because the uncle is generous.
"Young Master Su is so benevolent and righteous that I am really ashamed. This glass of wine is toast to Young Master Su."
"It's about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and it's also for my own good." Jiang Yan drank the wine in his glass with a smile.
It is true that he has been generous with previous officials, but the wool comes from the sheep, and the money of "filial piety" officials is taken from the officials, but they themselves are more greedy, and they have long forgotten how much money they have. Jiang Yan helped them The left hand is on the right hand.
As for those who found out, they were greedy for money. They didn't dare to blatantly find the thieves. They were worried that the matter would be exposed, so they could only admit that they were unlucky.
Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu felt very strange looking at this scene where the adjutants and the people were enjoying themselves.
"I said that Mr. Su really has a lot of money and nowhere to spend it? What kind of eunuch is obviously asking for money, but he even gave it?" Wang Fuqu looked at Liu Hanyan in disbelief and asked.
He believed that the Suzhou government government had no money, but he did not believe that the prefect Huang had no money. The finger rings on his hands, the hairpins on his head, the emerald jade on his boots, and the jade pendant around his waist, all of these were good things. Things, aren’t they all piled up with money?
If he really loves the people as much as he has shown, why does he want merchants' money instead of his own?
It is obvious that he took office to ask the local merchants to "respect", but the refugees just happened to come, so it would be better to use it as a cover, so that there will be an explanation when they are questioned in the future.
Liu Hanyan didn't think that Jiang Yan would obediently give the money. Jiang Yan gave him medicine before Huang Taishou said much. Although he didn't know what the effect of the medicine was for, it was definitely not for Huang Taishou's body.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Eunuch Huang happily left, and then Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu appeared, "Dare to ask Mr. Su, what is the medicine in the cup of Eunuch Huang?"
"Jie Se Wan." Jiang Yan said truthfully.
In my memory, this prefect Huang covets Su Meiniang's beauty very much. Now he has asked him to quit womanizing completely. He will feel nauseous when he sees beautiful women. If he stays away from women's sex in the future, he can enjoy the beauty of ordinary people by cultivating quietly. Shou, if he can't, then his result may not be very good.
Liu Hanyan thought of several kinds, but this one was the only one she didn't think of.
"Did you come to see me?" I met the two of them at the door just now, because Huang Taishou's people had already seen him, so he asked them to wait for a while, and deal with Huang Taishou's affairs first.
"Brother went to check the origin of the demon yesterday, and it was indeed the seven-apertured exquisite heart that Mr. Su said about Bigan, but the elder brother has not found a way to deal with the demon. Since Mr. Su knows the origin of the demon, I wonder if you can tell me the way to subdue the inner demons?"
Jiang Yan looked at these two with leisure, smiled and said: "Since you already know that the heart demon is the seven-aperture exquisite heart before Bi Gan, it is naturally best to ask Bi Gan to come down to clean it up, after all, the The heart comes out of his body, and he will definitely take care of it."
"This..." Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu looked at each other: "Young Master Su doesn't know something. After Bi Gan became a god, he seldom goes out. Now he can't be found for a while, but at night The inner demon will definitely come out to harm people, and we still need a solution as soon as possible."
"There is no way, and I don't know how to get rid of the demon. I just reluctantly used the bottle to take him in, but the bottle is not in my hands now. This matter cannot be resolved in a day or two."
Coming to Jiang Yan made Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu even more depressed. It would be easy to say if it was just another monster, but it was Bigan's heart. Who knows if he is still connected with Bigan's blood, if that is the case , as long as Bigan survives, the demon will never die.
Jiang Yan has his own plan for all of this. Anyway, it was verified last night. With the bead chain he gave, the inner demon can't do anything to Su Meiniang, so he can take his time.
I underestimated the power of the inner demons before, and the bottle was not made properly. This time, it will take a few days to make a more powerful bottle to contain the inner demons. At that time, hand it over to Zhong Kui and the others, and the inner demons will never see the light of day again , let alone what to do with them.
After leaving the restaurant, the servants of Huang's family invited Jiang Yan to go home, went to Huang's house, and told about Taishou Huang's affairs.
Huang Bingcheng didn't expect Huang Taishou to use bitter tricks, but the matter of using refugees to get merchants to give money was exactly as he had guessed.
"Brother, this money must never be given. Once it is given, it will be in Huang Taishou's hands alone. It must not be used on refugees." Huang Bingcheng said anxiously. He knew that although Jiang Yan was a businessman, he regarded money as dung. Officials gave as much as they wanted before.
Su Meiniang nodded in agreement at the side, it's okay to ask for money to do things, and it's okay to use money to buy peace, but like Huang Taishou's unhealthy behavior, once there will be a second time, and there will be countless reasons after that.
"It must be given, but it's not me." Jiang Yan looked at Huang Bingcheng and asked: "I gave all the money that officials asked for before, and I gave as much as they wanted, but you have seen what happened to them. It's just a matter of time, whether it's lightly enlisted in the army, or heavy beheading."
Huang Bingcheng has been familiar with the books of sages and sages since he was a child. He believes that the universe is clear and the laws of heaven are clear. The things in the world must be evil and good, but the problem lies in 'time'. There are only a few days left to live. Isn't it true that he has been oppressing the people all his life?
"Brother, I still feel that what you said was too easy. Those officials before who committed unrighteousness would kill themselves, but it is hard to guarantee that it will be like this every time."
Huang Bingcheng persuaded him earnestly, and Jiang Yan also told him the truth directly, "It is true that those officials will kill themselves if they do many unrighteous actions, but the time, place and people are harmonious. It is useless to rely on heaven alone, and some human labor is needed."
"The merchants have met some friends outside these years, and the merchants are the fastest to spread rumors when they go around. When those rumors reach the emperor's ears, it's time for them to kill themselves."
Listening to Jiang Yan's words, Huang Bingcheng and Su Meiniang looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Before, they only knew that officials had a high chance of being punished in Suzhou City, but they didn't expect it to be because of this.
"So, it is worthwhile to use some money to obtain evidence of officials taking bribes."
"Looking at it from this point of view, the elder brother is thoughtful, and Bingcheng admires it." Huang Bingcheng saluted Jiang Yan, but he still had doubts in his heart, but now Su Meiniang couldn't ask directly, so as not to worry her.
What Jiang Yan said is just one of the methods. Even if the emperor is wise and hears some rumors, if he is a person with a solid foundation in the court, it is still difficult to overthrow him. The reason why he can succeed every time depends on Follow his own skills.
Use the way of dreaming to tell the emperor that since ancient times, there will be one or two taboos for those who can sit on the throne, so it is natural to use it well.
Huang Bingcheng asked Su Meiniang to prepare wine and dishes, and stayed with Jiang Yan for lunch at noon. After Su Meiniang went out, Huang Bingcheng asked: "According to the law, receiving gifts and giving gifts are the same crime in bribery cases. Brother, if you really do it in this way, I will definitely not be safe and sound now, please tell me clearly, so that I can be psychologically prepared."
Jiang Yan blinked. He didn't study the law after he came to this world, but he didn't notice it, "Because I didn't appear in the rumors that spread, and there was no evidence of my gift when I went to check, so I naturally It's safe and sound."
All his stores have clear accounts, including every expense in his family. The gifts he gave to those officials belonged to the officials themselves, and they did not go to his account at all. Naturally, there is no evidence of his gifts. , after all, verbal gifts are not considered gifts.
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Huang Bingcheng was a little relieved. It's not that he didn't trust Jiang Yan, but he was just worried that if something happened to Jiang Yan, his wife would worry about it. Now that Jiang Yan was cautious, there was nothing to worry about.
