"Smells like alcohol? Is this person fat?" I subconsciously thought of Monk Lingguang.

"Not fat." The officer shook his head.

Datou was the first to react, "Sir, is he the dog-legged monk you were fighting with? Although he accepted his defeat openly that day, he proposed to have another fight with you, and you agreed at the time."

"It should be him, let's go and take a look." He stepped forward, followed by Da Tou and Yang Kai.

While walking, he said to Yang Kai, "Brother Yang, don't stay at Yushitai at night. After dinner, go back to the other courtyard. You can go back to eat if you want. Let them cook it for you. In addition, remember when you go back

Tell the people below that if the master comes back and you are not here, let them explain the reason to the master and let him rest in another courtyard."

Yang Kai didn't expect that he would still be thinking about his own trivial matters despite his busy schedule. He was very moved but he was clumsy in words, "Oh."

"Also, I don't like to be restrained. When I was in Longhu Mountain, I didn't have morning and evening classes every day. I won't go to court in the future," he said. "Brother Fu is from the sixth grade and can't go to court."

, you are from the fifth rank and can go to the court to discuss matters. You will have to work hard from now on. Go there every day to listen to what they say in the palace, and then come back and tell me."

"Okay." Yang Kai nodded.

Seeing the surprised expression on the faces of the government servants who were following him, Datou reminded him in a low voice, "Sir, Mr. Yang and I know that you do not regard us as subordinates, but in officialdom, it is inappropriate to call us brothers. From now on, you can call us directly

's name."

"Yes, yes." Yang Kai nodded in agreement.

Feeling that what Datou said made sense, he didn't object and asked casually, "Brother Fu, what is your name?"

Datou shook his head and said, "I really don't have a name, I just know my surname is Fu, so just call me Datou. I feel good."

The three of them walked as they talked, and soon arrived at the door. As expected, the person standing at the door was none other than the dog-legged monk Shi Xuanming.

Shi Xuanming stood in the middle of the gate, while several government servants responsible for guarding the gate stood aside with embarrassed faces.

Seeing the arrival, the government officials hurriedly came to greet him, "Sir, this monk called you by your name and just wanted you to come out and fight with him. We drove him away, but he just stood there, as if he had taken root under his feet.

."

"Yes, sir, you should be more careful. This demon monk is invulnerable and really powerful."

He waved his hands to the officials, then quickly walked over to Shi Xuanming, "Master Xuanming, why are you here?"

Although Shi Xuanming is a monk, he does not have the pedantry and discipline of a monk. He smiled heartily and said, "Haha, little Taoist priest, congratulations to you. You have married a wife and become an official. Double happiness."

"Haha, master, if you are interested in marrying a wife, I can ask someone to look for you. If you are interested in becoming an official, you only need to step through this door and you will be the head catcher of my Yushitai." He said with a smile, his impression of Shi Xuanming.

Very good. The reason why this person came to the stage on the day of the martial arts competition was purely because of his skills. After he came on stage, he took the initiative to say that he was neither for money nor for women. After he broke the golden bell that protected his body, this person immediately admitted defeat and left in a free and easy manner.

field.

"Excuse me, I'm a monk. I can't get a wife, and I don't need gold or silver," Shi Xuanming waved his hand and said, "I came here to fight with you today. I lost in a muddle last time. The more I think about it, the more depressed I am.

Stop talking nonsense and call us quickly."

"Master, it's unfortunate that we can't do it today," he shook his head and said, "You are superb in martial arts and have extensive knowledge. It will take a long time to compete with you, and I have already set a time with someone to go to the banquet. If I meet you

Discussing will inevitably waste time and break trust."

Although Shi Xuanming drank, he was not drunk. Hearing this, he did not embarrass him. "That's the wrong time for me to come. You go first. I'll come back another day."

After speaking, Shi Xuanming put his hands together and saluted, nodded to Yang Kai and Da Tou, then walked away.

"Hey, Master, where will you stay at night? If you don't have a place to stay, you can stay at Yushitai. There are plenty of rooms here." He urged him to stay.

"Thank you very much. Monks can't live anywhere." Shi Xuanming didn't look back.

Seeing that he lowered his hands and touched his waist but found nothing, Datou guessed that he wanted to take money, so he quickly took out a silver coin from his pocket and gave it to him.

He took the silver and threw it towards Shi Xuanming with his backhand.

Shi Xuanming heard the sound and raised his hand to catch it. When he saw it was an ingot of silver, he didn't throw it back. He threw it into the sleeve of his left arm and said, "Thank you."

When Shi Xuanming walked away, Datou whispered, "This dog-legged monk previously used the four Shaolin stunts of Vajra Palm, Duoluoye Finger, Iron Head Kung Fu, and Golden Bell Cover in a matter of seconds on the ring. According to me,

Seeing that this person knows far more than these four, I am definitely no match for this person. It will be quite difficult for Mr. Yang to defeat this person."

Yang Kai was also in the audience during the competition that day. Hearing Big Head's words, Yang Kai shook his head and said, "I can't beat this monk either."

He nodded slowly, "Even for a master of purple energy, it's not easy to defeat this person."

At this time, Shi Xuanming had disappeared on the west side of the street, and the three of them turned around and returned.

Until this time, there were still people outside the accounting room receiving their salaries. Chong Na was in charge of the treasury.

The old official waved his hand, and when the latter arrived, he whispered instructions and ordered him to keep two thousand taels of stolen silver confiscated during the day when registering and give it to Yang Kai and Datou for their expenses.

Both Yang Kai and Datou felt that this move was inappropriate, so they whispered advice and tried their best to stop it. However, their minds were made up, and they could only sigh helplessly.

"I don't know how long our officials will be able to serve. If one day we are convicted and removed from office, you will be able to live on with your money," he said.

"We understand your thoughts, but there is no airtight wall in the world, and the news may leak out." Datou was quite worried.

"I hope the news leaks out," he said casually.

The two of them didn't know why and looked at him in confusion.

He smiled and said, "A person without shortcomings is very scary and can easily arouse the fear of others."

Although they didn't say it clearly, the two of them roughly understood it. They looked at each other and said nothing more.

Returning to the backyard, he put on his casual clothes, took Young Master Hei out from the stable, went out of the house, mounted his horse, and went to Ni's house.

Since he was not in a hurry, he did not gallop on his horse. If it were someone else, he would have been overjoyed at the double happiness, but there was no joy in his heart, only worry. Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo came to beg for mercy in person in the afternoon, which made him feel very bad.

, because Gao Shizhong is a member of the eunuch party, Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo should know this very well, how could they get involved with this person.

However, there are several details in this matter that are worthy of scrutiny, that is, when he was staying at Baoqing Inn, a servant of the Gao family once sent him snacks under Zhang Mo's instruction, and the visitor also said that Master Gao was also a Taoist.

The relationship between believers and Longhu Mountain has always been very good.

The incident of sending snacks happened before the competition to recruit a bride. Zhang Mo dared to ask the servants of the Gao family to give him snacks, which shows that Zhang Mo and Zhang Shan were not afraid of others knowing that they were in Gao Shizhong's house, and they did not secretly block the news.

The eunuchs have spies, and the emperor naturally has spies. The emperor should also know that Longhushan has a good relationship with Gao Shizhong, but during the competition to recruit a bride, the emperor still secretly instructs Zhang Shan to pass on the news to him, allowing him to take the opportunity to eradicate the eunuchs' wings.

This shows that although Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo had many personal relationships with Gao Shizhong, they did not get involved with the eunuchs behind Gao Shizhong.

In addition to what Zhang Mo said to him the night before, Zhang Mo's position is also very clear, that is, he is incompatible with the eunuch party.

After comprehensively analyzing many details, we finally came to the conclusion that Longhushan had never thought of riding two boats and having both sides. They had nothing to do with the eunuchs, but only had a personal relationship with Gao Shizhong.

After thinking about this, the haze in his heart dissipated a lot, but he was still vaguely worried about Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo. Although the emperor knew that Longhushan was loyal to him, Longhushan had a personal relationship with Gao Shizhong, which was not a good thing.

, similar situations often happen in the market, for example, Zhang San and Li Si are enemies, Wang Wu and Zhang San are good friends, and Li Si is also a friend.

From Zhang San's point of view, he naturally cannot blame Wang Wu. If he blames Wang Wu for not continuing to be friends with Li Si, it would appear that he is narrow-minded and forcing others to do something difficult.

But what Zhang San wants to see most is that Wang Wu shares his hatred and will work with him to deal with Li Si.

At this time, the emperor is Zhang San, the high minister is Li Si, and Longhushan is Wang Wu. This method of Longhushan is very dangerous. The emperor may be very polite and polite to Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo, which leads them to

They didn't know enough about the emperor's temperament and thought that the emperor was very generous and wouldn't mind their personal relationship with Gao Shizhong.

But he has personally learned the emperor's methods. The emperor is not very magnanimous and is very suspicious. Although he behaves very magnanimously, deep down he still hopes that the people below him can be absolutely loyal, whether to the public or to others.

Everyone is absolutely consistent with him personally. If the people below cannot do it, the emperor may not show it, but he will definitely get sulky in his heart.

Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo's mistake was that they overestimated the emperor's magnanimity and magnanimity.

No one likes racking their brains to think about these things, and he is no exception, but now that he is in this position, he has to think and face it whether he wants to or not.

At this time, he began to understand why Chen Liqiu solemnly thanked him on behalf of the other three people during the banquet when he went to Longhu Mountain to see him. Just as Chen Liqiu said that day, Zhang Tianshi personally rescued him.

Later, he restored his master Luo Yangzi's Taoist status as a heavenly master. This was an exception and a favor. The master was alive in heaven and he was smiling and happy, but he owed Longhu Mountain a huge favor.

Chen Liqiu was older than him and could look further ahead than him. He could guess what he might face in the future. In Chen Liqiu's opinion, he had made a huge sacrifice for his master Luo Yangzi. He was the latest to enter the profession, but he made the greatest sacrifice.

The four people who had the most kindness from Master felt ashamed of him, so they thanked him very solemnly.

What I was thinking about was Longhu Mountain, and my destination was the Ni family. When I arrived in front of the Ni Mansion, I felt that the burden on my shoulders was a little heavier. Not only was I carrying Longhu Mountain on my back, I would also have to carry the Ni family in the future.

Already.

Without these loving relatives and friends, life would be meaningless. But once you have these relatives and friends who share weal and woe, you will inevitably be burdened.
