Chapter 58: The End of Penglai Yuzhi
A rare guest was welcomed in the bamboo forest, and the carriage slowly drove in under the protection of the knights.
A young nobleman came from the car, with a box containing things, and came to visit the beauty who lived here.
Takeoto respectfully welcomed the person into the small yard, Kaguya was waiting.
Kaguya, who had just washed her hair, didn't dress up, but simply draped her hair behind her. Even Kaguya, who was barely dressed, had a special charm, which made the visitor obsessed.
"Your Highness, did you find Penglai Jade Branch this time?"
After a few months, Kaguya is actually very interested, and his original interest is almost gone at this time, just wanting to get rid of the matter as soon as possible.
So, she seemed a little impatient.
"Penglai Jade Branches cannot appear in the human world. This person must have been forged from somewhere. I don't know if Onmyoji found out about this."
I was thinking in my heart that there was only a faint smile on my face, just a perfunctory conversation. Kaguya's smile made Prince Cheji dizzy.
Prince Chekichi, who was attracted by Kaguya's beauty, had almost lost his mind. When he heard Kaguya's words, he was like listening to Xianyue, so he could not react.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Prince Cheshi, who woke up from his dream, opened the exquisite gift box he carried with him and put it on the table. The inside and outside of the box were covered with satin, silky, soft, precious and exquisite.
Lying inside the box is a small branch, which looks like a small piece of cut from the treetops, with a golden-dried white jade fruit, and the leaves are jadeite. This small branch is only three or four inches long and has white jade all over the branches, and the leaves are green. The small fruits hang down, which are also carved from white jade.
Prince Cheki saw Kaguya hold this jade branch in his palm and play with it, watching it repeatedly, but he just didn't say a word.
"How is this? This is the branch I searched through the sea charts and legendary notes of my predecessors on a boat, and finally found the fairy island and sought out the branches."
Kaguya just said no, lowered his head and tried to deal with him, but he just ignored him.
Prince Che Chi doesn’t understand what she means yet, what is this reply?
Immediately afterwards, I saw a noise outside.
Immediately afterwards, Zhucaiweng came in, his face a little unfair.
"Your Highness, you are here to look for you."
Prince Che Chi didn't understand why, so he just apologized politely and went out to meet the visitor.
From beginning to end, Kaguya never looked up at him again.
Outside, there were more than a dozen craftsmen. Under the leadership of three officials, they held sticks tied with petition notes and beat drums all the way. There were also a large number of onlookers following the road.
When Prince Che Chi saw them, his face immediately became gloomy, so dark that it was about to rain.
"We are favored by His Highness the Prince, and spent a hundred days to build jade branches. We invested no less than 100,000 yuan in total. We paid 300,000 yuan in manual social engagements. Please pay the remuneration in time."
A craftsman in charge came forward and said loudly that he took this opportunity to make the prince pay back the debt under the witness of his sweetheart and many children of the nobles. Furthermore, this is just an ordinary prince. After today, his reputation for false fraud will be widely spread. I don’t know what the outcome will be!
Thinking of the vague hints from the big man when he came, he was so eager that these craftsmen were in a hurry and shouted loudly again.
"Please pay the bill as much as possible!"
Prince Che Chi couldn't say a word, and pushed the crowd away with a slight face.
"Who instructs you?"
Although he asked, he spoke in a certain tone and instantly thought of several possible candidates, including his brothers and sisters.
"It's not going to end now!"
"We must avoid it for a while and wait until the storm is over."
As a prince, he was naturally a little cunning after being influenced by his eyes. He grew up in the palace and would not be unable to see the current situation clearly at this time. This matter has put him in an unfavorable situation and must be cautious.
With a slight look, his coachman and guards understood it. They took out the money bag and gave it to them directly. Then, the group hurriedly drove away in the carriage.
"A few untouchables, let's see if you have any life to save this money!"
Prince Che Chi is not a fool either, he has many thoughts in his mind.
"I cannot do it easily, but naturally some people will do it! If you want money, you have to have the life to spend it!"
This trick is to use a knife to kill people. I think that such a sum of money was obtained by several craftsmen with very low ranks. What is the difference between holding money and a child living through a downtown market?
As soon as the wallet appeared, it was indeed noticed by many people. At that time, a few sneaky people slipped away quietly. Among the onlookers, there were also many wandering warriors. Such a sum of money could be considered a huge sum of money at this time, and it was worth a lot of people taking the risk to take action.
As for Kaguya, he pretended that this embarrassing thing had not happened. Prince Cheji missed a move this time and lost his face, so he naturally would not be shameless here.
Kaguya Hime didn't care about it, and she thought that Prince Cheshi had never been here.
Zhucaiweng closed the door tightly, and all the noise was locked outside.
The craftsmen were so happy that Prince Cheji left his own wallet, which was at least a few hundred gold, far exceeding the reward they had agreed in advance.
These craftsmen were thinking about the promises of the big man. Although they were just small housekeepers, they were also amazing people. Naturally, the big man himself could not come to give such trivial matters in person.
However, before these people had walked a few miles with the money, they were caught up by people who were jealous of the money. Many people saw the full wallet just now.
The masked man who had been ambushing them all to the ground, plundered all the money and left.
I thought I could make a fortune, but I finally lost my life. If it weren't for the fact that a few people had some official status, I would have been afraid that I would even have my life.
A dozen craftsmen with a sad face had to come to the door and ask for a visit to Prince Shi Zuo.
The housekeeper gave the beggar some money and threw them all out.
"These people have betrayed their promises and are now abandoned, and they are just a retribution for the world."
"You also believe in the Buddhist theory of retribution?"
Kaguya and Haruki watched what happened in the distance through the water mirror, sounds and images as if in front of their eyes.
"The theory of retribution is not accurate. It did not exist at first. Just because of the desire of people to have karma and retribution, a miracle that can be called karma and retribution gradually emerges."
"But most of the time, this kind of cause and effect does not exist. It can only restrain those who believe in it. Those who believe in it will receive the consequences, while those who do not believe in it will have no consequences."
"It is precisely because many people do not believe in the strict and harsh system of cause and effect, that Buddhism does not cover the sky with one hand. When the whole world truly believes in cause and effect, the world is almost controlled by Buddhism. It is a great merit for individuals, and it is enough to give birth to several Buddhas who truly transcend the world. For a country, such strict cause and effect is a huge poisonous sore, which greatly hinders the development of the world, which is a terrible thing."
"But this has little to do with us. Naturally, there will be other sects in Buddhism that will not let it dominate."
"I've almost finished it now, where is the reward?"
Harumaki handed over the fire-red fire rat fur to Kaguya. This was his bag from Fujiwara House, and the authentic product had been taken by him.
"The fire rat Qiuwa·····Penglai jade branches are fake, and the stone bowl in front of the Buddha is fake. The person who went to get Yan Zi'anbei was seriously ill at home. It is said that the person who was looking for Dragon's treasure jade was shipwrecked. Now the head of the Fujiwara family is left. If he is solved, he can be purified for a while."
Kaguya gently tiptoed, hugged Haruki's neck, closed his eyes, and kissed deeply.
Then, he took a step back and covered half of his face with a round fan, his eyes circling, and he said with a smile.
"In this way, I have fulfilled my promise!"
