Chapter 1074. The Divine Stick is reborn.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
On this day, at three o'clock in the evening, Zhang Daoquan, the presiding officer of Tongji Temple, returned to his residence with a drunken smell of wine.
The distribution of residents in the capital has always been "rich in the east and expensive in the west, poor in the south and cheap in the north", most of the residents located in the west of the capital are high-ranking officials and nobles in the center of the temple, and the houses here are not only expensive, but also often have the situation that silver cannot be bought.
And Zhang Daoquan's residence is located in the west of the capital, and the area is not small, there are three entrances and three exits, which looks very pompous.
Just looking at this, you can know how prosperous Zhang Daoquan has been in the capital for more than a year.
In fact, the "Tongji Temple" led by Zhang Daoquan is now one of the most influential temples in Beizhili, and Zhang Daoquan has also become one of the leaders of the religious circles in the capital, with tens of thousands of believers, and there are many dignitaries in the imperial court.
Zhang Dao has all this today, of course, it is inseparable from Zhao Junchen's support.
For more than a year, Zhao Junchen not only secretly provided him with a large amount of silver, but also taught him several tricks that were enough to deceive the world, and also helped him settle the relationship between the Daolu Division and the Monk Lu Division, otherwise he would have been arrested by the government a long time ago with the nondescript set of doctrines he created.
Some time ago, several monasteries and Taoist temples in the capital were really not used to the shocking doctrines propagated by the "Tongji Temple", so they joined forces to sue the "Tongji Temple" to the Daolu Division and the Monk Lu Division, but because of Zhao Junchen's secret protection, this matter was still over.
The reason why Zhang Daoquan was drunk at this time was because tonight, in order to thank the Daolu Division and the Monk Lu Division for their protection, he spent a lot of money to invite these two main officials of the Yamen to go to the most luxurious heaven in the capital. The world drank flower wine, and prepared a generous gift for everyone.
Several main officials of the Daolu Division and the Monk Lu Division were very satisfied when they saw Zhang Daoquan so sensible, so they put down their bodies and let go with Zhang Daoquan.
During this flower wine, Zuo Zhengyi Tan En of the Daolu Division took advantage of the strength of the wine, and inadvertently revealed a gossip secret to Zhang Daoquan, saying that there was a favored concubine of a wealthy merchant in the capital who was a believer in the Baiyun Temple in the south of the city. In a fit of rage, he almost demolished the White Cloud Temple? In the end, it was the Daolu Division that came forward to invite a waiter from the Ministry of Rites to intercede, and only then did he save Baiyunguan and suppress the matter.
In fact? Daolu Division also grabbed the handle of Baiyun Temple because of this matter? Therefore, he had the confidence to reject the complaint of the Taoist forces led by Baiyunguan against the "Tongji Temple".
Human beings' enthusiasm for this kind of gossip is always the same, after Tan En took advantage of the drunkenness to tell this secret? Immediately aroused everyone's interest, and everyone joined the discussion? And made up a lot of jokes on the spot? The cuckold businessman was ridiculed and ridiculed, and his attitude was extremely contemptuous.
However, Xu Zhicheng, the right good man of the Monk Lu Division, is quite knowledgeable, and laughs at this wealthy businessman? He also asserted that the family business of this wealthy businessman would soon decline.
After all? Even a concubine around him can't manage well, how can he manage Nuoda's business house? What will the shopkeepers, partners, and partners of the comptoir think of him when they hear the news? If the shopkeeper, his buddies, and his partners all secretly look down on him, what can he do even if he has some ability?
Hearing such comments, everyone was deeply convinced.
In the end, because of this gossip as a talking point at the wine table? The friendship between the people was much closer.
*
Putting these details aside, let's just say that Zhang Daoquan returned to his residence drunk? Thinking back to the conversation at the wine table, I couldn't help but be emotionally high and secretly excited.
"Hey, hey? I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the centuries-old inheritance of Baiyun Temple? The first grand view of the capital? There is even such a scandal......
Didn't Tan En of the Daolu Division tell me about this matter for no reason? Obviously, he also wants to lend my hand to add a stumbling block to Baiyunguan, probably because Baiyunguan's share of the incense money that is distributed to him every day is less?
In any case, I must spread the word about this matter, and it is best to make it known to the world, which will definitely greatly damage the reputation of Baiyunguan, and can also snatch many believers from Baiyunguan! Hehe, Baiyunguan has always prided itself on being Taoist orthodox, and has never looked down on me as a wild man, but so what? There will be a time when you will bow your heads to me and beg for mercy!
Speaking of which, that wealthy businessman is really miserable, I have also heard of his name, he is the leading giant in the capital, but he has money and no power, he can only eat coptis dumbly, and he doesn't dare to squeak more when he is cuckolded, he is really aggrieved, with this matter, everyone looks down on him, and they will arrange him, even if he has more money, how can he be majestic? Maybe it's like Lord Xu said, maybe he will go through this incident and his family business will decline......
Well, when this person is depressed in the future, I will find an opportunity to get close to him and take the opportunity to accept him as a believer, this is a big donor, at least I can add a thousand taels of silver to the 'Tongji Temple' of incense......"
I have to say that Zhang Daoquan is indeed a smart person, and he is also a genius, just listening to a piece of gossip and secrets, he quickly conceived many plans to expand the influence of "Tongji Temple".
In this way, half-drunk and half-awake, Zhang Daoquan had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, and soon walked to his bedroom door, and then pushed the door in.
took off his coat casually, Zhang Daoquan did not observe the situation in the room, and lifted the quilt and wanted to go to bed.
But as soon as he bent down and was about to lie down, he saw an unsightly scene on the bed!
His wife, He Shi, and his eldest disciple Ma Zhong were actually naked and sleeping on the bed hugging each other, obviously having just experienced a gut war!
Maybe it was too intense and consumed too much physical strength, the dog man and woman didn't notice Zhang Daoquan's appearance at this time, and they were still asleep, as if they had been drugged with sweat, and they seemed to be silently laughing at the green hat on Zhang Daoquan's head.
For a while, Zhang Daoquan was struck by lightning, and his originally drunk head instantly sobered up a lot.
He first stared blankly at the scene on the bed, and then turned his head stiffly to look at the situation in the room - he was in a drunken state before, and he had never noticed anything unusual in the house, but now he found that his bedroom was littered with the clothes and pants of these two people, and the dirty clothes of his wife He were even thrown on a statue of a god enshrined in the house, which is enough to show how impatient the dog man and woman are when they do things!
At the beginning, Zhang Daoquan was still in a state of confusion, his reason had already told him what all this meant in front of him, but his emotions were slow to respond, as if he was deliberately hiding.
After his mind was blank for a long time, Zhang Daoquan remembered that he should be angry at this time!
He never expected that he had just laughed at other people's green hats with his drinking friends at the banquet, and in the blink of an eye, he was wearing an even greener hat on his head!
Moreover, it was none other than Ma Zhong, his eldest disciple with high hopes and trust, who put his hat on him!
This kind of betrayal by those close to him brought Zhang Daoquan pain and anger that is completely indescribable.
Then, Zhang Daoquan recalled the conversation at today's banquet, and the target of everyone's ridicule seemed to have become himself...... His eyes were bloodshot, staring closely at the pair of dog men and women who were still sleeping in front of him, and for a while anger rose from his heart, and his breathing gradually became heavy, and before he knew it, he had picked up the teapot on the table and raised it high......
After drinking too much and still losing his mind, Zhang Daoquan didn't notice that something was wrongβwhy did He and Ma Zhong sleep so deeply that they didn't notice their presence at all? They knew that Zhang Daoquan would come back at any time tonight, so why did they choose this time for fornication? There are obviously many rooms in Zhang's house, why did they take the risk of choosing Zhang Daoquan's bedroom when they were fornicating?
Zhang Daoquan didn't think about this, he just thought that he would never be able to bear such humiliation and betrayal! He only thought that he must not let this matter get out of the way, and his reputation would be ruined! All he wanted to do was kill the dog man and woman to vent his hatred!
So, Zhang Daoquan didn't hesitate anymore and smashed the kettle on Ma Zhong's head!
With a bang, the kettle immediately shattered into several pieces, but Zhang Daoquan was still still angry, and picked up the porcelain pieces after the kettle was broken and stabbed them at Ma Zhong and He's bodies, again and again, as if he was crazy, blood sprinkled all over his body, and he was still unconscious.
The strange thing is that Zhang Daoquan made such a movement, Ma Zhong and He Shi were smashed and stabbed by him, and soon they were covered in bruises, but there was still no sign of lucidity, just moaning in pain intermittently in the coma.
However, seeing that Ma Zhong and He were about to be completely killed by Zhang Daoquan, a shout full of panic suddenly interrupted all this!
"Murder! Killed! Master Zhang has killed someone! β
Hearing such a shout, Zhang Daoquan, who was originally stabbing at He and Ma Zhong with the porcelain fragments in his hand, suddenly stiffened and his expression changed greatly!
When he turned his head to look, he realized that when he entered the house drunk just now, he didn't close the door at all, and there was a person from Zhang's house who was rolling and crawling towards the distance at this time!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Daoquan glanced at He and Ma Zhong, who were already seriously injured and dying, and finally understood what he had just done, and couldn't help but spread his body on the ground, and muttered: "It's over......"
I don't know whether Zhang Daoquan's so-called "finished" means that his murder was discovered, or that he can no longer hide the fact that he was cuckold.
*
In fact, Zhang Daoquan is not finished.
Today, all of this is Zhao Junchen's layout from beginning to end.
He and Ma Zhong were in a coma from beginning to end, because they were drugged by Zhao Junchen; These two actually didn't have the courage to have an affair in Zhang Daoquan's bedroom, but they were moved to Zhang Daoquan's bedroom by Zhao Junchen's people after being drugged...... Even, even when Zhang Daoquan vented his anger and killed someone, he would be knocked out by his subordinates, all because of Zhao Junchen's deliberate arrangement.
And Zhao Junchen's approach is to completely change Zhang Daoquan's character in the city.
Because of Zhao Junchen's dedication to auspiciousness, Emperor Deqing now has the idea of visiting immortals and seeking immortality, and he is also convinced of the existence of the "Three Sages of the South China Sea", which is obviously an opportunity for Zhao Junchen, so he wants to link the "Three Sages of the South China Sea" with the "Tongji Temple", and use Zhang Daoquan's talent to deceive Emperor Deqing and influence Emperor Deqing's judgment.
But the premise of this approach is that Zhang Daoquan's character must change, his city government needs to be deeper, and his courage needs to be stronger.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen deliberately arranged today's incident, just to fundamentally reverse Zhang Daoquan's character.
In this way, Zhang Daoquan's murder was naturally not discovered by the government, and the subordinate had already been advised, and he did not run to report to the official after discovering Zhang Daoquan's murder, but quickly went to notify Li Muhe, the host of the "Tongji Temple", Li Muhe was Zhao Junchen's confidant, and he was responsible for the infiltration and intelligence of the "Tongji Temple" on weekdays, and Zhang Daoquan was only responsible for the preaching and daily affairs of the "Tongji Temple".
In fact, even if this servant ran to report to the official, he was not afraid, because Zhang Daoquan did not kill anyone, he just hurt people.

"This Zhang Daoquan is really a soft-footed shrimp! I created the best conditions for him, and in his rage, he could not kill even two people who had passed out...... Ha, there is obviously a knife in the kitchen and a hammer in the firewood room, but he only knows how to hit people with a teapot, and then stab people with a teapot fragment that is not yet the size of a palm...... I don't know what he thought at the time! Fortunately, Ma Zhong was in a state of unconsciousness at the time, otherwise Zhang Daoquan would have been killed by him now! β
This night, it was early in the morning, Zhao Junchen secretly rushed to Zhang Daoquan's residence, and after inquiring about the specific situation, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, only feeling that he couldn't cry or laugh.
In fact, Zhao Junchen, as one of the powerful ministers in the DPRK, has received no less attention than Zhu Hejian, and he also needs to take a certain risk when he secretly came here to deal with Zhang Daoquan's affairs at this time, and maybe he will be discovered, but Zhao Junchen considered that the follow-up impact of this matter was extremely important, so he still rushed here in person.
On the other side, Xu Qingyan snickered: "Maybe it's because he's a soft-footed shrimp that He can't help but have an affair with Ma Zhong!" That Ma Zhong looks much stronger than Zhang Daoquan. β
Zhao Junchen glared at Xu Qingyan and said, "I don't have time to joke with you about this kind of thing...... What happened to the three of them? β
Xu Qingyan replied: "Zhang Daoquan has been controlled by us in the firewood room, Ma Zhong and He Shi have no big problem, but they were smashed by the teapot once or twice, and their bodies were stabbed by porcelain more than a dozen times, but the porcelain pieces used by Zhang Daoquan were too small, and the wound was half a finger deep, and it did not hurt the internal organs, among which He's problem was more serious, she was pierced in the neck, but she did not hurt the blood vessels and trachea. β
Zhao Junchen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Call Zhang Daoquan over, I will talk to him personally, I hope his personality can change after this incident...... In fact, after experiencing this kind of thing, his personality will inevitably change, and he only hopes to develop in a better direction, not become more cowardly. β
Speaking of the back, Zhao Junchen shook his head lightly, but he didn't have much confidence.
Hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Zhao Dali on the other side nodded and left, and soon carried Zhang Daoquan to Zhao Junchen.
Zhang Daoquan looked up and saw that Zhao Junchen was sitting on the main seat of the guest hall of the Zhang Mansion, with a rather natural attitude, as if he was the master of this room, and he was staring at himself with a moody gaze at this time, and he couldn't see any attitude.
"Lord Zhao! Help me! Help me! I missed and killed! I didn't mean to! I don't want to go to court! Lord Zhao, you must save me! β
After seeing Zhao Junchen, Zhang Daoquan hurriedly opened his mouth and pleaded.
Seeing Zhang Daoquan's performance, Zhao Junchen couldn't help frowning.
It seems that after such a change, Zhang Daoquan's character not only did not become more courageous and decisive, but looked like he was frightened, and there was a more cowardly trend.
"I have to give him a little more hard medicine!"
Zhao Junchen thought secretly.
If the emotions of shame, betrayal, and pain are not enough to make Zhang Daoquan's personality change qualitatively, then Zhao Junchen has no choice but to let Zhang Daoquan deeply feel another emotion.
This emotion is called despair!
