On June 20, the stars are shining brightly, and the zodiac is an auspicious day for the door to be repaired.

On this day, the first rays of morning light faintly penetrated from the horizon, a trace of coolness came to the world with the dawn, the summer morning always makes people energetic, Zhu Ping'an took Liu Mu and Liu Dadao out of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion early, all the way to the Qintianjian Yamen.

The sun is rising, and the horse's hooves are brisk.

The blue-gray courtyard houses, the crooked stone-paved streets, the mossy brick walls, the rouge gouache shops that are open, and the breakfast shops that come and go......

The morning in the capital gradually woke up, and the leaves of the willow trees on the side of the road began to stretch in the morning light.

When Zhu Ping'an and the three arrived at Qin Tianjian, Qin Tianjian had not yet opened the door at this time, so Zhu Ping'an had a breakfast with Liu Mu and Liu Dadao at a nearby breakfast shop.

The shopkeeper with a white towel warmly welcomed him into the store, and Zhu Ping'an asked for three bowls of sugar bean juice, a plate of side dishes, and a basket of fried dough sticks, and ate them on the table on the side of the road.

A mouthful of fritters, a bite of side dishes, and a mouthful of bean juice, the sense of happiness bursts in the moment of filling the stomach.

Coincidentally, after breakfast, the front foot only came out of the shop, and the back foot saw Qin Tianjian slowly open the door.

Liu Mu and Liu Dadao were waiting outside, Zhu Ping'an entered the Qintianjian alone, registered and signed, and the gatekeeper led Zhu Ping'an to see Zhang Siming.

"Immeasurable Tianzun, if you pinch your fingers, Zhuangyuanlang should also come." Zhang Siming, who was fat-headed, big-eared like Maitreya Buddha and wearing a gray and white robe, greeted him with a smile on his face, and his fingers were still pinching a Dharma seal.

Nonsense, today is the day to replace the Kumen, I naturally want to come, Zhu Ping'an scolded in his heart, walked two steps with a smile on his face, arched his hands and said: "Hehe, the lower officials are here to make trouble for Master Zhang again."

"Don't bother, don't bother, Zhuangyuanlang will sit for a while, and when the official has packed up the magic weapon, he will go to Taicang." Treasurer Zhang shook his head with a smile.

"There's Lord Lao Zhang." Zhu Ping'an thanked him.

"What is Zhuang Yuanlang's politeness, this official has not thanked Zhuang Yuanlang for the article "Three Thousand Years of Kneeling in Front of the Buddha" the day before yesterday. As soon as this article came out, the haze of the Daomen was swept away, and the people of the Daomen such as me were able to raise their eyebrows. This article is better than the work of thousands of Taoist priests preaching and preaching. Treasurer Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Lord Zhang has won the award, Ping An is really ashamed, Ping An has a few catties and a few taels, and he still knows it in his heart." Zhu Ping'an shook his head solemnly.

"Hehe, don't be modest, this is not the official alone, and it is more than that, many people think that Zhuang Yuanlang's "Three Thousand Years of Kneeling Before the Buddha" is more than Yuan Maozhong's "Luoshui Xuangui Chu Xianrui". Zhang Siming looked at Zhu Ping'an and said with a smile.

belch

Not.

Zhu Ping'an smiled bitterly and shook his head, Yuan Wei's couplet is popular, everyone knows it, and the sycophants are all taken to the peak.

"That's true, even if there are several adults in the Wuyi Palace, they say so." Zhang Siming glanced at Zhu Ping'an again with a smile.

Don't.

Zhu Ping'an shook his head when he heard this.

Yuan Wei is a conceited person, he already looks at himself unpleasantly, if he waits for him to come back from inspecting the border and hears this kind of statement, wouldn't it be even more difficult to get along with himself.

I know history, Yuan Weiqing's words are a must, very favored by Emperor Jiajing, this buddy's promotion speed is unprecedented, don't look at him now he is just a bachelor, within ten years, this buddy will be the official crown prince Shaobao, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, and then will quickly enter the cabinet, and Li Chunfang, Yan Ne, Guo Pu and others are called "Qingzi Prime Minister".

It is never a good thing to be looked down upon and unable to get by such a promising and narrow-minded person.

After a few words of greeting, Zhang Si ordered someone to pour Zhu Ping'an a cup of tea, asked Zhu Ping'an to wait a while, and then went out to order someone to prepare the magic weapon.

After about two teas, Zhang Siming came in and said that the instrument had been prepared, and he could leave for Taicang.

When Zhu Ping'an went out with Zhang Siming, he saw the magic weapons prepared by Zhang Siming, the so-called magic weapons, that is, incense candles, paper money, cinnabar, brushes, road charms, peach wood swords, bells, black dog blood, sheep blood, ox blood and other things.

In addition to Zhang Siming, Qin Tianjian also had two Taoist priests who went to Taicang together, and these two Taoist priests were much more professional than Zhang Siming, who had a fat head and big ears. According to Zhang Siming's introduction, these two Taoist priests are also officials of Qin Tianjian, the five official supervisors of Zhengjiupin, and they are "talents" selected from famous Taoist temples.

Zhang Siming sat in a carriage, and the other two Taoist priests sat in another carriage, looking at the magic weapon by the way.

Zhu Ping'an gathered Zhang Siming's carriage and prepared to go out and ride again.

As soon as the carriage left the gate of Qintianjian, Zhu Ping'an saw the Blood Sword with more than 20 Dongchang fans, holding a horse and waiting outside the gate.

The blood-dripping sword was expressionless, standing straight in front of the door, dressed in a white official uniform, draped in a black cloak, with a scarlet long sword hanging from his waist, and a "Dongchang" waist card hanging from his waist.

Behind him, Dongchang Fanzi was also wearing a black cloak, divided into two rows, pressing the waist knife with his right hand, standing silently behind the blood-dripping sword.

There was no sound, like a statue, exuding endless coldness.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Zhang Siming, who had been smiling, couldn't hold back the smile on his face when he saw the Blood Sword waiting for Dongchang.

All the people passing by here on the road avoided it from a distance, and they didn't dare to breathe, and walked quickly around the detour.

Liu Mu and Liu Dadao, who were waiting outside, were also afraid, leading their horses opposite them, not daring to look directly at the people from Dongchang such as the Dripping Blood Sword. When they were in the village before, they didn't hear much about the murderous names of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, what eighteen kinds of torture, what kind of murder without blinking, killing people without breaking the law, etc., etc., it can be said that the factory guard is the existence of the common people who are frightened, Liu Mu and Liu Dadao are so bold, and the ordinary people have peed their pants early when they stand there.

"Zhang Baihu is early, and all the officials are early." Zhu Ping'an got out of the carriage and said hello to the Blood Sword and the others.

"Lord Zhu is early, the miscellaneous family came to listen to Lord Zhu's dispatch with the command of the saint, everything is under the orders of the lord, don't dare to disobey." Zhang Baihu replied with a soft smile.

"Don't dare to disobey your lordship's orders." The two rows of Dongchang fans shouted in unison.

This morning, Emperor Jiajing ordered Huang Jin to send a team of people to wait for Zhu Ping'an's dispatch, and Huang Jin sent a blood sword.

Zhu Ping'an was overjoyed when he heard this, and the people from Dongchang were shocked on the side, and he couldn't ask for it, so he arched his hand to Zhang Baihu and others, "Don't dare to command, I have to rely on Zhang Baihu and the officials to help me today." ”

So a group of people went to Taicang.
