Chapter 847: Tricking the Truth
Three days later, Li Hao was writing something in the study, Fan Lihua and Hu Ke were reading boredly on the side, when there was a knock on the door, Fan Lihua asked, "Who?" ”
"Uncle Shi, it's me, Liu Xuanji." Liu Xuanji's voice came from outside, "I'm here to find Uncle Shi." ”
Li Hao heard the words and said, "Come in." ”
Liu Xuanji pushed the door in, closed the door, walked to the bookcase, and saluted Li Hao: "Uncle Shi, I have memorized all the information of Wu Chenghei, can I act?" ”
Li Hao smiled and said, "It's very coincidental, I have just written the specific plan, you can see if it is feasible." With that, he handed a piece of paper that he had just written to Liu Xuanji.
Liu Xuanji took it in his hand and looked at it, and after reading it, he nodded and said, "Although there is nothing new, it is feasible." ”
"You still want new ......ideas," Li Hao glanced at him and said, "Innovation is not so easy, the most important thing is feasible, I thought about it, I felt that this task was really important, and finally decided that I would personally be your partner." ”
"Huh?" Liu Xuanji was surprised when he heard this, Li Hao personally went into battle, and he was a little stunned.
"Don't be so surprised." Li Hao smiled, "Anyway, I'm idle, but this time, I'll pretend to be your apprentice, and if I change my appearance a little, no one will recognize me, and that Wu Chenghei hasn't seen me either." ”
Liu Xuanji hurriedly said in a panic: "How dare my nephew be my uncle's master." ”
"It's just a show, don't be so serious, it's decided." Li Hao couldn't help but clappe, "Prepare today and start acting tomorrow." ”
"Yes." Liu Xuanji bowed his head.
After Liu Xuanji stepped back, Li Hao began to disguise himself, changed his eyebrows and eyeliner, his hair was all dyed black, and his face was covered with layers of makeup, which visually changed the contours of his face.
After Li Hao put on makeup, he looked back and forth in the mirror, and the more he looked at it, the more addicted he became: "Oh, I myself am so handsome, so handsome, tsk, young and handsome, where is it like Bensi, it's just an eighteen-year-old little fresh meat, tsk tsk......"
Liu Xuanji has a property in Chang'an, which is a shop he once bought, dedicated to helping people with divination and fortune measurement and selling talismans, and the store can also live in people, but because Liu Xuanji has not been in Chang'an for many years, this shop has been empty, yesterday Liu Xuanji came to clean for a day, and today it finally reopened, the hexagram booth was placed at the door of the store, and then Liu Xuanji sat there, next to two small flags, the flag on the left reads "Measure fortune, look at feng shui, immortals guide the way", and the flag on the right reads "Know the past, know the future, Only Liu Banxian", he actually fought neatly.
Liu Banxian didn't take the initiative to solicit guests, just sat there and closed his eyes, after all, he didn't worry about business at all, when he was young, he cheated money everywhere, but since following Li Hao, he finally saw what it means to be rich, and since then, his horizons have been infinitely broadened, his three views have changed completely, and he has lost interest in money.
It was almost noon, Wu Chengsi rode by here, and saw Liu Xuanji who was closing his eyes and recuperating from a distance, after all, Liu Xuanji looked very good, and he looked very conspicuous.
Although Wu Chengsi saw him, he didn't have the urge to go up to tell the fortune, after all, he also knew that most of these fortune tellers were liars.
Wu Chengsi passed by Liu Xuanji's hexagram stall, Liu Xuanji didn't open his eyes, and suddenly raised his voice: "Purple qi is coming from the east!" It's expensive! ”
His voice seemed to be reciting scriptures, and the tone dragged on very long, and it was very high, Wu Chengji was naturally attracted by his voice and turned his head to look at him.
"I don't know which noble person is so noble!" Liu Xuanji opened his eyes as he spoke.
Wu Chengsi looked at Liu Xuanji, Liu Xuanji also looked at Wu Chengji, the two didn't speak for a while, and Wu Chengsi had already stopped his horse.
Wu Chengsi naturally likes to listen to good words, and when he heard a fortune teller say that he was a nobleman, he was naturally happy, and asked with a smile: "Old Taoist, who do you mean by noble?" ”
Liu Xuanji spread his hands and smiled: "Is there anyone here who is more noble than Your Excellency?" ”
Wu Chengsi laughed and asked again: "You haven't opened your eyes, how do you know this ...... Am I a nobleman? ”
Liu Xuanji said: "Extravagant, you don't need eyes to see, when Your Excellency is still ten zhang away, the old man has already felt the nobility of Your Excellency, the old man has read countless people in his life, from princes and generals, down to the peddlers and pawns, but no one has ever been as noble as Your Excellency." ”
"Oh?" Wu Chengsi was immediately interested when he heard this, although he knew that maybe this old Taoist priest might be playing tricks, but he had nothing to do anyway, so he chatted with him, if he lied, it would be fun to debunk it.
So he turned over and dismounted, came to the hexagram stall and sat down, and said, "The prince and general are not as noble as me?" Then tell me, which princes and generals have you seen? ”
Liu Xuanji said: "The front door is serving Lord Wei Zhengwei." ”
Wu Chengsi was shocked when he heard this, this is a super heavyweight boss, don't look at himself now that he is proud, but compared to Wei Zheng, it is nothing, at least his aunt Wu Meiniang will not dare to make Wei Zheng, because then she will be scolded by the people, but Wei Zheng will also be superstitious about this kind of thing? He didn't believe it, so he asked, "What else?" ”
Liu Xuanji said slowly: "Master Ma Zhouma." ”
"What else?"
"King Li Daozong of Jiangxia, Lord Li."
"What else?"
"Once Xuanhe, Li Hao, the unparalleled king of Qiongnan in the Tang Dynasty."
Wu Chengsi narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said slowly: "Li Hao has been dead for many years, and I have never seen him, you said that you have seen him, who is the witness?" ”
Liu Xuanji said indifferently: "No one testifies, if King Qiongnan believed the old man's words, he would not have died, but unfortunately, he didn't believe the old man's words, and a generation of heroes withered, it's a pity...... It's a pity ......"
Wu Chengsi squinted at Liu Xuanji suspiciously, and said coldly: "Have you really seen these people?" Have you measured their fortunes? ”
Liu Xuanji said: "The old man has measured the fortune for the King of Jiangxia and Lord Ma, and he has only had a relationship with Lord Wei, Lord Wei did not find the old man to measure the fortune, as for King Qiongnan, he does not believe in ghosts and gods at all, nor does he believe in the old man's words, if you don't believe it, go to them and ask them." ”
Wu Chengsi thought about it carefully, what this old Taoist said was also in line with the character of these people, Li Hao promoted science and did not respect ghosts and gods, Wei Zheng was also very disgusted with these Jianghu warlocks, as for Li Daozong and Ma Zhou, there was nothing peculiar.
After pondering for a moment, Wu Chengsi asked, "How did you remind Li Hao in the first place?" ”
"In the third year of Yonghui, the old man passed through Lantian Shanghe Village, and saw King Qiongnan fishing by the river, and the old man saw that his face was different, so he stepped forward to remind him that within three years, the water was riddled with robbery, and it was never advisable to go to a place with a lot of water, and it was never advisable to fish, at that time King Qiongnan said that he had excellent water quality, but he did not expect that in the third year, he still died tragically at sea, which was in response to the old man's criticism."
Wu Chengsi was slightly shocked when he heard this, Li Hao's deeds, he had a general understanding, during the three years from the second year of Yonghui to the fourth year of eternity, Li Hao had not been to the court for three years, so he hid in Lantian and took fishing for fun.
A strategist-like figure beside Wu Chengsi whispered in Wu Chengsi's ear: "My lord, don't believe the nonsense of these charlatans, they are all liars. ”
Liu Xuanji also heard this person's words, and said with a smile: "The old man suddenly remembered, at that time, the old man wanted to send a peace charm to King Qiongnan, but he was instigated by the people next to him, so he gave up his plan, and the old man had no choice but to withdraw." ”
Wu Chengsi said: "When you met Li Hao by the river, you recognized him?" Have you seen Li Hao before? ”
Liu Xuanji said with a smile: "The old man has been in Chang'an for many years, the king of Qiongnan has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, returned with honors several times, rode horses and paraded the streets, more than half of the people in Chang'an have seen the king of Qiongnan, what is so strange?" ”
Wu Chengsi's eyes rolled, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he suddenly said: "I know all the people you just said, except for Li Hao, I will ask, if there is no thing you said, you just wait." ”
Liu Xuanji smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Your Excellency can send someone to ask now, if there is half a lie, your adult will cut off the old man's head and use it as a stool to sit on." ”
He was full of confidence, which made Wu Chengji feel at a loss, if he was a liar, how could he have such confidence?
In fact, Liu Xuanji is a liar, but he is professional, and the backstage is quite hard, Ma Zhou's side, Wei Zheng's side, and Li Daozong's side, Li Hao has sent people to say hello, so that they can cooperate well, and now they all know that Li Hao is not dead, he is back, everyone is secretly happy, although Li Hao has no power now, but since Li Hao wants to threaten to organize the court, he will definitely be able to do it, because Li Hao said that there is nothing that cannot be done.
Wu Chengsi smiled and said, "I won't be in such a hurry, you just said that the people you have seen are not as noble as me, is this true?" ”
"Seriously." Liu Xuanji nodded solemnly.
Wu Chengsi asked again: "What about Li Hao, his nobility is not as good as mine?" ”
"Far less than Your Excellency." Liu Xuanji was serious nonsense.
Wu Chengsi was very happy when he heard this, and stretched out his hand and said, "Then you can look at the palmistry for me." ”
Liu Xuanji didn't look at his hands, but stared at his face, and then shook his head and said: "You don't need to look at palmistry, you can see from your face's face that within three days, your excellency will have a big catastrophe, and it is a fire tribulation." ”
"Fire robbery?" Wu Chengsi frowned when he heard this, "You mean, I'm going to be burned by fire?" ”
"So to speak." Liu Xuanji nodded.
Wu Chengsi didn't believe it, he had always been good, he hadn't experienced any catastrophes, how could there be a fire catastrophe as soon as he met this Taoist priest, he was almost certain that it was this Taoist priest who was talking nonsense, and then let him spend a lot of money to buy a life-saving method, he sneered secretly, and then asked: "Is there a way to crack it?" ”
"Wait a minute." He returned to the shop, took a talisman folded into a strange shape, came back and handed it to Wu Chenghe, and said, "Please carry this fire talisman with you, you can keep safe." ”
Wu Chengsi took the talisman, looked at it twice, and asked with a smile: "This talisman should be worth a lot of money, right?" ”
He originally thought that Liu Xuanji was going to offer a high price, but he didn't expect Liu Xuanji to shake his head and say: "I won't charge a penny, I will give it to Your Excellency, I hope Your Excellency can live a long life." ”
Now Wu Chengsi is stunned, don't want money? That means that this Taoist priest is not a liar? Not only him, but even Wu Chenghe's advisers and entourage were stunned, according to common sense, charlatans are just trying to cheat money, but this old way gives away talismans for free and does not charge a penny, which is puzzling.
Wu Chengsi didn't believe it, frowned and asked, "Give it to me?" Are there any other costs? ”
"Nope." Liu Xuanji said, "Save people's lives and form good karma, please be cautious in using fire in the next few days, this talisman must be worn with you, remember to remember." ”
Wu Chengsi saw that he was telling the truth, so he couldn't help but believe it a little, and said tentatively: "Then I'll go." ”
Liu Xuanji spread his hands: "Your nobles, please." ”
Now Wu Chengsi is really confused, is this really a master? Not a liar?
