Chapter 105: Bribery
These Taichang officials secretly scolded the dead ghost of Fuqiu Gong in their hearts, what did they do to provoke this witch Tao, and now they have to implicate them.
On the other hand, they bowed down one after another: "We will never dare to treat the ancestor spirit of the Hou Mansion slowly, and please sacrifice the wine Mingjian!"
"Whether there is one, I'll know if I've seen it. Stand down!"
Those officials and officials are terrified.
As long as you want to pick the thorns, you can pick out the bones in the eggs.
This witch Tao wants to find fault, no matter how well they do, they can be singled out for omissions, and they will cry for a while.
Tao Xiaowu ignored them and shouted: "Don't retreat yet, Mo Feier and the others have ghosts in their hearts, and what do they want to do?"
This big hat was pressed down, and these Taichang officials wept and mourned, and they retreated one after another.
Tao Xiaowu didn't care, and worshiped in the temple one by one.
I prayed silently in my heart: "Your Majesty offended Confucianism and caused a disaster, so I had to come to the temple to borrow a few sealing grasses for use." Please also ask the ancestors of the Hou Mansion to ......"
After worshipping like this, let Qiu Shan stay outside.
Finally, I came to the altar where the grass was enshrined.
In this way, the sealed grass is placed in the main temple.
And Yangfu Marquis is a prince, the princes have five temples, and the main temple is dedicated to the ancestor, that is, the fire god Begong.
At this moment, under the gaze of the statue of the god of fire, Tao Xiaowu cautiously walked towards the altar, and the whole person felt that something was wrong.
This is a world of ghosts and gods......
Although it is said that the ancient fire god Begong has already fallen, and the ancient water god Buyu has died together.
However, at this moment, under the gaze of this idol, doing this kind of stealing and touching dogs, my heart is always a little uneasy.
Especially when Tao Xiaowu stepped into the altar, his eyes suddenly turned dark, and suddenly he seemed to fall towards the bottomless abyss.
Then I saw the fire, the endless flames.
In the glow of a flame burning, a palace floated in it.
It seemed that in an instant, Tao Xiaowu had already fallen into a large hall.
The five golden gods, each three or five feet tall, sat upright, and just stared at Tao Xiaowu, who was like bean sprouts.
The huge invisible pressure made Tao Xiaowu unable to say a word.
"These are the five ancestors enshrined in the Yangfu Hou Temple......"
Tao Xiaowu suddenly had this kind of realization in his heart.
These are also the five most important ancestors of the Yangfu Marquis family.
It's also the first time he's seen!
Although Tao Xiaowu is the sacrifice wine of the Hou Mansion, he is only in charge of the private sacrifice of the Hou Mansion.
As for the temple sacrifice, of course, it was presided over by the court officials.
This is also a very important means for the imperial court to check and balance the princes......
Therefore, Tao Xiaowu had only seen those ancestral spirits of the Yangfuhou family who were not the main branch in the past.
And today I really saw the ancestral spirit enshrined in this kind of temple.
The only feeling left for Tao Xiaowu is that it is powerful, too powerful!
In particular, the one sitting in the center should be the ancestral spirit of the ancient fire god Begong, the most powerful, more than seven zhang high.
The other four are less than half of them, and at most they are only three zhang!
But no matter how tall they were, they all emitted that golden-red, flame-like glow.
So much so that those ancestral spirits didn't do anything, and they pressed Tao Xiaowu to the point that they couldn't bear it.
However, the feeling is also a moment.
Everything disappeared in front of him, Tao Xiaowu's spiritual consciousness rose again, returned to his body, and faintly heard a sentence in his ears: "Assist the Hou Mansion well, and you will have a good reward in the future......"
The voice was still in his ears, and Tao Xiaowu's consciousness had returned to his body.
He was still on the altar, and one hand had already touched the earthen bud.
"This is the ancestral spirit that has allowed me to act!"
Tao Xiaowu had a clear understanding in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he stole the beams and changed the pillars, and quickly replaced the bud grass.
The whole process didn't take two minutes!
Tao Xiaowu bowed to the statue of the god Begong, then got up and walked out.
Those officials who were too regular did not dare to leave too far, stretched their necks from afar, and looked at Tao Xiaowu's face as heavy as water, and walked out without seeing joy and anger, and their hearts were all frightened and uneasy.
The ceremonial officer at the head of the ceremony came closer, bowed his knees, and said, "Sacrificial wine, can you take a step to speak?"
Although Tao Xiaowu's face was calm, in fact, he was just scaring these people.
At that moment, he followed the ceremonial official to the side, and the ceremonial official gritted his teeth, his flesh ached for a long time, and he took out a small bag from his arms: "The sacrificial wine is hard, this is my filial piety sacrificial wine!"
The wrapping cloth was opened, revealing a bead the size of a pigeon's egg, which looked gray and inconspicuous.
However, this is a streamer!
This guy actually has a streamer bead in his hand?
At this time, the ceremonial official said solemnly: "This bead is a witch bead, which was given by ancient wizards when they sacrificed to the gods." Thinking that it would be of some use to the sacrificial wine, the lower officials did not dare to hide it privately, so they specially gave it to the sacrificial wine!"
"Oh?"
Tao Xiaowu took the bead and confirmed that it was a streamer bead, and his heart was full of joy.
But it's a little ridiculous, when did this streamer bead become a witch bead? Can you name it a little longer?
This bead is very useful to him!
The thought turned a thousand times in his mind, and Tao Xiaowu had already opened his mouth and shouted: "Take down this thief!"
When the ceremonial official was shocked, he was already directly held by Qiu Shan, who pounced on him.
The ceremonial official opened his mouth and wanted to shout: "The lower official is wronged, the sacrificial wine ......"
As soon as he exited, he was pinched by Qiu Shan on the back of his neck, his eyes turned black, and he fainted directly.
Tao Xiaowu said angrily: "These thieves actually dare to secretly hide and sell the ritual utensils of the temple, such illegal and reckless acts, they will all be arrested by me!"
This is also Tao Xiaowu's temporary intention.
Originally, there was no such idea.
It's just weird, this Taichang official actually took the initiative to give Tao Xiaowu a gift.
But it made Tao Xiaowu have an idea in an instant!
These people can't stay......
At this time, the matter is planted on them, and even if someone in the court comes to find fault in the future and finds that Feng Mao is wrong, it can only be counted on these people.
As for the evidence, isn't this streamer bead?
It's a big deal in the future, and then find a way to ask Yang Fuhou to give it.
Besides, if it's not enough, isn't it easy to plant it?
There are so many ritual utensils in the temple, copper tripods, copper bells, etc., all of which are bronze, and when they are melted, they are money.
Tao Xiaowu said that these guys secretly sold ritual utensils for money, and they sold them secretly, can they refute it?
With Tao Xiaowu's order, Qiu Shan rushed over like a whirlwind, and after a while, he knocked the dozen or so Taichang officials to the ground.
This is also because Tao Xiaowu was unprepared, and he didn't bring enough manpower.
At this time, Tao Xiaowu secretly reflected in his heart.
The next time you do these things, you should be prepared beforehand.
Soon, Yang Fuhou got the news and hurried over with a large number of guards and slaves.
However, they sent people to count the ritual utensils according to the canonical books, one by one.
