Qin Ziyin was appeased, Chang Sihao sent someone out to inquire about Qin Juexiang's situation, and taught Li Shuangji a few words, ordering him to bring four black-clothed warriors.

Li Shuangji gave the antidote to the other three people, stood behind Chang Sihao, and asked, "Do you want to live or die?"

Although the medicine on the four of them was solved, they were still pointed at the acupoints, and they staggered in unison: "I want to live,"

Li Shuangji crossed his arms and said: "You fools, you are even more stupid than me, in fact, this matter is not the young master's fault, only because Ma Mingshao had a holiday with Chang Ye, he secretly framed the eldest lady, you don't want to think about it, she is the young master's own sister, how can the young master do this to her,"

The four of them glanced at each other, their faces stunned, hesitating, hesitating, doubting, changing and changing, and so on.

Chang Sihao said: "Even if the matter is done, it is all to blame on the stupid second head, can he Ma Mingshao still keep you, the so-called intimate relationship, if this matter is exposed to the young master, will he still have a life?"

One person tilted his head and hit the ground: "Chang Ye, the little ones are confused, please show Chang Ye a clear way," and the other three also hurriedly said yes,

Chang Sihao asked: "What is your name," the man said: "The little one is called Qi Zhonghua," and the other three said: "Ni Honglei," "The villain Guo Qiang," "The little Wu Zhiming," Chang Sihao said: "Okay, hiding the head and showing the tail must be a villain, there is a name and a surname is a man, in the eyes of some people, I am just an outsider in the Qin family, and I will inevitably have some opinions and conflicts, I have clear grievances, and I will not settle the accounts on the heads of the people below, since the words are explained, I will not embarrass you again, go back and resume your life," said a few people to solve the acupoints, Ni, Guo and Wu kowtowed with great joy, shrunk and wanted to leave, Qi Zhonghua's figure condensed slightly, and knelt down and said: "Chang Ye, I can't do anything well, how can I still live when I return to Duhulou, even if we escape, no one will return in a short time, Ma Mingshao must know that the matter is exposed, and he will definitely track him around, we are alone, although the world is big, where can we escape," the other three heard this, and their faces were scared,

Qi Zhonghua knelt and climbed two steps, kowtowed upwards and said, "Master Chang, you can accept us,"

Chang Sihao frowned slightly, pretending to hesitate, the other three saw each other, glanced at each other, and quickly kowtowed, Chang Sihao said: "It's not that I don't want to keep you, now Ma Mingshao is the head of the Qin family, and his power is not small, and now it's not time to tear his face with him, if he lets him see a few of you, I'm afraid that there will be a conflict, which will be very disadvantageous to me, and you are old people under Ma Mingshao, if you turn against the water in the future......"

Qi Zhonghua was stunned for a moment, suddenly crawled to the side, hugged the corner of the table and hit his head, banged a few times, knocked out several cuts on his forehead and cheeks, blood flowed straight down, and said: "Chang Ye, the little one is sincere, do you think this is possible," Chang Sihao immediately understood: he was loyal, and the other was disfigured, and his face was full of scars, even if he taught Ma Mingshao to see it, it was not easy to recognize, and when he saw that the other three people gritted their teeth, they had to follow suit, he hurriedly stopped: "You don't have to be like this, you really have to stay, you have to be careful, just don't show your face, ”

The four of them were overjoyed, and they kowtowed again and again to thank them,

Chang Sihao looked at the flesh and skin on Qi Zhonghua's face, and felt a little uncomfortable, and said: "Hurry up and go down to wrap up your wounds, you will work under Shuangji in the future, and you will call him 'Ji Ye' in the future, and you are not allowed to call him Silly Er, you know,"

All four of them hurriedly said, "Yes,"

Chang Sihao waved away a few people, and after a while, he sent someone to listen to report that Qin Juexiang and his party had safely left Dongchang and returned to Duhulou, so he put his mind at ease, got up early the next day, and went straight to the main altar of the Hundred Swords Alliance.

Lord Zheng Meng was very happy to hear what happened in the past two days, and said: "Originally, our league also sent people to investigate the evidence of the crimes of Xu Jie's second son, suffering from the two lives of people and land, it is difficult to make progress, and now it is easy for Lord Qi's subordinates to do this," Chang Sihao said: "Xu Jie has entered the palace and said to the emperor, asking him to recognize the status of Cai Dan Dorje, obviously it is Danba Sangtun who has played a role, this Tibetan monk has a lot of energy, we have to think of a way to deal with it, in addition, his Ming concubine ......" At the place where the curtain cage was picked, Jing Wenzhong walked in, Chang Sihao saw that it was him, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and swallowed back the words behind,

Jing Wenzhong said hello, sat cross-legged beside him, and said: "I heard that the day before yesterday at the banquet in Xufu, there were several adults who asked Danba Sandon to cure old diseases, and all of them were cured, since yesterday, he set up a platform in front of the White Pagoda Temple**, treating diseases and saving people, there are patients who have been on crutches for many years are gently patted by him, and they can walk like flying, and the blind man is pinched by him on the leg, and he can open his eyes to see, all kinds of magic are numerous, and the people of the capital are competing to preach and praise, and it has been booming,"

Chang Sihao said: "I have seen him treat Xu Sangongzi, nothing more than using the method of using internal strength to pass through the meridians, but blindness is a natural disability, and he can be cured, which is really strange,"

Jing asked: "I have seen it before I went to the temple, and the disability is also divided into a variety of situations, there is indeed the possibility of regaining vision, Thornton uses internal strength to urge the lesion, mobilizing the essence stored in the human body, just like a river siltation, he does not go to dredging, but increases the source of water, it seems to be cured for a while, in fact, the disease has not been eradicated, but it greatly consumes the vitality, in short, it is to sacrifice the patient's life in exchange for temporary health, this kind of treatment to save people is like harming people, to my Central Plains doctors do not take, but the people are ignorant, only look at the effect, that is helpless,"

Lord Zheng Meng said worriedly: "Danba Sangtun invited people to buy people's hearts like this, it is nothing more than to build momentum for Caidan Dorje, two days will be the new year, the palace will worship the gods and sacrifice the stove as usual, feast the ministers, and then it is indispensable to have some entertainment, according to Master Sonam, that Danba Sandon is quite good at some pleasing illusions, Xu Ge Lao may want to introduce him to the emperor at this opportunity, if the emperor is fascinated by his evil arts, it will be bad,"

Jing asked: "Alliance leader, why don't you let Gonggong Feng pay attention to this matter and make a timely move, otherwise Xu Ge Lao and them will take the lead again, which will be even more unfavorable to us,"

Zheng Mengzhu shook his head: "He was frustrated before, and the weather has not recovered, so he can't compete with him for a while,"

Chang Sihao said: "It is possible for the little nephew to exert his strength in this matter, but I don't know anything about illusions, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help,"

Jing Wenzhong smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that, Master Sonam's Yellow Sect and White Sect are of the same origin, and he also knows a lot about Kagyu secret techniques, come back later, let him teach you," At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Sonam Gyatso walked into the house,

Master Zheng said with a smile: "Master, we just talked about you, you came back just in time, how did you learn the great mudra of Jue Xiang," Sonam Gyatso said: "Young Master Qin is extremely smart, and he can learn complex postures as soon as he learns, but he can't always meditate and experience the inside, which makes the little monk a little embarrassed," Zheng Meng Lord smiled: "Jue Xiang is also a sect master, there are many affairs, it is reasonable that it is difficult to meditate, and the master is precepts, concentration, and Huizhong, always self-disciplined, the original very people can compare, to you to say the simplest things, I am afraid that in the eyes of the world will be sad to ascend to the sky," Chang Sihao inquired and then learned that Qin Juexiang came out of the East Factory yesterday, went to Duhulou to see the progress of decoration, and came to learn martial arts at night, and also stayed, and now he is in the sword test pavilion,

Zheng Mengzhu and Sonam Gyatso have made an appointment to take turns to teach, Sonam Gyatso has returned, it is Zheng Mengzhu's turn to pass on the swordsmanship, Chang Sihao is inconvenient to follow, just stay and Sonam Gyatso to learn and understand illusion, the Tibetan environment is harsh, people except for simple singing and dancing, other entertainment is less, and because of this, it gives people more space and time to think, so that Buddhism flourishes, the study is profound, and combined with Buddhism derived from all kinds of strange arts, the changes are wonderful, incredible, demonstrated by Sonam Gyatso on the spot, he was amazed,

At noon, the master of Zheng Meng brought Qin Juexiang back together, everyone had finished eating, Jing asked if he had taken a step in advance, Xiaoqing went down to make tea, Chang Sihao asked about the situation in the East Factory, Qin Juexiang smiled: " Hey, what is the east factory and the west factory, that is, the ordinary people in the courtyard, the yamen is not big, there is nothing great, the people running around look very diligent, that's all, those big stalls are acquaintances, I saw it four years ago, this time I am familiar with it again, the people are not bad, but there is a little eunuch with a new face, the people at the bottom call him Cheng Gonggong, Guo Shu Ronghua called him Xiao Anzi, this kid is not very old, he looks very good in the factory,"

Zheng Mengzhu said: "Guo Shu Ronghua has always attached importance to talents, especially likes young and bright people, that Xiao Anzi is the righteous son of Feng Gonggong, he is very good at judging the situation, and it is reasonable to please him," Chang Sihao didn't want to listen to Cheng Lian'an's affairs, and asked: "Since the little nephew entered Beijing, he has a question, that Guo Shu Ronghua looks very young, and he can actually be the dignified governor of Dongchang, what is his origin," Zheng Mengzhu smiled and sighed: "If you want to talk about him, it's a long story, in fact, his background is not very good,"

Qin Juexiang's eyes lit up: "What a bad way,"

"It is said that his mother's name is Guo Huaihong, and she is a female prisoner in Dongchang Prison,"

"Female prisoner,"

Chang Sihao and Qin Juexiang looked at each other, and they were both surprised.

Zheng Mengzhu said: "Yes, Guo Huaihong was also a woman on the rivers and lakes back then, her name was not very loud, as for what crime she committed, no one knows now, some people say that she was pregnant before she was imprisoned, and some people say that she was ** by the jailer, what is the truth, there is nothing to test, Guo Shu Ronghua followed his mother's surname, and the name he gave when he was born was originally Guo Ku, and Guo Nuxia died in prison half a year after giving birth to him, at that time, Xiao Guo Ku was just able to sit up, and he couldn't climb, someone wanted to throw him away, but was stopped by a cell boss,"

Qin Jue whispered: "And, he is kind," Sonam Gyatso closed his eyes and folded his eyes, and recited the Buddha,

Lord Zheng Meng took a breath and sighed slowly: "Alas...... Kindness may not be possible, the cell boss rescued Xiao Guo Ku, put a rope around his waist, tied it to the corner of his desk, and when he had nothing to do, he took off his boots and socks and asked him to lick his athlete's foot,"

Xiaoqing was coming up with a tea tray, her expression was distorted when she heard this, and she almost felt disgusted, Qin Juexiang laughed: "Uncle Zheng, why didn't you say this good thing earlier," touched Chang Sihao with the tip of his elbow: "No wonder, no wonder, he can't eat fragrant things with his stinky mouth, haha," Chang Sihao knew that he was talking about Guo eating stinky tofu in Xiaotangshan, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he stopped with his eyes, but Qin Juexiang laughed heartlessly, and he didn't realize it,

Zheng Mengzhu continued: "The cell head let him lick it for a while, and then sprinkled some wine on his feet, the original intention was to get rid of the ringworm poison, but he didn't expect it to be a fulfillment of Xiao Guo Ku, he had no one to feed, and he only relied on the skin of his feet and this little wine to sustain his life every day, and he actually stayed up for more than two months without dying, and he could crawl all over the ground, and the cell head's athlete's foot was cured, and he was very happy, so he led him to crawl and play in the prison every day, and also gave him some soup and porridge and rice from the prisoners, so he lived,"

Sonam Gyatso said: "Cause and effect are not created by the mind, and some seemingly evil deeds can often plant good roots, and the two of them can each get their own place, but it is a matter of chance, and my Buddha is compassionate,"

Zheng Meng said: "Yes, the creation of heaven will be used, and the creation of man will also give him life, who would have thought that such a child could survive tenaciously in Dongchang, be an officer at the age of nine, and be promoted to the head of the fourteenth grade, and then beat the two lines of 'dragon' and 'ghost', ascended to the position of deputy governor, and went all the way to today,"

The other four were all silent, each thinking about it, and after a while, Qin Juexiang asked, "Why did he change his name later?"

Zheng Mengzhu said: "That is when he got the opportunity one year to meet the great eunuch Huang Jin, at that time Feng Bao was still working under Huang Jin, not a good person, and Guo Xiang was quite temperamental, I heard him say that his name is Guo Ku, said that this name is not pleasing enough, Huang Gonggong likes to read people, you might as well change your name to Guo Shu, Guo Shu Ronghua hesitated again and again, saw Huang Jin, and sure enough, he reported this name, Huang Jin also liked him very much, in addition to adding an official to the post, he also gave him a name' Ronghua' this word gift, he to show gratitude, the word added to the name, and then called himself Guo Shu Ronghua, Huang Jin knew that he was very happy, and later he was able to become the governor, and Huang Jin also benefited greatly,"

Qin Juexiang said with a smile: "It turns out that he is also a family with a horse's ass, plus his feet and stinky tofu, which can be regarded as the three major artifacts in his life,"

Lord Zheng Meng shook his head and said: "In fact, before that, he had made outstanding achievements, but he was not likable, so it has been difficult to develop, Feng Bao's point can be said to be a major turning point in his life,"

Chang Sihao listened silently, and suddenly realized one thing: Guo Shuronghua trained Cheng Lian'an that day, maybe it was not for himself to see.

Could it be that he found a little bit of his shadow in this child, and felt distressed for his shadow to "make mistakes", Xun Cheng Lian'an, maybe he was really "good for him" from the bottom of his heart,

As soon as he thought of this, his face was astringently smiling, and at the same time, he felt an inexplicable horror and sadness spreading in his heart, and said: "I eat people in the army in order to survive, what about Cheng Lian'an, why is he?"

,, except that he eats not others, but himself,

What he eats is not flesh and blood, but his nature, conscience and soul, these things, he must eat nothing left, so that he can survive in Dongchang and in this world.

Chang Sihao's gaze suddenly became deep,

Cheng Lianan ate like this because Guo Shu Ronghua also ate like this back then, they not only want to eat themselves, but also let others eat too, eat themselves and then eat others, infinite repetition, infinite cycle, infinite inheritance, because this is "for his good", because this is "for his good", because this is "natural", because only in this way can everyone live, so everyone keeps eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating,

As soon as I thought of this, a strong feeling of nausea suddenly surged in my chest,

He found that this thing was more disgusting than licking a person's athlete's foot,

However......

"Where in the world is not the East Factory,"

The world is like this, no one has nowhere to escape, nowhere to avoid,

Cheng Lianan has already seen the way forward and accepted the reality, but he is the only one who realizes it later.
