Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2013 Commoners

Speaking of the past, the female ghost Wang's face was full of resentment and unwillingness, her eyes were burning, but there were also tears.

At this point, a historical mystery has finally become clear.

Rao Shi nodded and said: "Okay, I already know about this, but every injustice has its own owner and every debt has its owner. Your enemy is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but why did he cause trouble in the Qing Palace?"

"We had a quarrel back then, but the Dog Emperor invited experts to suppress it." Wang hesitated for a moment and said: "Outside the gate of Chuxiu Palace, there were two rockeries that suppressed us. But this time we were suppressed. Repair the palace and move the rockery so that we can escape.”

So it turned out that Bu Zhenxin and Rao Shi looked at each other, and only then did they know the reason.Not long ago, there was indeed some construction work outside Chuxiu Palace, but they didn't want to release a bunch of female ghosts.

"So... what do you do before you can leave?" Rao Shi asked.

"Reporting to Master Dao, we have been suppressed for 200 years and have suffered terribly. It would be best if you showed mercy and sent us to reincarnate." said the female ghost Wang.

Rao Shi nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you listen to me, I will promise you. Now, I will draw the spell first, collect your souls, and then distribute them to you on a different day, okay?"

All the ghosts jumped for joy and kowtowed together to express gratitude.

The next thing is easy to handle, Rao Shi spent dozens of soul-absorbing talismans to collect these female ghosts one by one.Although Rao Shi's morality is not high, but the female ghosts cooperated very well, so everything went smoothly.

Even so, Rao Shi was still worried that these female ghosts would change their mind, so he wrapped all these paper charms in cloth on the blood-swallowing knife, and used the powerful murderous intent of the blood-swallowing knife to frighten these female ghosts.

After packing everything up, it was already light white in the east and dawn was about to come.

"Master Bu, we can do business this time. You clean up the Yanghe Hall first, and I'll go outside to pee." Rao Shi said while holding up his pants and walking outside.

Bu Zhenxin hurriedly agreed, packed up the tables and chairs in Yanghe Hall, and tried to return them to their proper places.

But before they were ready, they heard Rao Shi yelling from outside, as brutally as killing a pig: "Ah, ah, ah..."

"Taoist Master, what's wrong with you?" Bu Zhenxin was shocked, turned around and rushed out of the hall.

Beside the rockery outside the hall, Rao Shi's sword was dropped on the ground, holding his right arm, his face full of pain, and blood was dripping from his right arm.

"Taoist Priest, are there any evil spirits?" Bu Zhenxin looked around and asked anxiously.

"There was an...evil ghost who sneak-attacked me...I beat him to death, but...my arm is...wasted." Rao Shi said with difficulty, his face pale.

Bu Zhenxin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It doesn't matter if you lose an arm, as long as your life is safe. Let's go, Taoist priest, I will carry you out to find the imperial doctor."

"Thank you, thank you so much... Lord Bu, it's just that from now on, Pindao can no longer serve the prince and the court. Alas... I hate it!" Rao Shi sighed and lay on Bu Zhenxin's back, but there was a hint of laughter at the corner of his mouth. A treacherous smile comes.

The injury on his arm was caused by himself and was intentional.

Rao Shi naturally knew the dangers of catching ghosts in the palace this time. Although he succeeded by luck, would he still be so lucky if he encountered similar things in the future?Therefore, Rao Shi had the intention to quit and cut himself off in order to protect himself in his old age.

Moreover, if you succeed in catching ghosts this time, you will be rewarded a lot for your skills. Since you have lost an arm, the rewards must be even more.

Wouldn't it be nice to keep these bounties for the rest of my life, become a rich man, buy high-rise buildings and fertile land, marry three or five wives, and hug each other?
This is Rao Shi's treachery. Bu Zhenxin is a rough guy, how can he tell Rao Shi's thoughts?
Outside Chuxiu Palace, a dozen eunuchs and a team of Qing palace guards were waiting anxiously and nervously.Seeing Rao Shi covered in blood, everyone rushed forward to arrange treatment.

After the wounds were simply bandaged, Rao Shi and Bu Zhenxin were put on the carriage and sent outside the palace.

At the palace gate, Prince Li came to pick him up in person. When he saw him, he asked, "How is it?"

"Lai Shengsheng, Prince Hongfu, and all the monsters in Chuxiu Palace have been wiped out by me. It's just that the poor man is not good at learning and has lost an arm." Rao Shi expressed his merit and complained again.

Prince Li put his hand on his forehead and said happily: "Okay, okay, I can finally explain to the emperor. Taoist priest, you have done the most great work this time. Don't worry, the silver reward is indispensable to you. Let alone losing an arm, even if it is lost, Even if I eat two or three pieces, I won’t starve to death, haha!”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Rao Shi thanked him hurriedly, but he was cursing in his heart, I'm not an eight-legged fish, how can I get so many arms?

After returning to Bu Zhenxin's house, Rao Shi took care of himself for a few days and his spirits improved.Only the tendons of his right arm were broken and hanging limply.

As for allocating female ghosts, Rao Shi did not have the ability to communicate with the underworld, but he could find connections and worship the City God everywhere. Finally, he met the City God who was efficacious and accepted the female ghosts.

Prince Li sent someone to deliver the bounty, a total of 100 taels, and Rao Shi and Bu Zhenxin split the sum in half.

Rao Shi left the capital and returned to his hometown a month later with these 50 taels of gold.From then on, it is no wonder that he will be wealthy, well-clothed and well-fed, and have descendants for the rest of his life.

Bu Zhenxin, however, has been serving in the Ministry of Punishment as the first executioner. With a blood-swallowing knife in his hand, he continues to carry out the beheading mission of the Qing Dynasty.

Just three months after Chu Xiu Palace collected the ghosts, Bu Zhenxin suddenly received a message from Prince Li, asking him to bathe, change clothes, and go to the palace with a blood-swallowing knife.

"Is there also a haunting incident in Prince Li's house?" Bu Zhenxin wondered while taking a bath.

After bathing, Bu Zhenxin changed into a new set of clothes, dressed neatly, and took a small sedan to the palace.

Entering the palace through the corner gate, under the leadership of the servant, walking through several corridors, Bu Zhenxin came to the pavilion in the back garden of the palace.

It was early afternoon, around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking from a distance, three people were sitting in the pavilion.

Prince Li is sitting on the west side, and on the north side is a middle-aged man with elegant appearance, but dignified and majestic, and full of domineering air.

There is another person on the east side, wearing commoner clothes and disheveled hair, playing chess with the people on the north side, acting calmly and looking calm.

Who is this commoner?Bu Zhenxin was extremely depressed and couldn't guess the identity of this person.

Because people in the Qing Dynasty were not like today where they could have any hairstyle.After the Manchus entered the customs, they were forced to shave their heads. Everyone had to shave the front of their heads bald and grow their long hair into big braids.

But there are two kinds of people who can be exceptions.One is a monk, who is originally bald and does not need to have braids on the back of his head; the other is a Taoist priest, who can grow his hair and tie it on top, following the old system.

And the commoner who played chess didn't wear a monk's robe, but he also had long hair, and let it drape over his shoulders.In Bu Zhenxin's eyes, this is really unbelievable.

Bu Zhenxin just took a sneak look and didn't dare to look again. He walked forward quickly, lifted up the official hem, knelt on the ground and said, "My servant Bu Zhenxin has met the prince."

Prince Li turned aside, raised his hands to the middle-aged man in the north seat, and said, "Bu Zhenxin, I have met Long Live Lord first."
