Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 106 Method
Meng Jing didn't expect that Master Jue Ming, whom she had always admired and regarded as a friend for many years, would do such vicious things when she was young.

The whole person froze in place, and after a long while, he raised his head, looked at Master Jueming, and asked in a deep voice, "With the kindness of the master back then, if you gave Miss Yuan a knife, did you really save it for her to kill herself?" mean?"

Master Jueming twitched his temples when he heard Meng Jing's questioning, and turned around after a long time, looked at him and said, "Amitabha, I am a monk after all, and I listen to Buddha's teachings every day, so how can I act rashly? "

"Really?" Chu Ci unknowingly turned cold. She got up and looked straight at him, and asked back, "If you have evil intentions and prostitute your fiancée, wouldn't it be considered a breach of the precept?"

"This... How can the killing ring be compared with the lust ring!" Master Jueming turned pale and forcefully defended himself.

Chu Ci sneered, "But Miss Yuan committed suicide because of you!"

"That's because she misunderstood what I meant." Master Jueming lowered his eyes, and kept turning the rosary in his hand.After a while, he said again, "For so many years, I have opened up philanthropic halls, increased medical supplies and donated medicines, and saved the world. I have redeemed enough sins... Not to mention anything else, the youngest son of the concubine and the prince, no Is it because of my kindness that you can be brought back to life?"

Neither Chu Ci nor Meng Jing could refute this point.

Both of them looked sideways, and after their eyes collided, it took a long time before they separated.

Meng Jing took a few steps forward, stopped Chu Ci behind him, looked at Master Jueming again, and said, "Master is willing to tell the truth about the past today, but maybe he has other ideas?"

Master Jueming was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked softly, "Then I don't know what the prince thinks, what is this old man's picture?"

Meng Jing sneered, as if she was laughing at her ignorance of people, and also as if she was laughing at Master Jueming's idiotic dream, "Zuo is just asking for repayment, please feel at ease."

"...Will the prince agree with this old man?" Seeing that Meng Jing had broken his mind, Master Jue Ming stopped circling around, looked him in the eyes, and asked with a gentle smile.

Meng Jing looked at the smile in his eyes and felt it was very ironic. After a long time, she shook her head lightly, "What Xin'er owes you is a life-saving favor, and what this king can repay you in the future is only a life-saving debt." Well, as for other things, please forgive me for not being able to promise."

"I also invite Master to go back—so I can do it myself!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around, grabbed Chu Ci's sleeve and walked out.

After leaving the box, Chu Ci broke away from the sleeves that were being held by Meng Jing, looked at the closed door of the box, and said in a low voice, "Mr. When I think about it... he is much meaner and vicious than I imagined."

Meng Jing glanced at her, didn't speak to her, but motioned her to go downstairs together.

Chu Ci followed him and walked down slowly. On the stairs, he couldn't help but looked at Meng Jing and asked, "Tell me, if he didn't give us the bead string back then, wouldn't there be one?" today?"

Hearing her question, Meng Jing suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at her, and said seriously, "A Ci, people's greed is endless. The difference is that when he was young, he was sexually attracted to women. , greedy for power, and now, it is greedy for fame. Greedy for women and power, you may get tired of it after you get it, but fame, the kind of thing that will last forever, will never get tired, it will only be disgusting enough. "

"That's it..." Chu Ci carefully chewed the meaning of his words, and after a while, looked at Meng Jing and asked, "What about the prince, what are you greedy for?"

"What do you think?" Meng Jing squinted at her.

Looking at her was naked like never before.

Chu Ci felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw him, so he laughed dryly and walked downstairs with his arms folded.

King Lu Xiaojun was drinking tea in the box downstairs. Chu Ci remembered that it was in box No. [-] in Tianzi... She followed the route in her memory to Tiandi No. [-]. Before she got there, she heard There was an uproar.

Among them, there are many women's coquettish cries and bully's shouting and cursing.

When I walked to the door, I saw a girl in white with pear blossoms and rain was crying while holding his husband's leg, and beside the two of them stood four or five vicious men, shouting in their mouths, this girl has been killed. Her elder brother who was a bad gambler was sold to a brothel to pay off his debts.

Her husband-in-law was full of reluctance, especially when he saw her appearing at the door, he was like an eagle seeing a rabbit, breaking away from the beauty's embrace with lightning speed, and immediately ran towards her , held her arm, and explained with a flustered face, "Lady, the emperor is above and the earth is below, I swear, this is none of my business, I... I just want to go upstairs to see if you have finished talking, Who knows, as soon as I walked into the lobby, this girl ran in and insisted on jumping on me, begging me to save her... But I was afraid that my wife would be jealous, so I didn't dare to touch other girls, so I rushed to the box desperately I didn't expect that the more I ran, the more energetic this girl would be... Then you came, my lady, and you saw everything behind."

The tone of the last sentence can be said to be quite aggrieved.

When Chu Ci heard this, his heart almost melted, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand, patted his face lightly, and boasted, "Xianggong is so good!"

After saying that, he crossed his arms and folded his chest, and looked at the four or five strong men leisurely, "Tell me, how much money does that girl owe you?"

"200 taels!" Seeing Chu Ci's luxurious clothes and outstanding temperament, the strong man in the lead immediately stopped his flag and said in a rough voice, "Her brother owes us 200 taels!"

"200 taels?" Chu Ci said, turning his head to look at King Lu Xiaojun, "Sir, do you have any bank notes with you?"

When King Lu Xiaojun heard this, he looked at Chu Ci pitifully, and said softly, "My lady, don't you have all my money, let alone 200 taels, even if I don't have 20 taels."

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci touched his nose in embarrassment, "Okay, pretend I didn't ask."

Then he lowered his head, took two 100 taels from his purse, threw them to the leading strong man and said, "Give me her deed of sale, and she will be mine from now on!"

The strong man saw that Chu Ci took the money neatly, but after thinking about it for a while, he even pushed the woman over with her body deed.

Chu Ci took it, handed it over to King Lu Xiaojun to verify the authenticity, and waved his hand to let those strong men leave first.

Then he looked at the crying little beauty with pear blossoms and rain, and asked, "What's your name, and what's the situation at home, tell me about it?"

Knowing that it was Chu Ci who saved her, the woman hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, "Thank you Madam for saving my life. The slave girl's surname is Zhao, and her girlfriend's name is Chanjuan. She is 15 years old this year. My mother passed away when she gave birth to me. My father and elder brother depend on each other for life. My father is a scholar, and the family situation is not good, but there are some family assets..."

"But a year ago, since my father passed away, my elder brother became addicted to gambling for some reason. After a few months, not only did he lose all his family property, but he also lost all the dowry of his servants. Since then, the family has been impoverished."

"My servant knows that gambling is a harmful thing, and I have persuaded my brother, but who knows, because of this, my brother has moved to use my servant to pay back the gambling money."

"The slaves are unwilling to be stepped into such dirty places, so they have to escape desperately..."

"Then...how did you escape?" Chu Ci asked thoughtfully, "The ones chasing you just now were four or five strong men, and the nearest Flower Street is three streets away from Desheng Building! "

"Back to the girl, it's because the slave's mother was born in the army, and the little uncle is the youngest bodyguard in the mighty bodyguard agency in the capital. The slave often went to his grandfather's house when he was a child. After a long time, he also learned a few sets of boxing skills. It’s not particularly powerful, but it can still run away from two or three strong men.”

"Since you still have grandparents in your family, why didn't you go to your grandparents' house early?"

When Zhao Chanjuan heard Chu Ci mentioning her grandfather's family, Yingying's tears overflowed again, "It's my brother... He, he has offended my grandfather's family completely since he became addicted to gambling. He even threatened my grandfather's family. The uncle of the ancestral family, if they dare to take me away, then he dares... he dares to take money from my uncle's cousin."

"And the servant girl was afraid that my uncle's family would be implicated, so I had no choice but to cut off contact with my grandfather's family!"

"So that's how it is!" Chu Ci let go of her doubts after listening to her explain everything clearly, then stepped forward to help her up, and said, "I think you have nowhere to go now, so let's go first." Come back with me, and I will send you back to your grandfather's house when the matter with your brother is resolved in the future."

"Thank you ma'am, ma'am's kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by slaves and servants." As he spoke, he bowed to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci nodded, then winked at King Lu Xiaojun, and the three of them walked out together.

Outside Desheng Building.

Han Zhe watched as the three of them got into the carriage in the distance and headed east.

Thinking of the scene I saw just now outside Room No. [-] in Tiandi, I couldn't help but glance at my master, and said with complicated eyes, "My lord is sometimes too cold!"

"Huh?" Meng Jingfang came back to his senses, looked at Han Zhe, and asked suspiciously.

Han Zhe brought up the scene where King Lu Xiaojun acted coquettishly to Chu Ci again, and then emphasized emphatically, "Maybe, Doctor Chu will just take one thing at a time!"

After hearing this, Meng Jing glared at her guard fiercely, and snorted disdainfully, "Does this king look like such a vicious man?"

Han Zhe: "...not like that."

Meng Jing glared at him again, then rode her horse towards the Prince Regent's Palace.

Chu Ci took Zhao Chanjuan back to Chu Ci.

After entering the door, he directly handed him over to the dumb girl to settle down.

When the dumb girl heard that she was Chuci's new servant, she couldn't help but look at the beautiful woman in front of her, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what to call the girl?"

Zhao Chanjuan made a salute, and said softly, "My name is Chanjuan. The girl hasn't been given a name yet, so my aunt will call me first!"

"Okay, then I'll call you Chanjuan from now on!" Mute girl said, and took her to the back room where the servants lived, saying as she walked, "I'll take you back to the room to freshen up, and then Then I will make clothes for you and tell you about the rules in the house."

"Chanjuan listens to auntie." Zhao Chanjuan said extremely gently.

Listening to the dumb girl, she felt that this girl was made of the same water, and she couldn't help secretly suspecting - can such a young lady be able to do rough work?If you can't do it, then the girl may pay for this person if she buys it!

No, she will have to talk to the girl later, if there are more people added to the mansion next time, she must be taken to have a look, otherwise what will I do with a lot of Miss Jiao, who will serve the girl, or the girl will serve them? !

On the other side, in the bedroom.

King Lu Xiaojun and Chu Ci drank tea together.

After a cup, the little county king couldn't help it, and said, "The situation is chaotic now, and my lady is just so loudly bringing people into the mansion, aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

Chu Ci looked at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "If you put people under your nose, what kind of trouble can there be? Let me tell you, those who hide in the dark are the trouble!"

"Then according to what the lady said, is it just a trick?" King Lu Xiaojun asked back.

Chu Ci shook his head, "I don't know if it's up to me to plan. I don't know if the girl has any problems. Let's wait for a while and talk about it. If there are no bad intentions, I don't mind helping her solve that big brother gambling."

"What if you have a bad heart?"

"I have a thousand ways to make him survive or die."

When he said this, Chu Ci's expression was a bit cruel.

When King Lu Xiaojun listened, his back felt cold.

He carefully held Chu Ci's hand, looked her in the eyes, and flattered him, "My lady, I will never betray you in this life, I only love you, only spoil you, other women, up to 80 years old, Until I was eight years old, I wouldn't take a second look!"

"Then Xianggong...you are really cute!" Chu Ci gently squeezed his face, with a triumphant smile on his face.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for dinner.

When Chu Ci was eating, he felt that the dumb girl's expression was a little bit wrong.

However, because of the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping, it is not easy for her to ask.

It wasn't until the dinner was finished and the dishes were put away that she looked at Zhejin and said, "You ask Aunt Wu to come over, I have something to ask her."

The dumb girl's husband's family name is Wu, and all the servants in the Chu residence will call her Aunt Wu.

Zhejin moved quickly, as soon as she ordered her to go down, Aunt Wu raised the curtain and walked in.

"I heard from Miss Zhejin that she is looking for something for me?" After Aunt Wu entered the door, she saluted awkwardly before asking.

Chu Ci nodded, and asked her to sit down before asking, "Aunt Wu, you have been in a trance during dinner, hesitating to speak, but there is something difficult at home, if it is convenient, you can say Let me hear it, if it can be resolved, it will save you from worrying about it."

When Aunt Wu heard what Chu Ci said, her eyes were red at that time. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a cotton kerchief, looked at Chu Ci and said, "I have something to tell you, girl, but it's your family's business. It's a house thing."

"What's going on in the house?" Chu Ci guessed, and asked suspiciously, "But the new girl doesn't obey discipline, making you upset?"

Aunt Wu shook her head, nodded again, and then whispered, "It's related to Chanjuan, but it's not that she refuses to be disciplined..."

"Why is that?" Chu Ci asked.

Aunt Wu said embarrassingly, "That girl is good-natured and polite, but... just looking at her delicately, she doesn't seem to be able to use foul language at all... And what I mean is, come on, girl. The main thing is to buy another person, can you take me with you, so as to serve as the girl's staff, pick a capable person to come back... let the girl's money be used wisely."

Chu Ci patiently listened to her and finally understood what Aunt Wu meant.

For a while, it was funny and heartwarming.

Aunt Wu, probably the second elder who gave her heart and soul after she came to Yunchao.

The first one, of course, is the grandmother Mrs. Lu.

"Girl... do you think what I said makes sense?" After Aunt Wu finished speaking, seeing that Chu Ci was still silent, she couldn't help asking another question.

Hearing her question cautiously, Chu Ci hurriedly said, "What you said is very reasonable. I will write it down. Next time I go to buy someone, I will definitely bring you with me. Pick a few people and come back. I will never pick someone again." Miss Jiao like Chanjuan must spend every penny wisely!"

When Aunt Wu heard that her opinion was adopted, she suddenly became excited, stood up, turned to Chu Cifu again and again, and then went out to do her own business.

Chu Ci watched her leave.

Not long after, Zhejin came in from the outside. When he reached Chu Ci, he blessed his lower body and said softly, "Girl, Mr. Yuan has returned and is having dinner now. Do you want to invite him over later?"

When Chu Ci heard her mention Yuan Han, he immediately thought of meeting Master Jueming in Desheng Tower today.

My mood became heavy again, and after a long time, I nodded slightly, and told Zhejin, "I'll wait for Mr. to talk to him after finishing his meal! Just say... I'll wait for him at the pharmacy!"

"Yes, girl!" Zhejin took the order and left.

Chu Ci cleaned up briefly again, and then walked towards the pharmacy in the backyard.

In the pharmacy, the lights are on.

She pushed the door open and found Zai Si'er inside.

Seeing her coming in, Si'er was also surprised, "Why did my sister come here suddenly? Are you looking for some medicine?"

Chu Ci shook his head, "It's not that I'm looking for medicine, but I've made an appointment with Mr. Yuan, and I have some things to discuss later."

"Then I'll go out first!" Si'er smiled winkingly, and then he shook hands with Chu Ci, and was about to walk out.

Chu Ci looked at his back, remembered something, and suddenly called out to him.

"Does sister have any other orders?" Si'er stopped, looked at Chu Ci, and asked softly with a bright smile.

Chu Ci waved to him, motioned him to sit down on the opposite chair, and then talked to him about the upcoming worship of Yuan Han as his teacher.After a pause, he asked him again, "Do you want to worship the poison king as your teacher?"

Si'er didn't expect Chu Ci to ask him this question, so he was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickered for a long time, then raised his head again, and asked cautiously, "I... can I?"

"If you are willing, I will persuade Mr. to agree!"

"Then I am willing!" Si'er said without hesitation.

Subconsciously, he wanted to get closer to Chu Ci, and even closer.

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci didn't think much, just nodded with a smile, "Well, I'll mention it to my husband later, if my husband agrees, then we will formally become teachers someday."

"Yes, sister!" Si'er nodded in response.

Afterwards, Chu Ci cared about some of his daily life.

The four children said everything one by one.

Chu Ci made sure that he was not wronged, so he let him go out.

After that, she waited for more than a quarter of an hour before Yuan Han walked in from the outside.

"Why, finally went to that bald donkey Jueming to ask clearly about the past?" The little old man asked while leaning on Si'er's chair as soon as he came in.

Chu Ci nodded, "Yes, today, I went to see the regent and Jueming."

"What did the bald thief say?" the little old man asked holding back his anger while holding the arm of the chair tightly.

Chu Ci frowned when he heard his question, and said, "In general, there is not much to check with what you said, the only difference is the knife."

"The knife? What did he say?" Yuan Han stood up abruptly, glaring at Chu Ci angrily.

Chu Ci sighed, "Sir, don't get excited, listen to me, and then make plans, okay?"

When Yuan Han heard the words, he slammed hard at the nearest table and said angrily, "How can I not be excited, that thief is bald, killed Meiniang twice, and dared to quibble and confuse the public, how can I not be excited, I Why don't you get angry, I wish I could kill him!"

"..." Hearing the last sentence of the little old man, Chu Ci seemed to be thinking of something, and suddenly asked suspiciously, "By the way, sir, it stands to reason that your poison technique has been cultivated to this point, let alone killing Jueming One, even killing the entire Chengtian Temple will not be a problem, why haven't you done it for so many years!"

Yuan Han heard you asking Chuci, the anger in the corners of his eyes and brows suddenly turned into helplessness and pain, "You are right, with my poison technique, it is indeed very easy to kill him, but...however, Master is here When he passed away, he asked me to swear a poisonous oath to him, not to hurt any disciples in Chengtian Temple, not only that, I have to protect them!"

"So, sir, because of his promise to his late mentor, he endured it for so many years and didn't attack Jueming?"

"Yes, because of that one promise to my mentor, I have endured it for more than 80 years, more than 80 years!" Yuan Han said, tears flickering in his eyes.

Chu Ci sighed, "Heavenly, it's too cruel to Mister!"

Yuan Han stretched out his hand and slashed at a chair, and the scattered sawdust flew around in the pharmacy.

In the midst of this chaos, Chu Ci narrowed his eyes, fixedly looked at the centenarian opposite, and said, "Master, I will help you avenge, but promise me, can you take one more apprentice?"

Yuan Han looked at her in disbelief after hearing what Chu Ci said, "You said, are you going to avenge me?"

"That's right!" Chu Ci nodded, "I will avenge Master, I have a way!"

"What method?" Yuan Han raised his breath and used lightness kung fu, and suddenly approached Chu Ci.

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Master only promises that his mentor will not hurt people in Chengtian Temple, so as long as Jueming is expelled from Chengtian Temple, Master can take revenge with his own hands, can't he?"

"That old thief bald was expelled from Chengtian Temple? How is this possible! Now he is a living sign of Chengtian Temple, who can expel him from Chengtian Temple!"

"The imperial court!" Chu Ci spat out two words coldly.
