Since moving to the Huang family, Zhang Dongwen and Chen Dongwu found that the Huang family really didn't seem as rich as they looked. Although the deep courtyard was very grand from the outside, the housekeepers and servants had simple meals every meal, and their food was even worse than the ancient stone temple. After inquiring, Zhang Dongwen learned that since the day Huang Yuanli took over the Huang family, all the tenants had been exempted from the rent of grain from the tenants. At first, the people below didn't think anything, and believed that the money and grain of the family were all earned by Mr. Huang in Beijing.
But later, after Huang Yufang was exiled, the source of money and grain seemed to be unaffected, so the people below began to discuss. The Huang Mansion had no purchase or sale, and there was no grain rent. Where did the money and grain come from? Furthermore, Huang Yuanli usually closed his eyes in the house during the day, but disappeared at night. What did he do? However, no one thought about it in a wrong way. It seems that Huang Yuanli has been in charge of the Huang Mansion for so many years, and Huang Xian's identity was not leaked at all.
A month passed in a flash, and the sky was clear and the wind was bright, and there was no sign of flooding. Just as Zhang Dongwen found the hall where Huang Yuanli was staying to ask for a clear understanding, a servant rushed to Huang Yuanli and reported that a Lord Shi, who claimed to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, asked for a meeting. Before Huang Yuanli decided to see him, there was a noise outside. It turned out that the so-called Lord Shi had actually rushed in with his subordinates.
Found that he wanted to avoid it but had no time to leave the house, Zhang Dongwen had to hide behind the screen. As a result, when the so-called Lord Shi spoke, Zhang Dongwen almost fell out of the screen. What kind of guy is Lord Shi from the Ministry of Revenue? Isn’t this voice the elder brother Shi Dongxian who suddenly disappeared back then?
Thinking back then, the Shidong Immortal mysteriously disappeared very suddenly. Even Zhang Dongwen wanted to find out where his master was, but he disappeared without having time. Unexpectedly, he appeared here and turned into the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. What was going on? Could this Shidong Immortal disappear from the capital to take the exam? Even if he won the top scorer, he was not promoted so quickly. In three years, he actually transformed from a stinky Taoist priest into the Minister of Revenue. What was going on? With this series of questions, Zhang Dongwen held his breath and listened carefully. He felt that the Shidong Immortal outside the screen was full of arrogance and arrogant words. Except for the same voice, his tone of speaking was as loud as that of the hipster and smiling senior brother back then.
"Huang Yuanwai, the imperial court is in urgent need of money and food. Since you are the people of the Ming Dynasty, donating grain to the country is a matter of your own. I have repeatedly asked you to come to the mansion for a discussion, but you turned a blind eye. What's the reason? Could it be that you dislike the humble position of this official and refuse to give it to you? Could it be that the emperor wants to come and invite you in person?" I heard that the tone of the stone cave fairy was cold, and there seemed to be a murderous aura between the lines.
"Master Shi misunderstood!" Compared to Shidong Immortal, Huang Yuanli was not too slow. "Huang is not doing his duty, but he really has no food to donate! Three years ago, the Huang Mansion had donated 30,000 stones of military rations. The Yellow River was flooded the country a thousand miles ago, and there were tens of thousands of victims. Our Huang Mansion opened a warehouse to release grain for 5,500 stones of grain for the people; last year, the drought was severe, and the rain had not fallen for a whole year, Huang Mansion opened a porridge farm, Jiezhou Mansion had no food to help the disaster relief. This year..." As soon as he said this year, Huang Yuanli paused, as if he was excited, almost said that he had leaked the secret of heaven. "This year, there was no food to donate in the mansion. I hope the court can be sympathetic!"
"All nonsense!" Shidongxian seemed to have not listened to Huang Yuanli's explanation at all. "Huang Yuanwai, I asked for food, but I did not eat it myself. This is what the emperor needed to use military service. The ancients said that those who knew the times were heroes. When Lord Huang deceived the emperor, he should have been exiled to his family. Thanks to the emperor's past contributions, he was relieved of the responsibility of the elders and young people of the Huang family. I think you should not let down the emperor's grace!" Speaking of this, Shidongxian sneered, "Man Huang, there will be good weather and no natural disasters this year. Could it be that many victims will ask you, Mr. Huang to open a warehouse to provide relief, right?"
"Master Shi, I have no food to donate!" Huang Yuanli's tone was plain, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or helpless. "I hope Master Shi can be sympathetic!" To be honest, behind the screen, Zhang Dongwen was almost anxious. He thought that although this old weasel had changed his human form for so many years, his mouth was far worse than a real person. In the end, there was no food to donate. You would like to say a few more words. You should also use some silver notes to bribe Shidongxian. Zhang Dongwen is quite familiar with the character of Shidongxian. This person is so fond of money as a life. Today's matter is clearly a threat to cheat money. Maybe a thousand taels of silver can solve it. Why don't you, an old weasel, understand?
"Mr. Huang, tomorrow, five hundred carriages will be waiting at the door of your mansion. Whether to load food or prisoners depends on your Mr. Huang's meaning! Hahahaha..." After saying that, Shidongxian left with his sleeves, but Huang Yuanli didn't say a word. Zhang Dongwen really flew out from behind the screen and stabbed the Shidongxian to death.
"Mr. Huang! You... hey! You're so anxious..." Shidongxian left, and Zhang Dongwen jumped out from behind the screen, "Mr. Huang, what's the matter with me when I invite Yang Shun to drink? Don't you know?"
"Haha, of course I know!" Huang Yuanli didn't seem as stupid as Zhang Dongwen imagined, "But this time, Lord Shi really can't just spend money!"
"Then...what does he want?" Zhang Dongwen frowned.
"Food!" Huang Yuanli said lightly, "The most shortage of food and supplies in the court is the court's military service in Liaodong. The Huang Mansion has the handle in their hands. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he will not let us go..."
"Hey?" Zhang Dongwen was helpless for a moment, "Then do we have that much food?"
"Yes!" Huang Yuanli was determined, "But tomorrow will be a disaster. These foods can obviously benefit 100,000 people. How can they donate them to the court for military service?"
"Mr. Huang, please forgive me for being rude..." To be honest, Zhang Dongwen has been holding back this question for a long time. Even if you are Huang Xianlingxian, you have the nature of gathering wealth and material resources, these tens of thousands of stones of food cannot be transformed by changing it... "Mr. Huang, I want to know where did you get so much food? Why can't you get the food for the people of Zhou Ji? "
"Haha! I am laughing!" Huang Yuanli smiled, not seeming to avoid this issue. "The grain was picked up!" After that, Huang Yuanli told Zhang Dongwen all the ways of collecting food. After hearing Huang Yuanli's statement, he had never shed tears since his master became a madman, and almost fell from tears. Huang Yuanli had always closed his eyes during the day and disappeared at night. It turned out that he took a group of his disciples and disciples to pick up food!
It is impossible to jump to the granary by yourself when you grow grain. There must be a transportation process. The food from the south to the north must be carried by the grain road, and the food from other places must be carried by the grain road when transporting grain from other places to the capital. The grain trucks will continue to harvest every autumn. During the transportation process, the grain from the grain trucks will fall onto the road, and the food used by Huang Yuanli, the body of a weasel, took a group of little demons and fairies from the grain road one by one!
"Huang Yuanwai! As a practitioner, please let me admire you! Please bow to me!" After saying that, Zhang Dongwen bowed to the ground with red eyes, and Huang Yuanli hurried forward to support him, "I am so polite. My actions are really the teachings of my brother!"
"Official Huang, I'm not sure about it. That Lord Shi is actually my senior brother. Although I don't have much contact with him, I should have a little bit of a slight face. I'm willing to go to plead for love, even if it's delayed, I'm afraid he wouldn't have urged him to donate after the flood, right?"
"Why, this person is your senior brother!" When Huang Yuanli, who had always been calm, was stunned when he heard Zhang Dongwen say this.
"Yes!" Shidongxian roughly explained to Huang Yuanli about the matter of his entry into the road and his master Yuhua Taoist Temple being occupied. "Does Mr. Huang think I can't understand him?"
"The Immortal Chief must not meet him again!" After listening to Zhang Dongwen's narration, Huang Yuanli's expression calmed down and gasped heavily, "This person has the aura of destroying the ancestor, and his hands are surrounded by evil light. I am afraid there is a great evil person. How dare I ask the Immortal Chief, can this person kill a person who practices?"
"As far as I know, no." Zhang Dongwen shook his head.
"You said that your master suddenly became a vicious person, and it is likely that he was killed by this person!" According to Huang Yuanli, any hand that has killed someone will be surrounded by a circle of blue light in his eyes. This kind of light is called a fierce light, and people cannot see it. No matter how high the cultivation level is, they can be seen as a spiritual immortal. If you kill an ordinary mortal, this fierce light can be easily resolved through practice. However, if you attack people like high monks and great masters, the fierce aura of this fierce light will be far higher than that of killing ordinary people, and will be surrounded by the murderer's hands for a lifetime, and no matter how you practice, it will be lingered.
"Master, he actually..." Speaking of this, Zhang Dongwen felt his blood surge, holding the sword and trying hard, but was stopped by Huang Yuanli. "Don't be impulsive! Immortal, forgive Xiaoxian for saying frankly, you are not his opponent!"
"What should I do then? Could it be that Master's grudge is like this!?" When he thought that he was a stinky Taoist priest at this moment, and that Shidong Immortal was already the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Both of them had no possibility of a duel, neither power nor skill, Zhang Dongwen actually sat on the ground and cried.
"Don't be sad..." Huang Yuanli also sighed, "It is said that a gentleman takes revenge. It's not too late for ten years. Immortal is very successful in practicing, so it's not too late to take revenge again!"
"If the master is not here, what will I do to practice?" Zhang Dongwen wiped his tears, "I practice, he practices too. He is the minister. How can I take revenge?"
"The Immortal Chief..." Seeing Zhang Dongwen's decadent appearance, Huang Yuanli seemed to be struggling with thoughts, "I know some magic. If the Immortal Chief doesn't dislike it, I am willing to teach magic to the Immortal Chief, which is also considered to repay the Immortal Chief's grace to share the difficulties. How about it?"
"Uh?" Zhang Dongwen was also stunned when he heard Huang Yuanli say this. He has been a spiritual immortal scholar since ancient times. Now people learn magic from spiritual immortals, but for the first time in ancient times. Fortunately, Zhang Dongwen is not a man who demands traditions. At this moment, he is hungry for revenge. After Huang Yuanli says this, he kowtowed, "Master is here, and I will be bowed by my disciple!"
"Immortal Chief is going to destroy the old man!" Huang Yuanli hurriedly helped Zhang Dongwen up, "Immortal Chief, you and me are not the same kind, and you don't have to be called master and disciple. I will teach you the immortal method to avenge the immortal elder, so don't use it as a place elsewhere!"
"Yeah!" Zhang Dongwen wiped his tears and burst into tears like a child, "Huang Yuanwai, now there is only one night left before the Shi's surname is here to collect the debt, I don't know...?"
"Haha, since the day I saw the immortal elder, I saw the immortal elder eyebrows gathered with my fairy roots. Learning my magic is enough for a night!" Huang Yuanli held Zhang Dongwen's hand, as if he was to learn it. "Immortal elder, please follow me!"
The place where magic is learned is not elsewhere, it is the "Inner Warehouse" that can only be penetrated in the "dog hole". Although the magic taught by Huang Yuanli sounds ordinary, they are all magics that cannot be learned in the world. To put it bluntly, it is a change method. The body of a mortal can be transformed into birds, snakes and beasts. The method of command is used, and once this method is used, all beasts obey orders, and the power of commands is to command hundreds of beasts. The method of miasma is Huang Xian's secret ability, and he can smell when he escapes.
Qi, but the qi released by this immortal technique is not just stench. It can definitely be sealed without blood. When you encounter a shallow practice, you will explain it. Before, Zhang Dongwen always felt that he was slow to learn things. His master could not learn some magic for half a year or a year. At this time, he learned three magics from Huangxian and learned them well in just one night. Zhang Dongwen never expected that the magic of the spiritual immortal was much easier to learn than the Taoist methods in the world.
"Haha, it seems that Master Chu is really unique!" Seeing that Zhang Dongwen had learned magic so quickly, Huang Yuanli sighed, "Immortal, Lord Shi will come to the mansion to urge food tomorrow, and I will all come to socialize. Immortal, you can turn into a bird, and then this is like this..." Huang Yuanli whispered in Zhang Dongwen's ear, and Zhang Dongwen was surprised when he heard this. He wanted to say that this old weasel was really real, but when he made up a plan, he was really a hundred times smarter than a mortal...
the next day.
As the sky was dawn, countless official troops were indeed driving carriages in line at the gate of Huang Mansion. In front of the carriage, they carried large sedan chairs in eight, and they knew who they were sitting in the sedan chair without asking.
Before the official army could smash the door, Huang Yuanli opened the door with the servants to welcome him. Then countless servants carried large and small bags of grain into the carriage, and they didn't even use the official army to speak. In a short while, hundreds of carriages were actually filled with grain.
"Hmph, it seems that you can't know how bitter your flesh is if you don't beat me..." I saw that the curtain of the eight large sedan chairs was lifted, and the person who got off the sedan chair was Shidongxian. "Huang Mansion has made contributions to donating grain in Huang's house. I, Shi, will definitely report to the priest! Goodbye!" After saying that, with the gesture of Shidongxian, the sedan chairman became arrogant, and hundreds of carriages behind began to move slowly. No one noticed at this time, and the sparrow had quietly landed on the top of the sedan chair...
Outside the county town is a bamboo forest, with a radius of dozens of miles, with wild animals present. The official road in the middle of the bamboo forest is the only way to transport traffic to Beijing. When the food and grass team arrived at the bamboo forest, a tiger roar instantly broke the tranquility of dawn. The pulling horses were panicked, and even the official army escorted the cart had a brief chaos.
"What's going on!" The Shidongxian in the sedan chair seemed to feel a little strange, and opened the curtain to ask the sedan chairperson.
"Sir Qi, there is an occasional tiger roar in the bamboo forest, which scared the animals pulling the cart..." As he was speaking, the sedan chairwoman was stunned and almost speechless, "Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...
Following the handmaster's finger, Shidongxian looked back and saw that the endless wolves had surrounded the convoy. The officials on both sides were panicked. To measure the number of wolves, these few escorts were obviously not opponents.
