Chapter 396: Tian Lu Xing·Yang Xiong! [Seeking monthly votes]
"Master, do you mean that I want to fake my death and leave?"
Chai Jin was very smart. When Qiao Daoqing talked about death, he immediately thought of a way to fake his death and get out of this situation. Otherwise, if he, a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty, rashly left his fiefdom, the court would never let it go.
Qiao Daoqing asked:
"Are you willing to give up your current status, Mr. Chai?"
"Of course I am willing. Just like a bird in a cage, if I can fly high, I will naturally not miss this opportunity!"
For others, the status of a royal noble represents fine clothes and food and endless wealth, but for the people of the Chai family, it is like a shackle.
Every move is monitored, there is no freedom, and you have to be careful when you speak. You are completely a puppet.
When the throne was abdicated, the Chai family was still a big family, but by Chai Jin's generation, the main line of the Chai family was left with only Chai Jin, who was alone.
Now that he has a chance to break free from this cage, Chai Jin is overjoyed:
"May I ask, Taoist priest, how do I do it specifically?"
For Qiao Daoqing, who is proficient in illusion, this is quite simple:
"After tonight, I will start to pretend to be you. Tomorrow, I will invite all my friends and guests to a banquet together. During the banquet, I will spit out blood, point my finger at Tokyo, and curse Gao Qiu until I die."
Dying in public will definitely cause a shock, and cursing Gao Qiu will tell the world that it was Gao Qiu who framed him to death.
The reason why he didn't curse the Zhao Song royal family or Huizong is mainly to prepare for the future.
When Liu Bei confronts the Song Dynasty, he will be resurrected on the spot and denounce Zhao Ji's family for their ruthlessness and heartlessness. The effect will be even more sensational and can greatly undermine the legitimacy of the Zhao Song royal family.
Even the dead are resurrected and denounced the current emperor, which shows that Zhao Song is indeed morally deficient.
Chai Jin put down his wine glass and bowed to Qiao Daoqing:
"I'll take care of everything, Taoist priest!"
Since he met Liu, Guan and Zhang in the spring, Chai Jin started to buy horses and secretly transferred his property that was difficult to cash to Qilin Village.
The transfer method was also very clever. Qilin Village sent people to pretend to be heroes who came to seek refuge. Chai Jin naturally treated them with good wine and food, and then they became friends and gave them a lot of gold and silver or valuable items that were difficult to cash.
In this way, the property was transferred away, and Chai Jin also got the reputation of a prodigal son.
In the end, even Zhao Ji couldn't stand it anymore, and specially sent an imperial edict, warning Chai Jin to be frugal and not to bring shame to the ancestors of the Chai family.
Chai Jin respectfully accepted the order, and then wrote a letter on the spot for the eunuch to take back, saying that his family was really struggling to make ends meet, and asked His Majesty to allocate some money and food, and by the way, another 100 or 180 pieces of silk to make a set of clothes.
The clothes he was wearing now were saved by his uncle Chai Huangcheng when he was young. He was flaunting them in the streets every day, which was really a disgrace to the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji didn't believe a single stroke of Chai Jin's letter, but he didn't believe it. As long as the Chai family cried poor, he had to prepare these money and food supplies.
Who asked his ancestors to rob someone else's throne?
It won't be long before these money and food will appear in the warehouse of Qilin Village, and some rare gadgets will be sent to the real world and put into the safe.
After more than half a year of tossing, the Chai family manor has become an empty shell and can be left at any time.
Chai Jin didn't have many trusted subordinates. In the past, due to his personality, he looked down on everyone, so he got the nickname of Little Tornado.
Since he slept with Liu Bei and had a heart-to-heart talk, Chai Jin's pattern has opened up, his vision has become higher, and he looks down on those fly-hunting people in the manor even more.
Shi Xiu touched the gold-inlaid jade wine glass in his hand and said regretfully:
"It's a pity that Pengju didn't come with me, otherwise these things could be sent to the real world, and the master would like them very much."
Chai Jin waved his hand and said:
"This kind of wine vessel is nothing, I will have the opportunity to find a better one in the future... It's a pity that I can't go to the real world, otherwise I will definitely go there to pay my respects sincerely and listen to the master's teachings..."
Qiao Daoqing waved his hand:
"You can go, but you can't come back after you go. Either settle in the real world or go to another world... … Mr. Chai is undercover this time, and he is also thinking about whether to stay and follow the emperor's uncle to build a career, or leave here and find a new direction. "
"Don't worry, Taoist priest, I will think about it seriously."
When the chat was almost over, the three of them got up and left. Chai Jin pulled Qiao Daoqing and Shi Xiu and said:
"I hit it off with you two. Tonight we will talk all night long and talk until the end of time!"
After that, he staggered and pulled Shi Xiu and Qiao Daoqing to the backyard where he lived, and took out his clothes for the two to choose.
Qiao Daoqing was not polite and changed into a set of brocade clothes, and soon he looked like Chai Jin.
Chai Jin glued on a beard, let his hair loose, and then changed into a Taoist robe.
Qiao Daoqing wiped his face, and a brand new Qiao Daoqing appeared.
After changing his identity, Qiao Daoqing also deliberately chatted with Chai Jin for a while to learn Chai Jin's way of speaking and accent.
"Master Chai, try not to talk tomorrow, just watch quietly. When I pretend to vomit blood and die, you can leave in the chaos. Don't worry about me. I will get out before the coffin is closed and buried."
With Qiao Daoqing's ability, he would not use illusion again at the step of entering the coffin, and let everyone nail a phantom into the coffin.
When he comes back to life, he can just pull out the coffin, or blow up the tomb directly, and Master Qiao will make another earth-shattering appearance.
After a night, Qiao Daoqing officially entered the role of Chai Jin, while Chai Jin, dressed in a Taoist robe, held a whisk and looked at his yard like a bystander.
"I got a good wine today. I'm going to invite the Cangzhou magistrate, the governor, the governor and other officials to come to the manor for a banquet. No officials, big or small, in Cangzhou can be absent. Anyone who doesn't give me Chai Jin's face is waiting to be impeached! "
Since death occurs in public, the weight of bystanders needs to be increased.
If he fakes his death in front of a gangster, the court will most likely send someone over and even open the coffin for an autopsy to confirm that Chai Jin is dead and did not escape.
With the prefect and others as witnesses, the court would feel more at ease and would at most rebuke the lack of supervision.
After giving the instructions, "Chai Jin" asked the manor's steward to invite all the respectable gentry owners in Cangzhou to come over and make sure they didn't come back until they were drunk at noon.
After arranging these things, he personally supervised the servants of the manor to kill pigs and sheep, and began to prepare lunch.
Not far away, Shi Xiu said with some regret:
"Don't you feel bad that such a huge manor will be abandoned at the drop of a hat?"
Chai Jin waved his whisk:
"What you see is the manor, what I see is the cage. Now I can finally let the birds fly in the sky, and the sea is wide and the fish can jump. I finally get rid of this cage."
He observes his estate like an outsider.
It was found that many people's hands and feet were unclean. For example, the servants who slaughtered sheep killed five sheep in total, but they hid six hind legs.
There is more pork, and half of the meat will be hidden, either sold or secretly taken home.
As for wine vessels and the like, many people put them in their arms. Chai Jin almost couldn't hold back several times when he saw this:
"I'm good enough to my servants, but they are greedy. No wonder I always hear that some slaves will be beaten to death. It's really greedy that makes the snake swallow the elephant."
"It's normal. The cook doesn't steal and the grain doesn't get harvested. This world is full of fish and dragons, mud and sand. Just be more open-minded."
Shi Xiu gave a few words of comfort and asked people to prepare six fast horses, feed them with good quality food, and tie them at the door of the backyard for easy escape.
If they weren't afraid of being too conspicuous and had to cross several rivers to get to Zhending Mansion, Shi Xiu and Qiao Daoqing would have driven Liu Bei's Wrangler to pick up the firewood.
However, with the blessing of fast horses, leaving Cangzhou for a short period of time is not a big problem.
As long as they leave Cangzhou, the three of them don't have to rush.
Soon, noon came, and celebrities from Cangzhou Prefecture arrived one after another. "Chai Jin" stood at the door to greet them, greeting everyone warmly, and occasionally lowering his voice to say a few intimate words.
"Qiao Daoqing" not far away looked at this scene and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect Master Qiao to be so understanding of people and the world. But now that I have escaped, I realize that my knowledge is shallow and I have no redeeming qualities in terms of interpersonal relationships."
I had always been in that position and couldn't see it, but now as a spectator, I realized that the people in the manor only pretended to be polite and sucked as much blood as possible like flies.
When the prefect came with a group of heavyweight officials, the banquet officially began.
"Chai Jin" welcomed everyone with a bunch of polite words, and toasted everyone.
When the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak, he picked up the wine glass and was about to say some more toasts when he suddenly opened his mouth and vomited a large pool of blood. The officials present were immediately startled.
"Call the doctor!"
"What's wrong with you, Mr. Chai?"
"Why are you vomiting blood when you're so good?"
"..."
"Chai Jin" collapsed on the ground. Just when he was about to say something more, another mouthful of blood came out. Then he pointed tremblingly in the direction of Kaifeng and said with all his strength:
"Gao...Gao Qiu, I...even if I were a ghost...I wouldn't...let you go!"
After saying this, he twitched and died.
Everyone present: "..."
What circumstances do I rely on, are we involved in the imperial court's conspiracy against the previous royal family?
Why is it Captain Gao Qiu? Does he have anything to do with Chai Daguan?
Damn it, why did you get into this kind of thing when you came over for a drink?
The prefect's face was covered with black lines. He wanted to take a sip of wine to calm down his shock, but he was worried that his wine was also poisoned, so he had to put down his glass and stood up to stabilize the situation.
Now that something like this has happened, we can only handle it as properly as possible to avoid getting burned.
Damn it, I know that this kind of wine involving the previous royal family is not so delicious. I hope the court will not hold grudges, otherwise there will be no chance of promotion in the future.
The prefect put away his thoughts and said to the governor:
"Send someone in quickly. Everyone in the Chai Mansion must be interrogated strictly. The real culprit who poisoned the house must be caught... Pass it on and come over to inspect the body of Mr. Chai."
While making arrangements, Shi Xiu in the corner suddenly said:
"How can you kill Mr. Chai and still want to seize his family property?"
Many of the servants who relied on Chai Jin to eat and drink and make money, Bang Xian, became angry when they heard this. They lifted the table and cursed. They suspected that the poison was caused by these officials, and the two sides started to quarrel.
The instigator, Shi Xiu, sneaked to the back door with Chai Jin and ran away on horseback.
Before leaving, Shi Xiu didn't forget to go to the kitchen and pack a lot of food.
"Learned from Shi Dalang, always bring food with you, otherwise you will easily get hungry."
Chai Jin had never been hungry since he was a child and found it very strange:
“Can’t I just bring some silver to buy it?”
"If you don't have access to the store, or if you lose your money, you'll be blind. It's better to bring something with you to be prepared!"
Shortly after the two left, Qiao Daoqing's voice came from the walkie-talkie on Shi Xiu's body:
"Looking at what this means, the coffin will probably not be put into the coffin until dark. You leave Cangzhou and find a place to rest first. I will meet you after I finish my work."
"Okay, Taoist priest, be careful, don't be nailed in the coffin by them."
"I'm sitting on the rafter, and I can't nail it in."
After leaving Cangzhou City, Shi Xiu and Chai Jin walked twenty miles west and rested in a temple on a hillock. This temple was built by Chai Jin with money. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy now.
"When a distinguished guest comes, please enjoy a vegetarian meal!"
Although the abbot in the temple was curious that the Taoist priest had actually entered the Buddhist temple, for some reason, he always felt that the two people were very friendly. He quickly brought tea and water, and asked the young novice to prepare a sumptuous vegetarian meal.
Shi Xiu was naturally not polite and started eating as soon as he sat down.
Chai Jin, on the other hand, felt that it was not very honorable, so he went to the merit box in the front store and stuffed two ingots of silver before he started to eat.
Although it was a vegetarian meal, it tasted pretty good. The young monk in the temple also took their horses to the backyard, fed them with concentrate and water, and took good care of them.
After eating and drinking, the two of them sat at the entrance of the temple and waited for Qiao Daoqing. Then they saw a man wearing a bamboo hat staggering towards the entrance of the temple. When they were about to arrive, his body tilted and fell to the ground.
Chai Jin subconsciously wanted to save people, but was stopped by Shi Xiu:
"Officials, don't worry. I heard from Peng Ju that there is a behavior in the real world called touching porcelain, which is to deliberately lie on the ground to blackmail. I think this man is strong and strong. If you wait a little longer, if it is blackmail, he will definitely lie down for a long time."
Chai Jin opened his mouth:
"What if he is really injured or sick?"
"That has nothing to do with us. I heard that Zhenren Luo from Erxian Mountain has lived for more than five hundred years. Does the official know why he lives so long?"
"Why?"
"Just don't care about so many other things."
Chai Jin: "..."
Shi Xiu, you are so beautiful!
However, seeing a big living person lying on the ground, the two of them had no intention of chatting. Although Shi Xiu said to mind his own business, he still couldn't restrain his curiosity and strode over.
When I got closer, I realized that this person looked familiar:
"Brother Yang?"
Chai Jin asked:
"know?"
"This person is Yang Xiong, who declined the invitation from the emperor's uncle."
After speaking, Shi Xiu dug into his arms and took out two French buns. He helped Yang Xiong up, tore open the package, broke off the buns and fed them to Yang Xiong's mouth.
Shi Xiu also hurriedly went to the temple to bring a bowl of honey water. The two of them were busy feeding it, and then Yang Xiong opened his eyes:
"Dare I ask if this is the underworld?"
"Yes, what crime did you commit?"
Yang Xiong was honest and answered immediately:
"The villain killed his wife and came to Cangzhou to seek refuge with Chai Daguan. He didn't want him to die today. There was a funeral at home, so the villain had to leave. He was hungry on the road. He wanted to seek refuge in the temple, but fell to the ground... Huh? Brother Shi Xiuxian? Are you dead too?”
"You're not dead. You just passed out in front of me and Chai Daguan. Get up quickly and eat something more."
Shi Xiu told Cangzhou and Chai Jin how they had faked their deaths, and Yang Xiong was surprised.
After explaining the ins and outs, Chai went into the backyard and took out a braised chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and some other cooked food from the horse's saddlebags, and delivered them to the temple gate. Yang Xiong sat cross-legged on the ground and ate.
The abbot in the temple wanted to say something, but in the end he just proclaimed Amitabha, turned around and went to the temple, out of sight.
After Yang Xiong had eaten something, he finally regained his composure. He thanked Shi Xiu seriously and saluted Chai Zhang, who was dressed as a Taoist priest. Then he sat down and continued chatting.
"Brother Yang, why did you kill your wife?"
Shi Xiu is more concerned about Yang Xiong's murder. What kind of evil did Pan Qiaoyun do to force this withered man to a dead end?
When mentioning this matter, Yang Xiong sighed:
"I regret not listening to my wise brother. If I had followed Uncle Liu Huang sooner, it would not have caused such a tragedy."
The last time Liu Bei went to Jizhou, Shi Xiu, who sold firewood for a living, happily went with him, but Yang Xiong felt that as a jailer and executioner of the two houses, he had a formal job, a wife, and an old father-in-law who was a butcher, so he could live a smooth life. Happiness, why do you have to wade into muddy waters?
So he declined Liu Bei's invitation and continued to live his happy life.
However, he wanted to live a good life, but he ended up with a wife who liked to pursue excitement. Pan Qiaoyun did things for her ex-husband, and as expected, she hooked up with Pei Ruhai.
This time there was no intervention from Shi Xiu, and Yang Xiong wanted to go further at work and kept working night shifts, which gave the dog men and women more opportunities to make peace.
Tianlao Star Yang Xiong became Tianlu Star Yang Xiong.
In the end, the father-in-law Pan noticed it and saw Pei Ruhai entering and exiting his home. He wanted to persuade his daughter to calm down, but Pan Qiaoyun didn't listen at all, and even got worse. He led Pei Ruhai around the house in broad daylight, and was hit by Yang Xiong who had finished the morning shift. Got it right.
Yang Xiong, who realized that he had been cuckolded, was furious and beat Pei Ruhai severely. Pan Qiaoyun quickly apologized in tears, and the matter came to an end.
Unexpectedly, Pan Qiaoyun held a grudge and kept buying arsenic and putting it in the chicken soup, intending to poison Yang Xiong, but Old Man Pan drank it.
After accidentally killing his own father, Pan Qiaoyun panicked and went to discuss with Pei Ruhai. Yang Xiong, who was on official duty, caught him again and killed the adulterer and adulterer in a rage.
Just when he was about to surrender, he discovered that his father-in-law had been poisoned to death. His life was at stake, and it was difficult to explain clearly.
In desperation, Yang Xiong had to flee for his life. When he arrived in Cangzhou, he was penniless and wanted to go to Chai's manor for a big meal, but he met Chai Jin who was pretending to die.
He had no choice but to continue walking westward, and eventually fainted from hunger at the gate of the temple.
Shi Xiu said:
"We brothers are destined to follow Uncle Liu. If we hadn't come to find Master Chai, you, Brother Yang, would have starved to death here. Uncle Liu indirectly saved your life."
Chai Jin: "..."
This brainwashing skill is really good!
If you two hadn't come to Cangzhou, I should still be eating hot pot, singing, and having a party in the manor.
Let alone one Yang Xiong, even if there were ten thousand Yang Xiongs, they would be well entertained.
Yang Xiong is now a murderer and penniless, but he doesn't have the good mentality of Shi Xiu and Chai Jin. He sighed with melancholy:
"I have nothing, I am not good at literature or martial arts, and I don't know anything except a few words of the Liao bird language. Even if I go to the uncle, what can I do?"
Shi Xiu immediately extracted the key words:
"You can speak Khitan? That's great, the uncle is in need of talents like you!"
