After being passed on by word of mouth by several evaluators, it was revealed that what Li Lezhi had predicted had turned out to be what Li Lezhi wanted, and the story spread among the officials.
After hearing this, Censor Qiu was depressed. When he was arguing with others, they asked him, "Censor Qiu, you usually hate Taoist priests, so why do you now praise the Taoist priest surnamed Li? Did you receive any benefits from that Taoist priest?"
Censor Qiu said angrily: "What nonsense! You don't know the ability of Taoist Li. That's because you have no vision. Humph, you will regret it in the future."
Censor Qiu turned around and left. Although he was dissatisfied with their suspicion of Li Lezhi, he was also annoyed and regretful in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder if someone didn't like him and didn't believe what he said, so they went around saying that Taoist Li's predictions were inaccurate.
After going to Feng'an Tower, Censor Qiu heard those people talking in low voices. Unlike the exclamation they used to express when talking about Taoist Li, they were now full of sarcasm. Censor Qiu was furious. He glanced at Censor Zhang and immediately walked over to ask, "Censor Zhang, do you know where the rumors about Taoist Li's inaccurate predictions came from?"
Censor Zhang was sipping some wine when he heard someone asking me about this. He opened his eyes a little and looked over. Seeing that it was Qiu Changchun, he shook his head and said, "How would I know about this?"
Censor Qiu was very depressed. When he was about to turn around and leave, Censor Zhang, considering that they were colleagues, said to him from behind: "I heard that it was spread by the judges of the Dali Temple. I don't know whether it is true or not." www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
When Censor Qiu heard that the person was a judge from the Dali Temple, he thought of Judge Shi. At this time, he remembered that on the ship back to Beijing, not only did he not trust Taoist Li, he also did not trust Judge Shi. However, Censor Qiu did not know how to comment on Judge Shi. He just thought that the other party had no vision and had not discovered the ability of Taoist Li until now.
Censor Qiu had no choice but felt sorry for what happened to Taoist Li, so he brought a small gift to the door.
When he saw Li Lezhi, he also spoke directly about the matter, and finally said with great emotion and apology: "Master Li, it is all my fault that you are in trouble. I am afraid that someone is targeting me, which is why Master Li is in trouble."
Li Le only heard that the news that he had predicted inaccurately had spread among the officials, and smiled slightly in his heart. He didn't expect Shi Pingshi to be so powerful. In just a few days, officials of all ranks knew about his inaccurate predictions. No wonder the doctor of the Ministry of Justice had a worried look in his eyes when he saw him recently, and even told him not to worry, because everyone in the Ministry of Justice believed in him. It turned out that everyone in the Ministry of Justice knew about this matter.
Li Le just smiled and said, "It's none of your business."
He had arranged all of this on purpose. It was hard for Censor Qiu, who had thought he was a nobody before and now thought he was the one who got himself into trouble.
Li Lezhi said again: "You don't have to take it to heart."
Censor Qiu frowned. How could this matter have nothing to do with him? He had already decided in his heart that he would go and clarify things for Taoist Li.
As for his visit this time, in addition to giving gifts and apologizing, he also wanted to know whether Taoist Li was disturbed by the disturbance outside. However, seeing that Taoist Li did not take this matter to heart, Censor Qiu was relieved.
Li Le just nodded, said a few more words, then turned and left.
Li Le didn't know that Censor Qiu had already thought of clarifying things for him. He was still thinking about the rumors outside that his predictions were inaccurate. No one would deify him, nor would anyone compare him with the Taoists in Xuanyang Palace. Li Le just felt relieved. At least he had passed this hurdle, and he could live in peace in the future.
The fact that Li Le was not accurate in his calculations also reached the ears of Prince Duan and Prince An.
After Prince Duan learned about it, he knew that it was spread by several judges. He also knew that Taoist Li had predicted that something bad would happen to the judge Shi. In order to break Li Lezhi's words, the people in the Dali Temple forcibly worked for the judge and promoted him to the chief clerk. He also knew that the judge had a conflict with Li Lezhi.
Prince Duan was thinking about whether to punish one or two of them on behalf of Taoist Li, so that Li Le would only remember his kindness, but the people in the Dali Temple were still Wang Ren's subordinates after all, and Wang Ren had been competing with Li Le recently. In the end, Prince Duan still did not take action, but only made a note of the official who accepted the money from the Dali Temple appraisers], domain name [(.)]+?+??
After Prince An learned about this, he reduced Li Lezhi's importance. He originally wanted to get rid of this Taoist priest, but he didn't expect that he was just a name. The three officials were really good at tricks. ?
After Gongsun Miaoran learned about this, he immediately went to find Li Lezhi, and Tao Ran also came with him. ?
Tao Ran had long heard from Gongsun Miaoran that there was a powerful Taoist priest named Li, but he had never found an opportunity to ask Gongsun Miaoran to bring him to visit him. This time, when he happened to come to see Gongsun Miaoran, he learned that the other party was going to see Taoist priest Li, so he suggested going with him.
When the two men arrived at Xuanping Lane, Gongsun Miaoran knocked on the door. After a while, Gao Mingli opened the door, and when he saw that it was Gongsun Miaoran at the door, he let the two men in.
After seeing Li Lezhi, Gongsun Miaoran was about to say that no matter what the rumors outside were, he would believe the Taoist priest. However, when he saw that Li Lezhi had a calm expression and did not seem to be bothered by the rumors outside, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. What if Taoist priest Li did not know about this matter yet? It would not be a good idea for him to bring it up rashly.
Fortunately, his good friend Tao Ran was accompanying him this time. Gongsun Miaoran immediately introduced him to Li Lezhi: "Master Li, this is my good friend Tao Ran. He has encountered a difficult matter recently, so he asked me to introduce him to him. I hope Master Li can help him calculate the fortune."
Tao Ran had a bewildered look on his face, and almost pointed at himself as he looked at Gongsun Miaoran in confusion. He came here to meet a master like Taoist Li, not to seek revenge from Taoist Li.
But after hearing what Miao Ran said, he could only nod his head, thinking about what he could do. Finally, when he sat opposite Li Lezhi, after filtering all the things, he really found one thing, but this thing...
Tao Ran glanced at the people around him. Apart from Taoist Priest Li and Miao Ran, there were only Taoist Priest Li's two disciples in the courtyard. They were not close to them, so the other party might not be able to hear what he said.
Tao Ran was relieved and said, "I have been worried about something recently. It is about my sister. In a few months, my sister will get married. The man has a good family background and is a good person. He has no wives or concubines and is very clean." Tao Ran thought for a while and said, "The man is also very attentive to us brothers and doesn't look like someone who would bully my sister. But I still want to know whether my sister will be happy in the future. I would like to trouble you to calculate for me."
After hearing this, Li Le understood what was going on, so he picked up the tortoise shell and started to calculate for the other party. In fact, he still used the fingers to calculate. After calculating, he looked at Tao Ran and said, "Your sister's marriage will have twists and turns. If she gets married, she will definitely be happy in the future. She is a blessed person."
He had calculated how Tao Ran's sister would live, and he also knew that she only had one sister. But to make sure he was not wrong, Li Le only asked one more question: "You only have one sister?"
Tao Ran looked over in surprise, and then he remembered that he only had one sister. Could this Taoist Master Li even figure out that he only had one sister?
Or,
The other party knew who he was, so he knew how many people were in his family, but if he knew, why would the Taoist priest ask this unnecessary question?
Regardless of whether the Taoist priest could predict accurately or not, Tao Ran was overjoyed when he said that the other party would be happy and contented. He put aside his doubts and said with a smile: "Thank you for your auspicious words, Taoist priest. When my sister's wedding day comes, Taoist priest, please come to my house for a feast."
"..." Li Lezhi was invited to a banquet again. Although he didn't want to go to a crowded place, it was a happy event in the other party's family, so he said, "Yes, of course."
?Feng Chui Lin An reminds you that "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as the National Master" is being updated as soon as possible, remember [(.)]%?%??
After the divination, Gongsun Miaoran saw that Taoist Li was in a good mood, so he felt relieved and said a few words before leaving with Tao Ran. ?
Gongsun Miaoran had just left when Minister Zhou came over soon after. Minister Zhou had gone to handle a case not long ago and only had time to come now.
When Minister Zhou heard that some people doubted that Taoist Priest Li's predictions were inaccurate and that this rumor was getting more and more intense, his eyes turned cold. He realized that there were many people behind the scenes, but now it was more important to come and see Taoist Priest Li than to settle accounts with those people.
Therefore, Minister Zhou paid a visit to Li Lezhi and told him about the matter, and assured Li Lezhi that he would definitely find out the person behind the scenes.
As soon as Li Le heard this, he hurriedly tried to stop him. He thought that Shi Pingshi had done this on purpose. If Minister Zhou investigated, Shi Pingshi would be thrown into jail. Then he would be sorry to Shi Pingshi.
Li Le just said: "Master Zhou, I don't care about this matter. Believe it or not, it's not a big deal to me."
Minister Zhou was filled with emotion. Only a master like Taoist Li would not take the false reputation outside to heart. However, Taoist Li did not care about this kind of thing, but they could not pretend not to know. He just nodded to Li Le and said, "Don't worry, Taoist Li."
He will definitely get to the bottom of it and give an explanation to Taoist Li.
Li Le was relieved when he saw Minister Zhou heard what he said, so he said a few words to him and sent him away.
Dealing with several people in a row, all about the same thing, Li Le was just afraid that there would be others who would come to comfort him and want to find out the truth for him. How could he be worthy of these big guys to help him?
Li Le had no choice but to lock the door and refuse to see anyone. He said to his two disciples, "If anyone else wants to see me, I will refuse them all."
Gao Mingli and Qian Xi nodded.
Li Le returned to his room with peace of mind and continued to practice tortoise shell fortune-telling. Not long after he returned to the room, there was a knock on the door.
Gao Mingli heard it, so he stood up and went to open the door. When the door opened a crack, he saw Shi Pingshi standing outside through the crack and asked in confusion, "Shi Pingshi, why are you here?"
"I want to meet Taoist Master Li," Shi Pingshi looked worried and raised his head to look at Gao Mingli nervously.
Taoist Priest Li had previously read his fortune and said that something bad was going to happen. In order to break this situation and also not wanting the Ministry of Justice to put pressure on their Dali Temple, they went outside and said that Taoist Priest Li's predictions were inaccurate.
But it was not until he was promoted that they knew that the others contributed money and effort and bribed the officials in the Ministry of Personnel to make his promotion a reality. Otherwise, the position of chief clerk was not something he could get just by wanting it. Not only did the reviewers want to get it, but there were other people who also wanted to get it.
The more Shi Pingshi thought about this, the more restless he became. Every night after falling asleep, he would dream that his promotion was exposed, and he was caught by people from the Ministry of Justice and imprisoned, and finally lost his head.
During this period, he couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and was more anxious than when he was a judge.
It takes a lot more effort and I look a few years older than usual.
Shi Pingshi did not dare to delay any longer, nor did he want to continue living in fear every day, so he immediately rushed to Taoist Li to apologize and ask for forgiveness.
But he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, he heard Li Daozhang's disciple say: "My master doesn't want to see anyone, please go back."
Seeing that the door in front of him was about to close, Shi Pingshi rushed forward without hesitation and said to Gao Mingli at the door: "Please be flexible. I came to see Taoist Li this time to apologize."
Gao Mingli looked him up and down for a while and said, "Why are you offering compensation or apologizing? Are you the one who said bad things about my master behind his back?"
Gao Mingli had not forgotten that Minister Zhou had once said that Shi Pingshi in front of him was a chatterbox. Gao Mingli saw that the other party was ashamed and lowered his head, as if he was right. He said with a bad face: "You?%?%???"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut, not giving the other party any chance to quibble. Since he had the ability to do it, he must have the courage to bear the wrath of his master!
Gao Mingli guessed that the master must have known that Shi Pingshi was coming, and also knew that Shi Pingshi was the one who said bad things about him behind his back. Otherwise, how could the master suddenly disappear after meeting so many people? The master must have known that Shi Pingshi was coming, so he didn't want to see him.
Not only Gao Mingli thought so, but Shi Pingshi also thought so. After knowing that Taoist Li did not want to see him, he turned pale and looked at the closed door, which did not open as he wished, and he did not see Taoist Li.
A door cut off his chance of saving the situation. Shi Pingshi was hunched over with his straight back bent, as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on him. With heavy steps, he slowly walked down the stairs and looked back at the closed door.
A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and the regret in his heart overwhelmed him. If he had not done this, if he had not offended Taoist Li, would everything be different?
Shi Pingshi didn’t know and didn’t dare to think further.
As for Minister Zhou, although he found out that it was Shi Pingshi who spread the rumor that something bad would happen, Shi Pingshi was sent to the position of chief clerk because the Dali Temple Pingshi bribed the Ministry of Personnel Langzhong.
Minister Zhou said, "You made the mistakes you made in the past, and you have borne the consequences you have today. Taoist Li was right in his calculations."
Shi Pingshi's eyes were bloodshot, and he did not refute after hearing this. Ever since he became the chief clerk, he has been thinking about the divinations of Taoist Li. Although the voice in his heart told him that what Taoist Li said was all false and his divinations were not accurate, he knew that after he easily became the chief clerk, Taoist Li's divinations came true. As expected, bad things would happen to him.
But at that time, he was blinded by everything in front of him, and he really wanted to become the chief clerk. He never thought that Taoist Li had already seen his end. He and Taoist Li had different perspectives, and saw different things.
While he was still looking straight ahead, Taoist Li was looking down at him.
Shi Pingshi looked at the azure sky and thought that he was just a bird in a cage, and Taoist Li was the person outside the cage. If he jumped out of the cage, he would be able to see everything.
Minister Zhou said before leaving: "If you don't use tricks, the position of chief clerk will also be yours."
Shi Pingshi looked over in surprise.
Minister Zhou ignored him. As he said, the appointment of officials in the Dali Temple had to go through the Ministry of Personnel, but the Dali Temple was
The Dali Temple Minister is a young marquis◢_[(.)]◢?◢♂?♂?◢?,
The young marquis can appoint officials?
Designate who will be in charge.
Does the young marquis agree?
The Ministry of Personnel will naturally not be blocked, but?
And the young marquis also likes Shi Pingshi.
In the past, Shi Pingshi would have naturally risen to a higher position, but now, just because he said a few words behind Taoist Li's back, he would probably have to stay in the position of chief clerk for the rest of his life.
After Minister Zhou handed the collected evidence to Yang Wenjing, Yang Wenjing reported it to Emperor Zhao. Emperor Zhao knew about this matter and knew that it was related to Li Lezhi, so he ordered the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation. He also summoned Wang Ren into the palace and scolded him for failing to discipline his subordinates.
After Wang Ren was scolded, he also learned that the case of the Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel was handed over to the Ministry of Justice. He was furious and returned to the Dali Temple. He called Shi Pingshi over and scolded him. He also learned that there were other people who gave money to the Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel behind his back, so Wang Ren called all the people over and scolded them.
While he was cursing, the people from the Ministry of Justice came and arrested the mastermind of sending the silver. When the man was arrested, he shouted loudly: "Sir, I did all this for the Dali Temple, sir, save me."
This made Wang Ren even more angry. He dared to spread rumors about Taoist Li for the sake of Dali Temple. Was it really good for Dali Temple to offend a Taoist priest who was good at fortune-telling?
Wang Ren now suspects that the other party is an undercover agent planted by the Ministry of Justice, with the intention of stabbing him in the back and pushing Taoist Li to the Ministry of Justice to have a closer relationship with the Ministry.
If he had not been secretly planning to kill the assassin before, he would never have let such a thing happen.
Thinking of this, Wang Ren immediately took the apology and went to where Taoist Li lived. When he went there, he happened to meet Li Lezhi who was about to go out for duty.
Li Le saw Wang Ren carrying something and walking towards him. He asked curiously, "Are you here to apologize as well?"
This period of time is not the time to give gifts, and it’s too late now since someone has said this from time to time in the past two days.
Wang Ren smiled awkwardly and nodded, "It was my fault for not disciplining him properly this time, so I came to apologize to the Taoist priest as soon as I found out."
"It's none of your business," Li Le was helpless. After all, he was the one who spread the news through Shi Pingshi, and he was quite surprised that it had the current effect.
Li Le was very satisfied. The last time he knew that Shi Pingshi was coming to see him, he missed it. Li Le just thought that he had not yet repaid Shi Pingshi and had not given him a gift to thank him, so he said, "I have a gift. Please give it to Shi Pingshi on my behalf when you return to the Dali Temple."
"Okay," Wang Ren immediately agreed to such a small matter.
Li Lezhi originally wanted to give money, but he had heard about accepting money recently, and he might be suspected of bribing others, but he didn't have anything good to give. The things in the house were all given to him by others, and they were not easy to give away.
Li Le only thought of the peace wooden plaque he made. Although it was simple, the wood used was of good quality. He also offered it in front of the Three Pure Ones for a few days. This kind of thing was for peace of mind. Although the gift was small, it was also his thoughtful gift.
Li Le simply put the things in a wooden box, handed it to Wang Ren, and said, "Thank you for your help."
Wang Ren smiled and said, "It is my honor to work for the Taoist priest. It won't be a problem at all."
Li Le only said: "This is a wooden talisman I made myself. It is not a very valuable item, but I hope it can keep Shi Ping safe.
. "
Wang Ren took the wooden box?
After hearing this?2?.の.の??,
Raised an eyebrow in surprise?
Looking at the calm face of Taoist Li?
There was no emotional fluctuation at all, as if he was really just sending out a "peace amulet".
But if he wanted to send the amulet, why would he send it during this time period? It happened to be the time when the officials in the Ministry of Personnel were accepting bribes and engaging in corruption. Did Taoist Li want to use this opportunity to protect Shi Pingshi?
Could it be that Taoist Priest Li does not hold a grudge against Shi Pingshi for spreading rumors outside?
Wang Ren couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to misunderstand, so he asked, "Master Li, don't you care about what people say?"
Li Lezhi certainly didn't care. What was spread outside was still the result he wanted, so he said lightly: "I don't care."
The wider it spreads, the better.
Wang Ren understood, he nodded and said, "I understand."
After Wang Ren brought the item back, he handed it to Shi Pingshi and said, "I don't know what Taoist Priest Li likes about you, but this is a lucky charm drawn by Taoist Priest Li himself."
Shi Pingshi was in a state of panic because of the arrest of people by the Ministry of Justice. He felt hopeless and that he had no chance of survival.
As an official of the Dali Temple, he knew the hardships of prison and did not want to suffer that kind of pain. When he was hesitating whether to commit suicide in Bai Chou, he heard Lord Wang's words. A little light appeared in his lifeless eyes. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at the hand stretched out in front of him. Looking at the box in his hand, he held it in both hands as if he had found a treasure.
Still couldn't believe that the box was given to him by Taoist Li, and asked in surprise: "Sir, is this true?"
Wang Ren rolled his eyes and said, "Of course it's true, open it and take a look."
Shi Pingshi then opened the box swiftly and carefully held up the amulet in the box with both hands. The amulet still smelled of a faint sandalwood scent. Shi Pingshi looked at the simple word "peace" on the wooden amulet and tears filled his eyes.
I reached out my trembling hand and touched these two words. It was great. He was safe and he didn't have to die.
Has Taoist Priest Li forgiven him?
Shi Pingshi came to his senses and stood up immediately. After bowing to Wang Ren, he faced the door and bowed respectfully again and again in the direction of Li Lezhi's residence. He was foolish in the past and did not know Taoist Li's ability. He made one mistake after another and even spread bad things about Taoist Li outside. He was sorry for Taoist Li.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Priest Li not only forgave him, but also was generous enough to send him a talisman to save his life.
How could Shi Pingshi not be grateful and feel guilty? He wiped away the tears that he could not hold back, and secretly decided in his heart that he must clear the name of Taoist Li and let everyone in the world know that Taoist Li was an extraordinary person.
Li Lezhi didn't know yet that he gave the amulet out of gratitude to Shi Pingshi, but this made Shi Pingshi think so much and even want to clear his name. If he knew, he would definitely regret giving it away.
And now, he is on duty at the Ministry of Justice, talking with the doctor of the Ministry of Justice.
