Chapter 76 Xu Laosan: I am a noble person!
"Captain Xu, your family is a blessing to me!"
Shen Wansheng held Xu Laosan's hand with a very sincere feeling.
After all, it was Old Man Xu who discovered the looted tribute from twenty years ago last year. Although the Anshun County Court was primarily responsible for overseeing this matter, Xiangyi Prefecture also dispatched personnel later on, so naturally, Xiangyi Prefecture deserves some credit.
Now, the altar of the Jieyun Dao has been discovered here.
The most important thing is that the thief from Jieyundao was struck to death by lightning.
What does this mean?
This shows that Xu Yuanheng, the top candidate in the case, is a man of great luck.
Although the imperial court has been hunting down the thieves of Jieyundao, in fact, many people worship Jieyundao. This Jieyundao is really powerful and can steal people's luck and change their fate.
But perhaps it is because he has done too many things that go against the will of heaven, and now Jieyundao is being punished by heaven.
When the new dynasty was established, the Jieyun Dao's mountain gate was razed to the ground, and its disciples were almost completely slaughtered. Only a few young people who roamed the world were spared. From then on, the Jieyun Dao became a rat in the gutter, hidden from the light.
However, the Xin Dynasty has always had an iron rule: anyone who colludes with the Taoist priests of the Jieyun Dao will be regarded as treason.
Therefore, except for the remnants of the previous dynasty, ordinary people, unless they really want to rebel, dare not provoke the Taoist priests of the Jieyun Dao.
And in this Mo Mansion, a Taoist of Jieyun Dao actually appeared. What does this mean? It means that the remnants of the previous dynasty have infiltrated the court and hold high positions.
Shen Wansheng immediately blocked the four gates of Linyao City and sent out scouts at an urgent speed of 800 miles to deliver the news to the capital.
The son of the Minister of Rites colluded with a Taoist priest of Jieyun Dao, intending to murder the first person in the case of Yongping 13th year in Xiangyi Prefecture and steal his luck.
Shen Wansheng did not say a word in the memorial, but just submitted it verbatim.
But he understood that as long as this memorial reached the emperor, his great contribution would be inevitable.
…
Xu Laosan was confused from beginning to end, but after listening to the words of the people around him, he finally figured out the truth of the matter.
He was invited by the son of the Minister of Rites to meet friends through literature. The other party's real purpose was to steal his literary fortune. However, the minister's son's plan failed, and the Taoist who performed the ritual of disaster was struck to death by thunder.
"Could it be that I am really the incarnation of Wenquxing?"
Xu Laosan couldn't help but think of what he had heard from the villagers before, that green smoke was coming out of his ancestral grave, and that their Xu family was about to produce a noble person.
My eldest brother and second brother are both farmers at home, so they definitely cannot be noble people.
In other words, he is the noble person that the Xu family wants to send out.
"I am a noble man!"
Xu Laosan shuddered inwardly, thinking about the fact that he had not passed the imperial examination for the past three years, and he finally had the answer.
“When Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon a man, it will first test his mind and spirit, exhaust his muscles and bones, and starve his body…”
Xu Laosan felt more and more happy.
However, he did not get carried away all of a sudden.
After all, he still has self-awareness.
A noble person is only a noble person if he grows up. If he cannot grow up, he is a dead person.
After Xu Laosan's body almost recovered, he immediately said goodbye to Shen Wansheng, saying that he had been away from home for several months and missed his family.
After hearing what Xu Lao San said, Shen Wansheng naturally had no reason to keep him any longer. He asked someone to prepare a set of ceremonial gifts and sent two guards to accompany him. Only then did he reluctantly see Xu Lao San off.
I'm going to sell apples later, and conservatively I estimate it will take half a day. Woohoo, I hope I won't waste more time. My flight will return to Chongqing tomorrow, and I will update four times a day at a time. Roar, please collect, recommend, reward, and give a five-star rating!
