Chapter 1519 The So-Called Corpse Is Your Father

In the Shengsheng Hall in the back hall of the National Elephant Prison, a hurried little Taoist priest came with a message and woke up the white-haired young man who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

The Imperial Master opened his eyes, raised his white eyebrows slightly, and looked at the person outside the door: "Who?"

The little Taoist priest lowered his head and said: "The two officers and generals you sent to the palace are in the front hall. They said they came specially to pay homage to you, Your Excellency."

The Imperial Master pondered for a moment, with countless thoughts passing through his mind. Finally he got up and sat down, put on his Taoist robe and walked out.

A quarter of an hour later, Rong Leng and Liu Wei were taken to the bamboo pavilion to the east of the front hall, where the Imperial Master was already there.

Just as the Taoist said just now, Liu Wei also saw the unwelcome towards her from the eyes of the Imperial Master. She didn't care at all, but smiled.

"It's still early at the moment. Do you want to disturb your master's Qing Dynasty?"

Reaching out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, Liu Wei spoke beautifully, and the Imperial Master was not in trouble, so he only said solemnly: "It doesn't matter."

It still bothered me, but he was magnanimous and didn't care.

Liu Wei said again: "I came here today actually for a private matter, and I ask for your help."

The Imperial Master looked at her suspiciously and asked calmly: "Is it your surrender to the palace?"

Liu Wei shook his head: "It's my business."

The Imperial Master raised his eyebrows and his expression became subtle.

After all, what he is sitting here looking at is the face of Prince Rujiang's Mansion.

Liu Wei knew that the Imperial Preceptor did not like them, and heard that they had nothing to do with Ru Jiang's palace, so they would definitely have to be kicked out, so while the Imperial Preceptor was still considering how to refuse without hurting their friendship, she took a preemptive strike: "Before I went to Beijing, I went to the suburbs of Beijing. When I stayed in Mingyue Town, I heard local people laughing and talking, saying that there were ghosts in the town." The imperial master has devoted his life to gods and worshiped gods. When he heard the talk about ghosts and gods, he was a little curious about what Liu Wei was going to say next. He said briefly He nodded and said casually: "There are many villages and towns in the suburbs of Beijing, and some folk idiosyncrasies have emerged one after another and spread widely. The ghost army in Mingyue Town, Liu Xiniang in Qingfeng Town, this

The official also heard a little bit about it. "

She still has the nerve to mention Liu Xiniang.

Liu Wei sneered, and when the Imperial Master looked over, his smile turned friendly again: "Do you think, sir, that corpses, ghosts, ghost armies, and even Liu Xiniang are all real?" These words But when it comes to the National Preceptor's itch, what the Imperial Preceptor likes is to promote feudal superstitions to others. He nodded and his tone was extremely determined: "Most of the country legends are false and true, and most of them are false, but some are true. It's true. I've also been to Mingyue Town. It was a mass grave.

It's not surprising that ghouls are alive. "

Liu Wei asked again: "What about Liu Xiniang?"

The Imperial Master glanced at her and then said: "He is a poor man who is asking for his life." After saying that, he asked again: "The reason why you asked me for help is because you want to know about Liu Xiniang?"

Liu Wei shook his head: "What I want to ask about is the Ghost Army."

The Imperial Master frowned: "What do you ask?"

"It is said from word of mouth in Mingyue Town that the front of the town is a place where corpses gather. It is eerie and terrifying, and the corpses and ghosts grow. The ghost army was suppressed by the emperor's order. In the end, they were harmed by the corpses and turned into Yin soldiers to guard one side. I would like to know , these are all true."

The Imperial Master was not sure of her intention, so before answering, he asked: "So what if it's true, so what if it's false. Your Excellency went through all the trouble to ask me, just to confirm the authenticity of a rural anecdote." ?”

Liu Wei shook his head, still smiling: "Please tell me the truth first."

The Imperial Master frowned, thought for a long time, and then said: "Half truth and half lie, some true and some false."

"The imperial army is real, the ghost army is fake, the bride is real, and the corpse ghost is fake, but?"

The Imperial Master stared at her, with a vague feeling that he was being lied to, but these country gossips were always passed down by rumors, and he did not feel that he had said any secrets that could not be said.

After thinking about it, he simply said something harsh: "Sir, if you just want to find someone to chat with, I'm sorry that I don't have time to accompany you."

After the imperial master finished speaking, he really wanted to get up and leave.

Liu Wei added at this time: "Your Excellency is from Mingyue Town, right."

The Imperial Master paused suddenly as he left, and narrowed his eyes with a dangerous expression: "What?" "You are from Mingyue Town. You were born in Mingyue Town before being adopted by the Imperial Master. There are two stories in Mingyue Town. The first one is about an embroiderer who was married to a butcher by her gambling father. On the wedding day, the embroiderer ran away from the marriage and ended up in a mass grave. Finally, she was killed by a ghoul, who chased her one after another.

The butcher family who left also fell into the mouths of the zombies. "

After a pause, he said again.

"The second article talks about the rampant corpse ghosts, which forced the imperial court to send troops to quell the chaos. Therefore, there is a theory that the imperial army suppressed the corpse ghosts."

The Imperial Master's expression was very unkind: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"What happened a few days ago should still be fresh in my mind. I told a lie that day. The boy I called an assassin was actually my son. And Quanzi met you that morning. Yes, on the way out of the palace." The Imperial Master sat down again and stared into Liu Wei's eyes: "The boy was led by Taifu Ji before, and he seems to be a child of the Ji family, and the two of them claim to belong to King Ru Jiang. Under his command, the Japanese officials knew on that day that the baby accidentally broke into the back hall and was trapped by the guards. The Taifu asked his former student Ru Jiangwang for help.

After the chaos that followed, I didn’t expect that you and that child would still have such a connection. So you have taken him away, what are you going to say now? "

"Tell me, sir." Liu Wei said bluntly: "Since I have confessed my relationship with the little boy, it should not be difficult for you to think of my relationship with Taifu Ji. I believe you know better that Taifu Ji What does it have to do with Master Ji?" That day, the National Elephant Supervisor's carriage passed by the palace road, and he heard someone in the palace asking for directions, saying that Taifu Ji was returning to Beijing, but the carriage broke down on the way. I asked him if his carriage could take Ji with him. As soon as the tutor came, the imperial master readily agreed. In fact, he was not familiar with this old tutor who had been serving as an official for many years, but he had heard the mentor who raised him mention it many times.

Since then, the old monk who died young and Taifu Ji were once close friends.

In this way, it is not surprising that his life experience will be known to the people in front of him.

It must have been said by Taifu Ji.

But so what, heroes don't care about their origins. He left Buddhism and became a disciple of Taoism. Then he was invited by the emperor to establish the National Xiangjian and became a highly respected minister. He did all these by relying on his own ability. Who can do this? Say more about him?

The Imperial Master said proudly: "What then?"

Knowing that he is from Mingyue Town, what can we do?

"The bride..." Liu Wei's voice was very firm: "She is your biological mother."

The Imperial Master's eyes grew colder and colder: "Continue."

"The so-called corpse is your father."

This time the Imperial Master was finally angry. He slapped the stone table and stood up suddenly.

Realizing that he was going to be violent, Rong Ling stood up beside Liu Wei, with the sword at his waist already unsheathed. Liu Wei took Rong Leng's hand and asked him to calm down. He looked up at the angry face of the Imperial Master and sighed: "I don't want to expose your wounds when I come here today. The past is over. What happened to the predecessors, let alone the descendants." Accept it, I said I have something to ask for your help, and it’s true. Please sit down and let’s talk slowly.”
