Chapter 155 Continuation of Sorghum
After being a high school scholar in Fujian, he went to the suburbs with two or three friends on the same list. I heard that there was a Pilu Zen Temple nearby, and there was a fortune teller, so I rode to ask divination.
When he entered the temple and sat down, the fortune teller saw Zeng's spirit and flattered him. Zeng shook his fan and smiled and asked, "Is there any blessing in wearing a python robe and a jade belt?" The fortune teller said righteously, "The prince will be the prime minister of peace for 20 years in the future." Zeng was so happy that he became more and more arrogant, and it would be worth the light rain. Zeng and his companions sheltered from the rain. An old monk in the room, with deep eyes and high nose, sat in the futon, met each other, indifferent and did not salute.
Everyone raised their hands to inquire and went to bed to gossip. All their friends called Zeng as prime minister. They congratulated in advance. Zeng was high-hearted and pointed to a companion and said, "Brother Zhang, when I am the prime minister, I will definitely recommend you as a governor, and my relatives in the family will be promoted to general and guerrillas. As for my old servant, it is enough to give him a thousand general position. " I sat up and laughed when I heard the words.
It rained heavily outside the window. Zeng came tiredly and fell asleep on the couch. Suddenly, two internal messengers held the imperial edict of the emperor and called Zeng Taishi to discuss state affairs. Zeng was proud and rushed to the court. The emperor expressed his condolences, ordered officials below the third grade to listen to their rise and fall, and rewarded him with a python robe and a famous horse. Zeng put on his robe, knelt down to thank him, and went home. When he went to the house, the house was carved with beams and paintings. It was magnificent and not the old house. Zeng is full of doubts: Why is it so developed? However, the twist must be shouted, and the servant responded to the promise and let him be dispatched.
Then the ministers visited, flattered with gifts, and there was an endless stream of flattery. Six books came, and Zeng greeted him upside down. The waiter came to bow and salute. Below the waiter, he just nodded slightly. The ten women who were the governor of Shanxi were all young and beautiful. The two daughters of immortals are particularly outstanding in appearance and are quite favored. In his spare time, Zeng drank and had fun and was free.
One day, I remembered that when the squire prince was not prominent in the past, he often helped me. Now he is on top of the blue clouds. Brother Wang is still wasting his career and depressed. Why don't he help him? Thinking of this, I immediately wrote a letter and recommended Wang Ziliang as a doctor. The imperial edict was approved, and he was immediately hired. I also remembered that Guo Taifu had a feud with him, so it meant that his subordinates Lv gave a shou, Chen Chang and others. The next day, in the court, there was a continuous stream of impeaching Guo Taifu, and the emperor ordered him to be dismissed from office and demoted to a civilian.
The enmity and hatred came to an end, and Zeng was very happy. On this day, he went out on a parade. The guard of honor was hit by a drunken man. Zeng was furious and was about to be escorted to the Kyoto government office and beaten to death. The rich landlords in the capital, who had thousands of hectares of good land, were afraid of Zeng's power, and offered their fields one after another and were bullied.
Zeng took a fortune. Since then, he has been extremely rich. Soon, the immortals and immortals died one after another. Zeng couldn't help but be sad and missed him day and night. It suddenly occurred to me that the girl in the host was beautiful. She used to want to marry her as a concubine, but because her family was poor and had no money, her ambition was forced to be stranded. Now she can get what she wants. So he sent a number of servants, gave money and gifts, and forced a young girl to marry through the door. Suddenly, the sedan chair came, and the bride was more beautiful than before. Looking back on my life, my wishes are satisfied, and there are no regrets. Another year later, the minister of the court whispered, as if he had a lot of complaints about himself. Zeng was so powerful that he didn't pay attention to it.
Soon after, Bao Gong, a scholar of Longtuge University, impeached the prime minister's crime. The content was slightly said: "Master Zeng, originally a scoundrel in the market. In a word, he fell in line with the king's heart, that is, he was favored by his father and son, and his son were extremely favored. Instead of sacrificing his life to serve the country, he is dominious. His sins are so great that it is difficult to count them. Sell. The official title is full of personal pockets. The generals and soldiers all turned to the door and drilled, just like a hawker in the market. Those who rely on Zeng's nose and look down to worship are countless. If there is a sage and a good minister who refuses to cling to it, he will live in an idle position, and if he is serious, he will be dismissed from office and return to the field. What's more, Zeng pointed to the deer as a horse and monopolized the imperial platform. Who dares to rebel, immediately retaliated, and distributed to the frontier, which is not a problem. The courtiers were so chilled that the court was isolated. The people's fat and people's ointment have been eroded, and the good women are forcibly taken. The people's grievances are boiling and dark. As soon as the servant arrived, the eunuch changed his color, and the county magistrate was tucked. When the letter passed, according to the situation of the inspector, the imperial court delinated the law. Even the adopted son and son, the relatives of the family, go out to take a bus, the wind is thunderous. The local supply was a little slow, and it was immediately whipped off. Poisoning the people, slave government, from where they go, there is no grass in the wild. At present, Zeng has a prominent status, does not know how to repent, and slanders, and makes a lewd dog and horse. Day and night **, regardless of the national economy and people's livelihood, how can there be such a prime minister in the world? As the saying goes, public anger is difficult to commit. If you don't kill the traitor, it will inevitably lead to the disaster of recklessness. Weichen risked his life to meet him. He only asked to cut off the head of the treacherous minister, confiscated the property of the treacherous minister, and was angry with the people. Weichen's words are from the bottom of his heart. If there is half a false sentence, he is willing to add a knife and saw to his body, and he will die.
When someone heard it, his soul flew away, like drinking ice water. Fortunately, thanks to the emperor's tolerance, he withheld the memorial. Then all subjects, officials, and nine ministers wrote letters one after another. Even the children of the children, they also fell into the well. The imperial edict ordered to raid the house, and Zeng sent Yunnan to join the army. His son served as the governor of Pingyang and was also arrested and returned to Kyoto for arraignment.
Zeng was frightened when he heard that dozens of warriors held knives and swords, went straight to the bedroom, stripped off his clothes and tied up with his wife. Orr saw the man shuttled through the courtyard, carrying gold, silver and money, millions, pearls and emeralds, agate jade, no less than a hundred. Curtain beds, tables, chairs and porcelain, thousands. Even the children's swaying and women's embroidered shoes fell all over the ground. Once I witnessed that a sas and harsh heart, a warrior in Orr dragged the girl out, and the beauty wore delicate hair. Sing, the jade face is bleak. Seeing this, Zeng was furious, but he dared not say anything.
The Orr attic warehouse was sealed up one by one. The warriors scolded loudly and ordered Zeng to leave. The supervisor took the rope around his neck, and walked the dog and pulled Zeng out of the house. The husband and wife swallowed their anger and begged for the inferior car to walk, which was not allowed. Ten miles away, his wife's feet were weak and fell to the ground. Zeng helped him with his hand. After walking for more than ten miles, he was also exhausted.
A high mountain in front of him went straight into the sky. Zeng was worried that he could not climb over and sobbed with his wife. The poor supervision is ferocious and cannot be stopped. The sun was setting in the sky, and there was nowhere to invest in the store. Zeng had no choice but to stagger up the hill. Halfway up the mountain, his wife was exhausted and sat on the ground crying. Zeng stopped gasping, and the servant scolded and urged him to go.
Suddenly, hundreds of robbers rushed up with their own sharp blades. The servant's face changed dramatically and he fled in terrration. Zeng knelt on the ground and said, "You are kind and compassionate. I have been demoted to the army and have nothing to do. Please let me go." The group of thieves grinned and scolded, "Old man, we are all wronged by you. As long as the head of the traitor, there is nothing else to ask for." Zeng scolded angrily, "Although I am guilty, at least he is also a court official. How dare you kill me? Don't you want to die?"
The thief was also annoyed. He waved the huge axe. Just once, someone's head fell to the ground and was in shock. Two little ghosts came forward, cut their hands and escorted to the Yin Division. A few minutes later, when he arrived at the capital city, Zeng raised his eyes and stared. He saw a Pluto sitting above the palace with an ugly face. Zeng crawled on the ground and did not dare to move. Pluto read the file, only looked at a few lines, and immediately became angry and said, "This is the crime of bullying the king and misleading the country. According to the law, it should be put into the oil pan."
All the ghosts echoed in unison, and the sound was like thunder. A giant ghost came forward, grabbed Zeng, and fell down the steps. There was a giant tripod in front of him, seven feet high, surrounded by red charcoal, extremely hot, hot feet red, heat wave. Forced. Zeng shrank and cried, and there was no way to escape. The giant grabbed his hair with his left hand and his feet in his right hand, and threw Zeng into the oil pan.
Zeng floated with the oil, his skin was burning, and his heart was full of pain. Boil the oil in the mouth, fry the heart, and just want to die quickly. After a meal, the giant ghost forked Zeng out with an iron fork and tossed it under the court. Pluto inspected the file and said angrily, "You should bully others and enter the knife mountain according to the law." The giant ghost captured Zeng and went to a small mountain, which was not very wide. The cliff was cut, and the sharp blade was vertical and horizontal, and it was as messy as bamboo shoots. Several criminals on the mountain are being punished, with sharp knives piercing the intestines, sharp swords piercing the abdomen, crying and wailing, which is extremely sad.
The giant ghost urged Zeng to go up the mountain. Zeng cried and shook his head and retreated. The giant ghost stabbed his brain with a poisonous cone. Zeng was in pain and begged for mercy. The giant ghost was furious. He lifted Zeng and threw it hard. Zeng only felt like flying like a cloud and fog, and his head was dizzy. Suddenly, his body sank, and the sharp blade penetrated his chest, and the pain was unspeakable. After a while, Zeng's body was heavy and he couldn't help pressing down. The wound gradually widened, and he fell to the ground and got out of danger, but his limbs curled up, and he was already unconscious.
The giant ghost escorted him to see Pluto. Pluto said coldly, "This guy sold it before he was born. Officials, corrupt and corrupt the law, invade the land, and the crime cannot be forgiven. Left and right, check for me, how much gold and silver has been smuggled up by this goods? The subordinates reported, "3,21 million taels." Pluto said, "Very good. Let him drink the amount of corruption."
In a moment, ghosts take money and pile them up on the steps, as many as hills. The iron pot was set up in the hall, the fire was burned, and the silver ingots and copper plates were melted. The pot was full of iron juice. The ghost pawn scooped it up with a spoon and poured the iron juice into Zeng's throat one by one. His skin was cracked and the stench rushed to the sky; his internal organs were boiling, which was extremely uncomfortable. Zeng regretted. Before his death, he only hoped that the more silver, the better, but at this moment, he was eager to be less and less.
It took half a day before I finished drinking the iron juice. Pluto ordered his men to take this man to Ganzhou and be reincarnated as a woman. Walking a few steps, I saw an iron bar, several feet thick, wearing a fire wheel on it, with a diameter of hundreds of miles, colorful light, the ghost pawn whipped Zeng and ordered him to climb the wheel. Zeng closed his eyes and stepped on it, the fire wheel turned, his body fell down, and the wind roared in his ear.
When I opened my eyes again, I had turned into a baby girl, my parents' shabby clothes and straw shoes, a dirt house, and a wooden ladle and bamboo stick in the room. Zeng suddenly felt in his heart that he had become the son of a beggar. In the future life, Zeng begged along the street every day, hungry, thin clothes, and bitter cold wind. At the age of 14, Zeng was sold to Xiucai as a concubine. His first wife was fierce. She was whipped every day and even burned her chest with a soldering iron. The situation was unbearable. Fortunately, Xiucai loved her and was a little relieved.
The owner's evil young man, coveting Zeng's beauty, turned over this day. The wall enters the house and forces him to have an affair. Zeng thought that he was guilty in his previous life, and the punishment of the yin department was severe. How could he commit it again? So he shouted loudly. The scholar couple came to save him when he heard the news, and the evil young man left with hatred.
Not long after they got married, they slept with Xiucai this night and complained about their pillow. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. The door kicked open. Two thieves entered with knives, cut off the Xiucai's head, squee for property, and robbed it. In the robbery, Zeng hid in the quilt and did not dare to say anything, and then the thief left. Zeng shouted to his wife. His eldest wife came to check when she heard the news and was shocked. She suspected that Zeng colluded with his adulter and murdered his husband. Therefore, he sued the government, assassinated severely tortured him, and quickly closed the case. He made a judgment: Zeng murdered his own husband and was executed by Ling Chi according to the law. Immediately Execution.
Zeng was full of grievances, and he only felt the bottom of Jiuyou, 18 layers of hell, and there was no such darkness. While crying, I suddenly heard my companion call: "Brother Zeng, wake up. Did you have a nightmare?" Zeng was shocked and saw the old monk sitting cross-legged. All his companions complained, "I'm hungry at night. Why can't I wake up?" Zeng didn't know what to do.
The old monk smiled and said, "Is it effective for the fortune teller to say that you can be a prime minister?" Zeng became more and more stunned. He bowed down and asked for advice on Buddhism. The old monk said, "If you practice benevolence and virtue, you can grow green lotus in the fire pit. The old monk's words are all about this. Please benefactor." Zeng seemed to have some understanding and returned with melancholy. Since then, he has had a thin official career and lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and disappeared.
