Chapter 2764 Black Dog Child, Heaven’s Punishment Descends

"Puff!"

Hearing this, Chen Tai, who was drinking tea, sprayed it out directly. Li Mubai and Zhang Shen froze at the same time, turned their heads suddenly, and stared at Xu Qi'an.

"Isn't the person who wrote the poem Yang Ling?"

Xu Qi'an scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a stiff face.

"That's my pseudonym!"

"But the calligraphy is extremely exquisite, it can be called a masterpiece. Even the old man and others don't have such vigorous writing power!"

The three people's implication is very clear. They all know Xu Qi'an's bad handwriting very well, and it is impossible for him to write such a supreme masterpiece.

"That was written by Lord Xu Zisheng!"

"Oh, that's it!"

The three great scholars accepted this reality in an instant, which made Xu Qi'an a little angry. The scholars were indeed unreliable. They didn't trust their disciples so much, but trusted an outsider.

"What are you doing in the Jiaofangsi?"

Suddenly, Zhang Shen seemed to think of something, his face straightened, and he asked hurriedly.

Xu Qi'an showed a bit of guilt and his eyes were evasive, but fortunately he did not avoid this question and answered his cheap teacher's question very frankly.

"Young Mu Ai!"

The room suddenly fell silent, and the three great scholars felt blood clots in their chests, wanting to vomit but unable to.

A few seconds later, Zhang Shen stood up, and he turned around in the room, very anxious, pointing at Xu Qi'an's nose, and said repeatedly.

"You, you, the eternal masterpiece, you use it on a prostitute, is she worthy? Is she worthy?"

"Yes, yes, just use it on you!"

Xu Qi'an secretly complained in his heart, and pretended to listen to the teacher's admonition on the surface, like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, obviously listening in one ear and out the other.

Li Mubai was also very emotional, and he also agreed with Zhang Shen's point of view, and commented.

"If you want to write about plum blossoms, then write about plum blossoms. It's so vulgar to title it "Presented from Yingmei Pavilion to Fuxiang". It's such a waste of a good poem."

"If it could be changed to "Presented from Yunlu Academy to Mr. Mubai", you would probably laugh like a pig, right?"

Xu Qian'an looked at the inexplicably excited Li Mubai and complained again in his heart. On the surface, it was indeed a waste to use this amazing poem on a prostitute. But things can't be judged by the surface alone. If he didn't win the favor of Fuxiang, the courtesan, with this poem, how could he use his magical powers to get rid of his virginity and subdue the female demon!

"Li Mubai and Zhang Shen can accept him as a disciple, so can I! Since there are two teachers, why can't there be three teachers?"

Chen Daru was impressed by Xu Qian'an's poetic talent and secretly decided to find an opportunity to accept Xu Qian'an as his disciple in the future.

After a verbal bombardment, Xu Qi'an admitted his mistake and promised that he would let the two teachers revise and polish his poems and lyrics in the future. Only then did Li Mubai and Zhang Shen reluctantly calm down.

In addition to the regret of missing out on the famous poem, the two great scholars really felt that Xu Qi'an wasted this poem on a courtesan in the Jiaofang Division, which was a waste of talent!

Seeing that the matter had been discussed, Xu Xinnian finally spoke up and hurriedly asked his teacher Zhang Shen.

"Teacher, my younger sister has been enlightened in the academy for many days. I wonder if it has been effective?"

Xu Xinnian was talking about Xu Lingyin, a little girl who only knew how to eat. She looked like Xu Zhiping, with an ordinary appearance and a stupid personality. She was loved by Xu Qi'an because only this little sister looked more ordinary than Xu Qi'an and inherited the genes of the Xu family. Xu Xinnian and Xu Lingyue looked like Xu Qi'an's aunt, and they were very pretty, which made Xu Qi'an feel inferior from time to time.

The three great scholars looked at each other, and Chen Tai couldn't help laughing, as if he had never seen such a stubborn stone, and said.

"Your sister is really determined and indestructible."

Zhang Shen was also very helpless. For the sake of his disciples, he did his best and changed several teachers for Xu Lingyin. He smiled bitterly.

"In ten days, she has changed four teachers."

Li Mubai also felt a little funny. He looked at Xu Qi'an and the others with a very strange look, suspecting that the people in their family were not normal, and finally added.

"These four teachers have sworn that they will not enlighten children in this life."

Xu Qi'an had long known that his little bean was different, but he didn't expect that he was so naughty that the four teachers swore an oath. As expected, he was a member of the Xu family. He was not a good student at first glance. Now he felt more balanced in his heart and should be better to this little sister in the future.

Time passed like water, day and night. On this day, a shocking thing happened in Dafeng Kyoto, which made countless people feel numb.

The Earl of Pingyuan in Dafeng was killed. Although the power of the nobles in Dafeng has declined, the Earl is still the Earl after all, and there must be masters in the mansion. And the murderer was able to kill the Earl, injure the night watchman, and leave calmly. He is not an ordinary master.

Xu Zisheng knew a few secrets about this matter. It was done by Hengyuan, the sixth of the Tiandihui, and with the help of Xu Qian'an, the insider, he escaped the pursuit of the night watchman and the Sitianjian and successfully escaped. This matter is extremely complicated and involves a wide range of people. There are Buddhists, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, and Taoism involved. Xu Zisheng was too lazy to get involved and just watched coldly.

The case of the murder of the Earl of Pingyuan swept the court the next day, and the nobles were furious. The civil service group, which has always been at odds with the nobles, also attached great importance to this case. The censor of the Censorate wrote a letter to impeach Wei Yuan. Emperor Yuan Jing severely reprimanded the commander of the five guards in the capital and the commander of the night watchman Wei Yuan.

This matter is related to the power of nobles and nobles. It stands to reason that Xu Zisheng should take action, but Pingyuan Bo deserves it. He secretly cultivated the Yazi organization, trafficked people in the capital, and made huge profits. The Yazis abducted children and women, sold them to brothels, sold them to black workshops, and trained them into adults. The thief even cut off his hands and feet and wrapped them in black dog skin. He simply lost his conscience and was outrageous. His crimes were so serious that they are too numerous to describe. Xu Zisheng didn't want to have a conflict with the people of the Tiandihui because of such a scumbag.

However, due to the fact that he was also a member of the noble family, Xu Zisheng thought for a while, in order to make the people of Tiandihui feel more at ease, he felt that he still needed to warn them and let them understand that Dafeng Kyoto was not another place and they could do whatever they wanted. They are doing whatever they want, and although the honor has declined, it is not a being that they can bully at will.

In the early morning of this morning, the murderer of Uncle Ping Yuan, No. 6 of Tiandihui, monk Hengyuan, a disciple of Qinglong Temple in Buddhism, changed into an ordinary long gown. The spacious gown covered his burly body and wrapped his bald head with a sweat scarf. , blended into the early tenants, and left the inn silently.

Hengyuan ate at a breakfast stall on the roadside and walked towards the gate of the inner city. Approaching the city gate, he looked around calmly and found that there were twice as many guards at the city gate as before. There was even a Si Tianjian in white clothes, his clear eyes scrutinizing everyone who came out of the city.

Hengyuan blended into the crowd and headed towards the inner city. Si Tianjian's white-coated man also looked at him, but after a brief inspection, he let him go. As a disciple of Buddhism, he naturally had the means to eliminate the evil spirit after killing, and Xu Qi'an bought him very precious time.

Hengyuan went all the way east and returned to his residence near noon. Most of the houses here were built of loess, with roofs covered with broken black tiles. This was a slum area. He arrived at a simple courtyard with familiarity. The plaque on the door of the courtyard read: Health Hall!

The Yangshengtang was a welfare institution of the imperial court, specializing in taking in widows and widowers. Although it is run by the government, there are only a few old officials working in the courtyard, who can barely care for the orphans and elderly people in the courtyard.

Hengyuan stayed at the Yangsheng Hall as a monk, helping several old officials to take care of orphans and the elderly. He didn't pay a penny and often used money to subsidize the expenses of the Yangsheng Hall.

Over the past decade or so, the imperial court has become increasingly indifferent to welfare institutions such as Yangshengtang, often unable to allocate funds for months at a time, and government-run institutions have long existed in name only.

As soon as Hengyuan stepped into the courtyard, an old official came up to him and spoke earnestly.

"Master Hengyuan, please don't bring any more children in. The pot can no longer be opened in the hall."

Hengyuan put his hands together, with a compassionate face and a solemn look, and said in a deep voice.

"The poor monk will solve the money problem."

Speaking of this, Hengyuan thought of the friend Xu Qi'an mentioned. He also wanted to go out to pick up money every day.

After Hengyuan helped the old officials cook the porridge and distributed it to the elderly and children, the tall and muscular monk came to the backyard. There is a black dog in the woodshed in the backyard. It walks very clumsily, but its eyes sometimes shine.

The black dog clumsily walked to the monk's feet, raised his black and white eyes, and spoke intermittently with slurred speech.

"Blessed as the East China Sea, good luck... great profit."

Master Hengyuan looked at him with compassion, clasped his hands together and recited the Dharma in a low voice.

This black dog was the poor child rescued by Hengyuan. His teeth were wrapped in black dog skin, and he taught a few auspicious words to please the unsuspecting people and ask for rewards.

"That's all, what you did was merciful. I originally wanted to give you a warning to make you understand that Kyoto is not a place for wanton behavior, but after seeing this child, Uncle Ping Yuan died unjustly. It's not worth my taking action!"

Suddenly a clear voice came from behind Hengyuan, which surprised him. His body tensed up instantly, and he suddenly blocked the black dog and turned his head to look.

A handsome and heroic young man walked out. He was wearing a white Confucian shirt with fluttering sleeves. He was otherworldly and elegant. He looked like he had read poetry and books. The person who came was none other than Xu Zisheng. He originally wanted to warn Heng. Yuan, but seeing the miserable condition of this child, he was filled with anger and wanted to resurrect Uncle Ping Yuan and then execute him Ling Chi.

"Who are you?"

As a disciple of Buddhism, Hengyuan has superb Buddhist teachings and has entered the realm of a fifth-grade herrist, even reaching the peak of the fifth grade. He can be regarded as a Buddhist genius. What is even more rare is that he is compassionate and does good deeds with his own body, which is admirable.

Xu Zisheng walked out of the shadow of the corner, his calm eyes full of anger, looking down at the clumsy black dog. This was a living child, tortured into this state, like a beast, life was worse than death, and the clumsy look Looking at Xu Zisheng who was approaching, his eyes were black and white, full of innocence, his speech was vague, and he spoke clumsily auspicious words.

"Blessed as the East China Sea, good luck and great profit!"

"Damn it, damn Uncle Pingyuan!"

Xu Zisheng has never been so angry as he is now. He did not expect that Uncle Ping Yuan would be so hateful and vicious, and would torture the abducted child to such an extent that his beard and hair stood on end. This frightened the poor child in front of him, and he clumsily stepped back a few steps. He was still mumbling.

"Don't hit me, I was wrong!"

The clumsy black dog-like child had panic flashing in his black and white eyes, and huddled up. Hengyuan quickly stood in front of him again, looking at the uninvited guest warily.

Xu Zisheng realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly restrained his anger and regained his calmness. However, this calmness was so silent, and there were turbulent waves hidden in it. After taking a deep breath, Xu Zisheng took a look at Monk Hengyuan.

This big monk is burly, his robes are a little worn, he has a thick Buddhist bead hanging around his neck, two rows of scars on his bald head, his expression is bitter and full of hatred, he wears a pair of tattered cloth shoes, he seems to live in extreme poverty, but his eyes are full of peace, he is obviously contented, and his mood is very high.

"It stands to reason that you killed Pingyuan Bo in Dafeng Kyoto. As a member of the nobles, I should be united against the enemy, take you down, and send you to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but Pingyuan Bo deserves death, his crimes are so serious, I can't do anything for this scum!"

"So, you don't need to be on guard, just pretend I haven't been here today!"

Xu Zisheng didn't wait for Monk Hengyuan to speak, his eyes looked at the poor child who was curled up again, there was still a trace of fire burning in his eyes, urging the righteousness in his body, his words followed the law, and changed the rules of the world around him.

"I said that this child in front of me can restore his original appearance and be healthy and safe!"

As soon as the voice fell, the black dog skin fell off the child's body. The child grew new skin, which was white and tender. He regained his human form again, with all his hands and feet, without any injuries. A trace of surprise flashed in his black and white eyes. With timidity, he secretly looked at Xu Zisheng.

When Monk Hengyuan saw this, his face changed drastically. This was the Confucian saying that the law should follow the words. It could actually change the situation of the child in front of him. It was like the reverse flow of time. The means and supernatural powers were simply magical. Kyoto actually had such a terrible Confucian student. It was incredible.

Xu Zisheng seemed to be very interested in the shocked expression on Monk Hengyuan's face. His spiritual sense swept across the entire health hall, taking in all the scenes, and a look of compassion and pity flashed across his face.

The health hall is a very old courtyard. The plaque on the gate has long faded in the washing of wind and frost. It is filled with many thin and dirty children. There is a bright light in each of their eyes. It is the desire for survival and the future, which makes people feel frightened.

"The Health Hall is an official institution of the court, and I can't interfere, but I can give you an opportunity to prevent this place of merit from being contaminated by the secular world!"

"I said, every day there are kind people donating silver to the Health Hall to maintain expenses!"

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Zisheng's righteous spirit rushed out, merged into the world, and spread to the entire Kyoto City. It seemed that something had changed in the dark, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the world will be clear!"

After Xu Zisheng did all this, he didn't stop. He frowned slightly and looked at the inner city. His eyes seemed to penetrate the endless obstructions and crossed the void. He saw the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion, which was luxurious and rich, with bells ringing and food on the tripod. He was so angry that he spoke again, and his voice was so loud that it shook the entire Kyoto City, so that everyone could hear his words clearly.

"Pingyuan Bo has committed many evil deeds and deserves death. He secretly cultivated a gang of prostitutes and trafficked in people in the capital to make huge profits. The prostitutes kidnapped children and women, sold them to brothels and black workshops, trained them to be thieves, and even cut off their hands and feet and wrapped them in black dog skin. They are completely conscienceless and outrageous!"

"I say that Pingyuan Bo's lineage should pay for their sins. Good and evil will be rewarded, which is the justice of heaven and earth!"

The righteous spirit soared into the sky, upright and vast, filling the entire capital city, even shaking the national destiny of Dafeng and alarming the entire court. Everyone was horrified and looked up at the sky. They saw the white righteous spirit filling the sky and dimming the sun. Dark clouds gathered and covered the sky above the Earl of Pingyuan's mansion. Silver snakes danced wildly and roared continuously. Thunders fell one after another, killing the male descendants of Pingyuan Bo, evil servants, and even some cunning and vicious female relatives.

"This is the anger of a great Confucian scholar, shaking the heaven and earth, punishing sins!"

"When did a great second-rank Confucian scholar appear in the world? This is enough to shake the fate of the country!"

"What a great second-rank Confucian scholar, with one thought, the heaven and earth moved, and thunder punishment came to the world. He is indeed worthy of being a Confucian sage recorded in the classics, with magical means and shocking the world!"

"It is really a troubled time. There are still four days before the royal family worships their ancestors. Now a great second-rank Confucian scholar suddenly appears. There will be waves in his life. We need to strengthen our vigilance!"

In the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Jing stood in front of the window, looking up at the vast and magnificent righteousness of heaven and earth, his expression changed, and finally he opened his mouth and gave an order.

"Come here, pass on my order. Pingyuan Bo has committed many evils and sins. The title of Pingyuan Bo's lineage will be stripped, and the crime will be thoroughly investigated. Let the night watchmen go out, and no one who helps the tyrant to do evil will be let go!"

"As ordered!"

Even the emperor did not dare to ignore the anger of the great Confucian scholar, and issued an imperial decree to thoroughly investigate the affairs of Pingyuan Bo and give an explanation to this mysterious great Confucian scholar.

In the Health Hall, Monk Hengyuan was stunned, his heart was shaken, his fingers were raised, trembling slightly, and his mouth was not speaking properly.

"You are actually a second-rank scholar, how is this possible?"

"Little monk, you must keep it a secret, otherwise I will be unhappy!"

After that, Xu Zisheng's figure gradually faded and disappeared from here, which shocked Monk Hengyuan again. He secretly decided in his heart that he would never tell what happened today.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the Health Hall. A slave with an arrogant look walked in, threw down a purse, and said arrogantly.

"My master is kind and asked me to donate ten taels of silver!"

After that, he turned around and left without waiting for the people in the Health Hall to react, without giving everyone a chance to thank him.

When Monk Hengyuan saw this scene, he was even more awed by the young man of noble origin. Such a terrible method frightened him. How could there be such a terrible existence in the world.

When Monk Hengyuan thought of this, he quickly took out the fragment of the Earth Book from his arms and entered a message.

"No. 3, are there any scholars of noble origin in Kyoto?"

"No. 6, there are indeed such people in Kyoto, but most of them are useless. Only one is the top scholar of the current dynasty, the son of Marquis Wu'an, who is profound in Confucianism and Taoism and is known as the first among the young generation of Confucian scholars!"

"No. 6, you have met Xu Zisheng, you must not conflict with him, otherwise you will definitely die miserably!"

"Don't worry, No. 3, I will pay attention!"

No. 3 is Xu Qiyan, they can communicate with each other through the fragment of the Earth Book and exchange information.

While Monk Hengyuan and Xu Qiyan were communicating, No. 1 was peeking at the screen, silent, and secretly guessing in his heart.

"Could it be that the great scholar who just shocked Kyoto is Xu Ziyuan, otherwise how could there be so many coincidences, No. 6 who killed Pingyuan Bo just happened to ask about Xu Zisheng's identity!"
