Chapter 396: Sky Green Star Yang Xiong! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

No. 3 Yang Xiong! 【Ask for monthly ticket】

"Does the Taoist mean that Xiaoke wants to fake his death and leave?"

Chai Jin was very smart. After hearing Qiao Daoqing talk about dying, he immediately thought of a way to fake his own death to escape. Otherwise, if he, a member of the former royal family, left the fief rashly, the court would never let him go.

Qiao Daoqing asked:

"Are Mr. Chai Daguan willing to give up his current identity?"

"I am willing, just like a bird in a cage. If I can flutter my wings and fly high, I will naturally not miss this opportunity!"

To others, being a member of the royal family represents fine clothing, fine food, and endless wealth and splendor, but to the Chai family, it is like a shackle.

Every move is monitored, there is no freedom, everything you say has to be careful, you are just a puppet on strings.

When Zen first abdicated the throne, the Chai family was still a large family, but by Chai Jin's generation, the main line of the Chai family was only Chai Jin, who was alone.

Now that he has a chance to break free from this prison, Chai Jin is overjoyed:

"May I ask, sir, how to implement it specifically?"

For Qiao Daoqing, who is proficient in illusion, this matter is quite simple:

"After tonight, I will pretend to be you and invite all the guests and friends to have a banquet tomorrow. During the banquet, I will vomit blood, point my finger at Tokyo, and curse Gao Qiu angrily before he dies."

Dying in public will definitely cause shock, and scolding Gao Qiu will tell the world that Gao Qiu framed him to death.

The reason why I did not scold the Zhao and Song royal families or Huizong was mainly to prepare for the future.

When Liu Bei and the Song Dynasty confront each other, he will resurrect them on the spot and denounce Zhao Ji's family as a wolf-hearted person. The effect will be even more sensational and can greatly damage the legitimacy of the Zhao and Song royal family.

Even the dead were resurrected and angrily denounced the emperor, which shows that Zhao Song's moral character was indeed lacking.

Chai Jin put down his wine glass and raised his hand to Qiao Daoqing:

"It's all thanks to the Taoist priest!"

Ever since he met Liu Guanzhang in the spring, Chai Jin had started planning to buy horses and secretly transferred family property that was difficult to realize to Qilin Village.

The transfer method was also very clever. Qilin Village sent someone over and pretended to be a hero who had defected. Chai Jin naturally entertained him with wine and food. Then he fell in love with him at first sight and presented him with a large amount of gold, silver or valuables that were difficult to cash out.

After all this going back and forth, the property was transferred and Chai Jin became known as a prodigal son.

In the end, even Zhao Ji couldn't stand it anymore, and specially sent an imperial edict to warn Chai Jin to be frugal and not to bring disgrace on the face of Chai's ancestors.

Chai Jin respectfully accepted the decree, and then wrote a letter on the spot for the eunuch who announced the decree to take home, saying that the family was really in trouble, and asked his majesty to allocate some money and food, and by the way, he would also send 180 pieces of silk to make a suit of clothes.

The clothes he is wearing now were saved by his uncle Chai Huangcheng when he was young. Showing off in the market every day is really detrimental to the dignity of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji didn't believe even a single word of Chai Jin's letter, but if he didn't believe it, he wouldn't believe it. As long as the Chai family was poor, they would have to prepare the money, food and supplies.

Who allowed the ancestor to snatch the throne from others?

It won't be long before the money and food will appear in the warehouse of Qilin Village, and some rare gadgets will be sent to the real world and put into the vault.

After half a year of hard work, the Chai Manor is now an empty shell and can be left at any time.

Chai Jin didn't have many confidants. In the past, due to his personality, no one looked down on him, so he got the nickname Little Tornado.

After having a heart-to-heart relationship with Liu Bei, Chai Jin's situation opened up. He had a higher vision and looked down on the idle people in the manor.

Shi Xiu touched the gold-inlaid jade wine glass in his hand and said regretfully:

"But Pengju didn't follow me, otherwise these things would have been sent to the real world. Sir, I like them very much."

Chai Jin waved his hand and said:

"This kind of wine vessel is nothing. I will look for a better one if I have the opportunity in the future... It's a pity that I can't go to the real world. Otherwise, Xiao Ke will definitely go there to pay homage sincerely and listen to the teacher's teachings..."

Qiao Daoqing waved his hand:

"You can go, but you can't come back. You have to either settle in the real world or go to another world... Mr. Chai Daguan, who was undercover this time, happened to think about it for a while and decided to stay and follow the emperor's uncle to make contributions. It’s better to leave here and find a new direction.”

"Don't worry, Taoist Master, Xiao Ke will definitely think about it seriously."

When the conversation was almost over, the three of them stood up and left. Chai Jin pulled Qiao Daoqing and Shi Xiu and said:

"I hit it off with you two, and tonight we will hold a candle and talk forever!"

After saying that, he staggered and took Shi Xiu and Qiao Daoqing to the backyard where he lived, and even took out his clothes for them to choose.

Qiao Daoqing was not polite, put on a set of brocade clothes, and soon looked like Chai Jin.

Chai Jin, on the other hand, put on his beard, loosened his hair, and put on his Taoist robe.

Qiao Daoqing wiped it on his face, and a brand new Qiao Daoqing appeared.

After changing his identity, Qiao Daoqing specially chatted with Chai Jin for a while, learning Chai Jin's speaking style and accent.

"Master Chai, please try not to talk tomorrow and just watch quietly. When I pretend to vomit blood and die, you can take advantage of the chaos and leave. Don't worry about me. I will escape before the coffin is buried."

With Qiao Daoqing's ability, he would never use illusions again to get into the coffin and let everyone nail a phantom into the coffin.

When he comes back to life, he can just dig out the coffin or blow up the tomb directly. Taoist priest Qiao will make another shocking appearance.

After one night, Qiao Daoqing officially stepped into the role of Chai Jin, while Chai Jin, dressed in Taoist robes, was holding a fly whisk and looking at his yard like a bystander.

"Today we have a good wine. Invite the prefect, the governor, the governor and other officials of Cangzhou to the manor for the banquet. All the officials of Cangzhou must be present. Anyone who does not give me, Chai Jin, face will be impeached!"

Since he died in public, the weight of the bystanders needs to be increased.

If he pretended to die in front of the blind drifters, the court would most likely send someone over, and even open the coffin for an autopsy to confirm that Chai Jin was dead, not escaping.

With the prefect and others as witnesses, the court would be much more relieved, and at most reprimanded for poor supervision.

After giving the order, "Chai Jin" asked the housekeeper of the manor to invite all the prominent gentry owners in Cangzhou to come, and not return until they were drunk at noon.

After arranging these things, he personally supervised the servants of the manor to slaughter pigs and sheep and began to prepare lunch.

Not far away, Shi Xiu said with some regret:

"Such a big manor, it's ruined just like that, don't you feel bad?"

Chai Jin waved his whisk:

"What you see is the manor, what I see is the cage. Now I can finally let the birds fly high in the sky and the fish jump in the sea. I finally got rid of this cage."

He observed his manor like an outsider.

He found that many people were not clean, such as the servants who slaughtered sheep. They killed a total of five sheep, but they hid six sheep hind legs.

There was more pork, and half of the meat would be hidden, either sold or secretly taken home.

As for wine vessels and the like, many people put them in their arms, which made Chai Jin almost unable to hold back several times:

"I have been good enough to the servants, but they are greedy. No wonder I always hear that some servants will be beaten to death. They are really greedy."

"It's normal. If the cook doesn't steal, the grain will not be harvested. This world is full of people of all kinds. Look at it more openly."

Shi Xiu comforted them and asked people to prepare six fast horses, feed them with good feed, and tie them at the door of the backyard to facilitate escape.

If they were not afraid of being too conspicuous, and they needed to cross several rivers to go to Zhending Prefecture, Shi Xiu and Qiao Daoqing would drive Liu Bei's Wrangler to pick up Chai Jin.

However, with the blessing of fast horses, it is not a problem to leave Cangzhou in a short time.

As long as they leave Cangzhou, the three of them don't have to rush.

Soon, noon arrived, and celebrities from Cangzhou Prefecture arrived one after another. "Chai Jin" stood at the door to greet them, and was warm and polite to everyone, and from time to time he lowered his voice to say a few intimate words.

"Qiao Daoqing" who was not far away watched this scene and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that Master Qiao was so knowledgeable about the ways of the world, but it was me. Now that I have stepped out of it, I found that I was shallow-minded and had no merit in interpersonal relationships."

I had been in that position and couldn't see it before, but now as a spectator, I found that everyone in the manor was only falsely polite, sucking blood as much as possible like flies.

When the prefect came with a group of heavyweight officials, the banquet officially began.

"Chai Jin" said a lot of flowery polite words, welcoming everyone to come, and toasted everyone one by one.

When the atmosphere of the banquet reached its most enthusiastic, he picked up the wine glass and was about to say a few more toasts, but suddenly he opened his mouth and vomited a large pool of blood, and the officials present were immediately shocked.

"Call a doctor!"

"What happened to you, Mr. Chai?"

"Why are you vomiting blood?"

"..."

"Chai Jin" collapsed to the ground. Just as he was about to say something, he vomited another mouthful of blood. Then he pointed tremblingly in the direction of Kaifeng and said with all his strength:

"Gao... Gao Qiu, I... I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

After that, he twitched and died.

Everyone present: "..."

What the hell, are we involved in the court's conspiracy against the royal family of the previous dynasty?

Why is it Gao Qiu, the general? Does he have any grudges with Mr. Chai?

Damn, come here for a drink, how did you get into this kind of thing?

The prefect's face was full of black lines. He wanted to drink some wine to calm down, but he was worried that his wine was poisoned, so he had to put down the wine glass and stood up to stabilize the situation.

Since this happened, we can only deal with it as properly as possible to avoid getting into trouble.

Damn, I knew that this kind of wine involving the royal family of the previous dynasty is not so delicious. I hope the court will not bear a grudge, otherwise I will forget about promotion in the future.

The prefect put away his thoughts and said to the chief supervisor:

"Send someone in quickly, and all the people in Chai Mansion must be strictly interrogated, and the real culprit who poisoned must be caught... Summon the coroner, come and check the body of Mr. Chai."

While making arrangements, Shi Xiu in the corner suddenly said:

"You killed Mr. Chai, and you still want to occupy his property. What's the reason?"

Many servants who depended on Chai Jin for food and money were immediately angry when they heard this. Some flipped the table, and some cursed. They suspected that the poison was given by these officials, and the two sides quarreled.

And the instigator Shi Xiu sneaked to the back door with Chai Jin and ran away on horseback.

Before leaving, Shi Xiu did not forget to turn to the kitchen and pack a lot of food.

"I learned from Shi Dalang that no matter what time, you must carry food with you, otherwise you will easily go hungry."

Chai Jin had never been hungry since he was a child, and he found it very novel:

"Can't I just bring silver to buy it?"

"If there is no village or store in front of me, or if the silver is lost, I will be at a loss, so it is better to bring some, just in case!"

Soon after the two left, Qiao Daoqing's voice came from Shi Xiu's intercom:

"From what we see here, he will probably be put into the coffin before dark. You should leave Cangzhou and find a place to rest. I will find you after I finish my work."

"Okay, Taoist priest, be careful, don't be nailed in the coffin by them."

"I'm sitting on the rafter, and I can't nail it in."

After leaving Cangzhou City, Shi Xiu and Chai Jin walked twenty miles west and rested in a temple on a hillock. This temple was built by Chai Jin with money. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy now.

"When a distinguished guest comes, please enjoy a vegetarian meal!"

Although the abbot in the temple was curious that the Taoist priest had actually entered the Buddhist temple, for some reason, he always felt that the two people were very friendly. He quickly brought tea and water, and asked the young novice to prepare a sumptuous vegetarian meal.

Shi Xiu was naturally not polite and started eating as soon as he sat down.

Chai Jin, on the other hand, felt that it was not very honorable, so he went to the merit box in the front store and stuffed two ingots of silver before he started to eat.

Although it was a vegetarian meal, it tasted pretty good. The young monk in the temple also took their horses to the backyard, fed them with concentrate and water, and took good care of them.

After eating and drinking, the two of them sat at the entrance of the temple and waited for Qiao Daoqing. Then they saw a man wearing a bamboo hat staggering towards the entrance of the temple. When they were about to arrive, his body tilted and fell to the ground.

Chai Jin subconsciously wanted to save people, but was stopped by Shi Xiu:

"Officials, don't worry. I heard from Peng Ju that there is a behavior in the real world called touching porcelain, which is to deliberately lie on the ground to blackmail. I think this man is strong and strong. If you wait a little longer, if it is blackmail, he will definitely lie down for a long time."

Chai Jin opened his mouth:

"What if he is really injured or sick?"

"That has nothing to do with us. I heard that Zhenren Luo from Erxian Mountain has lived for more than five hundred years. Does the official know why he lives so long?"

"Why?"

"Just don't care about so many other things."

Chai Jin: "..."

Shi Xiu, you are so beautiful!

However, seeing a big living person lying on the ground, the two of them had no intention of chatting. Although Shi Xiu said to mind his own business, he still couldn't restrain his curiosity and strode over.

When I got closer, I realized that this person looked familiar:

"Brother Yang?"

Chai Jin asked:

"know?"

"This person is Yang Xiong, who declined the imperial uncle's invitation."

After speaking, Shi Xiu dug into his arms and took out two French buns. He helped Yang Xiong up, tore open the package, broke off the buns and fed them to Yang Xiong's mouth.

Shi Xiu also hurriedly went to the temple to bring a bowl of honey water. The two of them were busy feeding it, and then Yang Xiong opened his eyes:

"Dare I ask if this is the underworld?"

"Yes, what crime did you commit?"

Yang Xiong was honest and answered immediately:

"The villain killed his wife and came to Cangzhou to seek refuge with Chai Daguan. He didn't want him to die today. There was a funeral at home, so the villain had to leave. He was hungry on the road. He wanted to seek refuge in the temple, but fell to the ground... Huh? Brother Shi Xiuxian? Are you dead too?”

"You're not dead. You just passed out in front of me and Chai Daguan. Get up quickly and eat something more."

Shi Xiu told Cangzhou and Chai Jin how they had faked their deaths, and Yang Xiong was surprised.

After explaining the ins and outs, Chai went into the backyard and took out a braised chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and some other cooked food from the saddle on his horse's back, and delivered them to the temple gate. Yang Xiong sat cross-legged on the ground and ate.

The abbot in the temple wanted to say something, but in the end he just proclaimed Amitabha, turned around and went to the temple, out of sight.

After Yang Xiong had eaten something, he finally regained his composure, thanked Shi Xiu seriously, and saluted Chai Zhang, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, before sitting down and continuing to chat.

"Brother Yang, why did you kill your wife?"

Shi Xiu is more concerned about Yang Xiong's murder. What kind of evil did Pan Qiaoyun do to force this withered man to a dead end?

When mentioning this matter, Yang Xiong sighed:

"I regret not listening to my wise brother. If I had followed Uncle Liu Huang sooner, it would not have led to such a tragedy."

The last time Liu Bei went to Jizhou, Shi Xiu, who sold firewood for a living, happily went with him, but Yang Xiong felt that as a jailer and executioner of the two houses, he had a formal job, a wife, and an old father-in-law who was a butcher, so his work and life were smooth. Happiness, why do you have to wade into muddy waters?

So he declined Liu Bei's invitation and continued to live his happy life.

However, he wanted to live a good life, but he ended up with a wife who liked to pursue excitement. Pan Qiaoyun did things for her ex-husband, and as expected, she hooked up with Pei Ruhai.

This time there was no intervention from Shi Xiu, and Yang Xiong wanted to go further at work and kept working night shifts, which gave the dog men and women more opportunities to make peace.

Tianlao Star Yang Xiong became Tianlu Star Yang Xiong.

In the end, the father-in-law Pan noticed it and saw Pei Ruhai entering and exiting his home. He wanted to persuade his daughter to calm down, but Pan Qiaoyun didn't listen at all, and even got worse. He led Pei Ruhai around the house in broad daylight, and was hit by Yang Xiong who had finished the morning shift. Got it right.

Yang Xiong, who realized that he had been cuckolded, was furious and beat Pei Ruhai severely. Pan Qiaoyun quickly apologized in tears, and the matter came to an end.

Unexpectedly, Pan Qiaoyun held a grudge and kept buying arsenic and putting it in the chicken soup, intending to poison Yang Xiong, but Old Man Pan drank it.

After accidentally killing his own father, Pan Qiaoyun panicked and went to discuss with Pei Ruhai. Yang Xiong, who was on official duty, caught him again and killed the adulterer and adulterer in a rage.

Just when he was about to surrender, he discovered that his father-in-law had been poisoned to death. His life was at stake, and it was difficult to explain clearly.

In desperation, Yang Xiong had to flee for his life. When he arrived in Cangzhou, he was penniless and wanted to go to Chai's manor for a big meal, but he met Chai Jin who was pretending to die.

He had no choice but to continue walking westward, and eventually fainted from hunger at the gate of the temple.

Shi Xiu said:

"We brothers are destined to follow Uncle Liu Huang. If we hadn't come to see Mr. Chai, Brother Yang, you might have starved to death here. Uncle Liu indirectly saved your life."

Chai Jin: "..."

This brainwashing skill is quite good!

If you two hadn't come to Cangzhou, I would still be eating hot pot, singing songs, and partying in the manor.

Let alone Yang Xiong, even if there are ten thousand Yang Xiong, they can still be entertained properly.

Yang Xiong is now a murderer and penniless, but his mentality is not as good as that of Shi Xiu and Chai Jin. He sighed melancholy:

"I have no talent, no skills in literature and martial arts, and I know nothing except a few words of the Liao bird language. Even if I go to join the emperor, what can I do?"

Shi Xiu immediately extracted the keywords:

"You know Khitan? That's great. Uncle Huang is in need of talents like you!"
