Scroll of Seven Sorrows

Floating life is like a dream, dream is like a floating life, the good days are short, Zize Qiuxu.The dragon girl weeps, Lanke returns home, Huangliang dreams, and butterfly dreams Zhuangzhou.Hatred each other, revenge each other, when will it stop?The title of the wild goose pagoda, I have seen Chang'an all over, and I am still in the farmhouse when I wake up.Drinking to soothe your sorrows, falling into this life, still wandering after death.

——"Floating Dream"

The name Lu Zhenhai was learned by Xie Bi'an from Xiaojuan.

On the second day after appreciating the moon, Fan Wujiu hurried out to inquire about the news.After searching for a whole day, they only found out that Sun Xiang once had a younger brother. This younger brother was outstanding. He became a Jinshi in his teens, but within a few years he committed suicide because he embezzled money for disaster relief.However, due to the long time, the people related to the events of that year can hardly be found anymore, but his intuition tells Xie Bi'an that there may be something hidden about this junior brother's death.

When I asked Xiaojuan, as expected.Lu Zhenhai was originally Sun Xiang's fellow villager, and was more than ten years younger than Sun Xiang, but because he was smart and intelligent since childhood, he actually participated in the scientific examination in the same year as Sun Xiang.

After a spring, both of them won the first prize, and Sun Xiang won the third prize in a row, directly becoming the number one scholar.

In the same year, Lu Zhen was transferred overseas to be an official, while Sun Xiang stayed in the capital.

A few years later, because of Lu Zhenhai's outstanding political achievements, the people in the prefecture and county under his jurisdiction lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the court was in the middle of employing people, so he was transferred back to the capital to be an official.Lu Zhenhai's talent is already outstanding, coupled with the years of experience, he has been more and more valued by the emperor, and he has been promoted to multiple levels, attracting the attention of all officials.

Soon the Yellow River flooded, and Lu Zhenhai was sent to provide relief.Back then, Zheng Laoshang was an official in the cabinet, had disagreements with Lu Zhenhai politically, and held a grudge for a long time. Taking advantage of Lu Zhenhai's disaster relief, he bribed Lu Zhenhai's deputy to set up a frame, and charged him with corruption and perverting the law.At that time, Sun Xiang was not a high-ranking official, so he tried his best to save Lu Zhenhai's life.But Lu Zhenhai was young and energetic after all, and couldn't bear such slander, so he committed suicide to prove his innocence, but he never thought that after his death, he would be labeled as committing suicide in fear of crime.

Sun Xiang has always regarded Lu Zhenhai as his biological brother, and feels extremely guilty for not protecting him.A few years later, Sun Xiang secretly collected evidence of Mr. Zheng's bribery, and joined forces with Mr. Zheng's mortal enemy, and finally pulled him off the horse.

Later, Sun Xiang was promoted all the way, finally reached the phase, and became the most admired person by scholars in the whole country.

But in the fifth year of No. 20 after he finished his revenge for Lu Zhen, Sun Xiang met Zheng Li at a routine inspection gathering of students before the exam.Zheng Li's appearance was exactly the same as that of Mr. Zheng's son, Zheng Zezao. Sun Xiang only took one look at him and recognized him.

Thinking of his junior brother who died tragically, Sun Xiang decided to find a way to get rid of Zheng Li.He secretly sent someone to find out Zheng Li's past, found the gentleman who sponsored Zheng Li, bribed the gentleman, and obtained Zheng Li's usual test papers and handwriting.Then he sent someone to report Zheng Li's fraud in the imperial examination so that he would never be an official.

But Sun Xiang didn't expect that Zheng Li inherited Zheng Lao's talents and learning, and was selected as Tanhua Lang in the palace examination.But there was no turning back when he opened the bow, Sun Xiang, who had always cherished his talents, still attacked Zheng Li.The ending was as he expected, Zheng Li lost his reputation and was driven back to his hometown.

"what are you guys saying?"

Xie Bi'an and Sun Xiang turned their heads, only to see Zheng Li standing at the gate of the courtyard beside them.

Standing behind Zheng Li, Fan Wujiu gestured to Xie Bi'an, saying that he could not stop Zheng Li.

It turned out that Zheng Li watched Xie Bi'an leave in a hurry, and guessed that he must be looking for Sun Xiang, so he followed, but he didn't want to listen to the conversation between the two.

"Brother Xie, do you mean that my grandfather harmed others and caused the entire Zheng family to suffer?"

Xie Bi'an also knew that Zheng Li was a smart person, and it was almost impossible to hide it from him, so he confessed everything.

"Why?" Zheng Li seemed to have been greatly shocked, and fell to the ground, "Since my father was addicted to drinking and sex all day long, my grandfather who has long since left has always been my spiritual sustenance and my role model. But he How could such a thing be done?"

"It's all for the sake of profit. To achieve his position, if you want to get greater benefits, you have to do some shameless things." Sun Xiang smiled.

"I don't believe, what kind of interests are more important than my own conscience? My grandfather, how could he do this?" If I do something that violates etiquette and morality, I will have no face to be an official in the court again, and Zheng will no longer take part in the scientific examination in this life."

Zheng Li stood up from the ground, patted the dirt on his clothes, his eyes determined.

Suddenly, Sun Xiang suddenly saw the shadow of Lu Zhenhai from Zheng Li.If it was a younger brother, he would probably make the same choice as Zheng Li.The imperial court is a scourge, why is there such an upright and bloody grandson?Sun Xiang smiled wryly.

"It's not necessary. After listening to Mr. Xie's words, I suddenly became curious. What would the grandson of that old fox Zheng Duan do if he stood in the same position as his grandfather?" Sun Xiang said, "I'll give you a chance." , if you are lucky enough to be elected, you can still keep the aura of grandeur in your heart for a lifetime after entering the court as an official, and I will not pursue what your grandfather did back then, how about it?"

Zheng Li looked at the thin old man in front of him, and nodded solemnly.

One month later, in the palace examination, Zheng Li had a mouth, a pen, and outstanding appearance, and was named Tanhualang.Fan Wujiu has never been familiar with poetry and books, his name never even made it to the list, Xie Bi'an's name was at the bottom of the list because his answers were too jumpy, neither of them could go to the hall to see Tanhualang's demeanor in person.I only know that as soon as Zheng Li came back from the palace examination, the small post house was full of people ranging from senior officials to ordinary people, just to see how handsome this year's Tanhualang looks.

After finally getting rid of the visitors who came for various purposes, Zheng Li finally pulled out and went to the next room to talk to the black and white two.

"Your Majesty personally gave Zheng a house. If you don't mind, Brother Xie and Brother Fan can move in with me." Zheng Li said politely.

Xie Bi waved his hand and said: "Brother Zheng's kindness is appreciated by us, but my two ambitions are not here. I planned to bid farewell to Brother Zheng in a few days."

Zheng Li didn't try to persuade the two of them, but said: "People have their own aspirations, and Zheng can't force them. But the three of us were classmates, and we took part in the scientific examination in the same year. Zheng already regarded the two of us as best brothers. If there is a need for Zheng in the future, please feel free to ask, Zheng will definitely go through fire and water, and will not hesitate. By the way, if the two of you return to your hometown, please tell Yun'er that after I settle down, I will definitely take her Take it to the capital."

"That's natural, Brother Zheng, don't worry." Xie Bi'an said, "Xie has something else I want to ask Brother Zheng."

"But it doesn't matter."

Xie Bi'an: "I don't know if Brother Zheng has found the meaning of life now that he has a bright future in high school?"

"The meaning of living? I don't know what brother Xie means?" Zheng Li asked.

Xie Bi'an looked out the window with a smile, and said, "That's right, Brother Zheng, what do you want to live for in the future?"

"Why do I live? Hehe, for the safety of the country and the people, to prove to Sun Xiang that I will not change my ambition for the sake of profit, and to grow old with Yun'er together." Zheng Li said.

"But what if one day, what you said all come to naught?" Xie Bi'an was still reluctant.

Zheng Li pondered: "Then I will... go back to my hometown and be a teacher, and teach the world the awe-inspiring righteousness in my chest. There will always be someone who can help me realize the peace of the country and the people, and someone who can help me prove that wealth and honor will never change."

"I hope you can always remember what you said today. No matter what you are living for, it is always good to live... Xie, let me go."

Obviously it was Zheng Li who came to say goodbye, but Xie Bi'an dragged Fan Wujiu out of the posthouse first.

"What's the benefit of being alive, Qi Ye?" Fan Wujiu joked after leaving the posthouse.

Xie Bi'an looked around, then whispered in Fan Wujiu's ear, "For example, I can leave something around your neck."

Fan Wujiu looked indifferent, but Xie Bi'an still noticed that his ears were a shade redder than before.

"How many tasks are we missing?" After walking for a while, Fan Wujiu spoke.

Xie Bi'an thought about it, Qin Yu, Xia Jinghe, Yin Zihui, Qi Wen plus today's Zheng Li, there are actually five.

They wiped out the five "nail households" who were stuck in the Infernal Hell.

"It's still two." Xie Bi'an stretched out two fingers towards Fan Wujiu and said, "It's still short of resentment and love."

"That's a quick fix, let's go directly to the next mission." Fan Wujiu said.

Xie Bi'an dared to take out the scroll when he walked to a place where no one was around.

Xiaojuan hasn't turned into a human form for a long time, and he yawned when he came out.

"The next task is to kill brothers." Xiao Juan, who was only around Xie Bi'an's waist, pointed her toes up and said to the black and white ghost messengers, "Brothers fighting each other, it's boring."

"Why are brothers fighting each other?" Fan Wujiu asked.

"The two brothers in this family are still twins, and they look exactly alike. But the parents only love the second child, and are very indifferent to the eldest. The eldest is under the shadow of the younger brother. He grows crooked when he grows up, and then he hates the younger brother. He killed. Over."

Xiao Juan is expressionless, Fan Wujiu is also expressionless, they both look at Xie Bi'an.

"It's very common." Xie Bi'an said, "Didn't that one, Li Shimin, do the same thing back then? Who else, Yongzheng or Qianlong, also climbed to the throne in this way. Why is it that he is the only one who suppressed it? In the endless hell?"

"I don't know." Xiaojuan replied.

"Forget it, I'll ask Ah Bang." Xie Bi'an pinched a thousand-mile sound transmission.

Ah Pong was on patrol when he sneezed suddenly, feeling that something bad was about to happen.Sure enough, he received a communication request from Xie Bi'an in the next second.

hang up.

Ah Bang smiled like a two-hundred-jin calf.

"Forget it, I'd better ask and listen." Xie Bi'an made another tactic.

Di Ting was lying under the desk listening to the Bodhisattva chanting sutras when he suddenly felt Xie Bi'an's summons.Di Ting looked at the closed eyes of the Bodhisattva, and couldn't bear to disturb him, so he could only cast spells secretly to listen to Xie Bi'an's inner voice.

Ask me why that kid was crushed in the endless hell?

Of course it was because he wanted to die and ran to the Bodhisattva's temple to kill people.

Di Ting thinks this question is boring, and it will make Bodhisattva appear small-minded.

no, sorry.

Just pretend you're on the phone.

Xie Bi'an turned off the sound transmission, stared at Fan Wujiu and said, "Whatever, just tell him not to kill his brother. Let's go."

Seventh Master was angry again, and Eighth Master dared not speak, he felt aggrieved like a 1.8-meter daughter-in-law.
