People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 306 The most painful torture is to give him hope

After Zhang Yi brought Li's mother and daughter back, he closed the door of the Taoist temple, so Hu Weiyong came to the Qingxin Temple and was shut down.

His servant shouted from outside the wall, but those present were stunned.

This bastard, why are you looking for Zhang Yi?
Everyone present knew Hu Weiyong's name, because he had personally visited Lao Meng in the mourning hall.

When Li Shi heard him, his body couldn't help but tremble.

The girl from the Xu family, Deng Zhongxiu and others who came back with Zhang Yi also looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What is he doing here?"

The Xu family girl was indignant when she mentioned Hu Weiyong.

"Could it be that he came to apologize to Aunt Li's family?"

Zhang Yi shook his head, denying everyone's guess.

Although Hu Weiyong at this time was considered a senior member of the court, compared with the later prime ministers, his character was not well known by everyone.

This is an insidious, vicious, and unruly person.

To some extent, he is more domineering and lawless than Yang Xian.

How could such a person come to the door to admit his mistake?
The last time I went to the mourning hall, the emperor forced me to go.

"Brother Deng, go ask, but don't let him in!"

With Deng Zhongxiu around, Zhang Yi naturally ordered him around.

Deng Zhongxiu nodded and headed towards the front yard of the Taoist temple.

Outside the Taoist temple, Hu Weiyong waited impatiently. His son was dying at home, but he couldn't find Zhang Yi.

The little Taoist is not in the Taoist temple, is it in Chaotian Palace?

Hu Weiyong was about to go to Chaotian Palace to find someone when he heard the door babble open.

Deng Zhongxiu, the host of Chaotian Palace, opened the door and walked out.

"Is it Daoist Deng?"

The host of Chaotian Palace, Hu Weiyong, who is a political counselor of Zhongshu Province, has seen it before, so he hurried over to greet him.

"So it's Master Hu!"

Deng Zhongxiu greeted Hu Weiyong with a lukewarm attitude.

"I don't know what Mr. Hu is doing when he comes to the Pure Heart Temple. If it is to offer incense and pray for blessings, then please move to another place. My junior brother is not free at the moment, and there is no one to take care of the Taoist temple..."

Zhang Yi is in the Taoist temple?

Hu Weiyong was overjoyed. He also knew that his relationship with Zhang Yi was not good, and the little Taoist refused to see him as normal.

Hu Weiyong changed the topic, but said with a smile:

"I came to beg the gods, but not the sculpture, but the little god, your junior brother!
I heard that your junior brother is very skilled in medicine, and you have the magic medicine of antibiotics. There are patients in my husband's family who need this kind of medicine! "

He went straight to the point and explained why he came, and Deng Zhongxiu suddenly realized.

Immediately, he became a little angry, this old man was too bullying, his son killed the tenant of Qingxinguan, and he still wanted Zhang Yi to save his son?
Deng Zhongxiu had a straight face, and was about to refuse.

Thinking of Zhang Yi's words, he forcibly held back the disgust in his heart.

Hu Weiyong also knew that his own request was too much, so he said quickly:
"Deng Daochang, the seat of Xuanjiao Academy has been vacant. I just chatted with Li Xiang that day. I should find someone who can do things to take over the seat of Xuanjiao Academy...

The old man sees that you are young and promising, you are indeed a good candidate..."

There was a debate a while ago about the dispute over the Xuanjiao Academy.

Yang Xian wholeheartedly pushed Liu Yuanran to become the speaker of the Xuanjiao Academy, but the emperor did not make a decision.

Now Liu Yuanran is out of Beijing, but Zhu Yuanzhang has never made a conclusion on whether to hand over Xuanjiaoyuan to Longhushan. Hu Weiyong raised this question to express his goodwill to Longhushan.

Although the Prime Minister of Zhang Normal University teaches Taoism all over the world, Lao Zhang was exiled by the emperor to the north because he beat Yang Xian.

Although the so-called exile, everyone knows what is going on, so it should be a trip.

But during the period when he was suppressed, Longhushan's influence was reduced.

It would be very dangerous if someone stole the Xuanjiao Academy during this period, which was originally designed by the emperor to target Longhushan, and was controlled by someone other than Longhushan.

Hu Weiyong was sure that Deng Zhongxiu could not refuse his overture, and gave him a reason why he could not refuse.

He thought to himself, what the doctor said yesterday was right, so what if his son killed their tenant?
A tenant and a servant.

The emperor punished and punished, and he himself showed enough sincerity.

Could it be that Zhang Yi couldn't let him go?

In this world, the essence of human interaction is the exchange of interests.

A person who has no use value is worthless.

Hu Weiyong is confident that his use value is placed in the entire world, at least at the top twenty level.

Then, Zhang Yi will naturally consider which is more important.

Moreover, he was also worried that Zhang Yi's childish nature would be impulsive.

So let's talk about Deng Zhongxiu first.

The matter of Xuanjiao Academy really moved Deng Zhongxiu's heart.The hesitant look on his face fell into Hu Weiyong's eyes.

Hu Weiyong walked over, held Deng Zhongxiu's hand, and said:

"Please also help me go in and say a few good words, I came here with sincerity!

Although my Nizi was at fault, he was punished after all, don't you think? "

Deng Zhongxiu nodded silently, and immediately said:

"Master Hu, my junior brother happens to be making alchemy inside, you wait outside, I'll go see if he's alright?"

After he finished speaking, he pleaded guilty and closed the door.

Although he didn't directly promise himself, Hu Weiyong was in a good mood.

After all, these Taoist priests are not people who have seen the world, and they can persuade him with a few words.

Hu Weiyong actually looked down on Deng Zhongxiu in his heart.

Who is he, a member of the Ministry of Education.

The power in my hands is much stronger than that of a Taoist priest. As long as I throw out the bait, I am not afraid that these people will not take the bait.

……

After Deng Zhongxiu closed the door, he entered the medicine garden from the backyard.

He told Zhang Yi about Hu Weiyong's visit, but Zhang Yi didn't respond, and the others were filled with righteous indignation.

"Master Hu, isn't that shameless? His son beat Uncle Meng to death, and he still wants Brother Zhang to save his son. Zhang Yi, you can't promise him, or I won't play with you in the future..."

Xu Miaoyun yelled at Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi seemed to be out of his mind and ignored him.

"He said, help us win the Xuanjiao Academy?"

Zhang Yi asked Deng Zhongxiu with interest, and Deng Zhongxiu nodded silently.

His reaction made people feel a little chilled, the Xu family girl stared at Zhang Yi blankly, as if meeting him for the first time.

"Zhang Yi, don't you really want to help him? You forgot Uncle Meng, did you forget Meng Yao?"

Seeing him hesitating, the little girl looked at the furry kitten and Zhang Yi.

Seeing Zhang Yi's attitude, Mrs. Li sighed:
"Miss Xu, don't make things difficult for the little landlord!"

She hugged Meng Yao, Meng Yao's eyes were full of tears, but she restrained herself from making a sound.

Li Shi took a deep breath and said:
"The little landlord has done enough for my Lao Meng, and he is also good to my mother and daughter...

But the little landlord has his own considerations, especially since there are thousands of people from Longhu Mountain behind him...

Even if he is dissatisfied with Mr. Hu, he still has to worry about his influence.

No matter what he does, my mother and son are only grateful to the little landlord, and have no resentment..."

After speaking, Li lowered her head and just buried her daughter's head in her arms.

The atmosphere present suddenly became stagnant.

The girl from the Xu family opened her small mouth, but no sound came out.

Although she is smart, she doesn't understand the cruel ways of the world. ,

"Anyway, if you give him medicine today, I won't play with you in the future!"

Xu Miaoyun became angry from embarrassment, stomped her feet, and vented her impotent rage.

"Speaking of which, Pindao really wants to make this deal with him..."

"you……"

Zhang Yi's performance hurt Xu's girl greatly. This guy really intends to date Hu Weiyong?

Zhang Yi turned around and asked Li about the matter solemnly:
"Auntie, do you believe me?"

Li Shi was at a loss, but still nodded firmly.

"What I told you, Pindao has not forgotten!
This time, I just helped you recover a little interest..."

He pretended to be mysterious and confused the people around him.

"The Zhang family... Zhang Yi, you are going to save Young Master Hu, what are you talking about here?"

"You don't really think, I trust Hu Weiyong, do you?"

Zhang Yi gave Xu Miaoyun a look, with an expression that I despise your IQ.

"I know Hu Weiyong better than anyone else, and you told me how he rescued his son...

This guy is a ruthless person and also a vengeful person.

Ever since I let his son be punished, he couldn't let me go. Now that he wants something from me, it's naturally a good word.

But if this Master Hu gains power, I'm afraid I will have a hard time! "

As for Hu Weiyong, Zhang Yi is clear about it. In Zhang Yi's mind, this guy is much more dangerous than Yang Xian...

The difference between Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, and Yang Xian is that even under Zhu Yuanzhang's attention, he is not afraid to use outside tactics.

Xu Da scolded him, so he bribed Xu Da's family to kill Xu Da.

Thinking that Liu Bowen was in danger, he simply poisoned him to death.

A prime minister, using this method, represents that the person's heart is a lunatic.

He doesn't follow the rules at all, even if the literati class themselves have struggled for thousands of years and gradually formed a tacit understanding.

If such a person had a choice, Zhang Yi would not want to offend him, but if he was offended, Zhang Yi would never take any chances.

"Then why are you helping him?"

"Do you really think I'm helping him?"

Zhang Yi corrected the girl from the Xu family and Xu family, and succeeded in attracting everyone's attention.

"I'm torturing him..."

After he finished speaking, he left the vegetable garden and went back to the Taoist temple.

Deng Zhongxiu hurriedly followed.

"You...I hate Taoist priests the most!"

Half of the words, pretending to be mysterious...

She was tickled by Zhang Yi, but she couldn't help but follow her out.

"You hide!"

Zhang Yi closed the door of Daomen and Yaoyuanzi, and asked Xu's girl to hide in the living room.

Xu girl is also a frequent visitor here, she nodded upon hearing this.

He didn't follow, but turned around and went to the alchemy room. After a while, the fire in the alchemy room was also ignited.

"Master Hu, please come in!"

Deng Zhongxiu led Hu Weiyong into the backyard, and Hu Weiyong looked around.

Like anyone who comes here for the first time, he is a little curious about the novelties in the yard.

However, when there was a slight explosion from the direction of the alchemy room, Hu Weiyong saw the person he wanted to see.

Zhang Yi ran out of the alchemy room accompanied by black smoke.

"Junior Brother, this is..."

"It's okay, the pill furnace just exploded!"

Zhang Yi waved his hand, signaling to Deng Zhongxiu not to make a fuss, his eyes naturally fell on Hu Weiyong.

He had already met the legendary prime minister last time, so he had time to look carefully at this time.

Hu Weiyong came here today, wearing a Confucian uniform, as if he wanted to make himself less conspicuous.

And his appearance is really not outstanding.

If Zhang Yi saw him on the street, he would definitely not be able to connect him with the prime minister.

He didn't deliberately show his affection for Hu Weiyong, but let out a heavy snort.

Deng Zhongxiu had been with Zhang Yi for a long time, and the two cooperated very well. He walked over and quietly pulled up his junior brother's sleeves, and Zhang Yi reluctantly walked towards the living room.

A glint of haze flashed in Hu Weiyong's eyes, but he didn't show it.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Entering the living room, Zhang Yi got straight to the point.

When he can take advantage of the child's willfulness, he doesn't need to cater to the other party.

Hu Weiyong naturally wouldn't take Zhang Yi's petty temper to heart, and just smiled:

"Hu Mou wants to invite the real person to see a doctor for my son!"

"Don't go!"

Zhang Yi didn't even want to refuse, Hu Weiyong's face was a bit ugly.

At this time, Deng Zhongxiu pulled his sleeve, and Zhang Yi said:

"Brother, it's useless for you to persuade me. If you don't want to go, I won't go..."

Looking at Deng Zhongxiu's embarrassing eyes, Hu Weiyong knew that there was nothing he could do, so he settled for the next best thing:

"The Taoist priest won't go, and Hu doesn't force it, but I heard that the Taoist priest has antibiotics in his hand. I wonder if I can give Hu some of it?"

Hu Weiyong was afraid that Zhang Yi would refuse, so he hurriedly said:
"Hu also knew that Quanzi did something wrong, but he tried his best to make up for it!

Xiao Daoist, the so-called enemy should be resolved rather than tied, and I also asked the Daoist to look at Hu Mou's face and give Hu Mou some medicine...

Don't worry, Xiao Daoist, Hu will never be stingy with money, and if there is any trouble in Longhushan in the future, Hu will try his best to help! "

After Hu Weiyong finished speaking, Deng Zhongxiu also persuaded, Zhang Yi finally sneered:
"Buy, I can sell you some for brother's sake, but do you have enough money?"

Did Hu Weiyong understand? He took out the only 300 taels of silver at home and put it on the table.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi reluctantly took out three bottles of medicine from his bosom.

It went so smoothly?

Hu Weiyong was stunned when he saw the medicine.

100 taels for a bottle of potion, which is already three times more expensive than the legendary price of three golds sold to Kong Kejian, but for the sake of the child's survival, Hu Weiyong endured it.

Zhang Yi didn't tamper with the medicine, and even gave a medicine-applying utensil with a conscience.

Although the way of using the medicine is very weird, but Hu Weiyong believes that Zhang Yi is not playing tricks.

He took antibiotics and gave it out.

As soon as he left, the girl from the Xu family came out from behind, seeing Zhang Yi counting the money, she was a little angry:
"Why did you sell him the medicine?"

"Because, I want to give him hope..."

Zhang Yi already knew that this girl would ask, so he answered her question with a smile.

"Just follow my heart, I really want to reject him face to face, making her unable to rage, but this won't work, so he won't feel enough pain,

Only when a person feels hopelessness, will he feel heart-piercing."

Zhang Yi's voice was gentle and calm, but Xu's girl felt a little cold for no reason.

Demons are best at deceiving people.

Zhang Yi's smile made her feel a profound coldness.

"Want to know why?"

The next moment, his smile became warmer.
