General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 57
The sudden death of Tao Zhongwen, an extremely human minister, did not cause any ripples in the court.

All the old foxes in the court knew that this was just an abandoned son who fulfilled his mission in a more dignified way.

Those who survived still need to finish the game of chess.

Apart from Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin, who had some contact with the Tao family on weekdays, only Duke Cheng Zhu Xizhong cried the most.

"Old brother! Why did you just glance at Junior Brother and I left by myself! Open your eyes and look at me!"

Standing behind Zhu Xizhong, Gao Zhong patted Zhu Xizhong's back to persuade him, "Cheng Gong, don't feel bad. The old god is 73 this year, so it's a joyous mourning."

Zhu Xizhong cried with snot and tears, and slapped Tao Zhongwen's coffin with "bang" and "bang".

"Before you leave, point out some noble people to me. If I have something to do in the future, who can I turn to?"

Above the temple, apart from Jiajing, Zhu Xizhong believed in Tao Zhongwen's alchemy the most.

With Tao Zhongwen's departure, Zhu Xizhong's spiritual pillar completely collapsed.

Gao Zhong looked helplessly at Zhu Xizhong and advised:
"Chenggong, stop taking pictures. If Tao Shenxian really gets up and tells you a fortune, will you listen or not?"

Zhu Xizhong's hand hanging in the mid-air of the coffin board was still in place, and he burst into tears.

"Old Immortal, you have a good journey~! Xizhong will not send it off!"

From the moment Tao Zhongwen's coffin came out of Zhengyang Gate and arrived at the water transport wharf and went south, it marked that the capital no longer had such a person, but the people on the wharf did not know the course of the giant ship of Ming Dynasty. Having turned the rudder, every day they live from now on will be a truly new day.

Naturally, Zhu Xizhong and Gao Zhong did not actually send the coffin to the Water Transport Wharf.

After the funeral procession left Zhengyang Gate, the two turned back, but Zhu Xizhong seemed to have lost his soul until they walked outside Ning Jue's house.

The end of the year was approaching, and the streets of the capital became more and more lively. In addition to the merchants from the south of the Yangtze River, some soldiers from the towns on the nine sides came to the Ministry of War to survey and record the gains of the generals of the previous year to receive awards.

Zhu Xizhong pulled the reins abruptly.

"No! Eunuch Gao, we can no longer be fools!"

Before Gao Zhong could heave a sigh of relief, Zhu Xizhong went to Ning Jue's house, got off his horse and knocked on the door of Ning Jue's house.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Hearing his own door being knocked loudly.

Ning Jue rubbed her eyes resentfully and opened the door.

"Brother Ning Xian! It's me! I'm Xizhong!"

In the past few days, Ning Jue couldn't help but tremble when he heard Zhu Xizhong's name.

This guy broke his own business again and again.

Why is there no end!
Ning Jue angrily opened the street door, and Zhu Xizhong walked into the house.

"Brother Ning Xian! Immortal Tao is gone!"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Xizhong burst into tears.

"The old god didn't leave me a word, from now on I'll only have you!"

Zhu Xizhong's crying echoed in Ning Jue's home.

Ning Jue glanced at Gao Zhong who was beside Zhu Xizhong.

Gao Zhong's face was also full of helplessness.

Listening to Zhu Xizhong's cry, Ning Jue almost burst into tears.

Tao Zhongwen, you old man, just leave like this? !

From now on, this fellow will not rush to annoy me to death!

Looking at Zhu Xizhong, who was deeply poisoned by feudal superstition, Ning Jue had an idea as soon as he rolled his eyes.

"Well, Chenggong, how about I do the math for you too?"

Zhu Xizhong's crying stopped abruptly, and he looked at Ning Jue in disbelief, even Gao Zhong's eyes widened.

The imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty did not test this stuff, did they?

"Brother Ning Xian, you will also count?"

Ning Jue nodded slightly.

"I know a little bit."

Zhu Xizhongmei's snot bubbles almost popped out.

Xiao Mian also said that you are not my nobleman!
This is why I was forced out!

"Brother Ning Xian said it earlier! You should quickly calculate it for me!"

Ning Jue showed embarrassment.

"It's just that I don't have a magic weapon here..."

"It's even worse, it's on both of us. Just tell me, and I'll go and get rid of it for you." Zhu Xizhong directly patted his chest and assured Ning Jue, pulling Gao Zhong and ran towards the door .

Soon, Zhu Xizhong found a whip and a drum according to Ning Jue's instructions. Looking at these two simple magic weapons in Ning Jue's hands, Zhu Xizhong couldn't help being puzzled.

"This... my dear brother, can you do this? I see the old god."

Ning Jue didn't even bat an eyelid, and said leisurely

"This is called water is not deep, sincerity is spirit."

Zhu Xizhong murmured with some doubts: "Is that what you said?"

"Why do you care so much? Just take it as my master said."

"My virtuous brother, master is...?"

Ning Jue's complexion darkened, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly said: "My master's surname is Duan, and he hides poverty in the world."

"Duan Shipin... Could it be that he is the descendant of the Dali Duan family?"

"Why do you talk so much, the world is poor, you belong to the beggar gang!"

Seeing that Ning Jue was unhappy, Zhu Xizhong didn't dare to make a sound.

Ning Jue seemed to have made up his mind, if he didn't get rid of Zhu Xizhong, he didn't know how much trouble he would cause himself.

Up to now, we can only fight poison with poison.

I saw Ning Jue twitching her hair, undoing her pockets, holding a drum in her left hand and a whip in her right hand. At first, she knocked twice, Ning Jue was still a little shy, but when Ning Jue tried to open her eyes, she found that her face had been covered. After the scattered hair is covered, the self is gradually released.

"It's sunset and it's dark on the western mountain. Every household locks the door. Nine out of ten fellow Taoists have locks. Only one door is left open... Burning incense and beating drums, I invite the gods..."

Listening to Ning Jue's "reciting words", Zhu Xizhong's expression became extremely devout.

"Eunuch Gao, Brother Ning Xian has something."

"How did Cheng Gong see it?"

"You read it better than Immortal Tao."

Gao Zhong was speechless, and Ning Jue, with disheveled hair, had already lost his way. He jumped onto the street without knowing it.

On the contrary, it was this crazy picture that really bluffed Gao Zhong.

Could it be that Ning Bingxian really has something?

"I want my Hu family to come, I want my Huang family to come, my Huang family should come, the Hu and Huang families don't stop, don't forget the old fairy family, bring the treasures in the mountains~!"

Ning Jue beat the drum for a while, and quite a few people gathered around.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ning Jue tilted his head forward and let out a loud shout.

"coming!"

Zhu Xizhong and Gao Zhong's bodies were both straight, Zhu Xizhong's teeth were chattering constantly, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.

"What, what's here, Brother Ning?"

Ning Jue pointed at Zhu Xizhong at himself, and his voice became sharper.

"I'm not Ning Jue anymore!"

Zhu Xizhong had never seen this scene before, seeing Ning Jue's appearance, his voice trembled a little.

"No, then who are you?"

The corner of Ning Jue's mouth twitched slightly.

"You don't care who I am and what I do!"

After finishing speaking, Ning Jue pointed at Zhu Xizhong.

"Listen, he is not your nobleman!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xizhong froze in place, his lips and teeth moved up and down, and finally said those three words firmly.

"I don't believe it!"

"Taiyi Tianzun is bigger than you, Ye Xianer! Brother Ning Xian is definitely my nobleman!"

Ning Jue almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

I'm already like this, you tell me you don't believe me? !

At least before the Chinese New Year, can you calm down a bit? !

Seeing that one plan failed, Ning Jue hastily changed his plan and pointed forward angrily.

"You are about to face disaster!"

Hearing what Ning Jue said, Zhu Xizhong became nervous again.

"What's the big deal?"

It's just that at this time, among the people watching the excitement around, a hale and small old man watched Zhu Xizhong blurt out.

"Little Zhu?"

Zhu Xizhong turned around suspiciously, and when he saw the little old man's face clearly, Zhu Xizhong's screams like killing a pig echoed in the street.
