Chapter 90
Zuo Dechang felt that, as an old member of Marquis Dingbian in his early years, if he never got involved with the officialdom, he might be able to live in peace, but if he did, he would definitely be labeled as Marquis of Dingbian. Even if he doesn't help Lord Hou, no one will believe his innocence, but how can they get on the line with the officials, you know, it is difficult to mix without an official protecting the Jianghu.

Sighing deeply, Zuo Dechang thanked the old abbot: "It's thanks to you, otherwise I would have to fight for the fourth prince." My father is a close friend, so I have given a lot of advice to the prince and grandson of Lao Dingbian Hou. Today, he was able to refuse the fourth prince's job of enlisting him as the leader of the Jiangnan dark guards, but thanks to the abbot, he said He has other uses, but Mingzhu cast a dark shadow, which dissuaded the fourth prince's thoughts.

Doesn't the old abbot not know what he meant by this, and he didn't say that people have different relatives, he must be closer to Zuo Dechang's master and apprentice than the Fourth Prince, so he just smiled and waved his hands and said: "Actually, you are wrong. , I'm not lying today, you really don't need to stay in the dark, the fourth prince's financial resources in the future will depend on you, if you grab the power with one hand and the wealth with the other, it's not good for you or him, That's why I stopped."

What is this nonsense?Zuo Dechang was confused when he heard this, he believed that the old abbot had helped him in this matter, and he also knew that once he became a monk, he would never say such affirmative words easily, so he asked unconsciously: "Master abbot, what is this?" What do you mean? My escort agency can certainly earn a few silver coins, but it’s not as exaggerated as you said. Helping the fourth prince’s wealth is not a joke. If it can be opened, if it can’t fill in a corner of someone else’s hole, it will be trampled flat.”

"Hahaha..., look, I'm afraid of you, kid. I don't know where your ability comes from. Although it doesn't show up now, judging from the hexagrams between you and the fourth prince, this matter is really similar. Of course, if you don't want to If you get rich, then cast it in a dark place and help the Fourth Prince manage the dark place in the south of the Yangtze River, this is actually not difficult for you to do, after all, you have done it in the army." The old abbot glanced funny Zuo Dechang said helplessly.

The words of the old abbot reminded Zuo Dechang. For a moment, he thought that with Marquis Dingbian around, he must know the old fourth prince in the army well, and he could understand why the fourth prince insisted on holding on to him. Alas, if I blindly shirk, fearing that no matter how well I do in the future, in the eyes of the higher-ups, I will still be ignorant of good and bad. Today is really lucky to have the old abbot.

Thinking about it this way, Zuo Dechang couldn't feel the cold sweat, and solemnly bowed his hands to the abbot, and said with a wry smile: "Now it seems that I have committed a crime, and I don't know how it will end in the future. I will return from the army After all these years, I am used to living a stable life, but I am really not used to entering the officialdom again, not to mention how difficult it is for this general!"

"When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit is dead, and the running dogs are cooked." 'This sentence is not a simple one. Although he is not a bloodthirsty character nowadays, he will never rest assured of the border generals with high achievements. Isn't Dingbian Marquis an example, but Dingbian Marquis has different identities. Even if he didn't make great contributions at the border, he would still be taboo today. After all, he is the queen's brother and the fourth prince's uncle. It is also necessary to be on guard, he is still in the prime of life.

Both Zuo Dechang and the abbot both understood what was going on here, and they didn't realize that there was something wrong with the emperor's actions. No one was on guard. The old man who is a commoner has some family background and he still has to guard against his son. Not to mention the royal family, besides, isn't the fourth prince preparing to become the emperor in the future and working hard?

The old abbot knew Zuo Dechang's suffering and reluctance, so he tried every means to make the fourth prince feel that Zuo Dechang would be more valuable if he helped him make money in the future. He admitted that he helped Zuo Dechang solve a big problem. Seeing him now Still showing a reluctance, he snorted coldly: "Okay, what are you talking about? Didn't I find a way out for you? With this way out, what are you afraid of? And what are you going to do in the future?" Wouldn't it be better to have the Fourth Prince backing you up, not only do you not have to walk around in the official position, but you can also get rid of the drudgery of the head of the secret guard, how wonderful it is."

Zuo Dechang is actually not willing to get involved with the royal family at all. When the country is in crisis and against foreign humiliation, these hot-blooded men should stand up. Staying at home is the best way to retreat. Have you seen what happened to those military generals in the previous dynasty? Although this dynasty will not suppress the generals like the previous dynasty, it still needs to be checked and balanced. Instead of being wronged in the future, it is better to be in advance let go.

Hearing what the old abbot said, Zuo Dechang gave the old man a funny look, and said with a snort, "If you say you can help, you can help me. Why do you bother me with such a thing? You say I am like this!" Is it material for doing business? If the Fourth Prince asks me for money in the future, who do you think I will go to? Besides, even if I have that kind of ability, the pocket of the prince's money is so easy to take. If it is wiped out, there is nothing to mess with, and it cannot be more difficult than the hidden guards who rely on force to control Jiangnan."

The old abbot was not angry when he heard this, he poured Zuo Dechang a cup of fresh tea just replaced by Mi Pei with a smile, and said gently: "What are you worried about? Since I said that, I must be sure, even though I am now I still don't know how you can become the fourth prince's money bag in the future, but that's how it appears on the hexagram, don't you believe my hexagram? Not only that, I also tested your kid's marriage, do you believe it or not? "

When Zuo Dechang heard this, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he felt a little embarrassed, and said uncomfortably: "Your old man is really free. How many people in Beijing are begging you to do a fortune-telling test?" You don’t even want to say a word, but it’s very generous to me, and I’d like to talk to my master later, you are so free, and letting the old man bother you for a few days can be considered as a solution to the loneliness of both of you.”

"Well, please don't, your master can't stay still. I'm very lonely here. It's not suitable for him to come. Without him, my head hurts like hell. He can't sit still for a moment. Either go to the mountain stream behind to look for fish, or go to the valley to find medicine, and then go to the top of the mountain to see some scenery when you are happy. Do you think your master is the one who looks at the scenery? I'm going to practice meditation, you'd better let my old man take a good look at the Buddha." Hearing that his old friend was about to be recruited, even the old abbot Wannian Gujing's heart trembled a few times.

Knowing that master is a sharp weapon against the old abbot, Zuo Dechang smiled disapprovingly. In fact, his master has been getting along well with the horses in the horse farm of Mabenzhuang during this time, and there is also the old man of the Bai family and his master there. Dao Lehe, he would not come to Beijing, but seeing the old abbot always tossing people in such a mysterious way, he stabbed the old abbot.

Seeing that the old abbot was showing timidity and that he still had business to do, Zuo Dechang stopped talking about the topic, coughed lightly and said: "Since the master abbot said so, then I will not let the master bother me for now. "

Who is the old abbot? Just now, when he heard that his old friend was coming, he was a little taken aback. The old abbot thought he hadn't seen the second one before, so he was a little surprised. Dechang was caught in it, and seeing him say that again now, he knew that he had something to ask for, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at a smiling kid, and said angrily: "You have something to do Just say, there is no need to ambush me, be careful that your master is really here, I want to talk to him about your kid's little thoughts, and see if he torments me or you."

Zuo Dechang was also afraid of his master, when he heard this, he had to lick his face and sneer twice, and then begged for mercy: "Don't, don't, master, please don't tell my master that I use him as a cover, his old man Today's fists are not worse than in the past. I was caught by his old man, and some of them were fisted. I really have something to discuss with you, and it's not about an errand. After all, you said that you have money. What about seeking, now there is an extremely important matter in front of my eyes, and I want to ask you to come forward, of course, this matter is also beneficial to you."

"Oh? This also involves the old monk, okay, tell me, I want to listen carefully, how can I be involved, if you can't be involved, boy, you can wait for me." After finishing speaking, the old abbot was very He squinted at Zuo Dechang, just to see what he said.

In fact, what Zuo Dechang wants to say, the old abbot has some idea in his heart, this Guangyuan Temple is not in vain, what's more, it happened outside his plum forest, there are many people here every day to see the flowers and look for the branches They went there, and they were all named. If the defense was improper and the nobles were attacked, Guangyuan Temple would be criticized, and it was not good for the incense. The reason why he never asked Zuo Xiaozi, It's just trust.

Zuo Dechang knew the old abbot's tricks to some extent. This Guangyuan Temple is also home to long dragons and crouching tigers. There are many martial monks with high kung fu. There are often female relatives coming and going in the plum forest in the back mountain. There must be proper monks to watch over here. , to prevent some male pilgrims who don't have eyesight from running to this plum forest to scare the female relatives, but monks generally don't get involved in other people's private affairs, as long as no one dies, the rest is fine with the temple, this is why he knows the old lady of Niufu One of the reasons why he had to take action when he wanted to plot against Qi Luo.

Seeing the old abbot's knowing expression, Zuo Dechang didn't feel uncomfortable. Anyway, he had a lot of conversations and answers for a while, so maybe the old abbot had to thank him in turn. Who made this happen in Guangzhou? Moreover, Yuan Temple is still in the plum grove that the old abbot Qingxiu, what's more, he knows that the old abbot will not ignore him.

Then, under the pressure of the old abbot, Zuo Dechang calmed down, picked up the teacup, took a sip, secretly praised 'good tea', and then said: "It's really not a kid who lied to you, what happened today Given your supernatural powers, you already knew a little bit about it, so what kind of momentum do you see in the Niu Mansion?"
