Chapter 532: So you are a storyteller!
Taoist Xuanqing looked up at the sky, his face full of mixed emotions, as if he was lost in memories. After a long while, he spoke:
“At that time, the Prime Minister was entertaining distinguished guests, and I suddenly barged in, which scared everyone in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
After learning the purpose of my visit, the Prime Minister not only called his daughter over, but also called Wang Ruhai over.
I vaguely remember that when I questioned the prime minister's daughter why she harmed Dongzhu and her son, before the prime minister's daughter opened her mouth, Wang Ruhai stood up and said that he did all this and that he had instructed his servants, and that it had nothing to do with the prime minister's daughter..."
"This beast!"
Wang Lin and Zhang Guihua couldn't help but curse under their breath.
They knew that they had raised a beast who knew the appearance of a person but not his heart. They had worked hard and almost relied on the blood and sweat of their family to barely raise him into a talent.
On the road to the imperial examination, he passed all the tests and even won the third place in the imperial examination. Before he could expect any reward, he sent a letter back from the capital.
Only then did they realize that this was the first time they truly got to know their child—Wang Ruhai!
but.
After listening to Taoist Xuanqing's story, they realized that their guess about Wang Ruhai was too superficial. This beast Wang Ruhai was even more vicious than they had imagined.
They were so angry. Why did they give birth to such a beast?
Liu Dongzhu smiled and said nothing, but if you looked closely, you could still see tears glistening in her eyes.
A long time ago, Wang Ruhai sent back a letter from the capital when she had just given birth. She was almost so angry that she reported to the King of Hell. After a long period of self-cultivation, she thought she had recovered from the blow of this incident, but she heard Taoist Xuanqing mention Wang Ruhai again.
When she mentioned what Wang Ruhai had done, she found that her heart was not completely broken.
but.
She can only be blamed for not expecting that there would be such a vicious man in the world.
"That's a good trick!"
Luo Taiqing looked up and recounted incessantly everything that had happened when he broke into the Prime Minister's Residence, his face full of emotion.
It's not that he admires Taoist Xuanqing for being able to build closer relations with the Wang family with these words. What he cares about is the timing of Taoist Xuanqing's breaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and what he said and did in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If there was even the slightest mistake, I would not only be attacked on the way back, shortening my life by 20 years, but I might even lose my life.
After a long story, Taoist Xuanqing's face was filled with anger that was difficult to conceal. He just repeated what Wang Ruhai did at that time. His mood was like a volcanic eruption. Who made him have never seen a shameless person like Wang Ruhai? He said:
"Finally, Wang Ruhai knelt down before the prime minister and said that he had heard that his parents had held a funeral for him at home.
It was said that he met with an accident on the way to Beijing for the imperial examination and lost his life. Now he is just a person with the same name as him. It was said that his parents did not acknowledge him as their son, so he would have no parents from now on.
He said that if the prime minister didn't mind, he would be his father from now on, and even said that if he wanted, he could change his surname!"
"brute!"
Wang Lin could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body went limp and he was about to fall to the ground. He was supported by Zhang Guihua who reacted in time.
Zhang Guihua panicked and asked, "Old man, are you okay?"
"Brother Wang!"
Taoist Xuanqing was startled. Just when Wang Ping'an was about to secretly give his grandfather a healing spell, Taoist Xuanqing arrived in front of Wang Lin first.
With a thought, a simple little jade bottle appeared in his palm. He opened it, poured out a medicinal pill from it, and stuffed it into Wang Lin's mouth. Wang Lin's pale face gradually recovered.
Taoist Xuanqing said apologetically: "Brother Wang, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said this in front of you!"
"It's not your fault, Taoist priest. It's not your fault. It's our family. It's our retribution for having such a beast. It caused you, Taoist priest, to stand up for our family and lose twenty years of your life!"
Before Wang Lin could finish his words, he burst into tears. His miserable appearance made people feel extremely distressed.
"My father, Chen Shimei, was born to be an official!"
Wang Pingan sneered secretly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and said:
"From now on, you go your way and I go mine. If you dare to bring harm to our family, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son!"
In his previous life, he got to know many villains through movies and TV shows. There were villains like his father, but they were rare.
However, those who could achieve what his father did were all able to rise to high positions, but deep down, he had no intention of making friends with them or taking advantage of the father-son relationship.
People like his father have become puppets of power. They can do anything to get ahead. Not to mention father and son, they can even abandon their own parents.
Furthermore.
With his abilities, if he wants to get ahead, why does he need to rely on this kind of Chen Shimei power?
"Master Xuanqing, that Wang Tanhua is the top scholar of this year's imperial examination. How could he do such a thing?"
Luo Taiqing exclaimed, and seeing Taoist Xuanqing looking over, he was worried that Taoist Xuanqing would misunderstand that he was looking for trouble, so he spoke first to explain:
"As officials, they want to have a good reputation. If he does this, isn't he afraid that it will get out and affect his career?"
Even though officials are worse than beasts and have done a lot of bad things, they are better at disguising themselves than anyone else. If they couldn't disguise themselves, they wouldn't be able to become officials and get to high positions.
"Do you think what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be spread out?"
Taoist Xuanqing smiled. He didn't want to continue this topic. Wang Ruhai's actions made him feel very disgusted. Even if the old things were brought up again, he was still full of anger towards Wang Ruhai. He changed the topic:
"So, Mr. Luo, do you still think that Wang Ruhai secretly used Luo Quan's name to send treasures to the Wang family?"
Wang Ruhai.
He had seen it more than once before, and he used to hope that a scholar like Wang Ruhai would know at a glance that a golden fish should not be kept in a pond.
Never thought.
Wang Ruhai will become such a person!
Luo Taiqing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.
Taoist Priest Xuanqing had a talent for storytelling, and he described what happened when he broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion vividly, making outsiders like them feel as if they were there and witnessed what Wang Ruhai did with their own eyes.
Luo Taiqing Road:
"Master Xuanqing, I was wrong. This kind of thing is not something that Wang Tanhua could do. It is very likely that it was done by the great swordsman Dong Qing, just as you said!"
