Chapter 102 Bixia Yuanjun
Fang An said, "Xue Zhen, please get out of here quickly. My master has something to do and wants to leave the city. If it is delayed, will you take responsibility?"
"I'm sorry, Manager Fang Da. I can't take responsibility for unfair things in this world, but I can't take responsibility for anything else." As Xue Zhen bowed to the direction of the car behind the car, he looked scoundrel and shouted, "I'm sorry, Master Chief, I'm Xue Zhen, I'm going to delay the important matters of Master Chief Chief. But recently, the assassination of the Duke of the Kingdom happened in Beijing. The yamen issued an order to strictly investigate passers-by. I, Xue Zhen, dare not refuse to obey."
Although Fang An was in his heart, there were probably not many people who dared to investigate the throne of the Ming Dynasty. Today he met him. If he had been good on weekdays, he happened to catch up with Fang Congzhe. If the people in the car were really investigated by Xue Zhen, even if Fang An was tough and resisted everything himself, Fang Congzhe's reputation might be bad. After all, a case is to be confirmed and there is no need for rumors.
Seeing Xue Zhen's obvious look of finding fault, Fang An gritted his teeth and said, "Xue Zhen, don't bully people too much. Our master is polite to you. All hatreds arise because of me and have nothing to do with my master. My young master was murdered by a villain. My master was seriously ill. Today is to go out of the city to seek medical treatment. If the master's illness is delayed, we can live without any face. Can you Xue Zhen be able to live with your conscience?"
Xue Zhen said in a hurry, "Oh? It turns out that it is Fang Shougong who is sick? No wonder Xue Zhen stopped the car here for a long time but didn't see Fang Shougong scolding him. But he was so sick that he couldn't speak. Why is Fang Da still so impatient when he drove a car? He heard that Fang Da's management was so majestic in the downtown area of Fang's management, why is it so gentle today? It seems that if he changed to a car driving job, his skills were ordinary. I heard that when your young master was imprisoned, Fang Da's management was extremely capable of coercion and temptation, and his methods were very sharp."
Fang An softened his breath and said, "The grudge between you and me is just because of my young master. My young master has passed away now, why don't you let it go? Now my master continues to leave the city. Don't bother me. When I send my master to seek medical treatment, I will kill you and kill you."
Xue Zhen walked towards the carriage and said, "What is the saying of Manager Fang Da? The so-called man is doing things and God is watching. The law of heaven is clear, and retribution is unhappy. Those who do evil will receive their own revenge. I, Xue Zhen, are the ones who avenge private revenge? Today, Xue was just ordered to check the passers-by. Fang, Fang, and Xue Zhen, I, Xue Zhen, are here."
As he spoke, Xue Zhen had already walked to the front of the carriage and reached out to lift the curtain. Fang An reached out and grabbed Xue Zhen's wrist and said, "My master's condition cannot bear the wind. If Lord Xue insists on lifting the curtain to investigate, step over Fang An's body first."
When Guo Lai and the other two in the carriage heard that someone blocked the road to investigate, they knew that something was wrong. Just as Xue Zhen was slowly approaching, the two of them had already drawn their swords. Once someone lifted the curtain, they would kill someone and run away.
After hearing Fang An's words, Xue Zhen stopped his movements and said, "Where is Manager Fang Da? I'll step over you and do what I'll do? It's just that Xue is in charge of official business, so I'll ask Manager Fang Da to give in."
Fang An said excitedly, "We Fang An has no grudges with you, but because my young master offended you, you took personal revenge. What else did you say is not a public revenge? You, Xue Zhen, said, "You are not avenging your private revenge. Can't you see the huge square word on this carriage? You know that my master is seriously ill and is recuperating in the carriage, but you still want to go into the carriage to investigate. If you say that you didn't take the opportunity to humiliate my master, you may not even believe it. Could it be that you can't see that my master is sick and can't even say anything? Otherwise, how could you allow you to be so arrogant? The master is humiliating and the minister dies. If you insist on bullying our master and servant today, you can just kill me with one knife." As he said that, Fang An started to steal the sword from Xue Zhen's waist.
Seeing Fang An looking crazy, Xue Zhen didn't dare to let him steal the sword. While dodging, he said, "Fang An, you are bold, you are interfering with my official duties. Do you believe it or not, I will take you down now."
Fang An approached Xue Zhen like a shrew, and snatched her while taking action. Xue Zhen only cared about protecting the sword, but she wanted to make this crazy Fang An scratch a few blood marks on her face.
Xue Zhen protected her face with one hand and said, "Fang An, if you believe this again, I will really make people arrest you."
Fang An said unyieldingly, "Come on, let someone arrest me, so that everyone in the world can see what the face of the Censor Xue, who is known as fair and selfless, has a look. If my master has something to do, Fang An will not redeem it. I don't even want my life, are you still afraid that you will arrest me?"
Xue Zhen finally couldn't stand Fang An's crazy look, so she cursed at a group of soldiers watching the fun, "Are you all dead? Why don't you come and pull him away?"
After hearing Xue Zhen's words, the people next to him rushed forward and pulled Fang An away. Fang An was pulled away with his arms, and his feet were still tapping on him, shouting, "Xue Zhen, if you dare to bully my master, Fang An will not let you go even if we are a ghost."
After Fang An was pulled away, Xue Zhen finally felt relieved. He sorted out his clothes and hair and said, "Okay, I have never seen you rolling around before. Since the situation is special today, I won't investigate you." After that, Xue Zhen said to the two people who held Fang An, "Let him go."
The two of them let go of Fang An, but were afraid that he would suddenly go crazy again, so they still looked at Fang An with fear.
When Fang An heard that he stopped investigating, he immediately took the look of a shrew and said to Xue Zhen, "You have some conscience." Then he tidied up his collar, returned to his former appearance and sat back on the frame.
Xue Zhen waved to the soldiers who were blocking Fang An's carriage and said, "Let him go."
It was not until the soldiers blocking the road that Fang An finally felt relieved after a long time of fear.
Fang An waved the rattan that drove the car with his right hand and shouted "Driving". The carriage immediately ran out and headed straight for Qihua Gate. There was no way An's calm look that came from when he was slow.
After these twists and turns, Fang An did not dare to relax even after leaving the city gate. He headed east without slowing down.
It was not until the time when we were about to reach the Niangniang Temple that more and more people were on the road, and Fang An slowed down the speed of the carriage slightly.
The Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang Temple on the east top is also called the Xinggong Temple. Because there is an old elm tree from the Yongle period next to the temple, people in Shunyi and Tongzhou also call this temple the "Lonely Eelm Temple".
Bixia Yuanjun is a legendary figure in Taoism. According to legend, the daughter of Emperor Dongyue of Taishan. When Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty was honored as "the jade girl of the heavenly immortals, Bixia Yuanjun" when he was in charge of Mount Tai. Legend has it that when King Wen of Zhou dreamed of a woman crying in the way. He asked why, saying that Guantan Taigong is virtuous. A woman must have strong winds and rains when she returns home. It will damage her virtue, so she dare not pass. Since this woman is the queen of Bixia Yuanjun. Because of many such legends, the people think that Queen Bixia Yuanjun is kind-hearted and can protect the country and the people, ensure good weather and good weather, and the people are safe, so they worship it.
Because Taoism was highly respected during the Jiajing period, there were countless large and small temples in the Bixia Yuanjun, both inside and outside the capital, and the Wuding Yuanjun Temple in the southeast, west, northwest, and middle.
The temples inside and outside the city are different. Most of the temples in the city are places for incense, while the temples outside the city are places for spring outings and temples. Only the Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang Temple on the east top is the most special. Not only are there many people exploring and trading here, but there are also countless devout pilgrims coming to burn incense and pray for blessings. The nearest ones are inside and outside the capital, and the far ones are from Sanhe and Jixian to burn incense and pray for blessings.
When they were about to arrive at the Niangniang Temple, the carriage and horses were already unable to move forward. Fang An greeted Guo Lai and the others out of the carriage, put them here, and then turned the front of the carriage and left.
There were many merchants in the Niangniang Temple, and many people came and went, carrying a lot of things on their hands. In this way, Guo Lai and the other men who were carrying things on their backs did not seem abrupt.
On the way back after Fang An put down Guo Lai and the other two, the carriage returned to a slow and leisurely state. Needless to think about it, the city censor Xue Zhen must have been waiting for him to come back. Even if he said that he was going out of the city to find a doctor for his master, he would naturally not be able to get better in a short while. So, the carriage that had been half an hour had been driving for two hours before returning to outside Qihua Gate.
Fang An rushed into the city gate after a few steps in the carriage. When he looked around, he saw that there was no Xue Zhen's figure, which surprised him. He thought Xue Zhen would wait for him to come back and make a lot of trouble. It seemed that Xue Zhen really had a fair and selfless taste. He judged the gentleman with the heart of a villain.
No longer thinking about Xue Zhen, Fang An focused on driving forward in the carriage and tried to return to the mansion as early as possible to avoid any more trouble.
After only less than ten feet away, Fang An saw a man riding a tall horse next to the carriage. He looked carefully and saw who wasn't Xue Zhen?
When Xue Zhen caught up, he grinned at Fang An and said, "Sir, Manager Fang Da, are you okay?"
Fang An thought that he really should slap himself, and he would naively regard this person as a fair and selfless person.
This time Xue Zhen came alone on horseback, and there were no soldiers blocking the road ahead. Fang An did not look back or looked back. He drove the carriage forward, but said, "It seems that I really look down on you."
The scope of Xue Zhen’s visit to the city is this Dongcheng. When he has nothing to do, he naturally wants to find something to pass the time. The most suitable candidate is Fang An.
Before, when Fang An was released from the city, Xue Zhen felt something was wrong. There were many good doctors, famous doctors and even imperial doctors in the city. Why did Fang Congzhe go to seek medical treatment outside the city? Moreover, he has never heard of any good doctors outside the city for so many years in the capital.
But the person had been let go, and Xue Zhen wanted to find the shadow of the carriage that could no longer be seen. So Xue Zhen was waiting for him to come back there, but after more than an hour, he didn't see Fang An. He had nothing to do with him, so he found a tea stall to chat with the mate. At this time, there would be no customers coming to the tea stall at all, and the mate was happy to pass the time with him.
While chatting with his friend, Xue Zhen paid attention to the direction of the city gate from time to time. He did not leave the tea stall until he saw Fang An driving a carriage into the city and looking around.
When Xue Zhen heard Fang An’s sarcasm, he didn’t care and asked directly, “I wonder where is the manager Fang taking your master to seek medical treatment?”
When Xue Zhen asked this in a living room, Fang An thought that he might have seen something, but there was no evidence at this time, so Fang An was not afraid. He replied, "Why are there people in Mr. Xue's family almost dying of illness? Then I can recommend it to Mr. Xue."
Xue Zhen heard that Fang An was not swearing people, but he didn't care about these little benefits, so he said, "That's what I need to give to Manager Fang."
Seeing that Xue Zhen was entangled in this issue, Fang An teased and said, "There is a good witch doctor in Dongding Niangniang Temple. Except for the ones that were cured, everything else has been cured."
Xue Zhen smiled and said, "Stately, Manager Fang is loyal. As expected, Master Fang is critically ill. It is really difficult for you to find such a good doctor who can cure and save people for your master."
Fang An stopped the carriage and said with a "whistle" sound, and said to Xue Zhen, who had been following him, "Sir Xue, don't go to patrol the city, why are you here to follow me, a small manager? But Mr. Xue still needs to investigate? Then please." Fang An said and put his body aside.
