Chapter 20 Zhu Hu
There is a Qingyun Temple in the north of the capital, which is one of the best Taoist temples in the capital!
The former master of the Guanzhu, Zhenren Pingwu, was a master of enlightenment. He was practicing on Mount Zhongnan, just in time to catch up with the emperor Fengwen who was in power at that time. After hearing about his reputation, he sent someone to invite him down the mountain and come to the capital to preach to him.
Zhenren Pingwu lived in the deep mountains for a long time and could not get used to the magnificent palace. Emperor Fengwen ordered the Minister of Works to build a Taoist temple for him on the mountain of the northern city, named Qingyun Temple.
When Emperor Fengwen was reigned, because he advocated Taoism and followed the superiors and inferiors, the ministers in the court and the people in the market also began to advocate Taoism. Therefore, Qingyun Temple also became the place where the incense was prosperous in the capital.
Later, Emperor Fengwen died, and the current emperor Jingkang succeeded to the throne. Emperor Jingkang was not in touch with Taoism. In addition, the respected true man Pingwu also passed away. His disciple Taoist Master Nanyun took over as the master. Taoist Master Nanyun did not have the prestige of his master, and Qingyun Temple gradually declined.
When Qingyun Temple was at its peak, countless believers were built around the Taoist temple in order to get closer to Qingyun Temple. Over time, a residential area was formed near Qingyun Temple.
And this Qingyun Temple has become a landmark in this residential area. When someone asks where you live, the person asked will answer that I live in Qingyun Temple.
It was already past Wu's hour (9 o'clock in the evening), Zhu Biao was half drunk and walked into an alley east of Qingyun Temple.
With the moonlight, Zhu Biao walked to the third door, clenched his fists, and smashed the door with a bang.
"Here, come, who? It's big night!"
After a while, a female voice rang out, and a woman dressed in a cotton jacket opened the door.
"Yeah, it's his second uncle who is back, come in quickly." The woman saw Zhu Biao outside the door and quickly pulled him in.
The two of them walked into the yard. The yard was not big and the main room was still dark. Only the lights in the wing room next to it were on, so the woman should have come out of the wing room.
"Wife, who?"
At this time, a thick and bold voice came from the wing room.
"The head of the family is the second uncle who is back!" the woman replied.
Scream
The door of the wing room opened, and a big man walked out of the room. He was in his early thirties, two meters tall, very majestic and burly, with a beard on his face, and stood in the snow in a single dress. The cold wind blew without any shaking.
"Second, why are you back?"
The big man rushed over a few steps and saw that Zhu Biao was a little drunk. He held him in his hand. Zhu Biao's figure was quite strong, but in the big man's hand it looked like a doll.
"Brother, is Dad asleep?" Zhu Biao smiled at the big man. This big man was no one else, but Zhu Biao's big brother, Zhu Hu, the number one executioner in the capital!
"Well, my dad is sleeping early, don't stand outside. Let's go to the house, wife, go get some hot water for the second child." Zhu Hu grabbed Zhu Biao and pulled it into the house, turned around and gave the woman an order.
"Why!"
The woman agreed and went to the kitchen to boil water in her clothes.
Zhu Hu pulled Zhu Biao into the wing room. The wing room was not very big, only more than twenty square meters. There was a round table with teacups and teapots on it. Inside the round table was a dressing table. Inside it, there was a kang pavilion that was much larger than the ordinary earthen kang. The earthen kang was made of bluestone bricks and was very sturdy. There was a cabinet next to the earthen kang, and a large red box was stacked on it. The whole room was simply and warmly arranged.
Zhu Hu put Zhu Biao on the kang, and the earthen kang was burned warmly, so Zhu Biao quickly calmed down.
"Second, why are you back today? You're still drunk? Didn't you say you've found a manager at the big shop on Zishi Street? Why are you bullied?"
When Zhu Hu thought that his younger brother might have been bullied, he suddenly became murderous. After being an executioner for a long time, he was covered in life on his hands every day, which caused Zhu Hu to have a very strong evil aura. When he got angry, the timid person could scare him down.
"Oh, brother, that's my brother who lied to you and made you feel relieved. You don't even want to be a clerk for your brother, and you can still do things in charge." Zhu Biao smiled self-deprecatingly and stopped the angry elder brother.
"Oh, when my father stepped down, you should have the shortage of the yamen. Even if you can't be an executioner, you can still make a living in the yamen."
After so many years, Zhu Hu is still worried about his father Zhu Laojiu’s decision back then!
Zhu Hu grew taller than other children since he was a child, and later became a master. He had high martial arts skills and natural divine power. He could beat twenty or thirty gangsters to run away when he was a teenager, so he didn't have to worry about life. The yamen errand left by Zhu Lao Er was dispensable to him.
However, in order for his son to be undefeated, Zhu Laojiu forced his eldest son to work as a job. Zhu Hu did not disappoint his father's high hopes. In just a few years, he became the number one executioner in the capital and was known as the evil tiger.
Zhu Hu was doing well in the yamen and had a mailing number in front of the adults of the Ministry of Justice, but Zhu Biao was not as casual as his brother. Zhu Biao was a man with some cleverness and some vision, but he had no ability and was lying on the street all day long.
Zhu Hu was always impressed by his eyes and was anxious. He was nearly ten years older than Zhu Biao. The two brothers had a very good relationship. Some time ago, Zhu Biao came back and said that he had found a job in charge. He was very happy. He told his wife that the second child had finally stabilized and thought about seeing Zhu Biao's wife. Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao deliberately lied to him to make him feel at ease.
"Forget it, brother, with my courage, I can't even hold the knife. How can I go to the execution ground to behead my head?" Zhu Biao waved his hand quickly, he didn't dare to kill anyone.
"Hey, second brother, to be honest, if you really find an errand in the yamen, will you do it?"
Zhu Hu suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he had made some decision, and said to Zhu Biao.
"Of course, it's a fool if you don't. Brother, what's your way?"
When Zhu Biao heard that Zhu Hu could arrange for him to go to the yamen, his eyes suddenly shone. He could go to the yamen to work as a gangster. Who would like to be a gangster? Every day, people would think that dogs are smelly. Even if they listen to a book, they would not look down on you.
Zhu Biao remembered Ma Jin's tricks in the morning and ran away in a panic with him. When he ran away in a panic, a burst of anger surged in his heart.
"Your brother has no way. You don't know how popular the errands in the capital yamen are. Even a guardian has a lot of people staring at him. Without a seventh-rank official position, he doesn't even dare to call him. Your brother, an executioner with no grade, has no ability." Zhu Hu looked at his younger brother with anticipation and smiled bitterly.
"What did you mean by that brother?"
Zhu Biao also knew the difficulties and felt depressed again.
"Of course arranging someone to enter the yamen out of thin air. Of course, your brother doesn't have the ability, but if your brother leaves the yamen and find someone to take over the vacant one, your brother is still sure."
At this time, the woman came in with a copper pot containing hot water. Zhu Hu took the copper pot from his wife's hand, poured Zhu Biao a cup of hot water, and said with a smile.
Bang
"What, brother, you don't want to do it in the yamen anymore!"
Zhu Biao stood up suddenly, shocked by Zhu Hu's words.
