Chapter 69 Five Emperors’ Money
Mi'er looked at Shang, and said with some speechlessness and fear: "Madam, what about Mr. Ning...""
Shang just snorted coldly: "Huh! Hateful, hateful, I was soft-hearted at the beginning and let the tiger return to the mountain, allowing him to escape and let him out of the house.
Now, that evil obstacle has become so overwhelming that it has become even more difficult to deal with.
The only solution now is to break the jade into pieces to make it whole.
This son must not be allowed to live any longer. If he is allowed to live again, I am afraid that my life will end."
......
Not long after, a maid came back and said, "Madam, it's Madam Ma who is here."
Shang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Please come quickly!"
This Ma Daopo is a witch in the capital, good at witchcraft and sorcery, and belongs to the left side of the sect.
He often travels among wealthy and aristocratic families such as Rongguo Mansion, casting spells to harm others.
Now that Shang was filled with resentment, he called Ma Daopo, planning to let Ma Daopo take action and secretly cast a spell to kill Zhao Ning, leaving Zhao Ning dead without a complete body.
Mr. Shang got up and went to see Ma Daopo. The two began to chat as soon as they met.
Ma Daopo looked at Mr. Shang and said with a smile: "Madam, you invited me over this time but the incense candles for worshiping gods and Buddhas are missing at home?
I have a lot of good things here. If you buy them back and worship them, you won't suffer any loss.
The prices are also cheap and kind, and they won’t cheat you.
A few days ago, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion bought a lot of incense and candles from me to pray for her descendants."
When Mrs. Shang heard this, she looked at Ma Daopo with a calm face and said, "Follow me to the room inside and take a look again!"
After that, Mrs. Shang took Ma Daopo to the room inside, and the two of them talked in secret.
Mr. Shang took some fine gold and silver out of the box, put them on the table, and showed them to Ma Daopo.
When Ma Daopo saw these treasures, her heart was moved. She laughed and said, "Madam, are you going to hurt someone? These things have been taken out, they are so precious."
Seeing that Ma Daopo was interested, Shang also knew that this person did many such things behind his back, so he looked at Ma Daopo and said, "As long as you help me kill one person, I will give you all these things."
Ma Daopo was not afraid and asked hurriedly: "Madam, who do you want me to kill for you?"
Maybe I have seen a lot of things and have become accustomed to them.
Shang looked at Ma Daopo indifferently and said, "Do you know my third son Zhao Ning?"
When Ma Daopo heard this, her face was horrified and she thought to herself: This is the aunt who wants to kill the bastard!
In the past, Ma Daopo had a lot of contact with things like the concubine harming the eldest lady, and the eldest lady harming the concubine, etc., and she often helped to deal with this matter.
Now Ma Daopo was horrified to hear that Shang wanted to kill her third son, Zhao Ning, and she looked at Shang in shock.
When the Shang family killed Zhao Ning's biological mother, Ma Daopo often came here, so she naturally felt famous.
Ma Daopo never thought that now the Shang family would actually plan to eradicate the root of the problem and actually take action against the baby that he let go in a moment of softness. She couldn't help but look down at the gold and silver on the table and said: "Madam, this matter is a bit difficult to handle.
. Could it be that the eldest lady is worried about repeating the disaster that happened to the Zhao orphans in the past?"
Mr. Shang nodded: "That's right. Cut the grass without removing the roots, but the spring breeze will bring forth new growth!"
Ma Daopo didn't say much nonsense and went straight to the point: "Madam, this is a big thing, I don't dare to do it."
Ma Daopo's attitude made Shang curse in his heart: Shameless thing.
He is simply a greedy snake that is insatiable.
Do you think I don’t know about the shameful things you do behind your back?
Although Mrs. Shang knew the character of Ma Daopo, she still needed Ma Daopo to do this.
She could have done it herself, but in that case, both Peach Blossom Academy and Rongguo Mansion would come to seek justice.
When the time comes, once there is a confrontation in court, the gods of heaven and earth and the gods will respond, how can they cheat!
When the time comes, the Shang family will definitely be exposed and unable to escape disaster.
Instead, it would be best to leave this matter to a witch like Ma Daopo.
Even if something happens, Shang can still throw all the blame on Ma Daopo.
Let Ma Daopo be the scapegoat, the scapegoat.
Shang's calculation is shrewd, but Ma Daopo is not a fool. The risk of murder is too high, so more money must be paid.
Ma Daopo waited and didn't say anything, just sitting there.
Mrs. Shang was silent for a long time. Seeing that Ma Daopo made no move, she seemed to be unable to persuade her and could not let go.
So, Shang took out three copper coins from the cabinet.
These three copper coins are the [True Five Emperors' Money].
Ancient folk have always had the custom of using ancient copper coins to ward off evil spirits and attract good fortune.
Usually five copper coins are strung together to represent the power of the five elements.
According to literature, hanging Tongbao money with a square hole on the neck with a red thread can ward off evil spirits.
Ancient copper coins are cast according to the "circle on the outside and square on the inside", "the unity of heaven and man", and the integration of yin and yang and the five elements, and are chosen to resemble heaven, law and earth.
It contains the mysterious and unknown power of heaven and earth. It is the emperor's money that is specially forged by immortal cultivators who study Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams for the Five Emperors to circulate throughout the world.
Therefore, the casting of ancient coins itself encompasses the unity of heaven, earth, and gods, and also achieves the function of ancient coins to communicate with gods.
When forging the Five Emperors' coins, five copper coins with round square holes need to be used to resemble the sky and the earth, gathering the energy of the five directions and the five elements, and then filling the emperor's money with the popularity of thousands of people.
From then on, the Five Emperors' money became a bargaining chip to ward off evil spirits, attract good fortune, and channel gods.
The Five Emperors, in the original sense, refer to the five heavenly emperors in the east, south, west, north and center. They are the gods of the five directions and are assigned the five colors and five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, white, green, black, red and yellow.
For example, the "Five Emperors" in "Zhou Li Tianguan" are the Qing Emperor in the east, the Red Emperor in the south, the Red Emperor in the center, the Yellow Emperor in the center, the White Emperor in the west, and the Black Emperor in the north.
Since the fall of the Five Emperors era, the era of contention among hundreds of schools of thought began in the Spring and Autumn Period, and continues to this day, the money of the Five Emperors has long ceased to circulate in the world, and has become a strategic material controlled by aristocratic families and cultivation sects, and will not easily circulate in the world.
As a witch, Ma Daopo naturally recognized the Five Emperors' Coins. Although there were only three coins, they were much more valuable than the secular finances on the table.
Ma Daopo happily took away the three Five Emperors coins and said: "Don't worry, Madam, I will do everything for you. I just don't know what his birthday is? With this thing, things will be easier to handle."
."
Mrs. Shang was well prepared for this, and immediately handed the note with Zhao Ning's birth date to Ma Daopo, saying, "I don't know about this, and don't say anything like I know about it in the future."
Ma Daopo smiled: "I know this very well. I will definitely not have anything to do with the eldest lady. Even if you kill me, I won't tell anyone."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Daopo rolled up the belongings on the table and planned to leave the place.
But Shang suddenly shouted: "Go and buy some incense candles for me."
