I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

Wushi Powder is made of five kinds of minerals: cinnabar, realgar, alum, Zengqing, and Cishi.

After taking it, it will make people feel hot all over the body and excited, resulting in a short-term effect of fluttering and confusing people.

It's a drug in itself, but taking too much can be addictive.

To put it bluntly, it is an ancient drug. Eating too much is equivalent to chronic suicide.

This kind of poison was once very popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. From emperors to commoners, almost everyone took Wushi Powder.

As for the danger, just think about it.

Lin Beifan did not expect that this Taoist priest would actually disperse the five stones.

Next, under the watchful eye of Lin Beifan, Daoist Void invited others to try the medicine.

Two of the ministers couldn't help but ate a divine elixir, respectively, and both showed a state of high spirits and fluttering, as if their souls flew out of the body and flew into the sky.

"Two Aiqings, does this medicinal pill really have such a magical effect? ​​You really went out of your body, wandering in the sky, and seeing immortals?" The Empress asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, after taking the divine elixir, Wei Chen really felt his soul come out of his body, his body fluttering like a fairy, flying to the sky, unrestrained, and his whole body was full of joy! In the trance, Wei Chen seemed to I saw a fairy..."

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen felt the same way after taking the elixir! However, Wei Chen didn't see the immortal, but he saw his father and mother who had passed away for many years. They laughed in the sky and were very kind!"

The two old ministers both explained the effects of their pills after taking them.

Everyone was surprised when they heard it.

"It's really a divine pill!"

"It can really make people's souls go out of their bodies and fly to the sky!"

"I saw the immortal, and I also saw my father and mother!"

...

If only one person said it, no one would believe it.

But the second and third people said so after taking the medicine, and both of them are important officials of the court, so everyone can't help not believe it.

Under the shocked and eager gazes of the crowd, the Taoist priest of emptiness became even more complacent.

"This is a divine pill made by Pindao, how can it be fake?"

The Empress was also surprised, and she couldn't help looking at Lin Beifan: "Lin Aiqing, what do you think?"

From just now until now, she has been secretly paying attention to Lin Beifan's expression, and found that he was very calm from beginning to end, neither sad nor happy, as if she already knew the origin and effect of this magic pill.

Therefore, she wanted to know from Lin Beifan's mouth whether this elixir was real.

"Your Majesty, do you need to ask?" Lin Beifan said excitedly: "The two adults have tried it themselves, and they are absolutely impossible to lie, so this medicinal pill must be a divine pill! A rare divine pill in the world!"

The queen sighed in her heart, her acting skills are so exaggerated, that's it!

This elixir is fake!

"What Aiqing said is very true!" The Empress was also excited, and said very exaggeratedly: "Even after the two Aiqings took it, they could feel the effect so clearly, presumably this medicinal pill is a real peerless pill! Daoist priest, It's a real master of the world!"

"Your Majesty is wise.'!" The empty Taoist smiled and opened his arms.

"Void Daoist!" The Empress said impatiently: "Since you can refine the Elixir, can you refine the Elixir of Immortality?"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials on the scene were a little short of breath.

If you didn't believe it just now, everyone believed it a little bit more after the Tongshen Pill was refined.

Even the out-of-body spiritual elixir can be refined, so what's wrong with other elixir?

"Of course! However, refining the elixir of life is not that easy. It requires a lot of precious medicinal materials, namely the shell of a century-old black turtle, jasper purple coral, and thousand-year-old peach wood..."

Empty Taoist spoke out a long list of precious medicinal herbs in a very detailed and professional manner.

The Empress nodded again and again, as did the civil and military officials, adding a point to her trust.

"Of course, there is also the keel, which is an essential medicinal guide!"

Empty Daoist said with his eyes shining: "The reason why Pindao has been unable to refine the elixir over the years is the lack of an elixir like keel! Without keel as a medicine guide, everything is in vain! However, as long as Give Pindao enough keels, and Pindao will definitely be able to refine the elixir of life and give it to His Majesty!"

At this time, Lin Beifan was completely sure that the other party came for the precious medicinal materials!

At the same time, it is also for the keel!

Oh, flickering on my head!

"Master, you are a step late!" An old official smiled bitterly: "The keel is a divine object, and the divine object has a spirit. He has already flown away in a stormy night!"

"Pin Dao naturally knows about this matter! But, don't you keep a little keel in your hands? As long as a little bit is used as a medicinal guide, you can refine the elixir of life!" Daoist Void asked reluctantly.

"This..." Everyone looked at Lin Beifan.

Lin Beifan felt very innocent: "Everyone is watching what I do, do I have a keel in my hand!"

Everyone sneered in their hearts.

How can you not be greedy, a corrupt official with a keel in hand?

We've all cut out a little bit!

I don't believe it, you don't have any stock left!

The Empress smiled and said: "Aiqing, if you have some keel in your hand, hand it over quickly so that the Taoist priest can refine the medicine!"

Lin Beifan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there is no keel in the hands of the minister, please check carefully!"

The queen continued to laugh: "Aiqing, you have been guarding the keel for a long time, haven't you pulled a little bit from it?"

Lin Beifan is righteous and awe-inspiring: "The keel is a sacred object, how can the ministers dare to blaspheme? Only those corrupt officials and those with ulterior motives dare to blaspheme the keel! Your Majesty please investigate!"

The surrounding civil and military officials were so angry that their mouths were crooked.

You bastard, who are you scolding?

The Empress shook her head and smiled: "Aiqing, this is possible!"

Lin Beifan was about to cry: "Your Majesty, there is no such thing!"

Lin Beifan pointed at the civil and military officials: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Officials, Mr. Gao Tianyao, once came to pay his respects to the keel, with his hands lying on the keel, maybe some of it is reserved! There is also the Minister of War... The Minister of Rites..."

Lin Beifan pointed out one by one.

The officials pointed out by Lin Beifan are going to explode with anger!

I can't wait to cut Lin Beifan down!

The Empress knocked on the table lightly, and said, "Aiqings, you should know what to do, don't let me embarrass me!"

"Chen... according to the order!" Baiguan said bitterly.

Lin Beifan comforted in a low voice: "My lord, don't be sad, the old ones won't go away and the new ones won't come! I still have a little bit in my hand. If you need it, I can sell it to you at a 20% discount!"

Civil and military officials: "Fuck!"

The Empress ordered: "Empty Daoist, I will then ask people to prepare medicinal materials and pill rooms for you to refine! In addition, for the convenience of doing things, I will give you a fourth-rank idle job! Wait for you to refine the elixir of life. , or other magical elixir, I will definitely reward you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Daoist Void laughed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

With the appreciation of the Empress, Taoist Void temporarily settled in the capital.

In the next few days, Empty Daoist was not at all restless, and frequently showed his abilities.

It can turn an empty basin into a snake, and turn a stone into gold...

The most amazing thing is that there was a person who had been dead for a day and was about to go to the ground for safety. As a result, the Empty Daoist passed by and gave the other person an elixir, and he came back to life.

Because of this, his reputation is getting louder and louder, and he has become the most popular person in the capital.

There is an endless stream of dignitaries who come to visit every day.

The home is full of precious gifts, as well as many gold and silver jewelry.

The empty Taoist priest looked at the room full of gold and silver jewelry, and smiled until his brows disappeared: "¨々 This time, I really made a lot of money! I have already obtained so many treasures before I started alchemy! Wait for the poor Taoist to refine it. If you produce more magic pills, the wealth will surely come in! And it will also be favored by the empress, adding an official and a noble, just around the corner!"

At this moment, his little apprentice ran in: "Master, Mr. Zhongyong, the governor of the capital, Lin Beifan, is here!"

"Lord Lin is here? Hurry up and invite!" Empty Daoist head shook his body.

Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Lin Beifan had the highest official position and was also the richest. When the other party comes to the door, he will definitely come to the door with full sincerity like other dignitaries.

He is about to post again, haha!

"Lord Lin, it's really glorious to visit the humble house!" Daoist Kong Kong greeted him with a smile on his face.

However, Lin Beifan was found empty-handed and a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he still pretended to be very enthusiastic.

"Daoist Void, my official has been busy these days, so I haven't found time to visit until now. Please forgive me!" Lin Beifan said politely.

"Sir Lin is very polite, please sit down quickly, haha!"

"Thank you sir!"

The two sat down and the tea was poured.

"Lord Lin, did you come here this time for the divine elixir?" Kong Kong Taoist said with a smile.

These days, dignitaries and dignitaries have come to visit, mainly for the purpose of channeling magic pills and experiencing the feeling of being out of one's body and fluttering like a fairy. So did Lin Beifan, he guessed.

However, it was beyond his expectations.

I saw Lin Beifan waved his hand: "The Taoist priest is wrong, that poisonous thing, what is this official going to do?"

The face of the empty Taoist froze, his eyes were a little flustered, and he said with a hint of anger and anger: "Lord Lin, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that the medicine pill refined by the poor Taoist is poisonous?"

Lin Beifan smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is the meaning of this official!"

Empty Daoist stood up suddenly, and said sternly: "Lord Lin, you are completely framed! If you don't explain clearly, give Pindao a satisfactory explanation, even if the trouble is in the Golden Palace, Pindao will also refer to your book. !"

Lin Beifan said with a smile: "Daoist, don't pretend to me! This officer knows better than you what your magic elixir is! Your elixir uses cinnabar, realgar, alum, Zeng Qing and Ci Shi are refined from 5 kinds of minerals!"

"It's not a magic pill at all, but a kind of spiritual drug, but it can make people excited, and it can also produce a feeling of fluttering and soul out of one's body!"

"But eating too much will make people addicted! But this thing is poisonous. Eating too much is not good for people. It will cause people to vomit, red and swollen skin, rotten bowels, mental disorders and other negative effects, which is equivalent to chronic suicide. !"

...

As Lin Beifan came out bit by bit, the empty Taoist priest's face became whiter and whiter, and he was dripping with cold sweat!

How did the other party know so clearly?

Clearer than his alchemist?

At this time, Lin Beifan slapped the table and shouted, "Well you are a demon! Come to my place to make trouble and confuse the public, you really eat the courage of an ambitious leopard!".
