During the Wanli period, there was a scribe surnamed Wang, who served in the Ministry of Rites, with a meager monthly salary and a poor life. Especially at the end of the year, spending is even more surging, debt is entangled, and livelihoods are in jeopardy. When the scribe Wang heard that the warlock Li Shizhong was good at fate, he went to ask for advice, hoping to find out if he had the possibility of transshipment.
After calculating, Li Shizhong was surprised to point out that the number of Qi on the birthday of the Wang scribe showed that he should have been destined to be extremely rich, but he had not enjoyed good luck so far. He likened fate to a ship, luck is like the wind, even if you have a huge ship, if you don't meet a tailwind, you won't be able to move forward. Li Shizhong told the Wang scribe that unless he was transferred, even if he was destined to be rich, it would be in vain.
When the scribe heard this, he felt extremely depressed, and did not dare to get involved in the matter of wealth and nobility, but only hoped to know when he would be able to fill his stomach. Li Shizhong calculated again and said in surprise that at noon on the fifth day of May next year, the Pleiades chicken will come, indicating the advent of unexpected opportunities. This is an excellent time for the big ship to have a tailwind, and the royal scribe must not miss it.
After returning home, the Wang scribe pondered Li Shizhong's words and was skeptical. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the days of the Wang scribes have become even more tight. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the Ministry of Rites needed one person to stay in the lobby on duty, and the scribe Wang could not go home because of debt entanglements, so his colleagues pooled some money, hoping that he could buy some wine and food to entertain when the Ministry of Rites was on duty.
However, the accident happened beyond his imagination. Two rats on the bookshelf accidentally knocked over the wine bottle during the fierce fight, and the wine spilled all over the floor. When the scribe Wang saw this scene, he sighed with emotion, remembered Li Shizhong's prophecy, and couldn't help sighing: "The kindness of my colleagues has made it impossible for me to enjoy this bottle of wine, is it rare to even see this opportunity?"”
When he examined the wet document, he found that it was actually a statement from the Ryukyu Kingdom requesting the canonization of the prince three years ago. Due to the passage of time, this document has long since become irrelevant, so he is relieved. The king scribe cleaned up the debris and left the wet documents to dry in the sun. At this moment, an envoy dressed in Ryukyu national costume mysteriously appeared in the Ministry of Rites.
The envoy from the Ryukyu Kingdom politely asked, "May I ask if this is the Ministry of Rites, is there any scrivener here?"The scribe Wang unexpectedly saw the person coming, and hurriedly responded: "The villain is the scribe, what do you have to do?"The envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom said with a smile: "The lower official is ordered by the king to go to the Ministry of Rites and ask the scribe to help, don't shirk." The king scribe asked suspiciously, "What is the matter?"”
The envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he quietly told the king's scribe: "Three years ago, the prince of our country was inappropriately behaved, which caused the people of the country to be dissatisfied. Now the king and his ministers have discussed and want to depose the prince, but because he has written to the kingdom before, he does not dare to act without permission. I hereby ask for the assistance of the scribe to find out the text and return it, and then resubmit it after the new prince ascends the throne, so as to cover up this matter. If you can help with this, you will be grateful. ”
After pondering for a moment, the king clerk muttered, "The deposition of the prince is a major event, and it is extraordinary. I don't dare to say yes hastily, this matter needs to be kept secret. Nowadays, there are many people coming and going, and there will be a lot of words, so it is better to go to the tavern outside the front door tomorrow morning to talk in detail, just in case. The envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom understood what he meant and promised to go on time.
The next morning, the royal scribe arrived at the tavern on time, and the Ryukyu envoy had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the arrival of the king's scribe, the messenger greeted him with a smile: "Why did you arrive so late?"The king replied, "It is not a deliberate delay, but because what you have mentioned is quite difficult." After you left yesterday, I searched for the expression of your country three years ago, and learned that it was with my colleague. However, that colleague was cunning, and I could hardly speak outright, so I had to lie that I wanted to borrow it in order to get the text. As soon as I succeed, I will hand it over to you immediately. However, I don't know what to gain afterwards. ”
The envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom smiled and proposed, "After the matter is completed, I am willing to pay you 300,000 taels of silver." The king scribe hesitated and said: "Although 300,000 taels is already a lot, but your country can overthrow the secret sages and benefit the people, and there must be many achievements of villains." Can you add some more?The messenger stretched out his five fingers and smiled, "You are right. When the deed is done, this amount will be your reward. Be sure to deal with it as soon as possible, the sooner the better. ”
Three days later, the king's scribe delivered the letter to the messenger as promised, and was rewarded with 500,000 pieces of silver. Overnight, he went from being a poor scribe to a wealthy man. His colleagues knew nothing about all this. Soon after, the king resigned from his errand and returned to his hometown, where he built houses, purchased land, and became a local landlord. He was grateful, and specially invited the warlock Li Shizhong to his home and gave him a thousand taels of silver to express his gratitude.
