At this moment, the door of the Xiao family’s living room was closed, and there were only three people inside, the Xiao family’s father and son, and Du Changsheng, while Xiao Du and Xiao Ling slowly explained the matter.
“When the founding of this dynasty killed the heroes, was it your ancestors of the Xiao family who did it?”
Du Changsheng was a little surprised when he heard this. It is not that the history of the killings has not been spread to the outside world, but those who were killed had corresponding “crimes”, but those who have the wisdom to distinguish right from wrong know exactly what happened. Du Changsheng was a little surprised that the Xiao family was the emperor’s sword.
“It is taboo to say these words of the Imperial Master outside…”
“Of course I know this, but what happens next?”
Xiao Du calmed down for a moment before continuing.
“Xiao actually didn’t know much about what happened next, but the dream a while ago made us understand something…”
As Xiao Du narrated, Du Changsheng’s expression became more and more wrong. By the time Xiao Du finished speaking, Du Changsheng had goosebumps and looked at Xiao Du with disbelief.
“You, your ancestors actually put the candles from the houses of the executed ministers in the Chunmu River… This ruins people’s spiritual path and breaks the foundation of their enlightenment! And this monster is still alive today…”
Du Changsheng took a breath of air. This happened almost two hundred years ago. If Xiao Du’s description is true, the monster’s abilities were already considerable two hundred years ago. Now that the monster is still alive, I don’t know if there is any How awesome.
“Huh…”
After a long time, Du Changsheng exhaled and looked at Xiao Ling.
“What about you? Why did you offend Empress Ying?”
Xiao Ling had nothing to hide, so he directly told what happened that year.
“It’s a long story, and it starts from when I fell in love with Wan’er…”
When Xiao Ling mentioned that Ying Ruoli came to the door and was accompanied by a gentleman named Ji, Du Changsheng was frightened and immediately interrupted.
“Wait a minute! Mr. Xiao, did you say that a gentleman named Ji came with you back then?”
“Yes, in addition to being curious about Wan’er and me, that gentleman was mainly interested in the woman who gave me the spell. It seemed that she escaped from him. Judging from the reactions of Empress Ying and the other man, The woman who escaped was an incredible monster. By the way, Empress Ying and the man called Mr. Ji ‘uncle’.”
Du Changsheng’s breathing was trembling. He felt that he seemed to know some of Mr. Ji’s secrets. He was a little excited and a little nervous. Then he suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Lingdao with a serious face.
“Did the woman who gave you the evil talisman give you anything else, or make any agreement, or cast any spell that made you uncomfortable, or…”
Speaking of this, Du Changsheng suddenly stopped talking. Originally, he thought about escaping from Mr. Ji. The evil woman was so powerful that it would be very dangerous to leave anything behind. Then he thought, Mr. Ji and Madam Ying have come to see it in person. Can you tell if something is wrong?
“Uh, Imperial Master, that evil woman…”
“You can’t wait to know too much about this matter. All you need to know is Mr. Xiao and your Xiao family. I don’t even know how many people have walked through the door of **** because of this matter. If you don’t meet the master… forget it. , you don’t need to know too much about this matter… Well, you still need to keep this matter secret and don’t tell anyone about it!”
“Yes!” “Xiao knows!”
Du Changsheng calmed down his emotions and looked at Xiao Ling carefully again. He felt a little strange in his heart. Since Xiao Ling could keep this secret for so many years without even telling his father, logically he would not break any promises. people.
“Mr. Xiao, apart from what happened just now, do you and Empress Ying have any additional agreements?”
Xiao Ling thought carefully for a long time and shook her head.
“There should be no more.”
“That’s weird…”
Du Changsheng pondered for a moment, then stood up directly.
“Dumou is also aware of this matter. He needs to go back and think about it carefully. He will use the Dharma altar to figure out how to solve this matter. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Du will leave today. You two had better not frequent it recently. Get out!”
“National Master, I’m leaving now, I’ll see you off!”
Du Changsheng opened the door of the living room by himself, stood outside and held his hands inside.
“No need, Du will leave by himself, no need for carriages and horses. He will come back when there is news.”
Du Changsheng had no intention of staying in the Xiao family for a long time at this moment, so he directly told the Xiao family without saying a word, and then got into the crowd of people on the street outside. He used a blindfold to escape to prevent anyone from following him, and then headed straight to Yin Mansion.
As soon as he approached the Yin Mansion, Du Changsheng’s own blinding method actually began to be unstable. Du Changsheng had just walked to an alley, and before he had even stepped on it, he didn’t even react. The spell was popped like a bubble by Haoran Zhengqi. , it startled him.
“Haoran’s righteousness is really powerful. If Xiao Yin can bury the hatchet for a long time, then as long as he stays with Yin Xiang, no evil spirit may dare to seek revenge, and even the gods will have to give Yin Xiang some face!”
But just thinking about it, Du Changsheng shook off his thoughts and walked directly to the Yin Mansion. His reputation in the Yin Mansion was not low now, so he entered the mansion unimpeded and came to Ji Yuan’s courtyard.
This time Ji Yuan had already gotten up. When Du Changsheng arrived, he saw Ji Yuan playing with the chessboard alone in the courtyard, so he respectfully saluted outside the arch.
“Du Changsheng meets Mr. Ji!”
“Good morning, Master Du Tian. Oh, it’s time for Ji to change his name to National Master. Congratulations.”
Du Changsheng smiled shyly.
“Whatever Mr. Ji said, without Mr.’s guidance and without Mr.’s teachings, I, Du Changsheng, would not be where I am today.”
While talking, Du Changsheng walked into the courtyard and came to the stone table. He took a careful look at the chess game on the table and didn’t see anything special. Seeing that Ji Yuan didn’t speak, he lowered his voice and whispered.
“Mr. Ji, I went to the home of Mr. Xiao, the imperial censor…”
Du Changsheng told Ji Yuan everything he heard and saw without reservation. Ji Yuan didn’t have much reaction. He just listened quietly without interrupting. When Du Changsheng finished speaking, Ji Yuancai said thoughtfully.
“So Xiao Ling is now infertile?”
“Exactly, I heard that the young master of the Xiao family has married multiple concubines, and recently planned to marry another one. When many ladies failed to give birth to children, Du just took a look and realized that this might be Tongtian. Empress Jiang Ying’s method.”
“Yeah.”
Ji Yuan nodded and placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard. Du Changsheng couldn’t help but ask after waiting for him to speak for a long time.
“Mr. Ji, do I care about this matter or not?”
Ji Yuan looked up at him.
“Are you referring to the old grudge between Mr. Xiao and Lao Gui, or the punishment given to Xiao Ling by Empress Tongtian Jiangying?”
“Uh, I have both…please enlighten me sir!”
Ji Yuan put down a chess piece again, glanced at the chessboard, stood up, and took away the chessboard with a lift of his sleeves.
“Well, since you have met the Xiao family, you should also meet the other two parties involved, so that you can make your own judgment. Whether it succeeds or not depends on you.”
“The other two parties?”
Du Changsheng was slightly startled. Before he could ask any more questions, he saw Ji Yuan walking towards the outside of the courtyard. He had no choice but to follow him quickly. After leaving the Yin Mansion, his pace was slow but fast. He walked through the streets and alleys and finally left the city. , and soon arrived at a remote place by the Tongtian River.
In front of him was the vast Tongtian River, with the rolling water flowing, which made people feel relaxed, but this did not include Du Changsheng, because he thought about who he would see.
At this moment, in Ji Yuan’s arms, a small paper crane squeezed out of the brocade bag, then spread its wings, flew around Ji Yuan a few times, and then got into the Tongtian River at the owner’s nod.
Ji Yuan looked at the river, seeming to be thinking about something. Du Changsheng did not dare to disturb him and stood aside without saying a word.
About half a quarter of an hour later, water splashed on the river, and a huge old turtle broke through the waves and swam towards the shore. Du Changsheng became a little nervous, but what surprised him was that this was not what he imagined. The evil spirit of fierce flames, although the evil spirit on this old turtle is strong, there is no evil spirit.
The old turtle went to the riverside, stood up against the waves, and held his hands towards Ji Yuan.
“Wu worships Mr. Jian Ji! I have met the Imperial Master of Dazhen!”
Du Changsheng quickly returned the gift and asked with a surprised voice.
“You, you know me?”
The old turtle smiled.
“Hehehe, Old Turtle, I am good at divination and can know some trivial things. I even got to know the Imperial Master in Chunhui Mansion.”
As soon as Old Turtle finished speaking, the water waves on the river suddenly spread out to the left and right invisibly. A wave of water carried a woman in splendid clothes and with a floating ribbon accompanying her. It was just when he came back to find Shuyuanwww.zhaoshuyuan.com Ying Ruoli, who is near Tongtian River.
“Ruoli has met Uncle Ji.”
Ying Ruoli only saluted Ji Yuan, and nodded to Lao Gui and Du Changsheng. Even so, the latter two were a little flattered and quickly saluted the Tongtian River God.
Of course Ji Yuan satisfied his curiosity first and asked Ying Ruoli directly.
“Is Xiao Ling’s infertility a result of your manipulation?”
When Ying Ruoli heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then she counted her fingers and suddenly smiled.
“Well, it’s Ruoli’s hand, four-bedroom concubine, it’s quite hard work. It’s good that the Xiao family is gone…”
Originally Ying Ruoli didn’t bother to say anything more, but because it was Ji Yuan who asked, she explained to Ji Yuan.
“Uncle Ji, when I saw that the woman named Xiao and the woman named Duan were more affectionate than Jin in front of me, Ruoli let him go. However, mortal promises can sometimes not be trusted, so Ruoli doesn’t care about his reasons for keeping a hand. He rushed to marry a concubine before his strength was restored, and now he wants to add another house. Uncle Ji, do you think this is Ruoli’s harm to him?”
Ji Yuan heard Ying Ruoli’s words a little angry, and seemed to think that someone was here to help Xiao Ling speak, so he quickly cleared the relationship.
“Of course it doesn’t count as you harming him. Ji is not very interested in it. This time he just brought the Imperial Master here. Du Guoshi, the two rightful masters have arrived. You can talk to them yourself. ”
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he walked aside and flicked his sleeves to put out the chessboard again. This time there was an extra table, and he began to continue the previous self-game stage, showing a non-interfering attitude.
Me? Talk to them yourself? Du Changsheng swallowed subconsciously and glanced at the kind-hearted old turtle. As for Empress Jiang Shen, who looked half-smiling but not smiling, Du Changsheng pretended that he didn’t remember Xiao Ling.
