Meanwhile, inside a small ordinary courtyard in the western part of the capital, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe who was kneeling cross-legged on a futon suddenly opened his eyes.
In front of him hung a very large eight trigrams yin and yang fish pattern, and below the pattern was placed an offering table, on which were several jade tiles with strange patterns drawn in vermilion sand.
And just at this moment, the left side of the jade plate slowly appeared cracks, and finally cracked into several pieces, scattered on the table.
The man's face changed drastically as he grabbed the jade tablet that shattered into several pieces, his body trembling.
He had cultivated a total of five disciples in his life, each one of them had helped him greatly in his cultivation, and all of them were the apple of his eye.
But now, Xie Yun had died, died in that little-known place in Kan Shi Town.
Xie Yun was not only his disciple, but also his only son.
But now, Xie Yun died, his only son was gone!
"Incoming!" The man suddenly droned.
"Immortal Master." A wonderful woman walked in, bowing her head with a respectful expression.
"Xie Yun is dead." The man said in a deep voice, his hands trembling.
The wonderful woman shook her head in horror at the words, "This ... this is impossible!"
Xie Yun was their Cloud Palace's eldest senior brother, he was only ordered by the Immortal Master to do a small thing, how could he die?
"Return the ten thousand taels of silver given by Mrs. Jiang and tell her that this matter was not done by our Cloudy Sky Palace." The middle-aged man ordered in a trembling voice.
The wonderful woman was about to say something when the man's voice came back to her ears.
"Let's go back to the Cloudy Sky Palace, no matter who killed Xie Yun, I will exterminate his entire family and let them die without a burial place."
"Yes." The wonderful woman answered and hurriedly woke up the people in the courtyard, instructing everyone to hurry and prepare their traveling clothes and return to the Cloudy Sky Palace first thing in the morning.
The capital city was different from other places.
Outside of other counties and prefectures, there was usually only one Taoist temple, and in particularly large prefectures, there might be two.
However, there were ten Taoist temples outside the capital, and the Cloudy Sky Palace was one of them.
This man looked to be in his thirties or forties, but in fact, he was already past his prime.
He is the master of the Cloud Palace, Xie Peng, known as Xie Xianshi.
This Xie Peng often went to the capital to exorcise evil spirits for the dignitaries and help them to do some unseemly things.
With these people to protect, the reputation of the Cloud Palace is not bad, no one ever knew that the Cloud Palace original also have evil practitioners.
And this Xie Peng, people are also very low-key, every time to the capital are living in this small courtyard.
Although he took the silver to do things for people, but if things are not done, will also return the silver, so in the capital those dignitaries, the reputation is very good.
...
Early the next morning, Qi Fangya received Xie Peng sent back 10,000 taels of silver.
Looking at Jiang Chunshu who was about to go out to the court, Qi Fangya frowned tightly: ''The people from Cloud Palace actually missed, what should we do next? Directly send people to exterminate the Ye family's entire clan?"
Jiang Chunshu while organizing his official hat, while softly said, "Madam don't worry, this kind of matter of extermination can't be taken lightly, we asked Cloud Palace to use ghosts and monsters to exterminate the Ye family before, even if someone wants to check, they can't check on our head, if Madam directly sends someone over, then it's not necessarily the case."
"In my opinion, it's you who can't get over that bitch, that's why you're stopping me, fearing that I'll send people to directly exterminate their entire family." Qi Fangya said with a cold snort, "Then again, that's your chaff wife, it's normal that you can't let go of her, why don't ... you pick up the mother and daughter duo and bring them to the capital, I'm willing to let her be a concubine for you."
Jiang Chunshu's eyes widened at the words.
Although, letting Ye Mengwen change from a wife to a concubine was really illegal, but who let Ye Mengwen be just an ordinary peasant woman? How could she compare to Qi Fangya, the county lord?
What's more, nowadays, his own official rank was fourth grade, even if he wanted to take a concubine, it would be a young and beautiful young girl, it shouldn't be a Ye Mengwen, that peasant woman who was over thirty years old and lowly.
But no matter what, he had relied on the Ye family to be able to go and catch the exam in the first place.
Jiang Chunshu also didn't want to catch up with the whole family.
He had also begged Qi Fangya to let Ye Mengwen be his concubine before, and Qi Fangya had refused.
She also said that as long as he dared to bring Ye Mengwen and her mother and daughter to the capital, she would divorce him.
Jiang Chunshu, of course, can not give up this hand of glory and wealth, had no choice but to send people back to find his second brother, gave them 500 taels of silver, and instructed his second brother to get rid of Ye Mengwen and their mother and daughter.
As a result, it allowed Ye Mengwen to escape.
"Your Ladyship is joking, she had an affair with someone else and has already been kicked out of the Jiang family, she is no longer my Jiang family's wife, so naturally she is not qualified to be my concubine." Jiang Chunshu shook his head and said.
Even if Qi Fangya was willing to let Ye Mengwen come as a concubine now, he would not agree.
A woman who was lying on a meadow with another man was not worthy of him even if her innocence was still intact.
Jiang Chunshu didn't want to let himself be shamed because of Ye Mengwen.
Qi Fangya was just talking, she knew that Jiang Chunshu must feel disgusted and wouldn't agree.
"I spend heavy money to ask a few killers to make a trip to Kan Shi Town, right, kill the people and then set a big fire to burn the Ye family to ashes, no one will even find out to our head, Jiang Chunshu, don't forget ... that the reason why you can be promoted to a fourth grade official, my father can make a lot of effort, I can let you increase your rank and title. can also make you lose everything, if you make me unhappy, I'll make you lose everything first." Qi Fangya said with a dark face.
"Okay, I'll listen to everything madam." Jiang Chunshu nodded his head in a hurry.
"You liar, if not for the sake of the three children, I really want to make peace with you." Qi Fangya turned around and went out after she finished speaking.
The matter of Jiang Chunshu marrying his wife and having a daughter, Qi Fangya didn't know about it before, or Jiang Chunshu only told her two months ago when Jiang Chunshu was about to be promoted to a fourth rank official and he himself proposed to send someone to Red Cliff Village to bring his in-laws and their family over.
Qi Fangya of course couldn't accept it and was bent on letting Ye Mengwen and the mother and daughter duo die.
In addition to wanting to keep her position, she also didn't want Jiang Chunshu to be impeached and removed from office.
After all, they had been married for many years and had three children, so of course Qi Fangya had to plan for herself and her children.
Jiang Chunshu also recognized this, so he dared to tell her everything.
...
June's Kanshi Town was hot, not a drop of rain fell for half a month in a row, even the willow river in the back, the water level also dropped a lot.
Qi Zhixuan didn't move to live with the Ye family, but spent silver to buy that mansion next to the Ye family, in this way, if they want to protect Qi Mujiu, it's also much more convenient than before.
Regarding the fact that Qi Mu Jiu was penniless and could only live by being a son-in-law to the Ye family, while his nephew was able to spend silver to buy the mansion, the Ye family had inquired about it, and Qi Zhi Xuan had also given an answer.
