"This... little master, are you okay with this injury on your body? Ji... where is Master Ji? What's going on inside? Has the evil thing been resolved?"
The yamen officer on the left looked over worriedly. This man's name was Dongzheng.
"Brothers, I'm fine, it's just Master..."
Fang Ce looked sad and choked. Although he had no feelings for Master Ji, he still had to behave.
Although the injuries on his body still looked scary, they were actually much better.
"Master Ji, what happened to him!!"
The two government officials couldn't help but become nervous.
"Alas, Master, he unfortunately died and was harmed by that evil thing..."
Fang Ce sighed in pain.
"What!? Master Ji was also killed! There is such a powerful evil thing in this compound!? Now where is the evil thing? Little brother, do you know what the evil thing is?"
Dongzheng was seen looking shocked.
"The evil thing was also eliminated. The master tried his best to hold the evil thing back and let me use the fire talisman to attack and kill it.
That evil thing is a resentful spirit, and it should come from the pond in the compound. When the master checked the feng shui, the abnormality he found pointed to that."
Fang Ce sighed softly.
"So that's it. It would be nice to eliminate it. It's a pity for Master Ji. Alas... is that evil thing a resentful spirit? In other words, someone died unjustly in that pond?"
"I don't know this either, that's all I know."
Fang Ce shook his head. It was better not to say what he saw on the Feng Shui scroll. After all, if he said it like this, he couldn't explain it clearly, and it might cause some trouble...
"Okay! I will report the matter to you now, and you will send someone to deal with it. Young master, you need to rest first and heal your injuries."
Dongzheng nodded solemnly.
"Um."
Fang Ce nodded in agreement, and with the help of another government servant, he came to sit down under a big tree to rest.
Soon after.
Then we saw a dozen government officials coming in a hurry and quickly entering the courtyard to get busy.
Just a few moments.
Master Ji's body was carried out, and then a wet skeleton covered with algae was also carried out. It seemed that Qiu Dajiao's body should have been fished out from the pond.
"Hmm... was killed by the number one scholar? What was the motive? Where is the number one scholar now? If nothing else, he should be an official in the court, right?"
Fang Ce couldn't help but frown, not knowing whether this incident would have any impact...
"Little master, little master."
A low voice came.
Fang Ce came back to his senses and saw the yamen servant Dongzheng approaching. He couldn't help but said: "Huh? It's the yamen eldest brother. What's wrong? Is there anything else you can do?"
"Nothing, I just want you to cooperate. Come with us back to the Yamen to make a confession and explain the situation in detail. Is it convenient for you now? Can you move?"
Dongzheng responded.
"Oh, okay. It's much better now. It should be nothing serious."
Fang Ce responded and was about to get up.
"Little brother, be careful."
I saw Dongzheng stepping forward to help him.
"Uh...thank you, brother Yamen, I'm fine, I can do it myself."
Fang Ce felt a little warm in his heart. Is this yamen eldest brother okay?
Along the way.
Accompanied by a group of government officials, Fang Ce curiously looked around at the antique street scene, while also enjoying the curious and awe-filled looks from time to time from pedestrians on the street.
This feels not bad...
after a while.
Already arrived at the Yamen.
The solemn and solemn gate is guarded by stone lions on the left and right.
After Fang Ce entered the Yamen to make a written confession, he left directly.
Follow the memory all the way back to your residence.
Fang Ce's residence is a small three-sided house with a main room and east and west wing rooms. To be precise, this house actually belongs to Master Ji, and to be more precise, it belongs to the imperial court.
Because this is a residence provided by the imperial court to Feng Shui masters, Master Ji only has the right to use the small house and has no right to dispose of it.
Fang Ce entered the north room first, which was the main room, and put the yellow bag away.
The north room is the place where people work and receive guests, and various Feng Shui-related books are also placed there. The east wing is Master Ji's residence, and the west wing is Fang Ce's residence.
Fang Ce came out of the north room, returned to the west wing, rested for a while, and then started cooking.
On weekdays, chores such as cooking are naturally undertaken by apprentices.
the next day.
Fang Ce got up early and cooked some porridge, then took the Feng Shui classics placed in Master Ji's house and started to study them.
Nowadays, Feng Shui is related to whether you can extend your life span and your future prospects. Even if you are not interested, you still have to learn it hard.
Read for a while.
Fang Ce felt that it wasn't too difficult and quite interesting, perhaps because the original owner's memory was pretty good.
At the moment when he was in trance.
"Is the little master here? Is the little master here?"
A familiar shout sounded.
"Huh? Is that the yamen officer from yesterday? Here he is, please wait a moment!"
Fang Ce immediately stood up and walked out, opened the courtyard door, and saw that it was indeed Dong Zheng, but walking with him was a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe with an expressionless face.
Shao Changying!?
Fang Ce was surprised. In the original owner's memory, this person was the eighth-grade Feng Shui master in the town! He could also be said to be Ji Xing's boss!
"I've seen Master Shao and Brother Yamen, please come in."
Fang Ce saluted quickly, but he was confused in his heart, what are they doing here?
Come inside.
"Little Master, please take out all the relics of Master Ji. Master Shao wants to count them and collect them."
I saw Dongzheng speaking very politely.
"Oh, I got it. The little one will get it right away. Please wait a moment, you two!"
Fang Ce responded quickly and immediately started looking around the house to get busy.
He also knew the purpose of their visit, which was to confiscate Master Ji's property.
In my memory, Master Ji belongs to the imperial court, and he has no wife or daughter, so the property left behind will naturally belong to the imperial court.
Although the original owner was Master Ji's apprentice, he was also a member of the imperial court. Following Master Ji was essentially a superior-subordinate relationship. Naturally, the property left by Master Ji did not belong to him.
After a while, Fang Ce had found all the property that Master Ji might have left behind in the house, including the yellow bag, but it didn't seem to be of much value...
"that's it?"
Shao Changying raised his eyebrows.
"Uh...yes...Master Ji is usually very charitable and gives away all his money to help those in need."
Fang Ce responded awkwardly. It would not sound good if he directly said that the guy went to the hook bar to find a girl.
"Being kind and charitable? Ha, I get it. Record it."
Shao Changying responded calmly and looked at Dongzheng.
"Yes, Master Shao!"
Dongzheng responded, quickly started counting, picked up a pen and paper and recorded it.
"I heard that you used the talisman to kill the resentful spirit in the end?"
Shao Changying asked.
"Master, yes, it was just a fluke. By the way, I wonder if the origin of the resentful spirit can be found out?"
Fang Ce was curious.
"Why are you asking?"
Shao Changying frowned.
"Uh... No, I just asked casually. It was a little rude! Master, please forgive me!"
Fang Ce quickly lowered his head and responded. Judging from Shao Changying's reaction, he might have some idea of the origin of the resentful spirit.
But maybe because it involves the top pick, my reaction is a little sensitive...
At this moment, Shao Changying didn't say anything else, but casually fiddled with Jixing's Feng Shui yellow bag with a slight frown.
"Master, please forgive me for asking. I wonder...when will the new Feng Shui master here take office?"
Fang Ce asked carefully, everything else was secondary, this was the focus now.
