When Xu Qingan heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan really came to trouble Master Zhang. Although he had long disliked the old Taoist, he knew that this Taoist priest was just pretending all day long and had no real ability at all.
Sooner or later, one day I offend someone I shouldn't, and my pants are stripped and paraded through the streets.
However, this old Taoist priest also helped him, and he didn't want to just watch this Taoist priest being tortured and sent to the government.
Xie Yuan noticed that Xu Qingan's expression was different. He was very familiar with this expression. People who were deceived by the Taoist priest all looked like this. They were clearly fooled but still covered up for the Taoist priest.
"Your Majesty." Xie Yuan shouted again.
Xu Qing'an came back to his senses: "Oh, I don't know Zhenren Zhang, but if the person Brother Xie mentioned comes to the capital, I can help you find out."
"Master," Xie Yuan looked serious, "If you really know this person, you must not be deceived again. A person I know died because he believed in him and took the so-called 'miracle medicine' he sent.
."
Xu Qingan was surprised: "Are you saying that Master Zhang killed someone?"
Xie Yuan nodded: "I still keep those pills. I was going to report to the official in Changzhou. This man is very cunning and has left Changzhou. I asked people to ask around but couldn't find any trace of him. Because there was something going on in Beijing, I had to go first."
When I went to Beijing, I didn't expect to see those talismans in the palace. Those talismans were the same as those I saw in Changzhou."
Xu Qingan swallowed: "Most of the talismans painted by Taoist priests are similar, and you can't tell that they were made by the same person."
Xie Yuan shook his head: "Although the painting method of the talisman is the same, it is like the same character. Everyone will write it slightly differently. I have compared it carefully just now." As he said, he looked at Xu Qing'an, "The prince took one look at the talisman and immediately
If you want to make a comparison, you must have discovered something fishy. It seems that the prince had some dealings with that Taoist priest and must have believed that Taoist priest, so he was unwilling to tell the truth to me."
Xu Qing'an was told exactly what he was thinking, and couldn't help coughing: "What's the matter? I met a bastard once, but that was in Fengxiang. However, there are too many magicians in this world who deceive others and steal their reputations. If Brother Xie can speak again,
Be clear…”
Xie Yuan showed a heavy look on his face: "The person who was killed was not someone else, but my sister-in-law. Our family moved out of Changzhou, and only the second uncle's family stayed at the ancestral home. The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the second uncle's family were very kind to others.
Well, my sister-in-law is the most virtuous."
After saying this, Xie Yuan paused slightly, as if to calm down, and then continued after a while: "I heard that my sister-in-law had some minor illness, and she got better after taking a few medicines, but suddenly her condition took a turn for the worse. I hurried
She passed away the day before I arrived in Changzhou. I checked the doctor’s prescription and found that there was nothing wrong with it. I had read medical books since I was a child and could conclude that my sister-in-law was definitely not dead from illness, so I reported it directly to the official. Only then did I know that I had seen my sister-in-law before she passed away.
A Taoist priest took the pills from the Taoist priest's hand, and the family also found the talisman left by the Taoist priest in the house.
This is not the first time I have seen Taoist priests harm people. I didn’t expect it to happen to someone close to me this time. I... If I don’t catch the Taoist priest this time, someone will definitely die. If the prince really has clues,
Please let me know. If we can find out the truth, it will comfort my sister-in-law’s spirit in heaven.”
Xie Yuan cupped his fists and saluted Xu Qingan.
Xu Qing'an hurriedly helped Xie Yuan up: "What do you say? I can't help you. How can I accept your gift? In short, those so-called Taoist priests are really harmful to people."
Xie Yuan shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. There are also people from outside the world who are dedicated to practicing and seeking the Tao, and there are also Taoist doctors who save people from suffering. It's just that it's difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between true and false, but even Taoist doctors have to check people's pulses.
I will never use talismans to cure diseases. Most of those magicians who deceive the world and steal their reputations and make false claims will say that wearing talismans can either get rid of evil spirits or fulfill wishes, making people make wishes every day, believing that it will be effective."
After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve and shook it in the air. The talisman paper actually started to burn: "Master, do you think I am a cultivator?"
Xie Yuan's long and graceful figure, with fluttering robes on his body, really made him look real. If he were silent, he would also look a bit unpredictable.
Xie Yuan smiled helplessly: "This is all their trick. I don't know how many of them have been exposed. Unfortunately, too many people have been deceived by them. If the prince meets such a person, he must not be fooled."
"How could I," Xu Qing'an said, "I have seen these little tricks before. I can tell at a glance that they are all fake. Of course I won't be fooled."
Xie Yuan's face was full of sincerity: "I won't say much today. I just hope that the prince can find some clues... If you still want to ask me anything, just ask someone to call me."
Xu Qing'an and Xie Yuan said goodbye and caught up with the carriage waiting not far ahead. When they reached the carriage, Xu Qing'an was about to speak.
Xu Qinghuan's voice came from the carriage: "There are many people here, let's talk about it when we get back!" Although she didn't hear clearly what Xie Yuan and her brother were saying just now, she knew that the matter must be related to Zhang when she saw Xie Yuan's actions.
Related to real people.
Xie Yuan was like this in his previous life, he always wanted to catch Zhenren Zhang.
Anyone who is familiar with epigraphy, medicine, and medicine will inevitably be interested in the methods left by the alchemists. However, Xie Yuan only believed in medical theory and was extremely disgusted with the alchemists.
This is still the case in this life, but it seems to have come earlier.
At this time in his previous life, Xie Yuan was studying in Beijing Academy, and Zhang Zhenren seemed to rarely appear in Beijing.
Xu Qinghuan already felt in his heart that this matter was inseparable from the changes in Changzhou. Changzhou had not yet started a war, but there had already been movement.
The plan of the person behind Wang Yun was exposed, so he had to make adjustments. On the surface, she didn't catch the person, but in fact, she at least disrupted the person's plan.
Only when that person moves, she can find out more, which is a good thing for her.
Xu Qingan, who was riding on the horse, felt more and more uncomfortable on his neck, as if something was slowly tightening him, making him unable to breathe. After finally reaching the Anyi Marquis Mansion, Xu Qingan stepped through the door, and hurriedly opened the collar plate with both hands.
button, and then pulled out a brocade bag.
This is the talisman that Master Zhang asked him to wear. It is said that it can make all his wishes come true and ensure that the person he loves will change his mind. It is also said that the talisman has the magic of the gods. This bastard old man must have lied to him.
I hid in bed and prayed sincerely, carefully keeping it close to my chest.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingan's eyes turned red.
Xu Qinghuan walked in and saw Xu Qing'an with a resentful look on his face. He looked at the brocade bag in his hand in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, didn't you say that Master Zhang's trick is a lie? You will never believe it?"
"But what he said is so true," Xu Qing'an was about to cry but suddenly remembered something and looked at the boy, "Where is Master Zhang? I'm going to find him to settle the score. I will not give up until I find out the truth." Now he
It feels like my heart has been hollowed out.
…
In the small courtyard of the Song family.
Zhang Zhenren's expression was as usual. He looked at Song Chengxuan's back and whispered: "Miss Xu went to Prince Jian's Mansion. Princess Jian's natal family is in Changzhou.
Marquis Anyi is preparing to go to Changzhou to lead troops, Miss Xu must be secretly helping Marquis Anyi to win this battle, and it is best to find some helpers for Marquis Anyi."
