"As long as you do what I say, within three days, someone from the palace will come to welcome you into the Xuanqing Palace—"
Wu Chao briefly explained what he needed the other party to do.
"..."
Listening to the young man's words, the smile on He Jin's face gradually disappeared and turned into a look of surprise.
"This...but if this happens, Pindao will definitely offend Xia Shoufu..."
"Once you have established a foothold in front of the emperor, it doesn't matter what Xia Tingzhen thinks of you. What's more, in the future, you and he will be in the palace and the other will be outside the palace, each performing his own duties and having no intersection."
Wu Chao said bluntly: "There are gains and there are losses. This is the case in everything in the world. Whether it is worth it or not, you have to weigh it yourself."
"Wu Shisun's words are certainly correct... The poor man still understands the principle of finding wealth in danger..."
He Jin looked complicated and said hesitantly: "But...how can Wu Shisun be sure that there will be thunder from the sky tonight?"
He won't question anything else. After all, the Wu family's abilities lie here. If they want to find out some unknown things, it's not difficult for them as long as they are willing to investigate.
But... even those who practice divination dare not make a conclusion about natural disasters!
It's okay to predict a cloudy or sunny day, and I can barely guess that there will be thunder tonight, but if it is said that the thunder will destroy the Fengtian Temple... this is too incredible!
Such unknown lies, if not careful, can turn into lies and deceive the public!
Wu Chao had no intention of explaining too much to him.
He trusts Miss Xu, but others may not. It is normal to have concerns.
"If this thing comes to fruition, you will be favored by His Majesty. I don't need to say much about your future. But if it doesn't come to fruition, I will protect you and send you away from the capital to ensure that you are stable and have no worries about your livelihood for the rest of your life."
It's useless to blindly persuade the other party to believe this matter. Promising conditions is what the other party really needs.
He Jin was moved after hearing this.
If it is true as Wu Shisun said, he will not suffer any loss no matter how much he calculates...
He knows the capabilities of the Wu family very well.
As for whether Wu Shisun would keep his promise, he was quite confident - a member of a family like Wu Shisun simply didn't bother to cheat, and he would not ruin the moral integrity of the family for the sake of his life.
There are many things in this world that are like this. You can't do it yourself, but that doesn't stop you from believing that some people can do it.
People who were born and raised in Ningyang almost have a kind of almost worshipful trust in the Wu family who have brought good things to their side.
Thinking again about the hexagram I made last night...
The sky-high wealth is right in front of you. With a small fortune, you can make a fortune, just take this gamble!
He Jin gritted his teeth and knelt down in the direction of Wu Chao.
"If a poor Taoist can really enter the Xuanqing Palace, he will be born to the descendants of the descendants in the future, and will be the descendants of the descendants in death. In the future, he will act cautiously in front of the emperor in the palace, and will never let down the grandson's painstaking arrangements today——"
Wu Chao looked at him in surprise.
"..."
This was just a simple transaction, and he had no intention of inserting the other party into the palace as an eye liner.
After a moment of silence, Wu Chao said: "Get up..."
He didn't explain much about the other party's misunderstanding.
Because just now a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind - the fat sheep delivered to the door will not be harvested unless it is harvested, what if it is used later?
He might...be influenced by Miss Xu.
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, the young man looked at He Jin who stood up: "This is the arrangement for now. After the remaining matters are determined, I will ask someone to pass the message to you."
He still needs to wait for Miss Xu's reply.
As for why He Jin was informed so early, it was simply because he was afraid that if this person failed to follow the path, he could leave enough time to arrange for others.
"Yes, I obey, little man."
Seeing the flattering smile on his face, Wu Chao reminded him with some discomfort: "...it's better to have some character."
With such a villain's face, it is really difficult to convince others that he is an expert.
"This villain understands..." He Jin put away the smile on his face and his expression became calm.
Wu Chao reluctantly nodded with satisfaction.
…
In the Duke's Mansion, Xu Mingyi had just received the things Xiaoqi had sent, and then went to the front yard to see Yao Jing.
"Sir, I got the picture."
In the hall, Akui handed over the scroll.
Yao Jing unfolded it and looked at it, looking surprised.
Such meticulousness was achieved overnight?
And this is obviously the residence of a wealthy family...
Could it be that someone was so crazy that he hid a dead body in a hospital?
However, when I thought about it, I realized that the person who performed this evil spell couldn't be a normal person.
Yao Jing looked at what was drawn on the picture carefully, sometimes focusing on a certain place, and sometimes holding the scroll far away, as if he was making a judgment based on multiple displays——
Although Xu Mingyi was a little anxious, he didn't show it. He just sat aside and waited quietly without making a sound to disturb or urge him.
Things have progressed to this point, and it has reached the most critical moment. I hope she can get an answer worth trying from Mr. Yao today.
She waited for more than a quarter of an hour before Yao Jing finally spoke.
"Look, girl, it's right here!"
Yao Jing pointed to a place in the picture and said sternly: "If there are no mistakes in this picture, everything set up near this place, from the shape of the pool to the layout of the stone railings and rockeries, are all needed to set up the array!"
In order to set up this formation, the other party must have repaired these furnishings extensively, which can be said to be a painstaking effort!
Of course, it takes more than just hard work.
There is also a lot of money.
What could he do with this money, but it was used on such meaningless evil ways? Compared to the other party's insidiousness and viciousness, Yao Jing didn't know where to start scolding him for a while.
"Sir, are you sure this is where the corpse is hidden?" Xu Mingyi confirmed cautiously.
Yao Jing looked determined: "It can't be wrong."
As for why he no longer pretends that he only has a "little knowledge" of these evil arts at this time?
——In fact, yesterday he was really worried, so he went to see the Duke.
Unexpectedly, the Duke glared at him and questioned him for not paying attention to the girl's words. He was speechless with a stormy question: "Sir, do you look down on me as someone's granddaughter?"
At this point, what is the girl's status in the house? What else can't he see clearly?
What's more, he also figured out one thing through this——
As long as you hold the girl's thigh tightly, even if you accidentally offend the Duke of Guo in the future, it might not be a problem!
He who knows the current affairs is a hero, this is an ancient saying.
Xu Mingyi nodded after hearing this.
She knew Mr. Yao's character well, and would always rather not say anything if it was not certain.
In this case, she can send a message to Wu Chao and Xu Ying.
At this point, the second son of the Xia family, who likes to control everything, is destined to be unable to take charge of even half of his own life.
If he's lucky enough and Hell doesn't think he's too filthy and is reluctant to accept him, the other half will soon be out of reach.
