The Anti-Security Guard was established by Emperor Qingming only five years ago, and its methods and power infiltration are not very scary.
Although one of their secret responsibilities is to monitor all officials, for ministers of Xia Tingzhen's status, the inspectors are far from being able to monitor them closely.
The current situation in the world is like this. Excessive surveillance will definitely make the ministers aware. If the monarch and his ministers are alienated, it will be counterproductive.
The reason why they appeared in the Xia family today was purely accidental.
Their team was recently ordered to search for the remnants of the previous dynasty who were secretly creating chaos and inciting people's hearts in the capital. Today, while tracking down clues, they happened to pass by this place and saw that the Taoist man was invited into the mansion through the back door by a servant of the Xia family in a covert manner.
Recently, the affairs of the Xia family have inevitably attracted more attention.
I just sent two people to investigate along the way, but I didn't expect to hear such words from this man's mouth——
"Master, don't say such nonsense!"
In the garden, the mother-in-law reminded in a low voice with an ugly face: "If word spreads... you and I can't bear it!"
He just told me how much money he wanted, but he dared to involve the fate of the country - he was not killed by evil spirits, but he was scared to death by his words!
"How can a poor man dare to speak nonsense about such a big matter? How can he hide it and not talk about it?"
The Taoist said in an excited tone and with a solemn and upright air: "If this evil spirit is not eliminated, even your house may not be able to bear the disasters it will cause in the future."
As he said that, he glanced at the gloomy sky above his head, and his expression was even more shocked.
"I'm afraid there will be a vision warning tonight..."
He turned to look in the direction of the palace and said with a trembling tone: "In the palace... Fengtian Palace... I'm afraid something unstable is going to happen!"
"Taoist Master, be careful!"
The mother-in-law was so shocked that she almost jumped up and covered his mouth that kept opening and closing!
"Master, please tell our lady these words!"
She didn't dare to hear another word like this!
If the other party is trying to defraud money, just beat him out with a stick.
But even if he was cheating money, why would he say such words that would bring disaster to himself?
Under such circumstances, people can't help but want to believe him!
...There really is no more difficult situation than this!
The mother-in-law brought the Taoist back to the hall in shock.
The Taoist said what he had just said again. He was as calm as Xue, and his expression changed again and again.
Mrs.
She is just a woman, and the fate of the country and the common people is not something she should worry about——
But the source of this disaster must never appear in her home no matter what!
"This evil spirit is extremely resentful, and we can only do our best to suppress it. But if we want to truly resolve it, we must untie the bell and tie the bell. We must find out the reasons that gave birth to this evil spirit. Only by repaying kindness and repaying debts can we
It is hoped that the grievances will be resolved." The Taoist preached seriously.
Xue's eyes moved slightly.
"Is there another reason?"
"This is nature. Everything has a cause and effect. Even the evil spirits that harm people are not born in the world."
"Then Master, can you see the reason for this?" Xue asked slowly, looking at the Taoist with his eyes.
How come this so-called evil spirit, whose authenticity is unknown, appears in Haner's Courtyard, which has been plagued by rumors recently?
Is this a coincidence, or does someone have ulterior motives?
"I don't dare to say for sure. But since it appears here, the origin must be within your residence."
Xue's heart felt cold.
After all, she still has to lead her son...
"I haven't asked the master about his Taoist name yet. Where does it come from?" She seemed to have no intention of mentioning the topic just now.
The Taoist narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "This poor Taoist has no title and no disciple. He is just a tourist who happened to pass by here."
"According to this, Master and our Xia family are indeed destined."
There was no hint of happiness or anger in Mr.
Right now, she was in a state of confusion, and she didn't want to make any rash decisions in this mood.
And such a person is destined not to be allowed to leave the Xia family just like that.
If anything this person says today is spread, it will bring trouble to Haner and the entire Xia family.
Keeping people here temporarily is the most comprehensive and safe way.
The Taoist thought for a moment.
I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
Wu Shisun didn't tell him beforehand that he wanted to stay at Xia's house!
Can I still survive this stay?
But facing Xue's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile, she could only nod calmly.
"That's fine."
After all, if you don’t agree to stay, you will die faster!
The Taoist was invited out by the maid. Underneath his seemingly calm appearance, he actually had a shaky heart and a sobbing face.
"Madam, what should we do now?" the mother-in-law asked quietly in the hall.
Mr. Xue closed her eyes.
For most of her life, she had never wished so much that she had met a liar.
Liars are easy to get rid of.
And don’t worry about the words of liars.
After all, she shouldn't invite people into her home rashly today.
Now that it has been stained, it is a troublesome matter how to deal with it.
"When you invite this person into the house today, you must let the people below keep their mouths shut." Ms. Xue explained: "Don't let even a word of this Taoist priest's words get out."
The mother-in-law responded seriously.
"We can't let Han'er know either." Xue added specifically.
Han'er is a scholar, the most upright and open-minded, and has always disliked these baseless ghosts and gods. If he knew that she had invited a Taoist to come to his courtyard to look around, and said such words, he would definitely be offended.
Displeased.
Han'er has had enough troubles lately.
It was up to her, as a mother, to take care of these things for him.
"Yes." The mother-in-law responded and said hesitantly: "Then... Madam, do you want to discuss it with the master?"
After thinking for a moment, Xue finally nodded.
The matter could be big or small. She might not have thought it through well, so it would be more appropriate to let her husband come up with the idea.
Even though her husband would definitely blame her for inviting a Taoist priest into the house, she had never been that kind of woman who couldn't distinguish between the important and the important.
Lu's cry came from inside again, and Xue frowned in frustration.
"The wet nurse will stay and watch her personally today." She explained: "After Han'er comes back, just let him sleep in the study. You can't let him face a crazy woman."
This also prevents Mrs. Lu from talking nonsense in front of Han'er again.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely take good care of the Second Young Mistress."
Mrs. Xue nodded, stood up and left with her maid.
…
Under a curtain of rain, the sky darkened early.
Emperor Qingming came out of Yongfu Palace where Concubine Rong was staying.
Concubine Rong followed and sent it out.
Just now, the internal prison officer came to send a message, saying that Han Yan, the commander of the Jingshi Guards, had entered the palace.
