129 The Ruthless

Sensing Xia Han's gaze, Li Ji spoke as expected.

"This theory of relying on dreams is quite strange."

Li Ji glanced at the thin woman kneeling in the hall, then looked at Xia Han, and said with a half-smile: "But since this girl has made such an opening, if she doesn't check it out, I don't know what kind of weird news will be spread in the future."

The rumors are also extremely bad for the reputation of Second Young Master Xia."

Xia Han's eyes darkened.

He didn't know whether Li Ji said such words because he was really thinking about his reputation, or whether the other party's purpose of coming today was different from what everyone thought...

But no matter which one it is, the other party's words will inevitably push him into the worst situation.

"Eunuch Li's good intentions are appreciated by the subordinates. But for a vague theory of dreaming, if you mobilize people like this, it will definitely arouse a lot of discussion. I'm afraid there is something wrong with making such a fuss." Xia Han spoke, his tone still calm.

As he said that, he looked at Xu Ying: "If Miss Xu has other evidence, just bring it out. If you don't, please forgive Xia for being such an unreasonable mess."

Xu Ying sneered and asked: "What, are you feeling guilty?"

It's really rare to see this beast looking anxious.

Xia Han pursed his lips with cold eyes for a moment, and saluted Ji Dong and Li Ji: "Rumors are spreading in the city right now, and I really have no intention of spreading any more rumors at this juncture."

Ji Dong understood.

This is talking about the incident where Fengtian Temple was struck by lightning last night...

Li Ji always had a faint smile on his face.

The second son of the Xia family is right to the point.

If it weren't for the rumors that were spreading in the city right now, he wouldn't have come out of the palace in person.

Besides, there is a saying that goes well, if you want to suppress rumors, the best way is to cause a bigger incident to divert the attention of the world.

"Xia Hanlin is worrying too much. This move is just to clear Xia Hanlin's name. After all, the result is here. It's better to block it than to block it." Li Ji said with a smile.

Hearing his insistence, Xia Han's heart sank slightly.

Just when he was about to say something more, he heard Li Ji say in a gentle tone: "Our family came here today in accordance with the imperial edict, for the sake of fairness and justice. We must not be unclear about anything. We will do it later."

A place that makes people think a lot.”

This is what it means to move out of the emperor.

The uneasiness in Xia Han's heart gradually amplified, but all he could say on his face was calm and honest: "In that case, everything depends on Eunuch Li and Master Ji."

Li Ji smiled and nodded, looked at Ji Dong and said, "Then Master Lao Ji will arrange for people to go to Xia Mansion to check."

Ji Dong, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, was at a loss.

...Why does he feel like he can’t understand the trend?

But as a tool man, he obviously had no choice but to nod and cooperate.

After Ji Dong ordered the people to come out, Li Ji also straightened his sleeves, stood up, and said in a very casual tone: "Everyone is fine, let's go and have a look."

Li Ji actually wants to go there in person?

What is this person’s plan for leaving the palace today?

Xia Han's heart was stirred up again.

He wanted to see something from the big eunuch's face, but except for the faintest smile, there was no emotion at all.

As Li Ji and his entourage left the Yamen with a group of officials, the crowd of onlookers became increasingly restless.

I really didn’t realize that the eunuchs in the palace also liked to watch the fun! They actually took the lead and went to Xia’s house!

Some people stayed in the Yamen to wait for news, while others followed in the direction of Xia Mansion.

Jingya and Xia Mansion were not close together. As the people discussed along the way, more and more people knew about this matter.

"Lao Li, what's wrong? What's new?"

A middle-aged man grabbed a familiar person and asked eagerly.

"Tsk, you haven't heard yet!" The other party quickly recounted what happened in the yamen.

The man was so shocked that he picked up the child beside him and put it in his arms, and quickly joined the crowd.

What's going on lately? Lively events are happening one after another. If I'm not paying attention, I almost miss them all!

It was all because of the fire that broke out in the direction of the palace last night. He followed a group of like-minded friends to discuss it all night, and didn't go to bed until dawn - listening to the excitement was also physically demanding!



In Xia Mansion, Xia Tingzhen was sitting in the hall, listening to the Taoist in front of him.

The Taoist has reiterated what he said yesterday.

Facing the most powerful ministers in the current dynasty, the tension in Taoist people's hearts increased again.

If he hadn't always reminded himself that he was leaning against the mighty Wu family, it would have been possible for him to collapse and faint on the spot.

"Master... please come up with an idea quickly," Ms. Xue urged from the side.

Just now, the family received news that His Majesty actually sent Li Ji to attend the review... Even the master had no idea about this before!

Changes are coming one after another, what on earth is going on?

"Master Youlao's methods can drive away evil spirits."

Xia Tingzhen put down the tea cup in her hand, looked at the Taoist and said.

"But..." The Taoist hesitated for a moment and then said: "If you want to expel these evil spirits, in addition to using the method of poor Taoism, you also need to find out the cause and effect afterwards, so that you can truly eliminate this debt."

"I already understand." Xia Tingzhen said: "If you have a debt, you must repay the debt. Karma will repay you. This is how it should be -"

Mr. Xue was stunned after hearing this.

Master, what does this mean?

It’s hard to tell what is under the rockery, and if someone is willing to intervene in this so-called cause and effect, can it really be found out?

The Taoist lowered his eyes and said: "Before doing the method, the rockery must be removed so that the things underneath can be seen from the sky again."

"Summer breeze."

Xia Tingzhen called an attendant who was guarding outside the hall, and calmly ordered: "Summon ten guards immediately to follow this master."

The follower responded with his correct color.

Before the Taoist turned around and left the front hall, he glanced at Xia Tingzhen without leaving any trace, and said to himself in his heart - this is a ruthless person.

Seeing the Taoist disappear, Mr. Xue could not hide his uneasiness and asked in a low voice: "What is the master's plan now?"

"Do you think there is any other choice?" Xia Tingzhen asked coldly.

Xue's face suddenly tightened.

What do you mean, sir?

Xia Tingzhen looked at her and sneered: "The evil spirit is here, and you have left this man at home - I will definitely learn about this when I return from the palace this morning. The reason why Fengtian Palace was struck by lightning last night is my fault.

I have seen it with my own eyes! If I do nothing at this moment, or try to cover it up... In this case, what do you think the Xia family will end up with afterwards?"

Xue's pupils shrank.

"Master is saying...the emperor...already knows?"

How can this be?!

She was afraid that this matter would be leaked, so she detained the Taoist priest in the house... How did the news leak out?!
