God has his own plans, and man has his own worries.

The rumor that the Da Qi Palace was haunted had spread unknowingly.

What about the female voices singing at night and the jumping palace guards?

There are also some craftsmen who confidently testified that there seemed to be fewer secret mechanisms set up in the imperial city.

What these craftsmen said was not as shocking as the women's chanting voices and the jumping guards.

But these people soon disappeared, which aroused a lot of suspicion.

As the rumors intensified, shocking news came from the court.

Move the capital to Luoyang!

The court acted very quickly. Even when the news reached Jiange County, the team moving the capital had already traveled halfway.

Yaoshan Town Magistrate Xia Tie personally visited Xu Meng, the head of the Xu clan, hoping to discuss this matter...

Because Xia Tie had made great contributions in identifying talents in Helue Town, he was transferred to Yaoshan Town after the death of Zhong Shubai, the county magistrate of Raoshan Town.

After all, Yaoshan Town is richer, and Xia Tie has been promoted half a level.

This matter is of great importance. Xia Tie no longer cares about the charge of colluding with the powerful people in the county, and Xu family certainly does not care about the trouble of the patriarch's illness.

The housekeeper, who had been waiting here for a long time, welcomed Xia Tie into the Xu family's gate the moment he saw him.

Contrary to Xie Yunhua's previous guess, Xu Meng was really sick and could hardly move.

Otherwise, why didn't the county magistrate Wang Dong, who regarded the powerful as tigers, take the opportunity to dismiss him from office, but instead granted Xu Meng a long vacation?

A sick tiger is not scary, but if you appoint another captain, who knows if he will become another tiger?

Even from a distance, Xia Tie could hear Xu Meng's painful cries.

He asked with a frown.

"What does the doctor say about Captain Xu's illness?"

Seeing that there was no one around, the butler whispered.

"Even the doctor Bian Que is helpless against this disease. Where does the disease come from..."

As he spoke, the butler pointed to the ground.

Everyone in Jiange County knows that there is a underworld underground!

Xia Tie gasped.

"How did the clan leader offend the Emperor of Fengdu? The Emperor is an easygoing person and would never do this!"

He knew Kong Hanan. Their relationship wasn't good, but it was definitely not bad.

Xu Meng actually provoked Kong Hanan to punish him, and it has been more than half a year and he still hasn't recovered. Xia Tie began to think about whether it was right or wrong to step into the Xu family's door today.

The butler whispered.

"How dare our family offend the emperor? Mainly because..."

While leading the way, the housekeeper whispered about the haunted Xu family.

Because this matter is confidential, ordinary servants cannot know about it, but Xia Tie, who secretly cooperates with Xu, doesn't care.

Occasionally, the butler met guards and servants along the way, but he remained silent until they passed by before continuing.

After speaking in this intermittent manner, he finally came to the end.

"That female ghost is still harboring resentment, and she's married to General Bai Wuchang of the underworld. She's determined to take the master's life, which is a real problem."

"Finally, under the Emperor's persuasion, the female ghost finally gave in and took two pieces of flesh from my clan leader's back as punishment... General Bai Wuchang said that it was only temporarily 'borrowed' and would be returned after the female ghost calmed down."

This involved other people's family affairs, so Xia Tie was very polite and did not comment.

It is impossible to determine how the female ghost was formed. Back then, Xu forced the other person to be extremely resentful, and even after so many years, the resentment has not dissipated, which shows how wronged she was.

He came to form an alliance, not to overturn the verdict of a woman who happened a hundred years ago.

However, he did realize something.

No wonder Xu had invited Qiao Daoling to come and treat her illnesses many times before...

It turns out that this disease is related to ghosts in the underworld.

Fortunately, the master bedroom was right in front of him, Xia Tie bowed and said.

"Thank you, sir, for bearing this great punishment..."

"I'll go in first!"

After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked in. A cold air hit him in the face.

The cold and gloomy atmosphere was understandable, after all, the master bedroom had been haunted, and the injuries were caused by the evil spirit.

Xia Tie looked again and saw a big bed in the room.

Xu Meng was lying on the bed with two hideous scars on his back.

It looks very much like the marks left by the serious criminals in the prison cell after their scapula was pierced.

As we all know, if the scapula is pierced, the person will lose his strength and will be basically useless.

No wonder, no wonder...

Xia Tie sighed, and seeing that Xu Meng was about to stand up to salute, he hurried forward to support him.

"Captain, there's no need to do this. Just rest like this."

After comforting Xu Meng, Xia Tie sat on a stool nearby.

"Captain, I won't waste any more time and disturb your rest. Let me get straight to the point."

"Do you have any opinion on the imperial court's relocation of the capital?"

Xu Meng struggled again and bowed to the northeast.

"The Grand Master's calculations are brilliant, and His Majesty is wise!"

Xu Meng certainly knew that simple flattery was not enough to convince the county magistrate in front of him, so he continued.

"From the perspective of our Middle-earth, Luoyang is located in the center of the world. Military-wise, it is far superior to Linzi. By establishing our capital here, we can control the east and intimidate the south. We can also use it to connect with the four directions, so as not to be out of reach of other regions."

"Looking at the topography of Luoyi, it is bordered by Mangshan in the north, Songshan in the east, Jishan in the southeast, Waifangshan in the south, Xiong'ershan in the southwest, Xiaoshan in the west, and Zhongtiaoshan in the northwest. The Yihe and Luohe rivers converge here, earning it the nickname "Six Rivers Converging" and making water transportation extremely convenient."

"The mountains and rivers are under our rule, and the style is the best in the world!"

"If someone attacks, we only need to hold the pass between the mountains, and one man can hold the pass, and ten thousand men cannot break through!"

"Moreover, this was the former capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Our Great Qi, upholding the Zhou aspirations and establishing our capital here, can also comply with the will of heaven!"
