It should be him.
"This Taoist priest doesn't look easy to mess with. If you meet him next time, you'd better stay away from him, lest he figures something out for you."
"Do you really believe that he can calculate to that extent? There are many strange things about today's case. It's not the first time Su Pingshi has been an official. He confessed everything when he was caught by the Ministry of Justice. Do you believe this?"
"So what do you mean?"
The person who was talking looked around and saw that everyone else was paying attention to the Taoist priest who had gone up, and no one was paying attention to their table. He leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "It's possible that the Ministry of Justice knew that Su Pingshi had committed a crime long ago, so they colluded with the Taoist priest to set up a trap and lure Su Pingshi into it. In the end, they used the Taoist priest's mouth to pretend that it was the Taoist priest who figured it out. Think about it, if you encounter a Taoist priest like this, would you not dare to struggle anymore?"
"Then what is there to struggle about? Since people have figured this out, the man said cautiously, "You mean this is fake, and it's a trick to deceive Su Pingshi. Su Pingshi must have something wrong in his mind, so he dare not deny it."
"That's right. If this Taoist priest is really that powerful, how can the people above him stay still?"
He didn't believe that those high-ranking officials didn't have something on their hands. If the Taoist priest could really tell fortunes, those people would be in trouble and would definitely find trouble with the Taoist priest.
“…”
When Li Lezhi approached the private room, Minister Zhou had already arrived and was sitting in the main seat. When he saw Li Lezhi, he immediately stood up to greet him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sat down, and the waiter slowly brought the food over one by one.
Minister Zhou said: "Thanks to the Taoist priest, my Ministry of Justice has solved another major case." www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
"It was a coincidence."
Minister Zhou saw that Li Le only looked at the food, so he knew that he didn't want to talk too much, so he didn't continue to talk. Instead, he waited until he was full of food and wine before saying, "In a few days, it will be the emperor's birthday. I don't know what to send him. If..."
Minister Zhou originally wanted to take this opportunity to test whether Li Lezhi was the Taoist who calculated the flood, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them.
After thinking it over, since Taoist Li did not say that he was the Taoist who predicted the flood, there must be a purpose behind it. Why should he reveal this matter today? He changed the subject and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this today, let's talk about Su Pingshi's matter."
"Master Li figured out today that Su Pingshi was corrupt and accepted bribes. In the eyes of some people, it seems that Master Li and I set up a trap together. I'm afraid that group of people can't deal with me, and will attack Master Li instead."
Li Le paused for a moment, then calmly drank a sip of tea. If he stayed in the Ministry of Justice and continued to investigate the corrupt officials, some people would dislike him. After all, he was like a sword hanging over them to judge them. Who wouldn't be afraid that the sword would fall on him?
But the more trouble these people cause him and the more they come to him, the faster they will die. It would be better for them to just keep quiet and behave themselves.
If he was afraid, it was probably that those people would become desperate and use all means to take his life in order to eliminate future troubles, but he would not sit still and wait for death.
Li Le didn't respond, and Minister Zhou didn't care. He picked up the food on the table and said casually, "We arrested the people from the Dali Temple today. I think the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple will be very angry."
After saying this, Minister Zhou did not continue speaking, but frowned and said something else, "I don't know what will happen recently.
what's the weather like?,
I hope it won’t be a rainy day13_[(.)]13?13#?#?13?,
This is the Ministry of Justice?
Are there many cases that have been accumulating for many years?
There are also some new cases. If it rains, many traces will be destroyed and nothing will be left. It will be much more difficult to investigate the case and track down the murderer. Fortunately, we have Taoist Priest Li now, which can make things easier for them, but..."
Li Le just raised his eyes and looked at him.
Minister Zhou smiled and said, "Master Li doesn't look like someone who can stay in the Ministry of Justice for long." Perhaps before long, Master Li will no longer be able to hide, and His Majesty will know that there is such a powerful Taoist priest as Master Li.
"There are many corrupt officials in this world. They are not afraid of anything except being found out. You, Taoist Li, are just such a person. For this reason, that group of people will not let you stay in the Ministry of Justice for long."
Minister Zhou said this deliberately. In fact, Taoist Priest Li's ability was too great to be accommodated in a small temple in the Ministry of Justice. After some time, by the time he saw Taoist Priest Li again, he might have gone to Taibu to tell fortunes for the emperor.
Li Le just froze.
What Minister Zhou meant by this was that he would lose his iron rice bowl soon? He would lose his position?
Moreover, some corrupt officials were afraid that he would figure them out, so they joined forces to drive him out of the Ministry of Justice.
Li Le was only a little angry. What was the difference between losing his iron rice bowl and cutting off his money? Moreover, if he lost this job, he would have to find another one. Where in the world could he find a good and safe place to work for the country?
Suddenly, the rice no longer smelled good.
Li Le began to worry about his future. How about, while he was still working in the Ministry of Justice, he could set up a stall by the overpass and tell fortunes for others. That way, when he was unemployed, he would still have the income to support two apprentices?
If all else fails, he will take the initiative and count all the officials to see if there is any corruption.
Dig them out completely?
But after thinking about it, Li Lezhi felt that this matter was extremely difficult. These corrupt officials were deeply intertwined, and even Minister Zhou might not be able to catch them all. There were even some people whom he dared not touch at all.
Li Le could only sigh and do what he could.
Take them one by one and solve them one by one slowly.
During this meal, both of them seemed to be enjoying themselves, but only they themselves knew how they really enjoyed the meal.
Li Le returned home in sorrow. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a man wandering around outside his house stealthily. Judging from the material the man was wearing, it was low-key and luxurious, and it was obvious that it was not cheap stuff.
This scene was exactly the same as the last time he came back. If that person had not been a little taller than Qiu Yutai, Li Le would have thought that it was Qiu Yutai who was waiting for him.
He and his apprentice got off the carriage. When the man saw him, his eyes lit up and he took two or three steps in his direction. But then he seemed to be concerned about his apprentice and stopped there without coming over.
Li Le only looked at the bamboo hat he was wearing, thinking that the other party didn't want others to see his face and know who he was.
He said to his two disciples, "Mingli, you and Qian Xi go to Qian's house first."
After Gao Mingli and Qian Xi looked at each other, Gao Mingli left with Qian Xi.
After seeing Li Lezhi's apprentice leave, the man stepped forward and said, "Master Taoist, I heard from Censor Qiu that you are very good at fortune-telling and are a famous fortune-teller. I would like to have a fortune-teller tell me. The reward is negotiable."
"Censor Qiu?" Li Le was just surprised. What was that old man Qiu Yushi up to? It was fine with Qiu Yutai before, but now he recommended another client to him.
People also say that he is a fortune teller.
Li Le just couldn't understand?_[(.)]?▔?♂?♂???,
I'm too lazy to think so much.
Is he about to lose his stable job?
Did Qiu Yushi recommend clients to him?
On the contrary, it would allow him to earn a little more money.
"yes?,
Taoist priest, is your surname Li?" the man asked again.
Li Le just nodded.
Seeing this, the man said happily, "That's great."
Li Le only raised one finger and said, "One hundred taels for one fortune."
"..." Wasn't it ten taels for one divination before? It was ten taels, that's all. For such an expert, a hundred taels for one divination is reasonable.
After the man nodded, Li Le took him into the house, sat at the stone table in the yard, took out the tortoise shell and asked, "What do you want to calculate?"
The man looked at Li Lezhi's actions and felt that they were different from what Censor Qiu had said before. Censor Qiu said that this person could calculate everything just by counting on the fingers.
Now he took out the tortoise shell...did he find the wrong one?
Because of his concerns, the man did not say what he wanted to calculate. Li Le saw him like this and did not urge him. After all, one hundred taels for a divination was not cheap, and it was normal for the other party to hesitate.
If he wasn't going to lose his security in the future, he wouldn't have asked for such a high price.
Li Le just put away the tortoise shell. He thought that the person in front of him probably wouldn't calculate. But in the other person's eyes, it was because of his momentary suspicion that the master was displeased, and the master was unwilling to calculate for him.
The man gritted his teeth and told everything, "I suspect my son is not my son. I want to calculate whether he is my child. Here are his birth dates."
Even Censor Qiu believed in the ability of this Taoist, so what was there for him to fear? As for why he didn't go to the Taoist temples of Xuanyang Palace and Huadu Temple, it was nothing more than two words: face.
This Taoist priest from Yangzhou had just arrived in the capital. He concealed his face and came before the Taoist priest. When they met in the future, the Taoist priest might not be able to recognize him.
After all, it is not a glorious thing to doubt that your child is not your own child.
Li Le was only surprised for a moment, and then he understood why the man hesitated before. Without any delay, he picked up the tortoise shell and started calculating immediately. After the tortoise shell was finished, he secretly hid under the table to calculate.
The final result is - no.
Li Lezhi: ...
He began to worry that he might have calculated wrongly. If so, it would be a serious matter. Moreover, there was no institution to test blood relationship in ancient times. This person did not even do a blood test, but came directly to the Taoist priest for calculation. He did not want to make a big deal out of it.
Li Le was afraid that he had calculated wrong, so he calculated a few more times, but the result was still wrong. Therefore, he calculated where the man's child was, and the result came out.
Li Le just breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not mistaken, and said to the man: "No, your child is in the Lin family in Yizhou."
"What did you say?" The man never expected that the Taoist not only said that his child was not his, but also mentioned the Lin family in Yizhou. If it was somewhere else, it would be fine, but the Lin family in Yizhou was the maternal family of his first wife and also the maternal family of the child.
"Do you know who I am?" He couldn't help but ask. After asking, he felt something was wrong. This was no different from exposing his identity in front of the Taoist priest. As soon as he felt regretful, he saw the Taoist priest's confused face. How could he not see that the Taoist priest really didn't know him?
I don't know him, but I still say this
These words...
The man, Huang Jishi, looked embarrassed and frowned. He knew the young Erlang of the Lin family in Yizhou, and none of them looked like his son. Could it be that the Taoist made a mistake? Was the calculation not accurate?
Huang Jishi didn't say anything. He silently took out one hundred taels of silver, put it on the table, and hurried away.
He needs to go back and investigate carefully.
Is what this Taoist said true?
The other party left in a hurry. Li Le just watched him leave without calculating his identity. He took the one hundred taels of silver on the table and put it in his money box.
On the other hand, after Huang Geshi returned home, he was called by the housekeeper to ask where the boss had gone.
The housekeeper said: "The young master and his classmates are still out playing. 2_[(.)]2?2*?*?2?"
Huang Jishi's face turned pale when he heard this. He snorted coldly and did not ask anyone to bring the person back. The older his eldest brother got, the less he would do such things to slander his wife.
Thinking back to the past, he was also a handsome and elegant scholar who won the imperial examination, and his first wife was also the most beautiful woman in Yizhou City. Yet, they gave birth to such an ordinary child. If the child was not good-looking, they could comfort themselves that as long as the child was alive, it would be enough.
But this boss usually relies on his power to do whatever he wants outside. When they were young, they bullied Gongsun Miaoran together with Xu Ling. Now that he has grown up, he has become more and more unscrupulous. Last time, he was found hanging around in brothels, and even breaking a stick did not help.
All these things were enough to make him so angry that he resigned from his job immediately.
Let this kid have a taste of what it feels like to be bullied by others.
Now, after realizing that the child was really not from his Huang family, Huang Jishi felt a little relieved.
When his first wife died, he promised her that he would protect the child for the rest of her life. But if he continued to protect such a bad boy, his ancestors would be so angry that they would lift the coffin and point at his nose and curse him.
Huang Jishi didn't want to think about it anymore, so he wrote a letter to the Lin family in Yizhou and sent someone to the Lin family in Yizhou to check to see if there was any child who looked like him or like his first wife.
It was only when he ordered people to check that Huang Jishi remembered that he had missed something. The child born to his first wife might not be a boy, but might also be a girl.
Huang Geshi slapped his head in annoyance. He forgot to ask which Taoist priest the gender of the child.
Day 2
After Li Lezhi woke up, he got up, washed and went to report for duty. No matter if he would lose his iron rice bowl in the end, he still had his job now, so he had to go. Besides, there might not be so many corrupt officials, and they might not be able to drive him out of the Ministry of Justice even if they joined forces.
Unless the corrupt person is the Minister of Justice or the Right Prime Minister, these two people can drive him out with a single order.
When Li Le arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he saw that people passing by couldn't help but look at him, as if they were looking at a monkey in a zoo.
Li Le just remained silent.
For a person like him who suffers from social anxiety, this kind of gaze is a bit too much to bear.
Li Le had no choice but to quicken his pace and walk towards Bibusi. Once he got to his small office, he would be able to live in peace.
When she passed by another room, she saw people inside talking about what happened two days ago. They said that the man who predicted that something bad would happen had broken his hand while catching a thief. He was seriously injured. She also heard them talking about what happened yesterday. Before they could finish talking, the people inside saw him and stopped talking.
I feel like I'm isolated by a room full of people.
Li Le couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a smile. This kind of isolation is quite good. He doesn't have to deal with colleagues after get off work.
Li Le had just sat down for a short while.
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice came to the door and said, "Master Li, you are really capable. After hearing about your deeds, the Ministry of Justice wants you to come over and help them calculate.?[(.)]?▏?.の.の??"
Li Le just thought about his responsibilities, which were within his job scope, and asked, "Should I go there now?"
"There's no rush. When the Ministry of Justice sends someone to invite you, it won't be too late to go then, right?"
Bibu Langzhongdao.
Li Le just nodded.
But Shi Tou Novel Network looked at him with a puzzled look before he left after finishing his words.
The doctor hesitated. Seeing that Li Le was only looking at him, he hesitated for a moment, but was still very curious and asked, "Master Li, can you tell me the truth? Did you really figure out the Su Ping incident?"
No one is not curious about this.
Who told them that the Ministry of Justice actually found 50,000 taels of silver in Su Pingshi's house? If Su Pingshi hadn't been scared, it would have been far from easy for them to find out where the 50,000 taels of silver were hidden.
Who would have thought that the key to open the secret room was the hairpin worn on Su Pingshi's head.
If it weren't for Taoist Priest Li, it would have taken a lot of effort for them to find evidence and pry open Su Pingshi's mouth.
What's more, the Dali Temple had lost such a great deal of face that the doctor of the Bibu Department was very happy just thinking about it.
Li Le just thought that everyone was curious about him because of this, so he waved his hand and said, "I didn't calculate it, I guessed it."
Bibu Langzhong: ...
Let me tell you whether I believe what you said, Taoist Li.
If he could guess this and also guess that the amount of silver was 50,000 taels, he would also like to have this ability.
But this also shows in another way that this matter was indeed calculated by Taoist Li. If he hadn't calculated it, who would have known it.
The doctor of the Bibu Department inexplicably thought of the case that happened a few months ago, which was also exposed suddenly. However, the person who gave the order was His Majesty, and His Majesty got the evidence without knowing it. But this time, it was Taoist Li who calculated it.
After thinking about Li Daochang, Bibu Langzhong wanted to make friends with him, but he saw that Li Daochang was indifferent to fame and wealth, which was not something that ordinary people like them could get involved in, so Bibu Langzhong did not cross that line. He just followed the instructions of Minister Zhou and treated Li Le a little better.
It was not until lunchtime that Li Lezhi realized how powerful he was after he figured out the case. Compared to before, he was like a celebrity wherever he went. Even when he was eating, people sat far away from him, forming a vacuum zone.
That would have been fine, but when the group was eating, they would look in his direction from time to time.
When he looked over, he immediately looked away. Regarding these people's concerns, Li Le could only sigh in his heart.
"They are respectful and curious about your abilities."
Li Le just looked up and saw the girl who said she was a coroner last time. The girl said, "You read the fortune the day before yesterday and the things you predicted came true. They were curious about your ability yesterday. Who would have thought that you, Taoist priest, directly predicted that the people from the Dali Temple would be put in the prison cell of the Ministry of Justice. They respect your ability, but are also curious whether you can really predict everything."
"...I can only do simple calculations, I don't have any special skills," Li Le said, "Your peach blossom calamity is still there, in another three or five days,
"On the day of the wedding, a matchmaker came to propose marriage. The other party's conditions are good, but you'd better not accept it."
"Um?"
Although the girl was curious, she nodded and said, "I'll make a note of it. Thank you, Taoist Priest."
Li Le felt relieved when he saw that she had listened to him.
Who told him to find out the trick when he was calculating just now? I just don’t know whether the government will take care of this matter.
It shouldn't matter. It's not considered illegal in modern times. After all, no one steals corpses for ghost marriages.
It’s just that the matchmaker was so unkind.
But he couldn't control such things.
Li Lezhi stayed in the Ministry of Justice for a while. When the Ministry of Justice asked him to help, he went there to do some calculations for them.
When it was time to get off work, he left the Ministry of Justice, but was stopped by someone who asked, "Are you Taoist Li Lezhi?"
"Yes," Li Le just turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I am the chief official of Prince Duan's Mansion. Our prince wants to see the Taoist priest."
Li Le was just surprised. He couldn't believe that he was so famous that even the prince wanted to meet him. After secretly calculating, he confirmed that the person in front of him was the chief official of Prince Duan's mansion. A chief official of a prince's mansion, not to mention the Prince Duan behind him, just based on his rank, he was not someone he could refuse.
Li Le just pursed his lips and had to get on the carriage to Prince Duan's Mansion. On the way, he told himself a fortune and concluded that nothing big would happen and nothing bad would happen to him, so he felt relieved.
Feeling a little worried, Li Le just thought about what Prince Duan wanted to see him about, and it turned out that Prince Duan just wanted to see him as he had heard from the official.
Li Lezhi: ...
Okay, Your Majesty, as long as you are happy.
Li Le was completely relieved and not afraid at all. After the carriage arrived, he followed the official into the palace.
It was around four or five in the afternoon. After Li Le was led to the hall, he sat on a chair below and waited for Prince Duan to appear.
But until he had changed three cups of tea and the sky outside gradually darkened, Li Lezhi still didn't see Prince Duan.
But without Prince Duan's consent, he couldn't leave easily. Li Le just lowered his eyes and looked at the patterns on his clothes, and began to think about what Prince Duan meant.
Invited him to come and meet him, but he never met him? Could it be that Prince Duan was secretly observing him?
When the palace was full of lanterns, Prince Duan had not yet appeared. Another maid stepped forward and said, "Master, the prince is busy with official duties and has not yet returned home."
"Okay, then I'll go back first." After being left out for several hours and Prince Duan not being around, Li Le just stood up and said goodbye.
When leaving, he followed closely behind the maid.
After he left, Prince Duan, who had not yet returned to his palace, walked out of his study, looked in the direction where Li Lezhi had left, and asked the official, "What do you think of him?"
The chief official knew who the prince was talking about. He said, "He is still young, but calm and reserved. If the prince can get his help, he will be even more powerful."
"Really?" Prince Duan said with a smile, "I am curious about his fortune-telling skills. If he really has some skills, it would be a pity that I can't use them."
The official did not respond.
Prince Duan looked at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, thought of his sickly brother, and said slowly: "Send a few people to test him. If he really has the ability..."
"It's better not to bother with him."
It is a pity for a Taoist priest who is good at fortune-telling to die. What is even more regrettable is that
Died in their internal strife in Daliang?
Prince Duan, think about it?
Or is it not appropriate enough?
If he could ascend to that throne,
Compared to those mediocre Taoists, this one must be reused.
I wonder how his other brothers will treat this Taoist priest.
"Yes," the official withdrew.
Li Lezhi didn't know what Prince Duan was thinking yet, nor did he know that his life and death just depended on the thoughts of his superior. He looked at the darkening sky outside, touched his hungry stomach, and felt a lot of resentment towards Prince Duan in his heart.
Fortunately, he had prepared some noodles at home so he could cook them when he got home.
Li Lezhi returned home. He originally thought that his apprentices had already gone to bed, but he didn't expect that the two were still waiting for him in the yard of his home. He looked at the two figures dozing off at the stone table.
Li Le had mixed feelings. Finally, he walked up to the two men and patted them gently on the shoulders.
Gao Mingli suddenly woke up, and when he saw Li Lezhi, he said in surprise: "Master, you are back." He chattered: "Master, have you eaten? I have warmed up some food in the kitchen. I will go get it for you now."
Gao Mingli left, Qian Xi looked at Li Le and said, "Master."
"Um."
"Minister Zhou sent someone to say that Master was invited to Prince Duan's Mansion," Qian Xi said with a serious expression.
"yes."
Qian Xi asked: "Did Prince Duan say anything?"
Li Le just shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Prince Duan."
"..." Qian Xi glanced in the direction of the kitchen and said in short, "Master, in the past two years, the Crown Prince and Prince Duan have been fighting secretly."
Li Lezhi: “…”
So he was almost involved in the fight for the crown prince? If the crown prince thought he was on the side of Prince Duan, Li Le could only imagine that even if he was a Taoist priest, he would still be cannon fodder in the fight between the two.
He not only wants to become famous, but also learn how to balance water? Or should he surrender to the emperor?
However, there is one thing he cannot get the emperor's attention, unless he can calculate something that will make the emperor notice him, but this kind of thing is not something that can be calculated just by wanting to.
That's all.
Does he still have to consider which officials are on the prince's team and which are on Prince Duan's team? He should be careful not to wipe out one side at once and be hated by the other side?
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.
Li Lezhi was in a very good mood. After eating the meal that his apprentice had warmed up for him, Li Lezhi lay on the bed and began to think about his way out.
He will ask Minister Zhou tomorrow where else a Taoist priest can go to receive a salary from the state, besides serving in the Ministry of Justice. If an examination is required, he can just take it.
The emperor always needs someone to calculate auspicious events, so he was admitted to that department to stay away from the fight for the crown prince.
Qujiang.
Although it was late at night, the ships heading to the capital did not stop because of the night. At this time, at the Qujiang Ferry, a large ship was slowly approaching the shore. The people on the boat were holding lanterns in their hands, and the leader was a young man. If Li Le was only here, he would definitely recognize that this was Gongsun Miaoran, whom he had dealt with before.
Since Gongsun Miaoran learned that Taoist Li was not dead and had come to the capital, he immediately traveled day and night and finally arrived in the capital late this night.
The thought of meeting Taoist Li made Gongsun Miaoran so excited that even his sleepiness was driven away. The only pity was that it was already late at night and he could not go to meet Taoist Li and could only wait until tomorrow.
In this regard, Gongsun Miaoran could only suppress the excitement in his heart.
. ?
When the boat stopped at the shore, he immediately took everyone off the boat. As it was late at night, they could only walk back to the prime minister's residence.
?Want to read Feng Chui Lin An's "I am Ordinary, but I Am Worshipped as a National Master"? Please remember the domain name [(.)]?╬?╬?
When walking on the street, he was questioned by Youfufeng's people. Fortunately, people in the capital had not forgotten Gongsun Miaoran's face. ?
Someone in Youfufeng happened to know him, and was somewhat surprised to see him return to the capital. He also wondered if he would go to Qingzhou after returning to the capital. ?
The man thought of Xu Ling and Huang Ruo, and felt that the capital would become lively again in the future.
Gongsun Miaoran returned to the prime minister's residence. The owner of the residence had already gone to bed. When he suddenly heard that he would come, he was still a little bit unconvinced. The right prime minister, who usually had great power in the court, walked out wearing only a thin coat.
When he really saw Gongsun Miaoran, his eyes slightly reddened. He patted his shoulder and said, "It's good that you're back. Lao Fu, go ask the people in the kitchen to make a meal."
"Yes," the man called Lao Fu also watched this scene happily and hurried down to arrange people.
Gongsun Miaoran said, "Aunt, why don't you wear more clothes? It's cold at night. Don't catch a cold. Otherwise, His Majesty will blame me if he finds out."
"You, you're still blaming me. You came back in such a hurry, but you didn't even write a letter."
"I have something important to tell you this time." Gongsun Miaoran glanced around and then said, "Ah Weng, please put on a few more clothes first, and I will go to your study to talk."
When Gongsun Miaoran mentioned the study, Gongsun Gu raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say much. He went back to the house, changed into a cloak and walked towards his study. He wanted to see what big things his good grandson could talk to him about.
"Aunt, that's exactly what happened," Gongsun Miaoran said. Gongsun Gu was slightly shocked and stood there in a daze.
When he found out what his good grandson said, was it true that he stood up suddenly? "
The Taoist priest was not dead and came to the capital!
The person is still alive!
Gongsun Gu could not help laughing and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried. God bless Daliang.
When he first learned that the Taoist priest had died, he felt extremely sorry. They all knew how precious a Taoist priest who could calculate to that level was. Even Xuan Yangzi might not be able to calculate that accurately.
He was no less despicable than the legendary Tian Yanzi. Who could have thought that such a Taoist would die at the hands of Zhao State's spies.
At that time he felt regretful and hated Zhao State very much.
Now, when he suddenly learned that the Taoist priest was not dead, but an imposter, how could Gongsun Gu not be happy?
What he didn't expect was that the Taoist had already figured this out when Miaoran went to see him. He was truly an expert as he could have figured this out a month in advance.
However, what puzzled Gongsun Gu was that, since the Taoist had figured out this matter, why did he never make it public? Could it be that the Taoist had already figured out the matter of Zhao State’s spy?
Gongsun Gu lowered his brows in deep thought, then said to Gongsun Miaoran, "Don't make this known to anyone."
Now, Jin Guo is still in the capital. If they knew that the Taoist priest was not dead, it would easily cause trouble and spread to Zhao Guo. Even if they were under the emperor's feet, they might not be able to stop all the assassinations.
What's more, since that master hasn't stepped forward yet, there must be some crisis that they don't know about yet. After he reported this to His Majesty, he arranged for secret guards to guard the Taoist priest, and let nature take its course as the rest.
I am afraid that my grandson will not understand the deep meaning.
Gongsun Gu told him his guess and told him not to reveal it.
Gongsun Miaoran also nodded seriously.
After learning about this, Gongsun Gu went to the palace at night and told His Majesty everything.
When Emperor Zhao heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Is what you said true, sir?"
Gongsun Gu nodded and smiled, "This matter was also Miao Ran. He had seen the Taoist priest. Miao Ran also went to Da'an County to confirm that the person who died was not the Taoist priest who calculated the flood."
"Okay, okay, Miaoran is indeed a lucky child, ?_[(.)]*?*???"
Emperor Zhao also knew about Gongsun Miaoran's life since childhood. Although this child was not extremely smart, he was definitely the most blessed one. Now, it was Miaoran who met the Taoist priest and learned about the Qingzhou flood from the Taoist priest. It was really a matter of time and fate.
Emperor Zhao was somewhat envious. The Gongsun family had produced an extraordinary descendant, but his son was not bad either. Moreover, Miaoran, this lucky boy, would assist his son and would definitely help Daliang move one step closer.
Emperor Zhao did not think any further about this matter. What was more important was to know the Taoist's name and where he lived now.
Then he asked, "Where is that Taoist now?"
If others suddenly learned of the news and had not investigated, they would naturally not know where the Taoist was. But it happened that Gongsun Gu was in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and nothing in the Ministry of Justice escaped his eyes. He naturally knew that Minister Zhou had arranged for a Taoist to work in the Ministry of Justice, and that Minister Zhou was the one who went to Yangzhou to investigate the case. Secondly, Gongsun Gu had also heard about Su Ping's corruption case, which was related to the Taoist. If it were just this one point, Gongsun Gu could not be sure that it was the Taoist.
But when the two things come together, this capable Taoist must be the Taoist priest in Yangzhou, the one his grandson Miaoran met.
Gongsun Gu then told Emperor Zhao in detail what had happened recently, especially the case of Su Ping.
Emperor Zhao smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I just saw the report from the Ministry of Justice today. It turns out that Taoist Li was also involved in this case. It would be a waste of his talent to file it with the Ministry of Justice."
Such a powerful Taoist priest should be enshrined in the temple and help him to calculate national affairs. However, since the Taoist priest is unwilling to stand up and only wants to mingle among the people, he cannot but consider the wishes of others.
What's more, those countries on the border of Daliang are not at peace. It won't be too late to invite Taoist Li to the worship hall after clearing out the spies ambushing in Daliang.
After Emperor Zhao sent people to investigate where Li Lezhi lived, he arranged for secret guards to protect his safety.
However, during this investigation, it was discovered that Prince Duan had asked Taoist Li to come for a follow-up. Knowing that his third son had no intention of killing Taoist Li because of his abilities, Emperor Zhao nodded secretly and burned the paper.
Since Gongsun Gu entered the palace at night, many people have been unable to sleep after knowing it, fearing that something unexpected would happen during the night. Fortunately, nothing happened.
They heaved a sigh of relief and went to court as usual. All this had nothing to do with Li Lezhi, and he didn't need to go to work on time. When he woke up, it was already noon.
He didn't know that because of his incident last night, the officials in the capital had not slept well. When he washed up and went to the Ministry of Justice to report for duty, he saw that the doctor's eyes were darker than usual, with red bloodshot under his eyes, and he looked like he had not slept.
"Master Li, you are here." The doctor squinted his eyes and looked like he was about to fall asleep. He forced himself to stay awake and asked in a low voice, "Master Li, I heard a bird call today. Something bad must have happened. Can you calculate whether there will be any major events in the capital in the near future?"
"Okay," Li Le didn't think that anything big would happen in the capital, unless another corrupt official was brought down. He just made a few calculations.
His fingers slowly paused, and then he looked at the doctor and asked, "Sir, what bird is singing at your door? It's quite effective."
