Seeing Tong Leren like this, the guard was worried that things would be delayed, so he had to wave his hand to signal another guard to go back to the mansion for instructions.
A moment later, County Magistrate Li arrived.
"Master, I am so rude. Could you please go to a secluded house? My son's condition is a little strange. Please go and take a look. No matter how much money is, it's not a problem."
As soon as he arrived, he saw Tong Le Ren sitting cross-legged with great dignity, bowed respectfully and said.
After hearing this, Tong Leren waited for a while, slowly opened his eyes, stroked his beard on his chin, frowned, and stared at County Magistrate Li for a long time.
"Donor, I don't set up a stall for money."
County Magistrate Li also realized that what he said was ambiguous and quickly apologized.
"Master, I said something wrong..."
Before he could finish his explanation, Tong Leren suddenly counted on his fingers and interrupted him.
"Donor, your forehead is dark, there may be disaster in the near future."
He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but quickly responded.
"Master, do you have any way to crack this?"
"Well, well, you're a good official who serves the people. I'll go take a look today to see how your son is doing."
Tong Le Ren answered the question irrelevantly and stood up.
County Magistrate Li looked at the mysterious Tong Leren and decided to invite him over to take a look.
"Master, please come this way."
Tong Leren looked at the carriage that the guards brought over and frowned reluctantly.
"Donor, I can just walk."
He simply packed up the things on his stall, carried the fortune-telling flag, and walked towards the southwest.
Seeing Tong Leren walking in the right direction without knowing the destination, County Magistrate Li began to be convinced. He immediately waved his hand to refuse the carriage and chose to walk beside him.
"Master, have you seen anything? Can my son be saved?"
He looked at the silent walking Tong Leren and asked after hesitating for a moment.
When Tong Le Ren heard this, he stroked his beard and acted mysterious.
"I have to see your son first before I can make a conclusion."
Soon they arrived at a small but exquisite courtyard.
Magistrate Li looked at Tong Leren, who was standing at the door fiddling with an abacus, and began to explain what had happened recently.
"Master, my son brought home a singing girl two months ago. Since then, he has been staying indoors all day. The servants who are taking care of him have noticed that his complexion is getting worse day by day, and his body is also getting weaker."
He said with a frown and a low voice.
"Now that I've come here, he still keeps the door closed and threatens to kill himself if I break in. Is he under the spell of some demon? He wasn't like this before."
County Magistrate Li felt a little sad when he thought about his eldest son who used to be by his side to handle official business and now became like this.
When Tong Le Ren heard these rumors that he had known for a long time, his expression remained indifferent. He did not speak, but just kept his eyes down and fiddled with the star chart for a while before speaking.
"This house is indeed quite gloomy."
After he said that, he stepped in first.
After entering the yard, he walked around for a while in a serious manner, counting on his fingers.
"I have to go in and take a look."
After a moment he stopped and looked at Magistrate Li.
"Can--"
Magistrate Li looked at Tong Leren who had made such a decision, and his expression seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Don't worry, benefactor. I won't harm your life."
"Then I'll trouble you, Taoist priest."
He looked at the confident Tong Le Ren and decided to believe him for the time being.
After he discovered what happened to his eldest son, he not only did not allow them in, but allowed his personal servants to go in and deliver meals.
I think it wouldn't affect anything if Tong Leren was stopped.
After thinking it over, he looked at Tong Leren's back as he left without stopping him.
Tong Leren slowly approached the wing room with a whisk in his hand.
He looked so calm from behind, but not from the front.
He turned his eyes and looked at the hint given by Tan Manxing.
Didn't they say they would release a little green worm? Why didn't he see it?
Fortunately, just as he was a few steps closer to the door, a small green insect finally flew in front of him.
He knew that Tan Manxing had done it.
Standing at the door, she chanted "Mommy, Mommy" a few times to coax him, swept a few times with a whisk, and whispered the fortune-telling words in her hand while turning the eight trigrams.
Then he took out a yellow talisman and used a little trick to light it in his hand.
He drew a symbol on the ground with the yellow talisman, then nodded calmly to County Magistrate Li and opened the door.
County Magistrate Li, who was standing by, was stunned by his move. Looking into the house, he could not hear the expected screaming and smashing sounds.
The original doubts completely disappeared.
Tong Leren entered the house and found that County Magistrate Li wanted to follow him in, so he reached out to stop him in time.
"Donor, you just wait outside."
Magistrate Li looked at his eldest son who was sitting quietly at the table reading a book, suppressed his excitement, nodded and did not follow.
The door was not closed tightly, so he didn't dare to get too close for fear of disturbing Tong Le Ren, but he was also worried about Li Da's situation. In the end, he stood at a distance and secretly peeked at what was happening inside.
If anything goes wrong they rush in.
After Tong Le Ren came in, he seemed to be looking at Master Li who was reading a book.
In fact, he was desperately trying to signal to Tan Manxing who was hiding in the dark what was going on with his eyes.
Why is Mr. Li not moving at all and not reading?!
"He's also been poisoned by a love poison, and will subconsciously fall in love with the person who poisoned him."
Tong Leren has not yet realized the importance of the word "also".
He asked in the same low voice.
"What about the singer?"
He looked around the room but didn't see the third figure.
"He jumped out the window and escaped."
Tan Manxing stood in the blind spot and continued to explain softly.
"The love poison isn't difficult to cure. I'll use the insects I brought with me to draw it out. He'll be healed in a few days. Once you're done here, meet us in the suburbs."
After saying what he needed to say, Tan Manxing withdrew the silver needle that had pierced the back of the eldest master's head and flew out of the window.
Tong Leren watched Tan Manxing leave without having time to complain. Seeing that Master Li, who had just been reading a book, was about to fall down, he quickly took out a paper talisman and twirled it over his head a few times.
"Malmalalal! Broken!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Li fell on the table.
County Magistrate Li at the door couldn't help but rush in when he saw the situation.
"Master, how is my son?"
"Don't worry, benefactor. He's been bewitched by a demon. I'll drive away the love ghost now. He'll recover after two days of lying down."
Tong Le Ren stroked his beard and spoke in a profound manner.
"Young Master Ling is still very weak. Do not let outsiders get close to him, lest the love ghost return."
"Well done, well done. This matter is now settled. I will take my leave."
After giving brief instructions, he picked up the flag beside him and left.
County Magistrate Li was anxious, and when he tried to stop Tong Le Ren, he had already disappeared at the door.
Tong Leren left slowly, walked out of the door, looked back and saw that no one was following him, and immediately ran away.
The waiter who was chasing him didn't see the direction he went.
After dealing with County Magistrate Li and his men, Tong Leren went to the street and walked around a few times. When he appeared, he was no longer wearing the Taoist robe.
