Wishful Things

Sensing Xia Han's gaze, Li Ji opened his mouth as expected.

"It's strange to talk about dreams."

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 made such a statement, if you don't check it out, I don't know how weird it will be in the future. The rumors are extremely bad for Second Young Master Xia's reputation."

Xia Han's eyes darkened.

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

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

"Eunuch Li's kindness, the lower officials appreciate it. But for an illusory theory of entrusting a dream, if you mobilize people like this, it will definitely cause a lot of discussion. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to make such a big fuss." Xia Han said, his tone still calm.

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Ying: "Miss Xu, if you have any other evidence, just show it. If not, please forgive Xia for not having anything to accompany me."

Xu Ying sneered and asked, "Why, are you guilty?"

It's really rare to see this beast anxious.

Xia Han pursed her lips coldly for a moment, and saluted Ji Dong and Li Ji: "Rumours are spreading everywhere in the city, and I really don't intend to spread rumors at this juncture."

Ji Dong understood.

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

Li Ji always had a faint smile on his face.

What the second son of the Xia family said was on point.

If it weren't for the fact that rumors are spreading in the city, he wouldn't have come here in person.

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

"Xia Hanlin was worrying too much. This move is just to return Xia Hanlin's innocence. After all, the result is here. It's better to avoid it." Li Ji said with a smile.

Hearing his insistence, Xia Han's heart sank.

Just when he was about to say something more, Li Ji said in a gentle tone: "Our family came here today on the basis of an oracle, for the sake of fairness and justice, there must be no ambiguity in the slightest, and there must be no confusion after the event. So much to think about.”

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

The uneasiness in Xia Han's heart was gradually magnified, but there was only a calm and authentic expression on his face: "Since that's the case, everything depends on Eunuch Li and Master Ji."

Li Ji nodded with a smile, looked at Ji Dong and said, "Then Mr. Lao Ji will arrange 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 that 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 people to come out, Li Ji also straightened his sleeves, stood up, and said in a very casual tone: "There is nothing wrong with the left and right, our family will go and have a look."

Li Ji wants to go there in person?

What kind of plan does this person have when he leaves the palace today?

Xia Han's heart stirred again.

He wanted to see something on the face of the big eunuch, but apart from that faint smile that couldn't be more faint, no one could see the slightest emotion.

As Li Ji and his party left the yamen with a group of officials, the crowd of onlookers became more restless.

I really didn't realize that the eunuchs in the palace also like to watch the excitement! He actually took the lead to go to Xia's house!

Some people stayed in the yamen to wait for the news, while others rushed towards the Xia Mansion.

The Jing Ya and the Xia Mansion are not close to each other, and following the discussion among the common people along the way, more and more people know about it.

"Lao Li, what's the matter? What's new?"

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

"Tsk, you haven't heard of it yet!" The other party quickly described 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 hurriedly joined the crowd.

What's going on these days, the lively events follow one after another, and one is not paying attention, and one almost misses it!

It's all because of the fire in the direction of the palace last night. He discussed with a group of like-minded friends all night, and didn't go to sleep until dawn-listening to the excitement is also physical work!

...

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

The Taoist has already repeated what he said yesterday.

Facing the chief assistant minister of the current dynasty, the tension in the Taoist heart once again increased.

If he hadn't always reminded himself that the dignified Wu family was behind him, it would not be impossible to collapse and faint on the spot.

"Master...you should come up with an idea." Mrs. Xue urged from the side.

It was just now that the family got the news that His Majesty sent Li Ji to attend the review... Even the master didn't know about this before!

The accidents came one after another, what happened?

"Thank you Master for expeling evil spirits."

Xia Tingzhen put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the Taoist and said.

"But..." The Taoist hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you want to expel this evil spirit, in addition to doing it by the poor way, you need to find out the cause and effect afterwards, so as to truly eliminate this debt."

"I have already understood." Xia Tingzhen said: "If there is a debt to pay off, karma will be repaid, as it should be—"

Xue Shi was startled when he heard this.

Sir, what is the meaning of this?

It's hard to say what is under the rockery, and the so-called cause and effect, if someone with a heart intervenes, can they really find out?

The Taoist focused his eyes and said: "Before practicing the method, the rockery must be removed so that the things under it can see the sky again."

"Xia Feng."

Xia Tingzhen summoned an attendant who was guarding outside the hall, and calmly ordered: "Call ten guardians immediately, and go with this master."

The entourage responded positively.

Before the Taoist turned around and left the front hall, he glanced at Xia Tingzhen indistinctly, and said inwardly - this is a ruthless person.

Seeing the disappearance of Taoist's back, Xue asked in a low voice unconcealed and uneasy: "What is the master's plan now?"

"Do you think there are other options?" Xia Tingzhen asked coldly.

Xue's face suddenly tightened.

Master, what do you mean by that?

Xia Tingzhen looked at her and said with a sneer: "The evil spirit is here, and this Taoist was also left at home by you——I returned from the palace this morning, and I will definitely know about it. The Fengtian Palace was struck by lightning last night. I saw it with my own eyes! If I do nothing at this time, or cover up... In this case, what do you think will happen to the Xia family afterwards?"

Xue's pupils shrank slightly.

"You mean... the emperor... already knows?"

How can this be? !

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