Zhu Yuanzhang's verbal command made the harem boil. Many people were shocked to find out about the reason for the thorough investigation of the palace because of the recent rumors of witchcraft, and they speculated whether it was really happening, because everyone knew the seriousness of this matter, and if it did, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ping'er told Guo Hui the news as soon as possible.

Guo Hui felt more and more that the identity of the owner behind Ping'er was not simple, she could immediately know Zhu Yuanzhang's actions and influence Zhu Yuanzhang's decision, there were really not many such people, and several people's faces jumped out of her mind, and she was not completely sure, and she was secretly surprised in her heart and spoke to Ping'er a lot more politely.

Guo Xia is not a stupid person, she was jealous that Ping'er was valued by Guo Hui, but later realized that Ping'er turned out to be a messenger similar to Li Meiren, seeing that Guo Hui was polite to Ping'er, she also quickly changed to the appearance of a confidant sister and got close to her.

Ping'er didn't get carried away, she knew in her heart that people like Guo Hui couldn't see anyone more arrogant than herself, as long as anyone dared to show a trace of arrogance in front of her, she would remember it in her heart and wait for revenge, so Ping'er still said respectfully: "The master asked the slave to tell Niangniang, he suspected that the queen had done something behind her back, and Niangniang must be careful." ”

Guo Hui was taken aback, and then said nonchalantly: "There is nothing unsightly here in this palace, I am not afraid that she will come to investigate! ”

Since she was almost punished by Ma Xiuying for overstepping the system last time, Guo Hui no longer dared to wear any clothes that only a queen can have, she was still jealous and jealous in her heart, and she looked quite regular on the surface.

Ping'er said: "In short, Niangniang is careful. ”

Guo Hui asked Guo Xia to check the inside and outside of his dormitory, and to make sure that there were no mistakes, he waited for someone to check it.

When it comes to the witch Gu incident, Zhu Yuanzhang was really ruthless, checked with great fanfare, and specially summoned Zhang Normal, the forty-second generation celestial master of Longhu Mountain, and the host of Jiming Temple to enter the palace to assist in the inspection, and everyone speculated that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that there was really evil in the palace so that the Taoist monks could deal with it.

The two factions of Buddhism and Taoism are not mutually exclusive, but they are also competing with each other, especially in front of the emperor. The host of Jiming Temple kept waving up and down with a tin staff, and Zhang Normal Dao Chang walked around with a compass. Zhu Yuanzhang asked them what they could find, and the two of them actually said in unison that there was indeed evil and chaos in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still suspicious, was shocked by these two people, and immediately ordered the guards to thoroughly investigate every corner of the palace. This is not as simple as Ma Xiuying sending someone to check, it is really that every grass and tree has been inspected, and the bird's nest and dog holes have been found.

To be able to stand out from many Taoist priests and become a generation of heavenly masters, Zhang Ming's head is very smart, he heard about this incident before entering the palace because the queen has been ill for a long time, and the emperor suspects that someone is troublesome, so he immediately collects information about other concubines who are not compatible with the queen, and after learning that the most incompatible with the queen is Concubine Hui, he paid special attention to Jingyang Palace.

Because it was Zhu Yuanzhang's personal order, Guo Hui didn't dare to take Qiao and refused to inspect it, but her face was not much better, and she warned the guards not to damage any items in Jingyang Palace.

The guards agreed and dispersed to inspect. A round-faced guard accompanied Zhang Normal around Jingyang Palace.

Everywhere he went, Zhang Normal would take out a compass and investigate it seriously. It is said that this is a magic weapon handed down by the ancestor of Longhu Mountain, and if you encounter demons and monsters, the magnetic needle on the compass will shake.

It's a pity that everything looks normal in Jingyang Palace, and the magnetic needle seems to be stuck in one direction and doesn't move. Zhang Normal couldn't help but hesitate a little, if he returned in vain, he was afraid that the emperor would greatly discount the image of Taoism, but he was trying his best to compare with that group of bald donkeys this time. He was trying to make up a reason to convince the emperor, and the round-faced guard who had just left temporarily came back to tell him that a concubine had died in Jingyang Palace before, could it be the ghost of this concubine.

Zhang Ming's eyes lit up, and he asked the round-faced guards to take him to the palace where he had died.

The round-faced guard beckoned, asked a palace person from Jingyang Palace to lead the way, and called a few guards to go with him.

The appearance of the side hall is still splendid, because Li Meiren died in it, many people do not want to approach, this palace is abandoned, the palace people led a few people to the front of the palace and left.

The door was opened, and a tidal wave of mildew rushed in, and the empty curtains fluttered like ghosts in the dim light and shadow.

Zhang was overjoyed, this was the most suitable place to hunt ghosts, he took out the compass and was about to pretend to perform, when suddenly the magnetic needle on the compass shook from side to side.

Zhang was startled and almost threw the compass out.

The round-faced guard asked, "Master Zhang, what have you discovered?"

"There's something unusually here. Zhang Normal looked solemn, secretly wondering if he could deal with the demons inside.

The round-faced guard said, "Then let the brothers check it first, and then you can cast the spell." ”

"That's very good. Zhang Normal immediately agreed, wanting to let these yang-filled guards go to the town in advance.

However, the next moment he regretted it, and he saw with his own eyes that the guards found a wooden box through the crack in the wall, which contained a doll with a needle inserted on it, and a note in the mezzanine of the box, which read: The believer Guo Hui asked the gods to bring disaster to this person.

"Is this the art of witchcraft?" cried out the round-faced guard.

"It's such ominous things. Zhang was remorseful and couldn't wait to snatch the wooden box. If he had found the wooden box first, the credit would have been his, but unfortunately the wooden box had been searched by the guards, and this credit had nothing to do with him.

The round-faced guard said respectfully: "Zhang Tianshi is really profound, if it weren't for your guidance, we wouldn't have been able to find this thing." ”

"Everyone has worked hard, let's tell the emperor about this matter first, and ask the emperor to decide. Seeing that the other party did not take away his credit, Zhang Normal suddenly smiled, and he didn't notice that when the round-faced guard approached him, the magnetic needle on the compass shook even more.

The round-faced guard handed him the box, "Please ask Zhang Tianshi to present this item to the emperor first, and our brothers will check other places." ”

There was a guard who was not happy, and the round-faced guard's approach didn't give all the credit to Zhang Normal.

The round-faced guard pulled him and whispered: "The emperor will definitely be furious, I'm afraid this matter is a curse or a blessing, let's not get involved." ”

So the guards stayed away from the wooden box as if they were running away from snakes and scorpions.

"Poor Dao will definitely show your hard work in front of the emperor. Zhang Normal smiled brighter, the things were presented by himself, and he didn't just say it himself, if he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, he would be sorry for the Sanqing Daoist.

Everyone parted ways, Zhang went to see Zhu Yuanzhang normally, the guards went to other palaces to search, and when they passed by a well, the round-faced guards casually threw the magnet in their pockets into it.
