Chapter 529: The Fortune Telling House Next Door
If you want to bring down the Xiao family, you still need a suitable opportunity now, but I didn't expect this Xiao Ziming and Gu Peiqing to send this opportunity over.
Before, because of the fact that the Xiao family gave birth to a freak, they once bought a boy in a farmer's house who wanted to be their son's live medicine jar, but because Xiao Ziming failed to fulfill the witch doctor's wish, the witch doctor naturally would not help him fulfill his wish.
Even if the peasant family went to the Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture to complain, but the Xiao family's door god was old, and there were still people in the court, and it was easy to suppress this matter.
Since ancient times, officials and officials have protected each other, even if the Xiao family has declined, there are still people who are willing to help him.
On this day, the Queen Mother wanted to meet Xun'er, and Gu Yunxin was rarely able to spare time to go out of the palace to check the accounts in the shop.
Moreover, after Jinhua and the others went back, they also told themselves that there was suddenly an extra feng shui shop in Kyoto, which was next door to the dried fruit shop.
This feng shui belief is there, and if you don't believe it, you don't, because the owner of this feng shui shop is rumored to be very godly, Gu Yunxin also feels very curious.
Gu Yunxin changed into casual clothes, and came directly to the shop accompanied by Hongxuan and Hongling.
As soon as I walked to the door of the shop, I saw that the door was full of people, and when I got closer, I realized that everyone was watching an old man who was treating a middle-aged woman here, and the woman did not speak, but kept trembling.
"Master, this woman...... It looks like he's been poisoned. Hongxuan said in a low voice.
"It's poisoned, and it's not one." Hongling said in a deep voice.
As soon as Hongling's voice fell, the middle-aged man on the other side raised his eyes to look at this side.
The moment he saw Gu Yunxin, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, wasn't this the woman he had been thinking about day and night and dreaming of what he wanted to see?
Crown Princess Gu Yunxin? How did she end up here? Is it because she also heard about her own skills, so she came to see her?
If she wants to ask herself to do things, wouldn't she be able to ask for it casually? Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that Gu Yunxin had already left.
What's the matter, can't I make such a big movement to attract her?
Gu Yunxin walked to the backyard of Guigan's shop and saw that everyone was busy, washing the fruit, then slicing it and putting it to dry in the sun.
"I've seen Madame." When everyone saw Gu Yunxin, they saluted respectfully.
"It's all free, the shopkeeper is here, let him come to the account room to find me." Gu Yunxin gave a faint order, and walked towards the account room.
In the account room, Gu Yunxin sat on a chair and opened the account book of the last few months, looking at the numbers on the account book, Gu Yunxin nodded with satisfaction.
Her shop has always been doing well, especially in the last few months. If it goes on like this, Gu Yunxin really wants to open the shop all over the entire Great Zhou.
The prince has his own Jianghu sect as an information and intelligence network, so she also hopes to open more shops to provide a place for these brothers in the rivers and lakes to settle down.
Since she can't be as capable as her husband, as long as she can help him, Gu Yunxin is happy to do it.
"Ma'am." There was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice was heard.
"Shopkeeper Tao, it's really hard for you, the business of the shop has been really good in the past few months." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
"Madame is polite, everything should be done in the future. Madame is here today, but is there anything she has to say? The shopkeeper bowed his hand.
"The business of the shop is good, but we have always been doing business in Kyoto City, so I want to expand the business to other places, you think about this matter, and the next time I come over, we will discuss it carefully." And now I'm going to ask about the shop next door. ”
"The shop next door?" Shopkeeper Tao wondered.
In his impression, this master has never cared about these fortune-telling shops, unless there are competitors in the same industry, how can he ever care about these?
However, since Madame wants to know, then he will tell everything he knows.
"Madam, this fortune-telling parlor opened half a month ago, and there were no customers at the beginning, but in the past few days, there have been more customers. It is said that he is superb in magic and can make his wishes come true. The shopkeeper told what he knew.
Superb spells? Do you want to do it? There are indeed masters in this world, but if everyone claims to be masters, wouldn't there be people all over the streets?
"Master, when we went in to see just now, that guy seemed very happy when he saw the master, could it be that he knew the identity of the master, so he deliberately opened a store in front of our shop?" Hongxuan frowned.
"You mean, that strange guy is trying to spy on our master?" Hongling wondered.
If you want to monitor, at least you want to sneak into the palace, stay in this shop, if the master never comes, then won't he have to wait in vain? Unless he ......, he knew that his master would come here, otherwise everything he did would be meaningless.
Thinking of this, Hongling said in Gu Yunxin's ear in a deep voice: "Master, let's go back first, the slave and maid will find out the rest of the things." ”
"Okay, you have to be safe." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
In fact, as long as he told the prince about this matter after he went back, he would send someone with a new face to find out about this matter, Hongxuan Hongling often followed Gu Yunxin, and the appearance of any of them would attract the attention of others.
After returning to the palace, Gu Yunxin told the prince about today's events, and the prince frowned slightly, "Mu Bai, you go check it out." ”
"Yes, sir."
Mu Bai has always been a person who doesn't like to talk much, and the people around Gu Yunxin think that he is too arrogant, Xiangzhi and Lanzhi are even a little afraid of him.
Three days later, as soon as the prince returned from the court, Mu Bai brought the news back.
In the study, the prince sat on a chair, and Mu Bai held a long sword in his hand, standing opposite the prince.
"Master, my subordinates have found out, that guy from the fortune telling parlor, named Ge Tai, is a famous witch doctor near southern Xinjiang, and he once said that he would serve the Netherworld Pavilion. Master, you have always disliked such a person, so no one led him into the Netherworld. Mu Bai said lightly.
Shaman? Naturally, such a person would not be able to enter the Netherworld. Although the Netherworld Pavilion is a Jianghu organization, it never kills people and sets fires.
Unless someone is deliberately looking for trouble, otherwise, the Netherworld Pavilion will not take action to deal with those who kill themselves.
Most witch doctors like Gotai murder others for profit. Since the other gangs are not willing to accept such people, then of course their Netherworld Pavilion will not accept them, and they are not collecting rags.
"Is he just a boasting witch doctor?" The prince raised his eyebrows slightly.
He believed that the information that Mu Bai found would definitely not be just such a little, if it was just such a simple matter, just hand it over to the spies of the Netherworld Pavilion to investigate, why send a master like Mu Bai to kill chickens with a knife?
"Not only that, Xiao Ziming once looked for Ge Tai. Before, Xiao Ziming gave birth to a freak, so he bought a baby boy from the farmer to raise at home, and this Ge Tai said that he could transplant the farmer's child's eyes and legs to the freak. It's just that Xiao Ziming doesn't seem to have fulfilled their agreement, so the farmer's child is still raised in the Xiao family. ”
"What? How can there be such a cruel method? Didn't the peasant family know about it? Are they willing to do it? The prince said in a deep voice.
Not to mention the big families, even those farmers are even less likely to sell the boys in the family.
When a boy is raised, he can be used as a labor force in the family. It is also a person who inherits the family and continues the incense, so naturally he will not be willing to give it up.
When the Xiao family bought the child, they said that they wanted to find someone to serve the little master of the family, and it was best to accompany the little master to grow up, and the farmer was also short of money, so they sold the half-year-old child to the Xiao family. When they heard that the Xiao family had given birth to a freak and wanted to use a healthy child as a medicine, they regretted it, and they had also been to the Xiao family and Kyoto Mansion, but there were people in the court who helped the Xiao family suppress it. Mu Bai said lightly.
"Oh? It seems that this Xiao family still has use value. The prince snorted coldly.
No wonder my father must personally eradicate the Xiao family, there are other forces that want to use the Xiao family, and they are all very deep.
"There's one more thing, maybe related. Gu Peiqing had been to the Gu Mansion to see Mrs. Gu, and according to the people who guarded the Gu Mansion, Gu Peiqing asked for a belly pocket worn by the crown princess when she was a child from Mrs. Gu. Mu Bai said with a red face.
"Are you going to leave Yun Xin's childhood belly pocket? What does she want to do? The prince smelled a hint of danger and said.
With Gu Peiqing's relationship with Yun Xin, how could she go to Mrs. Gu to ask for Yun Xin's childhood belly pocket? Could it be that she came up with some trick again, wanting to frame Gu Fu or Yun Xin?
"I don't know, the guardian brother said that Gu Peiqing said that the crown princess is the most blessed person, and Gu Peiqing wants to take the princess's childhood belly pocket, which is for her freak, in order to give her son a blessing." Mu Baidao.
Phew, what kind of blessings, we're still too unlucky. Besides, giving birth to a freak must be the retribution of the two of them for doing many evils, and it would be too selfish to want to get the blessings of others to resolve it.
"Send someone Red Sleeves to check, and it is best to get back the crown princess's childhood belly pocket. Not to mention a belly pocket, it's just a thread, and the palace doesn't want them to be contaminated. The prince said angrily.
"Yes, sir. However, the subordinates didn't know what the belly pocket looked like, so they went directly to ask the princess for fear that the princess didn't know. Our people are secretly protecting the Gu Mansion, and if we ask directly, it will inevitably make people think that our motives are not pure. Mu Bai was embarrassed.
"It's really tricky, I'll go back and ask to see if the crown princess still remembers what her belly pocket was like when she was a child." The prince said with a displeased face.
As soon as he thought that Gu Peiqing had brought home the belly pocket that Gu Yunxin had worn and put it on the body of that freak, he felt uncomfortable. Don't blame him for being ruthless, who made them antagonistic.
What's more, that Xiao Ziming once went to find Ge Tai, who knows if they used some despicable means to harm Yun Xin or Xun'er? He would never allow such a thing to happen.
