At the same time, in an ordinary small courtyard in the west of the capital, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe who was kneeling cross-legged on a futon suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of him hung a large pattern of gossip yin and yang fish, and below the pattern was placed an offering table, on which were placed several jade plaques, on which were painted with strange patterns of cinnabar.

At this moment, the jade plaque on the left side slowly cracked, and finally cracked into several pieces and scattered on the offering table.

The man's face changed drastically, and he grabbed the jade plaque that was broken into several pieces, and his whole body was trembling.

He had cultivated a total of five disciples in his life, and each of them was of great help to his cultivation, and they were all his heart's meat.

But now, Xie Yun is dead, in that little-known small place in Liuhe Town.

Xie Yun was not only his disciple, but also his only son.

But now, Xie Yun is dead, and his only son is gone!

"Someone!" The man shouted suddenly.

"Immortal Master." A young woman walked in and bowed her head respectfully.

"Xie Yun is dead." The man said in a deep voice, his hands shaking.

The young woman shook her head in horror when she heard this: "This ...... That's impossible! ”

Xie Yun is the senior brother of their Cloud Palace, he was just doing a small thing on the orders of the immortal master, how could he die?

"Return the 10,000 taels of silver given by Mrs. Jiang and tell her that we haven't done this in Yunxiao Palace." The middle-aged man commanded in a trembling voice.

The young woman was about to say something, but a man's voice came to her ears again.

"Let's go back to Yunxiao Palace, no matter who kills Xie Yun, I will destroy his entire family and let them die without a place to be buried."

"Yes." The young woman responded, and hurriedly woke up the people in the courtyard, and told everyone to hurry up and get ready and return to Yunxiao Palace early tomorrow morning.

The capital is different from other places.

In other counties and prefectures, there is generally only one Taoist temple, and there may be two Taoist temples in a particularly large prefecture.

But there are ten Taoist temples outside the capital, and Yunxiao Palace is one of them.

The man looked to be no more than thirty or forty years old, but he was actually over the age of six.

He is Xie Peng, the lord of Yunxiao Palace, known as Xie Immortal Master.

This Xie Peng often went to the capital to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters for the dignitaries and nobles, and helped them do some unseemly things.

With these people protecting him, the reputation of the Yunxiao Palace is not bad, no one has ever known that the Yunxiao Palace originally had evil cultivators.

And this Xie Peng is also very low-key, and he lives in this small courtyard every time he comes to the capital.

Although he uses the silver to do things for others, if the matter is not done, he will return the silver, so among those high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, the reputation is very good.

……

Early the next morning, Qi Fangya received 10,000 taels of silver sent back by Xie Peng.

Looking at Jiang Mingtao, who was about to go out to the court, Qi Fangya frowned tightly: "The people in Yunxiao Palace actually missed, what should we do next?" Directly sent someone to destroy the Ye family? ”

Jiang Mingtao straightened out his official hat and said softly: "Madame, don't be impatient, this kind of thing can't be done lightly, we asked Yunxiao Palace to use ghosts to destroy the Ye family, even if someone wants to check, they can't find our head, if Madam directly sends someone over, it won't be necessarily." ”

"In my opinion, it's you who can't forget that slut, so you stopped me, afraid that I would send someone to destroy them directly." Qi Fangya said and snorted coldly: "Having said that, that's your bad wife, it's normal for you to be reluctant, or ...... You bring their mother and daughter to the capital, and I am willing to let her be your concubine. ”

Jiang Mingtao's eyes widened when he heard this.

Although it is really illegal to let Ye Miaoyun change from a wife to a concubine, who made Ye Miaoyun just an ordinary peasant woman? Where is she comparable to Qi Fangya, the county lord?

What's more, now that she worships the four grades, even if she wants to take a concubine, she is still a young and beautiful girl, not a lowly peasant woman who is over thirty years old like Ye Miaoyun.

But no matter what, he also relied on the Ye family to catch the exam.

Jiang Mingtao didn't want to kill them all.

He had also begged Qi Fangya before to let Ye Miaoyun be his concubine, but Qi Fangya refused.

also said that as long as he dared to take Ye Miaoyun and their mother and daughter to the capital, she would reconcile with him.

Of course, Jiang Mingtao couldn't give up the glory and wealth in his hands, so he had no choice but to send someone back to find his second brother, gave them five hundred taels of silver, and instructed the second brother to get rid of Ye Miaoyun and their mother and daughter.

As a result, Ye Miaoyun escaped.

"Madame laughed, she had an affair with someone else, she has been kicked out of the Jiang family, and she is no longer my Jiang family wife, so naturally she is not qualified to be my concubine." Jiang Mingtao shook his head and said.

Even if Qi Fangya is willing to let Ye Miaoyun be a concubine now, he will not agree.

A woman lying on a meadow with another man, even if her innocence is still there, is not worthy of him.

Jiang Mingtao didn't want to be laughed at because of Ye Miaoyun.

Qi Fangya was just talking, she knew that Jiang Mingtao would definitely feel disgusting and would not agree.

"I'll spend a lot of money to invite a few killers to go to Liuhe Town, and after killing people, set a big fire to extinguish the Ye family's ashes, no one will find out about us at all, Jiang Mingtao, don't you forget...... The reason why you can be promoted to the fourth rank official, my father has done a lot of work, I can make you an official and a knight, and I can also make you lose everything, if you don't make me happy, I will let you have nothing first. Qi Fangya said with a dark face.

"Okay, I'll listen to Madame." Jiang Mingtao nodded hurriedly.

"You liar, if it weren't for the sake of the three children, I would really want to reconcile with you." After Qi Fangya finished speaking, she turned around and went out.

Jiang Mingtao married a wife and had a daughter, Qi Fangya didn't know about it before, it was only two months ago when Jiang Mingtao was about to be promoted to the fourth rank official, and he proposed to send someone to Qingya Village to pick up his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Jiang Mingtao told her.

Of course, Qi Fangya couldn't accept it, and only wanted Ye Miaoyun and her mother and daughter to die.

In addition to wanting to keep her position, she also didn't want Jiang Mingtao to be impeached and dismissed.

After all, they have been married for many years and have three children, of course Qi Fangya has to plan for herself and the children.

Jiang Mingtao also recognized this, so he dared to tell her everything.

……

Liuhe Town in June is very hot, there is no rain for half a month, and even the water level of the Yangliu River behind it has dropped a lot.

Qi Chengshuo did not move to the Ye family to live, but spent money to buy the house next to the Ye family, so that it was much more convenient for them to protect Qi Jiu than before.

Regarding the fact that Qi Jiu was penniless and could only survive by being a son-in-law for the Ye family, while his nephew could spend money to buy a house, the Ye family had asked, and Qi Chengshuo also gave an answer.
