The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 53: Catching Demons and Eliminating Ghosts (1)
The strong smell of urine filled the tip of his nose, Bai Ying frowned slightly, and suddenly turned around and floated away.

Seeing the white shadow drifting away, the watch boy hurriedly crawled out of Ziyue Pavilion.

After the young man escaped from Ziyuexuan, the rumors about the haunting in Ziyuexuan in An Guohou's mansion spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon spread throughout the An Guohou's mansion.

On the second day, all the maids and daughters-in-law of An Guohou's mansion were panic-stricken and talked about Ziyuexuan's haunting.

Within a morning, the entire An Guohou Mansion was disturbed. In the east courtyard, Xi Bojian and the eldest lady were very angry, so they summoned the entire An Guohou Mansion to speak.

Xi Bojian and the eldest lady sat in the middle of the hall, the second and third aunts stood beside Xi Bojian, Xi Zhuyan, Xi Zhuqin, Xi Zhuhua, and Xi Wanqing stood beside the eldest lady in order.

The courtyard was full of servants, and at a glance, there was a mass of black heads, and the number of servants up and down was hundreds of people.

With an old face firmly on his face, Xibo said seriously, "Tell me, who among you is trying to confuse people."

Everyone had discussed about Ziyuexuan's haunting, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Don't tell me, if I let Madam find out, I will beat you to death." Seeing that none of the servants said anything, the Da Furen spoke harshly.

"Ma'am, this old slave knows a thing or two about this matter. It is said that the boy who was on the watch last night met a white-clothed female ghost in Ziyue Xuan. This matter was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and it made a big fuss." Everyone in the house knows about it." After all, Bi Ye is the person serving by Xi Bojian's side, so there is no reason for him not to investigate such panic-stricken things in the residence of An Guohou.

"Master Hou, madam, servants and servants have also heard people talk about it." After Bi Ye finished speaking, a few servants who were usually more pleasing to the master agreed.

"Call the watchman over here." Xi Bojian ordered coldly.

Since the entire servants of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion were summoned to give lectures, the servants who beat the servants were naturally among them.

The young man was scared out of his wits last night, and now he was called, so he shrank from the back of the crowd and walked forward, standing in front of Xi Bojian and the eldest lady.

"Bold slave, dare to deceive the public with evil words, disturbing the peace of the house."

Seeing the young servant with his head bowed, standing shyly in front of her eyes, the eldest madam rebuked loudly for a moment.

Seeing the madam getting angry, the servant boy plopped and knelt on the ground: "Ma'am, please forgive me. This servant did not deceive the public with lies. I did see the female ghost in white." His body trembled slightly, as if he still had lingering fears about what happened last night. , the words paused, and then continued: "The slave was on watch last night, and when he was walking on the path in front of Ziyuexuan, he suddenly saw a white shadow floating in front of his eyes. Dressed in white, with disheveled hair, extremely terrifying."

The servant boy told Xi Bojian and the eldest lady exactly what he saw last night.

Seeing that the boy was quite frightened, and it didn't seem like he was telling a lie, Xi Bojian and the lady's faces were a little moved, as if they didn't believe it.

"Father, mother, Qin'er has some opinions, and I don't know if I should say it or not." Xi Zhuqin always pays attention to the expressions of Xi Bojian and the eldest lady, and sees that the two seem to believe a little, so she adds fire at the right time.

Xi Bojian looked at Xi Zhuqin: "Three girls have something to say, but it's okay to say it." He is very satisfied with this three girls, she is smart and talented, she is one of the most talented women in Nanheng Kingdom.

Xi Wanqing still lowered her head, standing silently in the hall, not conspicuous at all, it was easy for people to ignore her existence, but some people refused to let her go.

Ever since the news of Ziyuexuan's haunting spread, she knew that there must be someone playing tricks behind her back. Xi Zhuqin had something to say, but she didn't feel too surprised. She wanted to see if Xi Zhuqin could make trouble again. What's wrong with it.

Xi Zhuqin stepped forward a few steps, walked in front of Xi Bojian and the eldest lady, parted her red lips lightly, and said word by word: "Father, mother, do you think something happened to Cousin Teng in the Hou's mansion? This incident is very strange inside and out. The people in our house and the pharmacist invited by the Minister of the Ministry of Households have found out that the tea has not been poisoned. Cousin Teng's behavior like this yesterday is a bit strange. It doesn't make sense, but Qin'er thinks that Cousin Teng must not have been poisoned, but was bewildered by ghosts, and last night it was rumored that Fifth Sister's Ziyuexuan was haunted, and the two things are too coincidental."

After Xi Zhuqin finished speaking, she looked up at the reactions of Xi Bojian and the eldest lady.

"Master Hou, what Qin'er said is somewhat reasonable." The eldest lady was worried that there was no reason to resolve the conflict between An Guohou's mansion and Hubu Shangshu's mansion, and listening to Xi Zhuqin's words at this moment was also a good idea. She could completely push Xiao Teng's matter to the ghosts and gods, even if Qin Shi felt displeased, she could not compete with ghosts and gods.

Xi Bojian thought for a while, nodded, and agreed: "Since what Qin'er said makes sense, then invite a mage to come to the mansion to do it, and get rid of all those harmful demons and ghosts."

"Yes, Master Hou." With Xi Bojian's permission, the eldest lady immediately agreed.

"Master Hou, Madam, I have heard that Qingfeng Dao of Qingfeng Temple is a master of Taoism, and has a good ability to slay demons and demons." The second aunt was very happy when she saw that Xi Zhuqin talked about Xi Bojian and the eldest lady. Then according to the previous discussion with Xi Zhuqin, he recommended the Taoist Master Qingfeng of Qingfeng Temple.

Seeing Second Aunt and Xi Zhuqin, Xi Wanqing cooperated extremely well with you and me. She was sure that the Taoist Master Qingfeng of Qingfengguan would definitely be bought by these two mothers and daughters to fight her. She has no reason not to accompany her.

After listening to the second aunt's suggestion, Xi Bojian turned to look at the eldest lady and said, "Then there is Mrs. Lao, go to the Qingfeng Temple tomorrow and invite the Taoist Master Qingfeng here."

"Yes, Lord Hou." The Da Furen had no objection and answered very simply.

"In that case, let's leave first." Xi Bojian ordered everyone to retreat.

With Xi Bojian's order, everyone left the east courtyard one after another, and each went back to their own courtyard.

As soon as Er Yiniang and Xi Zhuqin returned to Xingyuan, they couldn't wait to dismiss the little maids who were serving in the room, leaving only their confidant maids, Qiuju and Lianxiu.

Xi Zhuqin handed a heavy bag of silver to Lianxiu, and said: "Lianxiu, you set off for Qingfeng Temple immediately, and buy that Qingfeng old Taoist. buy."

"Yes, miss." Lianxiu took the silver and left the house without delay.

The second aunt was a little anxious, she looked at Xi Zhuqin and said, "Miss San, is this going to work?"

"Don't worry, Aunt Qingfeng is a hypocrite Taoist. He loves money very tightly. As long as we give him some money and ask him to say something, he will say anything." When Xi Zhuqin spoke, his eyes were extremely determined, and his tone was full of confidence.
