Gao Ping was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat. In a short while, his back was completely wet. He looked at Zhou Juntao, who was still not able to see the situation clearly, with sweat all over his forehead: "Don't make any mistakes. If there is any mistake, you and I will lose our lives."
The tone of his voice was relatively calm, but to Zhou Juntao's ears it undoubtedly sounded like thunder. He swallowed his saliva and without caring about anything else, he responded loudly.
Because of the pressure from Gao Ping above, Zhou Juntao was able to mobilize his subordinates smoothly. The wanted document for Lai Bin had also been distributed long ago. After thinking it over for a while, he went straight to the post station to find Zhang Qingfeng.
Zhang Qingfeng came specifically to deliver the elixir. People from the Tianshi Mansion would come here every few years, but this time, for some reason, it was Zhang Qingfeng who came alone.
Zhou Juntao waited outside for a long time before he realized that he came at an inopportune time because Zhang Qingfeng happened to be out. He immediately frowned and knocked on the window in the second-floor hall in annoyance.
Fortunately, he was now wearing official uniform, so people could tell at a glance that he was from the government office and no one dared to bother him. He sat for a while, until he had drunk his second cup of tea, when he heard the waiter outside excitedly calling out "Taoist master".
He suddenly stood up and looked down from the second-floor window, just in time to see a man in Taoist robes walking in.
He ran towards the railing in a few steps, and met a Taoist priest who was walking up the stairs at the corner. He was stunned for a moment, and then he bowed to him and said, "Master."
Zhang Qingfeng was wearing a Taoist robe, and he looked very energetic, with his sword-like eyebrows flying. He really looked like a fairy. When he saw Zhou Juntao bowing to him, he was a little surprised at first, and then raised his eyebrows and asked: "I wonder if you..."
As he spoke, he turned the corner. Zhou Juntao hurriedly followed him, not caring about anything else. He just chased after him and asked, "Master, do you know that burying a baby under a tree is..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qingfeng, who had been calm and composed all this time, suddenly turned around and stared at him, his expression changed drastically as he asked, "Why are you asking this?!"
Looks very angry.
Zhou Juntao was startled, took a step back and waved his hands: "Master, don't misunderstand me, I'm investigating a case..." He introduced himself, and when he saw Zhang Qingfeng's expression eased, he said solemnly: "We don't really understand any of this, Master, what does this mean?"
Zhang Qingfeng had a very unpleasant expression. He took him into the house and frowned, saying, "This is an evil method. If I'm not mistaken, the number should be no less than three? They should be buried in the northeast corner, northwest corner and center of the mistress's bedroom..."
He was right about all of them!
Zhou Juntao felt relieved immediately, knowing that he had found an expert, and nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, just as you said, and..."
Zhang Qingfeng raised his hand: "Needless to say, and there must be a dead cat, right?"
He did not want to keep the secret any longer. Seeing Zhou Juntao looking at him in shock and fear, he said in a deep voice, "This is a curse. It is used to curse this family to have no descendants and change their fortunes. From now on, their fortunes will decline until they die a miserable death."
Zhou Juntao was stunned.
In the imperial study, Emperor Yuanfeng snorted with a smile: "You will die a miserable death and have no descendants?"
Gao Ping was so frightened that he dared not speak. He lowered his head and nervously replied "yes".
He didn't even dare to look up at Emperor Yuanfeng's expression.
After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Yuanfeng, who was at the top of the group, called out coldly, "Gaoping."
Gao Ping was startled and quickly agreed, then he heard Emperor Yuanfeng ask, "You just said that Lai Bin was introduced by Tie Cong. Did you find him?"
Speaking of this, Gao Ping couldn't help but lower his head even lower, and nervously swallowed his saliva before shaking his head: "Your Majesty, it's not..."
Emperor Yuanfeng raised his voice coldly: "You don't have this or that, how do you do things?!"
Gao Ping was really furious. He shuddered with fear and knelt down hurriedly. "Your Majesty, although I haven't caught Lai Bin yet, I have found out some things. I know that Lai Bin has an elder sister in the capital. He was raised by his elder sister since he was a child. I must be able to find out something from his sister. I have already ordered someone to do it. And Tie Cong, I heard that Tie Cong has a son who ran away to Dengzhou and just came back not long ago. Not long after he came back, Tie Cong..."
Tie Cong went crazy and listed his three crimes in the court.
It seems like someone is setting up a big plan.
Emperor Yuanfeng's eyebrows were cold, and he hummed: "Then do you know what to do?"
Gao Ping wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt his heart sinking. Being involved in such a thing, what choice did he have
We can only give an explanation to Emperor Yuanfeng as soon as possible.
By the time he left the palace, he was already cold all over. When he met Zhou Juntao, he asked him if he had heard any news.
According to Zhang Qingfeng, such evil methods are not tolerated by the righteous way. After being cracked down by the orthodox Taoist sects in recent years, they have gradually disappeared from the world, and there are really not many people who master this evil method.
Since there aren't many, they're easy to find.
Zhou Juntao was so anxious that his mouth was covered with bubbles. When he heard Gao Ping's question, he said, "My Lord, I have already asked Baihe Temple and Taoist Zhang Qingfeng. There are not many people who can set up such a game. They can be counted on five fingers. But there is no need to doubt the others because they have all passed away. Now, there is only one person in the world who knows this method, and that is the former young master of Longhu Mountain..."
He is Zhang Qingyuan who lost his position as Heavenly Master for unknown reasons.
Gao Ping felt as if he had caught something. He raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt something in his heart. He immediately told Zhou Juntao: "Very good. Find out where those babies' bodies came from as soon as possible. Arrest those who should be arrested and investigate those who should be investigated. I have something to do. I will come back to you later."
Zhou Juntao was puzzled and a little shocked to see him almost jogging away.
This matter is getting more and more bizarre. Who on earth would do such a thing
Gao Ping didn't care about that. He trotted all the way to the cabinet and found Prime Minister Yang Bo. He asked with a serious expression: "Prime Minister, do you still remember Zhang Qingyuan?"
Yang Bo was discussing border trade with Sun Yongning. When he heard him barge in and ask such a random question, he frowned slightly, took a sip of tea, and then looked at him: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"It's urgent!" Gao Ping stared at him anxiously: "Please, it's a big deal! Give me a definite answer, is he the one who has a close relationship with the prince..."
