The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 719 Ask Mingji (2)
While leading the way, the young man who couldn't see clearly reported in a low voice respectfully, "It's safe here, please rest assured, my lord. The guests came during the day, they were very polite and didn't talk too much. We are also very considerate to the guests, and there is no complaint from the guests. "

Zhou Boyan asked in a low tone, "Is the guest awake at this moment?"

The young man wanted to answer that the guest was sleeping, but he immediately reacted, "Sir, please ask the guest to get up and wash up." The young master wanted to ask something immediately.No matter whether the guest is sleeping or not, he has to immediately accept the young master's questioning.Of course it’s not okay for guests to be disheveled, so he said to let the guests get up and wash up.When he said this, the people behind him stepped back and prepared.He was satisfied that his subordinates had good eyesight, so he invited Zhou Boyan to a room and made tea and poured water himself, very respectful.

The oil lamp on the table was on, the room was not very big, and the simple furnishings inside could be seen at a glance, there was nothing to see.

Zhou Boyan sat there with an unpredictable expression, without saying a word.

The youth felt the invisible pressure rushing towards his face.He was uneasy, but he didn't dare to show his uneasiness, and stood aside calmly with his hands down.He was anxious, why hasn't there been any news yet?He secretly scolded his subordinates for being idiots, and he moved so slowly, wouldn't it be courting death to keep the young master waiting for too long?
At this time, someone reported from outside the door, "Return to your lord, the guests are ready."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhou Boyan.

Zhou Boyan stood up and said with an unpredictable expression, "Leng Qiang, lead the way."

The young man's name is Leng Qiang.He hurriedly answered "Yes" and led the way from this room to another.

After entering this door, Zhou Boyan scanned it for a week.The house is not big, and also poorly furnished.However, there were four youths dressed as woodcutters standing against the wall with cold faces.Of course they are not real woodcutters, they are all characters with two strokes in their hands.

Leng Qiang made an open gesture.

Two of the four youths dressed as woodcutters stepped forward.One person lifted the bed and moved it away.The other person bent down and stabilized the lower body, grabbed the square stone slab exposed after removing the bed, and with a muffled grunt, moved the slate away.At this time, another person stepped forward, grabbed the iron ring on the exposed plank, easily pulled up the plank, and put the plank against the wall.

Leng Qiang said to Zhou Boyan, "The guests are below, please, my lord."

Zhou Boyan stepped forward and looked down.Because the oil lamps were lit below, the light was good, and you could see the ladder going down, the simple tables and chairs, and the people sitting on the chairs below the knees.There was no joy or anger on his face, and his tone was very flat, "Apart from the guests, are there other people down here?"

Leng Qiang replied that there was no one else.

Zhou Boyan nodded, looked back at Gu Shitou and Hong Wei, "You guard the door, the others go out." After finishing speaking, he took off his cloak and threw it to Gu Shitou, turned his face, and went down the ladder.When his feet landed on the ground, he looked up and saw Gu Shitou who was hesitant to speak, and said, "Close the wooden door."

Gu Shitou didn't dare to have an opinion, and looked at Hong Wei.Without saying a word, Hong Wei closed the wooden door.Young master has orders, they dare not stay any longer.The cold and strong people all retreated.Hong Wei and Gu Shitou also retreated with six brocade-clothed guards, but they guarded the doors and windows, and one person climbed onto the roof, not allowing anyone to approach.

Zhou Boyan stared at the person sitting on the chair with his hands behind his back, "Master Mingji, please stay safe!"

That's right, the person sitting on the chair is none other than Daoist Mingji, the national teacher that the Empress Dowager mentioned.He was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a dust whisk, his hair was grey, and his face was wrinkled.He drooped his eyelids, and when he heard Zhou Boyan's voice, he forcefully opened his eyes, and chuckled, "But Mr. Yan?" His voice was old.

If Luo San and Du Zhongxia were present at this moment, they would definitely be extremely surprised.Because this old Taoist is none other than Qingshu and his party who followed them all the way back to Kangxi Town, and was scolded by Qingshu as a perverted old Taoist who was just playing around.

Zhou Boyan nodded, "No, it's Zhou Boyan." While speaking, he glanced at the simple wooden bed behind Daoist Mingji.There is a bedding on the bed, a bundle, and nothing else.

Daoist Mingji looked at Zhou Boyan with a smile for more than ten seconds, and said, "Pindao and Mr. Yan met for the first time, how can there be no harm? Could it be that the young master has met Mr. Zhou Boyan before? Yes, Mr. I'm getting older, my memory is bad, maybe I've seen it and forgotten it, hehe..."

Zhou Boyan has no intention of going around the corner with Mingji, but Mingji won't cooperate so much, and it's certain that he will be around the corner.In any case, it is necessary to give courtesy first and then soldiers.And he had to find a way to try not to give Mingji a chance to make a detour. "Do you know why my son invited you here as a guest?"

Mingji just chuckled, his eyelids drooping.Xindao: Obviously he was kidnapped, but he said he was invited as a guest.However, who can blame?If he wasn't curious about Gu Qingshu's identity, he wouldn't be tied up either.To put it bluntly, he sent it to his door automatically, how could Mr. Yan miss this great opportunity!
Zhou Boyan's expression was indifferent, but there was coldness in his eyes, "I heard that the Taoist priest is very good at giving orders, and one batch will be approved one by one. I came here because of the reputation, please ask the Taoist priest to give me a life order."

Daoist Mingji didn't respond at all.

"It is said that the Taoist priest once approved orders for the eldest princess, Miss Zhong, who was not sealed up, and the ancient general who was awarded the title of Zhongwu General by Da'an Zhonglie, and for the Chu Xiangfu who ransacked all his families. The eldest son above has approved orders..." Zhou Boyan said unhurriedly, and listed more than a dozen people at once.

Daoist Mingji didn't change his expression, but his fingers holding Fuchen froze for a moment.It's just a moment, if you don't pay attention carefully, others won't find it at all.

Zhou Boyan noticed it, and said unhurriedly, "The Taoist priest is capable, and this batch of orders is approved one by one. My mother..." He paused, and changed his words abruptly, "Princess, just as the Taoist priest said. As expected, she was rich but not long-lived. The Miss Zhong family, as the Taoist priest said, became the most honorable woman in Daan after she was sealed off. The loyal general, General Gu, died young and died in battle at the border, as the Taoist priest said. And Chu Xiang..."

Daoist Mingji's breathing became heavy, and he gasped, "Don't say it, don't say it."

Although Zhou Boyan was interrupted, he didn't intend to stop, and continued, "There is also the eldest son of Chu Xiangfu, the Taoist priest gave him orders: to restrain parents, restrain wife and children, restrain everyone around him. Sure enough, The Chu Clan that the eldest son of Chu has suppressed has ended up beheading all his families, and he has truly crushed everyone around him."

With a click, the whisk in Mingji's hand fell to the ground, rolled a few times and stopped.He opened his eyes, his hands trembled, and his lips trembled.His emotional reaction was very strong, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Zhou Boyan didn't feel pity for him, he just thought he was acting, "It is said that the Taoist priest is not only powerful in commanding orders, but also has a superb ability to cure strange diseases. When my mother was eleven or twelve years old, she was ill. No matter whether it is an imperial doctor or a famous folk doctor, there is nothing that can do anything about this strange disease. It dragged on for a month, and seeing that my mother was about to die, the empress dowager, who was an imperial concubine at that time, invited Taoist priests from Yangming Temple Long. The Daoist master is extremely capable, and with only three pieces of talisman paper and three bowls of incense ash water, he woke up my mother who had been in a coma for more than a month in three days."
