It is the time when the clouds stop raining
Chapter 273 Return to Xiangquan Temple
She knew her son's plan and agreed with it at first. She thought that if he succeeded, their Qu family would be prosperous. She never thought about what would happen if he failed. She was really blinded by greed at that time.
Wasn't it that the possibility of failure was greater from the very beginning?
Xie Liangping was also in a dilemma. He didn't know what to do, but what he knew was that Xie Muyun would not listen to him. In Xie Muyun's eyes, he had less and less room as a father.
Even so, he had no way to deal with it. Xie Muyun seemed to be afraid of nothing recently, let alone him as his father.
"I can only try my best, but I can't guarantee success." It can definitely guarantee that he will not succeed. If Qu Xuepeng had made other mistakes, they could still discuss it, but he hurt Xie Yunshu, and there was no room for negotiation with Xie Muyun.
Not only is Xie Muyun left with no room for negotiation, but if Zhang Sijun finds out, there will be no room for maneuver in this matter.
Qu's mother said, "Let's go home first and think about it." Seeing Xie Liangping's dilemma, she felt that the Qu family should also take action and it would surely be possible to ask the Prime Minister for help.
Qu Xuepeng's mother said, "Okay, okay, brother and sister-in-law, please, go back and ask the Prime Minister for help." She knew that Lord Qu was Prime Minister Song's man, and as long as the Prime Minister took action, her son would be fine.
They had come here happily to visit their daughter's house and see the prosperity of the Marquis' Mansion, but who knew something like this would happen. The Qu family members returned home disappointed and busy themselves with rescuing Qu Xuepeng.
However, after some running around, the Qu family did meet the Prime Minister, but with pressure from Xie Muyun and the Zhenbei Marquisate, Qu Xuepeng could not be rescued at all.
Song Wancheng would not use all his strength and use all his connections to get the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for a little Qu Xuepeng. Qu Xuepeng has nothing to do with him, so it is not worth it.
He is so greedy that he even dares to covet the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenbei. He deserves to be sent to prison.
At night, Qu Xuepeng's mother saw that there was no hope of rescuing her son from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she turned her attention back to Xie Liangping.
Xie Liangping had no choice as both children refused to listen to him.
It was completely hopeless.
Back to noon, Yuanli had not received any information about the report from Xiangquan Temple. So much silver was lost and his house was almost burned down, why didn't they report it?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He felt that he had to go and see for himself, so Yuan Li disguised himself as a pilgrim and came to Xiangquan Temple.
The temple business is still booming, with people from all over coming here to burn incense and worship Buddha.
After burning incense, Yuanli wandered around the temple. Before he knew it, he was feeling hungry, so he went to the kitchen of Xiangquan Temple and ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
When the steaming noodles came up, Yuanli felt even hungrier, so he quickly took a bite.
But the taste was not right at the first bite. It was not that it was bad, but that it was very delicious and familiar. This was the taste of the inn below. So does it mean that Xiangquan Temple and the inn below are in cahoots, and they are all, all... the former prince's people?
He wanted to go back and tell his master the news. Chu Beili pretended to be calm as he finished eating the vegetarian noodles. After going down the mountain, he went straight to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
It was getting dark. Chu Beili had just returned home from outside. Seeing Yuanli waiting in the yard, he walked towards him. He thought there must be something big, otherwise Yuanli would not come to find him in broad daylight.
"Master, don't worry. No one saw me come in. I went to Xiangquan Temple again today. The vegetarian noodles there taste the same as those in the former prince's inn."
After listening to Yuan Li's report, Chu Beili asked, "Are you sure?"
Yuan Li nodded: "I have eaten two kinds of vegetarian noodles in the inn, one of which was without chopped green onions. The one I ate today tastes exactly the same as the one in the inn without chopped green onions. I am sure that the chefs in the temple are the former prince's men. Catch them and find the big fish behind. Master, you will have made a great contribution."
Chu Beili stopped Yuan Li from talking: "Don't alert the enemy, wait for the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yuan Li said anxiously, "Master, we are investigating the matter of the former crown prince, and the second prince is also investigating. If they find this place first, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity?"
Chu Beili said, "We just need to follow your orders. I will write a letter to the prince." Yuan Li wanted to say something else, but Chu Beili said, "Since you are so free, I will take you to catch ghosts tonight."
Chu Beili knew what Xia Qi Yang was waiting for. He wanted to take this opportunity to attack the Song family and the second prince.
The two arrived at Zhang's house, and Yuan Li asked in confusion: "Mr. Zhang's house is haunted. Even if it is haunted, it is the master's grandfather. Are you trying to capture your own grandfather?"
Yuanli really didn't expect that the haunted place was Mr. Zhang's home.
At this time, Zhang Bo came over and said, "Yuan Li, there is a ghost next door. Last year, it happened on the third night of the Lunar New Year. In some years, it happened at other times. I wonder if there will be a ghost tonight."
Today is Ghost Festival, so it should be haunted.
Yuanli said: "That's great, I want to see which side the ghost is from."
He had grown up and had seen a lot following his master, so he didn't believe that it was really haunted.
It's nothing more than using the name of haunting to cover up some unspeakable secrets.
Late at night, Chu Beili and Yuan Li saw that there was indeed a ghost fire next door: "Master, shall we rush over?"
These ghost lights are not normal at all. They seem like phosphorous fires that are ignited specifically to scare people.
He has seen a lot.
Chu Beili said, "Wait a moment." Not only were his eyes as sharp as torches, he could also see very far at night, but he did not see anyone walking in the yard. He wondered where these ghost lights came from.
"Remember to disguise yourself." Both of them are now dressed like beggars, and after the disguise they can no longer be seen as the elegant gentlemen they used to be.
Yuanli said: "Don't worry, the crutches and broken bowls are ready. "Just treat him as a beggar who accidentally broke in.
There were pedestrians walking outside. When they saw the ghost lights in the Lin Mansion, they all lamented that every year on Ghost Festival, no one burned paper for them, so they had to burn it themselves.
It seems that the Lin Mansion is haunted again. After returning, I told my family not to go in.
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians at the door, and they were all avoiding the Lin Mansion. At this time, two beggars walked in.
With a creaky sound, the heavy door opened, and a huge spider web fell down.
Yuanli said, "Boss, really no one has gone in." There is such a big spider web at the door, and I don't know how many years it has been there to grow so big.
The two pretended to limp in, and Yuanli continued, "Boss, we finally found a place to live."
Chu Beili said: "It's such a big yard, let's check if there is anything else, we're going to make a fortune."
