Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

The next morning, there was a court meeting.

Many officials were asking about what happened yesterday, especially Lieutenant Gao's two sons, who directly asked Emperor Kang Ping with tears in their eyes whether their parents were dead or alive.

After listening to this, Emperor Kang Ping had a headache and felt like shutting himself down.

At the same time, I felt regret inside.

If he had known this, he should not have invited Mr. and Mrs. Gao to the palace yesterday to mourn their daughter, because if the two of them had not entered the palace yesterday, nothing would have happened. If nothing had happened, Concubine Gao's affairs would have been royal internal affairs.

He could get angry and not say anything, or not allow anyone to inquire. Although the news might not be kept secret, at least he wouldn't be forced to question it in the morning.

But now Gao Taiwei and his wife are missing in the palace.

Live without people, dead without corpses.

One of the three dignified princes just disappeared. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had enough reasons and qualifications to pursue the case. This is not a family matter, but a national matter and a major event.

Needless to say, he knew that there must be some speculation that he did not believe in ghosts and gods. He was responsible for the death of Concubine Gao. He also used Concubine Gao's death to deceive and kill Gao Taiwei and his wife, in order to seize Gao Taiwei's military power. .

The method is crude, but the effect is really good.

He also used the theory of ghosts and gods to pick himself out.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, Emperor Kang Ping himself knew very well that he was not too afraid of Captain Gao, and he sincerely loved Concubine Gao, and even had the idea in his heart to make the fourth prince, the son of Concubine Gao, the crown prince.

It's just because of the distinction between direct concubine and concubine.

I have never dared to go against the laws of my ancestors.

Now he is looked at with all kinds of strange looks by some ministers, and even suspected by Gao Taiwei's two sons.

He was really suffering and couldn’t tell!

At this time, Qintian Supervisor Zheng Lao Li stood up and said as if a ray of sunshine broke through the gloom and shone on Emperor Kangping, bringing him hope:

"Everyone, your majesty, the emperor, must not be harmed, so he did not come to the back hall of Kunning Palace in person. Palace Master Zhang and I went to understand the situation in person.

So if you have any questions, please ask us.

We promise to answer truthfully! "

As he said that, Lao Li did not forget to pull over Xiao Zhang, who was more than ten years younger than him, and then explained to the officials present with a smile what happened yesterday and what the specific situation is now. !

Finally, he specifically stated his guess:

"According to my estimation, Captain Gao should be fine. At least he is still alive now. He is just trapped in a dry well. The same is probably true for his wife.

But if it cannot be rescued in time.

That's not good to say.

After all, even if they are not injured after falling, the air inside can still circulate normally. If they don't have to eat or drink, they probably won't survive for long, so they have to hurry up.

Find the evil spirit as soon as possible and try to make peace with it.

Or break the arrangement of the evil spirit! "

After hearing these explanations, those ministers who still did not believe in ghosts and gods probably thought that this was Emperor Kangping's arrangement, so they basically said nothing. The remaining ones, especially the two sons of Captain Gao, were angry and dissatisfied. Li Jianzheng and Palace Master Zhang were accused.

I feel that they are useless and incompetent and not good at learning.

It's just that he couldn't decipher the evil spirit's arrangement. He couldn't even understand the evil spirit's arrangement and didn't warn him.

This caused their parents to go to the palace to mourn the accident.

There are even clamors that Li Jianzheng and Palace Master Zhang must solve this problem. Otherwise, the royal food they have spent so many years will be in vain. No problem can be solved. Whenever something happens, the ministers and others will be incompetent.

The angry Inspector Li put down his burden on the spot and wanted to resign.

Practitioners in this world cannot live forever. At most, they can only extend their life a little, living decades longer than ordinary people, and they must be those with deeper cultivation.

If your cultivation is poor, you may be exposed to evil spirits and yin energy again.

They don't live as long as ordinary people!

In fact, there are no demons to subjugate on weekdays. The most is to deal with some Yin Qi and evil spirits. Looking at Feng Shui, dealing with evil spirits is already a relatively difficult operation. Because of this, practitioners have some status, but not too high status, at least. It is not above the imperial power.

Ordinary officials know very little about them, and it is not uncommon for some officials who do not believe in ghosts and gods to regard them as liars.

Therefore, the explanation the two of them had just given, telling how terrifying the evil spirit was, was just playing the piano to an ox.

Officials who are ignorant only think that these two incompetent wastes are trying to excuse their own incompetence in doing things. After all, they themselves have often done this before. If they judge others by themselves, I think they will do this and it should not be too normal.

In the end, Emperor Kangping came forward to mediate.

They also said that if they really don't believe it, they will be allowed to go to Kunning Palace today to take a look. However, no one with the blood of the Gao family can go in because they may be in danger, but they can send a few trustworthy people there. , it can be said that in order to prevent others from suspecting that all this was his own plan, it was all a bloody farce that he staged to seize Captain Gao's military power.

Emperor Kangping really tried his best.

After all, Kunning Palace is the harem. Normally, the officials can only enter the Qianqing Palace. How can they be allowed to visit the harem? Even if the Queen Mother listens to politics behind the curtain, the Queen Mother will move to the Qianqing Palace behind the curtain instead of letting the officials enter Kunning Palace. Palace or Cining Palace to handle government affairs and so on.

Immediately afterwards, Kunning Palace became lively.

A real crowd of people swarmed into the back hall of Kunning Palace. Among them, those officials who believed what Li Jianzheng said were a little more cautious and did not dare to go too far. Most of them just watched from the side. Some of them were just watching. He didn't even dare to go in, so he just watched outside the hall.

But those officials who do not believe in ghosts and gods.

It is much bolder.

Some military generals felt that they were strong and wanted to pull the plaque out of the ground. Others borrowed a knife from the Imperial Guards nearby and went in to cut the plaque.

There were even axes and chisels found.

I want to destroy the well.

In addition, there are also operations such as filling the well with water, setting it on fire, burning the plaque with kerosene, or even pouring some black dog blood or child urine over the mouth of the well.

After all the troubles, it was of no use. It was obviously just a wooden plaque with no damage at all, and nothing could be thrown into the well. Everything was undoubtedly beyond the understanding of the officials, and some even began to mutter, "Isn't that right?" Talking about strange things and confuse the gods is not talking, but it is not the absence of words. There are really ghosts and gods in this world!

Fortunately, Qu Jie didn't have too many malicious intentions. If she had set up some more vicious back-ups here, she might be able to take away all the civil and military officials of the dynasty with just a few moves.

As those officials believed it was true.

The next step is undoubtedly an active discussion on what to do specifically. Although many officials are not very knowledgeable, they also put forward some constructive suggestions. For example, can the solution be solved by offering sacrifices to heaven? Is the emperor's seal useful?

All in all, there are quite a few wonderful ideas!
