The remaining twelve files all record cases of Pei Xuan's fortune-telling. Although the records are all trivial things, Zhou Jin becomes more and more shocked as he reads them.
Pei Xuan's divination is different from other Taoist priests in that there are absolutely no obscure terms or ambiguous rhetoric. His divination is simple, clear and easy to understand.
What's more important is that it is extremely accurate. Whether it is looking for relatives or finding a loved one, or asking for fate, it is always effective.
So even after more than 20 years, the villagers still worship Pei Xuan and think that he is a living god.
There is a rule in Pei Xuan's fortune-telling. A person can only make a fortune-telling with him once, but this person can make a request based on the fortune-telling result. As long as your request is not excessive, he can help you change your life.
According to the secret guard's investigation, seven of the thirteen people asked Pei Xun to change their lives. As for the results of changing their lives, at least in the eyes of these villagers, they were all successful.
Seeing the word "change one's fate", Zhou Jin felt bitter in his heart. If the prince's brother hadn't believed Pei Xun's words and wanted to change his fate against fate, how could he have been harmed by him.
Zhou Jin slowly closed the file and felt a sense of suffocation. He walked to the window and opened it.
The full moon hangs high outside the window, the clear light spreads everywhere, and the fresh air comes to face.
Zhou Jin took a few deep breaths, and just as the feeling of suffocation in her heart was relieved, she suddenly felt something in her heart. She raised her head again and looked at the full moon infatuatedly. Her thoughts seemed to have flown over the ridges of the roof, and she didn't know where she went.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but think of the Crown Princess's words, and her face turned red with shyness. She covered her cheeks with her hands, but her heart was beating faster and faster.
Su Shi was lying on the bed, resting his head on his hands, looking at the bamboo forest under the moon, his eyes as cold as the moonlight. He had been lying on the bed for nearly an hour, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
After the breeze, the bamboo leaves swayed.
When he thought that after tonight, the entire capital would be involved in a huge storm, and that he would soon be the center of the storm, Su Shi's mood fluctuated like a bamboo leaf swaying in the wind.
At the same time, a huge uneasiness surged in his heart, as if there was a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to strike at any time and deliver a fatal blow.
What's even worse is that until now, Su Shi didn't know where this poisonous snake was lurking, let alone when it would show its fangs.
Su Shi slowly closed his eyes, tried to calm himself down, and then carefully recalled what had happened in the past two months.
Although he had figured out a lot of things now, as more doubts emerged, Su Shi fell into trouble again, and he still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
In the past, he had been watching with a cold eye, and with his knowledge beyond that of the ancients, he could still see things clearly. But now he is trapped in a puzzle and it seems difficult to find the direction.
Suddenly, Su Shi had a strange feeling, as if he had missed a very important clue. However, he thought about it but couldn't remember it. In the end, he had to sigh and gave up helplessly.
Ngee Ann Square.
In a building full of exotic customs, Chang Muhua's expression became gloomy and solemn at this time.
A man as thin as a bamboo pole, with brown hair like him, stood in front of him, looking a little uneasy.
Chang Muhua said slowly: "Is it true that someone has been spying on Hongsi Fang since yesterday?"
Gao Qunkong nodded and continued: "And the people who came to spy should be two groups of people. The people who came to spy today should be from the government, and their experience and methods are much more sophisticated than the group of people yesterday."
"Did the people who came to spy yesterday find out who sent them?"
"Qianqiu Trading Company."
Chang Muhua immediately woke up and his eyes trembled slightly: "Su Shi! It must be Su Shi. Only he can discover the strangeness."
But then he frowned again and said to himself: "If Su Shi is not under house arrest by His Majesty, how could he know about Tianbao Pavilion?"
"Now we are probably being targeted by the government, what should we do next?"
Chang Muhua thought for a while and asked, "Has this matter been reported to Chenxiang Hall and Tianbao Pavilion?"
Gao Qunkong shook his head: "I haven't verified this matter yet, so I haven't contacted them yet."
Chang Muhua glanced at him, as if he had read through his mind, and said slowly: "Since everyone is on the same front now, we should warn them not to act out of anger."
"And I want to know whether Su Shi is only targeting Hong Sifang, or are both Chenxiang Hall and Tianbao Pavilion under his suspicion?"
Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "If Chenxiang Hall and Tianbao Pavilion are also targeted by the government, it means that Su Shi has seen through our plan."
Gao Qunkong said with some doubt: "Are you overestimating Su Shi? I don't believe he can be so powerful."
Chang Muhua just said lightly: "I never overestimate anyone. If this is really what Su Shi did, all we have to do now is think about how to transport the money out."
Gao Qunkong's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"
Chang Muhua's brown eyes seemed to shrink into needles: "The government won't take action against us now, because we have not violated Daqian's laws, so they can't do anything to us for the time being. But Su Shi will definitely Let them keep an eye on us, and they will never let us transport the money away."
When Gao Qunkong heard this, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Then what should we do now? If the money cannot be transported, wouldn't it be like what the Dagan people said, the water in the bamboo basket is in vain."
Chang Muhua smiled slightly: "But as long as we don't move, there is nothing Su Shi can do."
Gao Qunkong immediately shook his head and said: "If the money cannot be shipped out, then our plan will lose its meaning."
Chang Muhua smiled and said, "Even if this incident didn't happen, do you really think we could transport the money away?"
Gao Qunkong was surprised and said: "Don't you think this batch of silver will be shipped away?"
"How many carriages are needed to transport more than 8.7 million taels of silver? How can so many carriages leave the city without being interrogated by the officials and not arouse their suspicions?"
"Can't we use part of it to buy food like we did last time, and part of it be used to move the money away like ants?"
Chang Muhua couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "At present, all the food in the capital is in the hands of Qianqiu Merchant. Going to buy food now is undoubtedly asking for death. And the last time I used ants to move one million taels, it took nearly a month. Time has just run out. If we adopt this method this time, I am afraid that it will not take more than half a year to transport the more than eight million silver out of the city."
Gao Qunkong said in astonishment: "So, doesn't it mean we have nothing to do?"
Chang Muhua thought for a while and said slowly: "Tomorrow, send someone to give it a try. First, take a cart of silver out of the city and see if anyone checks or follows."
