"What?"
Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya really didn't expect this answer.
"Taoist Priest, what do you mean... Wasn't the jade plaque of Empress Cansheng first enshrined in Qianku Temple?" Liang Jiunan asked quickly.
Taoist priest Yun He sighed softly and shook his head:
"In the early years, Pindao built the Cansheng Niangniang Temple here so that the poor families whose children died in infancy could have a place to comfort their souls."
"Moreover, most of the children who die in infancy are due to lack of money for medical treatment. Almost all of them come from poor families."
"Think about it, you two, how could a poor Taoist get such an expensive jade tablet of the Cansheng Empress for no reason?"
"Initially, it took about half a year after the Cansheng Empress Temple was established."
"At that time, Mrs. Pei would still be walking around Yangzhou City."
"After she found me, she told me that she dreamed day and night that too many babies had died in Yangzhou City, so in her dreams, those children who died unjustly cried incessantly."
"So, she was troubled and thought about what to do for these children."
"While talking, I gave Pindao a jade plaque."
"The person who carved the jade plaque is none other than Empress Cansheng. Her craftsmanship is extremely good."
"And what surprised Pindao the most is that the material of the jade tablet is not ordinary jade, but spiritual jade that can be used by practitioners to pray, pray, and cast magical instruments."
Liang Jiunan couldn't help but said: "Taoist Priest, Mrs. Pei must be an ordinary person. She gave you a large number of spiritual jade. Didn't you...have you ever had doubts?"
Taoist priest Yunhe shook his head:
"A poor Taoist is first a person who practices Taoism, and then he is a person who practices Taoism."
"The old lady spent a lot of money to buy so much spiritual jade and carve it into a statue of the Cansheng Empress. She just hopes to stay here, consecrate and pray for it, and sell it to people who are willing to buy it."
"The price is much lower than the spiritual jade on the market."
"As a poor man, I asked myself... This can be considered a merit, so I didn't ask too much."
"Of course, after the sale, Qiankuguan has not tainted the silver at all, but will return it intact to the old lady. This was also determined from the beginning."
"As for this Liuzhu..." Taoist Master Yunhe frowned. After taking the Liuzhu and looking at it carefully, he nodded:
"The texture of this flowing bead artifact is indeed consistent with the jade of the Cansheng Empress Jade Brand."
"When it comes to efficacy...it is indeed a new approach."
"It's just a foreign object, but it can be used by mortals to unleash the power of a practitioner."
"But... there are advantages and disadvantages. If you use this thing too much, the magic power in it will be exhausted, and your cultivation will be lost."
"What's more, it can also absorb the energy and spirit of others, which is actually an evil thing!"
"As for whether this matter has something to do with Mrs. Pei, to be honest, Pindao can't guarantee it."
"It's not difficult to buy spiritual jade, so..."
Liang Jiunan nodded, then thought about it and asked another question:
"That's right, Taoist Priest."
"You also said before that Lord Pei Ji's concubine Cui Huan will come alone to buy the jade token of Empress Can Sheng."
"Also, the Pei family buys a large number of jade tablets every year."
"But if... these jade tablets were made by Mrs. Pei, why..."
Taoist priest Yunhe showed a look of helplessness:
"Pindao once asked Mrs. Pei about this matter."
"But what the old lady means is... they are them, and she is her. As the saying goes, brothers still settle accounts."
"Beyond the words, the relationship between the old lady and Lord Pei Ji... seems a little subtle."
"It is precisely because of this that the old lady suddenly came to perform rituals, which made Pindao feel a little strange."
…
After a cup of tea, Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya left Qianku Temple.
They carefully reviewed what Taoist Master Yun He said. The context was clear and the logic was clear. It should not be a lie.
In this case, the key point is Mrs. Pei?
After all, an ordinary woman's family, because of a dream, spent a lot of money to make a jade token for the Cansheng Empress.
No matter how you think about it, it seems a little strange.
"It seems that now we can only retrieve the information about Mrs. Pei and take a look." Yulangya said in a deep voice: "Do you want to tell the boss about this matter?"
Liang Jiunan shook his head:
"He hasn't slept well these days, let him have some rest."
"It's just a guess now, don't make the boss too nervous."
"After all, a powerful family is involved, so we'd better be cautious."
“It’s not too late to report it when you find substantive evidence!”
After the two discussed, they went directly to the Intelligence Department of the Demon-Conquering Division. After finding a quiet room, a colleague from the Intelligence Department placed a storage ring in front of the two of them and said:
"The information recorded here is the information you need. A lot of the information is not stored in the Yangzhou Demon Subduing Division, so it is a replica."
"After you finish reading, remember to return it to me."
The two of them didn't waste any time and took out stacks of files from the storage ring.
Almost not even caring about eating, the two of them went from day to night.
finally:
"Sister Langya, look at this!" Liang Jiunan seemed to have discovered something and pointed to something in the file:
"As mentioned above, Mrs. Pei has four children."
"Among them, her biological children are three daughters!"
"Sir Pei Ji... was just the adopted son in the name of Mrs. Pei at that time. Mr. Pei Ji's biological mother should be his concubine who has died of illness!"
Yu Langya's eyebrows skipped a beat, and after taking a look, he couldn't help but frown.
Generally speaking, family separation is not allowed when parents are still alive.
Because of this, when Pei Ji first came to Yangzhou City, without Mrs. Pei sitting in charge, he would have had no chance of gossiping.
But Mrs. Pei...why did she separate from her husband and come to Yangzhou City with an unrelated son?
Where are her three daughters?
At this moment, Yu Langya's pupils shrank: "Nine Difficulties, Mrs. Pei's daughter, could it be..."
Liang Jiunan's expression also changed: "The Immortal in the Urn? That shouldn't be the case. In Yang Lian's memory, the children who were offered as offerings to the Immortal in the Urn were all bought children!"
"What if it's not the immortal in the urn, but... the art of washing women in the long room?" Yu Langya's eyebrows jumped: "Speaking of which, what if Mrs. Pei really has something to do with Changshengtian."
"Then, the person who taught the Pei family the art of washing women to give the baby a chance of survival...can't we guess that it was Mrs. Pei?"
Liang Jiunan's pupils shrank and he immediately said:
"Sister Langya, I'm afraid we have to go to Pei Mansion again to find out the truth of the matter!"
"Without further ado!"
"If my inference is correct, I probably understand why Yang Yun and Yang Lian want to attract people from the Demon-Conquering Division to the Yang Family Villa!"
