Chapter 450: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant ()

At this time, Cui Li, Han Tong and Han Zhao were sitting at one table, and the other three were eating at the next table.

Cui Li asked curiously, "Catching ghosts and fortune-telling? Are there still ghosts causing trouble here?"

Cui Li handed over one or two taels of silver.

The waiter's eyes lit up, and he looked around. Seeing that no one noticed him, he quickly put away the silver and whispered, "There really is a ghost here! It's best not to go out at night!"

Han Zhao said nonchalantly, "It's probably just someone playing tricks! This ghost comes out at night? Then this heroine will go meet this ghost tonight!"

The waiter changed his stance, stepped forward, and said firmly, "Sir, please don't disbelieve me. Mr. Ji from the east city was killed by a ghost. His son-in-law, Mr. Feng, was possessed by a ghost! Three days ago, when the ghost tried to kill Miss Ji, Taoist Wen, who was passing by, struck it dead with a palm."

Han Tong repeated, "Souls scattered? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The waiter continued, "Hey! Isn't that what everyone says? After the evil ghost screamed, Master Feng immediately fell to the ground, his face black and emitting a foul odor. Later, the officials performed an autopsy and found that Master Feng had been dead for more than ten days! Mr. Ji's daughter was so scared that she fainted on the spot. When she woke up, she didn't know whether to cry for her father's death, or for the ghost who killed her own father, or whether to be thankful that she had survived the ordeal. How pitiful! How pitiful!"

Cui Li asked, "According to what you said, Master Wen has only been here for a short time?"

"Of course, Taoist Master Wen arrived in our county three days ago. He went straight to Ji's Mansion as soon as he entered the city gate, just in time to stop that evil spirit from harming people! After that, many families in the city wanted to invite Taoist Master to their homes, so Taoist Master pretended to leave our Zhuolin County. In fact, he hasn't left yet! He once secretly contacted our store to reserve the century-old Guiyuan wine, and he might have come to pick it up just now."

Han Zhao's attention turned to the wine. "Guiyuan wine? Is it delicious?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "This Guiyuan wine, our boss only brewed three small jars in two years. He kept one for himself and sold two to Master Wen. How could I be so lucky as to drink such fine wine?"

The waiter wanted to continue talking when someone from the kitchen urged him, "Xiao Liuzi, serve the food quickly!"

"Come on!"

The waiter responded to the kitchen and said to Cui Li, "Enjoy your meal, madam. I'll be leaving now. Sorry to bother you. If you need anything, just call me."

After the waiter left, Han Tong asked, "Madam, that beggar is called 'Daoist Master Wen' and knows Daoist Master Qingyang and you. Could he be the master's adoptive father, the renowned Master Xuan?"

Cui Li smiled and nodded.

Han Zhao glanced outside and said in disbelief, "How could a dignified Imperial Preceptor disguise himself as a beggar? No wonder His Majesty and the Lord couldn't find him after searching for him for so long. This is so unbecoming of a great man. The Imperial Preceptor should be traveling in a grand ceremony, with thousands of people bowing to him."

The demeanor of a master? Kneeling?

Cui Li chuckled. Could it be that the Imperial Master had to act like an immortal and look superior?

Although that would be easier to fool people, every time the court officials saw the ethereal and radiant imperial master, they did not dare to act rashly and each of them bowed and greeted the imperial master with respect.

But in fact, this old man Xuanwen is young at heart and very lively.

"Do I need to pretend to be a master? Do I need to be worshipped by thousands of people?"

A middle-aged man in a green robe stood behind Han Zhao and said.

Han Zhao was startled, "You! Why are you standing behind me! No, you are...how did you get in? I've been looking at the door, you didn't come in through the door!" Xuan Wen smiled and said nothing, putting two jars of Guiyuan wine on the table. He had now washed up and changed into ordinary robes. He didn't dress like a Taoist priest, but his face was covered, and he didn't show his true face to the world.

Han Tong said respectfully, "Master Imperial Master, I am Han Tong, and I have come to search for your wife on the orders of our Lord. If our Lord knew you were safe and sound, he would surely be pleased."
