Chapter 1077 - 1072: The Monk Takes Charge
Empress Feng smiled and said.
"I have also heard of this matter. The third young master of Fengdong spent twenty million taels to buy the Taoyao Pavilion in the pleasure quarter. But I’ve heard that the person was an impostor, and even the silver note was fake. After all, that night, Mu San was having a feast in the palace, and both the Emperor and I were witnesses."
Empress Feng, with her keen senses, naturally heard about this.
"The Empress has also heard? But there’s more to this. Tu Suxia doesn’t care about these things. He couldn’t find the person, so he came to me, insisting that I uphold justice."
Emperor Longteng said with a headache.
"This matter is indeed strange. Tu Suxia doesn’t even know who the other party is, yet wants the Emperor to uphold justice? What kind of logic is this?"
Empress Feng said discontentedly.
"Tu Suxia doesn’t care about such things. You know his status, he’s a prominent figure in Fuzhou. Having lost face like this, naturally, he wants to regain it. But the problem is, aside from a stack of joss paper posing as silver notes, there’s no other clue. What can I do?"
Emperor Longteng was helpless with frustration.
Tu Suxia was also being unreasonable, coming to argue with Emperor Longteng every day, causing chaos in the Imperial Palace.
Unable to dismiss him and not wanting to offend him, the Emperor’s frustration was understandable.
"Your Majesty, don’t you think there’s something peculiar about this matter? In front of a hundred or so people, a person dared to impersonate Mu San, yet there are no clues afterward, and the other party even knows the Ghost Control Technique. This Spirit Art is not something ordinary people know."
Empress Feng pondered.
"How does the Empress know about the Ghost Control Technique?"
Emperor Longteng was somewhat surprised and looked at Empress Feng.
The details of the auction were told to Emperor Longteng when Tu Suxia came to complain.
Upon hearing this, Empress Feng’s expression stiffened slightly, then she smiled.
"I heard it from the Third Prince, who said that Tu Suxia caused a scene at Qingtian Academy."
Emperor Longteng nodded slightly.
"I also questioned Mu San, but he insisted he didn’t know what was going on."
"Since it’s related to ghost techniques, ordinary people naturally can’t solve it. Your Majesty might as well have Tu Suxia seek out the people at Taichang Temple. After all, no matter how formidable Tu Suxia is, he surely won’t dare offend the people of Taichang Temple, right?"
Empress Feng suggested.
"The Empress has a good plan, that’s indeed a good idea. If we have Feng Xi investigate, maybe we’ll find out the truth."
Emperor Longteng couldn’t help but applaud with praise.
He immediately ordered someone to summon Tu Suxia, instructing him to take the stack of joss paper to find Minister Fengxi.
Two hours later, in Taichang Temple, Tu Suxia met Monk Fengxi.
"The course of events is exactly like this. I implore the master to uphold justice for me."
Tu Suxia, who was very arrogant outside, was very respectful in front of Monk Fengxi, sitting upright and not daring to make a sound.
After speaking, he pushed the stack of joss paper in front of Monk Fengxi.
Monk Fengxi didn’t speak, but merely picked up a piece of joss paper and examined it.
"Master, have you discovered anything?"
Tu Suxia looked full of hope.
"Ghost Energy... It seems I was negligent. I didn’t expect that the Corpse King has already entered the city."
In Monk Fengxi’s eyes, the stack of joss paper in front of him was enveloped in a faint Ghost Energy.
Though faint, it was indeed the Ghost Energy he had been searching for.
"What king?"
Tu Suxia seemed to understand and not understand.
"Leave this matter to me. However, I advise Chairman Tu that those who act unjustly will ultimately bring about their own ruin. Taoyao Pavilion was never yours to begin with. It’s best if you let it go."
Monk Fengxi clasped his hands together, his eyes suddenly changing, focusing on Tu Suxia.
