Moreover, the shopkeeper of Yipinju is very good at business. Knowing that He Yan is an advocate of Wu Shi Powder, he simply supplies Wu Shi Powder to He Yan for free. No matter how much He Yan takes, he will not charge a penny.

Even Cao Liang couldn't help but admire Yipinju's business acumen. He Yan's consumption alone was still worth a few dollars, but the advertising effect he brought about was a thousand-fold return.

If Cao Liang were He Yan, he would not care about this five-stone gift for free. It would be cost-effective to charge Yipinju at least one million yuan in advertising fees a year.

People in this era have not been able to measure the advertising value of celebrities.

As the leader of the metaphysics school, He Yan's words and deeds are naturally imitated by countless fans. He takes Yipinju's Five Stone Powder, and other people naturally rush to buy Yipinju's Five Stone Powder, even if the price is too high.

It's several times more expensive than other stores, but it can't stop these people's enthusiasm.

It is not surprising that a star like He Yan is advertising, and Yipinju’s Wushisan has no worries about sales and monopolizes 80% of Luoyang’s market.

Warlocks who knew the formula of Five Stone Powder were already very rare, and now they were all employed by major shops. For a while, Ah Fu couldn't find any warlocks at all.

Cao Liang did not dare to mix it randomly. After all, Wu Shi Powder is a kind of poison. If the ratio is appropriate, the person who takes it will only be chronically poisoned and will not be poisoned all at once. If the ratio is improper, the person who takes it may be poisoned.

His life was cut short.

If it really kills people, especially if it poisons those prominent scholars and celebrities, Cao Liang will definitely not be able to live with it.

Matters where human life is at stake are not something to be trifled with.

Cao Liang told Ah Fu: "This matter cannot be rushed, but it can be done slowly. You first find a way to get close to those warlocks and try to make friends with them. After you get familiar with them, you can try to recruit them with high salary. In short, no matter what method you use,

, no matter how much it costs, we have to invite a warlock who knows how to prepare Five Stone Powder."

Afu accepted the promise and obeyed his orders.

The next day came the day when Cao Liang was on duty. Cao Liang could only worry about the matter at hand and rushed to the palace early in the morning.

During the inspection, Cao Liang found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace. The Habayashi Lang who were usually on guard duty seemed to be whispering and talking about some things in a low voice.

However, when they saw Cao Liang approaching, these Yulin Lang immediately kept silent and pretended to be nonchalant.

Cao Liang was a little puzzled. It seemed that something must have happened in the palace last night, but he was not very familiar with these Yulin Langs, and they did not dare to gossip in front of their superiors.

When they arrived at Jingyang Palace, they met Zhang Tong. Before Cao Liang could ask, Zhang Tong took the initiative to tell Cao Liang that this guy really couldn't hide anything in his heart.

"Brother Cao, something big happened in the palace last night!" Zhang Tong lowered his voice.

"What happened?"

"The famous person next to the late emperor, Huangmen Shilang Baixie, was arrested last night. He was accused of embezzling the emperor's royal belongings. It is said that it was the decree of the Queen Mother."

To ward off evil spirits?

Ji Xie was the most favored eunuch when the late Emperor Cao was alive, and the most popular person in the harem. If Cao was still alive, who would dare to touch Ji Xie?

As soon as the person leaves, the tea becomes cold. Without Cao's protection, Jixie is nothing, and becomes a fish belly at the mercy of others. It is estimated that Jixie once relied on Cao's favor and did many domineering things in the harem, and suffered a lot.

It is inevitable for people to be jealous.

Now that the late emperor has passed away, the forces in the palace that are not in harmony with Jixie will inevitably add insult to injury. The so-called embezzlement of palace property is just a crime of desire. Even if you can't find this excuse, it is not difficult to find another one.

Cao Liang met Bixie once, on the day Cao died. Before Cao's death, Bixie disguised himself, sneaked into the Gaolinghou Mansion, and conveyed Cao's secret edict to the Gaolinghou Mansion.

Cao Liang had never had any other interactions with Bixie before, but in that only meeting, Bixie still left a lot of impression on Cao Liang.

He was calm and restrained in warding off evil spirits and won Cao's trust. Otherwise, Cao would not have entrusted him with such an important secret edict.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after Cao's death, there were already people eager to take action. Even if a tree is as beautiful as a tree in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Even after so many years of glory in warding off evil spirits, there is no way to escape the fate of being plotted by others.

"Oh, it's him, but it's just a poor excuse for embezzling palace property or something." Cao Liang said calmly. Secret edicts cannot be leaked easily, so Cao Liang pretended not to know how to ward off evil spirits and said calmly.

"That's not what happened. I heard that Zhang Dang of the Zhonghuang Sect and Ji Xie are not on good terms. He has been reprimanded by Ji Xie many times, and he has always held a grudge. This time Ji Xie was investigated, he must have something to do with Zhang Dang."

Zhang Dang is another eunuch. When Cao was still alive, he did not show his prominence. After Cao's death, Zhang Dang, who was good at maneuvering, took refuge with Cao Shuang and quickly gained power. If he did not eliminate evil spirits, how could Zhang Dang ascend to power?

Being able to get permission from the Queen Mother, it seems that Zhang Dang is very energetic.

Cao Liang was silent. The battles within the palace were always bloody and cruel. As the emperor's guard, Yu Linlang naturally had no right to interfere with the affairs of the palace.

I just don’t know if Zhang Dang will reveal the secret edict if he is arrested and imprisoned. If the truth is exposed to the world, the secret edict will not be a secret edict.

While they were talking, they saw Bixie being escorted by two officers from the Tingwei Mansion, walking from the harem to the front hall.

Although there was no rope to tie him up, the disheveled Jiuxie's face was pale and bloodless.

The exorcist who was once unparalleled in the palace was reduced to such an extent. People couldn't help but look sideways. Cao Liang, Zhang Tong and other Yulin Lang all looked over.

Jiuxie's face was ashen and his expression was numb, as if he was numb to everything.

Being imprisoned in the palace is just a temporary measure. When dawn comes, he will be handed over to Dali Temple together with the evidence, and the evil spirits will be thrown into the sky prison.

Behind them is a small car containing countless palace objects, all of which are royal belongings of His Majesty the Emperor. They seem to be real treasures.

When passing by Jingyang Hall, he glanced at Cao Liang with his evil eyes, nodded slightly to him, and then quickly moved his eyes elsewhere without waiting for anyone to notice, starting from Cao Liang.

He passed by him as if he had never known him before, and walked straight away without looking back.

Cao Liang didn't understand the meaning of Jixie for a while. He nodded lightly, definitely more than just saying hello. His warning eyes seemed to want to tell Cao Liang something, but with so many people present, Jixie didn't dare to say anything at all.
