Chapter 480 - Calamity
Chapter 480: Calamity
Apart from targeting Xie Mangshan, Xie Pinggang thought about it and started to investigate the situation of the people serving in the army.
He discovered that over the years, quite a number of people had died due to their job.
In other words, many of the supervisors in charge of supervising the people serving in the army had received bribes, treated them differently, and even mistreated the people who could not afford to offer benefits!
Xie Pinggang slowly found evidence for these situations.
He was very clear that Xie Mangshan’s official position was obtained through his father’s connections. Now that he had harmed many people, the Xie family had to bear a part of the responsibility.
He accepted the mistake.
However, it would take time to find evidence. At that moment, Xie Mangshan had already received the news.
Xie Pinggang was not a fool. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he acted in private and did not let Xie Mangshan know that it was him who did it.
Xie Mangshan’s mind was filled with Master Mo’s words.
It came true!
It had not even been three days and his official position was gone!
His glabella was dark… There would be a calamity coming?!
Xie Mangshan was really panicking.
This Master Mo was an unworldly expert and was very famous. She was on good terms with nobles, and she did not recognize him in the past, so it was even more impossible for her to target him. Therefore, Master Mo simply predicted about him losing his official position!
Xie Mangshan could not think of what Master Mo would covet him for.
In terms of money… it was said that a piece of broken wood in the Fortune Pavilion could be sold at a hundred taels of silver!
He was just a nobody. Why would the master lie to him?
Thinking of this, Xie Mangshan could not wait any longer and immediately went to the Fortune Pavilion.
Unfortunately, on the first day, Master Mo was not around.
On the second day, she was still not around.
Now that he had no more work to do, he simply stayed at the Fortune Pavilion and waited until late. Shopkeeper Chang listened to Xie Qiao’s order and let people in, ignoring him.
After five or six days, Xie Qiao finally appeared.
Xie Mangshan had changed.
After a few days, his beard had grown a little longer, and his face was slightly more beaten. He looked much older.
“Master!” With a thud, Xie Mangshan directly knelt.
He tugged at Xie Qiao’s Taoist robe, “Master, save me! I listened to you and temporarily forbade them from getting married, but this official position of mine… is gone. A-Am I going to face a great calamity? I have a feeling that I won’t be able to live much longer these days!”
This misfortune really made one’s teeth clench after drinking cold water.
On the first day of packing up and leaving, he actually choked while eating. If he had not patted his chest a few more times, he might have choked to death!
“These few days, even when I was walking, someone would accidentally bump into me. Also, when I opened the door, I was pushed back by the door and almost choked. Yesterday morning, bird droppings fell on my head. Oh right, most importantly, on the way to the Fortune Pavilion today, I was almost trampled by a horse’s hoof!”
One after another, it was as if the heavens had decided to kill him!
Xie Mangshan told the master everything that had happened to him in the past few days.
Xie Qiao smiled mysteriously.
His misfortune had nothing to do with his glabella turning dark at all. The reason being she was only spewing nonsense that time.
However, as long as he believed that his luck was bad, even the slightest incident would be magnified.
The longer it took, the more bad things would happen to him.
Not only that, a timid person like him would definitely be in a daze due to this, and he would feel uneasy. As a result, the probability of an accident happening would be higher.
“Your luck is bad. If you don’t remove the evil energy in your body, even if you can pull through, you won’t have a good life…” Xie Qiao said again.
That was true.
A person’s appearance could determine many things. For instance, right now, Xie Mangshan was flustered and his spirit was unstable. The dark energy and evil energy would come to him easily, so he would continue to have bad luck.
Moreover…
Xie Qiao made some predictions and found that he had indeed met with a calamity!
