"Since it's a courtyard, it has to look like a courtyard. First, hire some reliable servants.
We have to have cooks and maids, and then throw away all the old decorations inside…"
After walking around the courtyard, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and instructed,"
"Right, bengong can only leave the palace once every three days, and must return to the palace at night.
Therefore, you have to leave two people here to watch over them in case someone secretly sabotages them.”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Naturally, Li Qing would not reject the Crown Prince's orders.
"Okay, let's call it a day. Let's go back to the palace first and come back in three days!”
Li Chengqian nodded and said.
With Li Qing following him, he walked out of the courtyard and toward the carriage not far away.
However, at this moment.
An old man dressed as a fortune teller carrying a white cloth banner.
He was stumbling towards Li Chengqian.
As Li Chengqian's guard commander, Li Qing immediately blocked in front.
The guards hiding in the dark also drew their sabers.
The old fortune-teller suddenly walked to Li Chengqian's side, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He pointed at Li Chengqian and said loudly,
"Young Master, I see that you have a bad omen. I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster today!”
"Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Li Chengqian himself had yet to open his mouth when Li Qing's face darkened as he started cursing.
Who do you think you are, old thing? How can a swindler like you swindle people?
But hearing this old man's words, Li Chengqian's eyes also lit up.
He raised his hand to stop Li Qing from going up to beat him up. He chuckled and said,
"Oh? Old man, you actually know how to read omens?”
The old fortune-teller's heart skipped a beat when he saw Li Qing's ferocious expression.
However, when he saw the interested expression on the young master's face, he immediately pretended to be an expert.
"Young Master, I'm not boasting, but I've done some research on reading ominous omens!
In the entire Chang 'an Fortress, I'm at least one of the top three people who can sense good or bad omens.”
Li Chengqian nodded and said with some 'suspicious',"
"Empty words are useless. I won't believe you unless you calculate my identity first!”
"Young Master, this guy is a swindler. Don't believe his nonsense.”
Li Qing urged anxiously.
The old fortune-teller's face darkened, and he said,"
"The old madam calls him Master God-Diviner, and today is fated to see that your young master has a bad omen.
If you continue to make excuses, this old man will turn around and leave. At that time, don't blame this old man for not warning you!”
"Yes, Li Qing, this fortune-teller is very knowledgeable about bad omens. I want to see his ability.”
As Li Chengqian spoke, he gave Li Qing a look.
Li Qing, who had become very familiar with his crown prince in recent days.
After seeing this look, she immediately felt relieved.
On the other hand, when the old fortune-teller heard that the young master in front of him had fallen for his trap, his smile became even brighter.
He nodded with a solemn expression, his fingers constantly pinching around as he prepared to speak.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile,
"Oh right, before you read my fortune, let me tell you a few things to take note of.
Firstly, you can't say anything like 'your father is alive, your mother is dead', or else I'll get someone to break your legs.
Secondly, he couldn't say something like 'three people in the peach garden became sworn brothers, and one plum tree grew alone.' Otherwise, he would knock out his teeth.
Well, that's all for now. Fortune teller, you can start your performance!”
This…
The old fortune-teller, who was smiling brightly just a moment ago, suddenly froze. He was dumbfounded.
Because before Li Chengqian said these words.
He was about to use these two words to show off his fortune-telling ability.
But now that the young master in front of him had said it, what else could he say?
Moreover, the person who could say these two words must have a deep understanding of this kind of deception.
How could he fool her so easily?
For a moment, the old man understood that he had kicked an iron plate.
Looking at the tall and strong man who was rolling up his sleeves, the old man's forehead was soon covered in sweat.
"Young Master, this old man was blind. I didn't expect to see an expert today.
This…this, please give this old man some face, young master. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. We'll meet again.”
Seeing that this old fellow wanted to slip away, Li Chengqian was unhappy.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Didn't you say that I have a bad omen? Tell me, where is my bad omen hidden?”
"There's no bad omen. Young Master, there's no bad omen on you.”
The old fortune-teller was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. Unfortunately, Li Qing pressed him to the ground in the next moment.
Li Chengqian squatted there and looked at the disheveled old fortune-teller. He smiled and said,
"Old man, tell me, did you come here today especially for this rumored haunted house?
I'll let you off today.
Who knows, this Young Master thinks that you're in for a bloody disaster!”
Hearing this, the fortune-teller's heart turned cold.
Well, not only was he familiar with all kinds of scams, but he also knew why he was here.
He had calculated it in his heart, so he did not lose in vain.
Thinking of this, the fortune-teller did not deny it anymore and obediently told him the whole story.
Li Chengqian nodded and said,"
"It's about the same as what I thought. First, pretend to be mysterious and lower the price, then buy it at a low price.
Li Qing, get someone to send this old man to the yamen and give him a lesson.
Although he didn't say it, I knew that he definitely had accomplices. I'll leave two more people tonight and clean up the tail.”
"Yes, sir!"
Li Qing received the order and called a guard over to escort the old man away.
……
"What happened? How did the old charlatan fail this time?”
In a hidden corner, there were two young men looking in the direction of Li Chengqian and the others.
When they saw the fortune-teller being taken away, one of them asked with a surprised expression.
The other was the short young man who had spoken to the fierce man earlier.
At this moment, he said,
"It doesn't matter. The old fraud has entered the yamen more than once or twice.
Let's act according to plan and scare the guy who bought this house tonight.”
After saying a few words, the two young men quietly left.
Of course, when they came back at night, they might regret their decision.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, they did not have the strength to fight back against four highly skilled palace guards.
