At the roadside tea stall, Baili Xu was chatting with an old man.
"The Yi family didn't originally belong to us. It is said that an ancestor was an elder in Danxia Palace. After the Bai family had an incident, he was sent here to take charge. It was fine at the beginning. Whether the people above him are replaced, we ordinary people The days went by the same, and then..."
"The eldest master of the Yi family has two great things, one is wealth, and the other is lust. Not to mention that the Bai family's property is falling into his hands one after another. If other families are attracted by him, they probably won't be able to keep it. On weekdays, he doesn't get a dime, and even a few My brother was so angry that he moved to another city."
"Let's talk about lust. I heard that he originally had only one old wife in his family. Suddenly one day he fell in love with an actor and insisted on bringing her to his home. Oh, there was such a big fuss at that time that Mrs. Yi personally took her to the theater , wanted to beat the actor to death, but Mr. Yi arrived in time and became furious."
"From then on, Mr. Yi brought people to his house one after another, including girls from the building, people who sold singing and playing music, and good families who were greedy for wealth. Even the handsome young man could not escape... Later, he was killed by Yi. The eldest lady got upset and sent the person back to his ancestral home." Kanshu La
Baili Xu heard something was wrong and asked, "Master, did Mr. Yi suddenly become like this?"
The uncle was stunned for a moment: "That's what you said... That's true, but when you first come here, it's normal to be restrained, right?"
This is reasonable. Even with the backing of Elder Yi Ming, the Yi family still needs some time to claim the power left by the Bai family as their own.
Baili Xu asked: "When did that start? Master, do you remember?"
"About seven or eight years ago, right?" The uncle recalled.
Bai Mengjin has been gone for twelve years, which means that Mr. Yi was still very peaceful in the first five years.
Baili Xu asked some more questions, and finally thanked the uncle and took the initiative to pay for his tea.
He left the tea stall, turned around two streets, inquired about some more things, and finally stopped in front of a noodle stall at the entrance of the alley.
After sitting for a while, a carriage stopped at the intersection - civilians lived here, and the alley was narrow, so the carriage could not enter, so it had to park here.
The car curtain was raised, and a middle-aged woman and a young girl came out. Judging from their clothes, they looked gorgeous, but judging from her demeanor, it didn't look like she was from a wealthy family.
"Hey, Tao'er, what are you doing? You bought a lot of things." The proprietress of the nearby grocery store greeted them.
"What else can I do? Buy some dowry for Taoer." The middle-aged woman's face was filled with joy and she was indescribably proud.
The landlady said sourly: "Tao'er is here to enjoy the blessings. When she enters the Yi Mansion, if she doesn't have anything, why would you need to buy a dowry?"
"How can this be the same? No matter how good the Yi family is, what the family gives us is always what our parents want."
"Yes, yes, you two have nothing to say about your daughter."
After chatting for a while, the middle-aged woman took her daughter into the alley with her head held high. The guys following behind quickly delivered the goods in.
Baili Xu watched coldly, and after the carriage left, he went to ask the proprietress: "Sister-in-law, is this girl from my aunt's family the one chosen by Master Yi?"
"Yes!" The landlady's eyes lit up and she advised earnestly, "Brother, you are so talented that even a lady can marry you, but don't go astray. Tao'er is good-looking, but who knows? It’s been decided by Master Yi!”
Baili Xu didn't explain, nodded to her and thanked her, and left.
After leaving here, Baili Xu went to a few more places and didn't return to the inn until dark.
------------------
Ying Shaoguang had been sitting in the teahouse opposite Yi Mansion all day. Ji Xingge endured it for a long time and finally asked, "Brother Ying, what are you waiting for?"
The two of them changed their clothes before going out. They looked like young ladies in the mortal world. All the magic weapons and waistbands related to cultivating immortals were neatly put away. Even the fan in Ying Shaoguang's hand turned into an ordinary one. A folding fan sprinkled with gold, and the aura on his body was even more restrained.
He opened the folding fan and covered his lips, transmitting the voice into the secret: "Have you noticed anything strange after sitting here for so long?"
"What?"
"With so many people coming in and out of Yi Mansion, how many monks are there?"
Ji Xingge recalled: "It seems... just three or five? Isn't that strange? In such a small family, there are not many people who can practice."
"Really? Then what are the identities of these people?"
Ji Xingge was silent for a while and replied, "It seems like he is a steward."
"good."
After he answered, he stopped talking. Ji Xingge couldn't bear it and said, "Brother Ying, don't show off! What's the mystery here?"
Ying Shaoguang was a little helpless after being shaken by her: "Why don't you have any patience? Young Sect Master and Junior Sister Bai can actually tolerate you!"
Ji Xingge snorted: "They are not like you, they will speak out if they have anything to say! Speak quickly!"
Ying Shaoguang had no choice but to break it into pieces and explain to her: "The smaller the family, the more precious it is, and the cultivation resources must be given priority to the clan members. But you see, there are only a few monks coming and going in the Yi Mansion, and they are all in charge. , isn’t it unreasonable?”
Ji Xingge said: "Didn't I say that? Mr. Yi kicked out several brothers, which shows that he doesn't treat the people well."
"What about his children and grandchildren?" Ying Shaoguang asked immediately.
"..." Ji Xingge was reminded by him, "Yes, people's hearts are always biased. If you don't like your brothers, then he must have some love for you. Hey, could it be the concubines he married?"
"We'll figure this out later." Ying Shaoguang drank the last sip of tea, got up, paid, and left the teahouse first.
The two walked around Yi Mansion and finally found Bai Mengjin and Ling Bufei at the foot of the back mountain.
"How was it?" Ying Shaoguang strode over, "What did you gain?"
Bai Mengjin and Ling Bufei looked at each other and replied, "We checked and found that there are almost no casual cultivators left in the city."
Qingyun City is a fairy city where immortals and mortals live together. Twelve years ago, in addition to the Bai family, there were several small families and a lot of casual cultivators, but now they are all gone.
The four of them were silent for a while, and they all realized that something was wrong. Something must have happened in Qingyun City, something must have happened!
"Where is Baili?" After a moment, Ying Shaoguang asked, "Did he get any information from there?"
"Probably!" Ling Bufei took out the communication talisman, "How about I call him over."
At this time, Bai Mengjin suddenly turned his head, with a cold expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" Ling Bufei stopped.
"My puppet has been touched." After saying this, she flicked her sleeves and disappeared.
When she left, she placed the puppet in Xiaomei's residence. If it was touched, it meant...
The remaining three people looked at each other and immediately turned into light and rushed towards the slums.
