Feng Meiyu had no hope. He was actually already doubting the true identity of the so-called "evil object".
He had a vague idea in his mind.
That "evil object" may be a powerful warrior, but it is unlikely to be a ghost.
Now, he deliberately squeezed the silver ingot in a closed space just to verify his idea.
But then, the voice that appeared in his ears made him start to doubt himself again.
"Tell me something quickly." The voice that reached his ears began to sound impatient.
"Sir, I have already explored part of the ancestral hall at the back." Feng Meiyu said in a low voice.
"What do you call checking? As soon as I got close, I chatted with the little girl for a few words, and then I was so scared that I ran back. How can this be called checking?" The voice had a sarcastic tone.
Feng Meiyu's eyes widened and she was speechless for a moment.
He didn't expect that his every word and deed would be under the gaze of "evil things".
I wanted to make up some exaggerated plot, but now I can't say anything.
"I have nothing to say, I just know you are dishonest."
"Okay, this investigation ends here. You won't be needed for the time being. You keep the silver ingot and don't pinch it casually. Even if you do, huh, look at my mood. If I'm not in a good mood, don't count on me. I’ll take care of you.”
The sound stopped abruptly here.
Feng Meiyu couldn't get a word in.
And when he heard the voice message, he shouted again, but no one ignored him.
…
Bi Snake left the ancestral hall.
Naturally, she didn't enter from the outside. After the ancestral hall was sealed, there was no place to enter.
She stayed in the ancestral hall from the beginning. As for how she knew Feng Meiyu's actions... the reason was simple. She did not come alone, but brought Ouyang Qing and Gongsun Baba with her, and the three of them acted together.
Ouyang Qing is responsible for tracking Feng Meiyu, Gongsun Baba is responsible for the residence in the mansion, and the green snake moves randomly.
"What's the situation inside?" Bi She asked towards the back.
Ouyang Qing quietly emerged from a corner and touched the mustache on his mouth.
"There are a lot of people, and there are patrols, but the outside is lax and just for show, but the inside is very tight. I don't dare to go there. It's very murderous."
"It seems that this is a big den. Xiao Liuzi is probably inside. Ouyang Qing, you continue to watch outside, I will go back and do something." Bi She said.
"Where is Master Ziyan? Why haven't you seen him?" Ouyang Qing asked.
"She went to Ping'an County to handle business, and we left it to us." Bi She said.
"Okay, I'll stay and watch."
Ouyang Qing was actually very helpless. Hiding in the house, he was like a rat in the gutter, and his life was quite difficult.
However, he had no choice. If he didn't listen to Bi She, the burglar would be in big trouble. Moreover, his whole family had been exposed and had long fallen into Bi She's control.
He couldn't control what Bi She wanted to do, and he didn't want to know, so he felt tired.
…
Zi Yan was wearing a scholar's white robe, with fluttering sleeves. She was walking on the road, looking at the scenery on the roadside, as if she wanted to recite poems and compose poems at any time.
Following her is Mickey, a new girl from the secret guard. She trains extremely hard and her abilities are growing the fastest.
Mickey plays Zi Yan's little book boy, and she looks at Zi Yan with admiration.
"Sir, the scholar you pretend to be looks very much like the real one."
Mi Qi was really surprised. Zi Yan had never shown this level of disguise before. She saw a love story in a play about a man dressing up as a woman and going to school together. Women's clothing, how can I not see it?
"It's rare to see many strange things. I still have a lot of abilities." Zi Yan spat.
"...Remember to call me Master, not Sir."
"I understand, Master."
Zi Yan took Mi Qi into Ping'an County.
Unlike the shabby appearance outside the city, Ping'an County is not too far from the capital and is a county directly under the jurisdiction of the capital.
In the past, the officials who were sent to work outside the capital, and some officials who were favored by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, would be arranged to go to counties near the capital for training and cultivation, and to become familiar with government affairs.
Among them, Ping'an County is a place that cultivates officials. Officials who can be sent here will basically have a good future in the future.
"Selling candied haws."
"Fresh hair cake, come and try it."
"Stinky tofu, unique recipe of stinky tofu."
"..."
"This county is pretty good."
Listening to the cries coming from both sides of the street, Mickey's saliva almost dripped with greed.
"The appearance is quite good, but the gold and jade are ruined on the outside." Zi Yan said lightly.
"Master, didn't you decide to take another look?" Mickey said.
"Did you see it?" Zi Yan raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, young master, if you want to capture him, go directly to the county government office and don't hang around outside."
"Master Fang is a Jinshi after all. It is not easy to reach this day. It is not easy for Daqi to cultivate a capable official. Perhaps, what is his reason?" Mi Qi said with a smile.
"It depends on the situation, Fang Feirong, a scholar favored by the emperor, and a top figure in Daqi. What's the reason for him to embezzle the country's relief grain?"
Zi Yan sneered and said: "I will do my best to obey fate. I just don't want to wrongly accuse a high official. In my place, officials who commit crimes are as guilty as the common people."
"Master, can I buy candied haws on a stick?" Mickey said with a smile.
"Go ahead and bring me a bunch too," Zi Yan said.
Soon, Mickey jumped back and the two of them took candied haws to eat.
Mickey ate, licking the sugar coating on the outside of the candied haws with her lips, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Did you eat it when you were a child?" Zi Yan raised her eyes and asked.
"When I was very young, I remember my father took me to the town to buy new year's goods and bought me a candied haws. That candied haws was so delicious." Mickey sniffed.
"It tastes just like what we ate back then."
"From now on...you can eat it often."
Zi Yan still remembers that when Mi Qi first entered the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, she was so skinny and malnourished, so dirty and timid that she couldn't even see her face clearly.
Mickey is a poor child...
The parents she remembered were no longer alive.
A famine, followed by a plague, easily killed their entire family. Only Mickey wandered the streets alone and became an abandoned child.
Later, she was taken away by human traffickers. She was going to raise her for a while and send her to a brothel, but she escaped midway.
Finally, Zi Yan saw him on the street, and she personally took the abandoned child back to her home.
"I still remember the first time I met you, you wanted to bite me..." Zi Yan said with a slight smile.
"Remember, Master, at that time, I thought... the Master was a bad guy." Mickey smiled sheepishly.
"It's normal. Most of the people you meet outside who take you away are bad people." Zi Yan said.
