When Yang Zhen returned to Changshan this time, the treatment she received was completely different.
There will be no more cynicism, and there will be no provocations from ignorant people. There are respectful and flattering smiles and warm invitations everywhere.
Naturally, he would not agree casually, and would follow a few adults to the compound where his wife usually lived.
After everything was packed, he walked out of the courtyard alone, turned around several corner doors and corridors, passed through the nine-winding corridor, and came to a courtyard shaded by green bamboos.
It was Cuizhuyuan where he fought four years ago.
Pushing the door open, there was no sound inside, except for one person waiting in the courtyard.
The man was in his forties, short and fat, with a humble smile on his face.
It’s Zhao Qianan whom I haven’t seen for several years!
Zhao Qian'an, the former manager of the Zhao family medicine garden in the county town, later worked as a shopkeeper in a medicine shop. He was punished to go mining for making false accounts and misappropriating nearly a hundred spirit stones!
"Brother An," Yang Zhen greeted him: "How have you been these past few years?"
"In reply to Mr. Zhao," Zhao Qian'an replied respectfully: "I worked in that mine for the past two years. It was really not a place for people to live. I couldn't see the sun every day, and I suffered death and hardship, and I couldn't even practice cultivation. I can’t guarantee it every day. I never want to live through those days again..."
As he spoke, he bent his knees and knelt down, with a sad voice: "Thank you, Mr. Xiaolangjun, for helping me! After being transferred to the family medicine garden last year, my life is finally much better. Wow. Woo hoo..."
Yang Zhen hurriedly went over to help him up, waved her hand and said: "You have been in the medicine garden for so many years, and you still have a lot of experience in managing spiritual plants. I also happened to have the meeting. It happened that the elder was talking about the management of the family medicine garden. I said it was because there were not enough manpower, so I mentioned it to you casually. It’s just a small effort, I don’t dare to take credit.”
That's what he said, but how could Zhao Qian'an think so? He followed up with some words of gratitude, and it took a while before it was over.
"Back then, you took good care of my brother Tiezhu in Yaoyuan," Yang Zhen warned: "In the future, as long as you work honestly and don't think about those crooked things, no one will treat you badly."
"If you are short of spiritual stones for cultivation..." He took out a cloth bag: "There are fifty spiritual stones in here, you can use them first. If there are not enough in the future, you tell me and I will help you find a way."
"How can this happen!" Zhao Qian'an hurriedly declined.
"Just take it if I ask you to." Yang Zhen stuffed the bag into his arms, and Zhao Qianan accepted it half-heartedly.
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Zhen finally got to the point: "I'm looking for you this time because I have something to tell you..."
Zhao Qianan immediately straightened up and put his ear close to it.
His face changed all the time, sometimes he was scared, sometimes he was nervous, sometimes he had a fierce look in his eyes, and finally he patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, young man, if I fail in this matter, you can drive me back to the mine." !”
"Okay!" Yang Zhen said with a smile: "After this is over, I have another thank you gift for my brother, but -"
His eyes suddenly became sharp: "This matter cannot be told to others, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Zhao Qian'an felt shocked and responded hurriedly.
"Okay, go out!" Yang Zhen finally ordered him: "You can wander around Zhao Town during the day, and you are not allowed to go home until dark!"
…
That night, Zhao Qian made his home.
The short, fat man was sitting on the futon with his eyes closed in concentration.
The constant trembling of his eyelids revealed his inner nervousness.
"No, this will be seen by others." He muttered in his heart, took a deep breath, and changed to a calming technique.
The effect was indeed much better. He quickly fell silent and his face became as calm as ever.
At some point, a figure appeared in front of him.
Zhao Qian'an seemed to be frightened. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw someone in front of him. He was so frightened that he wanted to shout loudly.
A burst of true energy locked his throat, leaving him speechless.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just going to ask you a few questions," the visitor said coldly, "As long as you answer me honestly, I will never hurt you. Do you understand?"
Zhao Qianan opened his mouth, as if like a chicken pecking at rice, and nodded desperately.
The energy passed away suddenly, and he regained his ability to speak.
"Are you the manager of Asahi Peak Medicine Garden?" the visitor asked.
"The younger one is not a steward," Zhao Qian'an denied: "The younger one made a mistake in the first two years and was removed from the position of steward. Now he is just a small chore in the medicine garden."
"Oh?" The visitor frowned slightly: "Let me ask you, do you have a man named Tian Tiezhu under your command?"
"Yes!" Zhao Qian'an asked flatteringly: "Sir, do you have something to do with him?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" the man yelled.
"Let me ask you again, how does this Tian Tiezhu look?"
"Appearance? Very ugly. There is a big scar on his face, like a ghost." Zhao Qianan looked disgusted.
"Where does he live?" The visitor's voice was full of surprise.
"This ugly ghost has no home of his own and lives in the medicine garden every day."
"You live in the medicine garden and never come out?" the visitor asked in surprise.
"Yes, he knows he is ugly and never wants to go out."
"Yes." The man was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Take out your token for entering and exiting the medicine garden, and let me see it."
"This..." Zhao Qianan hesitated. Seeing the impatience on his face, he immediately did not dare to delay any longer and quickly took out the token from his arms.
The visitor grabbed it, observed it carefully, and made some calculations in his mind.
"Look into my eyes and don't think about resisting," he said solemnly.
Zhao Qianan's heart trembled, and he understood that this was to erase his memory.
He knew that he couldn't resist, and he remembered Yang Zhen's promise. He felt a little calmer, but his face still looked frightened, and he looked up to look at this person tremblingly.
"Made, you look upright, but you do some sneaky things. You are worse than me." He cursed in his heart.
A ray of light shot into his eyes, and Zhao Qianan's mind suddenly went blank. His eyes were completely white, as if something had turned into ashes, and he fainted softly.
The visitor saw that he was completely unconscious, then he exhaled and continued to look at the token.
After a moment, he took out something from his storage bag, which was a piece of white and smooth jade, the size of a palm, with tiny runes densely engraved on it.
He pointed the jade stone at the token, and under the influence of his magic power, the jade stone instantly emitted a white light, enveloping the entire token.
After a moment, he put away the jade and stuffed the token back into Zhao Qianan's arms.
Looking at the jade again, there seems to be a shadow of a token in the middle.
The Internal Affairs Hall is responsible for the production of tokens for all the Yunxiao Sect, and the tokens for the entire Xu Kingdom's Immortal Realm are based on the Yunxiao Sect's tokens.
As an elite member of the Internal Affairs Hall, this person is well versed in the method of making tokens. In his hand, there is no token that cannot be cracked.
He smiled slightly, feeling that he had gained a lot tonight.
After another moment of silence, he used his spiritual consciousness to observe his surroundings. He felt that nothing was missing, and then his body swayed and he disappeared from the place.
