After the net was cast, Teng Fei asked the minions to go back. He said he was asking them to pack their bags, but in fact, he was giving them time to think about it.
Only after carefully weighing the pros and cons will they understand that finding and removing the murderer is their only way to survive.
All Ji Cangyu and others can do is wait, waiting for new clues to appear.
Ling'er went to have a follow-up visit with Teng Fei's wife, Wang Wanyu, and then personally cooked a medicated meal for Wang Wanyu to nourish Qi and blood. Of course, Ling'er did this not because he was idle, but because he wanted to find an opportunity to replenish Qi Yang's health.
So, Ling'er divided the cooked tonic soup into two portions, one portion was given to Bing'er to send to Wang Wanyu, and the other portion was kept warm on the stove for Qi Yang.
When the night got deeper, Ling'er secretly went to the backyard with a food basket.
South Garden has become quiet, and the lights in each room have been extinguished one after another.
When it was dark in the South Garden, Ling'er quietly approached the hut where Qi Yang lived.
Ling'er specially chose this time to come because she was worried that Qi Yang would go out again if it was later. Unexpectedly, when Linger opened the door and entered, there was still no one in the room.
Ling'er placed the food basket on the small cabinet beside the bed and smelled the smell of candles. She stretched out her hand to explore, and sure enough she touched a still warm candle.
Brother Qi Yang just went out! As soon as Ling'er realized this, she ran outside the house and saw a black shadow moving on the eaves not far away.
Ling'er followed without hesitation.
The black shadow moves very fast, how can Ling'er keep up with it with his Qinggong?
Ling'er could only stare at the black figure closely, not daring to stop for a moment.
Suddenly, the black figure jumped off the eaves. Ling'er locked his eyes on the courtyard and jumped down after him.
This is an uninhabited courtyard, it is pitch dark everywhere, and no movement can be heard. Ling'er has never been here before and doesn't know where this place is.
Ling'er looked into the room curiously, but it was very dark inside and couldn't see anything.
If she hadn't known that Brother Qi Yang was nearby, Ling'er felt that she would have been scared.
Qi Yang couldn't be found, but Ling'er didn't want to go back just like that. There wouldn't be anyone else here anyway, so she found a hidden step and sat down, watching the moon while waiting for Qi Yang.
Looking at the waxing moon hanging in the night sky, Ling'er remembered that today was already the eighth day of the lunar month, and the fifteenth day was not far away. Ling'er felt her heart throb in pain.
---
About half an hour later, Ling'er heard a strange sound.
She quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a stone door opened on the rockery in the yard. Some firelight shone from it, and then she saw the tall black figure from before walking out, and the one on the side A protrusion was twisted and the stone door was closed again.
The black figure did not stop, but flew up and left the courtyard.
Everything happened so suddenly, and before Ling'er could react, the dark figure left.
Is that black shadow really Brother Qi Yang? How could Brother Qi Yang know that place that looked like a secret passage? Ling'er couldn't help but have some doubts.
If the black shadow was not Qi Yang, Ling'er would not dare to follow him.
After the black shadow left, Linger got up and walked to the rockery. She imitated the shadow and twisted a raised stone, and sure enough she saw the stone door moving to the side again.
Inside the stone gate was a secret passage leading underground. Ling'er was looking inside curiously when he vaguely heard a weak male voice coming from underneath. The man seemed to be saying, "Let us go!"
Ling'er was startled, quickly turned the stone again to close the stone door, and then flew away.
It turned out that Ling'er regretted his reckless behavior when he opened the stone door. After hearing the sound coming from the secret passage, he was even more afraid that he would disturb the people in Beifeng Village and run away.
Ling'er didn't know whether the people imprisoned under the secret passage were good or bad people, and she didn't dare to act rashly. She understood that even if she wanted to save someone, she couldn't do it on her own. At this time, it was best for her to go to Qi Yang or Ji Cangyu and let them handle the matter.
When Ling'er returned to Nanyuan, Qi Yang was still not there, which made Ling'er even more certain that the shadow he had just followed was not Qi Yang.
Ling'er sat on the bed and held the food basket in her arms, fearing that the medicinal food she brought would get cold.
But after waiting for a while, Ling'er suddenly thought of the sound coming from the secret passage, and she couldn't sit still anymore. She placed the food basket on the low cabinet and went back to find Ji Cangyu.
---
But Ling'er still couldn't find Ji Cangyu after all. She didn't know that something happened in Beifeng Village that night until the next morning.
When Ling'er rushed over, the main hall was already full of people, and Ling'er saw Qi Yang standing in the crowd at a glance.
Qi Yang hunched his back and stood out among the crowd of people joining in the fun.
Teng Fei, Ji Cangyu, and Xu Jun were sitting in the main hall, and six minions were kneeling in front of them.
When Ling'er saw Zhong Gong and the others standing in the crowd, he walked through the crowd and stood with them. If it weren't for the fear of people being suspicious, Ling'er would naturally be more willing to stand with Qi Yang.
"Ling'er, why are you here too?" Zhong Long asked softly.
"I heard from Bing'er that something big happened last night." Ling'er also whispered.
"Something did happen, but it should be considered a good thing for us." Zhong Gong said with a smile.
"What's going on?" Ling'er asked curiously.
Zhong Gong pointed to the minions kneeling in the hall and asked, "Do you still remember those seven guys who came from Jinniu Village?"
"Remember! Huh? Why did it become six?" Ling'er frowned.
"Because the other person is dead." Zhong Gong said.
"Ah?" Ling'er looked at Zhong Gong in shock.
"You don't have to feel sorry for him. He doesn't deserve it! He is an accomplice of the murderer in Gaoyakou Village. Last night, he saw six of his companions who came to Beifeng Village together and wanted to say something they shouldn't have said, so he wanted to take action to kill him. Six people were silenced. But he didn't expect that he was unlucky and failed to commit the crime but exposed his identity. In the end, he had to take poison and die." Zhong Gong said.
Ling'er was even more surprised when he heard this.
"When that person was planning to kill someone, he mentioned that the six people in front of him had an ulterior motive when they came to Beifeng Village together. And that person's desire to silence them shows that they must know some secrets. Isn't this true? , Master and Master Teng are interrogating them." Zhong Gong said.
"I see." Ling'er nodded and said, "Fortunately, these six people were not silenced, otherwise all the clues would have been lost!"
"No! Thanks to Uncle Yang who arrived in time and saved the person." Zhong Long said softly.
"Uncle Yang? Are you saying that it was Uncle Yang who saved these six people?" Ling'er was startled and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qi Yang, who was not far away. Qi Yang was seen listening carefully to the interrogation of Ji Cangyu and the others.
