Yang Junsheng had already checked the county magistrate of Shuozhou when he came. He was a disciple of Master Zhou when he was in Beijing before he became an official.
He had Master Zhou's token in his hand. This disciple respected Master Zhou very much, so he agreed to Gu Qingjue's request and gave Gu Qingjue a copy of the drawings of Fan House. By the way, he also copied the Fan family that was registered in the Yamen. I also read the list.
Fan Yanshou is the person in power of the Fan family.
He is also Fan Huifang’s grandfather.
Luo Wushang led them towards the northeast.
It was about dozens of feet away from where they had just stood.
Luo Wushang pointed with his paw at the place where the jade pendant fell. There was a pit there that was exactly the same shape as the jade pendant.
"Fortunately, we picked it up."
He sang: "No one came to this wilderness, so no one discovered me."
They returned to the inn and stared at the jade pendant they picked up.
He must have evacuated too hastily, so he left this jade pendant in that place.
The clue ends here.
Gu Qingjue didn't know where to look next, but it seemed that everything was planned somewhere.
For example, the old woman not far from Fan's house and this jade pendant picked up outside the city to prove her identity.
Fan has been dead for almost a year.
The original pain seemed to be healed, but she was Gu Qingjue's mother after all.
Now that they had found Shuozhou, but the clue was lost here, Gu Qingjue must have felt disappointed.
"We were sitting in the inn and couldn't think of anything. Since we're here, why not go out for a walk and see the customs here?"
"Yixin is right. If you go out for a walk, you might discover something new."
Gu Qingjue put the jade pendant in his arms and smiled at Su Yixin: "Let's go, I heard there are many delicacies in this place. Don't you like to eat noodles? I heard that Shuozhou is famous for its fried noodles and salt-fried mutton."
"Well, let's try it."
Gu Qingjue was in a good mood, and Su Yixin was also in a good mood.
The four of them came out of the inn and went to a crowded and lively place. The buildings here were rough and wild, and there were Han Chinese and quite a few Khitan people on the streets.
I found a better restaurant and asked for a private room on the street.
As soon as the four of them sat down, Su Yixin felt a faint evil spirit flash past from the street.
"There's a demon!"
He sang: "It's just a little monster, it can't harm anyone."
Precisely because they couldn't harm anyone, they sat still.
Li Zhengzhen didn't move either.
If he had just come down from the mountain, Li Zhengzhen would have been killed if he encountered him.
Now we know that there is no need to exterminate all demons that pose no threat to humans and have never done evil.
The restaurant serves food very quickly. After a quarter of an hour, the food started arriving one after another.
The first dish was Shuozhou's famous salt-fried mutton. The waiter brought a small stove with a relatively flat pot on it. The pot was covered with mutton. In addition to simply marinating the mutton with salt, , no other processing was done, but there was no fishy smell, and there was a light milky fragrance.
The stove burned for a while, and crackling sounds started to sound one after another.
Then the aroma of mutton wafted out, and the aroma was overwhelming.
Next, the noodles are poured with oil, and the restaurant's unique roast chicken, roast goose, etc. are served.
After the mutton was fried, Su Impression couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it into his mouth. The taste was really different from the salt-fried mutton he had eaten in later generations.
It was the first time for Su Yixin to eat this kind of mutton, which had original flavor and overflowing milky aroma.
It's so delicious.
One pot was not enough, so they added another pot halfway through.
They ordered wine in the middle, but Su Yixin and Gu Qingjue were both too young, so Li Zhengzhen and Gao Ge drank the wine.
Su Yixin had almost finished eating, so she leaned against the window sill and admired the scenery downstairs.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a tall man.
Looking at his clothes, you can tell that he is from the Liao Kingdom, but he is not an ordinary Liao Kingdom person, but someone who has cultivated the golden elixir or above.
Su Yixin couldn't figure out the specific cultivation level.
Su Yixin pulled the clothes around Gao Ge's waist with her hands. Gao Ge looked at Su Yixin and saw Su Yixin pouting out the window. Following Gao Ge's eyes, he naturally saw the Liao man.
"He has mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, and strangely, there seems to be a faint demonic energy lingering around him."
Su Yixin's face turned solemn: "That means I didn't feel wrong."
That Liao man did have demonic energy in his body, but it was very weak. Even the white crane shadow of the Tong family that was filled with the demonic energy of Tong and his two mothers was not as good as it was.
"Would you like to follow me and have a look?"
Su Yixin shook her head: "Forget it, we came to Shuozhou to investigate the Fan clan's affairs, and don't worry about anything else for the time being."
The four of them came out of the restaurant after eating and drinking.
When they were about to walk forward and take a look, a middle-aged man walked towards them. The man was about the same age as Li Zhengzhen. It was that face that surprised both Su Yixin and Gu Qingjue.
Because this man is at least eighty similar to the late Fan.
The man did not see them.
Just pass them by.
Su Yixin asked Gu Qingjue if she wanted to follow him.
Gu Qingjue bent down slightly and came close to Su Yixin's ear. His warm breath brushed across Su Yixin's neck, and he heard Gu Qingjue's warm voice: "Beware of fraud."
Su Yixin turned to look at Gu Qingjue suspiciously.
What does Gu Qingjue mean by saying this?
When the man walked away, Su Yixin couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jue, what do you mean, that man's appearance was not accidental?"
"I wasn't sure at first."
Gu Qingjue looked towards the direction the man left, his eyes darkened: "But from morning to now, a series of things that happened together, everything is too coincidental."
"How to say?"
Gu Qingjue held Su Yixin's hand and walked slowly towards the inn: "There are very few residents on Futing Street where Fan Zhai is located. But not far from Fan Zhai, there is an old woman who also treats Fan Zhai. I have a deep memory of what happened that year. She told us everything we wanted to know. Although she didn’t know where the Fan family had gone, she told her that she had been watching at the door and no one came out. ."
"What's wrong with this?"
Su Yixin recalled what the old man said in the morning, but still didn't notice anything was wrong.
"If it weren't for what the old lady said, we wouldn't have thought that the Fan family would have a tunnel, let alone the jade pendant that fell in the grass."
After listening to Gu Qingjue's words, Gao Ge couldn't help but said: "Just like that, you think there is something wrong with the old woman at the door? In fact, even if you know that the Fan family has tunnels and do not understand the art of Feng Shui, it is not that easy to find the tunnels. matter."
"That's the second thing I doubt about."
Su Yixin asked: "Where?"
"That jade pendant."
When he first saw the jade pendant that Luo Wushang brought, he was excited and didn't think about it.
When I went to the inn and thought about it carefully, I found something suspicious.
