In Yunzhou, at the prefect's house, Saint Ye Ning and her party were naturally treated with great grandeur.
But it was not the prefect Zhao Yuru who entertained them, but his daughter Zhao Tian.
The reason was that Magistrate Zhao was seriously ill.
The prefect is seriously ill, so many things can only be put on hold temporarily. Just like the Taichu Sect's request for help, it is difficult to move forward at the moment because it involves a wide range of things.
Ye Ning raised her brows slightly and decided to visit Magistrate Zhao who was seriously ill.
"All the reputable doctors in the area have been here, but they are all useless. They can't even see the wind. Please ask the Holy Lady for help."
Miss Zhao Tian, dressed in a green undershirt, led the way obediently, with a sad look on her face.
Ye Ning nodded.
In the room, Magistrate Zhao was lying on the bed. After seeing Ye Ning and his party, he nodded slightly to express his apology.
Ye Ning waved her hand and asked the accompanying doctor Xiaozhu to go and check.
Xiaozhu felt the magistrate's pulse and asked some questions.
Magistrate Zhao all answered feebly, their eyes dull.
After that, Ye Ning and the others withdrew without much clue.
After leaving the Zhao Mansion, Ye Ning stood there wearing a bamboo hat and black clothes. Even though the female subordinates around him were not short, she still looked like she stood out from the crowd.
"How is it?" Ye Ning looked at his subordinate Xiaozhu and asked.
The girl who used to like to watch people kiss murmured: "I always feel that the prefect is a bit world-weary."
"Weary of the world?" Ye Ning asked confused.
"Well, it looks like the little girl my subordinates have seen before who committed suicide for love. It feels very similar." Xiaozhu thought.
Next to him, another subordinate asked in confusion: "The prefect misses a woman?"
Xiaozhu ignored her and continued: "I feel that this is not a fear of wind, but a heart disease."
Ye Ning thought about it: "Do you think it's a little strange?"
"Um?"
"Zhifu Zhao has five sons and three daughters. Even if he is sick, it is not Miss Zhao who should entertain us." Ye Ning analyzed.
In this world of monks, the status of men and women is not as clear-cut as in the history books Jing Yue has read. Women can also be officials and generals, but the habit of sons inheriting their father's legacy is still retained.
Logically speaking, if Magistrate Zhao is ill, he should let his son take charge instead of sending a daughter.
Xiaozhu analyzed: "Is it possible that Mr. Zhao is in trouble?"
"What a coincidence."
As a result, Xiaozhu suddenly reminded: "Saint Girl."
Outside the house, Miss Zhao, who had previously received them, came out.
She walked over quickly without any servants with her.
Zhao Tian looked a little hesitant. After looking around, he finally said respectfully to Ye Ning: "Holy girl, there is something that I don't know whether to say or not."
"Speak." Ye Ning's answer was straightforward.
Zhao Tian gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, it is a helpless move for the family to let the little girl come out to receive you this time, because the third brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother are missing, and dad won't let them talk, but I am still afraid."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Ye Ning and others changed slightly.
After Miss Zhao left, Ye Ning and others had some understanding of the current situation in Yunzhou.
Magistrate Zhao is indeed suffering from heart disease.
Yunzhou seems to be peaceful recently, but in fact there have been many missing persons cases. Unexpectedly, even the Zhao family's young master has not been spared.
You must know that Zhao Yuru is the prefect, and he is also the top figure in Baidi City, not to mention covering the sky with one hand.
He is not a monk himself, but just looking at the guards on the surface, Ye Ning just took a look, and there are at least three monks with small magical powers.
The imperial court's control over Shu was weak, but this did not include Baidi City.
It's a bit weird that the Zhao family's young masters can disappear here, and there are three of them, missing twice.
The first time they disappeared, it could be said that the Zhao family was careless, but the second time two people disappeared in a row, isn't this a bit of a lie?
Who is so capable?
According to what Miss Zhao said, a lot of people have gone missing in Baidi City recently. Magistrate Zhao was also a little worried about this. It was not until his three sons suddenly disappeared that they became seriously ill.
"Go to the Yamen and ask about who else is missing in this city." Ye Ning thought.
After her men left, she couldn't help but look at the slightly gloomy sky and murmured, "It's been such an eventful time."
Just when the saint girl was worried about something, Jing Yuezheng and Nv Shangfeng were choosing a house in the city with a sweet look on their faces.
No, it’s not female porn these days.
Well, in the Spring Breeze Gang, the two of them were the top and the subordinates, but once they came out, they became a sweet couple.
The two walked into the dental shop.
A tooth man came up to us and said, "Master and madam, do you want to buy a property?"
Jing Yue nodded, and Yazi couldn't help but smile, praising the two of them for their good looks and their youthful success.
The eldest lady's cheeks turned red when she heard the title "Master and Madam", but she liked hearing it very much.
This Yazi is actually similar to Jing Yue. He has lied countless times in his life, but this time he really didn't lie.
Jing Yue and the eldest lady were both new arrivals and were not familiar with Baidi City, but after listening to the introduction from this experienced old man, they had a vague idea of the place.
Baidi City is divided into two parts: inner and outer cities. The inner city is built on the mountain and is at a higher place. It is a place where dignitaries and wealthy merchants gather. The environment there is by no means comparable to the mixed environment of the outer city.
The eldest lady had no idea about buying a house, but after listening to Yazi’s introduction, she chose the inner city.
Because she heard that someone was stealing livestock in the outer city, wouldn't the lamb be in danger?
It can be said that you have to choose the inner city for the sake of sheep.
When Yazi heard that this was a wealthy owner, he suddenly became more serious.
In fact, the inner city is also divided into levels. The area centered around the prefect's residence is naturally the most expensive, but Jing Yue and the eldest lady do not value this.
After determining a vague range, Jing Yue and the eldest lady began to choose the houses they wanted to visit.
But as he looked at it, Jing Yue suddenly discovered a house with a wrong price and asked, "Is this house near Qingshui Street?"
Qingshui Street is a relatively prosperous street in the inner city. Housing prices in the surrounding areas are not low, but this one is the only one that is cheap.
A little too cheap.
It’s basically equivalent to half the price of buying a house with two people in and out, and I bought a house with one square meter and three people in.
When Yazi saw this house, he hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Master, madam, this house is cheap for a reason. It is haunted."
"Ghost?"
The eldest lady suddenly became nervous and looked a little scared.
Jing Yue nodded and said, "Let's take a look at this set first. Can you tell me how to haunt it?"
Lao Yazi was stunned for a moment, and then realized Jing Yue's decision.
He then looked at the eldest lady, wanting to ask the frightened "madam" for her opinion.
As a result, the eldest lady looked scared but said seriously: "Just listen to him."
It turns out that Ah Duan likes haunted houses.
Well, he seems to like excitement.
Yazi: "."
Xiaozhu and Ye Ning walked on the street and asked unsteadily: "Saint, what are we doing now, are we waiting?"
The senior sister had already gone to check the files, but she had nothing to do for the moment.
Ye Ning thought for a while and said, "Go buy a house."
"Buy a house?"
Ye Ning said angrily: "I asked you to buy more properties before, but in the end there were not many houses in Baidi City."
With that said, she walked towards a tooth walk.
