I made the villain right.

After Fan Hua and the others had dispersed, they quietly left Yun Bohou Mansion and continued to head towards Fu Mengxuan.

On the other side, a small team of imperial guards was heading towards Fan Mansion.

Seeing this, the spy hiding in the dark immediately passed the message to Fan Mansion. He then shot an arrow in the direction of Fan Mansion. The arrow pierced through the darkness and accurately shot through the red lantern hanging on the tree, extinguishing the wick instantly.

Afterwards, a figure jumped down from the tree and landed steadily on the ground. He immediately took out a bird whistle and started to blow it. A burst of bird calls rang out, spreading throughout the mansion. The candles in several courtyards of the mansion suddenly went out, and the entire Fan Mansion was plunged into darkness.

Shi Jin was looking after the father and son in the house, but he saw Du Xuan suddenly blow out the candle in the house. Shi Jin became alert instantly, "What happened?"

Du Xuan then explained: "Someone is here to search. We can't reveal our whereabouts. Let's hide first."

After saying that, Du Xuan pressed a switch in the room, and the door of a secret room opened instantly.

Shi Jin was originally worried about where so many people should hide, but when he saw this secret room, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Cheng said directly: "Madam, you go in first, and leave your father and brother to us."

"Okay, be careful," Shi Jin said and went in first.

Afterwards, Du Xuan and Gu Cheng instantly carried Shi's father off the bed and walked into the secret room, and then the door of the secret room closed instantly.

At the same time, the secret guards of Fengyun Pavilion came out from their respective rooms and quickly gathered at the rockery in the yard. Xiao Ba saw that everyone was together and immediately pushed the rockery. A door suddenly opened in the ground and everyone entered the secret prison.

In the blink of an eye, the mansion was engulfed in silence, as if nothing had happened.

The secret room is large enough to hold some books, jewelry and other valuable items.

Gu Cheng and Du Xuan placed the Shi father and son on the couch, then found a place to sit down and waited in silence.

After calming down, Shi Jin began to worry about Fan Hua's situation. With a worried look on her face, she walked around the room several times.

Seeing this, Du Xuan said softly: "Don't worry, Madam, this place is very safe"

Shi Jin nodded and found a place to sit down.

She sat at the desk and looked around. She had lived in the mansion for a while, but she had never noticed that there was a secret room here. Suddenly, she wondered if there were many such secret rooms in this mansion, otherwise where would so many secret guards of Fengyun Pavilion hide.

He caught a glimpse of a white jade incense box carved with a taotie pattern placed on the desk. He felt that the incense box looked rather out of place on the desk and was curious about what was inside. Shi Jin opened the box carefully and was stunned when he saw what was inside.

The box contained all the things Shi Jin had given to Fan Hua before, including the bracelet she had given him. It was the one she had given him when she first met him in the secret room of Fu Meng Xuan and accidentally broke his teacup, so she pawned it with him.

There was also the cat wind chime that she gave him when they were shopping together. She remembered that Li Muci wanted to snatch it away at that time.

Thinking that Fan Hua had collected all these things, Shi Jin's heart felt as sweet as honey.

When his eyes fell on a red prayer belt, Shi Jin's gaze froze.

How did my prayer belt end up with Ayu? I clearly hung it on the marriage tree in Yue Lao Temple. Could it be that Ayu picked it up?

She once heard that if someone picked up your prayer belt, it meant that you and that person were destined to be together. Now it seems that the fate between Ayu and I was already predestined.

Thinking of this, Shi Jin's mouth curled up, revealing a peach-like smile, sweet and charming.

Shi Jin took out the prayer belt, put it in his sleeve, and then put the box away.

Outside, a team of imperial guards holding torches stopped at the gate of Fan Mansion. The person leading the team was Zuo Qing, Shi Wei's former subordinate, who served as the schoolmaster of the imperial guards.

Zuo Qing looked towards the closed door of Fan Mansion with a complicated expression.

Zuo Qing never thought that one day he would have to capture Shi Wei with his own hands.

Since Qin Yixian took charge of the Imperial Guards, several of Shi Wei's subordinates have been replaced, and the new official Ma Dongcheng often bullies them.

Although Shi Wei's subordinates were furious, there was nothing they could do. After all, Qin Yixian was behind Ma Dongcheng, and they could not move that giant Buddha.

Ma Dongcheng asked Zuo Qing to arrest his former superior, which was actually meant to be sarcastic, but he ignored the status of Shi Wei in Zuo Qing's mind. Zuo Qing didn't believe that the General's Mansion had any intention of rebellion. Shi's father and son were rescued by others, and he wished they could escape far away.

At this time, Zuo Qing's deputy seemed to understand something, and asked, "Captain, do we still need to go in and search here?"

"Yeah." Zuo Qing nodded gently.

Zuo Qing knew that if they didn't investigate, their superiors would send other people to investigate, so it would be better for them to investigate on their own. He would just go through the motions so that he could make a profit for Ma Dong.

After Zuo Qing finished speaking, he pushed the door open and walked in, only to see that the mansion was in dead silence.

Then he said, "Check it out."

"Yes"

"Wait"

Before they could make any move, they were stopped by Zuo Qing, and the deputy asked in confusion, "What do you want, Captain?"

Zuo Qing looked at them and said, "Just take a look around the mansion, don't touch anything in it."

After saying "yes", everyone dispersed and wandered around the mansion.

Zuo Qing took a general tour of the mansion and found that the layout of the mansion was orderly, elegant and grand, and it looked very wealthy.

After a while he walked through a corridor into a courtyard and opened a room at random and went in.

At this time, Shi Jin, who was hiding in the secret room, heard the sound of the door being pushed open and instantly focused.

Du Xuan immediately became alert and walked to the cave to check the situation outside. Seeing this, Shi Jin followed Du Xuan.

I saw a man come in and look around. When he came to the round table, he reached out and touched it. He found that there was no dust on his hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Normally, a house that has not been occupied for a while would accumulate dust, but this place is very clean, which can only mean that someone has lived here recently.

In the secret room, Shi Jin's heart skipped a beat when he saw Zuo Qing's actions, fearing that he had discovered something.

"Xiao Wei, so you are here." Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

Zuo Qing saw his deputy suddenly coming over, and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"My subordinates have almost finished their visit."

Visit? Shi Jin was stunned. Shouldn't it be a search? How could it be a visit? Why was this scene different from what she had imagined? According to the TV series, these searchers should be very strict and would conduct a large-scale search in the mansion, not a visit.

Du Xuan was also stunned for a moment, but Gu Cheng sat there calmly, only because he knew the relationship between Zuo Qing and Shi Wei.

Before Shi Jin recovered from his confusion, he heard the subordinate praising him again: "The general's son-in-law is really rich. He built such a magnificent mansion."

Zuo Qing did not respond, but said: "Let's go."

After saying this, he came out of the house, saw that the team in the yard was already gathered, and followed them to leave the mansion.

Shi Jin moved to the front of the couch, wanting to check on the condition of the Shi father and son. Seeing that their faces were abnormally flushed, she realized something was wrong. Then she touched their foreheads. The burning touch made her look solemn.

Dad and my eldest brother have both taken antipyretics, but such a long time has passed and their body temperatures have not gone down but are getting higher and higher.
