According to the Jinyiwei who have been hanging out with the beggars these days, these beggars have actually made a lot of money from Acacia wine and have long stopped begging on the streets. They also don't like to collect money at the doors of taverns, as the waiters at the taverns will come out to chase them away, and some verbal conflicts are inevitable. They prefer to sell in dark alleys after dark, so they basically eat and drink in the dilapidated temples during the day, calculating when they can use the little money they have to buy a small house in the city and live a decent life.

Therefore, today's disappearance is really unusual.

Yanhuo searched the ruined temple again, but still found no other useful clues. The only possible evidence was the hairpin in his hand and the scent from Zuihuanlou on the hairpin.

In this case, we have to go to Zuihuanlou.

Xu Chengjin stared at the hairpin in his hand for a long while, frowning as if recalling a memory. "It's only in recent years that Zuihuanlou has suddenly become popular. Over the years, I have been curious about who is behind Zuihuanlou. Do you have any information?" He asked Song Wenyuan.

No matter what industry, if you want to rise up in Shengjing City, you must have a backer behind you. Some are openly advertised, and they would like to engrave "This store is under the command of so-and-so" directly on the plaque, while some are very careful not to leak any news, Zuihuanlou is the latter. Song Wenyuan has never paid attention to these things, so he naturally doesn't know much. If he wants to check, he can check, but it will take some time. He nodded at the young master Jin who was walking 2.58 million with his hands behind his back in front of him, and whispered, "The Zhong family must know."

Xu Chengjin's eyes lit up, he grinned and strode forward, "Yu Nian... I want to discuss something with you."

Jin Yunian had no sense of crisis at all, and he raised his chin proudly, like a proud cat, and said, "Call me brother."

He had made this request countless times, but it had never been fulfilled. He was the youngest and was too well taken care of by his family. He looked more childish than his peers. He always looked like a little brother to these two friends who had already become independent. Although he was young, he had his own ambitions and was determined to "call me brother"... He thought no one would pay attention to him this time, but someone put a hand on his shoulder, and Xu Chengjin smiled playfully and whispered in his ear, "Brother Yu Nian..."

Jin Yunian let out an "Ah" and got furious.

The lingering sound lasted for three days, and every time I woke up from a dream at midnight, my hair stood on end.

Lin Mu slapped his thigh and laughed loudly. Even Yan Huo couldn't help but pursed his lips. Only Yuan Ge touched the thick gauze on his neck and looked back...

"What's wrong?" Song Wenyuan lowered his eyes to look at her. The little girl seemed absent-minded today. "Do you feel like someone is watching you?"

"Yeah, my neck feels cold..." Yuan Ge responded in a low voice, subconsciously grasping his arm, almost leaning on him, then retracting his gaze and asking Song Wenyuan in a low voice, "Song Wenyuan, you say... In such a shabby temple where even the straw mats are scattered all over the place, and no one has cleaned the spider webs in the corners of the ground, would anyone really clean the spider webs for a shabby Buddha statue? I just looked at it for a long time, and although there is a layer of dust on the Buddha statue, there is not a single spider web... It's too suspicious."

Song Wenyuan raised his hand to press her twisted neck back, and then said in the same almost audible voice, "Well, there is something wrong with the Buddha statue. Don't worry, Yanhuo will send someone to keep an eye on it."

"You noticed it too?" She raised her head slightly, and understood. "Yes, I saw it all. It doesn't make sense that you, a Jinyiwei commander, can't see it... But I still feel like someone is watching me. Do you think the Buddha statue is empty? Someone dug a tunnel and hid inside the statue?"

The little girl was still muttering to herself, not realizing that her hands were still holding Song Wenyuan's arms in an unusually intimate posture. Song Wenyuan lowered his eyes and looked at her. In the sunlight broken by the branches and leaves, her expression was as gentle as the first spring breeze after the cold winter, which was extremely precious.

Lin Mu stopped laughing, stood there dumbfounded, and twisted his arm... It didn't hurt. Sure enough, it was fake, he said, how could his master have such an expression, it was too creepy... Lin Mu shook his head and followed, leaving Yan Huo gritted his teeth and sneered: What's wrong with this person, pinching the people around him when he doesn't agree with him? Hiss... This is using 100% of his strength, it feels like the flesh is about to be twisted off!

The carriage slowly left... The forest returned to silence again, with only the rustling sound of the wind.

After a long time, the sound of dead leaves being rolled over could be heard, and a man slowly walked out from behind the woods. He had a tall and straight figure, and was wearing a navy blue gown that was washed so much that it looked bleached. He looked a little thin in the wind, but he seemed unaware of it. He watched the carriage slowly leave with one hand behind his back until it was completely out of sight.

……

Jin Yunian couldn't go to Zuihuanlou. Although the Jin family spoiled this only child to the utmost, he couldn't cross the line in these places. If he went there, he would be beaten to death. So Jin Yunian turned back halfway, saying that he was going back to find a scar removal product for his sister-in-law.

The remaining few people returned to the Bo Mansion and headed straight for Luofengxuan.

The courtyard, which used to be a little deserted, has been particularly lively these days. The servants are working more attentively than usual. Just after they sat down, Ling'er came over with tea. It was a strange face. Song Wenyuan took a look and asked, "Where is Shiyin?"

Ling'er was a little more lively than at first, but she was still very timid. She was obviously not used to the scene of so many eyes staring at her at the same time. Her hands were shaking and she replied in a trembling voice, "Miss Shiyin went to help Aunt Gui. Shall I go and call her over?"

"No need." Song Wenyuan raised his hand, "Go down, no need to wait on me."

The little girl ran away as if she was escaping.

Yuan Ge watched the little girl almost trip over her right foot with her left foot. He said nothing, playing with the teacup in his hand. He lowered his eyes and said, "I've been to Zuihuanlou last time. The eunuchs inside are very vigilant. I'm afraid we won't get any useful information even if we disguise ourselves. We should find a regular customer."

"Regular customer" Xu Chengjin hurriedly proved his innocence, "I'm not a regular customer. I haven't been to Zuihuanlou for a long time... I'm afraid the girls inside have all changed."

"Yeah. That's true..." Song Wenyuan nodded as he poured tea, "Since the bad news from Zhixuan Mountain came here, you really haven't gone to drink wine with prostitutes. You've been wasting my good wine every day. I don't expect you to. You've already chased other girls with this face. If I let you go again, wouldn't it be self-incrimination?" After saying that, he pushed the teacup in front of Yuan Ge, took away the empty teacup she was playing with, poured a cup and sipped it by himself, then said lazily, "I do have someone."
