Inside the Sword Forging School:

knock knock --

Zuo Wuxun, who sat quietly for a long time, glanced at the door, put away the letter from Yaowanggu, and then said: "Come in."

Dongnan opened the door and came in, stopped at a seat five steps away from the desk, and then said: "My lord, my subordinates have found a few guys who used to do odd jobs in Ning's mansion. They said that Mr. Ning Yin did leave for about half a month ago half a year ago. , not long after returning, the Ning family was in a mess, it seems that someone in the Ning family was poisoned, and then..."

Zuo Wuxun raised his eyes, his face was as gentle as ever, but his tone was rarely cold: "Continue talking."

"Those guys said that half a year ago, a dozen black-clothed men with high martial arts skills attacked Ning's mansion at night. They seemed to be looking for something. Moreover, those men in black also shot and injured many Family members, including Mr. Ning Yin." Southeast paused, and continued: "They also said that Mr. Ning Yin was seriously injured at the time and almost died."

Zuo Wuxun's eyes darkened, and his fingertips trembled unnaturally, as if he was worried about something, but he didn't say anything, he just said extremely restrained: "He...was seriously injured?"

Southeast noticed it, and he said cautiously: "Yes."

Zuo Wuxun asked, "Who were those men in black who attacked Ning Mansion half a year ago?"

"...Your subordinates don't know either." Worried about being punished, Southeast hurriedly said, "The incident of the man in black attacking the Ning Mansion at night has not been reported, and there has been no news in Hegui City. There are a few miscellaneous guys in the Ning Mansion, otherwise it would be really hard to know that this happened in the Ning Mansion."

Zuo Wuxun lowered his eyes, his expression was indifferent, such a big incident happened in Ning family, but no news came out, which means that the incident of Ning family being attacked by men in black half a year ago must have been suppressed on purpose.

But who would have such a great ability?

Zuo Wuxun was faintly angry: "Continue to investigate, and also, to investigate what those men in black are looking for in Ning's house."

"Yes." Southeast breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the study.

……

Back in the city, Ning Yin was not in a hurry to go back. First, she listened to the storytelling in the teahouse, and then walked around the neighborhood. She found that there were fewer vendors setting up stalls in the city in the past two days, and the bustling West Street and the river Guiqiao, but now there are only a dozen or so vendors shouting for business, and the passers-by are also in a hurry.

Ning Yin sighed, took out five copper coins from her pocket, threw them into the pottery bowl of an old beggar who was half lying beside the Hegui Bridge, and hurried home.

The half-lying old beggar opened his eyes, glanced at the back of Ning Yin who was drifting away, and then looked at the five copper plates in the pottery bowl, and quickly reached out to pick them up, his eyes crooked with a smile: "Ning's family is all good!" heart."

Ning Yin didn't know anything about it. On the way home, he remembered something, turned another corner, stopped at a nearby pastry shop, and said, "Boss, bring me an osmanthus cake."

The owner of the store wiped the hot sweat off his face with a dry towel. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry for the customers. We don't have any sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in our store. They are all sold out. Why don't you try the cloud cakes in our store?" Slice of cake?"

Ning Yin was taken aback for a moment: "Usually the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are not sold out at this time, why are they sold out so early today?"

"Oh, it's not because of the bad weather. The dried osmanthus that was specially dried in the past years is used up, and the osmanthus on the osmanthus tree is too dry to be used. So, the osmanthus that can be sold in our store every day is so small. So I’m late, so I definitely don’t have anything to buy.” The pastry shop owner said with a smile, “Would you like to buy some cloud cakes?”

Ning Yin nodded: "Yes."
