"What?" Mr. Song snapped a beard in shock.

"The little one takes it seriously, seals, official letters...everything is very complete."

The steward of Chen's house who was ordered to find trouble bowed respectfully, and after finishing his guess, he rubbed his hands anxiously, "Mr. Song, look at this mess! There must be nothing wrong !"

"What could be wrong?" Mr. Song shouted, "Isn't it common for the government to interrogate people who are avoiding corvee? The name is justified, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Rather than scolding the steward, it sounded like he was convincing himself.

The steward echoed repeatedly, and Mr. Song felt more at ease: "Do you remember the official letter they took out, which yamen opened it, and what was written on the seal?"

The steward hurriedly said: "Looking at the people inside, some of them were dressed in foreign races, and wondered if it was from Yunzhou... After receiving it, it was indeed Wanteng County, Yunzhou County, where it is said that there is Miaogu !"

"A land of barbarians." Mr. Song said contemptuously.

The steward didn't speak, and lowered his head, thinking: These scholars all have a problem, they are silent and distracted, but there are quite a lot of gossips in Yunzhou, who knows?

The steward said respectfully: "Mr. Song, what do you think we should do next?"

"Well, you didn't cause any trouble, did you?" Mr. Song asked worriedly.

"Look at what you said, I'm the kind of person who can't figure it out?" The manager said with a smile, "There is no conflict at all, and there is absolutely no reason to arrest anyone!"

"That's good."

Mr. Song nodded and dismissed him.

The steward nodded and walked away, turned around and hid behind the rockery, handed a letter to a young man who had been waiting there, and told this confidant to hand over the things to the master.

——Maybe something will happen, he won't help Mr. Song take the blame!

After the steward spread the news, he pretended nothing had happened and walked out swaggeringly.

It wasn't until late that night, when Chen Zhen returned to the mansion after finishing the work in the yamen, that the servant saw the opportunity and handed over the letter. The servant was illiterate, and vividly taught Chen Zhen the words of the steward: " Manager Fu said that he felt something was wrong, and asked the county sheriff to look into it."

Chen Zhen had a gloomy face, and when he saw Wanteng County in Yunzhou mentioned on the letter paper at the end, he slapped the table angrily: "It's unreasonable!"

The Chen family is a family from Yunzhou, so of course they have heard of the theory of laying a voodoo, and they know that those who come from there should not be messed with.

——How did that kid get involved with such a group of people?

Chen Zhen's heart awed, if that house was really a place where the rich and powerful raised the dead, Chen He must not have anything to do with him.This kind of thing is the most difficult to tell, if it is dragged into some conspiracy, it will be terrible.

"Come on, call Mr. Song...no, call Manager Fu."

When Chen Zhen said something, he remembered Mr. Song's self-assertion, and changed his words angrily.

The servant got the order and ran out of the study in a hurry.

It took more than half an hour to go, and when Chen Zhen ran out of patience, the boy came over sweating profusely and reported: "It's not good, Manager Fu is missing!"

"what?"

The little servant was startled, and stammered, "Yes, it's some servants in the yamen who were arguing about drinking and talking about shocking people. Manager Fu shirked it and didn't go. He only gave them money and told them to go to Sanjie Street away. Xinghualou. But the manager Fu said he didn’t see anyone coming back, so he thought he had gone out to drink. It’s only a short way from the yamen to the mansion, and he hasn’t been found yet.”

Chen Zhen reprimanded: "Why don't you tell the soldiers patrolling at night to look carefully?"

People in the Sheriff's Mansion have waist badges, and no one dares to grab them when walking on the road after curfew.

This also caused trouble in finding someone. The yamen servants were so drunk that they insisted that Manager Fu never came.

The boy stumbled to pass the order, Chen Zhen rolled his eyes, and walked to the courtyard where the staff member Mr. Song lived with his hands behind his back.

He coughed lightly under the window first, and the maid on duty inside heard the movement, and came out with a candlestick to watch.

Inside, Mr. Song was woken up, put on his clothes, and when he saw Chen Zhen, he was immediately embarrassed—cursing in his heart that Manager Fu had leaked the secret, and then had to explain to Chen Zhen: "I...I don't want that child to give up Zhen Weng is causing trouble."

"You've messed with me!"

Sensing that something was wrong, Mr. Song said suspiciously: "Nothing happened today, and the history of the mansion can't be found out. You won’t make a big fuss.”

Chen Zhen gave him a deep look, left without saying anything.

It's not that he didn't want to pursue the matter, but no one would believe that Chen Zhen didn't know about it beforehand.

An outsider is nothing at all, even if he dies, Chen Zhen doesn't feel much pity, the Chen family has a lot of capable servants, and Mr. Song has been his staff for many years, so he won't be angry about this.

Before Chen Zhen came to look for Mr. Song, he still hoped that Mr. Song was timid and found out that something was wrong and killed Guanshi Fu to silence him. Although it was stupid to do so, it was better than Guanshi Fu being kidnapped and assassinated by unknown people much.

As Mr. Song said, if the other party doesn't care about this side, the matter may pass like this.

however--

Chen Zhen sighed.

Things didn't go as he wished, and the next morning, Guanshi Fu's body was found in a ditch.

It looked like he was drunk and stumbled and drowned in a ditch.

Before the yamen servants rushed over, the corpse was already surrounded by onlookers, and those who were brave enough were still pointing and pointing.

Because it was discovered quickly, the corpse was not ferocious, but it was a valuable thing that was picked up by beggars.

A Taoist in tattered robes with a mahogany sword on his back, glanced at the ditch as he passed by, and then stopped.

The Taoist suddenly felt a knock on the back from an invisible force, turned his head quickly, and saw Chen He standing not far from the corner of the street, waving a folding fan, and beckoning to him with a half-smile.

"..."

The Taoist looked left and right, and unobtrusively added a cover for himself.

Then squeezed out of the crowd, ran to Chen He, and asked in a low voice, "Your senior brother has really ascended?"

Chen He glanced at him: This is still false.

This Taoist priest is the real Tianyan. Although he has some friendship with Chen He in this life, but the shadow of Venerable Li Yan in his previous life is too great, which makes him always feel a little uncomfortable when he sees Chen He.

Chen Ho tapped his folding fan on the shoulder of Master Tianyan: "If I remember correctly, your faction seems to claim that the mountain will not come out?"

"It's not your brothers—"

Daoist Tianyan rubbed his nose and began to vomit bitterness: "The whole secret of heaven has been messed up by you. My faction did a good job, but suddenly the secret of heaven was interrupted. You know that kind of delicious food and wine, you can smell it, and suddenly you stepped on it. Kong woke up and found that this was just a dream, the feeling that he didn't catch a single bite?"

"..."

Chen He decided not to speak.

Master Tianyan continued to complain: "That's all, turn over and continue to sleep, you can always dream. But now the deduction of the secret can't be carried out! It's like you want to continue that dream, but you can't sleep, the hearts of us are the same. Hanging in mid-air, unable to get up or down, it will kill you!"

Chen He keenly picked out the key points from his words: "What kind of food and wine do you want? What is the smell?"

This time it was Tianyan's turn to be speechless.

After holding back for a long time, he shook his hand and said vaguely: "The general trend of the cultivation world!"

At this time, the yamen servants arrived and loudly drove away the people around the corpse. Mr. Song, who was sweating profusely, got off the sedan chair and saw Chen He not far away.

His heart skipped a beat, his whole body turned cold, and he just watched Chen He leave with a slight trembling.

Master Tianyan didn't notice these mortals, he tentatively asked: "Is Yuzhou in chaos these days?"

Chen He was a little surprised: "Do you still look at the faces of dead people?"

"How can there be such a skill?" Daoist Tianyan said with a frown, "But a person's life should not be taken, whether it is a death in vain or not, it can always be seen."

"Humph."

Chen He held his folding fan, and said after a long while, "Someone is planning on me, do you think it's strange?"

Master Tianyan immediately shook his head, and said sympathetically, "...the enemy who was thrown back by Tiandao came to the door again?"

"No."

As a manager of the Chen family, Chen He didn't have the heart to make trouble with him at all.

There was a lot of commotion yesterday morning, and that night, this mortal disappeared. When Chen He received the news of Yuzhou Demon Cultivator's report, he was a little earlier than Chen Zhen.

Just like Yuzhou Moxiu wondering why the government came to check his household registration, people lurking in Yuzhou City must also want to know the reason for this incident.

Manager Fu died at the hands of Chen He's enemies.

"A mortal, if a monk asked him, he could erase his memory without leaving a trace and send him back, risking committing karma and killing him. Why do you think that is?" Chen Ho asked sideways.

Daoist Tianyan: ...

If I remember correctly, in his previous life he was the leader of the righteous way, and the other party was the leader of the evil way.

Is it wrong to ask this question?

Master Tianyan endured this strange feeling, and tentatively replied: "This mortal knows a big secret?"

"He does know a secret, but this secret..." Chen He thought deeply, "It's not that big."

It's good that he comes from the Chen family, but what can others do with Chen Zhen and Chen Xingniang?Those were two people, even if they were dead on the spot, he wouldn't take another look at them.

"It depends on what secret he knows." Master Tianyan rolled his eyes.

"The current governor of Yuzhou is my biological father."

"..."

Master Tianyan had an expression of "You just told the poor Dao casually like this, it really isn't a big secret", let out a long sigh, and said mockingly: "Then, your lord, you probably missed the opportunity to know a secret." , that mortal may know something else."

"You said it all, he is a mortal."

"That's right, but sometimes even a fox has seen something extraordinary." Master Tianyan didn't think so.

Chen He asked impatiently, "What is the Taoist priest going to do when he comes down the mountain?"

Immortal Tianyan straightened his expression: "I don't know, I finally saw God's will pointing to the street of Yuzhou City, and here I am."
