"Brother Fang, you're here, sit down quickly." Luo Yihai greeted quickly, they were already very familiar with each other, especially since they often drank together recently.

Fang Chengyue is not greedy for drinks, but because Luo Yihai is in-laws, and he just had a grandson, he is very happy, whenever Luo Yihai calls him, he will come and have a few drinks with him.He also knew that the Luo family looked happy recently, but business seemed to be in trouble.

"Brother Luo, drinking can't solve the problem. If there is any difficulty, you can tell it. If the money cannot be transferred, I have some here, just take it." Fang Chengyue spoke boldly, but his face was expressionless, as if his nature was more serious .

"I shouldn't have opened my mouth to brother Fang, I have nothing to do with it." Luo Yihai sighed again and again, not as energetic as before, he lowered his eyes by pouring wine to hide the real look in his eyes.

Fang Chengyue said: "There is no need to talk heresy between you and me. I can take out 200 taels at most."

Fang Chengyue has always spoken without twists and turns, which is also the reason why Luo Yihai thought this person could be handed over to him.

Fang Chengyue bought a house, opened a shop, prepared a generous dowry for his daughter when she got married, and indeed had no savings.If it was before, Luo Yihai would not doubt it, after all, in their small place, 200 taels is already a lot.

"Brother Fang, thank you very much." Luo Yihai pushed the full wine glass over.

Fang Chengyue didn't doubt that he was there, so he drank it all down.

The wine ended quickly, and Fang Chengyue didn't drink a few glasses in total, because there were still people at home to take care of.In the past two days, Yingniang has been ill, but she is sluggish, lethargic, and has a bad appetite. The doctor can't explain why, but it's just that the seasons are changing, so she should rest more.

Fang Chengyue returned to the shop feeling faintly dizzy.

drunk?Impossible, only three or four glasses of wine.

not good!

When he realized something was wrong, it was already too late, he was dizzy irresistibly, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.In the room, Yingniang, who was supposed to be resting in bed, also collapsed on the side of the bed, unconscious.

Several men in black sneaked in and fought Fang Chengyue and Yingniang away, but left two corpses behind and set fire to the shop.

The fire started from inside the room, and when the neighbors found out and came to put out the fire, the rouge shop was already in ruins.The two corpses in the house were also burnt beyond recognition. Luo Yihai cried bitterly at the corpses, confirming their identities.Others didn't suspect it either. In the eyes of outsiders, the Fang family and his wife were just duty-bound people. Although they were not very good at words, they were kind-hearted. Who would have thought that there were fake corpses.

Mu Qingyan withdrew his supernatural power, his complexion turned slightly pale, and his spiritual power was really low.

Fortunately, I got a very useful clue: the night of the fire, Fang Chengyue and his wife did not die.

However, after four years, the situation of the two of them may have changed, otherwise, how could Fang Hua end up in such a state?

"How?" Wen Jixue was a little cunning, he didn't ask Mu Qingyan how to investigate the case, but directly asked the final result.

Mu Qingyan also cooperated and skipped the process, saying: "Luo Yihai plotted against Fang Chengyue, but the Fang family couple did not die in the fire, and I don't know where they were taken. It's hard to say whether they are alive or dead now."

Wen Jixue was very happy to hear that he had come to this result: "What are you going to do next? Find the Luo family?"

Mu Qingyan shook his head: "I need to rest, wait for news from Chen Shiliu to come."

Wen Jixue frowned, raised her hand to touch his forehead, it was a little cold, she couldn't help reaching out to support him: "Does this happen every time?"

"Depends on the situation." Mu Qingyan paused for a moment, and then said: "After all, it was a case from four years ago, and it will cost more to investigate. I can't continue today."

He knew that Wen Jixue must have noticed his strangeness, and probably had already guessed it, and the two of them had been tacitly aware of it.However, considering that Wen Jixue seemed to have a case that he wanted to entrust himself with, he felt it necessary to talk about his own situation, lest the other party harbor unrealistic fantasies.

Wen Jixue didn't say anything more, and her expression didn't change much.

Back at the inn, Mu Qingyan drank a cup of hot tea and lay down on the bed to sleep.In his groping, the only shortcut to recovering his consciousness with jade is sleep.Sleep can not only relieve physical fatigue, but also a way to calmly restore mental strength. Of course, the premise is to keep your mind clear, otherwise you will always dream, and your energy will be exhausted faster.

Mu Qingyan was very experienced in this, and he was already tired due to mental exhaustion, so he fell asleep easily.

When I woke up, it was past noon.

As soon as he moved, Wen Jixue from the next door knocked on the door.

Mu Qingyan opened the door, asked the time, and said apologetically, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Chen Shiliu wanted to report the news a long time ago, but now he rushed out of the room and replied, "Brother Mu, we've eaten. Are you okay? You don't look well, are you suffering from heat stroke?"

In fact, his complexion is much better now, but he is still a little tired mentally.

"Gao Tian asked Xiao Er to bring you water, and I ordered two vegetarian dishes for you. We'll talk about it after dinner." Wen Jixue said this to him as well as to Chen Shiliu.

After washing their faces and rinsing their mouths, they ate a late lunch, and the four of them sat at the table to discuss.

One morning was enough for Chen Shiliu to figure out the relationship between the members of the Luo family, but unexpectedly, when he wanted to keep an eye on the Luo family and his son, a more suspicious Aunt Bai appeared.

Chen Shiliu said: "It's not that I'm looking for irrelevant people. It's really that this Aunt Bai's background is a mystery and her behavior is weird. The Luo family is very tolerant to her. What's more exaggerated is that the third master Bai, to put it mildly He is Aunt Bai's elder brother and Mr. Luo's brother-in-law, but he is not actually a serious relative of the Luo family. He is just a business manager of the Luo family, but most of the Luo family's business is in the hands of Mr. Bai. Those offshoots of the Luo family , to compliment and be polite to Mr. Bai, because pleasing Mr. Bai is equivalent to having an errand and money, which is more effective than pleasing the serious young master of the Luo family."

"Oh, that decent young master of the Luo family, Luo Qi. I heard that he has a bad relationship with Master Luo. After remarrying, he often lives in the county town with his wife and children, and doesn't come back unless it is New Year's Eve. There is nothing bad to say about this Roach."

Even if Luo Qi is newly married, the status of men and women is not equal at present, and it is rare for a wife to remarry immediately after a funeral. Luo Qi waited a year or two before remarrying. In the eyes of outsiders, he is already deeply affectionate.Especially for the rich Luo family, this move is even more rare and even more praised.

What's more, they will use this to imagine a drama of fighting in the inner house.

Aunt Bai seemed to be No. 1 in the Luo family. She overwhelmed the main wife, expelled the legitimate son, and used her elder brother to control the Luo family's property, while Master Luo was coaxed by her to "abandon his wife"... Such rumors are very popular in the local area. , some wretched, I don't know how to make Aunt Bai into a frivolous and frivolous woman.

Chen Shiliu suddenly slapped the table, and said excitedly, "I'm not following this auntie because of rumors, but because she's suspicious! It doesn't matter if I don't know the origin of this woman, she's still covered with a veil, even in Luo's house This is the case even in her own room. It is said that once the wind blew off the veil on her face, she was so angry that she beat to death the two maids serving in front of her."

Gao Tian also added: "This Aunt Bai is indeed a bit weird. There are even rumors that Aunt Bai is a white vixen in the mountains. Some servants once saw a white shadow flying by Aunt Bai's residence at night, thought it was a ghost, and fainted from fright. .”

Mu Qingyan took a sip of tea, with a calm expression: "No matter what Aunt Bai does, the Luo family must check it out."

No matter how special Aunt Bai is, Luo Yihai cannot be ignored.

"How?" Chen Shiliu asked.

Mu Qingyan smiled and said: "I have to ask Wen Jixue to take it with me, you don't actually have to go with me."

Chen Shiliu immediately said: "I'll go too, there's Gao Tian, ​​I'll be with Gao Tian, ​​and I promise there will be no delay."

Mu Qingyan put away the joke and said, "Actually, I want you to go to the county town to see that Luo Qi and the son of the idiot."

"...Are you bringing the child back?" Chen Shiliu asked uncertainly.

"No, look at the child's situation. It shouldn't be bad. After all, he is Roach's son, the only one now. Another thing, outsiders say that the relationship between Luo's father and son is not good. It is probably because of Roach's departure from home. I'm not sure what's going on inside. But I think, since Luo Qi and Sha Gu are childhood sweethearts, they have a son after marriage, and Luo Qi probably knows about the affairs of the two families, so it is possible that he feels guilty of.

I asked you to go there to try and see if you can get some secrets from Roach.Of course, you have to use a little skill to prevent him from discovering your purpose. "

Mu Qingyan's arrangement is indeed two-pronged.

Other than that, he wanted to train Chen Shiliu, otherwise, with him, Chen Shiliu would have no room for development and his progress would be too slow.

Mu Qingyan relied on talent, but acquired cultivation was also indispensable. Chen Shiliu naturally had to work harder and needed more experience accumulation.

When Chen Shiliu heard that there was an opportunity for an independent investigation, he immediately agreed happily.

Gao Tian still followed him.

It wasn't until he left the town that Chen Shiliu came back to his senses and realized Mu Qingyan's real purpose.

"I must pry Luo Qi's mouth open, and I can't disappoint Brother Mu!" Chen Shiliu started secretly, and one hundred and eight ways to find out the news flashed through his mind.

As night fell, Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue walked in the town's street market. There were no bustling crowds in the county town, and there were no lights that could not be seen as far as the eye could see. However, flowers and plants could be seen everywhere, the stream was gurgling, and fireflies were dancing, which was pleasant.

The whole town is roughly in the shape of a belt, with a drum in the middle and narrow sides.

The Luo family mansion is located at the entrance of the town. There is a fork in the road. Walking towards the mountain, you can see a big house with white walls and black tiles on the other side of the stream.This house has been expanded. At the beginning, it was only a large courtyard, but now it has three entrances, and a cross courtyard has been added to the left and right. There is also a large garden, covering a very wide area.

The two looked at the mansion in the night, waiting for the right time.
