No taboos

Chapter 52: The Yin Soldiers Also Have Yin Soldiers
"Really not here?" Song Lu said doubtfully.

Lin Wanmo opened the door: "If you don't believe me, go search for yourself. I also want to know where that guy went. If you can find him, I will thank you."

Lin Wanmo could guess what Xu Yuan was doing, but he certainly wouldn't tell the two captains of the Extermination of Filth Division.

Song Lu lowered his head and was about to go in and search by pressing the handle of the knife - but was pulled back by his senior brother.

They didn't have any documents, so they couldn't just break in and search, which was against the rules.

The two of them could only walk out of the alley in shame. Fu Jingyu felt something was wrong: "Yesterday, Master Chen sent people to arrest him, and he disappeared early this morning..."

Song Lu immediately slapped the scabbard and concluded, "He's fleeing from the crime!"

Fu Jingyu looked at his junior sister. She was still very cute. Her intelligence would grow slowly in the future.

"I'm worried. He went to see Master Chen."

Song Lu was surprised: "He is so bold?"

"Which of the things this kid did in Qihetai Town was not audacious?" Fu Jingyu quickened his pace: "Let's go back first and ask Mr. Yan to calculate it."

……

Xu Yuan changed into his silk and satin clothes again and sneaked into Wangjingfang.

When passing by Chunhyang House, I subconsciously stretched my neck - I didn't expect that Chunhyang House had put up a sign early in the morning to close for the day and give the girls a day off.

Saw nothing.

Xu Yuan wanted to criticize, but he couldn't get any materials.

Then they found themselves outside the back door of a large house.

According to Lao Qian’s memory fragments, he came out from this door.

Xu Yuan's eyes turned a little colder.

……

After Mr. Chen got up today, he looked at the almanac and found that "sexual intercourse is forbidden", which made him feel a little regretful.

Several wealthy families in this county are hosting a banquet for me tonight.

I thought it would be at Chunhyangwon, but now it seems that’s not the case.

Mr. Chen could have given the county magistrate no face, and he could have left after completing his term. But the local wealthy families, like his Chen family, were rooted in the area for thousands of years.

The Chen family moved here a hundred years ago, and the most important figure so far is Mr. Chen.

As for the fact that he retired and returned to his hometown, but still went to these places of entertainment... can the affairs of scholars be called girlfriends? They were clearly elegant literary gatherings!
I am here to support the younger generation from my hometown.

This is the prevailing trend in our Ming Dynasty. Who dares to say anything?
After breakfast, Mr. Chen gave some instructions and went to the back garden again.

After returning home, if he had no social engagements, he would "read" in the back garden.

According to Mr. Chen's idea, when he arrived at the back garden, Lao Qian should come to him to report the results of last night's operation.

But when Master Chen drank two cups of tea in the "Xu Chun She" in the back garden and saw that Old Qian hadn't appeared, his expression suddenly changed: "Something happened to Old Qian!"

Because he trusted Lao Qian too much, Mr. Chen didn't even arrange any follow-up personnel for last night's operation.

Lao Qian has always been prudent and has always completed the tasks assigned to him beautifully. He himself is a seventh-rate divine cultivator. What could go wrong in a small place like Shanhe County?

But an accident happened.

Mr. Chen immediately realized, "Hegong Lane... is there really something special about it?"

After thinking for a moment, he ordered the servant standing outside the door, "Go and invite Master Ji over."

The servant boy obeyed the order, and then Mr. Chen opened the cabinet beside him, and there was a locked iron box inside.

He opened it, took out a copper bell from inside, and rang it gently.

After a while, an extremely burly old man with snow-white hair but a rosy face like a baby walked in with a gleam in his eyes and a gait like a dragon and a tiger. He clasped his fists and said, "Master."

Master Chen smiled slightly and said, "You will have to work hard these few days. Stay by my side and don't leave."

Master Ji's eyes gleamed even brighter: "Master, is someone looking for trouble? Is it someone from Beidu..."

Master Chen waved his hand gently: "Master, there is no need to ask more questions."

Master Ji lowered his head and stood aside, his tone revealing strong confidence: "Don't worry, sir." Master Chen nodded slightly.

After arranging the protection around him, he waited for a while, and then his men in yisa came in quickly: "Master, what happened?"

"Something happened to Old Qian, go and find out!" Mr. Chen's face was gloomy.

"it is good."

"Xing Guolong." Master Chen called him again, "We underestimated them before. Qiao Ziang's things might really be in their hands!"

"Don't worry, sir. I will search carefully." Xing Guolong promised.

……

Xu Yuan did not stay at the back door of the house for long. After passing by and taking a look, he walked out of the alley.

The alley is very deep, but there is only one house in it.

There was a teahouse outside the alley. It had just opened. Xu Yuan walked in and found a seat by the window. He ordered tea and a plate of roasted peanuts, pretending to come to listen to a story, but in fact all his attention was on the entrance of the alley.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a yisa walked quickly into the alley.

Xu Yuan put down the money and left.

I deliberately waited for a while, and only walked into the alley after I estimated that the man had already entered through the back door.

Then Xu Yuan put on the earrings made of mahogany and brass and listened carefully against the wall.

There was a servant guarding the back door. In addition, there were some very light footsteps in the back garden. Judging from the sound, they should be a few fierce dogs.

Xu Yuan thought about it, opened his mouth and spit out an external pill, secretly saying that he was lucky.

This is a "tiger soul" condensed in the external elixir.

This is a ghost soldier among Lao Qian’s bottles and jars.

Lao Qian has an extremely persistent spirit of research in the field of spiritual cultivation.

He didn't know where he hunted this tiger soul from, but the tiger had imprisoned six minions when he was alive!

This probably aroused Lao Qian's interest, so he killed them and refined them into ghost soldiers - there are more ghost soldiers!
Xu Yuan threw the Tiger Soul Pill over the wall, and a special aura spread out. Xu Yuan listened with his ears, and those fierce dogs all ran away with their tails between their legs.

If it weren't for the Tiger Soul Pill, and Xu Yuan hadn't prepared before coming, it would have been difficult to deal with these ferocious dogs.

Xu Yuan took out the animal tendon rope and looked at the wall of the house, which was more than ten feet high. So he pasted two pieces of calligraphy on his legs. After the animal tendon rope was placed on the top of the wall, he tightened the rope and exerted force with his feet, and the whole person jumped over the wall with a whoosh.

After entering the yard, Xu Yuan immediately crouched down and looked around, then raised his hand and the Tiger Soul Pill flew back.

Xu Yuan was as nimble and agile as a civet cat, climbing onto a tree more than ten feet away.

But I didn't dare go any deeper.

Xu Yuan climbed up the tree, tied himself to the trunk with animal sinew ropes, put on the earpieces again, and began to eavesdrop on the entire back garden.

Some intermittent conversations came into my ears.

Mr. Chen explained the matter in a few words, and Xu Yuan only heard him say that he might have taken something from Qiao Ziang.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yuan heard the footsteps of the man wearing a yisa.

Xu Yuan took off his earlobe and lay motionless on the tree.

The man went out the back door. Xu Yuan waited for a while before quietly slipping out.

Xu Yuan had no intention of following that person.

The old Qian sent by the other party last night was Qiliu. After Old Qian died, this person was sent to deal with this matter.

This shows that this person's strength must be above Lao Qian's.

Following him would be suicidal.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!

　　There are also nights.
