Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

As the mayor, he should be the embodiment of justice and handle every case fairly and impartially, but on the scale of emotion and morality, how could he do something ungrateful, especially to Xiao Zhixue who once saved his life.

Liu Yu secretly agreed with this choice in his heart. He knew very well that when he was enforcing the law, he was also experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart.

In the process of imposing punishment, a dark secret was revealed.

Two of those punished were actually Xiao Zhixue’s relatives. Their evil deeds revealed their low character and were chilling.

Xiao Zhixue personally taught them a lesson, but in reality it was all their own fault and they had no reason to complain.

During their late-night conversation, the two revealed a tacit understanding and mutual understanding in their words, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

However, Yu Fugui gradually felt tired, and the signs of the ravages of time were clearly evident.

Seeing this, Liu Yu considerately offered to leave, leaving Yu Fugui space to rest.

When Yu Li saw Liu Yu leaving, she turned around and walked back to the Zen room to stay with her father. In the quiet night, family affection became the warmest support.

At the same time, Xiao Zhixue was lying on the bed, feeling uneasy, with the thought of exploring the Xuan Yu Tang branch again constantly emerging in her mind.

The last hasty trip missed too many details, and she vaguely felt that there were more unknown secrets hidden there.

It is impossible for the branch of Xuan Yu Tang to remain without any trace. Perhaps the key secret file is still lying quietly in a corner, waiting to be discovered.

In addition, the thirty-one corpses and human skins in the dark room are like a heavy shadow hanging over one's heart. They must be handled with caution. One must not allow the ruthless Jin Chengfeng to take advantage of the opportunity and extend his evil hands to the remains of these innocent people again.

Having made up her mind, Xiao Zhixue stood up and walked towards the door, just in time to meet Fan Yanmu standing outside the door in the night, his figure aloof and determined.

"What brings you here so late at night?"

Xiao Zhixue was puzzled. Fan Yanmu had always acted independently. What was his intention to appear here at this moment? Fan Yanmu stared at her with deep eyes and said in a deep voice, "I want to revisit Xuanyu Hall. I am worried that you may be worried if you don't know where I am, so I came here to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhixue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and was surprised that Fan Yanmu had the same idea as her.

For a long time, she had been accustomed to the free life of being alone, but this time, the idea of ​​fighting side by side with Fan Yanmu unexpectedly made her look forward to it.

After all, all the collected intelligence would eventually be handed over to him, and his active participation undoubtedly lightened her burden and added a bit of confidence.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a relaxed smile, and she said casually, "What a coincidence, I just happened to have the same plan."

Although Fan Yanmu didn't fully know Xiao Zhixue's specific plan, he had no objection and simply responded: "Then let's go together."

The two of them immediately summoned Shadow One and Shadow Two, and Fan Yanmu ordered them to protect everyone's safety in case Jin Chengfeng attacked the ruined temple at night, which would be detrimental to Yu Li. Xiao Zhixue carefully handed them a few detoxification pills as a preparation for dealing with unknown dangers.

After everything was arranged, the two of them took a carriage and rushed towards the Xuanyu Hall branch.

It was late at night and there were few pedestrians on the streets. The carriage encountered almost no obstacles and quickly reached its destination.

Outside the branch hall, there was a strong smell of medicine in the air. It was obvious that government officials had come to clean up the scene in advance.

Fan Yanmu got off the car first, showing his gentlemanly manners and gently helping Xiao Zhixue get off the horse.

Stepping into the courtyard, Xiao Zhixue's heart had already flown to the cold dark room, intending to get rid of those horrifying traces as soon as possible.

Fan Yanmu said nothing and followed closely behind, as if silently supporting her intention.

The door was half-open, and the firelight illuminated the darkness inside. Fan Yanmu skillfully opened the door leading to another dark room, and the two of them stepped in quickly.

The cold air hit me in the face. The thirty-one silent corpses and human skins in the room lay there quietly, as if isolated from the world and no one cared about them.

Fortunately, all the evidence is still intact, indicating that Jin Chengfeng has not returned yet.

Xiao Zhixue gently took out the corpse-dissolving powder and sprinkled it evenly. The corpses instantly turned invisible and dissolved into the cracks in the floor.

Fan Yanmu quietly collected the human skins, full of doubts. He turned to ask Xiao Zhixue, wanting to know the purpose behind these horrific items.

Xiao Zhixue had a plan in mind. Her deft fingers gently stroked the thin skin, her eyes gleaming with wisdom. She planned to make these precious materials into delicate masks. Even if she did not know the secrets of disguise, these masks might play an unexpected role at a critical moment in the future.

Each of her movements seemed so delicate and careful. She carefully folded the human skin layer by layer, as if she was treating the most fragile work of art in the world, and then carefully put them into a cloth bag embroidered with dark patterns and gently threw it behind her back. Her movements were smooth and natural.

Fan Yanmu watched quietly from the side, secretly appreciating in his heart.

Xiao Zhixue's calmness and foresight made him admire this woman even more.

Every decision she made seemed to be carefully considered, which made him feel an indescribable sense of security while fighting alongside her.

When Xiao Zhixue suggested that they explore separately, Fan Yanmu almost subconsciously spoke out to stop her, with a barely perceptible hint of worry and reluctance in his tone.

He knew very well that in this crisis-ridden environment, separation meant greater risks. Even if there was only silence and emptiness here, he did not want to take the risk of losing Xiao Zhixue's trace.

After a brief thought, Xiao Zhixue decided to adopt Fan Yanmu's opinion.

She was keenly aware that the treasury had been emptied, and apart from the secrets hidden in Xuanyu Hall, there was nothing more worth exploring here.

She agreed softly, her tone revealing a hint of obedience. This subtle emotional fluctuation made Fan Yanmu feel secretly delighted.

The two walked side by side through the ancient house and finally found Jin Chengfeng's old residence at the end of a weed-covered path.

Just as they were about to step into the half-open door, Fan Yanmu suddenly stopped and spoke in a voice like a blade in the cold wind, piercing through the silence and pointing directly into the darkness: "Who are you, master? Show up and talk!"

Before he finished speaking, several sturdy men dressed in Xuan Yu Tang uniforms flashed out from the shadows. The light of their swords reflected a dazzling coldness in the sunlight. Their eyes were sharp and vigilant, like cheetahs examining their prey.

The leader frowned, his words full of doubt: "Who are you, sir, and why are you here?"

One of them seemed to have seen through something, his face suddenly changed, and he roared: "No need to say more, it must be you who killed the brothers and elders of my hall, don't even think about escaping punishment!"

In an instant, several people rushed in like a tide, intending to surround Fan Yanmu and Xiao Zhixue.

It turned out that they had rushed here to protect the crucial secret letter upon hearing the news, but unexpectedly encountered these two people at this moment.
