Fu Ci has already received the news.

In his hand was the letter sent by the secret guard.

He squeezed it so tightly that the black words on the white paper were wrinkled. There was a terrifying emotion flashing in his eyes, and it seemed as if they were covered with a layer of frost.

"Very good, I am not disappointed."

He has given you a chance, Tangtang, you must hide well and don't let him catch you.

"Go find it, and inform me when you find it."

Fu Ci gave orders to the secret guards around him, then walked to the desk and began to write the cooperative investigation documents, and stamped them with his official seal.

He gave several documents to his subordinates and sent them to several nearby state capitals, asking officials from each state to help find the person.

The subordinate took the document and heard Fu Ci hesitate for a moment, his tone cold: "If you ask the reason, you can answer that the concubine in the mansion escaped and stole important documents. I hope that officials from various states will help find this person. Once there is news, send a message quickly and don't let anyone escape again."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Looking at his subordinate's leaving back, Fu Ci's eyes flashed with an ambiguous light.

-------------

There was a thin mist in the early morning and a drizzle of spring rain, covering the city of Fuyang in a white curtain of rain.

It was still chilly in spring, so there were not many people even on Yuan'an Street.

There is an alley behind this street.

This alley is lined with residential houses. As it is close to the government office, government officials often come and go on this street, and the patrolling officials also pay close attention to this street.

Therefore, the alleys close to this area are relatively safe, and the rental fees will be relatively more expensive, but if you buy them, it will cost a lot of money.

So Ji Chutang took both safety and economic issues into consideration and only rented a small courtyard in this alley.

He also bought a maid with great strength and named her Fu Yue.

When she went to the human trafficking company to choose, she fell in love with Fu Yue at first sight. Although he was fat, he looked safe and had a pure look in his eyes, without any twists and turns.

The human trafficker also disliked that she ate too much and had not been able to sell the meat for a long time. After finally finding a buyer, he sold it immediately. Even when Ji Chutang offered a price, she did not continue to bargain and agreed readily.

After the purchase, the maid followed Ji Chutang. When she saw that Ji Chutang had given her a name, she was so happy that she showed her teeth and eyes.

She also secretly told Ji Chutang that she was extremely strong.

Buy her, you won't regret it.

The two of them settled down in Tongbai Lane. After buying this maid, they became much less worried. Apart from eating a lot and getting a little fat, she could do almost anything for them.

She is also good at cooking.

Ji Chutang was extremely satisfied with her.

She was wrapped in a small quilt in the room reading a storybook. When she saw Fu Yue prepared snacks and tea for her, she immediately smiled.

"Ayue, you are so thoughtful."

It's much better than a system that is useless.

The system was so angry that it blew its beard and glared: [Okay, okay, okay, okay...]

Ji Chutang has been on the run for ten days.

Fuyang City is a small city under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou. After Ji Chutang left the ferry by boat, he moved around several times.

I didn’t choose a particular place each time, I just went with the flow.

Even she herself didn't know where she would go in the end. Only in this way could she minimize the possibility of Fu Ci finding her.

Ji Chutang didn't have to worry about money. Yue Xingsong put one thousand taels in the bag he prepared for her. When she left, she also took several dozen taels of her own savings with her.

There are still more than nine hundred taels left.

Enough to last until the mission is completed.

So she had no intention of treating herself badly. Although the courtyard looked a little shabby from the outside, in fact everything inside was decorated according to good standards.

Although it was far from the Fu Mansion, Ji Chutang was already very satisfied.

There was no need to go out to find a job and he could just stay in the yard all day.

This kind of life is spurned by the system.

Near noon, there was a knock on the door of his yard. Ji Chutang was still hiding in the house reading a storybook. It was Fu Yue who ran out to open the door.

There was a constable standing at the door.

Smiling shyly, he held a fish in his hand, handed it to Fu Yue, and said, "This is for your daughter to nourish her body. She looks too fragile."

"Okay, then I will thank Brother He on behalf of the girl."

Fu Yue accepted it very happily.

He also took out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the other party.

"Well, I still have to patrol the streets, so I'll leave first." The constable took the copper coin and looked into the yard. He didn't see the beauty, so he was a little disappointed, but he still left.

The constable's name was He Chengchuan, and he was an ordinary constable in Fuyang City.

Ji Chutang had just arrived in Fuyang City and was unfamiliar with the place.

So he found a constable on the roadside to find the way, and this constable was He Chengchuan.

He Chengchuan is a passionate and kind person. He is considered to be a good-hearted detective and often helps his fellow villagers.

I saw Ji Chutang, a single woman.

Her accent sounded like she was from another place, and he was afraid that she would be bullied, so he took her to rent a house.

This house is just close to He Chengchuan's house, just across the same alley.

He knew that this alley was in a good location, so he recommended it to Ji Chutang.

It was also he who recommended finding a human trafficker.

A reliable recommendation.

In this way, the two parties knew each other, but at that time, Ji Chutang was still in disguise.

The snow-white skin was covered by the turmeric powder, which also obscured a lot of its radiance.

But her eyebrows, eyes and facial features are still outstanding.

After Ji Chutang settled down here, he no longer wore a disguise at all times.

When she revealed her true face, Fu Yue was stunned.

He quickly said, no wonder the girl didn't show her true face. If she showed her true face to others, it would probably make people feel uneasy and cause trouble.

Ji Chutang also understood this truth, so he seldom went out, and it was always Fu Yue who went out.

Even when going out, they would put turmeric powder on their faces or wear a veil or cap.

One day, Ji Chutang was lying in the yard basking in the sun, and He Chengchuan happened to come and handle the paperwork for her to rent the yard and brought it to her specially.

Then I saw Ji Chutang’s true face.

A seven-foot-tall man, his waxy yellow skin had unusually turned red, and he stammered when he spoke.

From then on, he came to visit every few days.

Knowing that he was a good man with no bad intentions, Ji Chutang just let him do what he wanted.

Moreover, he was a yamen runner, so she would be safer here, and there would be no chance of scoundrels plotting to attack her.

And every time he delivered something to his door, Ji Chutang would return it in another way.

Sometimes it was cakes made by Fu Yue, and sometimes it was some copper coins and silver.

If he refuses, you are not allowed to come to his house next time and I will not accept his things.

So the two parties have always maintained a friendly trading relationship.

At dinner time.

Fu Yue brought a plate of steamed fish, which was so fresh, tender and smooth that Ji Chutang felt like his eyebrows were about to fall off.

I ate two bowls of rice in one go.

The system was also licking its lips greedily. Although it couldn't eat it, Ji Chutang's delicious food show was right in front of it. How could it not be greedy?

The two of them were united, completely unaware that danger was approaching quietly.
