After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"He was murdered. When we arrived, he was already dead. We buried him afterwards but couldn't find the jade pendant." Zhong Ziyi replied, his thoughts going back to the past, sadness in his eyes.

"The person who harmed him has not been found yet." Zhong Ziyi walked down, "Brother Xiahou, where did you find this jade pendant?"

Considering that the matter involved Xia Nian, Xia Hou Yu replied that his friend had an accident and found it in the private room of the teahouse where the accident happened.

"Now it seems that this person wanted to use this jade pendant to frame you. He might not have thought that we would know the owner of Bishui Villa, nor did he expect that your jade pendant could directly know who it belongs to." Xiahou Yu said in a deep voice.

Zhong Ziyi's eyes widened, and he secretly exerted force on the hand holding the jade pendant, "So, the person who harmed your friend is the one who killed Li Ying!"

Xiahou Yu nodded: "I think so."

Zhong Ziyi suddenly coughed a few times, scaring the girl next to him so much that she quickly patted his back.

"Who on earth is it!" He held his chest with his hand, gritting his teeth, "The person who harmed my Bishui Villa now wants us to take the blame!"

"Don't worry, at least it proves that those things have nothing to do with you." Xiahou Yu said, "It is precisely because we don't believe it that we came here in person."

Zhong Ziyi straightened up and let out a long sigh.

Yiqing brought Tao Tao to the hall and walked straight in despite the guards outside trying to stop him.

Zhong Ziyi saw this and waved his hand, saying, "You guys go down, they are my friends, there is no need to do this."

Yi Qing looked him up and down, and said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "Zhong Ziyi, are you planning to stay in Bishui Villa for the rest of your life?"

Tao Tao heard what he said and quickly pulled him aside, "We are in someone else's place now, why are you so rude?"

Yiqing slightly suppressed his expression and whispered, "A Tao, I am telling the truth."

"But..." Tao Tao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhong Ziyi with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Brother Yi has always been like this."

Yiqing crossed his arms and snorted.

The guard outside ran forward, knelt on one knee with his hands clasped in front of him and said, "Master, there are two girls outside who want to see you."

"Please come in quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yin rushed in with Xia Nian.

She looked around, "Where's Zheng? Hasn't she come back yet?!"

Tao Tao shook her head, feeling very worried, "Not yet."

It was evening when they entered the miasma forest and morning when they arrived at Bishui Villa. Now it was the afternoon of the next day and Xu Zheng and the others had not arrived yet.

"What should I do? I'm so worried." Tao Tao walked over to them, "Will anything happen to A Zheng and the others?"

Xia Nian analyzed calmly: "It shouldn't be the case. All four of them know martial arts."

"Don't worry, three girls. We have sent people to pick you up outside the miasma forest." Zhong Ziyi said.

Xia Nian looked closely at his features. He had a handsome and elegant appearance, with clear eyes. He didn't look like someone who would do bad things.

Xiahou Yu coughed twice and told them about the false accusation against Bishui Villa.

"Who could it be..." Meng Yin pondered over it, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. "Oh, right! Did you offend anyone at Bishui Villa?"

Zhong Ziyi thought for a while and shook his head slowly: "That's not the case. Bishui Villa has never liked fighting and has almost never made enemies."

A slender figure in purple flashed through Xia Nian's mind, and he asked, "Do the people in the villa have any personal grudges against the sects outside?"

"This..." Zhong Ziyi hesitated when asked this. There were thousands of people in Bishui Villa, and he couldn't know everything about them. "I'm not sure about this. Does Miss Xia know anything?"

Xia Nian nodded and suggested, "Mr. Zhong, you'd better investigate whether there is anyone in the villa who has any grudges against the people of Nanmen Jian."

Hearing this, Meng Yin also remembered what Han Liuyi said and the corpse in the room.

"Mr. Zhong, has anyone from your villa been to Lianyun City recently?" Meng Yin asked.

"No, we blocked the entrances and exits five days ago and do not allow them to go out without permission." Zhong Ziyi said.

"Huh? Why can't you go out without permission?" Meng Yin frowned.

Zhong Ziyi recounted the story of the rampant smallpox in Taoyuan City, and the three were stunned.

"Oh my god, is the news so blocked? I've never heard of it." Meng Yin said in surprise.

"Well, I heard that many people died in Taoyuan City. The city lord had no choice but to invite a miracle doctor over. I don't know what the situation is now." Zhong Ziyi thought of the corpses that were carried out of Taoyuan City and burned, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Medical technology was not well developed in ancient times, and smallpox could have claimed the lives of many ordinary people..." Tao Tao, a medical student, heard this and thought of the three-year epidemic, and his voice trembled.

"Atao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Yiqing supported her and touched her forehead.

"I'm fine." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Meng Yin thought of another aspect. If the four major families help Taoyuan City survive this disaster, how many people will be won over?

In addition, they have the help of manpower, material and financial resources, and they have experienced similar things. As long as the relevant policies are moved over, the ancient virus will not spread very quickly, so it should not be too difficult.

After much thought, she decided to wait for Xu Zheng and the others to arrive before discussing it together.

A young girl ran in and said in a panic, "Master! Master Pei and his friends are here! But something seems to have happened to the girl in red."

"A Zheng!" Meng Yin and the other two ran out immediately and saw four figures at the door.

The girl in red that the little girl mentioned was indeed Xu Zheng. She was on Pei Xuanxi's back, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, and her head shaking slightly unconsciously.

Pei Xuanxi's white clothes were torn in many places, and his hair was tied up high with a cloth strip, which was rare. He had lost all his gentleness and was unusually cold and stern, not looking embarrassed at all.

"A Zheng, A Zheng!" Meng Yin ran to them and her voice woke up Xu Zheng on Pei Xuanxi's back.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zheng raised her head, still a little confused, "I just dreamed that I was eating a pork elbow."

"That's great, you're okay!" Meng Yin pulled back the tears that were about to fall in time and a smile appeared on her little face.

When Xia Nian and Tao Tao heard this, they finally felt relieved.

"It's not that I'm okay. I sprained my foot, my arm was cut by a knife, and my shoulder was bitten by a snake." Xu Zheng said this calmly. Tao Tao, who was standing beside her, was stunned for a second, her mouth drooped, and tears were about to fall.

"A Zheng..." She sobbed and looked at the wound on her arm.

"Oh my god, Taozi, don't cry, I'm fine now, Pei Xuanxi is here!" Xu Zheng patted Pei Xuanxi on the back, her smile still bright.

Pei Xuanxi couldn't laugh at all. Xu Zheng almost lost his life yesterday.

He carried Xu Zheng inside and put her down, and Tao Tao immediately went forward to feel her pulse.

"Fortunately, nothing serious happened." She raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "Zheng, you know, I dreamed of a snake, and I didn't expect you to be bitten by it."

Xu Zheng touched his chin and said, "Does this mean that we are in tune with each other?"

Tao Tao curled her lips, feeling helpless that she could still make a joke now.

Several servants prepared hot water and went out first.

Pei Xuanxi and A Yan also went to the room prepared in advance. Xia Nian thought of what Meng Yin said and silently watched Han Liuyi's back.

Han Liuyi remained silent. She looked a little tired, as if she had suffered a blow. Her eyes, which used to be bright and energetic, now looked a little listless.

She also went back to the house, maybe because she didn't want to see anyone from Bishui Villa.

"Niannian, you also think that Han Liuyi is wrong, right?" Meng Yin asked Xia Nian.

Xia Nian nodded and said, "When Master Zhong finds out if anyone has a personal grudge against Nanmen Jian, then we will know whether she is lying or not."

As soon as she finished speaking, her heart skipped a beat and she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Seeing the change in her expression, Meng Yin immediately asked: "Niannian, have you thought of something?"

Xia Nian nodded. Her intuition was always accurate, but unfortunately she couldn't figure out what was going to happen.

She grabbed Meng Yin's hand, her delicate eyebrows knitted together, her eyes suspicious: "Yin Yin, no matter what, we have to pay attention to Han Liuyi!"
