In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Zhen Yu sent Wei Bufan to keep an eye on Chen Ruotong's movements. He felt that Chen Ruotong must have some secrets, and perhaps he could find some clues from her.

In order to solve the doubts in his heart as soon as possible, Zhen Yu went to the yamen in the afternoon to consult Prefect Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang did not know Zhen Yu. When Zhen Yu took out the nameplate of the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, he realized that the young man in his twenties in front of him was the Chief Justice of Dali Temple of the third rank. Then he, a small official of the fourth rank, had to greet the arrival of the third rank official from the capital with great respect!

So he bowed and said, "Your subordinate, Zhang Bingqing pays respect to Master Zhen."

Zhen Yuxu supported him and said, "Master Zhang, there is no need to be so polite. I came here just to find out what kind of person Chen Guchuan is."

So, Magistrate Zhang introduced in detail Chen Ruotong's identity, family, and his performance in this fundraising for disaster relief.

After carefully savoring every word that Zhang Zhifu said, Zhen Yu said, "It seems that Chen Guchuan has good character, is young and promising, and has great love in his heart. Very good!"

Then Zhen Yu inquired in detail about the thefts at Wang Jin's house and the murder of Bai Wuchang. There were many doubts, so he had to figure them out slowly.

At this time, Chen Guchuan also came to Zhang's house and gave Chen's invitation letter. It was almost autumn harvest, and Chen invited Zhang to visit the farm. The two old men were both good at farming and got along very well. So, they studied how to farm together. Chen Ruotong was very happy for Chen to find a good friend with similar interests in a foreign land.

When Chen Ruotong walked into the flower hall, she saw Zhen Yu sitting opposite Magistrate Zhang and thought: Do Master Zhen and Magistrate Zhang know each other?

At this time, Prefect Zhang waved his hand and said, "Gu Chuan, come here. I'll introduce you to a gentleman. This is the Minister of the Dali Temple in the capital, Mr. Zhen."

Prefect Zhang introduced Chen Guchuan to Zhen Yu: "Master Zhen, this is the Chen Guchuan I was talking about."

Chen Guchuan was stunned: It turns out that Zhen Yu is a high-ranking official. The Dali Temple Minister should be a third-rank official, two levels higher than Lord Zhang! So he hurriedly said, "Hello, Lord Zhen, I am honored to be here!"

Zhen Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Chen Si, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Mr. Zhen. Don't mention the master all the time, as if I'm not approachable enough. Hahaha..."

Chen Ruotong didn't say much to Zhen Yu. She handed the invitation to Prefect Zhang, said goodbye to the two of them and left.

Zhen Yu said: "Master Zhang's young relative is really good. He may not be very young, but he is very capable!"

After obtaining a lot of personal information about Chen Guchuan from Magistrate Zhang, he would go back and analyze and study Chen Guchuan in detail.

Wei Bufan kept an eye on Chen Guchuan every day, but he didn't find anything new. Every day, after the two stores closed, Qiao Zien would pick up Chen Guchuan and go home together. He knew that the two stores were profitable, but Chen Guchuan had never deposited money into a bank or exchanged silver at a bank. He was very curious, could he have hidden all the money in Chen's house? That would be a big deal!

So he reported this phenomenon to Zhen Yu, but Zhen Yu didn't think it was a big deal. Chen's house has a cellar and a dark room, isn't that normal? All wealthy families do this!

It is mid-September now and the rice is basically ripe. It will be ready for harvest in a few days, so the farm is particularly busy.

Qiao Zien also had three days off, so she went to the farm with Chen Guchuan to work. In fact, Chen Ruotong didn't need to do anything, and she didn't know how to do anything. She just asked Qiao Zien to help with the account keeping, and most of the time, they were just sightseeing.

Old Mrs. Chen complained to Chen Ruotong: "My grandson is so busy every day that he forgot about me, an old lady, and only came to the village to see his grandmother!"

"Grandma, those two stores are indeed busy, and they also make money. I want to make lots of money for you to spend, so that you can enjoy life!" Chen Ruotong said coquettishly.

"You kid, your mouth is full of honey. Grandma is enjoying herself now. Grandma is not short of money. You can keep it for yourself!"

Under the supervision and instruction of Old Lady Chen, Zhang no longer dared to ask Chen Ruotong for money. She had also made up her mind that since her daughter was filial, she would not suffer any loss, so she could just enjoy herself here. She did not have to worry about the big and small matters at home, and there were maids to do the laundry and cooking, so she had a leisurely life every day. It would be nice to be a free and wealthy lady! Why bother?

In the evening, Chen Ruotong felt a little hot, so she went into the space to take a shower and cool down. When she went to the bathroom to relieve herself, she suddenly remembered the Black Impermanence assassin who was locked in the men's bathroom. Now she had time to deal with him.

It was getting dark, and Chen Ruotong left the manor alone and went to a distant wood. She wanted to pry open Hei Wuchang's mouth and ask him what was going on with the fan.

She was still a little scared. After all, it was her first time to be alone in this dark forest. What if a wolf appeared? Just bring it into the space. What was there to be afraid of? If she dressed up as a ghost, she would scare the ghost!

So she disappeared into the woods, and half an hour later, she had dressed up as the White Impermanence, and riding a balance bike, she carried the tied-up Black Impermanence out of the space.

Hei Wuchang woke up immediately after breathing in the fresh air. When he opened his eyes, he saw a different Bai Wuchang. That was not his companion Lao Qi, but the real Bai Wuchang. He was also frightened. Are there really ghosts in this world?

Hei Wuchang calmed down and said, "You look quite similar. Who are you? Why did you tie me up? Where is Chen Guchuan?"

Chen Ruotong was shocked when she heard this. He knew everything about her. How long had he been watching her? Was he trying to snatch her away?

Chen Ruotong used a voice changer to become a bass: "Tell me, how many people have you killed? The underworld is coming to claim your life, and then she swayed left and right on the balance bike, sticking out her red tongue to scare him.

After all, he was an experienced assassin, and he knew that there were no ghosts in the world. He saw that the tongue was fake, and the foot should be a wheel or something like that. So, he was not afraid, and laughed: "I have killed many people, if you want my life, take it!" He was quite tough.

Chen Ruotong was helpless and angry. What kind of attitude is this? Is this the right attitude towards ghosts? Shouldn't he be scared to pee his pants? It seems that this guy is not afraid of ghosts. Well, bring him into the space again and torture him.

So, he brought Hei Wuchang into the space again, beat him up with punches and kicks, took out the dagger from his body, stabbed him twice in the arms, and brought him out again.

Hei Wuchang felt pain now. He felt a sharp pain in both arms and they were bleeding. So he asked, "Who are you? What do you want to know?"

"Smart, why did you want to grab that fan? What's your secret?"

That person didn't understand what the fan was. Where did the fan come from? What did it have to do with him?

From the looks of it, he didn't know anything about the fan, so why did he snatch Chen Ruotong away? Or did the people who ordered him just want to tie him up and ask for the fan in person?

Just as she was about to bring Hei Wuchang into the space to torture him again, a sharp arrow shot at her from behind.
