Zhou Chang didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he felt that the sky outside the cell was still dark.

Why is the sun setting?

Could it be that she slept for the entire day?

I got up and moved my body around. Maybe the ointment I used yesterday took effect, and I didn't feel any pain anywhere on my body.

Just as I was secretly rejoicing, I heard the sound of the cell lock being unlocked.

Immediately afterwards, a female prison guard shouted, "Li Caifeng, bring her in for questioning."

Zhou Chang was shocked. She was really scared.

Although I was worried, I had to go anyway.

Escorted by two female jailers, Zhou Chang turned left and right and finally entered a stone house with four walls and a skylight above.

The sun was setting and candles were already lit in the house.

Compared to the interrogation room where he was detained yesterday, this one is bigger and has more torture instruments.

Behind a thick black wooden table in the middle, Lu Douliang, a man with green eyes and a goatee, was sitting, looking tired.

The two groups of officials stood tall below, and although each of them was holding a killing stick, their postures were also shaking.

Are you tired after interrogating people for a whole day?

Zhou Chang was pinned down by the female supervisor and knelt on the ground.

There was a "pop" sound.

Lu Douliang slammed the gavel, which alerted himself: "Kneel down but it's Li Caifeng."

"I am Li Caifeng, a commoner, paying my respects to Your Excellency." Zhou Chang always insisted that she was just an ordinary woman and not a suspect.

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a white jade ring." The Viewpoint System never picks a time to place an order.

But Zhou Chang didn't even see the white jade ring anywhere.

Green Bean Eyes immediately followed up with an interrogation: "You are responsible for purchasing these Kabuki and are also responsible for supervising them on the ship. Have you seen anyone suspicious?"

Green Bean Eyes' attitude has softened a lot today, and I don't know if it's because Miss Yuan gave him some money.

"No, I don't know." Zhou Chang gave the same answer as yesterday.

"I heard that you didn't allow these Kabuki to talk to each other while you were on the ship. Why is that?" asked Green Eyes again.

Zhou Chang didn't know the answer for the moment, so he had to look for it in Master Li's memory.

"Don't tell me you know something and are afraid that one of them will be exposed, so you forbid them to collude privately." The man with green eyes stared at them and asked.

"No," Zhou Chang began to think, "They are not allowed to talk privately because Cao Dazhang instructed that these geishas are to be sent to various mansions. Since they are all noble masters, it is not appropriate for the geishas to get to know each other, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."

Green Eyes stroked his goatee without expressing his opinion.

Zhou Chang suddenly noticed that he was wearing a bright white ring on the thumb of his right hand with a goatee.

The things that the client of the plane ordered were actually in the hands of the chief official of the Ministry of Justice.

What is her current identity?

How can this be?

"Do you still have any humanity? Do you still have any humanity?" No matter how angry Zhou Chang was, he could only shout these two sentences silently.

The viewpoint system is emotionless: "Customers are the top priority, and this system does not comment."

Green Bean Eyes continued: "We found a kind of spice unique to Mirage Country in the packages of two Kabukis before. Did you know about it?"

"You are ignorant. We spent a huge amount of money to purchase these Kabuki girls, and they were required to carry their own skills, so it is normal for them to carry personal belongings." Zhou Chang answered as politely as possible, while stealing a glance at the ring on Green Bean Eyes' hand.

Green Bean Eyes nodded, and then thought of another question: "There were two women searched on the boat a few days ago. One had a rosewood hairpin on her head, and the other had one in her hand. Since you have been working in Yaoyuefang for many years, you have seen countless women wearing jewelry. You should recognize them, right?"

Zhou Chang still answered truthfully: "When Kabuki actors are sold, they have already been stripped clean by the traffickers, and it is difficult for them to have any valuable ornaments left on them. There is a small wooden hairpin on her head, which I have never noticed, not to mention the material of the hairpin. I really can't tell."

Green Bean Eyes had a blank expression on his face, and it wasn't clear whether he was satisfied with this answer.

Zhou Chang thought of Xiqiao again. He thought of how she, with her delicate body, disappeared out of thin air, which seemed to have frightened the man with the green bean eyes.

Thinking about it this way, the white jade ring is not completely impossible.

But there is only one chance, and that is the moment of touching the white jade ring, the transmission will be immediate, just like the first time the hairpin was transmitted.

"Sir, may I ask how that delicate girl is doing now?" Zhou Chang asked bravely.

We have to think of a way to get Green Bean Eyes to take off the ring.

"Delicate?" The green eyes obviously couldn't match the description.

Zhou Chang did not mention the hairpin, but only reminded: "The one who had internal injuries and had a sudden high fever."

"She?" Green-eyed girl immediately remembered the woman Miss Yuan had specially requested and spent money to hire a doctor to treat yesterday, but she did not give a direct answer, but said, "That person is the woman who turned into a hairpinless woman. She is very suspicious."

"When she was bought, she had no belongings on her. As for the wooden hairpin that you mentioned, I have been on the boat for so long that I never noticed it." Zhou Chang did not dare to say anything definite, mainly because she did not know how Xiqiao would deny the matter, but she wanted to do her best to excuse Xiqiao.

The man with the mung bean eyes narrowed his eyes, and his left hand unconsciously began to turn the white jade ring on his right hand.

Zhou Chang knew that Green Bean Eyes was just a coward that day, so he tried to test her: "Although I have never seen the hairpin you mentioned on her, a strange thing happened when I bought the girl."

"Oh? What's strange?" Green Eyes immediately became interested.

Zhou Chang couldn't come up with a good story, so he could only copy the homework: "Xiqiao, as her name suggests, has thin arms and legs but an unusually soft body, and her face is not outstanding. I didn't think much of her at first. But the night I bought her, I had a dream. I dreamed of a giant snake hovering in the air and talking to me. It said that Xiqiao was its sister, who had transformed into a human form over a thousand years to gain experience in the human world. It told me to treat her well, and that I would repay her in the future. Don't you think it's strange? I have never seen an animal transform into a human before."

This story is crudely made up and I try my best to avoid any verification.

"So you have been thinking about her all the time and even begged your young lady to treat her illness?" The man with green eyes seemed to believe it a little.

Zhou Chang nodded. He didn't expect that the man with the green bean eyes was so smart that he even knew this.

The man with green eyes stroked his beard again and narrowed his eyes.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Quietly, quietly, it was getting darker outside.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from somewhere, and the tightly closed door shook.

"Ah..., what is that?" Zhou Chang suddenly widened his eyes in horror, stared behind Green Bean Eyes, and rolled and crawled back.

"What?" Green Eyes turned back in shock.

Everyone in the hall was also shocked.

"Black shadow, there is a black shadow." Zhou Chang jumped up and ran away in fright.

Two female supervisors rushed over to hold him down.

Zhou Chang only stared at the back of Green Bean Eyes, and his voice changed: "It's a snake, a black snake, don't come over..."

Everyone in the hall looked towards Green Bean Eyes.

"There, there..." Zhou Chang pointed to the top of the green bean eyes' head again, hugging the female supervisor's thighs while shouting, "Black, black, so big."

The two female prisoners were frightened and retreated in panic, shouting, "Where is it? Where? What is that?"

Green Eyes had already jumped up from his seat and looked around.

"Don't come over here, don't come over here, I'm a good person, I've never done anything wrong..." Zhou Chang rolled and crawled, and the women in the prison couldn't hold him back.

After hearing this shout, no one in the room could remain calm.

In the chaos, human figures were moving in the wind, candlelight was flickering, and people were in panic.

How many people in the government office have never done something wrong? "You can rely on your looks, but you choose to write.

I don’t know who Mingming is, but I am Qiao Qiao.
