Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

In the provincial prison, the sky gradually darkened.

The sound of the door opening and footsteps woke Lu Xunhuan up from his cultivation.

Looking at the dim light in the cell, he couldn't help but shook his head.

The news from Sima Cao and the prefect was so slow to spread. Don’t they know that I have been thrown into jail yet?

In fact, someone had already reported the news.

However, Sima Cao and the prefect are nowhere to be found.

As the lights came on, in a gorgeous brothel in Zhongzhou City, the prefect was getting up from the bed, surrounded by women on both sides.

"Oh, my beauty, you slept so soundly."

He stretched himself and said, "Let the maid prepare some food and wine to fill our stomachs. Then we can continue playing."

The two women stood up delicately: "Sir, you are really amazing. I admire you so much."

"Hush," the prefect hurriedly signaled, "Don't call me sir, call me brother..."

The two women fumbled around on him, coquettishly and charmingly saying, "Brother..."

He tossed and turned on the bed, laughing and having fun.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The prefect hurriedly grabbed the two women and said, "Stop making a fuss, stop making a fuss, and ask who it is."

A woman got up, walked to the door, and asked, "Who is it?"

A woman outside the door answered, "It's me."

The woman turned around and said to the prefect, "My mother is here," and then opened the door.

The old woman came in with a beaming smile and bowed to the bedside: "How are you? Are you happy today?"

The prefect laughed and said, "Haha, happy, happy. Prepare some wine and food. I'm hungry."

The old woman gave him a wink: "No problem, but there is one thing I don't know whether I should tell you."

The prefect asked, "What's the matter?"

The old maid said, "It is said that Lord Xiao arrested Lord Lu, the newly appointed commander in the army. It is also said that Lord Xiao led his men to raid Lord Lu's house, but was beaten to a cripple by Lord Lu's maid."

The prefect stood up hurriedly and said, "Oh, why didn't you come and report earlier?"

The old woman said, "You are sleeping, and I dare not disturb you."

Inside the prison, a yamen runner walked in and placed a bowl of rice on the floor of the next cell: "You old fool, it's time to eat."

After saying this, the bailiff left again.

The old man crawled over, picked up the bowl, and crawled all the way to the iron railing: "Young man, they really won't give you any food. Come, we'll each have half."

Lu Xunhuan stood up and walked over to take a look.

There was only half a bowl of rice in that bowl, no vegetables, and only a few shreds of pickled vegetables.

Moreover, there are no tools, so you can only eat it with your hands.

He said to the old man, "Old man, please eat. I'm not hungry. Besides, I can't be locked up for long."

The old man didn't try to persuade him anymore. He leaned against the iron railing, grabbed the rice, and slowly stuffed it into his mouth: "I am an old man, and I am not guilty. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me for being young and ignorant, and being frivolous and arrogant."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Have you been imprisoned for decades?"

The old man gestured tremblingly: "When I came in, I was twenty-two, and I have been imprisoned for forty years."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Why?"

The old man turned around and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "Young man, are you a cultivator?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Yes, the one that goes to the Heavenly Gate."

The old man looked a little confused: "Where is the gate to heaven?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "When you came here, Dengtianmen hadn't been established yet. It was under the jurisdiction of Changfeng Town."

The old man said "Oh" and continued to eat.

After a while, the old man finished his meal and put the bowl on the ground. "I, an old man, don't know how long I can live. Maybe a few years, maybe I will die tomorrow. Young man, I see that you look righteous, so you must be a good person. I want to tell you a secret. Do you want to listen?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "If you are willing to tell me, I would be happy to listen."

The old man slowly turned around and gestured, "Come closer."

When Lu Xunhuan leaned closer, the old man whispered to him, "Beixi Village, under the bridge, under the water..."

At this time, the sound of a door opening was heard outside.

The old man quickly lay down on the ground: "Is it clear?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Understood."

The old man lay down completely and stopped talking.

Lu Xunhuan stood up and walked to the prison door.

After a while, the prefect came hurriedly. Seeing Lu Xunhuan, he hurriedly said to the yamen runner, "Quick, quick, let him out..."

A yamen runner hurried forward to open the door.

The prefect scolded him, "You are so bold! You dare to lock up the captain?"

The yamen runner complained, "Sir, we, your subordinates, are in a dilemma..."

The prefect angrily said, "Bullshit..."

Lu Xunhuan said, "Okay, don't blame them. It was Xiao Zhang who was looking for trouble..."

He turned to look at the old man and asked the prefect, "What crime did that old man commit?"

The prefect said, "Xun Huan, we have no right to release this man. He was captured by the Kyoto Prefecture. They've been interrogating him for five years, crippling him. They haven't gotten anything out of him. The Kyoto Prefecture just gave him a sentence of life imprisonment, and they're ready to investigate again at any moment. Tell me, do we dare to let him go?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "What happened next? Did the Kyoto government come to inquire about it?"

The prefect said, "He has never come again."

The door opened and Lu Xunhuan walked out: "Then do you know what the Jingdu Prefecture wants to investigate?"

The prefect shook his head and said, "No one knows anything. Because of this, everyone believes that the old man is hiding a great secret. Therefore, successive prefects have dared not let him go."

Lu Xunhuan looked back at the old man curled up on the ground, said nothing more, and followed the prefect out of the provincial prison.

By the time Lu Xunhuan accepted the prefect's invitation and had a good meal, it was already late at night when he returned to the courtyard in the south of the city.

He walked into the reception room, lit the light, took out a pen and paper, and wanted to plan the training.

Ye Feihong and Qingdai heard his movement and quickly got up and came to greet him.

Ye Feihong asked, "Master, are you okay?"

Lu Xun Huan used a ruler to hold down the paper: "It's okay."

He told Qingdai, "Make me a pot of tea."

After Qingdai turned around to make tea, Ye Feihong said again: "Someone came to cause trouble during the day and I beat him up."

Lu Xun Huan handed him the ink and said, "Grind it."

Ye Feihong took the ink and ground it in the inkstone. "I didn't know he was the chief inspector of the governor's office. His attack was a bit heavy, but it won't cause you any trouble, right?"

Lu Xun Huan smiled: "You can do it, this young master admires it very much. As long as the person is not dead, it's okay, don't take it to heart."

A smile also appeared on Ye Feihong's face: "Are you really okay?"

Lu Xun Huan picked up his pen and said, "Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up for you. What's the difference between that inspector and the bandits from Black Stone Village? The only difference is that the bandits from Black Stone Village live in the mountains, while he lives in the city."

He put down his pen and said, "By the way, where's the 100,000 taels of silver?"

Ye Feihong replied, "I'm keeping it."

Qingdai came in with a teapot, put it on the table, took the cup and poured tea for him.

Lu Xunhuan said, "I'll give you two tasks. Ye Feihong, see if there are any vacant shops on this street. We can rent them and open a jewelry store."

Ye Feihong blinked her eyes: "Master, are you going to start doing business?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded slightly. "Opening a shop is not only for making money, but also to provide us with an additional cover. We will open the first one in Zhongzhou first, then in Jingdu City, and then all over the world."

Ye Feihong thought for a moment and said, "But I don't understand jewelry."

Lu Xun Huan sat down again: "It's okay, as for talents, we just need to recruit them. I can't come forward. From now on, you will be the boss of the jewelry store."

After instructing Ye Feihong, he continued to speak to Qingdai, "Forty years ago, the Jingdu Prefecture captured a man in Zhongzhou City. They interrogated him for five years without success, and he's still incarcerated in the prefectural prison. The prefect said he might be holding a significant secret."

He ordered Qingdai, "Go and find out the whole story."

Qingdai nodded: "Okay."

She looked at Ye Feihong who was grinding ink and asked, "Master, what are you going to write? It's so late, aren't you going to bed yet?"

Lu Xun Huan picked up his pen again. "Write a set of training methods and have the soldiers practice according to them. As the saying goes, a new officer starts with three fires. I'm a captain now, so I have to show something. Otherwise, people will really think I'm just here to get a free meal."

He said to the two women, "Alright, go and rest. Tomorrow, each of you will carry out your mission."
