Of course, the statements cannot really serve as the basis for judgment, but after having the statements, you can check the movements of these people. If they match, then it is probably true.

After a thorough investigation, Lu Mingyun discovered that the families who took the medicine had no connection to the two deceased. Whether it was the ghost immortal's hiding place, the shop he opened, or even his food, clothing, or daily necessities, they had nothing to do with them.

They are all old businessmen and keep a certain distance from the Ghost Immortal. They want the Ghost Immortal's medicine but don't want to be really involved with the Ghost Immortal.

So there is someone else who helps the ghost immortal.

The investigation into the matter came to an end here. Lu Mingyun was most suspicious of the Qian Family Village on Jinming Mountain, but they had already secretly gone to the capital when Lu Mingyun was investigating the wealthy businessman. If he wanted to report and track down the Qian family, he would need certain evidence, but he could not find any, not a single bit.

The Ghost Immortal's shop is an abandoned and closed shop. The owner died of illness a few years ago. Because the shop was located in a remote area, his family could not sell it and just left it there without taking care of it.

The Ghost Immortal's food, clothing, and daily necessities were mostly found randomly on the streets, and they did not find anyone who had contact with him except the wealthy businessman.

The only thing Lu Mingyun could think of was that the Ghost Immortal's arrival was planned in advance, so there was no further communication between them.

Who was this ghost immortal? What was he doing in Su County? Why did he choose Su County to do this?

The more Lu Mingyun pondered these questions, the more anxious he became. He couldn't help but associate the ghost immortal with the Taoist priest who proposed the life-suppression scheme...

The matter was ultimately left unresolved.

The government office couldn't catch the man, so they could only post a notice with a portrait of the ghost immortal as described. It also said that this man was a swindler who used high prices to buy embroidery to trick unarmed women into going to uninhabited places and killing them. Then he would cruelly slit their throats and bleed them to make medicine. If anyone saw this man, reported him to the government and assisted the government in catching him, they would get 100 taels of silver.

When this notice was first released, it caused a burst of sighs, and then people went in groups to look for the person in the portrait. After all, one hundred taels of silver was not a small amount of money.

After all the noise and ups and downs, time quickly came to July. The weather in July was so hot that there were fewer people coming to Li Mofu's shop to eat hot pot, maocai and barbecue, and more people came to eat cold noodles and drink tea.

The recipe for cold noodles and cold skin was an improved version sent by Wang Ruiyan. She also made some improvements to Li Mofu's base and talked a lot about her life in Beijing.

She said that Liang Yu had come to see her and told her about the difficulties in the mansion. He also repeatedly promised that he would not touch the concubine sent by the Qian family.

In her letter, Wang Ruiyan asked Li Mofu if all men liked to feign ignorance. Was she solely concerned about the interference of a third party in her relationship with him? No, she cared about both her own reputation and that of the royal family, as well as the various disagreements she would face after marrying out. But she also sympathized with a woman who had been married in as a bargaining chip.

Li Mofu wrote back to her, saying that men are like this. If you can control him, he might take two merchant girls as concubines.

Wang Ruiyan also said that if nothing unexpected happened, she would be engaged to Lu Fengning in two months. She also said that her business in the capital was good, and later she followed Li Mofu's advice to open another store, and now she is making a lot of money.

Li Mofu told Wang Ruiyan about his recent situation in the letter, and also talked about the ghost immortal killing people and refining medicine. Finally, he remembered that Lu Mingyun suspected that the Qian family was involved in this matter, so he told Wang Ruiyan about it.

The Qian family has now fled to the capital, which is the foothills of the emperor. Since he dared to run there, it means that he has a backer there. If so, no one knows what will happen next in the capital. Li Mofu is a little worried that Wang Ruiyan will be implicated because of the Qian family's broken engagement with Liang Yu.

Because it was hot in the summer, Li Mofu put on his cool skirt again and rarely went to the store. Since there was no business anyway, it was better to stay at home and escape the heat.

The two cats at home are more than half a year old and have grown a lot. They really change every day. However, they no longer have the energy to run around. In the middle of the day, they lie down under the eaves and sleep. It seems that even cats can't stand the heat.

Li Mofu also took back the rocking chair in the small garden. There was really no shade, so it would be better to lie under the eaves.

"Sir, the iced drink is here, but you have to drink less or you'll have a stomachache again." Nanny Liang came over with ice-cold watermelon juice and watermelon, smiling.

Li Mofu fluttered and sat up, "Thank you for your hard work, Mammy. It's so hot today."

"The watermelon won't make you feel hot anymore," said Madam Liang as she placed the food on the small table. She then sighed while looking at the sun outside. "I don't know why the young master came back to eat on such a hot day. He could have just asked Eleven to bring it over."

Li Mofu took a sip and felt so refreshed that his brows relaxed. He was in a good mood. "Who cares? Maybe he just likes basking in the sun!"

Nanny Liang smiled, and there was a hint of helplessness in the look she gave Li Mofu. Li Mofu didn't notice, and rolled up his sleeves to start eating the watermelon.

"Where are the fruits?" asked Nanny Liang.

Li Mofu mumbled something that Nanny Liang didn't understand, so Mo Yi, who was sitting nearby, replied, "He went upstairs to dry the quilts."

"Guozi said the weather is good and we need to dry everything in the sun." Li Mofu said after swallowing the watermelon.

Nanny Liang said she was going to help Guozi and then left.

"Have you been following me more closely recently?" Li Mofu asked Mo Yi while holding a watermelon.

"The young master ordered it." Mo Yi shrugged.

"Yi Ran must have returned to the capital. He won't come to arrest me again." Li Mofu said.

"It seems to be because of the ghost immortal. The young master didn't tell me the details, so I don't know." Mo Yi said.

"Would you like to eat watermelon?" Li Mofu asked.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Mo Yi said.
