Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Not long after, the Fu family steward brought news.

The troublemakers were sent to jail. If it were just the incident of them losing money trying to steal chickens in the south of the city, it wouldn't be enough to teach them a lesson. But Fu Miao'an was a professional, and he quickly found out that they had committed other crimes, from petty theft and vandalism to serious cases involving murder.

This time,

Although they were acting under orders, as a price for refusing to back down and insisting on protecting those behind them, they must accept the full punishment.

But some of the smaller fry were willing to confess.

The available information was limited, and it was only through integration from multiple sources that a general direction was found.

today,

Fu Miao'an then followed the clues to investigate.

As a party involved, he needed to avoid suspicion during the trial after apprehending the suspect and uncovering clues. Therefore, he chose to conduct this private investigation on a day off, and even without the Kaifeng Prefecture officials with him, Xia Youmi could still be "invited" to witness it.

Of course, her motives weren't pure either; she just happened to hear that the male lead was going to bring the female lead to Feihua Pavilion to find Panlan's mother on the same day.

There were no performances scheduled at Feihua Pavilion today, and most of the officials in Bianjing had no official business to attend to and could just loiter around. With such a pace, the probability of something going wrong is very high.

Xia Youmi didn't want to get involved in more of the main storyline, so she had to create her own separate, mundane life.

Through training, Xinrong's interpersonal skills also improved rapidly. Xia Youmi bluntly said that if you have ambition, once you have sorted out all the affairs of Feihua Pavilion and won people's hearts, it is not impossible to pass on the title of Pavilion Master to her openly and legitimately.

So there's no need to hide anything. Ask questions if you don't understand, observe more and be more patient. As long as you want to improve, neither Panlan nor Chiyou will stop you; they will only help you.

If you're content to be a manager, that's fine too; if you encounter something you can't handle, just leave it and wait for her to finish.

Practice your persuasive talking techniques first.

Although Xinrong's mind has been somewhat skewed, she still can't quite say what she wants in the future.

Just by following Sister Miye, or rather, Mother Xinpanlan, she dressed better and ate better, and her original goal of becoming the most favored person by her sister's side was slowly realized.

It's really hard to come up with any new ideas.

See here,

Xia Youmi didn't force her to grow too quickly, giving her ample room to develop.

After years of observation, I have never encountered this girl who acts one way in person and another way in person, so I entrusted her with this grand scene where the male and female leads work together.

The core principle is "delay".

Just drag it out until they lose interest.

When Fu Miao'an mentioned today's plan, Xia Youmi quietly passed on the message and successfully followed the familiar team to this incredibly authentic rural area.

Yan Laoyao followed along and entered the village where the people with relevant clues lived. Only then did everyone realize that the boy's monkey-like appearance was not just because his family was very frugal.

And the whole area is like that.

The young boys and girls were all equally thin.

This is right under the emperor's nose, and they haven't even stepped out of Bianjing City yet, and this group of young children are already living like refugees!

Xia Youmi was also somewhat surprised.

She had been to the logging camps before, where most of the adults were still quite energetic; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do heavy work. But she couldn't understand why so many children were so withered and emaciated.

They exchanged a glance, and Fu Miao'an's brows furrowed, unable to relax.

Whether out of habit or not, Yan Laoyao still greeted the familiar children cheerfully, but few were friendly. Most of the children would just turn their backs on him and hum a couple of times with disdain in their tone.

Yan Laoyao didn't take their responses seriously. He just stood there with his chest puffed out, following Xia Youmi around like a tail wagging. With his increasingly muscular physique, he actually looked quite dashing.

"My lord, we've arrived! This is that humble man's home." The man leading the way spoke with a fawning smile.

Knock on the door.

"Yes!"

"Uncle Zhao! Uncle Zhao! I have something to discuss with you."

"Knock Knock-"

The gate remained unmoved, there was no sound from inside, and no neighbors came out to explain.

With a glance from Fu Miao'an, someone went to knock on the doors of the neighbors in all directions and got the same result: no one from his family had gone out that day.

"Lord Fu, something doesn't smell right." Xia Youmi sniffed the faint fishy smell in the air and reminded Fu Miao'an.

Soon after, the village head also arrived.

Upon seeing the old man, Xia Youmi finally understood what was subtly amiss.

This area was clearly assigned to Wande Ward in Bianjing, and should have been under unified jurisdiction with officials such as the ward chief. However, they seem to have retained a very complete village system, and the administrator is still the original village chief. As for who actually manages the family, that's another matter.

After a brief exchange, they realized they had initially been preventing the intruders from trespassing on private property.

The unusual smell in the air raised concerns that something might have happened. Surrounded by the growing crowd, the old village chief couldn't bring himself to refuse; he was struggling to breathe.

They didn't care about the villagers themselves. Even though Fu Miao'an and his group noticed the village chief's strange behavior, they only silently guarded their master's side. If they were to disperse to other places, it would be unforgivable if anyone hurt their master.

"Just break it open..."

With a loud crash, no one cared about Uncle Zhao's door.

The hall was quiet; I almost mistook it for an accidental intrusion.

But as soon as they stepped inside, Fu Miao'an ordered, "Everyone step back! Go, quickly ride to Kaifeng Prefecture and summon someone!"

"Yes!" Although it was a day off today and most officials were not on duty, such a case that was close to wiping out an entire family could not be treated lightly.

Furthermore, this is also a clue about the mastermind behind Fu Miao'an's investigation. To be so blatantly provoked, to have human lives treated like dirt?

Apart from the villagers who were uninvolved and the neighbors and enemies who were just watching the show, everyone else present was there.

Most of them had solemn and unhappy expressions.

Others covered their mouths and noses, feeling nauseous. Chi You was one of them. This wasn't acting; the reactions of both the old and the young were truly horrific. Her body was more sensitive to smells than ever before; she could suppress it mentally, but not physically.

Fu Miao'an didn't rush to perform an autopsy, not wanting to arouse more suspicion. That's when he noticed Xia Youmi's discomfort.

"Auntie." A child's voice rang out, and Xia Youmi realized that she was still covering the youngest child's eyes.

"grown ups."

"Let's go out first." Fu Miao'an used his body to block the horrific scene inside and said to the old village chief, "Have people guard the inside and outside of this house. Anyone who tries to destroy it will leave a trace. We'll go to Kaifeng Prefecture together to explain then."

"As ordered."

Fu Miao'an revealed his token, and the restless crowd immediately stopped, only daring to lower their voices.

Not long after, someone arrived.

It wasn't just people from Kaifeng Prefecture; high-ranking officials and their families came in a long line.

in this way,

It's obvious where the Zhao family's ancestral home is.

Xia Youmi was impersonating Panlan, but she didn't inherit Panlan's memories. On the night of the switch, she learned part of the truth, as well as the other party's one-sided account of her childhood, but who would have thought that the coincidences would be so extreme.

Listening to their shady arguments, she realized that the village had migrated from the outskirts of Bianjing (Kaifeng) and had once been a relatively isolated place.

The connection between Xia Youmi and Zhou Yin is that they grew up there together.

She wasn't sure how many people remembered the two of them, but that was the fact.

Something happened in the village, whether good or bad, but the whole village moved to the city.

In addition, there is the Zhao family that was recently wiped out.

Even if the family that Zhao Yuanqing arranged to raise the two sisters didn't live together, but just had separate courtyards and their wives would feed them, there was no guarantee that no one would remember them.

I remember she seemed insignificant, but this family got involved in sending people to cause trouble for the Fu family, and they were dealt with prematurely.

If Fu Miaoan is treated as a suspect, he will soon be exonerated.

But what if attention is drawn to the twin flowers, especially to Fu Miao'an?

The peaceful days of Feihua Pavilion and Xia Youmi will face new clues and interrogations.

Thinking back to that night,

If Zhao Yuanqing and Panlan are similar yet different, then I'm afraid their other father will also be involved.

Or perhaps, he was already involved.

However, he has been observing Zhou Yin and exerting his influence on the Wen family lineage.

Who made the timing of Mi Ye's disappearance so coincidental? Without finding her, there was no way to begin the search. And then there was the palace's biggest politician, whose stance was completely inconsistent, adding fuel to the fire. That's why they hadn't found Xia Youmi. His eyes darkened, and he frowned, clutching his chest, instantly drawing worried glances from those around him.

"Aunt Chi, are you alright?"

Yan Laoyao recovered under the wall; in fact, he hadn't seen anything before his eyes were covered. At this moment, he was more concerned about Chi You and didn't even notice that his older brother and parents had arrived.

At a loss for what to do, yet attentive and solicitous.

Some people were stunned. Was this really the same mischievous monkey?

They're as docile and obedient as rabbits!
