After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

In Yan Yun's eyes, even with so many guards, he was still able to come and go freely due to his high level of martial arts.

Is it possible that someone with his skill level couldn't do that?

If you have martial arts skills, does that mean you're the best in the world and can do anything?

Yan Yun's words made him chuckle.

Unlike his rough voice, his tone carried a youthful awkwardness, "So innocent, so naive."

His words, which were not exactly a compliment, also caught the attention of the patrolling men below.

Yan Yun didn't hear it clearly.

Who's speaking over there?

With a shout.

The person next to Yan Yun grabbed him, saying, "Hold on tight." The voice was as rough as ever.

After saying that, he grabbed Yan Yun's clothes and started moving, then jumped to another rooftop.

The patrolling guards appeared where Yan Yun and the others had just been standing.

The person following behind him spoke up, "But what did you see?"

"No, there's nothing there."

The man searched carefully and looked around, but couldn't find anyone. However, he had definitely heard people whispering inside.

"Your hearing seems to be better than ours, but you might still mishear."

"I'll take a look."

The man stood where Yan Yun had just been standing and searched carefully again.

Another person spoke up: "I looked around, but I couldn't find anyone."

"Then you must have misread it."

"Let's go."

Wait for the other party to leave and confirm that the sound has disappeared.

He asked Yan Yun in a low voice where they were going.

"You know where that place is, right?"

Yan Yun still remembered that when she and Zheng Jihua went there, she specifically looked at the name of the restaurant, which was called Fu Man Lou.

Yan Yun revealed his name.

"Then follow me."

In the darkness, two figures moved through the night, and Yan Yun, who was behind them, slipped and almost fell.

The person in front immediately turned around and pulled her up.

Although his tone remained cold, it also revealed a hint of barely perceptible worry, which he himself might not even be aware of.

"Be careful."

When they arrived at Fumanlou, just like when Zheng Jihua and I came together, there was hardly anyone there. Just like what we had seen earlier, nothing was left behind.

Yan Yunlai's trip was naturally in vain.

She knew this, but she had been thinking about it while at home, so she thought it would be good to come and see for herself.

She looked around, but still couldn't find the person she was looking for.

"If you're concerned, just go in and ask."

Before Yan Yun could understand what he meant, he grabbed her arm and jumped into the backyard.

In the courtyard, people were drawing water next to the well.

Startled by the sudden appearance of the two people, he was about to cry for help.

Yan Yun's master immediately took action, throwing a copper coin at him. The coin hit him in the mouth, and before he could cry out for help, he cried out in pain.

"what."

"Don't shout. I'm just here to ask some questions. You don't want to die here, do you?"

Hearing his threatening voice at night would frighten anyone.

The man covered his mouth and stopped making a sound. Seeing the copper coin on the ground, he immediately reached out and picked it up. He looked up at the two figures in front of him and immediately knelt down.

Yan Yun recognized him as Xiao Er from the daytime.

He looked at Yan Yun with great humility and sincerity, "As long as you two don't hurt me, I know I will tell you everything you want to ask."

"Go to your room first."

The man immediately stood up, his back hunched, and walked ahead. He reached out and pushed open the half-closed door to the backyard. "Then you two gentlemen, please follow me this way."

When he led Yan Yun and the others into the house, there was no oil lamp, so they were groping in the dark.

The person standing next to Yan Yun said to him, "Just ask whatever you want to ask."

Just as Yan Yun was about to speak, he leaned closer to Yan Yun and reminded him, "Make your voice a little hoarse, so that no one can recognize your voice."

Yan Yun hadn't thought of that. She looked at the other person but couldn't make out their features. She tried touching her neck and asked the waiter a question.

"Who is that man on horseback outside Fumanlou today?"

"Sir, there are at least a hundred people riding by every day. If you ask this question, I don't know which one you are referring to. Please tell me more clearly."

"The person who dared to lay a hand on that woman in public."

When the waiter heard that this was what the questioner wanted to ask, he immediately understood.

"The young master on horseback today is Shi Yunjun, the only son of the Shi family, the magistrate of the Imperial Censorate. His father is now a high-ranking official close to the emperor, so naturally no one in the city dares to provoke him. As for the woman, she is just a farmer's daughter from the nearby area. Shi Yunjun took a liking to her and took her away. As for what he did, there's no need to say it; you, sir, naturally know."

With just a few light words, everything was made perfectly clear.

The waiter also explained why this happened: "The woman's father couldn't tell whether he wanted his daughter to rise to prominence or to seek justice, so he actually went to the residence of the scholar who was engaged to Shi Yunjun to demand justice. Unfortunately, he was kicked out and was even caught by Shi Yunjun outside the restaurant and beaten to death on the spot."

Yan Yun was somewhat surprised to hear the words "beaten to death on the spot" spoken so casually by the other party. "What did you say? Beaten to death?"

The waiter said, "Isn't he dead?"

Although Xiao Er was busy, he still went to check. "After the woman fainted, she was taken away by Young Master Shi. As for the old man, he was dragged away by the patrolling guards in the city, and no one knows where he was. Anyway, he died."

Yan Yun was furious. "Does that mean he can just beat someone to death in the street?"

The waiter naturally dared not laugh anymore, and his tone was no longer frivolous.

"Who would dare to offend the young master of the Shi family? Relying on his father's current position in the court, no one dares to disobey him."

What the waiter said is true.

How difficult it is for an insignificant ordinary citizen to seek justice.

Yan Yun clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.

The waiter didn't hear a response, so he took a look at the person in front of him by the moonlight.

Seeing that the person in front of him wasn't very tall, he prepared to take a closer look.

But he was hit in the eye again by a copper coin.

He groaned.

The people around Yan Yun warned him, "Keep your eyes closed, and don't look at things you shouldn't."

The waiter immediately lay down on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"My lord, my lord, I have told you everything I know. Please spare me."

He touched his eyes, worried that he might damage them for such a small amount of money.

He didn't dare to look up even after he reached up to touch his eyes.

"grown ups?"

He tried to speak several times, but received no response. He was also afraid and dared not look up.

He didn't look down until there was light in the sky and saw that no one was there. He then fell to the ground.

Yan Yun followed behind her master.

He kept looking back at Yan Yun, worried that she might not have kept up.

We're about to arrive at Zheng's Hospital.

He suddenly stopped, and Yan Yun bumped into his back. She immediately raised her hand and braced herself against his back.

He looked at Yan Yun and asked again.

"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"

Yan Yun replied, "I was thinking, does the death of an insignificant person simply mean they're dead? Even if they were murdered, no one would question it, right?"

Yan Yun's master thought for a moment and gave an answer: "There are naturally people in this world who want to know the truth, and they will naturally pursue the truth and bring those murderers to justice. However, if the other party has overwhelming power, people's lives are naturally as insignificant as grass. But if they want to do it, even if they are as insignificant as grass, they can still take a step that can shake the foundation."

He hesitated, not explaining everything.

“You are still young, and things are not as simple as you can understand them. One day, you will naturally understand, and I will tell you.”

"Can't you tell me now?"

"We've already wasted a lot of time today, we need to take you back first."

Yan Yun looked at him, "Since you don't want me to call you master, then please let me know your name, okay?"

This was an unexpected conversation.

"You want to know my name?"

"Yes."

"So what's your name?"

Yan Yun did not tell the truth, but said, "Zheng Ning'er."

The other party did not investigate further, after all, this was the girl he was looking for at the Zheng residence.

Jing said.

"May I call you by your name?"

"Do as you please."
