"Is there anyone in the coffin?"

"There is really no one," Jiaotu said, "I opened the coffin and saw that there were no clothes or burials in the coffin. Mr. Liu is not dead. Perhaps he is still in the Liu family compound at this time."

The Liu family compound is located on Longmen Mountain in the south of Luocheng, covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres. People in Luocheng often joke that if a girl from an ordinary family marries into the Liu family's high walls and gray tiles, she will probably never be able to get out of the house and die of old age.

Jiaotu pulled off the old blindfold, and the three of them sat on the ground on the top of Zhuangyuan Mountain: "Tell me, what should we do now?"

Yunyang hesitated for a long time: "How dare the Liu family risk the disapproval of the world and put the old guy's fake death to put pressure on the Secret Service? Doesn't that mean that everyone in the Liu family is just like Liu Shiyu, and they are all collaborators with the enemy?"

Jiaotu raised his arms and tied his hair in a bun: "The Liu family has been running the Central Plains for a long time, controlling 80% of the land and officials. Even the court's collection of grain and taxes depends on their faces. For example, the Liu family, the Xu family, and the Hu family

, Families such as the Chen family, Qi family, and Yang family have long valued family interests higher than the country, so it is not uncommon for them to collaborate with the enemy."

"But His Majesty's Long Live Army is right next to Yuzhou, how dare they?" Yunyang was surprised.

Jiaotu pondered for a moment: "What if Prince Jing's palace has hooked up with the Liu family? I will send a letter later and pass the news to the Prime Minister. This matter is not something you and I can decide. We must mobilize troops!"

"Yes, immediately mobilize troops to surround the Liu family!"

Chen Ji interrupted: "Two adults..."

Yunyang's eyes lit up: "Why, do you have any new ideas? Come on, tell me, you have a lot of ideas!"

Chen Ji said: "I'd like to trouble you two adults to settle the remuneration. I haven't given you the 50 taels from Lord Jiaotu last time, so the total is 150 taels."

Jiaotu's face darkened: "I just know money, money, money."

Chen Ji was in urgent need of money now. He roughly estimated the ice flow in his body. He was afraid that he would have to use more than ten ginseng roots to solve it this time. There were still many ice flows in the inner prison of Luo City that had not been collected. I was afraid that this time it would be

It takes thousands of taels of silver to stop.

My own practice is too expensive!

He smiled and said: "Two adults, just finding out that there is no one in the coffin is already a great achievement. I think the minister will be very happy. Compared with this, one hundred taels of silver is worth it."

What?"

Jiaotu reluctantly took off a red sandalwood bracelet from his wrist and said, "Here, Buddhist Tongbao, you can go to Tuoluo Temple to get one hundred taels of silver."

Chen Ji was startled for a moment. He looked at the bracelet and saw that each bead was filled with densely packed words, which was dazzling.

"Can I withdraw money from this?" he asked curiously.

"Have you never seen the Buddhist Tongbao?" Jiaotu explained: "This bead is their Buddhist secret code. If you give it to their Xiangji Kitchen, someone will naturally give you money according to the secret code, and they can understand it."

Chen Ji became even more curious: "Then if I carve an identical bracelet myself, wouldn't I be able to exchange it for money?"

Jiaotu chuckled softly: "I advise you to give up on this idea. There are many people in the world who have ideas about Buddhism, but in the end they were all saved."

On the side, Yunyang took out five small silver ingots: "Here."

Chen Ji smiled sincerely and said: "Thank you for your patronage. I have been out for too long today. Please send me back first. As for how to deal with the Liu family's affairs, I am not able to participate."

His savings include two hundred taels of silver, zero, and one hundred and seventy-three copper coins.

Not counting the fifty taels of silver under the bed.

…

…

It wasn't until midnight that the carriage returned the traces to the gate of Taiping Medical Center.

Yun Yang and Jing Hao had just lost a sum of money, and even the joy of getting credit was diluted. They drove away without saying a word.

As the carriage drove away, dark clouds jumped into his arms from the roof of the carriage: "I have already memorized the location of the inner prison...ah, you are so cold."

"There are too many ice flows in the inner prison. Have you seen the path of cultivation of the White Rabbit?" Chen Ji walked towards the medical center with the copper coins in his left hand and the dark clouds in his right hand.

"I saw it, a Yin God came out from between her eyebrows, fierce!" Wu Yun said.

Chen Ji pushed open the door of the medical clinic, but the moment he pushed the door open, the ice stream arrived as promised.

This seems to be a special moment, and the dormant ice flow will always surge up at this time, never ending.

Chen Ru walked towards the medicine cabinet with difficulty. A medicine dealer came to the door this morning. The master should have replenished the medicine cabinet with new ginseng.

However, before he reached the medicine cabinet, he was already unable to move.

Chen Ji said with difficulty: "Dark clouds... ginseng."

In the hospital, Wu Yun jumped out of Chen Ji's arms, jumped onto the medicine cabinet with ease, opened the drawer, took the new ginseng and came back to touch Chen Ji.

With a tinkling sound, the ginseng turned into ten transparent beads that fell to the ground and bounced up. The dark clouds ran and danced after the beads and swallowed them one by one.

The molten flow fed back and instantly ignited the left Taiyi point and the right Taiyi point outside the Dantian!

Chen Ji leaned against the counter tiredly and touched Wu Yun's head: "Thank you."

Wuyun raised his head: "You don't have to say thank you to me in the future... What will your master do if he finds that the ginseng is missing?"

Chen Ji was in a dilemma: "I have to buy a new one to replace it quickly before Master notices it."

Wu Yun thought for a moment: "How about I beat that fat white cat again and settle the debt for you?"

Chen Ji was in awe: "...Good idea!"

At this time, Old Yao's dull voice came from behind him: "I asked you to deliver some medicine, but it was delivered from morning to night."

Chen Ji subconsciously turned around and blocked the medicine cabinet drawer behind him before he could close it: "Master? Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"

Not to mention Chen Ji, not even the dark clouds noticed the other party approaching!

Old man Yao stood in the main hall of the medical center with his hands behind his back, with a sarcastic look on his face: "You still know how to come back? What are you doing standing still? Come here!"

Chen Ji didn't dare to move because the medicine cabinet drawer behind him hadn't been closed yet!

Just as he was thinking quickly about how to deal with it, he saw Dark Cloud jump out of his arms, run to Old Man Yao and jump up.

Old Man Yao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to catch the dark cloud. The fluffy little black cat meowed in his hands and blinked its golden vertical pupils.

But Old Man Yao was silent for a long time, and finally he held Wuyun in his arms, touched its furry head, and sneered at Chen Ji: "It is much more sensible than you... Come on, Wuyun, grandpa will take you to have snacks."

Chen Ji: Huh?

When Wu Yun made a fuss, old man Yao actually forgot to reprimand himself.

When old man Yao turned around, Chen Ji quickly closed the medicine cabinet gently.

As soon as I closed it, I heard old man Yao's light voice: "What else are you hiding? Go buy one and fill it up for me tomorrow. Keep an eye on the account books. Don't miss out even a hair."

Chen Ji followed awkwardly to the backyard and changed the subject: "Master, where are the two senior brothers?"

Old man Yao said calmly: "She Dengke and his third brother are hosting a party for a wealthy family. She Dengke and Liu Quxing sneaked in to listen to the show and will come back tomorrow morning. I was going to take you with me, but you didn't come back."

He took out the purple wood box again from the house. There were snacks in the first drawer and candied fruits in the second drawer.

Wu Yun didn't eat for a whole day and his mouth was full.

Chen Ji just looked into the drawer and was glared at by Old Man Yao.

"If you want to eat, go to the kitchen and cook it yourself," Old Man Yao said coldly.

"oh."

Chen Ji took a multigrain pancake from the kitchen and asked while chewing: "Master, does the time of the third quarter of the ugly hour have any special meaning?"

Old Man Yao fed the snacks to Wu Yun while frowning and thinking: "The third hour of the ugly hour...is the hour when you were born."

"Huh?" Chen Ji was shocked. The ice stream always surged at this time. Was it because it was his birthday?

Strange, does the grand consciousness in the battlefield have to wait until the moment of his birth if he wants to seize him?

Chen Ji hesitated for a long time, and finally asked frankly: "Master, what is the official position?"

Old Man Yao glanced at him: "Why should I tell you? You can sell information for money, but you want to get free information from me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wuyun stopped eating snacks and just held his furry head against the palm of Old Yao's hand.

When Old Man Yao saw this, he immediately said angrily: "You look like a cute little thing, but you have so many evil intentions."

He said slowly: "Xingguan is the collective name for those who practice. There are many ways to practice, and they can do anything."

Chen Ji wondered: "Why don't the people know they exist?"

Old Man Yao touched Wu Yun's head and said: "It's just that most people don't know that most officials have to hide their cultivation methods, otherwise they will be coveted by people with the same path."

"Why?"

"Because the path that every cultivation path wants to pursue is like a bowl of water. There is only so much water in the bowl, and the more people share it, the less each person can drink. And if you want to walk on the final road to heaven, this

You need to drink the bowl of water alone, and one more person will not be able to share it."

Chen Ji was stunned, energy is conserved?

Only then did he realize why Yunyang said that there are only life and death on the road to spiritual practice. Under such a heavenly way, people who practice the same path are natural enemies.

Chen Ji calmly asked: "Master, are you a senior official..."

Old Man Yao smiled and actually waved to the sky, but he saw the sound of wings vibrating suddenly in the dark night, and a huge crow fell down!

Chen Ji suddenly stood up. It turned out that the crow belonged to the master!

When he was harassed by the ice flow, when he went to Liu Shiyu's house to investigate the case, the other party was there!

"Master, you know everything," Chen Ji said hesitantly.

"What if you know, so what if you don't know," Old Man Yao gently stroked the crow's wings, and the crow looked at Chen Ji and opened its mouth with a silent smile, as if mocking his ignorance of the world.

Master, this crow, is just as mean as Master.

At this time, the crow looked at the dark clouds that were showing off their rice, then at Old Man Yao, and made a rattling sound in his mouth.

Old Man Yao patiently said to it: "Let's get to know each other, this is a new friend."

The next second, Crow looked at Chen Ji and then at Old Man Yao.

Old Man Yao continued patiently: "This is not the case yet."

Chen Ji: "..."
