The next day, Pei Liang and Sun Bin were waiting for Huilan in the small hall early in the morning. They had agreed yesterday to set up formations to strengthen the defense of the mansion today.

Huilan came out wearing a light red cross-collared Hu suit with narrow sleeves and a waist. "Let's go, let's set up the formation. Once the defense is done well, we can feel at ease."

"good."

Huilan took out the Five Elements Array. This is a large array with five array plates corresponding to different directions. Each array plate has a card slot. This card slot is for security spiritual stones, which supplies the formation's spiritual energy to circulate and regenerate.

Endless.

For the sake of caution, Huilan placed a top-quality spiritual stone in the card slot of each formation plate to ensure the supply of spiritual energy to the greatest extent. She must not save money on her own safety. This is experience gained with blood.

After all the Five Elements Spiritual Stones were secured, they were handed over to Sun Bin and Pei Liang, "Go wherever I tell you, and never take more than a few steps."

"yes."

The Five Elements Array must be placed in the five directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest. It requires five people to find the accurate position in advance, then bury it, and start it successfully.

Under Huilan's instructions, Sun Bin and Pei Liang buried the array disk with their own hands. Huilan's residence happened to be in the middle line of the yard, and the array eye was placed in her house, which was just right.

A set of complicated magic formulas were typed out continuously, and Huilan shouted, "Get up!"

Almost at the same time, lights of different colors lit up in five directions, converging into the Five Elements and Bagua pattern, enveloping the entire mansion. The light flashed away and disappeared without a trace.

Huilan chuckled and succeeded.

Sun Bin and Pei Liang were shocked to see her. Sun Bin nudged Pei Liang with his elbow, "Madam is so powerful. It's a blessing for you to be her partner."

Pei Liang also felt that he was very lucky this time and smiled proudly, "I think so too. Don't envy me. You don't have the same luck as me because you are not as good-looking as me."

Sun Bin glared at him angrily, turned around and walked away. This person is so annoying, you shouldn't talk to him. He's too annoying.

Pei Liang laughed loudly, and Sun Bin shook his head angrily, "Pei Xin is right, you are just a naughty kid who deserves a beating."

"You've got a hard bone. Do you want to be beaten?"

Pei Liang rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat Sun Bin, but Sun Bin ran away because he couldn't beat him.

"Hmph! You are jealous of me."

Pei Liang returned to the house proudly.

With the protection of the formation, Huilan felt more at ease and arranged three shifts of guards so that she could rest as much as possible and not feel sleepy.

Each person rotates every five days and can take two days off. The monthly salary given to them is also very generous. This part of the money is paid by Li Chengze, and the court will also give them a separate portion, so they can get double money.

The prince is here to make them work harder and to reward everyone for their hard work. Otherwise, why don't you stay in the comfortable capital and come here to suffer this pain with you? Don't everyone just want money and military glory.

Huilan did not wrong everyone, and her daily meals were very good, and there was always detoxification powder in the water. Everyone obeyed her orders, and no one had any objections. After walking all this way, she knew her ability.

After settling down, I started to study the medicinal materials here, and then compared and tested the medicinal properties one by one and recorded them. This will also be useful in the future.

I specially opened up a spiritual field in the space and planted some medicinal materials that I did not have. One is that it is very convenient to use, and the other is to observe the different medicinal properties of the medicine in each growth stage.

Huilan trains every day to test the properties of medicines, refine medicines, and record records. She lives a very fulfilling life. She goes to the market every three days. In addition to relaxing, she also investigates and understands all the information in Fengshan Town and summarizes it.

Which sect does the yamen here belong to, how many fixed merchant teams there are, who is the leader, how many people are in each team, how many years have they been working here, and what is their general character. There are also people who come from Fengshan Town every month

What is the amount of shipments and purchases, and approximately how much money is coming in and out.

In addition, how many households there are local residents here, how many old residents there are, how many newcomers there are, whether there are people from Nanzhao Kingdom, and who needs to be monitored. This information must be recorded in very detail.

Sun Bin and Pei Liang are mainly busy with these things. Huilan means that they should investigate on their own first, and then go to the Yamen to file and check to see if it is correct, what is the reason why it is not correct, and who told lies.

, people in the yamen should not be fully trusted either.

The other thing is to learn more about the Five Poison Sect. After coming here and asking around, Huilan learned that the Five Poison Sect is very powerful and has become the overlord that surpasses the government. The people are even more afraid of the Five Poison Sect surpassing the government. This is

It's cancerous.

In the past, the Five Poison Sect was indeed everyone's patron saint. It mainly healed the wounded and became an indispensable force against the Nanzhao Kingdom. They were more familiar with the mountains and forests. The mountains and forests were their homes where they grew up.

They were the first to notice any changes.

But now time has passed, things have changed, people have changed, the Five Poison Sect has changed, officials who serve the country loyally have been replaced from generation to generation, and people's hearts have also changed.

I don’t know when the Five Poison Sect became a feared existence by everyone. The government has nothing to do with them. They are slippery and know how to use poison. Without waiting for you to report the evidence, all the government’s own people are dead. What can you do?

Sending someone else over to re-familiarize themselves with the situation is a waste of time, and all evidence and clues have been wiped out.

The constant deaths of officials frightened everyone, and they all refused to come here. Those who had to come were passive and slow in their work, unwilling to cause trouble, and just wanted to be able to leave safely when their term was over. This contributed to the prestige of the Five Poisons Sect.

Without the power to curb them, the Five Poison Sect grew like the wind, and its mentality gradually became unbalanced. Its methods became more and more overbearing and inhumane. Even government officials dared to order and insult them, and the people did not dare to offend them.

This is also the reason why the emperor has been worried. Li Chengze took the initiative to ask for orders to come here. He actually had no idea, but after repeated observations, the other sons were unwilling to come here. While he was disappointed, he decided to give this opportunity to the prince. If he really has the ability to succeed,

To quell the chaos of Yunnan's internal and external troubles, it would be no harm to give him the power of General Xu.

Huilan didn't understand the military aspect and couldn't interfere, but she could still do it by collecting intelligence and useful information, summarizing it, and handing it over to Li Chengze.

There were letters from home and the palace. There was nothing major going on in the Ding family. My brother Ding Simiao told me about some reforms of the Ding family clan, which were progressing smoothly. When Ding Manxuan returned home three days after her marriage, she briefly talked about the situation. It seemed that she was verbally abused by her mother-in-law.

Warned.

But in the next month, her true colors were revealed. Her mother-in-law was furious and expressed dissatisfaction with her repeated mistakes. Her expectations for the marriage turned into regrets. If it weren't for the fact that she was cautious in serving her son, she would not have taken it lightly.
