No taboos

Chapter 289 Princess (asking for monthly ticket)

"Yinger!"

Ji Huaixuan happily opened the door and welcomed the female ghost in.

The female ghost has a beautiful face, especially her eyes, which seem to be always covered with a layer of mist. When she looks at people, it seems that you can understand all her thoughts without her saying a word.

Her facial features still have the characteristics of the Jiaozhi natives, but she has perfectly avoided all the shortcomings of the local natives.

What makes her different from the women in Zhengzhou is that she has a special kind of beauty.

"Xuan Lang." The ghost girl's voice was like tears and pleading: "As soon as I received the news, I rushed to see you immediately."

She gently stroked Ji Huaixuan's face with her snow-white hands, her eyes full of heartache: "Xuanlang has suffered."

After a few words, Ji Huaixuan was surrounded by happiness.

He looked at the ghost girl lovingly: "It wasn't hard. I was only locked up for a few days. They didn't torture me. All the methods we used before to deal with the soul-searching methods were not used."

The ghost girl turned around and snuggled into Ji Huaixuan's arms: "This is my Xuanlang's great fortune. After a while, I will be able to turn from Yin to Yang. We will be together day and night, and we will never be apart!"

Ji Huaixuan was very excited: "Great! This adventure is worth it!"

The man and the ghost rubbed their ears together for a while, and then said goodbye reluctantly.

After Ji Huaixuan sent the female ghost away, he decided not to go back and went to sleep in the warehouse.

He used to work night shifts in the warehouse, and there was a place to rest here.

Xu Yuan frowned secretly: Their so-called means of dealing with soul-searching are probably not safe, so Ji Huaixuan is afraid of soul-searching.

I guessed that this guy was hiding some secret, but I didn't expect it to be such a big thing.

The princess is very resourceful. She has tamed Ji Huaixuan like a well-behaved puppy.

But... is Ji Huaixuan really so lucky?

The three nightmare tapirs happened to be committing a crime in the city, and then headed straight for the warehouse of the Canal Yamen.

In fact, both sides were covering for each other.

Pilong was still in the water. Xu Yuan hesitated for a long time, but finally restrained himself from letting Pilong follow the female ghost.

The Corpse Bird said that the princess's strength suddenly declined, but after all, the princess had once dominated the Wild Boar Fang.

Don't take the risk.

Xu Yuan extended the animal tendon rope again, took the leather dragon back, and took a nap before dawn.

When I woke up the next morning, everything in the inn was normal.

After breakfast, everyone paid and left the hotel.

The boss accepted the full amount of silver with a clear conscience.

It was as if he had not secretly "helped" anyone last night by allowing the people from the Canal Office to search Mr. Xu's goods.

Xu Yuan didn't say anything either.

But after they left, the shop owner asked the waiters to clean the house.

As soon as the door opened, a flock of corpse birds flew out with a whoosh!

The waiters were so scared that they ran away with their heads in their hands.

The boss heard the scream and rushed out to check: "What happened..."

A flock of corpse birds chirped and swooped over.

The boss was quite capable, but there were too many corpse birds. They swarmed over him and pecked him all over, leaving bloody holes all over his body.

When he wasn't paying attention, a sneaky corpse bird suddenly rushed up and pecked out one of his eyeballs!
"what--"

The boss covered his face and screamed, and the other guards in the store finally rushed over.

The corpse birds scattered and flew up with a bang, then flew towards Xiaoyu Mountain together.

The guards shouted and pretended to chase for more than ten miles, but their efforts were in vain and they returned empty-handed.

The boss lost an eye and was covered in wounds, looking extremely miserable... but he felt guilty and didn't dare to chase Xu Yuan and the others.

Lord Xu had already crossed the river by this time.

After entering the city, he separated from Miao Yu and others and returned to his own yamen.

The South City Patrol Office immediately became bustling with activity. Xu Yuan then ordered, "Pick out some of those materials and sell them. With the money we earn, we can build a warehouse."

In fact, the most important arrangement for a special warehouse like the one at the freight station last night is to have a powerful "mascot" to suppress it.

There is a ready-made auspicious object in the South City Patrol Office.

It wouldn't cost too much to build a warehouse with this.

Xu Yuan handed this matter over to Jia Yi and Lang Xiaoba. Then Lord Xu went to find Zhang Laoya.

Aunt Wang whispered, "That old guy went out early in the morning."

Xu Yuan nodded.

Yesterday, daytime dreaming was forbidden, and the dream tapirs did not dare to go out, but they and Zhang Laoya were actually secretly anxious, so today "night walking", "cutting wood", "asking for divination", and "talking a lot" were forbidden. The dream tapirs were able to move freely, so they went to investigate anxiously again.

At noon, Mr. Zhang came back.

Seeing Xu Yuan, he was surprised and asked, "You are back. Did you gain anything?"

Xu Yuan asked in return: "What did you find out?"

Zhang Lao Ya shook his head and said, "Nothing much was gained."

Xu Yuan then said, "We don't have any clues, but we did kill a bunch of evil spirits, so it's not a complete loss."

Zhang Laoya had already seen the mountains of materials piled up in the yard.

"Has Lord Wen Bin urged you recently?"

Zhang Lao Ya: "I keep urging them every day. Yesterday, they were forbidden from dreaming during the day. The three of them couldn't go out. Wen Bin rented a yard for them and let them hide in it."

Wen Bin didn't dare to let the three dream tapirs stay in the inn yesterday.

If something happened - that would be a big deal, there were many passing officials staying in the post house.

After investigation, the person was found to be Wen Bin.

He is a clean person, but he is colluding with evil spirits. No one can save him.

"Early this morning, Wen Bin took them back, questioned them carefully, and then urged them to go out and investigate."

Xu Yuan nodded, understanding what was going on.

After dinner, Mr. Zhang went out again.

Xu Yuan followed him out quietly.

Lord Xu changed his clothes and used Pidan to create a new look on his face.

Xu Yuan followed Zhang Lao Ya to the posthouse and watched Zhang Lao Ya meet the three women at the back door, then leave in a hurry.

But Xu Yuan did not follow.

Just guarding the door.

Not long after, another person came out pretending to be him.

Without any followers.

Although he was disguised, Xu Yuan still recognized him at a glance as Lord Wen Bin.

Xu Yuan followed him quietly.

Wen Bin wandered around the city aimlessly for a few times.

He looked behind him from time to time and found that Xu Yuan had avoided it.

Wen Bin felt that there was no one following him, so he went out of the city and arrived at a dilapidated temple about ten miles away.

Then he took out a notebook from his arms.

He wrote a few words on the letter and then waited quietly.

About a quarter of an hour later, a sound of wind was heard outside the temple.

"Wen Lang!"

Wen Bin stood up happily: "Ying'er, I miss you so much!"

Xu Yuan hid quietly outside the temple, looking coldly at everything inside through the broken window.

Lord Xu had doubts last night.

If we look at it from the perspective of the three nightmare tapirs, they were stealing the cocoon food, but someone got there first.

It can be explained as a coincidence.

But if you look at it from Ji Huaixuan's perspective, he was stealing from his employer, and as a result, someone robbed several wealthy businessmen in the city and wanted to steal the cocoon food.

It perfectly covered up Ji Huaixuan's behavior.

This cannot be explained by "coincidence".

It is more likely that someone is manipulating the three nightmare tapirs to cover up the person who actually stole the cocoon food.

Xu Yuan couldn't help but secretly shook his head: Zhang Laoya thought he was very shrewd, but he didn't expect that he and the Mengmos would be lured into a trap, right?
