Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

"Lots of folded paper today!"

Lin Mo didn't even look up.

"Oh! You've been quieter these past few days. Are you not feeling well?"

"tired?"

The female official, Liu, leaned forward and lowered her voice.

"What have you been busy with these past few days? You used to always go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden with them after work, but these past few days you've gone straight home after work and I haven't seen a soul around."

"Nothing. I just don't want to move."

"oh."

Lady Liu nodded and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, where is your hometown? I remember you said before that you came from the south?"

Lin Mo paused for a moment.

How would he know where Xiaozhu's hometown was? The other party only explained the work and habits, but not the hometown.

"From the south."

He gave a vague reply.

"Where in the south are you from? I have a relative in the south, maybe we know each other."

"It's a small place, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Lady Liu smiled, didn't press further, and changed the subject:

"By the way, do you know about the internal treasury? I heard a lot of things were stolen."

"You know, that thief is really audacious, daring to steal from the national treasury. Who do you think did it?"

"have no idea."

"I heard that Su Meiniang went to the national treasury before the theft. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Lin Mo looked up at her.

The smile on Lady Liu's face was still there, but the look in her eyes had changed, now carrying a probing sharpness.

He knew the other party suspected him and was testing him.

However, her strength is truly inadequate; she's only at the mid-stage of the God-King realm. He could easily manipulate her.

"Lord Liu, you've said so much, are you perhaps doubting me?"

Lin Mo put down the folding book in his hand, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

"No, not at all, we were just chatting!"

The female official waved her hand, but her gaze never left his face.

Lin Mo's lips curled into a cold smile.

The female official Liu immediately realized something was wrong and was about to get up and leave.

It felt like something suddenly entered my body.

Immediately afterwards, she felt as if her body was stepping on cotton, and her consciousness began to gradually fade.

After a moment, she regained her senses.

At this moment, the look in their eyes towards Lin Mo had changed from suspicion to respect!

"Owner."

The female official, Liu, spoke in a low voice.

"Who sent you to test me?"

"It is...it is Commander Zhao of the Imperial Guards."

She instructed several deputy stewards of the Directorate of Ceremonial to keep a close eye on their subordinates and report any suspicious activity.

"Besides you, who else is watching me?"

That's all!

Lady Wang is in charge of keeping an eye on the two maids next to you.

Lin Mo nodded:

"Go back and tell Lord Zhao that Xiaozhu is not suspicious and everything is normal."

"Yes, Master."

Lady Liu stood up, straightened her official robes, and her docile expression returned to its shrewdness. She turned and left the side hall of the Directorate of Ceremonial.

"If you bewitch everyone I'm in regular contact with, you should be able to fool them."

Lin Mo already had a plan in mind.

He leaned against the wall in the shadows near the entrance to the side hall, using his dark magic to conceal himself and wait for those who were returning.

The first to return was Lady Wang.

She hummed a little tune and walked briskly into the side hall, clearly in a good mood!

Lin Mo emerged from the shadows, unleashing a bewitching power that precisely penetrated her consciousness.

The female official paused for a moment, and the small bag she was carrying fell to the ground with a thud.

After a moment, she regained her composure and bowed to Lin Mo:

"Owner."

Lin Mo nodded:

"If anyone asks me, just say that Xiaozhu is perfectly fine and there's nothing suspicious about her, understand?"

"Yes, Master!!"

"You can still address me normally in front of outsiders. Go ahead and get busy!"

"OK."

Lady Wang sat down at her desk and began to work.

Lin Mo retreated back into the shadows and continued to wait.

The second to return was Cui Ling, the palace maid closest to her. Upon entering the room, she stretched.

"Ugh! I haven't had a proper rest yet, and I'm already busy again!"

Lin Mo emerged from the shadows once more, unleashing a bewitching power. Cui Ping's eyes widened in confusion for a moment before returning to calm.

And so, Lin Mo followed the same method. One by one, he bewitched every palace maid who worked with Xiao Zhu on a daily basis.

Lin Mo counted, and found that he had bewitched seven people in total.

Most of the people in the Directorate of Ceremonial who had dealings with Xiaozhu are here. The remaining few either don't work in the Directorate of Ceremonial or have little contact with Xiaozhu, so even if they are asked, they can't say anything of value.

He had just stood up to return to his seat when Lady Liu walked in from outside.

Her expression was much more natural than in the morning. She walked to his desk and whispered something:

"I've already replied to Lord Zhao, and she believed me and didn't ask any more questions."

"it is good."

The female official nodded and turned to leave.

Lin Mo sat back down and continued tidying up the folded paper.

The table was piled high with memorials about the theft of the imperial treasury, memorials from various palaces investigating the matter, and memorials from the Imperial Guards.

As he sorted through the documents, he kept an eye on the contents of the folded book. The Empress's order to investigate had been sent to all the palaces, but there were no useful clues yet.

The Imperial Guards haven't found anything yet.

When he finished get off work in the evening, he went back to Xiaozhu's place as usual.

He encountered several palace maids who were also leaving get off work on the way. Some of them greeted him, and he responded with a few words as usual.

He breathed a sigh of relief after entering the house and closing the door.

"Having bewitched seven people should be enough to fool them."

He sat on the edge of the bed, going over the events of the day in his mind.

Those in the Directorate of Ceremonial who had contact with him were basically all misled, and Lady Liu also replied that Xiaozhu was perfectly fine.

The Imperial Guards haven't been able to find the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs yet. Although the Empress has ordered a full palace investigation, she can't get to him anytime soon.

After confirming that everything was correct, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt that sitting there waiting for dawn was a waste of time.

He suddenly remembered the ginkgo tree next door.

Yinxing was also a palace maid in the Directorate of Ceremonial, but they didn't work in the same office. They would nod to each other when they met, and they weren't considered close.

But since I'm free anyway, I might as well scroll through the progress bar.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo stood up, went outside, and knocked on the door of the house next door.

"Ginkgo, are you asleep?"

"Clatter".

The other party opened the door.

Yinxing stood at the door, wearing a satin nightgown, her chest exposed, her hair loose over her shoulders, clearly just about to go to sleep.

She saw Lin Mo, paused for a moment, then smiled:

"What's wrong, Xiaozhu?"

"It's nothing. I'm just bored and wanted to chat with you, is that convenient?"

"It's convenient, please come in."

Although Ginkgo didn't know what Lin Mo was going to do, she still politely stepped aside to let him through the door.

Lin Mo walked into the house.

Yinxing's room was about the same size as his, with a bed and a table, on which were a few folded notebooks and a half-finished cup of tea.

Ginkgo closed the door and poured him a glass of water:

"Have a seat. Why are you talking to me so late instead of sleeping?"

Lin Mo took the water glass, took a sip, and casually asked:

Have you ever seen a man?

"Huh? A man?"

Ginkgo paused for a moment, then shook her head.

"No!"

"So, do you want a man?"

"What good will it do to want it? What good will it do to not want it? This is something we can't have."

Ginkgo covered her mouth and chuckled softly, exuding a captivating charm.

"What's wrong, Xiaozhu? Are you in heat?"

"Who says you can't have it? Look what good things I brought you."

Lin Mo stood up as he spoke.
