C28

All the lights in Jinan City had been extinguished, and the sound of owls came from the forest. The dark streets were empty, and the shadows of the trees were dancing on the ground. The sound of water gurgling could be heard from the quiet places, and from time to time, the sound of a carp flapping its tail could be heard from the pond. The world fell into a deep sleep.

A captivating red color appeared on the ground in the blink of an eye.

After a while, a thin woman's figure emerged from the ground under the hazy moonlight, as if the earth were a hollow cardboard box and she had accidentally entered it.

One of the woman's arms barely supported her on the ground as her body swayed. The other hand desperately lifted her high up in the air, randomly scratching a few times. A golden light flashed from her fingertips, and wisps of white smoke emitted from the woman's side.

A few small, round, yellow-brown goblins that looked like potatoes appeared. They squeaked as they circled around the woman and jumped up and down, reaching out their tender hands that were like bean sprouts to grab at her clothes. However, the woman in red was like a big white radish being pulled out by the small goblins with a "Pop ~" sound.

Phew …" It seemed that even without a spirit body, his power would not be as strong as it used to be. The woman panted for a moment, then laughed self-deprecatingly before raising her hand again. She lightly patted the heads of the little guys who were cheering and cheering around her with a face full of love and thanks. Then, with a face full of regret, I didn't bring you guys anything delicious today. Sorry … I thought it was a man lying there, but when I got closer, I saw it was a woman with a dust mark in her body.

The woman touched her arm fearfully. The defensive power of the Dust-Breaking Seal was too ferocious. I almost thought that half of my arm would be charred … Then she raised her face and smiled gently at the little guy who was staring at her. She said softly, "Don't worry about me. Go back."

With a few "puchi", the few goblins obediently disappeared in front of the woman.

The woman in red propped herself up on her knees. In the dense night, she slowly stood up. Her entire body was suffused with flickering white light, like a transparent cicada feather, slightly trembling in the cold wind.

Moonlight could easily penetrate her, and perhaps it was more appropriate to say that she was a shadow than a person.

Young Master Wen... Luo Niang really wants to see you.

Raising her head to look at the moon, she saw a row of transparent tears quietly sliding down her pretty lower jaw. The tears slowly seeped into her bright red dress, leaving deep and shallow marks as she moved along the needlework.

Next day

Chaxianyu woke up from her sleep in a daze, saliva flowing down her face. She realized that the sky had already brightened, and a big hole had been opened in the paper window of the room. The dazzling sunlight chased after him, and caused Chaxianyu, who was tightly wrapped in her quilt, to wake up.

She quickly got up and just as she jumped off the bed, her toes touched something warm. She looked down and was shocked by the man lying on the floor with his eyes closed. Young master?

Shier Hong frowned and mumbled to himself. Seemingly not having woken up yet, his jet-black eyelashes fluttered slightly, and both of his hands went into his sleeves. He only turned his body around, and there were no longer any movements.

Don't call out to him, he stayed up all night guarding you and the crowing didn't stop until last night.

Luo Rongji stood outside the room with his hands behind his back and closed his eyes to rest. After hearing the activity in the house, he opened his long thin eyes and walked in expressionlessly. This fact revealed the shocked expression on the girl's face as she spoke faintly. It seemed like that guy wouldn't be coming back for the time being. Take the letter you found last night and come out with me.

Ah! Isn't this Young Master Luo and Yu Er?

The two of them went downstairs side by side to the bustling and bustling inn's main hall. Wang Fu was busy scratching his abacus and sweating profusely, when he saw his master's friend come out, he quickly greeted enthusiastically. With the blessings of Yu Er's daughter, they had endured past the last day of the month without any deaths, and everyone was overjoyed … Eh? How come I don't see Master Xu?

Luo Rongji, on the other hand, went straight in with his gun in hand. He took out the letter he found in the pillowcase and showed it to Wang Fu, asking indifferently, Manager Wang, can you investigate a woman called Luo Niang on the registration page? In my opinion, this woman had a lot to do with the murder in the last wing.

After a while, he raised his head from a pile of scattered booklets and replied with a troubled expression. Master Luo, I have carefully checked the registration information of all the guests in the past six months … "There's no one called Nutjob...

Chaxianyu recalled the letter, her mind suddenly lit up, and she quickly suggested, that Master Wang, last year's Autumn Festival record, was it still preserved?

Hearing that, Wang Fu raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud, then said to Chaxianyu: Of course there is! The Autumn Festival is one of the biggest festivals in Jinan City! Legend has it that this day is the day when the royal mother of the western part of the South Sea descends to observe the order of the world. As the age approaches, and the Spring Festival begins, everyone will use their best momentum to welcome this day. On the other side of the street, the bridge over the river was filled with men and women waiting at night to watch the fireworks … The business at Wanhua Inn had always been very good on the day of the Autumn Festival! Ah, Yu Er girl, please wait for a moment. Wang Fu will look for the record right now …

Yu Er, why didn't you wake me up? Shier Hong suddenly appeared behind Chaxianyu, looking drowsy as he lazily rested his chin on the girl's head. His white robe was loose, and his black hair was casually scattered.

Chaxianyu could only roll her eyes, she was indignant, had her hands on her waist, and struggled out of Shier Hong's embrace. Yu Er still wants to ask you! Why didn't you wake me up when you were sleepy? You slept on the floor by yourself... What if she caught a cold? What if I don't sleep well and smash you? Don't think I'll serve you... Humph!

Shier Hong's eyes suddenly lit up.

He pursed his lips and laughed, his eyebrows curved and eyes bright, he lowered his long hair and bent down to look for Chaxianyu's hands, begging for mercy in his mouth, yes yes, Yu Er's teachings were true, I will not offend you again.

Just then, Wang Futeng ran over quickly. He gasped for breath as he raised a dense piece of paper in his hand. "Miss Yu Er!" Found it!

Luo Rongji quickly stepped forward to grab the long arm, he neatly opened up the record, and quickly read through the ten lines. Suddenly, after reading through the date, his gaze paused for a few seconds.

He turned around and walked towards Chaxianyu who was standing next to Shier Hong. Pointing to a row of small words, he said in a low and deep voice: Last year's Autumn Festival, the last room's guest was surnamed Wen. Looking at this record, he had probably booked a room one month earlier, and had entered with two people.

Maybe this letter was written by him to the Luo Niang, the two of them had agreed to meet at this place during the Autumn Festival, and because of some reasons, the Luo Niang wrote this letter.

At this time, Wang Fu curiously looked at the place where Luo Rongji was pointing at, and rubbed his bald and round head as he talked to himself, Oh, so it was this Young Master Wen … Isn't this the famous Young Master Wen from Jin An City?

Chaxianyu's eyes lit up, she grabbed onto the shopkeeper's sleeve and excitedly shook it, her mouth was asking questions non-stop, Shopkeeper Wang, you know this Young Noble?! Anything more specific about him? Can you tell me all about it?

Wang Fu looked left and right, all the people around him were busying themselves, looking up ahead, Shier Hong and Luo Rongji both had expressions that said they were willing to hear the details, they couldn't help but raise their hands to touch their chins, he squinted his eyes to think, with a serious expression, he replied, this brat is famous for his filial piety, he lost his father when he was young, and his mother was in bed with a strange illness, his days were very bitter, in order to treat his mother, even high school's High Scholar had given up on rushing to take the exam, while begging everyone in the private school to buy medicine for his mother.

Chaxianyu and Shier Hong looked at each other, but did not speak. Chaxianyu felt that according to Wang Fu's description, this Young Master Wen was a good person who had no place to be suspicious of … Suddenly, Wang Fu changed the topic of conversation, sighed and continued.

Such a good boy, I don't know what happened to him, but I heard that he left the private school a long time ago and didn't teach anymore. Now … He started to sell the thousand-year-old ginseng.

Thousand Years... Ginseng? Chaxianyu tilted her head, a little confused.

Luo Rongji glanced at her, nodded, and slowly added, There are three medicinal herbs in the human world, and due to their unique and expensive medicinal effects, they are called "immortal medicine" by the people because they rarely come across them.

They were the Flesh Ganoderma, Ginseng, and Ginseng that had lived for a thousand years. Among them, the thousand-year-old ginseng was the most precious of the immortal medicines and was known as the "King of Medicine".

Shier Hong facepalmed as he sat down lazily beside the tea table, sighing to himself. Although he had read a lot of poetry and was ranked on the list, he was still unable to resist this kind of superstitious activity … Only one thousand year old ginseng would mature in one thousand years. The continent of Mist only existed for four thousand years, and the founding of the Hong Huang Kingdom was only two thousand years old … In any case, I don't believe that he is selling genuine thousand year ginseng.

Sigh, Master Xu's words are wrong. Unexpectedly, Wang Fu actually clasped his hands respectfully, and bowed to Shier Hong who was seated on the chair, then raised his head and spoke slowly.

Lord Xu did not know that Young Master Wen had really found a thousand year old ginseng.

It was said that his mother, who had been bedridden for more than twenty years, had completely recovered within two days after taking the ginseng tea brewed from his tea. It was said that his mother, who had been bedridden for more than twenty years, had taken the ginseng tea brewing from him, and within two days, she had completely recovered. In order to get a share of the 1000-year-old ginseng's medicinal soup.

This one gram of ginseng from Young Master Wen started with a price of one million gold. After consuming it, no matter how difficult the disease was, it would immediately be cured.

Currently, he was already a well-known merchant, Young Master Jia, in Jinan City. He had long since moved with his mother to a well-known manor in the southern part of the city.
