Qing Xuanzi's expression was somewhat grim: "The other party must have cast a spell on these items to prevent them from being destroyed."

"It's also my fault. I was afraid of hurting innocent people, so I didn't set up a strangulation formation."

"How can you be blamed for this? No one expected that the person who framed you was a cultivator."

By this time, the paper figures had buried the items, but instead of leaving, they entered Rong Jiaojiao's room and were then cut off by their owner.

Rong Jiaojiao frowned even more deeply: "Are they trying to add another charge of promoting feudal superstition? It seems they don't want us to have much time to react."

Qing Xuanzi nodded, his expression grave: "The other side is clearly well-prepared; we must go back and deal with them as soon as possible."

Zi Ling spared no effort in using her spiritual power to increase her speed to the maximum. In less than half an hour, they returned to the skies above the Rong family.

Qing Xuanzi quickly activated the Mirror Light Letter Warning Array. Beams of light shot out from the array plate, instantly enveloping the entire courtyard in a faint light curtain.

Just as the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, they remained hidden in the air, unnoticed by anyone.

Qing Xuanzi said, "I'll go and collect the things, and then we'll come in through the main gate."

After saying that, he flew down and landed in the Rong family's courtyard. He put away all the things and formations that shouldn't exist, and finally collected the image-recording talisman before returning to Zi Ling's back. A short while later, their figures appeared on the main road outside the military compound.

I hurried home, and by then it was already broad daylight, and everyone in the family compound was already up.

When Rong Jiaojiao arrived at her doorstep, she saw three military officers knocking on her door, with some clueless neighbors watching the commotion.

As soon as Rong Jiaojiao arrived at the door, Rong Lianhu opened it from the inside.

He looked around, wondering why Rong Jiaojiao had returned so quickly, but taking care of these three people was the priority.

Rong Lianhu greeted the three disciplinary inspection personnel: "What's going on here? Why are you at my house so early? Is there something you need?"

The leader of the three officers looked serious and took out a document, saying, "Comrade Rong Lianhu, we have received a report that your family is hiding contraband. We are now going to conduct a search in accordance with the law."

Upon hearing this, Rong Lianhu's face instantly turned ugly. Fu Ya's voice came from behind him: "That's impossible. How could our family be hiding contraband? You must have made a mistake."

But the officer ignored his explanation and said coldly, "Comrades, we hope you will cooperate with our work and not interfere with official business."

Before Rong Lianhu could say anything more, Rong Jiaojiao stepped out from behind him. She smiled at the officer and said, "Since you have a mission, please come in. There's nothing in our house that we're afraid of searching."

The officer glanced at Rong Jiaojiao and Qing Xuanzi, paused slightly, but quickly regained his serious expression and led his two subordinates into the Rong family home.

A crowd of onlookers followed behind, including military officers who lived near Rong's house.

Yan Hai and Rong Lianhu exchanged a glance, and the three of them followed them inside. They looked like they wanted to watch the excitement, but in reality, they were keeping a close eye on the people to prevent those with ill intentions from making any moves.

More and more people followed behind them. Some of them realized that something was wrong and immediately ran to find Brigade Commander Wei Guodong and the Chief of Staff.

Fu Ya watched all this with worry, and Rong Jiaojiao leaned closer to her and whispered, "Mom, don't worry, we've already taken everything away."

Fu Ya asked in disbelief, "Someone really framed us?"

Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "We've made progress on this matter. I'll handle it properly. Don't be afraid, Mom."

After hearing Rong Jiaojiao's words, Fu Ya felt a little more at ease, but her face still showed worry.

She held Rong Jiaojiao's hand tightly and whispered, "You must be careful. If someone really frames us, don't act rashly. You must find out the truth."

Rong Jiaojiao gently patted her mother's hand and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be careful. Besides, Master and Ziling are here, we'll be fine."

At this moment, the officer in charge, accompanied by two officers, entered the Rong family's courtyard.

They looked around carefully, searching for clues.

Rong Lianhu and Yan Hai followed closely behind them, watching their every move warily.

The officer suddenly stopped, his sharp gaze sweeping over the water vat in the corner of the yard. He said coldly, "Search carefully."

The two officers immediately took action. They first searched the yard carefully, but after searching twice, they found no suspicious traces.

He said to Rong Lianhu, "Comrade Rong, we need to search your room. Please cooperate."

Rong Lianhu nodded and personally led them to inspect the house.

At this moment, Wei Guodong and the chief of staff also arrived, accompanied by many people. Rong Jiaojiao saw Wei Jingqi and Xiang Ruyi among them.

Xiang Ruyi also saw Rong Jiaojiao and the others, and realized that the attempt to frame them today was doomed.

Turning her head, she saw Wei Jingqi looking at Rong Jiaojiao with some surprise, while Xiang Ruyi's eyes darkened.

She wasn't afraid at all that Rong Jiaojiao and the others would suspect her, since there was no evidence to prove that she did it.

Wei Guodong strode up to the officer and asked sternly, "Comrade, what are you doing? Who reported us?"

The officer paused slightly upon seeing Wei Guodong, but quickly regained his serious expression and said, "Brigadier Wei, we received a report that the Rong family possesses radios and books that receive foreign channels, and we are currently conducting a search. As for who made the report, that's classified information and cannot be disclosed."

In fact, he didn't know who reported him. He couldn't tell anyone that someone had knocked on his door before dawn and left a letter of complaint on his doorstep.

Wei Guodong frowned and said, "Have you found any evidence?"

The officer shook his head and said, "Not yet, but we must conduct a search."

Wei Guodong nodded and said, "Didn't you already search once? How much more do you need to search?"

The officer's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly straightened up and said, "Brigade Commander Wei, we are just following the rules. Since someone has reported this, we must investigate it thoroughly, otherwise we will not be able to explain it to our superiors."

"Fine, I'll see what you can find today!"

Although they were acting in accordance with regulations, the fact that they came to search without consulting them after receiving a report, as if they were already certain that something was there, made it hard for Wei Guodong not to suspect that someone had framed him.

Wei Guodong's words suddenly made the atmosphere tense.

The officer's expression changed slightly, but he still insisted, "Brigadier Wei, we are just following orders. Please understand."

The three searched carefully again but found nothing. They could only approach Rong Lianhu with embarrassed expressions and apologize, saying, "We're sorry, Commander Rong. We were forced to investigate after receiving a report. Now we've proven you're innocent. We'll go back and write a report to prove your innocence."
