Chapter 58

When Ji Ming heard what Xiang Wenshu said, his heart tightened.

"What went wrong?" Could it be that Yin Fuzhang had escaped by trickery?

"It's just a small problem. We need Boss Ji to go with us." Xiang Wenshu pursed his lips nervously. "Boss Ji, you can bring your friends with you."

Ji Mingqing looked back at Xiaowan and said, "Then I'll go with him tomorrow. I have things to do today."

After hearing Ji Mingqing's words, Xiang Wenshu secretly glanced at Bai Cangze again. Seeing that Bai Cangze did not send him any message, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Lord did not criticize me for my poor performance.

"I'll send someone to pick you two up tomorrow morning." Xiang Wenshu said, and left as quickly as possible. Before leaving, he reminded, "Boss Ji, if you have evidence that can incriminate Yin Fuzhang, you can hand it over tomorrow."

Looking at the direction Xiang Wenshu left, Ji Mingqing frowned unconsciously, "I thought this time it would be foolproof." After all, even the Mind Reading Technique was used, which meant that the evidence was conclusive.

I don’t know what the problem is.

As if hearing Ji Mingqing's thoughts, Bai Cangze speculated, "Perhaps it's because there was no third party signing a notarized contract before using the Mind Reading Technique."

"This thing still needs a notarized contract!" Ji Mingqing was puzzled. "Can something obtained through the Mind Reading Technique be faked?"

"Of course not, but some people will lie and claim they are using the Mind Reading Technique, and tamper with it to hide the truth. So... I heard that this rule that the Lord has just established requires a third person to witness it."

Although the rules were made by him, he did overlook this point that day. He did not expect that Yin Fuzhang would find a loophole.

"Otherwise, we can just take Wu Qigu over tomorrow. He must be connected to Yin Fuzhang. Then, if the procedure is correct, we can just use the Mind Decision."

"That's not a bad idea." Bai Cangze agreed, "Then let's decide it this way."

"It's a pity that we didn't record the footage when Louzhe came over that day." Ji Mingqing looked regretful, but this also reminded him, "With such a large location, it's impossible to be on guard everywhere. Why don't we get a few recording stones to monitor any movement in real time? I don't believe you haven't sent other spies here these days."

Ji Mingqing's feeling was right. These days, Yin Fuzhang sent some spies over one after another, wanting to check Ji Mingqing's secret.

Some of them pretended to be diners, some tried to get close to Xu Yi and Cui Ding, and some even came directly to Ji Mingqing to ask questions, but Ji Mingqing didn't notice anything wrong at all.

Fortunately, Ji Mingqing also knew what to say and what not to say, so the other party often returned empty-handed.

"Those people who are trying to trick me should be investigated. They're giving me gifts and wanting to be my friend for no apparent reason. Do they think I'm stupid enough to be corrupted by sugar-coated bullets?"

Bai Cangze hadn't expected Ji Mingqing to be more perceptive than he'd imagined. He'd thought he was just lucky, but Ji Mingqing turned around and lectured Xiaowan, "Let me tell you, if someone shows kindness without any reason, they're either a traitor or a thief. If you're greedy for small gains, you'll suffer big losses. In the future, if someone gives you something for no reason, don't accept it. There might be some conspiracy behind it!"

Bai Cangze listened to Ji Mingqing's long and educational speech and suddenly found it a little funny. "Are you talking about yourself?"

"What?" Ji Mingqing didn't understand, but immediately realized what Xiaowan meant.

"I gave you delicious food for no reason because I liked you. You are noble and cute. You are the most beautiful kitten I have ever seen."

Who would refuse an opportunity to feed a kitten? Ji Mingqing started to flatter Xiaowan crazily.

"Okay, we have to think about how to deal with Yin Fuzhang tomorrow. I forgot to ask just now whether we should confront Yin Fuzhang face to face tomorrow." Ji Mingqing was worried. Although he gritted his teeth at what Yin Fuzhang had done, he was still a little nervous when he really faced him.

Bai Cangze understood the procedures of the Supervisory Office and consoled him, "No, the Supervisory Office will never allow the two parties to meet." After that, Bai Cangze raised his paw and patted Ji Mingqing's hand, "Instead of worrying about that, you should worry about what's happening outside your backyard wall."

"What happened outside the backyard wall?" Ji Mingqing was confused. He seldom went to the backyard, or even never went there. He didn't know what Xiaowan meant by mentioning this.

However, Ji Mingqing still followed Xiaowan's instructions and came out of the yard. It didn't matter what he saw, but after seeing it, Ji Mingqing couldn't help but take a breath.

"Where did this come from?" Ji Mingqing exclaimed, "Were there these things before the house was built?"

"Dongdong's uncle broke his bamboo dragonfly before." Bai Cangze reminded him, "Didn't you plant it casually?"

"I just planted it casually?" Ji Mingqing stared blankly at the dense new bamboo forest in front of him, opened his mouth, and then closed it without saying anything.

He remembered that Dongdong's uncle had cut down a large piece of bamboo and sent it to him as an apology. He picked up two small bamboo branches that looked malnourished but had intact root systems and planted them in the backyard. Then he completely forgot about it.

Now in front of him is a large lush bamboo forest. These bamboos are some tall, some short, some thick, some thin, and their shapes are almost the same, but what they have in common is that each bamboo grows very strong and looks full of vitality.

It was just that because of the species, the bamboo grew slowly, and the tallest one did not even reach the height of the back door wall, so Ji Mingqing had not noticed it before.

Ji Mingqing stood at the door in a daze. After a brief moment of surprise, he was filled with great joy.

"Oh my god! Xiaowan is surprised!" Ji Mingqing's eyes lit up with excitement. "Isn't it said that the production cycle of bamboo is long, not to mention that it is difficult to grow? Doesn't this look very difficult to grow?"

I heard Dongdong say before that his uncle was beaten by his mother because of this Jade Bamboo. It grows slowly and prefers cool and humid environment. A low temperature environment may have a profound impact on the growth of bamboo.

The bamboos his uncle cut were probably the jade bamboos that his mother had raised for a long time and carefully cared for for viewing.

Looking at the bamboo forest in front of him, Ji Mingqing suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Xiao Wan, logically speaking, this bamboo shouldn't grow so lush." ​​Ji Mingqing's voice became smaller and smaller, and the last word was even as loud as a mosquito.

He sat down on the ground and swallowed, "Should I not let others know about this kind of thing?" After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Xiaowan with a look of help.

Bai Cangze stood high up, looking down at him, and said expressionlessly, "It should be so. Did you just realize it?"

Of course, he hadn't just discovered it, but he had just realized how powerful he was. He had always thought that he was just a little bit better than ordinary people, and that he could make a small fortune with this ability.

But now he found that this ability was not just enough to make him a small profit, but was a treasure waiting to be dug. The sudden qualitative leap made him feel a little overwhelmed.

"What is this?" Ji Mingqing looked at the jade slip that fell into his arms, not knowing what Xiaowan meant by giving him this thing.

"This is a concealment formation. Once you've learned it, you can place it in a bamboo forest, or you can engrave it on a magical artifact to carry around and conceal your presence. It also has some protective properties, so learning it will be of great benefit to you."

Ji Mingqing blinked his eyes, and then he realized that Xiaowan gave him this jade slip to remind him to hide the bamboo forest.

"I'll learn now!" It was really hard to explain how this bamboo forest appeared out of nowhere, so he had to hide him as soon as possible.

Just now he was still worrying about how to hit Yin Fuzhang with one strike tomorrow, but now he has completely forgotten about it, and all his attention is focused on this jade slip.

Seeing that Ji Mingqing's attention had been successfully diverted, Bai Cangze took advantage of his inattention, found a corner, took out the fairy ring, contacted the head of the Supervisory Office, and asked what the problem was.

Xiang Wenshu was flattered when he received the news about the fairy ring from the Lord, and he quickly reported everything truthfully.

"Is it him? He took the initiative to find you?" Bai Cangze frowned more and more as he listened to the voice coming from the fairy ring.

"No, it was Yin Fuzhang who took the Danyang Order from Palace Master Lin, so we had to send Boss Ji on this trip."

"Send more people tomorrow and don't let Yin Fuzhang and Ji Mingqing meet."

"I obey your orders."
