At this time, Ouyang Chi's mansion was a very large courtyard, and Ying asked his men to come and check the whereabouts of Nangong Jing.
However, the design of this mansion was very well-organized, and it was not as quiet during the day as at night, so no one noticed it.
Several people dressed in ordinary people's clothes came to the corner gate of Ouyang Chi's mansion. They looked around first, and after making sure that no one was paying attention here, they climbed over the wall and entered.
The maids, old women and servants in the mansion usually act according to their master's wishes. Today is the Flower Goddess Festival, and the masters of the mansion have gone out to play, so these servants are let loose.
Three or two old women and maids gathered in the room, playing cards and drinking, having a great time.
Even when a few people climbed over the wall and entered from the corner gate just now, no one noticed.
On weekdays, there are people guarding each corner gate.
There were a lot of people gathered around the lantern riddle game, everyone was racking their brains to think about what to do next, but no one had guessed it yet.

"A few of you go to Ouyang Chi's mansion again, and the rest of you follow me to chase Princess Duan. There are lanterns in Baihuzhou tonight, which is a great opportunity!"
Not to mention guessing the meaning of this riddle.
"Look carefully, they are all strangers. They seem to be looking for someone in the mansion. They left after more than half an hour!"
Eleven didn't take any action because he wanted to see what they were going to do.
After searching for a while, no trace of Nangong Jing was found, and even the owner of this mansion, Ouyang Chi, was not found.
Because they were going out to see the lanterns at night, Lin Jiuxi didn't let Ah Wu follow him, but asked four people to protect the people in Bao's mansion.
Ying received the news that his men had gone to Ouyang Chi's mansion and found nothing. He only knew that Lin Jiuxi was the only one living in Ouyang Chi's mansion.
Moreover, there was another person who had been secretly monitoring outside Ouyang Chi's house. He just reported: "Princess Duan left the house with a maid!"
The remaining five people went straight to the bustling street market.
This information was not important, but it made them more certain that there was only Lin Jiuxi in the mansion and no one else.
Lin Jiuxi went out to play with Lancao.
Lin Jiuxi pulled Lan Cao to the front and pointed at a beautiful lantern and asked, "Boss, are you selling this lantern?"
Lin Jiuxi paused and said, "Who is it? Did you see it clearly?" When Lin Jiuxi went out just now, only Ah Wu followed him, and the other three stayed in the mansion.
In short, the scene at night is definitely not more deserted than during the day.
The streets at night are more interesting than during the day. Many people hold lanterns of various kinds, and it is very lively.
He did not act rashly. He waited for these people to go out and then quietly followed them. Unfortunately, these people were also very powerful. After leaving the mansion, they directly blended into the crowd, dispersed and disappeared.
Is it a scout?
"Okay, okay, I'll make two lanterns when I get home, and we'll come out in the evening!"
Eleven followed all the way out and found that there were not only one person who sneaked into the mansion, but several others.
The two of them were like little sisters. Lan Cao felt at ease in front of Lin Jiuxi, which was much more comfortable than serving other people.
There was not a single servant to be found in the huge mansion, so several people took this opportunity to look around.
The princess is easy to talk to and very gentle...
The performance at the Flower God Temple was over at this time. When it was night, everyone would go to the lake to light lanterns and pray for blessings. Women usually prayed for a smooth marriage, while men rarely prayed, but there were a few who prayed for success in the imperial examinations...
"Princess, look over there, there are lantern riddles!"
Ying is planning to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Lin Jiuxi didn't know that he had been targeted. He was happily moving among the bustling crowd in the ancient night, walking and stopping as he went.
After returning home, Lin Jiuxi went straight to the study to look for the legend about the Flower God Festival in Baihu State, wanting to see if there was any book that recorded this kind of folk festival.
Lin Jiuxi was happy to hear this and said, "There's nothing here right now. Look at the people holding lanterns on the street. They're so boring. We might as well go back and eat first and come out in the evening!"
Lancao excitedly talked about how fun the Flower Goddess Festival was in previous years.
I have absolutely no idea what that means.
"Let's go and have a look!"
I kept observing secretly. They seemed to be looking for someone. I checked every room, especially where people lived.
Ying quickly thought of a plan in his mind.
"Yes, Princess!"
But I didn't expect that they neither stole any valuables from the mansion nor did they do anything out of line.
Could it be that there is a treasure in this mansion? Now Ouyang Chi is not here, and the only relative is Madam Ouyang, who is now 90 years old and spends her days eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, not caring about worldly affairs.
The eight men split into two groups. Those who had been to Ouyang Chi's mansion during the day now changed into night clothes and headed straight for the mansion.
Those people climbed over the wall from the corner gate and no one noticed them at first. It was only when they found this area that Eleven was the first to spot them. He was quite curious about who these people were.
Lin Jiuxi was a little confused? Ouyang Chi was the teacher of the late emperor, but he was honest. He said that this mansion was given by the late emperor, and even the current emperor did not dare to take it back.
Eleven searched the street for a long time but couldn't find any, so he had to return empty-handed.
"Girl, if you can guess the riddle, I'll give it to you. If you can't, you'll have to pay for it!"
She was flipping through books on the bookshelf when she saw Eleven come in with a serious look on his face.
Several people stayed in Ouyang Chi's mansion for more than half an hour before leaving.
I didn't notice they were there from beginning to end.
Lin Jiuxi is not very good at this, but thinking that he is a person who has received higher education after all, this puzzle probably won't be difficult for him.
"Since they are here to look for something, they will probably come again at night, so you guys should be careful."
Lin Jiuxi stuck out her tongue. Before she looked closely, she thought she could handle these puzzles. But just now, she just glanced at a puzzle on a lantern very close to her and immediately smacked her lips.
Tell Lin Jiuxi about this as soon as you come back.
"Princess, someone has been to the mansion!"
What are these people looking for in the mansion in broad daylight?
However, during the search process, I heard the servants talking about Lin Jiuxi.
What are they looking for?
"A stranger? Looking for something?"
That's why I asked the boss if he wanted to sell it.
Unfortunately, the boss refused to sell it, so Lin Jiuxi had to give up.
But Blue Grass felt it was a pity.
The two of them had just squeezed out from the riddle guessing area when Lin Jiuxi suddenly felt something was wrong.
There is a feeling of being watched.
