Ye Shuang waited patiently until Li Wenyi held several court hearings and tried a few cases, some minor and some major. By noon, he had finished his official duties for the day and was slowly walking out, seemingly about to begin another day of patrolling the streets.
Yuwen Leng has already started tidying up the house. The house has been vacant for a long time, and all the houses are in disrepair and damaged. They all need to be tidied up. Even if it's just for show, it has to be done in a way that others can't see any flaws.
Bi Yu went to the vicinity of Ma Rencai's residence to observe the environment and see if there was any other way to follow him. Observing from a distance was far less safe than protecting him at close range.
Ye Shuang then used a spiritual technique to send a message to Mo Wu, saying that since they couldn't hold on for much longer, there was no need to continue. A half-demonized spirit beast was no match for a disciple of the Suantian Sect, so it would be better for him to come and help her.
As for Li Wenyi, it's not advisable to bump into him every day.
Three or four days passed in this way, until Yuwen Leng stepped into the yamen, and the brief peace was suddenly broken.
"You mean, there's a corpse in the house you bought?" Li Wenyi frowned. He had met Yuwen Leng before. Since it was him who came to the yamen, the place where the incident happened must be Miss Ye's house.
Upon thinking of this, Li Wenyi felt a pang of panic and got up to leave, saying, "Zhang Ma, Li Jiu, bring the boxes and come with me."
Upon hearing the magistrate's call, the two picked up their things and looked up, but he was already out of sight. They quickly ran after him.
"Sir, wait for us."
Seeing this, Yuwen Leng quickly followed behind them.
Ma Rencai originally intended to wait for news at the county government office, but seeing Li Wenyi's reaction, he became curious and followed behind them. However, he was not quite sure where the place was, so to avoid getting lost, he called out to Yuwen Leng, who was running at the back: "Wait for me, let's go together."
Yuwen Leng, unable to obtain what he desired, stopped and waited for the seemingly refined Ma Rencai.
The house was indeed not far from the county government office; Li Wenyi, who walked quickly, had already arrived.
Ye Shuang was waiting at the door. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person who came: "Brother Li, it's good that you're here. That was really scary."
Li Wenyi glanced at Ye Shuang from head to toe. Seeing that she was unharmed and seemed to have only been a little frightened, he breathed a sigh of relief. But when he saw the gate of the house, he couldn't help but frown: "Why did you buy this house?"
"Sigh, it's all my fault. I was only thinking that although this house looks a bit dilapidated, it would be cheaper to renovate than to buy a house of the same value." Ye Shuang was very frustrated as she led Li Wenyi inside. "How are we supposed to live here now?"
When Li Wenyi went inside, he discovered that the house was already half-finished. It wouldn't be easy to back out now. "It's alright. If you're really scared, we can have someone perform a couple of rituals later. Let's deal with the corpse first. Where is it?"
Ye Shuang led Li Wenyi further inside. The front yard of this courtyard was not large, but there was a very beautiful back garden. Although the garden was still overgrown, it still had the outline of a pond and a pavilion.
Beside the pavilion, there was an extremely beautiful well, with many patterns carved on it. The style of the well was also quite different from that of ordinary wells, clearly intended for visitors to admire.
Ye Shuang pointed at the well, somewhat frightened and hesitant to approach, and said, "It looked fine, so we were just about to clean it up one last time. I never expected to find a corpse inside today!"
