Yanzi Town was not far from Baoquan County, and Jiang Si and his group only took an hour or so to get there.

The town is bustling with people coming and going.

Yu Jin looked at the passers-by and said with a smile, "It seems that there are quite a lot of people who are thinking about the one hundred taels of silver."

Seeing that the town was more prosperous and lively than he had imagined, Jiang Zhan became interested: "I'll go find out what specialties there are here."

It is a great pleasure for Jiang Zhan to search for local delicacies and unique gadgets for his sister wherever he goes.

While Jiang Zhan was away, Yu Jin took a step closer to Jiang Si.

Ah Man noticed it with his sharp eyes, pinched his waist and glared, hoping that the lecher who coveted his girl would give up.

Yu Jin completely ignored Ah Man's presence and asked in a low voice, "Is the missing daughter of Mr. Shangchi from the town another victim?"

Jiang Si knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he nodded.

"Are you still planning on playing ghost?"

Jiang Si nodded again.

If she wanted to report the matter to the police, she couldn't bring the matter up in her normal capacity.

A stranger came up to you and said that your daughter was murdered by a powerful official in the capital, and you should report to the authorities immediately to seek justice for your daughter.

What? Evidence? There is no evidence. How do I know? Well, I can't say that.

Unless the other person is out of his mind, he will do so.

Of course, Mr. Chi's daughter was indeed missing, and he might be skeptical about it, but he had to face the nobles in the capital, and it was difficult for an ordinary person to have the courage to do so based on one-sided words from others.

The most appropriate approach is to use the illusion that Miss Chi appears in a dream.

From Miss Li's words, we can know that Miss Chi is lively and straightforward. A girl like this must have been brought up in a pampered manner, and she must have a father who loves her deeply.

"midnight?"

Jiang Si glanced at Yu Jian.

What else? Running over there in broad daylight would just be asking for trouble.

"Take me with you." Someone said righteously.

Jiang Si's face sank.

Yu Jin smiled and said, "Take me with you. I promise not to say a word of nonsense. If you want to kill someone, I'll hand you the knife. If you want to pretend to be a ghost, I can use a fan to blow away the evil wind. It's definitely more useful than your maid."

The little maid's pretty face twisted for a moment, and she immediately felt a deep crisis.

It's not easy to be a maid who pleases the master, but there are actually people competing for favor!

"What if I don't bring it?"

Yu Jin waved at Jiang Zhan who was buying some cold cakes not far away and said with a smile, "I'll tell your second brother."

Jiang Si: “…” She wants to kill this shameless guy!

"What do you think? Take me with you or tell your second brother?"

"Mr. Yu——" Jiang Si took a deep breath and remained calm.

"Well, you say."

"If you do this, I will hate you even more."

Yu Jin remained calm and said, "I'd rather you dislike me than take risks alone."

"It's called adventure when you are not sure—"

Yu Jin interrupted Jiang Si directly: "Nothing is absolute. Besides, even if you think there is absolutely no danger, I think it is not okay if there is."

Jiang Si opened his mouth, but was too angry to say anything. He simply turned his head away and ignored him.

"Second brother Jiang is back." Yu Jin reminded with a chuckle.

"You can follow me if you want."

Yu Jin couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you talking about? You're so happy?"

"Told Miss Jiang a joke."

Jiang Zhan, who was holding a cold cake, had a stern face.

She actually took advantage of the time when he bought cold cakes for her to make her happy. It was really hard to guard against!

"I have an even more interesting joke, second brother Jiang, listen to it too..." Yu Jin sighed silently as he racked his brains to think of a joke.

It's not easy for him to please both Ah Si and his future brother-in-law.

Yanzi Town is a town of neither size. Due to its convenient location, travelers from the north and south often stop here to rest. There are all kinds of shops including restaurants, teahouses, and inns. There is also a large lotus pond on the edge of the town, and now is the time when the green leaves cover the sky.

Jiang Zhan heard about this great place and wanted to take Jiang Si and Yu Jin with him.

Jiang Si had no choice but to agree to work with Yu Jin. It had already been agreed that Yu Jin would be the first to inquire about the situation at Mr. Chi's home, so Yu Jin found an excuse to reject Jiang Zhan's proposal.

Jiang Zhan was happy that Yu Jin stayed away from his sister, and excitedly took Jiang Si to go boating to admire the lotus. They left in high spirits and returned in high spirits. It was already dusk when they returned to the inn.

The square table by the window was filled with food. Yu Jin called the two of them over and said with a smile, "I thought you guys should be back by now. The food has just been served and is still hot."

Jiang Zhan saw a plate of braised pork on the table and his eyes lit up: "Brother Yu Qi finally understands my feelings."

Yu Jin smiled and handed the chopsticks to the two of them: "We are all tired today, let's rest early after eating. We can talk about where to go tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he took a piece of boiled chicken with chopsticks and placed it on the plate in front of Jiang Si: "Miss Jiang, try this."

Jiang Si raised his eyes and looked over, and saw the other person blinking.

Jiang Si picked up the boiled chicken and chewed it slowly, thinking: Is there any purpose for asking her to eat chicken?

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Ah Man was about to prepare bathing supplies, but Jiang Si stopped him and said, "Don't worry."

She thought about it and thought that Yu Jin's picking up a piece of boiled chicken for her must have a hidden meaning, which should be a hint for him to come to see her.

Rooster, he should be here soon.

Just as I thought of this, there was a light knock on the door.

Ah Man couldn't help but look at Jiang Si.

"Go open the door and let him in."

"Hey." Ah Man walked over quickly and opened the door.

Yu Jin flashed in swiftly.

"you--"

Ah Man was about to say something when a ginger-like voice came over: "Ah Man, please close the door."

Ah Man had no choice but to close the door and stare at Yu Jin's every move.

Yu Jin strode over to Jiang Si and sat down, telling him what he had learned: "I know where Mr. Chi lives. I have something interesting to tell you, which may be helpful to our actions."

"What's the matter?" Jiang seemed to be powerless to say anything about someone's familiar behavior.

"Master Chi goes out on business at this time every year and will not come back until the end of summer at the earliest. This time he came back so early not because the servants found the girl missing and sent him a message, but because he had nightmares one after another about his daughter crying for help. Master Chi felt uneasy, and finally ended his business early and rushed back, but he did not expect that his daughter was really missing. This matter is also bizarre, and it has now spread through the mouths of the servants of the Chi family."

Jiang Si listened silently and suddenly thought of his father.

Before she left, her father held her second brother's ear and gave him many instructions. The dried peaches and apricots that she bought from the little monk at Lingwu Temple were all prepared by her father for her.

"Maybe it's the connection between father and daughter." Jiang Si felt blocked in his heart.

Yu Jin smiled slightly: "Since Master Chi can rush back to see his daughter just because he had a nightmare, your matter is more certain. When do you plan to take action?"

"It's midnight."

"Okay then, I'll come find you then."

Seeing Yu Jin was about to leave, Jiang Si asked to verify his guess, "When we were eating, you gave me a piece of chicken. Did that mean we would meet at the hour of the twilight?"

Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just think boiled chicken tastes good."

Jiang Si: “…”
