Jiang Si didn't get any useful information from Yu Jin, so finding Lingwu Temple and tofu beauty Xiu Niangzi became the top priority.

For the time being, they were waiting for news about Jiang Ancheng at Lingwu Temple. As for Tofu Xishi, many people knew her when Liu Di met her by chance, so it should be easier to find out more about her.

Since Ah Fei didn't come back, Jiang Si gave the task to Ah Man.

Ah Man is quite skilled in martial arts and looks almost unaffected in men's clothing, making him the most suitable candidate.

Jiang Si originally thought about asking Jiang Zhan for help, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

As much as I hate to admit it, the chances of my second brother making matters worse are higher.

Before dinner time, Ah Man brought back news about Tofu Beauty Xiu Niangzi.

"It's very easy to find out. I just asked a random kid and got the answer. Tofu Xishi lives in Wangjiazhuang, not far from Liudi. The house closest to the river at the end of the village is..." Ah Man chattered, with a bit of intention of making up for his mistakes.

I almost got the girl caught by the second young master. I feel so embarrassed just thinking about it.

"But, the child told me that Tofu Xishi has become a mad woman. She no longer sells tofu and hides at home crying all day long." At the end, Ah Man sighed with sympathy.

"Pack up, we're going to Wang's Village tonight."

"Girl?" Ah Man was slightly surprised, met Jiang Si's calm gaze, nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but felt a little excited in his heart.

That time, the girl took her to explore Moyou Lake at night, and this time she took her to explore Wangjiazhuang at night. As a maid, her life was really wonderful.

At dinner time, Jiang Ancheng also brought good news: "What a coincidence, your third uncle has really heard of Lingwu Temple."

Jiang Si had already expected to find out the news about Tofu Beauty Xiu Niangzi, but the news about Lingwu Temple was an unexpected surprise.

"Where is Lingwu Temple?"

"It's in Qingniu Town, a suburb of Beijing. Although it's not as famous as those temples in Beijing, it's still quite popular there." Jiang Ancheng laughed, "It's especially effective for praying for marriage and having children."

"Is that so?" Jiang Si hesitated for a moment, and took the opportunity to ask Jiang Ancheng, "My daughter wants to go to Lingwu Temple to burn incense and stay for a few days."

The suburbs of Beijing are different from the city. The round trip plus the time for investigation would take two or three days. She would not be able to make the trip without the support of her elders."

Jiang Ancheng nodded and agreed to his daughter's little request without any hesitation: "Go ahead. It's not too hot now, and the suburbs are brighter than the capital. It will be more comfortable to live there. I'll tell your second brother when I get back and ask him to go with you."

It's okay to relax, but safety cannot be ignored. If he wasn't afraid that his daughter would dislike him, he would have wanted to go with her.

Forget it. It would be troublesome for young people to go out and play with an old man like him.

The handsome uncle Mr. Jiang thought silently.

"When do you plan to go?"

"Just these two days, and arrange what to bring first." Jiang Si did not give a specific time.

If everything goes well with Tofu Xishi, we can visit Lingwu Temple the day after tomorrow at the latest. If not, we will have to find another time.

Night soon fell.

On a midsummer night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the shadows of flowers were floating. Ah Qiao sent Jiang Si and Ah Man to the door and whispered, "Be careful, young lady."

"Don't worry, I'm here." Ah Man patted his chest to assure.

During the second night operation, the master and servant left the Dongping Marquis' Mansion with ease and headed towards the Jinshui River.

At this time, the Jinshui River was bustling.

The wide river was filled with boats.

There are three-story painted boats decorated with colorful lights and splendor, as well as cruise ships carrying big red lanterns that flexibly shuttle across the river.

These pleasure boats and pleasure barges were inhabited by famous prostitutes of all sizes in the capital, and this was a perfect time of year to welcome patrons with the beautiful scenery.

The Jinshui River never sleeps, and this is the magnificent scene.

Ah Man looked into the distance and saw green willows swaying on both sides of the river, shadows of boats everywhere in the river, bright lights falling on the water like countless pieces of gold, and faint music coming in the wind, as if it were a fairyland on earth.

"I didn't expect that the Jinshui River, which was calm during the day, would be so lively at night." Ah Man sighed, and then noticed that Jiang seemed to be standing still, so he asked, "Girl, why don't you leave?"

Wangjiazhuang was not far from Liudi, but the two did not need to get close to the Jinshui River.

Jiang Siyao looked at the willow embankment and the golden river, feeling a dull pain in his heart.

My second brother drowned in this Jinshui River.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Si smiled at Ah Man and said, "Let's go."

Under the guidance of Ah Man, the master and servant came to Wangjiazhuang.

"Girl, Tofu Xishi's house is just over there. Should we go through the village or go around there?"

Looking at the dark village without any lights, Jiang Si made a decision: "Let's go around it."

Ordinary people would turn off the lights and go to bed early because they are worried about spending money on gas, but passing through the village still brings many unknown dangers.

The night wind was blowing and the sounds of frogs and insects were incessant. The master and servant had no lanterns and could only walk on the unfamiliar muddy road near the village by the moonlight and starlight.

"Girl, the house on the hillside is the home of Tofu Xishi."

Unlike many families who live in clusters, Tofu Xishi's house is built next to a hill and has no neighbors around it.

Jiang Si walked to the dilapidated gate of the courtyard and paused slightly.

She did not smell the unique sour and acrid smell emanating from the yard of a house where tofu was ground all year round.

Hidden in the thick night, Jiang Si's expression changed slightly.

If my guess is correct, this shouldn't be Tofu Xishi's house!

"Girl, shall we go in?" Ah Man didn't understand why Jiang Si was so slow to move, so he asked in a low voice.

Jiang Si shook his head and sighed, "Ah Man, you were fooled by that kid. This is not Tofu Xishi's home."

"Ah? Why do you say that, girl?"

Jiang Si was silent. She was thinking whether to find Tofu Xishi's house in the completely unfamiliar village in the dark, or to go back first and ask around tomorrow.

Intellectually speaking, it would be a wise choice to go back now, but emotionally, I am unwilling to come back empty-handed after having come all this way.

Moreover, if we delay here for a day, Lingwu Temple will also be delayed. If we delay for another day, it is very likely that a new girl will be killed.

Jiang Si had a bad suspicion about the Prince of Changxing.

From the conversation between the two servants, we can know that seven or eight girls were harmed by the prince of Changxing in the past two years, but the time between the disappearance of Tofu Xishi's daughter and the girl who was just murdered was very short.

This shows that the Prince of Changxing is becoming more and more perverted, and the intervals between him harming girls are likely to become shorter and shorter.

Of course, this may be due to the fact that her appearance in the Changxing Marquis' Mansion irritated the Changxing Marquis's son.

That is why Jiang Si felt that time was running out.

While Jiang Si was struggling, the dilapidated courtyard gate not far away suddenly opened.

Ah Man was startled and quickly pulled Jiang Si to the side.

A man walked out of the yard and stopped at the door.

Jiang Si's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The man was holding a kitchen knife!
