As soon as the man said this, even the wind blowing into the yard became cooler.

Ah Fei touched his chin subconsciously, and suddenly felt that he was very lucky to be able to enter Beijing safely.

How could someone make such a light statement about the ability to kill people?

"I'm good at killing people." Hanzi looked at Jiang Si and emphasized again.

Ah Man stepped forward and scolded, "You are such a weird person. Is it appropriate for you to mention killing people in front of our girl?"

Even though these girls dare to stab men in the buttocks without batting an eyelid, they cannot let outsiders know.

Hanzi ignored Ah Man's words and continued to look at Jiang Si.

Years of drinking had not made him completely confused, but he believed that a girl who came from hundreds of miles away and sent him a letter like that was different from ordinary girls.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble General Qin from now on." Jiang Si bent his knees slightly.

The man seemed to be relieved: "Girl, just call me Lao Qin. 'General Qin' is just a joke."

"Lao Qin, you will live here from now on. Ah Fei, what are your plans?"

Ah Fei looked around.

The clean and tidy courtyard, with lush treetops providing shade in the summer and water lilies planted in a water tank at the door, was the best place he had ever lived in in his life.

A trace of struggle flashed across Ah Fei's eyes, and then he smiled and waved his hand: "I'd better live where I was before. I'll tell you, I have a few brothers hanging around with me now, it's very convenient to let them run errands and get some information, I just need to come here once a day."

"Okay, I'm going to go out tomorrow, you and Lao Qin should get ready."

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

The bright sunshine gave everything a golden hue. There was not a single cloud in the sky. Looking up, I saw the azure blue sky. It was perfect weather for going out.

Jiang Zhan sat upright on his horse, his moon-white brocade robe making him look even more handsome, attracting the attention of countless young ladies.

He was used to these looks and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He turned his head and smiled at the girl in the carriage with his neat white teeth: "Fourth sister, the weather is good today. When we get to the suburbs and no one is watching, I will take you for a ride."

Ah Man poked his head out and said unhappily, "Second Master, the girl doesn't know how to ride a horse. Besides, it's not appropriate for her to ride with you. Please stop pushing her."

Jiang Zhan curled his lips.

I don't know which well-fed people came up with these pedantic ideas, but they are just designed to make women feel as unhappy as possible.

"Fourth sister, you'd better control your maid. She dares to talk to me like that." Young Master Jiang was unhappy that he couldn't take his sister for a ride, so he immediately dragged the hateful maid into the trouble.

"What the maid said is the truth——"

Jiang Si flicked Ah Man's forehead with his fingers and said angrily, "Don't talk back to the Second Young Master."

Jiang Zhan glanced at Ah Man lightly with a smug look on his face.

At the critical moment, the fourth sister still stood by him.

Ah Man covered his forehead and rolled his eyes.

The Second Young Master actually competed for favor with a maid like her. He is really ambitious.

The coachman wore a sunshade hat and drove the carriage steadily all the way from the city to the suburbs.

Sitting next to the driver was Jiang Zhan's servant Aji.

Aji had been secretly looking at the driver beside him for a long time, wondering in his heart: When did the driver of the Bo's Mansion change?

The driver stared straight ahead without changing his expression, ignoring Aji's curious look.

The driver was Lao Qin.

"Fourth sister, why do you want to go to a temple in a small town? There are many temples of all sizes in our capital." Jiang Zhan was a chatterbox in front of his sister. He started talking again after being silent for a while.

"It is said that the temple is very effective." Jiang Si handed out a handkerchief, "Brother, wipe your sweat."

Jiang Zhan didn't answer: "No, it will come out anyway, Fourth Sister, please get me a pear."

Jiang Zhan took a bite of the round pear, which was juicy and he breathed a sigh of comfort.

It’s good to have a younger sister. She can go out to burn incense for no reason and he can skip school for several days without any problem.

Qingniu Town was not too far from the capital, and the group arrived at the town when it was getting dark.

There were only two inns in the town, which seemed uninhabitable to Mr. Jiang, who was used to the prosperity of the capital.

"Fourth sister, let's go directly to Lingwu Temple."

"It's already this late, maybe they won't entertain pilgrims anymore, so let's go there early tomorrow morning."

"Well, I'm sorry to have wronged my sister." Jiang Zhan booked a larger inn and was busy for a while before he could take a break.

This kind of inn has many loopholes. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, a young man sneaked in and met Jiang Si who had been waiting there.

"Miss, I asked around a bit, but I haven't heard of anyone in this town losing a daughter."

The young man was none other than Ah Fei, who had arrived a day earlier at Jiang Si's instruction and stayed in another inn.

Jiang Si was depressed by Ah Fei's failure.

In a town like this, if someone loses a daughter, even if they lose two chickens, people will probably talk about it for a while.

Ah Fei didn't get any information, so he could only explain one thing: the girl was not from Qingniu Town.

Lingwu Temple is located in Qingniu Town. If the girl is not from this town, the scope would be much larger.

"How about this, you continue to inquire in the town tomorrow, and when I go to Lingwu Temple, I will have Lao Qin pass on any news to you."

Ah Fei nodded, and left quietly without asking any more questions.

Jiang Si sat alone for a while, then tired from the long journey came over him and he lay down quietly and fell asleep.

The weather was still good the next day.

The group arrived at Lingwu Temple and unexpectedly discovered that the small temple was actually very popular, with many pilgrims queuing to enter.

Jiang Si looked at the pilgrims carefully.

From their attire, we could tell that most of these pilgrims were common people. There were also pilgrims dressed in silk and satin who came in horse-drawn or ox-drawn carriages. Most likely, they had come from somewhere else.

Jiang Zhan added a lot of money for incense offerings, and the monk in charge of reception readily arranged three guest rooms for him.

The person who led the group was a young monk of about seven or eight years old. Jiang Si asked him, "Young master, where are there more people who come to burn incense?"

The little nun got the silk candy and saw that Jiang seemed very friendly. She said eloquently, "A lot of people come. In addition to people from Qingniu Town, people from all over the country come."

"Are there any wives of rich and powerful people who come here often? If I run into one, it would be a good opportunity for them to keep me company."

"Yes, the daughter of Mr. Yan from Yanzhuang Village, the women from Mr. Li's family in Dayang Town..." The little sister counted out a string of names with her fingers and smiled sweetly at Jiang Si, "There are quite a few women from these families in the past year."

Jiang Si silently memorized these names.

The little nun stopped and said, "Dear donors, we have arrived at the guest rooms."

Jiang Zhan pointed to the guest room at the back: "That room has the best view outside the window and is the most quiet. Can my sister stay there?"

The little nun shook her head and said, "There is already a donor living there."

Jiang Zhan couldn't help but frown.

It's such a small temple and there are only a few guest rooms, but they are surprisingly popular.

Who is so blind as to snatch the best guest room?

Just as Mr. Jiang Er was thinking about it, the door of the guest room was suddenly pushed open.
