Ye Moxun's dark eyes flashed, and he did not deny it, giving an ambiguous answer, "I guess so. In short, I will definitely help you get your family property back."
"If that's the case, then I will give you the jade. Not only that, I will also give you gold and silver jewelry."
Ren Yufeng's eyes shone with an unprecedented light, as if he had been reborn.
“Alright, then we will return to Changye City tomorrow. Once things are resolved, we will send someone to inform you. Young Master Ren, please wait for good news.”
Ye Moxun remained calm throughout, as if everything was under his control.
After spending the night at the Shen family's house, Song Tantan and Ye Moxun immediately returned to Changye City. Before leaving, they bought wine, meat, and a lot of steamed buns for the boy with the pointed face and the girl with the round face.
"This is enough for you to eat for two days. Take this five taels of silver. Farewell, and we'll meet again." Song Tantan cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and rode off with Ye Moxun.
These two horses were bought in Huaming County, not the two they used to ride. As for Zhang Jiafei, they haven't done anything to him yet, nor have they handed him over to the authorities. Anyway, when they woke up this morning, they found that he had run away and was hiding somewhere.
Song Tantan was too lazy to look for him. Let him run away. He hadn't killed anyone, but he was just reluctant to help someone in distress, which was quite repulsive.
This time when they returned to Changye City, the two disguised themselves as a middle-aged couple, pretending to be small business owners. They carried two baskets on their horseback, filled with red dates and walnuts.
The gatekeeper found it strange, "Selling these things makes so much money, you can even afford horses?"
none of your business?
Song Tantan cursed inwardly, but smiled and said, "Besides running a small business, the family also owns several hundred acres of land. My grandfather was a wealthy man, so naturally he could afford to buy horses."
After a few words of arguing, the constables didn't make things difficult for the two men and let them into the city. Once inside, Song Tantan put the things on his horse into his spatial storage.
The two then sold the horse and went straight back to the inn where they had stayed. Why were they so brazen?
This was naturally because during the few days they were in Huaming County, Liu Shoubei had been dismissed from his post, his property confiscated, and he had been imprisoned.
That's right, Ye Moxun wrote a letter to Liu Chengyu, urging him to replace Liu Shoubei as soon as possible and not allow him to continue to harm the people of Changye City.
In fact, after the new prefect took office, he reported the situation here to the court, but the new emperor was too busy with many things and did not have time to deal with them. Liu Chengyu was also busy, and the military strength was already insufficient. Many problems remained in various prefectures and cities, and he could not take care of everything.
It dragged on until now, until Ye Moxun wrote a letter urging him to pay attention. Only then did Liu Chengyu begin to take Changye City seriously and immediately sent a message by carrier pigeon to an army that was about to pass through Changye City.
This army has only 10,000 men and was sent to the border to provide support and escort supplies. This is the second batch of supplies being escorted. Because they couldn't gather that much supplies in time, they had to send them to the border in batches.
When the lieutenant received the letter, he was still half a day's journey from Changye City. He then hurried to Changye City, captured Liu Shoubei, removed his official hat, and imprisoned him.
All the henchmen were also arrested and imprisoned. A new garrison commander is on his way to take up his post and will arrive soon.
Song Tantan was worried about the two horses, so she asked the innkeeper. The innkeeper wiped away his cold sweat and said, "They were taken away by Yan Chao's men. They brought a lot of soldiers to arrest you and almost turned the inn upside down."
You can ask the newly appointed garrison commander to get this back, right?
She tilted her head to look at Ye Moxun, "Ah Xun, we can't let someone take our horses for nothing."
"Of course not, we'll get it back tomorrow," Ye Moxun reassured him.
In the dead of night, Song Tantan, wearing a long white dress that trailed on the ground, her long hair flowing freely, and her face painted deathly white, drifted around the Ren family mansion.
Well, actually she was darting around the yard in roller skates. Because her long skirt covered her feet and it was dark, it looked like she was floating.
Walking in a skirt that's too long is dangerous, especially now that she's wearing roller skates. The ancient floor is uneven, making it really difficult for her. She almost fell flat on her face several times.
Fortunately, she had a good foundation in martial arts, so she didn't actually fall. It's really not easy to pretend to be a ghost. If only she had known to use a rope to float or to perform tightrope walking on a rope, it would definitely be more stable than wearing roller skates on a bumpy brick road.
Ye Moxun stood under the shade of the tree, watching her flutter her arms and slide around. His forehead twitched a few times, and he was really annoyed.
How could he indulge her to this extent, just because she threw a little tantrum?
So he agreed to dress up as ghosts and come to the Ren residence with her. She said she wanted to scare Ren Yufeng's two uncles and aunts. She thought it was quite fun to see Xia He and her group dress up as ghosts last time, and she wanted to try it too.
Another reason is that she felt frightened by being appeared in her dreams several times, all because of the two illegitimate sons of the Ren family. If they hadn't killed Madam Ren, why would Madam Ren appear in her dreams?
So she wanted to let some people experience what it's like to be haunted by a ghost, but after searching around the yard for a long time, she still couldn't find the two couples living there.
Although the Ren family was wealthy, they had few guards, and those guards were of average ability. They climbed over the wall and wandered around several times without being discovered, which made the security measures at the Ren residence worrying.
Just as he was thinking this, two guards came over, probably having heard the commotion. They were about to ask who the newcomers were when Ye Moxun knocked them unconscious with a single palm strike before they could utter a word. The other guard was being choked by Song Tantan.
"I'm asking you, which rooms do your second and third masters live in? Think it over and tell me the truth. If you dare to shout when I let go, I'll cut your head off and use it as a football."
The guard, whose neck was being choked, stared at the female ghost before him. She had a gaping maw and dark, hollow eyes. As she spoke, she suddenly pulled out a nearly meter-long dagger from somewhere, scaring the guard so much that he almost wet himself.
"Did you hear me clearly?" Song Tantan asked.
The guard was almost suffocating from being choked. He nodded with difficulty, and then felt his throat loosen. He instinctively wanted to cough, but his throat was choked again when he tried to cough.
"If you dare to make a sound and attract others, I'll slit your throat." Song Tantan glared at the other person with her ghostly eyes made up with smoky makeup.
She learned this smoky eye makeup from a character she saw playing a ghost when she was a stunt double on a film set. She thought the makeup was particularly creepy back then, but now her look is a knock-off, and her makeup skills aren't as good as the original's.
She looked in the mirror and wasn't scary at all, just rather ugly.
The guard rolled his eyes, pointed in one direction, and then in another, indicating that the Second Master and the Third Master lived in these two courtyards respectively.
After finding out the location, Song Tantan punched the person unconscious and then dragged him to a corner to avoid being discovered.
While Mrs. Ren was half asleep, she felt someone calling her from outside the door. At first, she thought she had misheard, but the voice became clearer and clearer and sounded very familiar.
"Sister-in-law, I died so tragically! How cruel you are! Give me back my life! Give me back my life! Give me back the lives of my family of three! You killed me! You are the ones who killed me! I want you to pay with your lives! I want you to pay with your lives!"
Song Tantan imitated the voice of the woman in her dream, standing at the door of someone's house and making strange, low noises. She even had Ye Moxun stand behind her and use a dim green light to illuminate her shadow.
