After hearing this, Tan Manxing immediately thought of what County Magistrate Li said yesterday, and quickly mentioned the matter to the three of them.
“****”
After another round of communication, Tan Zhi lay dejectedly on the table.
"Sister, am I really useless? I haven't found any clues about the masked man."
She saw that she and Zhou Yixuan had not discovered as much as Tan Manxing and Tong Leren, and her eyes were a little lonely.
Tan Manxing looked at Tan Zhi, who looked like a wilted grass, thought for a moment, and then spoke to comfort her.
"Junior sister is also very good. Now I have an important task for you."
"Really! Senior Sister, if you say so, I promise to complete it!"
When Tan Zhi heard this, his depressed mood disappeared and he looked at her expectantly with his big deer eyes.
Seeing that she was in a better mood, Tan Manxing was also happy.
She couldn't bear to see her junior sister looking so pitiful.
"Well, next time I go to the study or his bedroom, I'll try to find any evidence of his connection with the martial arts world."
"It's still unclear whether Red Mask is related to them. Remember not to alert them. If there is any danger, retreat immediately."
She warned the two of them.
"Yes, Senior Sister, Brother Zhou and I will definitely be careful!"
Tan Zhi nodded vigorously and looked at Zhou Yixuan shyly.
Zhou Yixuan on the side also nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Miss Azhi."
After talking about the matter, Tan Manxing spoke quickly because he was worried that something unexpected might happen to Tan Zhi and the others.
"That's it for now. You two should hurry back. If you have any questions, contact Tong Le Ren. He goes to the kitchen to pick up food every day at noon."
Their place belongs to the back house, while Tan Zhi and the others live in the outer house. Usually, there are guards patrolling everywhere in the county magistrate's mansion, so it is safe to meet in the kitchen.
"Yes, then Senior Sister, Brother Tong, we will leave first."
Tan Zhi understood the reason and shook his hand, then pulled Zhou Yixuan through the window and quickly disappeared in the breeze.
Seeing that the room had become quiet, Tan Manxing didn't intend to sit idle, so he took a poisonous insect from the jar and handed it to Tong Leren.
She explained lightly under his puzzled look.
"This is a sub-gu. I have to go out tonight. If anyone comes looking for me, pinch him and he will notify the mother insect here."
Tong Leren knew that his kung fu was so mediocre that it would be a burden to follow Tan Manxing, so he quickly reached out to take it.
"Don't worry, Miss Tan. I promise to guard this place well."
Tan Manxing's expression darkened slightly as he looked at Tong Leren who was still speaking in a pinched voice.
"Hehe, appropriate jokes are good for physical and mental health."
Tong Leren laughed at her disgusted expression.
She was too lazy to pay attention to the nervous Tong Le Ren and went to the bed to rest alone.
Wait until night falls.
Tan Manxing put on a black cloak, climbed out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Tong Leren in the room looked at Tan Manxing who disappeared so quickly, pinched his chin and shook his head with a sigh.
He is indeed a big boss, his strength is so strong!!!
I wish he were this strong, he thought to himself with a sour feeling in his heart.
This is Tan Manxing's side.
After she left, she jumped quickly on the eaves under the cover of night, and soon she arrived above Magistrate Li's study.
She lay on top of it, took out a small insect and stuffed it into her ear, and soon the noise in the room was amplified infinitely.
She listened carefully for a while and found that Lord Li was dealing with the documents that had piled up all day.
Things were boring and she was not in a hurry to leave. She just stayed quietly on the eaves.
Time passed minute by minute, no one came to County Magistrate Li's study, and he went to see no one.
Tan Manxing stayed there until County Magistrate Li returned to his bedroom to rest before leaving secretly.
She was not discouraged by the failure of the first day, and still sneaked up to the study and hid in the second half of the night.
She persisted in this way for several days. Just when she thought she would return empty-handed again today, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance.
Soon there was a knock on the study door.
"Master, I have something urgent to ask you, about the eldest son."
Judging from the voice, it was a servant, and judging from the introduction, it was obvious that the person outside the house was from the side of the eldest son of the Li family.
When County Magistrate Li heard the flustered tone, his relaxed brows furrowed slightly, and he looked towards the door angrily.
"Why are you so flustered?"
"Master, I really have no other choice. The eldest son fell in love with a singer from Liuyanfang two months ago. He would go to see her every day. A few days ago, he even redeemed her and brought her to a private residence."
The servant knelt on the ground, kowtowed and explained in a panic.
"Now, now... the eldest son still stays out all night, often staying at that private residence, but his complexion is getting worse day by day. I suspect that there is something wrong with that singer, so I have no choice but to come to the master for help."
He knew that as a servant, it was a crime for him to fail to look after his master, so after he finished speaking, he began to kowtow violently, hoping that County Magistrate Li would give him a lighter sentence.
"This bastard!"
After hearing these words, County Magistrate Li looked at the frightened servant and slammed the table in anger.
"Then why are you telling me now?"
Although he was angry, he also knew that a servant could not disobey the orders of his master.
When the servant heard this, he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look up.
"Master, I am guilty. The eldest son has instructed me not to tell anyone, but I have watched him grow up. This is too strange. I cannot bear to see him get into trouble."
He thought about what he saw in the yamen yesterday. Li Da's complexion was indeed getting worse day by day, and his expression was a little solemn.
"Okay, look up."
He looked at the servant whose head was bleeding, silently clenched the brush in his hand and spoke coldly.
"You can leave now. I will send someone to check it out tomorrow."
