Mo Yanliang

Chapter 236 Visiting the Fox Den at Night ([-])

Yan Jingshen's martial arts were much higher than those of the guards, and it was inconvenient for the two of them to stop them, so they could only nod in response.

It was the end of the month at this time, and although the weather was very clear, the moon in the sky had only a crescent moon left, and the light was extremely dim.

With the eyesight of an ordinary person, things twenty feet away are somewhat unclear.

Yan Jingshen has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has deep inner strength, he can see dozens of feet more clearly than ordinary people, but just to be on the safe side, he still prepared two firefly.

Wen's family lived in Shuocheng for a long time, but their family circumstances were not good and the population was not prosperous, so the old house didn't occupy much land and the location was very remote.

Yan Jingshen had asked people to inquire about the location of Wen's old house before, and he had drawn a detailed topographical map.

With his ability, it is not difficult to find the location quickly and accurately through the topographic map.

In less than half an hour, he was already standing outside the wall of Wen's old house.

The wall is only as high as one person, and in addition to being in disrepair for a long time, the whole house looks dilapidated and dilapidated.

The corner of Yan Jingshen's mouth curved.

It's no wonder that Wen Laohu has been standing upright, and there is indeed something extraordinary about him.

He has pretended to be clean and honest for more than 20 years. He wears old clothes and eats rough food. As the prime minister of a country, he doesn't even repair his old house.

From ancient times to the present, there are very few officials who can do this.

Yan Jingshen supported himself with one hand, leaped over the fence lightly, and landed silently in Wen's courtyard.

He opened the fire folder and walked slowly into the main room.

Although the house is dilapidated, all kinds of furniture and furnishings are still in place, but it is a bit decayed due to its age.

But the dust is not too much, and there are few spider webs, which shows that people still come to check this house from time to time.

Yan Jingshen walked to the bookshelf, and looked at the slightly messy collection of books by the light.

The Wen family cannot be compared with the Xia family. The collection of books is small and the content is single, and they are basically related to the imperial examination.

Interesting books such as travel notes and poetry collections are completely missing.

Yan Jingshen pouted, and walked into the room.

No wonder Devil Pepper thinks that way.

Wen Laohu has a bad image, simple and honest temperament, single hobbies and lack of interest, and his family background was so bad when he was young, the women who can look at him are indeed very tasteful.

The most important thing is that he was still unwilling to marry that woman, and changed his mind immediately after meeting Bai Fumei Lu.

There is nothing decent in there either.

A somewhat crude wooden bed, a round table, three round stools, and two camphorwood boxes with peeling paint.

Yan Jingshen made no further moves.

Because Xia Yueliang once said that she sent Feng Qi to Shuo City last year.

Although the guy didn't find any clues, he must have rummaged through these things in the house more than once.Thinking about it, he searched it a few more times and got the same result.

Yan Jingshen walked out of the main room, and went around the kitchen and side room.

Shuocheng is a vast land and sparsely populated. Although the Wen family's old house is not big, it is a single family courtyard, and there are no neighbors.

Living in such a remote place, there is no woman's belongings or traces in the house.

If it wasn't for Wen Chengli who said that Wen Jing has a good friend, Yan Jingshen would have wondered if he had been deceived.

He walked out of the penthouse and looked to the other side of the wall.

The nearest house is not small in scale, with green bricks, black tiles and lush vegetation. It can be seen that the owner's life is very good.

Yan Jingshen fell into deep thought.

He doesn't know what kind of person Wen Laohu was when he was young, but a person who can pass the Jinshi exam must have gone through hard study.

There are not many women who can meet him, and it is very likely that they live nearby.

But there was only this mansion nearby, and even if the people living in it were not of high status, their economic conditions were pretty good.

A girl from this kind of family would actually fall in love with a poor scholar?

Even if she was simply blind when she was young, her parents and elders should have normal eyesight. How could she let her do something like a moth to a flame?
The more Yan Jingshen thought about it, the more strange he felt, he didn't even care that the fire was turned off.

About another quarter of an hour later, there was a rustling sound from outside the wall.

Yan Jingshen held his breath, and hid in the shadow of the wall in a flash.

The rustling sound stopped soon, and a very familiar voice came over.

"Be careful, girl, this subordinate will take you in right away."

Devil Pepper is here too? !
Yan Jingshen couldn't tell whether he was surprised or happy.

They haven't seen each other in the past two months, and it would be an absolute lie to say that he doesn't miss Xia Yueliang at all.

But this woman obviously has so many people under her command, is it necessary to make this trip in person in the middle of the night?

Besides, Shuocheng is Xia Huaimin's territory, so why is it so sneaky?
Feng Qi and Xia Yueliang quickly crossed the wall.

Yan Jingshen was wearing night clothes and was hiding in the shadows, even Feng Qi, who was a master of martial arts, didn't notice him.

However, Xia Yueliang suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong with the girl?" Feng Qi asked anxiously.

Xia Yueliang took a deep breath and said with certainty: "Someone has been here just now."

Feng Qi was taken aback, and immediately became alert.

Yan Jingshen was startled.

Devil Pepper, isn't it? He obviously hid it so well that even Feng Qi, who is very skilled in martial arts, didn't find it. She actually...

Feng Qi said: "This place is remote and desolate, is the girl being too careful?"

Xia Yueliang said: "I didn't guess randomly, there is a faint smell of fireworks in this house, someone must have been here tonight."

Feng Qi said with a smile: "So that's the case, this subordinate thought that the girl knew martial arts."

Xia Yueliang smiled, and said again: "Although the light is poor at night, we can't disturb the people who heard the old fox, and we shouldn't stay too long in Shuo City, so we can only come at night."

Yan Jingshen didn't want to hide anymore, coughed lightly, and walked out from the shadows.

"It's you?!" Feng Qi's eyesight was also very good, and he saw his face clearly immediately.

"It's me." Yan Jingshen smiled and looked at Xia Yueliang.

Xia Yueliang narrowed her eyes.

I didn't hear that this guy left the capital, but he appeared in Shuocheng.

Shouldn't he be following behind him all the time?

Yan Jingshen soon came to the two of them, and cupped his fists at Xia Yueliang: "Junior Sister."

Xia Yueliang clenched her fists, really wanting to hit his face that deserved a beating.

This guy is really thick-skinned, he actually has the nerve to call himself junior sister?

Feng Qi also clasped his fists together: "I don't know why the second son appeared here?"

Yan Jingshen smiled and said, "Your girl must know the reason for my presence here, so I don't need to explain it."

Xia Yueliang glared at him: "When did you arrive, did you find anything?"

Yan Jingshen rubbed his nose: "I've just been here too, and I haven't had time to investigate carefully."

Xia Yueliang said: "The Wen family's old house is a single-family house, and the nearest one is this mansion. If you want to come to Wen's old fox's friend, it's probably related to this family."

Her thinking is completely consistent with his own, Yan Jingshen is quite proud of it.
