The yard in front of me is Miss Ayan's house, and the next door is Luo Chao's house. As for Wei Wentao, his parents are dead, so he is far away from the two families.

An old lady in ordinary clothes just came out to pour water at this time, she was a little puzzled when she saw them, she was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"

The one in front of them should be Miss Ayan's mother. Naturally, they also guessed.

"We are from the government, but the aunt is Miss Ayan's mother? We are here as a routine to ask about the situation." Xie Jintang made an excuse and explained with kindness on his face.

As soon as she heard Ah Yan, the aunt suddenly changed her face, her emotions were particularly agitated, her widened eyes looked particularly scary, and she kept cursing viciously: "Wei Wentao is a murderer, my mother should not have agreed to send Yan'er Marry him, this black hearted person actually did such a thing."

"Ma'am, we are here to find out the situation. There is no direct evidence to prove that Wei Wentao killed the person. Please calm down." Xie Jintang was startled by her sudden change of face, and then comforted her.

"Calm down, how can I be calm, my Yan'er is only about the same size as you, but now I can't rest in peace even after I die, my poor Yan'er, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it." She cried out, and even came to catch her.

Fortunately, Zhou Chengjing protected her behind her in time, while Xie Yanfeng blocked the unsheathed Jian in front of the aunt, and looked at her coldly.

"Auntie, if you want to retrieve Miss Yan'er's body, answer our questions honestly." Zhou Chengjing looked at the auntie with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said without changing his face.

The aunt was instantly startled by his cold eyes, she stopped crying, let alone making trouble, she put away her emotions and nodded obediently.

The aunt probably knew that this group of people were not easy to mess with, so she was careful and smiled to please them.

After entering the house, several people glanced around. The environment inside the house is still simple. Although the things are old, it can be seen that the owner of the house is generally clean and tidy.

The aunt wiped the stool with the hem of her clothes, carefully flattered her, and made a gesture of please sit down: "You guys, don't be disgusted, sit down, sit down."

Immediately afterwards, he went to make another pot of tea and poured a cup for several people respectively.

Xie Jintang took the tea that the aunt handed over, and took a sip, but found a musty smell. In this regard, she frowned slightly, but did not show it, but put down the teacup in her hand.

At first glance, Ah Yan's family is poor. This tea is probably for entertaining guests, and it has probably been stored for a long time.

"I heard that you wanted to make an engagement for Luo Chao and Ah Yan?" Xie Jintang asked abruptly.

"Yes, we grew up with this child, Ah Chao, and he is also a neighbor. If Ah Yan marries him, we are 1 rest assured. Who knows that Ah Yan doesn't like this child, Ah Chao, so the marriage will have to be abandoned in the end. "Speaking of this, the aunt regretted it, she said with a sad face.

Jun Fu next to him suddenly opened his mouth, and asked abruptly, "According to you, Luo Chao likes Ah Yan, and Wei Wentao and the two are not childhood sweethearts. Why do you only say that Luo Chao was raised by you?"

"Of course Ah Chao likes Yan'er. When she was a child, Yan'er always clamored to marry Ah Chao. Who would have thought that she would change when she got older, otherwise, why would the adults of our two families want to marry Yan'er for no reason? A child is engaged."

"As for the kid from the Wei family, he moved here when he was ten years old. His mother is a blind widow. It is said that his father was a hunter, but once he went hunting and never came back. Later, it was said that he was caught by wolves. After leaving, I didn’t even find the body, no, his mother cried blindly because of this, and said that there were many gossips in front of the widow’s house, so she took her son and moved into the city.”

"When I saw his mother for the first time, she was so skinny that she was almost out of shape. I was soft-hearted, so I rented a house for the mother and son. They lived there for six years until Xiaozi Wei passed the exam. Xiucai, the mother and son moved out, and in less than a month, Widow Wei died of illness."

"Boy Wei was also hit, and he has never recovered from it. It was my Yan'er who enlightened him every day, and then he regained his strength, but Yan'er also fell in love with Xiaozi Wei. We, husband and wife, can be regarded as watching Xiaozi Wei grow up. , was admitted as a scholar, and has a bright future, so I accepted this marriage, who would have thought that such a thing would happen." As she spoke, the aunt covered her face and wept.

Seeing this, Xie Jintang casually handed over a square handkerchief and motioned her to wipe it off.

"Thank you, miss." The aunt took the handkerchief and said gratefully.

At this moment, she made a request: "Can we see Miss Ayan's room?"

The aunt wiped her tears, nodded, and got up to lead the others.

After entering the room, they looked around casually. The room was very clean. Xie Jintang casually touched the corner of the table, but there was no dust at all. Someone probably cleaned it every day.

When she came to the dressing table, she was about to open the drawer, but found that she couldn't open it no matter what.

Jun Fu came over at some point, raised his eyebrows, and casually reminded her: "There is a mechanism."

This made her puzzled, why should the drawers of ordinary people have organs?Could it be that there is some secret hidden in it, or that there is some secret hidden in Ah Yan.

Just as she was thinking about it, Jun Fu had already cracked the mechanism and opened the drawer.

Inside is a box that does not match the style of Ah Yan’s family. Why do you say that, because no matter the workmanship or the material, it is not something that an ordinary girl like Ah Yan can afford. With just one glance, Xie Jintang was amazed. She was stunned All of a sudden, he asked in doubt, "This box?"

She seemed to smell a sense of sobriety vaguely. She picked up the box and sniffed it closely. As expected, it was emanating from the top. The smell was very weak, and it could only be smelled close.

The wooden box is not big, about the size of a palm, with many exquisite patterns engraved on it. It is very delicate and small. If it is left for thousands of years, it will definitely be called a precious ancient relic, but it cannot be opened.

"It's pear flower wood." Zhou Chengjing explained lightly.

Pear blossom wood is extremely precious, but Ah Yan is just an ordinary girl, how can she afford it.

At some point, the wooden box was picked up by Jun Fu to play with. He looked at it boredly, and finally raised his eyes casually, and lazily said: "I see that the workmanship looks familiar."

No, the other three fixed their gazes on him in unison, making Jun Fu feel a little uncomfortable.

He organized his language, and then he opened his mouth to explain to several people: "There is a man in the ghost market who is known as a supernatural craftsman, even a piece of discarded wood can become an exquisite wood carving in his hands. , He is also good at mechanism skills, it can be said that almost no one can crack the mechanism he arranged."

A few people have obviously never heard of such uncanny workmanship, and Jun Fu is originally from the world, so he naturally knows more than them.

"What do you mean, this thing came from him?" Xie Yanfeng, who was on the side, questioned.

"I've seen another work of his, and it's pretty much the same as the pattern on it. As for whether it's true or not, I have to verify it." Hearing this, Jun Fu shook his head and said with a frown.

According to his intention, that is to say, he has to go to the ghost market.

Xie Jintang asked the aunt next to her: "Auntie, do you know where Miss Ayan got this thing from?"

The aunt stared at the wooden box for a long time, finally shook her head, and immediately denied:
"This thing cannot be Yan'er's, and I have never seen Yan'er take this thing out."

It seems that there are no clues from the aunt's mouth. If you want to know the answer, you have to go to the ghost market.

Other than that, no other abnormalities were found. The aunt generously gave them the wooden box directly. After saying goodbye to the aunt, they prepared to go to Luo Chao's house to have a look.

In addition to his parents, Luo Chao's family also has younger brothers and sisters.

The news from Luo Chao's parents is not too different from that of Ah Yan's mother. However, according to Luo Chao's parents, the girl Ah Yan likes Luo Chao, but when she was 15 years old, she suddenly changed her personality. I can't tell, but their attitude towards them became a lot colder, and then they suddenly said that they would marry Wei Wentao. Similarly, they also went to Luo Chao's house to have a look.

Surprisingly, they found that most of the clothes were gone. Luo Chao's parents were also surprised by this, thinking that a thief came in and stole them, and cursed several times because of it.

Nothing else was found, and then I went to the scene of the crime, which was Wei Wentao's home.

Xu Shi has been uninhabited for a long time, the place is already somewhat desolate, the house is full of dust and cobwebs, the scene has already been cleaned up, but there will be clues left in the end, so several people checked separately.

Xie Yanfeng was checking under the bed, when he saw an envelope in a crack, he immediately shouted: "Come here quickly, there is a letter here."

The gap is very small, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all. Similarly, the letter is a bit deep, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it out. Xie Jintang squinted one eye to finally see it clearly. At this moment, she has to admire the carefulness of the third brother.

Jun Fu found a tool, several people worked together, and it took the boss's strength to take out the letter.

A lot of dust has fallen on it, and there is nothing on the outer envelope.

Xie Yanfeng couldn't wait to say: "Quickly open it and see what's written inside."

Immediately afterwards, Xie Jintang opened it.

Only Wei Lang was written on it, don't read it, she read it out.

Judging from the tone, it should be left by Miss Ayan. If you say it this way, Miss Ayan should not be dead. Otherwise, why did you leave such a farewell letter, but somehow it fell into the gap, so that Wei Wentao didn’t See, but why did Miss Ayan feign her death? Since she chose to feign her death, why did she leave this letter.

Maybe Ah Yan had to "die" in front of outsiders, but she was afraid that Wei Wentao would be too sad, so she left this letter.

But, in this case, it couldn't be Wei Wentao who was designed by Ah Yan. Why did the officials come so quickly? Obviously, someone had reported to the officials in advance.

Luo Chao's clothes were all gone, which meant that he was probably not dead either. Maybe these two people are together now, so could it be Luo Chao's official.

"Well, I'll go and find out, who reported to the official that day." Xie Yanfeng said at this moment.

After receiving Zhou Chengjing's signal, he set off immediately.

Xie Jintang asked suspiciously: "By the way, how can I get to the ghost market you mentioned just now?"

"The ghost market opens on the fifteenth of every month, but it's a little troublesome to get in. They have a token for authenticating their identity, and the hardest part is this token." Jun Fu explained slowly.

After a pause, he continued, "And they are especially taboo about people from the imperial court going there. It is said that the person who first opened the ghost market had enmity with the court, so the ghost market forbids people from the court to go."

That's fine, as long as he doesn't reveal his identity, it's just a token in his mouth. Looking at him like this, it seems that it's really difficult to deal with.

Zhou Chengjing asked lightly: "How did you get the token?"

"First, it's a fake, but the chance of getting away with it is very small, they have a special way to distinguish; second, those who have a token can bring one into the ghost market at will, but this method is also difficult, unless you have someone you know. Jun Fu shook his head, frowning and explaining with a serious expression.

After all, is there no way?Didn't the clues end here again, Xie Jintang was a little impatient.

Seeing her frowning, Jun Fu raised the corners of his mouth and said casually: "Don't worry, there is another way."

"What way?" Hearing this, she immediately raised her eyes, stared at him brightly, and asked urgently.

Jun Fu opened his thin lips lightly, and uttered three words one by one: "Auction"

"I heard that Bixiao Pavilion will hold an auction this month. It is said that the finale will be the ghost market's token. There are two pieces."

"However, you probably won't know this kind of news. I'm here for the auction. Calculating the time, it should be three days later."

"Of course, there is a threshold to enter the auction." Having said that, Jun Fu smiled slyly, with a hint of complacency in his eyes. Obviously, he had reached this threshold, and as for the two of them, they would definitely not be able to enter.

When he heard the word Bixiaoge, Zhou Chengjing thought of Yeyin who had ambushed into Bixiaoge, and he didn't know what was going on with him now. There was no news about him these days, so Zhou Chengjing was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Master will take you in." Jun Fu can be regarded as having turned back a round, and he is proud of himself at the moment, as arrogant as a little prince, looking at him like that, his tail is going up to the sky.

Xie Jintang was a little speechless.

After the matter was settled, and it was getting late, the two of them prepared to go back to the palace, and Jun Fu also followed.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Jun Fu was obviously a little surprised, because in his opinion, these two people were at most important figures in the court, but unexpectedly they came from the palace.

What shocked him even more was that when the palace people saw the husband and wife, they immediately saluted respectfully. When they didn't hear about His Majesty and Empress, Jun Fu really couldn't believe that these two were actually the ruler and mother of the country?

He looked at the palace curiously, because it was his first time here, and then asked with some doubts: "Are you really His Majesty and Queen?"

"Otherwise?" Xie Jintang pouted and asked back with a smile.

Hmm, don't they look alike?

"Tsk tsk tsk." Jun Fu shook his head, clicked a few times, and looked around the two of them.

Zhou Chengjing gave him a cold look, and asked blankly, "Have you seen enough?"
