In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

When Zhao Guogong heard the sound of Huaiyuan Hou, his heart was stabbed.

Even though I wasn't happy, I couldn't say anything.

The emperor's decree demoted him to the rank of Marquis, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Regardless of this matter, Zhao Guogong was full of doubts.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Ning Chuyi has always been bold and ruthless in doing things.

When raiding someone's house, they never care whether they want it or not. They just break into someone else's house and do it directly.

Today it was so unusual that someone sent him a letter first.

When he arrived at Zhuangzi, he didn't take any action, but kept waiting for him to come over.

When did this God of Death become so polite?
This is so abnormal and not at all like his usual style.

These thoughts flashed through Zhao Guogong's mind, but they didn't appear at all on his face.

He just looked surprised and said, "Why did Taoist Mingzhen break into this village? Is it a mistake?"

Qingfeng came over, glanced at him, and said casually, "That's right. Go in and search and you'll find out."

Zhao Guogong's eyes swept over his face, and he felt more and more that his features were familiar, but after searching his mind, he found that he had never seen this person before.

Just ask directly, "I wonder if this young master is..."

Seeing that he didn't recognize her, Qingfeng was not surprised at all and said casually, "I am Taoist Qingfeng, a disciple of Master Xuan Yi."

Duke Zhao frowned, looking a little surprised.

While they were talking, Ling Chu had already used the system to scan the entire courtyard.

After seeing the two naked men and women entangled together in the secret room, doing exercises forgetfully, Ling Chu finally understood why Ning Chuyi sent a letter to Duke Zhao.

Such a good opportunity to catch an adulterer should not be wasted by Master Ning.

Ling Chu immediately secretly attached an invisibility charm to the little hammer and released it.

Little Hammer went straight to the secret room.

Although Taoist Mingzhen was good at mystical arts, Xiao Shuizi was invisible, and since he was at the critical moment, he didn't notice anything unusual at all.

The small hammer hit him hard on the back of the neck.

Taoist Mingzhen stiffened and then fainted.

Mrs. Zhao Guogong was enjoying it with her eyes closed, but suddenly it was interrupted at a critical moment, which made her feel dissatisfied both physically and mentally.

Opening her eyes, she saw Mingzhen lying motionless on top of her. She thought he fainted because of exhaustion.

My heart was full of disgust, but I couldn't help but curse secretly. This old trick turned out to be useless.

Unsatisfied, Mrs. Zhao Guogong was feeling uncomfortable. She just raised her upper body and wanted to push Taoist Mingzhen away, but suddenly she felt a pain in the back of her head.

Before he had time to react, the person fainted.

Ling Chu took one last look at the two people stacked on top of each other, and calmly recalled the small hammer.

Over there, Ning Chuyi was asking Duke Zhao, "Marquis Huaiyuan, why didn't your lady come with you?"

"My wife left the house early this morning and said she was going to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense. She was not at the house."

Ning Chuyi said softly, "Since Mrs. Huaiyuan Hou is not here, I would like to trouble you to open the door."

Zhao Guogong was once again surprised that he didn't kick him out directly.

But he wasn't stupid enough to ask, he just answered and walked quickly to the other courtyard.

He pulled the door knocker and clicked it more than a dozen times, but no one answered the door.

Qingfeng was worried that Taoist Mingzhen heard something wrong and ran away again.

Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, Ling Chu shook his head at him.

Although Qingfeng didn't know what kind of medicine the junior sister was selling in the gourd, she still stopped.
Duke Zhao frowned and clicked the button seven or eight times before hearing an impatient voice, "Who is it?" With a creaking sound, the wooden door was opened from the inside.

A maid wearing autumn-colored armor originally poked her head out with a dissatisfied look on her face, but when she saw the person outside the door, she was so frightened that her legs almost weakened.

Since Duke Zhao Guo was demoted to the title of Marquis of Huaiyuan, everyone in the mansion changed their name to "Hou Ye".

But at this moment, the maid was frightened and subconsciously blurted out, "The... Duke of the country."

Zhao Guogong looked surprised, "Qiulan, you didn't accompany your wife to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense, why are you here?"

Qiulan originally thought that Duke Zhao came here because he found out about Guo.

But after hearing his question, I found that it was not the case.

He quickly stretched out his hand to hold the door to steady his limp body, and his mind was racing, "Slave... I was originally going to accompany my wife to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense, but before going out, my wife wanted to check Zhuangzi's account, so I asked my slave to come over. Get the ledger."

Zhao Guogong was suspicious. He remembered that Guo always used to check the books at the end of the month.

There are still more than ten days before the end of the month.

Moreover, Zhao Guogong clearly felt that the maid seemed a little frightened when she saw him.

This maid has been with the Guo family for many years, and she is not afraid when she sees him in the house.

This will look like you have done something wrong.

Although he was suspicious in his heart, when he thought of Ning Chuyi and others, Zhao Guogong could not ask more questions, so he could only put his questions aside for now.

When he walked into the house and saw no one, Zhao Guogong frowned again.

Qiulan raised her head and glanced at him tremblingly, then suppressed her fear and said, "I see Mrs. Chen in the house has something to do at home and wants to take a leave of absence. I made the decision to let her and her granddaughter go home."

This Zhuangzi is the dowry property of the Guo family. Zhao Guogong has never been here before, and he doesn't know how many servants there usually are in this house. Now he didn't know that Qiulan had lied.

"Qiulan, has any Taoist priest been here?"

Qiulan was shocked, but quickly shook her head, "No, I am the only slave in the house now."

"Master Ning, is it possible that your information is wrong?"

Ning Chuyi said nothing and only waved his hand behind him.

The Jin Yiwei who followed immediately dispersed and searched everywhere.

Duke Zhao watched quietly and did not stop him.

He has no dealings with the Taoist priests in Chongxuguan, let alone harboring fugitives.

Even if a Taoist priest did escape into Guo's Zhuangzi, it had nothing to do with their Duke Zhao's mansion.

Zhao Guogong felt that he was innocent, but Qiulan, who was standing behind him, was frightened, fearing that Mrs. Zhao Guogong would suddenly come out.

As Guo's most trusted maid, she naturally knew everything about Guo's affair with Taoist Priest Qingyang.

Knowing that Qingyang was dead, the maid actually breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she no longer had to worry about things being revealed.

But what she didn't expect was that after Taoist Priest Qingyang died, Mrs. Guo would get involved with Taoist Priest Mingzhen again.

If only Duke Zhao came, Qiulan wouldn't be so worried. After all, he didn't know there was a secret room.

But with those royal guards here, even though this maid didn't want to admit it, she knew that the secret room might not be hidden at all.

Sure enough, soon a Jin Yiwei came over and reported, "Sir, a secret room was discovered."

Before Ning Chuyi said anything, Zhao Guogong looked surprised. He didn't know there was any secret room in this house.

Seeing Ning Chuyi leaving with the Jin Yiwei, Zhao Guogong hurriedly raised his heels.

When everyone left, Qiulan's face turned gloomy and she suddenly collapsed to the ground.
