The Taohuayuan family all looked in the direction of Yeats's finger, their eyes widening in horror.

Zhao Qian was also stunned. He also looked in the direction Yeats pointed. There was nothing except a few peach blossoms and the courtyard wall.

Everyone's eyes turned to Yeats again.

But Yeats withdrew his hand, walked to Pei Jingning calmly, and whispered in his ear, "The things are inside the wall."

In the dim light of the night, Pei Jingning looked around. Zhao Qian was the first to come to his side and looked at the two of them, somewhat disbelieving: "It's really inside the wall?"

Yeats nodded.

After receiving the accurate information, Zhao Qi'an waved his hand, and the people from the Yuji Camp behind him immediately used their weapons to knock on the wall.

Yeats said: "Just find the mechanism door."

Half a quarter of an hour later, I found the agency door next to the peach blossom plant against the wall. The pillars and corners of the wall were hollow, and hundreds of thousands of gold and silver treasures, as well as precious medicinal materials and furs were hidden inside.

The things were transported back to the capital overnight and were robbed. Fortunately, with the support of the Gyeonggi Army, more than half of the men in black were killed, and the rest fled. It is said that the people from the Yuji Camp chased them, but they disappeared after chasing them. .

"Disappeared out of thin air?"

On the second day, Yeats and others took a day off. When they came on duty on the third day, Teng Chong brought the latest news.

Teng Chong replied: "In the dark night, those people fled deep into the forest but were not found. When I searched the mountain the next day, there was no trace."

"Oh." Yeats touched his chin, not knowing what to think.

Suddenly, she came back to her senses, "Did you wait for the rabbit the night before yesterday?"

"Your guess is correct. There was no place to put the food. That night, we returned to Feng's house. We blocked them and shopkeeper Xiao Ji and others disappeared."

This case was so involved that it exceeded the scope of an ordinary judge like Yeats. It had been handed over by Lu Sicheng to Fan and Pei, the ministers of Dali Temple. They presented it to the emperor and then ignored it.

It happened to be the day to have dinner with Teng Chong's family. Yeats brought gifts and went to Teng Chong's house. The Ye's small group also went there, including Zhao Bai.

Uncle Teng also invited Prince Jiang Botao to accompany him. Prince Jiang couldn't help but ask when he saw Ye Zhi, "Master Ye, is this the incisor case that has become an unsolved case?"

Yeats smiled awkwardly, "I've been a little busy recently."

Zhao Bai lowered his eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Ye has been very busy, and I don't know when he will have time to handle my cousin's case." Jiang Botao's words were full of dissatisfaction.

Teng Chong glanced at him and his father, saying that he was thanking Ye Pingshi, so why did he bother him?

Uncle Teng didn't expect this, but as an elder, he had no nerve to show off, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and invite the guests to sit down. "Master Ye, Zhongcheng told me everything about Qi'er. Thank you very much." ! Come on...please take a seat..."

Although Yeats was a guest, he was a junior after all, so he could really sit in the seat. "Sir, please—" After Uncle Teng sat down, he politely sat next to Uncle Teng.

Jiang Botao didn't hold on to this topic. After all, even Prince Consort Pei's nephew had not found the murderer. He just felt that Yeats was too young and was praised too highly by people in the capital, so he couldn't help but say something bitter.

Zhao Bai was the prince of the county, just like Jiang Botao. Teng Chong invited the two of them to sit down in a place where no one cared. Zhao Bo glanced at Jiang Botao and moved to sit next to Yeats calmly. Jiang Botao didn't notice this detail. By the way, Following Teng Chong's invitation gesture, he sat next to Uncle Teng.

Teng Chong, who was left, greeted Qin Dachuan and others to sit down.

Teng Chong's wife, Mrs. Teng, hurriedly asked the maid to serve the food. It was obvious that the Teng Mansion had put a lot of thought into it. The food and wine on the table were quite good, and could even be compared to the quality of a fine restaurant.

Yeats has a gentle personality and is easy-going. As long as there is a topic, he will not let the atmosphere become cold. Teng Chong has been around in the world and can talk. After a meal, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

After dinner, Teng Chong's two sons came over to play with Yeats, and she teased them for a while.

The eldest son Teng Qi even patted her small chest: "When I grow up, I will also be a powerful person like Mr. Ye. I can catch the murderer when I see it..."

Children's words are unbridled, making adults laugh.

"You brat is so powerful, you can catch the murderer on sight..." Teng Chong hugged his son with both love and disgust, "You brag all day long..."

"I don't want to brag. I want to be my teacher, Mr. Ye, and let him teach me how to catch the murderer?" Yeats was embarrassed by the child's praise, and said quickly, "No matter if you become great in the future, you must first read more, and read more If you have more, you will naturally understand everything.”

"Really?" The child obviously didn't believe it.

Yeats smiled and affirmed, "Of course."

"Okay, then I will read more books from today on."

The child is easy to coax. He jumped off his father's body and ran to read a book. He really said that the wind is like the rain.

Everyone laughed.

After a while, Yeats and others left.

After leaving the uncle's house, Jiang Botao was not with them. After leaving the house, they went their separate ways. Yeats and Yang Fuquan wanted to go home directly.

Zhao Bai said: "Speaking of reading, it's still early, why not go to the bookstore to sit?"

Yeats looked at the sky. It was not long in the afternoon and it was indeed a bit early to go home. "Then let's go to the bookstore and sit."

Yang Fuquan followed Ye Zhi and Zhao Bai to the library. When they went up the stairs, Zhao Bai said with a smile, "The first time I met you, brother Ye, was in the library."

Yeats remembered, "Yes, it was at the top of the stairs. You were very polite and gave me the way."

Zhao Bai smiled, whether he was being polite or intending to make friends, only he knew in his heart.

The two smiled at each other.

Suddenly, something seemed wrong.

Zhao Bai's shining eyes made Yeats a little uncomfortable: "What books do you usually read?"

"What about you?"

The stairs were narrow, the two of them walked side by side, and their sleeves touched each other unconsciously. Yeats quietly moved to the side, feeling that Zhao Bai was different today than usual.

"I read everything."

"No wonder you are so knowledgeable."

Yeats: ...

Is this a compliment or flattery?When she was about to examine why Zhao Bai was acting like this, someone stood at the top of the stairs and looked down at them.

Why is King Han here?

Yeats raised his arms and bowed in salute, "I have met the prince, Yeats."

Zhao Bai followed and saluted.

King Han looked down at Ye Zhi and Bai, and finally fixed his gaze on Ye Zhi, "Ye Pingshi——"

The tone is slow and deep, making people unpredictable.

The two of them kept saluting, and King Han still stared at Yeats leisurely.

Yang Fuquan looked up from the bottom of the building and shouted, "Brother Ye, there is a student named Jiang Mingchuan from the Imperial College looking for you."

Yeats bowed again as if he was rude, "Your Majesty——"

"I was just wondering how I met Mr. Ye by such a coincidence, but I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be so busy."

Yeats showed a professional smile and said, "It makes the prince laugh. He is insignificant and his official position is undervalued. He is just busy working in vain."

King Han smiled meaningfully and raised his feet to go downstairs.
