However, even though Feng Mian was the first to suggest that she should rest, when she was lying on the bed, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Qing Ling stroked her back with a gentle tone.

Feng Mian's eyes were shining brightly, "I'm not sleepy."

"Then let's talk." Qing Ling knew that she was homesick, so he talked to relieve her worries.

At this time, Zhao Liang sneaked out of the servant's room, hid in Feng's house, and finally found the study of the Duke.

Zhao Liang observed the surroundings and after making sure that no one else saw him, he immediately slipped into the study quietly and rummaged for something in the study under the moonlight.

Originally, his plan was to come to Fengzhai to find out the purpose of the Duke's visit here.

However, after talking with people in the house in the afternoon, he learned that the Duke sometimes met with some mysterious people hidden in blue cloaks.

He is no stranger to these blue mysterious people. These people come from Qingfeng City and are the subordinates of his enemies. The blue cloak is their symbol.

He didn't expect that the Duke of Guo had a lot of contact with Qingfeng City in private. Maybe he would make some unexpected discoveries in the study.

However, he rummaged in the study for a long time and looked through all the secret boxes of various mechanisms, but he didn't find anything special.

Just when he was discouraged and wanted to give up, his eyes were attracted by an inconspicuous land deed in the box.

This land deed is located in Hexi. There was nothing special about it originally. It was just a coincidence that Zhao Liang happened to know where this house was located and he had even been to this house.

What's special about this house is that it is the property of the former general who protected the country, and it was a property he bought for his relatives.

But later, all the relatives of the General Protector were suddenly brutally murdered overnight. At the same time, the General Protector himself, who was far away in the royal capital, died tragically in his residence.

After the incident happened, the people at the time felt it was outrageous.

Who could actually assassinate the famous General Protector of the Country in his own residence overnight? Even after his death, he refused to be reconciled and even hung his head on the gate of the royal capital in protest.

After this incident happened, the last emperor of the previous dynasty was furious, and the following people investigated the matter thoroughly. However, everything in the house was handled very cleanly, and no clues were left, so the matter could only be left alone.

When Zhao Liang was young, he was still very interested in this matter. He went to the palace of the former General Protector of the Country and the royal residence where his relatives lived. He did not find any clues in the palace of the General Protector of the Country, but when he was at the royal residence , he saw those mysterious blue cloaked men for the first time.

It was also after this time that he was investigated by this group of people, and finally his involvement with Qingfeng City became deeper and deeper...

After the establishment of the new dynasty, the land deeds to the former dynasty's Protector General's Mansion and the royal residence were missing.

Due to the massacre, the two houses were abandoned. He did not expect that the land deed of the royal house was actually in the hands of the Duke.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. Zhao Liang immediately put the things in the box back into their original order and put them away, then quietly hid in the darkness.

After a while, the footsteps outside the door faded away. It must be that the night watchman had gone away.

He lay on the window and observed for a long time. After making sure there was no one else outside, he quietly slipped out of the study, then climbed over the courtyard wall and left Fengzhai.
