Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 47 A Friend Comes to Your Door
The Dayu Dynasty was not a corrupt and incompetent dynasty, and he was not a fool.

The royal family had long known about the Yun family’s discovery of the ruins in Tilan Mountain, otherwise he would not have come to Fenglin Town in person this time.

Yunjin’s excuse was lame, and I’m afraid it wouldn’t even fool a child of a few years old.

However, Li Xingchao did not intend to hold on to the argument. After all, now was not the time to turn against the Yun family.

"Sister Yunjin is joking. What's there to punish?" Li Xingchao said with a faint smile, "Since there are indeed ruins in the mountains, let's adjust our plans for this trip."

"I and sister Yunjin will lead a team of elite Golden Scale Army soldiers into the mountains. Let Xun'er and Wan'er take care of the witch in Fenglin Town."

"It's a good opportunity for the younger generations to get closer and develop some feelings for each other."

Li Xingchao is good at calculating.

Having seized upon the evidence that the Yun family concealed the remains, he took the opportunity to propose that Yun Wan and his son deal with the witch matter together, so that the two could get closer. Neither Yun Wan nor Yun Jin dared to refuse this.

"Alright." Yun Jin forced a smile on his face and nodded in agreement: "Just consider it as a chance for them to gain experience."

"Wan'er, you must follow the prince carefully and learn and observe more." Yun Jin immediately reminded her, as if afraid that Yun Wan did not know the seriousness of the matter.

Even though Yun Wan was unwilling at this moment, she could only hold her nose and endure it. She bowed slightly to Li Xun and said, "Thank you for your advice, my lord."

Li Xun jumped down from the stool, walked up to Yun Wan with a smile, and stretched out his hand to hold her hand, but Yun Wan dodged him.

He touched his nose angrily, and bowed to Yun Jin and Li Xingchao, saying, "Father, Aunt Jin, I will take Sister Wan'er to investigate the case."

Li Xingchao nodded: "Go ahead, be careful."

The two of them left the government office. Li Xun secretly glanced at Yun Wan's graceful figure, then said seriously, "I heard that you have been in Fenglin Town for some time?"

Yun Wan nodded and said indifferently, "Yes."

"Have you figured out the details?"

"When did the witch first appear?"

Li Xun asked in a deep voice.

Yun Wan answered one by one, and he listened very seriously.

"So, the source of this matter is the Wang family you mentioned and that pariah called Fang Xu?"

Yun Wan was slightly stunned and nodded.

"Let's go."

"Take me to have a look." Li Xun said with his hands behind his back in an old-fashioned manner.

Yun Wan was puzzled: "Where is the prince going?"

Li Xun glanced at her strangely and said, "Of course I'll go find that Wang and that untouchable to find out what's going on."

Fang Xu’s courtyard.

Wang came to the courtyard with a basket of fresh apricots. She looked at Fang Xu and Chu Mu who had just finished their meal and said with a smile, "Brother Fang, Mu, Brother Yunshan brought some apricots from the county. I'll give you some."

Putting the basket of apricots on the stone table beside her, Wang picked a few larger ones from the basket and handed them to Chu Mu, then gave two to Fang Xu: "Washed, they are sweet."

Seeing the two of them being intimate, Chu Mu pouted and said unhappily, "Brother Fang Xu, I'm going back to the house first."

Having said that, without waiting for Fang Xu to speak, she turned her wheelchair back to her room and slammed the door shut.

Looking at the closed door, Fang Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Wang was also somewhat at a loss, and asked in a low voice:

"Does Miss Mu dislike me?"

"Or was it because I spoke too loudly that night and she heard it?"

Fang Xu was about to speak when two figures appeared outside the courtyard gate.

"Miss Yun?"

Fang Xu was a little surprised to see that the people coming were Yun Wan and a child who looked only eight or nine years old.

Wang stood aside with her head lowered, looking reserved.

"You are all here, it's just right, we don't have to make an extra trip." Yun Wan introduced: "This is the prince of the dynasty, he wants to know something about Wang Ergou from you."

The prince of the royal family?
Fang Xu looked at the "child" for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I am Fang Xu, the boy, and I greet the prince." Seeing this, Wang Shi on the side also hurriedly bowed and said: "I am Wang Shi, and I greet the prince."

Li Xun raised his head and glanced at the charming Wang, shook his head slightly and muttered, "She is quite pretty, but it's a pity that she has lost her virginity..."

"Get up."

"Your name is Fang Xu?" He said proudly, staring at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu cupped his hands: "Yes."

"Tell me everything that happened before and after you found Wang Ergou dead that day. If you hide anything, you'll be in trouble for your life."

Fang Xu quickly bowed and recounted what had happened before.

This matter had nothing to do with him, so there was naturally no question of lying.

Li Xun had been paying attention to the changes in his body and expression, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

"Is everything he said true?" After listening to Fang Xu's story, Li Xun asked Wang again.

Wang nodded repeatedly and said, "It's all true."

On the side, Yun Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the little girl who was rescued by Fang Xu that day was no longer in the yard.

Given the girl's appearance and delicate temperament, if Li Xun discovered her, he would probably not let her go easily. Once a dispute occurred, Yun Wan knew what the consequences would be.

"In that case, you, take me to the crime scene." After pondering for a moment, Li Xun pointed at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu glanced at Yun Wan, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he bowed slightly and said, "Please come in, my lord."

Li Xun held his head high and walked out of the courtyard proudly.

"Sister-in-law, please take care of Mu. I'll be back soon."

After instructing Wang, Fang Xu was about to follow, but Yun Wan gently pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Don't let the prince see that little girl."

Fang Xu was slightly stunned, then looked at Yun Wan with gratitude.

"Miss Yun, please."

Leading Yun Wan and Li Xun to the place where Wang Ergou died, Fang Xu said, "Please look, my lord. This is where I found Wang Ergou's body."

“This is where his oxen died.”

"The blood and flesh of the oxen seemed to have dried up in the wind. The death was extremely horrific."

Fang Xu stood respectfully aside as he quickly introduced the situation at the crime scene to Li Xun.

Li Xun came to the two places Fang Xu mentioned, sniffed lightly and sneered: "It's really those guys!"

"You are very good."

"I will stay in Fenglin Town for a while to investigate this matter. I see that you are smart and familiar with this town. You should stay with me during this period of time."

Fang Xu was stunned when he heard this, and quickly looked at Yun Wan.

Yun Wan said calmly: "It is your honor to serve the prince. If you do this well, the prince will naturally not treat you unfairly."

Fang Xu had no choice but to bow and say, "Thank you for your favor, Your Highness. I will serve you at your service!"

This little flattery obviously made Li Xun very comfortable, and he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I like this cleverness. If this matter is done well, I will take you to Zhongzhou."

Fang Xu quickly bowed his hands in gratitude: "Thank you, Prince!"

"Let's go back and take a look." Li Xun said.

The three of them returned to the town from outside and went to the charity cemetery that was being rebuilt. They didn't finish until the evening.

"I heard that the famous Maple Leaf wine in Maple Forest Town has a special flavor. Is that true?"

At the end of the You hour, the three of them were walking in the town, and Li Xun suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness wants to drink?" Fang Xu was stunned when he heard this, then he secretly said in his heart: "I know a wine shop in town that sells the most authentic maple leaf wine!"

Li Xun nodded: "Lead the way."
