Ji Jin and Ji Cha came to Dingzhou without alerting the people in the contact point.

The Sanle Pawnshop, which was jointly managed by Twelfth Uncle and Old Li, would never have any open contact with a clansman who had established a relationship in order to facilitate concealment.

During the early years of the imperial court's pursuit, more than half of their clansmen had died, and most were scattered throughout the country.

The clan elders were wise and farsighted. They thought of a map to return home, pretended to be a treasure map, and mixed themselves in the busy city. Then, they set up a secret signal and searched for the clansmen that were left behind.

This method had persisted for a long time, and after dozens of years, it had still continued to be used.

In the Guyong Mansion, it was a pawnshop. In other places, perhaps it was a teahouse, inn, or even a brothel.

However, there was a hard rule set by the contact point, which was to only receive the outcasts from the family. Those who had already entered the family tree were not allowed to contact the contact point.

This action was mainly to prevent those clansmen who were suspected by the imperial government from contacting them. If they tried to contact the contact points, the imperial government would catch them in one fell swoop!

Ji Gui and Ji Cha had been part of the family since they were young, so they naturally knew of these clan rules. Thus, they were naturally cautious when they came, and didn't even dare to walk outside the Sanle Pawnshop.

But they needed a place to settle in, and they didn't have to worry about Guyong Mansion.

The hidden spies and contact points were different from the ones used to receive clansmen. The hidden spies in each prefecture was used to assist the clansmen who were out on errands.

The Guyong Mansion had two ulterior motives.

One of them was led by Ji Feng, his sixteenth uncle, who was hiding in the inner district of the yamen.

The other group was the B-list rankers in Baxiu Studio led by Ji Fengyuan.

The first line was to investigate the imperial court documents, the secret of the court and other main news.

The B-list was hidden among the rich in the city, while the foreign merchants were scouting the grapevine.

The people on the two lines didn't have much contact with each other.

Even if it was necessary, they would not speak to each other for many years. However, since their clansmen who came from other places did not have a place to stay, they could still contact them.

Ji Cha and Ji Jin didn't want to trouble the two hidden spies, but they were too unlucky. They had just arrived at the Guyong Mansion, bought a few things, and were met by Ji Fengyuan.

At this point, he had no choice but to contact them.

But Ji Hu and Ji Jin did not dare tell Ji Fengyuan that they had come to find Liu Wei.

Firstly, this was her aunt's private trust.

Secondly, they had no identity to hide and had no right to swagger around to search for their clansmen.

If this matter were to be leaked to the ears of the elders within the clan, it would result in a punishment of locking the small black room for half a year.

However, since the two of them had come to Dingzhou quietly, there had to be an explanation.

Fortunately, although Guyong Mansion's second tier Ji Fengyuan was heartless, his first tier Uncle Sixteen was a good person.

Ji Gui and Ji Cha had heard more than once that if that Liu man hadn't appeared in the clan, Uncle Sixteenth would most likely have married Cousin Xia and Autumn.

Therefore, the persimmon was obviously a soft pinch.

Ji Gui Ji simply told Sixteenth Uncle about Liu Wei. Indeed, although Sixteenth Uncle was unhappy that they had acted on their own, in the end, under their pleas, he had agreed not to inform them and had even tried his best to cover it up for them.

In this way, they naturally felt at ease.

The day before yesterday, when Uncle Sixteen found out that Liu Wei had already arrived at Guyong Mansion, they went to the lanterns to take a step.

After all, she was 100% sure of Liu Wei's identity, and knew that Liu Wei was the daughter of Xia Qiu's cousin, a member of their clan.

But there were too many people around Liu Wei, so Ji Hu was unable to get close to Liu Wei, and could not even speak a single word.

Afterwards, when they settled in the same guest room, Ji Hu had been trying to get close to Liu Wei.

However, because of what happened today, Ji Xiu didn't dare to act rashly.

Why did it have to do with the murder case?

This time, the people who were in contact with him, Liu Wei, and even Uncle Sixteen's threads, were all mysteriously twisted together.

This was definitely not good news. If there really was someone behind this, then this move would definitely be …

The more Ji Cha thought about it, the more frightened he became. His heart was even more determined that he would definitely pay a visit to the yamen tonight.

At the same time, someone in the next room was also thinking along the same lines as Ji Cha.

"I'll go to the yamen tonight." Liu Wei said as he poured himself a cup of tea.

Rong Ling sat in front of Liu Wei and looked at her: "You want to solve this case?"

Liu Wei took a sip of tea: "If I don't break it, then I have to. The Sanle Pawnshop is involved, I want to know what happened."

Liu Wei contacting the people from the Three Flowers Pawnshop was also taking a risk.

After all, the origin of the treasure map was unknown. She wasn't sure if the words on it were true or not. Her conversation with Old Li yesterday, whether it was the symbol or the marks on the jade pendant, made her feel relieved.

But today, the Sanle Pawnshop and she had been involved in a murder case at the same time.

His long professional experience told Liu Wei that if too many coincidences happened, there was an 80% chance that it wasn't a coincidence.

Liu Wei did not want to take the risk, so she needed to know the truth.

To Liu Wei, the easiest way to find out the truth was through an autopsy.

The group of people could not reveal their identities or openly contact the Prefecture Overseer. After a direct autopsy, they could only stealthily go and investigate.

Tonight was the most appropriate time!

Liu Wei thought a lot in his heart, but on the surface, he looked calm.

Rong Ling looked at Liu Wei for a while, then held her hand and squeezed it.

Liu Wei looked at the man.

However, Rong Ling only said: "I will accompany you."

"No need." Liu Wei reflexively replied: "It's easier to have more people …"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Rong Ling's originally gentle eyes suddenly turn cold, and the man's strength in pinching her hand suddenly increased by two folds.

Knowing that this man was going to get sick again, Liu Wei hurriedly changed his words: "It's good to have you to accompany me, it's safer this way."

Only then did Rong Ling slow down and nod her head indifferently. Her beautiful long fingers were playing with the fingers of a woman casually, pinching and pinching on her soft hands, while using her fingertips to circle around them.

Liu Wei felt her palm itching, she wanted to retract it, but the man had too much force, she was unable to struggle free, in the end she could only sigh and let him.

In any case, this man was something Liu Wei could not afford to offend.
