At the same evening, near Chunhefang in the west of the city, on the layers of tiled eaves, Ji Ran was quietly dormant with a team of five people composed of newcomers.

A slender young man slowly moved to Ji Ran's side.

"My lord, how long will we have to wait?"

Ji Ran's eyes were sharp and stared at the empty courtyard not far away.

It's a dilapidated courtyard that looks like it's been uninhabited for a long time.

There are two rooms in the courtyard, east and west, one of which is a dry well, and beyond that, there is no shelter, and everything can be seen from the eaves.

"Don't worry." Ji Ran whispered, "He said that if you miss the early morning, you can only wait for dusk." ”

"Yes...... Who the hell are we going to arrest? ”

“…… You'll find out when the time comes. Ji Ran said in a deep voice.

Looking at Ji Ran's calm and determined face, the young man pursed his lips as if he had made up his mind, and continued to look intently at the target location.

However, Ji Ran was beating the drum in his heart.

Wei Xingzhen was taking his two servants to another cellar not far from here at the moment, and he didn't know what he was doing.

The phrase "I'll know when the time comes" was told to him by Wei Xingzhen - but when and what he would know, Ji Ran didn't know at all.

Most of his own cronies have opened their minds, so almost all of them are newcomers today.

But Wei Xingzhen insisted - this was enough.

The light of dusk faded.

After a while, a plainly dressed woman finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.

I saw her push open the courtyard door and walk into the dilapidated courtyard alone with strange movements.

For a moment, everyone held their breath.

However, when the woman entered the courtyard, she stood silently by the well, and then stretched out her head to look into the well.

The woman stood motionless in the shadows of the eaves, maintaining her original position.

Looking at this strange scene, Ji Ran was really puzzled, he immediately turned on his divine sense to stare at the woman's breath, but at this moment, Ji Ran's whole person gasped-

Tens of thousands of wild spirits were slowly rising from the dry well, and they were bubbling with a faint blue light, like water flowing upstream, slowly flowing into this woman's seven orifices.

Ji Ran only then thought that he should close his eyes, but it was too late, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes, like thousands of sharp needles piercing at once.

"Hands-on—"

Ji Ran covered his eyes tightly and spat out these two words from between his teeth—he now finally knew why Wei Xingzhen was emphasizing that "it is better to be an ordinary person who has not opened his divine sense".

"-Catch her!"

……

At midnight, Dali Temple is brightly lit.

Wei Xingzhen walked slowly into the back hall with no peace of mind.

The nine-foot-long Bu Wei looks out of place in a group of ordinary Dali Temple Si Zhi - Bu Wei is not only tall, but also has arms that are about the same thickness as other people's heads, he is really a well-deserved wrestler, and he is even behind Bu Wei, and the whole person is blocked tightly.

Ji Ran was sitting on a chair with his head tilted back at the moment, and the skin around his eye sockets seemed to be burned, showing an undisturbing bright red.

The subordinates brought him an ice pack to cool the compress, but to no avail, Ji Ran couldn't open his eyes, and even if he glanced out for a short time, he could only see a faint light, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Shousuke-sama." Several Si bowed directly to Wei Xingzhen.

Wei Xingzhen ignored it, walked straight to Ji Ran, and said to several of his subordinates, "Take the ice pack away, it's useless." ”

Ji Ran looked at Wei Xingzhen in the air, and when he thought that his current situation was all due to Wei Xingzhen's trickery, he was angry, and was just about to open his mouth to scold him for what kind of heart he had, when he heard Wei Xingzhen say, "Help you Lord Ji lie down." ”

"What are you going to do?" Ji Ran pushed away his subordinates' hands and said angrily, "Don't touch me-"

"Your eyes, if they don't heal, they will really be useless." Wei Xingzhen said softly, "Say one more word, I'll leave now." ”

"Boss ......" The subordinate on the side hurriedly spoke, "You need to heal your injuries......"

Ji Ran immediately gritted his teeth.

"Help him lie down." Wei Xingzhen said again.

Ji Ran shook off his subordinates' hands and lay flat on the ground.

Several subordinates looked at Wei Xingzhen expectantly, only to see him take out a paper bag from his arms, and when he opened it, it was full of sand.

"Bring a stove and a crucible." Wei Xingzhen said.

The subordinates did so, and Wei Xingzhen quickly stir-fried a handful of sand on the boiler for a while, and when the sand faintly came out of the steam, he put the hot sand on Ji Ran's eyes.

Then again and again, the whole bag of sand was fried to steam, and then applied to Ji Ran's face.

"There is indeed no cure for eye diseases caused by long-term visual gaze...... But if the time of being burned is short enough, then as long as you take the nearby sand and apply hot sand to your face, you can recover," Wei Xingzhen said softly, "When you were in the Ping Demon Bureau, didn't anyone teach you?" ”

Ji Ran's fists were clenched tightly, and every word of Wei Xingzhen at this moment sounded a little banter and provocation to him.

The subordinates on the side looked at Wei Xingzhen respectfully, "Please ask your lordship...... How long does it take to apply this sand? ”

"Let's see when he's comfortable and when he'll be able to lift the sand." Wei Xingzhen replied softly, "You guys watch him here, when the sand is cold, take a crucible to heat it up." ”

"Okay, thank you, Lord Shousuke!"

Wei Xingzhen stood up, "Then I'll go back." ”

"Congratulations to Shousuke-sama!" The five raised their sleeves and bowed their hands, and spoke in unison.

"Stop!" Ji Ran instinctively wanted to sit up, but he couldn't move, so he had to keep his head up and slowly straighten his upper body, "This is where you want to go?" Tonight's matter, if you don't explain it clearly, don't want to leave Dali Temple half a step! ”

Wei Xingzhen stopped, "Why did I do something before, Master Ji had to follow, and when it was Master Ji's turn to get on himself, did you have to let me interfere?" ”

Ji Ran was just about to sneer at each other, when a message came from outside the door.

I saw two Dali Temple priests running straight into the back hall in great strides, "Master Ji! News came from the Eldest Princess's Mansion that the eldest princess had woken up! ”

"The Taiwei Mansion is the same, the two of them woke up almost at the same time!"

Ji Ran listened to it and was stunned.

Wei Xingzhen said again, "All the suspects should be in the cells of Dali Temple at this time, after Master Ji's eyes are better, let's try them myself." I'm very busy, so I won't accompany Master Ji to handle the case. ”

After that, Wei Xingzhen walked straight out of the door of the back hall, and a neat "Shoufu Lord walks slowly!" came from behind him. ”。

……

When Wei Xingzhen returned to his mansion and walked not far from the small building, he was stunned.

The lights in the room were still on—Feng Yan hadn't slept yet.

Are you waiting for him to come back?

Wei Xingzhen immediately quickened the pace of his feet and trotted towards the house, but as soon as he pushed the door, he heard the familiar sound of "ho ho" sharpening knives.

Under the dim light, I saw Feng Yan sitting there alone.

Tonight, Feng Yan looked like she had changed her clothes, her hair was wet, and she seemed to have only washed it at night.

She held a double-edged dagger in her hand, and the cold light of the blade shone from time to time, shaking Wei Xingzhen's frown slightly—the whetstone under it was stained with water, and it looked like it had been polished for a while.

There was a leather cloth spread out on her knees, and large and small carving knives were pinned to it, all of which were tools that Feng Yan used for carving every day.

She would sometimes polish them alone in the dead of night.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Feng Yan stopped and looked up at the door.

"You're back." She whispered.
