At night, a group of people sat around the courtyard, pushing cups and changing lamps, feasting, and bursts of laughter came from time to time in the small courtyard, which attracted the envy of the demon apes guarding the medicine garden.

Liu Rusheng and Cai'er were surprised when they ate dragon meat for the first time, and couldn't help but eat a few more pieces, these dragon meat were all refined by Su Yunfei in advance, maintaining the freshness of the meat and removing the excess energy.

Full of wine and food, everyone's cheeks were slightly red, Yueyao made tea herself, and everyone enjoyed a rare leisurely time.

After taking a sip of tea, Cai'er said:

"Brother Liu and I came this time, in addition to visiting Mr. Su, but also to find our parents, I never believed that they would abandon me."

Immediately, Cai'er talked about the family.

Thirteen years ago, Cai'er was only eight years old, and her parents were in the jade business at that time, although the business was not big, but they also made a lot of money.

They often travel back and forth between Nanlicheng and Yanhe City, which is the largest jade production and wholesale base in the Great Xia Kingdom, and can save a lot of median prices by purchasing goods directly from Nanlicheng.

But thirteen years ago, after Cai'er's parents left the city in the south, they never returned, and they have not been heard from until now.

Some people say that they made a fortune and don't want to come back, some people say that they were intercepted and killed by mountain bandits, as long as they don't see their bodies with their own eyes, Cai'er doesn't believe it.

After listening to Cai'er talk about her parents, everyone cast sympathetic glances, Gao Min took Cai'er's hand and said distressedly:

"Another hard-working child, growing up alone has suffered a lot."

Cai'er's tears kept dripping like beads with broken threads.

Su Yunfei saw Lin Leisheng's painful look on his face, and immediately thought that Lin Miaoke's mother, Chen Miaoyan, had also died thirteen years ago, from the plague.

"Could it be that Miss Cai'er's father and mother also died of the plague?" He pondered.

"Miss Cai'er, Brother Liu, I'll take you on a tour of Shushan for a few days, and then I'll accompany you to find Miss Cai'er's parents." Su Yunfei said.

Several elders nodded in agreement, as long as Su Yunfei didn't go to talk about a project of more than 100 million yuan, they wouldn't stop it.

At this time, Xiao Yue'er raised her little hand and shouted:

"Brother Yunfei, I want to go with you!"

Yue Yao rubbed her little head and said softly:

"Yunfei is going to do errands with Liu Daxia and Cai'er girls, and you stay in Shushan to cultivate well."

Xiao Yue'er was aggrieved and said:

"Every time Brother Yunfei goes out, he either takes Senior Sister Ye, Sister Yueyao, or Sister Miaoke with him, and he doesn't take me."

Looking at Xiao Yue'er's aggrieved expression, Su Yunfei scratched the bridge of her nose and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, I'll take you this time!"

"Great!" Xiao Yue'er jumped into Su Yunfei's arms excitedly, like a koala.

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was cheerful again.

Three days later,

Su Yunfei, Xiao Yue'er, Liu Rusheng, and Cai'er flew out of Shushan and went to the south to leave the city.

The four of them first went to Liuzhai Village, which is Xiao Yue'er's hometown, that warm mountain village.

In addition to giving a lot of supplies to Liuzhai Village, Su Yunfei also put a dragon bone in the patriarch's house, and the beasts in the mountains with dragon bones would not dare to attack the villagers.

Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic villagers, the four of them headed south to leave the city.

Five hours later, Su Yunfei and the four of them came to Nanli City, which had been separated for two years, and found Wu Changqing.

After Lin Leisheng left, the Lei Sheng Dart Bureau was handed over to Wu Changqing to take care of, and every year Wu Changqing would send someone to Shushan to hand over the money earned to Lin Leisheng.

Seeing Su Yunfei, Wu Changqing was excited, and hurriedly greeted him, looking up and down,

"I thought I'd never see Immortal Master Su again, we haven't seen each other for two years."

Su Yunfei hugged his fists and said with a smile:

"Shopkeeper Wu, don't come to harm, the sect is busy with affairs, and I haven't had time to visit you, I miss the braised pork in Guiyue Tower very much!"

Immediately, he introduced Liu Rusheng and Cai'er

, Xiao Yue'er doesn't need to be introduced, Wu Changqing has seen it before.

After explaining his intentions, Wu Changqing pondered for a moment and said:

"The management of Nanli City is still very strict, people who enter and leave Nanli City will be registered, when to enter the city, which inn to live in or who to visit, and when to go out of the city are recorded, so let's go to Guiyue Tower to have a drink, and tomorrow I will take you to the City Lord's Mansion to check the files."

Early the next morning, Su Yunfei and the four of them followed Wu Changqing to the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord who left the city in the south has been replaced, and the previous city lord sat back and watched the Linglong Mountain bandits enter the city because of the bribes of the Yunhai Dart Bureau, which led to the Lei Sheng Dart Bureau being almost wiped out.

Later, Su Yunfei, who was restored to cultivation, cut off a palm with a sword, and then after Su Yunfei became the chief worshipper of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Great Xia Emperor ordered that person to be removed from the position of the city lord and assigned to the frontier.

After learning that it was Su Yunfei, the city lord immediately saluted respectfully and said:

"Meet Chief Su!"

Su Yunfei picked up the city lord and explained his intentions, but the city lord did not hesitate at all, and immediately took Su Yunfei and a few people to the archives of the city lord's mansion.

Next, with the assistance of the officials of the City Lord's Mansion, a group of people began to search for the records of Cai'er's parents' entry into the city in the archives.

Due to the long time and the fact that the city was the base for the production and wholesale of jade in the entire Xia Kingdom, there were many people who came and went every day.

Everyone searched for three hours, and finally an official of the City Lord's Mansion shouted excitedly:

"I found it, Meng Zikun, Zheng Caifeng, Yongning entered the city on the seventh day of the sixth month of the seventh year, and left the city on the twenty-eighth day..." Meng Zikun and Zheng Caifeng are the names of Cai'er's parents, and Cai'er's real name is Meng Cai.

Reading and reading the official of the City Lord's Mansion stopped, his face was a little solemn, and he handed the file to Cai'er.

Cai'er hurriedly received the file, and looked at the tears that couldn't stop flowing, and felt extremely sad.

Su Yunfei and Liu Rusheng hurriedly glanced at the file, and they both showed sad expressions.

Cai'er's parents contracted the plague after leaving the city, and died within a few days.

In the file, Su Yunfei found a name that was both unfamiliar and familiar: Chen Miaoyan, this is his mother-in-law who he has never met, that is, Lin Miaoke's biological mother.

Through the records of the archives, Su Yunfei knew that Cai'er's parents went to Nanli City to purchase jade thirteen years ago, and jade was a luxury item, so he found the Lei Sheng Dart Bureau to escort the darts to Riverside City.

As soon as they left the city, they contracted the plague and died almost at the same time.

The atmosphere in the entire archive room became extremely heavy, and many City Lord's Mansion officials silently withdrew from the archive room.

At this time, Cai'er cried and asked:

"Lord of the city, where are my father and mother buried, I want to go and worship them."

Knowing that her father and mother died of the plague, Cai'er was heartbroken, and at the same time untied her own knot, her father and mother did not abandon themselves, they have always loved themselves.

castlelord says:

"According to the treatment of the plague in Great Xia, all people who suffer from the plague are isolated to prevent the spread of the plague, and if they die because of the plague, they will be cremated and not buried privately."

"I'll look through the archives and see where the cremation site was."

Su Yunfei nodded secretly, Xia Guo's handling of the plague was still in place.

After a while, the city lord found the file and hurriedly shouted:

"Found it, it's a wasteland a hundred miles west of the city!"

The people prepared some things for the memorial service and went out of the city.

When you arrive at the cremation site, there are a lot of ashes left by burning paper money, and it is believed that people often come to pay respects.

After setting up the altar, Cai'er and Liu Rusheng knelt down.

Cai'er was teary-eyed, and while burning the paper money, she shouted:

"Daddy, mother! Cai'er has come to see you, Cai'er has been doing well over the years, no one has bullied Cai'er, and now Cai'er is the steward of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, and there is a Ruyi Langjun, you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs!"

Liu Rusheng's face was solemn, he hugged his fists and bowed, and said:

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I, Liu Rusheng, swear that I will take care of Cai'er and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance!"

Looking at this scene, Su Yunfei also bowed deeply to the crematorium, where the ashes of Lin Miaoke's mother were also buried. He carefully observed the location of the spark and subconsciously sensed it.

Soon, he felt that something was wrong, the soil of the crematorium was no different from the soil around him, and although thirteen years was enough time for the ashes to completely merge with the soil, there was still a difference in careful sensing.

However, Su Yunfei didn't feel the difference, he asked the city lord who had been accompanying him all the time,

"Lord of the city, are you sure that all the people who died of the plague were cremated here?"

The lord of the castle affirmed:

"Chief Su, I'm sure they've all been cremated, Great Xia is extremely strict with the plague, if there are missing corpses that are not cremated in time, the officials who deal with the plague will be beheaded, so no one dares to joke with their heads."

Su Yunfei's sword eyebrows twisted slightly, he felt that he was tired, things were not simple, he asked:

"Is the Nanli City official who dealt with the plague still there?"

Although the city lord didn't know why Su Yunfei was so concerned about this matter, he still told the truth:

"When I came to Riverside City to take office, I checked the resumes and files of all the officials, none of them were more than thirteen years in office, and I had to go back and check the files of the previous officials."

Liu Rusheng and Cai'er heard the conversation between Su Yunfei and the city lord, and didn't understand why the two discussed this matter, Liu Rusheng asked:

"Brother, what's wrong?".

Su Yunfei's face was solemn and said:

"There are any traces of ashes here, I seriously suspect that there must be a cat in it, and I will know if there is a cat when I go to the City Lord's Mansion to check the official files that handled the corpse back then."

The city lord, Wu Changqing, Xiao Yue'er, Cai'er, and Liu Rusheng were all shocked, especially Cai'er grabbed Su Yunfei's arm excitedly, and choked up:

"Master Su, do you mean that my father and mother may still be alive?"

Su Yunfei reassured:

"I can only say that this is possible!"

"Let's go, let's hurry up and check the files at the City Lord's Mansion!" Cai'er pulled Su Yunfei and was about to leave, but was hugged by Liu Rusheng.

"Cai'er, calm down."

After Cai'er calmed down, everyone came to the City Lord's Mansion and soon found the official file that disposed of the plague corpse back then.

After seeing it, Su Yunfei was shocked,

All of those officials, without exception, died mysteriously within three years.
