"Lord Hui, what you predicted earlier has happened." Master said respectfully.

"Come in."

"Yes."

The master pushed open the door and walked in.

The door closed automatically, and it was pitch black inside.

In a house in the inner courtyard, Ji Suniang squatted on the ground and looked at the objects in the box.

Inside, there are neatly wrapped in oiled paper title deeds and silver tickets, as well as a cookbook in a rosewood box.

Qiu Li borrowed the recipe and looked at it, and an analytical text appeared next to it:

【Jijia Recipes:

This is a recipe, but also a talisman, in the early years, the Ji family was the imperial kitchen, and a secret decree from the previous dynasty was sandwiched in this recipe, and with the passage of time, it has lost its effect......

However, there are always people who think that it is related to a treasure map, or that it is really related to a treasure map......]

Qiu Li's eyebrows jumped, she flipped the recipe from beginning to end, and didn't see anything abnormal, after she returned the recipe to Ji Suniang, she couldn't help but pull Ji Suniang to the corner and said a word:

"Sister Ji, since this recipe has caused so much trouble, you might as well give it to Lord Ding, with his protection, it will be less coveted by others."

She was really worried that if Ji Suniang continued to hold this recipe, she would be killed sooner or later.

Ji Suniang put the recipe back into the rosewood box and whispered, "That's what I mean." ”

After a while, the maid brought lunch, and Xiaofu went back to accompany her family.

Qiu Li and Ji Su Niang sat in the small hall with lunch on the left and right, Xiao Tuanzi had eaten too much before, lying on the ground in the courtyard, humming and chirping.

Just after eating, a maid walked in.

"The master said that Ding Youren is back, do you want to see the two of you?"

Ji Suniang nodded: "Please wait." ”

She turned to take the small box containing the recipe from the back room.

Ding Youren is Lord Ding's adjutant, the son of a family, and later made meritorious contributions on the battlefield and was promoted to adjutant, as for how he got on the line with Master Ji, he understood when he saw him in a while.

Xiao Tuanzi jumped steadily on Qiu Li's shoulder, the maid led the way in front, she took Ji Suniang's hand, followed the maid and walked towards the study in the outer courtyard.

In the study, in addition to Ding Baozhen, there were also masters and Wang Demao, but no one spoke, Ding Baozhen was writing something at the desk.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, "Master, the eldest lady and the second lady have arrived." ”

Wang Demao was stunned, when did a newcomer appear in Ding Mansion?

"Come in." Ding Baozhen put down the brush in his hand and looked up at the door.

The door squeaked open from outside, Qiu Li let go of Ji Suniang's hand, and the two walked in one after the other.

Wang Demao glanced at Qiu Li, his heart was shocked, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Come on, big lady, this is the Ding Youren you are looking for." Ding Baozhen stood up, smiled and pointed to Wang Demao on the side.

Ji Suniang took a step forward: "Hello Uncle Ding, I don't know if you have heard of the Ji family in Junye County?" ”

Wang Demao's eyes lit up, he searched for memories of the Ji family in his mind, but found nothing, he looked at Ji Suniang and asked, "But the owner of Caixianglou?" ”

Qiu Li was stunned after hearing his answer.

This tone doesn't sound like Master Ji's close friend, but it is a little rusty.

As soon as Wang Demao's words came out, he realized that something was wrong, but now he can only make mistakes on top of mistakes, "I also went to Junye County to perform official duties a few years ago, and I only had contact with Master Ji. ”

Ji Suniang glanced at Wang Demao, then lowered her head and said, "I...... So, I'm fine. ”

Wang Demao's choice of Ding Youren was also a mistake, he was performing official duties at the dock, and he happened to be hit by Ding Youren who came back in a hurry.

After killing Ding Youren, he read part of his memory, and found out that he was from Dingfu, so he didn't do anything, used his face, and pretended to be Ding Youren to enter Dingfu.

The game's hint keyword has the name "Ding Baozhen", and this person must also be a key character.

He guessed correctly, but he didn't expect Ding Youren to have a relationship with the Ji family.

After this ordeal, Ji Suniang is also more cautious about people.

After the temptation, I found that the other party really had a problem.

Wang Demao vaguely felt that he had missed something, and stood in place with his brows frowning.

"Adjutant Ding, you go back first, you will be given vacation for the past two days, and you can also accompany your wife and children."

Ding Baozhen said gently.

"Thank you, my lord, and retire." After Wang Demao saluted, he strode out of the study.

The master stared at the back of him leaving, and withdrew his gaze after half a ring.

"Miss Ji, do you see that something is wrong?" Master asked.

"Indeed......" Ji Suniang raised her head, looked at her master and said, "Actually, I saw him once before. ”

"It was at the family banquet, in the early years he was exiled to Junye County, it was my father who saved him, and then, in order to avoid suspicion, there was not much contact, probably the year before last, he went to Junye County, and I was there at the dinner, but ......"

The master touched a strand of beard on his chin and said, "But he doesn't seem to know you this time...... What if it's to avoid suspicion and deliberately pretend not to recognize? ”

Ding Baozhen shook his head, "The matter of his friendship with Master Ji was mentioned to me a long time ago, Youren is my adjutant, and he will tell me about his affairs no matter how big or small." ”

He turned his head to look at the master and said, "Sit down, they are also parties." ”

"Yes." The master quickly closed the door of the study.

Several people sat down on the Taishi chair in the study.

Not far away there is an incense burner, which is exuding a faint sandalwood incense.

"Junye County is gone." The master sighed and said, "Last night, the river embankment broke again, and no one survived in the entire county of Junye. ”

Ji Suniang looked sideways at Qiu Li, and both of them showed suspicious looks on their faces.

"Impossible, when we left yesterday, Da Shui Ming had already receded!" Ji Suniang asked in a trembling voice.

"I received a prophecy a few years ago." The master said.

"The county industry is dissolved, the world is chaotic, yin and yang are chaotic, and life and death are in dilemma."

"This is the proverb secretly given by a friend of the previous head of the family in the early years of the Heavenly Division, an adult."

"So, since the floods, we have sent a lot of spies in the county."

Akiri asked, "Even if it's a flood, there's no reason why not a single one in the entire prefecture has escaped?" ”

"It's an ocean there, and even the mountains behind it have disappeared."

Master shook his head and said, "Even if someone survives, floating in the water, without eating or drinking, he won't be able to survive for long." ”

Everyone in the study was silent, no matter how you looked at this matter, there was something wrong.

Ji Suniang gritted her teeth, stood up from the Taishi chair, and handed the small rosewood box in her hand to the past.

"Lord Ding, this is the recipe of my Ji family, the little woman can't afford to keep it, I want to give it to the adult, and I ask the adult to accept it."

As soon as the words fell, there was a crisp sound of branches breaking in the window of the study.
