It was late evening, and it was getting darker than every, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the sun had disappeared below the horizon, leaving only red clouds reflecting the afterglow.

There is no curfew in Yangguo, and Fengzhou is a famous city that never sleeps, and the night market is prosperous, and it is known as "the star of the suspicious silver Han", which has attracted countless poets to compose poems for it.

At this moment, when the night fell, the lights gradually turned on, illuminating the entire Tibetan Fengzhou as if it were day.

The real buzz has just begun.

"Whew...... Whoop......"

Akan gasped as he sped through the shadows between the houses, too fast to discern with the naked eye.

He was dressed in black, looking immature and delicate, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with a hint of bookishness, like a student who sneaked out of some private school.

It was just a large and hideous knife wound on his arm and back, and the blood that flowed out had soaked his clothes, revealing his unusualness.

His eyes were alert and his expression was nervous, and after running for a while, he slipped into a small alley and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

The alley was a dead end, with a lot of debris piled up at the end, mostly bamboo baskets and barrels and broken furniture discarded by a few nearby families.

But if you look closely, you will find that he did not disappear, but turned into a white-haired mouse and burrowed into the debris piled up in the alley.

From the small hole at the bottom of the alley, I got into a house on the opposite side.

It was pitch black in the house, and no one seemed to be at home, but when Akan got inside, someone immediately alerted and said, "Akhan? Did it work? ”

Akan turned back into human form, nodded, shook his head again, and said a little awkwardly:

"I was almost caught, and for fear of revealing my whereabouts, I first separated the official silver box and hid it in the house I passed by on the road......"

With a wave of his hand, a dark flame ignited in the palm of his hand, illuminating the small circle around her and her countenance.

The man was wearing a purple skirt, with red phoenix eyes, the corners of his eyes were raised, and his eyebrows flew into his sideburns, which was quite domineering.

What's more bizarre is that there are purple scales in the center of her eyebrows, and her eyes are blood-red vertical pupils.

Akan is a white-haired rat spirit, and this woman in the purple dress is named Wu Man, and she is a snake demon!

Hearing this, Wu Man saw that he was empty-handed, and his face immediately sank:

"How did I tell you?! If you fail, don't come back for a while, at least spend the night outside, and come back when the wind has passed! ”

"With your 'Heavenly Secret Divine Concealment', it's easy to hide outside for the night, right?"

"And if you get the official money, you have to bring it back here no matter what!"

"Do you think that if you hide the official money in a roadside house, you won't be able to find out? Those court eagle dogs with a nose more intelligent than a dog can immediately find this place as long as they find a little clue! ”

"I made my own opinion, lost my official money, and exposed my position, what do I want you to do!"

But I'm injured, and the effect of my supernatural powers has been greatly reduced, and I'm sure I'll be caught hiding outside...... Akan felt remorseful in his heart, and only dared to explain for himself in his heart, but his natural fear made him unable to open his mouth when facing Wu Man.

What's more, he was chased and killed by Shennong Si soon after he was transformed, it was Wu Man who saved him and took him in, he volunteered to do things for the other party, but now he has failed, of course it is all his fault.

Wu Man scolded correctly...... It's him who broke the other party's business.

Akan was scolded so much that he could only shrink his neck and said:

"My ban hasn't been broken yet, and I should be able to get the official money back...... I can go back the way I came! It will definitely not affect you, big sister! ”

Wu Man took a deep breath and said coldly, "Tell me the location of the official bank." ”

Akan truthfully told Wu Man all the locations of Guanyin.

He stole a total of ten boxes of official silver, hid them in different mortal dwellings along the way, and set up prohibitions, and at the same time, deliberately left a few misleading clues in several places.

Under normal circumstances, it should last about three hours.

Even if a few of them are discovered, the rest should be saved.

Wu Man asked, "None of the prohibitions have been lifted at present?" ”

Akan nodded.

Wu Man's face softened a little, and said, "I'll send someone to get it back...... You've done a good job, but the eldest sister was a little anxious before. ”

Akan lowered his head and said guiltily: "I know that this batch of official silver is very important to us, and it was my mistake. ”

Because of Shennongsi's status in the Yang Kingdom, the demon clan has a very difficult life in the Yang Kingdom, and it is even more so in Fengzhou, Tibet.

Just hiding XZ has exhausted the mental strength of most demon clans, and even many demon clans starved to death after being crippled and injured.

But there are still some demon clans who are not satisfied with the status quo and hope to change the situation of their fellow clans so that they can live elsewhere.

Under the supervision of Shennongsi, they are at risk of even showing up, so naturally they can't earn money in normal ways, so they can only rob it.

As long as this plan succeeds, they will escape from the Yang Kingdom and go to Ohuazhou, which is located on the sea, where there is only a small country, and the people are not so repulsive to the demon clan.

This is what Wu Man said to him......

Wu Man patted him on the shoulder: "Don't blame yourself too much, go and take a good rest, thank you for your hard work." ”

Akan nodded, still relieved: "If there is anyone who wants my help, the eldest sister must find me!" ”

Wu Man curled his lips, looked at him, and showed a gentle smile: "Of course, Akkan's innate supernatural power is so easy to use, so naturally it should be used more." ”

Akan didn't feel wrong, he only felt happy in his heart, he had been using his magic powers to help Wu Man steal many things.

There are wonderful spiritual treasures, and there are also cheats exercises...... Now it's the ten boxes of official silver.

It is his wish to be able to help his fellow clansmen who are in the same predicament as he once was, so he is very happy to help Wu Man do things.

He also wanted to follow Wu Man to confirm the existence of Guan Yin, but he was a little seriously injured tonight, and he had to recuperate.

Moreover, the eldest sister is more reliable than him, and it is not his turn to worry.

Akan turned around, and as soon as he relaxed, physical and mental exhaustion rushed over him, making him shake.

He clutched his arms and walked towards the bed in the darkness.

But then, his heart suddenly jumped: "It's not good, my ban has been lifted?!" ”

Akan sensed: "It seems to be the one I left in the mud pavilion handyman's room......"

He was a little puzzled: "How could it be found there first?" Although it was one of the places where I had laid out the misleading clues, the location was the most remote, so it didn't make sense that the catchers would find this place first? ”

But the top priority is to tell the eldest sister about this first! Lest there be an intelligence error!

Akan took a deep breath and was about to turn around......

Wu Man seemed to hesitate behind him, but in the end he took two steps forward, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he slapped directly on Akan on the back and directly in front of his heart.

"Bang !!"

The shattered light in Wu Man's blood-colored vertical pupils flashed, and the dark flames in his hands instantly burst into flames, and the aura poured in, trying to destroy his heart.

Akan only has the innate realm, but Wu Man is already a double climber, and when he was caught off guard, he received this palm firmly, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".

He turned his head blankly, only to see the ruthless cold light in Wu Man's blood-colored pupils, and then fell down, fainting instantly.

Wu Man withdrew his palm and sighed:

"Akan, if you do what the eldest sister said, you still have a chance to live, but it's a pity...... Why did you come back? ”

"However, it's good to be back, just in time, there is still a lack of a scapegoat."

Wu Man squatted down, patted Akan on his pale cheek, and said with a smile: "With you, Lord Wang is also easy to deal with." ”

Then, the fire in the room went out, and Wu Man turned into a streamer of light and disappeared into the night.

……

The excitement of Zangfengzhou tonight is different from the past, with a hint of solemnity.

The people who heard the news talked a lot, and the officials in the blue clothes hurriedly walked through the streets and alleys, checking every suspicious person and place, and some people were panicked for a while.

However, this does not disturb the scene of people coming and going on the banks of the Rouge River.

Those who can enter and exit here are mostly high-ranking officials and nobles, who have no family background and background, and can go bankrupt when they enter a random pavilion on the side of the road.

Therefore, in their opinion, how to act quickly on the official mission is inconsequential, no matter what, it will not affect them, even if it does, in Yangguo, is there a problem that money can't solve?

One of the team of officials, under the gaze of some of them, walked into the mud pavilion.

Yu Xiangsi hurriedly stepped forward to receive her, and said with a smile: "A few adults, I don't know what you are doing?" Come on, come here, please, if there is any need, the slave family will try their best to cooperate. ”

The official mission headed by Cen Jiang is actually a cultivator, and he has the cultivation of climbing the fivefold building.

His clothes were distinctly different, with fine dark stripes embroidered at the corners and cuffs, and a smooth palm-sized stone around his waist.

The surface of the stone is like a mirror, but it does not reflect anything in front of it.

This stone, called the Mirror Stone, can only shine on the ghost, and can assist the holder to catch demons.

With this stone on his body, it means that he is a disciple of Shennongsi.

Cen Jiang was tall, dark-skinned, and full of beard, but he spoke politely, and said, "Please take us to inspect all parts of the building, and we can't let go of every place." ”

"It is possible that the thieves who stole the official silver entered the mud pavilion, this is the personal order of the head of the king, and it is very important."

However, there is a reason why he is polite.

Although this mud pavilion is a green building, but the reputation of the willow allure city is very great, and many big people have been interested in her, and even the entire mud pavilion has risen.

However, this unparalleled Oiran is arrogant, and so far, the men who have seen her in person can be counted on one hand.

She also rejected them all.

It is said that Liu Chengcheng only loves poetry, unless someone can write poems that completely impress her and completely defeat her, otherwise she would rather never marry for the rest of her life and redeem herself when she has saved enough money.

Most people, however, only think it's a joke.

It's not a joke that an Oiran like her wants to redeem herself......

Not to mention what kind of astronomical amount the ransom is, even if she scrapes together enough money, the forces behind this mud pavilion will not let her go.

You must know that the reason why the Muddy Pavilion has been able to make her complete so far is that it is said that there is a cultivator's power behind her.

Otherwise, so many big people, just open Chrysostom, they will naturally be able to have an Oiran.

However, Liu Chengcheng has this capital arrogance, but Yu Xiangsi does not.

Even if she used to be a smash hit Oiran, now she is just an old bustard who watches people put food on their plates.

Yu Xiangsi hurriedly said: "Come here, I'll take you adults to make sure you can see every corner clearly." ”

Cen Jiang nodded: "It's hard work." ”

Yu Xiangsi said: "It's not hard, the poor men are also for the safety of us ordinary people, and we should cooperate and assist." ”

"When you're done checking a few times, take a sip of tea and rest."

"What's more, if we don't check and inspect, we don't feel at ease ourselves, for fear of being harmed by bad people."

"If you don't come, I'll have to invite you."

After she said this, the expressions on the faces of those officials suddenly eased a lot.

Since the theft of official silver, they have been rushing all the way non-stop, busy searching back and forth, and their mood is naturally very bad, and they are often cold-faced.

——The land near the Rouge River is extremely expensive, and the people who live there are rich businessmen and tycoons, and the local tycoons are strong, even if they catch fast, they are not easy to mess with.

But Yu Xiangsi's words are really like a spring breeze.

is worthy of being the old bustard of the mud pavilion, that is, he can speak.

Cen Jiang nodded: "Hurry up and lead the way." ”

Yu Xiangsi took them all the way over, the mud pavilion has a total of three floors, divided into the front pavilion and the back pavilion, the front place, naturally left for those talented adults to play tea around, the environment is elegant, the fragrance is blowing in the face, there are small maids at any time.

Leaning against the Rouge River in the back, the first floor is the residence of the miscellaneous maids, the second floor is the place where Liu Chengcheng occasionally comes down to watch, play the piano and practice songs, and the third floor is the residence of Liu Chengcheng.

The first thing to check is naturally the residence of the miscellaneous maids, which is also the easiest place to hide the villains.

The officials walked along the corridor outside, all the way to check, all the doors of the rooms were opened in turn, people came out, and the officials were allowed to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to check, and then they could only sort it out and put it back by themselves.

Lianmi's room is also among them.

But halfway through the investigation, Lian Mi was not happy, blocked in front of a box with red eyes, and said hurriedly: "Don't touch it!" These, these are my underwear, how can you men look at it casually! ”

The official was stopped and pushed by her, and suddenly glared angrily, and pulled out the long knife on his waist: "You dare to stop me?!" ”

He shouted, "There's something wrong with this box! Come here, brethren! ”

The box was actually only about a foot wide, and it was completely different from the size of the official silver box.

Under normal circumstances, a glance is over.

But everyone was polite along the way, and as soon as Lian Mi stopped him, he was naturally unhappy in his heart, and he wanted to teach this chick a lesson!

Lian Mi was startled, closed her eyes palely, and said with a stiff neck: "You just aren't allowed to touch it!" ”

In her opinion, this is a matter of her innocence, and it is absolutely impossible to let go.

Her lady has always told her that she must keep her innocence and not fall deeper and deeper into this quagmire.

In the future, she will redeem Lian Mi together, and the two of them will go to open a steamed bun shop on the street together, support themselves, live a good life together, and no longer live such a life of involuntariness......

If someone casually looked at the close-fitting clothes, she would be no different from those other maids.

The maid in this mud pavilion...... is also equivalent to a prostitute, as long as those masters take a fancy to it, they must accompany their innocence.

The green building is the green building, and Lianmi knows this very well.

In order to make her different from others, the lady has compromised a lot.

Originally, many times, Liu Chengcheng could not come forward, but in the end he met with someone and played the piano.

Yu Xiangsi hurriedly came over and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord is angry, this is our Liu Niangzi's personal maid......"

The official was almost unhappy: "What about the personal maid?!" That Liu Chengcheng is just a watch, she is here today, and she has to speak in a low voice, not to mention just a maid? ”

"I think she's suspicious! We have to get to the bottom today! Otherwise, Lord Wang, how can you explain?! ”

He said it so bluntly, Yu Xiangsi's face was not very good-looking.

Cen Jiang took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, why don't you let Mother Yu check it out, I have an old acquaintance with her, and I can still trust her." ”

He played a round, but the official was obviously his subordinate, but he didn't even give him face.

looked at him and sneered, "Can you trust it?" Can you trust it? ”

Cen Jiang reluctantly lowered his face and said: "Young Master Chang, this is not in the Wanlin Chamber of Commerce, even if your father comes, you have to consider the background of this mud pavilion, can you really afford to offend?" ”

It turned out that this official errand turned out to be Chang Yao, the son of the head of the Wanlin Chamber of Commerce branch.

Chang Yao was angry and said, "What about you, Cen Jiang, you are just an ordinary disciple of Shennongsi, can you afford to offend our Wanlin Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Cen Jiang was speechless, sighed, and silently retreated.

Even if he can stop Chang Yao now, he still has a wife and children...... In other words, he really can't afford to offend.

Chang Yao sneered twice, turned his head to look at Lianmi, but was suddenly stunned.

The girl had been keeping her head down before, but now she suddenly revealed her whole face, which was as beautiful as a lotus flower in the water, and had a trace of natural charm, except for being immature, her complexion was not inferior to those so-called famous prostitutes.

Chang Yao's mind suddenly changed.

He said in a low voice: "It's okay if you don't want to be investigated, as long as you are obedient......"

He stretched out his hand to grab Lianmi's hand.

But Lian Mi immediately dodged it.

Chang Yao's face suddenly darkened: "You ......!" ”

Yu Xiangsi didn't know what this guy was thinking, so he happened to walk to the front of the room that had just been assigned to Chen Kuang, his heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "Ah! I remember! This handyman just came today! Maybe there's a problem! ”

When Cen Jiang heard this, he frowned: "Today? ”

Yu Xiangsi nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, in the past few days, the mud pavilion has been recruiting handymen to work, and has received a few new ones, but this one only came today." ”

She never mentioned that this person was recruited by Liu Chengcheng, and she was also dedicated to her own people.

She interrupted and gave Cen Jiang a chance, and the latter immediately said: "Come here, check this room first!" ”

Lian Mi took the opportunity to hold the small box and hid behind Yu Xiangsi.

Chang Yao missed the opportunity and his face was ugly, but at this moment, everyone else was called away, so he naturally couldn't take advantage of it.

Yu Xiangsi knocked on the door and found that there was no response in the room, and said in surprise: "Why is there no one?" ”

Cen Jiang felt more and more suspicious, and directly kicked the door open.

A crowd of people swarmed in and began to rummage through the cabinets.

Cen Jiang looked at the entire room, picked up the mirror stone in his hand, and began to cast a spell.

This mirror stone can not only make monsters visible, but also detect all kinds of clues.

But soon, he realized that the room was too clean!

Not only is it not a suspicious place, but it is not even as if no one has lived there...... Normal dust, garbage, nothing dirty.

"Does anyone really love cleanliness so much?"

Cen Jiang felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything.

The others turned over for a long time and found nothing.

Cen Jiang looked at it for a long time, and only felt that only the space under the bed was suitable for hiding things...... But there's still nothing underneath.

Helpless, Cen Jiang could only call someone to call it a day.

Yu Xiangsi smiled and said, "Maybe I sneaked out to visit the night market...... This man was disobedient, and I will quit him another day. ”

The first and second floors were all checked.

In the end, only the third floor remained...... The residence of the willow city.

Several people stood at the top of the stairs, and Cen Jiang said, "Can you let us go up?" ”

Yu Xiangsi hesitated: "This ......"

Chang Yao pursed his lips: "Naturally, it's inconvenient, who doesn't know, that King Jingnan has long regarded her as a forbidden body, and others are not allowed to look at her." ”

Yu Xiangsi smiled and nodded: "At this point, she is afraid that she has already rested......"

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sudden sound of a piano from above.

There seems to be a faint bump sound of panic.

Cen Jiang frowned: "What sound?" ”

Liu Chengcheng's voice came immediately, and he seemed to be a little confused when he had just woken up: "Mom, what's wrong?" What's the matter? ”

Yu Xiangsi said: "It's nothing, but you, did you fall?" ”

Liu Chengcheng said: "I can't sleep, I want to practice the piano...... As a result, the piano was not set up, but it did not fall. ”

Yu Xiangsi said: "That's good, you have a good rest." ”

To make a fruitless trip......

Chang Yao secretly said unlucky, squinted his eyes and thought about the half-hidden figure of the little maid, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, his heart was hot, and he thought that he would forget it today, and he must take this maid in the future.

He can't touch Liu Chengcheng, can't he touch this little girl?

Yu Xiangsi sent these poor masters away, and breathed a sigh of relief at the bottom.

Upstairs, there was the sound of wisps of the piano, which made the surrounding pedestrians stop and look sideways, and their hearts were fascinated.

Yu Xiangsi muttered suspiciously: "This girl, could it be that she has been practicing hard in recent days?" When did you get so good at the piano? ”

Liu Chengcheng is not good at the piano, but now the sound of the piano is a bit too good.

After listening carefully, Yu Xiangsi felt that he could compare with the chief musician in the cabinet, and his heart was shocked.

……

After Chen Kuang finished playing a song, he gently pressed the strings and said with a smile: "How?" ”

Liu Tingcheng glanced at him and said angrily: "I saved you, not to let you die again!" No matter how well you play, it's not for you to play to those officials at such a time! ”

Chen Kuang leisurely plucked the strings again.

In fact, if he hadn't used the "Heavenly Demon Law" to calm the anxiety of the officials downstairs, most of them would have come up.

But he didn't open his mouth to refute.

Previously, as soon as he conjured up an indefatigable fire and burned all the clues in the room, Liu Huakui suddenly came over and asked him to hide from her......

Liu Chengcheng said again: "Are you a demon? ”

Chen Kuang said: "That's why you saved me?" The world is afraid of monsters, why are you curious? ”

Liu Chengcheng pursed his lips and said, "You just said, didn't you?" ”

Chen Kuang didn't answer, but his eyes gradually turned glass-colored, his cheeks each cracked a slit, and on his arms, a large area of scale armor of the same color appeared.

This was the first time he had shown the demonic form of this body.
