Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

Ji Yao seems to be familiar with Tianjian Pavilion. From this, it seems that she is also a sword cultivator. But since you have this level of status, how can you be kicked out by your husband's family?

And she was still pregnant with Liujia!

Even a first-class family headed by Wu surname Qi Wang wouldn't dare to go so far, right?

On the way back to the inn, Li Nuo muttered to himself, puzzled.

besides.

Ji Yao is really too calm.

There was no trace of sadness or anger on her face.

How generous this must be!

At the same time, he was also very curious, what kind of strange man could he let down Miss Ji Yao and even give up his own blood?

In this age where male heirs are highly valued, such a thing is extremely rare.

Could it be that……

What accident happened to Ji Yao's husband and he is no longer alive?

This would explain why Tong Jiyao didn't want his help.

Thinking of this, Li Nuo felt a little pity for Miss Ji Yao.

What a miserable person...

A few moments.

Li Nuo returned to Xinghua Inn, and the old village chief appeared in the inn lobby pretending to be a chance encounter.

Master Zheng is back? But have you met that girl? How do you feel?

The village chief smiled and asked seemingly casually, but in fact every pore in his body was trembling slightly.

Even if Li Nuo didn't use [Knowing the Small Things], he could easily detect the old village chief's eagerness at this time.

He smiled: Yes, he is the person I am looking for. I would also like to thank the village chief for providing me with this clue.

Okay, okay! I am very happy to be able to untie the knot in the young master's heart...

The village chief's tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

This level was finally passed without any danger.

Fortunately, Miss Ji Yao was willing to cooperate with this performance. When the incident was over, he would give her another five hundred taels of silver as a token of respect.

Next, it’s time to reap the results.

The village chief said with a radiant face: By the way, I heard that your father made the news a month ago, saying that if anyone can help you find the girl, he will give you the treasure. I wonder if this will still count?

Of course it counts. However, the village chief must also know that the treasure is too precious and it is not safe to carry it with me... Therefore, when I come here this time, I also want to confirm her identity first... Of course, the village chief can Don’t worry, I will prepare a letter and send it back to Chang’an soon. After my father reads it, I will make arrangements. I will definitely give the village chief a satisfactory answer. How about asking the village chief to wait a few days?”

Li Nuo's words were watertight and had no flaws.

The village chief was also quietly observing Li Nuo's expression, and did not find anything wrong, so he said: That's it, that's it. It's a matter of great importance. No matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious. So in the past few days, please The young master continues to stay at the Xinghua Inn. I will not disturb the young master’s rest. I will retire...

Don't worry, village chief, I will never leave the village these days.

Li Nuo opened his eyes seriously and told lies.

The village chief left the inn with a smile on his face. There were many more people near the inn than usual, and their eyes secretly glanced at the inn from time to time.

Obviously, the village chief was still not at ease, so he sent someone to keep an eye on Li Nuo.

But how could he know that it was all wrong from the beginning. It’s really so powerful that it makes you stupid!

Li Nuo smiled noncommittally, and after watching the village chief leave, he went upstairs and entered the guest room.

It was not until midnight that Wang Liuzi came back from outside, looking very worried.

Is there any harvest?

Li Nuo made a cup of tea and handed it to Wang Liuzi.

In order to run errands for Li Nuo, Wang Liuzi didn't even have time to drink a sip of water all day long.

He gratefully took the cup and drank it in one gulp.

Young Master, I ran to the town quickly and went to Qingfeng Tower to find out the news. Prince Consort Zheng indeed used the connections of the Princess Mansion to investigate an arson case sixteen years ago...

Although Princess Taiping is not favored, there is no problem in asking the Ministry of Justice to review the cases from sixteen years ago. Come on, wet your mouth and speak carefully.

Li Nuo made another cup of tea for Wang Liuzi.

He did not deliberately act like a courteous and virtuous corporal so that Wang Liuzi would work for him wholeheartedly.

But he had already regarded Wang Liuzi as one of his own.

But the impact of this move on Wang Liuzi was huge.

He felt respect for him from Li Nuo, unpretentious respect.

This is really difficult for people at the bottom of this era to understand.

Deep in his heart, he couldn't help but feel that a scholar will die for his confidant.

Wang Liuzi took the teacup heavily and drank it in one gulp.

He continued: Zheng Prince Consort has released news both officially and on the street. As long as someone provides the whereabouts of the survivors, he is willing to give the Zheng family's heirloom. However, these days, the court is busy giving Zhao Quan The conviction was to appease the people of Jiangnan, so I didn’t take his matter to heart.”

So that's the case, no wonder he didn't receive the message. It's a shame that no one cares about Zheng Qinwen.

The imperial court has no interest in Zheng Baisheng's affairs, which are all from the old almanac hundreds of years ago.

Even if there is a treasure, I'm afraid it will have been corroded and weathered long ago. There is no need to waste a lot of effort on something vague and unknown.

Only those greedy people in the world would covet the treasures left by Zheng Baisheng.

By the way, young master, Beizi was in the town, and I seemed to have seen Prince Consort Zheng. After just a quick glance, he disappeared. I don't know if it was him...

Wang Liuzi told everything he had heard about in the town. As for whether it was true or false, he naturally left it to the young master to judge by himself.

Is Zheng Qinwen here?

Li Nuo's pupils suddenly shrank and he murmured.

It is really possible for Zheng Qinwen to come to Anning Village.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not pay attention to this matter. But it's different now. Zheng Qinwen has a relationship with Zheng Baisheng, which means he also has a relationship with Qiluo. Of course, he has to take care of it to the end.

You've been tired for a day, go down and rest first, and leave the rest to me.

Seeing Wang Liuzi's tired look, Li Nuo said.

Then resign from your humble position first!

Wang Liuzi left the room respectfully.

Li Nuo walked to the open window sill and glanced casually from the corner of his eye. He saw many villagers wandering around nearby with their heads protruding.

Qiluo.

Li Nuo smiled disdainfully, closed the window, and went to find Qiluo in the next room.

Uncle, are we going to make a big fuss in Tianjian Mountain?

Qiluo's eyes sparkled and she looked extremely excited!

Jiang Ran'er also stared at Li Nuo closely. Her happiness depends entirely on her brother.

Looking at these two restless masters, Li Nuo shook his head and said with a smile: I just know how to fight and kill! I told you to wait for two days.

Then what are you doing here? Are you looking for us to play outside? There is no place to play in this shabby village.

Qiluo curled her lips and immediately became listless.

Li Nuo said angrily: Let me ask you something. After you got together with your family, did your father give you any family tokens?

Yes, uncle, look at it.

Qiluo lifted up her clothes, revealing a pure bead, her eyes full of showing off.

Your father really gave you the [Shui Ling Jade]?

Li Nuo was slightly surprised.

Qiluo's father also mentioned this matter before, but he thought it was just talk.

In the arson case sixteen years ago, it was with this [Water Spirit Jade] that the Qiluo family escaped the disaster. Logically speaking, such a precious thing should be passed down from male to female. I never expected that, Qiluo's father would be so generous.

perhaps.

I think it was also to make up for the debt to Qiluo.

After all, they were the ones who failed to protect Qiluo who was playing outside the house. If the Dugu Great Sword Master hadn't come to the rescue, Qiluo Jedi would have perished in the sea of ​​fire.

Hehe, yes. Daddy is so kind to me!

Qiluo laughed happily, and then said mysteriously, Uncle, let me tell you a secret. Our Zheng family actually has a total of five jade pendants like this. The treasure map is gone, but the treasures are still there. Only when they are collected Only these five can open the treasure. But over the years, three have been lost.

So you have two in your hands? Besides the water spirit jade, what is the other one that is also in the hands of your family?

Li Nuo asked.

I heard from dad that I still have an uncle, but he changed his name and left the village thirty years ago. Dad also said that my uncle is the only hope for our Zheng family!

Of course, Qiluo didn't have any guard against Li Nuo, so she told the secret.

Zheng Qinwen passed the Jinshi examination thirty years ago and then married Princess Taiping. This time is just right, it seems that he is Qiluo's uncle without a doubt.

Give me the jade pendant to play with.

After thinking about the matter, Li Nuo said.

Qiluo took off the bead and threw it to Li Nuo, saying proudly, Uncle, is this jade pendant not worse than your [water-proof bead]?

The [Water Avoidance Bead] can only avoid water, but your Water Spirit Jade, in addition to this function, can also summon water sources, and can even help with practice. It is a rare treasure.

Li Nuo pinched the water-avoiding bead and immediately felt the surging energy inside...

If a monk who practices water-based skills wears this jade all year round, it can indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort!

I'm going out and I'll be back soon. You all stay in the inn and don't go anywhere. Don't get into any conflict with the villagers.

Li Nuo gave an instruction, and then used the Confucian magical power [Transformation] to appear outside the village.

For him who is in the [Fourth Level of Literary and Taoist Realm], this kind of Confucianism can be easily performed. As long as it was not in front of the scholar, no one in this village would notice the fluctuation of his literary power.

Out of the village.

Li Nuo immediately strode to the town.

Half an hour later.

He stood at the highest point of the town, his perception quietly blooming.

Within a quarter of an hour, Zheng Qinwen's figure fell into his sight.

As expected of a man who has endured for twenty-eight years, Prince Consort Zheng is also cautious.

Li Nuo smiled slightly, and then with a thought in his mind, his literary power blossomed, and he appeared in front of the abandoned City God's Temple.

At this moment, a sharp sword stabbed directly from the crack in the door. But it stopped two inches in front of Li Nuo.

Consort Zheng, I haven't seen you for several months. How are you?

Li Nuo laughed.

Zian?

The door was pushed open, and Zheng Qinwen looked at Li Nuo with surprise.

it's me.

Li Nuo nodded.

Zheng Qinwen took back the Junzi Sword and said in disbelief: Zian, it's really you! But why are you here? Didn't you go to southern Xinjiang to suppress the rebellion?

Li Nuo replied: I'm going to Tianjian Mountain, and I happened to pass by Anning Village.

An Ning Village!

Zheng Qinwen's eyes widened and he asked anxiously, Have you been there?

Well, I also met someone.

Li Nuo said meaningfully.

When Zheng Qinwen saw this, he knew that Li Nuo already knew something, and his breathing quickened: She...is really in Anning Village?

Yes and no.

Li Nuo took up Zen.

Zian, this matter is very important to me, so please be honest with me.

Zheng Qinwen smiled bitterly.

Li Nuo walked into the City God's Temple calmly: There is a big problem in Anning Village. You were right not to enter the village directly, otherwise you would have stepped into the trap they set.

Zheng Qinwen hurriedly followed in, raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: How did you know?

Haha, what a coincidence. The village chief mistook me for your cheap son, so I took advantage of him and met with the woman this morning. However, she was a fake.

Li Nuo explained.

With a creak, Zheng Qinwen closed the dilapidated temple door again, with doubts on his brows: How did you tell that she was a fake?

It just so happens that she is an old friend of mine.

Li Nuo sighed, She told me frankly that the village chief asked her to pretend to be the woman you are looking for.

So this clue is still false... Zheng Qinwen looked extremely disappointed, Hey, I knew it would be easier said than done to find her...

Consort Zheng, do you have a token in hand?

Li Nuo suddenly asked.

What token?

Zheng Qinwen looked confused. As expected of an old fox, there is no flaw in his expression.

But Li Nuo felt that Zheng Qinwen's legs suddenly stiffened.

Li Nuo stopped teasing him and directly took out the water spirit jade and said with a smile: A token like this.

Shui Ling Jade!

Zheng Qinwen couldn't help but exclaimed, and said tremblingly, Zian, where did you get this jade pendant?

Li Nuo did not answer directly: Prince-in-law, my sincerity has been fulfilled, now it's your turn.

At this point, Zheng Qinwen naturally had no way out. He tremblingly took out a jade pendant that was crystal clear and as red as fire.

Fire jade!

Zian, as you think, the ancestor of our family is none other than Zheng Baisheng, who dominated the world back then.

Zheng Qinwen admitted generously.

In this way, we are our own people.

Seeing the genuine Huo Lingyu, Li Nuo's only worry was eliminated.

Is she still alive?

Zheng Qinwen was so excited that his voice trembled.

Not only is she alive, her parents and brother also survived the fire sixteen years ago.

Li Nuo said with great emotion.

Are they okay? Where do they live?

Zheng Qinwen burst into tears.

In this way, he is not alone in this world.

They live in Yingtian Mansion and have all changed their names...

Li Nuo briefly talked about the situation of Zheng Shengzhi's family.

Okay, okay! I can't repay Zi'an for your great kindness, so I will give you this fire jade!

Zheng Qinwen said firmly.

He also looked away.

Keeping these spiritual jade is a disaster!

It's better to hand it over, so those people won't try to take advantage of them anymore.

In this way, he can also be reunited with his relatives!

but……

The head of Anning Village actually lied to him!

Are they after the Fire Spirit Jade in his hand, or are they the murderers who set the fire back then?

Thinking of this, Zheng Qinwen looked at Li Nuo.

And Li Nuo's eyes happened to meet his.

Prince-in-law, please be patient. Now that I'm here, I will naturally get to the bottom of this matter. No one can escape the murderer!

Li Nuo was decisive.

In his mind, he was almost eighty percent sure that the people in Anning Village were the murderers who pretended to be horse bandits and set fire to the village sixteen years ago!
