With such doubts, Shen Niannian stayed here calmly.

It's not that she doesn't want to leave this place, but that she tried several times at night and her spiritual power was greatly restricted.

Several times she had soared into the sky, as if she was still one step away from the world of immortality, but at this juncture, another weight suddenly hit her feet, and she fell down again.

Later, she tried to fly away from the realm of Incense City, but every time she reached a critical point, she would be blocked by an invisible barrier.

After doing this several times, she understood that she was trapped in Incense City.

As for how to leave Incense City.

Shen Niannian felt that maybe she had to unravel the strange things in Fenxiang City first.

For the past two days, she had gone to work in the fields with Ruiniang, who was suffering from mute disease.

Ruiniang's family was not the only one working in the fields, but there were also many small families in the city.

Therefore, Shen Niannian relied on his sharp tongue to successfully understand everything around him and what happened in Fenxiang City.

The family that rescued her was named Li, and Ruiniang's father, the middle-aged man, was called Li You.

Li You was pregnant with a child at the age of twenty, and he was quite prosperous in this remote small town.

However, since then, he has repeatedly failed to win. Even now, when he is thirty-five, he has not been selected as a scholar.

So Li You found a job copying books here to supplement his family income.

Li You's wife died of illness two years ago, so the family's farming affairs fell on the shoulders of the second daughter Li Rui.

As for his eldest daughter Li Jiao, his plan was to marry her to a well-established family as his official wife.

Fenxiang City is considered a small town, and the Li family lives on the outskirts of the small town. It is at best a small town within the city.

But this small town was famous decades ago. Even the name Fenxiang City at that time came from this small town.

The town is called Lingxiang Town. Decades ago, there was a family named Gu who made a fortune by making incense.

Speaking of the incense made by the Gu family, it is well-known to every household.

I heard that the incense of the Gu family was once favored by the Tian family and was called tribute incense.

Later, the Gu family became prosperous due to tribute incense, left the town, moved into the city, and opened a workshop.

Gradually, the name of the small town was changed to Incense City.

As for what it was called before that, no one remembers.

Gujiaxiangfang has been prospering for more than ten years and can be said to be at its peak.

But the head of the Gu family gave birth to a son who was a bad gambler.

Everyone knows that there is no cure for a gambling addiction.

As a result, the Gu family has declined since then. After the death of the head of the Gu family, the gambling young master of the Gu family sold the workshop to the Xiao family.

At this point, Gongxiang's secret fell into the hands of the Xiao family.

"Which family is the Xiao family?" When Shen Niannian heard this, he inevitably asked this question.

"You don't even know about the Xiao family?" the neighbor's aunt said with a smile: "The Xiao family is the largest family in the entire Fenxiang City..."

The Xiao family has a prosperous clan and its property is spread all over Fenxiang City and several other large cities and small towns.

However, the name of the Xiao family is not due to its land and real estate, but to the fact that for hundreds of years, the Xiao family has had children from the family become officials.

Since the Xiao family took over the secret recipe of Gongxiang, they have become more prosperous and won the Holy Heart.

However, the clan's honor is only temporary.

I heard that nineteen years ago, the Xiao family workshop suddenly couldn't produce tribute incense.

For this reason, the Tian family was furious and blamed the head of the Xiao family. As a result, the head of the Xiao family was beheaded and the Xiao family fell into silence.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Xiao family's wealth is still coveted in the eyes of outsiders.

Seeing that the aunt was going further and further, Shen Niannian couldn't help but remind her: "Auntie, didn't you say something dirty just now?"

When the aunt first saw her, she covered her mouth and looked shocked.

Later, she told Shen Niannian to be careful and not to be kidnapped by unclean things.

It was the first sentence that led to the conversation between the two.

"Shh!" The aunt carefully gestured to silence, lowered her voice, and said: "You are going to die, don't let that unclean thing listen to you!"

This aunt was also outspoken. Although she was a little afraid of this matter, she still said to Shen Niannian: "You don't know that in the past month, many young girls in our Fenxiang City have disappeared."

"It must be the dead head of the Xiao family who is causing trouble and wants to find some girls to accompany him!"

"How did Auntie know it was him?"

Shen Niannian asked.

"I'm not talking nonsense." The aunt said with assurance: "Many managers of the Xiao family saw the late head of the Xiao family coming out of his courtyard in the middle of the night!"

Speaking of this, she looked around with a hint of fear and panic on her face.

Then he said: "If it weren't for him, the Xiao family would have made great efforts to marry him recently?"

"Isn't the head of the family dead?" Shen Niannian was stunned: "How to get a wife?"

"It's a Yin marriage!" said the aunt, "There are so many people trying to get ahold of the Xiao family! Just the Li family where you live now..."

In the middle of her words, she suddenly saw Li You walking towards here, and immediately fell silent and stopped talking to Shen Niannian.

Shen Niannian learned a little about this strange thing, but it was not enough.

So in the evening, she quietly inquired with others.

It turns out that the disappearance of young girls happened more than a month ago. To this day, about seven or eight girls have disappeared.

Some people also said that she had a nose and eyes, but he only said that he saw with his own eyes that the head of the Xiao family abducted the young girl.

Regarding this, Shen Niannian didn't know whether it was true or false.

At first she thought it was a lie. After all, the head of the Xiao family was an official at the time. How could his face be so well known to people in this remote town?

But after questioning, Shen Niannian learned that they had indeed met the head of the Xiao family.

Twenty years ago, the head of the Xiao family came to Lingxiang Town to control the floods.

At that time, he stayed in Lingxiang Town for nearly two months to repair ditches.

And that's why the people in this town are so familiar with the appearance of the head of the Xiao family.

There was just one thing, Shen Niannian was really confused.

That is about the name of the head of the Xiao family.

Some people say that the head of the family is called Xiao Yu, but others say that he is called Xiao Jue.

It wasn't until Shen Niannian asked Li Jiao about this matter that he got the most reliable answer.

It turns out that the head of the Xiao family who died nineteen years ago was named Xiao Jue. Because Xiao Jue had no children, Mrs. Xiao only had his only son.

So, after his death, the Xiao family adopted a man from a side branch and recorded him in the name of Mrs. Xiao. In this way, the Xiao family passed the inheritance to this adopted son.

And this adopted son is now the head of the Xiao family, that is, Xiao Yu.

But unlike the previous head of the family, Xiao Yu now has no official title, and his only role is to support the Xiao family.

It is precisely because of this that everyone's impression of Xiao Yu, who has no sense of existence, is confused with that of Xiao Jue, who was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Just, after sorting out the two.

Another sentence Li Jiao said made Shen Niannian stunned for a while.
