At the critical moment, Feng Jiuyou resisted the urge to throw Lin Xun out.He stood there with a straight face, motionless, and looked like a silent and dull person.

The old lady was very pleased with his reticence, and asked Lin Xun, "I think he is young and strong, how did you persuade him to come here?"

Lin Xun pointed to his head, "He has a problem."

As he spoke, he walked forward and whispered: "This person has only his brother and sister-in-law left in his family. After they received the money, they promised not to spread the matter to the outside world, as if there was no such person."

The old lady nodded, called Butler Zhang into the room, explained a few words to him, and walked out the door.Lin Xun paid more attention to the girl who reminded him to be careful that day, she put on a little makeup, and her every move was dominated by the old lady, but she would show a sad face inadvertently.

After the old lady walked out the door, Steward Zhang told Lin Xun to wait where he was, not to walk around indiscriminately, and prepare money for him by himself.

He went out, Feng Jiuyou immediately said, with a sarcasm in his tone, "Aren't you afraid that he will turn around and kill people?"

Lin Xun shook his head: "As a matchmaker, you deal more with people. If a living person suddenly disappears, there is no guarantee that the government will not find them in the end. Wouldn't it be a firestorm?"

"This place is not clean and smells like blood."

Hearing this, Lin Xun looked up at him.

"The paint on the gate smells of blood, but it's not sure if it's human blood."

Lin Xun nodded, but he was a little surprised in his heart. No one in the Feng family can be underestimated. These days, all he noticed was Feng Jiuyou's appearance in front of Feng Yu, but he forgot that Feng Jiuyou himself was a catch fast.To paraphrase Fang Yun, he is still a policeman proficient in interrogation.

He thought that no one would notice the weirdness of that door except himself.

While Lin Xun was thinking, Steward Zhang had already fetched the money. He opened the money bag and took a quick look, squinting his eyes and smiling, as if quite satisfied.

Feng Jiuyou watched Lin Xun take the money, then patted him on the shoulder, "This will be your second home from now on."

There was no fluctuation in his eyes, in fact, the raging waves in his heart wanted to drown Lin Xun directly.

After collecting the money, Lin Xun walked away gracefully.

With money, his walking posture is like a peacock, and he hums a little song, of course not a single note is in tune, scaring away the sparrows that are looking for food on the branches.At a corner, he was suddenly dragged into a dark alley.

With beautiful eyes without panic, he stood calmly in the alley where the light was not shining.

Feng Yu: "Not afraid?"

Lin Xun still couldn't see his face clearly at this time, and said seriously: "I'm a little excited."

After moving a few steps, I recognized the person coming, "It turned out to be you."

"..."

Feng Yu suddenly bent down, Lin Xun took a step back, and saw white fingers hooking up the purse, "I'm so excited that you don't even want it?"

Lin Xun took it over, "I'm testing you."

After confirming that the purse was really packed this time, he said, "Mr. Feng is really a gentleman."

In order to deceive others, they took a detour from the back alley. Lin Xun saw that he was not wearing a Taoist robe, and asked, "Why don't you just go in and do a practice?"

"Jiuyou's presence is enough."

Lin Xun: "If that's the case, why make a special trip?"

"Xiao Yuchun's parents came back from offering incense, and he is leaving today," Feng Yu said, "I also visited Xiao's residence."

Lin Xun: "Where is the Xiao Mansion?"

"South of the city."

"This is the north of the city."

Feng Yu nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Lin Xun has never broken the habit of asking the truth about the casserole. He opened his mouth and asked another matter, "Xiao Yuchun said at the dinner party that day that there was also Xiao's land in the north of the city."

"To be precise," Feng Yu stopped in his tracks, "The families who had the accident all belonged to the Xiao family in the past."

Lin Xun was aroused: "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

"When the war was pacified, the people were not displaced, but many families lost their only male. These families were in the most miserable situation. There were only women, children and children left in the family, and even food and housing were problems."

Lin Xun: "But according to the current situation, the Cao family can be regarded as a big family."

Not only the Cao family, but the other families are not too bad.

"Because the Xiao family sold the land in the north of the city to them at a very low price, five of the eight families later went into business, and the Xiao family also helped them a lot."

Lin Xun: "How low is it?"

"Ten pennies."

Lin Xun was startled.

"The Xiao family's move has won the reputation of benevolence. The good talk about the ten-pence coin has been spread in the streets and alleys, and even the imperial court has given a special plaque to commend it."

Lin Xun: "Based on what you know about the Xiao family, besides gaining fame, is there any other intentions?"

While speaking, the sun dimmed a lot, and the dark clouds piled up and crowded in. It is estimated that there will be heavy rain soon, Feng Yu started to walk again, and said to him as he walked: "Whether there is any deep meaning, only the person concerned knows, but Uncle Xiao After that, I firmly believed in Buddhism and went to the temple to worship every now and then."

Lin Xun: "Where is the temple?"

"The Jedi Temple outside the city." Feng Yu said, "It's going to rain soon, so now is not the time to go."

Lin Xun said with a smile: "Fodu has a predestined person, so don't ask if the time is right."

He didn't go back to Feng Mansion, but rented a horse in the nearest suburb. Feng Yu didn't stop him, but reminded him: "When you come back, return the horse first, and then go back to the mansion."

Lin Xun: "I paid the rent until tomorrow."

Feng Yu: "If Stepping Snow Horse sees you taking other horses back home, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

Lin Xun nodded and asked the boss how to get to the Jedi Temple.

Feng Yu shook his head at him, then rented a horse, got on the horse and said, "Let's go."

The two horses galloped in the mountains, one in front and the other behind. After a short walk, a few drops of rain fell. Before anyone could react, the rain seemed to be pouring directly from mid-air. When they arrived at the Jedi Temple, it was three or four What happened two hours later, the whole body was drenched, and the sky was completely dark.

The heavy rain hit, except for those who lived in the temple, the rest of the pilgrims had already returned. As soon as Lin Xun and Feng Yu got off their horses, a young monk ran over against the rain and helped them pull their horses in.

Lin Xun said that he can come by himself, "Why doesn't the little master open an umbrella?"

The little monk said seriously: "Master said, this is also practice."

Lin Xun smiled and shook his head: "Did your master tell you that you will be prone to typhoid fever?"

The little monk was stupefied, Lin Xun had already walked in front of him, and the colorful clothes were soaked by the rain, and the colors seemed to be glued together.

"Trouble master." Lin Xun turned his head, the flower mask was dripping water, "We want to visit the abbot here in person."

The little monk shook his head: "Master is meditating, so I don't see any visitors now."

The abbot of the Jedi Temple is highly respected, and there are many people who visit on weekdays, some even come from far away, but the abbot only receives three or four pilgrims at most every day, and many pilgrims who cannot see will have disputes.The little monk was a little nervous. After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear a word of complaint. Looking up again, Lin Xun raised his head in meditation and asked the very handsome man in white:

"Should we just stand here and do our best, or break in?"

Little monk: ...

Feng Yu took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to the young monk, "Please pass this on to your master."

Lin Xun didn't take it seriously at first, until he saw the bright red corner of the jade pendant clearly, his eyes changed, and when he wanted to take a closer look, the little monk had already walked inside with the jade pendant, as if he wanted to send a message.

"That jade pendant... is yours?"

Feng Yu nodded.

"Is it a peony?"

Feng Yu said 'en'.

I don't know if it was because of being exposed to the rain for too long, Lin Xun felt a little dizzy.

[System: The host once swore that it would be romantic to die under the peony flower and be a ghost. 】

Lin Xun: "Do you believe the man's nonsense?"

【system:……】

The two of them hid from the rain under the eaves, and after a while, the little monk trotted over, "Two benefactors, Master is here to invite you."

In a very clean meditation room, the abbot is sitting on the futon with a jade pendant next to him.

"Amitabha, the last time we met, the benefactor was still a child."

Feng Yu returned a salute, "It's been a few years, master."

"Decades are like a day." He personally poured two cups of hot tea for Feng Yu and Lin Xun to drive away the cold, and said to Lin Xun, "This benefactor, why don't you sit down?"

Lin Xun pointed to the sleeve that was still dripping.

"It doesn't matter." The abbot said.

Lin Xun did not flirt with him, sat down, and winked at Feng Yu, "Know?"

"My father was a good friend of Master Jue Ku during his lifetime."

The abbot said: "My father is a rare open-minded person who takes life and death very lightly."

Feng Yu: "To be honest, I came today to ask the master for advice."

The abbot chanted Amitabha, and shook his head: "The poor monk is practicing in the temple, and he probably doesn't know as much as the benefactor."

Feng Yu picked up the teacup, but didn't bring it to his lips. With a slight shake, a lot of water droplets flew out and landed on the table, finally spelling the word 'Xiao'.

The abbot's expression changed. After a long time, his eyes fell on Lin Xun, who stood up: "If you don't mind, I want to visit other places in the temple?"

Abbot, "My little disciple is in the meditation room next door. You can call him if you need it."

Lin Xun nodded, his eyes seemed to glance at the peony jade pendant unintentionally, and then he closed the door.

He didn't go very far, he stood under the tree and watched the horses, and not long after, he saw Feng Yu coming from the rain, dressed in white and with black hair, very suitable for the occasion.

"Can we go?"

Feng Yu nodded, and when he got out of the temple, he said, "I'm afraid you have to go back to the mansion alone."

Lin Xun: "Are you going to be ordained as a monk here?"

Feng Yu glanced at him: "Go to Medicine Valley."

Lin Xun didn't like the place full of snakes.

When the two were about to part ways on horseback, Feng Yu suddenly took out a heavy money bag and threw it to him: "When I'm not at home, use the money in it to eat, drink and have fun, and don't do other things."

To put it more clearly, it is to let him not cause trouble.

Lin Xun took the money bag and nodded in agreement.

The money Feng Yu gave was more than enough. In the next few days, Lin Xun ate everything in the city. Today, ten bowls of wontons, eight cages of steamed buns, together with the wine from the Juju Bureau and the desserts from Zhang Ji, the days are very exciting. Refreshing.

And the meal cooks also spoke highly of Lin Xun. Not only can one person contract the whole day's income, but they also give some rewards from time to time. Some people simply move the shop to a nearby place so that it is convenient for him to order food.

On the first day of the new year, Feng Yu rushed back from Medicine Valley. The horse he rode was traveling at an extremely fast speed. When he was approaching the mansion, the usually empty road was bustling with people, and many stoves were still smoking. .

Feng Yu had no choice but to get off the horse, all kinds of food smells intertwined in the air, such as stinky tofu, cross-bridge rice noodles, everything, the originally extremely quiet environment was broken by shouts.

At first, I suspected that I had gone the wrong way, but I was not sure until I saw the plaque on the closed mansion in the distance.Going forward, Feng Yu found that there was still a huge banner in front of him. The writing on it was flying like a rainbow, across the entire street outside his house——

A street of snacks.
