The master said not to judge people by their appearance

"Liar? How could the master be a liar?" Wang Tai was stunned to understand why Shen Fan said that suddenly, but Xie Yunlan understood. He rubbed his brows, thinking how this guy could hold grudges so much.

He waved his hand, signaling Wang Tai and Wei Chengzhi to go out first, and when they were all gone, he sat next to Shen Fan, coughed lightly, and said, "I was wrong about the previous thing, I shouldn't treat you as a liar."

In fact, Xie Yunlan is not sure that what Shen Fan said is true, but the candlelight that just appeared out of thin air in Shen Fan's palm can no longer be explained by ordinary mechanisms. Guessing that Shen Fan does have some skills, Xie Yunlan thought about it first. Let's talk about it after coaxing people.

"After all, I saved your life just now, why not just make it even?" He said.

"I don't need your help." Shen Fan looked at him, "But you need me, it's not fair."

"Then..." Xie Yunlan thought about it, thinking of the experience of coaxing Shen Fan last time, and said, "Wufangzhai's peanut candy is also famous, when it was first made, the aroma of peanuts and candy could fill the whole street. How about taking you to eat freshly baked peanut candy?"

Shen Fan's indifferent expression was slightly loosened by the peanut candy, but he thought about it and shook his head.

This trick is not easy to use, yes, things like peanut candy can also coax little girls.Xie Yunlan frowned, and when she was worried, she heard Shen Fan say, "I still need a pack of freshly baked chestnut flour cake."

Xie Yunlan: "..."

Shen Fan: "You disagree?"

"No..." Xie Yunlan looked at Shen Fan, and thought that although this guy was delicate and held grudges, he was surprisingly easy to coax.

"Since it's agreed, the master will go back to the room to rest first, and I will take you to the Mu Mansion tomorrow." Xie Yunlan said.

"Aren't you going tonight?" Shen Fan reminded him, "All signs indicate that the arrangement of the heart demon is almost completed, and time is running out."

"There is a curfew at night, it is inconvenient to go out, and the corpse disappeared so quickly, it shows that someone is paying close attention to every move in Beijing. Our actions at night are too conspicuous, and it is easy to fall into a passive position." Xie Yunlan was telling the truth. There are also some truths that he didn't tell, for example, he hasn't decided whether he really believes in Shen Fan.

"Okay." Shen Fan and Xie Yunlan walked out of the house. Wang Tai and Wei Chengzhi were standing in the courtyard talking. What Wei Chengzhi had heard before were brief descriptions. Wang Tai took advantage of Shen Fan and Xie Yunlan's conversation to detail what happened tonight I talked about it again and again, and now it was just at the end, when the third monster that had been hiding for a long time suddenly exploded.

"I didn't even realize it. I just watched the monster rushing towards the master. These monsters are so cunning that they even hid one of them. Thanks to Lord Hou, who arrived in time, he shot the monster in the eye with an arrow, otherwise the master would have been killed." It's dangerous." Wang Tai suddenly realized a problem while talking, he saw Xie Yunlan coming out, and asked casually, "Master Hou, why did you appear suddenly? Did you come here specially to find us?"

Xie Yunlan denied, "I just happened to pass by and heard the noise and went to have a look."

He didn't even know that Shen Fan left, it was indeed just a coincidence.

But Wang Tai still felt something was wrong: "Master Hou, why are you riding a horse and carrying a bow? You came back after the curfew? What did you do in the afternoon? You went hunting rabbits outside the city?"

Wang Tai's guess is well-founded, because he saw the noose used for beating rabbits on Xie Yunlan's horseback.

"Master Hou, why do you think of hunting rabbits so well? Could it be that you are going to participate in some kind of rabbit hunting meeting..." Wang Tai couldn't continue his analysis because Xie Yunlan gave him a glare.

"Don't ask about things that have nothing to do with you!" Xie Yunlan said coldly.

"Oh..." Wang Tai shut up.

Shen Fan didn't know what rabbit hunting was, and he didn't care about hunting rabbits, so he went back to rest on his own.

"Go and rest too." Xie Yunlan said to Wang Tai.

Wang Tai's injury is not serious, but he really needs to rest, and he is convinced by Shen Fan, Xie Yunlan doesn't want to listen to Wang Tai's brainless flattery, he needs to talk to a more rational person.

"Sir, what do you think of tonight's events?" Xie Yunlan and Wei Chengzhi went to the study and asked alone.

Wei Chengzhi had been silent when Shen Fan was talking about it before, but now he pondered and commented: "Unbelievable, unheard of."

"Master Hou believes what he said?" He asked back.

"I saw it with my own eyes." Xie Yunlan frowned, "That black shadow really doesn't look like an ordinary beast."

"Could it be some kind of blindfold? Or a mechanism?" Wei Chengzhi asked again.

"Maybe, I really didn't see it too clearly in the dark night, but how to explain the fire just now?" Xie Yunlan said, "You saw it too, this is not something that can be done by tricks or blindfolds."

"Maybe he does have some skills, but what he said may not be all true." Wei Chengzhi said, "Master Hou has noticed that he is hiding something."

When Xie Yunlan asked who Shen Fan was, Shen Fan only said that he was a man of destiny, but he didn't know the details of his origin.Xie Yunlan naturally noticed this, but he didn't pursue it to the end.

"Even in the martial arts, there are some sects that require disciples not to reveal the origin of the master when they go out for a walk, lest they cause trouble to the master. If he really comes from some kind of hidden fairy sect, he can understand without saying anything." Xie Yunlan said.

Wei Chengzhi looked at Xie Yunlan for a while, and said, "Master Hou, you are already inclined to believe him."

Xie Yunlan did not deny that he has always acted decisively, but when it comes to his sister and nephew, he still has a little hesitation in his heart at this moment.

After talking with Wei Chengzhi, Xie Yunlan sat in the study for another night. When it was dawn, he went out of the house to go to court. At the same time, he sent several people to check the information of the missing woman in Beijing for nearly half a year.

When the morning was over and they returned home, the people who had gone out to inquire about the news also came back.

"Master Hou, the time is too short. I don't know if those missing women have been to the Temple of Longevity, but they are indeed pregnant." The subordinate said.

"How many people are there?" Xie Yunlan asked.

The subordinate said: "There are 33 people who have reported the case, and it is not clear about those who have not reported the case."

"33 people? Are they all pregnant?" Xie Yunlan asked in surprise, "Why didn't Ting Wei's people notice the abnormality?"

Considering the population of central Beijing, 33 people disappeared within half a year is a bit too much, and all of them are pregnant women. It is almost obvious that something is wrong with this matter.

The subordinate replied: "I heard from Ting Wei's people that they also felt that something was wrong, and they reported it to His Majesty a long time ago, asking for instructions to search the murderer in the whole city, but His Majesty asked the next national teacher, and the national teacher said everything in Beijing Well, the disappearance of these pregnant women is just an accident, there is no need to make a big move, your Majesty will not be allowed to play."

It was Li Henian again.Xie Yunlan frowned, he hesitated all night, and the news he heard now finally made him make a final decision.

Now that he has decided to do it, he no longer has any hesitation, Xie Yunlan acted vigorously, and immediately went to the backyard to look for Shen Fan.

Shen Fan just got up and was sitting on the swing basking in the sun, his whole body was lazy, and when Xie Yunlan said that he was going to the Mu Mansion to get rid of the demon fetus, he just said "oh", and slowly started to get up.

"On the way to Mu's Mansion, I will take you to Wufangzhai to buy peanut candy." Xie Yunlan said.

Shen Fan's movements became faster.

Xie Yunlan: "There is also chestnut flour cake."

Shen Fan's movements became faster.

Xie Yunlan: "If you go late, you won't be able to buy it."

Shen Fan was ready and said to Xie Yunlan, "Let's go."

Wang Tai had already loaded the car, and the two got into the car and set off.In order to save time, Xie Yunlan sent people to line up at the entrance of Wufangzhai in advance. They drove there, and after waiting for a while, Qing Yu handed over the chestnut flour cake and peanut candy he had bought.

"Taste it quickly, Master, it's freshly baked and still steaming!"

Shen Fan first tasted a piece of peanut candy, and thought it was good, but not particularly amazing. He also tasted the chestnut powder cake. Yesterday, the syrup cooled and solidified into lumps. Instead of being fluffy, it tasted a bit harsh. Today, it feels like But it's completely different. One bite, the warm syrup flows on the tip of the tongue, soaking the mouth full of sweetness.

Qing Yu: "Master, what do you think of today's chestnut flour cake?"

Shen Fan nodded: "It's delicious."

Qing Yu said with a smile: "Wufangzhai's chestnut flour cakes are famous all over the capital. When I was buying cakes just now, I heard an interesting story from the shop assistant. Yesterday, Marquis Wen'an rounded up all the chestnut flour cakes in Wufangzhai. Come to hold a rabbit hunting meeting, the king who hunts the rabbit can get a thousand taels of silver, many heroes and knights who are well-known in the world went to participate, but those heroes were defeated by an unknown person, I heard that that person Tall and tall, with excellent archery skills, he hits a hundred shots, but he doesn't register or show his face. He wears a mask all the time, which is very strange. What's even more strange is that after he won the first prize, he didn't want a thousand taels of silver, but only asked Wen Anhou for one. Pack the chestnut flour cake and go."

Rabbit hunting club, chestnut flour cake, Master Hou who suddenly left the city yesterday to hunt rabbits... Qingyu didn't know that Xie Yunlan went out to hunt rabbits yesterday, so he hadn't linked these things together yet, but Wang Tai, who was sitting in front of the car, immediately Just thought of it, he wanted to talk, but he remembered the stare from Xie Yunlan last night, so he shut up embarrassingly.

But Shen Fan also knew about these things. After Qing Yu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Xie Yunlan.

Xie Yunlan looked natural, as if the people in the story had nothing to do with him, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Fan blinked: "Nothing."

He suddenly smiled, picked up a piece of chestnut powder cake and handed it to Xie Yunlan's mouth: "Here you eat."

Xie Yunlan reflexively refused. This kind of sweet and greasy pastry is only liked by women and children. He never ate it, but he didn't know if he was bewitched by Shen Fan's smile. After hesitating for a moment, he touched Shen Fan's hand, He opened his mouth and ate the pastry.

The syrup smacks on the tip of the tongue, which is very sweet.Xie Yunlan looked at Shen Fan and thought.
