When Yifu heard that Qi Ning was about to leave Xichuan and return to Beijing, her face changed slightly, but immediately squeezed out a smile and said softly: "You have been in Xichuan for a long time. The matter here has been done, and it's time to go back. The family in the capital must be very concerned about you."

"It's not the only one to go back." Qi Ning held Yifu's tenderness tightly and said softly: "I'm going to tell your brother today that he will marry you to me. You have followed me to Beijing and met the family of the Marquis's family. I report to the Grandmaster, and then start preparing for the marriage. When the other side is ready, I will send someone to invite your brother and the elders of the clan to come over. Yes, there is also the King of Miao. This time there is no time to meet him. I can only wait until our wedding and ask him to go to the capital to host the wedding for us."

Yifu was stunned, and a trace of tears appeared in her eyes: "You really want to marry a wild woman like me?"

"Wild woman?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "So what about the wild woman? My sister Yifu is kind-hearted and strong-willed, and she is as beautiful as a flower. She is the blessing I have cultivated in my previous life. I am just afraid that you will dislike me and will not marry."

Yifu bit her red lips and leaned against Qi Ning's arms, her voice trembling: "I feel so happy when you say this."

"When the sky is dawn, we will go find your brother." Qi Ning said: "You don't have to prepare anything. You can buy it when you arrive in the capital."

Ef whispered: "But I can't go with you now."

Qi Ning was stunned and frowned and said, "Don't you want to marry me?"

"No." Yifu said quietly: "We Miao women have been together. Since I have become yours, in this life, you are the only man. Even if you want to run away, you can't run away."

Qi Ning laughed and said, "That's it."

Yifu whispered: "But Heiyanling was besieged by officers and soldiers before, and the people in the village have not yet come to peace of mind. And the real murderer behind the scenes who framed us Heiyan Cave behind him has not been found. You have cracked their trajectory this time. Will they make a comeback? Brother, brother, are you honest in nature? Do you have any capable helpers around me?"

"Are you worried that if there is any accident, the Lord of Bayeri Cave alone will not be able to deal with it?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "How dare those thieves be unfavorable to Black Rock Cave?"

Yifu sighed softly, "I'm afraid they won't frame Heiyan Cave again, but if I don't find the real murderer, I will not feel at ease even if I go to the capital with you. Over the years, I have been with my brother to take care of the six villages of Heiyan Cave together. My brother is used to having me help him cook next to him!" Seeing that Qi Ning's face looked a little bad, he held his big hand with his back hand and said softly: "Don't worry, since Yifu has become your woman, this heart is only with you. Even on the day of his death, there is only you in his heart."

Qi Ning immediately interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense."

Yifu smiled slightly and said, "I want to go to the capital with you, but the Black Rock Cave is now inseparable from Brother, and Brother can't live without me. If I leave at this time, Brother will not stop me, but!" Youyou sighed and just said softly: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Qi Ning frowned and said, "You mean, only by finding the real murderer behind the framed Black Rock Cave can you leave here?"

Yifu said: "At least it's not the time to leave now. I want to be with you too, but I can't leave my brother and the Heiyan Cave Six Villages behind."

Qi Ning sighed, then clenched his fists, and said with a firm look, "Sister Yifu, don't worry, even if the thieves want to stop doing this, the court will not let them go. After I return to the capital, I will not only let the emperor exempt you from your tax burden, but also let the court send someone to thoroughly investigate the matter. I will never give up until I find the real murderer behind the scenes."

There was a look of gratitude in Yifu's eyes. Qi Ning gently put Yifu in her arms and said softly: "I know your temperament. You are a responsible woman. Now that you are my woman, I will naturally share your burden for you. Give me some time and I will pull out the real murderer behind the scenes."

Yifu said softly, "I know you can do it. When the real murderer is found and brought to justice, I will definitely be with you."

Qi Ning hugged Yifu tightly and kissed her forehead.

When it was dawn, Qi Ning went to see Bayerli and gave instructing him that he immediately asked Qi Feng and others to leave Heiyanling and go to Chengdu first.

Bayerli and Yifu led their men to send Qi Ning and others out of Heiyanling. Qi Ning and Yifu were reluctant to leave. When they left Heiyanling, Qi Feng was carrying something on his back and wrapped in a black robe. Everyone didn't know what it was. After going down the mountain, the group rode their horses to Chengdu.

More than a day on the way, they arrived in Chengdu at dusk. After entering the city, Qi Ning ordered Qi Feng and others to go directly to the official office, and he went straight to the governor's mansion.

After hearing the report, Wei Shutong immediately came out and bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and go to the inner hall to use tea!"

The two entered the main hall. After they sat down, Wei Shutong sent the retreating person to sit down on the chair beside Qining, and whispered: "The Marquis is safe and sound, so the officials are at ease. I have sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Marquis these days, but there has been no news. It is really worrying."

"I am concerned about Lord Lao Wei." Qi Ning smiled and said, "The battle in Qianwuling is thanks to Lord Wei's logistics support."

Wei Shutong picked up the teacup and smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to end so soon. I heard that the Jiuxi Poison King Swing Yi was willing to surrender the law. This was all the achievements of the marquis. Although he did not destroy the Black Lotus Sect this time, being able to bring Swing Yi back to the capital can be considered as a way to the court."

"Mr. Wei, what's going on in Li Hongxin these days?" Qi Ning asked.

When Li Hongxin was mentioned, Wei Shutong looked bad. She put down the teacup and sneered: "I don't know what this person is doing. After Li Yuan's death, the Shu Palace was covered with white banners. The officials thought he was going to hold a funeral and sent someone to pay tribute. Who knew that the gate of the Shu Palace was closed, and all officials of all sizes and gentry and powerful Chengdu were blocked from the gate."

"Oh?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Why is this?"

Wei Shutong snorted coldly and said, "I sent someone to inquire and found out that Li Hongxin was not prepared to bury Li Yuan. Li Hongxin sent someone to create a copper coffin, put Li Yuan's corpse in the copper coffin, and found a master of medicine to put medicine on Li Yuan's corpse to prevent his body from rotting. Now the coffin is said to be placed in the back hall of the Shu Prince's Mansion."

"Bronze coffin?"

Wei Shutong nodded and said, "Xiaoguan heard that Li Hongxin wanted to save Li Yuan's body, claiming that he would not be found for a day, and Li Yuan's coffin would not be buried for a day." He raised his hand and stroked his beard and sneered, "He was obviously coming to Xiaguan. Why not be buried if he didn't find the real murderer? That was to take Xiaguan's life and bury his son with him."

Qi Ning said lightly: "He has the courage to dare to slap Mr. Wei a hair, so the court will let him keep the Li family's family without leaving any other."

Wei Shutong was very happy when he heard Qi Ning say this, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Marquis, Li Hongxin wants to murder the Xiaguan, but he doesn't have the ability." His eyes sharply said, "Since he has tear his face, the Xiaguan and him are not polite. Recently, the Xiaguan has ordered to inspect the Xichuan officers and soldiers. Taking this opportunity, he will definitely remove all the Li family members mixed with the Xichuan officers and soldiers."

"It is natural that Lord Wei wants to clear the sand among the officers and soldiers of Xichuan, but don't be too hasty, so as not to jump to the wall." Qi Ning whispered: "Take your soft knife slowly, don't be anxious. As long as you stare at him to death and make him unable to move, he can't cause any storm."

"The lower official has also submitted a memorial to the emperor and reported the truth about the Black Rock Cave incident." Wei Shu said: "The lower official said it very clearly in the memorial that the Black Rock Cave was framed. Li Hongxin repeatedly urged the lower official to send troops. In order to maintain the rules of the court, the lower official sent troops to siege him. However, he noticed that there was something wrong with it and did not attack easily. The young marquis came to Xichuan and found out that the Black Rock Cave was framed by someone. It was also found that Li Yuan was acting powerful in the Black Rock Cave and exploited the people of the Black Rock Cave, which made the Black Rock Cave unable to pay the tax. The lower official begged the emperor to exempt the taxes of the Black Rock Cave in the memorial to waive the taxes of the Black Rock Cave for five years." After pausing, he said carefully: "The lower official originally wanted to wait for the Marquis to come back to see the Marquis first, but the Marquis has not returned for a long time. The lower official is worried that the Emperor is anxious, so!"

Qi Ning knew that Wei Shutong made an excuse for himself in time, and was to sell himself for his own good. He smiled and said, "Everything in Lord Wei's comments is true. After I return to Beijing to meet the emperor, I will definitely report it truthfully. Moreover, this time, Lord Wei acted cautiously and thought twice before acting, so that he did not kill innocent people by chance. He made outstanding contributions. This is also a statement to the emperor."

Wei Shutong immediately stood up and bowed, "I thanked the marquis here."

Qi Ning waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Wei, we are our own family, so we don't have to be so polite. Xichuan is related to the safety of my Great Chu. After I return to Beijing, I will ask you here."

"To be loyal to the court and the emperor, the officials will die." Wei Shutong said solemnly, then sat down and lowered his voice: "Marty, the officials secretly sent someone to search for the temples donated by Li Hongxin, and now it is indeed strange."

Qi Ning was excited and asked, "What's there?"

"Nothing is present." Wei Shutong whispered: "But that's exactly what it is, it's the biggest present. The lower officials received a report that monks were originally among the temples donated by Li Hongxin, but overnight, the temples became empty and there was no one seen. They searched for them, and they were empty and found nothing, but there were traces of ruts."

“Ruit?”

Wei Shutong nodded and said, "Yes, all the temples we were looking for had traces of ruts. That is to say, before the officials sent someone to search, something was transported from the temples, but the traces of ruts suddenly disappeared on the road and disappeared from where they were."

Qi Ning took a sip of tea, thoughtful, and then said softly: "This matter cannot be let go. We must also check carefully. We must find out what exactly is transported away and where it is transported to. Lord Wei, the things in the temple will not be transported away early or late, and it will be transferred when we are suspicious. Li Hongxin is indeed cunning, you must be more careful."

Wei Shutong immediately said: "Don't worry, the marquis raises a group of disciples, many of whom are good at tracking and searching, and the rank of officials will not let go of this matter." After a pause, he said: "It's just that Xichuan is afraid that there is some trouble recently, and the Beggars' Sect may be causing trouble."

"Beggar Gang?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "How do you say this?"

"The leader of the Black Lotus Sect killed the leader of the Beggars' Sect, how can the Beggars' Sect let it go?" Wei Shutong picked up the teacup. "Recently, the Beggars' Sect disciples have frequently moved on the streets and alleys. The subordinates sent people to closely monitor the movements of the Beggars' Sect so as not to cause trouble."

Qi Ning said in horror: "The leader of the Black Lotus Sect killed the leader of the Beggars' Sect? When did this happen?"—
