Tao Zi returned to the town. There were many more people on the street than before, and her eyes fell on a stall.

"From the Huang family, you are very good at embroidering this handkerchief. Most embroiderers can't compare to it."

The woman was thin, but her appearance was pretty good. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law He really knows how to joke."

If I remember correctly, this person should be the mother I met at the entrance of the town before.

Tao Zi stood in front of the stall and flipped through the handkerchiefs. The woman said enthusiastically, "Girl, my handkerchiefs are sold very cheaply. See if you like them."

She took another look, casually put down a tael of silver, and said, "I have a lot of people in my family, so I want them all. There's no need to find the money. You can pack them up and help me deliver them to the entrance of the town."

The woman nodded in surprise, packed up her handkerchief, and followed her out of the town with the bamboo basket on her back.

There were almost no people around, and even the entrance to the town could not be seen clearly. The woman stopped and became wary after realizing it: "Girl, where is your home?"

Tao Zi turned around and looked at her. The very light powder passed by the woman's nose. Her eyes became blank and her hands naturally drooped.

"Did anything unusual happen on the day your child disappeared?"

"The child keeps crying."

"Has anyone special come to town?"

The woman mentioned a series of people, and Tao Zi keenly grasped one of their identities: "People from the Minglan Sect's stewardship hall? What are they doing here?"

"Come here to collect the list."

She raised her eyebrows. If she remembered correctly, the Minglan Sect did not set up a branch of the Guanshi Hall here. The mortals in this town were also under the names of other sects. What kind of list would they collect here?

"Do you know the name?"

"Zhang Qian."

Tao Zi asked a lot more details before letting her leave.

The woman walked in a daze for a while, then suddenly woke up. She looked around at the situation, and her eyes changed from confusion to joy.

The mother-in-law came hurriedly from not far away: "You are a brainless person. You can leave when others tell you to, and you are not afraid of dying outside!"

The woman lowered her head and listened to the instruction, but she still couldn't help but said: "Mother-in-law, that girl just asked me to deliver the handkerchief to a bullock cart not far away. There is no danger, and the money I gave you is plenty."

The mother-in-law cursed and dragged her daughter-in-law home.

Tao Zi walked towards a big town. At sunset, she stood at the entrance of this big town. There was a big stone at the entrance of the town with the word "Xuanzhen" engraved on it.

This town was much more lively than that town, with passers-by coming and going, so she found an inconspicuous inn and stayed there.

There was an unpleasant damp smell inside the inn, but it was better because it was in a remote location and no one paid attention to it.

She tidied the room casually and lay down to rest. In the middle of the night, she opened her eyes and sneaked out quietly.

According to the woman, Zhang Qian came from a small town and married a daughter-in-law who was from Xuan Town. The couple settled in Xuan Town and were scolded by the old parents in the town.

She sneaked into the Xuanzhen branch hall with familiarity, evaded those who were patrolling, found the branch list, wrote down the names on it one by one, and then found Zhang Qian's address.

It was getting dark when she came to a courtyard.

Zhang Qian's wife got up to prepare breakfast, opened the door and walked into the east kitchen. When she prepared everything and came back to call her husband, she found that there was no one in the room.

She frowned and muttered something: "You go out so early in the morning without eating, and you don't even say hello. You deserve to starve to death."

At this moment, Zhang Qian opened his eyes in a daze, only to find that he was nestled in a sack. His expression changed, and he struggled out of the sack. A man in black with a cloak stood in front of him.

He fell back and sat on the ground: "What are you going to do? I'm from the Minglan Sect!"

The voice of the man in black was very hoarse. He must be a man: "Zhang Qian, if you do such unethical things, you are not afraid of the infant spirit coming to you in the middle of the night."

Zhang Qian's face turned pale and his voice suddenly became louder: "What are you talking about?"

"He" squatted down and said with a hoarse laugh: "How many of the babies on the list are still alive?"

He rolled and crawled and hid next to a big tree on the side, shaking his head constantly: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I just listened to what the boss said!"

"You know what's going on, but you still help the villain. Zhang Qian, if you don't die, who will?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything. What they are talking about is obviously the invasion of fake demons, and they want a list to check for fake demons. Really, I really don't know anything..." His next words became quieter and quieter, and his expression changed.

Becoming more confused and frightened.

"But if you find out, will those people let you go? You will die sooner or later. It is better to die in my hands."

Zhang Qian collapsed to the ground, grabbing his few sanity amidst the overwhelming fear, and asked: "What should I do so that you don't kill me?"

"He" laughed lowly twice and said: "Only those who are useful can live."

"You will kill those people, right?" Zhang Qian was also awake at this moment. Maybe it would be best if those people died.

"Of course, have you thought about it?"

He swallowed and nodded vigorously. He was not stupid. If those people didn't kill him now, it didn't mean they wouldn't kill him in the future. As long as the man in front of him didn't regret it, that would be a good thing.

The man in black threw something to him, told him some things, and asked him to swallow a poison: "The poison will definitely appear in three days. If you want to get the antidote, you must work hard."

"He" turned around and left without waiting for Zhang Qian's answer. In just a few steps, he was already ten miles away.

Zhang Qian stood up holding on to the big tree. After his legs became weak, he ran home as if running for his life.

My mother-in-law was scolding her six-year-old son for running around and soiling a new piece of clothing.

When she saw him coming in, her expression became shocked: "Why do you look like this?"

The son clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Mom, look, dad's clothes are dirtier than mine!"

Zhang Qian muddleheadedly let his mother-in-law pack his clothes. After she finished nagging him, he said, "I, I have something to say."

Soon after, the neighbors passing by the courtyard were startled by the roar coming from inside: "Say it again!"

Zhang Qian nestled in the corner, his voice as low as possible: "I didn't know at first. Really, if I had known, I wouldn't have done such an immoral thing even if I had to die."

The mother-in-law walked around the room, finally pulled him up, and said calmly: "Listen to me, go to the Minglan Sect to complain. This must be the bastard thing done by those Zikuimei. Let's tell the sect,

They will definitely take care of it over there.”

Zhang Qian shook his head vigorously. He was afraid that the man in black would target his mother-in-law, so he did not tell him about the poison. Instead, he said: "So many babies have had accidents, and the sect didn't care about it. It shows that those bastards are here."

Protect, what if, I mean what if we happen to find that person?"
