Behind Daming Temple is the land belonging to the temple, which is full of vegetables and various fruit trees. The fruit trees have been a little old and are very tall and dense. Xie Erjian has lost the trace of the thief when he tracks it down here, and is searching carefully among the fruit trees.

Not long ago, Xie Erjian and the thief fought fiercely for more than a dozen rounds. The opponent was quite good, but he was not Xie Erjian's opponent. When he tried to climb over the wall and escape, he was sternly slapped in the back.

Xie Erjian was full of confidence in his Red Sun Palm and expected that the thief was seriously injured behind the palm, so he must not be able to escape. However, unexpectedly, Xie Erjian searched carefully in the fruit forest twice, but he couldn't find the thief. The man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"It's strange, isn't this guy injured?" Xie Erjian couldn't figure it out and really didn't believe in this evil, so he searched it carefully, but he still found nothing except the monk's robe discarded on the vegetable field.

"Damn it!" Xie Erjian cursed lowly, turned around and ran out of the orchard, searching down the hillside. Below the hillside was the Sishui River, and the riverside was covered with water plants and reeds.

However, Xie Erjian searched back and forth along the river, but still found nothing, and did not even find any clues. In the end, he had to leave in disappointment and return to the temple to report to Xu Jin.

Just as Xie Erjian left the tea, a piece of "wall skin" slowly raised on the wall of the temple, and quickly "growed" limbs, slid lightly from the wall, and suddenly became a solid man. As soon as the guy landed, he bent over and walked through the fruit forest like a rabbit, and then drilled into the reeds beside the Sishui River and disappeared.

When Xu Jin saw Xie Erjian returning empty-handed, he couldn't help but be surprised. His second brother-in-law never lost his chain, but this time he failed. Xie Sanqian also asked in disbelief: "Second brother, has the thief run away?"

Xie Erjian threw the monk's robes on the ground and said angrily: "That thief may not be very skillful in martial arts, but he is quite capable of hiding it. He obviously got a pill and fell out of the wall and disappeared. It's really a ghost."

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel moved. The other party had good martial arts skills, and he deliberately changed into monk's clothes to cover up his sect. It was obviously premeditated, but it was not like he was temporarily tempted, so he asked quietly: "Who have you offended recently?"

Wang Cuiqiao had now returned to her peaceful and beautiful appearance, shook her head and said lightly: "No."

Qiu Yan, the maid next to him, interrupted, "My wife, my girl has always been kind to others and never offends others. In my opinion, it must be caused by the courtesan competition. Some people want to ruin my lady's reputation so that my lady can't get the courtesan. The biggest suspect is..."

Wang Cuiqiao hurriedly stopped and said, "Qiuyan, don't talk nonsense if you have no evidence."

Xu Jin and Wei Yang couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, a team of constables hurried into Daming Temple. It turned out that the Yangzhou County Magistrate was leading the team, sweating profusely. He probably rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

"The emperor has met the imperial envoy!" The Yangzhou county magistrate saluted Xu Jin nervously. In broad daylight, such a thing happened in the temple under his rule, but the imperial envoy met him and pursued him, the county magistrate, had the responsibility of unpardonable.

Xu Jin said calmly: "The magistrate of Zhou County came just in time. The bad guys were captive in the temple in broad daylight. This fact is a terrifying thing for people to hear. Be sure to find out, and give everyone justice and give an explanation to the people of Yangzhou."

"Yes, yes, yes, the officials will go and investigate immediately!" Zhou County Magistrate agreed timidly, and immediately sent a constable to control Daming Temple and launch an investigation.

Although Xu Jin was an imperial envoy, he was not easy to interfere in local public security cases. After handing over the matter to the magistrate Zhou, he left and then sent Wang Cuiqiao back to the flower boat in the city.

"Oh, thank God, my good girl, I'm so scared for my mother. Fortunately, I'm safe." The mother Jin from Xiuchunlou was both surprised and happy when she saw the imperial envoy sending Wang Cuiqiao back in person. She slapped her fat breasts exaggeratedly and thanked Xu Jin for a thousand-hearted manner.

Wang Cuiqiao said to Xu Jin and Wei Yang Yingying, "I thanked you for your help today. The little woman is very grateful. But she is not in a good mood and is in a state of uneasy. I will prepare a little wine to thank you later."

Wei Yang bowed and said, "Wang, everyone was frightened, it's time to have a good rest and condition. Let's say goodbye first."

Xu Jinyi smiled and bowed, and got off the boat and left with Wei Yang.

"Hey... you silly girl, why don't you ask Xu Ziqian for a good lyrics with such a good opportunity?" Jin's mother couldn't help but complain when she saw Xu Jin and Wei Yang got off the boat.

"Mom Jin, Miss Jin was almost kidnapped by the gangster today. You didn't care about it for a moment. You only have the courtesan competition in your eyes, and you don't care about the life and death of the lady." Qiu Yan whispered.

"Damn girl has a hard wing, right? She dares to scold me!" Jin's mother acted and wanted to twist Qiu Yan's ears, who hid behind Wang Cuiqiao in fear.

Wang Cuiqiao sighed and said, "Mom Jin, for the sake of her daughter, let me spare Qiu Yan this incident."

Now Wang Cuiqiao is the pillar of Xiuchun Tower, and Mother Jin still expects her to win the championship, so she doesn't dare to go too far. She stopped her hand in disappointment: "For Qiaoer's sake, let me spare you, this dead girl once."

After saying that, he immediately changed his smile and said, "Good girl, it's not that I don't care about you, but this courtesan competition is of great importance. If I can't win the courtesan, neither of us will end well."

Wang Cuiqiao said calmly: "Don't worry, mom, my daughter will do her best to win the courtesan!"

"This is my good daughter. I will go back and ask Lord Xu to board the ship next post. Remember to ask for a good song. Well, I will ask the Chamber of Commerce to send more people over. It is best not to run around before the Courtesan Competition to avoid accidents."

...

Yueke Tower is a restaurant next to the river. Xu Jin and Wei Yang sat down by the window on the second floor, ordered a pot of Shaoxing flower carvings and a few dishes to drink opposite each other. Through the window, you can see rows of flower boats moored by the Sishui River.

The two drank two drinks silently, and the atmosphere was a little cold. Xu Jin was planning to find a topic to warm up, but Wei Yang suddenly asked: "Does Ziqian think today's incident was done by the opponent of the Wang Jia Gua Competition?"

Xu Jin asked back: "The eldest brother thinks that for the title of a courtesan, he should do anything to do?"

Wei Yang shook his head and said, "If it were just for the title of a courtesan, it would not be so bad. However, this courtesan competition is different from the past, and the benefits involved are huge, so someone will inevitably take risks."
