Back at the Night Patrol Department, Li Nanke called Meng Xiaotu to find Mrs. Xu, hoping to get information from her about the maids around Bai Fenghuang.
At this time, Mrs. Xu had been protected by Leng Siyuan to prevent White Phoenix from possessing her again.
Even people from Fengyunhui can't get close.
For this reason, Shi Yan, the leader of the Fengyun Society, went to the Night Patrol Department to inquire about the situation, carrying gifts, for fear of getting into trouble.
In the room, Mrs. Xu looked much better than last time.
And it also has a bit more charm.
Although her plump and charming body is not as perfect as Yu Hongye's, she still has a charming charm.
In short, this is a charming young woman who can arouse the attention of Cao Cao.
"Mrs. Xu, how are you doing lately?"
Li Nanke motioned to Meng Xiaotu to close the door and asked.
Mrs. Xu forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for finding someone to protect me. My health is fine. I just miss my husband so much that I always feel flustered."
Are you concerned about your husband or your lover?
Li Nanke did not expose the other party's thoughts and said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Xu, we will try our best to find your husband and others, and we will notify you if there is any news."
Li Nanke did not tell the woman that all those people were dead, but instead asked: "Does Mrs. Xu know about White Phoenix?"
"Are you talking about the second young lady of Prince Anping's palace?"
The woman looked stunned and asked tentatively.
Li Nanke nodded and said, "Yes, that's her. There were rumors about her two years ago. Mrs. Xu should have heard of it."
"I have heard some." Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment, with a complex look on her face, "But they are just some gossips after dinner."
Li Nanke casually picked up an orange on the table, peeled it, and said:
"Whether it's a rumor or not, I want to know something about her from you. Of course, I know you are not familiar with her, so just tell me everything you know."
There was some confusion on Mrs. Xu's face.
The woman may not understand why Li Nanke came to ask her specifically about these things.
But if the other party asked, she could only answer.
Mrs. Xu thought for a while and then said: "At first I just heard rumors that when Bai Fenghuang and her maid came to Yuncheng to play, they were attacked by thieves.
At first, it was said that the maid next to her was bullied in order to save her. But later, it was said that she herself was defiled and then committed suicide on Phoenix Mountain. In short, there are many confusing rumors. "
"Have you seen White Phoenix?" Li Nanke asked.
Mrs. Xu shook her head and smiled bitterly, "How could I, a commoner, have seen her?"
"What about the maid next to her?"
Li Nanke spoke calmly and finally asked the key.
Sure enough, Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "I met that maid once by chance, but she was already crazy."
"crazy?"
"Yes, she has gone crazy." Mrs. Xu repeated.
"Where is that maid?" Li Nanke broke off a piece of the peeled orange and handed it to Meng Xiaotu.
The girl opened her mouth and took it directly into her mouth without picking it up with her hands.
The cool and sticky feeling from his fingertips was like the tip of his tongue gently brushing against him, which made Li Nanke's heart skip a beat.
He looked back at the cute girl.
This girl actually started to seduce people?
Meng Xiaotu, who was listening carefully to Mrs. Xu's story, didn't react at first and subconsciously opened her mouth to wait for the man to feed her again.
After all, during the morning meal, the man kept feeding her in order to impress his grandma.
She was quite resistant at first, but then she got used to it.
The heart is also sweet.
Under Li Nanke's ambiguous gaze, which was half-smiling but not smiling, the girl suddenly came back to her senses. Remembering that the situation was not right, her face turned into a beautiful glow and she sat up straight.
She clenched her fist and waved it twice quietly, revealing her cute rabbit teeth, as if to say: If you laugh again, I will beat you to death.
"In Yunxiang Temple, I was taken in by the nuns there."
Mrs. Xu replied.
…………
After leaving Mrs. Xu's residence, Li Nanke took Meng Xiaotu to Yunxiang Temple.
He was not familiar with Yunxiang Nunnery, but Meng Xiaotu was very familiar with it. Because when grandma was in good health, she would go to the nunnery to pray from time to time.
As the only Buddhist temple where women practice in Yuncheng, although its incense is not as strong as other temples, there are basically dozens of pilgrims there every day.
Of course, when there are special holidays, there will be more people.
Under the leadership of Meng Xiaotu, Li Nanke came to Yunxiang Temple located in the south of the city.
The Buddhist temple is not very big, and it does not look as grand and majestic as other temples. Instead, it looks more like a Qing Xiu courtyard in seclusion, with an elegant and quiet environment.
There are rows of bamboo groves on both sides in front of the nunnery, which adds to the tranquility.
"Have you met the abbot here?"
Looking at the few pilgrims coming and going, Li Nanke asked curiously.
Meng Xiaotu smiled sweetly, "Of course I have seen her before. The abbot of Yunxiang Temple is called Master Guanxin, and she is very kind to people. When I was young, I came with my grandma, and she would give me some sweet fruits.
But at that time, she was not the abbot of Yunxiang Temple. The abbot was another one, but later, for some reason, that abbot died of illness.
After grandma's health got worse, we haven't been here again, and it's been five or six years."
Speaking of "grandma's health getting worse", Meng Xiaotu became depressed.
Li Nanke remained silent.
Judging from the interactions these days, Grandma Meng's health is indeed not optimistic, and she feels like she is running out of energy.
Maybe, without that obsession, she would have fallen long ago.
I don’t know what the obsession is in Grandma Meng’s heart.
The two of them went directly to the inner courtyard.
Because of the presence of Meng Xiaotu, an old acquaintance, and his status as a member of the Night Patrol Department, the two of them soon met the abbot of Yunxiang Temple, Master Guanxin.
Unlike the imaginary old master's wife who is skinny or fat, Guanxin's master's facial features are very delicate, and her figure is also good.
Even though she is wearing loose monk robes, she can still catch a glimpse of her gracefulness.
The combination of the Buddhist monk's renunciation and the charm of a woman in her prime is undoubtedly a fatal poppy for some men with special hobbies.
"Little Rabbit Girl, long time no see."
Just as Meng Xiaotu said, Master Guan Xin does give people a kind feeling, with a faint and gentle smile on her lips, which makes people suddenly think that the person standing in front of them is Guanyin.
"The teacher is so good."
Meng Xiaotu said hello sweetly, pointed at Li Nanke and said: "This is my companion in the Night Patrol Department, his name is Li Nanke. He is very smart."
"I've met Master Tai."
Li Nanke bowed.
"Hello, Donor Li."
Master Guanxin returned the gift with a smile and said warmly: "Let's talk in the room first."
The two of them entered a room with a strong scent of sandalwood.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Nanke was attracted by a painting hanging on the wall.
In the painting is a woman who looks like a nun.
The woman meditates quietly on the lotus platform. Although the portrait is rough, it exudes an air of separation from the world.
Looking at this painting, Li Nanke suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his mind. Countless double images suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and a blood-red color spread out.
Suddenly, the familiar one-eyed nun flashed before his eyes again.
