Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginning Chapter 517 Meeting the Prince Consort Zheng at the City Gods Temple
Chapter 517 Meeting the Prince Consort Zheng at the City Gods Temple
Ji Yao seems to be familiar with Tianjian Pavilion. From this, it seems that she is also a sword cultivator. But since she has this level of status, how can she be kicked out by her husband's family?
And she was still pregnant with Liujia!
Even a first-class family headed by Wu surname Qi Wang wouldn't dare to go so far, right?
On the way back to the inn, Li Nuo muttered to himself, puzzled.
besides.
Ji Yao is really too depressed.
There was no trace of sadness or anger on her face.
How much heart this must have!
At the same time, he was also very curious, what kind of strange man could he let down Miss Ji Yao and even give up his own blood?
In this era where male heirs are highly valued, such a thing is extremely rare.
Could it be that……
What accident happened to Ji Yao's husband and he is no longer alive?
This would explain why Tong Jiyao didn't want his help.
Thinking of this, Li Nuo felt a little pity for Miss Ji Yao.
What a miserable person...
A few moments.
Li Nuo returned to Xinghua Inn, and the old village chief appeared in the inn lobby pretending to be a chance encounter.
"Master Zheng is back? But you have already met that girl? How do you feel?"
The village chief smiled and asked seemingly casually, but in fact every pore in his body was trembling slightly.
Even if Li Nuo didn't have to notice, he could easily detect the old village chief's eagerness at this time.
He smiled: "Yes, he is the person I am looking for. I would also like to thank the village chief for providing me with this clue."
"Okay, okay! I am very happy to be able to untie the knot in the young master's heart..."
The village chief's tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
This level was finally passed without any danger.
Fortunately, Miss Ji Yao was willing to cooperate with this performance. When the incident was over, he would give her another five hundred taels of silver as a token of respect.
Next, it’s time to reap the results.
The village chief said with a radiant face: "By the way, I heard that your father made the news a month ago, saying that if anyone can help you find the girl, he will give you the treasure. I wonder if this will still count?"
"Of course it counts. However, the village chief must also know that the treasure is too precious and it is not safe to carry it with me... Therefore, when I come here this time, I also want to confirm her identity first... Of course, the village chief can
Don’t worry, I will compile a letter and send it back to Chang’an soon. After my father reads it, I will make arrangements. I will definitely give the village chief a satisfactory answer. How about asking the village chief to wait a few days?”
What Li Nuo said was watertight and without any flaws.
The village chief was also quietly observing Li Nuo's expression, and did not find anything wrong, so he said: "That's it, that's it. It's a matter of great importance. No matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious. So in the past few days, please
The young master continues to stay at the Xinghua Inn. I will not disturb the young master’s rest. I will retire..."
"Don't worry, village chief, I will never leave the village these days."
Li Nuo opened his eyes seriously and told lies.
The village chief left the inn with a smile on his face. There were many more people near the inn than usual, and his eyes secretly glanced towards the inn from time to time.
Obviously, the village chief was still not reassured, so he sent someone to keep an eye on Li Nuo.
But how could he have known that it was all wrong from the beginning? He was really blinded by the power!
Li Nuo smiled noncommittally, watched the village chief leave, then went upstairs and entered the guest room.
It was not until midnight that Wang Liuzi came back from outside, looking very worried.
"Is there any harvest?"
Li Nuo made a cup of tea and handed it to Wang Liuzi.
In order to run errands for Li Nuo, Wang Liuzi didn't even have time to drink a sip of water all day long.
He gratefully took the tea cup, raised his neck and drank it in one gulp.
"Young master, I ran to the town quickly and went to Qingfeng Tower to inquire about the news. Prince Consort Zheng indeed used the connections in the Princess Mansion to investigate an arson incident sixteen years ago..."
"Although Princess Taiping is not favored, there is no problem in asking the Ministry of Punishment to look through the eucalyptus from sixteen years ago. Come on, moisten your mouth and speak carefully."
Li Nuo made another cup of tea for Wang Liuzi.
He did not deliberately act like a "courteous and virtuous corporal" so that Wang Liuzi would work for him wholeheartedly.
But he had already regarded Wang Liuzi as one of his own.
But the impact of this move on Wang Liuzi was huge.
He felt respect from Li Nuo, unpretentious respect.
This is really difficult for people at the bottom of this era to understand.
Deep in his heart, he couldn't help but feel that "a scholar will die for his confidant".
Wang Liuzi took the teacup heavily and drank it down in one gulp.
He continued: "Zheng Prince Consort has released information both officially and on the street. As long as someone provides the whereabouts of the survivors, he is willing to give the Zheng family's heirlooms. However, these days, the court is busy giving Zhao Quan
The conviction was to appease the people of Jiangnan, so they did not take his matter to heart."
So that's the case, no wonder he didn't receive the news. No one really cares about Zheng Qinwen.
The imperial court had no interest in Zheng Baisheng's affairs, which were all recorded hundreds of years ago.
Even if there is a treasure, I'm afraid it will have been corroded and weathered long ago. There is no need to waste a lot of effort on a vague and unknown thing.
Only those greedy people in the world would covet the treasures left by Zheng Baisheng.
"By the way, sir, I was in the town, and I seemed to have seen Prince Consort Zheng. After just a quick glance, he disappeared. I don't know if it was him..."
Wang Liuzi told everything he had heard about in the town. As for whether it was true or false, he naturally left it to the young master to judge by himself.
"Is Zheng Qinwen here?"
Li Nuotong's eyes suddenly shrank and he murmured.
It is really possible for Zheng Qinwen to come to Anning Village.
If it were in the past, he would definitely not pay attention to this matter. But it is different now. Zheng Qinwen is related to Zheng Baisheng, which means he is also related to Qiluo. Of course, he will take care of it to the end.
"You've been tired for the whole day. Go down and rest first. Leave the rest to me."
Seeing Wang Liuzi looking tired, Li Nuo said.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Then resign from your humble position first!"
Wang Liuzi left the room respectfully.
Li Nuo walked to the open window sill and glanced casually from the corner of his eye. He saw many "villagers" wandering nearby with their heads peeping out.
"Qiluo."
Li Nuo smiled disdainfully, closed the window, and went to the next room to find Qiluo.
"Uncle, are we going to make a big fuss in Tianjian Mountain?"
Qiluo's eyes sparkled and she looked extremely excited!
Jiang Ran'er also stared closely at Li Nuo. Her happiness depended entirely on her brother.
Looking at these two restless masters, Li Nuo shook his head and said with a smile: "I just know how to fight and kill! I told you to wait for two days."
"Then what are you doing here? Are you looking for us to play outside? There is nothing to do in this shabby village."
Qiluo curled her lips and immediately became listless.
Li Nuo said angrily: "I want to ask you something. After you got together with your family, did your father give you any family tokens?"
"Yes, uncle, look at it."
Qiluo lifted up her clothes, revealing a pure bead, her eyes full of show off.
"Your father really gave you the Shui Ling Jade?"
Li Nuo was slightly surprised.
Qiluo's father also mentioned this matter before, but he thought they were just talking about it.
The arson attack sixteen years ago, it was because of this water spirit jade that Qiluo's family escaped that disaster. Logically speaking, such a precious thing should be passed down from male to female. I didn't expect that Qiluo's family would be passed down from male to female.
Father Luo would be so generous.
perhaps.
I think it was also to make up for the debt owed to Qiluo.
After all, they were the ones who failed to protect Qiluo who was playing outside the house. If Master Dugu hadn't come to the rescue, Qiluo Jedi would have perished in the sea of fire.
"Hehe, yes. Daddy is so kind to me!"
Qiluo laughed happily, and then said mysteriously, "Uncle, let me tell you a secret. Our Zheng family actually has a total of five jade pendants like this. The treasure map is gone, but the treasures are still there. Only by collecting them all
Only these five can open the treasure. But over the years, three of them have been lost."
"So you have two in your hands? Besides the Water Spirit Jade, what is the other one that is also in the hands of your family?"
Li Nuo asked.
"I heard from dad that I still have an uncle, but he changed his name and left the village thirty years ago. Dad also said that my uncle is the only hope for our Zheng family!"
Of course, Qiluo didn't have any guard against Li Nuo, so she told the secret.
Zheng Qinwen passed the Jinshi examination thirty years ago and then married Princess Taiping. The timing was just right, so it seemed that he was Qiluo's uncle without a doubt.
"Give me the jade pendant to play with."
After thinking about the matter, Li Nuo said.
Qiluo took off the beads and threw them to Li Nuo, saying proudly: "Uncle, this jade pendant is not worse than your water-proof beads, right?"
"Water-avoiding beads] can only avoid water. In addition to this function, your water spirit jade can also summon water sources and help with spiritual practice. It is a rare treasure."
Li Nuo pinched the water-avoiding bead and immediately felt the surging energy inside...
If a monk who practices water-based skills wears this jade all year round, it can indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort!
"I'm going out and I'll be back soon. You all stay in the inn and don't go anywhere. Don't get into any conflict with the villagers."
Li Nuo gave an instruction, and then used Confucian magic to change his body and appear outside the village.
For him, who is in the fourth level of literature and art, this kind of Confucianism can be used easily. As long as it is not in front of the scholar, no one in this village will notice the fluctuation of his literary power.
Out of the village.
Li Nuo immediately strode to the town.
Half an hour later.
He stood at the highest point of the town, and his perception quietly blossomed.
Within half an hour, Zheng Qinwen's figure fell into his sight.
"As expected of a man who has endured for twenty-eight years, Prince Consort Zheng is also cautious."
Li Nuo smiled slightly, and then with a thought in his mind, his literary power blossomed, and he appeared in front of the abandoned City Emperor Temple.
At this moment, a sharp sword stabbed out from the crack in the door. But it stopped two inches in front of Li Nuo.
"Zheng Prince Consort, I haven't seen you for several months. How are you?"
Li Nuo laughed.
"Zian?"
The door was pushed open, and Zheng Qinwen looked at Li Nuo with surprise.
"it's me."
Li Nuo nodded.
Zheng Qinwen took back the Junzi Sword and said in disbelief: "Zian, it's really you! But why are you here? Didn't you go to southern Xinjiang to suppress the rebellion?"
Li Nuo replied: "I'm going to Tianjian Mountain, and I happened to pass by Anning Village."
"Peaceful Village!"
Zheng Qinwen's eyes widened and he asked anxiously, "Have you been there?"
"Well, I also met someone."
Li Nuo said meaningfully.
When Zheng Qinwen saw this, he knew that Li Nuo already knew something, and his breathing became rapid: "She...is really in Anning Village?"
"Yes and no."
Li Nuo took up Zen.
"Zian, this matter is very important to me, and I ask you to disclose it frankly."
Zheng Qinwen smiled bitterly.
Li Nuo walked into the Chenghuang Temple calmly: "There is a big problem in Anning Village. You were right not to enter the village directly, otherwise you would have stepped into the trap they set."
Zheng Qinwen hurriedly followed in, raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "How did you know?"
"Haha, what a coincidence. The village chief mistook me for your cheap son, so I took advantage of him and met with that woman this morning. However, she was a fake."
Li Nuo explained.
With a creak, Zheng Qinwen closed the dilapidated temple door again, with doubts on his brows: "How did you tell that she was a fake?"
"It just so happens that she is an old friend of mine."
Li Nuo sighed, "She told me frankly that the village chief asked her to pretend to be the woman you are looking for."
"So this clue is still false..." Zheng Qinwen looked extremely disappointed, "Hey, I know that finding her is not easy..."
"Consort Zheng, do you have a token in your hand?"
Li Nuo suddenly asked.
"What token?"
Zheng Qinwen looked confused. As expected of an old fox, there was no flaw in his expression.
But Li Nuo felt that Zheng Qinwen's legs suddenly stiffened.
Li Nuo stopped teasing him and directly took out the Shui Ling Jade and said with a smile: "A token like this."
"Shui Ling Jade!"
Zheng Qinwen couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, and said tremblingly, "Zian, where did you get this jade pendant?"
Li Nuo did not answer directly: "Prince-in-law, my sincerity has been fulfilled, now it's your turn."
At this point, Zheng Qinwen naturally had no way out. He tremblingly took out a jade pendant that was crystal clear and as red as fire.
Fire jade!
"Zian, as you think, the ancestor of our family is none other than Zheng Baisheng, who dominated the world back then."
Zheng Qinwen admitted generously.
"In this way, we are our own people."
Seeing the genuine Huo Lingyu, Li Nuo's only worry was eliminated.
"Is she still alive?"
Zheng Qinwen was so excited that his voice trembled.
"Not only is she alive, her parents and brother also survived the fire sixteen years ago."
Li Nuo said with great emotion.
"Are they okay? Where do they live?"
Zheng Qinwen burst into tears.
In this way, he is not alone in this world.
"They live in Yingtian Mansion and have all changed their names..."
Li Nuo briefly talked about the situation of Zheng Shengzhi's family.
"Okay, okay! I can't repay Zi'an for your great kindness, so I will give you this fire jade!"
Zheng Qinwen said firmly.
He also looked away.
Keeping these spiritual jade is a disaster!
It's better to hand it over, then those people will stop trying to take advantage of them.
In this way, he can also be reunited with his relatives!
but……
The head of Anning Village actually lied to him!
Are they after the Fire Spirit Jade in his hand, or are they the murderers who set the fire back then?
Thinking of this, Zheng Qinwen looked at Li Nuo.
Li Nuo's eyes also happened to meet his.
"Prince-in-law, please be patient. Now that I'm here, I will naturally get to the bottom of this matter. No one can escape the murderer!"
Li Nuo was decisive.
In his mind, he was roughly 80% sure that the people from Anning Village were the murderers who pretended to be horse bandits and set fire to the village sixteen years ago!
