Faced with the small request of "the benefactor who saved his wife", Wei Changtian certainly couldn't refuse.
What's more, the other party is still a young and beautiful girl.
In the next few days, You Jia really lived with Xu Qingwan in the Wei residence. In addition to recuperating, she also played mahjong with Yang Liushi and Liang Qin, and soon became familiar with everyone.
Chen Bo had already roughly investigated the incident in Wangjiacun, and Wei Changtian even went to the "site" in person, but the results were very limited.
Based on the existing clues, the situation that night was basically the same as previously guessed.
Xu Qingwan and You Jia were ordered to investigate the monster problem, but unexpectedly, the strength of the snake monster was far beyond imagination. After that, they were defeated. After they both fainted, they were rescued by a mysterious master. The master also killed the snake monster.
The snake demon was also killed...
This process sounds reasonable, but upon closer inspection you will inevitably notice various illogicalities.
For example, why is there not a single person left alive in Wangjia Village?
For example, why did the mysterious master happen to appear there and not take action sooner rather than later? He had to wait until the two women fainted before taking action?
According to Xu Qingwan's description, there were many surviving people in the village before she passed out. Since the master had already appeared to save the two girls, why were all the villagers dead?
The matter was definitely not as simple as imagined, but Wei Changtian really couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation. He just vaguely felt that someone wanted to cover up something.
But the only two remaining parties, Xu Qingwan and You Jia, fainted again at that time.
Could there be something wrong with Youjia?
After all, she had just come to the Xuanjing Division less than a month before she encountered this kind of thing. It was a bit too coincidental no matter how you looked at it.
It's not like Wei Changtian has never been so suspicious, but...
"..."
"Sir, that's basically it. There should be no problem with Miss You's life experience."
In the study, Zhang San, who had just returned from Anzhou, reported the findings of the past few days.
He found the other party's address in Anzhou based on the information accidentally revealed by You Jia, and even showed the portrait to neighbors for identification.
And the facts prove that what You Jia said is true.
She grew up in Anzhou and studied under a master since she was a child. Her master died this year and she didn't want to stay at home, so she came to Shuzhou to seek refuge with her cousin who was an errand in the Xuanjing Division.
That cousin Wei Changtian also asked him quietly, but he couldn't find any fault in his words or deeds.
So...are you overthinking it?
Shaking his head and walking out of the study, he happened to meet You Jia who was instructing Achun to practice in the courtyard.
"Master Wei."
When she saw Wei Changtian, she hurried over and seemed a little embarrassed.
"I just had nothing to do, so I helped Ah Chun regulate his energy..."
"It's okay, Miss You is here to help."
Wei Changtian shook his head and asked casually: "I wonder if the girl is still used to living here these days?"
"I'm used to it. I eat well and sleep well."
Youjia smiled and said: "At least it's much better than my cousin's place."
When I first came to Shuzhou, I had not yet found a suitable place to stay, so I had been staying at my cousin's place.
But now that he was injured and it was inconvenient for his cousin to take care of him, he shamelessly wanted to stay with Wei Changtian for a while.
This was Youjia's reason for "asking to stay" before, but it barely made sense.
"That's good."
Wei Changtian smiled, thought for a while and then said: "The accommodation provided by the Xuanjing Division for ordinary officers is indeed a bit shabby... Miss You, why not, I might as well buy a house in the city for you."
"It will be more spacious whether you want to live alone or with your cousin."
"how do you feel?"
Wei Changtian's idea is very simple.
Although a house was not cheap, it was just a drop in the bucket to him, and it was just a chance to return some favors to You Jia.
But when the latter heard what he said, he suddenly lowered his head.
"Wei, Mr. Wei, I understand what you mean... Don't worry, I will move out tomorrow and I won't embarrass you..."
"Uh...Miss You, you misunderstood."
Wei Changtian hurriedly explained: "I have no intention of driving you away. If you want to live here, you can continue to live here, as long as the girl doesn't dislike it."
"Is it?"
Youjia blinked: "Then I will bother you for a few more days."
"As for purchasing a house...Young Master doesn't have to spend any money. I guess I don't need it."
unnecessary?
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment. He just thought that You Jia meant that her cousin's place of residence was enough, and did not continue to think further.
"Well, Miss You can just make her own decision."
He nodded and was about to say something more, but the sudden appearance of a figure at the door made Wei Changtian's eyes suddenly freeze.
Li Huaizhong?
Why is he here?
"Miss You, I still have some things to deal with, so I'm sorry."
He glanced at Li Huaizhong, waved his hand to the doorman to let him go, and then turned around and walked into the main hall.
The old eunuch behind him smiled and walked into the small courtyard, and soon passed by You Jia.
"..."
The two looked at each other in an instant, and their expressions were very consistent with their respective personalities.
One is calm and the other is a little curious.
However, the moment they passed by each other, a ray of condensed inner energy from each of them passed into the other's ears.
"Eunuch Li."
"Dragon Bird."
...
...
In the main hall, Wei Changtian and Li Huaizhong sat opposite each other.
When we met again after three months, Wei Changtian didn't feel like he was walking on the edge of a knife like last time.
After all, he still has more than 2,000 system points in hand, and a second-level player no longer poses any threat to him.
"Eunuch Li, you came to me in such a arrogant manner. It seems that the emperor has sent you to Shuzhou again to handle business?"
"Well, all of Prince Shun's rebel accomplices have been killed, but Shao Ying'an has not been found. The Emperor asked us to come and investigate."
Li Huaizhong took a sip of tea and looked up: "I wonder if Master Wei has any clues?"
"My father-in-law thinks highly of me. Can I have any clues?"
Wei Changtian was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "Father, I'm afraid you're here today not for Shao Ying'an, but for yourself."
"..."
Li Huaizhong's eyes narrowed and he was silent for a long time before he asked in a deep voice: "Master Wei, do you really know how to make up for the lack of yin and yang skills?"
"I already mentioned this last time."
Wei Changtian waved his hand indifferently: "If father-in-law doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."
"..."
Faced with such a perfunctory attitude, Li Huaizhong was not annoyed and just took a deep breath.
"I believe."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Then father-in-law is planning to make that deal with me?"
"Yes, I can tell the Young Master the Liu family's plan first..."
Li Huaizhong condensed his voice into a thin line, and his tone was somewhat threatening: "But I also hope that the young master can keep his promise."
"It's natural."
Wei Changtian also used his inner power to transmit the message: "As long as my father-in-law didn't lie to me, I will immediately reveal all the ways to make up for Yin Yang Gong."
