Chapter five hundred and fiftieth IX hidden in the city
Chapter 559: Hiding in the City
Early the next morning, Magistrate Lang called Bai Yucheng into the inner house to have breakfast.
I said I wanted to have breakfast, but actually I wanted to talk about something else.
Magistrate Lang waved away the servants in the room and said anxiously in a suppressed voice: "Yucheng, last night, that person...that person is here again!"
"Ah?" Bai Yucheng was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Sir, are you okay?"
Magistrate Lang touched his chin and said helplessly: "If something happened to me, would I still be sitting in front of you now?"
As he spoke, Magistrate Lang recounted what happened last night, his expression looking very frightened.
"Do you know? After that evil spirit came, I couldn't sleep well all night!" Magistrate Lang said distressedly.
Only then did Bai Yucheng realize that Magistrate Lang did have dark circles under his eyes and his expression was a little haggard.
The next moment, Magistrate Lang asked eagerly: "Yucheng, how are you doing over there? Have you contacted that person?"
Bai Yucheng said: "Sir, this matter cannot be rushed. If nothing unexpected happens... there should be news within these two or three days!"
Bai Yucheng actually had no idea in his heart, but what else could he say?
"Why do you need two or three more days? That demon threatened me, saying that as soon as the fifteenth is over...Yucheng, can you hurry up?"
Magistrate Lang wished that Bai Yucheng would immediately get in touch with Han Jian.
Bai Yucheng comforted him: "Master, please be patient. Although the evil spirit has set a time limit, Yucheng believes that he will not harm your family easily!"
Magistrate Lang asked worriedly: "How can you explain this clearly? That is the evil spirit of the secret sect!"
Bai Yucheng said patiently: "Sir, please think about it, the ultimate goal of the Dark Cult Yaoxie is to kill Chai Yan. He has done so many things and spent a lot of time to threaten us. It is impossible for him to... just say yesterday.
It's late, as soon as you said you invited Han Jian, he didn't press so hard. As for the Lantern Festival, it is probably to put pressure on us and urge us not to delay in doing things."
"What you said is not unreasonable! But I...I am afraid of something unexpected happening..." Magistrate Lang beat his chest.
Bai Yucheng said: "Don't worry, sir, Yucheng will do his best!"
Magistrate Lang sighed helplessly, stood up and walked out.
Bai Yucheng said hurriedly: "Sir, don't you need breakfast?"
Magistrate Lang stopped and turned his head slightly, saying in frustration: "You can eat it, I can't eat it..."
After saying that, Magistrate Lang left, leaving Bai Yucheng alone in the hall.
Bai Yucheng asked himself that he couldn't do things on an empty stomach, so he ate some casually, and then rushed to the Tutu Temple on West Street.
-----------------------
Soon, it was evening. Bai Yucheng walked out of a teahouse on West Street. He stood on the street illuminated by the afterglow, turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Earth Temple, and hesitated whether to go there again.
...
During this day, Bai Yucheng walked around the Earth Temple. Almost every hour and a half, Bai Yucheng would quietly sneak under the osmanthus tree behind the temple to take a look. But every time he saw that the mark he left was still there, his heart was filled with tears.
I couldn't help feeling disappointed and annoyed.
After thinking about it, Bai Yucheng finally decided to go again. After all, he had been there so many times, and it was just a waste of time!
But when Bai Yucheng walked to the osmanthus tree without any hope, his eyes suddenly doubled in size, and he said with a horrified expression: "No... gone?"
Bai Yucheng quickly rubbed his eyes and searched carefully under the tree.
That's right! The mark I left has indeed disappeared and been erased!
Bai Yucheng's face couldn't restrain his excitement, which meant that Han Jian had already arrived, and now he was just waiting to meet him at 1:30!
After only staying under the tree for a moment, Bai Yucheng left behind the temple and walked quickly towards the government office.
In the inner courtyard of the government office, Magistrate Lang was having dinner listlessly. He had been in a state of exhaustion all day long, and the food was like chewing wax in his mouth.
"Sir, Mr. Bai is here and wants to see you for something important!"
Suddenly, the official on duty came to report.
"Please, please quickly!"
When he heard that Bai Yucheng was here, Magistrate Lang immediately cheered up.
Soon, Bai Yucheng hurriedly entered the hall with his clothes in front of him.
"Yucheng, is there any good news?" Magistrate Lang couldn't wait any longer.
Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Bai Yucheng nodded and said, "Sir, at three o'clock tonight, Yucheng will be able to see Han Jian!"
"Seriously?" Magistrate Lang was happy and surprised, but his joy quickly overshadowed his shock.
Bai Yucheng pulled Magistrate Lang deep into the hall and explained in detail about the mark left behind the Tutu Temple.
Magistrate Lang was shocked and shook his head unconsciously: "I really didn't expect that an osmanthus tree behind the Earth Temple in the bustling city would be the secret contact point of the number one killer in Yaozhou... In this way,
The killer Han Jian has been hiding in Yaozhou City for so many years, he is indeed hiding in the city!"
Bai Yucheng nodded aside.
Magistrate Lang turned around and looked at Bai Yucheng seriously, frowned slightly and said: "Yucheng, when you go to see him at 1:30pm tonight, you must not reveal your identity... You are not good at this.
Wear ordinary clothes before going!"
"Yes, sir, Yu Cheng will change it in a moment." Bai Yucheng answered with cupped hands.
Suddenly, Magistrate Lang called out: "Yucheng, you come with me..."
With that said, Magistrate Lang walked out of the hall. Bai Yucheng did not dare to hesitate and quickly followed him.
Arriving in front of the study, Magistrate Lang stopped and said, "Yucheng, just wait here. I'll come as soon as I go!"
Bai Yucheng responded respectfully: "Yes, sir."
Magistrate Lang turned around and entered the study, closing the door.
After a while, Magistrate Lang opened the door and came out.
Magistrate Lang walked up to Bai Yucheng, raised his hand and said, "Yucheng, here are five hundred taels of silver notes. You can take them to see him. If it's not enough, tell me later!"
Bai Yucheng took it and saw that it was indeed five banknotes in denominations of one hundred taels, so he quickly put them into his sleeves.
"Sir, Yu Cheng will go and prepare first..." Bai Yucheng looked serious.
Magistrate Lang nodded and said: "Go!"
"Wait..." Bai Yucheng handed over his hands and was about to leave when Magistrate Lang suddenly stopped him again.
Magistrate Lang beckoned the person to him and whispered: "No matter how late it is, you must come back and repay me first!"
"Yucheng understands!"
Bai Yucheng did not go home after leaving the government office, but went straight to Chan'er's house.
As soon as he entered the house, Bai Yucheng said to Chan'er: "Hurry up, hurry up and ask someone to bring some food, I'm starving!"
Chan'er immediately ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to get food, and then asked with concern: "Chenglang, is everything going well?"
Of course Bai Yucheng knew what Chan'er was asking about, so he immediately said, "Guess..."
Chan'er immediately covered her mouth and smiled: "Chenglang, once you act like this, Chan'er won't have to guess. You must have contacted Han Jian, right?"
Bai Yucheng also smiled, pulled Chan'er into his arms, kissed her mouth to mouth, and said: "Chan'er is smart and smart, and I can't hide anything from you!"
