Ji Ran suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and continued, "So, after returning to the team that time, I resigned from the position of Ping Yao Office and went to Dali Temple in the form of an internal transfer, until now."

Feng Yan didn't understand for a moment, "Why did Lord Ji leave the Ping Yao Office?"

"After seeing the young master's behavior of subduing demons, I realized that I would probably not be able to catch up with the young master in my life... If that's the case, what's the point of staying in the Ping Yao Office? A real man should strive to be the first-class person in his life. It's better to change his direction."

Feng Yan looked at Ji Ran and suddenly felt that the young man had a little bit of Xiao Qi's shadow, and he felt quite friendly.

"In five years, have you been seated at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple..." Feng Yan smiled, "Mr. Ji is really young and promising."

Ji Ran's cheeks were almost unaware of the heat. He immediately lowered the corner of his mouth and said solemnly, "If the young master has no other questions, then let's start asking questions."

Feng Yan smiled and said, "Master Ji, please ask."

"Where was the young master on the day the tree demon attacked Mingtang?"

"On Shangyi Street on the east side of Mingtang," Feng Yan said softly, "That day was the day when I got married with Lord Wei. When the wedding team walked to Shangyi Street, they happened to meet a tree demon climbing onto the tower of Mingtang. The guards of Feng and Wei families, servants, and the wedding girl could all testify."

"What afterwards? Where did the young master go?"

"Zhenguo Duke's Mansion."

"Why didn't you go back to the Wei family?"

"Because Lord Wei said that the Wei Mansion is even more unsafe at this time, it is better to go to the Duke's Mansion to avoid it for a while."

"How did Lord Wei know that the Wei Mansion was not safe at that time?"

"Then Lord Ji should ask him," Feng Yan whispered, "I'm not sure."

"Have you not asked Lord Wei?"

Feng Yan shook her head, "...I don't care much about these trivial matters."

Ji Ran was stunned for a moment - Yes, how could such an incomparable little demon get into Liao Shimiao's eyes... I think she shouldn't care too.

"Someone on Shangyi Street said that the tree demon attacked the young master at that time. Is this true?"

"Um."

"A little demon of this level should be easy for the young master to deal with." Ji Ran said softly, "But it is said that the young master was bound by the vines at that time and did not struggle at all until Lord Wei rushed to split the vines."

Feng Yan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Yes."

Ji Ran leaned forward slightly, his eyes sharp and focused, "Why? What made the young master not attack the tree demon until Lord Wei appeared?"

Feng Yan did not answer, but just lowered her eyes and smiled.

Ji Ran was a little confused, "...why are you laughing at?"

Before he finished speaking, the older recorder laughed.

Ji Ran looked at the recorder, "Why is Uncle Xu laughing at?"

"Because, I'm waiting for when Lord Wei will come." Feng Yan turned his head slightly and replied with a smile, "Fortunately he didn't ask me to wait too long."

Ji Ran came to his senses and was caught off guard.

He immediately coughed a few times, "...but let the tree demon do this, don't you worry that it will hurt other people?"

"Fortunately, because I saw that Taohuawei had already taken action... I couldn't steal other people's credit." Feng Yan said softly, "After all, when I arrived, the tree demon was almost completely cleaned up."

Only then did Ji Ran think of this layer, "...so. Has the young master come into contact with some monster recently?"

"No." Feng Yan replied calmly while drinking tea.

"What about last year?" Ji Ran asked, "For a while last year, the young master suddenly fell asleep for more than a month."

"…Is this within the scope of investigation by Lord Ji?"

"Yes." Ji Ran nodded solemnly, "Please answer truthfully."

This question continued like this and it was not troublesome to deal with it. Most of the details that Wei Xingzhen had made her suspicious were covered up without any knowledge. No one would doubt that a bride who had just married into the Wei family for four days would deliberately hide something.

However, the time taken for the entire process was much beyond Feng Yan's expectations. Ji Ran asked very carefully. From his escaped logic and bold inquiries, Feng Yan roughly understood the reason why he could show off his talents in a short period of time.

When Ji Ran nodded and said "this is it", the two had been sitting in the tea room for about an hour, and a thick stack of manuscripts from the recorder were written on the side.

"Please read the young master Zhimiao." The older recorder respectfully handed the confession to Feng Yan.

Feng Yan took it and started from scratch.

Soon, footsteps sounded again outside the tea room, and a sword guard quickly walked into the house. Ji Ran put down the teacup in his hand, "Has the search been completed?"

"Sir, most places have been searched, there is no problem except..."

Ji Ran frowned, "Except what?"

"This morning, Lord Wei and his friends came back from Feng's mansion and put some luggage near the Ximen. We wanted to go and have a look, but we were choked by the servants of Wei's mansion."

"Oh?" Feng Yan's eyes did not leave the confession in her hand. She looked around and said, "How could it be choked?"

"They said that they were just clothes and things to use. It would be uneasy to search their wife's clothes in this way."

Ji Ran was puzzled, "Why wouldn't it be better to ask the other guards to retreat and let the female guards go alone?"

The sword guard obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "They said that the girls in the female guards are all careless. If they break something, how can we afford it!"

"This..." Ji Ran obviously also heard the friction between the people below, and a little embarrassed appeared on his face, "Sorry, young master."

"fine."

Feng Yan still sat there calmly until she finished looking through the last page of her confession, she signed the name and stamped her own seal.

"Since the Wei family's mansion has been searched, I'll send some people to Ximen now," Feng Yan stood up, "and looked at those cars of luggage by the way."

...

When several people arrived at the Ximen, a group of officers and soldiers who had searched the Wei Mansion were gathering and waiting at the door.

Under Feng Yan's gaze, several female guards stepped forward, opened the boxes on the carriage one by one, and flipped over and inspected them.

"Sir!" Suddenly someone shouted, and then ran towards Ji Ran, "I found this!"

Feng Yan looked closely and found that it was the Shiva mask he bought with Wei Xingzhen by the Luoshui the night before yesterday.

"...This mask," Feng Yan was puzzled, "What's the problem?"

Ji Ran took the mask and laughed, "Oh, this will start with the new order issued by His Majesty early this morning. It is understandable that the young master doesn't know."

Feng Yan suddenly remembered the many officers and soldiers who saw in the street market when she went out in the morning.

Ji Ran looked at Feng Yan, "The Emperor posted an imperial list at the sixteen large and small gates of the capital, mainly to inform the world of "Luodu No Shadow". "Ji Ran looked at Feng Yan, "In addition, there are four major events-

“One of the general amnesty, even ordinary amnesty, is included in the general amnesty;

"The second is to change the era. From August this year, the year name "Tianfu" was changed to "Fengyuan", and Your Majesty added the honorary title of "Tiancao Holy Emperor;

"The third is to change the name, and to change the 'Luodu' to 'Shendu'. From now on, all the documents and dictionaries of documents should be regarded as the land of the world;

"Fourth, all Gentile monks and priests who want to enter our territory to preach must first pass the approval of the states and the heads of the government, otherwise they will not step into our Middle Land. All Buddhist scriptures shall be based on the interpretation of the translation of the Foguang Temple Sutra Pavilion, and all foreign scriptures shall not be circulated on the market."
