Chapter 36 A Little Doubt

Within the official office, Wei Xingzhen finished his official duties today and was walking down the stairs quickly down the stairs and heading towards the door of the official office.

It was completely dark, and the entire government office garden was illuminated by a few light yellow lanterns. Wei Xingzhen's steps gradually slowed down. In front of him, Ji Ran, who had finished his saint, had been waiting here for a long time.

"Why are Lord Ji coming to me again?" Wei Xingzhen said softly, "If you thank me, then you will be spared."

"The four people arrested by Lord Wei last night have been reviewed by Dali Temple and have made some discoveries." Ji Ran walked slowly, "These four people are just ordered to do things, and there is someone else behind the scenes.

"The Demon Pacification Bureau will cooperate with us to investigate the distribution of wild spirits in Luoyang City and cut off all suspicious dens. Your Majesty also issued an order. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be fully responsible for the next thing."

"That's great." Wei Xingzhen replied, "Mr. Ji doesn't need to report to me."

"I want to ask Lord Wei," Ji Ran approached a few steps, "Who is the mastermind behind this matter?"

Wei Xingzhen looked at Ji Ran calmly, "Sir Ji is kidding me... How could I know the answer?"

Ji Ran sneered, "You even knew exactly how to do it from the beginning in the morning and dusk. I see how you know everything very well."

Wei Xingzhen slowly stepped forward a few steps, "This is common sense, Lord Ji."

"Don't mess with me!" Ji Ran scolded, "The masters of the Ping Yao Office have already seen it. The forbidden technique of 'Yi Shijie' has not appeared again in the past century - even after reading the classics, they realized what happened. Is the chief assistant of the Fengge in Wei, who is also proficient in the art of banning anger?"

"It's not said to be proficient, it's just a talk on paper," Wei Xingzhen's expression was gentle. "After all, I have been a cadet in Wenyuan Pavilion for five years... If Lord Ji doesn't believe it, he can go to the library in the inner court with me at any time. I can reprint the records in the ancient books on the spot for you to see."

Ji Ran frowned, "Okay, even if you know 'Yizhilu' because you happened to read ancient books, how did you know that someone in Chunhefang was doing something to harm people? And it was related to the eldest princess, Taiwei Xue!"

"..." Wei Xingzhen did not answer immediately, and his expression flashed with a slight surprise.

Ji Ran captured this subtle change very quickly, "Why, when it comes to Lord Wei's soreness?"

"Not that," Wei Xingzhen whispered, "I just didn't expect that Lord Ji would hide it for me in front of His Majesty."

Ji Ran was stunned, "...what did you hide it? What did I hide it for you?"

"Because this afternoon, I have already informed Your Majesty of the news I got." Wei Xingzhen whispered, "If Lord Ji really regards this matter as a suspicion and tells His Majesty... Then Your Majesty should tell Lord Ji the whole story."

Ji Ran suddenly frowned, "You—"

"Let's go, what's wrong with me?" Wei Xingzhen patted Ji Ran on the shoulder, "My wife is waiting for me to go back for dinner."

...

In the Wei Mansion, I had already arranged the meal for tonight.

Feng Yan knelt aside, holding a bamboo piece the size of a thumb in her left hand and a carving knife in her right hand.

She slowly pushed the carving knife, and the wood chips fell off quickly.

"When is it?" Feng Yan asked.

"It's time for Xu." Ge Jin replied, "Madam, are you hungry? Do you want to eat some first?"

Feng Yan raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the gate. There was still no one on the Wei Mansion trail at night.

"No need." Feng Yan said softly, "...How long have you been to Wei Mansion?"

"Am I?" Ge Jin pointed at himself and smiled, "It's been a long time!"

"It's been a long time...how long."

"I can't remember it myself," replied Qu Shen, "Anyway, we have always followed the adults."

"How old is this year?"

Go really laughed, "I don't know. When I gave birth to it, where I gave birth to it, who my parents were... I don't know. How old do I look at my wife? How old is I."

Feng Yan looked at it and said, "You and my fifth brother look similar. He is seventeen years old this year and is working in the Ping Yao Office."

Go Jin scratched his head, "Is Ping Demon Agency... a place to catch monsters?"

"Yes." Feng Yan lowered her eyes, and was still slowly pushing in her hand, "You know this way of knowing the art of forbidden anger, and didn't you think you could go to the Ping Yao Office to find a job?"

Qi Jin's head shook like a rattle, "No-"

"Why?" Feng Yan turned his head slightly, "Do you Lord Wei give you a lot of monthly money every month?"

"We don't need monthly money, we just follow Lord Wei, because our lives are saved by Lord Wei." Qu Shen said, "Where are we, we are."

Feng Yan smiled, "I'm very loyal."

Go Jin patted his chest, "It's the same for the adults, and for the wife!"

The carving knife in Feng Yan's hand suddenly stopped and looked up, only to see Feng Yan looking at him quietly.

For a moment, I felt that all the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

"How... why did my wife look at me like this...I...I didn't lie."

"...Well, I know." She replied softly.

Feng Yan did not explain.

The room became quiet again, and in the quiet mansion, only the sound of carving knives cutting on bamboo pieces could be heard.

——If you go, you are completely sincere, without any flattery or flattery.

It would be better to say that it was because this sentence was too sincere that it made her feel strange.

Will a normal person... have such sincerity towards a master who has just met for a while?

Either they love the house and the Wu, because they are loyal to Wei Xingzhen, they also dedicated the same loyalty to themselves.

Either, something went wrong with her own awareness - after all, on the summer solstice, when the tree demon attacked Mingtang, she acted extremely slow and did not react until the last moment.

...

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and then Wei Xingzhen and Ji Ran walked in.

"Why?" Wei Xingzhen frowned, "Why are you staying here? Didn't I tell you that you shouldn't get close to the small building?"

Go to Shiru received a general amnesty and stood up and said, "It was my wife who asked me to stay here and chat with her, so..."

"Yes," Feng Yan smiled, "It's delayed you, go and have a rest."

After he went there, Wei Xingzhen said again, "Go and add a meal, and then ask the kitchen to make more meals for one person, and Lord Ji will eat with us in the evening."

"I understand." He went to Feng Yan, Wei Xingzhen and the others bowed twice, and then ran out as if they were flying.

Ji Ran looked at his departure back and couldn't help but say, "No matter how you say it, you are the principal servant's mansion, why are the servants so frivolous... There are no rules."
