However, it was only some clothes and silver. They did not find the previous emperor’s edict.

“In addition, there’s a rattle drum and a letter.”

In the study, Su MO handed the rattle drum and family letter to Su Xiaoxiao.

The rattle was new and looked like it had just been bought.

The handwriting on the family letter was delicate, as if it was written by a woman. The content was very simple. It was nothing more than that everything was fine at home. Please take care of yourself. It was signed by Jinniang.

“Have you found out where the letter came from?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su MO nodded. “The envelope has the official seal of the city’s south relay station. It was sent from a place called Liu Village.”

Although the capital was large, it was not without villages. There were still many villages in the suburbs, but they were larger and richer than the villages in the prefectures and counties.

The two of them immediately set off. It was evening when they arrived at Liu Village.

Considering that Zhang Feng might be an alias, they asked about Jinniang according to the signature on the letter.

“The one at the east end,” said a kind-hearted aunt.

The two of them thanked the aunt and found the family.

The courtyard door was open. A young woman was carrying a one-year-old child in one hand and collecting clothes on the clothesline with the other. The mattress was too big. She couldn’t pull it off for a long time.

Su Xiaoxiao helped her. “Here.”

She was slightly stunned and looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Su MO suspiciously.

“You are…”

“We’re here to look for Zhang Feng, ” Su Xiaoxiao said tentatively.

The woman’s eyes flashed.

An old voice came from the house. “Jinniang, who’s here? Is Da Niu back?”

The woman looked at the central room and said, “No, Mother. She’s asking for directions.”

The elderly person said kindly, “Ah, tell him then.”

The child in her arms was probably afraid of strangers and was about to cry. Su Xiaoxiao took out a piece of candy and handed it to him.

He immediately stopped crying and grabbed the candy with his small hand.

“My mother-in-law,” the woman said to Su Xiaoxiao. “She’s old and has poor eyesight. She can only sit in the house.”

Su Xiaoxiao understood what she meant. “We won’t disturb the elderly. We’re from the government. We don’t have any ill intentions. We just want to ask you something.”

Su MO took out the official token to verify their identities.

From time to time, villagers would pass by the door. Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo’s clothes were too eye-catching. They had faced the yellow soil their entire lives and had never seen such beautiful people. They couldn’t help but look at both sides.

“Let’s talk in the kitchen.”

The woman brought the two of them to the kitchen beside the central room and brought small stools for them.

“There’re no chairs. Sorry to inconvenience you.”

She sat on the threshold with the child herself.

The two sat down.

From her, Su Xiaoxiao learned that Zhang Feng’s real name was Zhang Daniu. He was born and raised in Liu Village. When he was ten years old, he went to town to learn martial arts and later served as an escort.

“He runs escorts all year round and can’t return more than a few times a year..

He has a lot of food and clothes at home.”

She did not dare to show her wealth too much, afraid that it would arouse suspicion… Su Xiaoxiao came from a village. She knew the current standard of living of this family at a glance.

Jinniang did not know Zhang Feng’s true identity. They quietly searched the house but did not find the late emperor’s edict.

Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao gave Jinniang the matching cards she had plundered from Zhang Feng.

“You don’t want the silver anymore?” Su MO asked after coming out.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “A gentleman loves money but should get it through legitimate means. I’ll go get mine from Zhao Kangning.”

Su MO chuckled.

The two of them got into the carriage. “Benefactors, please wait a moment!”

Jin Niang jogged over, panting.

Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain of the car window and looked at her. “Is there anything else?”

A hint of struggle flashed across Jin Niang’s face. “He’s from the White Lotus Society, right?”

Su Xiaoxiao paused and nodded. “Yes.”

Jin Niang smiled bitterly. “The Imperial Court is wiping out the White Lotus Society. Many people have been captured… If you come to him, it means that he hasn’t been caught yet… I only hope that he can hide as far away as possible… and never come back.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her deeply. “The Imperial Court will pursue him with all its might.”

Jinniang’s eyes turned red. She raised her hand to wipe her tears and smiled as she watched the two of them leave.

The carriage had just taken two steps when she spoke again. “Flying Cloud Restaurant… I heard him mention it. If you’re looking for something, you can go there to take a look.”

Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and nodded at her to thank her.

After the carriage drove for a while, Su Xiaoxiao said, “She knows that Zhang Feng is dead, but as long as I don’t expose it, she can pretend that Zhang Feng is still alive.”

Su MO said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at his confused expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you think something’s wrong?”

Su MO shook his head. “No, I’m just surprised.”

Su Xiaoxiao recalled. “It was already obvious what she looked like just now.”

Su MO said seriously, “But I wasn’t not looking at her. I was looking at you.”

He only looked at his sister.

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

The city gate closed. Fortunately, Su MO brought the Old Marquis’s token and successfully got the city guard to open the city gate.

Su MO sent Su Xiaoxiao back to the Wei family. “I’ll investigate the Flying Cloud Restaurant.”

“Wait, I remember something,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “The Flying Cloud Restaurant is King Nanyang’s stronghold. Last night, the Gu Master planned to bring Dahu and the others to the Flying Cloud Restaurant to hide. Did Zhang Feng hide the imperial edict under King Nanyang’s nose?”

Su MO said, “The most dangerous place is the safest place.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. “That’s true.”

Su MO said softly, “Wait for my news.”

Su Xiaoxiao yawned. “Okay.”

Su MO asked, “Are you tired so early?”

Su Xiaoxiao said listlessly, “You don’t understand the aftereffects of removing the Gu.”

Su MO frowned. “Was Wei Ting poisoned again?”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao drank her tea.

Su MO thought for a moment and said seriously, “You can teach me. I’ll solve it for Wei Ting next time.”

“Pfft—” Su Xiaoxiao spat out a mouthful of tea..
