The date of birth given by Wen Jiucheng just now is false.

As a Taoist, he must not easily tell people who are not familiar with how important the horoscope of the way of nature is.

So he deliberately used a fake birthday horoscope to test the other party.

As for this fake birthday horoscope, he actually saw it on a tablet when he went to the Fang family ancestral hall. He doesn't remember who it is, but it can be written on the tablet. died.

This coincides with the result calculated by the old god.

Wen Jiucheng didn't know if it was a pure coincidence, or if the old god really had some skills.

But no matter which one it is, Wen Jiucheng doesn't intend to reveal the birth date of the elder brother to outsiders.

He seemed to be trying to think back, and then sighed helplessly.

"Sorry, I actually can't remember his birthday, maybe I remember it wrong."

Because of his words, Shang Kui immediately slowed down and moved his right hand away from the handle of the knife.

The atmosphere also eased down.

The old fairy smiled and said: "Little friend, do you want to think about it again?"

Wen Jiucheng shook his head: "Forget it, we won't waste the Taoist priest's time, let's stop here today, and the Taoist priest will worry about it."

The old god asked: "Don't you stay and have a fast meal before leaving?"

Jian Shujie also said: "Zi Zai Guan's vegetarian food is very famous, it's rare for you two to come here once, it would be a pity if you don't try it."

Wen Jiucheng still shook his head and politely declined.

The old god couldn't force him to stay any longer, so he reminded: "Remember to take the silver ticket away."

One hundred taels is not a small amount, it is enough for Shang Kui's salary for half a year, he dare not casually give away such a large amount of money as a favor.

He took back the bank note generously, and saluted with fists in his hands.

"I've been bothering you a lot today, so I invite Daoist Haihan to visit again when I'm free."

The old god also stood up: "The poor Taoist will definitely sweep the couch to welcome you."

He personally sent the two of them out of the room.

After Wen Jiucheng and Shang Kui left Zizai Temple, they returned to the inn by the same route.

It was time for lunch when they arrived at the inn.

While eating, Wen Jiucheng said to Shang Kui.

"In the afternoon, ask someone to inquire about the affairs of the sheriff's office."

Shang Kui looked puzzled: "It's fine, what are you doing to inquire about the affairs of the Sheriff's Mansion?"

Wen Jiucheng: "You will know when the time comes."

The Yulin Guards spent the whole afternoon inquiring, and they didn't all come back until it was completely dark.

They summarized the information they obtained and reported it to Shang Kui.

When Shang Kui came to find Wen Jiucheng, Wen Jiucheng was reading a book in his room.

Seeing Shang Kui coming, he put down his book, motioned him to sit down, and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Shang Kui didn't know how to taste tea, so he drank it like a cow chewing a peony.

Wen Jiucheng picked up his teacup and tasted it slowly.

Shang Kui slammed his mouth and said.

"Yu Linwei has inquired about it, and the reputation of Jian County Guard in the local area is not particularly good, nor is it particularly bad.

When others give him gifts, he usually accepts them.

He is a bit greedy and a bit philistine, but it is still within the controllable range.

He is still loyal to the imperial court, likes to be gentle in his work, and is quite kind to the common people, without any official airs.

In short, there are many minor problems, and the major problems have not been discovered for the time being, so I can barely be regarded as a mediocre person. "

Wen Jiucheng: "How is the situation in his family?"

Shang Kui touched his chin and said while recalling.

"His parents passed away a few years ago. He has a son and a daughter under his knees, all of whom are descendants. The son went out to study, and the daughter has also married to another place. Now they are not in Fufeng City."

Wen Jiucheng: "That is to say, besides himself, there is only his wife in his family?"

Shang Kui: "It should be. I heard that the relationship between Jian Junshou and his wife is very deep. Now that the county sheriff's wife is seriously ill, Jian Junshou is still lingering, seeking medical advice everywhere, and even praying to gods and Buddhas. They are all used, such a deeply affectionate couple, it should be very difficult to intervene in other people."

He paused here, with a look of emotion on his face.

"I didn't expect the county guard Jian to look like a philistine, but he has such deep affection for his first wife. Sure enough, he can't look at the surface."

Wen Jiucheng echoed casually: "Well, people have two sides."

Shang Kui asked, "What do you want to ask about?"

Wen Jiucheng: "It's nothing, I just want to know what kind of person Jane is."

Shang Kui was still confused.

He didn't understand why Wen Jiucheng suddenly became curious about Jian Shujie's matter?

These two people had nothing to do with each other before, and they had nothing to do with each other!

Wen Jiucheng: "Let's leave the city tomorrow."

Shang Kui was surprised: "We haven't found Imperial Physician Fang yet! If we leave the city tomorrow, what will Imperial Physician Fang do?"

Wen Jiucheng said helplessly: "We have tried our best, we have searched all the places we can find, and there is nothing we can do if we can't find anyone. Instead of wasting things here, why don't we go and look elsewhere, maybe Doctor Fang has already left Fufeng City, did you go to another place?"

Shang Kui still hesitated: "But the imperial concubine said that Doctor Fang is in Fufeng City."

Wen Jiucheng: "Maybe she made a mistake."

Shang Kui wanted to say something more, but Wen Jiucheng secretly winked at him by bowing his head to drink tea.

Shang Kui understood the meaning of that look——

That was his cue to stop talking.

Shang Kui's mind was spinning fast.

Mr. Wen suddenly refused to let him speak, obviously because he was worried about something.

Thinking of what happened before, Shang Kui quickly came to the conclusion that someone was spying on them!

The door is guarded by Yulin Guards, so it must be safe. The windows are open, and this is the second floor, and there is a busy street downstairs. If someone climbs up to the second floor to peep, they will definitely be spotted by the pedestrians on the street.

Then, the only place where people can hide is the roof!

Shang Kui wanted to raise his head subconsciously, but he coughed heavily on Wen Jiucheng twice.

"Ahem! I feel uncomfortable in my throat. I may have caught a cold."

Shang Kui suppressed the urge to raise his head, and asked with concern, "Do you want the doctor to show you?"

Wen Jiucheng waved his hand: "No, it's just a small problem. Let me sleep well and I should be fine."

Shang Kui stood up: "Then you have a good rest, I won't bother you."

He declined Wen Jiucheng's offer to see him off, and walked straight out of the room, not forgetting to close the door at the end.

Only Wen Jiucheng was left in the house.

He called his clerk, cleaned up the teapots and cups on the desk, washed up briefly, blew out the oil lamp, and went to bed.

There was a night wind blowing, making a slight sound.

A black shadow flashed past the open window, and quickly disappeared into the night, completely disappearing.

Wen Jiucheng, who was already asleep, opened his eyes silently.

He took out a note that smelled of incense ash from his sleeve.

This is the note he took out from the censer of the ancestral hall, and it is also a clue left to him by the elder brother.

Unfold the note, there are only three words on it——

Sheriff's Office.

...
