In order to deceive others, Zheng Shi deliberately dressed up as Lou Qiyan and appeared in front of Fan Yun and Tian Xing. Tian Xing saw through it at a glance. Fan Yun couldn't help but joke about it, laughing at him for all his efforts in vain.Zheng Shi was not angry, but instead prepared a meal to entertain the two of them warmly. He bluntly said that he would wait until the two of them had eaten and rested before taking out the account book to check. His words were full of heartache, and he lamented that Fan Yun had worked hard recently and lost a lot of weight.After the two of them finished eating, Zheng Shi took out the account book.After careful checking, Fan Yun found that the total price of the accounts was not correct, but the individual pricing of various goods was indeed much higher than the market price.Upon seeing this, Zheng Shi reminded Fan Yun that if he persisted in suspecting corruption in Diansi, he might be pursuing the wrong direction.

At the same time, the four Yongcheng brothers came to visit Qi Zheng together, asking for help sincerely, hoping that a capable person would come forward to rescue the people of Yongcheng who were in deep trouble.Qi Zheng immediately agreed to help. The four of them felt grateful and talked with Qi Zheng over wine, agreeing not to return until they were drunk.Several people took turns urging him to drink, until Qi Zheng was slightly drunk, and the four brothers quietly left.After everyone left, Fan Yun immediately stood up and sent someone to invite Mr. Wei to urgently discuss matters related to Yongcheng.
Misfortunes never come singly. The parents of the four brothers in Yongcheng suddenly contracted the epidemic and both died.Someone proposed to dispose of the body by cremation to prevent the spread of the epidemic, but the four brothers refused to agree because of their family ties.In desperation, Jiang Shu could only put aside the controversy for the time being and concentrate on studying the treatment of the epidemic and looking for symptomatic prescriptions.
Before the turmoil subsided, Qi Zheng specially summoned Fan Yun to meet him. The two did not have a quiet chat for a long time.Fan Yun raised his eyes and saw the flowers and trees beside the road. He vaguely recalled the past memories of getting along with Qi Zheng under this tree, and his mind moved slightly.She immediately informed Qi Zheng of all the doubts about the anomalies in Diansi's accounts and the fact that the total price of Juyun Pavilion was correct but the unit price was inflated.After hearing this, Qi Zheng told her not to stop and continue to investigate further.Fan Yun looked troubled and said frankly that he knew Diansi was hiding something fishy, but he could never find the key evidence.Qi Zheng thought for a moment and gave her some advice, asking her to take off her identity as an official and change into ordinary civilian clothes to investigate secretly. She might get unexpected results.After that, he took out a hand-carved hairpin and gave it to Fan Yun, but deliberately downplayed it and lied that it was an object picked up casually on the roadside.Fan Yun understood it and did not expose it in public. He accepted it with a smile and left happily.
The four brothers in Yongcheng were grieved and resentful. They blamed Fan Yun for all the epidemic disasters. They believed that since Fan Yun became a female official, Yongcheng has been plagued by disasters and devastated people.Upon seeing this, Mr. Cai quickly persuaded everyone, telling everyone that the top priority now is to treat patients and contain the epidemic, rather than assigning blame.At the same time, he suggested that Tian Xing, who was born in Yongcheng, go to the epidemic area to handle matters. He is the most suitable candidate.
After receiving the order, Fan Yun and Tian Xing went out together, secretly tracing the whereabouts of Dian Si's corrupt money and searching for clues.The two came to the market storytelling place and heard the storyteller talk about something strange in the southern suburbs: a remote house that had been uninhabited all year round had been haunted and strange noises had been heard frequently in recent days, causing everyone to talk about it.That night, the two went to investigate together.Knowing that the house was eerie and lurking unknown dangers, Fan Yun still decided to go inside to find out. Before entering, he even left a secret sign outside the house in case of emergency.
The house was gloomy, dark and silent, and white shadows frequently passed by behind them. The two of them were frightened to the point of exclaiming several times.Even though he was afraid, Fan Yun refused to give up halfway, thinking that since he was frightened and flinched, he would only miss clues and lose more than he gained.The two of them calmed down and slowly explored the road while holding fire sticks.During the march, when Fan Yun turned back, Tian Xing was nowhere to be seen, only a blurry figure in front of him.She plucked up the courage and stepped forward with a wooden stick in hand to hit hard.It turns out that Tian Xing deliberately pretended to be a headless ghost to tease people, but instead frightened the people pretending to be ghosts in the dark and fled in panic.Fan Yun concluded from this that the frequent hauntings here must be deliberately disguised, and there must be ulterior secrets hidden in the house.
There was a heavy coffin placed in the center of the hall. Fan Yun observed carefully and found that there were obvious signs of being dragged and moved around the edges of the coffin.She worked together to push the coffin away, only to see that the coffin was filled with silver coins, and it was obvious that Tian Xing had not received the election congratulatory money hidden in it.After grasping the key evidence, Fan Yun set off immediately, planning to return to the city to report the truth to Qi Zheng.
Fan Yun was anxious and hurried back. On the way, he was suddenly intercepted and hijacked by a speeding carriage.On the other side, Qi Zheng was uneasy when he saw Fan Yun and Tian Xing returning. When he came to look for them, he only saw Bo Qin.He instantly realized that the situation was critical and immediately ordered everyone to separate and search for the two men.
The people who kidnapped Fan Yun were the four Yongcheng brothers.Not only did they kidnap Fan Yun, but they also specially dressed Tian Xing up as a groom, holding a long sword firmly against Fan Yun's neck.When Fan Yun saw this, he immediately understood the other party's plot and knew that today was the day when Tian Xing was forced to go to the church to get married. He pretended to be calm and asked the four brothers where the bride was.The four Yongcheng brothers immediately took out a portrait of a woman and showed it to Tian Xing.When Tian Xing saw clearly the ferocious appearance of the woman in the portrait, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned around to flee, but was forcibly stopped by the crowd, who forced him to pay homage to the portrait.
At the critical moment, Tian Xing blurted out Fan Yun's name in desperation.When the four brothers learned that the woman in front of them was Fan Yun, their eyes widened with anger and they raised their swords to kill her.In the thin line between life and death, Fan Yun suddenly remembered that in the past, when Tian Xing was drunk, his temperament would change drastically, his martial arts would skyrocket, and he would transform into Tian Yue.She immediately reminded Tian Xing loudly to drink quickly.Tian Xing immediately raised his glass and drank the strong wine, his eyes instantly turned red, his body shape suddenly changed, he jumped up, and escaped with Fan Yun.
Tian Xing, who transformed into Tian Yue, protected Fan Yun and fled on the streets of the busy city. The four Yongcheng brothers followed closely behind him, chasing after him.In the end, the two were forced into a blind corner by the pursuing soldiers, with no way to advance or retreat.At the critical moment, Lou Qiyan and his men arrived in time and successfully rescued Fan Yun. All four Yongcheng brothers were captured and punished by hanging.The four brothers cried bitterly and knelt down to beg for mercy.Lou Qiyan didn't want to get entangled too much, and specially prepared horses for Fan Yun, urging her to set off immediately and leave this place quickly.
