After staying in Qi'an County, there were many visitors from the next day. The gentry and officials in the county basically visited one side. Even the governors of Xuzhou sent people to invite them to visit. Cao Hua naturally refused and only received them in his house where he stayed, giving him enough gifts to return.

It was still ten days before the first day of March, and it was still early. Heiyuwei inspected the surrounding area to check the water source. The expected scene of countless people from the Jianghu came to take revenge has not yet appeared, but sooner or later, people from Jianghu with deep blood and hatred will come to fly to the fire. There are no beautiful scenery in the county town. Cao Hua rarely goes out and chats with Niang Jing most of the time.

Mrs. Jing is not a slut, but she is not very generous. She is very virtuous when cooking, washing, serving tea and water for him every day, but she will not agree to let her sleep in the same bed at night. Her face is always red, and she has the resentment of losing her freedom in her eyes, but she dares not say it out. She hides far away when she sees Han'er, obviously still embarrassed by the fact that she was almost knocked out that morning.

Han'er was nothing unusual. In her heart, the young master was a man of the same kind. It was natural for a few wives and concubines to serve her. As long as she was not allowed to serve her, there was no need to take her heart.

After Cao Hua had several rounds of guests who visited him, it was already February 23. Tie Xiao had no news. Cao Hua knew that he must have been staring in the dark, but he didn't see him sending a letter to say hello. To be honest, he was a bit inappropriate.

The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is more than ten miles outside the county town. Cao Hua couldn't wait until the first day of March to check the terrain. In order to be prepared, he took Concubine Zhu Qu to the ruins of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau in a carriage.

Zhu Qufei has been very idle these days. As a gangster, she is naturally a little uncomfortable staying surrounded by the Hei Yuwei Guard. But her reputation is so bad that there are also many people who want to kill her. In order to prevent her from dying outside when she goes out to wander, she has been honestly at home these days.

Zhu Qufei is a chatterbox. As long as she stays with others, she has basically never stopped talking. But now she is unwilling to provoke Hei Yuwei, and Cao Hua ignores her. All that is left is Han'er and Miss Jing. Needless to say, Han'er wishes she could go as far as she can, and don't seduce my son. Concubine Zhu Qu can't even see Han'er, and can only chat with Miss Jing, who is also born in the world.

In Zhu Qufei's eyes, Miss Jing was a real young man. It was the best thing to fool him without knowing anything. After learning that Miss Jing had an ambiguous relationship with Cao Hua, she suddenly became interested and all kinds of messy words came out. She even taught her how to hook up with men, even pointing at martial arts, and acting like a teacher.

Mrs. Jing has a simple personality and does not have so many twists and turns. After seeing Concubine Zhu Qu's skills, she asked for advice on how to seduce men. As for the means of seducing men, she always pretended not to hear them. In Mrs. Jing's heart, Cao Hua was like an old man. He could basically not escape if he dared to be alone with him, so there was no need to seduce him.

Zhu Qufei was very happy. After all, only Mrs. Jing was willing to listen to her nagging in the house. She could eat free food every day and didn't treat herself as an outsider at all.

Today, when he went to Zhenyuan Escort Agency, Zhu Qufei was rarely solemn. She wore a white dress without makeup, bought incense paper money and other items, but her arm injury had not healed yet, so she asked Cao Hua to help carry it.

As the saying goes, "Women should be filial." Concubine Qu dresses up like this, with a bit of "long frowns, green, and red" that makes her look much more attractive than when she is shiny. When she sits on the carriage, she is like a small portal lady who accompanys her juniors out to burn incense.

Ten miles away, I soon arrived near a village outside Qi'an County, and could see a dilapidated building from afar.

The surrounding fields and mountains are dyed with tender green, and some farmers are walking around.

Han'er led Li Bairen and others to drive their horses and followed behind. At this time, he went to various places to investigate and see if there were any suspicious people around him.

Zhu Qufei lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the buildings in the distance: "That is the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, also known as Xujiazhuang. There were many tenants living in it, and the escorts and long-term workers also lived in it, with hundreds of people. After the Xu family was destroyed, everyone ran away. The place was seized and confiscated by the government. No one was willing to buy a haunted house, so it was abandoned."

As he said that, Zhu Qufei looked at a hillside next to her. The shrubs on it were covered with dry grass, and only a few traces of the stone tablet were seen:

"It was originally the ancestral tomb of the Xu family. After all the people died, the government collected the bodies and buried them there in a hurry. However, a few people were buried beside them alone, and there was a stone tablet, and I don't know who erected it."

Concubine Zhu Qu, who is nearly thirty years old, still maintains a little cynical like the past, but there is a clear sense of sadness in her eyes. Rather than explaining the surrounding terrain to Cao Hua, it is better to say that she is touching the scene and wants to talk to someone.

Cao Hua originally wanted to comfort him, but the one who destroyed the Xu family was the Black Feather Guard. Even if it was a reasonable and legal killing, there was no reason for the later saying "Sadness and resignation". At the moment, he just listened quietly and followed the instructions of Concubine Zhu Qu.

Although there are only a few records in the documentary library of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau for some reasons, many people still remember the situation at that time after nearly twenty years, and they have involved so many people, which is obviously quite large.

The village is under a mountain. The complex of buildings has long been abandoned. In the middle is a large mansion with high walls and large tiles, but many buildings have collapsed after being disrepaired. There is a large stone outside the gate of the mansion, which carved the four words "The sky opens all things".

After Zhu Qufei's explanation, it means that "all things are born to nourish people, and nothing is to repay heaven." This state of thought surprised Cao Hua quite.

The jade pendant that Xie Yijun carries was also given by Concubine Zhu Qu. The source is obviously also from Zhenyuan Escort Agency. The word "Du Xing" also contains great knowledge, which shows that Zhenyuan Escort Agency is not just a group of martial artists.

According to the elderly people in Qi'an County, the Xu family was originally a prominent family here. The head of the family was a very famous figure and had many disciples. Even the head of the Tang family in Taiping Town could only be a follower here when he was young, which shows how high his status in the world was.

There was a seal on the door of the house, but the handwriting was very new. When the Qi'an County Magistrate heard that the Hei Yuwei came to investigate the matter, he quickly polished his gun and did his superficial skills in the face of the battle, so as not to find that Cao Hua would not care about it.

Cao Hua did not uncover the seal, but went straight into the courtyard wall. He saw weeds coming out of the cracks of the stone bricks. There were still embroidered sword remains on the ground, and there were traces of swords left on the pillar walls, which showed how tragic the fight was back then.
