In the courtyard, Guard Xiao was still talking about the matter of Yu State, but at this time he talked about Yan State from Yu State. And the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were looking at Guard Xiao with a tentative look at the door of the courtyard, as if staring at a storyteller.

In the guards, there was a commander of the city lord's mansion, Ling Yao. He also gathered with everyone and listened with relish.

Ning Bai and the other two were surprised. When did Guard Xiao become so eloquent...

"Let's go over there." Bai Chengzhi did not go back to the west wing immediately, but pulled Ye Ningyu to knock on the door of the room with a pockmarked face in the east wing.

Mazifang was quite surprised to see the two of them coming to find him. "What's wrong?"

The two entered the house and turned around and closed the door.

"Senior, did you give you a jar of wine? Is that wine still there?" Bai Chengzhi looked around the house and asked slowly.

The gaze of the pockmarked face suddenly became alert, and his eyes turned. "What do you... want to do? That kind of thing is given by someone else, don't think of confiscating it..."

"Senior, why did we confiscate it? I just thought the wine was delicious, so I thought about it. If it was good, we would also ask Lord Wang for a jar with shamelessness." Ye Ningyu smiled.

"Seriously?" said Maziface, not hiding her private parts. She took out a jar of wine from the cabinet in the room and walked to the middle of the two with a smile. "Come on." He walked through the two and placed the jar on the table.

Then, Maziface opened the wine plug and a strong smell of wine came to her face.

The two of them approached the wine jar and sniffed it carefully, their movements and expressions were very serious.

Seeing that the two of them were so reluctant, Mazifang took two cups casually. "I am not a stingy man, come on, pour some for you!"

Mazimao poured two glasses and handed them to the two of them. Bai Chengzhi took the glass and tasted it. "It was the ten-year-old wine we drank in the wine cellar." He looked at Ye Ningyu and said.

"Wine cellar? What wine cellar?" Ma Zi's face suddenly heard that there was a wine cellar, and her eyes lit up a little.

But Ningbai and the other two seemed to have not heard the conversation with Mazifaced. Ye Ningyu looked at Bai Chengzhi in agreement. "It's the same."

Then, the two turned to the pockmarked face at the same time.

"Senior, is this wine... really given by Lord Wang?" Ye Ningyu looked very suspicious.

"Of course." Mazi's face seemed to notice something was wrong and looked at Ning Bai and the others. "What's wrong?"

"Did Lord Wang personally bring someone to give you this jar of wine?"

"Oh, that's not. Lord Wang saw me drinking more at the wine table last night, so he said he would give me another jar. This morning, Guard Ling brought the wine."

"Guard Ling..." Ning Bai and the others looked at each other, and both frowned.

Ye Ningyu slowly walked to the door, and the situation in the courtyard could be vaguely seen through the crack of the door. Ling Yao was standing with a group of guards in the city lord's mansion from afar, listening to Guard Xiao chatting.

"What's wrong?" Mazifang asked hurriedly when they saw that their faces seemed to be different.

"Senior, the guard commander of the City Lord's Mansion is very close to you?" Bai Chengzhi asked in a low voice.

"No." Mazichao touched the back of his head, "We have never seen each other alone. I will meet him for as many times as you have seen him for as many times as you have seen him." Mazichao looked confused.

"Maybe we're overthinking."

The two of them talked to Mazifa for a while and then left.

For two or three days, the city lord's mansion was calm. Ning Bai and Ma Zifang went out to stroll in the daytime and returned to the city lord's mansion tonight.

On the evening of the third day, Ye Ningyu and Bai Chengzhi were reading books in the house when they saw Wusheng suddenly coming in from outside the door like a gust of wind.

"Young Master, I found it." Wusheng said, and handed a letter to Bai Chengzhi.

Bai Chengzhi took the letter and looked at it, then looked up at Ye Ningyu, "It's true that's not what we expected."

Ye Ningyu picked up the letter and glanced quickly. This was the situation found by the secret guards outside the city lord's mansion.

That day, Bai Chengzhi asked them to check the storyteller. Several secret guards followed each other for two or three days, and finally they found the clues. In the past few days, the storyteller went to many restaurants to tell stories. Although he also talked about other books, what he said most was the affairs of Nangong and Baili family.

Every day after the storyteller, the storyteller would eat noodles with others at a noodle stall in the east of the city. The person who eats noodles with the same table would put a purse on the table before leaving. The storyteller would take the purse away after eating noodles.

On the first day, they thought it was a coincidence. But after several days, it was like this every day. Bai Chengzhi's secret guards had to doubt the strangeness of this matter. So they began to follow the man who left his wallet every day, and checked his ancestors for the eighteen generations.

Only then did they realize that the diner who gave money to storytellers all day was just an ordinary Luoshui City people. But he had a distant relative who had entered Kyoto several years ago and heard that he was working as a servant in the Nangong family. It is still unclear how he is doing now.

Looking at the words on the letter paper, Bai Chengzhi lit a fire note, and soon the letter turned into a ball of ashes.

"Do you think this is a coincidence?" Bai Chengzhi stared at Ye Ningyu.

Ye Ningyu shook his head, "It's definitely not a coincidence. I'm even wondering if it's really these phenomena created by the Nangong family members in Luoshui City."

"Family disputes have always been cruel. Thinking back to the beginning, Baili and Nangong were among the top major families in Yan Kingdom, and even the foundation of the Baili family was firmly strengthened by Nangong. In this case, Baili family lost their lives and declined within a few years, and there must be a reason for the decline."

"I can't understand why a large family with such a deep-rooted force colluded with it for an uncertain group of traitors." Ye Ningyu murmured.

In Ye Ningyu, she felt nervous every time she heard words such as treason and collusion. Ye Yongchang was framed by an inexplicable letter and colluded with the Liang army. This scam was the origin of the tragedy of the Ye family.

Therefore, based on some strange phenomena I have seen in the past few days, Ye Ningyu subconsciously believed that the Baili family may not be what he heard.

"It seems that we have to go to Kyoto as soon as possible." Bai Chengzhi thought for a while and made a decision.

"Okay, then when will we leave?"

"Get out early tomorrow morning."

That night, Bai Chengzhi personally found Wang Susu and talked about their next itinerary. Wang Susu naturally forced himself to stay for a long time, but it was not difficult to delay Bai Chengzhi's serious business, so he had to agree.

Wang Susu set up a big banquet to see off the few people. He repeatedly emphasized that when the work in Kyoto is over, the few people must return to Luoshui to stay for more days.

After Bai Chengzhi patted his chest several times, Wang Susu agreed to let him go.
