Midnight is like ink.

The wind seemed to fall asleep.

Sima Lantai walked into the room, and the aftertaste of the fragrance had not yet dissipated.

He opened the door and walked to the bed to call Su Haoyi. It took him a long time to wake her up.

Su Haoyi opened his eyes and asked in the dark: "Has anyone come?"

Sima Lantai nodded.

Su Haoyi asked again: "Can you catch it?"

Sima Lantai said: "They followed."

Su struggled to get up and said, "The fish finally took the bait, we have to go and have a look."

"If you are caught in the incense, please slow down and don't rush at this moment." Sima Lantai said and handed her a glass of warm water.

Su devoured the water, touched the pillow, and smiled and said, "No wonder my grandfather couldn't figure out his background for so many years. This man was really cunning. He stole the silver when he stole the box. In this way, people might mistakenly think that he was an ordinary thief."

Sima Lantai said: "I don't know if that person is the same person you guessed."

Su sighed kindly and said, "I don't want it to be him either, I hope it's me who guessed it wrong."

"The people in the magistrate will naturally repay you, so you can sleep for a while." Sima Lantai tucked the quilt to Su Haoyi.

"I can't sleep, otherwise you can hold me." Su Haoyi reached out to Sima Lantai.

Sima Lantai took off his shoes and went to bed.

At the bright day, someone knocked on the door outside, and Su Haoyi and Sima Lantai got up.

Outside the door was Mo Tong and a coachman dressed in a carriage. When he saw Sima Lantai, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "The youngest is a servant from the prefectural prefecture, named Tong Jing, who was sent to do business for the young master."

Sima Lantai said: "If you have any work, how is the progress of things?"

Tong Jing said, "If you come back to the young master, after the man left here, we followed him not far and near. He went to Sanhua Valley in the west overnight, thirty or forty miles away. There was a thatched hut there, and he did not come out after he entered. Our people quietly surrounded the place and did not dare to go forward as you told me."

"Do you see clearly what that person looks like?" Su Haoyi asked from the side.

"The man was dressed in black and covered in his face, so he couldn't see clearly. He could only tell that he was tall." Tong Jing replied.

"So, let's go over and take a look." Su said kindly: "No further."

Everyone went downstairs. The shop clerk who had abdominal pain last night had already recovered much. He could recover by taking the medicine prescribed by Sima Lantai.

In order to make it easier to walk, Su Haoyi, Sima Lantai and others rode their horses, and arrived in just two quarters of an hour after thirty or forty miles.

When it was almost here, there was a sound of explosion, accompanied by a scream.

Su's kind-hearted horse was shocked and stood up with her front legs. If she hadn't held the reins tightly, she would have fallen.

The sound was made from the thatched hut in front. Sima Lantai and Su Haoyi looked at each other, and Su Haoyi said, "Let's go over and take a look."

Everyone urged the horse to reach the hut, and the yamen runners who were lying around appeared and surrounded them.

Before entering the door, he smelled the gunpowder breath. Tong Jing kicked the door open first and said, "You two young men, don't go in first, wait for the villain to come in and take a look."

The magistrate ordered that these two people should not be allowed to take risks.

Tong Jing and two other people went in, and soon they carried someone out.

The man had fainted and was still wearing black clothes.

His hands were injured by the explosion, his fingers were broken, and his palms became incomplete.

"You are indeed not wrong." Sima Lantai said to Su Haoyi.

"Senior brother, you'd better treat him first," Su Haoyi lowered his eyes: "Secretly, ask him when he wakes up."

The man's hands were seriously injured. If not dealt with in time, it is very likely to worsen or even endanger his life.

When Sima Lantai stopped him from bleeding and bandaging, it was already dawn.

Sima Lantai took out a silver needle and stabbed it on several of his acupoints, so that he could not move even if he woke up.

"Put him on the carriage and take us back to Xianyuan Mountain." Sima Lantai ordered.

They came in front of them, and Mo Tong was driving the car behind them, and it was also here.

"This...why..." Mo Tong didn't know what to say when he saw the man.

"Don't ask too much, you will know it then." Su Haoyi said to him.

"Young Master Su, your eyes are getting better?" Mo Tong was surprised to see Su Haoyi. Young Master Su's eyes were obviously invisible.

"Don't worry, you know when you know." Su nodded to him with a good smile, his eyes fluttering, which had a deeper meaning.

Mo Tong immediately understood and stopped asking.

It is only a few dozen miles from here to return to Xianyuan Mountain, and we arrived before lunch.

Uncle Cui, who was looking at the mountain gate, was surprised to see Su Haoyi and Sima Lantai returning. He came out of the doorman and asked, "Why are you two back? But what have you forgotten?"

Su said kindly: "Something has not been handled, so I'll come back and finish it."

At this time, Tong Jing and others had already lifted the man out of the car. He was awake, but closed his eyes and said nothing.

It looked like a wild beast being caught pretending to be dead.

Uncle Cui was shocked when he saw this and asked, "What's wrong with this? Why are you injured?"

"Uncle Cui, let's go up the mountain first." Mo Tong waved his hand and asked Tong Jing and the others to carry the people up the mountain, and said to Uncle Cui: "We don't know much about this."

"But..." Uncle Cui wanted to ask something, these people had already gone up the mountain.

"How could Master be injured?" Uncle Cui said to himself: "It's fine to go down the mountain the day before yesterday."

"You have fast legs and feet, go up the mountain first to report to Master Boyun and my master." Sima Lantai ordered Mo Tong: "Just say we will carry the person to Guyun Peak in the back mountain in a while."

After Mo Tong received the order, Sa Ya ran up the mountain, and did not dare to stop even if he took a step.

"Senior brother, I'll go to my grandfather's place later. I can't hide this from him." Su Liangyi said to Sima Lantai in a low voice.

"I'll send two people to come with you." Sima Lantai was worried that she was alone.

After going up the mountain, Sima Lantai took his men to the back mountain.

Su Haoyi went to the residence of Master Danfeng.

"Why are you back?" Master Danfeng was very surprised.

"I have something big to ask you to testify." Su said kindly: "Please condescend and move and go with me to the back mountain."

"What are you doing there? Do you see Ye Hanxing?" Master Danfeng was puzzled: "Don't he not like to meet people?"

"This time and another time, not to mention that there are really important things today." Su said kindly and helped his master up: "You can't do it without you."

"What's so mysterious? I have to mess with my old bones?" Although Master Danfeng said this, he walked out with Su Haoyi.
