The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl Chapter 1654: There’s Something Wrong with This Courtyard

There was a murder, haunted?

ng Yunzheng looked up at the high walls in front of him and glanced at ng Qi, "Then how do you know it so well?"

ng Qi chuckled awkwardly, "I didn’t know before. I accidentally ran in here to hide while skipping school. I only learned about it when I got ho and my mother ntioned it. After that, I didn’t dare co again."

Of course, mainly because this place is a bit far from the ng family. If you go further left from this large courtyard, you’ll reach the city gate, while the ng family is in the more central part of the county town; without any reason, I wouldn’t co running here.

Now that the situation is urgent, those ghost rumors are sothing we can’t worry about.

ng Qi began to figure out how to break the lock on the small door. The lock was quite old, rusted, and not easy to open.

ng Yunzheng saw him fidgeting for too long without a clue, pushed him aside, took out a dagger, and directly pried off the latch.

ng Qi, "..."

"Let’s go."

ng Qi quickly nodded, and the three of them consecutively squeezed through the small door.

It was evident that no one had been here for a long ti; as soon as ng Qi, who led the way, entered, he got a face full of spider webs.

He quickly removed it, and Shu Yu, who ca in last, only had to deal with a bit of dust, which was much better.

The weeds inside were very tall, and the consequence of neglect was that these weeds blocked most of the view.

"Where’s the back door?" ng Yunzheng asked.

ng Qi quickly pointed to the left, "Walk that way, across this large courtyard, that’s it."

He led the way at the front, but who knew he would suddenly be pulled back by ng Yunzheng after just a few steps.

ng Qi turned his head abruptly, "What is it?"

"No need to go."

ng Qi was confused, "What do you an?"

ng Yunzheng walked towards the corridor beside them and saw a scratch mark on the pillar.

The scratch was not complicated, just a diagonal glance, adding a dot beside it.

Unremarkable, but to soone who knows, it’s obvious at a glance.

Coincidentally, ng Yunzheng was that person who knew.

"This is a mark my father left ," he said, "I’ve seen the sa mark on the street where we were searching for soone earlier. Only back then, soone was watching, so I didn’t ntion it. I originally planned to return to that street and follow the marks, but unexpectedly, there’s one in this courtyard too, which ans this place... has issues."

For over a decade, ng Yunzheng and ng Pei had used many thods to avoid Gong Qiu.

Only they knew these markings, and the two had a tacit understanding. ng Pei most likely guessed that ng Yunzheng would co to Chenggu County.

After all, he always paid attention to the situation here, and if Chenggu County was the first point of incident, he definitely wouldn’t stand by idly.

No matter when he cos, making a mark is never wrong.

ng Qi’s eyes slightly brightened, "So, my father and Eldest Uncle might be here? Then let’s go find them quickly, this..."

"Shh." ng Yunzheng suddenly stopped him, his face changed, and he quickly turned his head.

Then they saw a man standing not far behind them, staring at them with wide eyes.

The next mont, he suddenly took out a whistle and was about to blow it.

ng Qi was shocked, and Shu Yu, without a word, raised her hand and pressed the wrist arrow on her sleeve aid at him.

With a ’whoosh’, the wrist arrow pierced the man’s arm, and the whistle fell to the ground from the pain.

The man scread in pain, and without the whistle, he was about to shout loudly, but it was already too late. ng Yunzheng quickly approached him, lifted his hand, and chopped him unconscious to the ground.
