Chapter 387: Being Followed

After Wei Ziye got the prescription and medicinal herbs, he held Ye Zhixin who was still unconscious and left.

He wasn’t afraid that the old doctor would give him wrong medicinal materials to cheat him. Anyway, the clinic was here, and the doctor couldn’t run away.

If there was something wrong, he would come back at the worst.

Wei Ziye went back to the house and told somebody to decoct medicinal herbs for Ye Zhixin. Then he reported what he had seen and heard to the two masters.

“She is really a young lady from an official’s family.” Shi Qingxue was surprised as she had guessed right.

Moreover, when they came to investigate in Jiangzhou, an official’s daughter with injuries all over her body suddenly showed up at the critical moment, which would make people doubt that there was something fishy.

Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang looked at each other. Mo Junyang asked Wei Ziye, “Where is the supervisor Ye Zhirong?”

“He has left,” Wei Ziye answered subconsciously in a casual voice.

He was once in the gangdom and behaved like most people with the same background. He didn’t like the darkness of the officialdom or the officials.

Shi Qingxue patiently explained Mo Junyang’s question. “Junyang means that Ye Zhirong is the supervisor in Jiangzhou, a Rank-6 official. Where can he go without the transfer order from the imperial court?”

Wei Ziye was stunned. He had never thought of this question, so he didn’t ask.

Shi Qingxue showed an expression that she knew it and then stated, “But judging from Miss Ye’s miserable condition, perhaps Lord Ye won’t be well.”

Ye Zhirong couldn’t even protect his only daughter, so he might have died.

Wei Ziye explained, “I heard the old doctor say that Lord Ye did something to harm all people in the city, so all of them hate him, and he must not live a good life.”

“Did something to harm all people in the city?” Shi Qingxue pondered over these words and looked up at Mo Junyang, asking for his opinion in silence.

Mo Junyang just shook his head and expressed casually, “We will talk about it after Ye Zhixin wakes up.”

“Right, it’s useless even though they guess so much. It’s better to ask the person concerned.” Shi Qingxue nodded in agreement.

She suddenly thought of the solid iron box Ye Zhixin held tightly in her arms before she went into a coma, so she thought that it was not so simple.

Mo Junyang thought alike and told Wei Ziye directly, “Put away her iron box. If she asks, we will say that we have never seen it.”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

Wei Ziye answered, “Yes.”

He carried out the order without hesitation.

“Will it be improper if we do that?” Shi Qingxue asked with uncertainty.

These two men were so composed that she couldn’t help but wonder if she made a fuss about it.

Mo Junyang looked calm and asked in reply impassively, “What will be improper?”

Gee, she really made an unnecessary fuss.

Shi Qingxue was clear about Mo Junyang who would defy trivial conventions in order to achieve his goal, so she pouted and didn’t say anything.

If she argued with Mo Junyang, she would ask for trouble.

“By the way, we have entered the city secretly now. What do you plan to do next?” Shi Qingxue asked curiously.

Mo Junyang was at leisure. “Wait. There will be a turn for the better.”

Shi Qingxue doubtfully looked at Mo Junyang who kept her in suspense. “Really?”

“Wait and see.”

She didn’t ask anymore.

She would wait and see.

However, they stayed in Jiangzhou City for two days, and nothing happened.

Ye Zhixin had woken up twice during the period, yet before she said something, she tilted her head and went into a coma.

Shi Qingxue insisted on asking Mo Junyang to go to the teahouses and got some information.

She heard a lot of odd stories, which were almost the same as what the shopkeeper selling sesame seed cakes and the waiter said. It was uncertain if the legendary stories were real, but all of them were marvelous.

In the end, somebody said that Mo Country offended God, so God punished the country.

Of course, the people who said that didn’t dare to give wide publicity but only chatted with their friends in private, while Shi Qingxue heard that occasionally.

If there was nothing else, Shi Qingxue wouldn’t care about it.

However, they said that the country offended God because the holy bird, the colorful phenix died not long ago…

Shi Qingxue’s expression changed in an instant.

Although before the colorful phenix came into the imperial palace, the news spread everywhere, its death was kept a secret. Except the royal family members of several countries, even the officials in the capital didn’t know the circuitous process.

The officials who knew it were clear about the seriousness of this matter, so they shut their mouths and didn’t dare to reveal it to anybody.

Shi Qingxue knew that the last version in folk must be that the colorful phenix was summoned by God and flew away, and most people were just interested in hot news.

The colorful phenix flew away, and it became a topic of conversation when people were idle.

Nevertheless, judging from what these people meant, had the news of the colorful phenix’s death spread to the remote Jiangzhou City?

Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang nervously, and he just shook his head to comfort her. Then he took her away from the teahouse without saying anything.

The couple walked on the street. In the beginning, they strolled at leisure and looked here and there.

However, while walking, Shi Qingxue suddenly thought that there was something wrong.

She felt that because of the tall and big man next to her.

On the surface, Mo Junyang still stayed next to her like a tall and big door-god, looking expressionless, yet he never left her, the same as usual.

However, Qingxue keenly felt something different. Mo Junyang was more silent today and his expression was stiffer.

When she chose some hairpins, she gave one to Mo Junyang, seeming to ask him to wear it for her, but as they got close to each other, she asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Mo Junyang smiled faintly and whispered in Shi Qingxue’s ear, “Some people are following us. I will take you away later.”

The man’s warm breath was in Qingxue’s ear, and she had a blush instantly, with her red and attractive cheeks like two halves of an apple.

The others only saw that she lowered her head with shyness and moved her lips slightly.

Anybody who saw their interactions would think that it was a young couple passionately in love who flirted with each other, and they wouldn’t suspect.

Moreover, Mo Junyang bought that cute and exquisite jade hairpin at last and wore it for Shi Qingxue in person.

The vendor was a woman in her forties. She was all smiles at the sight of the silver and praised warm-heartedly, “Lady, you are so lucky. Your husband is so tall and handsome and shopping with you. Many people envy you.”

“Really?” Shi Qingxue’s eyes lit up instantly, and slyness flashed in them.

Perhaps others couldn’t notice it, but Mo Junyang was the first one who found her intention.

Before Shi Qingxue started to put on a show, he suggested, “Let’s go.”

Looking at Mo Junyang’s serious face, Shi Qingxue had to unwillingly hold back her words, “But I am merely his concubine.”

She smiled flatteringly and followed Mo Junyang into the crowd.

She obediently walked in the streams of people busily coming and going, as her hand was held by Mo Junyang.

In the beginning, they just wandered and looked around, but while walking, the two suddenly sped up and flashed when a sedan chair crossed the street. Then they disappeared.

After a while, two middle-aged men dressed in clothes made of coarse linen stood in front of the stall where the couple had been.

They stood on tip-toed and looked around, trying to find the familiar figures, but there were people everywhere around, and their sight was blocked, so they couldn’t find anything.

One of the men had a horizontal scar on his face from his right brows to his chin. When he was expressionless, he looked horrible. With a frown, his face was ferocious.

He asked the vendor evilly, “Where are they?”

The vendor was more confused than him. “Who?”

“Don’t play dumb. Tell me!” The scar-faced man thought that the vendor didn’t tell the truth, so he grabbed the vendor’s clothes and lifted him.

The vendor was scared by his ferocious look, and his neck shrank. He begged for mercy while trembling. “Sir, I am just in business on a small scale, and the goods on the stall are not valuable. If you like something, just take it away. Please spare my life.”

The scar-faced man frowned more deeply and raised his voice. “Who wants your rubbish? Tell me the truth.”

However, the vendor was so scared out of wits by the malicious-looking man that he didn’t listen or think.

He just begged for mercy. “Sir, I really don’t have money. If you don’t believe me, you can search my pockets.”

“I have said that I don’t want your rubbish. You…”

The scar-faced man raised his fists impatiently and wanted to beat him.

The man next to him saw that some people around were gesticulating, so he hurriedly grabbed the scar-faced man’s wrist, gesturing for him not to be impulsive.

Then he talked to the vendor gently. “Don’t be frightened. We won’t hurt you. We just want to ask you where the man and woman standing in front of your stall have gone.”

“Ah?” The vendor was put down, and he hurriedly shrank back. Seeing that the man didn’t plan to beat him, he was relieved.

He thought that it was better to save trouble, so he answered frankly, “The couple just looked at the stuff on my stall, and they didn’t say that they would buy it. Then they left.”

“Where did they go?” the scar-faced man asked in a hurry.

The vendor shrank again and didn’t say anything.

The other man had to push the scar-faced man aside again and ask patiently, “Where did they go? Please tell us.”

However, the vendor looked more hesitant. He cautiously looked at the two men several times and then replied in a low voice, “It’s not that I refuse to tell you, but there are so many people coming and going on the street. I just saw that they suddenly flashed into the crowd and then disappeared. You want me to tell you where they went, yet I really don’t know.”

“Trash!”

The scar-faced man cursed loudly in a hoarse voice and then looked at the man next to him, asking, “We have missed the target. What should we do now?”

The man frowned and searched the crowd with his eyes for a long time. At last, he had to give up.

He sighed in a low voice helplessly. “Forget it. Go back first and report it to the boss before we make a plan.”

Hearing the word “boss”, the scar-faced man became cowardly and hurriedly waved his hand. “If we can’t find his residence but return without accomplishing anything, the boss won’t spare us. If you want to go back, you can go. Anyway, I won’t go back.”

The man also looked impatient. “What do you think we should do?”
