“That fool doesn't like my brother-in-law, so he asked me to help kidnap my sister. But he didn't expect that we need a bride, and a bride who comes knocking on our door, we can't just let her go!” Yin Shi Lang chuckled, this was a pretty good deal.
Yuan Lai nodded:
“Choosing a bride, the old way is still the safest.”
“Yes.”
Zheng Qing walked into the secret chamber, and Yin Shi Lang and Yuan Lai, seeing him arrive, respectfully said:
“Greetings, Holy Messenger.”
Zheng Qing waved his hand, looking at Yin Shi Lang:
“You’re in trouble. Now that Lu Ling Feng and Su Wu Ming have learned your name from the people below, they’ll be here in a few days.”
Yuan Lai said in a deep voice:
“This Lu Ling Feng is the Crown Prince’s confidant, and he's been eyeing the Chang’an red tea lately. You need to be careful.”
“What kind of nobody is he? Holy Messenger, Immortal, you are truly overestimating him!” Yin Shi Lang said coldly.
Zheng Qing said:
“That Lu Ling Feng is not really worth fearing, but the key is Su Wu Ming. He is a disciple of Di Gong, you need to be careful.”
Yin Shi Lang was still in awe of Zheng Qing's ability, especially after that punch that nearly sent him to the afterlife. He knew this man was not someone to provoke, so he sincerely said:
“Please enlighten me, Holy Messenger.”
“Everyone in the Ghost Market says you can do anything. When they come, you can stage a performance of ascending on the spot. Also, Su Wu Ming has an old servant, named Su Qian. If he doesn't know what's good for him, you can give him a little lesson.”
Zheng Qing shared his analysis.
“I will follow the Holy Messenger's instructions.”
Leaving the Ghost Market, Zheng Qing opened his system panel and exchanged his Fame Points!
【Special Skills:
Mimicry: 500 Fame Points
After exchange, you can mimic any sound in the world, lifelike and undetectable.
Autopsy: 1000 Fame Points.
After exchange, you can master the art of autopsy, and can determine the cause of death and time of death of a corpse.

After exchange, you can cast illusions, making people immersed in them, and those affected by illusions will be obedient to you.
Trace Back: 1000 Fame Points.
After exchange, you can use clues to speculate and restore the truth of things!】
Zheng Qing exchanged them all, and as for the remaining Fame Points, he exchanged them all for Chang'an red tea.
After all, you need money when you're out and about. But he didn't rush to sell it.
After all, Yuan Lai and the others were about to put their plan into action, and the price of Chang'an red tea would skyrocket.
Money is no object!
Right now, Zheng Qing, besides the official salary, was practically penniless!
……
Chang’an County Office——
Zheng Qing gathered everyone in the County Office.
These people, when facing Zheng Qing, all felt a natural fear.
And when they heard Zheng Qing’s intention to have them go to the Ghost Market, they all lowered their heads.
Walking to the front, the old catcher Jia quickly said:
“Reporting to the Imperial Censor, my wife is about to give birth, she had a difficult birth last time, almost lost her life. This time, I’ve hired the best midwife, I... I have to be at home!”
Zheng Qing nodded.
“Good, as a man, it’s only natural to love your wife!”
Zheng Qing took a few more steps, walking to the old catcher Luo.
The few catchers who had passed by were relieved.
Luo immediately trembled, and quickly said:
“Imperial Censor, I can't see well. When it gets dark, I can’t see anything!”
Zheng Qing nodded:
“If that's the case, you need to take good care of your body and prevent the condition from worsening!”
“Imperial Censor...”
Zheng Qing looked curiously at the person who spoke up.
The old catcher Liu said tremblingly:
“Actually… I, I’m a little scared…”
Zheng Qing was puzzled, for a moment, he even forgot what to say.
“Scared?!
You sure… you're not even making up an excuse?”
Liu thought for a moment, then said:
“To be honest, the former Wu County Lieutenant often took us to the Ghost Market to track down fugitives! We even killed a few desperate men there!
But shortly after returning, Wu County Lieutenant became possessed, and finally… you know the rest.”
Zheng Qing was speechless.
“There are so many people in the County Office, so many talented and extraordinary individuals, yet no one is willing to accompany County Lieutenant Su to the Ghost Market?”
Many catchers shook their heads.
Zheng Qing sighed helplessly.
“What a pity, I actually went to see the princess these past two days. The princess is particularly interested in the red tea that’s been popping up in the Chang'an Ghost Market.
If we could find any clues there, there’s a big reward! It seems like I’ll have to give these rewards to the Golden Guard.”
As soon as these words were finished, the many catchers in the County Office looked at each other with wide eyes.
And Zheng Qing took out a string of copper coins.
Liu said:
“Imperial Censor, I’m willing to go!”
“Yes, as catchers of the Chang’an County Office, we must contribute to the safety of Chang’an! How can we let the Golden Guard steal the spotlight?”
“That’s right, just a measly Ghost Market, we will definitely level it to the ground!”
Zheng Qing looked at Old Jia:
“You don't have to stay with your wife for the delivery?”
Jia said righteously, “Of course I’ll stay with her, but with this money, we can find a better midwife?!”
Zheng Qing looked at Lao Luo, but before he could speak, Luo said:
“Imperial Censor, rest assured, the Ghost Market has lanterns, my problem of not being able to see can be overcome, can be overcome…”
Zheng Qing was relieved.
“If that's the case, then you can split this money, but remember, you must protect County Lieutenant Su’s safety.”
【You have gained 200 Fame Points from Catcher Jia’s liking.】
【You have gained 200 Fame Points from Catcher Luo’s liking.】
【You have gained 200 Fame Points from Catcher Liu’s liking.】
【You have gained 200 Fame Points from Catcher Chen’s liking.】
【…】
He easily gained two thousand Fame Points!
The many catchers, looking like they had been injected with a shot of adrenaline, shouted in unison:
“Yes!”
Having arranged everything, Zheng Qing left first.
When Su Wu Ming came looking for people, he found everyone around him looking energetic and vigorous, as if they had been pumped full of adrenaline!
Before Su Wu Ming could speak, Catcher Luo said:
“We are at your command, County Lieutenant, we will definitely be the first to charge into battle, helping you find the culprit!”
“This… how did you know I’m going to the Chang’an Ghost Market?” Su Wu Ming was a little confused.
Jia stepped forward and said:
“Imperial Censor Zheng just told us, and he also told us to protect your safety!”
Su Wu Ming’s eyes narrowed.
“So that’s how it is? In that case, I’m at your service.”
……
In the Ghost Market——
Lu Ling Feng and his group were visiting the Ghost Market at night, their faces covered.
Just as a man whispered in his ear:
“Chang’an red tea.”
Lu Ling Feng was startled, and took two steps forward, grabbing the man’s sleeve:
“Sir, are you selling Chang’an red tea?”
The man turned around and looked at Lu Ling Feng, puzzled:
“Selling? I’m here to buy Chang’an red tea!”
“Is it very hard to get?”
“Of course it is. I plan to buy red tea here, and if I can buy it, I can sell it in the East Market and make a good profit! If you don’t have it, then forget it.”
The man turned and walked away.
Lu Ling Feng said coldly, “Take him down!”
“Yes.”
After several people captured the man, under the pressure of their identities, the man revealed the location where he bought the red tea.
“Yin Shi Lang, who can do anything? Hmph, what a big mouth!”
Lu Ling Feng sneered, broke into the hall, but found nothing.
They set an ambush here, but unexpectedly caught Su Wu Ming and Old Jia, who had broken in.
