Chapter 442

In Feng Quji's eyes, strange light flickered.

He truly could not guess whether this Qi Huaizhi was alive or dead.

Feng Quji, who was somewhat uneasy, prepared to let a few subordinates go to Jiuzhou Commandery to investigate further.

Just at this moment, the butler appeared again.

"Master, recently there have been rumors in the city again."

The butler said.

"What matter?"

Feng Quji looked up.

Actually, sitting in his position, the butler in the mansion should be cautious in his words and deeds.

After all, in officialdom, the right or wrong of a single sentence could determine one's future fate.

Feng Quji had also thought so before.

But during the years he was excluded, he went to the teahouses in the city every day.

In the teahouses, he actually discovered that this was the place where news sources were the fastest.

In the entire Xianyang City, big and small news could not be hidden from here.

And some true or false news allowed him to judge the situation of the imperial court.

After this time, Feng Quji never dared to underestimate these rumors again.

The butler also understood because of these years that the Master liked to hear these rumors.

So when he learned that new news had arrived, he would report it to Feng Quji at the first opportunity.

So even if Feng Quji returned to his original position, he would still listen to these rumors.

"I heard those people say that the Ghost seems to have already found the next culprit."

"Moreover, the Ghost has already released words that three days later, he will come to take that culprit's life."

After the butler finished speaking, Feng Quji's face immediately changed.

"Did that news say who exactly the culprit is?"

Feng Quji asked in pursuit.

"It was not said."

The butler shook his head.

"No one knows who the culprit is, and everyone is guessing who this culprit is."

Regarding the Ghost's dynamics, the common people of Xianyang City were the most concerned.

After all, the Ghost released words that those killed were all culprits who participated in the events of five years ago.

These common people also loved Prince Mo very much.

So upon learning that the Ghost was avenging Prince Mo, they not only were not afraid of the Ghost,

some even wanted to find the Ghost and personally participate in avenging Prince Mo.

The hand Feng Quji used to hold the teacup began to tremble involuntarily.

He also did not know whether the culprit the Ghost was searching for was himself.

He tried to calm the fear in his heart.

He took a sip of the tea that had long since turned cold in the cup.

But he discovered that the fear in his heart was like this cold water.

From head to toe, it was cold.

He could not just sit and wait for death like this.

If he truly waited, he would likely be unable to escape death.

After all, he was also a person who had participated in the events of five years ago.

He had finally restored his current power and status.

He absolutely could not lose them again.

In Feng Quji's eyes, a faint light flashed.

He had to take the initiative.

In the courtyard,

Donghuang Taiyi looked coldly at Feng Quji who appeared in his courtyard.

"Why have you appeared here?"

Donghuang Taiyi's voice was cold.

He should have already told Feng Quji before not to appear here without major matters.

Feng Quji took off his hat.

His face was equally cold.

"Do you think that at a time like this, I can still sit still?"

His words made Donghuang Taiyi's brows furrow.

"What happened?"

Donghuang Taiyi asked.

Feng Quji did not expect that Donghuang Taiyi had not yet received the news.

He looked at Donghuang Taiyi with suspicion.

But Donghuang Taiyi's face was completely covered by the mask.

He could not penetrate the mask to investigate Donghuang Taiyi's expression.
