"Forehead"

Qin Huaiyu was stunned. The village had vanished without a trace. Was this some kind of ghost?

How long ago did this happen?

"About six months."

"Six months? How could it take so long to report?"

Chu Langtian became somewhat angry when these things were mentioned:

"The town government of Tianyuan Town was afraid of taking responsibility, so it kept sending people to search for the money in private. It was only when the tax day was approaching and the money deficit could not be covered that they had no choice but to report it."

...How foolish! How dare you not report such a big thing? That's just courting death!

When it comes to officials, their IQ drops to 250 the moment they touch the power.

Qin Huaiyu was speechless and asked:

"So you sent people to search, but found nothing?"

Chu Langtian shook his head and said:

"No, he sent out four groups of people to conduct a near-complete search, but they didn't find a single person, let alone a village."

Disappeared so cleanly?

Qin Huaiyu frowned slightly and said:

"What's the name of that village? And what's the terrain like?"

"Shiming Village is located in a rather remote area, in the Mangdang Mountains. You'll have to confirm its exact location yourself," Chu Langtian replied.

Qin Huaiyu wrote down the name and asked:

"When do we depart?"

"Tomorrow, Yanxi will also go with you."

"Princess?"

Qin Huaiyu rejected the idea without even thinking.

"No, sir, this trip is too dangerous. Putting aside the case, the plan itself is highly uncertain."

If I can't manage, I can run away, but what about her? If something happens to her, all my efforts will be in vain.

"Don't worry, I'm capable of protecting myself. Of course, if you don't want to, I can go there myself." Chu Yanxi had made up her mind and didn't leave any room for refusal.

Woman, you're putting me in a difficult position. How can I, a dignified man, be manipulated by you?

Qin Huaiyu's expression was firm, and his tone was stern as he said:

"No, let's go together!"

A real man can bend and stretch; how can he argue with a woman over trivial matters?

Seeing this, Yun Suyan, not to be outdone, retorted:

"My lord, I am also aware of this case, and I hope you will allow me to participate as well."

"..." Qin Huaiyu, what's going on? This is an investigation, not a group tour.

"..." Chu Yanxi smiled. Why should women make things difficult for each other?

Chu Langtian gave Yun Suyan a meaningful look.

"Since the young lady is willing, then so be it. More people mean more strength."

"no……"

Qin Huaiyu was about to refuse, but before he could utter two words, the three of them spoke in unison, as if they had planned it beforehand:

"Shut up!"

"..." Qin Huaiyu.

"Alright, everyone go and get ready."

Chu Langtian didn't even give him a chance; he got up and left after finishing his sentence.

"grown ups………"

Qin Huaiyu hurriedly called out.

But the person in front was even more heartless, leaving without looking back.

"Sister Yun, how about we discuss this again?"

Yun Suyan ignored him completely.

"Let's go home!"

As she spoke, she pulled the person along and walked outside.

Seeing this, Chu Yanxi's eyes darted around.

"Wait for me."

.........

Into the night

Tianqingyuan

"Young Master, you're back!"

The servants bowed respectfully with smiles on their faces.

"What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me too?"

Gongsun Shu's usually gentle and refined face now appeared ferocious.

"Why? He's only been in Jian'an for a few days. Why are all those people on his side? They even stormed the Commandant's mansion for his sake and distanced themselves from me."

Even his arch-rival Zheng Chun idolizes him. What makes this kid of unknown origin so special? What do I lack compared to him?

The two gatekeepers were completely bewildered, but also genuinely startled, and quickly knelt down, saying:

"Young master, please calm down. It was my fault."

Gongsun Shu glared at the two men, his heart surging with rage. He felt an urge to kill them just thinking about what had happened today.

Having stayed at home for a few days, my mood had improved, so this afternoon I went to a restaurant to browse around.

Who would have thought he would run into a group of students? He inquired and found out that these people who used to fawn over him had stormed the Commandant's mansion for Xiong Ba, and that his rival Zheng Chun was leading the charge.

He was unwilling to accept this, so he said a few words, but then he lost control and the crowd mocked and ridiculed him.

Some say he's stingy and lacks the magnanimity of a saint.

Some say that jealousy is a sign of a lack of saintly virtue.

Some even said that a tyrant cannot be compared to a dog.

The voice was mixed in with the crowd, and it was unclear who it belonged to.

Otherwise, how could he have let it go?

"Damn it, you all deserve to die!"

Gongsun Shu went berserk and kicked each of the two men.

The two servants immediately fell to the ground, then quickly scrambled to their feet, saying in alarm:

"Young master, spare me! I know I was wrong!"

After hearing this, Gongsun Shu's anger subsided somewhat, and he said coldly:

"Has Uncle Huai come back yet?"

The servant hurriedly said:

"You're back. I'm waiting for you in the hall."

"snort"

Gongsun Shu snorted coldly and turned to walk inside.

Watching the departing figure, the two female servants finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing their chests as they got up.

"Damn, here we go again. What else can he do besides bullying the weak and fearing the strong? If he's so capable, he should go outside and cause trouble. What kind of skill is it to hit us?"

"He was born but no one raised him; who else can compare to him?"

The two helped each other to their feet.

Inside the hall

As soon as Gongsun Shu entered, he saw Huaiyin Jiu drinking tea.

He immediately stepped forward and said:

"Uncle Huai, how's it going? Have you found anything?"

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

Huaiyin Jiu put down his teacup and continued:

"That kid used an alias. His real name is Qin Huaiyu. He is the son of a merchant in Pingxing Town. His family has no power or influence."

Gongsun Shu was taken aback for a moment, but only for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"That guy really wasn't lying, he really is a country bumpkin, that's great, now we don't have to worry about anything."
