Chapter 555: Climbing Over the Wall

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Someone had killed the only witness in the prison. This meant two things. Firstly, the government office was not safe, and there was a spy inside. Secondly, this matter was not as simple as they thought. Since the other party was afraid of leaving someone alive and even wanted to kill his own people, it meant that that person might be holding some fatal news.

“That criminal was captured a month ago. At that time, we didn’t manage to get much out of him. He was just an ordinary robber, not a leader. At most, he would be locked up for three to five years before coming out,” w.a.n.g Qilang said. “I specially asked around. He seems to be a local of Linkong City. Because he didn’t behave well, he was chased away by his family when he was young.” Little All Yu caught the main point. “This is the flaw!”

“What do you mean?” w.a.n.g Wulang asked.

“Think about it, didn’t Grandma also say that she wanted to chase you out in the past? But when did she really do that?” Ah Yu knew a lot about this. “Moreover, it was when he was young. If his mother chased him, a little child, out, wouldn’t he be eaten by wild beasts or kidnapped by human traffickers? How could he grow up?”

She said it very naturally and reasonably, not realizing that the expressions of the people present were a little subtle.

Although they were young, they already knew many things. Of course, they knew how their sister came to their house.

Wasn’t she the one who got chased her out when she was young and was picked up by their family?

“Ahem—it’s not like the possibility doesn’t exist.” w.a.n.g Wulang had just said this when he was glared at by w.a.n.g Sanlang and changed his words. “Alright, this is indeed a flaw. Therefore, that person should have borrowed his ident.i.ty. It’s very likely that he replaced the person who was chased out and sneaked into Linkong City to become a spy.”

Ah Yu felt that things were not so simple, but she did not remember having provoked so much trouble. The cases she had encountered in the past few years were also very simple. There was basically no need for them to use their brains.

But this matter was different. It already involved their safety.

“Big Brother All You, 1 just have a feeling that this matter should be very troublesome. Let’s not stay in the government office for now.” All Yu thought of the young lady who had fallen into the water just now and felt uncomfortable.

She did not like this kind of place where there was mutual deception.

“You’re right. I’ll go out and find an inn. When I entered the city, 1 saw that there were a few inns that were not bad.” w.a.n.g Wulang patted his belt. “There’s still some money from Grandma. It’s enough for each of us to get a room and live comfortably.”

The few of them were not sloppy people. If they wanted to leave, they would immediately pack their things. As the eldest brother here, w.a.n.g Sanlang went to look for Magistrate Liu to bid farewell.

Magistrate Liu was overwrought and did not have the time to greet them. The person who received him was a governor. In the past, he did not know about this group of people and just allowed them to leave on the spot.

At night, the prefectural magistrate’s wife vaguely told the prefectural magistrate what had happened during the day and said, “My niece, Yuan Yuan, is like this. My heart aches for Qiao’er too, but you’re currently undergoing performance evaluation, so we can’t be careless. Fortunately, the guests you invited home helped. Otherwise, who knows how much trouble we would have encountered. Fortunately, Yuan Yuan also knows that she has caused too much trouble and has already returned today. Husband, I want to hold a banquet tomorrow to thank them properly. What do you think?”

Magistrate Liu was about to agree when the butler came to the door and said, “Sir, before the guests left, they left something here. Should we send it over to them?”

“What guests?” Magistrate Liu did not react for a moment.

“The guests you invited home have already left the residence today. They said that you’ve already agreed —don’t you know?”

Magistrate Liu slapped his forehead. “This is bad!”

The magistrate’s wife hurriedly asked, “Husband, what’s wrong? Also, why are the guests leaving for no reason? 1 didn’t hear anything about it.”

They called the people over to ask and found out that they were released by the governor. The governor did not know the ident.i.ties of these people, and even Magistrate Liu was not very sure.

He only knew that these people had come because their prospective in-law, County Governor Wei, had informed him to treat them well.

Now, he was busy investigating the case and wanted to subdue those evil people. Later on, someone was negligent and sent the important guests away. What was going on!

If it affected his performance… He was already lower ranked than his in-laws. If he messed up this matter, he did not know how to clean up the mess.

Magistrate Liu hurriedly left and arranged for a few capable subordinates to disguise themselves as ordinary people to investigate the inn where All Yu and the others were staying.

Considering that these people were unwilling to live in the government office, he sent someone to secretly protect them to prevent the a.s.sa.s.sins from coming again.

Unexpectedly, the group of constables searched for a long time but could not find them.

They had searched all the nearby restaurants, inns, courier stations, and huts, but there was no news of them checking in.

“Could they have returned to the prefecture capital?” Magistrate Liu was terrified. If the carriage moved slowly from Linkong City to the prefecture capital, there were still two days to go. If there was no escort on the way, would they encounter another a.s.sa.s.sination?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He simply sent someone to run all the way to the prefecture capital. No matter what, he had to escort these people safely.

If something happened to them, he would be in big trouble!

However, what he did not know was that beside an inconspicuous street in Linkong City, there was a courtyard house that was locked as usual.

When the neighbor opposite saw the new lock on the door, he even muttered when he returned home, “The family opposite us seems to have returned to live. In the past, I only heard that the house was sold. I haven’t seen the owner come to live for a few years. I thought no one wanted it anymore.”

“It’s probably a rich family. They bought the house just in case they needed it. If they’re pa.s.sing by the city, they can move in anytime and spend the night. Or perhaps they want to just stay there for a few days,” that person’s wife replied casually.

At this moment, the group of people they were discussing was naturally All Yu and the others.

They originally planned to stay at the inn, but Qin Huai said, “Let’s go to my house.”

Only then did they know that Qin Huai also had a house in Linkong City.

Why was it “also”? This was because they had pa.s.sed through dozens of cities of various sizes along the way. Qin Huai had bought houses in more than half of the cities, but some were big and some were small. They were not very standardized.

The only similarity was that every house had a small pool to raise fish. There were also swings erected on the gra.s.s beside them.

It was very similar to the w.a.n.g Family’s house in Nanhe Town.

The money Qin Huai had extorted from Empress Qin was basically used to buy these houses.

“Big Brother All You, this house is good. Look, there are also grape vines over there. It’s very similar to our family’s courtyard in the prefectural city.” All Yu was not very picky about the environment. When she saw the green grape trellis, she was already happy.

She liked to eat grapes very much. In the courtyard of Nanhe Town and the current Hu Family Village, there were grapes planted everywhere. They tasted very sweet.

As soon as she saw the grapes, her mood improved.

When she sat on the swing, Qin Huai automatically came behind her and helped her push it.

Ah Yu giggled happily.

When w.a.n.g Sanlang, who was in the distance, saw this scene, he couldn’t help but laugh. Ah Yu’s laughter was too infectious.

However, not long after, a person suddenly appeared on the wall. He skillfully jumped down and sat cross-legged in front of a tree.

Suddenly, this person felt that something was wrong. He opened his eyes and met the gazes of Ah Yu and the others.

His eyes widened in surprise. His internal force, which was originally regulating his breathing, spun in chaos, and the True Qi that he could not suppress ran rampant in his body. He spat out blood and fell to the ground.

w.a.n.g Wulang exclaimed, “No way.. We’ve just moved in and it’s already turning into a haunted house?! Qin Huai, what kind of luck is this? It’s too unlucky!”
