Jinzhou City, County Government Office.
Just before Liang Sheng acted cautiously, Xia Zhiqiu in the County Government Office received a secret letter that greatly changed his expression. He then hurriedly gathered everyone and headed straight out of the city.
Soon after, news of a noble coming to Jinzhou City spread, and the situation in the County Government Office was even more magical than the common people had imagined.
If Liang Ying were here, he would probably be in shock, as Xia Zhiqiu was kneeling on the ground, like a mere servant.
On the upper seat, the curtain had already been drawn, and the guards on both sides seemed to be hiding their breaths, like ferocious beasts waiting quietly for their prey.
Behind the curtain, one could only vaguely see the figure of a graceful woman lying leisurely on a couch with her maidservant gently fanning her.
Xia Zhiqiu knelt on the ground, not even daring to glance sideways. His whole being, even his breathing, seemed cautious.
Finally, a languid voice came from above, full of enchantment.
“Xia Zhiqiu, I remember you have been under the royal palace for fifty years, haven’t you?”
“The Princess is right; I didn’t expect you to remember such a trivial matter. Zhiqiu has been grateful for the palace’s grace for fifty years.”
“I knew of your talent, so I sent you to Jinzhou. It was actually my idea. His Lordship originally wanted to send you to the Imperial Counselor Platform. 1 wonder if you hold a grudge in your heart?”
“Zhiqiu has never had such thoughts. If not for his lordship, Zhiqiu would probably have become a pile of bones in the Sky Prison by now.
His Lordship has done a great favor to Zhiqiu, and Zhiqiu is unable to repay him, but can only serve him like a loyal dog.”
As he said this, Xia Zhiqiu’s voice seemed to choke, and the Princess behind the curtain appeared somewhat moved. After a while, she spoke again.
“You’ve suffered over the years, but now you’ve finally delivered what 1 entrusted to you. Only you could have found these clues.
However, why did you hide it from me? Had it not been for some loyal servants, I might not have known about your progress.”
At this point, the Princess’s voice was deep and soft. Hearing this, Xia Zhiqiu did not argue, only bowing his head. This made the Princess lose her interest in pursuing the matter further.
“Alright, I know you’ve been working hard, but as a mother, how could I sit in the royal palace waiting for news? free(w)ebnovel.com
1 promise that if this matter is resolved, I’ll make it up to you. You won’t have to endure on the Imperial Counselor Platform any longer. I’ll have his Lordship pull strings to get you directly into the Secretary Platform!
Xia Zhiqiu, now I can only rely on you. You won’t disappoint me, will you? 1 hope you can understand the concerns of a mother; otherwise, I wouldn’t have blocked your official career and let you wallow in Jinzhou City for decades.
I don’t know how my son is faring, whether he’s had to suffer hardships. I blame that damn bitch. Why was I blind back then?”
At the last sentence, the Princess suddenly gritted her teeth in rage. Xia Zhiqiu could only pretend not to hear. When the Princess’s breathing finally calmed down above, he began to report.
“Princess, rest assured, 1 have already found clues. I will deal with this matter slowly and meticulously, and 1 won’t disappoint you.”
At this time, the Princess suddenly interrupted him, “I am out of patience. It’s just a temple; can they still have objections if you find someone directly?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiqiu suddenly looked up, wanting to persuade her, but in the end, he bowed his head again, “1 will abide by the Princess’s command, and I will arrange it now.”
“Zhang Da, give the Dragon Suppression Guard command token to Xia Zhiqiu.”
At this moment, a solemn guard beside the curtain approached and handed the token to Xia Zhiqiu personally.
“Xia Zhiqiu, don’t disappoint me again. I’ve been waiting for this day for too long.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiqiu could only accept his orders. As he left the room and saw the evening glow in the sky, he then took on a resolute expression, stepping firmly out of the backyard.
“Summon everyone from the County Government Office, and be sure to invite Wu Xiancheng and Liang Dianshi as well.”
Jinshan Temple.
As soon as Master Hongzhi returned from Jinzhou City, he was immediately summoned by Xuan Ji. Hongzhi’s trip down the mountain today was arranged by him.
Xuan Ji glanced at Hongzhi, who directly shook his head, “The Liang Family has not made any moves, and the County Government Office can’t find any news.
I observed and tried to probe from Liang Sheng, but I did not obtain any clues.” Master, are we overthinking? After all, the Liang and Wu families haven’t been living comfortably these past few years. As the patriarch, it’s inevitable for him to be depressed. Are we making a mountain out of a molehill?”
However, Xuan Ji shook his head, “If it were only Liang Ying, it wouldn’t matter much. But that Zheng Jushi is a County Ya Catcher. The fact that he came up the mountain while concealing his identity is intriguing.
As for the methods used by the honorable County Lord, we have already experienced them. He is not ordinary and should not be underestimated.
Now is the most critical moment; we must be careful and not allow any accidents to happen.
Since you couldn’t find any information going down the mountain, you might as well try to get some news from Liang Ying by creating an opportunity.
I noticed that Liang Ying seems to care about you a lot today. After all, your cultivation level is indeed an unexpected surprise for the Liang Family’s current situation.”
Hongzhi couldn’t help but frown at these words. He truly had no good feelings about the Liang Family people.
However, for the sake of Jinshan Temple at this moment, he didn’t consider long before agreeing with a nod.
Just then, a flustered novice monk rushed in, “Chief, something terrible has happened.”
By now, Jinshan Temple was already surrounded by the county constables, and the disciples of the Liang and Wu families could be seen everywhere. The Dragon Suppression Guard was also lurking in the outer perimeter.
Xia Zhiqiu stood outside Jinshan Temple, with Zheng Wanchun beside him. As he came down the mountain, he happened to encounter Xia Zhiqiu.
“Sir, the situation is not clear yet. Are we being too hasty?”
Xia Zhiqiu did not explain, “Wanchun, have someone relay the message. Today, not even a fly can leave Jinshan Temple.”
Zheng Wanchun immediately straightened up, “Yes!”
Inside Jinshan Temple, there was already chaos. The several chiefs who witnessed this were caught off guard. How could it have come to this?
Jinzhou City.
Liang Sheng’s Mansion.
With the sudden turn of events in Jinshan Temple and the wide-spread disturbances, Liang Sheng naturally learned about the situation through Shengde Building, which was known for its well-informed news.
Moreover, this time, the Dragon Suppression Guard from the Mansion showed up in Jinzhou City again after eight years, brazenly surrounding Jinshan Temple. How could this news possibly be kept hidden?
Liang Sheng never expected such a situation to happen. Even though he had anticipated something big was about to happen, he didn’t think the situation would take such a drastic turn so quickly.
Without a doubt, it must be related to the distinguished person Xia Zhiqiu welcomed today. However, Liang Sheng didn’t have much curiosity at this time.
The Dragon Suppression Guard from the Mansion is an elite force that can suppress high-level martial artists with just fifty members. In the past, the No-Life Evil Cult had suffered a significant loss at their hands.
Without any hesitation, Liang Sheng immediately returned to his own mansion and had Ma Xiaoliu close the door and refuse guests.
He decided not to go out again until the situation settled, and there must be something wrong with Jinzhou City’s feng shui. How could there be so many frequent incidents in one place?
He wasn’t that unlucky student from his previous life, possessed by a calamity. So he couldn’t hesitate any longer.
He had to find an appropriate time to “die a natural death..” Otherwise, when would this kind of life come to an end?
