"Get up. I will definitely investigate this matter strictly. Before that, please be patient and not act recklessly again, provoking those people from the magistrate court."

"Yes, Su Yao shall obey Your Excellency's orders."

"Alright, you should go rest first. I still have some important matters to attend to."

"Yes, Su Yao will take her leave."

After Yu Su Yao left, Wang Xuan Ling immediately stood up from his chair, and apologized to Yan Yuan: "Your Highness, please forgive me.

"It's fine."

Yan Yuan waved his hands lightly, and looked at the sky outside the window as if he was thinking about something.

"Yan Yuan, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing him not saying a word, Liu Ruo Qing felt a little uneasy and could not help but ask.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking whether I should get the relief food first or wait for that big tiger to come out."

Yan Yuan regained his senses, and patted Liu Ruo Qing's hands. After a while, he turned his head and said to Wang Xuan Ling: "Tell Fu Yu, that you need to check every grain depot in Guangshun Mansion."

Wang Xuan Ling was startled, "Your Highness, aren't we alerting the snake by hitting the grass?"

"No, it's just that we need to use more powerful medicine on the Tiger, so we don't have the time to wait for the big tiger to come out. We can afford to wait, but the citizens of Chengyang County can't."

"Yes, Xuan Ling understands. I'll have Fu Yu open the granary now."

"This King will go with you."

"I'll go too."

Liu Ruo Qing hurried to catch up with him. She subconsciously grabbed onto Yan Yuan's hand, not daring to let go of his hand.

Yan Yuan knew that she was worried, but he didn't object to her going. Moreover, with her current identity, he was still Wang Xuan Ling's guard.

"Alright. I told you to follow me. "

Yan Yuan lovingly pinched the tip of Liu Ruo Qing's nose. After that, the two of them, in their capacity as Wang Xuan Ling's personal bodyguards, went to the government office.

Sure enough, when Fu Yu heard that Wang Xuan Ling wanted to open all of the grain depots in Guangshun Mansion for inspection, he was so shocked that his face turned white.

"M …" Young master, other than the two grain depots in the magistrate court, the other two warehouses are private depots used by the gentry to store grain.

"I received a secret report this morning, saying that I found out that there were a lot of grains in one of Guangshun Mansion's granary. I was just about to go and see if the rumors were true."

Wang Xuan Ling's ice-cold gaze coldly swept over Fu Yu's pale face, scaring him to the point that he hurriedly wiped off his sweat with his sleeves.

"Milord, this … This is definitely a rumor, ah, this is impossible, the Guangshun Mansion was affected by the snowstorm and the harvest was very small. A while ago, the people were trying to avoid the snowstorm, they almost sold all of the rice shops' food, how could there be food left over. "

"Since this is a rumour, I shall personally break it. Let's see who dares to create such rumors in the future!"

Wang Xuan Ling said coldly. The sharp glint that shot out of his eyes made Fu Yu not dare to look directly at him.

Seeing how determined he was, Fu Yu cursed in his heart, "Not good!"

Once the food hidden in the Xiu Residence was found, how would he explain it?

This time, he was finally killed by the people above.

The more he thought about it, the weaker Fu Yu's legs became. His anxious manner of wiping off his sweat and hopping about was truly somewhat amusing.

"What's wrong, Lord Fu? Is there a problem?"

"This... No... "No problem."

How could Fu Yu say that there was a problem? If he dared to reject, wouldn't he be telling Wang Xuan Ling that he had a guilty conscience?

"Since there are no problems, please go ahead."

"Yes …" "Yes."

Fu Yu nodded his head. His gaze shifted to the Grand Master who was standing in the middle of the hall. The Grand Master seemed to understand what was going on and quickly left the mansion's backyard.

As soon as the back door opened, it was blocked by a figure that smelled like a woman.

His throat was instantly choked, and he was easily thrown against the wall by the girl, "Grand Master is in such a hurry, where are you going?"

This man was none other than Shen Qin.

After Yan Yuan followed Wang Xuan Ling to the magistrate court, he instructed Shen Qin to guard there. As expected, he saw the grandmaster sneaking out from the back door, and was in a hurry to report.

"You … Who are you? Where do you want me to go? "

"Don't tell me?"

The corner of Shen Qin's lips curled up, and a determined look appeared in her eyes without the slightest hesitation. Although she was a little nervous in front of Wang Xuan Ling, but in front of the people around her, she would not show any mercy.

She punched the Grand Master's abdomen. It wasn't a heavy punch, but it hit his vital parts through his abdomen. The pain made the Grand Master tremble in pain and a ferocious look appeared on his face.

"Speak!" Where to? If you don't say it, I will give you another fist! "

The Grand Master was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

He didn't expect that such a thin and weak girl would have such a heavy attack.

"I'll say, I'll say!"

After a long while, he recovered his strength and said, "Our lord wants me to find a cultivator and notify him that Sir Wang wants to open a granary."

Shen Qin looked at the Grand Master with her arms folded across her chest, then suddenly let out a sneer, "So it's because I wanted you to spread the news."

His Royal Highness was very accurate.

With that, she threw a pill into the Grand Master's mouth. By the time he could react, the pill was already in his mouth.

"You … What did you give me to eat? "

"What do you think?"

Her hand lightly pressed on Grand Master's shoulder, and her lips curled up into a smile. However, this Grand Master looked like a ghost from hell, terrifying and frightening.

"Do you feel pain and itchiness in your shoulders?"

Her casual question made the Grand Master turn pale with fright, "You …" You gave me poison? "

Shen Qin laughed and accepted it.

"Answer a few of my questions. If I'm satisfied, I will give you the antidote."

"Alright, alright. If Miss asks, I will answer truthfully."

"Where did your Grand Master go?"

Shen Qin's gaze stiffened, at first glance, it seemed to carry a little more killing intent.

This kind of killing intent, seemed to have been developed over a long period of time. If Liu Ruo Qing saw this, perhaps she would also be shocked by Shen Qin's gaze.

"So …" So the Grand Master … Missing... "He's gone missing."

His neck shrank, but when he saw the cold look that Shen Qin's narrowed eyes gave off, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

"Please spare my life, please spare my life. I really don't know where the Grand Master went. Lord Fu is also secretly searching for his whereabouts."

Shen Qin's eyes lit up slightly, "Explain the specifics."

His words concealed a trace of impatience.

"Yes, yes."

The Grand Master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "It seems that Grand Master Lu has a very important item in his possession. Lord Fu is very nervous and has sent many people to track him down, but they have not been able to find it."

Important things? Could it be an account book?

Shen Qin frowned, she did not say anything for a moment.

"Miss, everything this little one says is true, I will not dare to lie in the slightest, you must trust me."

Shen Qin's thoughts were pulled back to reality by the Master's wailing.
