Chapter 74 Common Ground

The Situ family is indeed a big family.

The Situ family, located in a luxurious building complex, is home to nearly a thousand people. Xia Shu felt the hospitality of the Situ family as soon as he got off the car.

"welcome!"

"Welcome adults!"

Several girls in cool clothes came forward with small gifts and flowers, smiling and with great figures.

The Situ family is very powerful and they have already heard that there are several beautiful girls around this son of destiny who have been pestering him. Naturally, they try to please him and spend a lot of effort to find these girls.

But what they didn't expect was that Xia Shu didn't have any lustful look at all. He just smiled politely and took the gifts from their hands.

Not to mention Shan Xin and Jiang Yushu.

Each one is more mysterious than the other and they have no weaknesses at all.

It is true that Xia Shu is lustful, but he knows how to distinguish between occasions and knows when to be lustful and when not to be lustful.

Having said that, let’s get back to the point.

These girls are not good-looking.

What kind of people are around you?

Bai Jing, Liu Yueyao, Jiang Yushu and the others are all top beauties. He remained calm even when Bai Jing threw herself into his arms, let alone these girls.

In addition to these girls, there was also an old man of a different build who came up to the three and bowed.

This is a senior member of the Situ family. He has a very high status and has made great contributions before. He came out in person to greet us, which can be said to be a great honor.

"Meet the three adults."

They did not know about the existence of the Mandate of Heaven. They only knew that this was an imperial envoy sent by the government. No matter what his status or realm was, as long as he had an official title, he was an important person.

What's more, his fate is now in their hands, and being disrespectful could cost him his life.

"Everyone, no more words."

"I think everyone knows what we are here for, so there is no need to waste time. Let's get started and finish early so as not to waste each other's time."

Xia Shu was the youngest of the three, so he took the initiative to stand up and explain the matter clearly, so that these guys would not cause any more trouble.
"Brother is such a happy man, please!"

"Those people are already waiting for you."

The old men said this when they heard this.

They welcomed the three people of Tianming into a palace-like lobby, where a huge table was placed abruptly, with dozens of documents piled on it. Four men in long robes were examining the documents in front of them and dividing them into two parts.

Situ An looked at the information around them, his expression somewhat strange.

The investigation team came not only to investigate Situ He's affairs, but also to check their family accounts in detail.

Even if they could fool Situ He about the matter, these account books that had no time to forge would be enough to cause serious damage to the Situ family.

"My Lords, Principal Shan is here."

Situ An said this loudly, then left the palace with a smile on his face and the people behind him, leaving only these few people.

The middle-aged man in the lead raised his head from the mountain of documents in front of him, and after seeing the three people, he showed a very stiff smile, which looked forced and a bit scary.

"Liu Song, I'm honored to meet you, sir."

The realm of Liu Song in front of him was not high, probably around level 50.

But his status is even higher than some of the most powerful people.

"Long time no see, you seem to have aged a lot."

Shan Xin nodded slightly.

Liu Song was not a person who liked small talk. He glanced at Xia Shu and Jiang Yushu and nodded as a greeting.

"Except for the occupation of land, bullying men and women, and hundreds of serious crimes that are worthy of a prison sentence, the Situ family seems to have no problems."

? There are hundreds of them, what could be the problem?

Liu Song's unit deals with matters related to gods and Buddhas, and these matters are not his responsibility.

"They have hidden the evidence."

"It was definitely the work of the Divine Court. I have been investigating for three full days and have found nothing."

"You have a high level of cultivation, see if you can see anything."

Shan Xin had no intention of talking nonsense and took them on a tour around Situ's house.

Apart from the smiles that can be seen everywhere, there seems to be nothing unusual.

This was Xia Shu's first mission and he was very enthusiastic, but still got nothing.

"Even you can't tell, it looks like they handled it very cleanly from beginning to end."

Liu Song showed no expression.

He went back to his workstation and started dealing with other things, trying to find clues from these things.

Xia Shu licked his lips and walked out of the palace.

Didn't come back until evening.

Met Yuan Qi and Luo Yan in a restaurant.

These two guys were like they were parting life and death during the day, but at night they hugged each other as if they hadn't been together for a long time.

"Don't be sentimental, just tell me the situation."

Jiang Yushu quickly interrupted the two people and spoke.

Luo Yan is still reliable.

"They handled it perfectly, without any loopholes."

Xia Shu looked a little excited and said, "It is said that when Situ He was eight years old, he showed extraordinary ability and was able to lift a tripod. He also began to roam the wilderness and fight monsters. In the following decades, he spent most of his time roaming the wilderness every year... Perhaps we can use this to investigate."

Luo Yan also nodded in agreement.

"Xiaoshu is right. When Wang Changming was young, he found the Buddha's head in the wilderness, which enlightened him and gave him the name of a child prodigy. After that, he traveled in the wilderness for many years, chanting sutras for the awakened people who died tragically in the wilderness, and his reputation spread."

Yuan Qi became serious for once.

"It seems that the key to the breakthrough should be in the wilderness."

"But in a place like the wilderness, where no one lives, there is nothing there. Even ghosts don't want to go there."

Shan Xin looked around and made a decision, saying, "In that case, let's go to the Supervisory Department tomorrow to search for their records of leaving the city in the past ten years to see if there are any overlaps, and then investigate further."

Xia Shu looked at Shan Xin suspiciously and asked, "Hey, Principal, you couldn't have figured out these things a long time ago, right?"

Looking at Shan Xin's expression, it seemed as if he was waiting for me to say it.

Jiang Yushu took over the conversation at this time.

"Master called you here this time because he wanted to train you."

"For a master of this level, there are not many things in the world that can be hidden from him, and the Situ family is obviously not one of them."

Natsuki rolled his eyes.

"Sister Yushu, I noticed that you have been sneaking around all day, but I didn't expect you to come out and speak at this time."

Jiang Yushu's slacking behavior was exposed in public, and he felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

"Sister is accumulating strength!"

Then came some incomprehensible words like "plan before you act" and "girly reserve", which made everyone laugh, and the room was immediately filled with a happy atmosphere.
