Three days passed in a flash.

Bai Jingzhi and his men were about to turn from the mountain road to the official road.

"Sixth Grandpa, let's wait for a few days! We can leave after my father and the others catch up and reunite with us. What do you think?"

Bai Jingzhi has been messaging Bai Zhao these days, and they have already made some progress.

Wei Liu frowned, "Those people may not be willing to listen. I am not sure I can control them now."

The direction he was looking was towards Jiang Lan. Those people were surrounding Jiang Zhu and were talking about something. Everyone had a smile on their face.

"Don't worry, my mother still has some medicine from last time, which can always control them."

Bai Jingzhi also looked over, but did not take Jiang Lan seriously.

If the Prince of Yan was smart, he would not easily turn against his enemies before leaving Jucheng.

This kind of person is the best at judging the situation. When he is not absolutely sure, he will give in.

The reason he was happy now was just to leave Lianzhou and get out of Prince Li's sphere of influence.

This is the beginning.

She would not let him go easily unless the King of Yan offered a good price.

Wei Liu and the others mentioned it. Jiang Lan looked towards Bai Jingzhi with a face as dark as ink.

Bai Jingzhi smiled at him and went back into the carriage.

"Do you have any news from your father? Can they get here in three days?"

Wei Hongmian has been staying in the carriage reading these days. She tries not to go out if possible to avoid being nagged by Old Lady Bai.

Even Bai Meidong's health was recuperated in this carriage.

She hid in the carriage to treat Bai Meidong, and Old Lady Bai didn't want to chase after the mother and daughter and say anything.

Bai Zhao communicated directly with Bai Jingzhi and did not tell her the specific situation over there.

While Wei Liu was away, Wei Hongmian began to question Bai Jingzhi, "Jingzhi, tell me the truth, is your father in danger? Why has he been evasive these days when I asked him about the situation there?"

The couple have always been open about everything and rarely hide things from each other.

"It's all right now, don't worry! They will be able to come out of Liu County tonight, and you will have to cooperate with me then."

Bai Jingzhi quickly told her all his plans for the evening so that she wouldn't have to worry any more.

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you and no one will find out. It's just to make them sleep more soundly, it's a small matter."

Wei Hongmian readily agreed.

Old Lady Bai, Wei Duan and Wei Yao would rest in the carriage at night, and Wei Hongmian's main purpose was to prevent them from noticing that Bai Jingzhi was missing.

Bai Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, finally he managed to coax the person into submission.

Bai Zhao has been in contact with her about the situation over the past few days.

Bai Zhao hid in the study of the magistrate of Liu County and was almost discovered once.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and hid in the space in time.

After the danger was over, two more boxes were found in the secret room, filled with women's jewelry and some gold and silver.

Later he found out that the county magistrate had "plundered" the money from his concubine in the backyard, and because of this, there was widespread complaint from his concubines in the backyard.

Zhou Yue'e would come back for a while in the evening to report to him about the day's situation.

For three days, she tracked the county magistrate's wife, trying to find Hanazaburo's hiding place.

Unfortunately, Hua never left the house and stayed in the mansion.

There was no trace of Hanazaburo.

It was Bai Jingzhi who reminded them that the place where Hua often went might be where Hua Sanlang was hiding.

Zhou Yue'e changed her strategy and finally found the person.

However, they did not tell Bai Jingzhi the specific process, and she did not ask much. She just wanted to bring the person back.

"Jingzhi, something's going on here. Someone has come from Prince Li's side. The plan may be advanced. Contact me later!"

The sudden news from Bai Zhao made Bai Jingzhi feel nervous.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly not okay? Is there something wrong with your father?"

Wei Hongmian asked this question because he noticed her sudden change of expression.

"I may enter the space at any time, mother, you have to cover for me."

"Okay! I hope nothing happens to your father!"

Bai Zhao, whom they were worried about, was hiding in the secret room and eavesdropping.

After County Magistrate Wang Songtao put the two boxes in the secret room yesterday, he has not come down since.

No one knew what was going on in the study except the county magistrate and his wife.

He held his breath and listened to the conversation between the people above.

"Your humble servant greets Lord Qian!"

Bai Zhao couldn't see what was happening above, he could only hear the sounds.

The study room was full of people at this moment.

Qian Yuan sat in the seat of the former county magistrate Wang Songtao and looked up at the decoration of the study. "Lord Wang is frugal. The study is decorated so simply that he doesn't even want to buy a book!"

Except for Wang Songtao, everyone else in the study was from Prince Li's Mansion.

There were forty people who had followed Yue Wen and were assigned to Liu County by him, as well as the people brought by Qian Yuan.

Wang Songtao's study is quite large, and there is still plenty of space for all these people here.

"Sir Qian, it's not that I don't know anything about government affairs. It's just that a group of thieves broke into the mansion a few days ago and looted all the valuables in the mansion."

"The granary was also looted."

"We sent a large number of people to chase him, but unfortunately we didn't find him."

Wang Songtao's voice trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and finished what he said.

Everyone in the study was carrying weapons and looked murderous.

County Magistrate Wang Songtao's legs trembled as he assured again, "Sir, everything I said is true. You are a favorite of the prince, so please say a few good words for me."

Qian Yuan ignored him and waved to his men, "Drag them away. Take everyone in the mansion to the prison and interrogate them one by one."

"Qian Da——"

Wang Songtao knelt down and slid to hug Qian Yuan's thighs and cry, but someone covered his mouth and took him away.

"Look for any secret rooms in the study. Wang Songtao's study is so empty, so they must have been moved."

After Qian Yuan gave his instructions, he said to the scholar standing beside him, "Brother He, go to the county government office today to take over. You will be in charge of Liu County's affairs from now on."

The two men took a few guards away, and the rest were all handled by Prince Li's original personal guards.

Those people turned the study upside down but found nothing.

"No, go tell Mr. Qian that we have to take over the matter at the city gate and arrest the Wei family and the Prince of Yan. We can only spare ten people for him to deploy."

"Commander Yue, please hurry up and they should be close to Jucheng."

......

The people in the study were arranging the tasks for coming to Liu County, but they didn't know that Bai Zhao had heard it all.

After hearing this, Bai Zhao quietly retreated and began to send messages to his daughter.

"There's a group of people outside. They should be from Prince Li's Mansion. From what they said, they are here to hunt us down."

"Also, the leader of Prince Li's personal guard has arrived in Jucheng, just to capture us."

"We may have to move up our plans for the evening. I will go up after these people leave the study. If I hide in the space, Yue'e won't be able to find me."

Bai Jingzhi was stunned when he heard the news. The magistrate of Liu County was so stupid, but he was actually playing Infernal Affairs.
