Chapter 98 Things are getting more complicated

After the banquet, the young master asked the county magistrate to take him to the study.

The moment he closed the study door, the young master's face instantly turned gloomy.

He looked around, his eyes revealing a barely perceptible sharpness.

"Mr. County Magistrate, I heard that something went wrong in Qingxi Village?" The young master said in a deep voice, with unquestionable authority in his voice.

"That..." Upon hearing this, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on the county magistrate's forehead.

He wiped the sweat off his face and said carefully, "Yes, sir. There is indeed something wrong in Qingxi Village."

The young master frowned, walked to the desk and tapped the table lightly.

The atmosphere in the study became increasingly depressing. The young master's deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. He tilted his head slightly and fixed his gaze on the county magistrate.

"Tell me in detail, what happened in Qingxi Village?" The young master's voice was low, but it hit the county magistrate's heart like a heavy hammer.

The county magistrate swallowed his saliva, knowing that he could not conceal this matter, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Sir, the things hidden in Qingxi Village... are gone..."

"All gone?" Upon hearing this, the young master's pupils shrank slightly and the gloomier look on his face became even more intense.

"Yes, sir." The county magistrate lowered his head, his voice trembling, "Originally, the things hidden in Qingxi Village were absolutely safe. But for some reason, everything disappeared without a trace overnight."

"Lord Zhong, do you feel that your position as county magistrate is too secure?" The young master's words were cold and sharp, like a chilly winter wind, piercing the heart of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate suddenly raised his head, his face turned pale, his knees softened, and he actually knelt on the ground.

"My lord, I am wise. I, Zhong, have always been loyal to you and would never dare to slack off. I really don't know what happened in Qingxi Village this time..." The county magistrate was in tears, looking terrified.

The young master looked at him coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He naturally knew what the county magistrate was thinking, but at the moment he was more concerned about the missing things in Qingxi Village.

"How could things in Qingxi Village disappear overnight? Who on earth has such great ability to take away all the things without alerting anyone?" The young man frowned, his heart full of doubts.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside, pondered for a moment, then turned to the county governor and said, "Master Zhong, you should immediately send someone to Qingxi Village to investigate this matter and make sure to find the whereabouts of the missing items."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhong nodded quickly, but he was in a panic.

He had started investigating a long time ago, but there was no clue at all. He also knew that this matter was of great importance. If he could not find out the cause, he might lose his position as county magistrate.

The young master added, "Also, I want to know if there has been any unusual activity in Qingxi Village recently, or if any strangers have come in or out. This matter is of great importance and we must not be careless at all."

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "After clearing out all the people in Qingxi Village, it seems that only the team that was exiled together stayed in Qingxi Village for one night because of the heavy snow and delayed their journey."

County Magistrate Lord Zhong had heard reports from his subordinates about this matter a long time ago, and he had kept Lin Congyun and others at the post station for so many days in order to investigate the matter.

But in the end, no abnormalities were found.

"The exiled team?" The young master frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, sir. It's Fang Dazhong and his family. Their journey was delayed by heavy snow, so they stayed in Qingxi Village for one night." The county magistrate answered cautiously.

Upon hearing this, the young master was silent for a moment, as if thinking about the possibility of this matter.

Although the General's Mansion was exiled, it was once the General's Mansion after all. If someone secretly helped, it might be possible to take the things from Qingxi Village away.

However, this is just a guess and further investigation is needed to confirm it.

"Lord Zhong, please send someone to check on this exiled team to see if there is anything unusual about them." said the young master.

The county magistrate nodded quickly, "We have checked it and found nothing unusual."

"Is there really nothing unusual?" The young master frowned slightly, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notes, "A team of exiles appeared in Qingxi Village, and you actually call it nothing unusual? You..."

"Sir, calm down." County Magistrate Zhong was sweating again, "The appearance of the exile team may be just a coincidence, or maybe..."

The young master waved his hand and interrupted him, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences in this world?"

Mr. Zhong was speechless for a moment and could only lower his head in silence.

The young master took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself down. "There must be something fishy going on here. Send someone to investigate secretly and make sure you find out the truth."

"Yes, sir." Lord Zhong nodded repeatedly in response.

"Also, go check with the villagers near Qingxi Village to see if they know anything." The young master added.

The county magistrate responded again, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.

I have already checked with the nearby villagers, but those villagers are just ordinary people, so how would they know anything?

However, since the young master had given the order, he dared not disobey and could only send people to investigate again.

The young master looked at the county magistrate's departing back, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

This matter is becoming more and more complicated, and he must be careful.

The things hidden in Qingxi Village are of great importance and absolutely no mistakes can be made.

-------------------------------------

In the carriage of the exile team, Lin Congyun asked Nanny Bai to check and found that nothing was missing in the carriage. It seemed that the white tiger appeared too quickly and the group of people did not have time to take anything away.

While taking a break, Lin Congyun brought the white tiger following behind him into the space.

As soon as I entered the space, I saw several bandit leaders who had been locked up in the rockery a few days ago. They were working hard. It must have been difficult for them to be locked up there.

However, now is not the time to sympathize with them.

Lin Congyun walked up to them, glanced at them coldly, and then said: "Since you are now on my territory, you must abide by my rules. Work hard and don't play tricks, otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death."

The bandit leader raised his head, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but more of it was helplessness and submission.

He gritted his teeth and whispered, "We understand. Don't worry, we will do our job well."

Lin Congyun nodded with satisfaction, turned around and went back into the thatched hut, then flashed out of the space.
