The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Jiangnan

It has been nearly a month since the two of them came here. During this time, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci went to Yangzhou, but surprisingly, everything went very smoothly. The evidence that was originally hidden very deeply fell into their hands easily as if it was delivered to their door.

As time goes by, two county magistrates in several counties under Yangzhou are exposed for embezzling disaster relief funds. However, just when the evidence is conclusive, the two county magistrates choose to commit suicide a quarter of an hour ago. This series of events makes Jiang Xing and Xie Ci wonder: Is all this just a coincidence? Or is there an invisible hand behind the scenes?

"Cousin, don't you think that things are going too smoothly?" Xie Ci said with a frown.

Since he came to the capital, everything seemed to be going smoothly. It actually involved the King of Qi, but all the evidence showed that there was no connection with the King of Qi. However, it was precisely because it was too smooth that Xie Ci felt a little uneasy. He always felt that there was some conspiracy or danger hidden behind it.

"That's true, but we can only take it one step at a time." Jiang Xing nodded, agreeing with Xie Ci's opinion. They can only wait for more clues and evidence to emerge before they can further understand the truth of the matter.

Moreover, Lord Xu suddenly became a different person. He had been reserved and cautious about them before, but now he took the initiative to reveal a lot of information. This made Xie Ci wonder if he had other purposes. Maybe he wanted to use them to achieve his own goals, or just wanted to divert attention.

"I wonder how Thirteen is doing with his investigation now?" Jiang Xing had sent Thirteen out for some time. Except for the first few days, he could still receive news from him. In the next half a month, he had no news at all. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, he still trusted Thirteen. If Thirteen ran into trouble, then their plan might be affected.

Jiang Xing sent Thirteen to investigate the King of Qi, and Chujiu was sent to Suzhou by him. He hoped that they could find useful clues as soon as possible to help them solve the mystery.

"Cousin, do you trust Thirteen so much?" Xie Ci asked.

"Thirteen can be trusted!" Jiang Xing said confidently.

"It seems we have to leave Yangzhou." Jiang Xing looked at the account book in front of him and frowned, his heart full of helplessness and anger. This account book found in the study of the two county magistrates densely recorded every payment for disaster relief. However, the money was missing. He really couldn't figure out where the money had gone.

"Leave? Leave just like that? What should I do next?" Xie Ci widened his eyes, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.

"Yes, let's leave. Tomorrow morning, we will say goodbye to Lord Xu and then set off for Suzhou." Jiang Xing replied in a firm tone.

"Suzhou? Why do we want to go to Suzhou?" Xie Ci became more and more confused.

"These are all Yangzhou can give us at the moment. We can only go to Suzhou to see if there are any new discoveries." Jiang Xing sighed softly, a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"Okay..." Xie Ci nodded in agreement. Although he still had many questions in his mind, he knew that this was not the time to argue, so he could only follow Jiang Xing's arrangements.

Jiang Xing silently put away the account book and stared into the distance. Xie Ci stood aside and looked at Jiang Xing quietly, praying silently in his heart that they could succeed.

The next morning, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci went out early to go to the Yangzhou government office to say goodbye to Xu Wen. They rode horses all the way from the inn to the gate of the Yangzhou government office. They walked very high-profile and many people saw them.

Xu Wen was handling official business when he heard a servant come to report that two young masters came to see him. He immediately put down his work and went out to meet them in person. When he saw Jiang Xing and Xie Ci, he smiled and said, "My two lords, how come you have time to come here today?"

Jiang Xing also bowed in return and said with a smile: "Sir, we two are here to say goodbye today."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wen hurriedly tried to persuade them to stay: "My two lords, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Have you found out everything? Are you ready to return to Beijing?"

Jiang Xing shook his head and explained, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. We have other things to do and cannot stay here for long. However, thank you for your hospitality these days."

After hearing this, Xu Wen said, "If that's the case, I won't force you to stay. I hope we can meet again in the future."

After saying that, he sent the two out the door, looked at their backs as they walked away, stroked his beard, and said to the master beside him with a smile: "I'm going to visit the prince, you stay here and watch."

The lawyer nodded to show that he understood.

Xu Wen turned around and walked into the government office, secretly sighing in his heart: "I am still young after all!"

Prince Qi's Mansion

"Your Highness, I recently got a can of good tea. I wonder if Your Highness would be interested in drinking tea together?" Xu Wen came in from outside holding a can of tea.

"Xu Wen, come quickly, it's been a long time since anyone has played chess with me." The King of Qi sat on the couch, playing chess with his chess pieces.

"Your Highness is so refined in his taste. I am not good at chess, so how dare I play against you?" Xu Wen said modestly, and sat down next to him.

"How is it going?" the King of Qi asked

"I've already returned home!" The two people asked and answered each other.

“Oh, they believed it?”

"So what if they don't believe it? They have to take what the prince wants to give them, right?" Xu Wen smiled, stroking his beard.

"Just keep an eye on it and don't let the little bird fly around." The King of Qi made another move, and saw that the black pieces had surrounded the white pieces, and the white pieces were like a trapped beast.
