The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

The puppet turmoil had just died down when Boss Wu, who had lost a huge amount of money, started making a big fuss in the military camp again.

"This is truly a double whammy. We still need to donate money for construction. Where will the money come from? The money I locked up at home and the money in the bank were all stolen. If you can find them all, I, Wu, would donate ten thousand taels of silver..."

Boss Wu sat on the wooden chair and filled it up instantly. His big belly had nowhere to go, so it had to stick out. He sighed from time to time while talking.

"General Mu, the guys working under Wu Ji haven't received their wages for over three months. If this continues, I, Wu, will just have to sell my house..."

This time she spoke with tears in her eyes and sobbed, which made everyone who heard it sad and sigh.

"Forget Wu Ji, General Mu. Qin's bank is in even worse shape. Merchants are unable to withdraw money with their banknotes. This bank was almost smashed. I don't know how much effort it took to persuade them to stop. Please make a decision for me. Qin can only take a small portion of the embezzlement..."

Shopkeeper Qin was speaking with tears in his eyes, and from time to time he rolled up his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"General Mu, I'm not forcing you, but we can't survive any longer. Our subordinates report back three times a day, and we need money to make ends meet..."

"Now, we don't even dare to leave the military camp..."

Everyone sighed and said different things...

"Stop! Those grown men are arguing non-stop. The robber or strange beast that stole the gold hasn't appeared in the city for a month or so. The city is in turmoil. The demon hunters from the Qingshan Sect have searched every corner of the city, and their soldiers have been searching for days, but there's no trace of the hidden gold..."

Mu Qi spoke in an angry tone, and the desire to kill them was in his throat, but he still had to explain patiently.

"You rich people, a life is nothing but material possessions. You haven't seen those who died young. You should be thankful to have met someone who loves gold, not your life!"

Hua Ye lifted the curtain and walked in. His tone was frivolous but his face was very gloomy, which made those people feel creepy.

The group of people were so frightened that they scattered and each went to find their own mother...

Seeing the crowd slipping away quickly, Mu Qi couldn't help but give Hua Ye a thumbs up: It has to be you!

"Meet General Mu!"

Hua Ye stepped forward and saluted General Mu Lao, then said to Mu Qi: "You should ask your father to see less of these people in the future. Do you still want your father to enjoy his old age?"

General Mu's wrinkled face slowly relaxed after hearing Hua Ye's reproachful words, and he raised his head to look at her.

"You are quite sharp-tongued, girl. It's useless for these people to say more. I'm used to it. I'll just treat them as farts and let them go in one ear and out the other..."

General Mu slowly stood up, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and walked in front of Hua Ye.

"It's even better if you can think this way! Leave this matter to me. There is no thief that I, Hua Ye, can't catch!"

Hua Ye patted General Mu's arm without hesitation and continued, "Tell them to come to me if they have any problems. Don't let them set foot in the military camp and make the main tent a mess."

"Well, since you said that, I, Mu, will not be polite. I will give you seven days to find out the truth and arrest the real culprit."

Seeing that Hua Ye agreed readily, Mu Qi went along with it and set a deadline.

General Mu stood aside and rolled his eyes at his son Mu Qi from time to time. Then he said, "You kid, you've been investigating for over a month and haven't found anything. You've learned to exploit Hua girl..."

"Dad, how could you ruin my career like this in front of Miss Hua?" Mu Qi came up to General Mu and whispered, signaling with his eyes: Stop it!

"You asked me to come here today. So you were waiting for me? You refused to let me investigate a single case in the past while. Why did you think of me today?"

Hua Ye couldn't help but slap Mu Qi's arm several times, and Mu Qi also cried out a few times to express the pain.

"It's not just because you're bored, but also because everything needs money. The buildings in the city need to be repaired as soon as possible, and the people in the city need to be settled. The military camp is barely making ends meet. The capital is far away from here, and we don't know when the military will arrive."

Mu Qi originally wanted to get rid of Hua Ye easily and happily, but the more he talked, the more helpless he became. However, the situation was indeed serious.

"Okay, okay, okay... Stop talking. I can't bear to hear this. Since I, Hua Ye, have agreed to this matter, I will give you an explanation as soon as possible. Remember to buy more food when the time comes to reward me!"

Hua Ye waved his hands repeatedly, saluted General Mu, and turned around and left without stopping.

"Miss Hua, please hurry up. This young general is waiting for your good news!"

Mu Qi called out to her, thinking: It seems like I'll get news in a few days...
