Chapter 663 Secretly assassinating Chen Cang

The two of them talked as they walked and finalized their next plan.

They have plenty of ways to do it and Gao E has no say in whether to sell Ghost Crying Mountain or not.

At noon, Hu Zhexing came to Gao E's place to have a meal and complain.

"Boss Gao, the two people who taught the children the five etiquette not only disappeared every day, but also kidnapped Xiao Chuyun. He has so many flowers and trees, and Cao Jin and I helped water them. We are so tired that our waists are almost broken." Hu Zhexing looked complaining.

Gao E knew that Liang Jiange and his friends had been traveling around He County.

When I first came here, I disliked this place in many ways, but now I'm addicted to it.

"Just find two villagers to water the plants and calculate their working hours." Gao E felt that Hu Zhexing was just looking for an excuse to get a free meal.

"That's really not possible. Xiao Chuyun said that those flowers and trees need to be carefully cared for. What if they are killed by two scoops of manure from your village?" Hu Zhexing said righteously.

"As long as I'm not angry, that's all." Gao E said you can go ahead and find someone.

Hu Zhexing still can't: "I am an educated person after all, I also want to travel."

"Go if you want to." Gao E said she didn't stop him.

"Really?" Hu Zhexing was excited. He planned to wait for Liang Jiange and the others to come back and then go out with them.

"Of course it's true." Gao E nodded. "I'll just look for the teacher again. It's not a big deal."

Hu Zhexing's face immediately fell.

"What's with that expression on your face?" Gao E looked at Hu Zhexing. "You're not planning to use your wages to go sightseeing, are you?"

Hu Zhexing laughed dryly.

"Can you please have some shame?" Gao E said angrily, "You already have six days off every month, and you still want to use your wages to travel."

"Then Xiao Chuyun goes out every day." Hu Zhexing felt that for Xiao Chuyun, this job was just fun.

"Then you should also go into the mountains every day and compile a collection of Wei Rui for me."

Hu Zhexing said that there is no turning back.

After some nonsense and lunch, Hu Zhexing left with a look of resentment.

Although Gao E suggested that Liang Jiange and Tang Song teach the children in the school the five etiquette, it would be fine if they really didn't teach them, after all, they were not there to teach.

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian knew that there were many outsiders in He County, so they naturally asked outsiders for information first.

Because they are also outsiders, they will naturally be closer to each other.

Gong Zhinian has been relatively quiet recently, especially after the incident with the Zhao family, which made him think about selling the land and leaving He County. Now he can make some money by selling the land.

"What is the name of the magistrate of He County?" Meng Xiangxian asked again unconsciously when he heard Xu Boyan's name.

"Xu Boyan." Seeing Meng Xiangxian's big reaction, Gong Zhinian asked, "Why? Brother Meng knows him?"

More than just recognition.

They thought they would never hear this name again, but they heard it in this place.

The two of them suddenly had a bad feeling...

"I misheard." Meng Xiangxian laughed. "I thought it was someone I'd heard of."

Gong Zhinian laughed when he heard Meng Xiangxian say this: "That Lord Xu's personality is unpredictable. He takes the money and doesn't do anything."

"It seems that Lord Xu is not a very good person." Liang Tian changed the subject.

"Well, after all, he's an official." Gong Zhinian said helplessly, cupping his hands. "If you two want to buy property in He County, why not take a look at mine first? If it weren't for family matters, I wouldn't be willing to sell it to you."

"There's no rush to acquire property." Liang Tian sighed. "I consulted a fortune teller, and he said that Hexian's Ghost Crying Mountain would be a place of prosperity for my family. It's a pity that it's Madam Chen's property, and she won't give it up no matter what."

Gong Zhinian heard Liang Tian say this and warned cautiously: "Don't offend her."

"Why?" Liang Tian was puzzled.

"This Madam Chen is quite resourceful. She has close ties with both magistrates. Anyone who crosses her will suffer a bitter fate." Gong Zhinian lowered his voice. "Now she manages the assets of the Chen family, the richest family in Hexian County. She has also sent the entire Zhao family, who were plotting against the Chen family's assets, to jail. Just think about her relationship with the magistrate..."

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian's hearts skipped a beat. If Gao and Xu Boyan really had some relationship, then they...

He chatted with Gong Zhinian for a while, and Gong Zhinian exaggerated a lot of things about Gao E. It was not until late at night that the three of them went back.

The two men quickly returned to the inn, carefully closed the door, and then began to discuss in a low voice.

"How credible do you think Gong Zhinian's words are?" Liang Tian looked solemn.

"Although it has been exaggerated, the result should be correct." Meng Xiangxian guessed.

"If this is true, we must leave He County immediately and go back to report this matter to the head of the family. Perhaps Young Master Zhiyu died at the hands of Xu Boyan." Liang Tian's voice became even lower.

Meng Xiangxian thought the same thing: "Could it be that they have the same name? Even if Xu Boyan hadn't died in the fire and survived, he probably wouldn't have dared to use his real name."

Liang Tian thought for a moment and said, "Then let's find a chance to confirm it."

"In fact, even if it's Xu Boyan, as long as we don't show up in front of him, he won't know we are in He County." Meng Xiangxian was optimistic, "But we definitely can't take his route."

Liang Tian thought about it and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"The head of the family sent people to look for the strange stone twice. The stone must be very important. As long as we buy Ghost Crying Mountain and don't let anyone from the Tao family appear in front of Xu Boyan, we can sneak into Chencang." Meng Xiangxian analyzed.

Liang Tian hesitated again and again: "Do you have an idea?"

"The reason Gong Zhinian exaggerated what he said about the Gao family must be because he and the Gao family are at odds." Meng Xiangxian said with a smile, "Perhaps we can find a way by starting with him."

Liang Tian didn't nod, which was considered as his agreement.

The two checked out early because staying in an inn would easily reveal their origins.

Afterwards, he found a broker and rented a small house not far from the county government office.

As the saying goes, the darkest place is under the lamp. Xu Boyan may not know that they will live here.

However, as soon as they moved to a new place, Bai Hao came to report. Xu Boyan was a little surprised. Could it be that those two people wanted to live in He County?

He ordered Bai Hao to keep watching and did not ask any more questions.

He will eventually deal with the Tao family, but the most important thing now is Princess Qingfeng.

If nothing unexpected happens this time, they will be able to win over the eldest princess as their helper.

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian finally hid in the crowd when Xu Boyan was in court. After confirming that Xu Boyan was Xu Boyan from the Xu family in Dancheng, the two no longer had any hope.

I thought to myself that it was fortunate that they were cautious enough, otherwise if I ran in front of Xu Boyan, I would definitely be in great danger.

"If we had known that Xu Boyan was the magistrate of He County, we should have brought out a few pigeons." Meng Xiangxian sighed.

Liang Tian was thinking about something else: "You said that He Tangchun and Xu Boyan became magistrates of He County one after another. Is it just a coincidence?"

Meng Xiangxian thought about it and realized it was true: "If He Tangchun knew that Xu Boyan would be the next magistrate, why didn't he tell the head of the family?"
