Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Several people went straight to the study, but Wu Qingming went to check the secret room first. Seeing that there were plenty of gold, silver and jewelry, his heart sank.

He asked everyone to leave and dragged his dazed body slowly towards the scroll. When he saw that there was no hidden letter, he lost all his strength and sat down on the ground.

"It's over, it's over, the Wu family is finished." He kept muttering in a daze: "Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?"

Suddenly remembering something, he shouted to the door, "Come in!"

The person waiting outside the door did not dare to hesitate for a moment: "Mingfu, what are your orders?"

Wu Qingming looked at the two masters he had invited with a fierce look in his eyes: "You said that everyone in the house was drugged? How did you know?"

"Yes, with our brothers' vigilance, the thief would never have acted rashly. Furthermore, we have been guarding the mansion for three years, and there has never been a single mistake in those three years. The man knows us brothers, and we even take turns eating and resting. Yet, we both fell asleep yesterday. If the thief had tried to enter the study, he would have alarmed us, but we didn't make any movement. When we woke up this morning, we felt groggy and dizzy. This must be a problem," one of them replied. The other continued, "We woke up this morning and felt something was amiss. We checked everywhere in the mansion, and the servants and maids were all fast asleep and difficult to wake."

"Yes, these two people have never been in trouble in the past three years. Why did they get into trouble this time? No one in the entire Wu family was spared. Someone must have figured out the situation in the house before taking action. Who is it?"

Wu Qingming was confused for a moment and couldn't figure out who it was.

"Mr. Wu Ming, I have something to tell you, but I'm not sure if I should tell you." Yin Shiwu looked at Wu Qingming's face and said in a low voice.

Wu Qingming didn't say anything, just looked at him steadily.

Yin Shiwu immediately said, "A few days ago, the Ming Mansion entertained several distinguished guests, and many of the guards they brought with them were highly skilled in martial arts."

He didn't know if it was any use saying this. When he went to have dinner during his shift that day, he met a few of them. He could tell at that moment that these people were not ordinary.

Wu Qingming suddenly understood the key point. That's right, Tang Jue! He'd said that a prefect, a second-rank official, had come to the county to inspect the disaster and then dismissed it hastily. He'd thought Tang Jue was incompetent and just pretending, but he'd been targeting him.

If that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel!

"How many of your people are here in this county?"

"About eight people!"

"How's your Kung Fu?"

"They are all my disciples."

"Okay, let all the followers in your county go and kill Tang Jue and others for me. Since they don't want me to have an easy life, don't blame me for leaving them no way alive." Wu Qingming's eyes were full of viciousness.

These words frightened Yin Shiwu and the other two. Although their sect was engaged in the business of murder and robbery, this was an important official of the imperial court and a second-rank official. No matter what, this would bring disaster to the sect! The two did not dare to agree and just lowered their heads in silence.

Wu Qingming glanced at the two of them and sneered. Then he opened the secret room, which was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry that made people dizzy.

"If you accept this deal, all the gold, silver and jewelry here will be given to you."

The two men stared at the gold and silver in front of them and said to Wu Qingming, "Does Wu Mingfu regret this?"

"not regret!"

"Okay, then let's establish evidence according to the rules!"

Both parties quickly wrote the certificate, signed and sealed it, and the two of them left immediately after receiving the certificate.

Yu Shen and Yu Xing did not dare to stop along the way and went straight to find Old Man Yu and others. The people who followed them also kept walking fast.

The sound of horse hooves seemed even more tense in the vast open space. The two men did not dare to go directly to their settlement, so they deliberately took a detour to several places to leave some traces.

"Someone is coming from the front. It's Mr. Yu's guard. Go and report it quickly." The guards stationed there saw people coming, took a closer look and confirmed that they were Yu Shen and Yu Xing, and hurriedly let them pass.

The two men dismounted and headed straight for Old Man Yu.

"Master, we are back and have fulfilled our mission." He took out all the letters and handed them to Old Man Yu.

Old Master Yu took the letters and pulled out one to read its contents. After reading one, he turned to another, and his expression became uglier as he read more.

When Tang Jue came in, he saw Old Man Yu’s face as dark as ink. He cast his eyes on the letters beside him and took one.

After reading several letters in a row, he said in a deep voice: "It seems that I really underestimated Wu Qingming. He is really brave!"

Old Master Yu said, "Dozens of officials were implicated here. To win them over, he even forced decent women into prostitution and concubines to pave the way for him. Over the past three years, he's killed dozens of people. He's seized merchants' property for gold and silver, leaving no one alive. He remembers every detail of this."

"I'm afraid he uses these things to control the officials he has won over, but this is also his death warrant!" Tang Jue continued.

Old Master Yu handed a letter to Tang Jue. "There's more than that. Look at this one. Most of the gold and silver went into Wen's pocket, that's all. But he actually bought and sold official positions? Wen was willing to support him, and some positions were even sold to the capital."

Tang Jue looked at him and said, "Mr. Yu, do you have any other plans?"

"Let's do what is right, Governor Tang. I will write a letter to the emperor and hand over these letters together. It's time for Wen to exercise her muscles." After saying this, he asked people to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Tang Jue had always been decisive and resolute. Now, with this substantial evidence and the victim protected by Old Man Yu, he ordered a team of palace guards to change into official uniforms and head straight for Qingyun County.

When approaching Qingyun County, they encountered troops sent to support disaster relief. This time, the one who came was the deputy governor Wang Quan, who brought more than 5,000 troops.

"Deputy Envoy Wang, you are finally here. I have been waiting for many days." Tang Jue was naturally excited to see them, and the people had more hope.

Wang Quan bowed and replied, "There's no need for this, Prefect Tang. This is all for the people. Where are you going?"

Tang Jue did not hide anything and explained the matter briefly. Wang Quan was smart, and he had heard about Wu Qingming's affairs. Not only that, his subordinates had mentioned it to him some time ago, saying how smart this person was.

He had some memories, but he had never thought they were so useless. Such secret matters were even left in letters. Hearing what Old Man Yu and Tang Jue were saying, he immediately had a plan.

"You, Mr. Tang, have only about thirty people. If the county magistrate has other intentions, I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat him. So, I will lend you a team of my personal guards, so that you can act more safely and conveniently." Wang Quan showed goodwill in this way, and Tang Jue naturally accepted it.

The two said goodbye and headed towards their destinations. When Tang Jue and everyone else appeared in front of the yamen, Wu Qingming knew that his Wu family's life was over.

The men who had been chasing the Yu Shen brothers, after chasing them for half a day without seeing any sign of them, knew they were no ordinary soldiers or guards. After discussing the risks, they decided to abandon the matter. After all, Wu Qingming couldn't do anything to them.
