The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

The white steamed buns at Zhu Sanfu Restaurant are the best in the entire Yilan County!

The skin is white, and the inside is full of meat. Take a bite and the meat juice will burst out immediately. It is so fragrant that you can bite your tongue off!

Murong Jiu couldn't help but drool just from hearing that, and her stomach even rumbled!

Seeing this, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that some people didn't eat enough for dinner tonight!"

The two little girls covered their mouths and laughed!

It's been so long since I've felt this warm and cozy!

The craftsmen arrived early the next morning.

Although Jia Daoshi's house looks dilapidated, it has the advantage of being large enough. The empty yard in front of us is nearly one or two hundred square meters. It is solid land, which would be enough to build a villa before the time travel!

After the craftsmen arrived, Jia Daoshi took out some sketches he had drawn earlier and marked the parts that needed to be repaired and improved.

Replacing the roof tiles is something that must be done first.

With a shortage of manpower, Jia Daoshi and Di Qinglin personally stepped in to hand over tiles and transport bricks.

Before long, Jia Quan, Jia Hu, and Tie Lan also came to help, and the group worked enthusiastically!

……

The work in Jia Daoshi's courtyard was in full swing.

The commotion was so loud that Jia An from the next courtyard couldn't sit still any longer!

Hearing the shouts coming from all directions, Jia An threw away the Book of Rites in his hand!

He stood up angrily!

Outrageous!

This Jia Daoshi actually started renovating the house!

They even used carved bricks!

Wouldn't that put him in a better position?

He couldn't swallow this insult!

"What exactly is going on with Hong Fa?!"

Jia An paced back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back!

Hong Fa had previously stated that he would bring the experts from the Hundred Flowers Gang within two days at the latest, and they would directly crush Jia Daoshi!

Then he'll be able to see how Jia Daoshi makes a fool of himself!

But it's been so long!

"I'm going out for a walk! Don't go wandering around aimlessly if you don't have anything to do!"

Jia An left with a single sentence, then exited through the back door and headed towards Dahong Village.

He wanted to see if anyone was home at Hongfa's house.

Anyway, he felt this whole thing was too bizarre!

Moreover, Hong Fa even rode off with his horse!

I bought this myself for three taels of silver!

Even though it's a skinny horse, Hong Fa can't just ride it away for nothing, can he?

Jia An arrived at the entrance of Hong Fa's courtyard and was about to push the door open when it opened by itself!

Inside were two burly men dressed in blue, with knives hanging at their waists, exuding a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) spirit!

"Who are you?"

As soon as the other party saw Jia An, they immediately asked.

When Jia An saw the two menacing looks, his heart skipped a beat: "I... I've come to the wrong door!"

The other party's aura is too intimidating; it's best to run away!

"Wait! Who said you could leave!"

One of the burly men grabbed Jia An's shoulder and nearly broke it.

"Hero! Great hero! Spare him!"

Jia An cried out in pain.

"Speak! Did you come here to see Hong Fa?" the burly man in blue asked coldly.

“Yes…yes, I’m looking for Hong Fa,” Jia An said instinctively.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia An felt uneasy.

"Very well, we are from the Hundred Flowers Gang." The burly man in blue said coldly, "You are also from Dahong Village. When and where was the last time you saw Hong Fa?"

The Hundred Flowers Gang?

Jia An was stunned. The Hundred Flowers Gang members had all arrived, but where was Hong Fa?

"Say!"

The two burly men from the Hundred Flowers Gang immediately showed displeasure when they saw Jia An stammering.

The other party was just an ordinary villager; there was no need to be polite.

Hong Fa had asked the headquarters for a day off, but then simply vanished without a trace. The leader of the Hundred Flowers Gang was furious at losing such a talented disciple and had ordered the disciples of the Enforcement Hall to investigate.

Yilan County is located at the junction of two dynasties and is a hub for travelers from the north and south. It is also a gathering place for martial arts figures and a place where martial arts struggles are frequent. Any talented disciple is a coveted member of the gang, so of course, they cannot be allowed to get into trouble easily!

Hong Fa has not returned for several days, so it is highly likely that he has encountered an accident.

Therefore, it is essential to investigate thoroughly!

"The last time I saw Brother Hong was five days ago..."

Jia An was quite frightened by the other party. His mind raced, and he quickly thought of some possible things that might have happened. He immediately asked, "Brothers, has something happened to Brother Hong?"

The two burly men in blue looked very serious. They had just found some bloodstained bandages in Hong Fa's house.

“Hong Fa hasn’t returned since leaving the Hundred Flowers Gang. We suspect he’s been murdered! We are from the Hundred Flowers Gang’s Enforcement Hall and are investigating his whereabouts!”

Seeing that Jia An seemed to have a good relationship with Hong Fa, the two burly men in blue told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Jia An's face turned pale, and cold sweat poured down his back!

“Killed? How could that be!” Jia An murmured.

"It seems you know something," the burly man in blue said slowly, looking at Jia An. "Has Hong Fa recently made any enemies or grudges?"

"Could it be Jia Daoshi?"

"Yes! It must be this guy!"

After Jia An realized what was happening, his expression turned somewhat ferocious, and he shouted!

"Jia Daoshi? Who is that?"

Seeing that they had indeed found a clue, the two burly men in blue were invigorated!

They've been working hard outside for several days, in freezing weather!

Fortunately, we now have a lead, and we can finally go back and report!

"This Jia Daoshi..."

Jia An recounted everything that had happened before in detail!

"What? Villagers with superhuman strength?"
