Qing An said sheepishly, "It's only been a few days. Qingzhou is so far away, it will take at least half a month to get there."

The reason these lists were delivered so quickly was because of Qi's official post station, which changed people and horses at every post station and traveled day and night to deliver these lists to the capital within seven days.

It would take some time for the spies to go to Qingzhou to verify the information. Even if they found out the news, it would take several days for the carrier pigeon to arrive. It was estimated that it would take a month to get a result.

Xie Xianyu frowned and didn't ask any more questions, but quickly flipped through the booklet.

Because several prefectures near Qingzhou suffered from floods a while ago, a lot of refugees poured in and settled down there, so the list is particularly thick and the people are disorganized.

Naturalized citizens will have an identity introduction and according to the rules should have a portrait drawn, but Qingzhou is located in a remote area and is not so particular. They will just sketch a few strokes and write down their characteristics.

Qing An was watching from the side and felt a headache. He couldn't help but say: "Master, I don't think my cousin has the courage to go to Qingzhou. Master has already suspected her and Lin Han. How could she dare to run there?"

Xie Xianyu sneered, "Others might not dare, but she might not."

Who knows if she had the courage to play tricks on him?

Xie Xianyu searched for three whole days but couldn't find her among these new naturalized citizens, not even a suspicion.

He even had some doubts, maybe he was worrying too much, and she was not that brave.

Su Yan rushed in and said, "I've asked people to check the new naturalization lists of other states, but couldn't find it. I looked for it based on the portrait you gave me."

Xie Xianyu's eyebrows twitched, and he rested his arm on the table, pressing his brows. "It's impossible not to find it. They must have done something. Check again. Screen out anything that's even slightly suspicious and check again."

Su Yan couldn't help but persuade her: "Why bother? She's just a woman, she's gone, so what can you do by digging her out?"

Xie Xianyu raised his eyes, and his cold gaze made Su Yan shiver all over.

Su Yan immediately smiled awkwardly: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xie Xianyu's fingers were resting on the desk, what was he doing turning her out?

Of course, they would skin her, break her legs, and crush her neck!

Su Yan felt terrified when he saw him like this, and rushed out of the study. Qing An couldn't help but say, "Master Su, please try to persuade our young master."

"What you said is that my life is not a life?"

Qingan: “…”

Su Yan patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, he can really get himself mad to death? I think he looks much better now than before. At least he is still quite energetic."

After Qing'an thought about it, he actually agreed: "That's true."

During the month he kept vigil for his cousin, Qing'an looked even scarier. He had never seen the young master look so lifeless.

Xie Xianyu checked the Qingzhou Prefecture's roster again, but still found no clues.

Just when he was about to personally check the lists of other prefectures one by one, a letter arrived from Qingzhou.

Qing'an rushed in: "Sir, it seems that Lin Han is getting married."

"Get married?" Xie Xianyu raised his eyes suddenly.

"It's a letter from the prefect of Qingzhou, saying that Lin Han also sent him a wedding invitation."

Because Xie Xianyu sent someone to ask the Qingzhou prefect for Lin Han's information, the prefect was also a shrewd person. He probably thought that Xie Xianyu didn't know Lin Han, so he specially informed him of this girl's letter.

"With whom?"

"She's from Liuzhou, and her name is Wei." Qing'an scratched his head. "It looks like Lin Han really has nothing to do with my cousin now."

Liuzhou, that’s completely unrelated.

"What's your identity?"

"I'm from Liuzhou's Qiyun County. Qiyun County is backed by mountains, and almost all the people there are farmers."

Xie Xianyu's eyes darkened. "He's now a county magistrate with official status, and he's marrying a peasant girl?"

When Qing'an heard this, he was stunned for a moment and realized that something was wrong.

"Bring the list of new naturalized citizens in Liuzhou in the past three months and check to see if there is anyone named Wei." Xie Xianyu said coldly.

"yes!"

Qing'an immediately went to find Su Yan, looked through the roster again, and finally found Wei!

The roster information was brought to Xie Xianyu's eyes. He stared at the two words "䲾薇" written on it, his eyes becoming more and more fierce, as if he wanted to stare a hole into those two words!

"Is this the conclusion you've checked over and over again?!" Xie Xianyu asked grimly.

Su Yan quickly defended himself: "This, this portrait and features don't look like the same person at all."

The portrait on the list showed a face full of pockmarks, thick and heavy eyebrows, and big and thick lips. At first glance, it was impossible to associate it with the beauty in the painting given by Xie Xianyu.

But Xie Xianyu could see through this deliberate disguise at a glance. An oval face the size of a palm with such a big mouth must be a monster!

Xie Xianyu took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "When is the wedding date?"

Qing'an said tremblingly: "Half a month later."

He stood up suddenly: "Saddle my horse."

"yes!"
