"He was originally an illegitimate son, and sooner or later he would be released from the mansion to establish his own household. Some people helped plead for him, and Father did not stop us much. We did not want to stay in Jiang County, so we sold some of our private property and wanted to settle down in Xiao Rou's family home."

Once Wang Wencheng recovered, his eyes blazed with fury. "Who would have thought that we'd be attacked so soon after leaving Jiang County? You saw what happened next, young lady."

Listening to the couple's account, Mo Lan immediately recognized Wang Wentao as the prime suspect.

However, everything requires evidence, and she cannot make a conclusion blindly. But the whole thing is definitely related to Wang Wentao, that much is undeniable.

Thinking of this, Mo Lan directly stated her position to the couple, "I can take you into the city, and I can find an opportunity to take you to see Wang Wentao, but I will absolutely not help you kill anyone. This is a matter of principle."

"Don't worry, young lady. If it really was Wang Wentao who did it, we will take revenge ourselves and will not rely on anyone else." Wang Wencheng said in a deep voice, clenching his fist.

“My husband is right, I will avenge this myself.” Xiao Rou bared her teeth, her eyes bloodshot.

Thinking about what the couple had gone through, Mo Lan nodded. Putting herself in their shoes, if she were to encounter such a tragic event, even if it meant being shattered to pieces, she would personally seek revenge, even if it meant being a moth drawn to a flame.

“In that case, I agree to your request.” Mo Lan said, and directly called to the tomb spirit to put the two into the mandala.

Since the passage had already been closed, the two of them changed their minds, and at the same time, the tomb spirit was unable to reopen the passage.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll train them properly." The tomb spirit's cheerful voice rang in Mo Lan's ears. Finally, she had something to do. She was so happy.

With the ghost gone, Mo Lan felt the air warm up considerably. Looking at the scene in the ditch, Mo Lan summoned Han Shuang, and the two of them together buried the person in peace.

After working for more than an hour, looking at the several fresh graves, Mo Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's about time, let's go."

"Yes, boss."

Han Shuang's face was stern. She had just arrived in Jiang County and encountered such a thing. It seemed that this trip to Jiang County would be full of twists and turns.

The two drove the carriage and arrived at the city gate in half an hour. Looking at the people queuing to enter the city, Mo Lan frowned.

Entering the city required paying two coins per person, and people had to queue for inspection, which was slow and the staff were very rude.

However, those traveling by carriage, especially those with badges on their carriages, were given special courtesy by the city gate officials, who let them pass without much inspection.

Sure enough, the closer one got to the interior of China and the closer one got to the capital, the more obvious the class divisions became, and it was always the common people struggling at the bottom who suffered the most.

As Han Shuang drove the carriage closer, the city gate official patted it up and down twice, but seeing no sign on the carriage, he began his routine questioning and inspection.

"Where are you from? What are you doing in the city? Do you have a travel permit...?"

Before the gatekeeper could finish his question, Han Shuang tossed over a piece of silver, saying, "My young lady is visiting relatives in the city to see our great-aunt. Please do her a favor."

The city gate official caught the silver that Han Shuang tossed to him, and his eyes immediately changed. Such generosity showed that they were not an ordinary family.

"I see. Since there is a young lady in the car, I apologize for my rudeness."

The gatekeeper lifted the carriage curtain and glanced inside. He saw Mo Lan lounging lazily in the soft chair and immediately gave a fawning smile.

"Excuse me!"

In the end, they were just minor officials guarding the city gates. They only dared to shout a few words at the common people, but they could only grovel before those from powerful families.
