Transmigrated to become a mountain bandit? Well, it's like returning to my old profession. The mountain stronghold was as poor as could be, so we could only start developing the land to achieve...
Hearing Mu Zi's tone, Chen Han was furious and had long lost his usual composure.
"Hey, what do you mean, Mr. Mu? Are you just going to abandon the people they let go?"
That was his private treasury, the wealth he had accumulated throughout his life, and not a single penny was left for him.
Mu Zi looked at Chen Han's bloodshot eyes and pale lips; he had lost all his usual composure.
"Master Chen, I know you're anxious. Since you've reported it to the authorities, you must follow their instructions. We will do our best to solve the case. As for the merchant caravans that have already left the city, they are all recorded. We can just check them."
Chen Han's lips trembled as he suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. "What if we can't find out?"
"Mr. Chen, please calm down. The government will do its best."
"Calm down my ass..."
Mu Zi looked at the somewhat deranged Chen Han and shook her head helplessly. "City official, bring the booklet."
"yes,"
After the city official handed over the entry and exit register, Mu Zi carefully checked it and found nothing suspicious in the records.
Before he could speak, the booklet was snatched from his hand.
Chen Han flipped through the booklet with a rustling sound, his hands trembling. "A family visit team heading towards Liangjing, a merchant caravan heading to Guanjun, a Lion King Escort Agency... Who knows if they're real or fake? Chase them all down, bring them all back, don't let a single one escape."
The city official listened to Chen Han's roar, pursed his lips and ignored him, only looking at Mu Zi beside him, awaiting his instructions.
“Master Chen, we can catch up and conduct a routine inspection, but we cannot stop them, especially the family reunion procession from Liangjing, which we must not provoke.”
As Mu Zi spoke, ignoring Chen Han's furious expression, she directly asked the city official when they had left, and then looked at Chen Han with regret.
"Master Chen, they've been gone for half an hour, what do you think?" Even if there was something wrong, it should have been dealt with long ago.
However, Mu Zi couldn't say this, and could only let Chen Han make the decision himself, since he looked like he had indeed suffered heavy losses.
"What am I looking at? Of course we're going to follow them, especially that Lion King Escort Agency, they're the most suspicious." The Lion King Escort Agency has a grudge against Kun'er, and now that they've moved all their way here, there must be something fishy going on.
Mu Zi shook his head, silently waved to the constable, and led his men out of the city to pursue them.
They are the victims, after all. As for the outcome, that's up to fate.
Mo Lan and her companion walked along the mountain path, completely unaware that because of her, the official road was in chaos, with people and horses stumbling and resentment running high.
Of course, the most innocent party was Lion King Escort Agency. They were already unlucky enough to move their entire family, and now the Chen family mansion was burglarized. Since they also had a conflict with Chen Kun, they just happened to become the prime suspects and were taken back to Ye County for investigation.
Although after all that trouble, Chen Kun didn't find any stolen goods in the Lion King Escort Agency's luggage, he insisted that the theft of the mansion was related to the escort agency and refused to release the people.
Back in Ye County, the two sides remained deadlocked, and without any solid evidence, Jiang Mian had no choice but to use force to order the escort agency's people to return to their residences first, forbidding them from leaving without a written order.
As for the Chen family, they were forbidden from causing any more trouble, or they would be imprisoned for disturbing public order. Only then did the two families quiet down.
That's a story for later, so let's leave it at that for now.
Meanwhile, Mo Lan and her servant strolled around for more than an hour before finally arriving at the foot of Qinglong Village.
"Miss, we're finally home. If we had walked any further, my legs would have been ruined." Hua Bao slumped on a stone bench, rubbing her calves, looking miserable.
