I scolded Lou Xinlan, but instead of being angry, she was happy and said that she would become a fairy within two months. I laughed at her wishful thinking.

Lou Xinlan was very confident. In order to get her out of the city, I said I would marry her if she became beautiful within two months, but I was thinking about making a fool of myself.

When he met his father, he said that the letters he had kept in the mansion were lost, as well as the account books and the books of interest transactions between officials.

I was shocked and didn't understand why he would make such a stupid mistake.

My father sent people to search the city for several days but found no clues. He suspected that it was done by Prefect He.

"The He family can't stay here anymore. Who among you is willing to take action?"

Commander Sun volunteered to take hundreds of people disguised as bandits to kill Magistrate He. He thought it would be an easy task, but Commander Sun never came back.

My father had people dig for his body in the forest, but they didn't find it. They only found some of his subordinates who went out with him. Judging from the wounds, the other party had acted cleanly and efficiently, like a specially trained killer, or a death squad.

The people in the city suspected that it was my father who did it, and he asked me how to break the deadlock.

I said that we must search for the assassin in a high-profile manner, and we must appear serious and urgent to dispel everyone's doubts. It would be best if someone could take the blame so that others can't tell the truth from the false, and everyone will forget about it after a while.

My father accepted my suggestion and asked General Chen to lead people to Pushan Temple to capture He Jiahao alive to threaten Prefect He.

But only one day later, General Chen returned wounded, saying that someone had set an ambush at Pushan Temple and that none of the ten people who were traveling with him had survived.

His father scolded him, suspended him from work and asked him to reflect on his actions. At the same time, he asked another group of people to go to Pushan Temple to capture He Jiahao.

In order to express the attitude of the Governor's Office, I took people to the He Mansion and met the person I cannot part with in my life, Sheng Qiyue.

She came hand in hand with He Wenmao, like fairies in the lights of the courtyard. I never believed in love at first sight before, but now I do.

She looked at me curiously, then quickly looked away, gazing tenderly and lovingly at He Wenmao beside her, her movements full of intimacy and dependence.

I experienced jealousy for the first time.

He Wenmao is just a playboy who did so many disgusting things in the brothel. Why does he deserve Sheng Qiyue's treatment?

I believe that I am a hundred times better than He Wenmao, and an idea came to my mind, which was to snatch Sheng Qiyue away, keep her by my side, and let her realize who is better and more suitable for him.

The interrogation at He's house was not very smooth. The prefect insisted that it was a hero who helped him. I couldn't get much information. After returning, I reported everything to my father.

"Whether it's true or not, the person who stole the things must be related to Magistrate He."

My father asked me to keep an eye on the He Mansion, and I was more than happy to do so. I saw two people acting suspiciously in front of the door of the He Mansion.

Just when I was wondering whether I should check it out, Sheng Qiyue came out. It turned out that those two people were her family members, one was her stepfather and the other was her biological brother.

I also met Lu Xingyun, who was engaged to Sheng Qiyue.

Lu Xingyun is a celebrity in the city, and the storybooks he wrote are very popular. I also know some of them by chance. They are all about infatuated men and resentful women who cannot be in love. The plots are too boring and not as fascinating as military books and battle formations.

Lu Xingyun has been writing too many storybooks and his mental state has become a bit unstable. He often puts himself into the characters of a storybook. I was worried that Sheng Qiyue would be deceived by him, but Sheng Qiyue is smarter than I thought and did not fall for it.

After knowing that Sheng Qiyue was not as weak and gullible as she seemed, I became a little more interested in her. I was no longer anxious when I saw her being troubled by her brother and stepfather. I wanted to see how she handled it.

It turned out to be based on a forged household registration card.

I smiled. This was a good idea that could solve the problem once and for all.

I kept an eye on the He Mansion for a while. My father said that the He family could no longer stay and he was worried about sending others out, so he asked me to take people to wipe out the He Mansion.

I agreed and was very excited.

As long as everyone in the He Mansion is dead, Sheng Qiyue will be mine.

That night I sent people to rush into the He Mansion. Seeing the study burned to ashes, I thought that Magistrate He was dead and wanted to kill the man who possessed Sheng Qiuyue - He Wenmao - with my own hands.

However, I underestimated my enemy. He Wenmao was not actually He Wenmao, but someone who came from nowhere to impersonate him. He was quite skilled in martial arts and stabbed me in the shoulder with a sword.

It wasn't a fatal injury, so I didn't care.

I am a martial arts expert and can fight him to a draw even if I am injured, but the people I brought with me are not like that. Seeing that the disadvantage is becoming more and more obvious, I flew towards Furongyuan.

The fake He Wenmao came after me and looked very concerned. I didn’t think anything was wrong at the time, but later I found out that the person who had a relationship with Sheng Qiyue was the fake He Wenmao all along.

I was cheated. The one who stole the things was not some hero, but this fake He Wenmao.

Unfortunately, I didn’t think deeply about it at the time.

I hugged Sheng Qiyue. She was softer than I imagined and smelled fragrant. My heart was burning and my hands were trembling slightly. From today on, she was mine.

I used a smoke bomb to get rid of the fake He Wenmao, but unexpectedly Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway and snatched Sheng Qiyue away with extremely fast movements.

He fought the injured me to a draw with just one hand. He was more difficult to deal with than the fake He Wenmao. Seeing that the people behind were about to catch up, I left reluctantly.

The next day, there were more than a dozen corpses on the city wall. They were the people I brought to He Mansion. I didn't expect this.

The He family is so bold that they pretend to be ignorant even though they know the truth. Who is backing them and allowing them to openly declare war on us?

Could it be that he was stimulated by the death of the prefect?
