The doorman warmly stepped forward and took the donkey-hide gelatin.
"Young masters, the deputy city lord has instructed that anyone from Wan Gu Lai can go directly in. He should be in his study handling official business at the moment. I will have someone take you two there!"
Qin Luo didn't stand on ceremony with him. After handing over the donkey-hide gelatin and thanking him, she headed into the mansion.
The servant led the two to the study. Someone must have informed them beforehand; Mo Baiyou was waiting for them.
"May I ask what brings you two young masters here? If I can be of any help, I certainly won't refuse!"
Seeing that he had gotten straight to the point, Qin Luo stopped with the feigned politeness.
"I'm not here to help, I'm here to make a deal with you!"
Mo Baiyou's interest grew even stronger upon hearing this.
"What kind of deal is it? Please tell me, young master!"
"I'll give you a chance to make a contribution. Help me get the divorce papers from the city lord and his wife. That shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
This was a trivial matter for Mo Baiyou, but people are naturally curious.
"Young Master, you could have simply sent a servant to give the message. Why bother coming in person? As for the opportunity to earn merit, I'm genuinely curious..."
Qin Luo appreciated his honesty and told him about the gold mine in detail.
"The miners say that apart from the gold piled up there, no more gold can be mined from the mine, but there is still a considerable amount!"
Mo Baiyou was shocked to hear this; he hadn't expected it to be such a great achievement.
"Please tell me the exact address, young master. I, Mo Baiyou, will remember your kindness today!"
Qin Luo took out paper and pen, wrote down the address, and then handed him a Bodhi leaf.
"That place has been enchanted by a sorcerer; only those with this Bodhi leaf can enter! Remember to bring plenty of men; there are still hundreds of bandits inside. Although they've been drugged and trapped for a long time, they shouldn't be underestimated!"
She spoke with such seriousness that Mo Baiyou believed her even more.
"Alright, I'll go get the divorce papers right away. Tomorrow morning, I'll take the constables and soldiers to the gold mine!"
Qin Luo saw that he was eager to verify, so she did not stop him.
"You can have whatever you want, I just want the divorce papers!"
Immediately, Mo Baiyou had a divorce agreement written and sent to Yang Shaobo's cell, where he was to put his fingerprint on it.
At this point, Yang Shaobo was in a daze, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
Upon seeing someone approaching, she alternated between crying and laughing, and cursing, waving her arms wildly at the air.
"Hahahaha, are you trying to harm me, or are you trying to harm me? Do you all want to harm me? Do you want to seize my position as city lord?"
The arriving guards already disliked him, and immediately kicked him.
After kicking him unconscious, I cut his finger and pressed it onto the divorce papers.
Then he turned and left gracefully, leaving Yang Shaobo lying on the ground like a dead pig.
After receiving the divorce papers, Qin Luo and Wu Hua didn't linger. After exchanging a few polite words, they prepared to return to Wangu.
Mo Baiyou escorted the two of them to the gate of the city lord's mansion, where they saw Steward Rui standing there waiting.
He quickly went up and gave the gatekeeper a good scolding.
"Didn't I say before that we should invite anyone from Wan Gu in immediately? Why are you making Steward Rui wait here?"
The doorman, who had been scolded, looked completely innocent, and Steward Rui immediately offered an explanation on his behalf.
"Deputy City Lord, please don't scold him. It was my own unwillingness to go in, fearing that I would disturb your important discussion with the young master. Don't blame him!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Baiyou finally calmed down.
"I misunderstood. We'll give him a raise this month as compensation!"
Steward Rui didn't reply, but simply nodded slightly before walking over to Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
The gatekeeper was overjoyed; being scolded meant a raise in his monthly salary, and he had no idea what he had just been complaining about.
If only the deputy city lord could scold me a few more times in the future!
The others paid no attention to his fantasy, simply exchanging polite farewells before leaving.
On the way back, Qin Luo didn't hide anything and told Steward Rui the whole story.
Manager Rui praised her for doing the right thing, saying that gold mines should not be privately mined in the first place.
If discovered, their entire family, including nine generations, will be executed.
He hadn't expected that these two young masters, despite their young age, would be so capable in handling affairs. They were truly promising successors for the future!
After the three returned, Qin Luo immediately delivered the divorce papers, along with the silver notes and deeds, to Ren Qingqing's room.
"Keep these things safe. From today onwards, you're a free and wealthy young woman. Once your leg has healed, start enjoying your life!"
Ren Qingqing didn't react much when she received the banknotes and deeds.
The moment she saw the divorce papers, she burst into tears.
"People say that Heaven is unjust, and I used to think so too. But after meeting you, I realized that it's not that Heaven is unjust, but that He is too busy and needs messengers like you to save people like us who suffer injustice!"
It has to be said, she actually hit a lucky break.
Although Qin Luo wasn't an envoy of Heaven, they at least had some connection.
It's not impossible to do something for Heaven and salvage some of its reputation.
After all, he'd called him "Dad" so many times; it was a way of making his father proud.
Qin Luo took out a packet of pills and handed it to her.
"With one pill a day, you'll be able to walk in less than a month. Tomorrow, my little one and I will be embarking on a long journey. You can make other plans after you've fully recovered from your injuries!"
Ren Qingqing had difficulty moving around, so she had Dongxia kowtow to Qin Luo on her behalf.
"I will forever remember your great kindness. Once I am settled, I will definitely erect a longevity tablet for you both!"
Qin Luo did not refuse; she preferred this to gold and silver treasures.
"Thank you very much! Take good care of yourself and get well soon. We'll head back now, and hopefully we'll meet again someday! Take care!"
