Chapter 163 The plot is about to collapse again



Tangxi City originally thought that after Kang Shi went to the government office and made a big fuss, he would be able to see Kang Wenlu.

As soon as Kang Wenlu was found dead, the matter became a big deal.

But unexpectedly, the other party returned home in shame, hid in the room as soon as he entered the house, and refused to talk to outsiders.

Tang Xicheng had no choice but to go to the Kang family's servants to inquire, but these people were very tight-lipped and refused to say anything.

This is no wonder. If someone were to find out that their master was enclosing land, their entire family would be destroyed and their property would be confiscated. Then these servants would not be able to escape.

So how could they possibly tell an outsider about this when they don’t even know the identity of this outsider?

Kang Shi was extremely frightened, and immediately sent someone to deal with the families who had enclosed their land. Of course, this person was not that cruel, and he just gave these people some money to let them run away as soon as possible.

In addition, they arrested some tenant farmers' families and threatened them not to speak carelessly.

However, if he took action at this moment, wouldn't that be like trying to cover up his mistakes? This played into the Third Prince's hands.

In the middle of the night, the servants of the Kang family went out of the city to solve the problem, and the third prince followed them with his men.

"How impatient! I thought they would wait at least two days before resolving the matter. They sent people that very night. If only I hadn't had to keep an eye on them, they would have followed them!"

The third prince followed the servants of the Kang family and came to the homes of the tenants whose land they had enclosed.

This time the harvest was quite fruitful. Some time ago, the Third Prince and General Mu investigated everywhere. Although they knew that the Kang family had engaged in land enclosure, it was only a small amount.

The two people concluded that the Kang family must have other forces, but it was difficult to find them now, and if they searched on a large scale, they might be discovered by the Kang family.

It would be much more difficult to investigate once we alert the enemy. Now that they have revealed it on their own initiative, it really kills two birds with one stone.

So when those small landlords took their gold, silver and valuables and fled with their entire families, they were intercepted by the Third Prince and his men as soon as they left Wancheng.

"Hey, you wealthy folks are leaving town so late at night? Don't you think you could choose a good time to move? And you're leaving behind such a large piece of land. Don't you plan on keeping it?"

The Third Prince was smiling when he said this, and this group of people were frightened to death. They all knelt down in front of the Third Prince with several thuds.

With these people, the evidence is even more sufficient, and such a large-scale land enclosure is enough to make it impossible for the entire Kang family to recover.

The third prince took the evidence and happily came to see his second brother.

Coincidentally, my second brother is teaching my younger sister to speak again, and now my younger sister is speaking more and more fluently.

I can already call out words like brother, father, and mother!

The imperial concubine and General Mu were extremely happy and coaxed the little princess to call her grandpa.

Yaoguangyue can talk, and it is very obvious when she shares her thoughts and sends messages in dreams. But now her tongue is too soft and cannot be tamed.

[System, are you alright? Come and talk to me! Your tongue is too soft, I can't control it!]

However, no matter how Yao Guangyue shouted, the system did not respond. There was nothing she could do as the 12 hours had not yet arrived.

"Little sister, do you recognize me? I'm your third brother. Look, I just bought it from the roadside."

The third prince had bought a candied haws from the street at some point. After all, he was a child, and Yao Guangyue's attention was instantly attracted to him.

"Sugar, sugar!"

Yao Guangyue was so anxious that she stretched out her little hand and finally grabbed the candied haws. She was so happy, but she was gritting her teeth in her heart.

Is the word "gourd" so difficult to say? Why can't I control my tongue?

Although she felt resentful in her heart, it did not stop Yao Guangyue from licking the candied haws. The key point was that the candied haws had a layer of sugar on the outside and hawthorn fruit inside.

After licking the candy and biting the fruit, Yao Guangyue's teeth were about to fall out from the sour taste. Although she had no teeth to begin with, she couldn't stop drooling.

[So sour, host, what are you doing? ]

In the blink of an eye, twelve hours had passed and the system's voice reappeared.

[Host, could you please stop eating carelessly? This system can sometimes connect to your senses. So sour!]

【Haha, system, you are back! 】

The system is back, which is good news for everyone. The happiest person among them is Yao Guangyue, because there is someone to talk to her again.

Of course, the system was also happy because the third prince had all the evidence of the Qin family's land enclosure and could take them down in one fell swoop.

However, there is also a system that is unhappy here, and that is Qin Xuezhen’s system.

[Damn it, the plot just sounded an alarm. It's going to crash again soon. Host, please fix the plot as soon as possible!]

Qin Xue was really shocked. If the plot was going to collapse again, wouldn't that mean she would be punished again?

In a moment of shock, the chopsticks in Qin Xuezhen's hand fell to the ground, and Tang Xicheng immediately understood that the system must have said something.

"What's wrong? Did the system say something to you again?"

Qin Xuezhen nodded timidly and replied, "Yes, the system said the plot might collapse again."

"What do you mean by that?"

"What this means is that something might happen to the Kang family, and they won't be able to help us anymore."

Tang Xicheng slammed the table. How come after all his efforts, this was the result?

"This is impossible. What went wrong? Why didn't Kang Shi go looking for his son anymore? Kang Wenhai was almost frozen to death, didn't he care?"

Tangxicheng really couldn't figure it out, but asking Qin Xuezhen was useless, and the system couldn't answer the reason at all. Tangxicheng had no choice but to think of other ways.

"Qin Xuezhen, ask the system if there is any potion that can make Kang Shi answer my questions honestly and not remember ever meeting me?"

Qin Xuezhen couldn't help but sigh. Wouldn't this damage her luck as the heroine again?

But she didn't dare to refuse, so she could only ask the system obediently.

[Host, please tell the hero that here is a bottle of truth serum. It allows the user to answer any question without falsehood. However, this potion will consume 5% of the heroine's luck.]

Qin Xuezhen told Tang Xicheng these words truthfully. He didn't care about the heroine's luck and directly forced Qin Xuezhen to take out the potion.

Qin Xuezhen had no choice but to go and exchange it, and then the system issued a prompt.

[Reminder to the host: The current female protagonist's luck value is 85%. Please complete all tasks as soon as possible to replenish the female protagonist's luck!]

What else could Qin Xuezhen say? Now everything was beyond his control. He could only give the potion to Tangxicheng first, hoping that this man could complete the task.

Later, Tang Xicheng came to see Kang Shi with the potion, but Kang Shi was no longer as enthusiastic towards him as before.
