Speaking of the account book, he was even more angry. He never expected that the account book Bai Xingjian brought back was actually fake.
Yu Xuanji first leaked the news that the account book was in his hands, luring him to take the account book, and then used a fake account book to deceive Bai Xingjian.
What a good trick to lure the snake out of its hole and steal the dragon and turn it into a phoenix!
Yu Xuanji is indeed an old fox who has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years. She is very cunning!
What made him most angry was the mysterious person who gave the account book to Yu Xuanji. He still hasn't found out who this person is.
He thought that Yu Xuanji and Ye Zelin should have arrived in Luocheng and would come to capture him soon.
Last night, he arranged for his family to leave Luocheng overnight, and they should have left Luocheng by now.
The reason why he did not leave Luocheng was that he wanted to completely put an end to the case of the 100,000 official silver coins in Luocheng.
He didn't know how far Yu Xuanji had investigated, or whether she suspected that this case was not simple, but he knew that the person from the court who sent Ye Zelin to Yuezhou was definitely not simple. As for the real purpose of the person from the court who sent Ye Zelin to Yuezhou, he had no time to think about it. All he had to do was to end this case.
He could no longer get the money, and he couldn't let Yu Xuanji investigate further. He thought that the master sent Mr. Bai and his son to help him, and the worst-case scenario was that he would take responsibility for the case and become the mastermind.
Cai Yuanchang called the servant outside the study in and ordered, "Go tell Master Xiaobai that I told him to leave immediately. I'll take care of everything, and he doesn't have to worry about it."
The servant answered yes and went to Bai Xingjian's residence. At this time, Bai Xingjian was holding the Qingming Sword in deep thought. Every word and sentence Hua Fushu said emerged in his mind. She said that his surname was Han, she said that it was his adoptive father who kidnapped him, and she said that he recognized a thief as his father.
Was what she said about his background true or false?
Was Han Tuizhi his biological father? Was it really his adoptive father who abducted him and separated him from his family?
Did he really recognize the thief as his father?
His adoptive father had treated him very well over the past twenty years, and he was unwilling to believe that it was his adoptive father who had abducted him. However, Hua Fushu's story was so true that he even knew his date of birth exactly, and he even knew where the birthmark on his body was, what color it was, and what shape it was.
He had been thinking about it for a long time, and the longer he thought about it, the more inexplicably timid he felt in his heart.
"Young Master Bai..."
The servant called him twice, and Bai Xingjian came out of his deep thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?"
The servant relayed Cai Yuanchang's words to Bai Xingjian, who replied calmly, "I understand."
He looked at the servant and said, "Go down."
The servant left the room and went back to reply to Cai Yuanchang.
Inside the house, Bai Xingjian recalled what his adoptive father had said to him before he left. His adoptive father had said, "Jian'er, I will go ahead. You stay and help Master Cai. If he has any instructions, just obey him."
The adoptive father patted him on the shoulder and told him to be careful before leaving with his bag.
Those things had nothing to do with him. It was only because his adoptive father's master agreed that his adoptive father brought him to Yuezhou. Yu Xuanji and Ye Zelin had probably already arrived in Luocheng. Cai Yuanchang had nothing to do with him, so it was natural for him to leave first. Even if Cai Yuanchang didn't send anyone to ask him to leave, he would still leave.
He packed his bag and left through the back door of the governor's house carrying the Qingming Sword.
Bai Xingjian was wearing a very simple, half-worn outfit and a veil hat. He walked among the crowd and was regarded as just a wandering man of the world. He was not conspicuous and did not arouse suspicion.
As soon as Bai Xingjian left, Cai Yuanchang waited for Yu Xuanji to bring people to arrest him, but before Yu Xuanji's people arrived, Sai Yuhuan and Zhang Zhongjian arrived first.
They were on a banyan tree outside the wall of the Jiedushi's residence. The dense branches and leaves obscured their view, but they could clearly see the situation inside the residence, such as how many guards, servants, and security guards there were, and how far apart the guards were.
Sai Yuhuan lowered a small branch of the banyan tree with her hand and took a quick look at the governor's house. She clenched her fists slowly, and the anger in her heart gradually surged. The murderous intent in her eyes gradually revealed itself, and only she knew it.
How much she wanted to kill Cai Yuanchang to avenge her father, brother and the 30,000 innocent souls who died in vain!
For ten years, so many days and nights, there was not a single day when she didn't think about killing Cai Yuanchang. She wished she could pull out Cai Yuanchang's tendons, drink his blood, torture him to death, grind his bones into ashes, but she still couldn't get rid of the hatred in her heart!
She wanted to rush in and kill Cai Yuanchang right now!
Her right hand was already on the hilt of the knife, and she slowly pulled it out. She had only pulled the knife out a little when Zhang Zhongjian held her hand, preventing her from pulling it out. He said, "Linglong, don't be impulsive. The Jiedushi's house is heavily guarded. No matter how powerful our martial arts are, we can't defeat so many guards. Rushing in now will undoubtedly alert the enemy, which will not be worth the loss.
We've been hiding well these past few years. Cai Yuanchang probably doesn't know we're still alive, so we're here to seek revenge. It's daytime now, and the timing isn't right. Even if we kill Cai Yuanchang, it won't be easy for us to escape. Revenge requires careful planning."
Sai Yuhuan soon calmed down. Zhang Zhongjian was right. Now was not the time for revenge. Trying to kill Cai Yuanchang now might not succeed in killing him, but might even get himself into trouble.
She calmed her excited heart and asked, "When do you think is the best time?"
Zhang Zhongjian did not answer the best time for Sai Yuhuan to take revenge, but mentioned Ye Zelin: "It's not just us who want to kill Cai Yuanchang. Yu Xuanji and Ye Zelin should have arrived in Luocheng."
Sai Yuhuan suddenly understood what Zhang Zhongjian meant. She whispered, "Mingqiao, do you want to cooperate with your nephew-in-law and the others?"
Zhang Zhongjian didn't answer. Sai Yuhuan guessed what he meant, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "That's what you mean, right?"
Zhang Zhongjian made a gesture for silence and pointed at the house. Sai Yuhuan looked in the direction he pointed and saw several servants passing by. She stopped talking for fear of disturbing the people inside.
After the servants in the house left, Zhang Zhongjian whispered, "Let's wait and see what happens and see what Cai Yuanchang does."
Sai Yuhuan nodded. She had endured it for ten years, so a little while longer wouldn't make a difference.
From day to dusk, Zhang Zhongjian and Sai Yuhuan did not leave the governor's house. They hid in the banyan tree and watched every move in the house. Not to mention Cai Yuanchang's people, they didn't even see his back.
Logically speaking, since Yu Xuanji had arrived in Luocheng, Cai Yuanchang should have made some movement, but he did not make any movement at all, and Yu Xuanji did not make any movement either.
Zhang Zhongjian felt a little confused. What were Cai Yuanchang and Yu Xuanji thinking? Based on his understanding of Cai Yuanchang, he was a cruel and unscrupulous person. It was impossible for him to wait until Yu Xuanji arrived at his doorstep before taking action.
At midnight, the moonlight was hazy, with occasional chirping of insects. The servants in the Jiedushi's house were already asleep. Only a few lights remained, and everything was quiet. However, they were unaware that the house was surrounded by people.
Surrounding the house was a group of soldiers, several hundred strong, who were dispatched by Yu Xuanji...
