The burly man nodded, then shook his head.
"At first, I also felt that something was amiss, and I was afraid that the person was a spy from somewhere else, but after talking to him for a few minutes, I realized that the person was a spy from somewhere else."
Upon discovering that he possessed no internal energy, his steps were unsteady, and his eyes were filled with fear, he must be a servant from the Zhou household.
Since everyone saw that their leader thought there was no problem, then it must be true that everything was fine.
They've been on missions together for many years, and in many dangerous situations, besides relying on their excellent skills, they also depend on their leader's accurate intuition.
“In that case, I will take those pieces of evidence back to the capital,” the scholar-looking man decided.
The burly man nodded upon hearing this, "Alright, I'll go with you then, so we can look out for each other on the way."
While the Fourth Prince's subordinates prepared to return to the capital, Xu Jinhuan changed his appearance again and used his lightness skill to fly back to the Ghost Market in the city.
"Lord Earth God, is that you who has returned?" Third Master Lin asked in surprise, looking at the teacup that suddenly flew up in front of him and the tea that was quickly emptied.
Xu Jinhuan replied, "Yes, it's me. Did you find out anything from the interrogation?"
Master Lin scratched his head in annoyance and knelt down on the ground without hesitation. "Lord Earth God, please forgive me. It seems that someone among those people trained assassins."
Although we dislocated their jaws before waking them up, a few of them still managed to run into the wall and die when we weren't looking.
As for the other survivors, most of them didn't know the true identity of the person in charge. The few who did know a little only knew that the mastermind was from the capital.
Master Lin sighed as he said this, "It seems that only those who died know that person's true identity."
Xu Jinhuan didn't blame Third Master Lin, since she had already learned everything she needed to know from Zhou, the richest man.
However, we can't let him off easily, otherwise it would be a complete lack of organization and discipline.
"Lin Laosan, let's call this one off. But if you continue to act this way, the person in charge of this Ghost Market should be replaced," Xu Jinhuan said coldly.
Lin Laosan immediately kowtowed respectfully, "Yes, Lord Earth God, thank you for your magnanimity."
Xu Jinhuan said calmly, "Take those people from the prison back to the county government and hand them over to Magistrate Su. Also, I need to accumulate strength to return to my divine position. Unless something major happens, I will not deal with human affairs."
Just then, a familiar system announcement suddenly rang in Xu Jinhuan's mind.
[Ding ding, congratulations host, your faith value has increased, and a new feature has been successfully activated!]
Xu Jinhuan was taken aback when she heard this. There was actually a new function. She wanted to see what it was.
As she was thinking this, she opened the system and saw that the Faith Value page had changed.
Where there was originally only a single value, two cute little figures have appeared.
Both figures are miniature versions of Xu Jinhuan, sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, their bodies shimmering with a faint golden light.
Xu Jinhuan gently touched one of the small figures and discovered that in that instant, her soul seemed to split in two, one half inside her body and the other half going to the location of the figure.
She first released some of her spiritual energy to observe the situation around the figure, and was surprised to find that it was actually a slum in the capital.
The image she possessed was actually a crookedly carved wooden plaque, and on the table was a similarly dilapidated incense burner with many burnt incense sticks inside.
"May the benevolent god bless my mother and help her recover from her illness as soon as possible. I don't want to lose my only family member."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan looked down and saw a ragged little boy kowtowing to the wooden sign.
In the instant he sincerely kowtowed, she seemed to see the trajectory of this little boy's life over the course of a year.
The story revolves around a middle-aged man who lost his mother, was kidnapped by bad guys, sold to a brothel, was beaten while trying to escape, and ended up with a tattered straw mat rolled up in the final scene.
