Chapter 324 - Do You Believe In Those Rumors? (1/2)

Rong Qiu seemed to be honest in his eyes, but he knew that he couldn't trust him easily --- he still needed to send someone to check on this matter. Besides, he didn't think that Uncle Qiu was a capable person. What kind of capable person would be willing to guard a horse? In his mind, Uncle Qiu was just a useless official who was demoted by the Han Emperor.

Bai Bing Wen asked curiously, ”So... do you believe in those rumors?” He wanted to know what inside Uncle Qiu's mind was.

Rong Qiu pretended to be weak and afraid in front of Bai Bing Wen. He answered with a stutter, ”No... of course not!” He widened his eyes, trying to look as innocent as possible.

Even if he really felt suspicious of him, he wouldn't say it out loud in front of his face ah~! Rong Qiu started to realize that acting as a weak person was quite annoying... and tiring.

Bai Bing Wen squinted his eyes at Uncle Qiu without saying anything, feeling that the latter was indeed a coward and he didn't need to care about him. He looked at Uncle Qiu in contempt and merely said, ”Good!”

Bai Bing Wen hated this type of weak person the most! He didn't want to ȧssociate himself with Uncle Qiu any further after this matter passed. What if he knew that this person was actually the father of the woman that he wanted? He probably would vomit blood ah~!

Bai Bing Wen sighed in relief...

At least, the person in charge didn't believe in that baseless rumor. He had heard about the new person-in-charge that would be sent by the Han Emperor --- as long as Uncle Qiu denied Bai Bing Wen's involvement in this matter and relayed it to the next person-in-charge, then it should be fine.

He didn't calculate whether Rong Qiu and Hong Wen's relationship was good or not, after all, he wasn't from this kingdom. Bai Bing Wen wouldn't have known the complicated relationship between the officials clearly because of that.

After that Bai Bing Wen bade his goodbye and decided to go back to his own place. Rong Qiu smirked inwardly --- he hoped that his image would be enough to make himself look unreliable and annoying in Bai Bing Wen's eyes so that he would forget about him when he went away from here.

Once Hong Wen arrived with the decree, it would be time for him to go and he would let the guards continue fanning the flames... He wondered what Bai Bing Wen would do when he realized that he was in deep shit! When he thought of this, Rong Qiu felt better after being insulted by the arrogant man.

Rong Qiu continued to do his job dutifully and decided to pay that esteemed guest no mind. They wouldn't meet again anyway...

Bai Bing Wen sat leisurely on his luohan bed. He thought for a little while before asking his right-hand man, ”Do you think that there is something fishy with Uncle Qiu?”

The right-hand man was quite surprised by his master's question. ”I don't think so. Why, Master? Is there something wrong with him?” What Uncle Qiu said was quite logical and his anger was justified --- each of his response was appropriate in his eyes. He didn't understand why his master kept doubting Uncle Qiu just now and he could see that his master kept contradicting the latter.

Bai Bing Wen felt that nothing was out of place, however, he felt that his gut feeling kept saying that something wasn't really right. But, what? Bai Bing Wen ordered, ”Pay more attention to Uncle Qiu's movement for the time being. Report to me if you feel that something isn't right.”

His right-hand man could only nod his head, even though he disagreed inwardly. ”I will ȧssign people to spy on him as soon as possible.”

Bai Bing Wen nodded his head in agreement before deciding to take a nap.
