C7 (1/2)

Seeing the Zhu siblings disappear into the horizon, Wen Zheng sighed lightly. He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and instructed the servants to return to the back hall alone to gnaw on the chicken leg.

Seeing Wen Zheng acting out of the ordinary today, Ruyu frowned slightly, a strange feeling rising in her heart.

Since the lord had already said that there was nothing left to do, all the servants went back to bed one by one. The Wen Mansion also entered into the quiet of the night, the night was quiet without any events. At the first light of dawn, a black shadow quietly walked towards the backyard of the Wen family, sneaking around as if he had just finished his love affair.

After slowly opening the Wen Mansion's back door, he looked around to see that there was no one there. Then, he sneaked out of the Wen Mansion's back door and ran towards Cao Zhou Province's yamen.

Wen Zheng slept soundly today. He was satisfied because he saw her once again. Although it was just a short while, Wen Zheng was already satisfied. Countless faces appeared in his dreams, but they belonged to the same person. He felt that something was wrong, but unfortunately, he did not know what it was. He thought to himself that he had to find the Demon Soul Orb quickly, otherwise, with only the strength of a mortal, it would be a funny dream to resist against God.

When he opened the door, he saw that Black Bear was hinting at a group of officials. The curses he had heard earlier were coming from Black Bear, and those small government officials knew the strength of the Wen Mansion. They could only smile obsequiously.

”Hei Zi, don't be so rude. What's going on? Why didn't you go and capture the Soaring Sky couple?” Wen Zheng said as he walked.

Seeing Wen Zheng come out, the head shop owner cupped his fists and said, ”Second Young Master, someone reported that you secretly released the Soaring Sky couple last night. Prefect asked me to invite you over to say a few words.”

Wen Zheng froze when he heard this. Who leaked the news? Yesterday, those servants were Wen Zheng's trusted aides. After thinking about the people from yesterday once, he felt that there was nothing to doubt. He shook his head and thought to himself that he should leave him alone and go to the magistrate court first. Just as he was about to follow the group of people towards the door, Housekeeper Liu walked in. When he saw all of them, he was slightly startled, a look of panic appearing on his face and then disappearing. He thought to himself: ”Why did he leave so late? I even took a walk around the east side of the city. ”

When Wen Zheng saw the butler, he immediately understood what was going on. He asked without any trace on his face, ”Old butler, where did you go so early in the morning?”

Hearing Wen Zheng's sudden question, the steward could not react in time. ”Er, I, I'll go to the east of the city to meet a friend.” After he finished speaking, he hurriedly walked into the courtyard.

With a sneer in his heart, he ignored him and decided to deal with this gluttonous servant when he returned. He walked towards the door in large strides. What Wen Zheng did not know was that the next time he came back to this house, everything had changed.

On the main street of Cao Zhou, Wen was following the constables towards the government office. The commoners were curious, and some busybodies even followed them boldly.

A man wearing an embroidered robe and a jade belt walked out from the inner hall. His small eyes were flashing with a cold light, and upon seeing that the person who had arrived was not the Prefect of Cao Zhou, Wen Zheng was slightly surprised. Feeling that the person who had just arrived was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze, Wen Zheng just stood there blankly, not knowing if it was a blessing or a disaster.

”How audacious. Seeing This King not kneeling, could it be that you want to rebel?” The man opened his mouth and placed a big hat on Wen Zheng.
