36 Good or Bad (2/2)

It would have been easy for him to solve the matter in a short time but because the thing he came for was not something one could just half assedly investigate and because of the fact that one was a prime minister and along with it was plenty of works to carry on one's shoulder, Yu Jie Xing had to slow down the investigation process.

As of the moment, Xu Kun separated from Yu Xing Han's group to their journey in keeping watch over the eastern border and decided to stay in the capital to aide Yu Jie Xing.

Seeing that the man sitting across him seemed to be lost in his thought, Xu Kun became more curious who this 'acquaintance was. However, if he found out that the 'acquaintance' would be no one else but Jiao Yu whom he had met before, Xu Kun did not know if it could be considered as a good thing or a bad one.

”Yu Xing Han must have already told you about the matters we had dealt with during that flower hunting incident.” Xu Kun retracted his inquisitive look.

”Hm.”

Last time, Yu Jie Xing had told his big brother Yu Xing Han to look into a certain brothel where some gruesome things occurred and after everything was done, the occurence later became the Flower hunting incident where several people who have influence across the empire enjoyed torturing and hunting females as a past time.

And the brothel was also where the pair (Yu Xing Han and Xu Kun) had met Jiao Yu during her mission with Hua.

Speaking of Jiao Yu, the pair had not gone to the Liu residence to look and ask her some questions and Xu Kun was not able to retrace anything that could get Jiao Yu involve in it. Also her appearance in that brothel was still something they could not dig into as if one was just a part of a play but was forgotten because of the bigger matters overlapping her appearance.

Xu Kun asked, ”Anyway, have you already found out what the heaven's son was looking for?”

Yu Jie Xing shook his head and said, ”Not at the moment.”

”Won't they get impatient and blame you for that?”

”It has been three years already and they would not have waited for so long just to blame me after, when they can easily have done it after one had come back with nothing but little knowledge of what happened that time.”
