C147 Night Visitation at County Governor Manor

The most alluring aspect of the night was the moonlight. The moonlight could only seduce people because of its gentleness and brilliance, making the darkness of the night seem more like a hazy and beautiful scenery. It was a different feeling from the day. At this time, it was the perfect time for them to meet after dusk.

At this moment, a man and a woman were meeting under a willow tree.

"You're here?" A man's voice sounded.

"Yes, I'm here!" the woman replied.

"Are you ready?" The man smiled playfully as he asked the woman.

"Ready! We can start anytime!" The woman's face slightly blushed as she replied with a nod.

"Un, then let's begin!" The man said loudly.

Do not misunderstand, this is not a field battle, and that man is not even at the age of a field battle yet, because he is only five years old this year.

That's right, the man was Gongsun Ze Tian and the woman was Qiong Yu. These few days, Qiong Yu had entered the Fengyang County under the arrangements of Gongsun Ze Tian. Furthermore, with the help of the people that Qiu Canghai had sent over, he had carried out a tracking investigation of the Fengyang County who was guarding Wu Daode, to the point that he had obtained a portion of the information.

Tonight, Qiong Yu had come to receive a message from Gongsun Ze Tian, inviting her to come here tonight. Her goal was to bring Gongsun Ze Tian to check out the estate that belonged to that county governor.

"His name is Wu Daode?" Gongsun Ztian asked playfully.

"That's right!" Qiong Yu bowed as she replied.

"Haha, this name is really not for nothing. Very good, very powerful!" Gongsun Ztian laughed out loud. In his heart, he admired this person's father a lot. To think that he could come up with such a name, he was worthy of praise.

"Young Master, where should we go first?" Qiong Yu asked.

"Let's head to County Governor Manor first!" Gongsun Ztian thought for a moment before deciding.

"Why?" Qiong Yu asked. From her point of view, there were many places that were worth investigating, and her purpose for coming here in advance was to investigate ahead of time.

What she wanted to investigate was Wu Daode's greedy Qian Yin and the unsold relief supplies, as well as information about the various shops and stores that did not hear much about them.

"Think about it, where do you think money is safest for such a greedy person?" Gongsun Ztian asked with a smile.

"By his side?" Qiong Yu still could not confirm his answer, but he still unconsciously asked with an inquiring tone.

"That's right!" That's right, do you know when he will be leaving Fengyang County? " Gongsun Ztian recalled what his mother had told him before. The county governor had been removed from his official position and was about to leave the Fengyang County.

"At the latest, at the end of this month, we have to wait for the person who will come to meet with him!" Qiong Yu immediately answered, she needed to investigate all the relevant information. She didn't want to give the person in front of her the impression that she was trash.

"Mm, very good. There are only a dozen or so days left. It would be best to finish him off before the next county governor arrives. " Gongsun Ztian was very impressed. The orders he gave were just to investigate some materials and where the money was kept, but he never said he wanted to find out about these things.

It was not that Gongsun Ztian deliberately made things difficult for others by asking questions that he had never instructed before. However, for an outstanding talent, they would consider matters that others could not consider. Otherwise, how could they differentiate between talent and trash?

"Yes, young master!" Qiong Yu bowed as she replied. She could hear the praise Gongsun Ze Tian was giving her, making her feel overjoyed.

According to his age, Qiong Yu could be considered to be Gongsun Ze Tian's elder. However, when Qiong Yu faced this child who was only five years old, he did not dare to treat him like a child at all.

And the feeling of Gongsun Ze Tian showing his might without anger made Qiong Yu sincerely submit to him, and be willing to listen to his commands. However, what she did not know was that, not only her, even Qiu Canghai and Huang Quan had a kind of indescribable respect for this young child. Although they would sometimes joke and grumble, if Gongsun Ze Tian was serious in explaining things, the two of them would not dare to neglect it in the slightest.

The conversation quickly ended, and then the two of them quickly disappeared into the darkness, as if they had never appeared.

Qiong Yu had originally wanted to rely on her lightweight technique to bring this newly acquired master forward, but just as she started, Qiong Yu was sent flying several meters away, and she had to use all her strength to barely catch up to her master.

When she looked at Gongsun Zaitian, she realized that he didn't even show a trace of struggle on his face, nor did she see any beads of sweat. This inevitably caused Qiong Yu to be extremely shocked. After all, the young master was far beyond his age, then wouldn't he have lived for twenty years for nothing?

"What kind of person are you?" Qiong Yu could not help but think of this in her heart, but she did not dare to relax her legs. She was worried that a single absent-minded move would cause Gongsun Ze Tian to fall far away.

"Focus!" Gongsun Ze Tian obviously noticed that Qiong Yu was distracted for a split-second, and so he opened his mouth to remind him.

"Yes sir!" Qiong Yu's face slightly blushed, after that she calmed his fluctuating mind, and chased after it with all her strength once again.

Not long after, the duo arrived near County Governor Manor. With a few stomps, they climbed up to the roof of the study.

"Young master, this subordinate has already investigated. There are two exits and an exit at the front and back doors of County Governor Manor. We are near the front and back doors. There are city guards guarding the front and back doors. Every hour and every shift." Within the prefecture, there are 17 attacks from hidden sentries and 9 attacks from mobile sentries. " Qiong Yu gave a simple introduction of the situation in County Governor Manor.

"Do you know where Wu Daode is?" Gongsun Ztian pondered for a moment before asking.

"This time should be in the study room. He would have to check his own accounts every day and count the 'spoils of war' he had gotten that day. All of this was done in the study room, and during this period of time, the study room is forbidden to anyone within a radius of thirty meters. All of the guards must be at least ten Zhang away! " Qiong Yu replied smoothly.

"Not bad, you have a good habit! Let's go take a look! " Gongsun Ze Tian laughed, then led Qiong Yu to the side and quickly disappeared into a dark alley.

Not long after, Gongsun Ze Tian and Qiong Yu had already dodged numerous sentries and mobile sentries, and smoothly arrived at Wu Daode's study.

"There are only a few days left. We still have a large amount of supplies that we haven't sold out. Hurry up. If you don't convert all the supplies into silver before the new county governor arrives, I'll turn you into silver!" A furious roar came from the room. This person was so unreasonable that he was obviously the county governor, Wu Daode.

"My lord, at this time, if we still wantonly sell supplies for disaster relief, and let the victims know about it, I'm afraid we'll get into trouble!" From the sound of it, he should belong to the category of a butler, an accountant, and others. However, he should be highly regarded by this County Governor Wu Daode.

"What does their life or death have to do with me? Let me tell you, you still have ten days. I want to exchange all the resources we have for silver taels in ten days." Think of a way yourself for the rest! " It was not that he did not want to care about it, but rather his intelligence was limited and he could not think of any good methods.

"Yes, Lord, this subordinate will do his best, but many large families and forces are going through here, if we sell it out, it will be very difficult to attract their attention. Once the imperial government finds out, even the Ninth Prince will not be able to help!" Wu Daode's subordinate reminded him.

"Then what do you think we should do? What about the other businesses that we have friendly relations with? " Wu Daode also thought about this matter, if it were not because of a sudden disaster, he would not have been reduced to such a state. In order to protect his life, he had promised to send most of his wealth to the Ninth Prince's residence as a form of filial piety. Although he lost his position in the end, he had at least kept his life.

When Wu Daode thought about all of the things that he had stored in the secret room, he realized that eighty percent of them were already in the name of the Ninth Prince. Although they had not been gifted to the Ninth Prince, they were no longer his treasures in name. This was wealth that he had painstakingly obtained, but he had so easily changed his surname.

"They can't eat these materials. Not to mention the channel of sale is not safe, even if the channel is safe, they still have a lot of supplies in their hands. I'm afraid this won't work!" That subordinate immediately denied it.

"Then tell me, what should we do?" Wu Daode roared.

"How about I personally make a trip to the surrounding cities to investigate? If it's feasible, we can send the materials to each city for sale. What do you think, my lord?" The subordinate thought for a moment before replying.

"Alright, let's do it! "You should go pack, and leave tomorrow morning. Remember to leave early and come back early, we only have ten days." Wu Daode pondered for a moment before agreeing. As long as it could be exchanged for silver, he did not care where the goods were sold to.

"Yes, my lord, your subordinate will take his leave!" The subordinate said.

A creaking sound was heard as the door was opened and closed. A man around fifty years old walked out of the study quickly.

Gongsun Zaitian gestured to Qiong Yu, who was standing by the side, for her to follow the old man. When Qiong Yu saw the gesture Gongsun Ze Tian gave him, she immediately understood. Her body flickered and disappeared from where she stood, chasing after the old man.

"What a pity, what a pity, in a few days the Ninth Prince will send someone to take away this silver, what a pity!" Wu Daode's regretful voice came out from the house.

Just as Gongsun Ze Tian wanted to faint Wu Daode, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance in the air. This fragrance was very familiar to Gongsun Ze Tian, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it before.

Then, Gongsun Ztian saw another figure on the other side of the rooftop, another figure that was as big as him appearing on the rooftop. Then, Gongsun Ztian saw another figure on the other side of the rooftop, another figure that was about the same size as him appearing on the rooftop.

"Who is this person?" A question arose in Gongsun Ze Tian's heart.
