At dusk, the afterglow shines on the courtyard of the county government, reflecting a golden color.

The yamen runners sent by Wang Liang returned in a hurry, with fatigue and a hint of helplessness on their faces.

"Sir, we went to Wang Fengli's hometown. After careful investigation, we found that Liu Long was dead." The yamen runners respectfully reported to Wang Liang.

Wang Liang frowned, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"I know this county."

Since that's the case, there is no need for Wang Fengli and Erzhuzi to stay here.

Wang Liang then sent someone to bring them over, and then gave them a reward, asking them to go home.

The two left happily. As for whether Liu Long died or lived, they didn't have much relationship with them.

They just need to get rewards.

They walked together on the road.

After returning home, Wang Fengli told the old woman that she had indeed made money.

"Old man, are you saying true?"

"Of course, what I said is true, isn't this here?"

Wang Fengli took out a lot of money from his cuffs and placed it on the table. The old woman was filled with joy.

Wang Liang came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again.

"Prime Minister, the yamen runners sent by their subordinates have returned. They have found out that Liu Long is indeed dead."

Xi Yu sat quietly on the chair, tapping his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something.

"Will Liu Long's death be a plan? Let's escape from the shell?" This question arose in Xi Yu's heart.

Xi Yu's eyes flashed, and he was thinking about the possibility of Liu Long's death.

However, there is currently no conclusive evidence that this is a strategy.

Wang Liang looked at Xi Yu's thoughtful look and asked softly: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Xi Yu raised his head, looked at Wang Liang, and said slowly: "There is no evidence yet, so let's put this matter on hold for the time being. Maybe we are just too worried."

Wang Liang nodded.

"Well, let this matter come to an end. Wang Liang, you should also step down."

Wang Liang retreated in response, and the room returned to tranquility.

Jia Mansion.

In the living room, Mrs. Jia sat on the bench, frowned, and a hint of worry was revealed in her eyes.

She suddenly felt that things were not simple, and her husband's disappearance might have nothing to do with Xi Yu.

In the first few days, she was very excited and knew that her husband was still alive.

Xi Yu will definitely make arrangements for his husband.

At that time, I will contact myself through various channels.

But a few days later, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

She decided to call the butler over and ask about the situation.

"Come on, hurry up and call the housekeeper." She ordered the maids around her.

A few little maids quickly went to call the butler.

When the housekeeper learned that the wife called her, he didn't know what was going on.

"Do you guys know what's wrong with the wife calling me?"

"We don't know, so please ask the butler to go quickly." A little maid replied.

The butler nodded and soon came to Mrs. Jia's side.

Mrs. Jia asked all the maids to retreat.

"Madam, I don't know what you have."

"I suddenly felt that my husband's affairs might have nothing to do with the prime minister. He should have been rescued by others."

But Mrs. Jia also said that if this is the case, I really don’t know who rescued it.

"Butler, what do you think of this matter?"

The housekeeper stood aside and replied respectfully: "Madam, I don't know anything about this."

Mrs. Jia sighed slightly, clasped her hands tightly, and continued, "The butler, what's your idea?"

The butler lowered his head and thought for a moment, but sighed because he was also helpless.

Mrs. Jia's mood became heavier.

She looked out the window and prayed silently in her heart that she could find her husband's whereabouts as soon as possible.

After a while, the butler finally remembered an idea, but he didn't know if it was appropriate.

"Butler, just say anything if you have something to say."

The housekeeper said he could buy a few yamen runners to see if he could get some clues.

Mrs. Jia thought about it and it was a good idea.

So I asked the butler to do this quickly.

The butler quickly arrived at the county government office.

Because of the dusk plan, a few yamen runners were going home.

Sure enough, at dusk, several yamen runners left the county yamen and prepared to go home.

The butler immediately appeared beside them and introduced his identity.

"You are the butler of the Jia family. Do you have anything to come to us?"

"You have worked hard and made great contributions to my master's affairs recently, so I invite you to drink on behalf of my wife. I wonder if you are free?"

A yamen runner immediately said, "We don't know where your master is. And your master committed a death sentence. Why do you want to invite us to drink?"

The housekeeper continued to convince several people with his three-inch tongue.

Several yamen runners looked at each other, and there were advantages to take anyway, so why not be happy?

"Okay, since that's the case, then the housekeeper will lead the way."

Everyone was full of joy, so they brought a few yamen runners to a restaurant.

Gradually, he became familiar with several yamen runners.

He also began to get further into the topic.

A few yamen runners told him that Jia Xu’s current situation really had nothing to do with Xi Yu.

Based on the recent series of situations, it was discovered that Xi Yu was not acting in a situation.

The butler sighed, it must be too troublesome to say so.

Because I don’t know where Jia Xu is, so who saved the master?

What is the purpose?

"But, don't think that if you invite us to drink, we will face you. If one day you find out where your master is, you must tell us and accept legal sanctions."

"Yes, yes, you're right."

The housekeeper just smiled dryly, naturally disdainful in his heart.

How could I betray the master?

Next, a few people stopped talking about the important matters, but started talking about it from all over the world.

Until the bargain broke out, several yamen runners were shaking.

On the next day, several yamen runners came to the county yamen. They remembered what happened last night and began to worry.

"Will the county magistrate know about us having a drink together last night?"

"Yes, if the county magistrate knows, will we punish us?"

"What are you afraid of? So what if the county magistrate finds out? We didn't do anything bad."

"We didn't do anything bad, but now we are in contact with the Jia family butler, can this be a good thing?"

"Forget it, don't think so much. If the county magistrate really knows, let's talk about it."

In Wenliang's simple home, in a small room.

Jia Xu lay on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.

But his eyes were confused, his expression was stupid, he cried from time to time, and occasionally muttered to himself like a child.

Fang stood beside the bed, looking at Jia Xu's appearance, frowned, and said with a complaint in his tone: "Look at you, what should I do if I get such a fool back?"
