"There are two groups, and one has not been identified yet."
"Why are you working so slowly?" Ye Rongqing said, "So many days have passed, and still nothing has been found. There are only a few families that have conflicts with us. Send more people and keep a close watch on the heads of these families. Aren’t you afraid you won’t find anything out?"
"Yes, Third Master, your criticism is noted."
Ye Haoyang patted Qingqing on the shoulder, signaling him to be quiet.
"Are you saying that one of the groups has been identified?" Ye Haoyang asked, "Who are they, daring to be so bold?"
"Second Master, the other group is the people of the Hundred Snakes Gang on White Stripe Mountain outside the city. When the subordinates arrived, those people were surrounding Miss Li."
"White Stripe Mountain? What kind of na is that?" Ye Rongqing pinched his nose and said, "Why are there martial arts factions outside the prefecture? And it’s an unheard-of faction?"
He rembered the martial arts factions of Great Zhou were all docunted by the governnt, and these factions generally weren’t near the common folk.
Usually, they were either in frontier cities or deep in the mountains and forests, none like this near the prefecture.
"The Hundred Snakes Gang is said to have been established in recent years. It’s only known that the head was originally from Liyang, but the rest of the people are unknown."
"Have these people caused any troubles?"
San shook his head, "These people actually follow the rules. They co down from the mountain about once a month, and each ti they co down it’s just to purchase daily necessities and won. People from nearby villages and the city have been notified, so usually, people don’t show up near that mountain, and they don’t bother the nearby villagers."
"What about the rchants coming and going? Have they intercepted any?"
"No, they haven’t," San said, "The subordinates have checked the governnt records and there have been no reports of missing rchants in recent years."
Ye Rongqing said, "Second Brother, this Hundred Snakes Gang seems a bit odd. They stay on the mountain all the ti, for years, and each ti they co down only to buy things without interacting with others. So the question is, where do they get the money to support so many people living well for years?"
Ye Haoyang also nodded, "Investigate this gang thoroughly."
"Yes, I will handle it imdiately."
Li Luru had just woken up, looking at her tongue in the mirror. She’s been applying dicine for several days and hasn’t felt any better. When she opened her mouth, she could only mumble.
"Creak..."
Li Luru put down the mirror and just stepped out of the room, bumping into a warm embrace with a faint scent.
Many tis it seems only separation can make one realize longing, and Ye Haoxuan felt exactly that.
He released her after a long while, tenderly saying, "Silly girl, how did you make yourself so ssy?"
Li Luru helplessly tugged at the corner of her mouth. Who else to bla for her state?
Seeing her eyes filled with anger, Ye Haoxuan suddenly laughed.
"I was worried you would fall into despair from now on, but seeing you’re still able to get angry, now I’m relieved."
Li Luru suddenly kicked him in annoyance. If she couldn’t even get angry, wouldn’t she beco a fool?
All because of this person, not knowing who he offended, making her so unlucky.
After thinking for a mont, she kicked him two more tis.
Ye Haoxuan didn’t dodge, letting her vent. When she finally stopped, he held her shoulders with both hands, "Rest assured, I will avenge you. The ones who hurt you, I will personally send them to heaven."
Li Luru blinked her eyes.
