Their souls did not change last night.

Shao Si Ming, who had just washed up, didn't seem very energetic, maybe he didn't sleep all night.

"I'm going into town."

Chen Mu helped Shao Siming comb his hair for a while with a wooden comb.

Looking at the elegant and noble little beauty in the mirror, he said softly, "I guess I can return today. You must be careful at home. This place is just like what I said at the beginning, it is very unsafe."

Shao Siming held the man's hand instead, but after thinking about it, he let go, and nodded slightly to indicate that he would be careful.

After breakfast, Chen Mu left Destiny Valley again.

This time he did not pretend, but directly entered Fenghua City with his true identity, preparing to visit the magistrate Deng Wensheng.

Before visiting, Chen Mu first went to Hades stationed in Fenghua City.

I plan to see if I can get some reinforcements if necessary.

It's a pity that after Chen Mu entered the house of Hades, the other party learned that he was the new Lord. Although he looked respectful, Chen Mu could still feel that these Hades had also been 'controlled'.

Helplessly, Chen Mu politely rejected the other party's suggestion to send guards to 'protect', and went directly to the prefect's residence.

When he came to the old ruined courtyard again, Chen Mu still couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

Sometimes being an official is really tiring.

Especially when you have the goal of fame and fortune, it will be more uncomfortable and hard work than others.

"Your Majesty Deng Wensheng, I pay my respects to your lord."

Perhaps someone had notified him long ago. When Chen Mu entered the small courtyard, Deng Wensheng had already put on his washed and faded old official uniform and waited.

After seeing Chen Mu, he did not bow down, but simply saluted.

His gaze was also indifferent, but accompanied by a hint of disgust.

In any case, although Chen Mu repeatedly solved major cases and won the favor of the Queen Mother, Deng Wensheng's corresponding attitude was contemptuous because of his temperament as the envoy of Suzaku.

If he hadn't taken into account the status of the Sir, Chen Mu might have been kicked out long ago.

Chen Mu looked at the resolute and indifferent face of the other party, and said with a smile: "Master Deng has never seen me before, so he can recognize me directly?"

Deng Wensheng's answer was very straightforward and honest: "There are hidden spies in the city, but if anyone comes, we will know in advance. So as not to be chewed by some caring people..."

This 'careful person' is nothing more than a reflection of someone like Chen Mu.

It means that if the hospitality is not complete, you will find fault.

Chen Mu pretended not to understand, the smile on his face remained undiminished, he looked at the dimly lit room with emotion and wonder at the same time.

"It's incredible."

Chen Mu shook his head and sighed. "It's said in the capital that Mr. Deng is extremely simple and innocent, and that he is the number one handsome official of the Yan Dynasty. I didn't believe it at first, but now the Marquis has no choice but to believe it.

In the Great Yan Dynasty or the entire world, it is very difficult for you to find a second person who is as diligent and thrifty as Mr. Deng, a worthy role model.

It is a blessing for the people of Fenghua City to have such a good official as Mr. Deng. "

Seventy percent of Chen Mu's flattery was sincere.

Although I hate the opponent's obstinate pursuit of fame and fortune, I still admire the opponent's style fundamentally.

In the face of Chen Mu's flattery, Deng Wensheng looked indifferent, with a calm expression:

"Master Hou is overrated. There are still many officials in Dayan who are more capable and innocent than me. Deng is just trying to be a parent official."

Before Chen Mu could speak again, he took the lead to ask, "I don't know what the Lord Hou is talking about when he came to the lower official's house?"

"Oh, I'm here to find my wife." Chen Mu said.

Deng Wensheng said indifferently: "Your Madam has already gone to the Valley of Destiny, you can go there to find her."

"People are missing."

Chen Mu sat on the creaking chair and smiled wryly. "I have already been to the Valley of Destiny, but unfortunately my wife and the others did not go to the island, but disappeared halfway. So now I can only ask Mr. Deng for help."

Deng Wensheng raised his head and saw Chen Mu staring at him with a half-smile, and frowned, his tone was indifferent and without any emotion:

"Then I will disappoint Master Chen. I'm busy with official business, and I'm afraid I don't have time to help Lord Hou find a wife. Master Chen should take someone to look for it himself. I hope to find your wife as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and put on a gesture of seeing off the guests: "Master Hou, please."

Chen Murao stared at the other party with interest, feeling a little annoyed while lamenting the other party's courage.

Anyway, Bai Xianyu is also one of the four envoys of Hades.

Such an important official is missing, as a local official, he should send someone to notify the court as soon as possible and conduct a search and rescue.

But judging from Deng Wensheng's actions, whether to save people is entirely based on personal likes and dislikes.

He hates Mingwei, and as a Qingliu school, Bai Xianyu's disappearance makes him even happier, and it is impossible to save people.

"For so many years, Mr. Deng moved here, lived a poor life, and dedicated himself to the people."

Chen Mu said lightly. "But I want to know if you have fulfilled your responsibilities as a father. Apart from office work, you seldom go to the government office to work. Are you afraid of seeing your daughter?"

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Deng Wensheng stabbed Chen Mu with his eyes like a sharp sword.

"Where is my wife?"

Chen Mu asked again, his eyes dim. "Tell me, I will let you go and redeem your daughter."

Chapter 584 Something Happened!

Chen Mu's words seemed to be covered with frost, which lowered the temperature in the hut by a few degrees, and the atmosphere froze.

"Atonement?"

Deng Wensheng's deep eyes were extremely cold. "I don't know what Master Chen is talking about, but the officials don't understand."

Chen Mu said in a peaceful tone: "I saw your daughter in front of the government office, she asked me to return a doll for her, and said that if she didn't return it, her father would scold her..."

Deng Wensheng listened quietly, without any expression on his face.

But the fist hidden in the sleeve was slightly clenched.

"So I told her that you were already dead, and you were beaten to death by your own father. But she didn't believe it, because it was impossible for her most revered father to kill her..."
