The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

"The population of this old city is not a small number. If we send people over to investigate, I'm afraid we won't be able to rest for a month."

The prefect of Jingzhao looked at Master Xu's expression and could not help but snort coldly.

"Idiot, do you want to work without rest for a month, or do you want to keep this thorn in the old city stuck there for the rest of your life?"

Master Xu opened his mouth, but was unable to answer for a moment.

"Master Xu, I have worked with you for quite some time, and we can be considered old friends. Now, while I still have the ability, I will help you resolve this matter, so that your future will be easier."

Hearing the earnest words from the Jingzhao prefect, Master Xu was moved.

"grown ups……"

The Jingzhao prefect raised his hand and said, "Alright, stop showing that expression. Getting this done is more important than anything else."

Master Xu nodded. If they could handle the old city area well, it would not only be an achievement for the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, but also his achievement.

"We must not only do this, but also do it well. Only if we do it well, we can accept it calmly when the higher-ups know about it in the future. Otherwise, if this matter becomes a commotion and the higher-ups investigate, it will be our responsibility."

The prefect of Jingzhao and Mr. Xu knew very well that if the higher-ups investigated, they would be held accountable.

"Okay, go make the arrangements. If there are not enough people, I will personally take charge of this matter."

Master Xu was shocked and was about to say something to persuade him, but when he saw the look on Jingzhao Prefecture's face, he swallowed his words of persuasion.

He also realized that the prefect of Jingzhao was determined to deal with the affairs in the old city.

……

After Gu Nanyuan helped Lin Ruoxuan into the carriage, he noticed that her face was full of fatigue.

"What? Tired?"

Lin Ruoxuan nodded. "I thought that after we solved the problem between Liu and Zhang Qiu today, we could have a good rest. I didn't expect something like this to happen again."

Lin Ruoxuan really didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to be so impatient.

In fact, when she learned that Lin Ruoxi did not return home, she had a vague guess of where Lin Ruoxi was going. But she did not expect that something like this would happen...

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but sigh.

Gu Nanyuan saw the worry and fatigue on her face, and felt very distressed, so he pulled her into his arms.

"If you are tired, just take a rest. I am here for you."

With Gu Nanyuan by her side, Lin Ruoxuan did feel much more at ease.

He nodded without saying anything more. He originally just wanted to close his eyes and pretend to take a nap, but he didn't expect that he actually fell asleep.

Feeling a little heavier on his shoulder, Gu Nanyuan knew that she had fallen asleep.

He put the cloak from the carriage on her and hugged her tighter.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Lin family, the servant wanted to step forward to help, but was rejected by Gu Nanyuan.

Since Lin Ruoxuan now lives in the front yard, it is convenient for Gu Nanyuan to go to her yard.

The servants of the Lin family all knew Gu Nanyuan, and they also knew that Gu Nanyuan and Lin Ruoxuan were close, and that he had a good relationship with the Lin family.

When he first saw Gu Nanyuan carrying Lin Ruoxuan back, he thought something had happened to Lin Ruoxuan. He was about to send someone in to report, but was stopped by the people around Gu Nanyuan.

Knowing that Lin Ruoxuan fell asleep just because it was too late and she was tired after a day of work, the Lin family's servant felt relieved and let Gu Nanyuan carry her back to the yard.

Hongya, who was waiting anxiously in the yard, was also shocked when she saw Gu Nanyuan coming back carrying Lin Ruoxuan.

"General Gu, our young lady..."

"Xuan'er is fine, she's just tired. Ask someone to make up the bed."

Hongya didn't dare to delay and quickly asked Luqiao to pack up.

After putting the person on the bed and tucking in the quilt for Lin Ruoxuan, Gu Nanyuan, Hong Ya and the others tiptoed out of the room.

"Hongya, go and find out if the seventh girl is back?"

It’s getting late, and I wonder how Song Zhennan and Lin Ruoqiao are doing.

Hong Ya nodded, but seeing the dark circles under Gu Nanyuan's eyes, she couldn't help but advise, "General Gu, I've had someone clean up the side room for you, why don't you go and rest first?"

Gu Nanyuan shook his head. "It's okay. I'll just wait here."

Seeing that he insisted, Hongya did not continue to persuade him, but sent someone to inquire about Lin Ruoqiao's situation.

At this time, Lin Ruoqiao and Song Zhennan had just been kicked out of the house by their family. The two looked at the door that was closed again, and were speechless for a moment.

In fact, they had encountered this situation more than once today. Whenever they told their intentions, they would be driven out. Some people with bad tempers even wanted to hit them.

But later they were stopped by someone, which saved them from the risk of being beaten.

"Let's go and have a look at the next one."

Song Zhennan looked at Lin Ruoqiao's lost expression and tried to persuade her.

Lin Ruoqiao sighed. Although she felt disappointed, she could only continue looking for someone.

This time, Song Zhennan didn't wait for Lin Ruoqiao to take action, but went forward and knocked on the door himself.

When the doorman saw Song Zhennan, he was a little confused for a moment.

"Sir, it's getting late today. If you have something to do, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Song Zhennan said quickly: "I want to find your young lady."

The doorman had a relatively gentle expression at first, but when he heard Song Zhenan's words, his face suddenly darkened.

"I thought you were a polite person because you looked so noble, but I didn't expect you to be a pervert! Get out of here now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

The doorman didn't expect to encounter such a thing in the middle of the night, and his face changed with anger.

Their young lady is an innocent girl, but she was visited by a lecher in the middle of the night. It's really abominable!

Song Zhennan was suddenly yelled at and was also startled. Seeing the fierce look of the doorman, he subconsciously took two steps back.

"My dear, you misunderstood. I came to see your young lady for something important..."

"Someone, come and catch the scoundrel and the flower thief!"

Song Zhennan's eyes widened when he heard the doorman's roar. He never thought that he would cause trouble just by knocking on the door.

"Humph, you ungrateful thing, I told you to get out of here a long time ago, but not only did you not leave, you even dared to cause trouble. I think you are tired of living!"

The doorman no longer hid behind the door this time, but opened it, and behind him came out a group of servants.

All these people rushed out and surrounded Song Zhennan and Lin Ruoqiao.

"Wang Liu, go report to the police! I want to see how this scoundrel plans to harm others next!"

Song Zhennan watched Wang Liu glare at him fiercely, and actually turned around to report to the police. He was so scared that he hurriedly wanted to step forward to stop him.

"Alas, I am not a pervert, nor a thief, you have misunderstood..."
