Chapter 79: Involved as Expected (II)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Fang Hui exclaimed before he was taken away. “Mr. Xu, you must believe my master, he has a few words for you!”
The Shadow Guards frowned and kicked him to shut him up and Fang did so after a short mumble.
In the inner hall, Xu surly heard the exclaim and was shocked. Shi padded his shoulder and said, “Don’t rush, don’t believe anyone as the situation was still a mess currently or else you may suffer.”
“But...” Xu groaned, “Fang has always been silent and reliable, Fang Shuoyang trusted him a lot...”
Shi shook his head. “In my opinion, this Fang is not someone easy to deal with. Since he is now in our hands, he won’t die, so you don’t have to worry about that. We won’t set him up if we find him innocent. But if he is not, we won’t let him go easily. Does this sound good to you now?”
Xu took a deep breath and said calmly, “Big brother Shi, you are right. I was too simple-minded before. I know you and big brother have been taking care of me, you guys won’t set me up. I am done with the business of Fang, but, please keep me informed of anything you know about Tianyin post, will you?”
“Yes.” Shi nodded happily. “Xu You, I am so glad you would think that way, your big brother is afraid that you may suffere great loss since you don’t have enough social expereince.”
“I know.” Xu nodded, “I have 100 percent trust on big brother.”
Long heard this the moment he came in; he raised his eyebrow and said, “Well, really, I thought you would hate me for stopping you from meeting up with your beloved one!”
Xu became speechless immediately. “Big brother! What are you talking about!”
Long burst out into laughter. “Okay, just kidding.”
Xu rolled his eyes and worried, “I really have no idea about what happened in Tianyin post...”
Long said, “We failed to get anything out from the previous Men of Sacrifice, but this Fang Hui may know a lot about that. Don’t worry, we now have him in our hands; the worst is that he remains silent.”
Xu nodded, “Well, big brother, now I will leave the business of Fang to you.”
“Okay, let me know if there’s anything new, I am leaving now.”
“Be vigilant yourself, don’t be fooled again.” Long said.
Xu found it annoying. “Big brother, I am not a kid anymore, don’t worry.”
Long saw Xu off and then turned to Shi. “Do you find Fang strange?”
Shi nodded. “It is now for sure that someone from Tianyin post wants Xu to die, Zhou Yu’er is the most suspicious one. The Shadow Guards gathered the information on Zhou’s mother-in-law last night and found out Zhou’s elder brother and father were both in and Xu might be the last person to know the whole thing about the taking of Tianyin post. Now the whole situation of Tianyin post is not clear, we can’t trust anyone. Xu will be made use of very easily since he is so naive.”
“It’s a pity that we have so many things to do at hand, or else I could take you to experience the disputes and conflicts in the world personally, actually, that should be very interesting.”
Shi became speechless for a moment. “Interesting?”
“Yeah.” Long smiled. “This should be more interesting than court affairs. It’s all about killing and fighting, although you still need to use your brain, but overall, it should be easier than what you are doing now, especially when your flying skills are so good, you should feel more comfortable in the outside world, right?”
Shi raised his eyebrows after hearing this. “Really?”
Long rested his jaw on Shi’s shoulder.
“Yeah, I would wish to have a better time in the outside world with you.”
Shi smiled and said. “We will have a chance someday.”
“Oh yeah?” Long’s eyes lit up.
Shi smiled. “well... it’s just odd that people from outside are unable to know the situation inside the Tianyin post. Although it is very mysterious, it is obviously abnormal if nothing can be found. Tianyin post is located in the east... hopefully it’s not me overthinking.”
Long halted for a while, “East... are you worrying that the Eastern Darkness empire is involved in this?”
Shi shook his head slowly, “The Eastern Darkness should never intervene in our business, right? What I am worried about is the people in our country...” Long went into silence.
Shi sighed quietly. “Zhou Yu’er’s father Zhou Hengliang is someone who is ambitious but simple-minded. It is natural that this type of person is used by others. Besides, Zhou Hengliang’s son’s personality is even weaker than his father’s. I literally couldn’t believe that people like them could train some Men of Sacrifice out like that.”
Long frowned, “Looks like we really need to have some investigation on the Zhou family.”
Shi nodded. “I have asked someone to do this... but we won’t have the result of anything more specific very soon.”
“Aye...” Long took a big sigh, “Never mind, we will see what we can get out from Fang’s side.”
Shi nodded. “Okay...”
This afternoon, the nanny took the little prince over.
The kid overate in lunch and always wanted to sleep.
After fiddling around with the kid, Long and Shi let him go back to sleep.
Shi Qingzhou got a letter from Shi Qingshan just as the little prince left.
However, the incident of First Wangyeh didn’t happen long ago. Even though this was an emergency, Shi Qingshan’s letter should never arrive so soon.
But what’s important was that this was a letter from Qingshan to Qingzhou!
If this was really a reply to the letter Shi Qingzhou wrote, then it should have beenwritten to Long anyway!
Long was slow to react at first, he didn’t think as much as Shi did, and said, “Wow, your dad wrote us back so soon? Let’s have a look.”
Shi paused and opened the letter afterwards and frowned after a short time.
“What happened?”
Long started to read the letter when he got it from Shi, and also froze after some reading. “Tianyin post?”
“We thought the horses will come from the East as the North would try to avoid this because it is a hot potato right now, but unexpectedly, the smuggling of horses still exists and 1000 horses at one smuggle, as to the buyer... is unbelievably Tianyin post.” Shi slowly read out the content of the letter and pouted angrily.
“Qingzhou, it turns out Tianyin post is really not clean.”
Shi paused and said slowly, “Looks like we did something right to detain Fang. We need to hurry the interrogation part. I want to do it on my own.”
Long paused and nodded finally. “Okay, be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I got this.” Shi said.
Long caressed Shi’s right hand and padded it. “Don’t get too tired.”
Shi smiled. “Hum, I won’t...”
