Li Xia's face was expressionless, Zhao Dajie was at odds with her brother's wife over dowry and other matters, and Hu Jia Lao San worked as a clerk in the Xian Si government office, his father-in-law being the head of the Hangzhou Prefecture government office. However, there was no record of this, and when she asked someone to investigate, they also found nothing. Was it that someone had covered up the truth or was she being deceived?

  Is it Jin Shu's words? Only he can thoroughly cover up this matter and deceive her to such an extent...

  Li Xia felt a mix of emotions in her heart, an indescribable discomfort.

  Now it seems that Father's wrongful conviction back then was not because of his foolishness, but... this case, I'm afraid it was aimed at Eldest Uncle... It wasn't that Father implicated Eldest Uncle, but rather Eldest Uncle implicated Father...

  Guo Sheng finished speaking and looked at Li Xia, holding his breath waiting for her response.

  Li Xia fell silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "Later you go to Hangzhou City and tell Fifth Master about the Five Gods' licentious sacrifice."

  "Yes!"

  "Speak clearly, Wu Ye's heart is broad and loyal, and he's a young man. Speak clearly about how to send the child, how did you discover this matter? Hurry over and tell him immediately. As for others, not a word was dared to be said. Tell Wu Ye to let him inform Wang Ye immediately, and then let him not bother with it anymore."

  Li Xia's voice was very low, one word at a time, slow and clear.

  "Yes!" Guo Sheng's eyes sparkled with starlight.

  Is Miss going to hand this case over to Wang Ye for Fifth Master or for Wang Ye himself?

  ………………

  At dawn the next day, Li Wenshan was summoned by Guo Sheng to the entrance of the academy. He directly and clearly told him about the evil cult in Xiguan Town that harmed women, and asked him to inform Wang Ye to handle it.

  Guo Sheng mounted his horse and left, leaving Li Wenshan standing at the gate of the academy in a daze. He stood there for about half a minute before coming back to himself, took a step back, turned around, and had only taken two steps when he tripped and fell to the ground. It was some time before he managed to scramble to his feet again.

  Such a thing is too frightening to hear, how can there be such a thing in the world? It's simply... simply...

  Li Wenshan got up, his chest was so tight that he almost burst, and he didn't enter the academy. He simply sat down on the steps at the entrance of the gate, waiting for Wang Ye here.

  They waited until the first bell rang in the academy, but Qin Wang and others were still nowhere to be seen. Li Wenshan stood up with a sigh, as usual, if they hadn't arrived by this time, Qin Wang and his group wouldn't come again today. Tomorrow... no way, he couldn't wait till tomorrow!

  Li Wenshan stood up and ran towards Mingtao Mountain Villa, waving his arms as he went.

  With this anger and resentment, Li Wenshan actually ran all the way to the entrance of Mingyuan Mountain Villa in one breath.

  Lu Yi received the report and rushed out to the mountain villa gate, looking at Li Wenshan who was running with his whole body sweating, his hat gone, his hair scattered, his face pale, panting and making sounds in his throat, his eyes wide with surprise, "What's going on?"

  Li Wenshan faced the mountain villa, sitting on a small stool in the gatehouse, "Big deal! I'm so angry, big deal!" Li Wenshan was so flustered that he couldn't catch his breath, and he grabbed Lu Yi's clothes, getting more and more speechless as he got angrier.

  "Someone, help Li Wu Ye inside." The doorway wasn't a place for conversation, so Lu Yi called over two young servants. Li Wen Shan was lifted up by the two servants, still speaking, "I want... to see Master Wang, must follow... Master Wang..."

  "Don't worry, take a deep breath first. Even if we're late, it's not like it's the end of the world at this moment. I'll take you to see Master Wang right away." Lu Yi repeatedly comforted Li Wenshan.

  Lu Yi led the way, with two young servants carrying Li Wenshan, walking very quickly, and soon entered the courtyard of the King of Qin.

  Jin Zheyu and Gu Liu Zheng were sitting under the corridor playing chess, looking at Li Wenshan being carried by two servants, they were stunned for a moment before recognizing him, both of them stood up together and asked in unison:

  "What's wrong with Li Wu?"

  "What's going on?"

  "Don't rush." Lu Yi raised his hand to stop the frightened Jin Cuyan and Gu Liu, looking at Li Wenshan, "Don't be in a hurry, you can't talk like this, let someone take care of you first, wash up and catch your breath before talking, don't rush."

  Li Wenshan nodded continuously, he wasn't in a hurry, he was furious.

  The young servant attended to Li Wenshan as he bathed and washed up, bringing him a new set of clothes to change into. After finishing his ablutions, Li Wenshan also caught his breath, and upon seeing the Qin King, was about to rush over to speak urgently, but was halfway there when Lu Yi grabbed hold of him and pressed him down into a chair, saying "Don't be in such a hurry, first drink that bowl of Ning Shen soup."

  Li Wenshan took a few sips of the soup and let out a long sigh.

  Before he could speak, Gu Liu hastily asked him, "How did you get here? The gatekeeper said they saw you running all the way."

  "It's just running over from the book institute." Li Wenshan nodded.

  "Ah!" Gu Liu's eyeballs almost popped out, "Are you crazy?"

  "Early this morning, Mr. Guo came to find me, Mr. Guo is called Guo Sheng, he is the new teacher hired by my father. Li Wen Shan ignored Gu Liu, looked at Qin Wang, and trembled with his lips, speaking very quickly. "Mr. Guo said that he rushed over last night, he said that yesterday he went to the Zixi Salt Field to check on the footmen and workers, passed through Xikou Town, saw a temple half a mile away from the town, and went in to take a look, as a result..."

  Li Wenshan told the story of the Five Gods sending a child, “...Mr. Guo said that he thought about it over and over again, but didn't dare to tell my father about it. My father is an honest man, but not very capable. Mr. Guo said that he was scared stiff, nobody dared to tell him, thinking about it over and over again, the only thing left to do was to come find me and ask me to quickly inform Master Wang about this matter...How could such a thing happen? Is this still humanly possible? How can things be like this?”

  Li Wenshan finally broke down in tears and burst into loud sobs.

  Gu Liu was stunned, his expression no less shocked than Li Wenshan's.

  Jin Zhenyan's face was tense, his eyes fixed intently on the King of Qin, who showed no expression, his fingers clutching the folding fan were pale and white.

  Lu Yi looked at the King of Qin, then glanced at Jin Cuyan with piercing eyes, and looked again at Li Wenshan who was crying desperately, feeling a little pity for him. This Li Wenshan was indeed a loyal and devoted person.

  "Don't cry anymore, or I'll start crying too." Gu Liu patted Li Wenshan, his eyes reddening. He had heard of such atrocities happening to the villagers since he was young, and after being shocked, he could only sigh a few times. Now seeing Li Wenshan cry like this, he also became sad.

  The King of Qin slowly let out a breath, meeting Jin Xun's gaze, lowered his eyelids, and looked at Lu Yi again, instructing in two words, "Go investigate."

  Lu Yi slightly bowed and turned around to leave.

  Jin Zhiyuan patted Li Wenshan on the back, "Don't cry, what's the use of crying? Such a vicious person who has lost all sense of conscience, once he falls into our brothers' hands, his death is sealed. Don't cry, let's discuss what to do."

  Li Wenshan nodded continuously, took over the wet handkerchief from Gu Liu's hand, one by one, and wiped his face until it was bright red.
