As the sky dawned, Butler Liu of the Jiang Mansion frequently looked down the street, but he only saw crowds of people coming and going.

"Why hasn't Manager Fan come back yet?"

Butler Liu rubbed his hands anxiously, feeling angry.

However, he waited at the door for a full hour and did not see Manager Fan.

Even among the many guards who followed Guanshi Fan, none came back.

In the flash of lightning, a thought flashed through his mind, sending a chill down his spine.

Oops!

"Sir!" Butler Liu stumbled inside, "Something is going wrong!"

In the bedroom, Jiang Zhizhou was holding the beauty in his arms, tasting the wine from the beauty's lips.

Seeing Butler Liu rushing over in a panic, his face that was extremely rosy due to drunkenness was full of impatience, and his eyes were misty as he said: "If it's not a big deal, don't bother me!"

"Sir! Steward Fan hasn't returned home yet!" Steward Liu's eyes were horrified, "I'm afraid that... there will be an accident on the way!"

"How long have we been here?" Jiang Zhizhou waved his hand impatiently, "Don't worry, who else in Jiangning dares to go against me?"

Before Butler Liu could answer, Jiang Zhizhou's back felt numb.

He immediately let go of the beauty's hand and hurried out.

"Sir, your clothes!" Butler Liu hugged the clothes and followed Jiang Zhizhou quickly.

As Jiang Zhizhou walked, he put on his clothes and kept saying: "It only takes two hours to go back and forth from Jiangning to the other courtyard in the mountains. He has been gone for seven hours! Something must have gone wrong!"

Butler Liu nodded repeatedly, his gray beard twitching: "Your Majesty is right, I'm just afraid...those things will be seen by others!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhizhou felt a chill behind him.

He glared at Butler Liu fiercely and gritted his teeth and said: "What nonsense are you talking about! Those are all my concubines. There is no law in the court that stipulates that officials cannot take concubines!"

"Yes, yes!" Butler Liu nodded repeatedly, "Even so, I guess nothing serious happened to Manager Fan!"

Jiang Zhizhou agreed very much with this guess. He stroked his beard and subconsciously slowed down his steps: "Yes, over the years, even the big families in Jiangning have not dared to go against me."

Speaking of this, he stood still: "Is there any movement from the Lord of Changning County?"

Looking at the whole of Jiangning, the only variable is that dead girl!

Butler Liu tried his best to think back, and finally shook his head quickly: "Don't worry, Sir, the Lord of Changning County has always been in Jiangning City, and there has been no change in the troops around him."

"It's just..." Butler Liu whispered, "Our people discovered that the head of Changning County was behaving intimately with a guard next to him."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhizhou snorted softly: "These clans are mostly wild and unruly people, and there are many clan girls who support male favorites. It is not surprising that the head of Changning County would do such a thing."

"I just don't know if my nephew... knows about the various deeds of Changning County Lord."

Jiang Zhizhou got on the carriage, still thinking about it with schadenfreude.

Butler Liu was speechless when he heard these secrets.

"County Lord, Jiang Zhizhou has gone outside the city."

Chunyu quickly walked into the bedroom and said loudly.

Gu Ning immediately sat up straight. She approached Chunyu and whispered, "Have the arrangements been made?"

"Of course!" Chunyu said, and then teased, "This is what you ordered Guard Xie to do, but whenever Guard Xie takes action, he never fails."

"Of course, he is..." the future villain.

Gu Ning muttered softly, stood up and walked out.

But Chunyu grabbed her sleeve firmly at this moment: "County Master, thanks to the guards, you have been specifically ordered not to let you go out!"

"Am I the county lord or is he the county lord!" Gu Ning's peach blossom eyes widened, "Chunyu, you were pointed out to me by my grandmother..."

"When the eldest princess gave the slave to the county lord, she told the slave not to put you in danger!" Chunyu's expression remained unchanged, "You went outside the city last night, and you risked being dealt with by the eldest princess.

danger."

"Okay, okay!" Gu Ning waved his hand and lay down again.

Chunyu's voice softened a lot, and she said softly: "I know that the county master wants to kill Jiang Zhizhou with his own hands, but the skills you know are really..."

Gu Ning rolled her eyes. If there hadn't been an error in the system, how could she have ended up with a body whose shoulders could resist the hand but not lift?

in those days……

Forget it, Gu Ning looked inside the Dantian. The weak spiritual energy was particularly lonely in the empty Dantian.

With her appearance, she is indeed not suitable for those physical jobs.

Gu Ning rolled her eyes and waved to Chunyu: "Go and invite those girls over. I have something to ask them."

"Yes." Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped back.

In the side courtyard, the rescued women gathered together in twos and threes.

These soft clothes and soft brocade quilts made them feel like they were in a dream.

"Are we really saved?"

A woman with a delicate and charming appearance, her eyes full of surprise.

"I heard that the person who rescued us is the county owner. With her here, I believe we won't be sent back again!"

"If I go back again... I would rather die!"

"The county owner has a distinguished status. If she comes forward, can that old beast be brought to justice?"

"Sister Li Yu, what do you think?"

Li Huo's eyes were complicated and he didn't answer for a long time.

How should she answer?

After those few words last night, she had never seen the astonishing-looking county lord again, and she didn't know if her previous promise still counted.

And... where is Qin Wan?

"Is there something wrong here?"

Just when everyone was worried, there was a burst of brisk footsteps outside the door.

Everyone looked around and saw Qin Wan, who had disappeared overnight, reappearing in front of them.

"Sister Li!" Qin Wan took Li Huo's arm and whispered, "We are finally saved!"

After she spoke, another person appeared.

Chunyu has a delicate appearance and a friendly smile, which makes people feel close to her as soon as they see her.

"Ladies." Chunyu bowed to several people and said kindly, "My county master invites you."

Hearing this, the smiles of the people who were originally cheerful froze slightly.

There were also many timid people who stepped back.

Seeing this, Chunyu didn't force it.

She walked up to Li Hui and said warmly: "I wonder if Miss Li is willing to go with me to see the county lord?"

"Of course." She added, "The county leader said that your injuries have not healed yet. If you don't want to, don't force it."

At this time, Qin Wan tugged on Li Xi's sleeve and said comfortingly: "The Lord of Changning County is a good person, you don't have to worry."

Li Huo looked at her deeply, and finally nodded towards Chun Yu: "Okay."

The mountains outside Jiangning City are very quiet, with only the crisp chirping of birds.

Dozens of people walked into the path here, startling many birds, and their noisy footsteps gradually broke the tranquility here.

Jiang Zhizhou stood there with a livid face, the uneasiness in his heart gradually growing.

Seeing many figures in front of him, he was so anxious that he almost vomited blood.

"What's going on?"

Butler Liu knelt in front of him, trembling and said: "Old slave...Old slave also heard what the guards in front said... There are only a few guards in the other courtyard, and they did not see Manager Fan sending anyone over!"

Jiang Zhizhou felt his eyes go dark. He held on to the tree trunk nearby and his lips trembled: "How could this be? Who harmed me?"

Now that Fan Guanshi has disappeared, there are no traces of those guards and beauties. Who in Jiangning City dares to go against him?

"Could it be..." Butler Liu thought for a moment and whispered, "Is it the Yuan family and the Ling family? They have always been dissatisfied with you, and have repeatedly tried to redistribute profits with you. If Manager Fan and those people can be caught,

Isn’t this one more way to hold you hostage?”

Jiang Zhizhou's eyes narrowed, and a sinister smile appeared on his fat face: "Now that I think about it, only these two families dare to go against me!"

At this moment, a guard ran over with a pale face. On his back, he was carrying the guard who was only breathing.

"Sir, my subordinates and others found a big pit in the dense forest ahead. Inside..." he whispered, "all of them are our brothers!"

"Where is Manager Fan?" Jiang Zhizhou said bitterly, "And those women! Where have they gone?"

The guard said with difficulty: "They are all gone."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhizhou took several steps back, his eyes filled with fear.

He suddenly thought of something, and with a sharp look in his eyes, he pinched the skirt of the guard who was only breathing out, and asked viciously: "Who is it? Who stopped you?"

The guard said "Wow", spat out a mouthful of blood, and said intermittently: "Those people were all covered, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but...but my subordinates saw the black tiger tattoos on the back of their necks!"

"Black tiger tattoo!" Jiang Zhizhou grinded his back teeth and said bitterly, "It's indeed their two families!"

The Yuan family and the Ling family are related to each other by marriage, and they have been intermarried for hundreds of years. They are like one family, and they have trained batches of secret guards with the combined efforts of both families.

The black tiger tattoo on their neck is their symbol.

Jiang Zhizhou's expression changed again and again. Finally, he covered his chest and said bitterly: "Go back to the city immediately!"

"I want to see how confident these two families are that they dare to challenge me!"

The carriage drove quickly through the muddy mountain roads, raising dust all over the sky.

After Jiang Zhizhou and others left, there were several rustling sounds in the woods, and dozens of black shadows appeared.

Yue Rong's eyes widened and he murmured: "How could the county master know such a secret? Didn't she always only know how to eat, drink and have fun?"

"Not only that." Xie Yan said coldly, "This plan was also planned by her."

"The county master is so smart!" Yue Rong heard this and praised, "Such a talent, master, you are..."

"It hurts, it hurts!" Yue Rong covered his arm and shouted repeatedly.

When he met Xie Yan's cold gaze, he trembled and fell silent.

Beside him, Yue Ming cupped his hands and said, "Master, the county master's plan will definitely drive a wedge between Jiang Zhizhou and the Jiangning family. We can take advantage of this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Go to Xinyang Prefecture." Xie Yan said in a low voice, "Inform the eldest princess everything."

"But if this happens, the county master will probably be punished..." Yue Rong said cautiously.

Xie Yan's face turned cold. Just when Yue Rong was about to defend himself, he heard his indifferent voice.

"Just say that this is all my arrangement."
