“Head Butler, I sent people to look for her, but they didn’t find the Ling’er you mentioned.
“Could she have already left the city?” Qin Jiu asked.
“Impossible. Our people are watching the city gate. She can’t go out.
“Send someone to look for her again tomorrow. Remember to memorize what she looks like. Don’t let her go.”
“Yes, I would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let her off.”
“If she’s alive, I want to see her. If she’s dead, I want to see her corpse.
Remember to report it to the higher-ups.” After the butler finished speaking, he turned around and left.
“Is it really necessary for a servant girl?” Qin Jiu complained.
After saying that, he got busy.
Zhou Ying left with the Head Butler. The Head Butler then went to two brothels, a teahouse, and the pier before returning to the Fang Residence.

Zhou Ying thought of Lord Fang’s identity and searched the Fang Residence from top to bottom. Finally, she found a square basement in the side courtyard.
It was filled with all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and many account books.
Zhou Ying took a few books and flipped through them.
It was all the accounts of the Fang Residence’s dirty income.
Just as she was about to stop, she found a few account books with different bindings and took them out to flip through.
On it were the names and numbers of the weapons they had illegally manufactured.
There was also the time of manufacture and the quantity of the goods.
There were also a large number of personnel expenses written on it. It was not written in detail, so she could not figure out who was billed. However, she felt that it was very likely the expenses for the weaponsmith.
After reading it, she put it back.
Just as she was about to retreat, she suddenly heard the sound of chains shaking.
Only then did she remember that there was another person in the main room in addition to the lower room.
When she went in to take a look, she found that not only was the man crippled, but he had also been chained to the room.
However, his life was relatively exquisite. At least his face and hands were clean, and his hair was smooth.
She didn’t know what kind of nightmare he was having. He kept waving his fists and shaking his head crazily. It seemed that he was fighting with someone in his dream.
If she was not mistaken, her throat should have been chemically muted. Otherwise, he would not have been so silent.
Just as Zhou Ying was about to leave, there was a knock on the door of the study not far away.
Fang Tongpan opened the door and invited the person in. “Have you found out who they sent this time? What’s the matter?”
“It’s King Xian and his son. I didn’t find out the details, but they didn’t bring many people with them, so it shouldn’t be anything big.”
“Don’t be careless. By the way, how’s the situation at Lion Camel Ridge? Have you found out what’s going on? It’s been a few days since we last heard from them.”
“I went up the mountain once, but something seemed to have happened on the mountain. Now, the checks on the mountain are very strict, so I didn’t dare to go in.
“However, I overheard that when Marquis An Le came over, he was robbed by bandits. It was Tiger who brought people to save him.”
“No, something must have happened over there. Tiger didn’t even give face to Lord Chen and me. Why would he save Gu Chengrui?”
“Do you want me to test Gu Chengrui?”
“There’s no need for that yet. Right now, the purpose of King Xian’s visit is unknown. It’s better for us to be careful, just in case.
“As for Gu Chengrui, he’ll have to stay for another seven or eight days. There’s no rush.”
“Alright, then I will take my leave.”
“Inform the people on the mountain to be careful. Don’t let King Xian and the others suss them out.”
“I’ll do it now.” After that, the man turned around and walked out..
