Chapter 445 - 221: Lu Shiran, What Did You Do to Me?
Since my father wasn’t possessed, and since Li Changqing is indeed my biological father, then the enormous changes that occurred must be due to some unavoidable reasons he had before, right?
Saint Heng preferred to believe this explanation.
Otherwise, there was no other explanation.
As for his father’s identity and capabilities, Saint Heng didn’t care; he just needed to know that Li Changqing was still his father.
That’s all.
His brother was gone.
Love was gone.
Fortunately, his father was still here.
That was enough to be satisfied.
Saint Heng opened the letter and read it; it contained some ordinary greetings, and additionally, some money was sent to him.
As much as one million taels.
Saint Heng was quite shocked by this amount.
It seems that the Evergreen Commerce Association is indeed making money now.
After reading the letter, Saint Heng did not rush to the prison but wrote back to Li Changqing, telling him that everything was fine and there was no need to worry.
In the afternoon, he went to the prison to interrogate Mu San and Hua Xianggu. Both of them still showed great defiance towards Saint Heng.
However, Saint Heng did not mind, as the evidence had already confirmed their crimes.
So, on the next day, a trial was held at the Inspection Mansion, and Mu San and Hua Xianggu were sentenced to death, to be executed in five days.
This verdict was met with applause and cheers from all the citizens of White Snake Dao.
Even the small families and merchants in the city did not expect that Saint Heng would actually execute Mu San and Hua Xianggu.
However, both the Mu Mansion and the Hua family had remained silent recently.
Even though the news had spread, they had not made any moves.
The Hua family.
With Hua Xianggu absent, it was his wife who was currently in charge of the Hua family.
That was Zheng Mojun, the matron of the Hua family.
Today, Zheng Mojun heard from the family’s spy that Saint Heng had not left home for three days, seemingly waiting for them to come to him, which terrified her greatly.
Initially, she did want the family patriarch to come out of seclusion to rescue Hua Xianggu because it was rumored outside that after Saint Heng killed Mu Zhan, he was left immobilized due to the side effects of a Secret Technique.
Therefore, Zheng Mojun hesitated about taking the risk.
The latest news terrified her even more, luckily they didn’t act rashly, or else they’d just be walking into a trap.
Wouldn’t Saint Heng use that as an excuse to kill them all?
"We can’t wait any longer."
Zheng Mojun muttered to herself.
Then she called for someone.
"Go find Mu Hongxue and tell her that I agree to what she suggested; it must be done quickly!"
Zheng Mojun knew they had no time left, only five days remaining.
They thought their plan was flawless, but they didn’t know that Zhen Wanshou’s little creatures had already overheard everything clearly.
Zhen Wanshou had informed Li Changqing of the plan involving the three families.
"Ha." After hearing it all, Li Changqing shook his head and smiled.
The scheme involving the Mu Mansion, the Hua family, and Caohe Village was indeed somewhat interesting, but unfortunately, it stood no chance of success.
A day later.
The Governor’s Mansion.
The Town Governor was in the backyard sipping tea and playing with birds, when Old Hu entered from outside.
"Master, someone requests to see you."
Old Hu approached, speaking.
"Who is it?"
"Someone from Caohe Village in White Snake Dao." Old Hu whispered, "His name is Ma Hengdao."
"White Snake Dao? Caohe Village?" The Town Governor glanced at Old Hu and smiled; just a mere person from Caohe Village coming to request an audience, and Old Hu even notified him, surely he’d received quite a lot of benefits from the other party.
"Let him wait in the side hall."
After saying that, the Town Governor continued playing with the caged bird, paying no attention to Ma Hengdao.
