Miss Feng Wu, the female alchemy goddess, is busy refining alchemy

"Brother Song, you have to be trustworthy. I can't accept your reason for breaking off the engagement."

He knew that he was a difficult person to deal with. Fortunately, the master had anticipated that something unexpected would happen. A guard stood next to him, wearing armor that was obviously different from the others.

"Mr. Song, I advise you to handle this matter properly. This is the city lord's wish."

"Who are you? How dare you talk to me like this." Ma Baoju was very angry when he looked at the guard in front of him. A small guard dared to threaten him under the guise of the city lord.

"I'm here, General Jiang Tong of the city defense department, to help Master Song Fu on orders from Commander Ye." He directly pointed out that he was here under orders because he wanted to tell him that this matter was supported by Ye Jiming.

Sure enough, when Ma Baoju heard this, he was stunned. He looked at him in disbelief, but his heart was filled with turmoil, 'What's going on? Has something happened that you don't know about? Why did the Ye family help him Song Fucheng. ’

He was extremely confused but didn't dare to show it openly, so he could only swallow his anger and resolve the matter in front of him first.

"Since this is something Commander Ye has informed about, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Song Fucheng looked at his hypocritical appearance and really didn't want to stay here for a moment. He had already guessed it when he saw the city guard but still wanted to pretend. He really knew how to act.

"Since the two families have reached an agreement, please return Concubine Wan's Geng Tie Bar. The Song family has not touched any of the betrothal gifts here. Once you check it, it will be cleared."

Ma Baoju is also a person who knows current affairs. The current situation is obviously not good for him. He can only agree to wait for them to leave and then immediately send someone to investigate who the owner of Song Fucheng is.

However, it only took half a day before the servants came to report.

"Back to the Master, the affairs of the Song family have been investigated clearly. The Tang Dan King went to his shop yesterday. Not long after he left, the Song family came to our house to cancel the engagement."

Ma Baoju was also quite surprised when he heard the word Dan Wang.

"King Tang Dan? Why does it sound so familiar? But the one who has been making a lot of noise these past two days?"

"Yes, it's that man."

Ma Baoju pondered for a while and waved to ask people to leave. He sat on a chair drinking tea and thinking about what was going to happen next.

The steward stood aside waiting for his instructions.

"How are you handling the things I asked you to do before? Take it easy these days. The wind in the city has been a bit tight these past two days. Please stop."

"Okay, sir, I have already collected part of it and it is almost finished. Do you really want to stop? It will only take five days to complete. Master Feng is still waiting."

Ma Baoju was also very confused, but he had been restless these past few days and had a bad premonition.

"No matter how many things there are, stop now. I feel like something is going to happen in the next few days." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the guard rushing in.

"No, sir, something happened." When he heard these words, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He was really afraid of what might happen. The housekeeper also asked nervously,

"What happened? Could it be that there is something going on over there in Nanshan?"

"Go back to the housekeeper. Yes, it's over at Nanshan. Just an hour ago, the city guards suddenly ran to our site in Nanshan to conduct an investigation. The informant we arranged failed to inform us of the results in advance..."

He really didn't have the courage to continue talking, so he could only lower his head and quietly raise his eyes to look at the master. Seeing the master's livid face, he was frightened and his body trembled slightly.

"Something happened, butler! How many of us are there in Nanshan?"

"Only three of my own people were sent here, and the rest were hired from outside the village." He seemed to have guessed what the master meant, and as expected, he heard

"That's easier to handle. I guess these people haven't been escorted back to the City Guards Department yet. You should quickly find a few capable people to hold them down before the city guards escort them into the city..." he said. He also made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hands.

A cold light flashed through the eyes of the guard standing below. This kind of thing is very common among aristocratic families, but now it happens in front of him. He is still a little scared. After all, who is not afraid of death.

After hearing his instructions, the housekeeper immediately prepared to arrange things. Just as he was about to step out the door, he heard the master say:

"Remember to deal with it cleanly and never let them live. By the way, keep a close eye on everyone involved in this matter. As soon as the people over there find out, he will deal with it immediately."

The housekeeper was startled and reacted instantly, and hurriedly bowed to reply.

"Yes, sir." After saying that, he walked out quickly.

Ma Baoju threw the tea cup on the table to the ground in annoyance. The guard on the side had already begun to tremble. He must be one of the people involved in this matter. After all, he knew that he would be killed if he knew some information.

Ma Baoju didn't pay attention to the reaction of the guards behind him, but he was very puzzled. Why did the people from the city guard suddenly check their Ma family? There wasn't even a hint of warning.

Just when he was puzzled, he saw the housekeeper running in in a panic, as if there was an evil ghost chasing behind him.

"Master, something bad has happened. For some reason today, the city defenders suddenly dispatched and are conducting extensive searches in the city. The steward from the north of the city also came to report that the city has also been sealed off."

After hearing the news, Ma Baoju slumped on his chair in despair. Was it really God's will to kill him? what on earth is it,

"Why did the city lord suddenly conduct a strict inspection on all parts of the city? Do you know the reason?" Ma Baoju stared at the housekeeper as if he wanted to eat someone.

He was thinking that the city lord had discovered something? But it has been several months since this happened. How did it come to light?

The housekeeper became nervous when he stared at him, but he didn't know the reason, but he didn't dare to say it. After all, if he didn't know about such a thing, it would be his dereliction of duty.

None of the people sent to find out the situation came back. He gritted his teeth and could only tell the truth:

"Master, none of the people I sent to investigate have come back. For some unknown reason, I have sent a second wave of people to check and they should report back soon."

After experiencing a brief panic, Ma Baoju had calmed down. At this time, he could not be confused and had to stabilize his position. He could only comfort himself in his heart.

"Have you sent anyone over to do what you were asked to do just now? Kill those three people over at Nanshan. Fortunately, they are not directly connected to the mansion. The person who was sent to take over with them was Old Man Wei from Madam Zhuangzi. I will send Go over and deal with him."

Having said this, he looked at the guard standing behind him,

"You do this. Old Wei happens to be going to his in-law's house these two days. You kill him on his way home. I don't need to teach you how to do it."

When the guard heard this, he knew that if he dared to refuse now, he would very likely die here on the spot. Killing Old Wei was his surrender!
