I have a little bit of talent

Fang Mu and the other man walked very fast, and they were trying their best to hurry on their way. In just a cup of tea, they had covered a distance of dozens of miles and returned to Huaicheng.

Although there was a fight and interrogation, not much time had passed, barely less than two hours, so the gates of Huaicheng were still closed and had not been opened.

Fortunately, the tunnel of Cangyun Trading Company was still there, so there was no need to knock on the door. They could just go back to the city through the tunnel.

Just as the two of them left Cangyun Trading Company and headed for the Huaicheng government office, Fang Mu heard a familiar voice.

"Fang Mu, come over here for a moment."

Fang Mu stopped walking when he heard that. Tieshan also had to stop and look at Fang Mu.

"Brother Fang, why don't you leave?"

"Brother Tieshan, please go alone. Elder Huai asked me to come over for something."

Upon hearing that it was Elder Huai who invited him, Tieshan certainly didn't dare to say anything more. He could only clasp his fists and go to the government office alone.

Fang Mu came under the locust tree with ease.

Still passing through the emerging black hole, he arrived at Huai Lao's residence.

It was still the same wooden house, and the furnishings and decorations were no different from the previous few days, except that there was an extra chair in the house.

Elder Huai was still sitting on the chair with a smile on his face, looking at Fang Mu, but there was another person beside him.

The man was wearing an official uniform and had a ruddy complexion. He was also looking at Fang Mu with curiosity.

"Fang Mu, let me introduce you to this person, Zhang Wuliang, the mayor of Huai City."

As Huai Lao finished speaking, Fang Mu's originally smiling face disappeared, and he saluted him with a solemn expression.

"Yangzhou Fang Mu, greetings to Master Zhang!"

"You don't come here to pay respect, but rather to indict me."

Zhang Wuliang didn't get angry when he saw Fang Mu like this. He just looked at Elder Huai and said:

"Mr. Huai, please stop asking riddles. I don't want to take the blame."

"Who made you the city lord? If not you, who will take the blame?" Old Huai said with a smile:

Fang Mu was completely confused. From what Old Huai said, could it be that the Lord of Huai City really had nothing to do with this matter?

"I'm afraid Mu Ge'er has forgotten me. After all, when I saw you in Yangzhou City, you were still in your infancy."

When Zhang Wuliang said this, Fang Mu suddenly woke up.

"You are Uncle Zhang, how come you are the Lord of Huai City?"

Fang Lu became a disciple of Guo Haoran, the former dean of the academy. There were nine disciples under Guo Haoran, and Fang Lu was the sixth. Zhang Wuliang was the youngest and the last to join the academy. In terms of seniority, he was indeed Fang Mu's uncle.

Not long after Fang Mu started practicing, his father Fang Lu told him in detail about his master. When he saw Zhang Wuliang introducing himself, he realized that he had made a mistake.

But I still feel doubtful.

Zhang Wuliang is a Confucian master and a true disciple. It is impossible for him to indulge Chen Changxing and others to do evil.

"I know you have questions. Please sit down and let me explain in detail." Zhang Wuliang waved at Fang Mu, motioning him to sit down and talk.

Fang Mu had no choice but to bow again before sitting down.

Zhang Wuliang looked at Fang Mu for a few more times before he smiled and said:

"Mu Ge'er is indeed not as serious as my brother. After all, he is young and impatient. But he looks the same as my brother."

"That's true, but this kid is more to my taste than Fang Lu!" Old Huai also took over the conversation with a smile.

"Yes, Senior Brother's personality is scary to most people."

Seeing that the two seemed to be chatting about family matters, Fang Mu became a little impatient.

"Master Huai, Uncle Master, please tell me what's going on.

"I'm really confused now."

Seeing that Fang Mu was really anxious, Zhang Wuliang had to stop chatting and get down to business.

It turned out that Zhang Wuliang had just arrived in Huaicheng to take up his post today, and the first thing he did was to visit Old Huai. The two were old acquaintances.

During their conversation, Elder Huai mentioned that Fang Mu was currently investigating the matter of using humans to make elixirs in Huai City, so Zhang Wuliang wanted to meet the youngest son of this senior brother.

Hence Fang Mu’s misunderstanding at this moment.

"I received the appointment two days ago and immediately came to Huaicheng to take up the post. I just arrived in Huaicheng today to deal with this matter. I didn't expect to be misunderstood by Mu Ge'er." Zhang Wuliang was speechless.

"After all, Huaicheng now revolves around you, so we need to come up with some rules and regulations." Old Huai said with a smile.

Although Fang Mu knew that the arrival of this uncle-master was definitely arranged by Fang Lu, he still had some questions that were not answered.

"Where is the former city lord?"

"I'm afraid they have already reached the capital by now." Zhang Wuliang replied:

"This former city lord Wei Ming is also confused.

"I don't dare to offend the person in the academy. He didn't even report the matter after knowing it. He is just like an accomplice and is unworthy of being the parent official of Huaicheng!

"After my senior brother learned about this, he reported it directly to His Majesty. His Majesty was furious and sent people from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to capture him and bring him to the capital to await his fate.

"After all, this matter is too shocking to be publicized, so it is all done in private, and the rest of Huaicheng is unaware of it."

Fang Mu suddenly realized.

"Dad is really fast. Fortunately, I'm not slow either."

Then he told Zhang Wuliang and Huai Lao everything that happened tonight.

"Mu Ge'er was lucky enough to catch a small fish. Like father, like son. This saved me a lot of trouble."

Zhang Wuliang praised him repeatedly, and Fang Mu felt a little embarrassed.

"This kid is just lucky. Don't praise him too much. Your mouth is about to fly to the sky." Seeing Fang Mu was a little complacent, Elder Huai criticized him:

"It's all thanks to Tieshan and Lu Chen. Otherwise, with just this kid alone, I don't know when he would be able to find out the clues."

Fang Mu laughed even louder when he heard this.

“Those two big brothers are my good brothers, and it is a happy thing to have brothers to help me.

"Brother Tieshan has already gone to the government office. Isn't Uncle Zhang going to take a look?"

Zhang Wuliang also laughed.

"No hurry, there are other officers here, I just need to interrogate him tomorrow.

"Besides, these few people can't cause any big trouble. The real boss is still in the academy."

"Are there any arrangements in the academy?"

Although he knew that his father Fang Lu had missed nothing, the academy was different after all. The mastermind behind the scenes must be one of the academy's top leaders, with extraordinary status and cultivation. Plus, his elder brother was also in the academy, so Fang Mu was a little anxious to know the situation there.

"Don't worry, with Fang Lu's character, I'm afraid he has prepared everything. I'm afraid a net of heaven and earth is waiting for that person!"

Before Zhang Wuliang opened his mouth, Elder Huai spoke with certainty, and it was obvious that he had great confidence in Fang Lu.

"Speaking of which, that person is also extraordinary, he is also a genius, and he was also a true disciple of the Confucian school.

"But he is not as good as your father, and there are some disputes between them.

"If it weren't for the fact that he came from an academy, he would have been plotted to death by your father twenty years ago. I never thought that he would dare to commit crimes now. He is really courting death!"

Zhang Wuliang casually revealed the identity of the mastermind behind the incident, which made Fang Mu shudder with fear.

This person actually offended Fang Lu in the past but is still alive today. Although Fang Lu is nostalgic because of this, it also shows that this person is indeed extraordinary and deserves the title of genius.

"So when are we going to start? After all, waiting one more day means more risk."

"That depends on when Han Tieyi arrives in the capital."

"I see."

Fang Mu admired his father more and more, but this admiration was mixed with a bit of fear.

“Sure enough, everything is under Dad’s control, and the mastermind behind this is also very miserable.

"But isn't it a bit inappropriate to plot against a good friend like Uncle Han?"
