Four Lifetimes Dream

"Okay, I'll go to Sioux City with you!"

"Let's set off tomorrow!" Li Sheng said without refusing.

So, on the next day, the two of them rushed to Sucheng early in the morning. Since Sucheng was not very far from the capital, they rode at full speed and arrived in just one hour.

The current scene in Su City is no different from that in Beijing. The entire city is in a tense state, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets.

"I didn't expect that the once bustling Su City is now so deserted." Li Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

The bustling scene before no longer exists!

"Do you come to Sucheng often?" It seems that she is not unfamiliar with Sucheng.

"Not often." In the past few years, she has been to so many places that she has long forgotten how many times she has been to the same place.

"You've been..." Luo Ci Yan took back the words when they came to his lips.

He originally wanted to ask her how she had been doing over the years, but then he suddenly thought of every time he met her, and he couldn't bring himself to ask.

Because the answer is obvious. If she had lived a good life, she would not have been chased and beaten with a knife.

"What?" Li Sheng saw that he suddenly stopped talking halfway through his words, and turned to look at him, somewhat confused.

"Nothing. Are you hungry? Let's go eat first!" Luo Ci Yan shook his head, then pulled her towards the restaurant in front.

"Okay!" She was also hungry, and only after eating would she have the strength to work!

Half an hour later, after the two finished their meal, they walked towards the government office.

"Sir, there are two people outside who want to see you. They say they can help us solve the case!"

Inside the government office, a bailiff ran into the center of the hall and clasped his fists.

"Quick, please invite them in!" Gao Wu stood up from the desk excitedly and spoke immediately after hearing this.

"Yes!" the bailiff answered and went to invite someone.

"Do you think Gao Wu is trustworthy?" Luo Ci Yan asked outside the government office.

"Gao Wu has been the county magistrate in Sucheng for nearly ten years. The people seem to trust him very much. It is said that he is a rare good official!"

As for whether it is trustworthy or not, that is not very important. What they want now is just an identity that allows them to investigate the case openly!

"You two, the master invites you in!" Just as Luo Ci Yan was about to speak, the bailiff came out.

The two followed the bailiff into the lobby, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but hold their breath!

What kind of gods are these two? Whether it's their looks or their temperament, they make people feel like they have fallen into a fairyland!

The two of them had clean temperaments and were spotless. When they stood together, there was no sense of disobedience, and they looked like a pair of immortal lovers! This made people involuntarily take a few more glances at them.

"Greetings, sir!" The two men clasped their fists towards Gao Wu who was sitting in the hall and said in unison.

"No need to be so polite, my two heroes!" Gao Wu came back to his senses and waved his hand hurriedly.

"Sir, I believe you are already aware of the purpose of our visit. What do you think?" Luo Ci Yan went straight to the point.

"If you two can really help us solve this case, I would naturally welcome it very much!" Gao Wu said with a smile.

"As long as the adults don't interfere too much in our actions, solving the case will naturally be a matter of time!" Luo Ci Yan nodded and replied.

They only need an identity now. If the people from the government interfere with their actions everywhere and make it difficult for them to move forward, then their problems will only become even more difficult!

"Of course. I just don't know what I should address you two." Gao Wu nodded readily and promised not to interfere too much in their affairs, then asked again.

"My name is Mu Ci, and this is my junior sister, Qi Ran!" Luo Ci Yan answered Gao Wu's question before Li Sheng was about to speak.

"Mr. Mu, Miss Qi, I have asked someone to prepare some light wine, I hope you two will show me your kindness!"

"Thank you, sir!" The two men clasped their fists again and expressed their gratitude.

Although they had already eaten before coming, they couldn't refuse now that they needed help.

"Those two, please come this way!" Gao Wu made a 'please' gesture.

"Please come in first, sir!" The two politely made a 'please' gesture, and did not forget to put on a professional smile on their faces.

Gao Wu did not refuse and walked in front of the two of them.

"Mu Ci? Junior Sister?! Young master is quite good at telling lies with open eyes!" After Gao Wu walked a little further away, Li Sheng lowered his voice, looked at Luo Ci Yan, and said.

This is ridiculous, she suddenly changed from 'Master' to 'Junior Sister', the role change is so fast!

"There's nothing I can do, I have to make do with the emergency!" Luo Ci Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly, looking very innocent.

Li Sheng: "..." What a quick decision! If he had said it casually, he would never have said the word "junior sister".

After the two men politely finished their meal with Gao Wu, Gao Wu told them the general situation of the case, and then had someone arrange rooms for them. He said that he was worried that they were tired from traveling, so he let them have a good rest first, and it would not be too late to investigate the case the next day.

The two did not refuse, and under the guidance of those people, they each returned to the room arranged for them by Gao Wu.

"The main gate is the right gate, not the right gate. It seems that the mind of this sect leader is destined to be tied to the evil and crooked ways!"

After entering the room, Li Sheng stood in front of the window, looking at the note she had just received in her hand. The corners of her mouth raised, revealing an evil smile.

Then he gently crushed the paper with his fingers and it turned into ashes.

"Tiger Tiger, give me a map of the Wuzheng Gate!"

The place called Wuzhengmen has appeared in the novel. As long as it is a place mentioned in the novel, Hu Hu can copy it.

"Okay, host, I'll do it right away!" Hu Hu responded and started to work.

"Knock knock knock" At this moment, a series of orderly knocks on the door were heard.

"Come in!" The door was not locked, and Li Sheng did not intend to open the door himself. After saying these two words, he continued to look out the window without turning his head.

"Qiqi." Luo Ci Yan gently pushed open the door. After coming in, he saw Li Sheng looking outside, so he called out.

"Why are you here?" Li Sheng turned around when he heard his voice.

She thought Gao Wu had sent someone to convey some message, but she didn't expect it was him.

"I have to go out for something, you stay here and don't run around!"

He originally wanted to leave directly, but he was afraid that she would worry, or leave without saying goodbye like last time, so he chose to come and tell her.

"Okay!" Li Sheng nodded in agreement without any expression on his face.

She was worried that she had no reason to leave, and now that he was leaving too, she no longer needed any reason.

Luo Ci Yan didn't say anything else and turned and left.

Not long after he left, Li Sheng also left. It was getting late, so she thought no one would come to disturb her. She just had to get back before dawn.

"Master Gao, do you think those two little brats can really solve this case?"

In Gao Wu's study, an old man in his sixties or seventies looked unconvinced. This case had been going on for so long, and even the people from the imperial court were of no avail. Those two people were only in their teens. How could they solve the case? They must be kidding!

"Let's observe for a few days to see whether it works or not!" Gao Wu looked at the letter in his hand and spoke without raising his head.
