Chapter 95: Hooves Like Thunder
Yawning, Wei Hai walked closer and said, “Everything went smoothly, and we even met the Old Man Emperor's teacher. We handed over the evidence to him and then left.”“Imperial Preceptor!”Patriarch Ren’s pupils trembled, and after a moment of silence, he turned to Gu Ning’an and the others. “After a night of travel, you must be exhausted. Hurry back and rest. With the Emperor’s teacher here, the Sun family won’t be able to stir up any trouble.”Gu Ning’an nodded and walked toward the…-

The young beggar nodded thoughtfully, pointing at his twig-thin arm.“Then I’ll find some labor work tomorrow.”“Sure,” Ying Du teased, “with those scrawny arms and legs, you’ll probably only make five or six copper coins after a whole day of work.”Hearing this, the beggar’s eyes lit up.“Five or six copper coins? That’s plenty! Enough for two flatbreads!”“Brother Ying, where do you live? Once I earn money, I’ll treat you to some flatbreads!”“The flatbreads from Baldy’s shop…

Hearing the old beggar identify him by name, the old man was slightly surprised. “You’ve heard of me?” The old beggar respectfully stood up and replied, “I am Wen Songmo, once a top scholar and the magistrate of Jiangling Prefecture. If I knew the name of Master Qi yet couldn’t deduce your identity, I’d be an utter fool.” “Wen Songmo, a top scholar and magistrate of Jiangling Prefecture…” The old man furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment before speaking. “No…

Chapter 112: Ties of Karma
After finishing their meal and agreeing on a departure time for the next day, Gu Ning'an and his companions retired to their respective rooms for the night. Surprisingly, Ying Du, who still had some money left after paying for the meal, chose not to stay at the overpriced inn.

“This is simple. Older folks don’t like to wander far… For the old man to attend the poetry gathering, he must live near Flowing Pavilion; otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered to join the festivities.”With that, Gu Ning’an turned and said, “Let’s head toward Flowing Pavilion first. Once we’re nearby, we can wake Yuanqiu up and have it sniff around for the old man’s location.”Hearing this, the group quickly followed. The old beggar caught up to Gu Ning’an’s side and asked,…

Chapter 92: Loyal Dog Yuanqiu
Rustle, rustle!The gray dog moved its paw slightly, and the old beggar instinctively let out a sigh of relief, quickening his pace as he approached.The dog’s ears twitched, and though it barely managed to stand, it didn’t even open its eyes. Instead, it bared its teeth and let out a low growl, “Grrr… grrr,” as a warning.“It’s me! It’s me!” Afraid of startling the dog, the old beggar stopped, pushed aside his blood-stained beard and hair, and revealed his face.The dog, its eyes clouded…-

Chapter 104: “Sending You Off”
Rustle, rustle!Beneath a crooked old tree, Wei Hai gripped a hemp rope, looping it around one of the thickest branches.After tying a firm knot at the base, just as he was about to slip the noose around his neck, a playful laugh rang out from nearby."Ending it like this is a bit unsightly, don’t you think? And if someone stumbles upon you, they’ll have nightmares for three years.""Mi—Mi—Mister Gu!"Startled, Wei Hai hastily untied the rope and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a figure in…-

The four men on the ground weren’t unconscious but had temporarily lost the ability to move. Hearing Wei Hai’s voice, they naturally realized they had been ambushed.But what baffled them was how any of the four could have the strength to throw a stone with such force, striking them all down like a perfect "one stone, two birds" scenario.“Give me the blade!” The old beggar extended his hand toward Li Xunshan.Without hesitation, Li Xunshan handed over a short blade.Taking the blade, the old beggar…

After a moment of thought, Li Xunshan nodded and headed alone toward the bridal chamber in the backyard.Now, only Gu Ning’an and Wen Songmo remained in the main hall.The two exchanged glances for a while before Gu Ning’an smiled and asked, “Master Wen, are you heading back to the yamen…
