Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 530 - 529: A Drop in the Bucket

Song Ting smiled, "Master didn’t mention it, but I have my ways of finding out."

Mu Jian chuckled and nodded, "Worthy of being my disciple, truly clever!"

In the study of the City Lord Mansion.

The City Lord sat listening to his subordinate’s report. Upon hearing the news, he felt a chill in his heart, "Even Young Master Duan couldn’t capture him, is this assassin indeed so formidable?"

"City Lord, I heard the constables discussing the black-clothed assassin, saying this person is just like the Black-clothed Hero praised by the common folk, both in appearance and method of killing, it’s highly possible they’re the same person."

"Black-clothed Hero?" The City Lord sighed lightly, "If that’s the case, it could be understood."

"City Lord..." The subordinate was puzzled.

The City Lord said: "Those eleven who died were not good people, if the Black-clothed Hero killed them, it wouldn’t be surprising."

The subordinate suddenly understood, "In the past, the Black-clothed Hero always killed bandits, and these people’s deeds were no different from bandits, which is why he killed them!"

"Indeed." The City Lord looked at the subordinate and said, "You may withdraw now."

Meanwhile, in another courtyard, Fu Junyan held a white piece, looking at Duan Yunfei opposite him, "What did you say to Elder Mu?"

Duan Yunfei placed his piece and smiled faintly, "Nothing much, just telling him the truth."

"What did he say?" Fu Junyan asked again.

Duan Yunfei replied, "Not much, just a moment of surprise, then he nodded in agreement."

Fu Junyan smiled silently, "Perhaps he didn’t expect a General of Nanfeng Country to do such a thing?"

Duan Yunfei raised his eyebrow, "Perhaps."

Shen Qinglan sat silently beside them, but Du Bingxue spoke in a low voice, "Everyone, will you join us tomorrow morning?"

"Probably," Le Zhao said, "Saving people is important, but we might not be much help."

Among those present, aside from Du Bingxue and Xuan Ming, there was Shen Qinglan who understood a bit, the rest were completely clueless.

Du Bingxue said, "You can definitely be of help."

"It’s a draw." Fu Junyan looked at the chessboard and said blandly.

Duan Yunfei raised his eyebrow, picked up the black pieces one by one and put them back in the pot, whispering, "If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to ask."

Fu Junyan curled his lips, "If there’s something that requires your influence, I won’t hesitate."

The two exchanged a smile over the chessboard, but their words left the others present perplexed.

Two days later, Flower Town, Xinghua Village. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Mu Jian had Song Ting distribute some epidemic medicine pills to Shen Qinglan and the group to take, before leading them into the town with great momentum.

"The City Lord is here!" Early in the morning, the County Magistrate of Flower Town was waiting at the village entrance, and upon hearing the announcement, rushed out to welcome him.

"City Lord, you finally came!"

Perhaps from fear and anxiety, the County Magistrate had dark circles under his eyes, looking very worn out.

"This is Miss Du and Elder Mu from the Medicine Sect," the City Lord looked at the County Magistrate and said, "You should take them to see it now."

The County Magistrate nodded and hurriedly said to the group, "Please follow me!"

On the way, Mu Jian asked, "Currently, how is the epidemic control? Has the source been identified?"

"The source hasn’t been found yet," the County Magistrate rubbed his temples and said with a tired voice, "But the epidemic has been controlled, from last night till today, no one else has been infected."

Mu Jian nodded solemnly, "That’s good!"

"How is the old Imperial Physician?" Du Bingxue asked.

"Replying to Miss Du, he’s been feverish for three days. In recent days, other Imperial Physicians have been trying to cure him, administered quite a number of medicines, but currently, it still seems like a drop in the bucket!"
