Chapter 21 Worry

Hurrying back to Qing Si, Dou Hongyi personally handled the matter of disguising identities.

Soon, the identity of the original owner of the White Robe Token was prominently displayed before them.

It was actually…

“Name: Ye Se Liming (Night Twilight).”

“Place of Birth: Guyue Village in the Black Green Mountains.”

“Position: Former captain of Guyue Village, current White Robe of Qingsi County.”

“Grade A Merits: Slaying a bizarre entity, saving Qingsi County, supporting the collapsing mansion, turning the tide, counted as one Grade A merit.”

“Grade B Merits: Repelling the Wu Yu Clan's bizarre entities that slaughtered Mo Village, Manshui Village, and several other villages in the Black Green Mountains, saving the remaining villagers of Guyue Village, counted as one Grade B merit.”

“Grade C Merits: ….”

“Demerits and Punishments: Private appropriation of a massive amount of pills from the Qingsi County treasury, resulting in injuries to the guards. Deducting a large amount of merit based on the value of the pills…”

Row upon row of information dazzled Dou Hongyi.

Especially since the information recorded that this Ye Baiyi had only joined Qing Si for a little over a month, and so many things had already happened.

Both great merits and great demerits.

After offsetting the merits and demerits, the merit points were already enough to directly advance to the position of Green Robe, and even not far from the Red Robe position. All that was lacking was the person's strength to catch up, and then a written application to be submitted.

A thud in his heart, Dou Hongyi faintly felt uneasy.

Could it be that this Ye Se Liming was actually killed by senior, and then used to impersonate him…

The thought was terrifying!

As for reporting the position and merits, that was absolutely impossible.

Being an imposter and still being so high-profile was just courting death.

However… why did this Ye Se Liming's White Robe Token fall in Dongliu Mountain and be picked up by senior.

Ye Se Liming, Ye Niuniu…

Could it be?!

Dou Hongyi's pupils shrank. Could it be that Ye Niuniu was Ye Se Liming? And then Ye Se Liming had already died in Dongliu Mountain.

This, this, this… this can't be considered his fault!

If he had known that this Ye Niuniu had such a big background and such an amazing resume.

He wouldn't have dared to put Ye Niuniu on the wanted list even if he died.

Now that the person was dead, he had to quickly withdraw the wanted order and clear his name.

And the matter of the identity that senior had instructed…

Dou Hongyi sighed. How did things become so troublesome?

Collecting the information, it soon showed that after Ye Niuniu… that is, Ye Baiyi, left Chunuan City, the direction he went was actually Dongliu Mountain.

Everything seemed to fit together…

Just then, someone from below suddenly ran over to report.

“Lord Dou, the intelligence from Dongliu Mountain has also been delivered. The Dongliu Mountain night bandits have been swept away, scattered and disorganized. The top ten bandit leaders, except for the heads you brought back, have all disappeared without a trace. The night bandits are without a leader and have long been in chaos. Some have fled the Chunuan City area, while others have hidden themselves. Initial estimates are that there should be no night bandits active near Chunuan City in the short term.

According to intelligence, the one who wreaked havoc in Dongliu Mountain was a man with a halo above his head…”

A series of information was delivered, impacting Dou Hongyi to the point of being completely dazed. kan shu la

But soon, he keenly captured a piece of information.

That is… a halo above his head?

“A white halo or a black halo?”

This was a crucial question, but the person who came shook his head in astonishment.

“Unaware.”

“…”

That was troublesome.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed there was no difference.

Either senior killed him, or it was killed by the bizarre entity born from senior's Qi Deviation.

It seemed that the unlucky ghost Ye Baiyi was caught in the middle and tragically killed.

Alas…

Why did it have to be so troublesome…

Dou Hongyi sighed deeply, sat down on the chair, and picked up the hot tea with annoyance.

But before he could even take a sip, another person rushed in, panicking, and knelt on the ground to report, “Lord, Lord Dou! Latest news, the capital has issued an urgent document, which will be delivered to the Chunuan City Qing Si department soon. It is suspected to be a Holy Edict!”

Bang.

The teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

Dou Hongyi trembled, already rising from his seat in shock, his eyes wide, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief, his whole body trembling.

He seemed to think he had misheard.

“Ho, ho, ho, holy… Holy Edict?!”

The Emperor… how could the Emperor pay attention to such a small place like Chunuan City??

What exactly could have happened to attract the Emperor's attention?

Dou Hongyi was afraid, shocked, and fearful.

Don't look at Chunuan City's flourishing appearance; in reality, there were countless dirty deeds hidden beneath the surface.

Taking out any major event and dealing with it openly would result in heads rolling!

Phoenix Organization? Qing Si bribery? Merchant-bandit collusion? The Tian Shang Alliance growing too big? Underground black market? Abuse of intelligence sales?

In an instant, a flood of misdeeds in Chunuan City flashed through Dou Hongyi's mind, and he trembled with fear.

Shivering, his voice trembling, he asked, “Do, do you know what matter disturbed the Emperor?”

“Rumor has it that it is related to a White Robe in the Chunuan City Qing Si, but the specifics are unknown.” wΑp.kan shu wu.net

White Robe?

Was there any White Robe Qing Wei in Chunuan City who was particularly famous or had done anything that could attract the attention of the capital?

No, right… basically… Wait!

His pupils shrank, Dou Hongyi trembled, and the name of a person appeared in his mind.

Ye Se Liming… Ye Baiyi!

Could it be that the person the Emperor was looking for was the already dead Ye Baiyi?!

His breath hitched, and Dou Hongyi almost fainted.

The Emperor was looking for someone, but the person was already dead… if he was blamed for this, the entire Chunuan City would be in trouble!

No! This cannot be allowed to happen!

Senior… senior is pretending to be Ye Baiyi. If senior can impersonate him well, after the matter is over, leave Chunuan City and then disappear from the world, then the blame will not fall on Chunuan City.

His thoughts gradually became clearer. Dou Hongyi covered his chest, which was pounding, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

Yes, this plan is feasible. With senior's cooperation, plus some manipulation, it can be successfully implemented. Before the Holy Edict arrives, let Ye Baiyi return to Chunuan City and then disappear from the world, and I will no longer be involved!

The two below didn't know what Dou Hongyi was thinking. Seeing Dou Hongyi's emotions go from panic to gradual stability, they exchanged glances, their faces full of doubt.

“You two, from today onwards, the matter of Ye Baiyi will be classified as a confidential case file, and no one else must know about it.”

“Yes!”

“Also, you two, go and tell them…”

Dou Hongyi began to instruct the others to handle matters one by one according to what he had in mind.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to do it all the way!

……

In the inn, Fang Yue was disturbed for the second time.

The person who came was not Dou Hongyi, but Yang Hongxia from Da Yang Prefecture.

“Why are you here?”

Fang Yue was a little surprised.

He had told her the location of the inn he was staying at, so she could come here for help if she encountered danger.

But for her to come in person was a little too conspicuous.
