Chapter 93: Chapter 74 The "Slapping" Noise in the Government Office! Busy with General’s Duties, if Not..._3

This case, if handled well, won’t bring much money.

If handled poorly, one will have to answer for it.

If it wasn’t because he was promoted solely by Jian Yinsan, he really would’ve thrown in the towel.

Arriving at the government office, he rallied his men and prepared to set off.

Suddenly, he heard the whinnying of a fine horse nearby, and several figures galloped away.

Qiu Longgang asked, "Which government office’s people are those?"

The General beside him answered, "Seems like it’s Hundred Households Chen from the Ding Fire Department leading a team out on a case."

"Chen Mo? Seems like he’s in a hurry."

Qiu Longgang’s red lips curled into a sneer, "You’re stepping in to nurse the issue after the child has died; with so many unsolved and botched cases, I don’t believe you can handle them all! You deserve it for tarnishing my reputation!"

"Hmph, let’s go!"

"Yes!"

...

Linglan County is about five hundred li from Tiandu City.

This time, Chen Mo only brought Li Yuan, Qin Shou, and five assistant officers, traveling light to arrive at the county town before noon.

Unlike the agriculturally dominated Tongling County, Lingli County was much more prosperous due to its location adjacent to the Canglan River, with a highly developed fishing industry and river trade, making it an important economic town under the jurisdiction of Tiandu City.

At the city gate, the queues of merchant caravans stretched long.

The gate guards checked each one carefully for suspicious figures and contraband, occasionally sending someone away in disgrace.

"It’s not usually this strict entering the city."

"A lot of people have gone missing recently, it’s become quite the issue."

"Some say it’s the work of a Demon Ghost..."

Clip-clop, clip-clop—

Just then, the rapid sound of horse hooves approached.

Several figures rode past the long queue and came to the gate guards.

One of them showed a waist badge, and the gate guards hurriedly saluted, bowing to lead the group into the city.

"How can they cut in line, no manners at all!" a young man complained discontentedly.
