Song Qinghan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Dagou and Ergou calmly, and then uttered in a low voice, “So tell us who else you have seen these days, I’d better help you search around the big Yueban City to see if they exist.”

Dagou and Ergou exchanged their glances, pulling teeth.

Well, they indeed knew nothing because they were rather idle when they lived in Song Qinghan’s house. They wouldn’t know even if someone really once visited here, let alone the fact that what they confessed in fact was an excuse they fabricated.

And they definitely shouldn’t expose the reason why they fabricated, or otherwise these wrathful villagers might chose to vent their anger on them instead of Song Qinghan.

“Mmmm… I saw a barbarian! I remember that there was a barbarian once appeared in this house, tall and strong, and seems to be quite good at martial skills!”

Song Qinghan got tense suddenly when he heard so, but relaxed again when he heard their making further explanation over it. He sneered, “Does there exist any barbarians who are shorter? Furthermore, as for those who are able to wander within the Yueban City, should they get profound martial skills to support them to survive here? Well, what you just said might be a tactic to hoax someone who isn’t smart enough.”

Hearing so, the villagers finally gave up bothering Song Qinghan with Dagou and Ergou’s confession, or they might be the one who wasn’t smart enough as Song Qinghan mentioned.

However, it would be impossible for them not to find something else since it was a long journey from their village to here. The leader among the villagers rolled his eyes, and then came to say as if something occurred to him suddenly in mind, “It’s still an unchangeable fact that you should be to blame no matter what once happened. We are going to stay here if you don’t give us a satisfying answer.”

A coldness flashed across Song Qinghan’s eyes. He responded in a leisurely manner, “What ‘satisfying’ answer do you want from me since the mixed-race man had already disappeared.”

“Pay us ten thousand silver coins, or let’s meet in court!”

The leader among the villagers answered quickly, as if he had already negotiated with the Head Villager before he came over.

Song Qinghan shook his head while smiling, seemingly he never expected that the other party would want nothing but coins.

Just as he was about to wave his hand to motion Hualian to take the pack of coins, the sound of the Grand Coordinator sounded behind the group of villagers.

“What kind of stuff is that which is worth a compensation of ten thousand silver coins?”

All the villagers hurried to turned their heads, they were all quick shocked when they saw the Grand Coordinator. They stood still dumbfounded as if they never knew that the man was a venerable one. It was not until Zhuxiu shouted and urged them to withdraw did they realize the seriousness of this matter.

The Grand Coordinator walked over slowly, and then stood in front of that leader among the villagers, “Say it, I feel totally annoyed if I have to repeat my question.”

Even though the Grand Coordinator now was still as weak as a piece of fallen leaf with his complexion wax-yellow, his heroic temperament which he collected from his experience was rather incomparable. So with that fierce interrogation, the leader couldn’t help but make a lowly bow while answering timidly, “The, the mongrel we were about to burn escaped, it was, it was his intention to do so. Right, we came here for that explanation…”

At the moment the Grand Coordinator heard the word ‘mongrel’, his eyebrows trembled slightly. No one knew whether he thought of something or not.

“Isn’t it the duty for our officials to make a survey? Why are you getting involved? Or do you think that we are impotent to make that?”

Of course the leader didn’t dare to answer with a ‘yes’ to this question. He shook his head violently, and then hurried to answer, “Of course not, we… we just don’t want to bother the officials…”

The Grand Coordinator didn’t seem to just let him go, he continued, “Then what’s wrong with that ‘ten thousand silver coins’ deal? Do you really think that you are able to replace the bandits to rob and bully?”

Even though the Grand Coordinator remained his calmness on face, with his tone peaceful and chill, the man in front felt rather stressful currently as if he was about to die away with that suffocating ambience. He felt his back was stiff and he almost failed to get it straightened, with awkwardness he attempted to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead while responding anxiously, “We’re so sorry and it was all our stupid mistake, Lord, please spare our lives!”

The Grand Coordinator glanced at Zhuxiu and gave him a sign. Zhuxiu then turned to look at the group and shouted, “Not next time, do you understand?”

After being informed with that news, all the villagers came to sigh with relief, they exchanged glances and then hurried to flee away.

Song Qinghan did not choose to stop them fleeing, he just stared at Dagou and Ergou for a while until the two started shivering.

After all the villagers left, Song Qinghan turned to look at the Grand Coordinator, making a bow with both hands folded in front and asking, “Lord, is it possible for me to get to know the intention of you being here?”

The Grand Coordinator took a glance at Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu, and then uttered suddenly, “Let’s get inside and talk about it.”

Song Qinghan paused. He didn’t know what secrets the Grand Coordinator wanted to tell them which required to be negotiated inside.

Even though he had thousands of question lingered in his mind currently, he still responded in timely manner and led the Grand Coordinator alone to the study.

After they were inside the study, the Grand Coordinator suddenly spoke to them while standing with his back the two, ” In fact, I had once asked Lianyue a question.”

For some reason, Song Qinghan got tense all of a sudden when he heard so, and he got a bad premonition in his mind.

“What question?” Song Qinghan sounded.

The Grand Coordinator turned around, and then looked at Song Qinghan peacefully in the eyes, “I asked him whether he put the jade-like gadget around his chest or not.”

Song Qinghan’s eyebrows twitched as if he didn’t understand the logic behind this question. He then answered in a hesitant manner, “So what?”

The Grand Coordinator didn’t make a further explanation over the detail, but reached out to take out the gadget, and then spoke calmly, “This is called Han Stone, it’s nothing strange when you just touch it. But it in fact posts a threat rather than benefit to human health. Probably the effect of it is negligible when it impact on a normal person. But if it is a femina man in pregnancy… He should have felt something wrong within one week.”

The atmosphere seemed to be frozen all of a sudden when the Grand Coordinator informed them something like that. Even though Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu did not exchange their glances at all, they could still sense that the other party must be quite nervous in mind.

But Song Qinghan didn’t reply immediately because he wasn’t sure if this was just verbal trick or not from the Grand Coordinator, he just came to answer, “Is that true? We don’t know it at all, probably Lianyue messed his own memories.”

The Grand Coordinator put the gadget away, staring at the two plainly, and then uttered again, “I don’t know what you have done to force Lianyue to take the responsibility. But you’d better know that I am able to alter the trend of the whole matter if I wish.”

Song Qinghan pursed his lips, as if he did not expect that the Grand Coordinator would be so ‘foxy’.

They were supposed to possess the upper hand and threatened the Grand Coordinator, but now it seemed that everything just reversed suddenly.

However, that did not mean that everything finally came to its end on this whole matter. It was obviously that the Grand Coordinator got something to negotiate with him, otherwise he wouldn’t have talked too much with them.

Song Qinghan calmed down, and then asked, “Lord, please feel free to say what you want us to get informed. We will do our best to do that.”

The patrol glanced at him and suddenly asked, “Even if it is not a good news to you?”

Song Qinghan was stunned. He had no idea why the Grand Coordinator would say that purposely, but he still nodded in hesitation, while answering in a soft tone, “If faced with two disadvantageous options, we should choose the lighter one. I know what I should do.”

It seemed that the Grand Coordinator was quite satisfied with such an answer, he paused and then made an order with a serious look, “I want you and Wu Dahu officially announce to accept Lianyue in your family as a concubine.”
