Chapter 605 Seeking
After a night, no suspicious traces were found. The little thief seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, which was really incredible.
On the contrary, Fan Yilin's decision made many officials furious.
After all, they have official positions. Fan Yilin's behavior now doesn't take them seriously. Although the higher-ranking official can indeed kill people, if they just swallow their anger, will they still have the attitude to meet people in the future?
Besides, this is not just one or two people. When so many small officials gather together to report together, even the governor cannot ignore it. They must be cautious.
After they discussed it together, they immediately went to the prefect to report the matter together, and they must be seeking justice for what they had happened last night!
And Fan Yilin is really exhausted now.
Not only was the loss of the account book, but these ungrateful guys also caused trouble for themselves, and then had to deal with their father's punishment, which made him feel a little suspicious. Why was he so unlucky during this period of time? No good thing happened...
In the early morning, he was sitting at the desk in the study, listening to his subordinates' reports with a gloomy expression, and his fingertips were knocking on the table with some impatientness.
"Have you found it yet?" His eyes turned to General Manager Yu, who was lowering his head, with a bit of hoarseness in his voice.
"When you say that, we can take a look overnight, but we still can't even find a shadow..." Manager Yu said in a singular manner, but he still didn't dare to tell what happened to him that he met ghosts and gods last night, for fear that he would be implicated.
"What a bunch of waste!"
Fan Yilin immediately cursed angrily, but these words had already been scolded enough last night. Instead of scolding these subordinates, it would be better to think about how to minimize the losses.
This is also his most troublesome thing at the moment.
General Manager Yu glanced at him secretly, then quickly lowered his head and said carefully: "Young Master, the officials who were disturbed last night went to the prefect's office to complain this morning. I guess the master will know soon, I'm afraid..."
"I understand, I'm afraid this matter can't be hidden from my father."
Fan Yilin slowly closed his eyes and tried to calm his anxious mood as much as possible. Then he slowly opened his eyes with deep eyes.
"The mobs don't need to worry about them. The affairs of my Fan family are much more important than them. I will go to see my father in person later to explain the stolen account book this time."
"It's important, I can only listen to what my father will make a decision."
Now it is the limit he can do. With his official position and connections, he can no longer stop the situation from deteriorating, so he naturally can only turn to his father for help.
But in this way, I will definitely not be less punished.
But at least it is better than the situation where the Fan family finally fell.
As he was talking, he suddenly remembered something and said in a deep voice: "Where is that master? I asked him to come and see me, and I said that it was a recurrence of the old illness. I asked him to calm my mind for me."
The sudden situation this night made him feel a little restless again, and the situation was much worse than before.
He invited the monk to take charge in the mansion, naturally to prevent this from happening.
But the answer he received next surprised him.
"Young Master, I heard from the people that the monk had left without saying goodbye last night, and no one knew where he went..." General Manager Yu looked up at Fan Yilin's gradually frowning brows, and quickly continued to ask tentatively, "Or I'll send someone to invite him back immediately!"
"Leave?!"
Fan Yilin felt a little strange.
After all, I think the other party is a capable expert, so I have always treated the other party well, offering delicious food and drink, and I have nothing to do with it. Why did I leave suddenly?
He vaguely felt something was wrong...
"Forget it, since that person doesn't like my Fan family, I don't have to force him to keep him." Fan Yilin shook his head slightly, stood up and planned to walk out, "It's more important to search for the whereabouts of the account book..."
But just as he was about to step away, he suddenly felt a strange thing, which made him pause and frown.
last night?
How could it be such a coincidence...
Once the account book is lost, the monk disappears?
He slowly turned around and looked at General Manager Yu, his eyes showing a bit of solemnity: "Will the monk's departure be related to the stolen account book?"
Manager Yu was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that there was something reasonable.
...
And just as they were discussing, the monk they mentioned, Fahai, was walking through the crowded street market as usual, heading towards a certain mansion.
He came here today to ask the other party to take him to meet the creator of "The Legend of the White Snake" before he went to fulfill his wish and saw if he could get the whereabouts of the white snake from him.
If there is, it is naturally the best. If there is no, he can only find another method to see if other people with the same righteous path will have any clues.
The Young Master Yang originally wanted to discuss with Su Zhirou and see if he had a chance to meet him. Now that the monk looked like he was about to leave, he did not continue to wait and planned to take him to the door to ask for a meeting. After all, he himself was very curious about the creator.
Immediately, he took Fahai on the carriage and went to the Su family. After asking someone to inform him, he finally met Su Zhirou.
"Miss Su, I'm still very grateful to you for your recommendation this time. I'll come here next time and want to meet the creator behind the scenes!" Mr. Yang was quite polite at this time and bowed and said with a respectful look.
However, Su Zhirou shook her head in embarrassment.
"President, it's not that I don't want to meet you, but that person has a weird temper and doesn't want to meet others. I've also told you many times before, but they were all rejected."
I thought the other party would show a disappointed expression, but this time the other party smiled confidently.
"But this time I believe it will be different, because I am not the only one who wants to see you, but also this monk."
"Monk?"
Su Zhirou's eyes fell on the monk who had not made any sound. She didn't understand it. She looked at the other party carefully, but didn't think anything unusual.
Until she learned the other party's Dharma name from her, she couldn't help but look surprised.
...
Du Bai was flipping through the books stolen from the Fan family in the room, reading them one by one, and gaining a deeper understanding of the Fan family's boldness.
Taking out a few of them here is probably enough to make the Fan family's head fall into several rounds.
It’s no wonder that the Fan family had such a big deal last night and this morning.
