Chapter 1344: The Highest Realm of Trash Torture (3)

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Eldest Young Master? Did you just come back?”

Steward Chang walked over with a lantern and took a look. He said in surprise, “Are you injured? Did something happen?”

Xiahou Zheng said without changing his expression, “It’s fine. I bumped into two thieves on the way. It’s so late. Where are you planning to go?”

Steward Chang sighed and said, “Sigh, isn’t it because the two phoenixes refuse to eat? The City Lord asked me to go to the Hundred Flowers Palace and ask how to feed them.”

When had his foster father ever cared about a few birds?

Second Brother had raised so many birds, but his foster father had never taken a look.

Because they were chosen by Yun Lin, he treated them as a treasures.

Xiahou Zheng was jealous again, but he said gently, “It’s difficult to move at night. Steward Chang, let the carriage move slower.”

“Aye,” Steward Chang agreed with a smile. He thought of something and said, “Ah, right, the City Lord was looking for Eldest Young Master just now.”

Xiahou Zheng smiled and said, “Godfather, why are you looking for me?”

Steward Chang said, “I think it’s something to do with Second Grandfather. Second Grandfather’s courtyard went through water and needs to rest again. I originally wanted to look for Second Young Master, but I don’t know where he went the entire night. I couldn’t find him when I needed someone. It’s really… ahem.”

As if realizing that he had said too much, Steward Chang smiled awkwardly. “I’ll leave first.”

Xiahou Zheng nodded and went to Xiahou Qing.

Xiahou Qing asked about his injuries.

His answer was the same as before. He only said that he had encountered two thieves.

Xiahou Qing asked, “Where did you go just now?”

Xiahou Zheng replied, “I went to catch the arsonist.”

“Did you catch him?”

“Foster Father, no.”

Xiahou Qing stopped talking.

Xiahou Zheng felt that the atmosphere was strange. For a moment, he suspected that he had exposed himself.

However, on careful thought, he felt that it was impossible.

“Foster Father, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go to Granduncle’s place to see how he is resting in his courtyard.”

“Stop right there.”

Xiahou Qing stopped him.

Xiahou Zheng hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed. “Godfather, do you have any other instructions?”

Xiahou Qing asked indifferently, “Have you forgotten something?”

“Yes?”

Xiahou Zheng looked at his adoptive father in confusion.

Xiahou Qing raised his hand. “Someone, search.”

Xiahou Zheng’s expression changed. “Godfather!”

He subconsciously struggled, but he was instantly suppressed by Elder Hai at the door.

Xiahou Zheng knelt on the ground unable to move.

The guard went forward and found a small treasure map in his arms.

Xiahou Qing put it together with the piece that his second brother had given him. It was exactly half a seam.

It seemed that it was not Second Brother who was scheming. It was the eldest who did it. Even he, as a father, could not believe it!

Seeing this, Xiahou Zheng understood everything. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Second Brother had long returned and accused him in front of his adoptive father!

Be it the guards at the door or Steward Chang, they had deliberately hidden Second Brother’s whereabouts.

From the moment he entered the City Lord Manor, his foster father had been testing him!

He clenched his fists and said, “Foster Father! Listen to my explanation! The treasure map belongs to Second Brother! I bumped into Second Brother today who obtained half of the treasure map! Second Brother even said that the one in your hand is fake. He wanted to take the real treasure map for himself! I had to fight with all my injuries to snatch half of it from him!”

Xiahou Qing had given him a chance.

He was the one who did not want it.

He had hidden it first. No one would believe him even if he told the truth now.

Moreover, Xie Jinnian had already said these words once.

Xiahou Zheng was extremely wronged and roared, “Foster Father! What I said is true! Believe me! I’m not lying to you! It’s really Xiahou Jin! It’s him! He set everything up! Foster Father!”

Xiahou Qing said angrily, “Don’t call me Foster Father! I don’t have a disloyal and unfilial son like you! Someone! Bring him to the dungeon! Interrogate him strictly! You must find out the whereabouts of the remaining half of the treasure map!”

Where was the other half?

He didn’t have it!

Xiahou Zheng’s grievance and injustice piled up to the extreme.

Seeing that he was about to lose his mind, Elder Hai sealed his internal strength in time.

He instantly fell, and right on the heels of that, he was carried out by two guards.

On the way to the dungeon, he met Xie Jinnian, who was waiting for him by the pathway.

Xie Jinnian said politely to the guard, “Can you allow me to say a few words to Big Brother?”

The two guards exchanged glances. One of them said, “Second Young Master, please hurry.”

The two of them retreated to the side.

Xie Jinnian said calmly, “Brother, this is what I mean by watching the scene.”

Xiahou Zheng was so angry that he wanted to kill Second Brother, but his internal strength was sealed and he was easily restrained by the guard beside Second Brother.

Xiahou Zheng gritted his teeth and said, “Why? I just framed you a little and didn’t succeed. Why did you have to be so ruthless?”

Xie Jinnian smiled calmly. “Because I don’t like to leave things undone when I deal with people.”
