Intel Updated! Li Laocai Cannot Enter Reincarnation!

Li Family Manor.

Front Hall.

Zheng Kecheng sat imposingly before a table in the hall, reading the case files in his hands.

"Chief Constable, there are currently fourteen suspects in the arson case. Aside from Qin Wang, whom Doctor Bai vouched for, the rest are farmers with financial entanglements with Master Li. How should we handle them?"

At that moment, Constable Lin Bao, a long saber hanging at his waist, entered and respectfully cupped his fists toward Zheng Kecheng.

"Are there any other leads?"

Zheng Kecheng fell silent for a moment before asking.

"Chief Constable, not at present."

Lin Bao said in a deep voice.

"Take all thirteen suspects to the county city for interrogation. Continue investigating thoroughly!"

"We will not rest until the arsonist is caught!"

Zheng Kecheng said darkly.

As for Qin Wang, he would give Bai Mingliang some face and let it go.

"Yes, Chief Constable!"

Lin Bao cupped his fists, turned, and left.

Zheng Kecheng watched Lin Bao's retreating back, his gaze flickering.

Night.

Qin Wang continued practicing Ancestor's Long Fist until dawn.

Since activating the Intelligence Panel, he had gotten into the habit of waiting for the daily intel to update at midnight before going to sleep.

Ding!

Daily Intel Has Been Updated!

Today's Intel

1: You met Zheng Kecheng yesterday and obtained related intel. In order to smoothly inherit Li Laocai's farmland, shops, and property, Zheng Kecheng killed Li Tianyi and the First Madam late at night, then set fire to destroy the corpses and erase the evidence. Today, he will escort the thirteen arson suspects other than you to the county city for interrogation. Three of the farmers will become scapegoats for the arson case!

2: You harbored hatred toward Zheng Kecheng for having you arrested and developed killing intent, obtaining related intel. In the wall cabinet of a secluded residence in northern Yan Yun County City, where Zheng Kecheng keeps a beauty in a golden house, there is a manual of internal cultivation.

3: You planned to attend Li Laocai's funeral feast yesterday and obtained related intel. Li Laocai's younger sister, Li Chunxia, has been poisoned with a slow-acting poison and will die in 566 days.

4: You met county yamen Constable Lin Bao yesterday and obtained related intel. Lin Bao knows that his wife is having an affair with Chief Constable Zheng Kecheng, but pretends not to know while waiting for an opportunity to kill Zheng Kecheng. However, he knows he is no match for Zheng Kecheng and has not found a good opportunity.

5: You met county yamen Constable Wang Jiang yesterday and obtained related intel. Wang Jiang is actually Human Rank Assassin No. 99 of Blood Kill Hall, Great Cang's third-largest assassin organization. His goal is to find the daughter of the Phoenix Yao Saintess, who was stranded in the Great Cang Kingdom thirteen years ago.

6: Doctor Bai vouched for you yesterday, and you felt deeply grateful to him, obtaining related intel. Doctor Bai misses his son dearly and hopes to see him once in his lifetime, though he knows this may be nothing more than a vain wish.

7: You met candied hawthorn peddler Yu Yunchang yesterday and obtained related intel. Half a month ago, while gathering hawthorn berries in Qingniu Mountain, Yu Yunchang picked up a copper bowl covered in verdigris in a mountain ravine. Thinking he could sell it for some money, he brought it home, only for misfortune to strike his family again and again, causing considerable losses. Believing it to be an ominous object, Yu Yunchang took it back to a valley in Qingniu Mountain and discarded it once more.

8: You went to Li Family Manor yesterday and obtained related intel. Li Laocai hid five hundred taels of silver ingots one zhang east of the latrine, underground.

9: You met Zheng Kecheng yesterday and obtained related intel. Zheng Kecheng is unwilling to remain merely the Chief Constable of a county city and wants to rise further. After taking over Li Family Manor's property, he plans to go to Youzhou Prefecture to make some connections.

10: You went to Li Family Manor yesterday and obtained related intel. After Li Laocai's family died, their souls were trapped by a Soul Gathering Bowl beneath the manor grounds, unable to enter reincarnation.

"At last, it refreshed!"

Qin Wang looked at the Intelligence Panel, anticipation appearing in his eyes.

"Hm?"

"So Zheng Kecheng really was the arsonist!"

"What a beast in human skin!"

Qin Wang looked at the first piece of intel, shock filling his eyes.

The earlier intel had shown that Zheng Kecheng had his eye on Li Laocai's estate. He had not expected that Zheng Kecheng truly had burned Li Laocai's son and the First Madam to death!

The only thing Qin Wang regretted was that, among the thirteen farmers with financial entanglements with Li Laocai, three would be forced into confessing and made scapegoats.

He was not yet Zheng Kecheng's match.

There was nothing he could do to help them.

"Zheng Kecheng is keeping a beauty in a golden house?"

"And there's a manual of internal cultivation in that secluded residence?"

"Looks like I'll have to make time for a trip to the county city!"

Qin Wang's eyes lit up as he looked at the second piece of intel.

This was truly good news.

At present, he only had Ancestor's Long Fist. If he could obtain a manual of internal cultivation, that would be wonderful.

Qin Wang had always longed for internal cultivation.

He, too, wanted peerless Lightness Skill, to fly over eaves and walk on walls, to split boulders with a single palm, to possess cultivation that overshadowed the world, and to command the winds and clouds with a wave of his hand!

"Li Laocai's younger sister Li Chunxia was poisoned with a slow-acting poison? She'll die in 566 days?"

"Could Zheng Kecheng be behind this too?"

Qin Wang looked at the third piece of intel and thought to himself.

After all.

The intel showed that Zheng Kecheng had kept a beauty in a golden house in the city and gotten rid of his original wife. It was entirely possible.

"The constable Lin Bao who came to arrest me yesterday actually got cuckolded? Miserable!"

Qin Wang skipped over the fourth piece of intel and looked at the fifth, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes as he muttered, "The Phoenix Yao Saintess's daughter?"

This was the second time he had received intel concerning the Phoenix Yao Saintess.

"Doctor Bai misses his son? Seeing him even once is a vain wish?"

Qin Wang looked at the sixth piece of intel, his eyes thoughtful.

In his memories, Doctor Bai had always been at Hundred Herbs Hall with his granddaughter. His son seemed to have left more than ten years ago.

"Huh?"

"Candied hawthorn peddler Yu Yunchang picked up a copper bowl covered in verdigris in a ravine on Qingniu Mountain? It brought repeated misfortune upon his family? What kind of bowl is that?"

Qin Wang's heart stirred as he looked at the seventh piece of intel.

A bowl that brought people misfortune—perhaps he could get it and bury it at Zheng Kecheng's home, so that man would have rotten luck!

"Li Laocai hid silver too?"

"Underground, one zhang east of the latrine?"

"That makes 1,350 taels of silver altogether!"

"I have to find a chance to get my hands on it!"

Qin Wang's eyes lit up as he looked at the eighth piece of intel.

"Damn it, Zheng Kecheng still wants to climb higher? That bastard really will live a thousand years and keep bringing disaster!"

"Once he inherits Li Family Manor's property, he'll head to Youzhou Prefecture? When he leaves, I can go to his house and take that manual of internal cultivation!"

Qin Wang's gaze flickered as he secretly made plans.

"Li Laocai's whole family died, and their souls were trapped by a Soul Gathering Bowl beneath the manor, unable to enter reincarnation?"

"There's actually such a ghostly thing beneath Li Family Manor?"

Qin Wang stared at the tenth piece of intel, deep shock appearing in his eyes.

No wonder the earlier intel had said that Li Family Manor became a haunted place after six people died there. So there was a Soul Gathering Bowl in the manor!

"Li Laocai deserved it!"

"He did evil all his life, and now he can't even be reincarnated!"

Satisfaction appeared in Qin Wang's eyes. Seeing his enemy die so miserably, and then getting to attend his funeral feast today—what a grand delight in life!

After reading the intel, Qin Wang fell asleep at once.

The next day.

Hundred Herbs Hall.

When Qin Wang arrived, he found the front door closed, so he immediately went around to the back entrance.

"Big Brother, Grandpa said today is the day Li Laocai and his family are being buried. Lots of people from all over Qingniu Town will go to the funeral feast, so Hundred Herbs Hall is closed for the day. Grandpa told us to go eat at the feast. Are you going?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't I go when there's good food?"

Qin Wang nodded. Killing Li Laocai and then going to eat at his funeral feast gave him quite a sense of accomplishment. He could also scout the place out while he was there.
