Searching the Entire City for the Exposer! Intelligence Refreshed!

6: Yesterday, you paid attention to the tenant farmers wronged by Zheng Kecheng and obtained related intelligence. Three tenant farmers were tortured into confessing in prison, four fell ill, and Zheng Kecheng successfully gained an opportunity for advancement. He would be promoted to the Divine Constable Bureau of Youzhou Prefecture in half a year.

7: Yesterday, you successfully advanced to the third-rate martial artist realm and obtained related intelligence. At your current pace, barring accidents, you would enter the second-rate realm in 2,557 days.

8: Yesterday, you buried Du Xiang, master of the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School, and obtained related intelligence. Du Xiang had hidden gold, silver, jewels, and martial arts manuals in Liangzhou. Beneath the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School, he had concealed some silver and the complete Flying Eagle Movement Technique in an underground passage. He died with regrets before he could hand the secret passage key to his children.

9: Yesterday, you conceived the intention of weakening the Chen Family in order to rescue your elder sister, Qin Xuemei, and obtained related intelligence. Chen Xiao, the second younger brother of Chen Family Patriarch Chen Kun, learned that his elder brother Chen Kun might have cultivated the Purple Sunflower Swordplay and become neither man nor woman. He believed that having a eunuch sit as family patriarch disgraced the Chen Family's name. He went to question Chen Kun and was imprisoned by him.

10: Yesterday, you paid attention to the Chen Family of the Four Great Families and obtained related intelligence. Chen Feng, the steward of the Chen Family laundry room, wanted to obtain the eighty taels of settlement silver assigned to Qin Xuemei and three other young girls. He was currently probing Qin Xuemei for information about you.

"Hm?"

"The other three great families of Yan Yun County—the Lin Family, Su Family, and Zhang Family—have all set their sights on the Chen Family? Chen Kun is hunting for the person who exposed him?"

Qin Wang looked at the first piece of intelligence, his gaze flickering.

Wherever there were people, there would be conflict!

Exposing them had been the right move. As long as he kept exposing the Chen Family's weaknesses, and the revelations were explosive enough, the Lin Family, Zhang Family, Su Family, Tianhe Society, and Black River Gang would certainly stomp on them while they were down. In time, the Chen Family would inevitably weaken!

Perhaps the Chen Family would fall apart before the River God Sacrifice even arrived. By then, rescuing his sister would be much easier.

"Loiter around the Chen Family more often and expose them ruthlessly. Make the Chen Family the target of public scorn!"

Qin Wang made up his mind. Once he reached the county seat, he would focus solely on the Chen Family.

"Ji Zhang is searching the entire city for me too?"

"Is he worried about an investigation by the Divine Constable Bureau?"

Qin Wang looked at the second piece of intelligence, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

When Qin Wang had posted the information, he had deliberately worn a large hat and a thick cotton coat, and avoided the night watchmen. He had left no trace at all. They should not be able to trace it back to him.

"The Soul Gathering Bowl requires divine sense to refine? It can actively absorb the souls of the dead?"

Qin Wang blinked as he looked at the fourth piece of intelligence. Divine sense was something only immortality cultivators possessed.

For now, what he could use it for—

was collecting an opponent's soul with the Soul Gathering Bowl after killing them.

That could be considered soul-drawing and spirit-refining!

Li Laocai's soul was inside. Once he refined the Soul Gathering Bowl, he would definitely grant Li Laocai's wish—dig up the grave and whip the corpse before his very soul.

"After the Chen Family's weakness was exposed, Zhang Aofeng, patriarch of the Zhang Family among the Four Great Families, plans to test Chen Kun's true strength tonight?"

Qin Wang's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at the fifth piece of intelligence.

This was a good thing!

It would be best if they fought!

As far as he knew, Zhang Aofeng, patriarch of the Zhang Family, was one of Yan Yun County's five greatest experts, as famous as Chen Kun of the Chen Family!

"That beast Zheng Kecheng is actually going to be promoted to the Divine Constable Bureau in Youzhou Prefecture in half a year?"

"That son of a bitch is climbing upward by stepping on ordinary people. Several tenant farmers were tortured into confessing. Looks like I need to expose how he set fire to his wife's brother's home, wiped out the household, and seized their property, so all of Yan Yun County can see his ugly true face!"

Qin Wang looked at the sixth piece of intelligence and felt that Zheng Kecheng had to be exposed.

Zheng Kecheng was one of Yan Yun County's five greatest experts, as famous as Chen Kun and the others. Though exposing him would not kill him, it would at least make him sick with rage!

At the same time, it could clear the suspicions hanging over those thirteen tenant farmers.

"At my current pace, barring accidents, I'll advance to the second-rate realm in seven years?"

"That's a bit too long!"

Qin Wang looked at the seventh piece of intelligence, deep in thought.

Seven years was too long. He could not wait that long.

But—

he had the Treasure Bowl to purify pills. Perhaps he could shorten that time.

Hadn't the intelligence previously said that it would take him ninety days to reach the third-rate realm?

Yet hadn't he advanced to the third-rate realm already?

"Du Xiang hid gold, silver, jewels, and martial arts manuals in Liangzhou? He also built a secret passage beneath the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School? There's some silver inside, along with the complete Flying Eagle Movement Technique manual?!"

"What a cunning rabbit with three burrows!"

Qin Wang's eyes lit up as he looked at the eighth piece of intelligence. Looks like once I reach the county seat, I'll have to visit the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School and find that secret passage!

With that thought in mind—

Qin Wang pulled out a key of a certain shape from the bundle at his side. He had found it in Du Xiang's clothes. It should be the key to opening the secret passage.

At present, he had only obtained the first three moves of the Flying Eagle Movement Technique. According to the intelligence, the technique should have twelve forms.

As for the things in Liangzhou, those would have to wait until later.

"Chen Kun's second younger brother, Chen Xiao, was imprisoned by Chen Kun?"

"Good!"

"I need to keep exposing them!"

Qin Wang was delighted by the ninth piece of intelligence.

"Chen Feng, the steward of the Chen Family laundry room?"

"What a piece of work. He won't even spare such a small sum of silver!"

"If I get the chance, I'll kill that dog!"

Qin Wang's gaze turned cold as he looked at the tenth piece of intelligence!

"It would be better if this silver were banknotes."

"I'll take two hundred and fifty taels with me first. I'll bury the rest!"

After checking the intelligence, Qin Wang looked at the silver and frowned.

One thousand two hundred and fifty taels of silver weighed close to a hundred jin. With the strength of a third-rate martial artist, he could carry it, but the city guards would inspect large bundles at the gates. So much silver would be difficult to explain.

He buried one thousand taels in the kitchen's wood storage room. If it was not enough, he could come back for more.

The next day.

Qin Wang had just risen and washed up. Carrying two hundred and fifty taels of silver, the Treasure Bowl, the Soul Gathering Bowl, and his Travel Permit, he was preparing to leave.

"Big Brother, this is for you. Eat it on the road."

But Bai Fenghuan came running over, holding a bundle. Her little face was flushed as she stuffed it into Qin Wang's arms.

"Th-this is too kind of you."

Qin Wang felt somewhat apologetic as he looked at Bai Fenghuan, who had come all this way just for him.

He might never visit Hundred Herbs Hall again, yet she had still come to see him off.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? You were the first person to buy me candied hawthorns and chestnuts!"

"Grandpa said you have the same disposition as my father, so he told me to come see you off."

Bai Fenghuan looked at Qin Wang. When she mentioned her father, her expression suddenly darkened.

Seeing the look on Bai Fenghuan's face, Qin Wang said no more. He put away the bundle and walked down Qingniu Town's streets, with Bai Fenghuan following behind him.

"Little Huan, when I come back next time, I'll bring you delicious food from the county seat."

Qin Wang turned and spoke to Bai Fenghuan, who was skipping along behind him.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Alright, then I'll wait for you! It's a promise!"

"It's a promise!"

At one in the afternoon.

Qin Wang returned to the house he rented in the eastern part of the city.

He set down his things and hid the silver.

Inside the room, Qin Wang checked the ash he had scattered on the floor before leaving. It was still undisturbed, so no one had come. He immediately relaxed, then looked at the street outside and muttered, "Looks like I'll need to hold off on exposing them for a while."

After entering the city—

he had heard people discussing how members of the Chen Family, constables from the Arrest Bureau, and disciples of the Black River Gang were all searching for the person who had exposed them.

The Chen Family and the Black River Gang in particular looked as though they would not rest until they caught the exposer.

Though the Chen Family and Black River Gang could not find out who had exposed them, they would certainly come out at night to keep watch.

"I'll go to Tongrentang Pharmacy and ask whether they're taking on medicine apprentices. While I'm at it, I'll take a look around the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School, the Four Great Families, Tianhe Society, and Black River Gang."

Having made up his mind, Qin Wang headed out.
