Yusheng today of her own will left for qinwang manor. As she knew he was very busy. To share the information and plan she had to meet him.
Hence she entered his manor on low key. For some strange reason the servants seemed to excited, happy and even relifed upon seeing her.
How would she know that because of being buried in work and not able to meet Yusheng had made Pei Jin more irritable. No one dared to enter the room for the fear of being frozen or die.
All the shadow guards were under immense pressure and had been punished several times for their incompetence of extracting information.
Tao felt as if his life has shortened by a year each day as he served his master who now was only left to materialize into demon form. Hearing that Yusheng had come he felt as hope has arrived.
With fawning smile with eyes full of grievances he led her to his masters study hinting time and again how his master was angry, over stressed and over worked. Hoping she could save them from this demonic sitauation.
Even shadow guards were praying inside their heart that she had some progress so they could be able to take some breathes. Unknown to her the entire qinwang manor had placed high hopes and prayers for her to be able to make their master revert back to more humane.
He was lost in the mountain of information when he suddenly smells the scent of Yusheng. Jerking his head he sees her standing on the door. Rushing to her side he hugged her fiercely to confirm she was not an illusion. Then he ushered her inside the room slamming the door on Taos face.
Poor tao could only scratch his nose and doodle in the ground with his toes like a pouting child then sighing heavily goes to order the kitchen to prepare tea snacks and grand lunch.
Inside Pei Jin was sticking onto her like a leech, not forgetting to give pecks everywhere. Having enough she settles him down saying she has important issue to discuss. Though he wanted to keep sticking onto her but relented at the end as she must have something important to discuss.
Finally sitting more comfortably on the recliner with him opposite to her she shares all the information she had gained "here is the painting of that man, though the features would surely differ but some features always remain same. Like the eyes, nose and mouth. Though difficult but not impossible to find him.
I already have people send with enough preparation to catch the prey, so you don't need to worry about this matter. Now with these findings we can narrow down the timeline making it easier to find the person within.
According to the information the person had managed to learn to make the pill at the end of his second year. Thus he had the women and his child killed to have a way out.
You have to narrow the time to seven years back. Search for the admittance of new servants, or anything strange that took place in that time. Find the logs of that year where servants have recorded their entry and exit in the palace. Check how many servants were relieved of their duty, died or dissapeared from that time till now.
You will find the mole for sure, unless that person had somehow bribed the book keepers or the book keeper himself is the supporting role. Have all the book keepers information drawn out. I think by tomorrow you will find the information of the person dead or alive. "
Pei Jin listened her every word very seriously, then he cupped her face "you have worked hard, make sure not to tire yourself for these cats and dogs.
Though not the person but I found out lot's of dirty secrets, some are serious but some are petty but enough have them lose some skin."
Yusheng held his hands gently "more than me you are the one who is tired, don't disregard your health. I feel even if we manage to find the mole, it will not link to the persons we want for now.
So, let's have their leash loosened for to have thouroghly strangled for later. We will decide which trap to set after we find the mole while I will have my people find the person.
If we don't let them take breather then it won't be fun. I also have more dramas with them as the character. Don't worry even if let loose they won't have peace. For the future we have to clean all the trashes that has piled up inside the court.
Bring the mole to me I have a nice place readied for him or her. I take my leave, have some unfinished business."
Though very unwilling both had to part as there were things that had to be done. But with clues Pei Jin was confident to finish his work sooner. Thinking how he can stick to her after the work is done he became more light hearted his mood improving.
Tao who was prepared to fish for compliments for his arrangement of a grand lunch felt like crying. But sensing that his master was now in a good mood felt happy.
