Chapter 650: Busted (Added for rewards from the book friend "Imperial Guard: Rong Rong")

County Magistrate Tang heaved a silent sigh of relief and, without changing his expression, glanced at the lotus pond.

It appeared that those people knew their place; they had picked the lotus heads but had not left the pond a complete mess. Otherwise, it would have been immediately obvious that the pond had been vandalized…

County Magistrate Tang's face darkened bit by bit, and he hurried after Landlord Bai.

The bailiffs trailing behind County Magistrate Tang didn't share his intelligence, but unlike him, this one had just escorted the servants from Landlord Bai's household to inspect the property two days prior. He remembered the pond was full of lotus heads at that time.

But now…

He kept looking back, feeling that the lotus heads in the pond seemed much fewer than before…

Landlord Bai reached a disorderly patch and furrowed his brow slightly, pointing to a few plots and asking, "Is this where the thief planted vegetables?"

"Exactly."
