Chapter 1333: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl

 Chapter 1333: Spreading throughout Jiangyuan County


Shu Yu and her group stood inside the estate, facing a courtyard that appeared desolate after months of neglect.


The courtyard was now covered in tall grass, and a thin layer of dust had settled on the windowsills.


"Most of the things here have been moved out. When manager Guo left, he even took away some large items. Apart from the stone tables and benches that couldn't be moved, there is nothing left behind as potential clues," Shu Yu said as she walked inside, leading Qi Lie. "They are very cautious in their actions, and the Black Market holds many secrets. They must have destroyed everything before leaving. Ah Yun and I have come here twice before, but we found nothing."


She led Qi Lie to the two secret rooms, saying, "These are the secret rooms. Would you like to take a look inside, Your Excellency?"


Qi Lie nodded, and Shu Yu pressed a switch to open the door.


His two subordinates entered first, while Shu Yu remained outside, saying, "Your Excellency, if you have any business, you can handle it first. This estate is quite large, and we won't be able to finish searching it in a short time. It seems we will have to spend the night here. If you need anything, feel free to come to the estate and find me. I'll have Ying Xi bring some food for you later."


"Thank you," Qi Lie replied.


Shu Yu left, and Qi Lie's group continued their search.


However, as Shu Yu had said, manager Guo was a meticulous person. Since he was selling the estate, how could he possibly leave anything behind that could be used as evidence?


Qi Lie searched for a whole day and then again the next day, but he ended up leaving the mountain with an unsightly expression.

Seeing his expression, Shu Yu knew there was no progress. She poured tea for her group and asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to continue searching?"


Qi Lie shook his head, "No need. I came with only a glimmer of hope. There are no clues in Jiangyuan County; we can only start from other Black Markets."


He took a sip of tea and raised his head, saying, "If Lu Xiangjun finds anything, please inform me promptly."


"Alright."


Qi Lie provided Shu Yu with a special contact method, as his contact with the capital through Xiang Weinan would soon be cut off, as Xiang Weinan would be returning to the capital.


After Qi Lie bid his farewell and returned to the county office to prepare to leave, Xiang Weinan still couldn't leave. The new county magistrate had yet to arrive, so he had to wait for the handover before he could depart.


Shu Yu loaded the ten barrels of sunflower oil onto the cart, and Qi Lie took them directly.


As soon as he left the city gate, news of Shu Yu selling sunflower oil to the palace spread throughout Jiangyuan County.


Everyone learned that Shu Yu had taken her business directly to the palace.


People who were previously hesitant quickly filled the entrance of the Lu family, and the doorman couldn't even collect all the greeting cards.
