Chapter 1917 Return to Kali Town
Chen Changli spoke softly, stretched out his hand, and interlocked his fingers with Wan Shufang's with his warm big palm. There was a doting smile in his eyes, which made Wan Shufang's ears blush uncontrollably, and she coughed.
"What else?"
"Cali town."
Hearing the words Kali Town, Wan Shufang was slightly startled, then she thought of something and calmed down: "It's time to go and solve it."
It has been a while since they left Cali Town. They have been running around these days, which has made her temporarily forget about the troubles in Cali Town.
The carriage headed south, and when it was getting dark, the two arrived at Kali Town. When they returned to the familiar small courtyard, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were surprised to see that Harijula had not left yet.
"Harijula, you are still in Kali Town?"
As the king of a region, Harijula should have returned to the palace now that the crisis in Kali Town had been resolved. When Harijula saw the two of them, she was also very confused: "Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, didn't you two go back? Why are you back again?"
Hearing this, Chen Changli led Wan Shufang into the yard and explained calmly, "There is still no clue about the treasure. We can't rest assured. We rushed back after solving the problem. We want to find out the truth about this matter."
"That's true." Harijula nodded, showing an understanding look, and replied with a smile: "I was going to leave, but thinking that the crisis in Kali Town had just been resolved and the internal situation was still chaotic, as the king of this place, I couldn't bear to let the people suffer, so I stayed."
"You all saw it when you came back, right? Is Kali Town now much better than when you left?"
A proud look appeared on Harijula's face. He waved his hand and pointed outside the courtyard, as if asking for praise, which made Wan Shufang couldn't help laughing.
Thinking of the scene she saw when she first entered Kali Town, she nodded politely, "Indeed, it is true. We can see that Kali Town has now returned to normal, and the people are living and working in peace and harmony. You have made an indelible contribution."
After being praised by Wan Shufang, Harijula immediately put her hands on her hips and laughed out loud.
"Haha, it's a lot of fun."
She waved her hand, enthusiastically pulled Wan Shufang into the house, and told her what had happened in the past few days. After they left, nothing major happened in Cali Town.
Moreover, under Harijula's governance, things have gradually returned to normal, which is a good sign. But there is only one thing that has made Harijula frown until now.
She rolled her eyes and said calmly, "Although Kali Town is doing well now, I have been here for a long time and have not heard any clues about the treasure."
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang returned to Kali Town because they wanted to find out about the treasure, but now they had no clue. The three of them fell silent and were at a loss as to what to do.
After thinking for a long time, Wan Shufang suddenly thought of something. A hint of excitement appeared in her eyes, and she opened her red lips slightly: "Harijula, do you still remember Hualien?"
"That tragically dead woman?" Harijula looked puzzled and said in a deep voice, "I remember it, but she's already dead. There's nothing we can find out."
Wan Shufang shook her head, a hint of disapproval showing on her face, her expression serious.
"That's not necessarily true. Yanran once said that Hualian knew about the treasure from her father. We just need to find her father and we can investigate. Harijula, do you have any clues about Hualian's father?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Harijula shook her head. The moment Wan Shufang mentioned Hualien's father, she thought about this person in her mind.
Initially, when Hualien died, they did check on her, but they could not find her father.
"I checked her out at first, but I didn't find out that she had a father..." Harijula murmured, frowning fiercely: "Could it be that Hualian deceived Yanran?"
After these words were spoken, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other and no one spoke. Although they had doubts about what Hua Lian had said at the beginning, it was too late now.
Wan Shufang pursed her lips and sighed, "Hualien is dead, and we can't verify whether this is true or not. Well, let's check it out from other places. Speaking of which, we have been away for some time, so let's go see Hualien tomorrow."
Harijula curled her lips and complained silently in her heart, wondering why Chen Changli and Wan Shufang went to Hualien, but she did not stop them. Anyway, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang always did things in moderation, so she was not worried.
Thinking of this, Harijula shrugged and stood up: "I have something else to do tomorrow. There are still some refugees in Kali Town who need to be settled. You two should go and pay tribute to the little girl."
She yawned, tears welled up in her eyes, turned around, and staggered back to her room.
Until Harijula's back disappeared, Wan Shufang couldn't help laughing and took Chen Changli's arm: "Let's go, Master Chen, we should go to rest too."
"Okay, just listen to Madam."
Chen Changli raised the corners of his lips, smiling gently, his eyes full of doting, the air suddenly became a little sweet, the two of them walked into the house hand in hand.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang packed their belongings and went to the grave in Hualien to pay their respects.
Before they reached the grave, Wan Shufang saw flowers placed in front of the grave from afar. She was immediately puzzled: "Huh? Besides us, has anyone else come to visit Hualien?"
As they talked, the two of them walked closer and noticed that in addition to the flowers in front of Hualian's grave, even the soil on the grave showed signs of loosening.
Wan Shufang's face changed. She squatted down and took the opportunity to put the tribute to carefully look at the soil. Her expression was complicated and her face gradually tensed.
"Hualien, long time no see." Wan Shufang spoke in a soft and unhurried tone, but her eyes were always observing the soil on the grave.
Suddenly, she felt a pulling force on her arm. Wan Shufang raised her head. After sensing the hint in Chen Changli's eyes, she instantly understood what he meant and stood up with the help of Chen Changli's strength.
"Let's go, Shufang. Harijula has something else to do."
Wan Shufang nodded, took a deep look at Hualian's grave, and said softly: "Okay, Hualian, we will come to see you when we have time."
After saying that, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang turned around and left. Both of them noticed the abnormality in the Hualien tomb, but they pretended not to know. After returning, Chen Changli immediately sent someone to keep an eye on it secretly.
Late at night, in the suburbs.
The night wind whistled past, blowing the weeds on the roadside. In the darkness, a figure sneaked up to Hualien's grave.
He looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then he squatted down, as if afraid of making any noise, and started digging the grave with his hands, excitement revealed in his eyes.
But before he could dig for long, several secret guards rushed up from behind and surrounded him.
"You, you guys..." Shock appeared on the man's face. Realizing that he had fallen into a trap, he subconsciously wanted to run, but he was surrounded by secret guards and could not escape at all.
"take away."
At a command from the leading secret guard, several people surrounded the man, tied him up, brought him back to the courtyard, and locked him directly in the woodshed.
The next morning, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had just gotten up when they heard the secret guards reporting what happened last night. The two of them dismissed the secret guards, washed up, and then rushed to the woodshed.
