Chapter 881 - 859: Can I Say It?
Manbao and Bai Shan stared wide-eyed.
County Magistrate Tang gave a slight smile to the two and they anxiously asked, "So, did you find out anything?"
"Find out what? Did I find out who County Magistrate Bai met with in the other courtyard twelve years ago, and what they talked about?" County Magistrate Tang said, "Do you know who Guan Yan is?"
The two shook their heads together.
County Magistrate Tang poked Bai Shan’s head impatiently and said, "Guan Yan is the Old Master Guan you’ve been talking about. He’s been working under the Prince of Yizhou for nearly twenty years, ever since the Prince established his court; he’s been by his side from the beginning. If I directly asked him, and if he’s still with the Prince of Yizhou, guess what would happen to us?"
Bai Shan said, "Whatever happened to my dad back then, the same would happen to us."
County Magistrate Tang nodded and said, "Exactly, which is why I merely passed by the Guan Family Estate to take a look and asked for a bowl of water to drink. You don’t need to go there; it’s best to stay away from them at this time."
County Magistrate Tang looked at the two of them, then turned his head and signaled to Bai Erlang, who was squatting outside, and said, "Now that you know there’s danger, don’t drag your companion into it. You should think about protecting yourselves instead of obsessing over investigating the case all the time. These matters are for adults to deal with."
Bai Shan and Manbao also turned their heads to glance at Bai Erlang outside the window, "We are not the same as him."
They were investigating this case not only because so many people had died because of it, but also because their fathers or mothers had died because of it. Even now, there was a sword hanging over their family’s head. They had no choice but to step into it.
But Bai Erlang could stay out of it; he truly should not have been involved.
