Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

Chapter 78: Triumphant Return



Niu Chao's expression changed when he felt Cai Yunhai's killing intent. " Wh-What do you mean? I don't know anything."

' Damn it, That little bastard! He threw a tantrum yesterday about this Jia Hao. I thought he would work smartly. But not only is he good and well, he even knew who attacked him.' Niu Chao cursed his heart.

" Niu Chao, I don't give a damn what you do to me. But if you dare to look at my family." Cai Yunhai's fingers rubbed on the hilt of his sword.

" Niu Family shall face the wrath of the Cai Family."

" Hmph, Cai Yunhai, Don't you think you can scare our Niu Family with that." Niu Chao's eyes narrowed when he heard Cai Yunhai.

" You better do, Niu Chao. You are only seeing Patriarch Cai right now. I hope you never see the General of Silver Lightning Cavalry who fought a war in the southern borders." Cai Yunhai laughed coldly as he turned around.

" It's alright, Father in law. Just some pesky bugs. You don't need to worry about them." Jia Hao waved his hands.

He used the Sage's Divine Eyes to look at everyone's everyone's profile. However, when he saw Wu Qingshu's panel, his eyes shone with a bright ray.

[ Name: Wu Qingshu]

[ Age: 59]

[ Remark: One of the overseers of Divine Martial Hall. Low stage of Innate Master Realm with crimson qi]

[ Recent Future Point: Three days later, He would find the hideout of a group of traitors in Heinan. However, the main culprit already escaped a day ago, leaving him nothing but frustration. He also get reprimanded by the Emperor later on]

' I guess Wu Qingshu didn't come here only for the selection of the City Magistrate. He is here for something else.'

' If he is close to the emperor, that means he also wields significant power and authority. Hmm, If I help him…'

" Mr. Wu, May I speak to you?" Jia Hao walked towards Wu Qingshu with a light smile.

" Hoho, Aren't you the Son in Law of Cai Yunhai? Speak, What do you want?" Wu Qingshu looked at him with some interest.

" Mr. Wu, I just wanted to know when we are going to recieve the bounty on Moonlight Rapist's head." Jia Hao chuckled.

" Hahaha, You are concerned about bounty? Don't worry, Brat. It should arrive in a few days." Wu Qingshu chuckled.

" While looking for the clues of Moonlight Rapist. I also stumbled upon something else. It was like…a group of strange people. They were also talking about some strange stuff…like some shady deals…" Jia Hao rubbed his chin as he mumbled.

" What? Are you sure?" Wu Qingshu's eyes squinted when he heard that. " Do you know where did they go?"

" Maybe?" Jia Hao spoke with a faint smile. " I think I heard about their hideout. They were also talking about how their leaders going to depart tomorrow."

" Really?" Wu Qingshu's eyes shone as he hurried to Jia Hao. " Jia Hao, tell me everything you. This might be crucial information for me."

" It's not that I don't want to tell you, Mr. Wu. However, I am in a bit of trouble. I wonder if Mr. Wu can help me."

" Heh, Are you trying to extort from me?" Wu Qingshu's eyes squinted as he looked at Jia Hao.

" How a frail scholar like me would extort you, Mr. Wu." Jia Hao took a step back as he hurriedly shook his head.

" What I am just seeking is a bit of help. And in exchange for that, Mr. Wu would receive some valuable information. And, I hope you have already seen the evidence of the Cai Family's network."

Saying that, he pointed towards the corpse of Hong Chao with a faint smile.

Wu Qingshu fell into a deep thought as he looked at Jia Hao. " Speak, What do you want?"

" Nothing much. I just wish you to arrest a person and keep him safe." Jia Hao spoke.

" Arrest a person? Who are you talking about?" Wu Qingshu raised his eyebrows.

" Xu Family's eldest young master. He is currently secretly imprisoned by Shen Family." Jia Hao rubbed his palm.

" Catching a criminal yet not handing it to Imperial Authorities and keeping him secretly, I am sure it's against the rules, no?"

" However, Even if you arrest him, I hope you show him some mercy and at least help him to stay alive in prison."

" Why are you doing this? Is he your friend?"

" Not that, actually." Jia Hao scratched his head.

" I slept with his sister and the Shen Family is trying to blackmail her by using her brother. I don't want the Shen Family to succeed, so…I can only ask for your help."

" As for how you are going to take him out of Shen Family's grasp, I know Mr. Wu is a man with abilities. I shall leave that for you."

" But…"

" As for the location of the suspicious people, I only know they are hiding in Heinan Village. Mr. Wu should go there carefully and catch them all at once."

Jia Hao spoke that and turned around to leave. " I hope Mr. Wu won't betray my trust."

Wu Qingshu remained silent as he saw Jia Hao leaving. His eyes filled with an enigmatic light as he turned around.

" Old Third!"

" Yes, My Lord!"

" Prepare a raid team to the Heinan village and seal all the exits. Also, trying to check if the Shen Family got the Xu Family's eldest young master in their dungeon or not."

" As you wish."

" Also, Cut off this bastard's head and send it to Captial." Wu Qingshu spoke as he turned around to leave.

" Jia Hao, Is it? How…Amusing."

" What are you t walking with Wu Qingshu?" Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao.

" Nothing, Just having some deals." Jia Hao smiled. " Father in Law, What kind of person is Wu Qingshu? I hope he isn't someone who burns the bridge after crossing?"

" Wu Qingshu isn't someone like that." Cai Yunhai shook his head. " He focuses mainly on the orders of His Majesty. And if you help in some important task, he will also do his best to return your favor."

" So what is Divine Martial Hall?" Jia Hao asked in a curious voice.

" There are two departments who works directly under His Highness's command. The Scaled Dragon Hall and Divine Martial Hall."

" The Scaled Dragon Hall looks after the internal affairs of the empire, which involves the common folks and everything else. The Divine Martial Hall was made solely to keep the martial arts community in check."

" Both are different departments, but work under the Emperor."

" Hurry up and start arranging for the feast! Patriarch Cai has been selected as the City Magistrate!"

" What? Are you telling the truth? Does that mean our Cai Family's reputation is going to be lifted?"

" Oh my goodness! We have become the Magistrate's Household!"

Li Rou was pacing nervously in her room as her old maid came rushing. When she heard the news, Li Rou couldn't help but get elated.

" Are you really telling the truth?"

" Yes, Lady Li. I have gotten news from he soldier who went to accompany Patriarch."

" Haha! Good! Very good!" Li Rou laughed as she waved her hands. " Give a fifty taels of gold to each servant and ask them to decorate the house. We must welcome them properly."

When Minmin replied to Cai Yixue, she couldn't help but sigh in relief. " Finally, A good news. Hurry up and write a letter to my sister. She must be getting impatient."

" Yes, Young lady." Minmin smiled. " I heard Son in Law did a very good job catching the Moonlight Rapist. He even fought with him."

" What?! He fought with him?" Cai Yixue's expression turned cold as she started to bite her nails.

" Damn it! I told him to not engage in anything dangerous! Why doesn't he just listen to me!"

" Hehe, Young Miss is worried about her husband?"

" Bah! Who said?" Cai Yixue returned to her usual demeanor as she looked away. " I was just afraid if he gets hurt our Cai Family would lose a capable individual."

" Young Miss, You are a bad liar. You know that, right?"

" Minmin, I guess I need to increase your tickling punishment."

Minming's body jerked as she backed away a few steps at lightning-fast speed. " No need for this, Young Miss! I need to go back and do other work."

" This girl…"

Cai Yixue gave a faint smile as she sat before the table, practicing her calligraphy skills. " Hmm, He really hid his skill very well."

When the Cai Yunhai and Jia Hao returned to the mansion, they were greeted by everyone in the Cai Family, making them feel like they just returned after winning the battle.

" Alright, Everyone, Calm down." Cai Yunhai waved his hands, silencing everyone. " It's true that our Cai Family has completed the task given by His Majesty."

" However, no matter how elevated our family status becomes in future, I hope you all walk on the path of law and righteousness set up by His Majesty."

Everyone cheered after hearing Cai Yunhai's words.

" Long live Patriarch Cai!"
