"However, my father did indeed find out some things. At least Young Master Zheng's visits to inspect the manor were informed to him intentionally by someone who knew his temperament well. Whether the manor head instigated the brawl under someone's orders is uncertain, as he has yet to confess."
Meanwhile, County Magistrate Guo in the front hall spoke with Yin Li, "My lord, it seems Zheng Erlang is not pursuing the mastermind. Shall we continue investigating?"
Yin Li handed him the small note he had just received, "Sun Zhi is missing."
County Magistrate Guo took the note, slightly surprised, "Missing in our capital region?"
Yin Li glanced at him, "No, he disappeared shortly after leaving Xingyang on his way to the capital. The Sun Family has already reported to the authorities, claiming they encountered bandits on the road."
County Magistrate Guo clicked his tongue and asked, "Do you suspect Patriarch Zheng?"
