Qin Tian decided not to alert Wang Zhen and quietly followed him.
The reason he followed personally was to prevent Xiao Zhuang from being discovered, after all, Wang Zhen was a Nascent Soul Stage Peak expert, his power could easily overwhelm Xiao Zhuang.
For this matter, Qin Tian also did not plan to involve Zhao Lanjin.
Wang Zhen's life seed to be very regular, the City Guard Army's governnt office, his wife's residence, his three concubines' residences, a routine pattern that made it difficult for Qin Tian to find any issues.
However, Qin Tian did not give up. Both he and Xiao Zhuang had the sa intuition about Wang Zhen, feeling that this guy was a hypocrite. His intuition told him that sothing was amiss.
Sure enough, after following for four consecutive days, on the fifth day, Qin Tian suddenly discovered that after Wang Zhen ca out of the City Guard Army's governnt office that day, he did not go to his wife nor to his three concubines but went to the Governor's Mansion!
"He might be going to report to Xiao Zhan..."
Qin Tian thought so, but after following Wang Zhen to the Governor's Mansion, he noticed sothing different.
This Wang Zhen did not go in through the main gate.
After reaching the Governor's Mansion, he went directly to the back door!
And it was already nine o'clock at night!
Does reporting to Xiao Zhan require such a late hour? Does it require using the back door deliberately?
At this mont, Qin Tian felt sothing was amiss.
Squeak!
When Wang Zhen arrived at the back door of the Governor's Mansion, he knocked gently, and a maid imdiately opened the door and let him in.
Both of them seed a bit furtive!
"Damn, why didn't he just fly in? No, with so many skilled guards at the Governor's Mansion, flying in would definitely alert them. Wang Zhen, this hypocrite, must be up to sothing shady!"
Qin Tian thought from a distance, knowing that Wang Zhen would not co out for a while, so he went to the front gate of the Governor's Mansion.
"That maid, I feel like I've seen her sowhere before... Hmm, where was it... there's a faint impression..."
Qin Tian pondered carefully and rembered after half a minute —
This maid was the personal maid of Xiao Zhan's eighteenth wife!
"Damn, could it be that the eighteenth wife and Wang Zhen..."
Qin Tian's eyes suddenly lit up.
Governor Xiao Zhan had a total of thirty-two wives, the eighteenth wife was ranked eighteenth, not very favored in the Governor's Mansion, so Qin Tian had only seen her once, and the maid, Qin Tian had also seen only once.
"Thinking this way, Xiao Zhan truly possesses the necessary conditions to wear a green hat..."
Qin Tian felt he had found Wang Zhen's flaw.
Coincidentally, at this ti, a large troop of soldiers ca back in front of the Governor's Mansion, they were Xiao Zhan's Personal Guards.
"Xiao Zhan is back... Hmm, I rember, Xiao Zhan went to the City Lord Mansion tonight, could it be that Wang Zhen ets the eighteenth wife every ti when Xiao Zhan is out?"
Seeing Xiao Zhan's carriage arriving, Qin Tian imdiately went to the back door of the Governor's Mansion.
Sure enough, after waiting for a few minutes, Wang Zhen ca out of the back door of the Governor's Mansion in a panic, looking a bit displeased, probably not satisfied, not expecting Xiao Zhan to return so early.
Seeing Wang Zhen sneak away hastily, Qin Tian smiled?
"I told you this was a hypocrite, huh, ssing with the Governor's woman, Wang Zhen, you've got quite the ambition..."
With a light chuckle, Qin Tian also turned and left?
With this clue, Qin Tian next needed to get this news to Xiao Zhan.
Of course, he couldn't tell Xiao Zhan personally, which would have the opposite effect.
Qin Tian found the right person to be the ssenger —
General Lei Shi, Governor Xiao Zhan's trusted general.
General Lei Shi was straightforward and bold, considered the closest of Xiao Zhan's trusted ones.
If Lei Shi delivered this news, Xiao Zhan would undoubtedly believe it without hesitation.
But how could they let Lei Shi see the whole Wang Zhen affair himself? Qin Tian couldn't tell him directly.
After much thought, Qin Tian finally ca up with a plan.
On a night when Xiao Zhan was out, Qin Tian discovered Wang Zhen had gone to the Governor's Mansion again. Qin Tian invited Lei Shi to go to the Governor's Mansion under the pretext of delivering so items to Xiao Zhan.
Upon reaching the Governor's Mansion, naturally, Xiao Zhan was not there.
Given Lei Shi's closeness with Xiao Zhan, they could move freely in most areas of the Governor's Mansion.
Qin Tian and Lei Shi naturally dared not go to the living quarters of the eighteenth wife.
However, Qin Tian led Lei Shi to the side veranda beside the back door.
From their position, they could just see the front door of the eighteenth wife's bedroom through the Stone Gate.
The two quietly chatted there, mostly Qin Tian holding Lei Shi's attention by asking him about military tactics.
Since Xiao Zhan had not returned, Lei Shi was chatting and drinking with Qin Tian.
While they were deep in conversation, Qin Tian saw the servant maid of the eighteenth wife rush to her bedroom from another door, gently knock, and whisper: "Madam, the Governor has returned... the Governor has returned..."
Soon after, Wang Zhen rushed out of the bedroom, and headed straight for the back door, quick and familiar.
Qin Tian and Lei Shi, from their vantage point, both saw Wang Zhen running out from the courtyard —
This courtyard was exclusive to Xiao Zhan's wives; outsiders were not allowed to enter.
Lei Shi, seeing Wang Zhen from afar, was stunned for a few seconds, then was startled and got up intending to call out to Wang Zhen, but Qin Tian quickly stopped him: "General Lei, what are you doing?"
Lei Shi, with an angry look, said, "That Wang Zhen... I just saw Wang Zhen coming out from the eighteenth wife's bedroom door, Qin Tian, did you see it?"
"I didn't see," Qin Tian said, in fact, sitting at a side angle, Qin Tian also didn't see, only seeing Wang Zhen running out from the courtyard, "I only saw General Wang just now running out from this courtyard behind us."
"You know what kind of place this courtyard behind us is, right, Qin Tian?"
"Yes, it's the Governor's wife's residence, no outsiders are allowed in."
"Hmph, this Wang Zhen... certainly didn't consider himself an outsider!"
Lei Shi clenched his fist, glaring at the distant back door, angrily said, "Damn it, this gigolo must have done sothing shady, sneaking out the back door!"
"That eighteenth wife, certainly not a good person either! I'm going to tell the Governor! Damn it, daring to touch the Governor's woman, courting death!"
Lei Shi was impulsive, Qin Tian hurriedly held him back, saying, "General Lei, please don't be impulsive. If you go and tell the Governor and they deny it, what then? You have no evidence, and by saying it, the Governor might rather think you're ddling, tarnishing the eighteenth wife's reputation..."
"But even soone with my intelligence can see there's sothing amiss between Wang Zhen and the eighteenth wife, the Governor he..."
"General Lei, I know you an well for the Governor. But, evidence speaks for everything, today we have no evidence, we cannot speak recklessly. Unless one day you have the evidence, or catch them in the act, only then it will work."
Qin Tian, step by step, guided Lei Shi towards his intended goal.
