BHBF Chapter 81.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 81.1: Playful Son (45)

“Where’s your brother?” Shao Yu asked.

Shao Jialiang: “Brother, he followed.”

After saying this, Shao Jialiang began to worry again, fearing that something might have happened to Shao Jiashan.

Shao Yu put on his clothes and asked, “Take me there first.”

His long-time attendant Wang Xi was about to follow him, but Shao Yu said, “You stay here and protect the lady and the young lady.”

Wang Xi nodded.

Shao Yu seemed to have thought of something and whispered a few words of advice.

Shao Jiashan made marks along the way, and Shao Jialiang followed the marks and tracked Shao Yu.

However, Shao Jiashan was not heading towards the Wu family, but was running towards the deep mountains and forests.

There are many indigenous people in the deep mountains and forests of Lingnan. These people are independent and rarely interact with the outside world. They are also very difficult to mess with.

Shao Yu and Shao Jialiang chased for an unknown amount of time before the trail suddenly stopped. They were now deep in a dense forest, with only the sounds of insects and birds chirping.

“Why is there no mark?” Shao Jialiang looked around for a long time but couldn’t find the mark left by Shao Jiashan, and couldn’t help feeling a little anxious.

When Shao Yu looked at this place, he only sensed something unusual.

“Your brother may have been discovered by them.” Shao Yu said.

“Then what should we do? Where was he taken? How do we find him?” Shao Jialiang looked around and there was no mark of his brother. He didn’t know which direction to start looking.

Shao Yu just said: “No need to look for him.”

“No need to look for him, Dad?” Shao Jialiang was full of surprise.

Shao Yu winked at him.

Shao Jialiang suddenly noticed that there was another person behind Shao Yu.

The man held a fork in his hand and wore a wreath of green vines on his head. He slowly stood up from the bushes.

Shao Jialiang turned around and found two people dressed similarly standing behind him.

“Dad, what’s this?” Shao Jialiang asked, instinctively feeling that something was not right.

Shao Yu said: “It’s okay, just follow them.”

As Shao Yu spoke, he took the initiative to stretch out his hands and let these people tie up his hands and feet with the rattan in their hands, and blindfolded him with a black cloth.

The father and son were driven forward in this way. Although Shao Jialiang realized that they had not walked far, he still felt that he was completely lost.

Although Shao Yu’s eyes were covered, he could still hear the sound. When passing a certain place, he noticed that the person who was escorting him seemed to pause for a moment, and he also heard the sound of leaves rustling.

He also felt something on the top of his head.

After this period, it stopped quickly.

The black cloth in front of Shao Yu’s eyes was torn away. After adapting for a long time, Shao Yu could see the surrounding situation clearly.

A group of people who were obviously dressed as mountain people, all holding weapons in their hands, were looking at Shao Yu and his son.

Shao Yu looked directly at the one who was obviously the leader among the group and asked, “Are you the patriarch here?”

Although the leader was sitting in the middle, he was very young, like the favored youngest son of the family, not quite the patriarch.

The man didn’t answer yes or no, but asked: “You two people outside the mountains, how dare you break into this place?”

When Shao Yu heard this, he realized that this person was probably not the patriarch here, so he said, “I want to speak to your patriarch.”

“Our patriarch is very busy and has no time to see you.”

Shao Yu still insisted: “I am the magistrate of Qingning County and I want to speak to the patriarch.”

This person was stunned when he heard this, and looked at his brothers beside him, as if he did not expect that they could capture a county magistrate just by grabbing someone casually. If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine, but if it was a local magistrate, then he would not be able to make the decision.

The man glanced at Shao Yu, then walked back a few steps and entered a room behind him.

Inside the room, an old man was looking at Lord Wu with a cold brow, saying, “Your fate with our clan was severed in your mother’s generation. Why are you here again now? And there’s a tail following you!”

The old patriarch seemed to have many dissatisfactions with Lord Wu, and his eldest grandson Shi Le beside him also looked at Lord Wu with a look full of resentment.

Lord Wu immediately licked his face and said, “Uncle, please save your nephew. I really have nowhere to go now.”

Lord Wu has now confessed, and even sent out his confession. It seems that he is doomed to die. Now he can only flee into the mountains or overseas. The world is so big, and he can only save his life by fleeing to a place where no one in the government office can find him.

The old patriarch still looked unhappy after being called out by him.

At this time, the young leader came in, took a look at Lord Wu, then came to the old clan leader and Shi Le and whispered, “Grandpa, big brother, the man we caught behind us claimed to be the Qingning County Magistrate.”

The old patriarch’s eyes narrowed when he heard this, and then he looked at County Magistrate Wu and asked, “What disaster did you cause outside?”

Lord Wu was unwilling to answer.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, the old patriarch didn’t bother to ask more questions and said directly: “In that case, I won’t care about you anymore.”

Lord Wu immediately said, “Uncle, don’t you want to know the whereabouts of the divine stone?”

Upon hearing this, the old patriarch turned around and stared at Lord Wu with a look as if filled with poison.

Lord Wu looked back at him without any guilt in his eyes. Instead, he said, “If my uncle won’t help me, then I can only take the divine stone and go underground.”

The old patriarch stared at him, but in the end said nothing and just walked out of the house.

When Lord Wu was about to follow, he was stopped by the old patriarch’s eldest grandson Shi Le, who said, “Grandpa said you can’t leave this house.”

The old patriarch saw Shao Yu, who was dressed as a middle-aged scholar, from afar. He saw that Shao Yu’s face was seven points similar to Shao Jiashan, who was captured by them before. In addition, Shao Jiashan, who was captured before, also said that he was “the son of the county magistrate”. At this time, the identities of the father and son could be said to be mutually verified.

Moreover, at this moment, he looked at Shao Yu’s demeanor and realized that he was indeed not an ordinary person.

The old patriarch became more cautious and asked, “Since you said you are the local county magistrate, how do you prove your identity?”

Shao Yu took out a personal seal he carried with him, as well as the official document that assigned him here.

The old patriarch, the only literate person in the tribe, looked at the appointment document, nodded, and ordered people to untie the rattan that bound them.

“Since you are the county magistrate, what do you want in this wild land of mine?” asked the old patriarch.

Although Lord Wu did not tell the truth, the old patriarch guessed that Lord Wu would not have come to the mountains unless he was in a desperate situation.

And if the crime committed by Lord Wu was not so serious, Shao Yu, a county magistrate, would not have chased him here directly.

“I came here because of Lord Wu. I don’t know what the relationship between the old patriarch and Lord Wu is, but now Lord Wu has committed a serious crime and he has confessed. I ask the old patriarch to release him as soon as possible.” Shao Yu said.

The old patriarch played dumb and said, “I don’t know any Lord Wu. I am also very surprised that the county magistrate is here.”

Shao Jialiang said from the side: “Dad, he lied. Big brother’s mark clearly reached here.”

Shao Yu held down his excited young son and asked, “Old Patriarch, I don’t know which clan you are from?”

The old patriarch replied: “The name of our clan is the Divine Stone Clan.”

When Shao Yu heard this, he showed interest and said, “Since it is called the Divine Stone Clan, then there must be a divine stone in the clan.”

When the old patriarch heard him say this, his expression immediately turned grim.

Shao Yu saw his expression and took note of it in his heart.

“Magistrate Shao, there is no Lord Wu in our clan, and the clan does not allow outsiders. You should take your son and leave.” said the old patriarch.

Shao Jialiang tugged at Shao Yu’s sleeve and whispered, “Dad, don’t forget Big Brother, Big Brother is also in their hands.”

Shao Yu nodded.

But before he could speak, the old clan leader took the initiative to have his men bring Shao Jiashan out, saying, “This man acted suspiciously in the mountains and was brought back by the Erlangs of the clan. I think he is from Qingning County. Please bring him down the mountain, magistrate.”

The old patriarch was concerned about Shao Yu’s identity. He thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so he planned to send Shao Yu and his two sons away as soon as possible.

Shao Yu looked at the old patriarch and said, “Why would the old patriarch harbor such a heinous criminal?”

The old patriarch immediately retorted: “The clan members only found this kid outside, but they didn’t see any criminal officials.”

Shao Jiashan, who was thrown to the ground, shouted at this time: “I clearly saw your people bring Lord Wu in and serve him delicious food and drinks.”

The old patriarch’s face darkened. Before he could say anything, a member of the Divine Stone clan said, “Boy, don’t talk nonsense!”

Shao Yu stopped his son and said to the old patriarch: “Since the old patriarch said that the person is not here, I will believe it for now.”

“Dad!” Shao Jiashan was in a state of embarrassment at this time, but he was still thinking about his mission.

Shao Yu glanced at him and said, “Don’t worry.”

Shao Jialiang helped his elder brother up, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, “Big brother, Dad has his reasons for saying this.”

The old patriarch asked Shao Yu and others to leave again.

But Shao Yu did not move, but looked around among these Divine Stone people.

The Divine Stone people have lived in deep mountains and forests all year round and have almost no contact with the outside world. When facing Shao Yu’s gaze, many of them avoided looking.

Shao Yu paused slightly when he saw two slightly strange figures in the crowd.

The two figures seemed to sense Shao Yu’s gaze and immediately hid behind someone.

The old patriarch was displeased when he saw Shao Yu’s unscrupulous look, and said again: “You should leave.”

Shao Yu said: “I saw two tribesmen with extremely large necks.”

The old patriarch looked uglier and uglier, and said again: “You should leave.”

Shao Yu said, “They shouldn’t be born like this, right?”

The old patriarch knocked his cane hard and said, “Ah Qi, send the guest away!”

After saying that, the old patriarch turned around and no longer looked at Shao Yu and the other two.
