My Wife and I Became Sages in Another World

Chapter 292: Searching for a Target

Chapter 292:

The mansions had a lot of green space between them, so it almost felt like they were larger than the ones at Golden Road. However, we later found out that these houses belonged to lower-ranked nobles.

There were small houses built along the road, but they were all abandoned as commoners used to live there before they were enslaved.

Melina and I had our eyes on three different houses. Their location and size were perfect for us to hide, but we needed to decide which one to take.

The first one had a crest with a lion, the second had a bluejay bird, and the last one was a rat, which I thought was a bit strange to have as a family crest.

We moved to a dark alley for a moment and sent a voice message to the people in Yuandu, directed at Ling and Wu so that they could tell us about the three families.

We didn’t want to target a good noble family like the Yushan or Mei, so we needed to know what kind of activity these guys did before we took over their house.

Not even five minutes after sending the message, Mei Ling replied.

The house with a lion was the house of the Military Chief of Guanghua, which was weird, as I would have expected someone that important to have their home at Golden Road.

The bluejay family were ones who opposed the enslavement of commoners. However, to protect themselves from execution, they fabricated a story about how their family couldn’t take slaves due to a tradition, which had to be respected by the emperor in the end.

The rat crest was from a family of a government official who worked on the finances of Guanghua, and while they had a few slaves working under them, Mei Ling stated that they didn’t have any influence.

’Hmm, I think I know which one to take, then...’
