Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Hanxuan looked at his daughter’s calm and wise eyes. She was so confident that she was like a stabilizing needle. He immediately felt at ease. He felt that his daughter could efficiently resolve the most challenging problems.

An hour later, the people guarding the Su Residence saw the door open. Second Master Su, who was wearing a green robe, walked out with a solemn expression. Behind him were two manservants. The coachman drove the carriage to the gate to pick him up.

Was he leaving?

The person monitoring them immediately became alert and stared at them with full attention.

“Butler Chen, go to the bodyguard agency and ask for payment.”

Su Hanxuan stood at the door and ordered the butler beside him. The butler agreed and left. Behind the butler was a manservant who seemed to have gone to collect the debt.

Su Hanxuan waited for the butler to leave before stepping on the stool the servants had brought. The coachman shouted and drove away.

When the people watching saw Su Hanxuan’s carriage leave, they followed it. When they reached the cloth shop, they saw the carriage stop. Su Hanxuan exited the carriage and walked into the cloth shop until dark.

The people in the city followed Su Hanxuan back to the Su family’s house. After he went in, he didn’t come out again. There was nothing suspicious about him. The people in charge of monitoring continued to monitor him.

However, the real Su Hanxuan had already arrived outside the city. He was wearing the butler’s clothes, and his face had also turned into that of a butler. Su Qing, dressed as a manservant, bid farewell to her father.

“Father, be careful on the road.”

“Xi’er, aren’t you going with Father?”

Su Hanxuan asked anxiously when he saw that his daughter had no intention of leaving.

“I still have something to do. No one knows my identity, and no one can catch me. Don’t worry, Father. I’ll meet you at the nunnery in three days at most.”

Su Qing shook her head. He had never told her father what she wanted to do. She only told him and her mother to wait for her at the nunnery.

Su Hanxuan witnessed his daughter’s superb disguise skills. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to leave the city smoothly.

However, he was still worried about his daughter. No matter how powerful she was, she was still a woman.

“Xi’er, this is a critical time. No matter what, let’s talk about it after the limelight has passed!”

“This matter is crucial. Don’t worry!”

Su Qing was already impatient to continue talking. The city gates were about to close, and if she delayed any longer, she would not be able to enter the city. She instructed her father,

“Father, remember how to use the sleeve arrow.”

“Please send my father back safely.”

Su Qing instructed the two escorts. These two escorts were Yang Zhi’s good brothers. Their personalities were similar to Yang Zhi’s. They were both hot-blooded men and trustworthy.

“Alright.”

The two bodyguards nodded solemnly. They respected Second Master Su and Su Qing even more.

“Please give this letter to Leader Yang.”

Su Qing handed a letter to the two bodyguards. Su Hanxuan looked at his daughter in confusion. Why didn’t she let him pass it to him? Could it be that he was not as trustworthy as the two bodyguards in his daughter’s heart?

After watching his father’s carriage leave, Su Qing was not in a hurry to return to the city. She only returned to the city after ensuring no one followed the carriage.

Her trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain was still effective. Those people thought that her father was still in the Su residence.

Su Qing had just entered the city when the city gates closed. The soldiers captured and took a few children away despite their parents’ cries and pleas.

Su Qing followed the soldiers and watched them drive the carriage carrying the children to the government office.

The pair of stone lions at the entrance of the government office looked ferocious and terrifying under the twilight, like monsters that wanted to eat people with their mouths wide open.

The children were crying and looking for their parents. They were violently carried out of the cart by the soldiers who threatened to beat and scold the children. The children could not stand the fear and cried until they were distressed. They looked very pitiful.

The main gate of the government office was closed, and only the side door was open. Several soldiers pushed the children into the government office.

The child’s parents cried and screamed at the government office. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, begging the Zhizhou to let go of their poor children.

The soldiers were unmoved and impatiently chased them away.

“Get lost. If you don’t get lost, I’ll take your lives.”

“Sir, please return the child to us!”

The parents did not care about their lives and were still begging desperately. In the end, these inhumane soldiers used whips to chase them away. They beat the commoners into a bloody mess, and the children’s cries became even more miserable.

He found that more and more people were surrounding the entrance of the government office. The door of the government office opened, and the Zhizhou, dressed in official robes, walked out. His yellow eyes rolled a few times, and he walked steadily on the stone steps, pretending to be a good person to stop the soldiers from beating the people.

“Don’t fight, don’t fight. Talk to them properly.”

They all knelt when the commoners saw that the Zhizhou had come.”

“I beg the Zhizhou to return the children to us.”

“What are you doing? This Zhizhou is trying to find a bright path for your child. If the Imperial Concubine takes a fancy to your child and accepts him as her adopted son, he will rise to the top and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. You still don’t know what’s good for you. Do you want your children to be servants like you for the rest of their lives?”

“We don’t need our children to be rich and powerful. We want to keep our children by our side. We beg the Zhizhou to return the children to us.”

The commoners were still crying for their children. It sounded nice to say that the imperial concubine had adopted a son, but there had been discussions about what she wanted. Everyone understood that the child would have no way out if he died.

“Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. This Zhizhou is talking to you properly, and you’re still messing around here? Those who don’t listen to my advice will be beaten to death.”

Zhizhou’s expression instantly changed. He ordered loudly with a gloomy face. The bailiffs in the mansion ran out with killing sticks and looked like they were about to commit murder.

Some elderly people saw that the situation was wrong and quickly pulled their children up to avoid the deadly disaster.

Seeing that the people were frightened, Qin Zhizhou stroked his mouse-like beard. Seeing everyone looking at him in fear, he was extremely pleased.

It was good to be an official. Everyone was afraid of him. After scaring the people, Qin Zhizhou ordered the soldiers.

“Bring the children in and give them some delicious food to cajole them.”

After giving the order, the soldier smiled at the children and said,

“In the future, you will enter the door of wealth. Don’t cry.”

His smile in the twilight was as terrible as the pair of stone lions at the door, and the children backed away in fear.

The children were brought into the government office, and the door creaked shut. The children’s parents cried on the ground, looking at the door that separated them from their children in despair. They surrounded the government office for a long time, unwilling to leave.

Su Qing had been holding back her anger. She waited until the sky was completely dark before finding a quiet place to jump onto the roof of the government office and run towards the backyard.

She had asked her father for a map of the interior of the government office when she was in the Su residence. Su Hanxuan often came to the government office and was familiar with the inside structure.

Su Qing found the prison’s location according to the mark on the map. Seeing that the Wan Family Army had replaced the guards, she was about to drug them when she saw Qin Zhizhou with a flattering smile. He bowed to the two guards and said,

“Thank you for your hard work. I want to interrogate a prisoner.”

The two soldiers didn’t give Qin Zhizhou a good look just because he had a good attitude. They asked warily,

“Interrogate who?”
