Wanli Escort Bureau was magnificently built.
At this time, two huge stone beasts at the entrance were bathed in the rising sun.
The vermillion gate was closed tightly, however, it being tightly closed did not prevent the common people from huddling in the street to listen to the commotion.
There was constant shouting and cursing from inside, as well as the sound of swords and spears colliding.
In light of this battle, it was not necessarily impossible for a person to fly over the courtyard wall in the next moment.


Chang Wanli had stayed up all night, and finally closed his eyes for a while when the sky was getting bright.
At this time, he was forced to face this group of visiting creditors again, so he had to make himself get up.

He Rao tidied his clothes and sighed: “Husband, why do you have to be so hard on yourself? Why don’t you temporarily send the escorts to Han Sanyan? He won’t kick us out, and we can still do business, and when we have saved enough money, we can redeem our property.
It’s almost time for Xiao Qiu to come back from these few days with the escorts.
If you let him see the house in such disorder, he will make a fuss again.”

“Speak lightly.” Chang Wanli shook his head.
“The escort agency lost a big shipment.
If even the estate is compensated to the goods owner, how can anyone do business with us in the future? Let’s think of another way.”

As the two spoke, the front hall became noisy again.
This time, Han Sanyan came in person.
He was sitting on the Eight Immortals chair, holding a purple clay teapot in his hands, and was wearing a purple outfit for some reason that made him look more like an eggplant.
Seeing Chang Wanli coming out, the eggplant promptly donned a troubled expression, stepping forward to say: “Chief Escort Chang, if you can’t give an explanation today, Hansong Hall will really have to move things by hand.”

These desks, chairs, benches, and antiques in the Wanli Escort Bureau, even if they were emptied out, were not worth one box of lost goods.
The humiliation of this move was far greater than the actual significance.
But Chang Wanli was in the wrong first and had a large family to support.
No matter how angry he was inwardly, he could only apologize, but Han Sanyan had already made up his mind and would make no more concessions.

“Do it!”

Chang Wanli slapped the table: “Who dares!”

Disciples at both sides readied their weapons.
A fierce battle was about to break out, but at this moment, a huge mahogany box suddenly wooshed in from outside the door like a boulder rolling down a cliff.
With a mighty force, it smashed a big crater into the ground with a bang and the lid of the box was flung aside upon impact.
The box full of silver, pearls, and jade shook wildly, with pearls rolling down and emeralds reflecting the light.

“Surnamed Han.” A beautiful red-clothed girl with a sword walked inside and asked in a charming voice, “Is this the batch of goods that were robbed from you?”

All of the disciples at the scene exchanged glances.
The first shock was her arrival, and the second shock was her internal strength – how high must her martials arts be to be able to throw a box of things through the air so firmly? The third shock was, she found it? Where did she find it?

Han Sanyan was a little flustered, but he still gazed at the uninvited guest calmly, gripping the purple clay teapot until it cracked: “Good, very good.
You robbed my goods and now you still come to the door to provoke us.”

Cheng Suyue laughed out loud: “You’re so stunned by fright at this unexpected event that you’ve started to talk nonsense? Say I really robbed your goods, and instead of rushing to sell it, I carried it over with great effort just to provoke you face to face.
How novel, ah, are you stupid or am I?”

Han Sanyan’s face was ashen.
Chang Wanli seemed to have seen a savior, and stepped forward to say happily: “Where did the Miss find these missing goods?”

“Where did I find them?” Cheng Suyue cast a cold glance at the Hansong Hall people.
“Why don’t you tell him yourself?”


“Presumptuous!” Han Sanyan turned over the teapot, revealing hundreds of glowing blue cow hair needles hidden inside.
Cheng Suyue had long been on guard, and swung her sword backhand to sweep them away: “Holding such a sinister thing all day long and drinking from it with relish, you must not be afraid of ruining your heart and lungs.”

Han Sanyan knew that the matter had been exposed.
Evil thoughts abounded, and all of his attacks were killing moves, determined to put this wild girl of unknown origin to death.
The disciples of Hansong Hall also drew their swords and attacked.
Cheng Suyue’s martial arts were not low, but facing this large group of men who were pulling out all their tricks, it was inevitable that she would suffer.
Although Chang Wanli still didn’t understand what had happened, he saw that she was gradually losing ground and was about to step forward to help.
However, Han Sanyan seemed to have been hit by an invisible force, and yelled as his whole person flew backwards to hit the central pillar.

Cheng Suyue took the opportunity to sweep away the disciples in front of her with her sword, and quickly dashed to the door: “Your Highness.”

“Your martial arts have not progressed.” Liang Shu stepped through the door frame.
“Go back to the northwest and continue practicing.”

Cheng Suyue tidied up her messy clothes: “Oh.”

Han Sanyan was groaning on the ground.
It looked as if he had some broken bones and could not get up.
The disciples of Hansong Hall tried to assist him, but received a burst of screams and didn’t dare to move anymore.

Chang Wanli witnessed the scene of Han Sanyan being grasped by a supernatural force, and wondered who among the Central Plains martial artists could have such terrifying internal strength.
Hearing the girl on the opposite side call “Your Highness,” he was startled and didn’t dare to act rashly anymore, only staring at the young man who walked in from the door: “Your Highness is…..”

Cheng Suyue took out the Nine Dragons tablet from her pocket.

“His Royal Highness Xiao Wang.” After seeing it clearly, Chang Wanli hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
“I didn’t know that the prince was here, and the house is in such a mess.
It is really discourteous.”

“Get up.” Liang Shu sat on the chair.
“Where is your wife? Let her come out, this lord has something to ask her.”

“……Yes.” Chang Wanli was suspicious but didn’t dare to say more, so he sent someone to the East Courtyard to invite He Rao. 

The girl hurried there and back: “Chief Escort, Madam seems to have left.
Her bedroom is a mess, and she seems to have taken all her jewelry with her.”

Chang Wanli’s face paled: “Ah?”

He personally ran to the back courtyard to check, and saw that the wardrobe and drawers were wide open, obviously having been searched once.
When he returned to the front hall, Gao Lin had already fetched He Rao back, and said: “Your Highness’s guess was correct.
She had already arranged the horses and carriages needed for the journey.
She didn’t even leave the city gate, and went directly to the forest.”

It was not a bad plan, but in the end, the people and carriages were stopped on the road by Gao Lin.


Chang Wanli asked anxiously: “What is going on here?”

He Rao ignored him, just staring at Han Sanyan in the corner.
She had a vicious mind and was greedy for pleasure, not a person of strong character at all.
At this time, she knew that the matter could no longer be concealed, so she didn’t bother trying, only wanting to find someone to share the blame as she pointed the finger: “It’s him, it’s him who instigated me!”

Han Sanyan was in so much pain that he couldn’t bother to refute, and just panted heavily.

Chang Wanli asked in a trembling voice: “Who do you mean, A-Rao? You actually meant to harm me together with him?”

He Rao knelt on the ground and wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by Cheng Suyue: “That’s enough.
Chief Escort Chang, we’ll discuss your family affairs in detail later.
For now, the prince has something to ask.
It is related to an important case in Wangcheng years ago.
Chang-furen, will you confess on your own, or shall I interrogate you?”

He Rao knew what she was talking about as soon as she heard it, and it had nothing to do with her, so she immediately replied: “It was the Master of Dazhai and Feng Xiaojin, they robbed the Imperial court of the money and jewels that were needed to buy food!”

Chang Wanli never dreamed that he would hold the string that led to that old criminal case, and was stunned for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

He Rao’s confession was similar to what the bandits of Fuhu Mountain said.
Feng Xiaojin was the adopted son picked up by the Master of Dazhai from outside.
When he first entered the home, he was only about ten years old, so thin that he was all bones.
He had a dull personality and was taciturn, but his martial arts were not bad, and he soon became the second master after the master of the village. 

He Rao was the maid of the Master of Dazhai at the time, so she also spent a period of time with Feng Xiaojin.
She tried to curry favor with the other party, but made little progress and wasn’t even able to find out about his background.
Later, she heard the Master of Dazhai accidentally mention it after drinking.
It was said that Feng Xiaojin had a grudge with a lord surnamed Tan in the court and really couldn’t survive outside, so he came to the village to become a bandit.

Cheng Suyue frowned slightly upon hearing this.
How capable was a ten-year-old to make enemies of important officials in the Imperial court? She feared it must be a continuation of grievances from his parents.

“Maybe five or six years later, Feng Xiaojin went with the village head to rob that batch of official funds.” He Rao said, “At that time, the whole village was elated, but Feng Xiaojin was not happy.
I suppose he was upset that he didn’t take the life of that senior official surnamed Tan.”

“Then he just left?”

“Yes, he left without saying goodbye to anyone,” said He Rao.
“Within a few months after he left, the family of the senior official surnamed Tan was slaughtered, and we all guessed that he was behind it.”

Cheng Suyue continued to ask: “Has anyone seen him after that?”

He Rao hesitated for a moment: “No, no one saw him again.”


“You had better think carefully before answering.” Liang Shu looked at her condescendingly.
“This lord intends to investigate this old case, and you are the only clue at present.
If you can’t remember it here, you can continue thinking about it somewhere else.”

“But I really don’t know.”

“There’s no hurry,” Cheng Suyue said in a friendly manner.
“If you still can’t utter a word after being tortured, then naturally, we will believe that Chang-furen doesn’t know anything.
It’s just that the process might be bloody.
I’m really sorry, ah, how about I apologize ahead of time?”

He Rao’s face clouded like wash water.

“In any case, my family’s prince has killed many people, and not all of them were guilty of serious crimes.
There will always be one or two innocent people who are dragged into the water.” Cheng Suyue clapped her hands and stood up.
“Who made you so unlucky, Chang-furen? Come, take her away!”

“I’ve seen him!” He Rao cried out involuntarily.

Cheng Suyue said: “Oh.”

His Royal Highness Xiao Wang’s brutality was well-known throughout the country.
He Rao was truly terrified.
She couldn’t bear the pressure and finally said through gritted teeth: “I met Feng Xiaojin not long ago.
I searched for him to, to……”

Cheng Suyue finished the second half of the sentence for her: “To kill Chang Xiaoqiu?”

Chang Wanli turned pale with shock, and stood up from his chair suddenly: “What?”

“Chief Escort Chang, be at ease,” Cheng Suyue reassured.
“Your son is doing well now.”

Very well indeed.

In the Kangtai Medical Center to the east of Baihe City, a young man was sitting in the courtyard and basking in the sun.
This was Chang Wanli’s son, Chang Xiaoqiu.
Compared to his half-dead appearance on the mountain outside the city before, his current appearance could be described as healthy, ruddy, and lustrous, even though he still had a limp and his mood was downcast.

Chang Xiaohan went to the street to buy him some snacks, and happened to meet Liu Xian’an on the way.


“Miracle Doctor!” He was overjoyed.
“When did you come back?”

Liu Xian’an was thinking up a big plan to travel with someone when his sleeve was grabbed suddenly.
When he looked up, it was Chang Xiaohan, so he asked him: “How is your young master?”

“Much better.
He’s staying at Kangtai Medical Center, and Doctor Zhang said that his life is safe…..ai, he just suffered a blow, and now he thinks he’s useless.”

The two of them talked as they went back to the Kangtai Medical Center together.
Chang Xiaoqiu was still sitting in the courtyard, staring at his lame leg and feeling that he might never be able to stand up again.
He didn’t move when he heard movement at the courtyard door, his head almost drooping to the ground.

“Young Master.” Chang Xiaohan said, “What are you doing sitting on the ground again?”

He put the snacks away and went to help him up, but Chang Xiaoqiu insisted on doing it himself.
However, he couldn’t stand properly and stumbled against the wall, saying angrily: “If my leg is bad, then it’s pointless for me to live.
I might as well die.”

Liu Xian’an said: “That is also possible.”

Chang Xiaoqiu didn’t expect that there was another person in the courtyard, and was startled.
Looking up, he saw that the other person had a very good appearance, handsome and graceful like an immortal, but how could his words be so unpleasant? “What do you mean it’s also possible?”

“You said you don’t want to live anymore, and I said it is possible,” Liu Xian’an further explained.

Chang Xiaoqiu choked: “Who are you?”

“Young Master, don’t be rude.” Chang Xiaohan hurriedly introduced, “This is Miracle Doctor Liu of Baihe Mountain Village who saved our lives in the barren mountains outside the city.”

Chang Xiaoqiu didn’t believe it: “How can there be a doctor who persuades people to die?”

“It’s not that I am persuading you to die, but that you want to die.” Liu Xian’an moved a chair over.
“Since your heart is already dead, why should I try hard to persuade you to recover your positivity? Firstly, it will be troublesome, and secondly, it may not improve the result, so it is better to die if you want to.
Anyway, everyone lives and dies in their lifetime.
It’s not a big deal.”

Chang Xiaoqiu: “……”

Please get out!
