After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

"What should we do with her?" Su Qinchao glanced at He Pin who was still waiting in the yard, and raised his eyebrows at Gao Zhili.

At this time, the two were packing their bags, planning to leave Mingzhou in the afternoon and head to their next destination.

It was only after he came back yesterday that he found out that Gao Zhili had spent a huge sum of 2000 taels to redeem the person and placed him in Sima He's mansion.

You should know that nowadays the annual food expenses for a family of four in the countryside are only 6 taels of silver.

Therefore, he suspected that the relationship between the two was not just about investigating the case, but there must be some personal feelings involved. Otherwise, who would spend so much money for no reason? It's not like they have a lot of money.

As far as he knew, although Gao Zhili's family had produced Jinshi (imperial examinations) for generations, they could only be considered noble, but were far from being rich.

"We still have to go to Yangzhou, so how can we take it with us? It's not convenient." Gao Zhili put the last piece of clothing into the bag and sighed.

This time Su Qinchao had indeed guessed wrong. He really redeemed He Pin in order to investigate the case. Besides, she was once the daughter of the Chief Secretary, so it was just a small bit of compassion on his part.

Although he also knew that even if the verdict was overturned in the future and Lord Yu was reinstated, he would never accept a daughter who had sold herself to a brothel, even if this daughter sold herself for the sake of her only son.

He still had to help He Pin find a place where he could stay and hold his head up high. Gao Zhili frowned and even forgot to do what he was doing.

"If you don't want to take her as a concubine, I have a place that is just right for her." Su Qinchao understood when he saw Gao Zhili's expression.

Without further ado, he immediately told Gao Zhili what Princess Yucheng had done in Japan, but changed the meaning slightly, which solved his urgent problem:

"The princess is in need of help right now. Miss He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can also manage affairs and accounts. She is perfect."

"Is the wage really that high?" Su Qinchao said passionately. Gao Zhili, who had just solved his urgent problem, only heard that the wage was 5 taels of silver per month.

To be honest, he felt a little painful when he paid the redemption money.

2000 taels was almost half of the private money he had saved over the years, and now there were only a few hundred taels of silver notes left in his pocket.

"Of course, working so far away, how can the wages be low? The princess has opened many shops there." Seeing that he was interested, Su Qinchao spread out paper and pen again and wrote a letter directly to Princess Yucheng.

In the letter, Su Qinchao briefly explained the whole story.

At the end, she also mentioned that He Pin needed to pay Gao Zhili 2000 taels of silver, so when he saw that the person was suitable, he sent him to her.

"Will this really work?" Gao Zhili felt conflicted as he looked at what he wrote.

"Don't worry!" After saying that, he went out and handed the letter to He Pin, telling her everything they had just discussed in the house.

He also told her that when Sima He went to Chang'an to report on his work in the spring of the following year, she should go with him.

"Thank you, General Su!" He Pin carefully placed the letter in her arms and then kneeled gracefully. Now she had a way out.

Although she knew that if the matter of the Mingzhou Maritime Customs Commissioner reached the emperor, her father would most likely be reinstated.

But what does this have to do with her? Her family absolutely cannot tolerate a daughter who used to be a prostitute.

Moreover, the education she received since childhood made her unwilling to become someone's concubine easily. Now she has the opportunity to earn money to support herself, which is really the best thing.

...

Although He Pin's problem was solved smoothly, Su Qinchao and Gao Zhili did not succeed in leaving Mingzhou Prefecture because the black-clad men's theft of accounts was discovered.

At this time, the entire Mingzhou Prefecture was arresting strangers. It was only because Sima He's words spread quickly that they were able to escape from the city gate first and hide in the nearby mountains.

Fortunately, this mountain is connected to a range of other mountains. If nothing unexpected happens, we can reach Yangzhou within a month by crossing a few mountains and following the sparsely traveled mountain paths.

Of course, they were not so lucky. After only three days, they were caught up by the pursuers.

If the man in black had not rushed out at the critical moment and knocked away the big knife that was chopped towards Gao Zhili, they would definitely not have been able to escape this time.

"Thank you!" As soon as they finished dealing with the pursuers, Su Qinchao bowed to the man in black. If it weren't for him, Gao Zhili would have died in front of him.

"Hurry up, there are two groups of people behind us, about three or four miles away from here along the mountain road." The man in black didn't greet him and directly told him what he had just seen from the high place.

Because Gao Zhili only knew some basic martial arts, he couldn't move quickly between the trees with them.

So the man in black followed for a while and then directly suggested that Gao Zhili go forward alone first, while the two of them tracked down a group of people separately and killed them one by one in secret.

"Okay!" Su Qinchao agreed without hesitation. Indeed, if Gao Zhili followed them, he would only be a hindrance.

They also have to assign one person to protect him. If they do as the man in black suggested, they still have a chance of winning.

Immediately the three of them separated on the spot. Gao Zhili continued to move forward with the three people's bags, while the other two of them walked through the trees on the left and right, looking for the pursuers they needed to deal with.

...

In just half a minute, Su Qinchao found a group of pursuers who were resting at the foot of a mountain valley. There were about seven or eight of them, all around 30 years old. Almost everyone of them was armed, including swords, spears, knives and axes.

The only thing Su Qinchao had on his body was the assembled spear on his back.

It seems that he can only attack at close range. If he could carry an extra dagger with him, he could also cut some branches to make a makeshift bow and arrow, and hide in the dark to shoot arrows.

Su Qinchao assembled the spear silently and slowly approached with the help of the forest wind blowing through the forest.

When he was about thirty steps away from the group of people, Su Qin raised his spear and threw it at two of them who were sitting back to back. He learned this from other generals at Yanmen Pass.

The spear flew through the air like a giant arrow, and before the group of people could react.

With a puff, the two men were pierced through the chest and nailed together to the stone wall behind him.

"Ah!" The incident happened suddenly. Others looked at the miserable appearance of the two people and stepped back screaming. One person was even so frightened that he collapsed to the ground with his pants wet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Qin jumped down from the tree, pulled out the bloody spear, and swept it towards the three people closest to him.

The three men were still in shock when Su Qinchao's spear slashed their necks one by one, spraying out streams of blood and falling to the ground with their eyes open.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" At this time, the remaining few people were scared out of their wits. How could they dare to raise their weapons to resist? The man in front of them was not a human being, but a killing god!

They all regretted the mission they had snatched in the morning. They thought it was just a matter of hunting down two troublesome spies, which would be easy.

Just now when they were resting, they were discussing that after the task was completed and they received the reward from the masters, they would go to Chunyi Tower for a drink together. They didn't expect that they would die here.

"If we let you go, won't we be in trouble?" Seeing this, Su Qinchao did not want to let these people go easily.

But seeing their miserable state, he still held back and broke the legs of each of the remaining men before turning around and leaving.
