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

After leaving Weiyuan Escort Agency, the two did not go to the other three agencies to inquire.

Instead, they went straight back to the restaurant. It wasn't that they were deliberately lazy, but they didn't want to alert the enemy any more.

And now they have received news from Weiyuan Escort Agency, so they just have to wait until the end of the month.

When the time comes, let Qi Min find a way to send someone to follow the escort agency to Yizhou and catch the criminal red-handed on the spot.

The two thought so and did so. When Qi Min climbed in through the window again the next day, they expressed their thoughts to each other.

"Oh my god, I haven't even sat down yet and you guys are already planning to attack me." Qi Min sat down on the chair.

The only eye that was exposed was rolled up in a big motion.

"Look at what you said. If you accomplish this, won't you have also made a contribution?" Su Qinchao winked at him.

"I did this, so what did you do?"

"Brother Su and I are naturally packing up and heading to Jiaozhou. We haven't finished our work yet!"

"I advise you to wait a few more days, so you don't have to run back later!" This is also the reason why he came here to find them today.

The night before, he discussed these matters with several other secret guards stationed in Yangzhou, and immediately sent a pigeon to deliver the news to Chang'an. It is estimated that the news has now reached the emperor.

Maybe there will be news coming from Chang'an in the next few days. It will depend on how the emperor arranges it then. If there is nothing else, it won't be too late for them to leave.

They were afraid that the emperor would order Gao Zhili to take the secret decree and directly mobilize the troops from Yangzhou to act at his discretion. By then, they would have all gone to Jiaozhou, and would then have to rush back.

...

Sure enough, on the fifth day, when Su Qinchao and Gao Zhili were getting bored, Qi Min finally brought the latest news from Chang'an.

According to the letter, the emperor was furious after receiving the news and lost his temper in the court that day.

He angrily rebuked the four provincial governors who were still reporting on their work in Chang'an, and issued three edicts on the spot.

First, he ordered the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Fu Qiong to be the imperial envoy, who immediately went to Yangzhou to investigate the case, and granted him the imperial sword, allowing him to act at his discretion.

Second, order Gao Zhili and Su Qinchao to suspend the four-state inspection plan and fully assist Fu Qiong in handling this case.

Third, order all prefectures and cities to immediately eliminate all Wushisan, and those who violate the order will be executed immediately.

After hearing the news brought by Qi Min, Su Qinchao and Gao Zhili looked at each other before speaking:

"In this case, it will take some time for Imperial Envoy Fu to come. In the next few days, we will thoroughly investigate all officials who may be involved in the case, so as to avoid a rush when the Imperial Envoy arrives."

"I thought so too. It's almost the end of the month, and I plan to go to Yizhou with the Weiyuan Escort Agency in person." Qi Min also nodded.

Therefore, the two of them stayed in Yangzhou for nearly a month. Only after Qi Min, who had gone to Yizhou to obtain evidence, returned did they finally wait for the dusty imperial envoy's procession.

...

"Zhili, are these the evidences you have found these days?" Imperial Envoy Fu looked at the large table in front of him with evidence classified into categories, flipped through it, and asked with a smile.

It seems that these two people investigated very carefully, and even found out that these people had bullied men and women and embezzled the land of the common people in the past.

Such matters that were not related to Wushisan and the trafficking of arms were also recorded in detail.

It seems that there will be a massacre in Yangzhou this time, Imperial Envoy Fu thought, and couldn't help stroking the imperial sword hanging at his waist.

"Yes, now among the officials of Yangzhou Prefecture, including the Maritime Customs, only a few military officers and the Yangzhou prefectural government are relatively clean. The rest are all involved in the case." Gao Zhili bowed and answered truthfully.

"Your Excellency, the grain transport system is also not clean, but the governor of the grain transport system was killed some time ago." Su Qinchao added.

"I also heard about this on the way here. Since he is also a criminal, he is dead! There is no need to try him!"

After saying this, Imperial Envoy Fu immediately took out his seal and handed it to Ling Su Qinchao, ordering him to lead a team of soldiers he brought with him, lock up the people according to the list, and arrest the officials involved in the case together, to be interrogated in court tomorrow.

"Yes!" Su Qinchao took the seal and selected a team of people from the yard to go down to do the work. On this day, the people of Yangzhou witnessed with their own eyes that the weather in Yangzhou had changed.

Normally, these high-ranking officials who were arrogant to them were now all dressed in middle-aged clothes, with their hands tied with chains. They were dragged out of the government office one by one in a miserable state and taken to the prefectural government office.

...

The case was tried for more than half a month before the officials involved were arrested one by one and had to sign their names.

Once the imperial seal is stamped on the document and it is sent to Chang'an by express horse, and the emperor approves it, these people can be convicted.

Then we'll temporarily fill the vacant position, and the job will be done.

When the time comes, those who should be exiled will be exiled, and those who should be beheaded will be beheaded. It will be very clear without any dragging of the feet.

"Where are you going?" Gao Zhili called out to Su Qinchao who was about to go out again. Since the case was over, he found that this man often ran out and he didn't know what he was doing.

"I'm going to see Xingxian." Su Qinchao said truthfully, "You can come with me. He has been getting more and more confused recently. Didn't he think you were an immortal last time? Go and comfort him."

"Are you interested in him?" Gao Zhili looked at Su Qinchao suspiciously.

"No, I just think it's a pity to see such a beautiful person die like this!"

"Really? You should know that he will be exiled in the future." Gao Zhili reminded him.

"Speaking of which, I want to ask you to do something~"

"What's the matter? It's impossible to change his sentence! After all, he committed murder!" It was because he killed a corrupt official that Imperial Envoy Fu gave him a light sentence of exile.

"No, I want you to talk to Lord Fu for me and sentence him to Yanmen Pass. I have acquaintances there who can protect him. Otherwise, with his condition, he probably won't survive more than two days."

If he is tortured to death by someone, it will be such a sin. Alas, he is already miserable enough!

"Of course he can, but according to your idea, he will be in danger on the way there!" Everyone knows how the exiled prisoners will be treated on the road, and the results are the same.

"That's fine. I sent a pigeon letter to the princess a few days ago, asking her to help me take some time off. I think there will be news in two days."

"You really are..." After hearing his words, Gao Zhili was speechless.

"Let's go, let's go!" Su Qin walked over, pulled the person and went straight to the prison.

Along the way, Su Qinchao also asked Gao Zhili to pretend to be an immortal and tell Xingxian that he was entrusting him to himself.

"You said you don't like him!" Gao Zhili rolled his eyes. If he didn't like him, why did he care so much about it?

"Really not! When have I ever lied to you?" Su Qinchao wanted to raise his hand and swear that he really just had a love for beauty.

"That's right~"

...

When the two men arrived at the prison, they met Xingxian. Sure enough, this time Xingxian knelt down and crawled towards him as soon as she saw Gao Zhili.

Over these days, Xingxian became thinner and her eye sockets became sunken.

"Are you here to take me away, Immortal?" Xingxian knelt in front of Gao Zhili and hugged his calves sincerely.

"Yes, this is my guardian celestial official. When the time comes, you just follow him and he will keep you safe!" Gao Zhili told Xingxian exactly what Su Qinchao had made up on the road.

"Can this Heavenly Official really protect me?" After hearing this, Xingxian finally shifted her gaze to Su Qinchao.

Seeing him standing there with an extraordinary look and clear eyes, I immediately believed him a little more.

"Okay, I'll go with him!" As long as I can save myself, I don't want to stay in this hell any longer.

 …

Princess Yucheng's reply letter was sent by express horse from Chang'an together with the emperor's edict. The person who came this time was Shen Yong, Su Qinchao's colleague in the Jinwu Guard.

"What good thing have you done? Why did the princess seem a little angry when she summoned me over?" Shen Yong handed the letter to Su Qinchao in confusion.

"I just want to ask for leave to go to Yanmen Pass." Su Qin touched the tip of his nose guiltily.

"Really?" Shen Yong looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that things must not be as simple as he said. However, since Su Qinchao was unwilling to say, he did not ask any more questions.

...

Su Qinchao took the letter, thanked Shen Yong, and then found a place where no one was around and read it carefully. The first sentence in the letter from Princess Yucheng was to scold Su Qinchao for ignoring the law and rejecting the matter.

However, the letter also mentioned He Pin, telling him that her place was not his shelter, and that since He Pin could barely be used this time, she would let it go, and asked him not to throw the people he picked up to the princess's mansion in the future.

But in the end, Princess Yucheng still helped him think of another solution.

It was said that a letter had been written and given to the imperial envoy, asking him to change Xingxian's sentence and send her to the Yangzhou Jiaofangsi. In this way, Su Qinchao could then take the silver and go to the Jiaofangsi to redeem her.

He also said that because Xingxian committed a serious murder, her household registration could only be changed from a prostitute to a slave...

Therefore, the next day after the imperial envoy read out the emperor's edict in public, Su Qinchao borrowed 500 taels of silver from Gao Zhili and went to the Jiaofangsi to redeem Xingxian.

I don’t know if it’s because he was released from prison these two days, but he looks much better.

Although his mind was still a little unclear, he didn't seem as crazy as before.

"Tianguan, can I really leave now?" Xingxian stood obediently, looking up at Su Qinchao, allowing him to put a veil on her.

Although he had been transferred from prison to the Jiaofang Division in the past two days, he was still locked in his room and was not allowed to step out of the door. Until now, this heavenly official really came to take him away.

"Of course, you don't have to be afraid anymore. I will always protect you."

Su Qin smiled gently and tied Xingxian's veil carefully before letting him sit in the carriage. He then jumped onto the front shaft and drove the carriage himself towards the exit of the city.

When he came, he had explained everything clearly to Gao Zhili. As the large group of people that Fu Qinshi was leading back to Chang'an was too large, he was afraid that Xingxian would be frightened.

Therefore, he did not plan to go with them this time. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take Xingxian on a leisurely tour back home in advance, and take the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers along the way to relax.

He could also ask in the towns he passed by whether there were any particularly famous doctors. It would be great if he could cure Xingxian.

Otherwise, we can't let him go crazy like this. It's such a pity to ruin such a beautiful woman.

According to Su Qinchao's idea, if such a beauty was sober, it would be a pleasing sight even if he just looked at her in front of him.

...

Along the way, one of them was concentrating on being the coachman, driving the carriage on the road, while the other was hiding inside the carriage, carefully lifting the curtain from time to time, curiously looking at the outside world.

Occasionally, when they could not make it to the next post station at night and had to rest in the wild, Su Qinchao would let Xingxian sleep alone in the carriage, while he would sleep beside the carriage and would never touch him at all.

Therefore, as time went on, Xingxian became more and more dependent on Su Qinchao. Sometimes when they were strolling around crowded places, she would take the initiative to pull Su Qinchao's sleeve, for fear that she would be left behind.

"Tian Guan!" Xingxian opened the car door and called Su Qinchao in a trembling voice.

"What's wrong?" Su Qinchao was busy driving the car and did not look back.

"My stomach hurts." Xingxian covered her stomach with her hands and fell down with cold sweat on her face. There was a thud, and Su Qinchao was so scared that he quickly reined in the horse and stopped the carriage.

"Are you having diarrhea? Do you want to go to the toilet?" Su Qinchao turned around and asked anxiously.

"No...yes, it's just...my stomach...hurts!" Xingxian was so pale with pain at this moment that she could hardly speak.

"Could it be appendicitis?" Su Qinchao looked at his painful expression and didn't care about anything else for a moment.

He carried the person directly into the carriage, then turned the carriage onto the official road and galloped towards the nearest city.

...

"Doctor, please check what's wrong with him." Su Qinchao ran into the clinic quickly, holding Xingxian, who had fainted from the pain, and rushed to a doctor with white hair and beard to ask him to feel his pulse.

"Nothing happened. I just haven't had a good meal for a long time. Now my stomach disease has come back. Wait for me to prescribe a decoction. It will be relieved after you take it."

After taking the patient's pulse, the old doctor calmly picked up the pen and carefully wrote down the prescription. After the ink had dried a little, he handed it to the disciple beside him and told him to get the medicine and bring it to the patient after it was boiled.

...

"Ah!!!" When Xingxian woke up, it was already night. He looked at the dim and unfamiliar environment around him and couldn't help but scream in fear.

"What's wrong?" Hearing his scream, Su Qinchao, who was sitting behind the screen reading a book, hurried over and spoke to comfort him.

"Where is this?" Xingxian saw Su Qinchao and jumped off the bed in panic. She rushed over and grabbed his clothes tightly with both hands: "It's so dark here, I'm so scared!"

"Okay, I'm behind the screen! I said I will always protect you, okay?" Su Qin patted his shoulder soothingly and comforted him softly.

After his emotions calmed down, he picked up the still warm medicine beside him and coaxed the man to drink it.

After drinking the medicine and watching Xingxian fall asleep again due to the effects of the medicine, Su Qinchao slowly went back behind the screen and started reading the book.

...

"Mr. Su!" The old doctor called Su Qinchao, who was carrying the medicine towards the wing room. After hesitating for a moment, he said to him in an unnatural low voice:

"Your servant's health has deteriorated significantly. It would be better if he doesn't have sex with her in the next few months..."

"Ah? Well, no, he is not my little servant..." Su Qin looked at the confused old doctor and said that, then walked away at a rapid pace, obviously not intending to listen to him.

Forget it, Su Qinchao shook his head and resigned himself to taking the medicine back to the room. It was pointless to explain such a thing, and no one would believe it.

"Here, this is the last dose of medicine. I'll give you candied fruit after you drink it." Su Qinchao handed the medicine bowl to Xingxian, who was sitting on the couch and concentrating on untying the Nine Rings.

"I'll drink it later!" Xingxian stared straight at the Nine Rings in his hand without even raising his head.

"No, it's useless if it's cold. Be good, I'll teach you how to solve it later, okay?" Su Qinchao found this nine-ring chain for him to kill time and exercise his brain at the same time.

"No, I want to solve it myself!" After hearing his words, Xingxian hid the Nine Rings behind her.

"Okay, you can solve it yourself, but you have to drink the medicine first!"
