Zhao Zhenyuan woke up as soon as Sun Yi entered the door, but thinking it was still early, he didn't want to pay attention to Sun Yi. Unexpectedly, Sun Yi rushed over and hugged him, which scared him.

He pushed Sun Yi away angrily, sat up, and said, "I'm hungry, do you have breakfast?"

Sun Yi was so happy to see Zhao Zhenyuan coming back that he said cheerfully, "Yes, yes, yes, I made some millet porridge and steamed some big buns. I'll bring them to Brother Zhao right away."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he stood up and jumped out to get breakfast. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw a group of soldiers breaking open the gate that was not closed tightly and rushing towards him.

Sun Yi was shocked when he saw the officers filling the yard, wondering what they were doing barging in so early in the morning.

Before Sun Yi could speak, the leader saw Sun Yi and asked coldly, "Are you Sun Yi?"

Sun Yi was an honest man who never caused trouble and had never dealt with the police. Now that he was yelled at by the police, he felt a little flustered and stuttered, "Sir, I am Sun Yi."

When the leader heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Take it away."

Two officers immediately stepped forward and held Sun Yi down.

Sun Yi got anxious when he heard this and shouted, "Sir, I didn't do anything wrong, why are you arresting me?"

The team leader said coldly: "It is not up to you to decide whether or not to make a mistake."

Sun Yi asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this, sir?"

The team leader tightened the knife in his hand. He had killed too many people during this period. He knew that his sins were grave and difficult to redeem. He just hoped that he could die more peacefully without suffering so much torture.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, then said with a serious face: "You are wrong. You shouldn't go to the suburbs to help build houses."

"What? I went to help build the house to earn money. What did I do wrong?" Sun Yi shouted.

But the team leader ignored him and ordered his men to stuff a rag into Sun Yili's mouth and planned to drag him away.

At this moment, Zhao Zhenyuan walked out of the house, holding a spear wrapped in black cloth in his hand, and said coldly: "I'll see who dares to touch him!"

Although Zhao Zhenyuan was dark and thin, the light in his eyes seemed to be able to shock people. His terrifying aura swept through like a hurricane, and all the officials in the yard could not help but step back several steps.

When Sun Yi saw Zhao Zhenyuan coming out, he was like seeing a savior. He quickly struggled to break free from the official's hand and limped to Zhao Zhenyuan's side. He was so scared that he was about to cry. He said aggrievedly: "Brother Zhao, he, they bullied me."

Zhao Zhenyuan glanced at the tears in Sun Yi's eyes and couldn't help but sigh secretly. How could this big and strong man be like a woman, crying at every turn? But seeing the tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. Why?

Seeing that Zhao Zhenyuan's momentum was too powerful, the team leader did not dare to go up to him to cause trouble for a while. However, when he saw that Zhao Zhenyuan was alone and he brought more than a dozen officers with him, relying on his large numbers, the team leader suddenly felt less afraid.

He raised his knife and said, "When will it be your turn as an ordinary citizen to stop the police from investigating a case? If you don't want to die, get out of here now."

Sun Yi was terrified when he heard this. He grabbed Zhao Zhenyuan's sleeve and cried, "Brother Zhao, please don't ignore me."

Zhao Zhenyuan really wanted to kick Sun Yi away. If he had seen a soldier like this in the army, he would have kicked him back home long ago.

But considering that Sun Yi cooked for him and fed the horses, he decided to endure it.

Zhao Zhenyuan said to Sun Yi, "I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen to make breakfast. Don't come out unless I tell you to."

Sun Yi refused to leave. He thought that if he left, these officials would embarrass Zhao Zhenyuan alone. He couldn't be so disloyal. So he straightened his back and said, "I won't leave. I won't let them bully you."

Zhao Zhenyuan could no longer bear it, so he picked up Sun Yi and threw him into the house. Then he slammed the door and stuck the silver spear into the door handle. Now Sun Yi couldn't get out even if he wanted to.

Sun Yi was banging on the door in the room, but Zhao Zhenyuan pretended not to hear.

Zhao Zhenyuan took a few steps forward, stared at the leader and said, "What a powerful official! Did Qian Jingui send you to kill people to silence them?"

The leader showed a bit of panic when the purpose of the trip was revealed, but he quickly suppressed it. He waved the knife in his hand and shouted, "Don't blame us if you want to die."

I never thought Qian Jingui was so heartless. In order to cover up the fact that he was raising private soldiers, he actually killed all the people who built the house to silence them.

These people are accomplices, Zhao Zhenyuan will not let any of them go.

Zhao Zhenyuan just raised his hand, and the leader's sword appeared in his hand. Everyone's eyes were blurred, and before they could react what was happening, a bloody mark appeared on their necks, and then a large amount of blood spurted out from the bloody mark. In the blink of an eye, these people all fell down with their eyes wide open, and they died with their eyes open.

Zhao Zhenyuan threw the knife in his hand away and said with disgust: "Killing these people is simply dirtying my hands."

After Zhao Zhenyuan finished speaking, he raised his hand and the gate slammed shut. Then he turned and went to the room where he lived. Just as he took the silver spear away, Sun Yi rushed out. But when he saw the corpses all over the yard, he felt a black screen before his eyes. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Zhao Zhenyuan quickly grabbed him.

Sun Yi trembled and asked, "Yes, you killed them? Who are you?"

Zhao Zhenyuan said: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that someone wants to kill you to silence you."

This time Sun Yi was shaking even more violently, and he even started sobbing and crying breathlessly, looking very pitiful.

Zhao Zhenyuan thought about it, and considering that he had fed his horse sincerely for a few days, he said, "It's hard for you to make a living with a lame leg. I'll give you some money, and you can go to the capital to find the Marshal's Mansion immediately. I'll ask my daughter to find a job for you in the Marshal's Mansion."

Sun Yi looked at Zhao Zhenyuan with tears in her eyes and said, "Are you the steward of the Marshal's Mansion? Does your daughter keep her word? What if your master doesn't want me? I have no relatives in the capital, and I'm unfamiliar with the place. If the Marshal's Mansion doesn't want me, won't I starve to death on the street?"

Sun Yi asked one question after another. Zhao Zhenyuan really didn't have time to argue with him. He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. These were from the King of Beixiang. He picked out the smallest denomination banknote and handed it to Sun Yi, saying, "Take the banknote and go wherever you like. Anyway, you can't stay in Huai'an City."

Sun Yi took the banknote with both hands and saw that it was only one thousand taels! He was so frightened that his hands trembled and the banknote was almost torn in half.

Sun Yi looked at the banknotes, then looked at Zhao Zhenyuan, and said, "Brother Zhao, it's too much."

Zhao Zhenyuan said: "This money should be enough for you to go to the capital. Stop talking nonsense and hire a car to go as far as you can."

Zhao Zhenyuan paused, and then said, "Don't leave the city through the main gate today. Remember, don't leave the city through the main gate."
