"Someone's fainted! Someone's fainted! Make way, make way!"

A man was holding a pregnant woman and marching out. Behind him were Cao An's elite soldiers. "Stop! Put her down!"

Just when the pregnant woman was about to be examined, she suddenly fainted.

When her husband, who was with her, saw this, he picked her up and ran away without saying a word!

Cao An happened to be in front of them. Upon seeing this, he immediately sent someone to stop them. "Catch them! Don't let them get out!"

You still want to run away when the time comes?

If not guilty conscience, then what is it?!

Cao An personally followed behind him. He had a hunch that the person the man was holding must be Madam Wen in disguise!

"Get out of the way! Get out of my way!"

The man knew nothing, he only knew that his wife had been crying in pain in her arms. He and his wife were both farmers, but his wife was in poor health, they went everywhere to seek medical advice, and finally had this child.

Even if he dies, he can't let anything happen to his wife and children!

"Stop it for me!"

brush!brush!brush!

The elite soldiers stood in front of the man, drew their swords, and finally stopped him. Bare fists cannot defeat four hands. Seeing this, the man's hands were shaking while holding his wife, but he knew that he could not retreat!

If you retreat, there will be no way to survive!

"Please let us go, sir. My wife's stomach hurts so much that she can't wait any longer! If we stay here, something will happen to the child!" The man wished he could grow wings and fly away, but the reality was that his straight legs slowly bent.

"Sir, please let us go!"

He knelt there, his back as tall as a mountain, but it seemed as if he was being pressed down by a huge rock and he couldn't lift it up.

At this time, Cao An finally arrived and walked over with the help of everyone.

"He's healthy and well, a grown man, why does he walk like an old lady?" Someone was murmuring, Zhuhong listened without turning around, and even her eyes didn't change.

This is not a good time to be nosy.

But the people behind her obviously didn't realize the tension of the situation and stood up directly, "Sir, we are also legitimate citizens of Shengjing, blessed by the emperor and loved by our parents. You can arrest people if you want, but now that someone is about to die, it's a bit inappropriate for you to not release them, isn't it?"

A young pregnant woman walked out quickly from behind Zhuhong.

Her belly was twice as big as Zhuhong's, but she walked freely, without even the support of anyone beside her, and she walked in front of Cao An by herself.

Cao An frowned slightly, trying to recall the identity of this woman.

He seemed to have never seen it.

Cao An has extensive connections in Shengjing. As a popular figure around the emperor, he knows all the powerful people inside out.

If this woman was not a daughter of an aristocratic family who had been raised in seclusion, then her status must be so low that she had never caught his eye.

"How dare you! I am investigating a case, how can you disturb us?" Cao An's eyes were cold, and his men surrounded the two men tightly. "If you speak rudely again, I will arrest you as a rioter!"

"A mere eunuch! What a great prestige!"

The people around the woman wanted to pull her, but failed. When Zhuhong turned her head, she met their eyes - helpless yet doting.

She felt a slight movement in her heart, called Chunxi, and got up from Liu'an's body.

Zhu Hong smiled and said, "I'm much better now."

She led the people in the mansion to retreat to the side, but Cao An still saw them at a glance. After all, when he went to the Marquis's Mansion, Cao An had some impression of this concubine, but now he had no time to care about her.

I don’t know where this country woman came from, but she actually wanted to delay his business!

This concerns his life and property, and no one is allowed to destroy it!

"Someone, come and take her down for me!" Cao An ordered his men to take the woman down, while at the same time he sent people to check the pregnant woman in the man's arms. He stood in the middle of the crowd with his chin raised, not taking the people present seriously at all.

For the truly powerful and wealthy families, Cao An would set up a separate tent and inspect them first.

So even though they disliked Cao An's trouble, when they saw that they were treated better than others, those powerful people did not make a big fuss.

Logically speaking, the specifications of Marquis Changning should also be matched to the tent.

But who can blame Zhuhong for being just a concubine... Unless it is Shen Ruoyan who comes, even if it is Fang Rou, she has to wait here obediently!

She is favored in the Marquis' Mansion, but outside, she is still nothing!

An aunt is just an aunt. In a noble family, she is just a toy for entertainment. How could she be looked up to by others?

Zhu Hong also understood this truth, so she led her people to retreat to the side. Apart from Cao An, she had the most people here, but Zhu Hong knew in her heart that these people were here to protect the baby in her belly, not to support her.

"My Lord, it's not..."

The examiner came to Cao An with great difficulty and went to such great lengths, but to his surprise, he found out that she was just an ordinary woman!

Cao An's expression suddenly turned ugly. "How could it not be? How could it not be?!"

He has captured all the pregnant women in the city and brought them here, but after so long, he still hasn't found the person. How is he going to explain to the emperor?

"Untouchable! Since you are not an inferior, why are you running away?!" Cao An couldn't swallow this breath. Hatred flashed in his eyes. He wished he could kill everyone present to relieve his anger!

However, there happened to be someone who could help him vent his anger. Cao An sneered, "Take all these unruly people who deliberately obstructed public affairs and put them in jail to await their fate!"

"Yes!"

The elite soldiers with knives directly arrested the man and his wife. The man was horrified, "Sir, we are not assassins, why are you arresting us! My wife is pregnant, how can you put her in jail?!"

He kept struggling, and became even more anxious when he saw that his wife was so weak that she couldn't even speak.

"Catch me if you want! Leave my wife alone!"

Cao An looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a corpse, "Don't worry, none of you can escape."

"How dare you! What crime have I committed that you want to arrest me too?" Before the elite soldier even got close to the woman, the people around her attacked. The people around her didn't even see the moves clearly, they only heard a clang, and the knife in the elite soldier's hand actually slipped out of his hand!

"You are obstructing the investigation. I suspect you are related to the assassin. If you are wronged, go and shout in the prison!"

Cao An gave the order again, and this time, at least ten elite soldiers surrounded them.

There were only two people around the woman, how could she hold off so many people?

Zhuhong couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned away.

She couldn't do anything, couldn't save, could only avoid the sight, not look or listen.

"Eunuch! You are just a dog beside the emperor. What kind of official are you? You dare to catch me? Today, I will let you see the Beggar Gang's Dog Beating Stick Technique, which is specially designed to beat lapdogs like you who can't tell right from wrong and bully others by taking advantage of their power!"
