The system jumped to me

The guards surrounding everyone in the inn all drew their long swords, and the scene immediately became tense.

Li Lianhua gripped Buwei's hand tightly, ready to break through and leave at any moment.

"Miss."

Hua Xiaozhou gave him a reassuring look. She had already observed the weak point in the encirclement, and the left front was just right. If a fight really broke out, she would immediately cover Buwei's escape and then kill Yu Hongzhu and his wife.

As the blade drew near, everyone retreated and gathered in the center, and for a moment, it was extremely quiet.

The maid, Li'er, was so frightened that her legs went weak. Suddenly, she remembered something.

"Li Lianhua, aren't you the Medicine Demon? Why haven't you made a move yet? Your wife saved Wangfu, you can't just stand by and watch us all die unjustly, can you?"

"Li'er, don't talk nonsense!"

"Huh?" Li Lianhua didn't expect that anyone would suspect him of being the Medicine Demon.

Upon hearing that Li Lianhua might be able to save people, everyone in the inn began to plead with him.

"Are you out of your mind? He's not a drug addict, he's just a bunch of lunatics. Can't you control your people?"

Hua Xiaozhou was almost laughing in exasperation; her hands were so itchy!

"Young Master, Li Lianhua matches the description of the Medicine Demon in the manual so well, how could she not be him?"

"Madam Yu, he really isn't..."

Who is Li Lianhua?

"Oh, I am Li Lianhua."

Not because Li Lianhua gently pushed him, he retreated to Hua Xiaozhou's side.

Seeing Li Lianhua like this, Hua Xiaozhou could only hold Buwei's hand and watch as Li Lianhua was escorted into the palace.

"The rest of them were put back in jail."

"Your husband is inside, are you really not going to do anything? I can help you."

Liu Ruiying turned her head and watched as Yu Hongzhu led people into the hall.

"No need. He pushed Buwei to me because he wants me to protect Buwei. Don't worry about him. If anything happens, I'll just take Buwei away and he'll come looking for us."

Although Liu Ruiying knew that Li Lianhua had some martial arts skills, she didn't know how strong he was. Seeing that Hua Xiaozhou trusted him so much, she didn't try to persuade him any further.

"What about you guys? Didn't you say you had a plan? You've been locked up the whole time, how are you going to make a move?"

"Tonight at midnight, it will be the seventh day. I'll break into the house early to meet her. Do you want to come with me?"

Hua Xiaozhou's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll bring Buwei along. Don't worry, he definitely won't hold us back. Buwei has also studied it."

He was excited, even without just a nod. It was his first time doing something like this, and with his mother no less! He loved it!

"Young Master, I'm sorry, I just want Li Lianhua to stop hiding. The knife is already at his throat, so he should use whatever he can. At least there's a way."

Fang Duobing had a sour face; he didn't dare look at Hua Xiaozhou or Buwei.

"Li'er, I will find a way to get you out of this mess. When that happens, you can come home!"

"Master..."

Tears streamed down Li'er's face. She hadn't expected the young master to value Li Lianhua so much. If only she had known… if only she had known…

"That's settled then. I'll find the guards later, identify myself, and have them send you back."

"Go back? You think you can just walk away after causing trouble for others?"

Hua Xiaozhou had just finished whispering with Liu Ruiying when she overheard the conversation in front of her.

"Oh... wait? Young Master Zongzheng?"

Just as Fang Duobing was about to apologize, he turned around and saw an acquaintance. Now, someone could help him verify his identity.

Zongzheng Mingzhu stopped and turned to look at him; the face was indeed familiar.

"I am often ill. My father is Fang Zeshi, the Minister of Revenue. Do you remember me? We met at your grandfather's birthday banquet. Do you remember me?"

Zongzheng Mingzhu immediately recognized it and exclaimed with delight:

"It really is you, Young Master Fang. What are you doing here? What's going on?"
