Changing back into men's clothes, Bai Sui'an put on a mask and arrived at the gate of the yamen.

Unlike last time, after the new county magistrate arrived, many people came to try to unveil the list. Now there were quite a few people standing in front of the list, and the frequency of announcing the list changed from five per day to seven per day.

But the difficulty remains the same. It's just that without the help of the government, even if the person who reveals the notice fails to catch the person, he will not suffer serious injuries that are difficult to recover from like before.

The people in front were all tall and strong men, and Bai Sui'an had to squeeze to the front to see the list.

Just as he pushed aside the big man in front of him and was about to move forward, someone behind him grabbed Bai Sui'an's shoulders.

Reacting quickly, Bai Sui'an grabbed the other person and tried to throw him out, but the man quickly begged for mercy.

"Brother An! Brother An! It's me!"

Bai Sui'an turned around and looked at the person who came and immediately recognized him.

It turned out to be someone close to the young master of the Wan family, the guard named Ah Hu.

Many people around looked over, and Bai Sui'an took them to a place with few people.

"Did your young master ask you to come to me?" Bai Sui'an asked.

Ah Hu nodded: "He said your medicine is very effective. Now the master has left for home and needs to find you to quickly set the price! I've been waiting for you here for two days, and I finally see you!"

"Then go back and tell him that I'll go to the government office and talk to him after I've finished my business."

"it is good."

In addition to the bounty order that Bai Sui'an saw last time, there is also a bounty order for escorting on the list. The two bounties added later are of the type of buying information, which is not difficult.

After reading it, Bai Sui'an did not choose to pick it up immediately, but walked into the yamen.

Zhang Hao was on duty again this time. Everyone else was seriously injured that night. Now that a new official has taken office, the yamen is in the process of reorganization, so he is the only one who can sit here.

There were many people taking up the challenge, so he couldn't fall asleep. When he first met Bai Sui'an, he looked down on him, but when he saw him again, he understood Bai Sui'an's strength. This time, Zhang Hao would definitely not show any displeasure.

The moment the masked man appeared in his sight, Zhang Hao stood up to greet him: "Young Master, are you here to take the list again?"

He had a flattering smile on his face.

"Yeah." Bai Sui'an replied indifferently.

But she held nothing in her hands.

Zhang Hao picked up the paper on the table and moved it in front of Bai Sui'an: "I have a record of all the bounties announced today. This is the one with the highest reward, but..."

"Let's not announce the list yet." Bai Sui'an interrupted Zhang Hao and took out a tael of silver and gently placed it on the table, saying softly,

"Where is the man I arrested last time being held? Can I go see him?"

"This……"

That night, Zhang Hao followed Zhuying and heard the conversation between Zhuying and Su Gaoyu from behind. The implication was that if you offend Bai Sui'an, you will be punished more severely.

Although Zhang Hao felt that the silver was too little, he still put it in his pocket.

He couldn't leave, so he asked someone to take Bai Sui'an to the prison to see Weng Lai.

In the dim basement, accompanied by wailing sounds one after another, Bai Sui'an was led to the cell where Weng Lai was imprisoned.

Weng Lai admitted that it was the former county magistrate who threatened him to investigate the case. The county magistrate didn't know what was going on, but he admitted to the crime after being discovered. Now Weng Lai is just an ordinary thief who was instructed by others and has not received any punishment.

The cell door was opened. Weng Lai looked up and saw the familiar fox mask. He froze in place.

Seeing someone approaching him, his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

There was someone guarding the door, so the two of them couldn't speak too loudly.

Bai Sui'an asked, "Have you released the news about Gong Sui'an?"

Weng Lai shook his head.

"why?"

"I have been abandoned. If you hadn't come today, you would have only seen my corpse." Weng Lai's voice was unusually hoarse.

His face was pale, and I thought it was because the food in the cell was not good, but after hearing what he said, Bai Sui'an observed his weak breathing rate and realized that he had been poisoned, and it was a chronic poison.

Because Weng Lai was sure that he would die after tonight.

"Tell me everything, and I'll keep you alive."

"It's useless, there's no cure..."

"I said it can be done."

Asking the jailer for a bowl of water, Bai Sui'an secretly dripped some spiritual spring water into it and then fed it to Weng Lai.

"Drink some water to moisten your throat."

Weng Lai was puzzled, but he drank it anyway.

With the spiritual spring water diluting the poison, Weng Lai will definitely not die from the poison in a short period of time.

Perhaps the throat-moisturizing effect was really good, Weng Lai felt that his throat was not so uncomfortable anymore.

After thinking it over, he lowered his voice and told Bai Sui'an what he knew.

"I betrayed the county magistrate in order to save my own life. But the man the prefect sent down here was very cunning. He took the lead in arresting all the people who had been planted in the government office. They all thought I was the one who leaked the information, so they wouldn't let me go back."

"To show my loyalty, I took the latest poison and helped them test its effectiveness one last time."

"Since death is imminent, it's no harm telling you. I've been thinking about what you said before these past few days. You're right. Prince Chang probably has no intention of bringing His Highness back..."

"He is involved with the Qianheng Kingdom's royal family, and I'm afraid he has the help of a certain prince. Your Highness alone cannot defeat them. I believe that you really married Your Highness and had children. No matter what happens in the future, I beg you to protect Your Highness."

"The country is gone, and so is it. Your Highness, all you need to do is continue to live a simple and happy life as before."

When a person is about to die, his temperament will always change drastically. Bai Sui'an had never realized before that Weng Lai had such a side to him.

Unfortunately, the previous Bai Sui'an is already dead.

When she was in the royal family, with her parents looking after her, she could do whatever she wanted and everyone would tolerate her little temper.

But after losing his country and family, he mustered up the courage to come to Qianheng Country for revenge, but was deceived and rescued by someone with premeditated plans. After struggling for so long, he chose to continue his revenge plan after losing his source of income and was about to do bad things, so he was beaten to death with a stick.

Bai Sui'an would envy her childhood, but he didn't yearn for it.

Because she is capable, she will not let herself be helpless in doing anything when she leaves home.

"As long as you don't die tonight, I will bring you medicine tomorrow. You will survive."

Weng Lai laughed weakly and raised his hand, which still bore the scar left by Bai Sui'an. "You almost killed me before, how come it's the other way around this time?"

"I didn't intend to kill you last time, and I don't intend to kill you this time either. Just tell me whether you want to survive or not."

Bai Sui'an's expression couldn't be seen through the mask, but Weng Lai could tell from his tone that he really wanted to save his life.

He took a deep breath and exhaled, "Of course I want to live. It would be great if I could see His Highness again after I get out."

"I'll see you."

This is the only person from Tianxuan that Bai Sui'an has come into contact with. If he wants to find the whereabouts of the prince and princess, he needs to start from Weng Lai.
