Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Xing'er's face turned pale instantly when she heard this. She stammered, "Little Miss, you are lying to me, right? How could anything happen to the master?"

Zhao Gupan cried and shook her head, "It's true. Although the emperor only ordered father to be suspended from his post today, that's because there's no evidence to convict him. Once the evidence is confirmed, we won't be able to escape. My eldest brother will never lie to me. Run quickly. I just saw mother leave the house overnight."

After saying that, she continued packing her things despite Xing'er's attempts to stop her.

Xing'er looked at her packing her things in a daze, and finally couldn't help but ran out of the house.

Seeing Xing'er running out of the house, Zhao Gupan stopped crying, looked outside with deep eyes, then wiped her tears and continued to pack her things, but this time she did not rummage through the boxes and cabinets, but only packed the banknotes, silver and valuable jewelry and clothes, and then packed a few clean and inconspicuous old clothes, put on light clothes and dressed herself up like a maid.

After everything was ready, she blew out the oil lamp in the room, sat on the bed and waited quietly.

Xing'er did not pack up and run away, but went to inquire about the news first. She had a sister with whom she had a good relationship who worked as a second-class maid in Madam Zhao's courtyard.

She went to ask her sister and found that Mrs. Zhao was indeed not there. She didn't know where she had gone. She was immediately panicked and believed that what Zhao Gupan said was true.

Then she told the sister what Zhao Gupan said and hurried back to Zhao Gupan's yard to pack her things.

There were also four maids in Zhao Gupan's yard. Seeing that she was not on night duty but packing up things late at night, the other maids asked curiously.

She was a talkative person, and thinking that since they were all sisters, they should run away together, she told everything she knew. The other sisters were frightened and followed suit to get cleaned up.

After packing up, they picked up their bags and sneaked out. They would definitely be discovered if they sneaked out. After being caught, they told what they knew in order to escape. Soon, many servants in the Zhao Mansion knew about the incident in the mansion.

In particular, the maid in Madam Zhao's courtyard became panicked when she couldn't find Madam Zhao in the mansion.

It didn't take long for the entire Zhao Mansion to fall into chaos. Some servants were busy packing up and running away, while others were busy catching the servants who had escaped.

Zhao Gupan calculated that the time was almost up, so he picked up his bag and quietly joined the servants who were fleeing.

She had an advantage in running away because she was not favored. Her courtyard and Zhao Liangchen's courtyard were both very remote, and the side courtyard was close to the corner gate. When she took advantage of the chaos to sneak to the corner gate, the gatekeeper had already gone away, so she ran out of the Zhao Mansion smoothly.

After leaving the Zhao Mansion, she was afraid of the imperial guards patrolling the streets, so she did not run around. Instead, she ran towards a small house to the west of the Zhao Mansion. That house belonged to Zhao Liangchen.

Although Zhao Liangchen has been trying hard to get his father's approval, he is not so stupid as to not prepare anything for himself. He knows that there will be no place for him in the Zhao family in the future, and there will be no property for him, so after saving enough money, he bought himself a small house.

No one else knew about this house, but Zhao Gupan knew it. In her previous life, Zhao Liangchen told her that if she was bullied in the mansion, she could hide in that house when he was not around.

Therefore, the first thing Zhao Gupan thought of when he left the Zhao Mansion was that place.

At this moment, Zhao Liangchen was sitting on the roof of his room, listening to the chaotic sounds of the entire Zhao Mansion. He watched Zhao Gupan leave, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up: "My dear sister, you really did not disappoint your big brother's expectations of you."

He always knew that his sister was smart. She was able to live like this despite being so unpopular and got everything she wanted. How could she not be smart?

Guessing that the escaped servants had attracted most of the people who were monitoring outside the Zhao Mansion, he turned around and left the Zhao Mansion.

He didn't want to escape, but went to Qi Lusheng's house first.

Qi Lusheng's father was the Marquis of Wuning. Although he had a title, he did not hold an official position. He was a literary giant who only liked to write.

Qi Lusheng is the second son in the family. His father is a very casual person. He only does his own things every day and doesn't care about anything else. His biggest hobby is painting. He himself is not very motivated, so he has low expectations for his son.

Qi Lusheng met Zhao Liangchen when he was a child when he was fighting with others outside. At that time, he was rich and always liked to dress flashy, which aroused the jealousy and disgust of other young masters. They always looked for opportunities to beat him. Zhao Liangchen saved him once, so the relationship between the two has always been good.

Because Zhao Liangchen was still under house arrest, he went to Qi's house instead of going through the door, but climbed over the wall.

Qi Lusheng's family only had a few guards and not many watchmen, so Zhao Liangchen easily reached Qi Lusheng's yard.

Qi Lusheng hadn't married yet and lived alone. When Zhao Liangchen landed in Qi Lusheng's yard, the servant in the yard saw him. However, after realizing it was him, the servant didn't panic. Instead, he smiled and greeted him: "Young Master Zhao, you're here to drink with our young master again."

Zhao Liangchen smiled and nodded: "Yes, has the Lusheng stopped playing?"

Before the servant could answer, the window was pushed open. Qi Lusheng put on a big smile and said, "Why are you here? Aren't you under house arrest?"

Zhao Liangchen smiled and replied, "It's just house arrest, not imprisonment. Why can't I come?"

Qi Lusheng had already reached the door and opened it, greeting him: "Come in, I've been worried about you."

Zhao Liangchen followed suit and entered the room.

Qi Lusheng first pulled him over to look at him: "Are you okay?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head, then touched his stomach and said a little aggrievedly: "Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Qi Lusheng's face showed a trace of heartache: "Why didn't your family leave any food for you?"

Zhao Liangchen: "I did keep it, but it's cold, so I let it go."

Qi Lusheng looked at him in shock. "Oh, you're angry? Didn't they torture you in the past? Didn't you always put up with it? Why are you so angry this time?"

Zhao Liangchen didn't want to say more and complained, "I'm starving. Is there anything to eat?"

Qi Lusheng said helplessly: "Yes, you can come anytime."

After saying that, he opened the door and ordered, "Go and get two bowls of noodles, with more meat."

The servant responded and ran away quickly.

Qi Lusheng closed the door and asked Zhao Liangchen to sit down. He asked with concern, "Does this matter have anything to do with your father?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "I don't know. You know, my father doesn't like me. How could he tell me such a big thing?"

Qi Lusheng was a little angry and slammed the table in anger: "He doesn't like you, but he wants to implicate you. If he didn't do this, it would be fine. If he did, I would go and scold him first. He didn't do anything and implicated his wife and children."

Then he looked at Zhao Liangchen with some worry: "Liangchen, this matter is really too big. To be honest with you, I went to see my uncle as soon as I heard about this today. He said that if the prisoner is really your father's replacement, you probably won't survive. You know my uncle's temper, he is stubborn. If your father really committed a crime and implicated you, I can't save you."

Zhao Liangchen patted Qi Lusheng's arm and smiled gently: "Don't worry, I will be fine. My father should not be stupid enough to exchange prisoners himself. He has no reason to do so. Although Zhao Kuo is a member of the Zhao family, he is a side branch. He is not worth my father risking the lives of the whole family to save him, unless my father is also involved in the case of embezzling disaster relief funds. But how could my father, a member of the Ministry of War, get his hands on disaster relief funds?

So I suspect that Zhao Kuo and the others were rescued by the people who actually embezzled the disaster relief funds. As long as we find Zhao Kuo and the others, not only can we eliminate my father's suspicion, but we might also be able to find the disaster relief funds.

Even if my father really rescued Zhao Kuo and the others, you don't have to worry. I won't surrender obediently. I will run away and leave here to become a chivalrous hero in the world of martial arts.
