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

Su Qin asked in surprise: "Will you take me to see my father?"

Zhao Liangchen nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, your entire Su family has been arrested, leaving only you and your grandmother. I don't know if your father still has a chance to get out. If not, then you are his only descendant, and he should have something to tell you."

Su Qin turned her head to look at the pot, where her grandmother's ashes were. Although this was not her biological grandmother, she had lived with her for five years, and her grandmother loved her meticulously. Her father and stepmother did not stop providing her with food, clothing, and other necessities. Instead, they hired the best female teacher to send back to her hometown to teach her. She had already regarded herself as a real member of the Su family.

No matter what, she had to go see her father, tell him the news of her grandmother's death, ask him where he wanted to bury her grandmother, and ask her what she would do in the future.

Ask her if there is anything she can do to save them.

She turned around and nodded to Zhao Liangchen: "Okay, thank you for your help."

Zhao Liangchen stood up and prepared to leave, but he saw the hatchet she had placed on the table. "This isn't suitable to be here. I'll take it away first and return it to you when you come out."

Su Qin also looked at the hatchet. She was a little hesitant. This hatchet protected her all the way. If she didn't have this hatchet, she would definitely die halfway, so she didn't want Zhao Liangchen to take it away.

She would feel very insecure without a weapon.

She tried to negotiate: "Can you please stay with me? I'll hide and promise not to cause any trouble."

Zhao Liangchen thought for a moment, then bent down and pulled out a small dagger from his boot cover and handed it to Su Qin: "Take this. It's small and not easily discovered, and it's very sharp. It can definitely protect you."

Su Qin looked at the dagger in his hand. It was very expensive, small and exquisite. She shook her head and said, "No need. You have helped me a lot. I can't take your things anymore."

The mouth that eats is soft, and the hand that takes is stingy. She has already eaten other people's things, and if she takes things again, she will not have the courage to resist Zhao Liangchen in the future.

Zhao Liangchen smiled and handed it forward again: "It's not for you, it's loaned to you. Use your axe as collateral. When you get out, you can use this to exchange for your axe."

Su Qin was convinced. Such a large axe could not appear in the cell, but she needed a weapon for self-defense, and Zhao Liangchen's suggestion was the best.

Although the value of the hatchet and the dagger cannot be compared, and the exchange is not equal, the hatchet has protected her all the way and means more to her than the dagger, so Su Qin does not think that Zhao Liangchen is at a disadvantage in this exchange.

So she reached out and took the dagger, pulled it out, the dark golden blade was gleaming, the blade was sharp, Su Qin liked it immediately.

After thanking Zhao Liangchen, Su Qin saw him looking at the big iron pot again, and immediately blocked his sight: "This is not dangerous, it should not be considered a violation, so leave it to me."

Zhao Liangchen thought about it and said nothing more. None of the criminals in the government office were serious criminals, and the supervision was not strict, so the pot should be fine.

"Then I'll leave first. Please wait for my news." After saying that, Zhao Liangchen left.

Su Qin looked around the entire cell. It was very clean and there was no particularly noticeable smell. There was a bed against the wall. Although there was no bedding on the bed, judging from the cleanliness of the cell, it was prepared for some wealthy and prestigious people.

Su Qin was really tired, so she took out a thin quilt from the bag in the pot, lay down on the bare bed, covered herself with the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.

She was really too tired. She was tense all the way and didn't dare to fall asleep. She thought there should be no danger in the prison, so she slept soundly, exhausted both physically and mentally.

After Zhao Liangchen left the government prison, he casually threw the food box in his hand into the corner of the wall.

He still held the hatchet in his hand as he slowly strolled down the street, thinking about his past life and wondering if there was any way to rescue the Su family.

Because he was thinking too deeply, hatred from his past life's experiences surged in his heart. He gripped the hatchet in his hand tighter and tighter, his whole body was filled with a murderous aura that kept strangers away, and his eyes began to become bloodshot.

He looked like he was going to fight someone to death, so people passing by stayed away from him, fearing that this person would chop them up if he got upset.

Zhao Liangchen just walked aimlessly, lost in his own emotions and unable to get out of it.

Suddenly he heard a voice calling him from afar: "Liangchen, Liangchen."

His thoughts gradually came back to his senses, and he looked towards the window on the second floor of a restaurant not far away. A man in bright clothes was waving at him happily.

He temporarily suppressed the hatred in his heart, walked to the window, looked up and asked: "Lusheng, why are you here?"

Qi Lusheng said with a smile: "Let's drink. Come up and let's have a drink together."

Zhao Liangchen shook his head and pointed at his armor: "No, I'm on duty. Let's do it another day."

Qi Lusheng waved his hand nonchalantly: "Well, with your family connections, what does it matter whether you're on duty or not? We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, come up and have a drink together."

Zhao Liangchen was in no mood to drink and wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that Qi Lusheng might be able to help him, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

He entered the restaurant with a hatchet in hand, startling the people inside. The diners all looked at him in horror. The shopkeeper hurried over and asked cautiously, "What brings you here, sir?"

Zhao Liangchen replied calmly: "Meeting friends."

The shopkeeper's mouth twitched. Are you here to meet friends or to kill people?

He pointed at the hatchet and stammered, "Sir, you..."

Zhao Liangchen looked down and remembered that he was still holding a hatchet. Although he also had a knife on his waist, that one was different. It had a scabbard and did not look scary. This hatchet was really scary.

He reached out and handed the hatchet to the shopkeeper: "Keep it for me. I'll need it when I leave."

The shopkeeper hurriedly took the hatchet and said, "Hey, hey, don't worry, I will take good care of it."

Zhao Liangchen went upstairs. Qi Lusheng was already waiting there. As soon as he saw him, he pulled him to sit down: "Why are you coming up just now? Come on, sit down quickly."

Zhao Liangchen sat down. There were several other young men sitting at the table. He knew them all, but they were not close friends, so he just nodded at them.

Qi Lusheng poured him a glass of wine: "Come, have a drink to moisten your throat first."

Zhao Liangchen picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Seeing him so cheerful, Qi Lusheng's worries faded a little. He asked jokingly, "Who were you going to chop down with that machete just now, like a vicious monster?"

Zhao Liangchen was stunned, and then he felt a little regretful that he had not controlled his emotions just now, as his emotions were really revealed.

He explained: "I don't chop people, I just keep the hatchet for them."

Qi Lusheng didn't believe it: "Keep the hatchet? Who would let you keep a broken hatchet?"

Zhao Liangchen didn't want to continue this topic so he changed it: "It's just a friend I met on the road just now. What are you doing here?"

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Qi Lusheng did not ask any further questions and said, "What else can we do? We have nothing to do but drink, chat and brag. Unlike you, who is always busy."

Zhao Liangchen remained noncommittal: "If you want to be busy, you can ask your family to arrange some errands for you."

Qi Lusheng waved his hands hurriedly: "What's the point of assigning me a job? What's wrong with just eating and waiting to die?"

Zhao Liangchen smiled and didn't respond. They came from good families, unlike himself. They could just eat and wait for death, but still have endless money to spend and endless happiness to enjoy.

But if he doesn't work hard, he will have nothing and may even be trampled to death.

Seeing that he was depressed again, Qi Lusheng asked tentatively, "Are you worried about something?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "Nothing."

Qi Lusheng was unhappy and slammed the table: "Don't you consider me a brother?"

Zhao Liangchen said hurriedly: "What nonsense, if you are not a brother, then who is a brother?"

Qi Lusheng: "If you have something on your mind that you don't tell me, tell me and I'll help you solve it."

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "Don't do it, it will implicate you."

Qi Lusheng patted Zhao Liangchen's shoulder and said, "What are you talking about? I'm afraid you'll get into trouble. What else can you do? Tell me now."

Zhao Liangchen hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a friend who is imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. I want to go in to see him and take care of him, but you know that I am in there and it doesn't matter. I can't go in."
