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

Wu Bin glanced at his family. Besides his parents, there were his wife, children, younger brother and younger sister.

His son was only three years old, and his brothers and sisters were not married yet. He knew in his heart that although they were innocent, they had nothing and were the family of a sinner, so their future life would be very difficult.

Zhao Liangchen followed his gaze and realized that he couldn't let go of his family, so he took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry, I will take care of your family."

Wu Bin was grateful in his heart, but after thinking it over, he refused: "Don't bother. It's not easy for you either. Such a big family would be a burden to you."

Zhao Liangchen shook his head. "It's not a burden. You know my situation at home isn't good. It's very difficult for me to earn a good future for myself. I don't have parents or brothers to help me, so everything I do is difficult. I have no money, and I don't even have anyone I can trust to make money. I'm helping myself by taking care of your family. They can help me with things and make money. We can be considered mutual assistance. They are always more reliable than outsiders."

Wu Bin hesitated and asked, "How can they help you?"

Zhao Liangchen: "I bought a farm in Qi County, a hundred miles away, but I don't have anyone I trust to help me manage it. The harvest is not good, and I need help with some business. I can send your family to the farm in Qi County. That way, I will have someone reliable to help me."

Wu Bin thought for a moment and looked at his family. His father nodded at him, so he pulled his younger brother Wu Qian over and introduced him to Zhao Lianchen: "This is my younger brother Wu Qian. Like me, he has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and he is also very smart. If you have anything to do in the future, you can ask him to do it."

He looked at his brother again: "Xiao Qian, Liangchen is your savior. When I'm gone, you will listen to him and take good care of your family. Got it?"

Wu Qian nodded solemnly: "Okay, I understand."

Zhao Liangchen nodded and handed Wu Qian a purse. "After you leave the prison, change into some torn clothes and leave the city to mingle with the refugees. When the refugees leave, follow them. Once you reach Qi County, you can separate. Once you reach the village, stay put for now."

Wu Bin asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

Suddenly he looked at Zhao Liangchen, a little excited: "Liangchen, they won't let my family go, right?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that the person who embezzled the disaster relief funds had great ambitions. If he succeeded, your family would not have an easy life."

Wu Bin looked at his family with a look of despair. Was there no escape? Seeing him like this, his family was also extremely sad and burst into tears again.

Zhao Liangchen comforted them, "Don't be discouraged. I won't let him succeed. Although I can't give you any guarantees, I can assure you that as long as I'm alive, I won't let anything happen to your family."

Wu Bin approached him and whispered, "Can I ask who is behind this?"

Zhao Liangchen glanced at him, and wanting him to die knowingly, he leaned close to his ear and whispered in a very low voice, "King Liang."

Wu Bin's pupils shrank, first in disbelief, then in shock, and finally in a sigh: "Then my death was not unjust."

How could he possibly win against someone of that status? He looked at Zhao Liangchen. Originally, their whole family was going to die, but because of Zhao Liangchen, only he was left to die. Although he didn't know what he did, he always felt that Zhao Liangchen was not that simple, so he should be able to protect his family.

Wu Bin looked at Zhao Liangchen with hope in his eyes. "Liangchen, I don't care what you want to do, but please take my family with you. They have to fight for their own lives and can't let others manipulate them. Even if they lose in the end, I won't blame you. This is their fate. Fighting against someone like that, they're lucky to be alive."

Zhao Liangchen nodded: "Okay, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will stand with them."

He pushed the food and wine to Wu Bin: "Eat it while it's hot. I still have to go see off the other brothers."

Wu Bin stood up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Liangchen: "Liangchen, I'll leave my family in your care from now on."

Zhao Liangchen accepted his gift so that he could leave with peace of mind.

Zhao Liangchen went to other cells and said goodbye to the other imperial guards one by one. They said the same thing. Wu Bin's family had their last meal with Wu Bin, and then they supported each other and left the cell.

On that day, the families of the imperial guards who had been released from the Ministry of Justice's prison left the city one after another and mingled among the disaster victims.

When Zhao Liangchen left the Ministry of Justice prison, he was followed by the servants of the Zhao family who had escaped.

Su Jijing opened his palm in the carriage and saw a small folded banknote. He opened it and saw that it was worth one thousand taels. Inside the banknote was a small piece of paper with the word "An" written on it.

Su Jijing's hand holding the note trembled a little: "This is Qin'er's handwriting."

Mrs. Su leaned over to look: "Doesn't it say where she is now?"

Su Jijing shook his head: "I think it's safe. Didn't Zhao Liangchen say that I can meet the person I want to meet at the West City Inn? It must be Qin'er."

Mrs. Su looked at the 1,000-liang silver note and was deeply moved. "There was such a severe flood in my hometown, and this child fled all the way here. I don't know how much effort it took to preserve this silver note. Return it to her when you see her. When the court appoints you an official, we won't be short of money. Keep this for her dowry."

Su Jijing stroked the banknote in his hand with tears in his eyes: "I'm afraid this is what my mother saved by living frugally."

They checked into the inn in the west of the city. They originally thought they would be able to see Su Qin soon, but they didn't expect that they would not see Su Qin until Su Jijing was sent as an official.

Zhao Lianchen brought the servants back to the Zhao Mansion first. In the front yard, the servants knelt in fear. Zhao Jian and Madam Zhao stared at those people with serious eyes. He really wanted to kill them all, but he couldn't, because that would ruin his reputation. But he was unwilling to let these people go.

Zhao Jian had nowhere to vent his anger, and suddenly saw Zhao Gupan standing aside. Today, Zhao Gupan was wearing the jewelry and rouge and powder that Zhao Liangchen brought back for her. Although they were not very bright, they matched her old clothes with washed white hair, making her look somewhat pitiful and sympathetic.

Zhao Gupan felt Zhao Jian's gaze and lowered her head, pretending to be pitiful and wronged, but she was very nervous in her heart. She was afraid that Xing'er would tell the truth. If her father knew that she was not knocked unconscious and hidden by Xing'er and the others, her fate would not be good.

She didn't dare to look up or look at Zhao Liangchen. She could only hold the handkerchief tightly in her hand and wait for the verdict of fate.

As expected, Zhao Jian only glanced at him twice before asking, "Who is the servant in the eldest lady's courtyard?"

Xing'er and the other three maids replied timidly, "Master, it's us servants."

Zhao Jian looked at them gloomily and asked, "Did you knock the young lady unconscious, stuff her into the box, steal her belongings, and run away?"

Several maids were so frightened that they kowtowed repeatedly: "Master, we were wrong. We did the wrong thing out of fear of being implicated. We were bewitched by evil spirits. Please forgive us, servants."

The four maids kept kowtowed and begged, not making any excuses for themselves. Zhao Gupan watched all this in amazement. How could they just admit it? You know, they stole their master's money and injured her. They could be beaten to death without going through the authorities.

She looked at Zhao Liangchen. Zhao Liangchen didn't show any expression, but still gave her a comforting look. Only then did she feel relaxed.

Zhao Jian looked at them coldly as they kowtowed until their heads were broken and bleeding, then he said in a cold voice: "Come here, beat them to death with sticks."

The four maids were so frightened that they screamed loudly: "Master, please let us go, Miss, please save us."

Zhao Gupan looked at Zhao Liangchen hesitantly. Seeing him nod slightly, he hesitantly said to Zhao Jian, "Father, please spare their lives."
