After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

Zhang Liang had anticipated what the flag officer would say. After all, a tall tree attracts the wind. Although the Duke of Wu's Mansion had not openly offended anyone before, it had blocked the way of some people behind the scenes.

Therefore, this led to those people hating the Wuguo Mansion to the core. Now that the Wuguo Mansion has fallen on hard times, these people certainly don't mind taking advantage of the situation.

Just as Zhang Liang was thinking of a countermeasure, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Anti-Thief System! Rebel or reduce the Daqian Dynasty's national fortune to receive rewards!]

Hearing this, Zhang Liang knew that this was his golden finger coming.

However, because there were outsiders here, Zhang Liang did not show any joy on his face, so as to avoid being seen by someone with ulterior motives.

[It is detected that the host currently has a newbie gift pack that has not been opened. Would the host like to check it? ]

After hearing the system's words, Zhang Liang slowly said, "Check!"

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the entire inheritance of the God of Killing Bai Qi.]

After the system's prompt sound ended, Zhang Liang felt a force spreading from his abdomen to his limbs. His originally thin body now became strong.

The sisters-in-law standing next to Zhang Liang saw that he was motionless at this moment, as if he had a sudden hysteria, and they couldn't help but become anxious. After all, he was the only heir left in the Wuguo Mansion.

Gently pushing Zhang Liang, Qin Youlan said anxiously, "Uncle! Uncle! Are you okay?"

"Uncle, don't scare us!"

Several other sisters-in-law also expressed their concerns.

Zhang Liang came back to his senses and noticed the worried looks on the faces of his sisters-in-law. He smiled and comforted them, "It's okay, sisters-in-law, don't worry."

Seeing that Zhang Liang was fine, Qin Youlan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the second sister-in-law Zhong Shu looked at Zhang Liang with a strange look, because she always felt that Zhang Liang seemed to have become stronger, and she didn't know if she was dazzled.

"Everyone, the time has come. It's time to get on the road, otherwise someone will come from the palace."

The flag officer on the side spoke up and reminded him at this time.

"I understand."

Zhang Liang nodded, took one last look at the Wuguo Mansion, and then left with his sisters-in-law.

In a restaurant not far from Duke Wu's Mansion, the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

This restaurant is located in a corner of a busy street. It is usually bustling with people coming and going, but at this moment, a private room by the window on the second floor is unusually quiet.

Outside the window are bustling crowds and streets, while inside the window is a completely different scene.

A man of ordinary appearance was standing in the middle of the room, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring intently at the Wuguo Mansion not far away outside the window.

The man's name was Chen Tao. He used to be a general under Duke Wu, but he later defected to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chen Tao stood there for a long time before slowly turning around and walking towards a young man sitting at the table. He had a gloomy face and gave people an unapproachable feeling - this was Qin Hao, the second son of the current Prime Minister Qin Xiwen.

At this time, Qin Hao was leisurely sipping tea, seemingly unconcerned about what was happening around him.

"Son."

Chen Tao walked closer and bowed respectfully, breaking the silence in the room.

"I saw that bastard from the Wuguo Mansion come out."

Hearing this, Qin Hao raised his eyes slightly, his gaze passed over the teacup, and he glanced at Chen Tao in front of him lightly.

He did not respond immediately, but continued to drink the tea in his hand slowly, as if this matter was not worthy of his attention.

After a moment, Qin Hao slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

His gaze turned to Chen Tao who was standing beside him, with a barely perceptible sharpness in his eyes.

"Have you arranged everything?"

Qin Hao's voice was calm, but there was a chilling aura in his words.

Hearing this, Chen Tao immediately became extremely respectful, with a flattering smile on his face.

He quickly walked up to Qin Hao and replied in an almost flattering manner, "Please rest assured, sir. Everything has been arranged. That... evil creature will never escape our control. We will make sure he disappears from sight."

After hesitating for a while, Chen Tao continued with some concern, "Sir, if we get rid of this evil creature, will there be any trouble? After all, this is His Majesty..."

After expressing his concerns, Chen Tao clearly felt a little uneasy.

He carefully observed Qin Hao's expression, trying to capture any possible emotional fluctuations from his expression.

However, Qin Hao's reaction was beyond his expectations.

There was a hint of displeasure in Qin Hao's eyes, the kind of dissatisfaction revealed when one's authority was questioned.

"Remember this," Qin Hao's voice was deep and powerful, carrying unquestionable authority. "We know nothing! Besides, isn't it normal for accidents to happen during exile?"

After saying this, Qin Hao glanced at Chen Tao coldly, as if warning him not to ask too many questions.

Chen Tao immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly lowered his head to apologize: "Yes, Master, I am right. I know what to do."

His voice was full of respect and obedience, but inside he felt a little scared because of the tension just now.

Qin Hao nodded, then slowly stood up and walked out of the room.

However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Chen Tao behind him.

There was a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if reminding him of something important.

"Oh right," Qin Hao said calmly, "I forgot to remind you to have your men be careful not to hurt that bastard's sisters-in-law. After all, I am the most compassionate person."

After saying this, Qin Hao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

Hearing this, Chen Tao immediately understood what Qin Hao meant.

He knew that these women were not only key figures, but also important bargaining chips for Qin Hao to further control the situation.

So, he nodded quickly and responded, "Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely send those women to your house safely."

Seeing that Chen Tao was so sensible, a satisfied smile flashed across Qin Hao's face.

Shortly after Qin Hao left, Chen Tao also quickly got up and left the room.

He knew that this matter concerned his own future and he could not be careless in the slightest.

After walking out of the room, he immediately summoned his trusted subordinates and began to arrange the tasks in detail.

"Listen carefully," Chen Tao whispered, his eyes sweeping across the faces of each of his subordinates. "This operation is extremely important, and we must ensure everything goes smoothly. Especially those women. They must be delivered to Young Master Qin's residence intact."

His subordinates nodded in understanding, and everyone understood the importance of this mission.

Chen Tao continued, "Remember, we may encounter some unexpected situations along the way, but we must not let the target person escape. Anyone who dares to disobey orders or fails to perform their duties will bear the consequences!"

After saying these words, Chen Tao carefully checked all the preparations again, and only left the scene with peace of mind after confirming that everything was correct.
