In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

As Sun Dalang finished speaking, a snapping sound rang out, and Master Liu closed his eyes, powerless to refute.

Sun Dalang was well aware of the existence of the secret room. He found the box containing the key with practiced ease, took out the key, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He said, "Father, you can stay here for the time being and wait for our good news."

After saying that, Sun Dalang left directly, instructing the servants waiting outside to keep a close watch on the house before he left.

After everyone left, Old Master Sun inside the house suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, clearly furious.

……

Ignoring the chaos outside, after obtaining the key, Sun Dalang led his entourage directly to the warehouse. After loading half of the medicinal herbs into a cart, the group set off for the north city with great enthusiasm.

As soon as Mo Nan found out that the Sun family might be the mastermind, he left people outside the Sun residence to gather information. Sure enough, just as Sun Dalang and his group set off, Zhao Zexuan and the others received the news.

Late at night, when everything outside had returned to calm, Mo Nan excitedly entered the main tent, holding the note he had just received.

"General, the snake has emerged." These were Mo Nan's first words to Zhao Zexuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan put down the account book in his hand and said, "In that case, we should also get ready. They've killed two birds with one stone, so we should at least catch them like turtles in a jar."

Having long been eager to try, Mo Nan immediately nodded upon hearing this and hurriedly said, "General, I'll go tell the others."

"Now that they've already set off, those who delivered the message to them are no longer of any use. Arrest them first," Zhao Zexuan ordered.

"Alright, I'll go tell General Liu Quan right now and have them bring the man back immediately," Mo Nan said excitedly.

……

Outside the city, while the people were fast asleep, hurried footsteps echoed through the streets and alleys of the city. Many people were awakened, thinking that a plague had broken out in the city. They looked out of their windows in fear and saw many people being tied up by soldiers and dragged away.

Many people were tied up, and they were all familiar faces. Some of the villagers couldn't contain their curiosity and quietly pushed open the window to ask, "What did these people do? Why are they being arrested in the middle of the night?"

The person in charge of making the arrests was Liu Quan. He was leading his men out of the city when he heard the people's questions and replied in a good mood, "These people are traitors, tipping off the enemy outside. What do you think? Should they be arrested?"

Unexpectedly, this was the case. Colluding with the enemy was a capital offense. Upon hearing this, the curious people immediately fell silent and nodded in agreement, saying, "He should be arrested, he should be arrested very much."

The commotion was so great that it woke up the nearby residents. Seeing that Liu Quan wasn't as imposing as they had heard, they felt a little braver and asked, "Sir, did you come from outside the city? What's the situation outside?"

Many people were concerned about this matter, and they all looked at Liu Quan with worry, afraid of hearing some bad news.

Before entering the city to arrest people, Liu Quan had been specifically instructed, so he simply explained, "The plague outside has been brought under control and will be over soon, so everyone doesn't need to worry."

"Really? Your Honor, are you telling the truth?" a commoner asked excitedly.

Although Liu Quanren was outside the city, he had heard about the situation inside. He knew clearly what the people had been suffering during this time, so he said with certainty, "It's true, the plague has been brought under control, everyone can rest assured."

"That's good, that's good," the people said happily.

Liu Quan had other important matters to attend to, so after explaining this to the people, he led his soldiers and the detained prisoners out of the city in a hurry.

"Madam, Mo Nan has sent word that the matter is nearing a conclusion. He also instructed me to tell you not to leave the manor for the next few days, and for the people in the city to stay home as much as possible," Mo Bei said respectfully.

The fact that they still have time to arrest people at this critical juncture shows that these people absolutely must be arrested.

"What reason would be absolutely necessary to arrest him?" Su Li pondered, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a solution.

Thinking that she would eventually find out the reason, Su Li skipped that point for now and said to Mo Bei, "Since that's the case, let's stay put for the next two days. You should also send a message to Zhao Zexuan and the others. If they need any supplies, just let them know."

"Understood, sir," Mo Bei nodded in agreement.

Outside the city, things were bustling with activity. Suddenly, many torches were lit in the camp, illuminating the surroundings brightly. This piqued the curiosity of the people who had already rested, who wanted to know what had happened.

Liu Quan led the men out of the city and stopped only when they reached the main camp. He looked at the prisoners being held by the soldiers and said, "Weren't you very proactive in passing on the message and cooperating well? Didn't you think the plague was no big deal? Why are you showing such an expression now?"

The dozen or so people being stared at by Liu Quan were cowering in fear, not daring to speak for a long time.

Seeing that they dared not speak, Liu Quan did not waste words with them. He snorted and walked straight into the main tent.

Inside the main tent, the generals sat on either side, with Zhao Zexuan at the head of the table, as they discussed countermeasures.

Upon seeing Liu Quan return, Zhao Zexuan asked, "How did it go? Did you bring the person back?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Quan respectfully replied, "They've all been brought back and are waiting outside. Would the general like to see them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan called out, "Let them in."

Upon hearing the message from inside, the soldiers waiting outside immediately escorted the man into the tent.

The group of men, who were being led into the tent, trembled with fear upon seeing the armored generals inside. Before the soldiers could even salute them, they collapsed to the ground in terror.

Seeing this, the generals sneered and said, "So cowardly, I don't know how they have the courage to pass on messages for others."

Upon hearing this, the person who was already slumped on the ground trembled even more violently, keeping his head down for a long time without daring to lift it.

"Speak, tell me your past identities and what you did, tell me everything." Zhao Zexuan asked in a calm tone. He didn't show the same anger as the others, but it was precisely because his tone was too calm that people felt a storm was brewing.

No one dared to speak up, so the atmosphere in the tent became somewhat oppressive. Just as Liu Quan was considering whether to use some special methods, Zhao Zexuan spoke up again: "If you don't speak, then you're tacitly acknowledging that you took this initiative yourself. It seems you have much more to plan."
