Chen Mansion,

“Master, this is a letter sent by someone from Yamen office there, saying that this letter is for you!” That butler,as soon as he came to the study room and respectfully handed the letter to Master Chen who was sitting in a rocking chair drinking tea.

“Sent by the local authorities?!”

Hearing the butler’s words, the originally careless Master Chen immediately sat up straight, even the look on his face became serious, snatching the letter and opening it hastily.

After he quickly read the content inside, only then Master Chen’s stiff body relaxed a bit, but then how can he not hide the contempt? At first, he knew and then became interested in that woman, after all, they are just having a short period of love affair, who knows to the present, she still wants to come to blackmail him, she simply does not know her place!

Master Chen snorted a laugh, looked toward the housekeeper who was still waiting beside him and softly said, “Has anyone else read this letter?”

Hearing this sharp question, the butler’s heart fixed on it, then shook his head somewhat guiltily, denied as he said, “No, I got this letter from the gatekeeper and he handed it directly to me. This servant took it directly to the Old Master here, and during that, it did not pass through a third person’s hands.”

When Master Chen heard him say this, he nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head to look at him and lowered his voice, “You did a good job, next I have some things for you to do, you remember to do it properly, don’t let others notice.”

“Yes!” The butler’s face was serious, listening attentively to Master Chen’s next words.

“Firstly, you go and enquire if there is a newly come female prisoner named Qiao Xin in the women’s prison.” Master Chen paused when he said this.

The butler’s heart jolted, he thought that his master wanted him to go and get this woman out, after all, his master had quite a few affairs in the past!

Who knew that the truth is completely different from what he guessed, because the next moment Master Chen sent out a message, “After inquiring about it, operate to make the punishment heavier there, it is best to be able to banish the person!”

The butler froze on the spot when he heard this request from his master.

“What? Did you not understand?” Looking at the butler who stared blankly, Master Chen spoke with some impatience.

“No, no.” The butler, who realized what he was thinking, hastily shook his head and immediately assured, “Master, I’ve heard and understood, I promise to get this matter done.”

“Hn.” Looking at the butler who had returned to normal, Master Chen nodded with satisfaction, then as if he had thought of something, he continued, “There is another thing.”

The butler immediately perked up, perked up his ears, and cautiously said, “Please command, Master”

“I still have a shop outside, you go and take it over to rent it out, put the income to my private account.”

***

A few days later.

At feudal office,

In the dark and damp women’s cell, Boss Qiao shrank expressionlessly in the corner, her face was all numb, like a rag doll that had lost its soul, and she regretted every extra day she stayed in here.

It was only with the opening of the door that Boss Qiao seemed to suddenly come back to her senses, a few glimmers appearing in her eyes.

After the door opened, what came in was not only Guan Meipo who was responsible for delivering food to them on weekdays, but also a few tall yamen attendants.

Guan Meipo came into Boss Qiao’s cell with a drooping face, and under Boss Qiao’s expectant gaze, opened her cell door.

Boss Qiao moved her numb head and looked at the soon to be opened cell door, as if she had suddenly been injected with a soul, she immediately pounced on it, clinging herself up on the door bar, and eagerly said, “Is there anyone coming to save me? Can I leave this hellish place now?”

Looking at the maddened Boss Qiao, Guan Meipo gave her a pitying look and said in an uncertain manner, “You can go out now.”

Hearing this news, Boss Qiao was instantly ecstatic, and did not have time to discern the strangeness in her tone until she found herself to be disappointed with shackles by the Yamen officials who had followed Guan Meipo in.

Boss Qiao looked incredulously at the people in front of her, guessed what was going on, and said in a trembling voice, “What are you guys doing? Aren’t you guys going to release me?”

That yamen attendant looked at Boss Qiao, who was almost as crazy as a madwoman in front of him, and laughed coldly, “We’ve been ordered by His Excellency to escort you to the Northlands for exile!”

Boss Qiao’s eyes widened in disbelief and she struggled frantically, “Impossible, you guys must be lying to me!” Wouldn’t she be dead if she went there? It’s not true, no!

Looking at the noisy Boss Qiao, the officials directly took a piece of rag and stuffed it into her mouth, and then forcefully dragged her out, directly dragging her to the prison wagon, and heading to the Northlands for exile with the remaining few people.

　　***

On the streets, Chen Xing was leisurely strolling with Gu Lang.

Chen Xing felt that this weather, which not too hot and not too cold, was just right for window shopping. Just as he wanted to ask Gu Lang what kind of food he would like to eat later so he could buy it for him and go back and cook it for him, he saw several prison vans loaded with prisoners heading in the direction of the city gates.

Chen Xing looked at the dirty prisoners on the vans and couldn’t help but shake his body, saying with some discomfort: ”Where are they going? Are they going to be executed as well?”

Gu Lang raised his eyes and glanced coldly at the several people on the prison van, focusing on a gagged with rag person and skimming over that person before looking at Chen Xing again, his tone carrying a few hints of joy, “I don’t know, but looking at the direction, it’s not a place of execution, perhaps it’s being sent to exile?”
