But as he took off Huo Jingkang's clothes, An Jiu could no longer laugh. He saw that Huo Jingkang was covered with wounds, some new, and more old scars.

Huo Jingxuan's eyes suddenly turned red. "I'm going to go out and kill the old thief Dongfang and his family right now. How could she do this to you?"

Huo Jingkang stopped him and said, "I did all this when I was ill. I am in a good condition now. Please wash it for me quickly and tie it up for me when you are done. Don't let me hurt you and your fourth sister-in-law again.

You and I both know what the consequences will be for people who are poisoned by this drug. Don't force your sister-in-law too much. It would be best if you could develop an antidote, but don't blame her if you can't. Don't create any grudges between you two because of this.

With your bad habit, it's your blessing to meet your sister-in-law. Don't be willful and throw a tantrum and make her angry and run away. Then you won't have anywhere to cry.

If I still can't do it in the end, just give me a quick death and let me go with dignity.

Find a good husband for your fourth sister-in-law, don’t let her spend the rest of her life alone, she has suffered enough waiting for me these years!"

Huo Jingxuan's tears welled up in his eyes. "Fourth brother, don't let your imagination run wild. My wife is very capable. If she said she can cure you, then she can. Just wait to be your groom and marry your fourth sister-in-law in style!"

He then quickened his shower pace, fearing that his fourth brother would say something sad again, which would drive him crazy.

He really didn't have the courage to do the final job of tying the ropes, so he handed it over to An Jiu and hid outside the door to catch his breath.

I happened to see Tang Xiaoyue hiding nearby and crying secretly. It seemed that she heard what Fourth Brother said just now.

“Fourth sister-in-law, Fourth Brother doesn’t understand Leng Yue’s abilities, but you do!

Don't worry, Fourth Brother will definitely get better, don't worry, you have to be strong during this period, thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, Huo Jingxuan bowed to Tang Xiaoyue.

Tang Xiaoyue quickly returned the greeting, "Fifth brother, don't be like this, I believe in you and my sister-in-law, your fourth brother will definitely get better.

We are a family, there is no need for these false formalities."

Leng Yue and her group outside were having a great time. Not only did she collect this year's stored grain in the capital, she also collected all the grain that was privately sold to officials nearby.

The officers and soldiers who were in charge of guarding the warehouse nearby were dumbfounded. This was not right!

According to the decree, only half of it should be collected, not all of it!

He hurriedly stopped Leng Yue, "My lord, my lord, I am wrong, I made a mistake, these are yours, those have already been sold to others, they are just stored here temporarily."

An Shiyi pushed the nagging official aside and said, "You guys are right to sell grain privately, but if you don't sell it, does it fall into this category? We are not wrong, you are wrong.

While we are talking, you should get out of here right away, or we will kick you out."

Unexpectedly, when the leading soldier heard this, his eyes lit up instantly and he knelt down on the ground.

"My Lord, you don't know that we are just servants and cannot make decisions. But you took away all the food and we were unharmed. The higher-ups will blame us!"

An Shi was confused when he heard it, but Leng Yue understood it. He raised his hand and slapped each of them twice. His technique was very good. It didn't hurt much, but the wound was very swollen and looked very serious.

"So you can report to the higher-ups, right?"

The leading officer covered his face and nodded, then rolled on the ground twice, covered in dirt and looking even more miserable. "Okay, okay, that's great. Thank you for your help."

Leng Yue saw that they were smart people, so she left them ten sacks of fine rice, "Leave these for your medical expenses. You can sell them or keep them for yourselves. It's not easy for you to be servants."

The officers and soldiers immediately knelt down to express their gratitude, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Then he enthusiastically sent Leng Yue and his group out, and An Shi was in a daze the whole time.

After walking out of that section, he asked, “Madam, why did they thank you after you beat them?

And why do you give them food?"

Leng Yue saw that not only he didn't understand, but several secret guards were also in a confused state. Today, she took this opportunity to teach them a lesson for free.

"This is called officialdom culture, it's convenient for others and for yourself!

I beat them, proving that they resisted but were defeated. Even if the higher-ups blamed me, they couldn't punish them severely. At least I could keep my job.

Besides, they are all smart people. They cooperated with me, so I am willing to give them some benefits. Otherwise, if they did something bad, such as setting off flares or triggering a mechanism, it would take too much time and we probably wouldn’t be done yet!”

"Oh~~"

Now I understand. The secret guards usually carry out assassination and intelligence gathering missions. They followed the Huo family to the battlefield before and seldom interacted with people. Plus, they were young and didn't understand many things.

When something happens, you have to explain it to them clearly. After all, you never stop learning!

Then we came to the second stop of the night, Rou Mansion. When we arrived, the lights in Rou Mansion were still on, and we could even hear the faint sound of stringed instruments.

After the secret guards dealt with the guards outside, they went straight to the source of the sound. It turned out that Concubine Rou’s father and brother were celebrating that their good day was coming soon.

"My daughter has been favored again, and our Rou family is being valued again. It just so happens that the old prime minister has passed away, and that position is still vacant. I have been eyeing that position for my entire life, and now it is finally mine."

When the father and son talked about this, they both laughed out loud, and Leng Yue poured a basin of cold water on them.

It was really like a basin of cold water. I opened the door and poured it over their heads before they could react.

The heart instantly turned cold and the excitement soared, and the drunk father and son sobered up a lot.

The women who were playing the piano, singing, and dancing were so scared that they screamed at the top of their lungs.

The secret guards finally got to work, slapping the women one by one with the back of their swords, knocking all the women unconscious in an instant.

While filming, he said, “Scream your sister! You scared me!

Wasn't he singing softly just now? How come his voice suddenly became louder?

I didn't realize, little sister, that you have two faces at such a young age!"

Now Concubine Rou's brother Rouguang wanted to find a knife to resist, but he had drunk too much and did not expect that an assassin would break into the house. The knife was too far away from here, and he couldn't get it after struggling for a long time.

Seeing that Leng Yue, who was leading the group, was a woman, he talked to her again, and without any internal strength, he relaxed instantly.

Intending to scare Leng Yue, he was about to sit down, "Do you know who I am?"

Leng Yue grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the ground. She sat there, crossed her legs, and kicked Rouguang in the face, knocking him down again.
