"But this emperor, Qingwen, is not only a tyrant, but he is also a womanizer. Brother, aren't you afraid of getting out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's mouth?"

"So what? As long as he can rescue the young lady, then at worst he can just go to the palace and steal her out!"

Wow, he's so brave to use him as a stepping stone openly.

No matter what, this should be considered human trafficking, and the person they were looking for was the local magistrate. Why did they go directly to him?

I don't know which sect they came from. Seeing how anxious they are, this young lady must be very special to them...

Wait, the novel didn’t seem to mention the existence of gangs before. At least Zhao Xin didn’t remember that there were any... If he helped them rescue the eldest lady, wouldn’t that be considered as changing fate and he would be rewarded, right?

I'm not going to give out any rewards now, in case you do something that defies fate and changes your destiny.

He is now extremely short of civil and military general cards, and is very short of people!

Just for this reason, he has to go up.

If the general card happened to come across a yellow first-level one, wouldn't that be a huge win? He was in need of talents right now, and the good and famous ones he had drawn were probably the group headed by Zhuge Liang and the group headed by Bai Qi.

The Xiao He he was waiting for hadn't arrived yet. He had been waiting for the killer Bai Qi for a long time, but he had only just arrived. It seemed he couldn't wait any longer. Xiao He didn't know how long he would have to wait.

Wang Xuance and Liu Muzhi were drinking tea nearby. His emotions were unclear, so he knew they were waiting for his orders.

"Liu Muzhi, what do you think?"

Zhao Xin didn't have time to play games with them. He was happy to let them talk and ask for some advice. He wanted to see what they thought.

"Your humble servant is terrified!"

Zhao Xin didn't believe it. He thought he was just being frightened on purpose.

"From what I know, the young lady they're talking about is probably a notorious villain from the Villain's House on the mountain. Saving him won't necessarily end well for our court. We might even have to be on guard against the people from that Villain's House."

It turns out to be the evil mansion, that makes it easy!

Thinking about the protagonist Chu Zhan in the previous book, I remember that he colluded with a large number of forces in the martial arts world. One of them was the Evil Mansion, which was even more powerful than a tiger.

The plot suggests Chu Zhan is on good terms with the young lady of the villain's house. Presumably, that young lady is the one they're referring to. Now, this opportunity is before him, and saving such a person won't cost him anything.

If he could turn a big opportunity into something for himself, he would definitely make a profit...

Wang Xuance lowered his head and looked respectful.

"Your Majesty, I think it's not possible."

How to say it?

"It's hard to persuade him. I've learned some information about the Evil House before."

"His eldest daughter was abducted because of a grudge. I also heard about human trafficking at the time. Your Majesty also sent people to investigate."

"But they didn't report it. Now that they haven't returned, they're rushing to look for them. I think it's best for us not to get involved. What if they form an alliance and then find us disadvantageous and want to eliminate us? Wouldn't that make us enemies again?"

They seemed to know each other quite well. Personal grudges and all that, but now that he wanted to change his fate, he had no choice but to get involved.

The system probably also clearly gave him this opportunity.

Otherwise, why didn't he show up yesterday, nor the day before yesterday, but today when he came on a secret visit, this matter was pinned on him.

There was no reason for it, but he had to seize it.

I heard another burst of chirping sounds in the distance.

"Brother, didn't you say that our young lady is good friends with Nan Luoying? I heard that Nan Luoying is also going to marry the emperor.

Old man Nan Cang has agreed to it, so why not ask her to help find where this bastard is hiding? If we delay any longer, his eldest daughter might even lose her life!

I really didn't expect that guy to be so good at pretending.

Who was that kid scolding... the protagonist Chu Zhan or...

Judging from the way they were doing, it was estimated that the young lady had been abducted by a man for about three to five days, or maybe even longer.

I guess I haven't seen a single hair of him till now. If he is not under house arrest, then he is being treated in some other way.

So what do they do when people are kidnapped and they look for him?

He's not under the jurisdiction of the capital. He's in the political and business circles. He's not involved in either the black or white world, okay?!

However, the emperor's status is quite useful. It is estimated that when he returns to the palace this time, there will be something more waiting for him to see on the table where the memorials are placed.

Zhao Xin regretted not bringing Zhuge Lao Er with him today. At least he could have given him some advice. But he didn't dare bring a good minister like Zhuge. If something happened, it would be the end of his generation of superstars. He would be very distressed.

Regardless of whether the favor they were talking about was for the protagonist or not, he was determined to help. However, he couldn't just walk up to him and tell him in person that he was the emperor and was here to help him.

Isn't that ridiculous...

He couldn't let the people in the city see him coming out. He didn't want to be pelted with vegetable leaves in the street and be called a tyrant. Besides, if he just killed half the people on the street on impulse, the Qin State would be in chaos...

He put a lot of effort into maintaining this country.

It would be nice to at least give him the halo of a protagonist... But now the only one who can compete with the protagonist is himself, although I don't know why the system dragged him here.

But it's a good thing. He just likes racing against death.

In the end, he also snatched away all the luck, wealth, and beauty next to the protagonist. The more miserable he was, the happier I was. In the end, Zhao Xin himself took the high position. Just thinking about it is exciting!

The most urgent thing was to go back to the palace and see how to contact them. He also had a technique, so if that group of people forced their way in, he would have no choice but to attack.

Kill as many people as you can. If that doesn’t work, send people over to kill them.

Luck or not is not important, his own life is important. It is a blessing to be alive, why do you have to find shortcuts for yourself?

Sure enough, there was a piece of paper on his desk. The portrait on it did bear a good resemblance to him.

The words written on it were really... saying he was a tyrant. Maybe the people in the Evil House had a change of heart and felt that it was not right to beg for help with such a piece of paper about a tyrant.

Then he probably used the brush on his desk to cross out the words "tyrant ruler" and finally wrote a line of small words next to it.

The Emperor will reward my eldest daughter handsomely if she rescues him. You weren't there when I looked for you earlier. Now, light some fireworks and we'll see each other again.

Do I need to inform you about what I'm doing this time?

He refused to set off fireworks. It wasn't even night yet, and if he set off fireworks, people would think he was a traitor. If they caught him, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he said ten words.

As for those who want to see him, let them come over by themselves.
