Chapter 113: It Can Be Done This Way Too

Why didn't Emperor Chang kill all the night watchmen back then? Why did he only think of taking action decades later?

Could it be that there are still active royal forces in the capital? And something must have happened that forced them to eliminate all those who had witnessed the royal scandal back then.

Following this line of thought, Su Zhenzhen discovered that something quite important might have happened to the Jiang clan.

I just can't think of anything more.

One shouldn't be too hard on oneself. Su Zhenzhen returned to the coffin shop, had Hensheng stay by her side, and went straight to sleep.

General Huo allowed him to float outside for the time being. Although it would consume his soul power, Hensheng was right beside him, and the continuous dragon energy could replenish his losses in time.

And so, Su Zhenzhen drifted off to sleep without any warning. Surprisingly, she, who never dreamed, had another dream in a short period of time.

If it weren't for the constant barrage of comments, Su Zhenzhen would have almost thought she had really traveled back to the 906th century.

In the office of the underworld partner, Sister Chao was wearing a top-notch white-collar suit and high heels. Her right heel was resting on the edge of the desk as she crossed her legs.

With her shoulder-length wavy hair and exquisite bright red lipstick, she looks every bit the urban elite.

From the first moment Su Zhenzhen saw her, she felt that this beautiful woman should be sitting in an office drinking coffee.

That's true. She sits in the office all day, and no one knows where she gathered so many wronged souls.

"Sister Chao." The moment she uttered that title, Su Zhenzhen felt as if she were back in the eight months of her internship.

Chao Jie crossed her arms to support her chin, and her vermilion nail polish made her skin look even whiter than snow.

"I didn't expect your performance to break through thirty so quickly. Keep up the good work, and I believe you'll be promoted to a full-time position soon."

Hearing these words of encouragement, which were essentially meaningless, Su Zhenzhen rolled her eyes inwardly. Didn't they offer some kind of reward for breaking through thirty?

"Um... Sister Chao, do we have any performance-based bonuses? After all, look, I've already achieved 31 sales targets in just a few months."

Sister Chao smiled and said, "As for the reward, for interns, 10 sales targets form a small tier, and we can reward them with some special medicine from the Underworld Partners."

Su Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, but before she could even ask what the special medicine contained...

Chao Jie's expression suddenly turned cold, and even her tone changed drastically.

"You have the nerve to say that! You didn't do a single decent job in eight months of internship. I'm only keeping you out of respect for me!"

Su Zhenzhen immediately looked dejected and cautiously replied with an "Oh".

Seeing this, Sister Chao got angry. "Alright, alright, if you can help 31 wronged souls, you will naturally have accumulated the same amount of merit. You may not feel it normally, but in critical moments, this merit can become your inner strength."

Su Zhenzhen wanted to ask what "internal support" meant.

Chao Jie covered her mouth and yawned, "Alright, alright, I'm going to take a nap, don't bother me."

Then Su Zhenzhen woke up and stared at Hensheng.

How long did I sleep?

"Half an hour."

Su Zhenzhen felt like her bones were about to fall apart. She thought she had slept for days and nights, but it had only been half an hour.

However, after waking up this time, the fatigue disappeared, and even the craving for food was suppressed.

Could this be the intrinsic motivation for accumulating merit?

While Su Zhenzhen was thinking, Jiang Sijin watched and observed her from the side, not missing a single little detail.

The woman was plain-looking, spoke crudely, and seemed somewhat unreliable.

Could she really be the legendary noblewoman?

But considering Su Zhenzhen's extraordinary methods in the past, Jiang Sijin was certain that she was no ordinary person.

She believed that such a person could give birth to a benevolent ruler who would be remembered for all time.

Furthermore, since Hensheng is blessed with the auspicious energy of Heaven, their child will surely be an exceptional individual.

If all the child's luck were taken away at the moment of his birth...

A determined glint flashed in Jiang Sijin's eyes.

Su Zhenzhen snapped out of her daze and immediately focused on the important matter at hand, hurriedly asking Hensheng what he had been doing in the months since she left.

He hated that no matter how small the matter was, he had to answer it one by one.

Su Zhenzhen nodded in agreement as she listened, but her brows furrowed slightly when Hensheng mentioned that Song Anbang had come to Shanxian County.

When did he arrive?

"You've been living in Shanxian since shortly after you left. Don't worry, I haven't met him yet."

Hensheng didn't seem scared at all.

Su Zhenzhen didn't expect this saintly figure of the chaotic world to wake up, so she turned her attention to Jiang Sijin.

The latter met his gaze directly, without flinching or avoiding it.

Jiang Sijin didn't want Hensheng to fall into Song Anbang's hands either. Seeing her expression, Su Zhenzhen felt relieved. It seemed that this person did not pose a threat to Hensheng's safety in Shanxian County.

But there's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If even Jiang Yichun, who had shown him kindness, could turn against him at a crucial moment, then don't expect him to care about trivial family ties.

"I'll freshen up and then go meet this Marquis of Benevolence from the Imperial Court."

After being away from home for so long, Su Zhenzhen felt like she was going to rot.

Actually, Old Man Bai boils water every day, but Su Zhenzhen has been busy ever since she came back.

Upon hearing that Su Zhenzhen was going to take a bath, they immediately prepared a bathtub and other toiletries.

Su Zhenzhen took a comfortable bath, then bought a set of light clothes from the system shop and changed into them. The clothes were narrow-sleeved and narrow-legged, making her look quite mismatched.

But Su Zhenzhen didn't care about other people's opinions. Almost everyone in Shanxian was one of her own, so of course she would do whatever was convenient for her.

The advantage of this outfit is that it's cheap, and the disadvantage is that it's a bit ugly. However, the good thing is that viewers can't see what they're wearing in the live stream, so there's no need to worry about being attacked for their appearance.

Su Zhenzhen stretched her limbs and, ignoring the approaching darkness, headed straight for the county government office.

Jiang Sijin followed quietly behind.

As night fell, the ghostly army arrived as scheduled, taking advantage of the passage.

The number of ghost soldiers is much less than when they left Shanxian County. Perhaps they have some kind of premonition that Shanxian County is getting better little by little, and their obsession with protecting the city is gradually fading away.

I believe that one day they will completely disappear into the world, but from then on, no one will forget this city, and the countless corpses inside and outside the city.

Su Zhenzhen, as usual, took an unconventional approach, directly scaling the high courtyard wall, randomly taking a low-quality assassin hostage, finding out Song Anbang's room number, and giving him a large gift of chestnuts.

Looking at the assassin who had been knocked unconscious by Su Zhenzhen, Jiang Sijin's beautiful eyes widened. "You can do that?"

What happened next was even more unexpected.

Su Zhenzhen kicked open the door to the room without saying a word, and directly slapped Song Anbang, who was lying on the bed, in the face.
