Chapter 562 Spare My Life, I Don’t Want to Die

Ling Cang's tone was calm, "I know."

Su Nuan looked at him in astonishment, her eyes full of disbelief, "You know? Then why don't you clean them up?"

Ling Cang shook his head. "These people are just spies. Once we clear them out, there will be others."

"Instead of doing that, it's better to keep them. At least we know who the spies are, which makes it safer."

Su Nuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and nodded, "I understand. Then... what's her name?"

She suddenly remembered that although she had asked the woman's name just now, she did not answer.

Ling Cang said calmly, "Huang Zhaodi."

Su Nuan couldn't help but frown when she heard the name, "Zhao Di? She must have been born in a family that favors boys over girls..."

She pondered for a moment, then continued, "There are a lot of people in the square. Bring them over there. I want to make this public."

Ling Cang frowned slightly when he heard this, and said hesitantly, "But if it's made public, Huang Zhaodi's reputation will be ruined."

Su Nuan looked at him puzzledly and asked, "She's an informant, does she still care about her reputation?"

Ling Cang's expression turned serious, "Yes, I have many spies here under my observation."

"I found that some of them really wanted to continue living in the North."

"If Huang Zhaodi loses face, not only will she be unable to continue staying in the North, she may even choose to commit suicide."

Su Nuan was shocked when she heard this. She had never expected things to be so complicated.

No wonder Ling Cang said this matter was tricky. It is really a headache now.

If things aren't handled properly, people in the North will be dissatisfied with the current management.

Once the seeds of discontent are sown, they will sprout and grow stronger in the future...

Human beings are creatures that don't remember all the good things you did for them, they only remember your one momentary mistake.

She was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "So you mean... not to make it public?"

Ling Cang nodded, a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Although making it public can intimidate some people, it may also make those who want to stay and live here give up."

"If we can't protect everyone in the North, convince them with reason, and only use force to suppress them, then what's the difference between us and those invaders?"

Su Nuan understood Ling Cang's concerns, but at the same time she also felt that if it was not made public, it might sow the seeds of disaster.

She thought for a moment and finally said, "How about this? We won't reveal her identity, but we can use this incident to warn others."

"As for Huang Zhaodi...if she really wants to live in the North, we can give her a chance."

Ling Cang listened and praised: "This is a good idea. It can not only deter the spies, but also give Huang Zhaodi a way out."

Su Nuan nodded. "Go and make the arrangements. Write a notice and have the person guarding it read it aloud."

Ling Cang smiled slightly, "Okay, leave it to me."

Su Nuan turned and left, but her heart was still heavy.

She finally understood what it meant that it was easy to conquer a country but difficult to keep it.

She walked up to Ye Suifeng and saw that he was still looking down with a depressed expression, so she patted his shoulder gently and said, "I can't clear your name in public."

Ye Suifeng raised his head, his eyes full of grievance, "What if someone tries to harm me in the future?"

Su Nuan looked at him with a half-smile, "You've been fooled twice by the same thing. Don't call me your friend when you go out. I feel ashamed."

The grievance in Ye Suifeng's eyes disappeared, and he said unconvincedly: "I'm not a fool. I won't be fooled again."

Su Nuan glanced at him sideways, "Oh, so you're talking about the future?"

Ye Suifeng felt deflated and pouted.

Su Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, put away your grievances. I'll take you to beat her up."

Ye Suifeng shook his head, "No, you can't hit a woman."

Su Nuan didn't expect that Ye Suifeng, this wild boy, had actually learned to be a gentleman.

She asked, "What do you want to do to calm the grievances in your heart?"

Ye Suifeng puffed out his chest and said, "I want fairness. She took off her clothes to frame me, so I will take off my clothes in front of her to frame her."

Su Nuan murmured helplessly: "What kind of demeanor? Pure madness."

Ye Suifeng tilted his head and looked at Su Nuan, "Why? Is it not possible?"

Su Nuan nodded vigorously, her tone firm, "No."

Ye Suifeng curled his lips, somewhat unwillingly, "Then what do you say we should do? We can't just let it go like this, right?"

Su Nuan shook her head helplessly, "You don't need to retaliate in such a strange way."

"I'll make her understand that there's a price to pay for framing others."

Ye Suifeng scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Then...what should I do?"

Su Nuan patted his shoulder and said, "You don't have to do anything, but you have to remember that if you encounter something that you can't solve in the future, tell me the first time and I will handle it."

Ye Suifeng nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I'm not a fool, I won't be fooled again."

Su Nuan smiled. She certainly wouldn't let Huang Zhaodi get away with it so easily without any punishment.

She thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll punish Huang Zhaodi by making her raise pigs."

When Ye Suifeng heard this, his eyes lit up and an excited smile appeared on his face. "Great! That way I won't have to take care of those pigs and will have more time to play in the mountains!"

Seeing him so happy, Su Nuan couldn't help but shook her head, "Don't rush up the mountain. The chiefs have promised me to settle in the north."

"Go find a suitable place outside the city and build a new village."

She paused and continued, "A place with a water source is best. If there is no water source, it doesn't matter. We can dig a well."

After hearing this, Ye Suifeng's excitement faded a little, and his eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Build a village? Then I can choose any place."

Su Nuan nodded, "Of course, but remember, the location and layout of the village must be reasonable, so that it is convenient for everyone to live in and can also provide defense. After all, there are many wild beasts."

Ye Suifeng nodded, "I understand! I will definitely find a good place and build a beautiful and practical village!"

Su Nuan looked at his energetic appearance and felt reluctant to discourage his enthusiasm. Building a village was not that easy.

She knew that what Ye Suifeng lacked was opportunity. As long as he was given the opportunity, he would study hard and would definitely do well.

"Go ahead, remember to bring a few people with you, don't run around alone."

Ye Suifeng responded, turned around and ran out the door, his steps as light as a deer.

Su Nuan looked at his back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she also walked out the door, turned around and went to the next room.

Huang Zhaodi was really nervous at this moment. She twisted the corners of her clothes awkwardly, and her clothes became wrinkled.

Su Nuan stood at the door, staring at her coldly without saying a word.

Huang Zhaodi felt uneasy when Su Nuan stared at her. Finally, her knees gave way and she knelt on the ground. "Please spare me. I don't want to die."
