Could it be because I didn't treat General Su that this happened?

This is the Su family's revenge!

Thinking of this, Cai Fanzhou slumped into a chair.

It's over, it's all over.

What does the Cai family have to fight against General Su's mansion?

Just then, the servant rushed over in a panic: "Master, master, there are a lot of soldiers at the gate."

Cai Fanzhou was in a real bind; what had happened now?

Without thinking twice, he hurriedly went outside.

Upon seeing the line of soldiers at the entrance, Cai Fanzhou's heart skipped a beat. He quickly put on a smiling face and asked, "Gentlemen, what is the matter?"

The head constable, Zhang, glanced at Cai Fanzhou and said, "We are here on the orders of the Prefect to arrest the arsonist Wang Da. Doctor Cai, would you like to hand him over voluntarily, or shall we go in and arrest him ourselves?"

Arsonist Wang Da!

Upon hearing these five words, beads of sweat dripped from Cai Fanzhou's forehead.

Didn't Wang Da say it was done flawlessly?

Why did the authorities come knocking on our door so quickly?

Having once treated Zhang's elderly mother for a medical ailment, Cai Fanzhou, taking advantage of this past relationship, pulled Zhang aside and handed him a money pouch: "A small token of my appreciation, please have some tea with the brothers. Zhang, what exactly happened?"

Constable Zhang weighed the bag, then put it away. He looked around and whispered, "Doctor Cai, the Ren'ai Hall storeroom burned down recently. The case is now being handled personally by the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The guys at the prefectural office have been extremely busy lately. They finally found a night watchman who said that on the night the Ren'ai Hall storeroom burned down, he saw Wang Da sneaking around in the backyard of the clinic and throwing something in there."

It really was that matter!

How could the burning of a small clinic's storeroom alarm the Vice Minister of Justice?

Cai Fanzhou was completely baffled.

"Alright, Dr. Cai, for the sake of our friendship, you'd better hand him over voluntarily. Otherwise, if the brothers go in and arrest him, your clinic might be in trouble..."

Officer Zhang's meaning was clear, and Cai Fanzhou nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Officer Zhang. I'll go and hand the person over right away."

Cai Fanzhou rushed into the clinic and found Wang Da hiding in the woodshed.

Wang Da was so anxious that he kowtowed to Cai Fanzhou: "Master, you have to save me! Master, I have an elderly mother and wife and children to take care of at home. Master, you're the one who asked me to do this."

"Shut up!" Cai Fanzhou quickly stopped Wang Da.

He absolutely cannot get involved in this matter, otherwise Jirentang's reputation will be ruined.

"Wang Da, as long as you take the initiative to take this responsibility, I will take good care of your mother, wife and children. Otherwise, we will all perish together. With the strength of my Cai family, I can easily get away with it, but your family will not be able to survive without you."

After Cai Fanzhou used both threats and inducements, Wang Da lowered his head and kowtowed to Cai Fanzhou again: "Master, please take good care of my family."

"Don't worry." Cai Fanzhou patted Wang Da on the shoulder, feeling relieved.

Once Wang Da is arrested, whether or not his mother, wife, and children will be taken care of is entirely up to him.

Wang Da was taken away and took all the blame.

The Great Chu Kingdom severely punished arson. Although there were no casualties this time, Wang Da was ultimately sentenced to thirty strokes of the cane and exiled a thousand miles away.

Su Ruojin was somewhat surprised when she learned about this.

After all, the fire at Ren'ai Hall's storeroom wasn't a huge loss, and the local government usually wouldn't bother with such a minor matter. Yet, they found the arsonist and handed down a verdict so quickly.

Not only that, the prefect also led his constables to Shili Village, arrested the family that had poisoned General Su, and discovered that the entire village had murdered female infants. The entire village was exiled.

When these events were put together, Su Ruojin could easily guess that it was General Su who had made his move.

Punishing evildoers is always a good thing, so Su Ruojin didn't take it to heart.

Just then, Yanlu rushed into the room in a flurry of activity: "Miss, we've arrived, we've arrived!"
