That night, the Protector General was taken into custody.

Ziyun's drug was very accurate, and everyone in the Protectorate was knocked unconscious. When Brother Shen and his men broke in, no one resisted.

When the Protector General was awakened by a glass of cold water, his alarm bells rang and he jumped up to kick Brother Shen.

Unfortunately, the drug was too strong, and he couldn't jump up at all. He could only point at Brother Shen's nose and curse: "Poisoning an official of the imperial court, committing treason, Master Shen, aren't you afraid of my report?"

"Protector General, please don't even think about threatening me at this point. If I don't, I'm afraid you won't let me leave Jingzhou alive." Elder Brother Shen said slowly, "Protector General, you still don't plead guilty?"

The Protector General was stubborn and said, "What did I do wrong?"

Brother Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "You, Lord Protector, are still trying to quibble at this point. Do you know that your wife has already told the Emperor everything you've done, and saved the lives of the three of them, mother and son."

"No...impossible." The Protector-General's face changed. His wife knew everything he had done over the years.

If she really betrayed him and killed her own relatives for the sake of justice, he would be afraid that he would have no way to survive.

"Don't cry until you see the coffin." Brother Shen snorted coldly and said to the palace servant who came with the imperial edict: "Eunuch Wang, thank you for your help."

Eunuch Wang nodded politely and stood before the Protector General, holding the imperial edict. If he hadn't been afraid of alerting the enemy, he would have read it out the day he arrived in Jingzhou: "By the will of Heaven, Protector General Li Wu of Jingzhou has colluded with bandits, slandered the people of Jingzhou, plundered their wealth, privately stockpiled weapons, maintained an army without authorization, and intended to rebel. His crimes are extremely heinous..."

The Protector General listened to the charges one by one, and they were exactly the same as the ones he had committed.

At this moment, the Protector General believed that his wife had betrayed him.

He was unwilling to give up, he still had a trump card.

The Protector General struggled to grab the stool and was about to throw it at Brother Shen, hoping to escape in the chaos.

Who knew that before he could even grab the stool, Brother Shen kicked it away: "If you still don't confess at this time, you deserve to die!"

"Come here, take him down." Brother Shen gave an order, and Li Wu was tied up and had no chance to resist.

"I want to see the emperor. I am wronged. I..."

Before Li Wu could finish, Brother Shen scoffed, "Unjust?"

"The things you hid in the mass grave outside Jingzhou City have been dug out, and the dragon robe you secretly made for yourself has been sent to the capital. And you still say you are wronged?"

"You framed me." Li Wu refused to admit it.

Big Brother Shen laughed: "Don't quibble. Your wife said it all. Your name and characters are embroidered on the sleeves. That dragon robe was embroidered by your wife. What else do you have to say?"

Li Wu closed his eyes in despair: "Bitch!"

He didn't expect that the person who hurt him was the one next to him.

Li Wu was captured without any effort. As for the soldiers under his command, an imperial edict was issued and they all knew that the Protector-General was guilty of heinous crimes and would be escorted back to the capital to be beheaded.

After dealing with Li Wu, there were still several thousand pirates.

The dispatched General Guo looked at Brother Shen and said, "He didn't reveal the location of those pirates. He just said he didn't know."

Brother Shen said, "I know."

General Guo was surprised: "How do you know?"

"My sister has infiltrated the pirates and sent a pigeon to inform them of their hiding place. There is no time to lose, let's set off now." Brother Shen was afraid that if it took too long, something would happen to Yan Bao.

After all, she is still a little girl. If she is discovered, what will she do when facing thousands of pirates?

Big Brother Shen didn't know that Yan Bao was living a good life in the pirate's hometown.

The old pervert was dealt with by her and is now hanging on by a thread. The boss is busy with the things at hand and doesn't care about this useless brother. It would be better if he didn't show up.

Others don't like him either.

Only when I saw Yan Bao walking around did I remember this person.

Yan Bao spared his life in order to deal with other people.

Occasionally, someone would come to see him and see him lying in bed, watching Yan Bao decocting medicine for him. She said he was sick and didn't get enough rest after drinking, so he fell ill and she took care of him personally.

The young lady who was rescued by Yan Bao lived with a good family this time. They did not beat or scold her. Apart from asking her to wash clothes and clean the house, they did not let her do anything else.

The little sister knew that Yan Bao couldn't speak, and she wasn't afraid of her telling others. She muttered, "Their family has been busy these past two days. I quietly followed them to see that they had placed a lot of things in a cave in the back mountain."

Yan Bao raised his eyebrows.

Seeing her interest, the young lady asked, "Do you want to go see what they're hiding?"

Yan Bao nodded.

The young lady waved her hand: "Come with me, I know where to peek without being caught."

Yan Bao followed her, turning left and right, and climbed the mountain for a while. He found a convenient position to peek and was about to stick his head out. When he heard voices, he immediately squatted down.

The sound came from below, rustling.

Yan Bao knew that they were peeing.

The two looked at each other, neither of them said anything, and listened to them talk.

"Why did the boss hide all the things here? Didn't you say that after the people from the capital leave, we will go back to continue our work as pirates? Are we going to hide here forever?"

"The headmaster received news that something seemed to have happened at the Protectorate. They also said that the group of people in the capital had not yet left. They said they drank too much last night and stayed for another day to hide their valuables in case something unexpected happened."

The man continued, "We have to take turns on duty tonight. I'm afraid something might happen."

"Who knows about this place besides our own people?" The other party was unconcerned and complained, "It's late at night, there are a lot of mosquitoes and poisonous snakes. What if I get bitten while on patrol?"
