"Master, when will Qing'er come to pick us up? Cough cough~" Zhao Jiao had just recovered from the poison and hadn't slept all night, so her face was very pale.
"Don't worry, it should be soon. Didn't the person who took the things say they'd come to pick us up today? Just wait a little longer." Lin Zhengshan's eyes were also anxious.
"It's all the fault of those useless people from the Yao family; otherwise, we wouldn't have needed to intervene," Zhao Jiao complained.
When the Su family got into trouble, Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao were very happy, knowing that it was the Yao family members who had played a role.
But to my surprise, the Su family's case was settled so quickly, and there was no further news about the three members of the Yao family.
Lin Zhengshan, being a seasoned official, could guess that the three involved in such a matter were likely in grave danger, and was also somewhat afraid that the three would implicate them.
They lived in fear for a while, but gradually they were able to relax once no one came to cause them any trouble.
Lin Zhengshan had no idea that when the three members of the Yao family reported General Su's mansion for treason, they were imprisoned in a dark room without being subjected to any severe torture. They always felt that they had done the emperor a great favor and were waiting for the emperor to promote them to higher ranks.
What if they reveal that Zhao Jiao sent them to the Su residence, and the Emperor then bestows honors and rewards upon Zhao Jiao and her group?
The Yao family members were unwilling to share such a good thing with outsiders, so they naturally wouldn't mention Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao, thus saving them a lot of trouble.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, someone came to our door saying that Lin Wanqing had asked them to steal the defense map from the General's Mansion.
Lin Zhengshan was startled. Stealing the defense map from the general's mansion was no simple matter.
The visitor gave Lin Zhengshan some things, told him about the plan, and assured him that everything would go smoothly.
If Lin Wanqing manages to steal the defense map this time, she will bring Lin Zhengshan and his wife to Beili Jingqiang, where they will become the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the King of Beili, and be granted the titles of king and marquis.
Of course, Lin Zhengshan could refuse, but he would also lose the opportunity to go to Beili.
The choice is up to Lin Zhengshan.
It was only then that Lin Zhengshan learned that his daughter was now the Queen of Bei Li.
Although Lin Zhengshan had never been to Beili, he knew a little about it.
Although Beili is located on the grasslands and its people are mostly herders, with a barbaric and uncivilized culture, its conditions are incomparable to those of Da Chu.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. In the Great Chu, Lin Zhengshan knew that because of Su Ruojin, he had offended the Regent and the Su family.
In officialdom, everyone is shrewd. Even if Su Ruojin doesn't say anything to others, everyone can still read people's expressions.
For this reason, his chances of rising any higher in his life are virtually zero.
His superiors might even send him to a place even more remote than Lizhou in order to please the Regent's wife.
But when he arrived in Bei Li, his daughter became the Queen of Bei Li, and the Queen's parents were respected by everyone.
They can do whatever they want in Beili, which is much better than in Da Chu.
What's there to hesitate about?
Thinking about that person's plan, even though she would have to suffer a bit, Qing'er wouldn't harm her own parents, would she?
With that in mind, Lin Zhengshan no longer hesitated and decided to act according to the plan the visitor had suggested.
They easily stole the defense map.
In this way, they had already done a great service for Bei Li before they even arrived in Bei Li.
Once they arrive in Beili, the King of Beili will surely reward them even more.
Now they're just waiting for someone to come and pick them up.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Zhengshan's eyes lit up. "Madam, they've arrived!"
