When Chu Sihai heard the shop assistant’s report, he thought that Li Yu had thought of something else and hurriedly went out to welcome her. “Madam Li, what happened?”

Li Yu smiled and said, “I have something to ask you for help with.” Chu Sihai heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Just tell me if there’s anything. ”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “I didn’t think of being polite with you. When I thought of it, I came to look for you. It’s about my Ah Qing going to Le County to take office. You know that those people are a little dissatisfied with my family. I’m worried that they won’t be able to live in Le County. I want to ask you to help me find a few idle people to protect them.”

Chu Sihai thought for a moment and said, “Madam Li, I have a few people here who retired from the Secret Guards Team. They’re all injured and will be easily recognized after suffering disabilities or scars. As long as you don’t mind, I’ll recommend a few to you.”

Li Yu smiled and waved her hand. “Head Shopkeeper, these brothers are all top-notch experts. How can I mind? I would like to hire a few more of them.”

Chu Sihai laughed when he heard that. “That’s not much. The Dark Team spent a lot of effort to nurture a qualified Dark Team. If it were not for their appearance or their limbs that have easily recognizable physical characteristics, we can’t bear to let them retire.”

Li Yu nodded and said, “You’re right. If it’s convenient, give us all those brothers. I promise Ah Qing won’t treat them badly.”

Chu Sihai smiled brightly and said, “Madam Li, you’re treating me like an outsider. I know your family best. How can you treat them badly!”

Li Yu smiled and said, “Thank you for your praise!”

Chu Sihai thought for a moment and said, “There are four of them. One of them is called Liang Cheng. He has a long scar on his face from the top of his nose to his chin. The other is called Hu Zhong. This person has a broken arm. The other two are called Ding Yi and Ding Kui. Both of them are crippled. These people are all quite skilled. They’re all doing some chores in the Imperial Manor outside the East City. When I’ve reported to the higher-ups, I’ll bring them to your residence.”

Li Yu understood who the head of the secret guards was and smiled. “Thank you, Head Shopkeeper. Then I’ll take my leave first.”

Chu Sihai smiled and stood up. “Alright, I’ll send you out.”

When the two of them walked to the door, Li Yu suddenly thought of something. “Head Shopkeeper, there’s one more thing. I saw a few baskets of sweet potatoes in the farmstead in Liang Village. They were probably left behind to plant.”

“As you know, other than my family, only the Imperial Manor has sweet potato seeds. I can guarantee that it’s absolutely impossible for seeds to flow out. I wonder where they got their seeds?”

“There’s actually such a thing?” Chu Sihai pondered for a moment and said, “It seems that they still have people in the Imperial Plantation. I’ll get someone to investigate.”

“I suddenly remembered, so I reminded you.”

Li Yu recalled what the steward of that manor had done before she accepted the manor at the Wang Family Village. She also felt that it was time to investigate the Imperial Manor.

After bidding farewell to the bank and returning home, Li Qing arrived.

Li Qing looked at Li Yu happily and resentfully. “Sister, look, you’re already so old. You can’t be so rash in the future. You can’t do those dangerous things anymore.”

Li Yu smiled and patted him. “Young brat, you’re getting bolder. You actually dare to teach your sister a lesson.”

“I was worried about you!” Li Qing looked at Li Yu and said reluctantly, “Sister, when Uncle comes out of the examination hall, we’re going to Le County.

Remember to come and see me when you’re free.” 𝓯𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Li Yu also looked at Li Qing reluctantly. “I know. I got four retired secret guards for you from the head shopkeeper. It’s just that their faces and bodies are a little disabled. You won’t mind, right?”

Li Qing sat beside Li Yu with a smile. “Look at what you’re saying. I’m not such a shallow person! If not for you, where would I find such capable people?”

Li Yu nodded. “I believe you. There are some things I didn’t say to Wanwan so clearly, but you should know.”

Li Qing looked at Li Yu worriedly. “Sister, did something happen?”

“There are some things.” Li Yu looked at Li Qing. “It might be the Second Prince’s people who kidnapped me this time. From what they said, they blame me for ruining their plans, so they sent someone to kidnap me in order to take revenge on us. I was worried that it would not be peaceful for you to go to Le County, so I went to look for Chu Sihai to find someone to protect you.”

Li Qing comforted Li Yu. “Sister, Le County is not far from the capital. You even found someone to protect us. We’ll be fine.”

“Alright, go back and pack your things. I’ll send them to you when the head shopkeeper brings them over.”

After Li Yu left, Chu Sihai reported that Li Yu had come to him to help find someone. At this moment, Ding Yi returned from the north city gate and reported to Chu Sihai.

Chu Sihai told him about Manor Head Chi’s confession and Li Yu’s guess. He instructed, “Go to Liang Village and inform Hu Cheng. The two of you will bring a brother each to the mountain ridges around Liang Village to check. Pay attention to those remote villages. You have to pay attention to anything amiss along the mountain path close to Liangzhou that leads to the capital.”

When Ding heard this, he said, “Yes, please make two copies of the map of the mountain ridge in Liang Village for me.”

Chu Sihai nodded and said, “Alright, go and prepare. I’ll get someone to make a copy for you.”

“Yes.” Ding Yi left.

The map of the mountain beam was copied in less than half an hour. Ding Yi came out with his luggage. Chu Sihai handed the map to him. Ding Yi put the map away and went out to rush to Liang Village.

After the two secret guards brought the unconscious Li Fengqi and the other two back and imprisoned them, they reported to Chu Sihai, “Head Shopkeeper, the two women drugged him and planned to escape. We brought them back and imprisoned them.”

Chu Sihai nodded. “Alright, go and rest for a while. Go to Tongfu Inn in

Shanyang County to pick up Yan Niang.”

Not long after the two of them left, the palace sent the concocted pills to Chu Sihai and even brought him the note written by the imperial physician.

It was as Mr. Wen and Li Yu had said. They said that this pill could only make people hallucinate and could not really control a person, especially one who was strong and determined.

Chu Sihai took the pill and decided to give it to the two women to try.

After going to the dungeon to give the pills to Ah Ying and the old woman, less than an hour later, Ah Ying became confused. Chu Sihai’s men coaxed Ah Ying to talk about the past.

He learned from Ah Ying that she and the old woman were the relatives of the Noble Consort’s family.

The Eldest Prince was crippled after the fall of the Noble Consort. The Second

Prince faked his death and escaped. After the Third Prince became the emperor, the loyalists were beheaded and exiled. Ah Ying and some of the families of the offenders were taken away during the exile because they wanted to make a comeback.

He also asked about the scheme of the cheating case from the two of them. The two imperial scholars who had been captured were their people. They had been rescued during the exile and arranged for fake identities to participate in the examination..
