Chapter 409: Chapter 409. Disrupting Luo City
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
His Excellency had said that as long as these two people were not killed by the ghosts in the residence tonight, they would find a reason to accuse them of a crime and confiscate the Su residence again.
How dare he bargain with their lord? Didn’t he know who was the master of Luo City?
It was too easy to frame them. They could simply get some contraband into the residence, and stuff two criminals wanted by the imperial court into it.
“Let’s see if they were killed by ghosts or by our adults.”
“Hmph, we can only live for one night anyway. Let’s wait and see!”
The two bailiffs were gloating when they suddenly felt a gust of cold wind. A figure fell from the sky. They looked up and saw a terrifying ghost face. That long red tongue flew towards them. They were so scared that they cried out and fell to the ground. Their legs went weak, and they couldn’t run even if they wanted to.
Seeing the ghost’s face getting closer and closer, its tongue wrapped around their necks, the two fainted from fear.
Su Qing put away the fake tongue made of red cloth. She had heard the words of the two bailiffs. She had wanted to let the Zhizhou live through the night, but since he was so eager to die, she would fulfill his wish.
As for the two bailiffs, Su Qing didn’t want to kill them. She fed each of them a hallucinogenic drug and left the rest to them. Tomorrow, two bailiffs would go crazy from being scared by ghosts on the street.
After dealing with the two bailiffs, Su Qing went to the restaurant to buy vegetables. She didn’t order from one restaurant, so she ordered five or six dishes from each restaurant to take away. This way, it didn’t seem obvious.
Su Qing didn’t ask the waiter to send it to the Su residence. She rented a food box from the restaurant and took the food and wine with her. She had stored them in the system.
The three restaurants ordered 16 dishes, with meat and vegetables taking up the majority. Each restaurant also made dumplings and steamed buns. It was enough to eat with more than 40 people.
As she brought the food and wine to the Su residence, she heard someone shouting in a hoarse voice,
“A ghost, a ghost with a long tongue?
“Ghost, ghost.”
The two bailiffs stumbled on the street, grabbing and shouting at the sight of people. The ancients were initially afraid of ghosts, but when they heard his shout, they were so scared that they did not dare to stay on the street and ran home.
Su Qing coldly watched the two bailiffs run away crazily before returning to the Su Residence.
The lock was still locked on the door. Su Qing took the key to open the door, and after entering, she stuck in the door from the inside.
She removed all the food boxes from the system and placed them at the entrance. She called Ji Shuisheng to bring people over to get the food.
More than 60 steamed buns, ten plates of dumplings, and 16 dishes were eaten by Guo Longjiang and his brothers like a whirlwind. They were still not satisfied after finishing them.
Ji Shuisheng chatted with them and told them about his plan to rebel. Guo Longjiang and his brothers expressed their willingness to rebel with Ji Shuisheng.
The men were talking about state affairs. Su Qing had to do something else, so she packed the food boxes and went out. She told Ji Shuisheng that she was going to return the food boxes. Ji Shuisheng did not suspect anything and told her to be careful.
After leaving the Su residence, Su Qing did not go to deliver the food boxes. She did not want the deposit. She tried to collect her 8,000 taels of silver.
Zhizhou Prefecture
The Zhizhou proudly showed off the eight thousand taels of silver to his concubine.
“Little Red, just wait and see. These two don’t know death and dare to bargain with me? I’ll make them lose both their lives and money. When 1 take back the house and sell it again, the money for buying an official position will be returned. As long as I can work as the Luo City Zhizhou for three years, it won’t be a problem for me to earn 100,000 snowflake silver.”
“Master, you’re competent.”
The concubine leaned into Zhizhou’s arms and praised him.
“Haha, Little Red is good at talking. Old Master will take good care of you tonight.”
The Zhizhou couldn’t help but feel restless. He went over and pulled Little Red into the inner room. They flirted all the way and stuck together.
All the lights in the brightly lit inner room suddenly went out simultaneously. The concubine was so scared that she screamed. Before she could call out, she was knocked out by someone.
The Zhizhou wanted to shout for help, but he realized that not only could he not move his body, he could not even make a sound.
Haunted? The Zhizhou’s first thought was that he had attracted ghosts!
“Where do you keep the money you embezzled?”
A sinister voice came into his ears. It was impossible to tell whether it was male or female, but it was filled with killing intent. It scared the Zhizhou so much that he almost peed in his pants. He was pulled by the collar and dragged away. The Zhizhou had no power to resist at all.
“Money or life?”
The terrifying voice rang out again, and the lights in the room lit up. When he saw the person before him, Zhizhou’s eyes widened. Was it her? Did he offend someone he shouldn’t have?
At first, the Zhizhou did not want to say anything, but Su Qing beat him. He took Su Qing to the secret room where he hid the silver and removed all the gold, silver, and jewelry he had brought from his house. She also took away all the money he had embezzled over the past month and the eight thousand taels of silver that Su Qing had bought the Su residence.
As for this dog official, there was no need to keep him. After killing the Zhizhou, Su Qing used the dog official’s blood to write two lines on the wall: Everyone can kill the traitor and help the Xia Dynasty!
After Su Qing finished writing, she burned down the Zhizhou Prefecture and went to prison to release those innocent people who had been captured to cause chaos in Luo City!
That was not all. Su Qing made two bundles of detonators in the system. The gunpowder was ready. The Su residence had thin bamboo. When Su Qing came out of the Su residence, she had the idea of stirring up Luo City. She had already cut two bamboo sticks and put them into the system. With the raw materials, she quickly made two bundles of detonators.
Su Qing brought two bundles of detonators to the Wan Family Army’s barracks in Luo City. The Zhizhou Mansion was on fire, and the Wan Family Army gathered to investigate the cause. More than a hundred soldiers had already gathered on the training ground. It had to be said that the Wan Clan Army was well-trained. Even though they had just woken up, there was no trace of chaos. They lined up in an orderly manner and prepared to set off with their weapons.
Su Qing lit a bundle of detonators and threw them at the assembled troops. With a loud boom, thick smoke rose. The Wan Family Army was killed and injured. Corpses flew into the sky, and flames shot into the sky. The scene was too horrible to look at. There were broken corpses all over the ground. Even the well-trained Wan Family Army was in a mess.
Su Qing immediately threw out a second bundle of detonators, blowing up the Wan family’s army preparing to hide. The military camp was in chaos. Su Qing took advantage of the fact that the commander went out to check on the situation and wrote the exact words as she did in the Zhizhou Mansion: Everyone can kill the traitor and help the Xia Dynasty!
Ji Shuisheng had just settled Guo Longjiang and the others when he heard an explosion. He jumped onto the roof and saw the flames toward the Northwest Military Camp. He guessed that Qing’er must have done it.
She didn’t return the food box but went to blow up the military camp.
Guo Longjiang and the others also ran to the courtyard when they heard the explosion. This sound was even louder than the thunder from the day the Earth Dragon flipped over. Could the Earth Dragon flip over in the middle of winter?
After the explosion, the Wan Family Army would search the city. Ji Shuisheng instructed Guo Longjiang,
“Brother Guo, quickly hide in the secret passage and don’t come out.”
“Alright.”
Guo Longjiang was experienced in hiding from the government for so long. He hurriedly brought his brothers to hide in the secret chamber of the Su Residence.
Ji Shuisheng saw that they had all hidden well and went out to look for Su Qing. As soon as he reached the door, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside..
