“They’re more scheming than I thought.”

Han Qiao was surprised.

Heng Yi told her everything that had happened in the morning.

Han Qiao was also flabbergasted.

“Who do you think Constable Chen is working for?”

Heng Yi thought for a moment before he finally replied, “He said he would be promoted as soon as possible. Eighty to ninety percent, my guess is the commander.”

Zhang Huiguang was the Emperor’s man.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent to such an important place like Chenzhou as a commander.

Heng Yi was no longer the Heng Yi he used to be. Han Qiao had been telling him the Thirty-Six Stratagems over and over again these days. As for the other profound military strategies, Han Qiao really didn’t know them.

She felt that it was good enough that she could remember the 36 Stratagems.

Heng Yi hadn’t seen his son for a whole day, and now, the little guy was giggling whenever he teased him. He kissed his son’s little hands and feet.

The father and son were having a great time.

Han Qiao looked at the two of them and smiled gently.

Dong Lai had just returned to his room when Pucao arrived with a food box in her hands.

“Pucao.” Dong Lai’s eyes lit up with joy.

“I… I left you a bowl of tremella soup.”

There was a lot of white fungus soup in the residence. As the head maid, she could also get a bowl.

She couldn’t bear to eat such a precious meal, so she kept it.

Madam knew her intentions and asked her to come with her to take a look.

“Let’s eat together,” Dong Lai said softly.

“Alright.”

How could Dong Lai not know that Pucao had saved this expensive meal for him?

The two of them took a bite of the white fungus soup.

Dong Lai was good at talking, but in front of the girl he liked, his eloquence was rendered useless.

After eating the soup, Dong Lai went to take a bath. Pucao tidied up the bed for him. After Dong Lai finished was.h.i.+ng, he took his dirty clothes away and brought them back to wash and dry.

Once he was done, Dong Lai pulled Pucao’s hand.

He plucked up his courage and kissed her gently on the lips.

Their hearts were pounding like drums, their faces red, and unable to speak.

Pucao embarra.s.sedly glared at Dong Lai with watery eyes, then ran away quickly with his clothes.

Dong Lai chased her to the door and grinned as he watched Pucao leave.

The day of moving was getting closer and closer. Heng Yi was busy in the government office, and so was Han Qiao. They were busy shopping in the city and decorating their new home.

The things that were lacking at home had to be added.

She even specially booked a big bed and a small bed. Sometimes, Heng Yi couldn’t always get up at night to help the child pee.

Heng Yi’s heart ached for her, and so did hers.

November 21

Chenzhou City rich merchant Mou Yuanwai went to the government office to report.

Minister Mou had a daughter who was as beautiful as a flower. She would be sent to the palace after the next year’s selection.

However, he did not want her to be the target of an infamous lecherous man.

This man was also very bold. He even sent an invitation saying that the twenty-second day was a good day, and he wanted to marry Miss Mou.

This was bad.

Minister Mou was furious and quickly mobilized people to protect his daughter, and just in case he went to report this to the government office.

It would be best if they could catch this arrogant man.

In order to make things go smoothly, Minister Mou had offered ten thousand taels of silver for their service.

If they were distributed to the small constables, each of them could get about ten taels.

Minister Mou also promised that the person who could catch the lecherous man would be rewarded handsomely.

Heng Yi was naturally chosen to protect her.

Miss Mou’s courtyard had three floors. The maids and old women who entered and exited were questioned before they were allowed in.

No one dared to be careless.

The four constables did the same.

On the twenty-second, the constables and guards were more alert as soon as the sky turned dark.

Several teams were patrolling, and Heng Yi walked at the back.

He didn’t know why this lecherous man was so arrogant.

It wasn’t until dawn that the fragrance wafted over. He quickly covered his nose while the constables in front of him all fell down.

“Aiyo, there’s actually a capable person.”

When the lecherous man made a move to stab Heng Yi with his sword, Heng Yi quickly dodged and drew his sword to meet him.

The two of them soon began to fight.

Hearing the sounds of fighting, Constable Chen and the others came over with their men.

The four constables were all skilled in martial arts.

Immediately, the fight began.

However, they did not expect that this man was not only skilled in martial arts, but his use of poison was also unfathomable.

Soon, their bodies fell to the ground weakly, their hearts filled with hatred.

Heng Yi was also affected, but he inhaled less Tendon Softening Powder.

The tip of the blade landed on the ground and he took a deep breath.

With his other hand, he pulled out a dagger and slashed his arm.

The pain instantly sobered him up.

Once again, he charged towards the man. This time, he did not hide his strength. He knew that he had to end the battle quickly.

Heng Yi’s moves became fiercer.

He used the killer move Jianing had taught him.

The man got slashed by Heng Yi.

“I didn’t expect that there would be such an impressive constable in Chen’s team.”

The man then threw a handful of poison powder at Heng Yi.

“Watch out-!”

“Heng Yi, watch out!” Constable Chen and the others exclaimed.

Heng Yi quickly dodged.

Some of the powder got caught on his clothes and it quickly burned through.

Heng Yi’s sword cut off his belt, grabbed the hilt, and attacked the man again.

When the man was about to throw more poison powder again, Heng Yi quickly took off his clothes to cover himself. The sword in his hand cut his clothes and flesh.

“Oh…”

Heng Yi took a few steps back and threw away the clothes in his hands. The cotton flew in the night sky, and there were traces of blood on his skin.

The man stood rooted to the ground, clutching his throat in disbelief.

Blood seeped out from between his fingers.

His eyes widened.

He watched Heng Yi slowly take off his pants and shoes.

Then, he used a dagger to cut his hair which was stained with poison.

So slow.

Before he fell, he saw Heng Yi’s face clearly.

Never in his dreams did he think that he would be defeated by a n.o.body.

Yes, a n.o.body.

Then he fell with a loud thud.

Soon after, Minister Mou arrived with his guards.

“D-d-dead?” He couldn’t believe it, but he was more delighted.

It was good that this lecherous man died. It was good for him to die.

“Yes, he’s dead.”

This fatal blow was Jianing’s killing move.

Jianing had said that unless it was absolutely necessary, they should not use this move. If they attacked, they had to deal a fatal blow.

“Alright, alright. Thank you!” Minister Mou asked people to find clothes for Heng Yi.

Then, he carried the constables who had been hit to the courtyard to rest.

The doctor immediately checked on them.

Fortunately, they were only poisoned by the Tendon Softening Powder. After taking the medicine and resting for two days, they all recovered.

When Heng Yi was about to leave, Minister Mou met him alone.

He handed a brocade box to Heng Yi, “This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it!”

Heng Yi wanted to refuse.

But Minister Mou stopped him, “This is for Master Heng alone. Please don’t reject it.”

“I will always remember your kindness.”

Without Heng Yi, his daughter would have been taken away by that man and her life would have been ruined, not to mention her future.

Heng Yi hesitated for a moment before he finally accepted it, “Thank you.”

He took the brocade box and left Mou Manor.

He was not good at dealing with the aftermath of the battle.

However, he could not leave even after reaching the city gate.

The city guard shouted, “Who is it?”

Heng Yi handed over his token.

The city guard took it and glanced at it, “Although we are colleagues, it is not appropriate to open the city gate for you if you are not in a hurry. You can wait until dawn.”

“Alright,”

Heng Yi walked to the side and leaned against the wall, waiting for the gate to open.

November nights were very cold.

The soldiers guarding the city gate invited Heng Yi into their house to avoid the wind, but he politely refused.

He was probably a fool..
