Zhao Dahe was somewhat worried and thought for a moment before sending Qin Zheng to find Yun Ying. Yun Ying quickly arrived. "My mother has returned to Huaiyuan County, and I’m feeling a bit uneasy about it." Yun Ying nodded, "I’ll send someone to follow her." "I’ve eaten so many meals cooked by Lady Zhao; consider it the meal payment," Yun Ying said. Zhao Dahe chuckled, "Actually, it should be fine. My mother is quite capable. Besides, the others might not react in time." "It’s always good to be prepared," Yun Ying said. He always preferred to be fully prepared. "You’re right," Zhao Dahe agreed, "Those people around you, did you train them yourself or was it the Duke Mansion?" "I trained them myself," Yun Ying said. Growing up, he hadn’t lived in the Duke Mansion. Recently, he found out he wasn’t a fatherless child; in fact, his father was a famous Duke of Zhou Country. Zhao Dahe didn’t pay attention to the emotions of Yun Ying; he was pondering whether he should also train some people. For his future in officialdom, he would find it useful. But how to train them, he was clueless. Maybe he should ask his mother later? Or wait until he sees his father and ask him? Even when his father lost his memory, Dahe thought his father was quite capable. Now that his father had regained his memory and was a Great General, he must be even more formidable.

She tied Ashes to a tree and took a nap while the sounds of travelers began around her. The city gates opened, and Meng Yao led Ashes straight to the back door of the County Government. After knocking for a while, someone came to open the door. Meng Yao recognized the person as a Government Official. "Lady Zhao." The Government Official obviously recognized Meng Yao too, "Weren’t you in the prefecture? Does our young master have any issues? I’ll call the master immediately." "Ange is doing great, there’s no problem." Meng Yao said, "I returned to deliver a message to my brother-in-law." The Government Official nodded and hurriedly went to call someone. Ren Zhong, with his mouth still full, jogged over. "Why did you suddenly return?" Ren Zhong struggled to swallow the food in his mouth. "Zhao Ting asked me to give this to you." Meng Yao handed the account book to Ren Zhong, "These are tributes given by the Prefectural Magistrate to Li Tanyun over the years, and the amount is astonishing." Ren Zhong’s mind raced to consider Li Tanyun’s involvement, but regardless, the Prefectural Magistrate was certainly not clean. "As for what to do, that’s your concern," Meng Yao said, "I’m just here to deliver the message." Ren Zhong nodded, "I understand." He had connections with Zhao Ting, not through letters, but through Zhao Ting’s close confidants. "You should rest in Ange’s room since you traveled through the night," Ren Zhong said. "I’ll prepare some food and eat before resting," Meng Yao didn’t stand on ceremony with Ren Zhong as she was indeed tired. "Do you need someone to assist you?" Ren Zhong asked. Meng Yao waved him off, "No, if there’s something, I’ll handle it myself." Ren Zhong hurriedly left. It seemed there were arrangements between Zhao Ting and Ren Zhong that she didn’t have to follow up on. Ren Zhong issued some instructions and left the Government Office, but this time, he didn’t take any Government Officials, only his close confidants and Zhao Ting’s confidants. It’s a pity that, for now, they could only destroy the Heaven and Earth Sect in the Qingzhou Prefecture. However, it was still a significant achievement. As for the main sect of Heaven and Earth, it would be reported up, and the Emperor would make a decision. After this event, his name would be known among the Heaven and Earth Sect, and the days ahead might not be peaceful. But there was nothing to fear with Zhao Ting as his shield. Meng Yao woke up at noon, left the room, and met arrest officer Xu. Meng Yao greeted arrest officer Xu. "Why aren’t you with the master?" Meng Yao casually asked. "The master asked me to stay in the Government Office," arrest officer Xu said, "I’m here to ask if Ange is doing well in the prefecture. Our Xiao Bao has been missing him greatly, always asking where Ange went and when he’ll return." "He’s doing well, but as for when he’ll return, I don’t know. You’ll have to ask the master," Meng Yao said calmly, "Arrest officer Xu, do you have anything else? I’m eager to get back." "No, nothing," arrest officer Xu said, still with a simple smile on his face. "Where is my horse?" Meng Yao asked. "I forgot to say, Lady Zhao, your horse seems exhausted, isn’t eating, and has diarrhea; I’m afraid it can’t travel," arrest officer Xu said. "Then please have arrest officer Xu summon a veterinarian to check it," Meng Yao said calmly. "Since arrest officer Xu sincerely wants me to stay, I won’t be leaving." "You know?" arrest officer Xu still smiled. "I’ve been wondering, since you’re with Heaven and Earth Sect, why did Zhao Ting manage to infiltrate it smoothly and you didn’t tip them off?" Meng Yao asked. She was genuinely curious. "The ones I usually communicated with were Wu Kong and Xiong Da." arrest officer Xu’s eyes gleamed fiercely, "There are fewer affairs in the county town, so I rarely communicate. That He Yan—oh, I mean Zhao Ting—I didn’t know who he was, but he managed to take down Wu Kong’s temple at once." arrest officer Xu didn’t get a chance to leave the Government Office. Both his contact and contact point were gone. So, he was fighting alone now. "Then why did you expose yourself?" Meng Yao was puzzled. Such exposure seemed meaningless. "Isn’t it because you forced me!" arrest officer Xu said through clenched teeth. Forced? What did they force? "Take me to where Xiong Da and the others are imprisoned," Meng Yao said. "Me?" Meng Yao laughed, "You’ve got the wrong person. How would I know? You’re the arrest officer; why wouldn’t you know?" Earlier, Ren Zhong said arrest officer Xu could be trusted, but now it seemed Ren Zhong was mistaken. "Ren Zhong transferred the people; I don’t know," Meng Yao said. She was being truthful; she really didn’t know. "You’re so close to Ren Zhong, how could you not know? He trusted you with Ange!" arrest officer Xu clearly didn’t believe her. "Believe it or not, I don’t know means I don’t know." "Don’t rely on your fighting skills to be arrogant. If I weren’t fully prepared, how could I stand before you?" arrest officer Xu said through gritted teeth. The so-called preparation was nothing more than using incense that prevented people from gathering Inner Strength. She had no Inner Strength, so it had no effect on her. However, she wanted to see what arrest officer Xu planned to do. "I really don’t know. I’m in your hands now; being stubborn won’t benefit me," Meng Yao said. arrest officer Xu stared at Meng Yao intently; her straightforward speech without hesitation suggested she truly didn’t know. "I still gain something by having you," arrest officer Xu approached and tied Meng Yao’s hands behind her back. Meng Yao didn’t resist as she wanted to see what arrest officer Xu planned to do. The back door opened, and a carriage was waiting; Meng Yao was pushed into it, finding arrest officer Xu’s wife and child inside. arrest officer Xu sat on the carriage seat, wielding the whip, and the carriage slowly moved from the alley. "You’re the real member of the Heaven and Earth Sect, aren’t you?" Meng Yao asked arrest officer Xu’s wife, who held Xiao Bao.
