Having returned from Yongfu Pawnshop, Shen Changqing once again fell into a life of leisure. Despite the troubleso duty of being the Defender of Lin’an City, the city was, in fact, at its most peaceful when the Demon’s Essence Blood had not truly erged.
Shen Changqing couldn’t be bothered to pay much attention to the people from the five factions. As for other wandering individuals from Jianghu, they weren’t even qualified to catch his notice.
So, during these past few days, he kept a low profile. He would either visit Yongfu Pawnshop to check on the latest developnts, stay at the inn, or take in the local culture and customs of Lin’an City.
At the Yan, after Zhao Fang’s death, the appointnt of a new County Magistrate had yet to arrive, leading to a headless state of affairs. Only the Principal Clerk and Adviser were there to barely hold the fort, preventing the Yan from completely falling into disarray.
Regarding this, Shen Changqing didn’t intervene much. His mission was only to ensure the safety of the civilians in Lin’an City; whether the Yan was in chaos or not did not concern him greatly.
「Zhao Family. In front of the house.」
"Lord Shen," Hong Cheng, temporarily acting as the arrest officer, said with a troubled expression, "these past few days, people from the Zhao Family have continuously tried to escape, but we’ve driven them back. However, the Yan is short-staffed. If this continues long-term, mistakes are inevitable."
As no orders had co down, the Zhao Family mbers could neither be killed nor released. However, if anyone from the Zhao Family escaped, it would beco a significant problem for them.
Zhao Fang’s collusion with Demon Evil was no secret, and the Zhao Family mbers were well aware of it. Such a cri, once judged, was very likely to result in the execution of the entire family.
Shen Changqing’s expression remained calm as he looked at the walls of the Zhao Family residence. "I have already sent a ssage back to the Demon-Subduing Division. Before long, the judgnt on the Zhao Family will be passed down. If anyone tries to escape in the anti, they will be dealt with on charges of fleeing out of fear of cri."
"What do you an, Lord Shen?"
"Kill!" Shen Changqing uttered the word with icy severity.
Hong Cheng’s heart jolted. Kill! This was an order to begin the slaughter of the Zhao Family!
Just then, the firmly locked gates of the compound suddenly burst open. Over a dozen servants rushed out and were instantly t by several governnt officials drawing their swords to block them.
"Without orders from above, not a single person from the Zhao Family is allowed to leave!"
"Go back! All of you, go back! Or else, don’t bla my blade for showing no rcy—"
