No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

"My Lord, I wonder what fault I have committed that has troubled you to mobilize so many troops!"

Just to capture Xue Duanhua, who was weak as a kitten, they mobilized so many troops that the entire street was blocked. The originally bustling street was now deserted.

A solemn atmosphere accompanied by cold wind blew onto Yangyang's face.

"Miss Xue, why are you here? Cao is ordered to do so. Do you know that obstructing our investigation will lead to a crime?"

The captain on horseback was a little surprised to see Xue Yangyang was present. After all, the order he received was not to capture Xue Yangyang.

All of this seemed like a sure win, and Yangyang could certainly see that it was all prepared in advance.

Once this group of people capture the second uncle and torture him severely, they will reveal that the boss behind the scenes is the old lady. In the end, what awaits them is that the left prime minister and his entire family will be confiscated.

No matter what they say today, they can't succeed. Yangyang pretended to be calm, straightened his clothes, raised his head and told the story while sorting out his thoughts.

"This Nisangfang was handed over to me by my grandmother a few days ago. My grandmother has been seriously ill for some time and has not had time to look after the shop for a long time, so I wanted to come and take a look. I didn't expect that Lord Cao would bring so many people here."

Yangyang held his chest with worry, and continued to act in a daze.

"I really don't know what you mean by handling the case, sir. Is it in accordance with your order?"

After a long and eloquent explanation, Captain Cao raised the reins and glanced at one of his subordinates with a drooping mouth.

The subordinate took the order, puffed out his chest and strode forward a few steps, raised his hands diagonally upwards,

"We have received the order from His Majesty to arrest the wanted criminal Xue Duanhua. Please stop talking nonsense and hand him over to us immediately."

"Want to commit a crime? I wonder what crime my second uncle has committed? I really don't know," Yangyang frowned, her eyes drooping, as if she had suddenly realized something, "I was looking for him too. No wonder, no wonder the shop was not open when I came today! He, my second uncle ran away!"

Captain Cao snorted coldly, "Go in and search!"

While his subordinates were searching for people, Captain Cao looked at Yangyang's expression. Since he had to act, Yangyang acted out his worry to the extreme.

"Master Cao, although the cloth in my shop is of aged quality, the Xue family has been an imperial merchant for many years, so please don't damage it."

"You Xue family are so bold that you dare to talk to me about the cloth." Captain Cao was worried about not being able to find an excuse, but now,

"Privately buying and selling royal cloth is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Even if your father is the left prime minister of the dynasty, it is in vain!"

As he said this, he was thinking about arresting Yangyang, "Someone, come! Catch her for me!"

"Your Highness, I don't know what the imperial cloth is, and I don't know what I did wrong?" Yangyang knew this, so he did it on purpose, firstly to confirm his guess, and secondly...

"Master Cao, you brought so many troops from the Jinglin Division without informing me!"

Suddenly, a low but teasing voice came from the team, gradually emerging with the sound of horse hooves.

Captain Cao took a closer look and chuckled, "It turned out to be Master Guan. Master Guan looks so tired, I guess he just came back from Tong County! I'll take care of it, no need to trouble you!"

It is true that Lord Guan looks exhausted, and the horse he is riding seems a little tired. Judging from his expressions, Lord Cao and Lord Guan, although they are both from the Jinglin Division, do not seem to be of the same kind.

Yangyang was just looking around when Lord Guan turned his gaze over to her. Yangyang bowed politely.

Seeing that his men were about to arrest the large number of soldiers, Lord Guan turned his attention to Lord Cao.

"Since we are arresting Xue Duanhua, why do we need to mobilize a large force to arrest Miss Xue? Is this also the order of His Majesty?"

Although Captain Cao felt somewhat guilty about His Majesty's order, and could hear the hint from Lord Guan, he had received the order from the palace after all, so he could not be vague in his work.

"Oh, haha! Lord Guan, you don't know that His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation into the sale of royal fabrics. Miss Xue said that the shop is under her name, so she cannot escape the connection!"

"Oh?" Lord Guan, riding on his horse, brushed off the dust on his body, rubbed the stubble on his chin mockingly, and looked at Yangyang, "Lord Cao means that you ordered Xue Duanhua to sell this cloth?"

Yangyang didn't know what Lord Guan's position was, but she could tell that he was different from Lord Cao. She just wanted to take a gamble. Thinking of this, she knelt down and explained calmly,

"Your Excellency, I have just explained that my grandmother had just..., so this is the first time I have heard of the imperial cloth. I really don't know!"

"Of course you will say you don't know. If we hadn't come here to search today, how would we have implicate you!" Captain Cao spoke bluntly and was determined to offend Yangyang.

As they were talking, all the soldiers who had gone to search came back. A leader reported, "Master Cao, Master Guan, there is no one inside, even..."

"Even what? If you keep hesitating, go down and get a beating!" Captain Cao spoke urgently, with a bad premonition.

The subordinate said, "We didn't receive any royal cloth. We searched everywhere but didn't find any!"

"This Xue Duanhua is really cunning. Lord Cao is going to arrest Miss Xue and torture her severely?" Lord Guan's gloating ridicule and instigation made Yangyang couldn't help laughing.

This made Captain Cao quite angry. He glared with his round eyes like a toad and said, "But search carefully! Watch out for your skin!" As he spoke, the horse under him neighed in fear.

"We've searched everywhere, sir, but we can't find it!" The subordinate wiped the sweat from his forehead. If he had known that he had been assigned such an unreasonable task, he would not have come here.

Seeing that the search was fruitless and the witnesses and evidence were missing, Captain Cao had no choice but to bite the bullet and

"Send me a wanted order to capture Xue Duanhua in the whole city. As for the cloth, seal up this shop first!"

"Excuse me, sir, what evidence do you have? Now there is no witness or evidence, so why do you want to close the shop?" Yangyang knew very well that Captain Cao had someone above him, but he couldn't just let the matter go like this for no reason.

Captain Cao said vaguely, "The Jinglin Division is handling a case, how can a little girl like you interfere? Of course someone must have reported it!"

"Who is it? Who is trying to make things difficult for our Xue family and put them to death?" This is what Yangyang wanted to defend. Yangyang raised his voice and said solemnly, "Please understand, my two lords. Our Xue family will never accept such slander and humiliation!"

"you……"

"Miss Xue, please stand up quickly. With Captain Cao here, the Xue family will never be wronged. Captain Cao is a favorite of the Second Princess!"

Master Guan teased, his eyes fell on Captain Cao, who was unhappy, and changed his mind and said, "We are deeply favored by the emperor, so we are naturally here to relieve His Majesty's worries!"
