I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Madam Xiao sneered and stomped the dragon-headed cane in her hand hard on the ground, showing the aura of the mistress of the house.

"Eunuch Yu is overestimating our Xiao family. Yun Zhan is the only man left in the Xiao family. He was beaten with a stick yesterday and is now lying unconscious in bed. Who else in the Xiao family can transfer the property?"

"What's more, the Xiao Mansion was guarded by guards last night. How can we, women and children who are powerless, transfer the property under the noses of the guards?"

"A tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog. As soon as my Xiao family fell into trouble, the thief targeted us. He took advantage of the chaos in my Xiao family and robbed everything in it."

"If my Xiao family had not suffered such a disaster, that thief would not dare to come to my Xiao family to steal so brazenly even if he had ten times the courage..."

Old Madam Xiao looked at Yu Huaqian with a cold gaze, her words were sonorous and powerful, neither arrogant nor humble, and what she said was reasonable and well-founded.

Lin Yiran held Madam Xiao's arm and looked at her with shining eyes.

After all, she is the mistress of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, and her aura is powerful.

Yu Huaqian was stunned for a moment and slightly pulled the corners of his lips.

He was too embarrassed to say that he didn't need to borrow any courage. The thief even emptied the imperial palace and the national treasury. He was very bold.

Looking at the expression of Old Madam Xiao, she probably thought that the thieves only stole from her Xiao family.

It would be great if it were so. The thieves don't distinguish who is who. They are definitely the ones who will take advantage of anyone who passes by.

Not even a teacup was left for the palace, and they were even so cruel as to steal all the belongings of the palace maids and eunuchs.

Yu Huaqian frowned and waved his hand helplessly.

"Someone, go and carry Xiao Yunzhan out and quickly send him to the city gate. Don't delay your journey."

The entire capital city was under blockade today, and he had to take the imperial edict and escort the Xiao family out of the city.

Xiao Yunzhan pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside. When he heard the dog eunuch's sarcastic tone, he almost couldn't help but rush out several times.

He's just one eunuch, and with those guards, he has a chance of defeating him.

It’s difficult to leave the capital, as he can’t gamble with his entire family.

It was easy for him to leave alone, but it was totally impossible for him to leave with his whole family.

Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Yunzhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately tilted his head and lay on the bed, his breathing slowed down, and he did not move.

The two guards did not hold back at all. They each grabbed one of Xiao Yunzhan's arms and dragged him out of the room.

Now, every guard in the capital city is in danger for themselves, so they don’t have the leisure to feel sorry for others. They just complete their tasks numbly.

They are now quite envious of Xiao Yunzhan. Exile is better than living in fear in the capital.

Early in the morning, Emperor Wu of Liang sent over a hundred people to the Ministry of Punishment, including people from all walks of life. Who wouldn't be afraid?

"Yun Zhan!"

When Old Madam Xiao saw Xiao Yunzhan being dragged out by the guards with his feet on the ground, she went to him with heartache, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Yiran looked at Xiao Yunzhan's expression carefully and raised her eyebrows slightly.

She applied a little of the remaining medicine on her forehead, and the wound healed completely and she no longer felt any pain.

Xiao Yunzhan has used healing pills both internally and externally, so the effect should be better.

In theory, even if Xiao Yunzhan can't run as freely as a normal person now, he can still walk independently.

Now Xiao Yunzhan had his eyelids drooping and looked half dead, which was most likely fake.

After all, he was able to hold a funeral when he was sent back to the palace last night, and he was alive and well the next day. It would be strange if Emperor Wu of Liang did not suspect anything.

"Eunuch Yu, for the sake of my father, General Yao, please arrange two more guards to carry my fourth brother to the city gate with a blanket!"

The second sister-in-law looked at the bloodstains on Xiao Yunzhan's clothes and felt so distressed that she turned around and knelt down towards Yu Huaqian.

The coffin is too heavy, and the guards will definitely not be happy to carry it. The quilt is lighter and softer, so it will be more comfortable for my fourth brother to lie on it.

Yu Huaqian looked at Xiao Yunyou's widow with a sneer, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.

Speaking of General Yao, he really didn't want to give him this face.

General Yao once disliked the eunuchs because they smelled of urine in front of everyone.

He hasn't forgotten this.

Not hearing Yu Huaqian relax, the sister-in-law couldn't help but clench her fists, and she didn't even notice her nails piercing into the flesh.

She looked at Xiao Yunzhan distressedly, then turned her head to look at Yu Huaqian and pleaded,

"Eunuch Qiuyu, please do me a favor for the sake of my father, Wan Yuandong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Eunuch Qiuyu, please show mercy for the sake of my father Zheng Shiqi." The third sister-in-law wiped her tears and looked at Yu Huaqian with sobs.

There was pain and sorrow in Mrs. Xiao's pupils.

How sad it is that her Xiao family has fallen to the point of requiring a eunuch.

Xiao Yunzhan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he heard his sisters-in-law humbly pleading for him.

He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, lowered his head and the veins on his temples bulged.

Lin Yiran kept looking at Xiao Yunzhan. Seeing his subtle movements, she was relieved when she confirmed that he was completely fine.

She turned around and looked at Yu Huaqian with a half-smile.

"I think Eunuch Yu should have heard about the incident last night when the Xiao family was protected by the gods?"

Lin Yiran raised her hand and pointed at the wall. "Look at the blood of those men in black on the top of the wall. These people killed loyal people and were punished by the gods. They died before they could even scream..."

"You can try to torture General Xiao, then..."

Lin Yiran sneered as she glanced at the guards, her gaze finally landing on Yu Huaqian, "There is no room for maneuver in this divine punishment."

Yu Huaqian's heart skipped a beat and he looked around in horror.

These guards had no idea what happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion last night, but he knew it clearly.

He followed Emperor Wu of Liang to Concubine De's palace and listened to the whole story told by the man in black who was still breathing after being dragged back by the guards.

The man in black rolled his eyes and died after he finished speaking. Emperor Wu of Liang was furious and directly deposed Concubine De from her position as concubine.

No wonder Wei Jianxiong had charged the Xiao family with the crime of theft in the morning court. Emperor Wu of Liang did not say anything on the surface, but only asked him to conduct a thorough search in private.

Emperor Wu of Liang must still be worried about the divine protection that came to the Xiao family last night.

He had been thinking about the thefts in the palace and the national treasury all morning, so how could he have forgotten about this?

Thinking of this, Yu Huaqian took a deep breath, pursed his lips and said,

"Since the Xiao family has made great military achievements, we will give you this honor."

Yu Huaqian raised his chin towards the guard beside him.

"Go get the quilt and carry the person."

Soon the guards took out a blood-stained quilt from the room.

Lin Yiran took the quilt from the guard and spread it on the ground in front of Xiao Yunzhan. The guards put Xiao Yunzhan on the quilt.

At least they were not so rough this time.

The sisters-in-law all helped to pull the corners of the quilt, and gently moved Xiao Yunzhan to the middle of the quilt, trying to cover his body as much as possible.

Xiao Yunzhan was as limp as a rag doll, allowing himself to be manipulated by several people.

Be patient and wait for him to come back, and take these people's lives.
