Thinking of all this, Yan Xishan had to take a deep breath and control himself to calm down.

Staring at Chang Wei fiercely, he sneered and said, "Well done, Master Chang, you are really capable. You are so well prepared. I really have nothing to say at the moment."

"Then let him go, Lord Yan. The person you should arrest is not Gu Chan, but the mysterious man in black who sneaked into Jiangnan Garden last night." Chang Wei said proudly.

"Okay, since there is insufficient evidence, I will not say anything. We indeed arrested the wrong person last night. I will now order people to go to the prison and bring Gu Chan to you. After that, we will forget about this matter. I will catch the arsonist myself." In order to settle the matter peacefully, Yan Xishan finally chose to give in.

Then he sent someone to the county jail to pick up the person.

Everyone quieted down and waited quietly at the gate of the county government office.

After a while, the officer who went to pick up Gu Chan came back quickly.

Yan Xishan stared at him and asked, "Where are the people?"

"Lord Yan... this..." The officer was so embarrassed that he was speechless.

"If you have to fart, do it now." Yan Xishan roared.

The officer quickly put his mouth close to his ear and whispered, "Master Yan, that little devil doesn't want to come out. She said that she is too comfortable in the prison and wants to stay there forever. Moreover, I have a knife on her neck, but she is not afraid!"

"Damn it...I..." Yan Xishan was furious.

Now, it’s easy to catch people but difficult to let them out. What the hell is going on?

Chang Wei pressed, "Master Yan, it seems that something happened to Gu Chan in the prison! If she can't get out safely, I will not be polite."

"Master Chang, if Shopkeeper Gu cannot come out safely, we are willing to jointly write a letter to the capital with you, asking the emperor to make the decision."

"Yes, we are still hoping that Manager Gu will come out and sell us the blood of the spirit beast! If he dies in prison, we won't be able to get the blood of the spirit beast, and this matter will not end."

"Master Yan, if you catch the wrong person and kill him, if the emperor finds out, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending!"

Seeing that Chang Wei had the upper hand, the wealthy families began to add insult to injury.

Anyway, Yan Xishan had oppressed them a lot over the years, so it would be a great pleasure for them to take this opportunity to trick him.

Yan Xishan clenched his fists in hatred, but he didn't dare to lose his temper easily. He could only hold back his anger and said, "Okay, you wait, I will go to the prison to pick him up myself."

After saying that, Yan Xishan took the officers to the county jail again.

Everyone was waiting outside the door with great interest, wanting to see if Gu Chan had really gotten into trouble in prison.

In the big prison behind the county government office.

Soon Yan Xishan arrived here with the officials.

At this time, Gu Chan was lying on the floor of the cell where she was imprisoned, with her legs crossed, a piece of grass in her mouth, humming a song, with a smile on her face.

Yan Xishan walked to the prison gate and stopped, staring at Gu Chan who looked very happy and said, "Boy, please forgive me when you can. I have asked someone to let you out, but you are still not happy, right?"

"It's not that I'm not happy about it! It's just that I've never been to jail before. This is my first time, so naturally I want to stay longer." Gu Chan said with a grin.

"Stop it, and get out here right now." Yan Xishan roared.

Gu Chan turned over, with her back to him and her butt raised, she said, "I won't go out. It's quiet and comfortable in here. There are mice to chat with me at night. It's pretty good."

"You..." Yan Xishan was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

The officer standing beside him whispered, "Sir, he just told me that whoever arrested him last night should ask him to leave, otherwise he will not go out."

"Okay, okay, you are so cruel! Go outside and call my daughter to invite him." Yan Xishan said with a gloomy face.

The officer nodded quickly and ran out.

Yan Xishan said coldly, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Lord Yan! If you don't want others to know, then you had better not do it. You must know something about the loss of the Imperial Sword. I'm giving you a chance now. Please help me investigate this matter thoroughly and get the Imperial Sword back. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself." Gu Chan sat up and said seriously.

"What? You lost your imperial sword? You are too careless! If the imperial envoy knew about this, he would chop off your head! Now, I don't even need to teach you a lesson, your family will take care of you!" Yan Xishan said in a surprised manner.

After saying this, he laughed out loud on purpose.

Seeing him like this, Gu Chan could only shake her head and sigh, thinking that this corrupt official really could not be kept. It seemed necessary to get rid of him completely, which would be considered as eliminating a great harm to the Jiangnan area.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan said nothing more. She just stood up silently, patted the dirt off her body, and tidied her appearance.

Soon after, Yan Li followed the officers into the prison cell.

Standing at the prison door, she continued to shout, "Who do you think you are? Do you need me to invite you? Are you worthy?"

"Come, open the door." Gu Chan said to the officer.

The officer hurried forward and opened the prison door.

Gu Chan walked out slowly and stood in front of Yan Li. Then without saying a word, she raised her little hand, gathered her spiritual energy, aimed it at Yan Li's mean face, and slapped her hard.

"Snapped!"

The next second, a loud slap was heard in the cell. Yan Li was beaten so badly that he didn't even have time to scream. His body tilted and fell heavily to the ground, and he instantly passed out.

Yan Xishan hurriedly leaned over and hugged his daughter in his arms, staring at Gu Chan and yelling, "How dare you hit my daughter?"

"Lord Yan, the slap I gave her was not a light blow. I'll give you three days to help me find the Imperial Sword. This will be my last chance. You can take her back and think about it slowly. If I don't see the Imperial Sword after three days, don't blame me for being merciless." Gu Chan said coldly with a gloomy face.

At this moment, she seemed to be really angry.

Yan Xishan stared at her with cold eyes, wishing he could tear her into pieces.

Gu Chan didn't want to say anything more and left immediately.

Yan Xishan could only pick up his unconscious daughter and follow her out of the prison.

After the three of them returned to the gate of the county government, Yan Xishan asked the official to help his daughter lie down in the carriage, and then said to everyone, "Everyone, you all saw that Gu Chan was not hurt at all, so don't make a fuss, and go! That's it for today, and I will catch the arsonist later."

"Wait a minute." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

"What do you want to do now? I warn you, don't go too far." Yan Xishan pointed at Gu Chan and roared.

Gu Chan didn't want to pay any attention to him. She just reached into the bag on her waist and took out the water bag containing the blood of two kinds of spiritual beasts.
