Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhang Jinglin came out of the house with a few subordinates. His face was the same as the envoy’s.

“Zhang Jinghn, take him to the upper room on the left. You guys stay downstairs.”

Su Qing asked Zhang Jinglin to take a soldier upstairs while the others stayed in the room downstairs.

Not long after Zhang Jinglin went upstairs, she saw two men. They looked like they were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people. However, although the man walking in front was dressed casually, his official boots and tender hands revealed his identity. The other person walked with a gust of wind and followed half a shoulder behind the man in front.

Su Qing did her duty as a shopkeeper. She walked over and said to the two of them,

“The shopkeeper has gone out.”

“We’re not looking for him.”

The man walking in front looked like he was in his forties. His skin was pale, and his beard was sparse like a goatee. His eyes were filled with lust and greed. Although he wanted to hide his identity, he had developed a habit of walking officially. His voice was filled with the dignity of a superior.

“Then, who are you looking for?”

Su Qing asked him calmly.

“It’s none of your business.”

The man frowned and glanced at Su Qing. He was very dissatisfied with her behavior of asking probing questions. His eyes were impatient, and his tone was unfriendly.

Su Qing pretended to be honest and stepped back to make way.

The two of them rushed upstairs. Su Qing narrowed her eyes as she watched their backs.

Enemies were not scary; what was scary were the spies within.

After the two of them went upstairs, the guard, Little Ding, rushed back. She wanted to report to Su Qing when he saw her, but Su Qing stopped him with a look. She turned around and walked into the house, and Little Ding quickly followed her.

After entering the house, Su Qing ordered Xiao Ding,

“Speak.”

” Master, the waiter entered the government office and didn’t leave. Later, I saw…”

It turned out that the waiter had run to the government office to report that he recognized the thin man’s group as Japanese pirates. He thought that he could get a reward, but he did not want to lose his life.

“You said that the buddy was killed and thrown into the Mass Grave?”

Su Qing narrowed her eyes and thought of the two people who had just gone upstairs. She frowned. There was no doubt that this county magistrate was a spy for the Japanese pirates.

Upstairs, the county magistrate of Haicheng was reporting to Zhang Jinglin in a low voice,

“This lowly one has already killed the informer. Please tell the princess that this subordinate will ensure her safe return to her country.”

“Good, well done.”

Zhang Jinglin looked at this traitor and felt his heart burning with anger However, when he thought of the Empress’s plan, it was not the time to teach the county magistrate a lesson, so he spoke to him in Japanese.

“Thank you for your praise.”

When the county magistrate of Haicheng heard Zhang Jinglin praising him, he smiled so widely that his face was about to bloom.

He could understand and speak Japanese, meaning they had been conspiring for a long time.

“Go back quickly. If there’s nothing important, you’re not allowed to see me again.”

Zhang Jinglin’s face darkened as he ordered the guest to leave. However, the county magistrate of Haicheng was unwilling to leave.

“This lowly one wants to meet the princess. I’ve brought medicine to treat the princess’ foot injury.”

“Leave the medicine and go back.”

Zhang Jinghn snatched the medicine over and sternly ordered the county magistrate of Haicheng,

“You’re the one who’s responsible for delaying our business.”

“Yes, yes.”

The county magistrate left reluctantly. This was an excellent opportunity to please Princess Lanting. To please Princess Lanting was to please the crown prince.

This Lanting was the Crown Prince’s woman. He had offered her to the Emperor so she could infiltrate the Tang royal family and confuse the Emperor. She would interfere in the government, and he would become a foolish ruler.

If the Tang Emperor wanted to attack Japan, Lanting could buy time for Japan by telling them about it and then train some powerful officials to be spies. Unfortunately, Lanting had met Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu only had Su Qing in his heart. No matter how beautiful she was, it was useless.

The County Magistrate of Haicheng wanted to please the Crown Prince by pleasing Lanting so that he could get a good job after Japan conquered the Tang Empire.

Hurry up and leave. If you reveal your whereabouts, you will be held accountable.”

Zhang Jinglin sternly ordered the Haicheng County Magistrate. How could he let him see Lanting? The Empress had already killed her.

“Yes, yes.”

The county magistrate of Haicheng left unwillingly. He went out to take a look at Lanting’s room door. It was so close. Should he give it a try?

“Let’s go.”

Zhang Jinglin followed him out and noticed the Haicheng County Magistrate’s intentions. He pointed at the stairs and chased him away.

Haicheng County Magistrate could only walk downstairs. As he left, he still reminded Zhang Jinglin worriedly,

“Don’t forget to tell the princess that I was the one who found the medicine.”

Zhang Jinglin grunted in agreement. He stood at the staircase and watched the county magistrate go downstairs.

When the county magistrate passed by Su Qing, she raised her hand and scratched her eyebrows. The man behind the county magistrate looked at Su Qing warily. His hand was already on the hilt of the knife. Seeing that she only scratched her eyebrows and did nothing else, he put down his hand.

The county magistrate walked out of the door and bumped into the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was stunned when he saw him. The county magistrate looked at him coldly and said,

“Master, I’m working on a case. Don’t talk too much.”

“Yes, yes.”

The Shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and bowed, pretending not to recognize the magistrate as he watched him leave. After the magistrate left, the shopkeeper came to Su Qing and said,

“Sir, the food will be ready soon. Please wait a moment.”

“Alright.”

Su Qing nodded and saw the shopkeeper walk upstairs again. This time, she didn’t stop him.

“Sir, sir?”

The shopkeeper stood at Zhang Jinglin’s door and knocked on it. He was a little puzzled. Someone was watching the stairs previously. Why was he gone today? “What is it?”

Zhang Jinglin opened the door and came out. He blocked the door, and the shopkeeper could not see what was happening inside.

“Didn’t you say to send breakfast upstairs? The restaurant is short of manpower today so we will be a little slower. Please don’t take offense.” The innkeeper smiled at Zhang Jinglin. This group of customers was generous.

They helped to order the meal and even rewarded him with money. They should have ordered the meal a long time ago, but the damned waiter had gone somewhere, so he had to come personally.

“As usual.”

Zhang Jinglin’s imitation of the envoy’s voice was very similar. He was afraid of giving himself away and kept his words brief, but the shopkeeper did not suspect anything. He agreed and did not leave.

Zhang Jinglin understood that he was asking for money, so he took out two taels of silver and handed them over.

The shopkeeper took the silver with a smile. He made a lot of money today. Two servings had earned him one tael of silver. He didn’t feel horrible anymore about the customers who had left before.

At night, the waiter still hadn’t come back. The shopkeeper was anxious. He ran to the county government to report the case, but the bailiffs chased him out He returned to the inn dejectedly, feeling that the waiter was already dead.

In the afternoon, Su Qing asked the shopkeeper to check out.

“You’re leaving already?”

The shopkeeper remembered that Su Qing said she would stay for a few days He was depressed. If he didn’t leave earlier, his big customers wouldn’t have run away.

“Something urgent came up.”

Su Qing explained and asked the guard, Ding, to go to the backyard to get the carriage. She and Jiang Yuyan waited at the door.

The shopkeeper watched Su Qing get into the car and leave. At night, the shopkeeper stayed in the shop. He was tired and had to look after the shop. He couldn t stand it anymore and fell asleep at the counter.

After he fell asleep, two men in black walked into the inn. They glanced at the shopkeeper, sleeping soundly, and walked upstairs..
