Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Stepmother’s Difficulty
The road to the small town was an official road up ahead, and it was easy to follow the people behind. Further down was the main road with few pedestrians, making it easy for the trackers to reveal their targets.
Liu Sisi, who had been resting her eyes, nodded lightly: “Mm, Old Cheng takes a detour to the manor.”
The carriage quietly stopped in front of the manor, and Liu Sisi got off.
Inside the manor, two men soon appeared. They were Zhao Dun, Zhao Wu, and Zhao Xian, the father and sons trio.
“Quick, move the things inside and hide them well.”
“Yes, Madam.”
The three of them moved quickly, making two trips to move all the items from the carriage.
Liu Sisi rode the carriage again and took the road back home.
Those were some grains and the like, mixed with some weapons from this era. Most importantly, there were some raw materials Liu Sisi had collected for making gunpowder.
No wonder she was so ruthless, she had long prepared for a desperate situation!
If anything happened to Di Yelei, none of the people who hurt him would escape!
This side of Liu Sisi’s movement naturally reached the hands of the County Magistrate Su through various channels.
“Do you think Liu Sisi has a brain problem? Otherwise, why does she have the leisure to go to the official residence every day to supervise the work instead of trying to save that guy surnamed Di?”
Xin Quan frowned, unable to understand the situation.
County Magistrate Su threw the official document in his hand on the table casually and looked up at Xin Quan.
“Didn’t the servant report that it was the task assigned by that surnamed Di before he went to the prison room?”
“Do you believe that?” Xin Quan said with a disdainful look on his face.
“Of course I don’t believe it, haha! However, what does it all matter? Just wait two more days and there should be news from the city. When that time comes, hehehe…”
County Magistrate Su felt more and more happy about the situation, and couldn’t help but laugh proudly.
Speaking of this matter, Xin Quan also seemed much happier: “Your words are true. By the way, has any news come from the Seventh Prince?”
“Don’t worry! The Seventh Prince is busy dealing with the Fourth Prince at the moment. You and I may not be valued by the Seventh Prince, but with your uncle, the Garrison Commander of Gongzhou City… He will definitely make a statement.”
County Magistrate Su was quite clear about this matter.
“But… if we place our bets on the Seventh Prince and he loses, then…”
Xin Quan was, after all, a bit more cautious.
“Since ancient times, winners have become kings and losers have been outlaws. Now that we have come this far, do you still have delusions of turning back?” County Magistrate Su couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“Yes…”
Xin Quan said indifferently, secretly making up his mind to find another way out.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows, can’t people also leave themselves a way out?
…
Liu Sisi returned home and unexpectedly found that Liu Zhi’er had closed shop early today.
