The trio returned to the Gu Residence.
Liu Yexi and a group of secret guards had arrived in Linjiang City.
"In haste, without the Royal Decree, swiftly resolve the matter with the head of the Liu family. We'll seek imperial approval for the confiscation later," ordered Liu Yexi calmly.
"I left in a hurry this time and didn't bring a holy order. You guys quickly settle that Liu family head, and then ask for a decree to confiscate the family later."
Since the Liu family belonged to commerce rather than the government, they might not recognize the secret guards from the Imperial Announcements Bureau.
To prevent unnecessary resistance from the Liu family's subordinates, Liu Yexi chose to appear directly in the Liu residence with her entourage of secret guards, arriving at the door of the family head, Liu Wentian.
"Enter!"
Liu Yexi gestured with a delicate hand, and the secret guards forcefully broke down the door.
