Better than Doing Meaningless Work

Nanli's lips twitched. It seemed Dalisi Procuratorate was indeed strapped for funds. Well, one tael was better than doing meaningless work. Moreover, this matter was likely connected to her elder brother, so she felt compelled to intervene.

She gestured to Qin Zheng, lowered her voice, and said a few words. Qin Zheng listened attentively and nodded hurriedly, "I understand!"

Nanli said, "Then I'll leave it to Lord Qin. Carry out everything according to plan and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Your Highness, rest assured," Qin Zheng assured her.

Immediately, Qin Zheng gathered his men and surrounded the Xue residence. He also brought Ming Chong along to ensure their safety, lest they face more sorcery that they couldn't handle.

Dalisi Procuratorate's sudden siege of the Xue residence caused quite a stir. The commoners gathered at the gates, speculating what offense the Xue family had committed to attract the Dalisi Procuratorate's officials and soldiers.
